Chapter 547: Back to the Village (7)

, Qian Xiwu was a little hungry for work, and he glanced at the cart and horse meat. said: "Village master, can you stew some horse meat for me to eat, are you hungry?" ”

It's as if the work is not done yet, and it's time to eat. The village lord replied: "I will leave everything here to the housekeeper, do the work, eat, rest and sleep, you ask the housekeeper." ”

The butler said, "You go to work first, and I'll go to the inn in a while." ”

Qian Xi put his stomach in his five hands, looked left and right, and replied: "I'll go to work." After finishing speaking, Qian Xi went back there five times, picked up a hammer, and smashed the wall with a hammer.

The housekeeper saw him smash the wall and said, "This man needs food when he works." ”

The village lord said, "Don't worry about him. After speaking, he turned to look at the shopkeeper. He said, "Is this shopkeeper still burning the fire?" ”

The housekeeper looked at the place where the shopkeeper disappeared and said, "This shopkeeper, should you grind that?" ”

"Grind?" The village lord said, "Let's go over and take a look?" ”

The housekeeper said: "Give him some more time, if you don't come, let's go and look at him in the dark?" ”

"Okay, wait a while, if you don't come, let's go over and look at him in the shadows." The village lord returned.

The village supervisor's house, facing the collapsed house, watched the workers work. There are also the family members of this family, two. Seeing the cart and horse meat, the village owner said to the housekeeper: "Can you borrow a rod and scale from the family, and borrow a larger scale?" ”

"Family?" The housekeeper replied: "The family can't borrow it." It's not that he can't borrow, it's that he doesn't have that power. To borrow a scale, you have to borrow it from the shopkeeper, or from the treasurer's daughter-in-law. ”

After hearing this, the village lord said, "Then wait for the shopkeeper to come." Come to the treasurer, and borrow from him. ”

The maid was chopping wood and preparing to make dinner. The shopkeeper came and said, "First of all, boil a fire for me and boil water in a kettle." ”

When the maid saw the shopkeeper, she stood up and carried her axe. She asked, "Shopkeeper, do you want to make tea again?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the axe in the maid's hand and replied, "Make tea." Quick, boil water to make tea. ”

The maid said, "There are two jugs of warm boiled water that have not yet been drunk." ”

"This village supervisor is going to beat me up?" The shopkeeper muttered, he said, "Put the warm boiled water aside, take a pot and pour cold water, and boil the water out of the kettle." ”

This shopkeeper wants to delay the meeting, do not boil the warm water, boil the cold water, and the time is longer.

The maid said, "The warm boiled water, let it cool, drink the cold boiled water?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Let it cool, drink cold boiled water." When the shopkeeper saw some pieces of wood beside him, he said, "When you have finished chopping wood, you will make a fire and boil water." ”

The maid calmed down, oh, and squatted down to chop wood.

The shopkeeper found a place to sit and wanted to drag him down. It only dragged him for a while, and it didn't last long.

The shopkeeper watched as the maid split the wood one by one and split it into small halberds. The maid wiped her forehead, picked up a handful of firewood, and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm going to light the fire?" ”

"Go ahead." This shopkeeper back.

The maid went to the kitchen to pick up firewood, and carried all the chopped firewood back and forth. Then she started a fire and boiled water.

The shopkeeper sat against the wall and looked up at the green smoke from the chimney. The heart said, "When the water is boiled, I will make tea for the two of you." I've had enough of you. ”

The firewood is large, and the boiling water is fast. The kettle was rattling, but it wasn't steaming yet. The maid was adding wood to the stove.

The shopkeeper sat there, just waiting for the water to boil, and made tea for the village supervisor's house. When I was thinking, I only heard footsteps and walked briskly. "Why hasn't this man boiled the water yet?"

"Butler." The shopkeeper heard the speaker's voice.

