Chapter 114: Ding Ziyao
Some familiar voices fell into Shen Wan'er's ears, and she looked sideways to see that it was the man she had just met in the bookstore.
Shen Zhao'er came back to her senses, bowed her head slightly, and blessed him, "Is Childe also here to buy things?" β
"This is my shop, what do the two girls want to buy, I can help find it below."
Originally, Shen Zhao'er wanted to be polite, but Shen Wan'er said directly: "Star anise, bay leaf ......" She reported a long list of names, and said with a smile: "There is Lao Gongzi." β
As if he didn't expect Shen Wan'er to be so polite, the man paused for a moment, and bowed his head like a stream, "It's all here, the girl needs to take as much as she wants, and she will come here to weigh it in a while." β
Shen Wan'er bowed her head, brought a small basket from not far away, and put the required amount into it.
"There is labor."
Seeing that Shen Zhao'er had been peeking at this man, Shen Wan'er lowered her head and thought for a while, "It's also fate to meet Gongzi twice a day, and I don't know Gongzi's name." β
Shen Wan'er's style can be regarded as enthusiastic and unrestrained in this world, and it is a little rude to say something ugly, Shen Zhao'er's face was a little pale, and she gently pulled her to restrain her.
But even so, the curiosity on Shen Wan'er's face did not subside at all.
If this person is really a good match and has some interest in Shen Zhao'er, then he will not be stingy with a name.
"Under the surname Ding, the name is Ziyao."
Ding Ziyao glanced at Shen Zhao'er deeply, and he knew it in his heart.
Before Shen Zhao'er could speak, he said directly: "In order to avoid suspicion, I won't ask the names of the two girls." β
Although he said so, he looked at Shen Zhao'er with a little regret in his eyes, as if it was a pity that Shen Wan'er was also here and couldn't be alone with her.
Seeing the eyebrows of the two, Shen Wan'er felt a little funny in her heart, just after they met, they had eyebrows and flirtatious?
"Thank you Gongzi Ding for your compassion, please take care of the money in this matter." Shen Wan'er took out thirty yuan from her arms and handed it to Ding Ziyao.
"When I first saw the girl, I lost my courtesy, and this money is just that, and these things can be regarded as apologies to the girl." Ding Ziyao waved his hand and pushed the copper plate back, although he said it to Shen Wan'er, his eyes were on Shen Zhao'er's body.
Why was Shen Zhao'er seen by a man like this? Her pretty face turned rosy all of a sudden, and she lowered her head slightly, and her voice was as small as a mosquito fly, "How embarrassing is this......"
"We met Gongzi Pingshui, Ding Gongzi's family opened to do business, where is the reason to sell things without cashiering? The copper plate was placed here, and the son was asked to take it himself. β
The relationship between the two made Shen Wan'er clear in her heart, and Yu Guang glanced at her, turned her head and left first.
Shen Zhao'er glanced at Ding Ziyao and whispered: "Little girl Shen Zhao'er, thank you for your kindness." β
"Sister, go back soon."
Standing at the gate and waiting for a while without seeing Shen Zhao'er come out, Shen Wan'er frowned and was anxious, and called loudly.
After taking a deep look at Ding Ziyao, Shen Zhao'er left directly.
"What are you yelling at like that, where do you look like a girl?" Shen Zhao'er hurried to Shen Wan'er's side and reprimanded in a low voice.
Knowing that it was unruly to speak loudly on the street, Shen Wan'er shrugged her shoulders and didn't care, "What did Fang Cai Ding Gongzi say to his sister?" β
Shen Wan'er's eyes were a little curious, and her heart was full of gossip.
She looked at Shen Zhao'er as if she had fallen in love with that Ding Ziyao at first sight, and she didn't know if that person had a wife or a fiancΓ©e.
"I didn't say anything, I just asked him to take the money and not to excuse himself, where did you think?"
Shen Zhao'er's face was a little ashamed, and she glanced at Shen Wan'er lightly, her eyes seemed to be a little unhappy, but Shen Wan'er was extremely happy when she saw it.
Shen Wan'er probably understood her thoughts, but Shen Zhao'er was just a teenage girl after all, and her skin was very thin, so she couldn't open her mouth to say it now, so she didn't have to wait for a while Shen Zhao'er was annoyed, and she refused to see Ding Ziyao again.
Shen Wan'er deliberately glanced at her, and sighed softly: "I don't know what kind of person this Ding Gongzi is, if he is a hypocrite, it would be a pity." β
I can't see anything else now, but Ding Ziyao's appearance is very good, his facial features are upright and full of books, and his character should not be much worse, Shen Wan'er thought that if she could, Shen Zhao'er would have something to rely on.
Ding Ziyao sent Shen Zhao'er sisters out, and his eyes kept looking straight over there.
A woman came out of it, and when she saw him like this, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Yao'er, what are you looking at?" Call you several times and respond to each one. β
"Mother." Ding Ziyao came back to his senses and bowed respectfully to his mother.
