Little wealth

Chapter 166 Vegetable Fish Ball Noodle Soup

"Zhou...Master Zhou?" Their son ran out when he heard someone coming from outside. Josh could only chase after him. From a distance, he saw a man wearing a dark blue satin robe with a big jade hanging around his waist. The man standing outside their yard, isn't this a big customer who bought a lot of things from them last time?Why did they come to their house?

Boss Zhou heard the voice, turned around and saw a young husband standing not far away with a child, and recognized that this was the husband of Mr. Zhao's family, and there was a cute child, He smiled and nodded in response: "Hey, yes, it's me. Mr. Zhao's husband, you still remember me, long time no see."

"Yeah, it's been a while. Master Zhou, why are you here? Come to our house and have a drink." Seeing that a big client came to the door, Josh hurriedly smiled and led him to their yard please.

The little baby next to him who was held by an adult stared at the person with big and bright eyes. There was no fear on his little face, but curiosity. He obviously didn't remember seeing this person a few months ago. Uncle.

But if the child forgets, it is enough for the adult not to forget.

Josh still remembered that thanks to this big client, their family could afford to buy land and build a new house. To a certain extent, this Boss Zhou was the God of Wealth of their family, so for When the God of Wealth came, he showed great enthusiasm and welcome.

"Okay, okay. We also came back from Kyoto this time, and we happened to pass by your Anyang, so we wanted to come and see you." Now that he was invited by the host to be a guest, Boss Zhou looked in the direction that the adult left With a glance, I thought that there should be no problems with the entourage of the adult following up.

It was surrounded by bamboo walls, and it looked like someone's yard. He would just go to find someone later.

Seeing the other party joking towards the new house, Josh explained by the way: "That is the new house that our family just built, and we will move into the house next month. We will still live in the old house for the time being."

"Oh, so that's the case. You have mountains and rivers here, and it looks like a good place." Boss Zhou nodded with a smile, followed this Mr. Zhao's husband to their old yard, and talked to the adult There is a small distance in the direction of departure.

Anyway, people are here, they just go to find that adult in a while.

"Hehe, it's okay. Master Zhou, is your business going well this time? Did you receive the goods we asked someone to deliver to you last time? Is it damaged?" Josh asked what they gave you last time. The batch of goods sent by Boss Zhou did not receive a reply from Boss Zhou, so they did not know whether the batch was delivered smoothly, or whether it was damaged on the way.

"Received, received, there is nothing broken, everything is very good." Boss Zhou replied with a smile, "The business of this trip is going well, everything is very good." The goods were all sold out, and they were taken to meet the emperor. This trip was accompanied by the two adults. Isn't it very smooth?

"Oh, that's good. This is our home, Mr. Zhou, please come in."

Josh took the children to lead the way, invited people to sit at their house, and introduced to Ah Mu and Chen Yan at home: "Ah Mu, Ah Yan, this is the Master Zhou I told you about last time. Ah Mu, go over there and call Ah He to come back, just say Master Zhou is here, let him come back."

"Hey, okay, I'll go right away." Zhao Amu nodded to the master Zhou, because her son and daughter-in-law heard that there was a master who bought a lot of things from them, and it must be this master. patrons.

Before leaving, Zhao Amu whispered to Brother Chen to get him a glass of water, and then hurried out to call her son back.

Chen Yan nodded and went into the kitchen.

"Master Zhou, please sit down." All the men in the family had gone out, leaving only their two elder brothers at home, so it was not easy for Josh to invite people inside, so he invited people to sit outside in the yard.Fortunately, there was no sun outside the yard at this time, and the table and chairs where they ate in the morning were still here.

"Okay." Boss Zhou raised his hand, and the servant who followed him gave a gift, saying, "This is the brown sugar and donkey-hide gelatin we brought back from Kyoto, and I'll send you a copy by the way. Lang, you accept it."

"Hey, thank you, Mr. Zhou, you are too polite." Josh could only accept it with a smile, and put the things on the table.

Boss Zhou sat down on the stool, and invited the young man opposite him to sit down as well, and said: "We heard in the town that your Sihe Village has a threshing machine, and after asking, we found out that it was a threshing machine from your village. If it was made by Master Zhao, I guessed whether it was you or Master Zhao from your family."

Josh took the water brought by Chen Yan, put it in front of Boss Zhou, and replied, "Hehe, yes, I happened to make such a useful thing, just in time for the county magistrate to come to the countryside I saw you patrolling the fields, and asked our master Zhao to make threshing machines for each village." He told the other party about the fact that the county magistrates came to the countryside to inspect the fields, and all of his words were praises for their local The county magistrate is a kind and responsible official.

"Yeah, I heard that the parent officer in your Anyang County is a good official." Boss Zhou has been to Anyang several times, and naturally he has heard about the deeds of the young county magistrate in Anyang, so He couldn't help but envy Anyang for having such a good official.

