A young husband dressed as a violent butcher

Due to financial and technical problems at home, Xiong Zhuangshan could not hire helpers.Huoqiang Yuchao didn't have it at all, and as for Dilong, it wasn't just any craftsman who could do it casually, and the technology was still in the hands of a few people.So these are all patents, and patents are money, so it is naturally impossible for others to learn them casually.We can only wait for the Xiong brothers to finish their farming work and come together to help build the house.

During this time difference, Xiong Zhuangshan was not idle, and built the high wall by himself first.

The people in the village are not as particular as those in the town. They have high gates and large courtyards. They are all fenced and walled courtyards, which have been in disrepair for a long time. One family has become two families, and there is no privacy.

The native peasants are used to it, and they don't know what to do. Tang Shou, a descendant who pays great attention to privacy, can't stand it anymore. He always feels that his every move is under the supervision of others.

After he talked with Xiong Zhuangshan, Xiong Zhuangshan agreed without saying a word.Xiong’s homestead currently has a total of 87 square feet. To build a high wall around the perimeter, it would require a lot of green bricks, more green bricks than the few small buildings to be built.Blue bricks are expensive, and they can be considered a luxury. It can be said that anyone who owns a big tiled house with blue bricks will be a wealthy household in both the town and the village.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Xiong family's current economy to cover the entire wall with blue bricks, so Xiong Zhuangshan chose earthen embryos.Farming is busy in May, and the land is naturally opened, and the soil embryos can be made at will, without money, just by working hard.

The two pieces of earth together are just wide enough for the wall, and the height should be more than one head of Xiong Zhuangshan.With Xiong Zhuangshan's height, there are not many people in Yu Chao who are taller and stronger than him.There were broken pieces of porcelain and sharp stones on the top of the wall.

When he finished building the fence, the busy farming work of the villagers would be over, and the Xiong family brothers would put down their work and come to Xiong Zhuangshan's house to help.

"They're all my brothers, and I don't talk about those falsehoods. It's like hiring a worker in the town. Each of you will give you [-] yuan, not including board and lodging." I understand, lest I have no idea and work hard.

But Xiong Tie Xiongzhu waved his hands again and again and kept shaking his head. "No, brother-in-law, you can't do this. We still use your cattle for farming at home, which saves us a lot, and we finished planting early this year. You don't need any money for the cattle, how can we ask for it?" You build the house money."

Although they made up their minds to pay wages, the attitude of the two brothers of Xiong Tie and Xiong Zhu's family is still very comfortable.Sometimes it's not money that's bad, but things.

Tang Shou was packing the incense sticks into boxes, and stacking the boxes together, "I'll take the wages you paid. This time, my family is not going to build a few houses, and it will be done in seven or eight days. The work will be done for nothing Yes. This time, my family is going to build three small buildings. Due to technical reasons, I can’t hire others. It’s just you three brothers who can’t finish the work within a month or so.”

"It doesn't matter, even if we work for the second brother-in-law's house for the whole summer this year, we can't ask for money." Xiong Zhu saw that his elder brother was scratching his head anxiously and couldn't articulate his rebuttal, so he hurriedly said, "Don't get too involved with us." It is clear, if you want to calculate like that, you gave us the recipe for making pastries, how much should we give you and the second brother?"

Xiong Zhu said that, but Tang Shou couldn't force it. He turned his head to look at Xiong Zhuangshan, and he had to decide this matter.

Xiong Zhuangshan received Tang Shou's gaze, nodded and said: "Then no wages will be paid, and your lunch and dinner will be covered."

Xiong Tie Xiongzhu hurriedly said: "It's so good. I've heard that my brother-in-law's cooking skills are applauded by those young men in Tokyo. Now I'm finally lucky enough to taste it."

The two brothers were not reserved this time, they wished they could drool like that.

It’s right not to pay for two meals. The two brothers of the Xiong family may think that the money for two meals is nothing, but they don’t know that the meals of the Xiong’s family are different from that of Xiong’s mother. If the homestay is completed, the two brothers’ daily wages will be the same Not enough for a meal.

