Chapter 15: When I found out the truth, I burst into tears
"Dry rice, how many pieces of wood are there?"
"Woo ......"
"Idiot, there's three pieces of wood here!"
"Dry rice, what's that?"
"Stupid, that's a grasshopper, don't chase ......"
Zhao Chuanxin tried to develop the brain of dry rice.
Later generations do not shout slogans every day: win at the starting line.
But at the end of the day, it doesn't seem to have much effect.
The yellow mud was gone, so the snot babies continued to dig the yellow mud with a soil basket. Come back and continue to brick.
In the afternoon, Zhao Chuanxin called a group of children to distribute wood carvings.
Not to mention the children in the village, even in the city, there are no toys to speak of.
A group of snot babies looked at the wooden villain in their hands, the wooden boat, and the wooden sword that could hold a gesture, and their eyes were glowing green.
It's so fun!
Then I heard the adults of my own family shouting, and they scattered like birds and beasts.
Zhao Hongzhi went home with a wooden boat. When I got home, I ran to the kitchen and threw the wooden boat into the water tank, and it really floated.
When his mother saw it, she carried a broom and a gada, and whipped it on her buttocks: "Little deflated calf, you have caused a water disaster, how can we eat it?" ”
The country child is solid, Zhao Hongzhi is not afraid at all, and taking two hits is like tickling. Struggling to escape from the clutches, he went to the water tank to scoop up the boat, and slipped into the house.
Zhao Zhongyi was woken up, looked at the wooden boat in his hand, and asked where it came from.
"Uncle Salaryman carved it for us."
"Didn't he sleep?"
"No, he sat at the door for a day. We bricked him and he teased the puppy. Uncle Salary's carving of wood is fast, it's amazing! Wait for tomorrow, I will ask him for a wooden sword, but it will be majestic. ”
In the head of the snot baby, there are only the concepts of majesty and fun. He didn't know that the wooden sword was the simplest, and the smaller and more complex the carving, the more difficult it was.
Zhao Zhongyi went to Liu Guigui's house.
I saw that Zhao Chuanxin was holding a horse spoon at this time, on the stove of the small food burden, back and forth. Filled with oil, water and soy sauce, the cabbage slices flew up and down. Faintly, there is also a smell of acetic acid.
"What is this for?"
Zhao Chuanxin raised his head, with two dark circles under his eyes, and bared his teeth: "What about the spoon, stir-fry, haven't you seen it?" ”
"No, my family uses a big pot of stew."
stewed, Zhao Chuanxin eats stewed meat, such as chicken, duck and goose, or beef brisket or something. In addition, he prefers to eat stir-fried vegetables.
For this reason, I also deliberately learned from professional chefs, but I am not a knife worker.
"It smells good." Zhao Zhongyi snorted and said.
Can it not be fragrant, although there is no meat, but the lard bought in the city is mixed with soybean oil, and there is no shortage at all.
Then, Liu Guigui also woke up.
Rubbing his eyes: "Oh, you can also cook?" ”
"It must be!" Zhao Chuanxin blinked.
"Then why didn't you do it before?"
"If you have a cook, what else can I do?"
It makes sense, but I am speechless.
The dry rice is hungry at the foot and goes straight around.
Zhao Chuanxin poured some vegetable soup for it, mixed it with mashed dough, and fed it food.
"Grass, whose dog eats fine grain?" Liu Guigui said unhappily.
Ordinary people will live, even if they have ten silver dollars hidden at home, there is still no reason to waste them.
"It's okay, my dog will eat it."
Zhao Chuanxin said as a matter of course.
Later generations of dogs ate dog food, and a few thousand less a year is not enough.
Liu Guigui took a sip: "Those flag men have dogs at home, and they don't have dogs like you." ”
Zhao Zhongyi interjected: "Let's get down to business." Brother, why don't you sleep? Did last night's incident scare you, afraid of nightmares? ”
Shaking his head, Zhao Chuanxin said, "It's not." It's just that the stimulation is too great, and I'm very sleepy, but I just can't sleep. ”
"Locks, also called beards, are bandits! Murder and arson, all kinds of evil. What a green forest you call yourself, in fact, everyone should be killed, don't feel ashamed. Zhao Zhongyi was rare and said a few more words.
Don't say it, it makes sense.
"Thank you, brother, I'll sleep in a while. You better go home and eat, I didn't bring your share of this cabbage. ”
"Haha, then I'm leaving."
When Zhao Chuanxin served the dishes and rice, Liu Guigui came over awkwardly.
"Passing on the salary, did you find it, he seems to have changed his loyalty."
After thinking about it, Zhao Chuanxin thought deeply: "Indeed." He didn't talk so much before. ”
It seems that he is not the only one who is stimulated.
So, in what way was Zhao Zhongyi stimulated?
Zhao Zhongyi returned home and showed a smile: "Why are you waiting for me?" Eat, eat. ”
He lifted the bowl and ate it with a bang.
The amount of food for practicing martial arts is large.
Legend has it that Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty was so poor that he couldn't afford to eat.
