Chapter 8: The Wicked and the Virtuous

"You two brothers and sisters are going out of the city?" The sloppy old man drank gruel without a sip, and frowned when he heard that Feng Rui and Feng Qi were going out of the city.

After thinking about it, the sloppy old man put the porridge bowl on the ground and wiped his beard covered with oil, "Let's go out of the city, the old beggar hasn't moved for a long time, so I'll follow you." ”

"You're going to follow, too?" Feng Rui was not happy to hear it.

Although the sloppy old man should be a master, he is sloppy and sloppy, and he is also very sloppy with himself.

What's more, this time I went out of the city to see my own land, and Feng Rui didn't believe that there would be any danger.

"That's natural, you kid still needs an old beggar to roast a chicken!" The sloppy old man didn't pay attention to Feng Rui's dissatisfaction, and walked to the gatehouse with his broken shoes, as if he was afraid that Feng Rui would throw him off and run away.

"Since the old beggar wants to follow, let's go with him." Feng Qi was easy to speak, and then said sweetly to the sloppy old man, "It's just an old beggar grandfather, today we are out of the city, I'm afraid we can't make roast chicken for you personally, so how about we buy one on the road?" ”

"Buy one?" The sloppy old man shook his head a little unhappily, "In addition to the roast chicken in the Windward Building, this Yongjia County can also be imported, and the roast chicken in other restaurants and restaurants is not as delicious as the little chess, so the sharp boy should go to the Windward Building and buy one for the old beggar." ”

"You just make do with the day, I'm definitely not going to go to the Windward Building to buy it for you. First, we still have to hurry, and we have to walk a long way to get out of the south gate to reach my field, and we must not have time to turn to the center of the city. Second, a roast chicken in the Windward Building costs one or two silver, and our brothers and sisters really can't afford it. Feng Rui was also full of unhappiness.

This sloppy old man still wants to eat the roast chicken of the Windward Building, so it is better to eat him.

One tael of silver can eat a month's worth of roast chicken.

"Otherwise, I'll make up for the old beggar grandfather on a cloudy day!" The front chess is played in a circle.

The sloppy old man shook his head, "Old beggar, just bear with it, buy a roast chicken today and have a faint mouth... ”

After breakfast, they didn't even pick up the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of them hurriedly closed the door.

There are no chariots and horses to ride at home, and they all rely on the eleventh road to get there.

Not long after I went out, I came across a restaurant with an open door, and the plaque said Delicious House.

Just as Feng Rui wanted, a small family tavern.

The boss and Xiao Er looked like they went out to buy, and the only cook with a towel on his head sat in the store.

"It's not open yet, it's not open yet!" Before Feng Qi entered the door, the cook in the store viciously drove people away.

"Let's go, let's go to the next one." Feng Rui didn't want to make more trouble, so he wanted to leave with his little sister.

Feng Qi didn't want to leave, and said in a low voice, "But this one is the cheapest." ”

In the past, his brother and sister did not dare to patronize these restaurants.

The family assets left by the parents are not much, where do they dare to eat and drink.

Before the two of them left, the cook in the store spoke again, "Who am I, it turned out to be Feng Fool who sold the field, but it was really a cub who sold his mother's field and didn't feel distressed." Why, if you have money, you don't know who you are, so you come to buy roast chicken in the morning! ”

But I saw that the chef wrapped in a towel had a sideways face and a standard evil look.

The evil cook looked at the Feng family brothers and sisters with contempt, such a soft persimmon in the middle of the family where both parents died.

"You..." Listening to the evil cook scolding the eldest brother for being a fool, Feng Qi's eyes were cold and he wanted to reason with him.

Feng Ruiqiang pulled away the little sister.

Feng Rui doesn't want to have anything to do with this kind of person, he is a bad person, he can't be bullied by him, and there is no benefit in beating.

"What are you, what are you, not a fool! Do you still want to practice martial arts, and you don't pee on you! Where is like me, the big shoulders and round waist are the geniuses of martial arts. Bah! The wicked cook took a sharp sip.

Seeing the sloppy old man outside the store, the evil cook was even more disdainful, "I also said that I am not stupid, if I want to practice martial arts, I have to spend money to worship a good master, what can I learn from this old man called Hanako." I heard that your brother and sister sold ten acres of fertile land, and I am afraid that I have a hundred taels of silver in hand, so it is better to take them out, but I can introduce my master to you. ”

The evil cook talked endlessly, but Feng Rui ignored him.

As for the sloppy old man, he didn't pay attention to the evil cook when he was sleepy.

The three of them bought roast chicken at a shop near the south gate.

Feng Qi said with some distress, "Sure enough, it costs ten yuan, and Meiyiju only costs fifty yuan, while Xianheju costs sixty yuan." ”

The sloppy old man took the roast chicken, but his face was unhappy: "Delicious, but it is as unpalatable as!" Although this Xianheju is better, it is not much better, so you can only swallow it! ”

"If you don't want to take credit on a cloudy day, you can make do with it for a day." Feng Rui was also speechless.

Spent money to be idle, this and that.

It also depends on the sloppy old man that he is a hidden master, otherwise Feng Rui would have driven him away long ago.

However, Feng Rui agrees with the profits of today's restaurant sales.

Thirty wen chickens can be sold for sixty wen, in addition to seven, seven, eighty, eight or eight other expenses, at least fifty or sixty percent of the gross profit, this business can be done.

