Worried about the labor for the opening of Laifu, Chen Ke's homework was naturally affected.
In Chen Xiliang's view, nothing is more important than studying, and now Laifu is an instant hit, and future business will not be a problem. He no longer turned a blind eye, but wanted to use the homework of Mount Tai to collect his son's heart.
In the past three months, Chen Ke has copied "Guangyun" twice and silently repeatedly, and the regular script in one hand is already eye-catching, and he can basically master the sound rhyme...... What shocked Chen Xiliang the most was his perverted memory. Ordinary readers even need a year to memorize "Rhyme", but Chen Ke can already write "Guangyun" silently.
Chen Xiliang took a year to memorize "Rhyme", and sure enough, people are more popular than people. Well, the more capable you are, the heavier your homework, but you have to see where your limits are.
This brings us to the second lesson, 'Exegesis.' Interpreting the meaning of words in the current language is called 'Xun', and using contemporary language to explain the ancient language is called 'Xu', so Xun is a discipline that specializes in explaining ancient words and sentences. Chen Xiliang ordered Saburo to copy a series of exegetical classics such as "Erya", "Poetry and Teaching", and "Mao's Poetry Justice", and asked to recite the full text.
The schoolwork is too heavy, poor Saburo, in the next few days, I can only honestly retreat, learning from his 'call my uncle, I call my nephew', 'the hall on the side of the door is called the school', 'the highest for it, Jing; It is not man-made, and the mound is 'and 'the dog is a mastiff'...... The consolation was that he was finally freed from the labor of three meals a day.
Every morning, shortly after the dawn of Toutuo, there are guys from the breakfast shop on the front street, carrying the burden to deliver the food. There are a lot of patterns in the early days, and they don't repeat for a long time. For example, the day before yesterday, we served steamed buns with pork filling, yesterday we will serve white meat cakes, pork pancreatic cakes, vegetable cakes and other cakes, today we will eat soup cakes such as shredded chicken noodles, three fresh noodles, bamboo shoots and pork noodles, and tomorrow we may have ring cakes and cooking cakes.
These kinds of food, accompanied by two rice porridge, two Chen soup, and all kinds of refreshing cold dishes, cost 25 yuan per meal, and 800 yuan a month...... Breakfast is provided by people who are frugal, of course, it will not be so expensive, but Chen Xiliang does not care about the cost in order to keep the children well fed.
After breakfast, Chen Xiliang and Erlang went out, and Chen Ke wanted to supervise the two younger brothers to study while working hard. Near noon, there are Laifu guys with food boxes to the door, although there are only three children to eat, but Chuanfu will cook four dishes and one soup for each meal, meat and vegetable matching, never fool.
After lunch, put the utensils back into the food box, and in the evening, the guy will come over with a food box and take the noon one away...... Because there are many people at night, Chuanfu will add two dishes. Chen Xiliang was very reluctant to go, and often went over to help at night.
In any case, the problem of eating for the five fathers and sons has been completely solved...... This is a family without a woman, which is really worth celebrating. However, there are pros and cons to everything, that is, the three brothers who are still skinny in the spring have all shown signs of becoming chubby.
Liulang is chubby and quite cute, but Chen Ke can't tolerate himself becoming fat...... In Shu, where the general body is small, fat people are discriminated against. So he discussed with his father that he would take his younger brothers to exercise in addition to schoolwork.
Chen Xiliang himself has learned kung fu, so he naturally doesn't want his sons to become weak scholars who have no power to bind chickens, and he deeply agrees with Chen Ke's suggestion.
So every morning before dawn, he took Gorou to run circles around the county seat, and after returning home, he practiced according to the outline of the army's recruit training, of course, there was no need to kick the right step and stand in line. Sweating profusely after the exercise, I took a shower for breakfast, and at noon and afternoon, I would take Rokuro to do a set of military gymnastics, and I had to toss the meat I ate.
In this regard, Gorou once asked very philosophically; "It's so hard, why eat a lot?"
"Life is in motion." Chen Ke also replied philosophically.
Wulang didn't understand, so Chen Ke replied simply: "I consumed my strength and grew my strength." ”
Wulang still didn't understand, Chen Ke had to say with a black face: "You can't skip eating just because you want to excrete......"
"I see......" Gorou suddenly said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This morning, Chen Ke was competing with Gorou to do push-ups, and Rokuro was cheering on the side, when he suddenly heard a call outside.
"Delivered food so early?" Chen Ke bounced up from the ground, put on a single coat randomly, and went to open the door to see that it was Pan Carpenter. I saw him with two apprentices and pushing two carts full of them.
"Uncle Pan, you went to the wrong door." Chen Ke laughed and said: "Our family didn't buy furniture. ”
"That's right, it's for your family." Carpenter Pan carried a brand-new official hat chair on his back, sweating profusely, and said, "Find a place to put it down!" ”
"Oh......" Chen Ke was a little stunned, but he still got out of the way.
