But Uncle Zhao Liu and his wife never expected that this brother-in-law, who had been selected by thousands of people, died of tuberculosis two years after his brother married in. The husband's family may have vented their anger on their son's early death because they were too heartbroken. Da Lian said what Da Lian Kefu said outside, and Da Lian was not allowed to go home and forced him to observe the festival for his son. Of course Uncle Zhao Liu couldn't agree, and brought his own son to the door to forcefully bring back his poor little brother. Even if they raised their brother for a lifetime, they didn't want him to stay in such a husband's house and suffer. Seeing the appearance of the husband's family, she wished to kill Da Lian before giving up.
The two families fought fiercely. Although Zhao Liushu wanted to take his brother home, he was helpless. He and his husband had only two children, one was a man and the other was Da Lian. Relying on the large number of people, they drove out the sixth uncle, father and son, and refused to let Da Lian come out to meet them.
Dalian Kefu's reputation became more and more famous, and spread back to Pingshan Village. Uncle Zhao Liu and his son returned to Pingshan Village with injuries. He thought that for the sake of the same surname Zhao, the clansmen would help, but unexpectedly, the husband's family was somewhat related to Zhao's mother's family, and he didn't know what the family said. He persuaded his own man to reject Zhao Liushu's request, and persuaded Zhao Liushu to let his brother stay in that family for the time being. Anyway, his brother's reputation has been ruined, and he can't remarry for a while.
The third uncle, the oldest in the Zhao family, didn't even agree to come forward. He said that taking his brother back like this would also affect the reputation of the Zhao family. It is also a well-known family, and Da Lian will not lose. Faced with such a surname, Zhao Liushu was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and fell ill when he got home, and his husband also fell ill in bed.
Uncle Zhao Liu was powerless and unable to rescue his brother from the fire and water, but he was unwilling in his heart. He dragged his sick body and turned around to find Lizheng at that time. Lizheng at that time was still Lizheng's father now. The face of the family is not good enough to stand out, but he also promised to go to Lizheng's house in the village where the husband's family is located to negotiate, and wants to renegotiate Dalian's whereabouts through a roundabout way.
Uncle Zhao Liu was full of joy and spent a lot of money for it, but unexpectedly, when he was full of hope, there was a sudden bad news. Da Lian threw himself into the river, and when he was found out, he was already out of breath. If he could come up, he took Lizheng and went to his brother's side. He never believed that his brother would throw himself into the river for no reason.
At first, the husband's family was secretive and refused to tell the truth, saying that Da Lian couldn't let go of the man and voluntarily went down to accompany him, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and some rumors spread about why Da Lian threw himself into the river It turned out that it was a man from the husband's family who sneaked into Da Lian's house when no one was prepared, and wanted to force a relationship with him when Da Lian was sad. Unexpectedly, when the incident leaked out, the man planted a frame and said that it was Da Lian who deliberately seduced him, which made him unable to hold back for a while.
The husband's family already hated Da Lian, and blamed Da Lian for his son's death. They cursed him with all kinds of vicious words, and even said that he would soak the pig cage. Feeling ashamed, indignant and desperate, Da Lian couldn't think about it and walked up to her. down that dead end.
After the incident broke out, even the people in the village didn't believe that Da Lian was such a person. On the contrary, that man usually had bad conduct, and rumors often spread that the husband's family killed him because Da Lian had committed a scandal. Talented people will seek their own death, but will go after Uncle Zhao Liu's family, saying that his brother has ruined their family's reputation. At that time, the incident was so big that even some people in Pingshan Village who sympathized with Da Lian made trouble in that village, which almost caused the two villages to fight and alarmed the government.
