"Why not? It's the easiest way to find someone. Chu Ming retorted innocently.

"The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, if it accidentally reaches Gu Changqing's ears, it will cause us a lot of trouble."

"If you say that, you have to go door-to-door, and it will be very slow to find it."

"Xu Yue said that he works in an iron shop, but the time is not fixed, can you help me ask, how many similar shops are there in the county?"

"This is not difficult, I remember that there is a famous ironman street, all of which are some ironsmith shops, wait for tomorrow, I will help you ask."

"Thank you Chu for catching the head."

Xu Yue watched the two chatting happily, and the jealousy in his heart was overflowing.

"Okay, then you two talk, I'll go first." Xu Yue said indifferently.

"Okay, then you go slowly, don't send it." Zhang Zezhen smiled and waved his hand.

This made Xu Yue even more dissatisfied, what? Cross the river and tear down the bridge, hum!

After Xu Yue left, Chu Ming took out a bag from the side, he slowly opened it, and it turned out to be a piece of clothing, Zhang Zezhen looked a little familiar.

"Zhenzhen, this is the clothes you made last time, I brought them to you."

"Thank you so much, Brother Chu, if you don't send it, I'll forget it."

"Put it on and see if it fits."

"Well, then you wait for me here." After speaking, Zhang Zezhen went into the house to change clothes.

"Brother Chu, look, is it good-looking?" Zhang Zezhen jumped out and asked.

When Chu Ming saw Zhang Zezhen's outfit, his eyes straightened, and he nodded again and again and said, "It's good-looking, it's really good-looking." He didn't expect that after dressing up, she could be so beautiful.

Zhang Zezhen was also overjoyed to be praised by others, and this was the first time she wore her favorite clothes since she crossed over.

At this moment, a young woman walked in, looked left and right, and said, "Give me some fruit." ”

Zhang Zezhen smiled bitterly and said, "This lady, I'm sorry, our store is closed during this time, you can come back when it opens." ”

"Closed? Isn't the store open? ”

"The shop is open, but there's no food in the kitchen."

"And what is this?" The woman asked, pointing to the dishes on the table.

"We ate it ourselves."

"You can eat it yourself, why can't you make it for me?"

"Uh......" Zhang Zezhen was speechless for a while.

"Girl, you can make me a piece of fruit, and I will give you as much as you want, even if it is a little expensive."

"Lady, it's not that I don't make it for you, but I really don't, or you go to the kitchen to see it yourself."

The woman sat on the stool with a lost face and said to herself: "Dad, your life is so bitter, and before you die, you haven't been able to taste the fruit of your longing." ”

"Lady, what are you talking about?"

"That's right, my father is seriously ill, and the doctor said that time is running out, and what he wants to eat most before his death is your fruit. I've been here a few times before, and you have been keeping the door closed until yesterday, and my father's condition has deteriorated, and he may ...... in a few days."

As she spoke, the woman wept with her face.

"Therefore, I came to visit again today to bring him back a piece of fruit and fulfill his last wish."

Zhang Zezhen was also very moved when she heard it, but she didn't understand it either, so she asked: "Lady, there are so many fruits to sell, why did you choose my family?" ”

"Because my father said that the fruit you made tasted exactly the same as my grandmother's, and that it was the taste of home, and after he ate it, he might be able to meet his grandmother in the underworld."

"Where do you live? When did you buy the fruit I made? Why am I not impressed at all? ”

"My family lives in the county seat, and when I ate the fruit you made, you were still in Jinyulou. I went there some time ago to look for you, and they said you had long since left, and then brought me a plate of fruit that they had made themselves, and I tasted it, and it didn't taste right, so I asked where you were. ”

"And who told you I'm here?"

"It's the running hall of Jinyulou, listen to them call him...... Three wins. ”

Zhang Zezhen was very relieved to hear it, she didn't see the wrong person at the beginning.

"That's it, lady, you wait here for a while, let's go buy some ingredients, it will take about an hour to be ready, how about you wait here for a while?"

"Really? Thank you so much, girl! Your great kindness will not be forgotten by our whole family. ”

"You don't have to be polite."

Zhang Zezhen turned his gaze to Chu Ming and showed an "evil" smile.

"Brother Chu, look."

"Don't say it, I know what you're asking me to do!"

Chu Ming himself didn't expect that he would become an errand boy for a little girl, on this day, he had already bought the third dish, and if he bought it twice, it is estimated that others think he is a chef.

Zhang Zezhen took the written menu and handed it to Chu Ming, and said coquettishly: "Brother Chu, hard work!" I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. ”

"That's what you said!" Chu Ming grimaced and glanced at her.

"It has to be me."

"Okay, then I'll work hard again."

Zhang Zezhen is very happy in her heart, it is still very important to have a man who runs errands at a critical time.

"This lady, what is your surname?"

"Don't give your surname Yu, you should have the surname Zhang, right? I listened to what the runner said. ”

"Yes, may I ask what disease your father has?"

