"Master Wen." Gu Huaijin nodded. Scholars pay attention to modesty and politeness, and their clothes are neat.He can only be polite in this embarrassment now.

Wen Qiliang also nodded and looked at the small shop.

Lu Zhao held two pieces of tofu in his hand, Gu Huaijin simply thought about it, why not make mapo tofu, which is delicious and refreshing.

Because the small kitchen is on the other side of the house, everything in the house can be seen clearly before hanging a curtain.

Gu Huaijin skillfully cut up the side dishes and tofu and blanched them in water to remove the smell of bean curd. In the pot, he heated the oil with bean paste and fried the red oil, then added minced ginger, minced garlic and chili peppers, and finally added the tofu.

When it was finally out of the pot, the fragrance was so strong that it filled the whole room. Even a very gentle and refined person like Wen Qiliang couldn't help but swallow frequently and look at the kitchen.

Tang Ling was also taken aback, looking at Gu Huaijin, a thin and sick young man, whose smooth movements were more agile than his catching rabbits. The aroma of chili stimulated his taste buds and wanted to eat quickly.

Gu Huaijin was bored with a pot of rice and several of them ate two bowls of rice with a plate of tofu.

"It's delicious. Gu Xiucai's craftsmanship is really good. If I open a restaurant here, my brothers and I will eat it every day, so I'll join you for the inconvenience."

Tang Ling's sharp eyebrows and eyes are full of satisfaction and happiness.

"Brother Tang, if it's really inconvenient to go down the mountain, we can still send it up to earn an errand fee." Gu Huaijin mentioned his takeaway service after hearing this.

Tang Ling slapped the table and said cheerfully: "Really, that's great. I'll count four dollars for your ox cart for running errands, and I'll send a brother down the mountain to let you know when the time comes."

Of course Tang Ling was happy, the brothers suffered so much on the mountain and even if they had money, they couldn't buy salt. He was very kind to Gu Huaijin who wanted to open a small restaurant and send it up the mountain.

Moreover, although he is running errands, the mountain road is difficult and he is a frail scholar.

It is worthy of being a scholar with a good brain.

Wen Qiliang also blinked and said: "If you need tofu, you can tell in advance, I will grind it out early."

Gu Huaijin agreed and promised to pay the deposit first.

To open a restaurant, there must be a lot of tofu. Gu Huaijin also plans to grind soy milk to make tofu slag, and there are many tofu dishes.

After finishing the meal, Tang Ling insisted on leaving fifty Wen as money for the meal with Wen Qiliang.

Gu Huaijin's small restaurant can be regarded as officially warmed up, and Zhou Zhan has a similar store business license stamped from the government in his hand and officially opened it.

Although it was Tang Ling and his group of hunters who came to eat at the beginning, the tempting scent almost spread to half of the village, and when the meal came, there were still people who came to eat with bowls to rub the smell.

It spread in the village all at once. At first, Gu Huaijin rented the land to Hu Mingchi's family, and charged forty-five taels of rent.Gu Huaijin wanted to go back to the forty-five taels, how could the two of them earn such twenty taels for nothing?

Wang Liuchun also lay on the bed for a few days, really suffering from a severe headache.

Guo Qing and Zhao Hongmei started to fight among themselves, accusing each other of shirking responsibility when they promised Gu Huaijin to the widower, and lost the watermelon for five taels of silver and sesame seeds.

The two sisters-in-law chattered non-stop for several days. Guo Qing's son, Gu Ziqian, was slightly older than Zhao Hongmei's two sons, Gu Ziqi and Gu Zizhu.The mind is not as flexible as the two elder brothers.

Although he can't understand Gu Huaijin's separation, his life hasn't changed much. He used to be able to eat two steamed buns, but now he can only eat one and a half, which is better than his two elder brothers.Too much less.

Because Gu Ziqian and Gu Ziqi are scholars, their families place high hopes on them, whether it is food, clothing or reading.Gradually, the two brothers became more knowledgeable, and they often asked their families for money, using the pretext of having banquets with those high-ranking officials, but in reality, they were squandering with a group of regular customers of the Hualou casino..

