brother of space

Our Chinese people, in the winter, even if there is no snow outside, but when the snow is very thick, they also like to meet up with friends, go to a hot pot restaurant to cook mutton, or stew it at home without going out Put on a pot, prepare some side dishes and rinse slowly.

Of course, if you add some big meat, such as roast chicken and duck, stewed and donkey meat, it will be even more beautiful!

Uncle Zhou and the old man named Big Brother Shen were obviously very assertive. When they were arranged to clean up the room, they also ordered lunch by the way.

Before Lin Wanru, the 'new' grandmother who led Zhang Jin and Grandpa Zhang, had finished introducing the main courtyard of the courtyard, the food was already on the table.

"Today is a bit rushed." Looking at the gourmet platter on the table that can be described as colorful and colorful, Zhang Jin had no time to be surprised by the word "luxury", when she heard that Aunt Liu, who was well-dressed and somewhat styled after the Ming Dynasty, expressed apology He said, "If the head of the sect said in advance that he would come, I will ask Lao Zhou and Xiao Shen to prepare all the materials for the banquet."

That's actually quite a lot, really!Zhang Jin wanted to say that although he didn't know how it tasted, just by looking at the beautiful platter, he knew that it could definitely be rated as a star.That's all for the food in Yao's star-rated hotel.

It's just that he secretly observed everyone present and found that almost no one showed any surprise!It seems that such a rich table is simply sparse and ordinary, it is shabby.

Shabby?Zhang Jin glanced at her calm-faced grandfather, as if she remembered that half a year ago, their family had difficulty even eating meat.

Although just now he finally learned from that Uncle Zhou why his grandfather would visit the big shots every once in a while. It stands to reason that he should be very rich, but in the end he always has no money in his pocket. reason.

But in any case, it is a fact that there was often no meat in the meals half a year ago.And now you are always acting so calm, so disgusted, so dismissive, is it really okay?

"Next time!" Lin Wanru smiled, "I like Uncle Liu's Buddha Jumping Over the Wall the most. This time I came here by the way, so there is no trouble."

Grandpa Zhang nodded, and as the host took the lead to pick up the chopsticks and said: "The soup is ready, everyone use the chopsticks."

Lin Wanru motioned to the four old men who still couldn't let go, and said, "Sister Liu Aunt Yun, and Brother Zhou Shushen, you are all welcome. As I said before, the reason I arranged for you to come and see this place is to hope that you will treat this place as your own home." , since it is your own home, naturally there is no distinction between high and low status, don't be restrained just because we come here, come on, let's do it together, there will be a long time in the future, we are a family here. Hurry up, don't do it again, you will starve me grandson."

Why is it me again?Zhang Jin lowered her head to express her dissatisfaction.

"Young master, this is embarrassing." Aunt Liu smiled, and then added a large piece of donkey meat to Zhang Jin with serving chopsticks, "Come on, the donkey meat here is very tender, young master, try it first."

"Thank you..." Zhang Jin paused and looked up at the well-dressed old lady who looked like a lady.

"There is also duck meat, from Quanjude, which is famous, but it is also famous now. The original master is tired, and the new ones are always made in a dishonorable way. It can't be compared with before. If the little master likes it, Let your old Shen make it for you another day. He has learned a lot from Quanjude." Sister Yun also used serving chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Zhang Jin.

Old man Shen laughed and said, "The head of the sect arranged for us to come to the capital. It's usually nothing. Alas, the people in the surrounding shops are all descendants of the former imperial chef. So I went to learn a few things."

"Then you have to have a good taste in the future." Lin Wanru said with a smile.

Uncle Zhou waved his hand: "We are just learning superficially, so I dare not ask Mrs. Young to look forward to it."

"Uncle Zhou, you don't have to be polite." Grandpa Zhang held up his glass and said, "I don't know about you, and I don't know about you. You were the one who coaxed Aunt Liu back then with that delicious food."

"..." Uncle Zhou paused when he heard the words, thinking that the old man seldom mentioned this matter to others.