If you sell roast chicken yourself in the future, you will have a net profit of one or two hundred if you sell ten a day, and it is really profitable. . .

The paddy fields of the Feng family are in an unnamed village more than ten miles south of Yongjia County.

The three of them walked slowly, and they arrived in half a day.

Originally, the Feng family had fifteen acres and an unnamed peak here, but it was sold for ten acres three years ago.

As for the nameless peak, it is said to be a peak, but it is actually a small mountain package, a small mountain package within a radius of three or four miles.

There is a small courtyard at the head of the only remaining five acres of paddy fields.

The small courtyard made of thatched, wood and mud is significantly dilapidated, but it is still a home.

"Is Uncle Zhou at home?" Feng Rui stood outside the fence and shouted inward.

"Who! Daddy went up the mountain to chop wood. "Out of the thatched hut came a little girl of six or seven years old, although she was grizzled, but she could not hide her cuteness.

The little girl saw the person coming clearly, and hurriedly opened the fence door, "It turned out to be Brother Fengrui and Sister Fengqi, please come in quickly!" ”

This little girl is Uncle Zhou's youngest daughter.

Uncle Zhou has a family of five, two sons and a daughter.

"Brother Rui, Sister Qi, but what happened?" A woman in her forties and fifties also hurried out of the thatched house when she heard the movement outside.

The woman is Uncle Zhou's wife.

"It's okay! It's just that my brother wants to come and go, and by the way, I will look for the second brother to see if he still wants to go into the city to make a living... Feng Qi stepped forward and took Aunt Zhou's hand.

In the past three years, she has relied on the help of Uncle Zhou and his wife, otherwise her brother and sister don't know how difficult it will be.

"Brother Rui'er is in good health, he should rest at home more." Aunt Zhou glanced at Feng Rui worriedly.

Some time ago, she heard that Feng Rui was seriously injured, but she was worried for a long time.

She and her husband have received great grace from sharp parents.

When Nanzhili was in the water, she and her husband fled to Hangzhou with their eldest son and youngest son, and when they were about to starve to death, it was Fengrui's parents who helped them and rented the land to them cheaply, so it was very difficult to repay the kindness.

"It's okay, Aunt Lao Zhou is worried!" Feng Rui replied with a smile.

Today's people still value righteousness and commitment, unlike later, when they were mostly deceived and abducted.

"It's okay! By the way, Sister Qi asked Xiao Er if she still wants to go to the city to make a living? Now that it is late autumn, and the crops are almost harvested, if there is a way, I will go. Aunt Zhou said.

She waited for such a family to work tirelessly to be fed and clothed, and if she wanted to marry a wife for her son, she had to work harder.

"I don't know what Sister Qi is talking about?" Aunt Zhou asked again, worried that the two brothers and sisters of the Feng family were young, so don't be deceived.

"My eldest brother and I are going to open a tavern at home, so that we can also make a living in the future, otherwise it will not be a matter of sitting and eating empty." Feng Qi said happily.

"Open a tavern? It's okay, anyway, your brother and sister have that house, and you don't have to invest much money. Aunt Zhou heard that Feng Rui was going to open a tavern and nodded repeatedly.

Three years ago, the Feng couple died of illness at the same time, leaving the two orphans helpless.

At that time, Feng Rui was even more enchanted to practice martial arts, and he also sold ten acres of paddy fields.

And fortunately, there was an old man named Hanako, and it didn't cost much except to add food, otherwise this family would have been scattered a long time ago.

Thinking that the old man was called Huazi, Aunt Zhou looked not far away, and the sloppy old man really followed.

Aunt Zhou doesn't dislike the sloppy old man, it's better to have such an old man look at it than no one to watch, not to mention that in the past three years, the old Huazi has not been able to figure out anything about the Feng family.

"Sister Qi, what are you looking for my second brother for? Although my second brother can roast grasshoppers and birds, he can't be a cook. The little sister of the Zhou family shook her head and said.

Obviously, the grasshopper birds roasted by Zhou Wujian should be very untasty.

Aunt Zhou was also worried, "I heard that the chef of the tavern is very important, and I heard from the head of the house, a cook who can take on one side of the stove is not low... ”

"It doesn't matter! I also cook some meals. What's more, it's just an ordinary tavern, slowly groping. As for looking for the second child, I wanted to ask him if he could go to the city to help me, the little sister knows some accounts, and now she is almost a runaway. Feng Rui looked around.

The grain has been harvested, so there is no end in sight.

The five acres of paddy fields in his home are next to the small courtyard, and at the end of the paddy fields is the 200-meter-high unnamed peak.

"That's fine! Da Lang, Er Xiao and his father have all gone to the mountains to collect firewood, so you don't have to buy firewood in the future. When it comes to collecting firewood, Aunt Zhou is still a little embarrassed.

In today's society, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and firewood are the first to be seen to be very valuable and necessary.

Generally, the dead trees and grass on the hill are not picked up by anyone, they all have owners.

Although the nameless peak of the Feng family is small, the radius is only three or four miles, and there are many trees on the mountain, so the dead branches are all money.

The Feng couple handed over the nameless peak to Uncle Zhou back then, but they confiscated a penny.

Well, that's why Uncle Zhou and his wife do their best to take care of the Feng family brothers and sisters.

People are mutual, if you are good to others, others will be good to you!
