Chongxi little husband

At first I wanted to talk about something, but there were more Zhang family father and son at the dinner table, so I didn't say much in dialect, but Second Brother Su didn't seem to care about the previous matter at all, and he replied very politely when Zhang Qi father and son talked. Occasionally, he will take the initiative to find topics to ease the embarrassment at the dinner table.

Zhang Ji didn't talk much, he only cared about adding food to Dialect, there were no other people on the table, and Dialect didn't care too much about Zhang's father and son's opinion, so he ate with peace of mind.

The two acted calmly, Zhang Qi rolled his eyes in secret, Zhang Ruizhong frowned, obviously disapproving of the two people's unscrupulous approach, several times wanted to speak to Zhang Ji, but he was worried about the second brother Su on the other side, so he gave him a few times Zhang Ji winked.

It's a pity that Zhang Ji didn't even look at him, but Fang Yan saw him, but he didn't remind him.

Second brother Su said with a smile: "Mother wrote a letter before saying she was worried about you two, I think it's good."

Hearing the words, Fang Yan was startled, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after thinking about it. Why did everyone around him think that he and Zhang Ji had a bad relationship?

Second Brother Su finished the rice in the bowl in two or three mouthfuls, wiped his mouth, and said, "Okay, let's go here first, I have to go home. Come and play with Second Brother when you have time."

"Well, we won't keep you any longer, so as not to worry about Mrs. Master, we will visit you another day." Fang Yan smiled, "I have always been curious about your caravan, Senior Brother Su, and I am very interested in the goods this time. Woolen cloth."

Second Brother Su laughed, "It's okay, you are welcome to come any time, the goods this time are really good, by the way, there are also batches of cloth, from Jiangnan, if you are interested, you can come and have a look."

Fang Yan's eyes lit up, and he was a little excited: "Really? Thank you so much, brother, then..."

"Brother Yan, how can you be rude." Zhang Ruizhong suddenly interrupted the dialect.Zhang Ruizhong looked at Zhang Ji and reprimanded him with a stern face, "Ji'er, where have you learned etiquette? How can you make such a rude request?"

Zhang Ji and Fang Yan: "..." If you keep quiet, you almost forget that you are still there.

Second Brother Su frowned, and quickly let go, still smiling and said: "It's okay, Zhang Xiucai doesn't need to blame them, Su is a rude person, not so well-behaved."

"Etiquette cannot be broken." Zhang Ruizhong still said with a straight face, but he eased up a little when he met Su's second brother, "The child is young, and Ruizhong's teaching is not strict. I still hope that Brother Su will be kind."

Second Brother Su had a rather weird smile. He glanced at Zhang Ji, then at Zhang Ruizhong who looked ashamed, coughed and nodded, "Su has something else to do, so let's leave without bothering you."

Zhang Ruizhong followed and stood up, "Brother Su, go slowly, Zhang will visit Mr. Su in person at the mountain gate some other day."

"You're welcome."

After sending the person away, Fang Yan was too lazy to talk to Zhang Qi and his son, so he went back to the room to rest, planning to get fit so he could go to Su's house.

Zhang Ruizhong originally wanted to talk to Zhang Jixun, but he didn't expect that Zhang Ji would greet him and then follow the dialect back to the room, and suddenly became annoyed.

Seeing Zhang Qi on the side, he became even more angry: "Look at Zhang Ji, and then at you? You've been idle all day and don't read books! Let's see how you do in the exam? Go home for me today!"

"Go back! You think it's rare for me to stay here! But don't blame me for reminding you, that woman should think about how to deal with it. If mother finds out, heh—"

"You don't need to worry about it, just take care of your own affairs. You should think more about how to study well, and next time you will do the same as Zhang Ji."

Zhang Ji Zhang Ji!Everything is Zhang Ji, so rare, why don't you raise him as your son?

With red eyes, Zhang Qi slammed the door and went out, calling the coachman who hid in the kitchen again at some point to come out and take him back to the village.

Su family

Second brother Su's husband, Gu Qiu, looked at the dialect from top to bottom, and couldn't see anything wrong. He showed concern, "Yesterday I heard from your second brother that you were injured. Where did you get hurt? Why didn't you just rest at home and come here?" gone?"

Dialect was a little embarrassed, but also a little moved, and quickly comforted him, "Brother Qiu, don't worry, I'm fine, I just touched my foot accidentally, it's not serious."

