Chapter 125: Looking at Zhuangzi
The next day, after Hongdou helped to finish the food he needed at home, he took Xiaoya to the Zhuangzi given by the Zhao family.
After that, he took the title deed and took it to the Zhuangzi outside the town to check it out.
"Miss Xie, this Zhuangzi is not far from the town, if you drive a carriage, you can get there in two quarters of an hour, and it is convenient for you to go and check it at any time later."
Ah Chang sat outside the carriage and introduced the situation of Zhuangzi to Hongdou.
This Zhuangzi is the private property of his son-in-law, and he will go to sit on weekdays, and when it was first built, he also specially invited someone to see the feng shui.
The environment is exceptional.
Hongdou heard that the distance was not far away, and he was satisfied, but he didn't expect this second son Zhao to be quite generous.
"Brother Meng, you can come and stay today, if we see what needs to be changed in a while, you can just keep an eye on it here."
Meng Da nodded, signaling that he knew.
When they arrived at the destination, a few people got off the carriage and took a look, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment was quiet, and it was really a good place.
Ah Chang led the way in front and knocked on the door of Zhuangzi first.
The one who opened the door was an uncle, and he was also the old head of the village who had been helping Zhao Ergongzi guard Zhuangzi.
"Uncle Qu, I'll bring the girl from the Xie family over to see Zhuangzi."
Ah Chang had already sent someone to inform the people on Zhuangzi in advance, so Uncle Qu was not surprised.
The area of Zhuangzi is not very large, but the design is ingenious, there are three courtyards, and it must be enough in the early stage, after all, red beans are mainly used to make tea and store tea.
Aunt Qu came in with a few bowls of water at this time, and greeted happily:
"Everyone is tired all the way, drink some water to quench your thirst."
Red Bean took it with a smile and thanked him.
Ah Chang took the opportunity to introduce: "Uncle Qu and Aunt Qu have been helping Gongzi guard Zhuangzi before, and they are very familiar with Zhuangzi and the environment and people near Zhuangzi. ”
"What Gongzi means is that the other subordinates in Zhuangzi will take it away and make their own arrangements.
The two old men also hope that Miss Xie will take them in, after all, it is also beneficial for you to have someone who is familiar with the neighborhood. ”
"They are used to living here, and they have no children or daughters under their knees, and if they change places, the son can't bear it, and the uncle and aunt are afraid that they won't be adapted."
After Ah Chang finished speaking, he waited for Hongdou's reaction, and Uncle Qu and Aunt Qu were also afraid of being disliked.
After all, the two of them are old, and I'm afraid they won't have a few years to live.
They are afraid that the new owner will dislike them, and they will not be able to do heavy work.
These two old men look very peaceful, they have been here for so long, if they drive them away directly, it will be pitiful, and what Brother Achang said is right.
They are familiar with the surrounding environment, and it is convenient to have them.
"Zhao Gongzi has spoken in person, so I naturally have no opinion, and we really need manpower recently."
"If we encounter something unclear in the future, we have to ask Uncle Qu and Aunt Qu."
Hongdou looked at the two old men and said with a smile.
When Uncle Qu and Aunt Qu heard this, they knew that the new owner had agreed, and they were overjoyed, and they immediately knelt down to meet their master.
But he was stopped by Red Bean.
Although she can adapt to this world and have subordinates to serve her master, she still has some reluctance in her heart to let the old man kneel in front of her.
"You don't have to be polite, after all, the two of you are older, and you have seen more things than me, if you are really happy, we will mention more in the future."
Hongdou said and introduced Meng Da and Xiaoya, who came with him today:
"Her name is Xiaoya, she is my sister, this is Meng Da, and he will live in Zhuangzi in the future."
"There are two other ones, they are Meng Da's younger brothers, and they will come together later, so that you also have a companion."
Uncle Qu and Aunt Qu smiled and should be, and there will be no so lonely when there are many people.
Anyway, they stayed here to have a place to live, and they got used to it, so they didn't want to move their nest.
I still know how long I can live, and they listen to the master's words, so naturally they won't have any opinions.
"Uncle Qu, Aunt Qu is good, in the future, the heavy work on the Zhuangzi, although you leave it to me and my two younger brothers to do, we have the strength."
Meng Da took the initiative to talk to the two old men, and he also made a preliminary positioning of the arrangements in Zhuangzi after that.
This is satisfying to the red beans. No matter who the previous owner of this Zhuangzi was, but now in her name, it is hers.
Her things, she naturally has to let others control them.
However, she is not dissatisfied with the two old people, as long as they behave in the future and do not behave as demons, she will support the two of them until they die.
"Okay, okay, my wife and I used to be mainly responsible for the hygiene of the village and the reception of guests.
I mainly guard the door, watch the house, and also have some bamboo weaving skills. ”
"My wife cooks a good meal, and she will also do some needlework, so let's designate not to eat white rice, hehehe."
Qu Dale said hehehe, they have also seen the new owner, so naturally they also want to express their heartfelt feelings, and talk about their own usefulness by the way.
And the new owner looked young and kind, and they were also relieved.
Hongdou didn't expect Uncle Qu to have bamboo weaving skills, which is great, she needs a lot of bamboo plaques in the future.
Aunt Qu can also cook, and now Zhuangzi is responsible for cooking for people.
But as soon as he heard about the cooking, Hongdou was really hungry, and then said with a smile:
"It's just right, we haven't eaten yet, why don't you ask Aunt Qu to cook a few home-cooked dishes?"
"Let's finish eating, and then ask Uncle Qu to take us around the neighborhood to see which ones belong to the scope of Zhuangzi, how about it?"
Aunt Qu happily said "eh", and then rushed to the kitchen to get busy.
Aunt Qu naturally has no opinion, just give her the opportunity to show her skills.
If the owner likes the rice she cooks, it can also make the owner take a look.
Today, she is bound to explain her best dishes.
Uncle Qu took a few people to continue to walk around the Zhuangzi, introducing them one by one.
The red bean happened to see the bamboo basket that had not been finished in a corner, thinking that Uncle Qu had not finished it.
"Uncle Qu, is this what you did?"
Uncle Qu saw that Hongdou picked up the bamboo basket he hadn't finished, and said with a smile:
"Yes, proprietor. In the past, my wife and I were mainly busy working in the village, and someone else did the rest. ”
"So when I'm free, I'll make up something so that everyone can use it, and I don't have to spend any more money to go out and buy it."
The red beans looked at the unfinished bamboo basket in their hands, and they were indeed very finely knitted, and some people wanted to sell this craft.
"Uncle Qu, can you do it? Used to spread beans and the like, larger? ”
After that, she spread out the tea leaves, which required a lot, if Uncle Qu could do it, she would leave it to him to do it, and she would save trouble.
"I'll do that too, if the owner likes it, I'll make it as soon as possible and show it to you?"
Uncle Qu saw that the red bean seemed to want that, so he took the initiative to ask to make it and take a look.
Hongdou naturally responded, she really needed this thing, but Uncle Guangqu would definitely be too late to do it alone, so she still had to buy some back:
"Okay, Uncle Qu, please make one as soon as possible in the next two days, I can help."
Uncle Qu took over the task of the new owner on the first day, and he was happy.
This shows that he and his wife are still very useful in the eyes of the new owner.
Don't worry about being disliked by the owner.
"Eh, I'll make it soon. Don't delay you. ”
