Gu Chao, the reborn little brother

: "It's fine if you don't say it, it's fine if you don't say it."

"My engagement is not a secret. It's just that not many people know about it now. It doesn't matter if you know about it. It's not a big deal. Besides, my parents are gone, and Xiao Rui has someone she likes again. This marriage probably doesn't count," Chu Ming said again.

"If Chu Rui likes you, are you willing to marry him?"

"If my parents were still here, I guess they would. After all, the fate of my parents is greater than the heavens, but now, they won't." Chu Ming spoke truthfully, and every word and every word was the truest thought in his heart.

"Why?" Gu Chao asked, but his heart beat faster suddenly. He seemed to have some different expectations.

"I want to marry someone I like." When Chu Ming said, for the first time today, his dark eyes looked directly at Gu Chao.

Gu Chao felt a sudden burst of heat on his face, even the cold wind of this winter couldn't blow it away.

Gu Chao really felt that he was really purified by the simple life in this world. He obviously lived more than [-] years longer than Chu Ming. Dasha blushed with embarrassment when he said something unclear.

However, this kind of thumping feeling made him feel slightly sweet in his heart, just like eating rock candy red dates.

┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄

When Gu Chao walked back to the back room, Dr. Ning took out the chessboard and black and white chess pieces from nowhere, and sat and stood with Gu Huai, the old and the young.Gu Chao took a closer look, and saw that the arrangement of the chess pieces should be playing backgammon again.

It was the first time for Gu Huai to come into contact with this kind of puzzle game, and he found it quite novel. Although he fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly, he couldn't stop playing. When it was halfway through Yin's hour, Gu Chao asked Gu Huai to stop and prepare to go home. , but the little man's small dark green eyes are staring at the chess pieces, obviously he hasn't had enough fun yet.

Doctor Ning smiled, and looked at Gu Huai with great satisfaction, "Xiao Huai has good qualifications, and with the teaching of a thoughtful person like Brother Chao, he will become a great weapon in the future. This chessboard and chess pieces, just treat it as me. This old man gave you a gift, take it back."

After hearing this, Gu Huai touched the smooth chessboard, then looked back at Gu Chao, with longing eyes.

"Doctor Ning is sending you off, not me. You can decide whether to accept it or not." Gu Chao smiled, seeing every bit of Gu Huai's recent growth, and felt relieved. heart.

"Thank you, Dr. Ning!" Gu Huai said happily now, holding the chessboard tightly with both hands.

Gu Chao and Gu Huai took this gift from Dr. Ning and left. Dr. Ning took a sip of tea slowly, looking at Chu Ming up and down with burning eyes.

"Have you tasted the rare thing Chao Geer brought?"

"Taste it."

"Do you think it's sweet?"

"It's wrapped in sugar, it's very sweet."

"Even if it's not wrapped in sugar, you'll think it's sweet. Brother Chao made it himself." Dr. Ning smiled narrowly.

It was only then that Chu Ming realized that he had fallen into the pit dug by Dr. Ning again. He was not angry, but his face turned dark red. He was so careful about Gu Chao, that Dr. Ning After trying it on at a glance, if he was secretive, he would appear hypocritical.

But there is one thing that Chu Ming still wants to talk about.

"Uncle Ning, it's okay for you to make fun of me, but don't say anything about kissing Brother Chao for me."

"What's the matter. There's nothing to say about this. I didn't talk about it today. Are you disappointed?"

Dr. Ning looked at Chu Ming again, although he only adopted this child when he was ten years old, but this person has a pure personality, and there is nothing he can't see through if he has such a little concern in everything.

When Chu Ming came yesterday, Dr. Ning told Chu Ming that he would marry Brother Chao on his behalf. Chu Ming has no parents, and Brother Chao’s mother is gone. It’s better to let him decide the marriage. , Chu Ming refused at that time.But when Chu Ming came again today, Dr. Ning brought up this matter again, and even told Chu Ming that he had made a deal today!

This is the fundamental reason why Chu Ming has been acting uncharacteristically today.

"Uncle Ning!" Chu Ming called out in a low voice, with a serious and deep expression, "Brother Chao is more suitable, I am not worthy."

Dr. Ning was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he let out a long sigh. He helped everything he could, but Chu Ming felt that he had to go over by himself, because no one could help him.

┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄

On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Chao dressed as usual and got up to boil a pot of hot water for washing, but when he opened the door, he saw a person squatting in front of his house.