Ding Mu bowed slightly, "What are you looking at?" Inside, I heard as if a guest was coming. β
"There are two girls who have come to buy spices, and the son has already entertained them, so I don't have to bother my mother." Ding Ziyao bowed slightly and replied truthfully.
"Two girls, ......" Ding's mother glanced at him meaningfully, originally puzzled, Ding Ziyao didn't have such a deception on weekdays, why is this now, if it is two girls, it is understandable.
Ding's mother Shi Shiran sat down behind the counter and looked at Ding Ziyao, "You are not young anymore, it should be time to marry, I don't know if there is a candidate in your heart?" β
Somehow, Ding Ziyao's heart was flooded with Shen Zhao'er's appearance when he heard this, and when he thought that his mother was still in front of him, he immediately returned to his senses and said respectfully: "Everything is arranged by my mother." β
"You also know those two girls, right? I don't know what my surname is, and where does my family live? Can you allow someone? β
Ding's mother didn't take her son's words to heart, but asked directly.
Speaking of which, Ding Ziyao also understood his mother's thoughts, and his fair face was a little red, "Mother, my son and those two girls are just one side, they seem to have moved to the city new." β
In other words, people who are not familiar with each other naturally can't talk about knowing so clearly.
What is her son like, Ding's mother is clear in her heart, and she is not in a hurry to get such an answer, "Since it is a new move to the city, it shouldn't be too far to go out to buy spices, and it can be regarded as our neighbor if you calculate it carefully......"
Recently, the Shen family is the only family with children who have children in the family, and Ding's mother thinks that the girl her son has just seen should be the Shen family.
Although I don't know what the Shen family does, it should be considered a solid family, and it should be good if he marries his daughter.
"Go back and go to the Shen family to walk around, and help you inquire if the girl of the Shen family has allowed others." Ding's mother took her son's hand and patted it gently, "You have never shown affection to any girl, and now it is easy to think about one, if there is no Xu family, mother will definitely marry you back." β
"Mother!" Ding Ziyao's face was about to turn red, "It's just a one-sided relationship, it's not close, mother don't talk about it, it's not good to ruin people's reputation!" β
"Okay, okay, mother won't talk about it."
The more Ding Ziyao showed his protection of the Shen family's girl, the happier Ding's mother became.
He has always been reluctant to get married, originally Ding's mother was still very worried, but now it is easy to have a woman who has a good impression, and she naturally can't let it go.
As long as the girl of the Shen family is not too bad, Ding's mother plans to marry him back.
The Shen Zhao'er sisters didn't know anything about this, and when they returned home, they began to cook mutton neatly, first cutting out two catties to eat at night, and cutting the rest into small pieces to make jerky, even if it was a snack, it was good.
The smell of spices mixed with meat wafted out, and many people who passed by the Shen family's small courtyard stopped and greedily inhaled the fragrance in the air.
Hu Yueyue and Shen Da met outside and came back together, and when they entered the door, they smelled this strange fragrance, and sighed with satisfaction.
The two went straight into the kitchen, and saw that the sisters were cooperating to make jerky, and Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang were watching from the side, just waiting for the jerky to come out and grab a piece to taste.
The process in the early stage of making mutton jerky is more troublesome than beef, after all, the smell must be removed first, and after the smell is removed, the meat is also cooked, seeing that Shen Da and Hu Yueyue are back, Shen Wan'er took out a few pairs of chopsticks and a small plate from the cabinet next to her, and fished out a few pieces of meat from the pot for one person to taste.
"How does it taste? But what's wrong? β
Shen Wan'er made it according to her own taste, she ate it to her heart's content, I don't know if it meets the appetite of others, she looked at Hu Yueyue and Shen Zhao'er expectantly, and wanted them to give an evaluation.
It's not that Shen Wan'er doesn't want Shen Da and the two little ones to evaluate, just look at the way they eat, you know that this is a swallowing of dates, where can we talk about any improvements?
"I'm eating so well that there's nothing to adjust." Shen Da waved his hand and replied directly.
Shen Wan'er has a strong taste, so the jerky she makes is also salty and fragrant, the more she eats, the more she wants to eat, the more she eats, the more delicious it is, very appetizing, Shen Da feels that it is not to mention how good it is.
If it weren't too much, Shen Da even wanted Shen Wan'er to come out of the pot like this, don't do any jerky, and the family would finish eating it in one meal.
But when he saw a whole pot full of meat, he couldn't help but feel a little stupid in his heart, and finally swallowed the words back.
"That'll do." Shen Wan'er carefully spread the meat slices with a bamboo basket of drying chili peppers, put them on a high place and put dried chili peppers on the bottom, so that there can be a little fragrance of chili peppers, and turned back to Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang and instructed: "These are all dried to eat, don't eat them all for me!" β
The house is full of adults, Shen Wan'er is not very worried that Shen Da, Hu Yueyue and Shen Zhao'er will not be able to hold their mouths, but Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang are still young after all, especially Da Zhuang is the age when they can eat, she is afraid that she will be eaten by Da Zhuang before she gets it ready.
The two brothers did have this careful thinking before, looking at so many pieces of jerky, even if they ate one or two slices, they should not be able to find out.