If the parents and officials on their side are so good, businessmen like them can spend less money to bribe officials.

The little baby is not afraid of people, no one is pulling him at the moment, he just dangles around the adult, and dangles in front of the strange uncle.

"Your little baby is so handsome, he looks much bigger than last time." Boss Zhou still has a little impression of this child. There are very few children who are so fair and good-looking. As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and pull the child to hug him.

Who knew that as soon as he stretched out his hand, the little baby ran away.

Boss Zhou laughed, but he didn't mean to be angry.

"The boy is too naughty, he just likes to tease people." Josh stretched out his hand and pulled the child to him to hold him, not letting him continue to be mischievous.

"Oh, I see, I'll go back with you now." At this time, Zhao He heard his mother said that there were guests at home, so he asked the newly arrived masters to eat and drink some water before working. I have to go home first.

"Okay, master Zhao, you can go, don't worry about us, we can come here by ourselves." These masters have been in Zhao's house for a few days, and they are also familiar with Zhao He.

They can do the work, and there is no need to teach them by hand.

In the past few days, they have come to Zhao's house to work, eating two meals here every day before leaving.At the beginning, they would eat breakfast at home before going out. Later, they found that every day they came to the Zhao family, the Zhao family would prepare another breakfast for them, and the Zhao family’s breakfast was really good. Baozi and Minger are noodles, and they all taste very good, better than what they eat at home.

So after coming here a few times, they simply didn't even eat breakfast at home, and went to Zhao's house for breakfast.

After saying hello to someone, Zhao He went out with his mother.

An old man standing not far away heard someone calling Master Zhao, his eyes followed the man who left, and he knew that this was the carpenter Zhao he was looking for.

"Master, you are new here today. I didn't see you the day before yesterday." They ate noodle soup this morning, and the noodles and soup were served separately. How much noodles you eat, take a bowl to fill the noodles, and then go to the wooden barrel to scoop the soup.There are green vegetables and fish balls in the soup. This soup is much better than the noodle soup made from simple cabbage.

At this time, everyone was getting food. Master Chen, who was at the end of the line, saw a master chef following him, and saw that the other party was staring at the soup in the pot. He thought that the other party hadn’t eaten breakfast like them, so he I stuffed the breakfast into the master's hand, "Take it, master, and I'll make another bowl."

Old man Yan was stunned when someone stuffed a bowl of noodle soup into his hand.

In fact, he had already had breakfast in the inn before he came from town, but he didn't have a good appetite in the morning and didn't eat much.Originally, he was going to refuse the words, but when he smelled a faint smell of food, he swallowed the words of rejection, and silently accepted the kindness of others, and the old man Yan knew to thank others, "Thank you. "

"Hehe, you're welcome, I just arrived yesterday." The name of this master Chen is Chen Dazhu. He is a carpenter in a village far west in Anyang County. He is the only carpenter in his village.He heard that a village with a carpenter can get the threshing machine earlier, so Chen Dazhu hurriedly packed a package, took a few clothes, and followed the master in the yamen to Sihe Village, so their village got the threshing machine earlier machine.

When I got here, I found out that although there was no wages, the government still paid for their round-trip travel expenses, and the Zhao family still took care of their meals twice a day, which was no worse than the meals managed by the yamen. I followed other carpenters to work here in Sihe Village early in the morning, and ate here twice a day before going back to my residence in the town.

After Master Chen took the noodles, he dragged the old master who was standing there in a daze to find a place, and pulled two small benches over to sit on one for each person, sitting and eating the noodles, and asked this person while eating. Master, "Master Zhao is great. He not only teaches us how to make a threshing machine, but also takes care of our meals twice a day. Which village are you from, master?"

"I am from XX village." Old man Yan didn't expect to be asked which village he was from for a living, so he just randomly gave a place.

"..." Seeing their master mixed into a bunch of carpenters, eating and drinking, talking and laughing, the attendants who followed behind wanted to cover their faces. In the end, the attendants didn't dare to expose their master's identity. Behavior, silently stood behind and listened.

"Oh. Let's eat quickly, and go to work after eating." Chen Dazhu just thought it was a village he didn't know, and didn't doubt the identity of the old man next to him.At this time, everyone was rushing to work when they were full. Seeing the old master eating slowly, he urged them to eat quickly.

The masters who were full over there put the empty bowls in the basin and went to work.

"Master, hurry up and eat, I'll go to work first." Chen Dazhu also hurriedly finished the noodles in the bowl, greeted the master, and hurried to work.

In the end, all the carpenters ran away, and only old man Yan was left eating the noodles slowly. While eating, he thought, this noodles are really strong, and the fish balls are also delicious, with a smooth and tender taste. Even an old man with no teeth like him can eat without any effort.

I ate a mouthful of noodles and drank a mouthful of noodle soup, um, it’s really good!

Only the entourage next to him shouted in his heart: Master, you should eat quickly, you are the only one here!