"Weiwei, why didn't you knock on the door when you came?"

"Hey," Song Wei grinned at Gu Chao, "I'm afraid you're still asleep, so I won't wake you up. I'll just wait at the door."

Song Wei stood up as he spoke, but his body trembled unsteadily, and Gu Chao quickly reached out to support him.

"Foot...my foot is numb." Song Wei's eyebrows were wrinkled because of the pain and soreness on his feet, but the smile on his face didn't fade at all.

Gu Chao helped Song Wei into the room and sat down, then squatted in front of him and pinched his legs. It was only a short while before dawn, and Song Wei had already squatted at the door of his house and his legs were numb. How early did he come here?

Gu Chao looked at Song Wei's radiant look, "Weiwei, did something good happen? I see you are happy."

"Yesterday, my mother told me that the matchmaker said that it would be better to find a husband for the new year, and the other party also felt that the marriage should have been done years ago, so it was decided that today, that person will come over in person to formally say goodbye."

When Song Wei talked about that person, his expression was somewhat shy.

The date of the door-to-door marriage was chosen in a hurry. Liang Guangxiu only told Song Wei yesterday that Song Wei had tossed and turned last night, and woke up before dawn this morning. He lay with his eyes open and started to think about things. Xi, simply smeared and got up, and went to the gate of Gu Chao's house early to wait for Gu Chao to get up.

Song Wei has been waiting for this marriage for too long. The brothers younger than him in the village are all married and have children. Finally, there is someone who doesn't dislike his half face. He really can't help it Want to talk about something.

"Weiwei, you have such a good heart, I believe the other party will be a good person."

Song Wei listened, and smiled brightly again.Although his heart was full of anticipation, there was still some faint worry. Gu Chao's simple words gently swept away the uneasiness in his heart.

When the legs returned to normal, Song Wei followed Gu Chao to the kitchen, like Gu Chao's little tail, until his mother called his name in the yard and asked him to go over to make breakfast, Song Wei was fast Step back home.

He heard the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong coming from the Song family early in the morning, Liang Guangxiu stood in the yard ordering Song Wei to clean this and that, and kept saying to everyone passing by, flaunting that today is Song Wei's engagement Days, the troubles made Song Weiwei feel embarrassed.

Until it was almost noon, a middle-aged aunt and a strange young man appeared in front of Song's house. Gu Chao pretended to tidy up the yard while approaching Song Wei's house. He seemed to be sizing up the young man. man. .

I remember Song Wei said that this man was 22 years old, and he was an honest farmer. Gu Chao looked at him and felt that he was almost the same. Carrying a pair of poles, both ends of the pole are full of things, which should be the food grown by myself.

Liang Guangxiu looked at these things with disgust, but the man just smiled honestly, and entered Song's house together with his middle-aged aunt.

19|018 Gu Yong confesses

Gu Yong felt that in the past 16 years since he was born, although he has not lived a life of wealth and luxury, he is also at the level of a young master who has no worries about food and clothing. Who made him reincarnate well? He was born in the home of Gu Wu, a landlord. As Gu Wu's first child, he grew up surrounded by everyone's doting.

Gu Wu's educational philosophy is that it doesn't matter if children are a little bit skinny, as long as they don't do things like murder and arson.So Gu Yong has no more scruples. Relying on Gu Wu's power, he has been domineering in Gu's village since he was a child, but what he did was just pluck the chicken feathers of this family today, and trample the newly planted ones tomorrow. Maizi, the biggest evil is to bully those children who don't listen to him.

Among all the children he bullied, Gu Yong especially liked to provoke Gu Chao, who was honestly bowing his head and looking cowering, because when bullying Gu Chao, the ugly Song Wei who was always by his side would act like Like a hen protecting the chicks, she rushed out, stood in front of that coward Gu Chao, and quarreled with him with a serious face.

Song Wei, who is very cocky, was born with a birthmark on half of his face. As he got older, the birthmark didn't get smaller, but also got bigger along with it. Half of his face was red, so it was obviously a rare thing. My little brother, but he is already so old, and no one is willing to marry him.

Everyone in the village called Song Wei ugly behind his back, and every time Gu Yong quarreled with Song Wei, he would call him ugly in front of him.But Song Wei didn't care at all, and deliberately turned the side of the face full of birthmarks, squeezed the face into an extremely ugly appearance to scare Gu Yong.