"Really?"

"Really." In order to be more convincing, the dialect even jumped twice.

Seeing this, Gu Qiu felt relieved, and with a smile on his face, he got up and went inside to take the things out, and put them in front of Dialect.

"Here, this is the silk and satin from Jiangnan, there are other better ones, take a look."

"Thank you, Brother Qiu."

Gu Qiu smiled indifferently, "What's the matter. But if you really want to thank me, why don't you ask your sister to embroider me another embroidery."

"Well, yes, I'll ask her when I go back."

Seeing him answering so readily, Gu Qiu just smiled and didn't mention it, and he just said casually, "How?"

"pretty good."

"Don't be discouraged, you guys are doing very well. Besides, this thing is in short supply here."

Dialect raised his head and gave him a soothing smile, "Brother, I'm really not worried about not selling for money, I just want to see if the quality of other places is good, and what is the difference between ours and others."

"Yes! Know yourself and know your enemy and win every battle."

"Second brother Su, step brother."

"Husband, younger brother, you are here."

Second Brother Su patted Gu Qiu, gave him a gentle smile, then looked at Zhang Ji and joked, "Your husband is still my favorite."

Zhang Ji rubbed the dialect's hair and replied with a smile, "That's our Yan'er's honor."

"That's also human. The second brother doesn't think I'm just playing tricks."

"Haha, as expected of a young couple, they will make me happy."

All four of them laughed.

The laughter stopped for a while, and the four sat down again.

Dialect corrected his color and said: "Brother, we really have something to talk to you about when we come here this time."

Second Brother Su remained silent, and first poured a cup of tea for the four of them with the pot, and the teapot made a crisp sound when it hit the table.

"Good tea!" Second Brother Su exclaimed, "I've always missed this taste along the way, but it's a pity that your family doesn't pick much each time, otherwise I would have to take it with me."

Hearing this, Fang Yan couldn't help laughing, "It's the wild tea picked in the mountains, it's rare for you to like it."

"Yeah." Second Brother Su shook his head nonchalantly. Seeing this, Gu Qiu shook his head, Second Brother Su smiled at him and sat down, "Say what you want, as long as you don't want me to take you out together Everything else is fine."

Dialect couldn't help but choked, Zhang Ji hurriedly held his hand under the table to comfort him.

"Second Senior Brother." Fang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Although I'm quite curious about the outside appearance, I still prefer ease and comfort. Such a bumpy and hard journey is not very suitable for me, so you can rest assured that I won't go there with a brain twitch." made such a request.”

"That's right, you are as big and rough as you are Yandi, and you won't be home for three to five years? Besides, Ren Jijun is reluctant to let Yandi suffer."

"That's right."

"If Yan really wants to go, I won't stop him, I will accompany him."

Dialect: "..." He said so much that he believed that he was going on a long trip tomorrow.

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Dialect suddenly realized that he must not procrastinate when talking to Second Brother Su, otherwise he would easily lead him astray. I don't know if his skills are also used in his business?If this is the case, will the price be slashed when negotiating the price?

Suddenly, I feel a little sympathetic to those people who are doing business with Second Brother Su.

"I really don't have the idea of ​​running a business. What I want to say is, do you want to cooperate with us, second brother Su? I produce cloth and you sell it in a distant place. Of course, I haven't been able to quickly produce a large amount of silk yet. Come, but I believe it will be possible in the near future."

"Yes." Second Brother Su replied, thinking about it, "It saves me from you and I have to go around and go to the south of the Yangtze River."

"But you can earn more by going to Jiangnan."

Second brother Su waved his hand, "That's what you say, but every time you have to make a big detour before coming back, not to mention the time delay, people are even more tired, and from there to us, you have to go through a lot of mountain roads. How, alas! It's not easy."

"That's right." Gu Qiu interrupted, "You don't know, every time your second brother goes out, my heart is always torn, and he won't land for a day if he doesn't come back."

Second brother Su hurriedly patted the back of Fulang's hand to comfort him, Fang Yan and Zhang Ji were a little silent.Fortunately, Gu Qiu himself quickly adjusted himself. Seeing that the scene was getting a bit down, he smiled and changed the topic. Everyone present was also smart, and they all followed his words, and soon became relaxed again.

"By the way, senior brother, do you know any restaurant shopkeepers in Yu County?"

"Ok?"