Seeing this, Lin Wanru laughed.Mrs. Liu also covered her face and smiled, as if she was still the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who was shown her love by her lover.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Uncle Zhou quickly picked up the wine glass beside him and said: "Master, I haven't seen you for nearly 40 years, old slave, I thought... Fortunately, you will send a sum of money to the young lady every year, otherwise the old I really don’t know if I still have the courage to live to this day.”

"Pfft!" Grandpa Zhang sprayed directly, coughed several times, put down his wine glass and said, "Old Zhou, did you do it on purpose? Believe it or not, I will tell Aunt Liu about your grand ambitions back then."

"That..." Uncle Zhou quickly restrained the sadness he had just shown, turned to Zhang Jin and said, "Little master, you are not old, and Lao Zhou can't toast to you today, but Lao Zhou still wants to see you in his lifetime. I would like to offer you a toast with tea instead of wine."

"Yes, yes!" Old man Shen quickly picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "I should toast the young master. It's the first time we meet today, and I haven't asked the young master for a gift yet."

Well!Zhang Jin was stunned when he heard the words, and even forgot to swallow the meat in his mouth. He looked directly at Grandpa Zhang, because he lived in the new era, and he never thought of giving a greeting to anyone.Even if he gave it, in his consciousness, it was right for the four old people in front of him to give it to him.After all, is he older than him? It's like giving red envelopes during Chinese New Year.

It was just a flash of inheritance memory that told him that it seemed that in ancient times, in such a situation, he, the master, should give the old servant a greeting gift, not someone else.If others give it to him, it is overstepping.

"Haha!" Grandpa Zhang laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Old Shen, just now the head of your family said that we are a family, since we are a family, how can there be so many rules, and how old are the four of you together?" , how old is my grandson, do you have the nerve to ask him for a meeting gift?"

It's fine if Grandpa Zhang didn't say anything, but his stingy character was revealed when he said it.

Uncle Zhou frowned and said: "Young master, you are already a grandfather, how can you still behave like before, if you let the old man know about such unscrupulous behavior, you will be reprimanded again. This can't be done. And we You are originally an old generation, and you are walking in the world of ancient martial arts, so, today, you have to give this meeting gift."

The two old ladies covered their mouths and laughed when they heard the words.

Grandpa Zhang listened to the old man Zhou's words, as if he had returned to his youthful expression, and he looked at his grandson after a long time and said, "Second brother, since your grandpa Zhou said so, can you give me some greetings? It's not for anything else, just for If they can take care of grandma for you, they should give it to you. What kind of pills, jade tokens, whatever is convenient for you, give them like that."

When Lao Zhou heard Grandpa Zhang's words, he immediately had an expression of 'Master, how can you make small moves in front of me'.

If others help you take good care of your wife, should you give me a gift as a reward?He said that it is not convenient for him to do anything.Zhang Jin acted unfairly in his heart, but he knew that he would never get a fair son in front of his grandfather.And looking at the loving smiles on the faces of the four old people in front of him, he felt that if he was too stingy, it seemed, as if he would embarrass his grandfather a bit.

Scanning the four old men, he found that although the four men had different cultivation bases, the hidden injuries on their bodies were equally serious.Even this hidden injury is serious enough to hinder their cultivation.

Zhang Jin looked at his grandfather suspiciously, wanting to ask something.Before he could open his mouth, he heard the other party say: "Boy, although your grandfather is recognized as an iron cock, but for the four of them, your grandfather can't do it. Because without you Grandma Liu and Grandpa Zhou, It may be impossible for your grandfather to stand here at all. Back then, your grandfather was able to survive because of the danger of being abolished by these two.

And you Yun, uh, call it grandma too, the division is too clear, it is easy to confuse the juniors. "

Just say that you find it troublesome!The old servants who knew Grandpa Zhang thought amusedly in their hearts.

"...Your mother was born thanks to them! Hey, you young people don't like to hear things if you talk too much. But you just need to remember to treat them just like you treat your grandfather, grandpa and parents. alright."

The few old people did not speak at this moment, not because they wanted to accept the favor from Grandpa Zhang, but because they felt that such a festive day today should not be used to 'remember suffering'.

"I, I don't have many pills on me now." Zhang Jin thought for a while and said, "I, I see that several grandparents have hidden wounds on their bodies. I don't know if it is useful to restore the pill?"