Tang Shou took out the simple drawings of the fire wall and the earth dragon, and the eyes of the two brothers were straightened.

Xiong Tie asked: "Brother-in-law, you know such details. Did you come from a rich family in the past? Could it be that you were abducted to our Xinghua Village like the villagers?"

No one knows the specific life experience of the original body. At that time, the original body wanted to talk about it, but Xiong Zhuangshan was impatient to listen. As for the villagers, he was not familiar with it. Because of Xiong Zhuangshan's violent temper, the villagers were not close to the original body. They all walked around, and no one listened to what the original body wanted to say.Later, something happened to the original body, and his life experience became a complete mystery.Just because no one knew, the villagers made various speculations. Some said that he was the snail husband who came to repay his favor, and some said that he was the Shuang'er of a wealthy family who was kidnapped and sold.

Xiong Zhuangshan's face had changed slightly, his gaze became unfathomable, and his brows were furrowed, making that cold and ferocious face even more frightening.

Xiong Tie didn't notice his second brother's expression, and said excitedly: "If you didn't come out, how could you have so many strange things, even those young gentlemen in Tokyo have never seen it. Compared with you, They've all become bumpkins. Haha..."

Xiong Zhu hurriedly tugged at his elder brother's clothes secretly, and Xiong Tie turned to look at him excitedly, seeing his younger brother blinking all the time, feeling very uncomfortable.

Xiong Tie said with concern: "Third brother, are your eyes cramping?"

"..." Xiong Zhu.

"No, I just have a cramp in my heart." If it wasn't for a cramp in my heart, how could he want to die.

"Oh, that's not okay, I'll go here and ask the doctor to look at it for you."

Xiong Zhu really wanted to die, he looked at his elder brother angrily and said, "No need to go, it's already healed, I can't die for the time being."

"That's okay, the body is a big deal."

"Hahahaha..." Tang Shou didn't hold back, and burst out laughing. Seeing the two brothers with a confused face, it was written that the third brother was sick, why are you still smiling so happily, and a face full of lovelessness , Tang Shou laughed even harder, and finally his stomach cramped from laughing, and he had to squat down.

Xiong Zhuangshan's originally sullen mood was disturbed like this, and there was nothing left. He knelt down and rubbed Tang Shou's cramp stomach, and said to Xiong Tie: "If you don't say a few words, your third brother can live for three more years."

"Huh?" Xiong Tie was even more confused.

The third brother's life span has nothing to do with whether he talks or not, and he didn't curse him!

"Hahahaha..." Tang Shou laughed so hard that he fell and rolled into Xiong Zhuangshan's arms trembling into a ball.

The wolfdog outside the house suddenly pricked up its ears, fluttered twice, with a look of anxiety on its face, what happened to that human, and why was it barking so loudly.No, it has to go and see.Two little fleshy claws frantically grabbed the door, damn it, why couldn't it be opened.

Xiong Zhuangshan and Xiong Zhu ignored Xiong Tie, and the two began to study how to build firewalls and earth dragons.The construction method of the small two-storey building is different from the ordinary small one-story house in the farm. The villagers don't know it.In fact, one tael of silver is enough to hire a craftsman, but the Xiong family has two crafts of fire wall and earth dragon, so they can't invite people back casually, lest they be stolen.

Although a high wall blocked the villagers' sight, the green bricks and tiles brought into the Xiong's house by ox carts, and the ping-pong-pong sound from early morning to dark, made the villagers immediately understand that the Xiong's house had actually built a big tile-roofed house with blue bricks.

The villagers enviously said: "How much money did the Xiong family make? Last year they bought land, and the next year they bought a cow. Now they have built a big tile-roofed house with green bricks."

The other guessed vigorously: "I must earn five or sixty taels anyway."

This is already the limit of the villagers. In their eyes, a family with five to sixty taels is a wealthy family, and they can eat meat every now and then to satisfy their hunger.

"I think it must be. But the Xiong family has earned so much money, why not hire someone? The husband of his family is not a searcher, but he just throws his feet away when he is farming. The owner who bought a cow."