When Gu Yong was still young, he was really frightened a few times. After returning home for several days, he forced to sleep in the same bed with his mother. Later, he was kicked out of bed by Gu Wu. Completely honest.

Later, he was frightened more times, and Gu Yong was also immune to Song Wei's tricks. Most people in Gu's village respected him because he was Gu Wu's son, but Song Wei, who had always been against him, was just like this. He has always remembered.

Gu Yong has been living this noisy life until early winter of this year, when he met the coward Gu Chao again at the entrance of the village, and "accidentally" caused him to fall into the river.Because of his previous notoriety, everyone thought he did it on purpose, but Gu Yong was quite aggrieved in his heart, let alone whether it was "intentional" or "accidental", he didn't even touch Gu Chao's clothes.

That day, Gu Yong and several young masters who had been following him "doing evil" at the entrance of the village met Gu Chao at the entrance of the village. At first glance, it is bullying the small with the big, and bullying the few with the more.

Gu Yong looked around, but he didn't see Song Wei who had been protecting Gu Chao all the time, he suddenly felt bored, and he no longer had the idea of ​​bullying others.

So that day, Gu Yong didn't want to make a move at all, but Gu Chao was full of psychological shadows towards Gu Yong, thinking of what his mother said, he can't be offended but he can bear it, and take a step back in everything.

Seeing that Gu Yong hadn't moved, Gu Chao turned around and wanted to run, but it was snowing and the ground was wet and slippery. Gu Chao staggered and fell to the edge of the river embankment. Gu Yong naturally wanted to reach out and grab him. He caught him, but failed to catch him, and Gu Chao was also unlucky, he fell off the embankment and broke through the ice, and just fell into the icy water.

Gu Yong became anxious at once, seeing Gu Chao thumping in the ice hole, the others had fled long ago, Gu Yong still had a little desire to save people, so he kept jumping around in a hurry by the river. His companions also fled.Fortunately, Chu Ming came. Without any hesitation, the man took off his coat and plunged into the river.

Gu Yong had been waiting anxiously by the river, and when Chu Ming lifted Gu Chao out of the water, he also helped out on the bank, and the two of them worked together to drag Gu Chao ashore.

From the actual situation, Gu Chao's fall into the river can almost be said to be just Gu Chao's slippery feet and bad luck. It has nothing to do with Gu Yong, but who made him notorious? Gu Chao's fall into the water As soon as it spread, for some reason, it became the version that Gu Yong pushed Gu Chao into the river.

Gu Yong couldn't argue with anything, and what was even more exasperating was that even his father, Gu Wu, taught him a lesson without listening to his explanation, and was grounded for several days.

After Gu Chao recovered, Gu Yong was allowed to leave the house after receiving Gu Wu's orders, and went to Gu Chao's house with his things to apologize. Gu Chao, however, told him firmly.

"I believe you, you are not careful."

Gu Yong's heart was bubbling with joy at that time, feeling that finally someone was willing to believe him. He was so simple-minded that he never thought that Gu Chaoben was the person involved. Of course he knew how he fell into the river, so how could he put the blame on him? What about him?

Since the incident in Gu Chao, Gu Yong also thought about the 16 years of his life for the first time. Except for those bad reputations that cannot be erased, he seems to have left nothing behind.

In this way, Gu Yong became enlightened by a blessing in disguise, and he didn't bother to be with the group of young men who "do evil and evil".

Gu Wu also paid attention to Gu Yong's changes, and was relieved in his heart. He felt that his son had finally grown up, so he started to take Gu Yong out together to let him learn business matters.

Gu Yong's life suddenly broke through the small Gujia Village. The outside world is bustling and full of all kinds of temptations, but after the freshness wears off, he prefers the simple and quiet Gujia Village, and he understands a little bit Why did my father choose to go back to his family village and settle down.

Gu Yong felt that not only he was changing, but also the people around him, especially that coward Gu Chao.

The person who didn't even dare to raise his head and say a word to him suddenly became cheerful after the accident of falling into the water. Not only was he not afraid of him, but he even laughed at him.Gu Yong didn't expect that that timid little face would become so beautiful after the fear disappeared, and he felt embarrassed after looking at it several times.

Gu Yong felt that the one thing that hadn't changed was Song Weile, who was still guarding Gu Chao's side all the time, fighting against him in the same way, and not looking like a little brother in the same way.