Fang Yan took a look at Zhang Ji and said, "I raised some chickens at home before, but my step-brother and I took a look in the town these two days. There shouldn't be much demand here, so I wanted to ask if there is any demand over there." of.

Although it is not impossible to come to the town to sell loose, but now the family is busy, and there is no way to come to the town from time to time. "

The second brother Su became interested, "Oh? Do you still raise chickens?" Looking at Zhang Ji and then the dialect, he was a little admiring, "You have so many things."

Even Gu Qiu heard this for the first time, and looked at the dialect with admiration: "I can't believe you know so many things, Brother Yan."

Fang Yan smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, they are all trial-raised, and only a large family can take care of them."

Zhang Ji glanced at him dotingly, and explained: "That's Yan'er's former neighbor. A hunter kindly caught some of them to support me. If Yan'er can help me, please ask Brother Hua to catch more of them." A few came to raise, and then I recovered, and the chickens have not been eaten, so I have been raising them until now, and the family can’t eat so much.”

"That's a lot?"

"Well, it's not too many, dozens of them." Dialect continued to smile embarrassedly, "In the spring, nearly 50 chicks hatched here, and the chicken coop is a bit crowded, so..."

"So many?!" Gu Qiu was surprised. Second brother Su thought it was only twenty or thirty, but he didn't expect it was Shan Xiaoji... so his eyes widened in surprise.

Zhang Ji smiled comfortably, "Yan'er has always been very capable, and he is very blessed." Everything he raises can be done.

The second brother Su Gu Qiu and his wife looked at the dialect as if they were monsters, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

They looked at the dialect with a guilty conscience, mainly relying on the method taught by Canbao and the residue after it ate.As long as you sprinkle those things in the soil, comparable to modern top-level fertilizers, things will grow very well.

Just like this, those silkworms are fed with fertilized mulberry leaves, and they all grow fast and well, and they wrap their cocoons earlier than ordinary silkworms, and the cocoons they make are basically top-notch.And the residues left by the silkworms were also scattered in the mulberry forest as fertilizer. However, the hazel chickens were all scattered in the woods. It seemed that they had eaten those things or there were too many insects in the mulberry forest. There was not a single one. The ones that escaped grew fat and well, even laying more eggs.

In this way, more and more, it has become a scale...

Second Brother Su managed to regain his senses, seeing Fang Yan's wry smile, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, pressed his eyebrows and said angrily, "Well, I'll let you know first, and I'll give you news in a few days.

Let's talk, what treasures do you have in your family, let's talk about it once, so you don't need to provoke your second brother over and over again. "After speaking, he clutched his chest in a weak state.

Seeing this, the other three couldn't help laughing.

After chatting for a while, the dialect Zhang Ji said goodbye and left, of course he brought a lot of things from Second Brother Su.

Although the topic was diverted because of Gu Qiu before the end of the discussion, it was not without gain, and it was considered tentatively settled. We only need to wait for the dialects to be mass-produced in the future, and it will not be too late to talk about it in detail .

I believe that with the relationship between the two of them, this matter will not happen.

***

After the spring rain a few days ago, everything rushed more violently, and the hills, fields, and roadsides seemed to be filled with green at once.Then there was a drizzle from time to time, and when the wind blew, water droplets fell from the grass leaves and tree branches.

Due to an accident, a trend of eating snails broke out in Ping'an Village, and it spread to surrounding villages.

At the beginning, many people really disliked it for its lack of meat, but after actually tasting it, most people accepted the taste, and these are all picked up in the field. It doesn’t cost money, and it can satisfy the meat craving, why? Why not!

It's just that some of them were not done well, and some of them didn't know what ingredients to put in, so the pick-up was gradually reduced.

Later, when I learned about the dialect by chance, I couldn't help but sigh that no matter where or what dynasty they are from, people are indeed potential foodies!

But that's good too, as these things will reduce the damage to the crops, and everyone's harvest will be better.

In order to comfort the hurt hearts of the two little guys in the family who failed to go to town together, Fang Yan simply took them to the bamboo forest to break spring bamboo shoots.

He plans to marinate more bamboo shoots this year, both for cooking and ingredients are excellent ingredients.

The bamboo forest in the village is big enough. Although the villagers come to break it every year, the bamboo forest is still expanding, so dialect is not worried about the destruction of the bamboo forest.As soon as he went up the mountain, Zhang Yi was like a calf untied, pulling Fang Jin to have fun for a while, and Fang Yan only had time to tell them not to run away before the two disappeared.

