Chapter 594: Calling for Rice (25)

The shopkeeper's wife sat back in her chair, took back the peaches she had eaten a few bites from the tray, and said, "None of the workers, including the housekeepers, are polite." The door was closed, and no one answered the knock, so I dragged the door in and looked like a thief. ”

The shopkeeper's wife peeled off the peach skin and bit it.

The shopkeeper ate the remaining half of the plum, threw the plum core in the tray, and said, "It's good to build a house for nothing, but it's a little annoying." The shopkeeper glanced in the direction of the closed door. He was looking at the construction site, at the workers.

The shopkeeper's wife peeled the peach skin, "Bear with it first, and then talk about building a house." The shopkeeper's wife took the peach, looked forward, and said, "Build a room for free." ”

The shopkeeper took a piece of candy, peeled it, threw it in his mouth and chewed it, and said, "Just build us a room for free, otherwise I would have been kicked out." ”

"I heard that it is expensive to build a house now, and it is expensive on bricks and tiles." The shopkeeper's wife peels the peach skin and eats the peach.

"It's expensive to build a house right now. Not only bricks and tiles, but also wood and workers, all of which require money. There are fewer workers to build houses, and if there is less, he will be expensive. There is also wood, you can't use too bad wood to build a house, you have to use some good wood, and the price of better wood will be more expensive. You still have to process the wood when you buy it, and the processed wood is more expensive. Let's endure until he finishes building the house. ”

"There is no such cheap thing in the world, people build us a house, we have to endure those rude guys." The shopkeeper's wife peeled the peach and ate it.

The maid went to the backyard to get an axe for the workman, and when she turned back halfway and saw the workman coming, she looked at her and went her way to get the axe for the worker. She looked for her sister and shouted, "Sister? "Sister?"

The maid who was cooking was in the room, and after hearing this, she got off the kang and opened the door and walked out, she said, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing the sister come out, she was just about to speak, and Qian Xiwu behind her smiled at the maid who opened the door: "The housekeeper borrows an axe from the shopkeeper and chops wood." ”

"The shopkeeper asked me to get him an axe." The maid said.

"There." The maid who came out of the door pointed out.

The maid smiled at the sister and went to get the axe. She took an axe and came to give Qian Xiwu. Qian Xiwu smiled, took the axe, and said, "Trouble old sister." ”

"Don't bother, the shopkeeper will let me take it." The maid returned.

Qian Xiwu gestured and took the axe to send it to the housekeeper.

"Where are you in the house?" After the worker left, the maid asked her sister.

"Sew clothes in the house." The maid who opened the door returned.

"You're in the house, I still have to go back, the master is waiting for the shopkeeper." The maid wanted to go back to the master's room.

"There you go." The maid who opened the door returned to the house to see her sister.

"I went." The maid beckoned to the sister and went back to the master's shopkeeper's house.

When she saw that the sister was gone, the maid who had opened the door went back to the house and closed the door.

Qian Xiwu borrowed the axe, walked into the construction site, and shouted, "Butler, the axe has been borrowed." ”

"Bring it quickly." Butler Road.

"Butler, can you catch it?" Qian Xiwu thinks it's fast to throw it over.

"Then how can I take it?" The housekeeper didn't dare to take it, so he asked Qian Xiwu to bring it quickly.

Qian Xiwu tried it and wanted to throw it on the ground, but he didn't throw it, but he still left. The housekeeper said, "Don't throw it, bring it." ”

Qian Xiwu brought the axe, the housekeeper took the axe, he turned to face the carriage: "Take the axe and chop." When he walked to the car, the butler tried the backbone, and then chopped it hard.

The axe was quite good, relatively sharp, and the butler chopped a few times hard, and then chopped the backbone.

The butler chopped the bones, and the maid went back to the master's shopkeeper's house and closed the door. Qian Xi went back five times and sat back where he came. "Ahh Qian Xiwu said: "The housekeeper doesn't give us good food, and the cart and horse meat are all sold to people." ”

"Good food has to work well. Can't we do a good job? He Bufan looked at the butler with his arm.

"I'm tired of work, this house is not easy to build, and I have to tear down the foundation, tear down the foundation and then build the house. Just do it normally, he will give it to us, no more, call a meat and a vegetable, anything for rice, steamed rice cakes. He Feng sat there and said, looking at the housekeeper a few times.

"One person and one bowl of lo mein, said to add steamed buns. If he just eats this, I won't bring him to work hard. "Why don't you look at the housekeeper, the housekeeper has a lot of strength to chop bones, and he should be the one who deserves it.

"I use a little energy, and if I can't do it, I don't use energy." Qian Xi stretched his legs and sat down as a housekeeper.

"A bowl of lo mein, can the noodles be strong after eating?" He Bufan said.

"I don't know how much meat is in the marinade?" Qian Xiwu said.

"Not much, there are a few pieces of meat in the marinade, and the rest is vegetables, and the most is not vegetables, it is marinated soup. The soup was thickened, and it was quite salty. He Bufan said.

"How do you know?" Qian Xi asked.

"It's the same everywhere, taverns, restaurants, inns, who put more meat on you?" He Bufan said. He asked, "Haven't you ever eaten noodles at a restaurant or anything?" ”

Qian Xiwu has eaten it, he didn't care about this, it was quite delicious to eat the marinade, I don't know what to put it? He said: "I've eaten, I'm okay to eat, I can't pee after eating, I'll be hungry when I pee." ”

"Noodles aren't for our work to eat the ground, can they fight hunger?" Why don't you look at the housekeeper.

"You can't eat this thing when you work." Qian Xi said with his legs crossed.

"Just add two steamed buns, not even a mouthful of food. If you want to eat like this, I don't have to work hard. "Why don't you look at the butler.

"What's the matter, it's up to everyone to eat." Qian Xiwu said.

"I can't eat anything." Fei Teng touched his wounded mouth.

"Can't you drink porridge?" Qian Xiwu said.

"I can drink porridge, but I can't eat that vegetable and noodles." Fei Teng replied to him.

"You eat the one with your teeth." Qian Xiwu said about him.

"We're all done, the housekeeper will take us to the inn outside the south gate to eat, can we still eat?" He Feng, who was sitting there, asked.

"Let's go in too, we can't grab the noodles and eat them, if it's peanuts, beans, cut meat or something, we can grab a few bites and eat it." Let's follow up and take a look in the guest room. Qian Xiwu said.

The butler chopped off the backbone, estimated to be five catties, so he didn't chop it. He threw the axe and said, "Okay, I'll weigh you." ”

The housekeeper put the chopped bones on the scales, and then an old lady and two women came over, and the old lady asked, "Why is this meat sold on the ground, what kind of meat?" ”

There are people again, the housekeeper still has something to do, and those who came back from outside the south gate are still hungry, so he has to call for food. He replied: "Two copper plates a catty, no matter what it is, this is horse meat." ”

"Two copper plates a catty, it's cheap?" The old lady looked at the horse meat in the car, and the two women also looked at the horse meat in the car.

The housekeeper still had something to do, he had to call for food for the one who came back from the south gate, he picked up the scales and weighed the bones, turned back to the construction site and shouted: "Which of you will weigh the scales, come and help me sell the horse meat, and I will go to the inn for them to call for food?" ”

The four people at the construction site listened and did not answer immediately, some of them could weigh and some could not weigh, those who could not weigh were looking, and those who could weigh were hesitating. "Which of you will weigh the scales? Will Qianxi Wuhui? The butler asked again.

Qianxi Wuhui, the housekeeper asked him, and he replied: "Yes." ”