Gu Yong originally thought that the relationship between them would continue like this, but he didn't expect that on the day of Laba Festival, when they met in Xiangyun Buzhuang by chance, they would learn the news that Song Wei was going to be engaged.

That day Gu Yong was surprised and a little flustered. Although he was still the same on the surface, Song Wei felt uncomfortable even if he lost, but when he thought of Song Wei, he would be someone else's husband in the future, he suddenly felt Somewhat empty.

This feeling is too subtle, Gu Yong can't express it, but at least he understands in his heart, even if he and Song Wei bickered as soon as they met, it looked like an enemy, but he had already regarded Song Wei as a friend in his heart .

So now that Song Wei is getting engaged, he is so reluctant, and feels weird.

Especially that afternoon, when they were visiting the temple fair in Wenshui Town together, those people looked at the birthmark on Song Wei's face with strange eyes and pointed at him. How uncomfortable the taste of discrimination is, so when one of the vendors insulted Song Wei with those ugly words, he couldn't help arguing with the vendors!

Now that Song Wei is his friend, of course he has to protect him, how can he be bullied by outsiders!

After figuring this out, the strange feeling in Gu Yong's mind also dissipated.

Coincidentally, Gu Yong had been learning how to read account books from the shopkeeper in Wenshui Town a few days ago. The day Song Wei's husband came to say goodbye was the day Gu Yong returned to his home village. Father, there is no Gu Yong who is old or young in the Gu Family Village who he doesn't know, because it is a new face, so he took a few extra glances.

The man was carrying a shoulder pole and followed behind a middle-aged aunt. He looked honest and honest. He was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, but he kept smiling.

Gu Yong brought the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Antai Bakery from Wenshui Town. Both Gu Chao and Song Wei love to eat it. He planned to send the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Gu Chao’s house first, so when he entered Gu’s Village, Gu Yong walked in the direction of Gu Chao’s house. But the grandfather with a strange face was walking in front of him.

When he arrived at the door of Song Wei's house, Gu Yong saw Song Wei's mother standing at the door of his yard from a distance, and greeted people warmly when he saw someone coming, while Song Wei leaned against the door of his own gift and did not come out.

It turned out that these two were guests of Song Wei's family.

Gu Yong was no longer curious, so he continued to go to Gu Chao's house. When he first arrived, Gu Chao was also looking in the direction of Song Wei's house in his own yard. He greeted Gu Chao, and then the two entered Gu Chao's house together. .

Gu Chao was sewing clothes while chatting with Gu Yong, while talking, Gu Yong's eyes couldn't help but look at the semi-finished garment in Gu Chao's hand that was still being sewn.

Gu Yong knew that Gu Chao made this bright red dress for Song Wei so that he could wear it when he got married.

"Brother Chao, what were you looking at in the yard just now? Is that father with a face a relative of Song Wei's family?"

"It's not a relative. That father is the one who invited a matchmaker to come to the house a few days ago. Today, he came to the door in person. It can be regarded as a formal engagement between the two families. Song Wei said that the other party hopes to get married a few years ago. It is estimated that the date will be decided today. It’s over, there are only a few days left, and my clothes haven’t been finished yet, so it looks like I’m going to speed up.”

Gu Chao picked up the [-]% to [-]% finished wedding gown, shook it by the shoulders, compared the size with left and right, and continued to put it down to sew when he felt that there was no problem.

It turned out that the father was Song Weilai's husband, and the subtle feeling in Gu Yong's heart surged up again.

He chatted with Gu Chao for a while, then put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake he brought on the table of Gu Chao's house, and left. When he walked back past Song Wei's house, Gu Yong couldn't help but take a few more glances. , lively voices came from inside, it seems that the two families should have a good talk, and he should be happy for Song Wei, after all, the marriage came with great difficulty.

should be happy...

20|020 Gu Chao sewing

That afternoon, not long after noon, the father and middle-aged aunt who came to be engaged to Song Wei left. The two families said goodbye at the gate of Song Wei's house with happy smiles. The two walked a little further away. Song Wei also sneaked out of his house and walked towards Gu Chao's house.

When Song Wei came in, Gu Chao was sewing. He raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a smile that couldn't be hidden on Song Wei's face. Looking at the crescent moon, Gu Chao understood in his heart that Song Wei was quite satisfied with the fiancé whom he met for the first time today.