Now, although they don't just ask for money, they would rather lose money to the adults and Gu Zizhu than to both of them. Gu Zizhu, who has eggs and meat and works hard every day, can't eat, and the two idle around.

But this failure of having no money to spend also made him feel unbalanced. He smelled the fragrance wafting from Lu's house every day, and looked at the money thrown away by the people who went to Lu's house to eat every day, envious and jealous.

Guo Qing and Zhao Hongmei quarreled, and the two brothers had their own thoughts, often wandering around the town, and there were still friends.

Gu Huaijin flicked the abacus, and calculated the daily turnover and income in the densely packed ledgers. The store can earn 300 yuan a day even if it is not big.

Gu Huaijin put the cut pieces of meat on the skewers that Lu Zhao had cut, conveniently stuffed all the money earned today into Lu Zhao's arms, and said, "Zhao Zhao, there will be a wave of hunters coming into the mountains tomorrow, so cut some more bamboo sticks today and roast the meat tomorrow."

Lu Zhao and Lu Nian sat in a row cutting bamboo sticks. Everyone in the bamboo cutting village knew how to weave a basket in their spare time, and they could buy some money.

Gu Huaijin has been cooking for two consecutive days, and it was only when went to the spice shop yesterday that found out that bought more and planned to make skewers.

Lu Nian asked curiously, "What is Brother Gu cutting bamboo sticks for?"

Gu Huaijin quickly put together more than twenty skewers, got up and set up the stove and said with a smile, "Barbecue, let me roast a skewer for you to try."

Lu Nianxin stopped sharpening the bamboo sticks and stared straight at Gu Huaijin's skewers.

Lu Zhao said worriedly from the side: "Okay, look at your hands, and let you eat your fill when it's cooked."

What else can Lu Yun and Lu Nian not get enough of?

Soon, Gu Huaijin roasted all the meat skewers, sprinkled cumin and poured a plate of chili noodles, whoever ate it had to dip it.

Lu Zhao also cut a lot of bamboo sticks, and that's it for today. The four of them gathered around the table to eat skewers. Lu Zhao and Gu Huaijin's bowls were old shochu, and the two children's bowls were white water.

The shochu was too spicy, which made Gu Huaijin, who had never drunk alcohol in the modern era, very excited. He became drunk after eating a few skewers.

In a daze, Gu Huaijin actually thought about fermenting some wheat to make beer, and it would be cool to eat with skewers.

The meat skewers were delicious, Lu Nian cleaned up the plate and was full of praise.Gu Huaijin was talking nonsense, and Lu Zhao helped the drunken man off the dining table.

Gu Huaijin didn't know anymore, she was helped by Lu Zhao into the room and lay down, slowly felt that her body was very hot, she took off all her clothes, pulled the quilt and covered her body again, lying down in a big shapeI fell down on the bed, feeling a little bit cold and refreshing.

As soon as Lu Zhao came back from the shower and went to bed, he was covered in the quilt and pressed under him, bursts of hot breath sprayed on his neck. It was summer, and he could bear the feeling of covering his head..

Lu Zhao stretched out his hand to push Gu Huaijin, it was too dark to see clearly under the quilt, it felt warm and greasy to the touch.

Lu Zhao: ...

This person is drunk and undressed???

$1 $2

Lu Zhao didn't know where to put his hands, he pushed and groped Gu Huaijin.

Gu Huaijin suddenly reached out to hold Lu Zhao's frantic palm.

Lu Zhao withdrew his hand violently like an electric shock, touched Gu Huaijin's face and patted, "Gu Huaijin, wake up."

Gu Huaijin was also sweating from the heat. He felt itchy all over when Lu Zhao touched him. He grabbed that dishonest hand, and his head was also dazed and a little lucid. At least he knew who he was now.

