Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 65 It’s better to be at home (please order first!)

(I’m asking for the first order when it’s put on the shelves. We’re not trying to make things up. I’ll do my best to spell out the words and everyone will support me as much as I can. I’m mainly a gentleman. Friends who are familiar with me know that. I don’t dare to say anything else. I will definitely make a large amount and have enough. The new book is still there. Update, there are not many manuscripts in stock, today I will send out [-] first, the first order determines the life or death of a book, please! PS: There is no charge for this paragraph!)
Xian'er came over with the little girl in her arms and threw her directly into Zhu Chuanren's arms:
"Yunyue, please call me third uncle?"

The little girl looked to be only about three years old, and she was still twirling her fingers. She was sitting in Zhu Chuanren's arms, her big eyes blinking, full of curiosity.

But as the two looked at each other for a moment, the little girl burst into tears.

Zhu Chuanren panicked. It was the first time in his life that he was so close to a two-legged beast. He didn't know what to do.

If his brothers saw this, they would laugh at him.

"Did he pee?"

Xian'er rolled her eyes at him, took the child over and coaxed her:
"Why are you peeing? I was so scared by you."

Zhu Kaishan knew why and said with a smile:
"Her third uncle's aura is too strong. Children are sensitive. It will be fine in a few days."

Xian'er nodded, hugged the child on her shoulders and swayed:

"Oh~ Yunyue is the best, we won't cry, we won't cry!"

Zhu Chuanren didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He also realized that the murderous aura in him was so strong that the dogs in the village would tuck their tails and dare not say a word when they saw him, let alone the children.

Zhu Chuanwu's attention was also drawn back by the child's cry, and he punched Chuanwen's chest with his fist:
"Brother, it's okay. It's only been a few years and the child has grown so big."

The text said in a whisper:
"Then, you, the second uncle, are not allowed to give gifts to your niece? I don't want the cheap ones."

"Send! Must send!"

Chuanwu also has money now, but he still needs this gift?

He looked at his eldest niece and was happy, and she was happy to spend any amount of money.

"Where is Chuanjie? Is he still in town?" Chuanren has not seen the fourth child since he came back, so he couldn't help but ask.

"No, the year is low. People from all over the country are going to buy new year's goods. They are busy from morning to night. I haven't been back for several days. I have sent people to the town to inform you. I think they will be back in the evening."

Zhu Chuanren nodded:

"Chun Hesheng has shopkeeper Xia here, so he won't have to worry about business. It's better to be busy."

"Business is indeed good. Among those doing mountain goods business in Yuanbao Town, Chun Hesheng's business is booming," Zhu Kaishan said.

"That's fine~"

There were many people talking and noisy in the hall. Zhu Kaishan had a lot to say but it was not convenient for him to say it.

Simply, the two of them walked to the side room, closed the door and started chatting.

"San'er, tell me about what happened in Laojingou in the past few years."

Zhu Chuanren did not hide anything and reported everything he could to Zhu Kaishan one by one.

When he heard that Zhu Chuanren and the others had gone through all kinds of hardships to find Wudaogou, Zhu Kaishan's eyes became moist. He probably thought of He Laosi, so he interrupted:

"San'er, dad has to ask you for something."

Zhu Chuanren knew what he was going to say:
"Dad, there's no need to beg. I've already prepared the share for He Laosi's family, but you should understand that a man is not guilty and only carries the treasure. It's not a good thing for his family to give him too much."

Zhu Kaishan nodded slightly:
"I know, as long as it's enough to support his family for a lifetime."

"Don't worry, everything is ready. You can give me the address later and I will arrange for my brother to deliver it."

"Okay, San'er, you're ready."

"That's right. Without his map, I wouldn't have been able to enter Wudaogou."

"Well, go on, tell me, what did you do in the next few years?"

"After entering Wudaogou, I arranged for the gold husbands to start panning for gold, and they were smelting while panning. I deliberately left the Horse Racing Gang behind just to create an enemy for us. We couldn't let the gold husbands get too comfortable, let alone let the government notice us. .”

He sighed and continued:
"After we killed the first few dozen Qing soldiers, every once in a while, someone would come to inquire about the information. I asked people to pretend to be members of the Horse Racing Gang to contact them. After a few times, the government determined that the Horse Racing Gang was a rebel. Water forcefully occupied the gold field in Lao Jingou.”

Zhu Kaishan was shocked and said:

"Your idea is quite cruel."

Zhu Chuanren smiled bitterly:
"There is no way. If the Qing soldiers send a large force over, we just can't handle it."

"Well, you go on."

“The Horse Racing Gang fought several rendezvous with the Qing soldiers, and felt something was wrong. They wanted to send someone to contact the Qing soldiers to make peace, but I couldn’t get them to clear up their misunderstanding.

So assassins were sent to assassinate people on both sides and sow discord. The times became too frequent, and the two sides became angry. Even if the misunderstanding was resolved, they would not let it go. "

Zhu Kaishan couldn't help but ask:

"Killer?"

"Yes, Dad, do you remember the man in black outside the tavern?"

