Chapter 39: Finding Big Brother

"Miss Zhang, I'm sorry for you."

"Uncle, you're welcome, how about you taste it?"

Yu Shi fed a mouthful of food to the old man's mouth, and then asked, "Dad, how is it?" Is it tasty? ”

"What's your name, girl?"

Zhang Zezhen thought that the old man would praise the delicious food he cooked, but he didn't expect him to ask what his name was.

"Zhang Zezhen."

"Are you sure this dish is your family's ancestral secret recipe?"

This question made Zhang Zezhen a little speechless, she could only say in a hurry: "Yes, is there any problem?" ”

"Oh."

"Dad, why do you ask this question all of a sudden? Is this dish any good? ”

Yu Shi saw that his father's reaction was a little strange, so he took a chopstick dish and tasted it.

"Oh my god, this dish is so delicious, but it does taste familiar, and I really want to eat it somewhere."

"Eaten?" Zhang Zezhen looked at the reaction of the father and daughter, and was really a little panicked.

"When you were very young, you ate this dish once, and it's normal that you can't remember it clearly." As he spoke, the old man fell into the memory.

"I still remember, you were only 6 years old at that time, after the rain, the high fever did not go away, I asked the best Langzhong in the county to treat you, and you finally got rid of the fever, but after that, you couldn't eat normally, and even the doctor couldn't do it."

"I remembered that at that time, I felt like I was stupid with a burn, and even if the fever went away, my body was very weak, I didn't want to eat, and I was tired, as if it was because of this dish."

"Yes, it's after eating this dish that you have an appetite, and then your body is getting better and better."

"Well, but I don't remember who made it at the time."

"It's a woman, she didn't leave her name, she just took the pulse for you, and then she made the dish and left."

"Ahh Yes, Miss Zhang, what is the relationship between this woman and you? Since it's an ancestral secret recipe, you should know it! ”

Zhang Zezhen was still immersed in the touching story, and this series of questions suddenly brought her back to reality.

"Uh, do I know?"

"You don't know her, why do you make this dish?"

"This ......" Zhang Zezhen couldn't hide it anymore, so she could only tell the truth, "This is an old woman who gave it to me in gratitude, if you don't believe it, you can ask Chu Zhutou." ”

Chu Ming nodded again and again, affirming that what Zhang Zezhen said was the truth.

"Oh, I see, but thank you very much for allowing us to eat this dish again." The old man sighed.

"You're welcome." Zhang Zezhen smiled bitterly.

"However, Miss Zhang, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Uncle, please speak!"

"At that time, I asked the woman about the name and method of this dish, and she did not say, but told me: a famous dish is like a sword, only those who match it can match, and if you take it strongly, it will only invite disaster."

Zhang Zezhen was frightened, she was just a cook, why didn't she discuss it with herself, and the scourge came?

"Dad, look at you, it scared Miss Zhang." So he teased.

"It's too much, don't mind Miss Zhang."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"But it's strange to say, Dad, you look much better today, and you talk a lot."

"I still want to thank Miss Zhang's craftsmanship, which reminds me of a lot of old things and tastes my mother."

"If you like it, if you like it." Zhang Zezhen responded on the side.

"By the way, Dad, Miss Zhang came here this time, if she has something to ask you, it's all your fault. Miss Zhang, say it quickly! ”

"Oh, by the way, uncle, I want to inquire with you about Zhang Zelei's whereabouts." Zhang Zezhen was a little annoyed, and she almost forgot to get down to business.

"Zhang Zelei? What is your relationship? ”

"He's my eldest brother, do you know where he lives?"

"Well, I'd love to hear him say it, and I live on Iron Man Street, next to a place called the Famous Iron Workshop, where they rented a house."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, since he came to the county, he has been learning to strike iron with me, so he usually talks a lot."

"That uncle, Yu Niangzi, Chu Zhutou and I will go to find my eldest brother first, if you can't find it, you may come to trouble you."

"Okay, you guys go quickly, it's not too late."

"Well, uncle, I'll come back to see you when I have time, and your body will definitely recover."

"Borrow the girl's good words."

Zhang Zezhen and Chu Ming left in a hurry and went to Iron Man Street.

"Brother Chu, do you know where the famous iron workshop is?"

"I don't know, but this place is very easy to find, you may not know if you don't come to the county seat often, Iron Man Street is actually very small, find a local, ask and you can find it."

"That's good."

The two of them hurried to Iron Man Street, and Chu Ming dragged a random person and asked, "Do you know where the famous iron workshop is?" ”

"Just at the first intersection ahead, turn left and you'll see it."

"Good! Thank you. ”

Zhang Zezhen can't wait, although theoretically speaking, she has no blood relationship with Zhang Zelei after crossing over, but from the experience, this is also her family, and being with her family is the happiest thing for her.

"Bang bang bang" With this joyful mood, Zhang Zezhen knocked on the door.

"Who? Wait! ”

The door opened, and it was Zhang Zelei who opened the door.

