Shopkeeper Luo hurriedly smiled, "The second master laughed, this food is very labor-intensive, and there is a garlic sprout in the filling used in it, which is not easy to obtain." The entire Cuiluan City, no, exaggerated, the entire Snow Country is the first time I have seen it at the old lady's birthday banquet. ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, lowered their heads and tasted the taste of the dumplings again, and said with a smile at the end, "The spicy smell in this food is indeed something that I have never eaten before." ”

When the Zheng family heard it in their ears, they felt that there was light on their faces, so they beckoned everyone to continue eating and drinking, staggering, and laughing.

In this way, when Mrs. Zheng's birthday banquet ended successfully, the sun was already setting in the west. In addition to paying off the eight hundred taels of silver for the banquet, the second master Zheng who was extremely satisfied paid off paid an additional two hundred taels if he really spoke and counted, and a total of one thousand taels of silver tickets were handed over to the shopkeeper Luo.

Shopkeeper Luo sent the guests out, and he was so happy that he ran to the backyard study.

Dongzi was about to enter the door with tea, and when he saw the shopkeeper Luo's eyebrows dancing like this, he smiled and quipped, "The shopkeeper, but he made a fortune?" Reward the little dozens of taels to marry a daughter-in-law! ”

Shopkeeper Luo stretched out his hand and knocked him on a chestnut shot, and scolded with a smile, "What kind of daughter-in-law will you marry, a boy who hasn't grown any hair?" What about our son, but in the house? ”

Dongzi rubbed his head, stretched out his hand and pushed open the carved wooden door while responding, "Childe is checking the account book, Xu is also thinking about the things ahead, and he hasn't finished checking the book for a long time." ”

Shopkeeper Luo strode into the door, bypassing the large screen painted with the scenery of the four seasons, and saw that his master was really leaning on the circle chair, slowly checking the account book, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted the good news, "Congratulations to the son, congratulations to the son, our restaurant will be rich in the future!" There is no one in this green mountain city who can ride on our heads. ”

Fang Jie put down the wolf pen in his hand, his face was also happy, and he smiled, "What, the Zheng family is very satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, one hundred and twenty satisfied." Shopkeeper Luo put a small stack of silver tickets on the table with both hands, and said with a smile, "Second Master Zheng also gave me an extra two hundred taels of silver, and when he left, he asked me to leave some fresh vegetables, and he will have a banquet for his classmates tomorrow." ”

Fang Jie glanced at the silver ticket, picked up a hundred taels and handed it back, "Everyone in the building has worked hard, you can take this silver and distribute it to everyone." In the future, I am afraid that it will be full every day, so let them serve more attentively. If you do a good job, your salary will be doubled at the end of the month. ”

"Thank you, master, for the reward." The old shopkeeper took it over happily, and asked tentatively after thinking about the few fresh vegetables left in the east wing, "Master, are you going to go to Sister-in-law Zhang to get vegetables in advance?" When the guests heard the news, they were afraid that they would order a plate of vegetables to taste fresh, and if they couldn't get their wishes, they should have complaints. ”

Fang Jie waved his hand indifferently, "Fresh vegetables are rare in winter, if there are as many as in summer, no one will be rare." ”

Shopkeeper Luo had a bitter face and rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Son, if some distinguished guests must order fresh vegetables, we are afraid that it will not be easy to offend." Also, I heard that Lord Sun was infected with a very heavy wind cold, and even today's birthday banquet was only given as a birthday gift. Shouldn't you send some fresh food too? And the second wife..."

Fang Jie frowned slightly, many trivial things made him irritable in his heart, and he inexplicably remembered the tranquility of the warm spring day, so he asked, "Are the yellow horses and sleds I asked you to prepare are all in order?" ”

Shopkeeper Luo didn't know why he suddenly asked about this, but he still replied, "It's ready, Childe can use it at any time." ”

"That's good, I'll go to Nangouer to pick up vegetables the day after tomorrow. You can look at the preparation there, if your aunt asks, she will say that I will see her another day. ”

As soon as the old shopkeeper heard this, he immediately stopped and said, "Childe, the wind and snow outside the city are too big, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, just let Dongzi take someone to pick up the food, why do you have to go in person?" This in case it freezes to death..."

Fang Jie couldn't say why he had to go in person, and he didn't think it clearly, so he made an excuse to send the nagging old shopkeeper down.

The old shopkeeper was dedicated to the mainstay, knowing that the master didn't like it and wanted to persuade him again, but Dongzi on the side stepped forward with a smile and pulled him out.

The old shopkeeper was very annoyed, stretched out his hand to knock Dongzi's head again, and scolded in a low voice, "You little rabbit cub, you know how to go out for a walk with your master." If the master is frostbitten, see how I clean you up. ”

Dongzi dodged the old shopkeeper's fingers, looked left and right at the corridor and saw that there was no one under the corridor, and then stepped forward and whispered, "Shopkeeper, you have wronged me with this." It's not that you don't know the temper of the son, and you can't change the things he has set, even if you persuade 10,000 words.

