Eating at noon was like a war, Zhu Miao's saw the meat as if he saw silver, desperately put it in his bowl, and did not forget to help his son clamp it while eating. Fragrant', the meat was not chewed three times in the mouth, the meat of the chopsticks was already stuffed into the mouth, the oil on the lips flowed down the corners of the mouth, and the placket was dripping with oil everywhere, Zhu Song wiped his mouth directly with his sleeve when he saw this, and Yuqi almost spit it out, and since then she has seen the braised pork with shadows, and she can think of him every time she eats meat, which shows that this scene is deeply imprinted in her mind.

After lunch, Zhu Miao's hiccups and teeth twisted his waist and led the child away, followed by the eldest brother Zhu Liang, who walked out of the yard in a staggering manner, it seems that he is not drinking lightly, let's go, and he is about to take the remaining pheasant away, let Fan Dahe snatch it over, squint his eyes and grit his teeth and say: "This pheasant is what I used to honor my grandfather, you are not qualified to eat it." ”

Zhu Liang was stared at a lot more soberly by the cold eyes, and muttered: "Isn't it just a chicken?

Hum!

He leaned out of the yard and slammed the door casually.

After the meal, Fan Junjiang had a little meeting, drank water with his father-in-law, and said intimate words, and Zhu Yan in the kitchen knew that his father and mother were having a hard time when he saw what happened at noon today, and took out his purse, and there were more than two taels of silver in it, all of which were stuffed into his mother's hands.

"Yan'er, don't want this silver mother, as long as you two live well, it will be stronger than your mother has silver, you take it back and live a good life in Junjiang." The mother pushed the silver to Zhu Yan again, looked at her with relief, and said that she didn't want the silver.

Zhu Yan had tears in her eyes, she was very sad, she didn't take the purse, and said in a choked voice: "Mother, this is your daughter's filial piety to you, you can buy some food with your father for this bit of silver, don't treat yourself harshly, my family is much better now, Junjiang can also earn silver, you and your father don't have to worry about us." ”

"No, my mother can't ask for it, my mother and. ”

"Yan Niang!

Outside the kitchen, Fan Junjiang shouted softly towards the kitchen.

"Oh, here we are. Answered, turned back to his mother and said, "Mother, you can accept it." With that, he turned and walked out of the kitchen.

Fan Junjiang had already driven the ox cart out of the door at this time, Yu Jie, Yu Qi and Fan Dahe got into the carriage once and waited for their mother outside the door.

Zhu Yan came out and told her father a few more words, and then reluctantly left in the ox cart.

Zhu Abing and the old woman stood outside the door for a long time, and they couldn't see their daughter, so they supported each other back to the house, and they looked like they were much older from behind.

As soon as the ox cart left Zhujia Village, the mother's tears fell like no money, and the father saw the pain in his eyes and heart, and comforted him: "Don't cry, let's come back to see my father and mother more in the future." ”

Zhu Yan sighed and nodded: "En." ”

In the evening, my mother was not in the mood to cook, so a few people ate some noodles and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, not long after the door opened, an uninvited guest came to the house, Zhu Yan saw that this was not the person who invited her husband to dinner last time, and warmly stepped forward to entertain.

"Don't be busy, brother, Brother Fan?" Zhang Erzhu looked back at the room, didn't see Fan Junjiang, and frowned slightly.

Zhu Yan said a glass of sugar water and handed it to him with a smile: "He went up the mountain to pick up wood, ready to make furniture, and earn some silver to make a living." ”

"Okay, thank you. He took the cup and put it aside, and said, "This Fan brother is quite diligent, and he will have to hit the furniture again so soon." ”

"Hehe, if you don't do it, you see, our whole family is waiting to eat with our mouths open. ”

Zhang Erzhu nodded, it is true that every household has a scripture that is difficult to read.

After waiting for a while on the stool in the hall, I saw Fan Junjiang and Fan Dahe carrying a piece of wood into the courtyard.

Zhu Yan saw that Xianggong was back, walked a few steps to greet him, and whispered a few words, and then Fan Junjiang nodded, washed his hands and rushed into the hall.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhang Erzhu sitting on a stool looking forward to it, and stepped forward with a light smile and hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry Brother Zhang, look at me here." ”

"Hehehe, come and do it, I'm here today to find you with good things. ”

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Fan Junjiang was quite curious, and approached: "Brother Zhang, what's the good thing?"

"Come here. ”

The two exchanged heads, most of them were Zhang Erzhu talking, and Fan Junjiang was listening.

After Zhang Erzhu finished speaking, he looked at him with a smile: "How about it, this is a great thing!"

Fan Junjiang nodded and said, "Well, let me think about it." ”

"Brother Fan, there won't be this shop after this village, you want to be careful. Zhang Erzhu sat leisurely on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, looking at him with a smug smile.