He is Gu Huaijin, and the faint scent of green grass lingering on the tip of his nose comes from his husband Lu Zhao.

The quilt had already been pulled away by Lu Zhao, and the bright candles shone on Lu Zhao's face, his bright eyebrows and eyes were stained with blush, making him look extremely beautiful.

Well, this is his husband, Gu Huaijin looked at it carefully, then bowed her head and kissed her.

Lu Zhao was overwhelmed by the sudden kiss at first, but then slowly accepted and responded.

The two people intertwined their fingers and kissed to the end, half of the fire was extinguished in the quiet and hot night.

Early the next morning, Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao went to the city to buy some rice because there was not much rice and millet in stock at home.

The two talked tenderly overnight, and Gu Huaijin was in good spirits the next day.

Xiaodouzi was waiting for them outside the village driving an ox cart. Ever since Gu Huaijin opened a small shop, pork had been bought from Xiaodouzi's house.

Xiaodouzi also used to drive around in a bullock cart without any serious business. Now he drives to the town with Gu Huaijin on time to buy things. He either works in Gu Huaijin's shop to earn a few copper coins or learns to butcher pigs from his father Feng Dahu.

He also learned a lot of characters by Lu Zhao's side, and he was very motivated to learn. When he was free, Lu Zhao would also teach Xiaodouzi how to read and write. The two of them took Lu Zhao's previous books to read.

This made Dahu Feng even more happy, and the meat sold to Gu Huaijin was also two cents cheaper than others.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, the three of them saw a large group of people at the gate of the city, as well as officials checking the carts, baskets, etc. on a routine basis.

Especially the ox carts that pull the forage must be signed and marked.

Lu Zhao saw that it should be Gu Huaijin's idea that day to ask the county magistrate to check the truck that transported the forage, thinking of this, Lu Zhaojunxiu's smile became even stronger.

After entering the city, the two went straight to the rice shop, bought rice, millet, red beans, and mung beans, and bought two catties of mutton at the butcher shop.

During the seven or eight days of opening, also saved two or three taels of silver. bought some rice and spent 1,500 Wen, and bought a large piece of mutton for 200 Wen.

After passing the bookstore, Gu Huaijin went in and bought a few knives of paper and two pens for Lu Zhao.

Gu Huaijin didn't plan to study anymore, but he planned to let Lu Zhao read. Seeing Lu Zhao patiently teach Xiaodouzi the old articles and the Three Character Classic, as well as the well-sealed box of books, his heart was touched long ago, and he wanted to let Lu Zhao read.Zhao's idea of going to study became stronger and stronger.

As for the books, Gu Huaijin still has a lot of books.

When they were going back to the land, Guo Qing and Zhao Hongmei tore up Gu Huaijin's books angrily and threw them out. Lu Zhao picked them all up, just in time to read the transcripts.

Lu Zhao was choosing in front of the jewelry booth. He was very fond of a light blue headband. The light silk embroidery inlay was neither ostentatious nor unusual. Of course, the price was also very unusual. It cost 1,200 Wen, Lu ZhaoyuThe last flower hairpin counter-offered to five hundred cash.

The owner of the stall was a fat middle-aged woman who looked at Lu Zhao's big and thick, and she must have come to buy it for her daughter-in-law. She didn't know the tricks in this jewelry and directly quoted double the price. She wanted to trick Lu Zhao, but who would have known that Lu ZhaoNot only did she cut the price in half, but she also brought a flower hairpin. If you sell it, you won’t make a lot of money, and if you don’t sell it, you will lose a big deal. No matter how many days she puts it here, she won’t be able to sell it in the street., sold it in one bite.

Most of the stalls in the town belong to the little brothers and daughters of the farm family. Girls’ families don’t buy such expensive ones, let alone the little brothers, who simply tie them up with the leftover hairbands of their own men.

Lu Zhao picked up the hair tie, thinking to himself that the method of haggling with Gu Huaijin these days and teaching him how to haggle in half really works.