Zhu Kaishan was shocked:
"Who is that person?"

"Guess what?"

"You kid, you still want to take my exam?"

Zhu Kaishan muttered:

"In fact, there were not many people who had the opportunity to get close to us back then. The ones who surprised me must be people we are familiar with. From this point of view...could it be Lao Guozi?"

Zhu Chuanren laughed:
"Dad, ginger is still spicy when he is old."

"Really him?"

"I asked him to go find out the news. When he comes back before the end of the year, I will ask him to come see you?"

Zhu Kaishan still looked in disbelief:
"It's really him. This kid hides deep enough."

"Yes, but he is also a hard-working man who practices Baguazhang. Later he met a wandering monk and practiced Tan Kou with him for several years."

Zhu Kaishan suddenly realized:
"No wonder he has such good light body skills."

"Yes, but you don't have to worry now, he has returned to my service."

"you sure?"

"Well, don't worry~"

"You have been stable since you were a child. After these years of experience, you have become a mature person. Don't worry, Dad!"

Of the four sons in Lao Zhu's family, the third is the one he feels most at ease with.

As for the fact that he was too murderous, Zhu Kaishan didn't take it to heart. If you want to achieve great things, it's impossible not to be ruthless.

"By the way, Dad, has everything been okay at home these past few years?"

"Well, it's your eldest brother. You can't change your petty temper."

"Bullying again?"

"That's not the case, but from time to time you have to make some noise. No matter how many times you say it, you won't remember it."

It can be heard that Zhu Kaishan is a little disappointed with this boss.

"It's okay. I'm back right now. I'll train him later."

"Take it easy, this kid is not like the second child, he has strong skin and can withstand torment."

"I know in my heart, are you getting along well with the villagers?"

Zhu Kaishan patted his thigh:

"When you mentioned this, I remembered it. When we first moved to Fangniugou, Chuanwu saved a girl. Do you still remember it?"

Zhu Chuanren recalled:
"Is she a girl from the old Han family?"

"Yes, her name is Xiu'er. That girl has grown up now and it's time for her to get married. She just keeps her eye on the second child and must marry him."

"Father, what do you mean?"

"I'm thinking that the second child is not young anymore. Why don't we let them get in touch and give it a try? Your mother and I both like Xiu'er very much. She is a good girl and she is pretty."

Zhu Chuanren thought for a moment:
"The second child may not agree."

"What? He has a girl he likes?"

"Yeah, but that girl can't marry in." "What's going on?"

Zhu Chuanren hesitated for a moment, but still told him about the red scarf.

When Zhu Kaishan heard this, he became furious:
"This bastard!"

"Dad, this is my fault. If I could have controlled him from the beginning, it wouldn't have gotten to this point."

The second child is as stubborn as a donkey, born. He was like this to Xian'er in the original drama, and now he is like this to Red Turban. No one can say it will be easy to use.

You can say that he is single-minded, or you can say that he is stubborn.

Zhu Kaishan also felt a headache:

"What do you think about this?"

"I haven't met Xiu'er a few times, so I don't know what she is like, but that person Han Laohai..."

"Lao Hai is a nice person, but he dotes on his daughter too much. He can't help it. It's just a child. Naturally, he will do everything good for his daughter."

Han Laohai's character is just that, but if Chuan Wu hadn't regretted his marriage in the original plot, he wouldn't have gone against Zhu Kaishan.

And now in Fangniugou, Lao Zhu's family is the most powerful, followed by Han Laohai's family. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a marriage.

"Then I have no objection. It just depends on whether the second child is willing."

"I'll go talk to him." Zhu Kaishan was about to get off the kang.

"Farewell, Dad, you two have such awesome tempers that you have to mix things up within two words, so I'd better go ahead."

Zhu Kaishan thought about it:

"That's fine. If you can't explain it, I'll tell him again."

"Well, there is one more thing, dad. In the past two years, I plan to build Yuanbao Town into our family's rear area. In two years, I will take people to Shanghai."

They had decided on this plan long ago, but now that it was proposed again, Zhu Kaishan couldn't help but say:

"You have to think about how to convince your mother. In the past few years since you have been away, she has been talking about it every day - when you come back, she will not let you go out again."

Zhu Chuanren smiled bitterly:
"Dad, please worry about this. I have to go to Shanghai. That is the future of our family."

Zhu Kaishan has always been puzzled:
"Are you sure there is no place for us outside the customs?"

"Neon and Maozi are both ambitious. No matter who wins or loses, this treasure land outside the customs is a place they must win. When the time comes, do you think we can prove that we can beat Lao Maozi? Or can we go with Benzi? How many battles?"

Zhu Kaishan remained silent, knowing that it was unrealistic.

But Lao Zhu's family finally stabilized and built such a large family business. I would have never dared to think about it in the past, but it has only been a few years and they have to leave their hometown again?
Zhu Chuanren said with relief:

"Don't worry. I'll take my brothers there first. When things are stable there, I'll take our whole family over."

Zhu Kaishan sighed:
"Thank you for your hard work, San'er, for our family."

"You also said, it's all for our family, why bother?"

