Chapter 60: Sixty Days of Being an Old Lady
The old lady is bright, and the good charity is also bright.
Now he can only promise that the old lady will have a silver reward after handing in the rice transplanter, and as for the thirty percent profit, he can't guarantee it. It's up to an adult to decide.
The old lady had no objection to this, she had hoped to make a little money with the rice transplanter. As for the three percent of the profits, it doesn't matter if there is not.
After getting down to business, the old lady had to pull Shanshi to the house for a light meal anyway.
Good charity is a foreign man, and the old lady keeps the rules and does not let the female relatives come to the table. Only Hu Laosan and Hu Laosi were accompanied.
As for Boss Hu?
The appearance of a blue nose and swollen face affected the "family appearance" too much, and the old lady specially asked Hu Baozhu to look at him, so as not to spoil the old lady's good deeds.
The eight dishes and one soup in the small courtyard of the farmhouse can be described as the highest standard of hospitality.
This is not a random patchwork, four hot and four cool, pig's heart, liver, ears, and then add cucumber and roast meat for four cold dishes; Stir-fried fat sausages, four-happiness meatballs, sloping pork segments, and fried tenderloin are four hot dishes; Accompanied by pork knuckle soup made of corn and soybeans, sprinkled with green onions, it is extraordinarily fragrant.
Shanshi has long seen that the old lady is extraordinary, and now he sees the Hu family's eating specifications, which is even more eye-opening. This table of dishes, even if it is placed in Lin'an Mansion, is of a proper and high standard. After hearing it again, the Hu family actually produced two talents, and they expressed deep admiration for the old lady's godson.
"Lord Shanshi, try this goat's milk jelly. This is my granddaughter's handiwork, and I can't eat it anywhere else. ”
The old lady spared no effort to promote Hu Yan'er's goat milk jelly, Shanshi is a person from the government, maybe this is a shortcut to the road of the princess of the farm.
Shanshi felt that the old lady was full of sincerity, and her attitude was soothed. He smiled shyly at the old lady, "I'm just a doorman, and I can't afford the name of 'adult', so the old lady calls me 'good charity'." ”
"Taste it." The old lady changed her title from kindness, and people wanted to be close to her, but she couldn't ask for it.
The smooth goat panna nifer looks like a liquid, but it tastes different immediately. The mouth is full of milky aroma, which is a completely different taste from goat's milk. Shanshi has always had a sweet tooth, and he can't stop eating a bite.
"It's delicious, it's better than the dim sum of 'Furong Zhai'."
He praised him vigorously, smiling like a teenager. "Furong Zhai" is a time-honored pastry shop in Lin'an Mansion, which is recognized as a good taste by dignitaries and nobles. But when she eats it, Hu Yan'er's goat milk jelly tastes better.
The old lady smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyes, and she was even more kind to Shanshi.
With the enthusiasm of the Hu family, Shanshi returned to the county seat. In a few flashes, he entered a mansion that looked ordinary on the outside.
There is a hole in the courtyard, the pavilions and pavilions cast by the rockery are quite meaningful, a sheep intestine path leads directly to the pavilion in the courtyard, and the road is full of delicate flowers that are blooming brightly. Five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, extremely strict.
Unchecked, he walked quickly to the pavilion.
In the gazebo sat a man with a book in one hand and leaning on a pillar on his side. The sun was warm and sprinkled over the pillar on the bridge of his tall nose. The skin is flawless, and even the tiny fluff is shiny. The slender fingers are like fine white jade, from the eyebrows to the hands, all of which are exquisite.
Good charity came to the wind and fire, saluted, and said busily:
"Master, I see that old lady again!"
This is not the first time Seonshi has seen the old lady, nor is it the second time.
The first time we met, it was in the restaurant where Hu Lao Er worked. The old lady's sentence "Blessings and misfortunes lurk, and it is not a good thing to be too persistent" attracted the attention of Shanshi; The second time was the incident between the old lady and the third young master of the "Sun Family Clothing", and Shanshi was also in Yaxing at that time. An old lady who felt quite knowledgeable before, suddenly became a philistine and difficult.