The word rice bucket seems to have hit him.
However, today, Zhao Zhongyi's appetite is exceptionally good.
"Eat slowly, you're too scary, don't eat your body." His mother-in-law looked at him dumbfounded.
Zhao Zhongyi waved his hand: "It's okay, how can you eat and eat bad body?" One more bowl! ”
"It's gone!"
“……”
After eating and cleaning up, his mother-in-law snuggled in his arms: "Master, you tell me the truth, what happened last night?" Why do you seem to be a different person when you come back? ”
"You're not afraid?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of what will happen to you. You're fine, and the rest aren't so scared. ”
"Hehe, I killed someone!"
"Huh? I saw the blood on the clothes you took off. Are you okay then? I don't think you're hurt, are you feeling uncomfortable? ”
"Nothing. Rest assured, things are settled now. In the future, as long as I am here, no one will come to harm you, no one! ”
Some people will be depressed in major changes, some people will be crazy and stupid, some people will become crazy and unscrupulous, and some people will find the meaning of life.
……
In the end, Zhao Chuanxin still fell asleep.
He didn't have nightmares, because he was so sleepy that he slept soundly.
Today, Liu Guigui and Zhao Zhongyi, who didn't work, came to Zhao Chuanxin's broken house, ready to help him pick up the house.
This can make it difficult for Zhao Chuanxin.
At first, he still thinks about being lazy. As soon as these two brothers came, how could he be lazy with peace of mind?
Second, they think that cleaning up the house is to repair the unsturdy places so that they can live in them. This is far from the residence that Zhao Chuanxin wants, right?
So, he had to pick some work for them to do.
"Brother, precious, you two helped me remove the wooden shingles on the roof, which is an eyesore and increases the load-bearing burden of the roof. Help me get some more grass and start the roof from scratch. I was afraid of heights, so I didn't dare to go up. ”
Afraid of heights, afraid to go up?
The two were directly speechless.
They have now discovered another characteristic of Zhao Chuanxin: lazy!
Liu Guigui asked, "Then what are you doing?" ”
"Me? I have an important task to do! I'll carve today's toys for the kids first, and then I'm going to go to the city with Carpenter Li and come back with some food. You two are here to help, so you have to arrange a meal for you, right? ”
Is this called an important task?
Yellow mud bricks are not enough, snot babies have to continue to work hard.
Zhao Zhongyi grabbed Zhao Chuanxin: "There is another matter." The day after tomorrow, I'm going to go on a trip with the caravan. Since you say, the cow steward is not a good person. So do you think I'm going or not? ”
"Go!" Zhao Chuanxin said categorically: "If you don't go, it may reveal that we know the truth." Now, the cow steward is still in the dark. Moreover, he knows the two of us, if something happens to you and I expose him, can he not be afraid?
However, if you go, you have to prepare for both. If the cow steward is a thief, and the real dog jumps over the wall and wants to harm you, you should also be careful, but this may be very small. If he doesn't move, you should not know anything, you can do whatever you have to do, and you will not have a penny for the salary you should get. ”
"Then I see." Zhao Zhongyi smiled.
This ancestor is really different, his smile is more than before, and his whole person is cheerful.
Zhao Chuanxin found Carpenter Li and got into his donkey cart.
"Master Li, what are you doing in the city?"
"Go to the city and buy some big and small wood paints, raw and cooked lacquer are not enough. There are also bits and pieces. ”
"By the way, I'd like to ask, furniture or something, how to paint?"
Carpenter Li obviously hesitated.
In general, housekeeping skills are not passed on.
However, what Zhao Chuanxin asked was not a particularly secret matter, and almost all carpenters understood it. Moreover, if you say a few words casually, you can become a carpenter, and the village is full of carpenters.
Thinking like this, he came to talk about it instead. Who doesn't want to show off in the field they are good at?
"This is a craft, lacquer! The paint is first painted, and the powder of the green brick is polished. Scrape the topcoat ......"
Carpenter Li is very confident, and many of the terms in this are not something that Zhao Chuanxin can understand.
So, he said a lot and said it very clearly.
And Zhao Chuanxin is definitely a qualified listener, and he wrote down everything in detail.
Then he asked: "So, if you polish it, there is no other way than green brick powder?" For example, do you use sandpaper? ”
"What sandpaper? Paper certainly can't sand wood. ...... that can be used with shallots"
Zhao Chuanxin knows that the scientific name is horsetail grass, also known as knotweed.
Along the way, he asked and listened.
Originally, he not only had work in his hands, but also had a lot of theoretical knowledge in his head. It's just that in this era, there is a lack of necessary tools, after all, there is not even sandpaper. However, the craftsmen at this time also had the wisdom of using local materials. There is no sandpaper, so the wood is sanded with fine surfaces filtered from green bricks and rough plants such as knotweeds.
Carpenter Li thought that he would not reveal the secret even if he had installed it once. As everyone knows, Zhao Chuanxin has made up for all the gaps in theoretical knowledge through conversations along the way.
If Carpenter Li knew the truth, it is estimated that tears would flow.
