After staying here for a while and having said a few details, the group set off again, bypassing the campus of the National University under construction, to the north of Hongshan, and stopping again for a short time to check the site of Jinling Military University.

Chang Yuchun is very concerned about this, this is the place where he wants to rush to the 'martial arts' in the next year.

Lives are at stake.

Therefore, he agreed with Lao Zhu on the spot that after the New Year was over in the past few days, Lao Chang planned to personally supervise the start of construction, and ambitiously wanted to build the campus within three months.

Lao Zhu was also attentive, promising that not only the craftsmen of the Beijing division could be called at will, but also the armies of the Beijing camp could also be called to help after training.

Then move on, one of the more pivotal destinations today.

A craftsman community in the eastern part of the shogunate mountain, similar to the layout of the resettlement community in Mingzhou, has a large area of neat houses that were quickly planned and built a few years ago, and there are also some commercial streets.

Lao Zhu first went to the community for a walk, looked at the brand-new houses around him, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and once again remembered Du Fu's poem quoted by the twenty-third grandson of his baby: There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy, and the wind and rain are not moving.

If the world can be like this, this Ming will definitely not move like a mountain!

Then enter a commercial street.

Compared with the street in front of the Medical University, it is more crowded and lively, with all kinds of merchants and vendors, and pedestrians coming and going.

A few people walked in.

I changed my clothes in advance, maybe it looks more decent, and when the New Year is over, everyone goes out in the best clothes, and a few people are not abrupt. Of course, if you are a caring person, you can also find that the surroundings of this group of people are followed from far or near...... It seems to be a little more.

Entering the street, Lao Zhu also quickly found that some of the shops on the street had Spring Festival couplets pasted, and some did not, so he reacted when he thought about it.

The twenty-third grandson of his own baby is also careful.

Looking around, he paused for a short time, stopped in front of a cloth stall with great interest, asked the price of several kinds of cloth in detail, but did not buy it, and then said to the young man next to him after moving again: "This is a commercial street, huh?" ”

Zhu Yuan nodded: "Yes, ancestor, but, as I just said, the market positioning is different." ”

The street in front of the University of Medicine, even if the part of the northwest side of the plan is facing artisan households, to put it bluntly, it is also for the more affluent upper-class artisan households. As for ordinary people, of course, it is not impossible to pass, but for them, just the commercial market in their own community is enough to meet most of their daily consumption.

Compared with the gathering area of more than 100,000 people, the scale of a medium-sized city in this era cannot have only one commercial street.

Zhu Yuan didn't say much, Lao Zhu pondered it by himself before the combination, but he also felt that he understood a lot.

As he spoke, he continued to walk a while, and a butcher shop stall appeared in front of him.

Lao Zhu smiled and glanced at the young man on the side, and asked with an expression.

Zhu Yuan nodded, but said with a smile and whispered: "It also depends on whether he is blessed or not, the ancestor goes up to speak, if he thinks the person is good, he will leave Mobao, otherwise...... Let's change to the next one, and there is another one. ”

Lao Zhu heard his baby twenty-third grandson say this, and his heart suddenly became much more comfortable.

After all, he is an emperor, even in order to create a small story that can be passed down in the annals of history, he can't write at will without any choice. If Lianzi gives a person with a bad character, he will use this as a crime in the future, and the beautiful talk he originally wanted will become a scandal.

Walk forward slowly.

It's a mutton shop.

Lao Zhu looked at it slightly, the seller was a father and son, the adult was about forty, the figure was strong, but not fat, very capable, at this time he was diligently helping an old woman shave a leg of mutton, the younger one was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but it was also much stronger than Zhu Yuan, and he was skillfully decomposing a freshly killed fat sheep in the shop.

Looking at this small shop, the tables are very clean, and the mutton of all colors is neatly placed or hung.

It feels good.

Lao Zhu was about to speak, and the shopkeeper who was still entertaining the old woman had already looked over, and his smile was simple and simple: "Does the guest officer want mutton?" ”

Lao Zhu said casually: "Take a look." ”

The shopkeeper noticed Lao Zhu's dress, as well as a few people around him, and felt that it didn't look like he had come to buy mutton in person, but he still said patiently: "The guest officer chooses at will, and they are all the best fat sheep that were killed today." ”

Lao Zhu looked at it casually and reservedly, and Zhu Yuan took the initiative to speak: "Look at the store's methods, is it an old business?" ”

"Yes," said the shopkeeper, who helped the old woman wrap the mutton, and after collecting the money, he sent her away, turning to this side with a boning knife, and said, "I have been here for three generations." ”

As the shopkeeper spoke, he didn't pay attention, because the boning knife in his hand was not only nervous by some of the plainclothes guards around him, but also Chang Yuchun, who was standing next to Lao Zhu, was tense and could make a move at any time.

Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu were indifferent.

