Take the space to flirt with the daughter-in-law

The more Ah Shui thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. After dawdling for a long time, thinking that the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, his heart became ruthless, and he ran to the backyard with his fists tightly clenched.

Kidou'er was left standing there in a daze, wondering if he was just eating fried snails, why Brother Ah Shui was so nervous as if he was about to go to the battlefield.

It's more than nervous!

In order not to embarrass himself in front of Brother Xu, Ah Shui deliberately made mental preparations for a long time, but when he really stood in front of Xu Zhengrong, all the words he wanted to say stuck in his mouth.

Xu Zhengrong naturally noticed Ah Shui's nervousness, but he misunderstood the younger brother's stiffness as shyness. After all, the ancient customs were conservative, and Ah Shui had only known him for half a month. Now he suddenly said that he wanted to get married. It's not incomprehensible to be shy.

The snails that were delayed and not eaten in the morning were still warm when they were taken out of the space, so I just saved them and went to the stove to reheat them.

It is said to be the backyard, but it is actually a small open space surrounded by a fence at the back of the house. Xu Zhengcai met a good craftsman in his early years, and he deliberately found a few strong stones from the mountain to make stone tables and chairs. It looks rough in the backyard, but it is a good place to go on a hot summer night.

Now there is room for a porcelain bowl on the small stone table. Seeing Ah Shui coming, Xu Zhengrong pointed to the small stone bench opposite, and when Ah Shui sat down, he pushed the porcelain bowl under his hand over. He said with a smile: "I fried the snails I picked up yesterday, and they tasted pretty good. I was supposed to give them to you early in the morning, but they were messed up by the Lin family... Hurry up and try it out, do you like it or not?" ?”

He originally wanted to say, if you like it, I will make it for you in a different way in the future.

But considering that the two of them will make some progress, even though he managed to catch the eyes of the old lady, Ah Shui couldn't figure out what he was thinking. He was afraid that he would make his words too clear, and the little brother would have to pay for his abruptness?

Ah Shui smelled the aroma of peppers, held one in surprise, and took a closer look: "I thought you were trying to trick people! I didn't expect Brother Xu to really know how to cook!"

No wonder he was surprised. In his impression, housework and the like have always been done by women and younger brothers. There is no man in his family, but he often hears friends of the same age discussing in private, saying that men have never done it. He didn't want to go into the kitchen, and even brought out what the master in the private school said "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen" to make sense.

Brother Xu is rare.

Xu Zhengrong smiled at Ah Shui, knowing that it was his first time to eat snails, he picked up one and explained the method briefly. Go around the water.

Putting his arm on Ah Shui's shoulder tentatively, Xu Zhengrong glanced at the expression on Ah Shui's face, seeing that he was not disgusted, he relaxed naturally, "The meat of this little thing is embedded in the shell and it's not easy to handle." , I'll help on the side, so that the soup won't splash out and dirty your clothes."

Ah Shui listened to him dully.

Brother Xu's breathing sound was very close, and a gust of hot wind just fell gently on the sensitive earlobe. At the beginning, Ah Shui would randomly guess the intention of Brother Xu's movements. It's like a paste, and it can't turn anymore.

With his arms stiff, he let Xu Zhengrong pick out the delicious meat from the shell, swallowed it in a hurry without chewing it, and swallowed the jujube whole.

Xu Zhengrong stopped, and carefully wiped away a little bit of juice from the corner of Ah Shui's mouth with his fingertips, and felt that he moved his arm and returned to the original place.

After being teased so many times, even Ah Shui gradually became nervous, his face was not as red as before, and he could even pretend to be calm, put down the snail shell, and asked, "Brother Xu asked Kidou to put me down. Did you come here just to eat snails?"

Xu Zhengrong was stunned for a moment, but he avoided the question and didn't answer it. Instead, he answered the wrong question and asked, "Does this snail taste good?"

Ah Shui smacked his mouth lightly. He swallowed in a hurry just now. Except for the faint taste of chili, he didn’t taste anything else. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for Brother Xu’s hard work, so he squeezed another one and wanted to taste it again. .

It was getting late, and the old mama didn't want to go home in the dark, so she politely rejected Xu's elder brother's request to stay for dinner, and then went out to look for Ah Shui to go back. Xu Zhengrong heard the shout from the main room, and looked at Watch Ah Shui clumsily reaching out to fight with the snail shell.

Stand up, walk around behind Ah Shui, "Mama is calling you, go back first, you take this bowl of snails back, and share some with Mama, I will ask you to come here, there is nothing else, just ask you Would you like to go out with me tomorrow?"

