The warm life of farming

It is said that Mu Yuan entered the source restaurant and became an oppressed little handyman inside. He didn't even have to eat. He was sitting on the broken bed in the room at the moment, pitifully, while no one was there, quietly He ate the last bit of food in his backpack—two packs of bread.Mu Yuan knew that this was not the solution, the job was too oppressive, but the problem was that he had no choice, so he could only endure it, thinking that he would have to finish at least one month and get some salary.Mu Yuan sat alone in the room in the backyard doing psychological work for himself, but he didn't know that the restaurant in the front yard was already in trouble.

The troublemaker was Zhao Yan, and it was Mu Yuan who took over his job and stayed.Zhao Yan is 27 this year. He is very burly and has great strength.This person doesn't like anything but cooking. He has been working in Yuanyuan Restaurant for 4 years, but he has been working as a handyman and failed to become a cook.

At this moment, there were no customers in the restaurant, and the tables, chairs and benches were crooked.Seeing Zhao Yan's red eyes staring at shopkeeper Xie, his body muscles were swollen with anger, and he said in a suppressed way: "If you want to get rid of it, I can just say it directly. I, Zhao Er, am not a shameless person. But you can't insult me ​​for stealing Uncle Zhao's recipe."

Shopkeeper Xie was a little scared when he saw Zhao Yan's cannibalistic eyes, but when he thought that the other party had secretly sold the recipes in the store to another restaurant, which was still his deadly enemy, he didn't feel angry at all, so He also plucked up his courage and said, "Oh, I wronged you? I just want to ask you, where did you go yesterday afternoon? Who did you meet?"

Zhao Yan said loudly: "Yesterday at noon, Aunt Xu asked someone to bring me a message, saying that the child was unwell, and asked me to go back quickly. I told Zhang Qing on leave at that time, and he agreed. If you don't believe me, you can ask him about it. "

Shopkeeper Xie turned his head to look at Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing stood up with a smile and said: "What Brother Zhao said is also true. Brother Zhao did ask me for leave at noon yesterday, and I agree. But, what he said is I'll be back in a while, but I haven't seen Second Brother Zhao come back."

Zhao Yan said angrily: "I mean I'll be back in a while, but the child is really not in good health, so I took him to see a doctor, which was a delay."

Shopkeeper Xie suddenly said: "I know your son has been in poor health. It's a medicine jar, and every time he takes medicine, he gets a lot of money. If I remember correctly, you still owe me a lot of money. How could you have money yesterday? Spare money for your son to see a doctor?"

Zhao Yan said: "When I took my child to the medical clinic, I did not have any money to see a doctor, but I met a kind-hearted young man who paid in advance for me, so I saw the doctor and took the medicine for the child."

Shopkeeper Xie naturally didn't believe Zhao Yan's words: "It's useless to say more now, when Zhao Mengyang left, he left the recipes to you alone, but now there is the fish jumping over the dragon's gate on the table in Defuju Who else could it be if you didn't sell it?"

"You!" Zhao Yan was so angry that he couldn't speak, he just felt that it was hard to argue, and it was hard to make sense.

Shopkeeper Xie hated again: "I will treat you well in the future, but you actually did such a thing, it really made me blind. Now that you have left

Well, then don't come back, I have already recruited a new buddy. "

Zhao Yan seemed to want to say something more, but Zhang Qing suddenly stepped forward to persuade him: "The matter has come to this point, Second Brother Zhao should go back, if the trouble comes to the government, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve it."

Zhao Yan said harshly, "Even if I enter the Yamen, I'm not afraid."

Shopkeeper Xie was about to get angry after hearing this, but was stopped by Zhang Qing again.

Zhang Qing said with the same smiling face: "The problem is that you really can't explain it clearly now, Brother Zhao, and you really don't have this prescription in your hands. If it comes to a sentence, you can't justify it, Brother Zhao. Think about your child who is still sick in bed, let's stop making trouble."

Zhao Yan's face was ashen when he heard the words, he really felt that there was a bad breath in his heart, but he had nowhere to complain.

Shopkeeper Xie saw Zhao Yan's pale expression, so he snorted and turned his head away, as if he didn't even want to look at him anymore.

Zhao Yan was silent for a moment, closed his eyes hard and said to no one, "I didn't sell the prescription, and I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter." After speaking, he turned his head and left quickly.

After Zhang Qing watched Zhao Yan rush out, he smiled and said to Liu Chang who was standing at the back pretending to be dumb: "Hurry up and put the things in the store back, we are still open here."

Hearing this, Liu Chang hurriedly stepped forward to tidy up the tables and chairs that Zhao Yan had overturned, and this farce ended.

In the house in the backyard.

