Chapter 35: The Master is on top
"Sister Meng~~~" The little girl Xing'er was the first to come to Meng's house, because she had a good impression of Meng Hao, and the little girl threw herself directly into Meng Hao's arms as soon as she came.
Meng Hao ran on the mountain for a day, and now she is covered in the smell of sweat, and it is difficult for her, but she doesn't dislike it at all.
"Aunt Guo, Brother Guo, come in and sit." Seeing Aunt Guo's mother and son slowly walking in behind the little girl, Meng Hao hurriedly beckoned them to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.
Su Shen took a plate of trough cakes from the cupboard and put it on the stone table, while Meng Zhen quickly brewed three bowls of sugar water for the Guo family.
Aunt Guo kept saying, "Don't be busy, we're not thirsty", but Meng Zhen still brought the sugar water to them.
"Drink it, I'm all ready, won't you waste it if you don't drink it?" Meng Zhen smiled and motioned to Guo Xing'er to hurry up and drink, but the little girl secretly used the corner of her eye to look at her mother.
Aunt Guo is grateful and funny, gratitude is for Meng Zhen, but it's funny because of her daughter's little appearance that she wants to drink but doesn't dare to drink, she glared at the little girl who secretly looked at her face, "Don't thank you Sister Meng yet?" β
The little girl cheered, "Thank you, Sister Meng!" Sister Meng, you are the best! Apricot likes you the most! β
Meng Hao couldn't help laughing, she raised her hand and touched the little girl's head, "Aunt Guo, I invited you over because I wanted you to help me with something." β
As soon as she said that she wanted to ask the Guo family to help take care of the livestock at home, Aunt Guo immediately patted her chest and agreed, "What a big deal do I think it is, it turns out that I am feeding these open-mouthed things in your family!" It's easy! Rest assured, my aunt promises to serve them properly every day. β
"And me, I can help my mother cut the grass and dig wild vegetables." Guo Xing'er, who was unwilling to be lonely, heard this, and hurriedly raised her hand to interject, showing off her sense of existence.
Meng Hao couldn't help but smile, "Xing'er is amazing." β
Guo Xing'er's little face flushed.
Her sister Meng is really good, she looks good (?) ), good personality, good to her, is simply a fairy-like young lady.
Meng Zhen held one of the little girl's little hands, "Then I will give my aunt 300 wen a month as wages." β
Aunt Guo was startled, and she shook her hands vigorously, "No, no, how can I let you pay me." You taught my family Ah Yang to hunt, and my family hasn't thanked you yet. It's rare that you can use us, and if we still collect money, can we still be considered individuals? β
Su Shen: ......
Meng Zhen: ...... That's a bit of a serious word! Why did you even pop up the words "are you a person"? How can she mention the money... You can't let others suspect that she is forcing others not to be a person, right?
Su Shen glanced at her, "Since Aunt Guo said so, don't mention the matter of wages, and you can make up for Aunt Guo and them from other aspects in the future." β
Meng Hao was right to think about it, so she didn't insist any longer.
Early the next morning, Meng Zhen took Su Shen and Guo Yang up the mountain again.
The three of them first went to the traps they dug before, and in the five traps, Guo Yang harvested a total of three hares and two pheasants, totaling more than 20 catties.
Because these five little guys are still alive, each of them can be sold for 30 wen a catty, so Guo Yang is equivalent to having at least 600 wen in his account.
With more than 600 wen a day, and a guaranteed minimum of 18 taels of silver a month, Guo Yang felt that he was afraid that he would not go to heaven every minute.
"Don't think too much, traps don't catch prey every day, after all, this method requires a certain amount of luck." Meng Hao saw through Guo Yang's automatic brain supplement at a glance, and without hesitation, she immediately poured a basin of cold water on the other party.
The small flame in Guo Yang's heart was extinguished, and he replied to Meng Zhen with some slump, "I know, don't worry, sister of the Meng family." β
Is she relieved? What does she have to worry about?
Meng Zhen felt a slight headache.
She hesitated for a moment, "Do you want to learn some boxing and kick kung fu from me?" β
Guo Yang was stunned.
Meng Zhen frowned, "It's okay if you don't want to, no matter what you think, you can be frank and say it directly." β
Guo Yang shook his head into a rattle, "No, I don't want to." IβI was so excited that I thought I had accidentally misheard. β
Meng Zhen: ...... At a young age, she doubted her ears, and she was afraid that she would not accept a stupid apprentice.
"Then you just want to learn martial arts from me?"
Guo Yang nodded like pounded garlic, "I think." The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship. β
Meng Zhen: ......
Before Meng Hao could react, the solid-eyed black boy had already fallen to his knees with a pop.
Then, in the stunned expressions of Meng Hao and Su Shen, he gave Meng Hao three knocks......
Meng Zhen: ...... I'm dripping that mother, I'm afraid it's not the rhythm of longevity.
She motioned to Su Shen to help her help Guo Yang up, "Actually, you don't have to, you don't have to kneel for me, and you don't have to kowtow, I'm very stressed by you like this..."
Guo Yang: ...... Isn't it all about worshipping? Why is the sister of the Meng family, uh, why doesn't Master Meng let him kneel and kowtow? Isn't she going to officially take him in?
Thinking about it like this, Guo Yang couldn't control his nervousness, he scratched his head, "That, master, master, do you want to take me as an apprentice?" β
Seeing his pitiful look of "Please don't nod", Meng Hao couldn't help but be amused and helpless.
She rubbed her eyebrows, "Okay, anyway, if you kneel and kowtow your head, I'll reluctantly accept you as a disciple." β
Su Shen glanced at her, then silently took two steps back, keeping a certain distance from Guo Yangβhe didn't want to be treated the same as Guo Yang, a stupid boy.
Meng Zhen was quite helpless - she didn't want Su Shen to give her a big gift to pay her a visit......
"You should go home today, and remember to restore the trap before going down. When you come to my house in the evening, I will ask Ah Shen to take you with you. β
Guo Yang sighed, "Then master, be careful yourself." β
Meng Zhen nodded and led Su Shen to the mountain together.
Not to mention, it's really good to be called "master".
She happily took Su Shen all the way up, and on the way, all the prey that could enter her eyes were basically hit by her with stones and put into the basket.
The only regret is probably that they finally ran into a wild deer, which was actually a doe with a big belly, although Meng Zhen was very reluctant, but in the end he was still not willing to be cruel to this doe.
So in the end, she and Su Shen only hunted two baskets of pheasants and hares.
The two went all the way down the mountain, and on the way, Meng Zhen picked some wild fruits, and Su Shen was very lucky to pick up two more nests of wild eggs.
"Let's go catch some fish later, otherwise today's income won't be worth our special trip to the Jufu Restaurant in town." Walking to the foot of the mountain, seeing that it was still early, Meng Zhen said to Su Shen.
Su Shen doesn't care, anyway, what Meng Hao is doing, he follows.
