Chapter Twenty-Five: It's for Two

"There must be a gang, otherwise where will we brothers eat." Sun Zhutou preemptively answered.

It was the first time he had seen this lady.

After today's experience, the worship of Mrs. Taishou is like a river. The more I looked, the more I realized that she was not as vicious as rumored, and it seemed that she was just white water over green vegetables-

Clear.

Moreover, it is obvious that this Taishou Master is also very good to Mrs. Taishou. Sun Zhutou couldn't help but secretly scold the previous rumors that Mrs. Taishou did not abide by women's morals and was ruthless, and the people were all grandsons!

"Also, the yamen doesn't care about the food, who is still doing it here." Chang Le nodded in agreement.

It happened that Liu San came back with water.

Chang Le washed his hands carefully, turned around and picked up his chopsticks, put the two bowls of laba porridge in front of him, and sat down very satisfied to prepare to eat.

Seeing this, the other three were stunned for a moment.

Zhang Changxiu's face was cloudy, and reason told him that it was best not to open his mouth at this time, so as not to embarrass each other.

Master He was about to make a reminder, but the Taishou didn't speak, so he held back the words that came to his mouth.

"Madam, why are you going to eat alone? I haven't eaten it yet. ”

Only Sun Zhutou was straightforward and quick-hearted, pointed out the problem directly, and liked Chang Le a little more.

This Mrs. Taishou, who looks stupid, where does she look like someone who can bully someone?

Moreover, these illiterate people are simpler than those who read, especially the peasant families, who are even more simple.

Speaking of which, when outsiders spread rumors with the ideology that "Mrs. Taishou is a peasant girl, not worthy of Taishou, this champion talent". Sun Zhutou, who is also illiterate in big characters, stands on Chang Le's side with scorn whenever he hears this kind of words.

Sun Zhutou pierced this layer of window paper and directly asked Zhang Changxiu to stand on the top of the awkward mountain.

Zhang Changxiu coughed and sat down on the chair prepared by Sun Zhutou, opposite Chang Le.

Chang Le bit his chopsticks, glanced at Laba porridge, and wondered: "This is for two people?" ”

Zhang Changxiu gritted his back molars.

Dare she can't see it?

"Ouch, it seems that Madame has a lot of food. Master, you wait, my grandson will find Aunt Hao to get a bowl again. ”

Sun Zhutou greeted warmly, inadvertently enlivening the atmosphere, not so embarrassed.

But as soon as his voice disappeared, the atmosphere was even more indescribable than before he spoke, and the person concerned didn't notice anything wrong at all, and kindly asked Chang Le before leaving.

"Madam, are two bowls enough? Do you want to be brought bowls again? Do you still add vegetables? Aunt Hao'er is fast! ”

Faced with the fatal triple question, Chang Le's face was hot for a while, and the sense of shame and indignation was not much less than that of Zhang Changxiu. But people are kind-hearted bears, even if they stone you to death, you can't point to his nose and beat him up.

Hearing Zhang Changxiu's gloating chuckle, she showed an embarrassed but polite smile: "Thank you Sun Tou, don't bother." I don't think I can eat two bowls, and one bowl for me and Taishou is just right. ”

Looking at the bowl pushed over on the opposite side, Zhang Changxiu didn't pick up the stubble, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Taishou has worked hard for so long, she can't be wronged." Sun Tou, you can go to the kitchen and get some more. The official only needs one bowl, you add another bowl to the lady, and add a dish by the way. ”

"Hey, that's good!" Sun Zhutou responded excitedly, and smiled at Chang Le before leaving, "I've worked hard for so long, I really have to fill my stomach and treat myself." It's a matter of course, what is the lady still shy about. Madame rest assured, my grandson will not say that Madame eats three bowls in one meal! ”

Smack!

The chopsticks in Chang Le's hand fell on the table, flicked twice and rolled to the ground.

Sun Zhutou was about to arrive at the door, and when he heard a voice, he turned his head: "Fortunately, my old grandson walked slowly." Madame wait, I'll go get a pair of chopsticks again! ”

Master He really couldn't listen to it anymore, and hurriedly urged people to catch up: "Old grandson, you go quickly!" ”

"Oh, don't rush, don't rush, why are you more anxious than my grandson every day? Can't a reader be calm? Sun Zhutou muttered twice, held the handle of the knife in his hand, and strode out.

The world is finally at peace.

All three breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madame, don't mind, Sun Zhutou has always been outspoken." Master He picked up the chopsticks on the ground, put them on the table, and comforted him with a smile.

Chang Le touched his nose and laughed twice: "It's good, it's good." Well, let's eat it first. ”

"Madame eat first, I don't know if Sun Tou's speed is as fast as Madame's." Zhang Chang leaned back in his chair and sneered unceremoniously.

Changle moved his mouth, touched the chopsticks in his hand, and held it in his hand hatefully. At this time, if she had internal strength, she would definitely break Zhang Changxiu into several knots like chopsticks.

Don't you know that the amount of food and weight are the two biggest taboos of ladies?

There was a sword and sword shadow in his mind, and Zhang Changxiu had been cut into pieces, and he finally felt a lot better. Only then did he slowly pick up the chopsticks, reached out and scooped back the laba porridge in front of him, pulled the corners of his mouth, and showed a standard smile.

"I'm sorry, I'll eat first."

"Madame is still waiting for Sun Tou to come back and change a pair of chopsticks." Master He reminded in time.

Chang Le took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it: "It's okay, it's okay to eat it cleanly." ”

She was indeed hungry and couldn't wait.