"I don't know, who said no..."

Suddenly someone asked: "Did the Xiong family have something new this time? Last time, they didn't hire helpers, so they made a kang. But the kang is a good thing. Look at the few people in our village who have learned the craft. When I have free time, I just finished working at home, and I went out to work on the kang without stopping. More people hired them to work than in winter, and they would have to buy soil embryos. Now there is no need to buy soil embryos, only [-] per person For Wen’s wages, they are scrambling to hire someone to make a kang at home, because they are afraid that it will be late and it will be winter, and they will have to spend money to buy soil embryos.”

"No, I want to make a Kang for my family, and I have to queue up."

"Speaking of which, I don't know what good things the Xiong family got this time?"

As I was talking, I smelled the smell of meat. As the weather warmed up, every household in the village opened their windows for cooking.

The villagers shrugged their noses, and the greedy look was not much worse than the lazy wolf dog of the Xiong family.

"Oh my god, the Xiong family has been making meat again for several days in a row. Could it be that the Xiong family still eats meat every day?"

No one in Xiong Zhuangshan's family dared to ask, so they went to Xiong's mother's house to inquire.

Mother Xiong and Father Xiong didn't know either, so they asked their two sons when they came back at night.

Xiong Tie didn't hide anything, with a face full of aftertaste, "Father, you don't know, brother-in-law is good at cooking, and cooking is also novel. I will cook four dishes for lunch this year, three of which are dizzy dishes, what is the name of one of them?" Pork wrapped in meat, I don’t know how to make the meat, it’s sweet and sour, but it’s ready to eat, and the gentlemen in Tokyo like this dish very much.”

Father Xiong had no expression on his face, and his heart was full of slander. He was greedy at night and dreamed of meat and vegetables that he could not see clearly. His three sons ate at the kang table, greedy him while eating, angry He yelled, "Little bastard."

"What's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?" Father Xiong was picked up by Mother Xiong, really ashamed to say that he was greedy, and said vaguely: "I dreamed about the child when I was a child, so don't worry." Turning around, he couldn't fall asleep anymore .

On the second day, he followed his sons to help Xiong Zhuangshan's house.

Xiong Tie said stupidly: "Father, you are really not in good health, so you have to follow."

If you don't come, you can eat the sweet and sour meat. Father Xiong looked at this Muna's eldest son and slapped him.

"I can do odd jobs, but your odd jobs also need personal help."

"My brother can do it."

"Fulang Erlang is busy with many things, don't worry about him, I'll come."

At some point in Tokyo, not far from Jin's shop, a Yaxiang shop was quietly opened.The shop only sells tooth brushes and tooth incense. Although the ingredients of the tooth incense are different from those sold by the Jin family, there is no big difference in usage.The most important thing is that there is no limit to the tooth incense in this shop, and the prices vary from high to low. As long as you want to buy it, you can buy it at any time.

"Yaxiang is better than the Taohuayuan sold by Jin's shop, but it is too difficult to buy." The young lady of the Zhou family said to the little sister who was showing off Yaxiang: "What kind of shop are you from, it must be better than the one in No Taohuayuan. "

The young lady of the Liu family was showing off her rise, and the other young ladies were already showing envy. They were already thinking about buying it and trying it out, but when the young lady of the Zhou family said this, they suddenly stopped thinking.Looking at the box of tooth incense in the hands of the little lady of the Liu family, the eyes are not so warm anymore.

A little sister sighed: "Who doesn't know that Jin's tooth incense is so good, but it's too difficult to buy. What kind of purchase restriction policy is going to be implemented? If you want to buy a box, the servants at home will have to peel off their skin."

The other also said: "No, my boy has been robbing here for a month, and I just got a box yesterday. It's still the cheapest fresh. I'm not even willing to use it. Everyone uses Junzi. , How can I get this fresh.”