"Little sister! What are you doing here? ”

"Big brother, it's great that you're really here."

"Come, please come in! Lady, who do you see coming? ”

Fu Shi heard her husband calling him and walked out of the house.

"Little girl, how did you find here?"

"I inquired with an old man surnamed Yu."

"My master? How did you and him meet? ”

"It's a long story, let me introduce you to you, this is Chu Mingchu's head catcher, my friend."

Several people saluted each other and sat down for a long talk.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, how are you doing during this time?"

"It's okay, is Daddy okay? What about Dalang? How are you doing? ”

"Don't worry, everything is fine at home, Da Lang is also very good, he is still in school, and the teacher is Xu Yue, who takes good care of him."

"That's good, thanks to you, my eldest brother can't stand you."

"It's all over, big brother, I'm looking for you to go back this time."

"Go back? Was it your father's idea, or was it your own? ”

"Well, this is not important, if you go back, your father and mother will naturally be very happy."

"Little sister, thank you for your kindness, although we are living a hard life now, but we are very down-to-earth, this is our sin to atone for, so I won't go back and make trouble for you."

"Atonement? It's okay to go home, there is a lot of work waiting for you at home, and our family doesn't have enough manpower, so we need your help. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zelei and Fu Shi glanced at each other, unable to understand what the little sister was saying.

"This is a bit complicated, to put it simply, I opened a shop in the town, but I was framed by a traitor, resulting in many merchants not wanting to sell vegetables to us, and now the best solution is to be self-sufficient, but you know, there are few laborers in the family, and I can't let my father and mother go to farm, so you have to go back and help me."

"Who framed you? Let's reason with them! In broad daylight, is there any heavenly reason! ”

Zhang Zezhen saw the naΓ―ve eldest brother and finally understood why he was deceived.

"Big brother, I thank you for your kindness, but you have to be sober, the merchants seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, they have an indescribable connection with each other, that is, entanglement of interests, not to mention the government, you sue the emperor, and you can't solve the substantive problem."

"According to you, isn't it unreasonable."

"Of course there are heavenly principles, but you have to fight for it yourself, you wait for others to seek justice for you, it's basically no fun."

Zhang Zelei pondered for a while, and felt that the little sister was reasonable.

"So what do you say?"

"When you go back to farming, our home-grown vegetables can be guaranteed to be fresh and taste better."

"This ......"

"You don't have to worry about the monthly money, I will share the income of our store this month, and I will not treat you badly."

"Little sister, you misunderstood, we are the sinners of the Zhang family, we can share the trouble for the family, how dare you mention the monthly money! I'm just worried about my mom and dad. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I said hello to them, my mother resolutely stood aside with me, although my father has a hard mouth, but he is soft-hearted, he definitely doesn't want his son to wander the world for the rest of his life, you come back, he will nagging a few words at most, and he won't bombard you away."

"Let's think about it and get back to you later."

Zhang Zezhen doesn't listen to this, in this world, people will use this kind of words to prevaricate others, people are fickle, once they miss the opportunity, it will be even more difficult to persuade them to go back.

"Big brother, what are you still thinking about? Don't you want to take care of Da Lang and Daddy? Do you want your sister-in-law and children to be separated for the rest of your life? ”

"That is, official, why can't we go back? You don't want children, I think! Seeing Zhang Zelei's hesitation, Fu Shi was a little anxious, after all, for women, children are the most important.

"That's right, big brother, what are you still thinking about? Now is your chance to go back and atone for your sins, and if you miss it, you may never go back. ”

Chu Ming, who was watching the play on the sidelines, admired this woman's eloquence, thanks to the fact that she was a good person, if she was a liar, she might not be able to speak of her.

Zhang Zelei was also moved by the persuasion of this bombardment, during this time, he suffered hardships outside, even if he couldn't make money, he would be looked down upon by others, and going home was undoubtedly the best way.

"Okay, let's go back with you and face Daddy together." Zhang Zelei slapped his thigh and made up his mind.

"Great, big brother, let's leave today, you and your sister-in-law hurry up and pack your things, if you are in a hurry, you can pick up Dalang."

As soon as Fu Shi heard that he could see the child immediately, he cried with joy and immediately went back to the house to pack his luggage.

Zhang Zelei was so excited to see his wife that he began to prepare.

The happiest is of course Zhang Zezhen, who can not only reunite his family, but also solve his immediate troubles.

"Alright, you don't need any of these things, stay here." Zhang Zelei said to Fu Shi.

"How can this work? I made it all for Da Lang myself, and I must bring it back to him. ”

Zhang Zezhen looked at this warm scene, and immediately planned his next move, you must know that it is not an easy thing to deal with Gu Changqing, this time he must completely defeat Jinyulou, otherwise he will still find trouble.

"Let's go!" Zhang Zelei said to his sister.

The group called a carriage and set out on their way home.

"Dad, mother, who do you think I brought back to you?" Zhang Zezhen shouted loudly at the door.

Zhang Shanren came out to see it and immediately changed his face.