Fan Junjiang lowered his head and was silent for a while, if you want to say that it is not bad to give yourself benefits, one hundred taels of silver per month, you don't have to work by yourself, and you can sell a set of furniture and give yourself five taels of silver, but the key is that the skill of bending this furniture leaked under their noses!

"Brother Zhang, this incident is a good thing, but I still can't agree!"

The hand that drank the water paused, and turned his head to look at him in surprise: "Why is this?"

"I'm a craftsman, and I rely on this craft to eat, and if I leak this craft, then what will I rely on to eat in the future. "What he said was still quite subtle, and he didn't say that you were secretly learning art, which was relatively leeway.

Zhang Erzhu also thought of this problem before he came, after all, no one was willing to give up his craft, but he didn't expect this man to say it so directly, he paused for a while, seeing that he really didn't want to take over this job, so he slowly said a plan.

"My lord values you very much, I really want to cooperate with you, since you are afraid of craftsmanship, not weak, we will do the rest of the furniture, and you will do the rest, and the silver will be according to ten taels of silver per piece. ”

Fan Junjiang smiled and waved his hand: "I also want to cooperate with Master Zhou, and the conditions behind this are also very reasonable, that is, this silver." ”

Zhang Erzhu pricked up his ears to listen, but when he heard half of it, he didn't say anything, looked up at him, and smiled: "If you have anything to say, don't say it directly." ”

"I'll just say that big brother Zhang, ten taels of silver is too little, at least twenty taels of silver a piece. ”

"What? Twenty taels? This is too much, Brother Fan, it is indeed too much for you to make one piece, there are still so many workers to feed in that furniture city, and you will lose one-fifth of it at once, this is probably not appropriate!" He couldn't sit still, and looked at him with straight eyes.

Fan Junjiang frowned and nodded in embarrassment: "In this way, if I take a step back, then fifteen taels, and I won't do it any less." ”

Zhang Erzhu looked at his expression, which can be regarded as a set of his bottom line, and sighed secretly, who said that he is an honest man, this is simply pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he can't take advantage of him at all.

"Brother Fan, I can't be the master of this matter, I have to go back and ask for instructions, and when there is a letter, I am coming!"

He stood up and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhang is going back after lunch, and it's not bad at this time." ”

"No, there will be a lot of time to eat together in the future, and it will always be the same as this one, besides, Master Zhou is still waiting at home, and I have to go back to my life, and I will also serve other people's rice bowls to see other people's faces. "It's very sincere.

"Then since this is the case, I won't force it to stay, I have something to eat at home, you take it back and let my sister-in-law give you a meal with pork belly, it's very delicious, and this thing is not sold elsewhere." ”

"Haha, there's this thing, then I'm welcome. ”

"You're welcome, go, I'll pretend for you. ”

When the two of them went to the kitchen, Fan Junjiang was not ambiguous, he directly filled a small half-wooden basin, told him with a smile how to do it, what to make it delicious with, and told him everything he knew.

Zhang Erzhu smiled and nodded, listened very carefully, and after understanding, he got into the carriage with a wooden basin and left.

As soon as he returned to the town, he handed over the pot of sour things in the carriage to the little servant, gave a brief explanation, and walked into the front yard quickly.

After Zhang Erzhu finished his report, he stood aside and bowed his head, the room was so quiet that even his heartbeat could be heard, time passed slowly, Steward Zhang raised his eyes and glanced at him, seeing that he was not in a hurry or angry, he really couldn't see what the master meant, as if it had been a long time, Zhou Kang said lightly: "Promise him, but the things that come out must be sold to Zhou Ji, and fifteen a month must be released, if these two conditions cannot be met, then everything is not to be discussed." ”

"Yes, sir, I'll go in the afternoon. ”

"Well, when the time comes, you bring the contract and write down the conditions. ”

"Yes. Seeing that Zhou Kangzai didn't seem to have anything to order, he bent down and walked out of the house.

At lunchtime, there was an extra pot of vegetables on the table, and there was soup in it, which seemed to be soup dishes, but when I looked in, it was actually cabbage soup, Zhou Kang frowned.

When Steward Zhang saw it, he went up and gave Zhou Kang a bowl.

"Master, this thing is called sauerkraut, just now I tasted it in the kitchen, not to mention the taste, sour, very delicious, even the dish tastes crispy and appetizing. ”

"Oh, I'll taste it. ”

I took a shallow sip, yes, delicious, sour, after a small bowl was drunk, and I ate a lot of sauerkraut, after I was full, I found that I actually ate an extra bowl today, and my mouth was enjoyable, but my stomach was propped up, and I smiled bitterly, Zhang was so big or the first time to do this shameful thing, I got up and walked around the garden a few times to eliminate food