Carpenter Pan ordered his apprentices to push the cart in, remove the tables, chairs, benches, books, coffee tables and other furniture on it, and clean the brand new red camphor wood...... Although it is not as precious as pineapple wood, in this era, it is already a good material, and it is finely carved and elegantly lacquered, and it is a work of sincerity at a glance.
After unloading the car, Carpenter Pan asked his apprentices to move the furniture into the house, and he took his carpenter's bag from the car to unload the rotten doors and windows.
Chen Ke finally reacted, grabbed him and said, "What is this doing?" ”
"Last time I came over, I saw that the furniture, doors and windows in San Lang's house were too unpresentable," Carpenter Pan couldn't help but say, took off a window, broke it into two pieces with his hand, and handed it to Chen Ke to see: "Look, this is all rotten." Then he threw it on the ground, went to unload another fan, and said, "Isn't this a slap in our face?" I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have to change it to Saburo's house, but the owner of the goods is urging too tightly, so I can only see the stitches and insert a little bit every day, and I didn't finish it until the day before yesterday. As he spoke, he pointed to the furniture outside and said, "I'll send it to you after a little dry." "The lacquer of this age is harvested from natural lacquer trees, which is non-toxic and non-polluting, and can be used with confidence.
"Thank you...... Chen Ke was a little moved: "How much is it?" ”
"Asking you for money?" Carpenter Pan shook his head and said, "I have to be laughed at by two apprentices. Saying that, he couldn't hide his smugness and said: "Do you know how many righteous times you will order out this month?" ”
"One hundred?" Chen Ke said with a smile.
"Five hundred!" Carpenter Pan stretched out his big rough hand and grinned.
"So much?" Chen Ke was surprised: "You're not afraid to hold on?" ”
"I can't hold on, we bought a new yard and hired ten workers," Carpenter Pan said with a big grin: "My two apprentices are now masters." ”
"Congratulations." Chen Ke hugged his fists and said: "I really didn't expect that our county market is so big." ”
"Naturally, our county alone can't do it, it's those woodsmiths from the neighboring counties who came to order." Carpenter Pan scratched his head and said: "The prefect's yamen and the yamen of various counties also came to order, but they only gave me half the price, and I don't know if I will agree." ”
"Of course I agreed," Chen Ke said categorically: "How many sets do you want in total?" ”
"Add it up, I'm afraid it will take a hundred." Pan Carpenter said in pain.
"If you listen to me, you'll just give it away." Chen Ke said.
"Why?"
"Why?" Chen Ke said: "The righteousness has always been so popular, and soon someone will imitate it, although you have already filed it in the government, but people in their hometowns will definitely turn a blind eye, how much loss will it cause you?" Although counterfeiting cannot be eradicated, counterfeiting can still be prohibited. Besides, you will be a businessman with status in the future, and you will inevitably deal with the government, which is a good opportunity to build relationships. ”
"I see." Carpenter Pan nodded heavily and grinned: "San Lang is insightful, just your words are worth the money for these furniture." ”
Carpenter Pan and his apprentices worked for most of the day, replacing the doors and windows of the three rooms and the courtyard gates, and putting brand-new official hat chairs, eight immortal tables, and generous bookcases and bookshelves in the house...... There's even a huge eight-step bed. This bed alone will take more than half a month to build, which shows that Carpenter Pan is telling the truth.
Chen Ke went to the street to buy fresh ingredients, personally cooked four dishes, and took out two jars of wine from the east house and set up a full table under the shade of the tree.
Seeing the fragrant and attractive stir-fry on the table, Carpenter Pan's eyes widened and said, "Boss Cai's magic skills are really taught by you!" He is also a hot figure in the county now, and naturally he has tasted the craft of passing on wealth at the Rifle Hotel.
"Hehe, sort of...... "Chuanfu has been in and out of his house for two months, and the neighbors know about it, so this kind of thing can't be hidden at all.
"God! There's nothing to say, Saburo is a god! Carpenter Pan picked up the thumb brother, and his two apprentices also nodded vigorously, admiring the five bodies.
"I'm embarrassed to say that." Chen Ke held the wine jar and poured wine for Pan's carpenter and apprentice: "This is home-brewed, taste how it tastes." ”
The orange-red liquor slowly poured into the bowl from the mouth of the jar, and the air was filled with the fragrance of oranges. Before he drank it, the three masters and apprentices felt pleasing to the eye, and they shrugged their noses and smelled it.
Chen Ke regretted: "You have to use a glass, this wine can show benefits......"
But he undoubtedly played the piano to the cow, and the master and apprentice of the carpenter Pan had already picked up the wine bowl, drank it all, and then wiped his mouth and laughed: "Good wine!" Wine! ”