In the end, under the interference of both parties, the man who forced Da Lian to do something wrong was expelled from the village. As a result, Zhao Liushu was able to bring back his brother's body for burial, and sent his brother away and then his own family. Fu Lang, and the hatred between him and the Zhao family was thus forged. Uncle Zhao Liu always believed that if the third uncle and Laomo Zhao's family had agreed to go to the important family with him at the beginning, things would not have come to this point, Da Lian would not have died at all, and Fu Lang would not have died because of the blow. Guo Da was too sad and passed away, even though the third uncle came forward in the subsequent events, but Uncle Zhao Liu could never forgive him in his heart.
After hearing what happened to Da Lian of the Sixth Uncle's family, Tang Chunming finally understood why Zhao Laomao said in secret that he would not be guarded by Zhao Dahu, but Zhang Xiu just mentioned Da Lian's name and made the villagers shut up. Don't go along with Mrs. Zhao. Although so many years have passed since what happened to Da Lian, people in Pingshan Village rarely mention letting their elder brother be guarded by a man, because they are afraid that a tragedy like Da Lian will happen again.
Perhaps Zhao Liushu saw a little bit of Dalian in him, and he was so enthusiastic about him later, maybe he wanted to find some psychological comfort from it. Anyway, this is a sympathetic and respectable elder. Uncle's so-called elders with false names are completely different.
Looking at the behavior of third uncle today, one can see that what happened back then did not teach him a lesson at all.
Tang Chunming is a man who knows how to repay his kindness. No matter what the reason is, Uncle Zhao Liu is kind to him, but he is the one who benefits, so he is willing to take care of Uncle Zhao Liu a little.
&&&
The town was very lively on the day of the market. Tang Chunming and the others came out of the village early in the morning. When they arrived in the town, the market was already full of people. Zhang Xiu took Tang Chunming to find a free place to set up a stall.
Residents of the town also like to come and see it at the market. The prices of the things brought by the surrounding villagers are cheaper than those in the shops. There are not many eggs in this weather, and Zhang Xiu and Wang Mo are worth a penny. The basket quickly bottomed out.
Tang Chunming's dishes are of course very attractive. At this time, the cabbage and radishes stored in the old year have long been wilted and tasteless, and the dried vegetables are also tired of eating, and the fresh vegetables have not yet arrived. See you at this time The juicy fresh vegetables make people stop to inquire about the price, maybe weigh a few catties for the family to try.
However, most people retreated after hearing the price. It’s just vegetables. Why is the price more expensive than meat? You can eat a meal of meat for a catty of vegetables. Ordinary people think that Tang Chunming sells too much. It's expensive, but Tang Chunming doesn't consider selling at a lower price for the time being.
However, there are also people with good family background who can't help but buy a catty or two to try this dish, and buy it again if it tastes good.
"Brother Ming," Zhang Xiu couldn't help worrying when he saw that the vegetables sold for less than ten catties now, "is it too expensive? After all, there are not many rich and noble families in this town." Before coming, he also I didn't ask what price Tang Chunming wanted to sell at, but I thought it was a few pennies more expensive than when it was listed in large quantities. Who would have thought that Brother Ming would charge such a price, which would make him stutter and be uncomfortable in front of customers? block.
"Let's wait and see. I'll sell it here for a while, and then I'll go to those shops to have a look. There will always be someone who knows the goods." Tang Chunming secretly thought that he only sold it for a dozen yuan a catty, to be honest. Compared with the price in the county last time, it is really a huge loss. Although the vegetables grown in this backyard are not as good as those grown in the pure space, they are still higher-grade than those grown in ordinary fields. He is not willing to sell them at a low price Now, if it really doesn't work, go to the county to find out
"Brother Axiu, Brother Mo, what kind of restaurants are there in this town? How's the business? By the way, the restaurant where Duhu used to give away wild animals is called Jinji Restaurant, why don't I go there and ask?" Brother Ming didn't bother with those things in the past, he was very strict with the rules of the man, so Brother Ming never went to that restaurant. But now that I think about it, Zhao Dahu's personality is not very easy to talk about internally, but no one praises him externally. Presumably the shopkeeper of that restaurant will not have a bad impression of him. Decided to bring a basket of vegetables to Kam Kee and ask.
