Sending away the second shopkeeper who was very grateful, the uncle and nephew had time to quietly appreciate this small chic Accord, looking at the second uncle who rushed into the room and was only interested in it, Dongzhang shook his head with a smile, and said to him:

"Second uncle, don't be busy, I also delayed you for half a year, you should leave for a few days to rest here."

After listening to Dongzhang's words, the second uncle was obviously stunned, and asked, "Didn't you find that Laozi thing?" ”

"When I get here, that thing is not far from ten, the difficulty is only on this journey, I have a child with a huge amount of money, and if there is no adult next to him, I may die somewhere, so ah, thank you a lot, second uncle."

After Dongzhang finished speaking, he took out the remaining five gold leaves into his arms, and exchanged one gold leaf for one hundred taels of silver, and only these five pieces were worth five hundred pieces of silver, and at this time, Dongzhang only had fifty or sixty taels of silver left.

Seeing the gold leaf handed over by Dongzhang, the second uncle just glanced at it and stopped looking at it, but said to Dongzhang quite seriously:

"You brought it here by me, it's not finished if you don't find it, I have to watch you again."

Dongzhang's heart inevitably warmed when he heard this, but he also knew that the second uncle must have misunderstood that he was going to do something dangerous, but he couldn't explain this matter to him, you said it was difficult.

Dongzhang had no choice but to cry and laugh and said to the second uncle: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you, then you should be able to accept this reward." ”

Looking at the gold leaf handed over by Dongzhang, the second uncle just glanced at it casually, and then walked towards the gate after taking three of them, his footsteps did not stop, and the person turned his back to Dongzhang and said:

"I'll leave the rest to you to marry your daughter-in-law, I'll go to the market and see what good things are available, and let's have a drink tonight."

Having said that, what else can Dongzhang say, he can only watch the second uncle go out with some speechlessness and some emotion.

When I first went to a strange place at this age, I really needed some money to be around, so I didn't have to be hypocritical with my second uncle, so I lay on the rocking chair under the osmanthus tree and pretended to sleep.

At sunset, the red and gorgeous sunset reflected on Dongzhang's face through the osmanthus tree, the nose throbbed, and a puffy fragrance rushed to the door of Dongzhang, rubbing his sleepy eyes Dongzhang opened his eyes.

When I looked in, I saw that the kitchen next to it was brightly lit, and the chimney on the roof was curling with smoke, and under the flickering lights, a figure was busy inside.

"Second uncle, what kind of dishes are there today?"

Dongzhang leaned against the kitchen door, clasped his hands around and looked at the busy second uncle and laughed.

"Hey, you kid is finally awake, there is a big dish tonight, you have a good mouth."

The second uncle turned around and looked at Dongzhang and said, and then hurriedly went to get the things in his pot.

Dongzhang, who was disappreciative, naturally cooperated and asked, "Oh? What a big dish to get this time. ”

Cover the pot, the second uncle casually took the rag by the stove and wiped his hands, turned around to face Dongzhang and grinned: "Elbow, big elbow, we will have to drink a few glasses later, and the wine can be bought." ”

"Huh!? That feeling is good, I feel like I haven't eaten the elbow you made for a long time, and I won't stop chopsticks until my belly leaks. ”

Some hungry Dongzhang couldn't help but go into the room to get the dishes and chopsticks, and within a few quarters of an hour, the standard four dishes and one soup were all alive, and the uncle and nephew did not go into the house to eat, and moved the dishes to the stone table under the osmanthus tree on the spot and made two chairs and all of them lived.

After the two of them had eaten five rounds of wine and three rounds, Dongzhang looked at the honest middle-aged man opposite and said: "Second uncle, it's rare to come to this realm, you can stay for a few more days, play enough and rest enough, you can go back, Dongzhang is fine here." ”

Seeing that the second uncle wanted to speak and stopped, Dongzhang hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the second uncle, Dongzhang is to learn martial arts from the master on this trip, I heard that the martial arts of Shaolin Temple are broad and profound, Dongzhang has been fascinated for a long time since he was a child, and his second uncle doesn't have to worry about it, and in a few days Dongzhang will invite a cook, and the three meals a day will be taken care of, and the second uncle will return with relief, don't worry about the kid." ”

Hearing that this was the case, the second uncle really laughed heartily, and said with a smile: "You kid said it earlier, it made the second uncle and I worry for a while, but you kid won't be going to be that monk, right?" ”

After speaking, he looked Dongzhang up and down suspiciously, and the smile on Dongzhang's face instantly became unnatural, thinking: Monk? Will I be a monk? It's rare to come to this legendary world and have to be suicidal single?? Crazy!

Next.

Dongzhang's uncle and nephew went out for a stroll early in the morning, yes, it was to hang out, understand the customs of this town, and by the way, they were familiar with the town, after all, Dongzhang still had to live here, and it was a little strange to suddenly have an extra child, and there was no such thing as a second uncle.

The two of them stopped and went, and they also inquired about where to invite the cook, the town is so big, who is familiar with everyone, and as soon as they inquired, they knew that there were several cooks and cooks who were idle at home.