Besides, it's also a good thing for the master to go out and relax, haven't you seen the child's face much better than before these days? ”

The old shopkeeper frowned suspiciously, and there was some truth in thinking about it carefully, so he had to sigh and say, "That's it, as long as the master is happy, let him be." But you stinky boy can give me some care, and I'm ready for warm clothes. ”

"Yes, yes, old shopkeeper, you can rest assured. I've been serving my master for a few years, and I know what to expect. ”

The old shopkeeper reluctantly let go, took out a small silver coin of five taels from his purse and stuffed it into his hand and said, "This is yours, serve the master well!" ”

Dongzi grabbed the silver bill, his heart was bubbling with joy, and he made countless package tickets one after another, and finally sent the old shopkeeper away and went into the house to serve.

Fang Jie finished checking an account book, raised his eyes and saw his personal servant smirking at the wall with a feather duster, and couldn't help but quip, "How much reward did Shopkeeper Luo give you, why are you stupid like this?" ”

Dongzi heard the master's question, hurriedly stepped forward and poured hot tea and handed it over, and then said, "Shopkeeper Luo divided my five taels of silver!" If this continues, I will be able to marry a daughter-in-law next year. I'm going to buy Xiaohong a big appointment of twenty taels of silver, and marry her into the door in a beautiful way. ”

Fang Jie often heard him say Xiaohong's name, and knew that it was the daughter of the old gardener in the garden, who was a good girl. It's just that I don't know how this kid deceived the little girl, but he was happy to see it, so he said, "If you really become married, bring the little red tone to the inner courtyard." Save you from serving here all day long, and your heart will fly to the East Garden! ”

Dongzi made a fortune today and got the promise of his master, and he was so happy that he wanted to turn over a few times. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and shouted loudly, "Thank you, master, the little one must marry Xiaohong back earlier." ”

Fang Jie motioned for him to get up, slowly playing with the paperweight of the jade carved tiger head in his hand, but his eyes were looking at Duobao Pavilion.

Dongzi saw that the master's eyebrows were lightly raised, and he guessed that he must have something difficult, so he hurried forward to share his worries for the master, "Childe, but what is there to worry about?" It's better to talk about it, the little one might be able to think of a good idea for Childe. ”

"Hmm," Fang Jie came back to his senses, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and then said, "I'm going to Nangou Village the day after tomorrow, and I'm thinking about what to bring to the two children of the Zhang family." Pu Cao's temper, too valuable things will definitely not be accepted. ”

Who is Pucao? Dongzi was a little dazed when he heard the master call others like this, and finally remembered that this was Zhang's sister-in-law's maiden name, and his pair of small eyes grunted quickly, and he helped to come up with an idea and said, "Childe, if you can't send something valuable, it's better to send something practical." For example, dim sum and dried goods are loved by children. Otherwise, buy a few sets of study room four treasures. Those two children are at the age when they should start studying, and the sister-in-law's diary can also be used. ”

When Fang Jie heard this, his brows relaxed. Thinking of the appearance of Peach Blossom and Shanzi practicing calligraphy on the ground with branches on the ground that day, he couldn't help but praising his palms and praised, "This is a good idea, just buy the four treasures of the study, and buy some snacks and snacks." ”

Dongzi was greatly encouraged by the master's praise, and his mind turned quickly, and he had already calculated clearly in a moment, "The four treasures of the study room will buy Qingfeng Zhai, the inkstone there looks simple and durable, and the pen and ink are also good." Of course, the best is rice paper, which is white and tough. I heard that they recently made a new walnut crisp, which tastes the best..."

Fang Jie tapped his fingers on the table twice, stopped Dongzi's gushing words, and said with a smile, "Okay, I want to go out and go around when you say that." ”

"Oh, that boy, we're going to go out soon, and the shops should be closed in a while." Dongzi immediately cleverly went to get the stone blue satin gray squirrel skin cloak, waited for the master to wear it, and trotted to tell the shopkeeper Luo, and the master and servant opened the back door to go shopping.

After they had spoken for a while, it was already completely dark, but the large snowflakes had not stopped. The people on the side of the road may be having dinner, and there is no sound of people in the alley, and there is no indescribable tranquility.

The master and servant just turned around the corner when they saw a small sedan chair of the two coming from a distance, Dongzi's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the little maid waiting next to the sedan chair was very familiar, and immediately blocked the master and whispered, "Childe, it seems that there is a peony girl in the sedan chair." ”

Fang Jie was slightly stunned, then turned his hand and pulled him back two steps to avoid behind a willow tree. Soon, the sedan chair men creaked and stepped on the snow to pass, and Fang Jie frowned and turned out again.

Dongzi smiled and asked, "Miss Peony is afraid that she is here to find her son, so do we want to go back and have a look?" ”

Fang Jie didn't like the smile on his face, stretched out his hand to pat him, and said, "If you want to see him, what else do I avoid." Let's go. ”

Dongzi stuck out his tongue and sighed in his heart for the charming peony girl.

Speaking of which, in this green city, there are not a hundred or dozens of romantic talents, and there are even more rich sons everywhere. With the reputation of the peony girl, it is extremely easy to marry into the mansion and become a concubine. But she just fell in love with her son-in-law, not to mention the stack of invitations in the study, but today she actually came to the door in person. is willing to reduce her worth to such a point, she is afraid that she loves her own son very much...

Fang Jie took a few steps, and when he heard that the little guy hadn't followed, he turned around and called, "What's the wait, lead the way!" ”

At this time, he was standing in front of the gate of a courtyard, and the two wind lamps hanging high on the lintel shed an orange halo, illuminating the large snowflakes that slowly fell on him, making his figure more straight, and his eyebrows and eyes became more and more handsome...