As if infected by Song Wei's joy, Gu Chao couldn't help smiling happily. He nimbly turned his fingers holding the needle and thread, tied a beautiful pea knot at the end of the thread, and then bit the end of the thread with his teeth. Broken, the needle is inserted back into the needle.

"Weiwei, come here and try on the size." Gu Chao held the skirts on both sides and opened the clothes so that Song Wei could wear them without backhanding.

Although Gu Chao has good needlework, he usually just sews and embroiders some patterns. He has never made a complete dress by himself. Song Wei's red wedding dress is the first one Gu Chao made. The meeting time was short, so Gu Chao felt somewhat uneasy, worried that he would not be able to do well.

So every time Song Weilai, Gu Chao would let him try it out, and if it was wider or tighter, he could change it right away.

Over the past few days, Song Wei has also gotten used to it. He took off the outermost cotton padded jacket and put it on with the help of Gu Chao. He opened his hands and let Gu Chao check them. The two talked while trying on the clothes. .

"Weiwei, have you talked to that person?"

"Well, after lunch, Dad drank too much. When E-Mu sent Dad back to the room, that person said a few words to me."

"What did you say?"

"He said his name was Qin Datian. When he was very young, his parents were gone. There were two younger brothers who were fathers and sons. He raised them all by himself. There was no money in the family, but each had five acres. If I get married, he can still apply to the village chief for another five acres of land, which is for me, and I can plant whatever I want."

"It's good to be an older brother, he's better at taking care of others."

After reading the front, Gu Chao asked Song Wei to turn around and continue to check the hem of the clothes at the back.

"I think so too, just like Brother Chao, who treats Xiao Huai so well, and that person even said that the food I cook is delicious." Thinking of this, Song Wei almost burst into laughter.

"Is the date set?"

"It's decided, it will be on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. The matchmaker, Auntie, said that it's the best day in the new year."

"That's five days later." Gu Chao counted the days, and although he had prepared himself for a long time, he was still a little bit disappointed despite being happy.

"Ah."

Talking about the upcoming parting, Song Wei is also like Gu Chao, with a faint melancholy. Song Wei is going to marry Qin Zhuang, whether it is far or not, and the quick-footed father will have to walk for half a day. Once back and forth, it is a whole day.If you want to continue to communicate in the future, it will not be so easy.

Thinking of this, both of them fell silent.

Gu Chao asked Song Wei to turn around again, and asked him to reach out and shake his hand to make sure there was no discomfort, so he asked Song Wei to take off his clothes, fold them and put them aside.

Gu Chao has already finished this wedding dress, and on the inside of the skirt, Gu Chao also embroidered a small lily, hoping that Song Wei can get along well with that Qin Datian for a hundred years.

"Weiwei, leave this clothes here for now, and I'll send them to you in the early morning of Xiaonian." Gu Chao still had some scruples about Song Wei's mother, so he didn't plan to let Song Wei take the clothes. Song Wei took the finished wedding dress home and nodded.

Gu Chao's hand still didn't stop, he changed the thread on the needle to blue and blue, took out another piece of clothing that was almost half finished, and continued to sew.

The blue one was the color that Song Wei picked out by himself last time at Xiangyun Cloth Village in Wenshui Town.

Gu Chao made it according to the size of the wedding dress. Although he didn't pay as much attention as making the wedding dress, Gu Chao's craftsmanship is not far behind, the stitches are dense and neat.

Song Wei touched the smooth and delicate fabric, looked at Gu Chao who was threading the needle with his head down and a calm and gentle expression, and suddenly thought of Gu An again.

The reason why Song Weihui is so close to the Gu family is that the only grandfather of the Song family who loved Song Wei passed away, Song Sanshi was prodigal, Liang Guangxiu only knew how to squander, Song Wei's elder brother was old enough to have fun by himself, only the older The young Song Wei was almost unattended at home, and sometimes he couldn't even get a bite to eat.

Several times, Song Wei was attracted by the aroma of Gu An's cooking, lying on the fence of his own yard, looking in the direction of Gu's family eagerly.

When Gu An saw it, he would wave him over. Song Wei didn't dare at first, because everyone in the village disliked the birthmark on his face. When they saw him, they either showed disgust or pretended they didn't see him. Song Wei was also full of enthusiasm for others. alert.

Since Song Wei couldn't go there, Gu An packed a portion of the cooked food and put it in the Song family's yard. When Gu An returned home, Song Wei who had been hiding would come out to eat the food.

