Chapter 101: The Zhou Family

Yu Hai and Liu glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. For the Zhang family, who are bent on taking advantage, they are juniors after all, and if they have a tough attitude, they will definitely be yelled at by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to say that they are not filial. If the attitude is a little softer, I am afraid that they will be like locusts, and they will not let go.

"Li, what are you doing here again?" When the couple was at a loss, the voice of the old man appeared like a life-saving straw.

For this father-in-law, Li is still a little timid, she said weakly: "Dad, I came with my mother......"

Zhang interrupted her words, changed his smiling face, and said to the old man: "Old man, the second child is still filial, their family has a way to make money, and they want to pull us to make money together!" ”

When the old man heard this, he looked at Yu Hai with a little relief in his eyes, in addition to apology. This son has been filial since he was a child, and even if he catches a chickadee, he has to take it home and eat it with everyone. Even after starting a family, the money earned is never hidden, and all the money is handed over to the public school.

Alas, it was he who was sorry for this son and pushed him out of the house at such a difficult time. Fortunately, my son survived and his leg was saved......

Old Yu retracted his gaze, glared at Zhang, and said, "I also know the way you said to make money!" Wouldn't you just sell some side dishes and make a few loose money? Don't be eye-catching, the second family is now living on these money! ”

"What a few loose money? There is an income of dozens of dollars a day! More than you and the boss bring back every day! This is also a kindness from the second child, and everyone earns money together. His father, the third child will participate in the test of Rongxuan Academy in a few days, and if he passes, he will only be able to raise people in the future...... His family now lives and eats in the town, so he doesn't need money? Zhang began to talk about his youngest son again, and he often tried and failed.

Zhang's self-talk made Xiaocao's family speechless. Obviously, she forced them to teach her to make braised vegetables, but how did it get into her mouth, but it became their family's voluntariness?

Xiaocao is nothing, but Yu Hai, who has always been filial and soft-hearted, couldn't say no in front of his father. In the end, Xiao Cao hummed and made a copy of the seasoning package she used yesterday for Zhang's family, and asked her to figure it out by herself! However, she pretended to forget and did not tell the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law how to clean up the pig's head and large intestine.

At the dock bazaar, the pig's head and pig launch of the king's butcher's house, she was booked. Wang Butcher is a kind person, whoever makes money is earned, why sell it to others and end up dishonest? In this way, their supply of ingredients will not be interrupted, and business will continue as usual. As for who can make money...... Then do it yourself!

Let's say that Wednesday, Shao Zhou Zixu bought side dishes from Jiang Ji and went home directly, just in time for dinner.

The three rooms of the Zhou family were not separated, and they all gathered in the flower hall to eat. As soon as you enter the hall, the floor is paved with smooth marble tiles, the beams are painted with colorful decorations, and the gorgeous beauty palace lamps are hung.

On the right side of the flower hall, there is a mahogany multi-treasure grid, on which are placed the Guiguzi downhill vase of the previous dynasty, the cloisonne plum vase, the white jade double-rank ring long-necked bulging-belly vase, and a variety of well-preserved exquisite antiques.

On the left side is a red sandalwood edge inlaid jade 500 arhat interstitial, bright and beautiful, inlaid with jade gemstones, so luxurious that people can't take their eyes off.

The old lady and the old lady of the Zhou family sat in the middle of the first seat, and the boss of the Zhou family was on the right. The old lady of the Zhou family has three sons and two daughters. The eldest and second are all grandchildren. The boss is conservative in business, can only keep it, manage part of the family's business, and there is nothing wrong with no achievements.

The eldest of the Zhou family has two sons and a daughter, the eldest is a concubine, and although the youngest son is a concubine, he has no interest in doing business, and he is a veritable nerd who focuses on his studies. His eldest son, however, is an ambitious man who will always seize every opportunity to show himself to the old man. When he was a minor, he helped his father manage the shop, and it was well organized, and two shops received one-third more than before under his careful management.

He did a few things that the old man gave him, and he did them beautifully. The old man was very satisfied with him.

The second child died young, and the old lady asked the eldest to pick two rooms on his shoulders, and hired Miss Punzhi of a declining family as his wife for his eldest son, who had already married a wife. gave birth to Wednesday Shao, a descendant of the second room of the Zhou family. Wednesday's mother is also fierce, after giving birth to her son, she positioned herself as the surviving person in the second room, cut off all contact with the boss of the Zhou family, and lived alone in the small courtyard to the west of the Zhou house. Except for the fifteenth day of the new year, he went to incense the second child of the Zhou family, and the rest of the time he stayed at home. This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Zixu's mother and son are valued by Mrs. Zhou despite their embarrassing identities.

The third child of the Zhou family is a person who can only eat, drink and have fun, and he is not up to the task. The boss acted timidly and had little courage. Old Man Zhou had to pick up the burden of the Zhou family again in the year of the sixtieth year. The son's generation can't be counted on, and the old man can only silently observe a few grandchildren, hoping to elect the next head of the family who can continue the glory of the Zhou family.

