Chapter XXIII

"Hey, here we go." Crisp laughter accompanied by a woman in a yellow dress came out of the back hall with a pot of tea.

Gu Qiu looked dignified, and when he arrived in the front hall, it seemed that the whole room was lit up.

Da Zhuang took the tea and thanked him, but his eyes were well-behaved, and he didn't dare to take a second look.

Songyu also laughed at him, and whispered in his ear: "I heard that your family is very powerful, why, now you have to look at others more and be sour, can you go back and latch the door for you?" ”

Da Zhuang was stunned when he heard this, imagining the scene where Tang Shui'er locked the door and didn't let him in, his cheeks gradually reddened, and he coughed lightly and said, "Shui'er, Shui'er she won't." ”

Songyu pointed at him with a deep smile on his face, and sighed in his heart, the last time Da Zhuang came, he mentioned that Tang Shui'er had never seen the other party show such an expression, it seems that the neighbors' rumors are really true.

Da Zhuang was afraid that he would say more inconsequential words, so he hurriedly took out the drawings from his arms: "Songyu, do you see this thing you can do?" ”

Songyu put down the wooden strip in his hand, patted the sticky sawdust, and then took the drawing.

When he opened it, Songyu's brows gradually frowned.

Da Zhuang looked at his expression, and thought that he couldn't do it, and suddenly became a little anxious: "What's wrong?" Hard to do? ”

"It's not difficult, except that the upper and lower planks are a little troublesome." He pointed to the planks on the wheel frame and the two hollowed-out circles on the drawings, and the planks on which the head was like to hold things, "The others are frames made of wooden strips, and the materials are also economical." ”

"But......" Songyu touched his chin and stopped talking, "Da Zhuang, where did you get the drawings from?" ”

Da Zhuang didn't know why, so he said honestly: "Shui Er painted it." ”

Song Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Tang Shui'er?!" ”

Da Zhuang was startled by his raised voice, and his face became panicked: "What, what's wrong?" ”

"Alas, don't be nervous, I just didn't expect your daughter-in-law to have such a hand, surprised." Brother Songyu hugged Da Zhuang's shoulders and patted him soothingly.

Da Zhuang glanced at him without a trace, and said in his heart, my daughter-in-law will have a lot, what is there to make a fuss about.

"Let me tell you, Tang Shui'er is not ordinary smart, look at it." He pointed to the joints of several shelves on the drawing, "Here, and here, they can all be disassembled, and they can be used as carriages, and when they are unloaded, they can be turned into ...... with only two wooden strips at the front and back."

Speaking of this, he suddenly broke off and asked Da Zhuang: "What are you doing this for?" ”

Da Zhuang thought about it, sooner or later he would be known by the people in the village about his business with Shui'er, Songyu was upright and tight-lipped, so it didn't hurt to tell him, so he hid the specific content, and only said that he wanted to sell some dim sum instead.

Songyu was silent for a long time after hearing this, he accepted the drawings and told Da Zhuang: "I see that there is a piece of iron on it, this thing is not easy to get, so if you can trust me, I will help you go to the blacksmith shop and ask, there happens to be one I know." ”

Da Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he thanked again and again: "That's really good, there is Lao Songyu." ”

Songyu waved his hand: "It's a small matter, alas, but I said, what are the two circles under the drawings going to put in?" ”

"This ......," Da Zhuang scratched his head, "Shui Er didn't tell me. ”

Hearing this, Songyu looked at him indescribably, come on, he won't bully honest people anymore.

After Da Zhuang left, Songyu immediately took out the drawings and sighed: "I didn't expect it, this painter should be so dimensional, how straightforward." ”

Songyu rubbed his hands, prepared other lists, and made this thing first.

Hehe, if he showed his father, he would be shocked.

Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang, I thought he was married to a broken tile, but I didn't expect it to be dusty glass, it's really lucky.

It's no wonder that the people in the village didn't suspect that Tang Shui'er suddenly became smarter, and the main example of this kind is not nothing.

For example, if someone suddenly falls into the water or falls off a cliff, and after experiencing nine deaths and a lifetime, his head suddenly opens up, and everyone says that it is God's blessing and blessing, and they don't think about demons and monsters.

Generally speaking, people in this era are still quite kind in their hearts, and they don't want to tie them up and burn them.

Songyu showed Li Zheng the drawings, and the father and son muttered in the room for a long time.

The next day, it was dawn, and Tang Shuier and Da Zhuang hurried to Changning County again.

Da Zhuang led the horse, Tang Shui'er had already been to Changning County twice, and this time he was familiar with the way, and went straight to the pork stall.

The owner of the pork seller was surnamed Lu, and when he saw Tang Shui'er coming, he hurriedly greeted: "Yo, the little lady is here again, what do you want to buy this time?" Look at the fine pork belly, freshly slaughtered this morning. ”

Tang Shui'er looked at the color of the pork, it was indeed very fresh: "Boss Lu, I won't buy pork belly today." ”

She pointed to the piece of fine meat that was attached to the front and back hooves: "Is the fine meat in this place cut down and sold?" ”

only bought fine meat, which made Boss Lu worried: "Little lady, you have cut all the meat, and there is not much left of the pig's trotters under me, which is not easy to sell." ”

Tang Shui'er thought about it, and she didn't embarrass the boss, so she said: "That's it, I want the remaining three hooves of yours." ”

Three, all of them?!

Ouch, big customer!

Boss Lu knew that Tang Shuier was generous in buying meat, but he didn't expect to be so generous, and he suddenly smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, in order to keep this big customer, Boss Lu didn't bring meat pain, and gave two catties of pork belly.

There is also a pair of large intestines on the desk, and Boss Lu also stuffed it into it and wrapped it together.

"The money is for you." Tang Shui'er paid the money, handed the meat to Da Zhuang and said, "Boss, I'll ask you about something." ”

Boss Lu slapped the silver tael and raised his eyebrows: "As long as I know, you can ask." ”

Tang Shui'er saw that there was no one left and right, so he lowered his voice and said, "Do you know where to buy beef?" ”

Beef?

In this era, cattle were more precious than people, and ordinary people could not kill cattle without permission, otherwise they would be punished.

When Boss Lu heard this, his eyes rolled around, and he leaned closer and said, "Little lady, I don't dare to say anything about others, but in this matter, you can be regarded as asking the right person, so let's go with me, and I'll take you over." ”

Tang Shui'er and Da Zhuang glanced at each other and smiled: "Then there is Boss Laolu." ”

Today, because Tang Shui'er bought most of the pigs, and there was not much meat left, he called his son to come over and watch the meat stall, and he and Tang Shui'er and his wife turned into the other side of the street.

Boss Lu walked ahead: "Actually, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the regulations on cattle killing have been changed, and my brother has a little relationship over there, so you can rest assured when you buy meat." ”

He pointed to his head, probably the relative who was on an errand in the government, so after the official notice came down, he picked up a bargain.
