Just when the Second Young Master Song was still struggling with whether he wanted to pay the bill, Xie Lingyun next to him suddenly smiled and said, "I also said just now that Zhou Gongzi's tea money this time will be paid by me, abacus beads, and let people go back and take seventy taels and send it to the shopkeeper!" ”

Hearing the young lady's instructions, the abacus just wanted to agree, but the second young master Song next to him naturally couldn't let the woman he liked pay the bill on his behalf, only to see him hurriedly stop the abacus and say: "Lingyun is slow, how can I let you pay the bill with me, so let's make a note, and the shopkeeper will send someone to the Song Mansion to get the money!" ”

When Second Young Master Song said the above words, although he tried his best to make himself seem that he didn't care, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and at the same time, he was about to vomit blood in distress. Seventy taels is not a small amount, and his monthly monthly silver is only more than thirty taels, but now it is good, Zhou Chong drank his two months' expenses with a meal of tea, and he didn't know how to spend the next month?

Looking at Second Young Master Song's distressed appearance, Xie Lingyun's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible cunning, and at the same time, he was also smiling secretly in his heart, this Second Young Master Song has no silver for the time being, see how he will entangle himself in the future?

At that moment, the second young master of Song wrote a note to the shopkeeper, and sent Xie Lingyun out of the teahouse with a strong spirit, and after the master and servant of the Xie family disappeared in his sight, the little white face of the second young master of Song was immediately covered with haze, and he looked in the direction of the Zhou Mansion for a long time, and then said viciously: "Zhou Chong, let you be free for two more days, and when your quasi-father-in-law falls, then the young master must let your Zhou family kneel on the ground and beg me!" ”

"Ah sneeze~" Zhou Chong, who was preparing dinner at home, suddenly sneezed.

"Which beautiful woman is talking about Young Master Ben again?" Zhou Zhong muttered in his mouth, then picked up the egg on the table and knocked it on the edge of the table, and beat the egg into the bowl very skillfully.

Originally, today's dinner was prepared by Bang'er, don't look at Bang'er used to be a daughter-in-law, but cooking was one of the compulsory courses for women in the Ming Dynasty, so although her cooking skills were not as good as Aunt Luo's, she was also very good. However, Zhou Zhong thinks that everyone has suffered a lot during this time, and it is necessary to make a sumptuous dinner to celebrate, so it is definitely not possible to rely on Bang'er alone.

In his previous life, Zhou Chong became an orphan early, if he didn't know how to cook, I'm afraid he would have starved to death, plus his mouth is also relatively greedy, and he can't lack meat at every meal, so his cooking skills are still good, for example, today he made two dishes, one of which is stewed tofu with pork bones, and the other is egg tofu and cabbage soup. Although Steward Xu is delicious, his cooking skills are really not very good, so he is only responsible for steaming rice, and the rest of the dishes are mainly taken care of by Bang'er.

The three of them had been busy all the time, and it was almost dark, so they prepared a table of rich dishes. Seeing that Zhou Chong and Bang'er could be so happy, Aunt Wang's mood also improved a lot, looking at the table full of meals, she kept praising their brothers and sisters' good craftsmanship, but she was a little strange: Zhou Chong grew up with her, but she never knew that he could cook?

In fact, not only Aunt Wang is strange, but also Bang'er and Steward Xu, the gentleman is far away from cooking, Zhou Chong's previous energy was focused on reading, and he has never cared about other things, how could he make a first-hand dish?

Zhou Zhong did not explain the questions in the hearts of Aunt Wang and Bang'er, it was not that Zhou Chong deliberately wanted to remain mysterious, but he didn't know how to explain it. In addition, he explained about cooking today, so he will show his talents in other aspects in the future, and he will definitely need to explain, and then he doesn't know what kind of lie Lu Dao wants to make up, rather than such a lie and a lie, it is better not to explain it at the beginning, so that the people around him can slowly adapt to his mystery, and over time, no one will naturally ask again.

Although Aunt Wang and Bang'er had some doubts in their hearts, they didn't want to explain when they saw that Zhou Zhong didn't want to explain, so they didn't ask anymore, plus they did suffer during this time, not only to bear the grief of Zhou Hai's death, but also to bear the loss of the dilapidated family business, and not to eat and sleep well all day long, although Zhou Zhong has been asking Steward Xu to hide the current situation of the family from Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang and Bang'er can also see that the situation at home may have reached the point of exhaustion, otherwise they would not drink porridge and eat pickles every day.

Now the situation at home has finally improved, and seeing Zhou Chong's refreshed appearance, this makes Aunt Wang and Bang'er breathe a sigh of relief, and feel that a hanging heart has also been put down, so this meal is naturally very happy, plus the meal is very rich, so everyone has eaten a lot more than usual.