Zhang Changxiu clasped his arms in his hands and pulled out a book from the garbage heap that Sun Zhutou "organized". Regardless of the content, it began to look at it calmly.

In the book are the witness statements recorded by Master He.

His gaze went back and forth between the words of the five witnesses.

When he was in his study this afternoon, he had a discussion about the portraits drawn by Chang Le.

Obviously, this person is not a common man of the Great Clan Dynasty, and it can be seen from the eyebrow bones and eyes that he is roughly a native of the neighboring country - Yuguo.

Yuguo suddenly appeared in the thirteen counties, and also committed theft, there must be a cat in it. He had to hurry up and find Thorn Shi to explain the situation.

Thinking of this astonishing discovery, he was almost hidden because of the poor level of the painter, and he was furious. On the contrary, he was even more impressed with Chang Le.

I couldn't help but slowly move the book down, just enough to let my eyes fall on Chang Le. She was eating happily, and sure enough, one bowl was already in her stomach, and she began to eat the second bowl.

Such a relishing appearance made his stomach rumble a little.

"Coo-goo-goo".

My stomach did sound very cooperatively.

Chang Le raised his head when he heard the sound, met his gaze, and saw that he immediately looked back at the writing, and quickly chewed the pickled radish in his mouth and swallowed it twice.

"What's the matter, Master Taishou is hungry?"

As she spoke, she deliberately pinched the chopsticks and cabbage, pretending to show her expectation of the food, stuffing it into her mouth in one bite and making slow movements of satisfaction.

"Don't worry, Sun Tou is coming back soon."

Zhang Changxiu glanced at her, unhappily sorted out the books that were not messed up at all, turned to the side, and continued to turn back seriously.

Why hasn't the old grandson come back yet!

He should be asked to bring back the porridge first, and then go and wait for the food.

Master He stood aside, like a wooden stake. The eyes look at the nose, and the nose looks at the heart. I don't know if Taishou is using the transcript to cover up my boredom, but I still want to say the last sentence.

Sir, this is a new booklet, just a few pages.

No matter how much you turn back, you won't be able to find the flowers.

"My grandson is back!"

A sound sounded like a firecracker blowing up the sky.

Everyone knows that it was Sun Zhutou who came back.

Zhang Changxiu relaxed, closed the white book, and gently put it aside.

The notebook was crushed to the top of the garbage heap and became the brightest star.

Master He stretched out his hand and silently took it into his arms. lest he be destroyed by the old grandson after a while, and then he will have to copy it again.

"Master, madam, I said that Aunt Hao is fast, didn't you deceive people?"

Sun Zhutou ran into the house as if boasting, put the food box on the ground, bent over, and took it out with quick movements.

"Thinking that Mrs. might think the food was too light, I deliberately asked Aunt Hao to hurry up and get a plate of fatty meat. Madame, try it! ”

Chang Le faced Sun Zhutou's enthusiasm, and his eyes moved with the plate of vegetarian fried fatty meat.

It's really a real game.

The oil is shiny, and it looks greasy!

Zhang Changxiu held back a smile until his brows furrowed, and with a calm expression, he took his share of laba porridge from the side, and ate it with cabbage pickled radish. His ears were quietly erected, and his afterglow swept on Chang Le's face from time to time, sitting and watching a good show.

"Old grandson, why did you get a plate of fat? If you eat it at this time, it is easy to hurt your stomach. Master He reminded very tactfully, and by the way, he gave Chang Le a step down.

Sun Zhutou immediately glared at Master He and said, "He Huzi, what you said is embarrassing?" Who eats this fatty meat three times a day? It is also specially fattened, and nothing else is allowed to be mixed. At this time, I told me that it hurt my stomach, and I didn't see any problems with your stomach. ”

"Old grandson!"

Master He was suddenly betrayed, and the only hobby that did not match his identity as a scholar was pulled out and said, which made his face hot for a while, ashamed and annoyed.

Sun Zhutou ignored him, turned to Chang Le and said, "Madam, don't listen to his nonsense, if you feel tired, this pickled vegetables and laba porridge are just right to relieve your greasy." Madam, it took three days for the Yamen to cook meat, but we took out the highest food in the Yamen. It would be a waste if you didn't try it! ”

Chang Le couldn't cry or laugh when Sun Zhutou said, and by the way, he was so miserable that he wanted to cry.

"I didn't expect that Master Taishou would abuse you so much. However, didn't you just say that Master He has to eat meat three times a day? ”

"Aunt Hao doesn't do it, he will bring it himself. People have money! Sun Zhutou waved his hand, as if he was encouraged to look at Zhang Changxiu, "Master, Mrs. said that the food in the yamen is poor." Look, do you want to be nice to your brothers? ”

Zhang Changxiu raised his eyebrows: "Yes." ”

Sun Zhutou was overjoyed.

Master He's old fox eyes also turned, glowing brightly.

"All expenses will be deducted from your monthly salary. As long as you have enough monthly money, tell Aunt Hao directly how you want to eat. Zhang Changxiu raised his brows indifferently.

Sun Zhutou's face instantly drooped.

Master He's eyes also turned back, and his face was blank.

Chang Le sighed secretly, but became interested in Master He: "Master He, your monthly salary should be about the same, and it won't be too high, how did you manage to eat meat at once?" Don't you have any business experience? ”

Civil servants are iron rice bowls, and their salaries are fixed, but the level still depends on the stage.

The actual annual income of this ancient official is actually not high, and most of the money he earns is entirely because of other excuses. The subordinates of the government are all self-established by the yamen, and the yamen pays for their own work, so the monthly salaries of these subordinates are even higher. It's basically about contributing to the country.