"Tuberculosis, the doctor said that it was caused by perennial worry, hey, my father has also suffered all his life, he has been giving people iron for a lifetime, and in the end, all the money he earned was used to see a doctor."

Striking iron? This made Zhang Zezhen feel energetic.

"Girl, you said your father was an ironworker?"

"Yes, he's a well-known blacksmith in the county, what's wrong?"

"Then have you heard of a person named Zhang Zelei?"

"Zhang Zelei? It sounds familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere! ”

Zhang Zezhen looked at Yu with expectation, she felt that her brother's whereabouts had fallen.

"By the way, my father took in an apprentice, named Zhang Zelei, and he also has a wife, who seems to be called Fu."

"yes, that's right, do you know where they live?"

"I really don't know, he never comes to the house, I just saw him once or twice when I was looking for my father, and I didn't say anything."

"Then I can go to the county seat with you later and see your father?"

"Of course you can, but why are you looking for this Zhang Zelei?"

"He is my brother, and Fu is my sister-in-law."

"Since it's your brother and your sister-in-law, how come you don't know where they live?"

Zhang Zezhen was asked, she tried to make up a reason, "My family's conditions are relatively poor, so the two of them left home to find something to do, and now, I have opened a store, and I want to find them back and open this store together." ”

"Oh, I see, then you can go back with me later, and ask my father, he should know the whereabouts of your eldest brother."

"Great."

"What do you say? So happy. Chu Ming came back with the dishes.

"You'll know later, I'll make the fruit first, and you do it first."

Zhang Zezhen began to mix noodles, chop vegetables, and fry nuts, trying to make the fruit in the shortest possible time, so that she could meet her eldest brother.

At this time, she suddenly remembered the secret recipe dish she had just made, this might be the last time the old man tasted delicious food before his death, so it was better to let him often use this secret recipe, which could be regarded as giving full play to the value of this dish.

So, in addition to steaming the fruit, she reused the leftover vegetables that Chu Ming bought. While cooking, Zhang Zezhen secretly made up her mind that she must bring her eldest brother and sister-in-law back this time.

Even if it's not for his own business, but also for Dalang, such a young child will not be accompanied by his parents, and when he grows up, he is likely to become withdrawn and indifferent, which he doesn't want to see.

When the meal was ready, Zhang Zezhen brought the food box and carefully put the vegetables and fruits into it.

"Yu Niangzi, the fruit is ready, and I also made an exclusive secret recipe dish, I hope your father can like it."

"Miss Zhang has a heart! Let's go! ”

"Okay."

"Huh? Where are you going? Chu Ming asked with a puzzled expression.

"Go find my big brother."

Hearing this, Chu Ming was even more puzzled, "Looking for your eldest brother?" Where the hell is this? ”

"On the way, I told you, call a carriage, and we will go to deliver fruits to Yu Niangzi's father first."

"Oh, good."

Chu Ming felt like a fool in front of Zhang Zezhen, he had always felt that he was a smart and intelligent head catcher, why couldn't he guess the girl's mind at this time, maybe this was also the reason why he liked Zhang Zezhen.

"Brother Chu, Yu Niangzi's father is my eldest brother's master, and they work in an iron shop, so he should know my eldest brother's whereabouts."

"So that's the case, it's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it, I originally wanted to inquire from door to door, but I didn't expect the news to be delivered to the door by myself."

"It's thanks to the fact that the lady can come today."

"Where? It's Miss Zhang, your craftsmanship is so good, it has become my father's only wish, which makes us see each other and tell each other. ”

"Don't be humble to each other, you all got what you want anyway." Chu Ming said happily.

Along the way, the three of them talked and laughed, and Yu also felt that Zhang Zezhen was sincere, cute, and worthy of deep friendship. Zhang Zezhen believes that Yu is actually very capable, and maybe one day, they can become good partners and build a career together.

About half an hour later, they arrived at Yu's house.

From a distance, it's just an ordinary yard, after walking in, the home furnishings are very simple, although not rich, but not very shabby, but under Yu's tidying, the home is very clean and tidy.

"Dad, I'm back, you see, I brought who I brought to you."

There was a sick old man lying on the bed, and he tried to open his eyes, looked at his daughter, and then at the two strangers next to him, and said, "It's good to come back." ”

"Dad, this is Miss Zhang, who made fruit for you, specially came to see you, and this one next to me is Chu Zhutou, Miss Zhang's friend."

"Please sit down, ahem, I can't get up to receive you, please forgive me."

"Uncle, lie down, this is the fruit and vegetables I made, I heard that you like it, so I brought it to you."

Zhang Zezhen opened the food box, took out a fruit from it, handed it to Yu, and then pinched a small piece of it and put it in his father's mouth.

The old man tasted it, tears fell from his eyes, and he choked up and said, "That's right, that's the taste, the taste of mother's cooking." Miss Zhang, thank you for fulfilling my old man's last wish. ”

"You're welcome, uncle, there is also a dish I made myself, I don't know if you like it."

"Dad, this dish is Miss Zhang's ancestral secret dish, try it."