Zhou Zhong also has a big appetite, as a carnivore, let him drink porridge and eat pickles for several days, it is even more uncomfortable than killing him, although he ate the grunt meat sent by Aunt Luo last night, but that bit of meat not only can not satisfy his cravings, but also hooked his gluttony, if he can't eat meat today, it is estimated that he even has the mind of blocking the road and robbing.

It is precisely because of his vegetarian career during this period of time that Zhou Chong feels that today's food is particularly fragrant, especially the pork bone stewed tofu he made, the two big bones in it are one for him and one for Duo'er, and the gnawing is full of oil, Duo'er people don't have many snacks, and the last two big bone sticks are all eaten by Zhou Chong alone, and even the bone marrow inside was knocked open and sucked clean. This made Steward Xu, who had always been greedy, drool, drool, but he was embarrassed to ask Zhou Zhong for it, and he could only desperately stuff tofu into his mouth.

Everyone ate this meal, especially Zhou Zhong and Duo'er, who lay on the chair and didn't want to move, and the bracelet was similar, after all, they were young people and their self-control was relatively poor. The last thing was that Aunt Wang helped Steward Xu clean up the mess, but just when Steward Xu sent things to the kitchen in front, he heard someone knocking on the door, and Steward Xu ran over to open the door, only to find Butcher Wu standing outside the door, and a car full of pork was parked under the steps.

"Yo, Brother Wushan, I'm really sorry, we were eating in the backyard just now, and we couldn't hear the call in front of us, you've been waiting for a long time!" Steward Xu remembered when he saw Wu Shan, the other party said that he would stay in tonight, but they were so happy when they were eating just now that they forgot about it, and they didn't know how long the other party had knocked on the door, so he apologized as soon as he came up.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shan showed a simple smile and said: "Steward Xu is polite, in fact, I just came, you see if I am free now, I still have a cart of pork here, I want to push it to the yard to rest quickly!" ”

"When I have time, I'll open the corner door next to me, you push the car in, and I'll take you to see the yard!" Steward Xu said and opened the corner door next to the gate, the gate of Zhou's mansion has steps, and the car naturally can't get in, but the corner door next to it is used for vehicles to enter and exit.

Butcher Wu rubbed his hands that were about to freeze, and pushed the cart into the Zhou Mansion, at this time it was completely dark, but he still couldn't help but look around curiously, if it was before, he would not be able to enter at all with his identity, so he was also very curious about the rich family of the Zhou Mansion.

For Butcher Wu's curiosity, a trace of pride flashed on Steward Xu's face that had disappeared for a long time, but then he became a little lonely. He first went to the kitchen to greet the fifth aunt, and then took Butcher Wu to the two courtyards on the right side of the front yard of the Zhou Mansion and said: "Brother Wu, you see, there are two courtyards here, of which the courtyard in the back is where I live, and the courtyard in front is empty. ”

"Okay, it's good to have a bed, I've already brought all the covers!" Wu Shanben was busy all afternoon today, and he didn't have time to prepare anything, so he brought the bedding over, thinking that he would make a bunk today, but he didn't expect the Zhou family to be willing to provide a bed, which saved him from moving the bed at home tomorrow.

At that moment, Steward Xu opened the gate of the yard, carried a lantern in front to guide Butcher Wu, and waited until the other party pushed the car into the yard, Steward Xu briefly introduced the situation of the yard to him.

This courtyard is almost exactly the same as the courtyard where Steward Xu lives, in addition to the three main rooms, there are two side rooms on the other two sides, Jane tidy up, one can be used as a kitchen, and the other can be used as a storage room, so that Wu Shan can store pork.

After Wu Shan saw the yard, he was also very satisfied, at this time Zhou Zhong also knew the news of Wu Shan's arrival from Aunt Wang, so he rushed over, and then he took Wu Shan to the next room, where there were many beds for the next people, Wu Shan picked the strongest and most bulky bed, after all, with his physique, the general bed really can't bear it.

Originally, Zhou Zhong also wanted to help Wu Shan lift the bed, and a bed also had hundreds of pounds, but he didn't expect Wu Shan, a big man, to have amazing strength, and he lifted the bed up and put it on his shoulder with one hand, and it looked effortless at all, just like an ordinary person moving a small chair, which made Zhou Chong praise it: "Good strength!" ”

After arranging Wu Shan, Zhou Zhong returned to the backyard, and Steward Xu chatted with Wu Shan for a while, mainly to tell the other party to pay attention to the places to live in the house, for example, Wu Shan can only be active in the front yard, and the backyard is where Zhou Zhong and Aunt Wang live, most of them are female dependents, so they are absolutely not allowed to go in.

When Zhou Zhong returned to the inner house, he wanted to write down the Journey to the West in his mind in the study, so that Steward Xu could prepare early, beat his fame as soon as possible, and earn the first pot of gold for himself. With this most critical first pot of gold, he can also borrow money to make money, so that the family can recover as soon as possible.

However, just as Zhou Chong was passing by the back garden, he suddenly heard a strange sound from the courtyard.