Shanshi felt strange and took it back as an interesting thing to amuse the master.
At that time, the master smiled, and Shanshi became interested in the old lady from then on.
The master of his family has a tense face all the year round, and he is easy not to show pleasure. The old lady can make the master laugh, and she is definitely a baby.
Later, it was about the rice transplanter, but I didn't expect it to be related to the old lady.
Shanshi can't wait to share what he has seen and heard with his master:
"It turned out that she was the one who invented the 'rice transplanting machine', and today I tried it myself, and I planted three acres of seedlings in two hours."
Shanshi follows his master on weekdays and knows a little about farming. Three acres of land in two hours, it's not too powerful!
Shanshi said with his eyebrows fluttering, he actually didn't notice that every time he mentioned the old lady, not only did the master smile, but he was also very active.
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but wonder, what kind of charm did the old lady of the Hu family have, which could make his "unkind" guards empathetic?
Gently putting down the book in his hand, Zhao Yuan glanced at the corners of Shanshi's mouth, and lightly opened his thin lips:
"Eaters have short mouths."
In a word, the sexuality is determined.
Shanshi was not afraid, touched his mouth, and smiled to please:
"Hehe, I can't hide anything from my master. Before leaving, I put ten taels of silver in the old lady's house. ”
I couldn't resist the old lady's enthusiasm, and I ate a meal. But good charity, as his name suggests, will never take advantage of others. He secretly stuffed the ten taels of silver into the old lady's window, and the old lady would find out sooner or later.
"The Hu family's rice is so delicious, I haven't eaten that goat milk jelly in Lin'an Mansion."
Good charity, smash it, smash it, and can't help but taste it. Catching a glimpse of the master's smiling appearance, Shanshi immediately corrected:
"Still, master. The food is delicious, and the food is indeed a good thing. ”
If it weren't for the old lady's invention of the rice transplanter, he wouldn't have cared so much.
"Got it all figured out?" Zhao Yuan lowered his face coldly.
The rice transplanter was reported by "Lu Banxing", which was a good thing, but who expected that there would be hidden secrets in it. If it weren't for Shanshi meeting the old lady, maybe he would really be fooled by "Lu Banxing".
Dare to fool Zhao Yuan? The group of "Lu Banxing" don't want to die!
"Got it figured out."
As soon as Shanshi made a move, the conspiracy of "Lu Banxing" was nowhere to hide. The most important thing here is Master Zhang's problem, and the others are just accomplices. As for Hu Laosi, he was fired too unjustly, and he didn't steal the teacher at all!
By the way, Shanshi also raised the question of Sanchengli that the old lady said, and Zhao Yuan was stunned:
"Sancheng Li ......" This old lady has a big appetite.
Zhao Yuan looked expressionless, and Shanshi, who was familiar with him, knew that the master was actually in a good mood, so he tentatively helped:
"The Hu family has a large population, with a total of only 30 acres of land, and it is really difficult to feed two Xiucai."
In order to entertain him, the table was probably made with all the inventory at home. There is no need to say much, just having to feed two Xiucai made Zhao Yuan understand the difficulties of the Hu family.
In these days, you can't study unless you're rich or expensive. It's not that the government restricts, but it's really powerless.
From enlightenment to scientific research, it takes ten years, to say the least, and a lot of money needs to be invested during this period.
And if you don't get into the exam in the past ten years, you need to invest more. At this time, it is difficult for ordinary farmers to maintain. And the Hu family also produced two talents, so you can imagine how much hardship it takes.
Zhao Yuan has always respected scholars, and he can't help but look down on the Hu family. Listening carefully to Shanshi's story about the two Xiucai of the Hu family, he learned that the two Xiucai were still two generations, and he also admired the old lady.
The old lady's courage is immeasurable to let her children go to school.
That's right, only such an old lady can invent a rice transplanter in a unique way.