"Yes, I heard Dashan also mentioned it, how about I go with you and let Mo Geer guard here first?" Zhang Xiu suggested.
"I'm fine, you guys go, you can rest assured that you can find a good buyer early." Wang Mo and Zhang Xiu had the same idea, but if they can sell at such a price, Brother Ming won't have to worry about it. .
Alin has always been very obedient and sat on the side not to cause trouble for Grandma. At this time, seeing that Grandma was about to look away eagerly, Tang Chunming pinched Alin's fleshy cheeks and smiled: "Of course Ah Lin is with Grandma." Let's go together, let's make way for Grandma."
Zhang Xiu heard it funny, and gave Tang Chunming a light thump, and Ah Lin was so happy to help his grandmother carry the basket. Zhang Xiu saw it and quickly snatched it. Such a small person almost covered him with a big basket. up.
Wang Mo also gave Zhang Xiu his embroidery work, and asked him to send it to the embroidery workshop together. The two of them often do it, and give some subsidies to the family. Of course, Ming Geer was added before, but now Tang Chunming has He was too lazy to go to school, and he had a lot of family affairs, so the two didn't persuade him much, and of course they didn't think too much about it.
Tang Chunming grabbed A Lin's hand and squeezed into the crowd. In the middle, he bought a candied haws for A Lin to eat. He and Zhang Xiu walked slowly all the way to the restaurant with the big characters Jin Kee hanging on the door frame.
Zhang Xiu is impatient, if it was different, he would have rushed to the restaurant in a hurry, so that he could get a result sooner, no matter it is good or bad, but looking back, Brother Ming walks with a big belly and his legs are like a duck Swinging and swinging, I couldn't help but smiled and slowed down to walk slowly with him.
Tang Chunming glanced at him speechlessly, knowing that he looked so ugly that even he himself disliked him, let alone others. If the stomach was bigger, he would not even want to leave the door.
Jinji Restaurant is certainly not as large as Tingjing Pavilion and Minglanju in the county in terms of scale and appearance, but compared with other buildings in the town, it can be regarded as very eye-catching. Dozens of villages are concentrated around Ping'an Town, plus There are not many other things in the mountains, but there are not many mountain products. In Ping'an Town, merchants from all over the world come to receive goods and do business. Therefore, even if it is not a market day, there are not too few people in the town, so the business of the restaurant will not be slow.
It has been quite a while since the last time I went to the county seat. Tang Chunming only thought of the kind people he flattered one by one and the unkind things he did, except when he was using money. He had long since left the shopkeeper surnamed Chen behind. He privately thought that as long as he stopped going to the county town to provoke that Tingjingge restaurant, he and shopkeeper Chen would never meet again, and the shopkeeper of such a big restaurant would not come to a small town in his spare time yes.
Of course shopkeeper Chen would not come here. Tingjinge’s business is inseparable from his helm, but if shopkeeper Chen does not come, it does not mean that other people from Tingjingge will not appear in Ping’an Town. Sometimes fate is such a coincidence. The owner behind Jiajinji Restaurant is the same person as the one in Tingjing Pavilion.
Of course, Tang Chunming didn't even know the surname of Tingjinge's owner. Even if the owner of Jinji Restaurant was standing in front of him now, he would not connect him with Tingjinge.
The shopkeeper of Jinji Restaurant was surnamed Qi. Tang Chunming had heard Zhao Dahu mention it before. When the shopkeeper Qi saw Tang Chunming, he was stunned for a moment. He also knew the news that Zhao Dahu had died in the mountains. He regretted it when he heard the news. There was one less hunter who provided wild animals, but it was just a pity that there were no more actions. There would be no fewer hunters in all directions. Without Zhao Dahu, there would naturally be other hunters who would give them wild animals.
"Are you the brother of Dahu's family? This is Brother Dahu's child?" Shopkeeper Qi had heard that Zhao Dahu had married a good brother before, but now seeing the real person standing in front of him, he couldn't help but feel that Dahu is really a fool. What a blessing, such a good brother didn't manage to keep going early.
