Chapter 114
Zhou Zhe felt a strange feeling in his heart for a moment. It turned out that giving a small gift would bring such a strong sense of happiness.

Since he was a child, he has always received gifts.I didn't expect that the feeling now is better than receiving a gift, um.

When Fubao asked him to buy it, he didn't think it was necessary at the time, well, he had to spare some time to prepare some small gifts, and give them to the eldest sister when he had the opportunity.

"Don't stand still. This is the sesame candy made by my wife. Try it. The stew will be ready in a while. Let's have dinner." Mrs. Wang smiled and put a small plate of malt candy on the square table.

The sesame candy is about the length of a finger, and it is covered with white sesame seeds. After one bite, the aroma of sesame seeds and the sweetness of maltose fill the entire mouth.

"It's delicious, but why is it still fragrant?" Zhou Zhe asked in confusion.

"There is chrysanthemum water in it, so what you smell should be the smell of chrysanthemums." Mrs. Wang smiled and patted Zhou Zhe's head.

A face full of pampering.

At this time, the old Zhang family was extremely lively.

Because it is the new year, although it is not as important as the first day of the new year, it can be regarded as a warm-up for the new year, so the dinner table is full of food.

There are all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, which are very rich.

"Mother." Seeing Zhang Wang put down the bowls and chopsticks, Pearl rushed up and rubbed her face vigorously.

"What's the matter? Is Fucheng fun?" Mrs. Zhang Wang squatted down and picked up her daughter, and then greeted the others, "Everyone, come and eat."

"It's fun, and I ate delicious food." Pearl said while taking out a piece of candy from her pocket, "This is the candy I bought in Fucheng, it's delicious."

"My mother won't eat it, you can eat it." Zhang Wang rubbed Pearl's head with a doting look on her face.

Others sat down one after another.

After everyone was seated, old man Zhang came back from the front yard with two jars of wine.

"Father, why did you take out this wine? Didn't you say it will be used for the younger sister's future marriage?" Seeing the two jars of wine, Boss Zhang asked aloud.

Fu Bao is attracted, what kind of wine, when she gets married, is it the so-called daughter red?
"It's the New Year's Eve today. It's okay to drink some wine. Besides, there are still more than ten jars." Old man Zhang said with a smile, "Come on, pour it, and the children don't drink."

Boss Zhang glanced at Mrs. Zhang Liu with a puzzled look on his face.

"Your father read Rui Ge'er's account book in advance. After seeing the income, he was in a good mood today, so he took out the wine from his collection." Zhang Liu said with a smile.

Glancing at Fu Bao beside him, it was this child who brought so much good luck to the family.

"Really?" Zhang Xiaowu spoke out first, standing up excitedly, "Brother Rui, how much did we earn in total this year?"

Rui Geer sold a trick first.

"Guess everyone."

"500 taels." Zhang Er said tentatively.

"700 taels." Zhang Laosan said immediately.

"I, I don't know the situation at home, so I can't guess it." Zhang Laosi touched his head with a look of embarrassment on his face. He really didn't know anything and was buried in his work every day.

"1000 taels." Zhang Xiaowu reported the number.

"Wrong, it's 800 taels." Rui Ge'er pointed to the ledger beside him. "Of course there is money for everyone, but the profit is indeed so much."

"There are so many." Boss Zhang is not very surprised by this number. After all, the shop has been open for so long, but it still has a great impact on his heart.

"Okay, okay, don't discuss money, let's eat quickly." Old man Zhang greeted everyone to start.

The whole family ate happily, but Qi Geer was the only one who was not very emotional, and his face was a little ugly.

"Brother Qi, why don't you eat it? Don't you like this braised fish the most?" Fu Bao asked puzzled.

Everyone was chatting and laughing happily, Brother Qi's wrinkled face really stood out too much.

"I..." Brother Qi's face flushed red.

"What's wrong, just talk when you have something to say, he's not a man anymore." Old man Zhang drank a little too much, so his voice was inevitably a little higher.

Seeing other people's gazes on him, Brother Qi slowly opened his mouth after hesitating, "I think I'm too useless."

"This..." Da Li and Zhang's second glanced at each other, both of them looked puzzled.

"Why is it useless?" Old man Zhang asked.

"Everyone is making money for the family, but I can't make money for the family... Food and drink are all for the family. Before, I could sell herbs, but after winter, I have no income from herbs."

As he spoke, Brother Qi lowered his voice and lowered his head, like a child who has made a mistake.

"Because of this, you don't eat well?" Old man Zhang couldn't laugh or cry, he waved his hand, motioning for Mrs. Zhang and Liu to persuade him.

Zhang Liushi didn't speak, she was thinking about what to say, after all, Brother Qi's mind was the most sensitive among the grandchildren.

"Brother Qi, are you studying medicine now?" Fu Bao asked aloud.

Brother Qi raised his head, glanced at his sister-in-law and nodded.

"What is the purpose of studying medicine?"

"It can treat people, and then make money." Brother Qi answered truthfully.

"That's right, you're also making money studying medicine, but you won't be able to see the money until you finish your studies." Fu Bao looked like a grown-up.

"But I don't have it now." Qi Ge'er curled his lips.

"Look at him." Fu Bao pointed to Wen Heng.

Wen Heng was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what Fu Bao wanted to do.

"Brother Heng has been studying for a year, and he hasn't done anything?"

"There are so many scholars who have been studying for more than ten years, but they haven't done anything? They just study."

"But when you get the title on the gold list, not only do you become an official, you also get monthly money, and you can eat and drink well." Fubao gave an easy-to-understand example.

"It's like studying medicine, as long as you study hard, you are making money, but you have to wait a few years." Fu Bao comforted.

She didn't know if her explanation could convince Brother Qi, after all, it would be too utilitarian to combine studying with being an official and getting monthly money in the future.

"I understand." Brother Qi nodded.

"It's fine if you understand it, eat it quickly, the fish in the bowl your mother caught for you is cold." Old man Zhang quickly greeted with a smile.

"Hey, I'll eat it right away." Brother Qi smiled and picked up the rice while holding the bowl, it was really delicious.

After everyone had eaten, old man Zhang drank some wine, so he went back to the room with Mrs. Zhang and Liu to rest first.

In the living room, Mrs. Zhang Wang and Tao Hua cleaned up the table, while Mrs. Li did not do much housework because of her pregnancy, so she just sewed and mended.

After finishing all the work, Fu Bao said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law three, I have a new recipe for fermented bean curd, which is similar to pickles. Take a look and make it according to the recipe." past.

The two of them glanced at it, only knowing a few words, and then gave it to Rui Geer, who read it aloud.

As soon as he finished reading, Mrs. Zhang Wang couldn't sit still, "Fu Bao, this tofu has grown hairs, how can it still be eaten, it won't spoil people."