Before Lu Zhao returned to the bullock cart, he had no time to show the hair tie to Gu Huaijin, when his arms and hands were full.

Blank paper!Brush?

Lu Zhao hadn't seen these things for a long time, and looked at Gu Huaijin with doubts, "This is it?"

"Pen and paper? Zhaozhao, I don't plan to study anymore, but our family's knowledge genes can't be wasted. In the future, you will study and I will earn money, and you will have a big fat boy next year."

Gu Huaijin blocked Lu Zhao's refusal with nonsense.

"Go home and have a baby for me if you don't study, choose one?"

Gu Huaijin's dragon roared.

Lu Zhao hesitated and hesitated with the paper and pen, and finally got on the bullock cart with the paper and pen.

There is no choice and no rejection of either choice.

Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao returned with a full load, and it was not until noon when they got home. Gu Huaijin looked at the meal ordered by Tang Ling on the table.

Braised pork, cold shepherd's purse, mapo tofu, tofu mixed with side dishes, griddle tofu slices, tofu steamed bread.

"Hiss, how much does this person love tofu?" Gu Huaijin stared at the menu in confusion.

Gu Huaijin made complaints about it and Lu Zhao quickly fried the vegetables and sent them to the mountain. They will come back to grill skewers later, and another wave of hunters will come after a while.

It is said that his name is Chen Zhuang, and several brothers under his command came to be hunters together.

When going to Houshan with Lu Zhao, you have to pass Liu Zhongchao's house, the last time you nagged at the door that Gu Huaijin would definitely change his mind and abandon Lu Zhao's family.

Liu Zhongchao's three sons are the same as Hu Mingchi's family, but they each have their own lives. The family is prosperous, and the family is flying around. The second and third daughters-in-law are still unreasonable.Lu Zhao read the joke and said.

Coincidentally, these two people are also sitting at the door today to choose dishes. In fact, they are also separated, but they have been eating with their hometown all these years. I am afraid that whoever eats less of their hometown will suffer a big loss.

In the early years, the eldest Liu Hui got married first, and then followed to work to build a house for the next two younger brothers to marry wives. It can be said that in the first few years of marriage, I didn’t see money. It was Liu Hui’s daughter-in-law Guo Dayuan who earned some odds and ends to support herself.and children.If Liu Hui is prevented from working and earning money, the villagers will accuse her of not being a brother and sister-in-law.

Now that the brothers are all married to their younger sisters-in-law, the two elderly people can no longer do anything, but Guo Dayuan doesn't want to argue so much with the two younger sister-in-laws. The second daughter-in-law Qiu Yueling and the third daughter-in-law Liu Hong not only keep saying that their house is builtThey have nothing to do with their elder brother Liu Hui, and they don't even let Guo Dayuan stutter.

Instigated the mother-in-law to let the eldest son earn money to provide for the family's food and clothing, of course Guo Dayuan refused, so he kept making noises.

Qiu Yueling and Liu Hong couldn't deal with each other, but they always huddled together in their hometown and sat in front of the door to watch the excitement.

Gu Huaijin saw these two people from afar, and trotted forward to hold Lu Zhao's hand.

Lu Zhao didn't have a stress response to throw it away, and now Lu Zhao is not so sensitive and cramped to Gu Huaijin's touch.

Gu Huaijin triumphantly held Lu Zhao's hand and walked past Qiu Yueling and Liu Hong. In fact, it didn't irritate them, but Gu Huaijin was happy, and he didn't know what he was happy about.To secretly poke grudges against others.

Qiu Yueling and Liu Hong watched the couple holding hands up the mountain, and they couldn't help but think of Gu Huaijin who said that day that he would abandon Lu Zhao, but they separated and started a small restaurant with her husband that day.

Smelling the enticing fragrance from the food box in their hands, both of them were greedy with envy and hatred.

The two were holding a food box and holding hands.

In fact, Cheng Luzhao or Gu Huaijin would be fine if they came alone, but Gu Huaijin insisted on going with Lu Zhao.
