Chapter 11: The Old Man Who Was a Picky Eater
"I'm here to see if the old man is awake?" Shen Junchen said coldly.
"Woke up, just ......"
Zhao Qianqian had a sad expression, in fact, she was sad that she couldn't find his family, and she had to take care of him all the time.
"I'll look at his injuries!"
"No, no, you'd better not see him." Zhao Qianqian waved his hand again and again.
"Why? Are you afraid I will ask him? ”
Zhao Qianqian: "......"
"Please!"
Zhao Qianqian made a gesture of please.
In the backyard, an old man with slender body and silver hair tied his hands behind his back, watching the people in the yard wear and walk.
"This one is in the middle of the yard, and the bed is in the middle of the room......"
"Little old man, I haven't cleaned it here, and there ...... over there"
The old man stood up straight, directing the people who were carrying things inside to sweep the floor.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Junchen asked.
"Are you blind? Don't you see me tidying up the yard? ”
The old man was really grumpy, and Shen Junchen was so stunned that he couldn't answer.
Zhao Qianqian didn't want him to come in and run into a wall, he had to suspect that Zhao Qianqian had an ulterior secret.
Shallow spread his hands: "Don't say that my sister didn't remind you." ”
"Old man, I want to ask you a few questions, can you please go to the outhouse?"
Shen Junchen has always been respectful and polite to the old man.
"No time, don't you see I'm slow? If you want to ask, hurry up and help put those homes in place for me! ”
"The chair will be moved to the middle room, and the table will also be moved to that room, be careful not to touch it!"
The old man is really busy, and he has to instruct everyone to put what to put before he can rest assured.
Shen Junchen arched his hand: "Since you are busy, then I will come back another day." ”
As he spoke, he turned and left, but stopped without taking two steps.
"It seems that you don't really want to ask me questions, you don't have to come another day, good granddaughter, don't let him in next time!"
From the time Shen Junchen entered the backyard, the old man didn't even look back at him.
This old man looks really difficult to deal with, and if he doesn't follow his requirements, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask.
Scoundrel, Shen Junchen had to join the team of moving furniture.
The owner of this house went to Huangchengdu, and the owner was an outsider, with only one daughter under his knees, and he married a big family in the imperial city.
When the couple were old, their daughter bought them a house in Huangcheng and took them to the imperial capital.
The couple entrusted the house to the family's maid, Sister-in-law Chen.
Sister-in-law Chen is a countryman, and her daughter-in-law is going to give birth in the next few days, and she has no time to come over to take care of her for a long time, so she is listed for rent.
Originally, it was rented out as a whole, but Zhao Qianqian felt that he couldn't live so wide, and he had to spend two taels of silver more, so he only rented the first few rooms.
Rented together in the back, the furniture can be used, but it cannot be damaged or resold.
rented it out in a hurry, and Zhao Qianqian picked up a big bargain.
If you really rent it slowly, you have to calculate it at the market price, at least ten taels of silver a month.
Before the owner left, he only left a few rooms in the backyard, and the rest was disposed of and exchanged for silver.
Sister-in-law Chen's family lives at the foot of the mountain outside Dongcheng, and it takes most of the day to run here every day.
It happened that Zhao Qianqian saw that Sister-in-law Chen went home on the second day of the listing for rent, and gave Zhao Qianqian the address, so that she could go to find her outside Dongcheng if she had something.
There are three wings and one main room in the backyard.
The main house was occupied by the old man.
The south wing is for Zhao Qingyao, the east wing is Zhao Qianqian, and the west wing is Zhao Yu.
Ling Feng lived in the room where Zhao Qianqian and Qing Yao lived.
Ye Qianfan lived in the room where Ling Feng used to be, and his father still lived there with him.
The room is divided, and everyone has no opinion.
The middle yard is still relatively spacious, and Zhao Yu and Qing Yao can also play in the yard.
Everyone worked very hard, and Zhao Yu and Qing Yao were arranged by the old man to pull out the weeds in the middle of the yard.