Fortunately, they often come here, and it is far enough away from the deep forest, and now there are not only three of them in the forest, so Dialect is not too worried, so he found a direction and started looking for the bamboo shoots he likes.

Most of the bamboo shoots have broken through the ground, so you can see them without looking too hard.

The dialect here had just pickled the bamboo shoots, and Second Brother Su, who said he would give them news in a few days, came to their village suddenly.

"Senior Brother? And Brother Gu Qiu? Why are you here?" Seeing the two people getting off the car, Fang Yan was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly waved his hands to meet them.

Gu Qiu greeted him and grabbed him, looked around and sighed with a smile: "Before, I always wanted to visit your house, but now I see it, it really is a good place."

Fang Yan laughed twice, and while welcoming people into the door, he answered the words: "No, there is some chaos at home that I haven't had time to clean up, brother, you are a joke. Step-brother, second brother and brother Gu Qiu are here."

"coming."

"Brother, Step-Brother is in the study, he will come out later, please sit down and have a cup of tea first." He led the two of them to sit under the scaffolding.

"Not busy, let's take a look first." Gu Qiu said while looking up, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, "Is this a fruit tree?"

"Well, the wild grapes dug from the mountains. Step-brother was in poor health and couldn't bask in the sun. With this summer, he can sit outside."

The second brother Gu Qiusu looked at each other, "Is this all your idea?"

"Yeah." Dialect admitted frankly, "Step-brother and the others treated me very well. At that time, they thought they could take good care of him so that he could get well soon, so they just thought about it...I'll make you laugh."

"Haha, no, no! Instead, it makes me envious. There is such a good husband who misses me, right, little brother?"

"Ah."

There was a warm and gentle response from behind, and as soon as Fang Yan turned around, he saw Zhang Ji standing behind him, looking at him with a smile, his face could not help but become hot, Fang Yan moved away from his seat.

"Is it all written?"

"En." Zhang Ji responded again, and when he came to sit down, he also sat down with dialect, turned his head to look at Erge Su and his wife opposite, and said, "Yan'er has always taken good care of me."

After a pause, he said again: "This time the senior brother must have come to have good news?"

"Haha, I really can't hide it from you." Second Brother Su laughed loudly: "I asked someone to ask, there is indeed an intention there, but they said they want to see it with their own eyes, otherwise the distance is a bit far away, so I don't feel very relieved there. "

Dialect nodded, "It should be, did they say recently? Or soon?"

"Of course, the sooner the better. You also know that it is difficult to find good chickens and ducks at this time of year. Some hunters have just started to go up the mountain, and there are basically not many people left in the village. It is impossible for a large restaurant to only have pork every day." No? So if you offer it here, they will not refuse it.

To be honest, the second brother is a little moved, but I don't have so many livestock in my hand. "Second brother Su couldn't help being slightly surprised when he saw hesitation in the dialect after he finished speaking, "Why?is there any problem?Is there something wrong with the chicken? "

In the past, it was not that no one could raise more, but they couldn't raise them well, and they were easy to die in large numbers. Therefore, each family only raised a dozen or so at most.

Zhang Ji took a look at the dialect, and answered, "It's not that there is something wrong with the chicken, it's that the silkworms at home are getting entangled in cocoons recently, so I don't feel relieved to leave."

When Gu Qiu heard that he was interested, he looked curious: "Really? I haven't seen silkworms before, can you let me have a look?"

"Okay, but I need to trouble Brother Gu Qiu to change his clothes, and you are not afraid of bugs, right?"

Gu Qiu readily agreed to change clothes. As for being afraid of bugs, he shook his head after thinking about it. Seeing this, Fang Yan took him to the room to change clothes before taking him to the backyard.

After the two left, Second Brother Su said again: "I heard that you refused to go to Peng County and want to stay with us?"

"Yes." This matter has been discussed with Mr. Su, and Zhang Ji did not hide it.

Second Brother Su frowned slightly, took another sip of tea and put down his cup, "Father mentioned to me that you are not in court, so you have no letter to elder brother... But I don't understand, if that's the case, why you still Do you want us here?"

Zhang Ji smiled softly, glanced at the backyard, then looked back at Second Brother Su, and said, "My home is here."

