Along Tushui, all the way to the west, more than a dozen torches, thirty or forty people, looking for it mightily, or suddenly roaring a few times, seeing the dry grass on the shore of Tushui, they had to poke it twice with a wooden stick.

Chen Ping followed behind by the light, watching this scene, thinking about the appearance of Ding in the village when he got up, shook his head, and suddenly laughed.

Where there is no joy in life, Ding Jin seems to have succeeded.

"Coaxing women is so effective? It's only been half a day's work. Looking back at Shangtu Village hidden in the dark, Chen Ping sighed, and he didn't know if the man at this time was too wooden, or Xue Xiong's concubine was too lonely.

Life is as lonely as snow.

When Chen An heard that he was going to worship his master tomorrow, and there was no horse to ride, let alone a horse, even a donkey had never been seen, and he howled in the courtyard at the moment.

"If you howl like this, you'll attract the wolves in the mountains." Dry howl without tears, Chen Ping wiped his face, wiped the warm linen cloth on the skin, used some force, the pores were stretched, and the fatigue of a few days was suddenly relieved, and he glanced at Chen An, "Have you heard the story of Grandma Wolf?" These days, the family has a little more money, and after a while, the money is not so tight, and my brother will buy you a donkey and ride it to the countryside to study. ”

"I want a horse." Chen Andao.

"Yes, it's all right. Buy a horse, buy a donkey. When I go to the countryside to study, I ride a horse to lead a donkey, and when I go back, I ride a donkey to lead a horse. Chen Ping wrung out the linen, wiped the water stains on his face, and mixed warm water for Chen An, "Come and wash, it's not too early, you need to get up early tomorrow, Brother will send you to the master first, and then you will go to the county." ”

"No, I'm going to ride a horse and a donkey a day." Everyone in the family has a piece of linen, Chen An took his own, the water temperature was just right, and he threw it into a wooden basin to soak it.

After washing, the brothers went back to the west.

Lying on the kang, although Chen Ping was sleepy and tired, he didn't fall asleep immediately, thinking about what he needed to do tomorrow, sorting it out in his mind before squinting.

The two brothers got up early in the morning, had breakfast, brought a dehaired duck, and then more than a dozen eggs, a few pieces of pork, and had already heard that the master liked fatty meat, and deliberately cut it from the place where he picked up the fat, Chen Ping sent Chen An to Master Liu's house.

Yesterday, I only gave a silver tael as the cost of bonding, and today Chen Ping brought some things, and Master Liu, who had been spared from a good dream, immediately showed a smiling face, and the expression of opening the door one moment ago was still Xingshi's expression, and the next moment was to praise Chen An, so that Chen Ping was a little suspicious that his younger brother would be able to take the first place at the age of tomorrow.

People are polite and not strange, and they are not deceitful.

Chen Ping explained a few words to Chen An, stayed in the master's courtyard, and went to Liuhe County by himself.

The original restaurant had to be demolished first, and the green bricks had to be transported in a location. Everything that should be done has to be handled by Chen Ping, and it is really difficult to do this by himself.

For more than ten days, Chen Ping did not stop. When the restaurant was completely demolished, other materials such as green bricks were also transported, and the foundation of the wall was excavated, Chen Ping was relieved to see Zhao Gui and others start to build the foundation wall.

"You have been with me for eight or nine days, and the decoration of the restaurant will be handed over to you to watch. Be careful, don't let people hurt. Chen Ping's current nature is to supervise the supervisor, which is equivalent to the supervisor of the later generations, but at this time, the identity of the supervisor should be disgusting, Chen Ping felt a trace of unhappiness from Zhao Gui's tone, but this is no way, the supervisor can't be lost, otherwise he is not responsible for himself, and instructed the lame Chen on the side, Chen Ping also paid attention to the wording, "There are still things at home that need to be dealt with urgently, and I will come back in time." ”

Chen Cripple was determined by Chen Ping after going back to sort out the candidates, and he planned to let him follow him and help deal with some things.

"But this ...... I don't know anything about the masons, in case they let them cheat. When Chen Ping knocked on the door, Chen Cripple thought that he was going back to continue to do the work of a domestic servant, eating meat and drinking soup, and learning the skills of stir-frying.

"Zhao Gong and I know each other well, he is an old craftsman, and I believe in his craftsmanship. How could the people he brought with him be stealing and playing tricks? Even if there is, Zhao Gong will clean it up himself, so he doesn't need you to come. Chen Ping glanced at Zhao Gui beside him, Zhao Gui heard this, his face showed a smile, and he continued to do the work in his hands, appeasing the old man, Chen Ping leaned closer to Chen Cripple, and lowered his voice, "Don't say this in front of Zhao Gong and others, I let you be here, I believe you can do it." The mud work is watched by Zhao Gong, and nothing will happen. But your task is also very difficult, this restaurant has invested in my family's assets, you can't be sloppy, you are the person I believe, you are your own person, and you are greasy and staring at me here. ”

This is full trust in Chen Cripple.

"My own people." muttered three words, Chen Cripple's eyes were a little red, and his expression was full, "Brother Ping, don't worry, I must take care of this restaurant." ”

"You don't just have to watch, you have to learn. It's not for you to steal the craftsmanship of Zhao Gong and others, it's for you to learn to manage people, just like Fang Cai, don't say it again. Chen Ping pointed at Chen Cripple.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, Chen Ping has no foundation, everything has to be done by himself, and people have to be cultivated little by little.

Although he was a little tired, Chen Ping was not worried, there was still time.

After explaining to Chen Cripple and greeting Zhao Gui, Chen Ping immediately turned back to the village. There are no horses and no donkeys, there are ox carts, and there are cattle in Wang's family, but Chen Ping did not borrow them, and it is better to use the ox cart than Chen Ping to walk by himself.

For more than ten miles, it has not rained for several days, the snow in the middle of the month has long been gone, the ground is dry and hard, and Chen Ping trotted all the way. Some buds sprouted from the dead grass on both sides of the road, revealing the smell of spring.

In the fields outside the village, the villagers were turning over the fields, and there were people who ploughed the oxen, putting reins on the oxen, holding the plows, shouting, and from time to time they whipped a whip.

is willing to beat his naughty baby, but this cattle farming is the work of the family, and it can't be a real fight.

Most of the people are holding shovels and turning the dirt by hand.

"Brother Ping is back, he went to the county seat before dawn, why did he come back so soon?" In the field, a village with a hoe in his hand, saw Chen Ping who returned to the village, and greeted him with a smile from afar, "I'm afraid that the restaurant has also been repaired now, right?" ”

Chen Ping slowed down and replied with a smile: "How can it be so fast, it will take a month to repair, and then I will pick up the second uncle and you will go to the store to try the new dishes." ”

"The second uncle won't go, you look at the second uncle's outfit, I'm afraid I'm going to lose your face when I go to that county." After resting for a while, the villagers picked up their hoes and continued to turn over the soil in the fields, not taking Chen Ping's words seriously.

Chen Ping didn't explain, he greeted him all the way, entered the village, and did not enter the house, but went to the side of Liuhe Mountain.

At the foot of Liuhe Mountain, on the side of the village road, a simple thatched hut was built, and at the foot of the mountain in front of the thatched hut, dozens of people were busy. (To be continued.) )