"Great Redemption Pill?!" The people present exclaimed almost at the same time.

Grandpa Zhang said: "This kid also made it by chance."

Seeing that his grandfather objected, Zhang Jin quickly took out the ammunition.

The four old men and women didn't dare to take it at first. They didn't take it until Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Lin talked about threats and lures for a long time.

"You can take this medicine in the afternoon, and I will check it for you at that time. However, don't stay here, the indoor air is still not as good as outside the city. We are going to the suburbs in the afternoon. I remember Xiaoru said that there are A manor of our own. You can go wherever you want. With your cultivation base, it will only take a few hours." Seeing that the four of them had accepted the elixir, Grandpa Zhang showed a reassuring expression on his face.

Seeing this, Zhang Jin was also relieved, saying that he finally did not flatter his grandfather this time.

Lin Wanru saw that Zhang Jin just lowered his head to eat what was in his own bowl, and immediately became overwhelmed with compassion. He grabbed a large chopsticks of mutton, scalded it and handed it over.

"Second, don't be cautious, this is your future home. Although your grandfather thinks that you need to continue to hone outside for a few more years, grandma knows that your ability is not much weaker than when he was young." Lin Wanru said He said, "In this incident, I believe that if it weren't for you, the people in that car, including grandma, would have died."

"Master, what's the matter?" The four old men and women were immediately moved when they heard that something was threatening Lin Wanru's life.

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "What else can happen, some people know that Brother Zhang is coming, so they are restless."

"Damn it!" Uncle Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "According to my old man, we should have taken advantage of the chaos and wiped them all out. If we keep them, they will feel that they are great." He said to Grandpa Zhang, "Young master, you this time You can't be soft-hearted anymore."

Grandpa Zhang boiled several chopsticks of mutton, gave his wife two chopsticks, and ate one by himself, then raised his head and said, "Old Uncle Zhou, I will come back and naturally I will be sure that my Zhang family will turn around. You Just take good care of yourself with Aunt Liu in the future. By the way, help me look after the pharmacy. As for this kid, don’t worry about it. If you worry about it, you are praying for others. This is a master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. Otherwise—— , Oh! By the way, I heard that the Yang family has a fool recently."

The fool of the Yang family?The four old people present were all taken aback when they heard the words. They have been assigned to guard the house, so naturally they will pay attention to the movements of the capital when they are 'bored'.

Of course they knew about the idiots of the Yang family that Grandpa Zhang was talking about, but they didn't know the specific reason. It is said that they provoked people outside.

"No..." Uncle Zhou looked at Zhang Jin in horror, and the next second his face was full of excitement.

Zhang Jin realized later that his grandfather was talking about him, and then even forgot to eat the meat that was caught in his mouth just now, and looked at his grandfather with a stupid face.

"What an idiot." Grandpa Zhang hated the appearance of his 'scumbag' committing a crime the most, and immediately snorted coldly when he saw this, "You think I've gone in vain for the past two days." Knowing that my grandson is awesome!

"Second, you're amazing!" Lin Wanru, who came to her senses, hugged her grandson like a girl suddenly overwhelmed with surprise, "It's very grandma's demeanor, come, eat another piece of mutton. By the way, tell grandma Tell me, how did that kid offend you?"

Zhang Jin just figured out that his grandfather probably turned him into an idiot through others' guessing. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was hugged by the 'new' grandmother, and he was about to ask the bottom line.

It's just a pity that he would not tell the story and the reason of this matter even if he was killed.He felt that if he said it, his grandfather would be able to skin him.

Teenagers who sit and eat with a group of old men and old ladies are the happiest, because you almost don’t use chopsticks, whether it’s mutton, duck, donkey, pork, or other stewed meat, it will arrive in your bowl in good time Come.

Fortunately, Zhang Jin is in good physical condition now, and the contents of his stomach will be automatically and quickly converted into energy, so he won't be able to hold himself up no matter how much he eats. Otherwise, with the posture at noon today and being taken care of by five people at the same time, he will definitely be full to death .

After lunch, the two old men continued to take Zhang Jin and his grandfather to visit the courtyard.Because when Grandma Lin learned that Grandpa Zhang would spend the New Year with his grandson here this year, she and the two old ladies and old men went to prepare the yard where they would live in the New Year, and also arranged to buy new year's goods.