In this way, being helped by Gu An three or four times, Song Weicai completely lost his wariness towards Gu An, and at first he would go to Gu's house, and then he became familiar with Gu An and Gu Chao, and even went to Gu's house more diligently than returning to his own home. After Gu An passed away, Song Wei and Gu Chao were still so close.

Thinking of this, Song Wei's eye sockets couldn't help turning red again, and moist water vapor filled the eye sockets.

"Stupid Weiwei, what are you thinking about? Why are you crying suddenly?" Gu Chao didn't know Song Wei's twists and turns, and looked at Song Wei with a bit of laughter.

Song Wei wiped the corners of his eyes and shook his head, "It's nothing. I just can't bear to look at my brother."

He didn't mention Gu An, afraid that Gu Chao would be unhappy if he mentioned it.

Gu Chao smiled, and mysteriously grabbed the corner of his clothes and handed it to Song Wei, "Weiwei, feel it."

Song Wei reached out and touched the corner of the clothes, and under the soft fabric, he felt a hard, stone-like thing.

"Brother Chao, why did you sew all the stones into your clothes?"

"It's not a stone, look what it is."

As Gu Chao said, he showed Song Wei another corner of his clothes that hadn't been sewn together. What Song Wei saw was a small piece of silver. I can't see it anymore.

"You are going to marry into someone else's house. It will not be as convenient as it is now, and you are in a place where you are not familiar. If something happens, there is no one who can help. The four people in this dress In the corner of my clothes, I stuffed a little bit of broken silver, which adds up to only half a tael. Don’t tell anyone about this, and don’t tell that person either. You just wear this dress next to your body, it’s useless. Best, but in case something happens, at least there is money to rely on."

Listening to Gu Chao's slow explanation like this, Song Wei's tears broke down in an instant, and he didn't care about the needle and thread in Gu Chao's hand. As soon as he stretched out his hands, he wrapped around Gu Chao's neck, and began to cry, as always Song Wei, who was protecting Gu Chao like an older brother by Gu Chao's side, is now crying like a child in Gu Chao's arms.

┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄

In the past few nights, Gu Chao would think a lot before falling asleep.

The money bought for the cloth and stuffed in Song Wei’s clothes cost nearly one-third of Gu Chao’s savings. Although the money in Gu Chao’s hands is more than enough to pay for the purse next time, Gu Chao Thinking to himself, how long the shopkeeper Qin's income can last is hard to say, and as Gu Chao grows bigger, his expenses will definitely increase in the future, he can't just sit around like this, he must find some other way out .

Gu Chao remembered the last time he visited the temple fair in Wenshui Town, he noticed that the snacks in the town were almost all pasta-like, and there were no tricks, and he had the experience of successfully making rock sugar red dates and rock sugar chestnuts last time, he thought If you can get some similar things and buy them in Wenshui Town, since there are many people in the town near Nianguan, the sales should be good.

However, the price of sugar is not low, and jujubes and chestnuts are also rare in this season. If they are to buy these two things, the cost is too high, and the price is too high to be sold.

After the rock candy snack plan failed, Gu Chao thought about it for a long time, thinking about the previous world, and when he thought about what he usually eats for breakfast besides steamed buns, a voice floated in Gu Chao's mind.

medicine!Check it out!A set of pancakes and fruits!

Gu Chao's eyes lit up in an instant, and the people who were lying on the bed almost sat up excitedly.

The raw material of pancake fruit is basically flour. Whether it is sandwiched with eggs, vegetable leaves or meat, it can be filled with more choices, and the cost is not high, and the production is relatively simple.

From the idea of ​​pancakes and fruits, Gu Chao also thought of Roujiamo. He still remembered the admiration of Shopkeeper Qin when he tasted Roujiamo. There will be a certain market.

After deciding on this idea, early the next morning, Gu Chao started to try it out with the materials he had at home. Mix the flour with water to make a batter, heat the pan over low heat, spread a thin layer of oil, take a spoon The batter turns around along the wall of the pot, and the batter flows to the bottom of the pot to form a dough.

Gu Chao wet the batter several times, and wrote down the most suitable ratio of water to water. It was quite easy to do it later, because the cauldron usually used at home is concave, so the thickness of the dough is often uneven, and the middle one is thicker. .

Gu Chao thought that he still needed to get a flat circular iron plate, which would be easier.