The village lord and the housekeeper soon appeared, and they both looked at the chimney. He sat in front of the wall, and the village lord and housekeeper did not see him. The steward looked up at the smoke-smoking chimney and said, "Is this fire burning, and the water is not yet boiling?" ”

The village lord said, "This should be the kitchen, go in and have a look." After speaking, he walked away.

When the village lord and the housekeeper entered the house, they saw a maid burning wood and a kettle sitting on the stove. The two of them looked into the room, but there was no one else.

"Where's the shopkeeper?" The village lord said.

When the maid heard someone coming in, she stood up and looked.

The village lord asked the maid, "Where is your shopkeeper, I will find your shopkeeper." ”

"The shopkeeper is sitting outside, don't you see?" The maid returned.

"Just out there?" The village lord and housekeeper turned around to look outside. Only the shopkeeper was sitting in front of the wall. "Where are you sitting?" The village supervisor said goodbye.

"Why don't you squeak?" The village lord said that the shopkeeper was leaving.

"Where did this man go?" The housekeeper said and followed the village master out.

When the shopkeeper saw the village supervisor coming, he stood up and spanked. The village lord came and said, "You didn't sit here and look at us, why don't you squeak, is the water boiling?" ”

The shopkeeper replied: "It should be soon." He glanced down at the chimney.

The village owner said: "Boil it and make tea for the two of us, that, do you have a scale at home, do you want a bigger land?" ”

"Oh - scales? Yes? The shopkeeper asked, "What is the village master doing with the scale?" ”

The owner of the village said, "Sell horse meat." Didn't I pull the cart and sell the horse meat, and let the housekeeper sell the horse meat while watching the workers work. Don't delay. ”

The shopkeeper listened: "Oh, there is a name. I'll tell the maid to bring it to you. After speaking, the shopkeeper shouted: "That maid, come out, don't boil the water yet." ”

"Oh, here," the kitchen maid responded, and quickly walked out. The maid trotted to the shopkeeper and asked, "What's the matter with the shopkeeper?" ”

"What's the matter, you go and get a scale for the village owner, take the bigger scale, the village owner sells horse meat." The shopkeeper said.

"Oh, got it." The maid replied and went.

When the maid went, the shopkeeper asked, "Why do you let the housekeeper sell meat?" ”

The village owner replied: "The horse's feet are broken, and it costs too much money to spend money on treatment, so it is better to kill and sell meat, but to make money." ”

"Oh, I see." This shopkeeper.

"Here comes the scales." Soon the maid brought in a scale as large as a tray, with a long rod and a larger scale. She walked over to the shopkeeper with the scale.

The shopkeeper said, "Give the scale to the village owner." ”

The maid took the scale to the village master.

When the village lord heard this, he saw it and said, "Give me something, give it to the housekeeper." The village lord said to the maid, "To the housekeeper." ”

The maid pointed the scale to the butler.

"Give it to me." The butler took the scale with both hands.

The housekeeper took the scale, and the village lord asked the housekeeper, "Will you make an appointment with the scale?" ”

The housekeeper made an appointment with the scales, and he had set up a stall to sell things before, and he replied: "Appointment, don't you know, I used to set up a stall to sell vegetables." ”

The village lord patted his head and said, "Oh, I'm so busy with village affairs that I forgot what you were doing before." ”

The housekeeper said: "The village owner is busy with all kinds of things in the village, which can be described as a daily opportunity. You are working for the people, for the people. You are so busy with the people that you have forgotten what I did before, are you concentrating on working for the people? ”

At this time, the maid said, "Shopkeeper, I'll go and see the kettle." ”

"Go ahead." The shopkeeper said.

The maid trotted to the kitchen to see the boiling water in the pot.

When the maid entered the kitchen, she saw that the kettle was steaming, and the eyes of the furnace were full of flames that burned very fast, and the sound of the fire was louder than the sound of the water boiling. She went to get the kettle and shouted, "The water is boiling." ”