As soon as you inquire by the way, you will know who is on the road and how you have walked, you don't need to ask the broker at all, you can find Party B, and the two can finalize the details of the cooperation by themselves when they meet.

After inquiring all the way, Dongzhang finally stood in front of an ordinary farmer's house, stood outside the fence and looked in, there were various crops hanging on the two shelves in the yard, and there were a lot of things in the yard but they were placed in an orderly manner, and the sanitation was also meticulously cleaned.

nodded with satisfaction, and then Dongzhang stood outside the door and asked inside, "Is Aunt Liu at home?" ”

Dongzhang's uncle and nephew asked outside the door for the third time, and then hurriedly replied: "Eh, eh, here, here." ”

With the sound of footsteps, the goal of Dongzhang's trip also appeared in front of the two, this is a woman of about forty-six or seventeen, probably because of the perennial migrant work, the whole person's skin is darker, and at this time he was standing in the courtyard and asked Dongzhang a little restrainedly:

"Dare to ask Xiao Langjun what is the matter with the people's wife?"

"Aunt Liu, don't panic, I heard that Aunt Liu is making a good dish, and there is a shortage of a cook at home, no, I just came over to take a look."

Dongzhang said to Aunt Liu in a harmonious voice with a smile that he thought was kind.

As soon as Aunt Liu in the courtyard heard this, a flash of joy immediately appeared on her eyebrows, and her face was immediately full of smiles, and she hurriedly opened the door and stretched out her hand to signal the two of them to go in and talk.

But Dongzhang immediately stopped Aunt Liu, and said to her with a smile: "You don't need to go in, just say a few words here, and let me ask you, do you have any intention of coming to my house to be a cook?" ”

"Some of them, don't hide it from Xiao Langjun, the folk woman used to be the head of the restaurant before, but in recent years, she has become older and gradually can't do those intense jobs, so she has retired, but if you only say three meals a day, the folk woman can still be competent."

After listening to Dongzhang's words, Aunt Liu hurriedly explained to Dongzhang in a panic.

These were inquired about clearly before Dongzhang came, and Dongzhang also knew that this Aunt Liu had died her husband very early, and her son had gone to join the army again, and she was currently alone at home, with nothing to worry about.

Dongzhang is looking for this kind of careless, first, there are not many concerns about the call, and second, she has no interference from family time, and she can do things for Dongzhang wholeheartedly.

This is exactly what Dongzhang is looking for a full-time cook and sweeping aunt, without too much nonsense, Dongzhang said to Aunt Liu: "We have two taels of silver a month here, but we have to be responsible for cleaning the house and washing clothes, the best, I have to move over there to live, because sometimes I will ask for food at night, if there is no problem, Aunt Liu can we go to try the food, if we are satisfied, we can officially go to work tomorrow,"

Aunt Liu stood in place and pondered for a moment before saying to Dongzhang: "Yes, the husband of the folk woman went a few years ago, and her son also joined the army outside, and there was only one woman in the family, and there was no concern at home, so the folk woman went to try the dishes with Xiao Langjun." ”

Then the group purchased a considerable amount of ingredients at the market and went straight to Dongzhang's residence.

As Aunt Liu cleaned up the ingredients, after a while, the chimney of the kitchen rose with curling smoke, and the uncle and nephew sat under the osmanthus tree and chatted with each other.

didn't let the uncle and nephew wait too long, and after a while, Aunt Liu brought out one dish after another, all of which were ordinary peasant meals, but not to mention, Aunt Liu's craftsmanship is really not bad, but the taste is lighter, Dongzhang's mouth is a little heavy, and the post-secular weighing taste, heavy oil and salt.

Putting down the chopsticks, Dongzhang glanced at Aunt Liu, who was standing beside him with a somewhat apprehensive expression, and smiled: "Don't be nervous, although it is all home-cooked food, but Auntie's craftsmanship is really not bad, but I have a heavy population, and I will make more material in the future, okay, that's all for today, Auntie can go back, and officially come to work tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Liu couldn't hide her joy and thanked Dongzhang and the two of them for her kindness and went out, watching Aunt Liu carefully close the door, the second uncle turned his head to look at Dongzhang and said:

"This cook has also been found, and there is someone to take care of her diet and daily life, what happens next?"

Dongzhang must have a series of plans in his heart, but these can't be told to the second uncle, first, what he wants to do next is not so moral, and second, it is also Dongzhang's own little secret, glancing at the second uncle, Dongzhang smiled lightly:

"You don't care about it, eat and drink for a few days, when you want to leave, you can go back, and don't delay too long to mess around with me over there."

Seeing that Dongzhang was reluctant to explain, the second uncle could only give up, and the next few days were officially on the right track, Aunt Liu also moved over to take care of Dongzhang's diet and daily life, and Dongzhang was wandering around the street every day, in order to be familiar with the dialect here, where there are many people, where there are many people, it is better, and it will not have little impact on the next things.

The food is still the same as before, all kinds of game and poultry, mainly to replenish blood and qi, and the days have come calmly five days later.

Seeing that Dongzhang, who was already on the right track, the second uncle finally arrived on the day of return.