There is no one who can make iron in Gujia Village. If you want to find someone to make this thing, you must go to Wenshui Town to find a master blacksmith to make it. Chu Ming is the one who often goes from Gujia Village to Wenshui Town. Gu Chao thought he should ask him for help. Do yourself a favor.

The dough made by Gu Chao in the morning was his and Gu Huai's breakfast. After eating, Gu Huai stayed at home to practice calligraphy, and Gu Chao went to Chu Ming's house.

The author has something to say: Brother Chao is finally on the road to becoming rich~

21|021 Chu Ming Injured

After breakfast, Gu Chao simply tidied up and went out. He went to Chu Ming's house at the end of the village.

When Gu Chao arrived at Chu Ming's house, the fence gate in the yard was open, but the door of the house inside was closed. Gu Chao called Chu Ming's name a few times in the yard, but no one answered.

Here, the opening and closing of the fence door generally means whether the owner is at home. If the fence door is closed, it means that he is not at home. If the fence door is open, he should be at home.

Could it be that Chu Ming forgot to close the fence gate when he went out, or maybe he didn't go far and would be back soon?

Gu Chao waited for a while, but instead of Chu Ming, he saw two familiar guys—their big hen and the unknown pheasant.

The bright black pheasant walked in front, and the big hen of Gu Chao’s family followed behind. The two pheasants swaggered into Chu Ming’s yard, and then the pheasant clucked as they walked, like a leader leading the way. The two chickens walked into the chicken coop that Chu Ming set up in front of the kitchen, one after the other.

The configuration of Chu Ming’s chicken coop is much more advanced than that of Gu Chao’s. It is windproof on all sides and has a roof. There is also a small pile of wheat bran in front of the chicken coop. It is a luxurious combination that does not worry about eating and drinking.

When Gu Chao saw the big hen in their house, he found a comfortable place in the chicken coop and sat down, just like in his own house. In those days when he "didn't return to the camp" before , wouldn't all the big hens in their family spend the night here?

This kind of speculation made Gu Chao feel a little ridiculous. Just as Gu Chao was looking at the two miraculous chickens and waiting for Chu Ming, he suddenly heard a sound, a bang, coming from Chu Ming's house. from.

He stretched out his hand and pushed the door, only to find that the door of Chu Ming's house was ajar.

"Chu Ming, are you at home?"

Gu Chao asked as he walked in. Chu Ming’s house was a bit bigger than Gu Chao’s. The living room was independent from the room, and there were not many furnishings. Walking past the living room and walking inside was the room where Chu Ming slept. The door is separated from the living room by a cloth curtain.

When Gu Chao stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, he saw Chu Ming sitting on the bed inside, with his upper body shirtless and naked, holding a white cloth strip in his hand, the second half of which had already been wrapped around his shoulders and underarms.

An iron basin was dropped in front of the bed, and some herbs were scattered. The noise just now should be that Chu Ming accidentally dropped the iron basin.

Chu Ming raised his head, and there was no surprise on his face. Just now when Gu Chao called his name in the yard, he heard it. He originally planned to go out after taking the medicine and bandages, but he didn't expect a mistake, causing Gu Chao walked in.

"Are you injured?" On the contrary, it was Gu Chao, who seemed to have been frightened, and his delicate face turned pale instantly.

"Well, I was accidentally caught by a wild wolf on the mountain yesterday." Chu Ming lowered his head and wrapped the cloth strips, and told Gu Chaodao, "You don't like the smell of blood, so don't get too close."

Chu Ming was injured at the shoulder blades on his back. He couldn't see it when he turned his head, and he could barely touch it when he reached out. Every time he raised his hand, he would pull the wound. He pursed his lips to endure the pain, and a small amount of sweat was already dripping from his forehead. beads.

Gu Chao saw that the white cloth strip behind him was stained with bright red blood, leaving such a deep wound through his clothes, Gu Chao was shocked again.

"Chu Ming, let me help you." Gu Chao walked up to Chu Ming a few steps forward, reaching out to take the cloth strip in his hand.

Chu Ming raised his eyes and looked at Gu Chao. Usually when he saw him bringing the livestock that had just come back from hunting, Gu Chao would back away when he smelled the scent, but now this delicate little face in front of him had no fear or disgust, his eyes were full of water, shining with admiration. He is worried.

He thought for a while, then nodded, put the strip of cloth in Gu Chao's hand, and sat with his back turned.

Chu Ming is very tall. Even if he is sitting now, he is only taller than Gu Chao who is standing.