Zhou Zifang, the old family, although his ability is good, although his ability is good, he is a concubine after all. Since ancient times, there are differences, plus the temperament is a little impatient, and there is a suspicion of being aggressive. Greed for merit can often ruin the family's business. Therefore, while the old man was investigating, he still made some discounts in his heart.

Zhou Zixu, the second eldest family, has shown amazing talent since he was a child. Although I have fought a few beautiful battles recently, I am too young after all. It really made him turn white......

"Hah! I'm pretty lucky, just in time for dinner! On Wednesday, Shao Zhou Zixu came in with two cans of pickles, saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and smiled and greeted his grandfather and grandmother.

Old lady Zhou snorted coldly and said, "I still know to come back!" I don't see anyone running every day, and I don't know how busy you are on Wednesday! You, except for Zhen Yulou, I haven't seen you touch the business at home. By the way, what happened to Zhang Luode about the seasoning workshop you talked about a year ago? When your father was your age, he had already stirred up business in the five southern provinces! ”

Zhou Zixu was embarrassed by his identity and was afraid of being treated slowly by others, so he was raised by the old lady since he was a child, and the relationship between his grandfather and grandson has always been good, which made other grandchildren envious. When the old lady kept a straight face, the other grandsons were silent, and even Zhou Dashao had to consider one or two before speaking. And he said with a hippie smile:

"Grandfather, isn't there still you in the family's business? You are old and strong, and it is boring to be idle at home. As for my workshop, don't you always say that it is for me to practice? I'm still young, and I have to do business little by little! ”

"Thirteen is still young? The age at which you can get married! Second daughter-in-law, you should also start to help him pay attention, he will become an adult when he is engaged, it is time to give him something serious to do, and save himself from running around without sticking to his home! Old lady Zhou was extremely dissatisfied with him, and couldn't wait to press his head and teach him what the students wanted.

The second lady, Jiang Shi, responded gently. Zhou Zixu grinned at his mother and said, "Grandfather, how do you know that I don't care about business?" I didn't run around either, wasn't it at the dock last time, and I found a bad fish that tasted very good? ”

It's okay not to mention this stubble, Old Man Zhou couldn't help frowning, and said, "The cook of Zhenfang Building, haven't you figured out how to make bad fish?" She still boasts that she is a famous chef in the world, but she is not as good as a country girl! ”

"Grandfather's anger is not that the chef of Zhenfang Mansion is vain, but that his cooking skills are the same, and he misses the slightest mistake for thousands of miles. That bad fish is probably a unique secret recipe worn by people's ancestors, and it is not so easy to imitate. The eldest grandson, Zhou Zifang, persuaded very obediently.

Zhou Zixu also echoed: "Yes, yes!" Wait, if I really can't do it, I'll go on another trip and buy the recipe for the bad fish from the little girl. ”

Mrs. Zhou felt sorry for her grandson, nodded and said, "What Xu'er said is true!" Don't talk about business at the family banquet, let's eat......"

Zhou Zixu hurriedly patted the pickle jar in his hand as if offering a treasure, and came to his grandmother like a treasure, squeezing his eyebrows and saying: "Grandma feels sorry for her grandson the most!" My grandson also feels sorry for you, knowing that you have a bad appetite these days, so he specially bought an appetizer himself. Try it, my grandson has been holding it all the way! ”

Mrs. Zhou looked at her grandson's smiling face, and her mood was much more relaxed, like when she was a child, she gently stroked his head and said, "It's still our Xu'er filial piety." Qinglian, go to the kitchen and mix the side dishes, let's try it together. ”

Zhou Zixu's second wife, Jiang Shi, glared at her son dotingly, and said angrily: "You praised Haikou in front of the old lady, and it won't be your appetite later, see how you end!" ”

Zhou Zixu sat down under his mother's head, hugged her arm coquettishly, and shook it: "Mother, forget about others, you have to help your son fill his face, no matter how bad it is, taste a few more bites!" ”

Mrs. Zhou pointed at him and said with a smile: "You monkey cub...... Just for your filial piety, grandmother will also help you make face, eat a few more bites......"

A plate of sweet and crispy radishes, a plate of spicy wine beans, put in a crystal vessel, seasoned with sesame oil, arranged into a delicate pattern and brought up, the sweet and sour taste came to the nose, making people have a great appetite at a glance.

Mrs. Zhou's eldest girl, Zitang, used ivory chopsticks to help her sandwich a piece of dried radish and put it in a porridge bowl. The fragrant porridge made of fine fragrant rice is carefully boiled, accompanied by sweet, crispy and slightly spicy crispy radish, and the taste after the entrance makes the old lady's eyes light up.

"How? Grandma, how does it taste? Among the grandchildren, Zhou Zixu affectionately called the old lady "grandma", and the others were restrained and called "grandmother".

Mrs. Zhou chewed carefully, savoring the different taste brought by the porridge and sweet and crispy radish. After a long time, in the expectant eyes of his grandson, he slowly nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad!" Our family's Xu Er's vision, can grandma still not believe it? ”