"Yes, I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I have never been free. In the past, you took care of my family, Duhu, so our family could live on. My surname is Tang, and this is my little brother Alin. Alin, his name is Uncle Qi. "Tang Chunming shamelessly pulled Zhao Dahu's banner to get close to others.
"Uncle Qi." Ah Lin called softly. He has inherited Brother Ming's appearance, and he has taken good care of himself recently. His hair is no longer dry and yellow, and he looks like a cute, beautiful and pleasing little brother. Son.
"Good boy." Shopkeeper Qi called an errand to make some snacks. Alin looked at his mother shyly. Tang Chunming nodded to him. He accepted the shopkeeper's kindness. It can be seen that the relationship between Zhao Dahu and him was still good in the past. Not bad, this move is right.
Shopkeeper Qi was also curious about what Dahu's brother was doing here, so he asked straightforwardly: "I don't know if Tang Fulang has something to entrust to my subordinates here, and I will do my part if I can help." But seeing that this guy has clear eyes, he is not the kind of messy person, so he is a little curious about the reason for this guy.
Tang Chunming was also a straightforward person, took the basket from Zhang Xiu's hand, handed it directly to shopkeeper Qi, and said, "I grew some vegetables when I was free at home, and I want the shopkeeper to see if they can be seen, so I will give them to Qi." The shopkeeper, let the chef make the dishes and try them out. If it feels good, we can talk later. Of course, shopkeeper Qi doesn’t need to take care of us for Duhu’s sake. My asking price for this dish is not low, so shopkeeper Qi thinks carefully Just go to the market and find me."
Shopkeeper Qi was very surprised by what he said. He saw that Zhao Dahu had never brought out his family brother before, and he asked curiously. Greatly overturned the previous cognition, this is not introverted and doesn't like to meet strangers, it is clear that they are familiar with each other, what does it mean not to take care of them for Duhu's face, what does it mean that the asking price is not low, the shopkeeper Qi almost laughed out loud, this The brother is really interesting, and I can't see how sad the tiger is after leaving, and the little brother is also well-raised.
Although shopkeeper Qi didn't know why this Tang Fulang was so confident, he also said that this basket of vegetables was given to them, so it's okay to accept it. Of course, they have their own supply channels for restaurants, and they don't just change them casually. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be disreputable to be a businessman. As for whether to talk about the initiative after accepting it, it's up to their restaurant, otherwise it would be embarrassing for others to refuse now, why does shopkeeper Qi make such a shameful embarrassment for others.
Immediately, he also said with a smile on his face: "Okay, then I will thank Tang Fulang. There are not many fresh dishes at this time, so I will ask the cook to cook some dishes later." Not much to say, after delivering the food, A Lin waved goodbye to Uncle Qi, and left the Jin Kee restaurant with Zhang Xiu.
"Brother Ming, didn't you say you were going to sell it to their family? How could it be a free gift? Is the business still going on after this?" Zhang Xiu hadn't said a word before. I don't know what brother Ming's plan is, but I couldn't help asking when I left the restaurant.
"Mum," Ah Lin said happily, holding a snack, "I want to take it back to eat with Big Brother Er Mao."
"Our Ah Lin is so good, come on, give me a hug." Zhang Xiu hugged Ah Lin joyfully.
Tang Chunming took the things in Zhang Xiu's hand and explained as he walked: "You also know that the vegetables I grow will taste after you have tasted them. I dare say that they are not the best but also the best ones. As long as he eats them He will definitely come to the door, unless he secretly throws away those dishes, is it possible?"
