Views:

With a smile on his face, Sicang joined the army and listened to his nephew telling him what business he had done, how he had done it, how much money he had made, how much he had spent these days, and what he had bought for his family.

Seeing how happy his nephew said it, he didn't bother and just listened. In fact, he didn't care how much money his nephew made, he only cared whether his nephew was bullying people on the street like the walrus did, and he didn't do anything for a day.

From these words, he knew that his nephew, who had never studied well before, became a different one after he joined hands with Zhangjia Zhuangzi to do business. Thinking about how to sell things.

There is also praise from the local people when they sell things, such as Naqu Yuanli. Don't look at the nephew for making money, but the local people always say that he is good.

When talking about this, Zhou Xihu has a special spirit. He said that if a common people does not have money at home and wants to farm, he will ask for less money, and some even rent it to the common people first, and wait for the autumn harvest together. Forget it, the people who came to buy the plow kept coughing, and he even called a doctor to see the doctor.

For the first time, Zhou Xihu dared to speak to his uncle so frankly and confidently. He felt that he had done nothing wrong. Unlike before, when he was doing nothing, his uncle didn't know what to say whenever he asked, he could only lower his head.

"My nephew is going to do it with Zhangjiazhuang in the future. They have said that there is still a lot of business. I saw a necklace made of large pearls in the treasure pavilion, asking for six hundred taels of silver. I originally had the money, but after it was spent terribly, I didn't buy it when I didn't have enough capital to do other business.

When I wait for the next time I do business with Zhangjiazhuang, I will buy the necklace and give it to my mother. My mother will have her birthday in two months. I will urge Zhangjiazhuang again tomorrow. Complete a sale within this period of time.

There is also a bracelet which is also good. When I make money to buy it, I will give it to my aunt. I go to the restaurant to eat these days. I don’t have to spend any money. It’s all those people who want to buy me, and I can’t finish the dishes. Bring it home and feed it to those who are laid down. They all said I was good. "

Zhou Xihu kept talking there and couldn't tell his uncle what he had encountered.

Zhou Yu had been listening too, and suddenly asked: "Why do you want to bring it back, aren't you afraid that others will say you are stingy?"

"What is stingy? That thing will be thrown away if you don’t eat it. The people in the family can’t eat it if they want to eat, and it’s not bad. Last time I personally went to a farmer to give a quyuan plough and saw what they were eating. , It turned out to be the day before yesterday, stayed for two days, they were still eating.

I didn’t get any sickness even after eating it. I just looked at it and thought that before I ate so many things and threw so many things, it’s really unacceptable. I used to buy food and eat it all because of my family’s money. I know, it's actually not easy to make money. It depends on the craftsman and the price. Only a few dollars can be earned by selling a plow. Of course, I have to save some money. "

Zhou Xihu started talking again there, and stretched out his hand to show his uncle. There were actually two wounds on that hand, both of which he accidentally touched on the plow.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he finally smiled with satisfaction. The nephew is sensible, knowing that making money is not easy, knowing that it is not easy to make money, that he respects his parents, and that he is considerate of the people. It doesn't matter if it is more or less, even if you lose it, you can accept it.

"Uncle, please don't tell my mother that I want to buy things for her. My mother will complain that I am spending money blindly. When I went back, I measured it. The necklace was worn on my mother’s neck. My mother looks better, she's even more beautiful than my father Xinna's concubine.

And the bracelet is also, you can wear it for aunt, uncle, you know at a glance, my aunt's long white, with the pale green bracelet, will be younger, uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are my eyes red? Is it too dry and stuffy and uncomfortable in the car

It’s like this now. You’ll know when you get to the place. The well water is delicious and very cool. It’s comfortable from the inside to the outside after a sip. It’s different from here in winter. My nephew is from Zhangjiazhuang’s side. After learning how to make a kang and lying on it, it is called Nuanhe. "

Zhou Xihu saw that his uncle's eyes were a little red, and thought it was stuffy in the car, so he picked up the curtain a little and continued talking.

"Well, it's boring. It's good to see the well water, Xiaohu, tell your uncle, what are your plans in the future?" Zhou Zheng rubbed his sleeve against the corner of his eye and asked with relief.

"Planning? I really don’t know my nephew. I just want to do business with Zhangjiazhuang. They gave me some profitable business. In fact, I know that if I’m alone, they won’t pay attention to me at all. It's the uncle behind, and they want to curry favor with the uncle.