Since you want to celebrate the New Year here, you have to look a little bit better.It’s hard to say that after this ancient martial arts gathering, I used to be friends with the Zhang family, and I will come to visit if I want to be friends with the Zhang family in the future.They can't even have something decent to entertain people.

Moreover, the Qianji Sect where Lin Wanru works is also a prosperous sect. Every year, there are many people from the government, not to mention other ancient warriors who want to make friends with them under various banners. up.

Therefore, this year's goods must not only be prepared, but also prepared well and a lot.The time is really tight, but fortunately, money is easy to do.

"...This house is not big, but its location is very good. It is really rare to be placed in the capital. Although it is not comparable to our Zhang family in the capital... Uh! Master, I'm sorry!" Uncle Zhou who was talking about it, If you are not careful, you will be 'outspoken'.

Grandpa Zhang smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Zhou doesn't need to be like this. Who knew that the downfall of the Zhang family back then would not have been a blessing in disguise? It's a blessing in disguise, but it's not a blessing. Some things are in the past and they are in the past. You see, aren't we standing on the sidelines again now?" Together?"

Uncle Zhou nodded, glanced at Old Man Shen next to him and said, "Master, Miss Lin is really good."

"Hehe, of course I know." Grandpa Zhang said, "Your young master, can my vision be so bad?"

Zhang Jin: I didn't hear anything.

"Oh! I'm the one who's sorry for her, for so many years! Let her be alone!"

"Miss Lin doesn't care about these things. The old slave once heard her say that she has no regrets for doing these things for you."

"Hehe! Uncle Zhou, do you still remember the commandments given to me by my ancestors not long after I was born?"

Uncle Zhou was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and shook his head: "It's been too long, I don't remember. But I still remember the general meaning."

"It's good if you can remember the general meaning." Grandpa Zhang said, "As practitioners, if nothing happens, our life is always higher than that of ordinary people. I have a long life with her. I couldn't accompany her in the past few decades. I will be with her for decades, or even longer, and she understands."

"Hehe! When you are old, you just like to think too much." Uncle Zhou sighed.

Grandpa Zhang looked at the snow-covered garden with about half an acre of land in front of him, and said to Uncle Zhou and Old Man Shen after a long silence, "Let's go and have a look at that small yard. This will probably be a private residence in the future. "

"Young master, please." Uncle Zhou led the way in front, and at the same time did not forget to introduce, "The area of ​​the small courtyard is not as large as this side, but it is also as large as two acres of land. The entire seven or eight wing rooms on the right side are facing the street. As mentioned above, the street on the right will be positioned as a commercial street in the future. When we modify it, as long as the architectural style is not changed, we can do whatever we want. Residents on this street in the past two years have basically changed everything. Changed. The young lady meant to see your opinion, young master."

"Is this area designated as a protected area?" Grandpa Zhang said.

"That's right." Uncle Zhou said, "If not, we wouldn't be so easy to discuss. We originally wanted Prince Gong's Mansion."

"Don't think about that palace, this place is very good. After all, this place will only be our family's storefront anyway, and the real ancestral house will still be in the mountains in the future." Grandpa Zhang nodded. Pack up, after this party is over, I am ready to start, if possible, try to open in March."

"Good young master. This old slave has been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"Don't worry, the newly opened Holy Medical Hall will not let you down." With his grandson here, what else could they do without a panacea?

Zhang Jin didn't know that he was accidentally tricked by his grandfather again, and he was still thinking about when he would see Dongfang.

Because there are too many things to arrange and prepare, the plan to go shopping in the shopping mall in the afternoon was also shelved.After visiting the courtyard house, the time is almost three or four in the afternoon.

The young disciples that Lin Wanru called from elsewhere to take care of the house have also arrived. Grandpa Zhang waved his hand and led the four old men to the manor in the suburbs.

As for Lin Wanru and Zhang Jin, they took another car to Longting Villa.

This martial artist gathering is held by the country no matter what. Although it will start tomorrow, the Zhang family must have been quiet for decades, so it's better not to be too high-profile.