The little sisters all agreed for a while, and the topic revolved around the Jin family's tooth incense. Miss Liu bought it back at a huge price, and the deliberately showy tooth incense was forgotten in a corner, and no one cared about it.The little sisters who were still a little interested at first had no interest at all at this time, and they all wondered if the little lady of the Zhou family could ask her brother to bring them a few boxes through the back door, no, just one box.

Miss Zhou's brother and Jin Jiaerlang often play together, and they are also the first group of people in Tokyo to use tooth incense.

Miss Zhou neither nodded nor agreed, she whetted everyone's appetite.Miss Liu was very annoyed by this appearance. Their family backgrounds were similar. In the past, when she occasionally got novel things, she was so famous, but now Miss Zhou took all the limelight away. She was very upset. It is rare to become the focus of the little sisters again.This made the young lady of the Liu family very unwilling. She bit her lip and stared at the ostentatious young lady Zhou jealously.

No, Yaxiang of the Jin family must be overthrown and she will fall from the altar, otherwise she will never recover, and will always be crushed by the young lady of the Zhou family.

Miss Liu suddenly said loudly: "You don't need to bother to buy Jin's tooth incense, I think it's not as good as the one I bought."

The little sisters were attracted by her abrupt words, and all of them were looking at her.This is the attention she deserves, Miss Liu raised her chin proudly and said: "The most expensive Taohuayuan Yaxiang sold in the Jin's shop is Heqi Rulan, which only sells for ten taels of silver, but I bought this one, it's so small A box costs more than thirty taels, which is twice as expensive as his family’s. It’s so much more expensive than Taohuayuan Yaxiang, it must be because the materials used are more exquisite than his family’s.”

Miss Zhou said: "Taohuayuan Yaxiang is the first one in Yaxiang, and the other ones that come out later are also imitations of his family. No matter how good the imitation is, it can still compare to the original."

Miss Liu was not happy anymore, she stared at her eyes and said angrily: "What is imitation and not imitation, obviously it is getting better and better, just say that the lip balm you used used to be a piece of red paper to squeeze your mouth, but now, it is already Made lip balm. Do you think lip balm is not as easy to use as that thin paper sheet?"

"The deeper the wine, the more fragrant it is. Is the 20-year-old daughter red better or the new wine?"

The little sister was choked up and couldn't speak, she said savagely: "I don't care if you drink or not, as long as mine is good, mine is expensive, and expensive is naturally better than cheap."

Miss Zhou said: "What a joke, have you ever heard that the imitation is better than the real one?"

The two quarreled and were persuaded by a few young ladies to break up.

However, this phenomenon of disagreement occurs at any time in Tokyo. Some people think that the newly opened Yaxiang shop sells imitation products, no matter how expensive they are, they can't compare with Jin's Taohuayuan Yaxiang.But some people think that the expensive ones are good, and in turn laugh at others who can't afford the expensive ones, so they stick to the cheap ones from the robbers.

At the end of the evolution, when two young gentlemen from aristocratic families who are at odds meet each other, they will first squeeze the tooth incense used by the other party, and then belittle the brand of tooth incense used by the other party to nothing, as if they have trampled this person , Willing to walk away arrogantly.

"Mr. Erlang, what should we do?" The shopkeeper of the Jin family approached Jin Jincheng again.Yaxiang's business is so good, he is worried, this business has been robbed, he is even more worried, his head is going bald.Fortunately, the monthly allowance of the Jin family was so high that his wife could ignore his baldness, otherwise he might become the first man in Tokyo to be divorced by a young lady.

Jin Jincheng was also depressed, he had also heard the recent remarks, many people who had a relationship with him in the past did not buy Yaxiang from him, but now when they see him, they have to go against him.

"Brother, you are still drinking tea, I am going to die of anger, you don't know what those people outside say about our Yaxiang, they all say that poor ghosts who can't afford a good Yaxiang will line up to fight for our family's cheap price The teeth are fragrant." After all, Jin Jincheng was young and energetic, even though he appeared calm, he was still thrown down by those rumors. "You should think of a way. If this goes on, let alone our family's teeth are fragrant, I am afraid that other businesses will also be affected."

Jin Jinming poured down the tea, picked up the books on the desk, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and said indifferently: "The mouth grows on other people, so I can't stop them one by one."