With the addition of a vigorous Shen Junchen, the working hours have been shortened by half.
When it was almost time to get to the unitary, the house was all tidied up.
The old man spoke: "What are your objections to the allocation of rooms?" ”
didn't give people a chance to answer: "Since everyone has no objections, what should I do!" ”
Everyone: "Yes! ”
"I just asked if there were any objections, but none of you answered, and now I say yes, it's too late!"
After speaking, he hummed and glanced at everyone, that posture really has the kingly demeanor of me.
Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan are usually domineering, but somehow they are a little afraid of this old man, there is always one
The feeling of being a thief.
The old man occupied the main house, they couldn't ask for it, he just wanted to avoid it as far away as possible.
The 2 sons were not allowed to have any objections, and everyone dispersed, and went back to the house, and Shen Junchen stood aside and waited.
"What questions do you have?" The old man glared at Shen Junchen.
"Where are you from, and what is your relationship with this girl? How did you get hurt on the head? ”
Shen Junchen asked three questions in one breath.
The old man glared at him again: "Don't bother me with these simple questions, just ask my granddaughter?" ”
"Which girl are you talking about granddaughter?" Shen Junchen still wants to confirm it again.
"You're only a little worse than me, why are you so stupid? Think for yourself! The old man glared at Shen Junchen with hatred.
"Ask my granddaughter if you don't understand something, don't bother me, I'm busy." After speaking, leave a back for Shen Junchen to enter the house and close the door.
The old man suddenly opened the door again, and then he became like a child asking for a reward, and his attitude was excellent.
"Good granddaughter, I'm still eating that noon soup tonight, remember to make me two bowls, two bowls!"
"Hey, I'll call you in a moment!"
Zhao Qian's sweet voice, the old man smiled, and closed the door again.
Shen Junchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, he could see that the old man in this courtyard was only kind to Zhao Qianqian, and everyone else was afraid of him.
I said I don't want to see it, I want to come.
"You seem to be gloating?" Shen Junchen's eyes were cold, staring at Zhao Qianqian.
"Don't dare." Zhao Qianqian replied seriously.
I didn't dare to say it in my mouth, but my heart was happy.
"You can also see that my grandfather's temper is not very good, why don't you ask him another day?"
If Shen Junchen doesn't leave, Zhao Qianqian will have to accompany him and be ready to cooperate with him in the investigation and questioning, and he can only sacrifice the old man's bad temper at the moment.
Shen Junchen looked at the old man's room: "I'll eat at your house tonight." ”
"Huh? My family's coarse tea and light rice are not used to adults. Zhao Qianqian declined.
Shen Junchen approached him with a smile in his eyes, stopped less than ten centimeters in front of her, and smiled evilly with red lips.
Zhao Qianqian's gaze moved downward, wanting to avoid Shen Junchen's evil smile.
took a few steps back again and again, shook his head, and wanted to stay awake, this person is the same as the old man, turning his face faster than turning a book.
She took a few steps back, and he took a few steps, and Zhao Qianqian suddenly stretched out his hand: "Stop!" ”
Zhao Qianqian smiled like a flowery eye: "You can eat at my house, but you can't eat for nothing, pay for dinner." ”
Shen Junchen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Deal." ”
Zhao Qianqian was surprised: "I made something very delicious, don't you ask the price?" ”
"I'm not a picky eater, you can just set the price."
Shen Junchen turned around and walked around the courtyard.
Zhao Qianqian entered the stove house and called Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan.
The three of them worked together in the stove house, and Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan did chores, but they mainly learned how to cook.
At first, it was just a requirement to be cooked, but now it is required to taste, and the two of them learned seriously, Zhao Qianqian did it once in the morning, and he learned to do it at noon.
There was no food at home, and dinner was made quickly.
The table was still made up of several wooden planks, and Shen Junchen was not pretentious, and sat with everyone.
Everyone didn't move their chopsticks, and the old man finally entered: "Eat." ”
This posture is really like an order from an army commander.