The movement of Ah Shui's hands stopped suddenly, and he stammered back: "Of course I am willing. You can come to me anytime."

With such an answer on his lips, he also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It turned out that he didn't want to talk about retiring the engagement!

He sneaked a glance at Xu Zhengrong, feeling excited anticipation in his heart, maybe Brother Xu wanted to get engaged just because he liked him.

Although the distance from Xu's house to Ah Shui's house was not far, in order to show off in front of the elders and loved ones, Xu Zhengrong still actively followed behind and sent Nanny and Ah Shui home.

He didn't stay at Ah Shui's house much, but Xu Zhengcai told him to come back early for dinner before he left home, so that he could find villagers who could help brew wine at the dinner table.

Xu Zhengrong hurried back, and the oil lamp in the main room was slowly lit up.

Xu Yaoshi is usually reluctant to light the oil lamp at this time, but considering that my uncle has to discuss business with others, he can't appear too stingy, lest people look down on him.

There are not many people left by Xu Zhengcai, only four of them, but each of them is extremely strong, and one can tell at a glance that they are definitely good at doing physical work. They were only about the same age, one was Zheng Fang, the other was Zheng Yuan, and two younger ones were acquaintances who had been neighbors for more than ten years, one was Xia Yan and the other was Zhou Dazhuang.

Xu Zhengrong ate and drank with them at the dinner table, and seemed to ask some questions unintentionally, and he felt a little more satisfied in his heart. Since he was chosen by the eldest brother, there must be no problem in terms of character.

After finalizing the idea, when everyone was almost finished eating and ready to break up, Xu Zhengrong stopped everyone, saying that he wanted to discuss business.

The four of them looked at each other and looked at each other a few times. They were very familiar with the Xu family, and Xu Zhengrong grew up under their noses. I don't know why they suddenly became enlightened, and they are more stable in doing things, but they still don't believe that they really want to do business.

Zheng Fang was the oldest. He exchanged glances with his younger brother, and asked first, "What kind of business can you have? Just help your brother grow the land!"

Xu Zhengrong didn't care about his teasing, and after a slight smile, he replied slowly: "Farming is not suitable for me. I'm more interested in the wine business."

"Brewing?!"

Not only Zheng Fang, but the other three also voiced their doubts, obviously not understanding the meaning of Xu Zhengrong's words.

"Yes, it's making wine, and it's still making fruit wine."

He still has a lot of money left in exchange for selling people's titles. It is estimated that two or three batches of fruit wine will not be a problem. After the fruit wine really turns into a climate, follow-up funds will not be a problem.

Xu Zhengrong originally just wanted to find a few capable laborers to help with the brewing process, but now he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to give these four people a chance to participate in the shares.

"Even if the elder brothers can't trust my character, but they have been with my elder brother for so long, they must trust my elder brother." Xu Zhengrong knew that he had a bad reputation, so he deliberately brought out Xu Zhengcai's name, In order to make your words more convincing.

"I was lucky enough to meet a master brewer who could make wine in the town. He said that I was a match for him, so he gave me some recipes for wine making. I tried it secretly before, and it worked really well, so it was born. Such an idea for a brewing business."

"The old master said, in fact, millet and rice are not necessarily the materials for making wine. Even the wild fruits on the mountain can be made well. I thought, there are so many wild fruits on the mountain, and no one wants them. Instead of letting them rot in the It is better to use the tree as a material, except for some utensils, the cost is not much."

"When the spring planting is over, there will be a one-month slack season, and it happens to be a good time for wine making. If you are willing, you can come over and have a try. As long as you are willing to work hard, when this thing is done, the money you earn will definitely Take you to a good score, what do you think?"

Xu Zhengrong knows the truth that profit touches people's hearts best. After a simple explanation, he added a sentence: "Of course, wine making is a profitable business. I inquired about it in the town. A small gourd of wine is about It can be sold for twenty strings of copper plates, and if there is a channel to sell it to merchants at sea and transport it to other places, the price can double up, and there is enough oil and water here!"

All four of them were a little bit moved by what he said, but there was no precedent for brewing wine in Qingxi Township. Although they were moved, their doubts did not decrease in the slightest.

Seeing that Zheng Fang was still thinking with his head down, the shrewd Xia Yan said hesitantly: "But, if it doesn't work out, won't we be at a loss? Although the slack days are not long, if we come to the big family in the town Being a helper at home can earn a lot of copper coins, if you come here to help you and lose the copper coins you should have earned, my mother-in-law can't tell me to kill me?"