"Big brother..."

Jin Jinming looked at his younger brother and sighed, "You, you are still too aggressive. Since this matter started because of Yaxiang, why don't you go to find the source of Yaxiang for help."

"The source of tooth fragrance? That Xiong's family!" Jin Jincheng wondered: "They, a rural farm family, can still influence the popularity of Tokyo."

Jin Jinming put all his attention on the scroll, and upon hearing the words, he only said indifferently: "I've entrusted you with the Yaxiang business, and it's your business."

Jin Jincheng saw that his brother had killed him and did not help, knowing that his brother was testing him, with a breath of pride in his chest, Jin Jincheng stood up abruptly, "I'm going to Xiong's house right now, see if that Mr. Xiong can do anything, anyway, I'm Nothing can be done."

Jin Jincheng rushed out like a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.Jin Jinming's eyes finally moved away from the scroll, not knowing where they landed.After a while, he suddenly said in a soft voice: "I also want to know how capable a young husband from a rural family is. Let me see this time."

In mid-June, Jin Jincheng rushed to the Xiong's house with a team of guards. If it weren't for the familiar wooden plaque standing at the door of the Xiong's house, he would hardly have recognized the Xiong's house in front of him.

There is a tall courtyard with a thick red lacquered wooden door, and a small flower bed with the length of an adult's two feet is set up under the courtyard wall, in which are planted beautiful small wild chrysanthemums and morning glory.The morning glory only has not high branches, and it is too late to climb the wall, but it is still eye-catching.This is really a good idea, the earthen wall is not good-looking, but if it is covered with morning glories, the earthen wall can be covered, and all the fresh and tender purple flowers will be beautiful.

I knocked on the door twice, but no one answered, but a small door at the lower corner of the gate was pushed open, and a dog's head came out.The dog looked like a wolf, and even though it didn't bark, Jin Jincheng was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

Then came a little man's angry voice from inside the door, "Lazy, I told you that when someone knocks on the door, you are not allowed to poke your dog's head out to look. You look so wolf-like, what should you do if you scare people!"

The lazy dog's head quickly retracted, and the door was pushed open from the inside.

"It's Mr. Jin Xiaolang." Tang Shou threw on a sackcloth, but the material was brand new, without the usual patches of peasants.

Jin Jincheng followed Tang Shou into the yard after saluting.

Although construction is still going on in the distance, the two small buildings that have been built have been repaired very neatly.A foot away from the gate, several mud houses that should have been located were replaced by a brand new second floor of blue bricks.

Jin Jincheng smiled and said: "Xiong Fulang, your family is considered to be a new house, and you can buy more in the future, so you can live as you like."

Tang Shou returned a meaningful smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Jin Lang, you will definitely be satisfied with your accommodation in the future."

The Jin family is a wealthy scholar family in Tokyo. What kind of environment his family has, how can a rural farmhouse compare to it, and even if it is not, how can it satisfy him.

But Jin Jincheng has a brain and knows what to say and what not to say, so he just smiles.However, when he stepped into the hall of Xiong's house, Jin Jincheng was glad that he didn't talk nonsense, otherwise he would have slapped his face.

Entering the house is the Xiong family's reception hall. The hall is extremely bright, and the four large windows have good light transmission. When the sun shines, it fills the room. The sunlight passing through the window lattice is like bright stars, dazzling and dazzling.

Jin Jincheng stretched out his feet and stepped on the ground, his eyes stared like copper bells.The ground of Xiong's house is not land, but made of wooden floors.The floor was polished so shiny that it was fine to step on it with bare feet.

Next to the window in the main room is a knee-length desk with a set of porcelain teapots on it.In front of the table is a large armchair covered with long strips of felt.There are single chairs on both sides, and there are cushions on the chairs, and there are several small round stools on the opposite side.

On the other side of the main room are two closed rooms where the interior decoration cannot be seen. Behind it is a spiral wooden staircase leading to the second floor.

