Chapter Twenty-Three: The Trial
Zhou Jingxuan replied coldly: "What are you looking for us to do?" ”
Yuan Yuhan didn't mind his good friend's reaction, but hurriedly took out a money bag from his sleeve, saying that it was his own private money: "My family is also poor, and I really can't help you." I only saved this bit of broken silver, which can barely send two meals, and I will give it to you, I hope you don't dislike it. ”
He stuffed the silver into Zhou Jingxuan's hand: "I ran out secretly!" My dad doesn't know yet. We have to go back now, and we'll talk later. After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Jingxuan's reaction, he hurriedly ran away.
Zhou Jingxuan didn't expect Yuan Yuhan to still treat him as a friend, he handed over the silver to Shi Zhongzhu, and walked silently in the direction of Xingshan Hall.
After wandering outside for a few days, Zhou Jingxuan's master and servant finally had a place willing to take them in for them to settle down temporarily, and both of them had high temperaments.
When they pack up and come to see Boss Jia again.
Boss Jia asked the steak to move out a basket, which was mixed with soybeans and mung beans, and some dead branches and leaves were mixed in it.
Boss Jia told them to sort and clean them out before dinner.
It's a basket full of them! If you can't choose until tomorrow morning, isn't that bullying?
Zhou Jingxuan's temper came up, and he kicked on the basket with a flying kick.
Fortunately, Shi Zhongzhu helped quickly, otherwise the basket of beans would have been scattered on the ground.
Boss Jia was beside him, his face turned pale with anger all of a sudden, and he pointed at Zhou Jingxuan and scolded: "Boy! Lao Tzu invited you to come, not to eat rice! If you don't want to do it, go out into the streets and be that lowly beggar!" ”
Shi Zhongzhu, who was looking down to pick up the beans that were kicked to the ground by Zhou Jingxuan, shook his hand involuntarily a few times when he heard this, but he didn't look up.
I heard Zhou Jingxuan say: "Boss, being a beggar is not cheap, people stealing and robbing are cheap!" ”
"You, you kid still dare to talk back!" Boss Jia was so angry that his beard trembled: "Lao Tzu asked you, you said that he is a good young man, he has hands and feet, why is it bad?" Is it glorious, just like a pug, wagging his tail and begging at others, just to get a mouthful of food?
Lao Tzu tells you that this beggar is not as good as a thief! ”
What kind of logic is this?
Zhou Jingxuan was just about to refute, Shi Zhongzhu had already gotten up and pulled him, and then apologized to Boss Jia: "Boss, please stop being angry!" This is the first time for my son-in-law to do something, and I ask the boss for forgiveness for the recklessness! Zhongzhu is here to give the boss for my son-in-law! ”
"You, you!" Boss Jia glared at Shi Zhongzhu with hatred, and then pulled over the steak and shouted at Zhou Jingxuan: "You know that the steak is younger than you on the first day!" But the family cleaned up a basket of beans by himself, clean and good! Which one is like you? ”
The steak smiled embarrassedly, then squatted down and went to help Shi Zhongzhu pick up the beans.
"Steak! What are you doing? Boss Jia shouted.
Steak hurriedly got up, and listened to Boss Jia scold: "In the future, you are not allowed to meddle in their affairs, just follow me honestly!" ”
"Yes!" The steak hurriedly lowered his head and responded respectfully, then looked at Shi Zhongzhu's back, touched the back of his head and laughed again.
Boss Jia turned to Zhou Jingxuan: "What are you doing in a daze?" Get done! ”
Zhou Jingxuan was about to speak, when he felt someone pull his gray cloth robe.
He looked down and saw Shi Zhongzhu squatting on the ground, looking at him with a pleading gaze.
Thinking about the days of turbulence and displacement in the past few days, Zhou Jingxuan had no choice but to swallow the evil breath in his heart, squatted down and honestly picked up the beans scattered on the ground.
After the two of them picked up all the beans on the ground into the basket, Shi Zhongzhu immediately asked Boss Jia for a dustpan and a fine-hole bamboo sieve.
He first used a dustpan to clean out all the debris in the beans, and then sifted the beans with a bamboo sieve.
After a fine-pored bamboo sieve, the large soybean particles are left in the sieve, and the small and round mung beans are sieved to the outside.
Half an hour later, Shi Zhongzhu completely separated the two beans. The steaks looked at their masterpiece and didn't close their gaping mouths for half a day: Oh my God? Back then, I chose one day to finish, and the impurities were not removed at all.
That's it, my fingers were swollen like buns that day, and I couldn't even pick up chopsticks. Although these two people are doing things fast today, they are too fast, right?
Boss Jia showed a happy gaze, but his face was not obvious, but he just spit out two words lightly: "Not bad." ”
Zhou Jingxuan's fists clenched, and Shi Zhongzhu on the side hurriedly held his hand quietly, signaling him not to be impulsive.
"Boss, what are we going to do next?"
In the face of Shi Zhongzhu's inquiry, Boss Jia was very satisfied, he handed over a piece of paper, pointed to the large pear wood cabinet in the store, and ordered: "Go and grab the medicine according to the prescription, and pound it into powder if it should be powdered!" ”
"Yes!" Shi Zhongzhu also learned the appearance of steak and gave Boss Jia a gift.
He patiently adjusted the amount according to the amount on the prescription.
When the required amount is ready, and the pungent smell of the herb is endured, the medicinal powder is ready, and it is wrapped in oily paper.
Shi Zhongzhu knew that this was the prescription that Boss Jia wrote casually to test him. But he still asked Zhou Jingxuan to mark the name of the medicine and their amount on each medicinal material in small letters.
Boss Jia is very satisfied with this, and it should be said that he is very satisfied with Shi Zhongzhu's carefulness.
When they were done, it was already time for dinner, when they saw the short and fat proprietress come out and beckon everyone to come in for dinner.
Boss Jia waved his hand again and again: "Don't worry, it's not dark yet!" Let them put away the herbs in the yard and go to dinner. ”
Zhou Jingxuan had never been detained, and he had been doing things for so long, so he whispered when he heard the words: "Boss, why don't you come and clean up the medicinal materials after eating?" We can just take a break. ”
"What's the matter, you're tired after only half a day?" Boss Jia asked angrily, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry on his face.
Zhou Jingxuan was very sincere: "Yes! ”
Boss Jia's face suddenly sank: "Do you think Boss Ben's food is so delicious?" Besides, don't you think that this boss doesn't know? You kid didn't do anything at all today, and Zhong Zhu did everything alone. ”
"You talk nonsense!" Zhou Jingxuan, who was wronged, was furious.
"Childe!" Shi Zhongzhu pulled Zhou Jingxuan, and then respectfully faced Boss Jia: "Boss, don't look at my son-in-law's young age and limited ability, but this method of dividing beans was figured out by my son-in-law."
Besides, my son-in-law is very serious about learning to do things, but he is just at the beginning, so he doesn't know much about some things, and his stamina is limited, so he asks the boss to bother. ”
"Oh? You said that the method of dividing beans was come up with by this kid? Boss Jia was puzzled.
"Yes," Shi Zhongzhu nodded: "Boss, you don't know my son-in-law, he just suffered the loss of age and strength, in fact, he is smart!" ”