Zhu Yuan looked for words again: "Three generations, are you just killing sheep, haven't you thought about other livelihoods?" ”

"Sheep are easy to raise, just eat grass, just more," the shopkeeper saw that there were no other customers for a while, put down the boning knife in his hand, and patiently continued to talk: "Occasionally kill a few pigs, heh, there are still miles...... The villagers, the family has added piglets, and they will also shout that I have been cut in the past, the two are decent people, I am afraid that I don't know, this pig, I have to cut it, and the meat will not be fishy. ”

Zhu Yuan smiled and nodded.

It's all right.

You don't have to take the initiative to lead the topic yourself.

It happened that the shopkeeper's son sent the two cut leg of lamb to the case in front of him, and Lao Zhu also looked for words: "This is your son?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "Big baby." ”

Lao Zhu asked again: "But have you ever read a book?" ”

"Our family...... "But a few years ago, there was a community primary school here, and there was a decree from the imperial court, so I let the two little ones learn some words, and if they can read it, I have to provide for it." ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper's son sent another lamb chop over, but Lao Zhu stopped him: "Your father asked your two brothers to go to school, but he didn't let you go, do you have an idea?" ”

The young man was shy, stopped his movements, and showed the same honest smile as his father: "I'm going to talk about my daughter-in-law, I can still study there." But there are two younger brothers, and my father and I provide for them together, and if they can read it, they will not ignore my brother. ”

"Heh, that's the reason," Lao Zhu smiled, very satisfied: "Father and son are filial piety, brothers and brothers, yes, your family must be good." ”

The shopkeeper patted his son and let him continue to be busy, while also laughing: "Guest officer...... You look at it as a reader, these words...... I deserve this evaluation there, I don't deserve it. ”

Satisfied in his heart, Lao Zhu didn't go around any more, and gestured to the surroundings: "Other people's families have Spring Festival couplets, but you don't have them here, since you said that I am a scholar and fate, I will help you write one, how about it?" ”

"That's a good feeling," the shopkeeper felt a little weird, but thinking that people were also kind, he nodded in agreement, but still said, "It's just ...... Guest, we don't have pen and paper here. ”

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Yuan on the side.

Zhu Yuan smiled: "This is easy to do, just borrow it from the surroundings." ”

So I quickly 'borrowed' pen and paper.

In the excitement of some passers-by who have begun to watch, Lao Zhu swiped his pen and quickly completed a pair of Spring Festival couplets that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

Split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife.

After writing it, there was no need for Zhu Yuan to cheer on the scene, but some people on the side applauded.

not only applauded, but also asked Lao Zhu to write a pair for himself, which made Lao Zhu a little at a loss for a while.

The people are so enthusiastic, do they write or not?

I don't need to prepare any more.

It was Zhu Yuan who helped his ancestors to break the siege, and Chang Yuchun on the other side also helped protect him, so he escaped from the crowd.

Naturally, there will be other people in the follow-up.

The couplet was written, looking at the time, it was also close to noon, and Zhu Yuan took the initiative to propose: "Ancestor, there is a mutton soup restaurant in front, do you want to try it, it was opened here by the girl's family around me, and the butcher just now was also mentioned by the girl next to him, and the family bought mutton from him." A nice guy indeed, huh...... surnamed Zheng, I asked people to check it carefully, anyway, it will not live up to the ancestral couplet. ”

Lao Zhu was very happy, so he nodded, but he still subconsciously said: "The girl next to you...... Family...... But I can't mess with you. ”

As soon as he wrote the couplet, he went to the mutton soup restaurant, and Lao Zhu thought that his children were doing the same routine.

Actually, it doesn't matter.

However, what needs to be said, it still has to be said.

"Where, it's just a small shop, but I didn't think about the ancestors to become famous or anything, it's meaningless," Zhu Yuan saw Lao Zhu's thoughts, explained with a smile, and motioned around: "Ancestors, take a look, you can't make a big business here, it's just that the mutton made over there is really delicious, so I thought about bringing my ancestors up to taste it, and I also arranged it in advance." ”

Lao Zhu heard Zhu Yuan say this, so he nodded: "Then let's go." ”

When they came to the mutton soup restaurant opened by the sister-in-law of the Wu family, the group did not stop in the front shop, and walked directly to the courtyard at the back, where tables and chairs had been arranged.

Prepare well in advance.

Moreover, the craftsmanship is really good, Lao Zhu, Zhu Yuan, Lao Li and Lao Chang are four of them, and they have a hearty meal here before starting the afternoon schedule.

When the group left this community, the pre-arranged Jinyi Wei also found Zheng Butcher and talked about it like this, and then, in the already lively street market, many people saw Zheng Butcher at the butcher stall pulling his son to the street without a head, and kowtowed a few times in the direction of the palace in the city.

Then, the news spread, and the whole street suddenly boiled.

His Majesty the Emperor of the present, Weifu paid a private visit, because of the recognition of the Zheng family's father and son, he deliberately left a couplet, as well as comments to the Zheng family, father and son, brother, friend and brother.

Oh, my God!

This is a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes!

As for the Zheng family, it really made a difference because of this, this is a later story.