After chatting with Zhu Kaishan for a few minutes, they heard my mother's voice calling for dinner. The two of them walked out of the wing and came to the room dedicated to eating.

The Eight Immortals table is filled with a dazzling array of dishes. Of course, the protagonist is the braised noodles made by my mother’s hands. Not to mention Chuanwu, Chuanren also wants the fragrant noodles after living outside for so many years.

However, I still put some spicy vegetables in his bowl, but he couldn't even mix them, so he could only eat them while mixing them. One of the dishes aroused Zhu Chuanren's curiosity.

"Mom? What kind of dish is this?"

Picking up a piece of cucumber, it seems to be pickled, but not that salty. It is very delicious to eat with noodles.

"Haha, you like to eat it too. My mother learned this from someone in town. It's called assorted side dishes. Don't underestimate this dish. It's been around for a long time."

Zhu Chuanren was surprised:
"Real or false? And history?"

"Then you see, mother can still lie to you? I heard that it is more than 200 years ago and originated during the Kangxi period."

Then my mother began to show off her 'profound' knowledge, also wanting to look good in front of her son.

According to legend, in the village of Nitrate Guo, there lived a family named Li who made a living by fishing and shrimping. Every year before and after "Xiaoman", he fished fish and shrimps near Erjie Gou.

Because this area is a floodplain, the confluence of sea water and river water, the black shrimps produced here have thin skin, thick meat, fat and fresh taste, strong flavor and no fishy smell.

The fish and shrimps he brought back were carried to the city for sale.

Sometimes after returning home, the remaining shrimps are poured into the tank, because they are afraid that the shrimps will spoil and add some salt. Over time, more and more shrimps accumulate in the tank. Due to natural fermentation in the sun, they emit a fresh fragrance and become Thick shrimp paste.

Slowly he discovered that there was a layer of oil floating on top, which tasted more delicious than shrimp paste.

He collected the shrimp oil. When there was a lot of fresh shrimp oil, he used it to pickle vegetables. At first he pickled some cucumber strips and celery, and later he used whole cucumbers. After pickling, the flowers and thorns would not fall off. It tastes crisper and more tender.

Gradually, more tender Jiang Beans and peppers with beautiful wrinkles and even persimmon-like shapes were added to create the original shrimp oil pickles.

Later, it was improved and became a famous dish that can be used as tribute. Of course, the folk method is not so exquisite, but the taste is unique.

Especially when eaten with my mother's loving braised noodles, it's so delicious that I can't wait to swallow it with my tongue.

While eating, Zhu Chuanren had to take care of his mother's mood and talk to her more to relieve the pain of lovesickness over the years.

The second child didn't care about that anymore. He started to eat with a dull head. After eating three big bowls in a row, he went to the yard to eat with his bulging belly. He didn't care about the cold outside.

Zhu Chuanren also ate two large bowls. After finishing the meal, he didn't rush to get off the table and chatted with his parents, Chuan Wen Xian'er and others.

He was mainly responsible for listening, and would add a few words from time to time. Most of his experiences over the years were passed by in passing.

Zhu Kaishan could accept that he killed people like crazy, but others could not. If he told his mother what he had done, he would definitely give her a heart attack.

As for Zhu Chuanwen, wait until you turn around to deal with him, since you have plenty of time anyway.

After having had enough wine and food, Zhu Chuanren groped his stomach and came to the yard. He didn't see his second son, so he thought he had gone back to the house to rest. However, after asking a servant about it, he found out that he had gone to find the red turban.

This good-for-nothing guy is really inseparable from me all the time.

Zhu Chuanren's face turned dark, and he strode to the wing where the red turban stayed.

Before I even got closer, I heard laughter coming from inside. I didn’t even bother to open the door. I didn’t know what they were talking about so happily.

Zhu Chuanren did not go in, but stood at the door and coughed twice:

"Second brother, come out."

"Hey! Here we come!"

Chuanwu rushed out with a smile:
"San'er, what do you want from me?"

He glanced inside the room with a complicated expression and pouted at him:

"Walk with me~"

"what?"

"I have something to tell you, so don't talk nonsense."

"Ouch~" Chuanwu was reluctant. After all, he could be with a beautiful woman, so who cares about having fun with gentlemen?

The two brothers walked out of the yard one after another. Zhu Chuanwu couldn't help but asked:

"San'er, what do you want to do with me?"

"Second brother, I just had a chat with dad, and they are very concerned about your marriage."

"Ah?" Zhu Chuanwu was shocked.

"What? You are 24 years old. Look at the boss. The child is already three years old."

"No, I am, that one"

Seeing Zhu Chuanwu hesitating, Chuanren was furious.

"Stop pretending, I still don't know what you are thinking? Let me tell you, if you give up on this idea as soon as possible, there is no way that Red Turban will marry into Lao Zhu's family!"

Chuanwu is in a hurry:

"Why? What's wrong with her?"

"She's not clean!"

Zhu Chuanren's face was as gloomy as water. He could now feel the anger of Zhu Kaishan in the original drama. This second child could make people angry to death!