Sitting on the single chair, Jin Jincheng realized that although the cushion under the buttocks was made of felt, it was not a single layer, but several layers tied together, pressed very thickly, and then wrapped with linen cloth with beautiful colors and patterns.His guards sat on the small round stools. After they sat down, Tang Shou drank honey water for them.Tea is too expensive, and I can't afford it for the time being, so I can only use honey water instead.

After driving all the way, I was tired and drank, drinking a cup of warm honey water, sitting on a cushion, leaning on the back of the chair and basking in the sun is also a wonderful enjoyment.

Jin Jincheng chatted some gossip, and finally found a chance to get to the point.

"Xiong Fulang, our Yaxiang has been so slandered by others, what should we do? If we don't come up with some regulations, the business will be snatched up."

"Yaxiang is not a very rare thing to configure. If you study it carefully, although you can't research my recipe, you can imitate it and improve it." Tang Shou was not surprised, and said indifferently: "I knew it sooner or later. Someone will copy it."

Seeing his calmer appearance than his elder brother, Jin Jincheng felt anxious, "Xiong Fulang, why do you have this attitude, maybe we just watch helplessly, there is nothing we can do."

"Of course there are ways, but they can't defeat the enemy. Speaking of which, there must be a Yaxiang shop. This one will not be the first one, nor will it be the last one."

This Jin Jincheng thought of it, at present, he doesn't want to have any independent business, he just wants to restore Yaxiang's reputation.

Tang Shou laughed and said: "Mr. Jin Lang, don't be so anxious, give me a few days, and there will be a solution to this matter, and if it works well, our Yaxiang's reputation will not only completely turn around, but also become famous all over the world. You can sit on the leader."

Seeing that Tang Shou spoke so confidently and didn't take the slander in front of him to heart, Jin Jincheng's anxious heart was infected and he slowly calmed down.

"Mr. Jinlang, it's a long way. I'll take you there to rest first. I'll send you lunch later."

"Okay." After Jin Jincheng finished speaking, he waited for Tang Shou to lead him upstairs, but Tang Shou walked out of the door when he didn't want to. Seeing that he didn't follow, he asked strangely, "Why didn't you follow?"

Jin Jincheng asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going upstairs?"

"No, the upstairs is where I live, and yours is in another one."

"Ah?" Jin Jincheng said with a bitter face, "No way, Mr. Xiong, your house is built so comfortably, but you don't let us live in it. I was so excited just now."

Tang Shou led the way and explained: "No. In fact, I specially set up another quiet and quiet courtyard for the nobles who come to Xinghua Village to run business and play. This is a single courtyard, the entire second floor They are all for you to live in alone.”

Jin Jincheng was taken aback, he didn't expect Tang Shou to be so generous.

Passing through a verandah, there is a ten-foot-wide peach blossom forest. At this time, the peach blossoms have not yet bloomed, and there are only a few buds drawn from the branches.

"Is this a recent transplant?"

"Exactly, in summer, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, it will be a scorching beauty. You and your friends are welcome to come and play."

Passing through the peach forest is the guest house.

The layout of the small building is roughly the same as that of the Xiong's house. The entrance is the hall, but the guest hall is more like a home, with more clothes hangers with curly moiré patterns, a few picture books are placed on the table, and there are darts on the opposite wall. Plate, used to relieve boredom for guests.

There are several other rooms on the first floor, one is a small bathroom. There is no wooden barrel in the bathroom, and a large bathtub is made for later generations. The bathtub is blocked by a wooden cork. The pipe flows out without manpower lifting back and forth.The other two rooms were the dining room and a fire room, a small fire room with two stoves, one for warming the walls and the other for the earth dragon.

The second floor is the master bedroom, the study room and several guest bedrooms, all of which are equally exquisitely decorated. It is the Western European style that is popular in Yuchao's aesthetics.

"Mr. Jin Lang is still satisfied."

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Jin Jincheng nodded heavily, which is worthy of his status.

"Jin Langjun, this small villa costs one tael of silver in three days."

Jin Jincheng waved his hand, "The price is not a problem, as long as I live comfortably, sir."