Mu Yuan lay on the hard plank bed and stared at the roof, with only a mattress under him, and he didn't think about it even if he felt uncomfortable.I have been planning my future life in my heart, and I have already thought about how many wives I should marry.In the end, I was still bored and decided to go out for a walk, thinking that after today, I would not be free.

Mu Yuan was worried about leaving the backpack in the house, so he picked up the backpack and went out of the room and slipped out through the corner door in the yard.As soon as you go out and walk a few steps and turn a corner, you will find the source restaurant, Mu Yuan thought to himself, since I only start working tomorrow, then I don't have to ask for leave for you this time.So he didn't enter the restaurant, turned around and walked to the other side.

There are shops on both sides of the street, and there are small stalls on the street selling some small goods.Although Mu Yuan didn't know the characters here, he could tell that some shops sold grain, and some shops sold miscellaneous goods. Those who obviously put the goods outside were very easy to confirm. Mu Yuan only went to those shops. I can't see what the store is selling.So he knew what kind of money bank was and what kind of pawn shop was. When he met the jewelry store, Mu Yuan asked about the price of jadeite.But it seems that there are really not many jadeites in this world, at least not in this county. I asked two of them and they said no, but the third one took them out, but the jadeites are not very good at first glance, but that's it. It also costs a hundred and 80 taels.

"I'm not bragging, you've searched all over Yao County and you can't find any emeralds except mine."

Mu Yuan took the jadeite sold in the store, mentally compared it with his own piece, and roughly estimated the price of his own gourd.

The clerk in the jewelry store watched Mu Yuan hold the jadeite without making a sound, and urged: "You

If you really want emeralds, you can only come to me to buy them. It doesn't sell them in other stores. "

Mu Yuan made a thoughtful expression on purpose and said: "My son really wants to come, but your jade looks very ordinary, isn't there any better one? My son is going to give it away. Take this jade Things are gone, don’t embarrass yourself.”

The guy laughed and said, "As long as you give away something like jadeite, there is nothing shameful about it. Although mine is not the best, it's good enough to give away as a gift."

Mu Yuan pretended to shake his head and said: "No, no, my son is at the door of our family, and those who give away are high-ranking officials. It may be very face-saving for an ordinary person like you to give it away, but it is not enough for my son. Look. If you really don’t have anything better, I’ll go back and report.” Then he handed the jade to the guy and turned to leave.

Hearing this, the guy took the jadeite carefully and thought in his heart, who could this person be? The servant himself has never seen it before. Yao County is such a big land, there are not many people who are willing to buy jadeite as a gift... Could it be the magistrate of the county? The young master wants emeralds?

Mu Yuan, who had already left the door, couldn't control what this guy thought behind him.Now that he has figured out the value of the emerald on his body, he will have enough confidence. Even if he has life-saving money, there is still a way to go when it is a last resort.Mu Yuan looked up, felt that it was still early, felt helpless when he touched his stomach that had started to growl again, the two buns were not very hungry at all, it was a pity that even though he was carrying a priceless emerald gourd, he still had to be hungry abdomen.

Mu Yuan suddenly stopped and looked around, and found that he was busy thinking about things just now, and he no longer knew where he was wandering.The stomach suddenly grunted again, which was heard by the aunt who was setting up the wonton stall beside her. The aunt laughed and said, "This young man is hungry, come and eat a bowl of wontons."

Mu Yuan blushed in embarrassment, and said hesitantly, "I don't have any money with me."

The aunt's eyes narrowed when she smiled, and she greeted Mu Yuan and said, "It's just a bowl of wontons, there's no one here, just bring some money to my stall in the future, just sit down first."

Mu Yuan was really hungry, so he thanked him and quickly sat down, and the aunt went to serve Mu Yuan a bowl of wonton with a smile.As soon as the wontons came up, Mu Yuan ignored the heat, scooped up one with a spoon and blew it twice before stuffing it into his mouth.Mu Yuan smiled brightly as he ate, and smiled very brightly at Mrs. Wonton, and said, "Mother, your wontons are really delicious."

The aunt smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.Looking up at Mu Yuan and frowning, he said, "Why did Zhao Er come back? What can shopkeeper Xie say?"

Mu Yuan turned his head and saw a strong and strong man. The man walked to the wonton stand with a sad face and sat down. He lowered his head and sighed, but didn't speak. This made the wonton seller very anxious.

Aunt Wonton asked urgently: "Why don't you talk? Didn't things go well?"

This person is Zhao Yan, only to hear Zhao Yan said in frustration: "I went, but they insisted that I sold the prescription. I went to Defuju again

, but he didn't even see the shopkeeper's face, so he let him out. "

Zhao Yan raised his head again and asked, "Madam Xu, how is your son doing now?"

Aunt Xu sighed and said, "It tastes good, and I fell asleep after taking the medicine. But what should you do about your matter?"

Zhao Yan was dejected and didn't know what to do next.Aunt Xu also sighed, worrying about Zhao Yan.