I made some money, but I didn’t keep all of this money by myself. I gave them some back. Uncle, that Zhangjiazhuang is great. The ideas for making money are one after another. I am not afraid of things that will not make money in the future. , Uncle, you have to take good care of the Zhangjiazhuang Zhuangzi. Only when they are there can you buy and sell your nephew. "

Zhou Xihu was shrewd at this time, so Zhou Yan looked at him and shook his head. How could someone not know that his nephew was so clever? Zhangjiazhuang really wanted to protect him, until he didn't care about the little money his nephew made, but his nephew became sensible after cooperating with them to do business, and the prodigal son turned around and couldn't buy it for much money.

"Uncle, you are just saying something. Zhangjiazhuang is really not easy. If it is a bit turbulent, they will respond. The fungus I gave you last time was also from them. You may not know. , They planted the fungus, and they all said that in the future, they planted mushrooms and let my nephew help to sell them.

Awesome, right? The fungus can be planted. Now it’s drought, there are fewer fungus here, and so are the mushrooms. Now they tell my nephew how to make the mushrooms into delicious dishes. I bought some and made them for my mother. My mother praised it. I did it well, I did it myself, and didn't let anyone else do it. "

When talking about this, Zhou Xihu felt very happy, especially when he saw his parents eating, he kept boasting that he could not wait for him to cook every day.

"Okay, Xiaohu's cooking must be delicious, and when he goes back, Xiaohu will also cook a meal for his uncle." Zhou Zheng could think of how unpalatable this nephew's dishes were. The nephew who had never made a dish would not say anything. Otherwise, sword skills are not good, but he knows that he has done it for his parents, that is the best thing in the world, and the royal cook can't match it.

Looking at the expression on his uncle's face, Zhou Xihu knew what his uncle was thinking. He sighed and said, "Uncle, I know what you are thinking, don't you think I can't do it?"

Let me tell you, it’s not like that. In the recipe Zhangjiazhuang gave to his nephew, everything was written down. I asked the tent to read everything. I even weighed everything with my nephew. I wrote, and they gave me something, a light yellow rice-like thing, put it in the dish, it tasted more delicious. "

"Oh? Anything else? What is it? It's really so delicious when it's in the dish?" Zhou Zheng still didn't believe it, but he followed his nephew's words and said that he just wanted to make his nephew happy.

"Oh, why don't you believe me, uncle, these restaurants in the county town all buy that stuff from them, and you only buy one or two dollars a month, all of which are used for special dishes. I didn’t even ask about the recipe, and they wouldn’t say anything after asking.”

Zhou Xihu was a little helpless, why didn't his uncle believe in himself.

As they were talking, the car stopped, and when everyone thought they were in the place, someone brought a bowl of hot soup in front of everyone who came down. Inside were fungus, soaked cucumber, and eggs. There was a layer of green onion dipped in oil on it, and there were two fried dough sticks beside it. Of course, they didn't know it was called fried dough stick.

Majesty Cheng came to the Yuche of the three most important people at this time, and said: "My sirs, it will take half an hour to walk there. The officials are afraid that the adults will be hungry, so I prepared something casually. Pad pad."

After what he said, everyone understood. He rushed all the way and didn’t rest in the middle. He was indeed a little hungry. He smelled the soup that seemed to taste good, took a bite of fried dough sticks, drank a bite of soup, and added some small presents. Every one of them feels like they are still unfinished, but everything is gone, and the soup is drunk, so I will continue to have it if it's not good.

"Why is this soup different from what I used to drink? It's fresh, and the dried cucumber can be so fresh when it is soaked? What is this staple food? It is crispy on the outside and soft inside the bite, and the pickles have a special spicy flavor."

Sicang joined the army and Zhou Yu ate his food, but he didn't eat enough. He glanced at the thing that hadn't moved on his nephew's side and snapped his mouth to praise.

Zhou Xihu seemed to have known it would be like this a long time ago, and pushed his present things in front of his uncle. "Uncle, if you taste it, is it very delicious, especially the soup and small pickles, which taste better than those made in the same big restaurant." good."

"Yes, Xiaohu, you can eat it." Zhou Zheng really wanted to eat it, and felt a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, my nephew has already eaten it. I have something that can make such a delicious soup in my hand. I can eat it anytime I want. This soup and pickles are just like that. Unfortunately, they sell it. Very few come out, only three restaurants here.

The county government will give some to me and my nephew here. The others will not be sold. They only started selling it last night. It is said that they will build a restaurant there, and they will sell it there in the future. Uncle, please eat it quickly, otherwise It should be cold in a while. "

While talking, Zhou Xihu took out a small paper bag from his arms, opened it carefully, and let his uncle look at it.

Zhou You was not polite this time, he drank the bowl, exhaled the heat, and asked, "Is it really because you put the things in your hands? Can't you get the recipe?"