Zhao Qianqian made egg pancakes with corn porridge, and a wild mushroom soup.
The two bowls of wild mountain mushroom soup in front of the old man quickly bottomed out, and he took another piece of egg cake.
Probably because the egg cake was too delicious, the old man ate two in one go.
Shen Junchen is very good-looking, although he thinks that the wild mountain mushrooms and egg cakes taste unique, but he still maintains an elegant appearance.
The old man reached out to take the third one, Zhao Qianqian told him that he couldn't eat too much greasy food at night, it was not good for his health, and the old man took a look at the egg cake and left the table and went to the backyard.
Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan were originally just afraid of the old man, but unexpectedly, Shen Junchen stayed for dinner, although the egg cake was fragrant, they didn't know how to eat it.
Shen Junchen consciously went out to leave after dinner, and was stopped by Zhao Qianqian as soon as he went out: "Said you would pay for dinner?" ”
Shen Junchen didn't wave his head back: "Moon knot." ”
Zhao Qianqian rolled his eyes: "Raise interest rates on credit." ”
"You're good." When he spoke, Shen Junchen was about to turn the corner.
The corners of Zhao Qianqian's mouth rose, and his thumb scraped handsomely on the tip of his nose: "Don't blame my sister for cheating you." ”
Eating greasy tonight, Zhao Qianqian asked the old man and the children to wander around the yard more, and then enter the house after digesting.
went to clean up the room for Zhao Yu and Qing Yao first, and then went back to his room to clean up, and counted the silver in the bag by the way.
It is not safe to put too much silver on your body, and it is also heavy to carry, so I searched all corners of the room, found a secret place, and put the silver in.
The old man saw Zhao Qianqian holding the medicine jar, and walked to the other side of the corridor with great disgust.
Zhao Qianqian called him, and he pretended not to hear and walked faster.
"Stop!" Zhao Qianqian elongated his voice.
"You called me?" The old man pretended to be innocent.
In fact, the decoction is just to disguise anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbs also have anti-inflammatory effects, but they are slower.
The old man glared at Zhao Qianqian unhappily, and drank the bowl of soup bitterly.
"It's really unfilial to give me such a bitter medicine, are you still my own granddaughter?" The old man glared at Zhao Qianqian resentfully.
"If it's fake, go into the house and change the dressing." Help the old man to walk to the main house.
"Fake? I also admit it, I want to leave the old man behind, don't even think about it. The old man laughed.
"Good granddaughter, you can buy some candied fruit for the old man, you won't be bitter if you eat it." The old man began to be coquettish.
This old man is really cute and cute, Zhao Qianqian was amused by him.
"I'll buy it for you tomorrow, and the shops are closed today."
"It's better to be a good granddaughter!"
The wound began to scab, after changing it today, it can be changed in two days, and it is easy to bandage it after rubbing Shen Junchen's gold sore medicine with the powder.
Zhao Qianqian went out early every day, she was afraid that the old man would not listen to others, so she specially explained to him not to go out.
When she brought the corn to feed the pheasants today, the pheasants were no longer afraid of her, and she spread the corn in the palm of her hand, and the pheasants would peck at it.
Zhao Qianqian tried to touch the feathers on the back of the pheasant, and the pheasant did not reject it, she touched its feathers, and it ate her corn.
"It's so easy to get your hands on." The corners of Zhao's shallow lips curled up with a good-looking amplitude.
After the corn was sprinkled, I picked up the eggs, hugged three pheasants, and went to pick some kiwifruit and some wild mushrooms as usual.
It was still early, and it was estimated that Qian Mantang had not opened the door yet, so Zhao Qianqian went home first and put a pheasant in the backyard.
Most of the eggs were kept in the jar of the stove house, all the kiwi fruits were left at home, and the wild mountain mushrooms were packed with a sieve to cool.
At the table, everyone ate around the table, but the old man had a blushing face and looked at the unformed egg cakes on the table.