Zhang Xiu burst into laughter: "This is not the time when new dishes are on the market. Who would throw them away? Well, I will wait with you for the shopkeeper to come to the door." Although Zhang Xiu knew that the dishes were good, who knew that Of course, Tang Chunming also knows what is the way of doing business, he is not waiting indefinitely, one day is enough, if the shopkeeper Qi does not show up, then he will go to other people's restaurants to try, it is so good It's unreasonable that the vegetables can't be sold. Look how kind the shopkeeper Chen of Jingge is.
Shopkeeper Chen, who was standing behind the counter in Tingjing Pavilion, Anping County, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose with a handkerchief. Who was talking about him behind his back
The two walked towards the embroidery workshop, and at the Jinji restaurant, Tang Chunming took the shopkeeper Qi who was compared with Tingjingge Chen's shopkeeper, and asked someone to carry a basket to the back kitchen to serve some dishes. It just happened to be here during this time, and I will try it with my boss later. He knew that the owner came here for the supply of goods. To be honest, he couldn't believe the owner's description. There are really such delicious dishes that people can't forget after eating them? The owner is talking about fairy dishes.
"Young master." Shopkeeper Qi, like shopkeeper Chen, is an old man who follows the young master. He was left by the young master's mother. However, the young master's property is very scattered and there is no unified signboard, so except for the one in Anping County Outside of Tingjing Pavilion, not many people would associate the shops scattered around Dingzhou Prefecture with their owners.
"Old Qi, sit down, what's the matter, what happened just now?" Before Tang Chunming came to look for the shopkeeper, it was the waiter in the shop who called him down.
Shopkeeper Qi talked about the matter, saying that it was because of the original Zhao Dahu's face that he didn't refuse in person. Of course, he also decided to try it. The dishes are very good. If it is really good, you might as well give some face. Normally, he would not offend the old supplier. Jinji Restaurant has been open in the town for a long time and has always had a good reputation.
"A brother? Delivering food?" Although the young master was leaning against the window and watching the crowds on the street outside, without any purpose, his mind was empty and he was thinking about himself. He had been running around for a while, but Old Chen There was no way to find the dark-skinned boy described in his mouth, let alone such delicious dishes, as if he just appeared and disappeared out of thin air, so he couldn't help being a little discouraged.
At this time, when shopkeeper Qi mentioned that a brother came to deliver food, it suddenly stirred up a certain nerve in him. In the past, he would not have cared about this matter at all, and left it to shopkeeper Qi to handle it. Both Lao Chen and Lao Qi are very devoted and loyal to him, and they also manage the shop very well, but after the incident before listening to Jingge and getting nothing, the young master would rather miss it than let it go. Overwhelmed mentality made shopkeeper Qi order the people in the kitchen to cook the dishes quickly.
Shopkeeper Qi would not object to the young master's order, so he hurriedly ordered, and sat down with the young master to wait for the food to be delivered. Those who grew up outside their parents did not have a deep relationship with their own family.
After the shopkeeper Qi sat down, Teng Yu asked about the situation in detail. When he heard the description of the boy's appearance, Teng Yu's eyes flashed with disappointment. The difference was too great. Knowing that such a possibility was rare, he still With a little hope, the result is also expected. One has a dark complexion, one has skin as white as jade, one is bloated and the other is pregnant for several months, one has a greenhouse that ordinary people can't afford, and the other is a poor farmer who just lost the head of the family. How can Teng Yu... Couldn't find any resemblance either.
The dishes were served quickly, and Teng Yu didn't have to wait too long. Two pots of stir-fried vegetables with no other ingredients were served. There was a hint of familiar taste, the color was also verdant, and the heartbeat that had just rested was beating again. Before the shopkeeper could say anything, he picked up the chopsticks and took the food into his mouth without caring about the heat.
"Master, be careful, slow down." Shopkeeper Qi watched his young master grow up, and his relationship is very close, not the usual master-servant relationship.
"Yes, that's the taste. No, it's not right. It's still a little bit worse. Lao Qi, try it quickly. No, send someone to bring Nafulang back. Although this dish is a bit off, you can't miss it." Teng Yu couldn't wait to scream, without his usual steady image.