Mu Yuan was eating wontons and listening, seeing them mention shopkeeper Xie, Defuju and Fangzi, he seemed to have some impressions in his mind.So he asked puzzledly: "I don't know what happened to you? I heard this elder brother talk about shopkeeper Xie. Is it the shopkeeper Xie from Yuan Restaurant?"

At first, Zhao Yan thought that Mu Yuan was just a customer at the wonton stall, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Then he raised his head when he heard the question, and said, "Yes, it's the shopkeeper Xie from the source restaurant. How did the little brother know him? ?"

Mu Yuan said, "Well, I just found a job as a handyman there today."

Zhao Yan frowned when he heard this, and said a little depressed, "So it was you."

"Ah?" Mu Yuan was puzzled.

"Today I went to ask them for an explanation, but I didn't understand the matter, and they said that they had recruited a new handyman, and told me not to go in the future." Zhao Yan said sullenly.

Mu Yuan didn't know how to answer what he said.If he said that he got this job, he didn't step on anyone, but now that he heard this, it seemed that there was something hidden in it.Mu Yuan has one thing, he insists on finding out when he encounters a problem, so he wondered: "When I applied for the job, I heard from Zhang Qing that you left by yourself, what's wrong?"

It seems that Zhang Qing's name is a fuse, and it will explode at one point.As soon as Zhao Yan heard these two words, he gasped heavily, slapped the table with his palm, and cursed angrily: "This villain is insidious and cunning, double-decker."

Seeing this big hand, Mu Yuan hurriedly protected his wonton bowl, and asked with lingering fear, "What's going on?"

Zhao Yan said: "Hey! It's all caused by a recipe."

It turned out that Yuan Yuan Restaurant had an exclusive signature dish before, the name of this dish was 'Yuyue Longmen', and the chef who could cook this dish was Zhao Mengyang.From selecting fish, killing fish to marinating, to frying and carving plates, the whole process is done by one person.Every time Zhao Mengyang cooks this dish, no one is allowed around him, so no one knows how this dish is made, and this dish is not easy to order, only 3 plates are served every day, so Very popular.Half a month ago, Zhao Mengyang decided to go back to his hometown. Before he left, he left the cooking recipes and handed them over to Zhao Yan, hoping that Zhao Yan could continue to cook after he left.

According to Zhao Yan, since he got this recipe, shopkeeper Xie has paid more attention to him, saying that he gave him half a month to learn this dish as soon as possible.Zhao Yan has always loved cooking, but now that he has this opportunity, he has devoted himself even more, and has been immersing himself in the research of recipes for half a month.But at this moment, whoever leaked the news, said that Zhao Mengyang left a "fish leaping over the dragon's gate" before leaving?

The prescription was given to Zhao Yan, and now all restaurants want to buy this prescription as long as they are capable, but Zhao Yan insists on not selling it.Until yesterday, Zhao Yan's only son, Zhao Wei, fell ill again. Zhao Yan hurriedly asked for leave and went home.

Tears welled up in Zhao Yan's eyes after he finished speaking, as long as he thought about the wrongs he had suffered for nothing, and thought that he would have no money to treat his illness after losing his sense of income, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.

Aunt Xu was also wiping away tears.

Mu Yuan saw a senior man crying in front of him, and really got goosebumps. After thinking about Zhao Yan's words, he always felt that there was something wrong there, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he persuaded and comforted him: "Brother Zhao, you also Don't feel bad, you can find another job when you lose your job, and as for that prescription, I think the truth will come to light one day."

Zhao Yan was only concerned about being sad, and he didn't know if he had heard Mu Yuan's words.Seeing this, Mu Yuan didn't say anything else, he ate the remaining wontons in two bites, thanked him again and was about to go back.Before leaving, Zhao Yan said to Mu Yuan, "Be careful with that villain Zhang Qing."

Mu Yuan nodded and left, and found the source restaurant after asking the people on the side of the road.After returning to the house, he was still thinking about Zhao Yan's matter in his mind, and felt that this matter was weighing heavily on his heart, which made him even more determined to act cautiously in the future.

Lying on the bed, Mu Yuan didn't have to think about it, but he fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long I slept, and when I opened my eyes, it was already dark, and I couldn't see my fingers in the room.When he was in a daze, he suddenly heard someone snoring. Mu Yuan froze and fumbled for the phone in his backpack. He was about to press the power button when he remembered where he was. He probably knew that the two people in the same room had returned from work. up.

Mu Yuan sighed, he hadn't adapted to the new environment yet.Throwing the mobile phone into the backpack, spreading the quilt under the body in the dark, it’s okay to not cover the quilt in summer, but I really can’t stand such a cramp bed.He didn't dare to take off his clothes, hugged his backpack tightly and turned over and fell asleep.