Second Brother Su frowned, and said in a low voice, "A man should aim everywhere."

Zhang Ji stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, and smiled in a low voice: "I am different from senior brother, I have a family that is not far away."

Second brother Su frowned, his eyes were piercing, Zhang Ji kept looking back calmly.

After a while, Second Brother Su was the first to lose the battle. Zhang Ji still smiled gently, "Thank you, brother. In fact, you and Master have helped us a lot. I have failed your great love. I only want to keep my family safe."

"Forget it!" Second Brother Su sighed suddenly, "Father persuaded you when you came here, and I thought about persuading you again, maybe you can change your mind...Since you have made up your mind, then Second Brother will naturally support you.

What dad said is right, you are the most like dad, unlike me and elder brother. "As he spoke, he suddenly smiled wryly, "Brother Yan has you, and you have Brother Yan, it's also your fate. "

Zhang Ji shook his head slightly, "Brother Gu Qiu is also a very good person."

"I know, I owe him a lot." Second Brother Su wiped his face, "Let's not talk about this, then when can you go to Yu County to meet him?"

Zhang Ji pondered for a while and said: "Brother, did you travel again recently?"

Second Brother Su shook his head: "I have no plans for the time being. I've been traveling all over the world for the past few years, and I don't have time to be at home. This time I'll stay longer this time, and we'll see when the time comes."

"Alright." Zhang Jizan nodded approvingly, thought for a while and said, "Why don't senior brothers take a trip on our behalf?"

"I?"

"Yes. Yan'er must be worried these days, and I don't want to force him, so why not bother senior brother for a long time?"

"It's fine. I don't care. Is it your brother... Well, just right, I haven't gone out with him for a long time. I'll go with him this time. I think he will be happy too."

"It's better for everyone."

"Yes!" Second Brother Su clapped his hands suddenly and said happily, after a sudden pause, he recalled, "Mother is right, you two are indeed thieves, so you have been waiting for your second brother and me here a long time ago." .”

Zhang Ji drank his tea calmly, "Why did you say that, brother?" That's all up to you.

Second brother Su stretched out his hand and nodded at Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji still smiled innocently.

Second brother Su was defeated again, "Forget it. But let's take us to see your home first."

"Okay, should we pass now, or wait?"

"...Then wait a little longer."

In the end, he followed him to the silkworm house, but the second brother Su, who claimed to be a big man, only stayed in the room for a minute before rushing out with a pale face. He didn't recover until he went to the woods.

It's just that the hazel pheasants ran into the woods at this time, and the four of them only saw a few, but Second Brother Su was quite satisfied.

Sure enough, he looks really strong, and he will be even more praised after eating meat at night.

Of course, when the chickens returned to their cages, the two finally witnessed the scene of Zhang Ji and Zhang Ji speaking in dialect, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a moment.

That night, Second Brother Su and Zhang Ji made a decision to take some hazel chickens to Yu County first.

The next day, the two followed the dialect. They picked mulberry leaves, fed the silkworms (the second brother Su was exempted), spun silk, spun thread, etc., and did not drive away until the sun was setting in the west.

Silkworm Bao’s summary, according to the way of modern people: two people are here to experience life.

But no matter what they came for, when the two left and took away twenty chickens, dialect was very satisfied when he looked at the vacant chicken coop.

After being busy for the past few years, I finally started to have an income.

Can Bao lay on his shoulder, humming disdainfully:

[If you had slept with your man earlier, I would have been able to help you make money faster, and that's just you, the ones who are dawdling are all men, why are you ashamed~]

[…Remember you were just a baby, right? ]

[Yeah~ I'm still just a baby, and I still need a lot of nutrition~]

[Then whether to sleep or not is a baby's business? ]

[…! ! ! ]

Ignoring a certain fat bug that was half hanging on his shoulders, Dialect walked back in a good mood. Zhang Ji said that he was a little tired from reading recently, and that tomorrow he would go catch some fish and come back to make soup.

Well, I still have some soybeans, let's use them to spread some bean sprouts, and there seems to be a sauerkraut plant on my aunt's side, let's make a sauerkraut fish then.

As for tonight, I will fry sliced ​​pork with bamboo shoots and dry pot bullfrog.

While walking, he was thinking about the food for the evening, and thinking of the few bullfrogs that Chen Daniu had caught at noon, Fang Yan thought it was better to eat them.

That stuff is good for crops though.
