Just when the Second Young Master Song was still struggling with whether he should pay the bill, Xie Lingyun who was next to him suddenly smiled and said: "I also said just now that I will pay for Mr. Zhou's tea money this time, and ask people to go back and pick it up after counting beads." 70 taels to the shopkeeper!"

Hearing the young lady's order, Suanzhu just wanted to agree, but the Second Young Master Song naturally couldn't let the woman he likes pay the bill for him, so he hurriedly stopped Suanzhu and said: "Lingyun wait a minute, how can I let you pay the bill when I'm here? How about this, let me write a note, the shopkeeper, you send someone to the Song Mansion to get the money!"

When Second Young Master Song said the above words, although he tried his best to appear indifferent, the corners of his mouth were twitching non-stop, and at the same time he was so distressed that he almost vomited blood. 70 taels is not a small amount, and his monthly bill of silver is only more than 30 taels. Now it is good, Zhou Zhong can drink his two months' expenses for a meal of tea, and he still doesn't know how to spend the next month Woolen cloth?

Seeing Second Young Master Song's distressed look, Xie Lingyun's beautiful eyes flashed an imperceptible cunning, and at the same time she was secretly laughing, this Second Young Master Song has no money for the time being, let's see how he will pester herself in the future?

At that moment, the Second Young Master Song wrote a note to the shopkeeper, and then forced himself to send Xie Lingyun out of the teahouse. After the master and servant of the Xie family disappeared from his sight, the second Young Master Song's little white face was immediately covered with haze, and his eyes turned to Zhou I looked at the direction of the mansion for a long time, and finally said viciously: "Zhou Zhong, I will let you enjoy yourself for two more days, and when your prospective father-in-law falls, I will make your Zhou family kneel on the ground and beg me! "

"Ah~" Zhou Zhong who was preparing dinner at home suddenly sneezed.

"Which beauty is talking about this young master again?" Zhou Zhong grumbled, then picked up the egg on the table and knocked it on the edge of the table, smashing the egg into the bowl very skillfully.

Originally, today's dinner was prepared by Zhuan'er. Although Zhuan'er used to be a rich lady, cooking skills were one of the compulsory courses for girls in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, although her cooking skills are not as good as Aunt Luo's, she is also Very good shot.But Zhou Zhong thinks that everyone has suffered a lot during this period, and it is necessary to have a big dinner to celebrate, so it is definitely not enough to rely on Zhuan'er alone. In the end, everyone did it together, except Aunt Wang who wanted to look at Duo'er , He and Butler Xu all went to help.

In his previous life, Zhou Zhong became an orphan early on. If he didn’t know how to cook, he would have starved to death. In addition, his mouth is relatively greedy, and he can’t eat less meat, so his cooking skills are still good. For example, today he made two dishes, one of which was braised tofu with pork bones, and the other was egg tofu and cabbage soup.Although Steward Xu is delicious, his cooking skills are really not very good, so he is only in charge of steaming rice, and bracelets are mainly in charge of the rest of the dishes.

The three of them had been busy until it was almost dark, so they prepared a table of rich dishes.Seeing that Zhou Zhong and Zhuo'er were so happy, Aunt Wang's mood improved a lot. Looking at the table full of food, she kept praising their brothers and sisters for their good craftsmanship, but she was a little strange: Zhou Zhong was the one who watched the elder The big one, but never knew he could cook?

In fact, it's not just Aunt Wang who is strange, Bracelet and Butler Xu are also strange, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, Zhou Zhong used to focus on his studies, and never cared about other things, how could he be able to cook first-hand?

Zhou Zhong didn't explain the questions in Aunt Wang's and Zhuan'er's minds. It's not that Zhou Zhong deliberately wanted to keep it mysterious, but that he didn't know how to explain it.In addition, he explained about cooking skills today, so if he reveals other talents in the future, he will definitely need to explain. At that time, he still doesn’t know what kind of lie to make up. It's better not to explain it at the beginning, let the people around him gradually get used to his mystery, and naturally no one will ask him anymore as time goes by.

Aunt Wang and Biao'er were somewhat puzzled, but seeing that Zhou Zhong didn't want to explain, they stopped asking. In addition, they had indeed suffered during this period. Not only did they have to bear the grief of Zhou Hai's death, but also Bearing the loss of the ruined family business, he can't eat well all day long and sleep well. Although Zhou Zhong has been asking Butler Xu to hide the current situation of the family from Aunt Wang and the others, Aunt Wang and Biao'er can also see that the situation at home may have come to an end It's the end of the mountain, otherwise I wouldn't be eating porridge and pickles every day.

Now the situation at home has finally improved, and seeing Zhou Zhong in good spirits, Aunt Wang and Bracelet both heaved a sigh of relief, and felt that a hanging heart was also let go, so this meal naturally They also ate very happily, and the food was very rich, so everyone ate a lot more than usual.

Zhou Zhong also has a big appetite. As a carnivore, letting him eat porridge and pickles for several days in a row is more uncomfortable than killing him. Although he ate the sweet and sour pork sent by Aunt Luo last night, the meat is not He couldn't satisfy his cravings, but instead hooked his cravings. If he couldn't eat meat again today, he might even have the thought of blocking the road and robbing.

It is precisely because of his vegetarian life during this period that Zhou Zhong felt that today’s food is extraordinarily delicious, especially the stewed tofu with pork bones. He and Duo’er each have two big bones in it. What he gnawed was full of oil, and Duo'erren didn't eat many snacks. Zhou Zhong gnawed the last two big bone sticks by himself, and he even knocked open the bone marrow and sucked them clean.This made the gluttonous Butler Xu salivate, but he was too embarrassed to ask Zhou Zhong for it, so in the end he could only desperately stuff tofu into his mouth.

Everyone was overwhelmed by the meal, especially Zhou Zhong and Duo'er, who were lying on their chairs and didn't want to move, and Biao'er was similar. After all, they were young people with poor self-control.In the end, it was Aunt Wang who helped Steward Xu clean up the mess, but just as Steward Xu delivered the things to the front kitchen, he heard someone knocking on the door, and Steward Xu ran to open the door, only to find Butcher Wu standing outside, There was also a car full of pork parked under the steps.

"Hey, Brother Wu Shan, I'm really sorry. We were eating in the backyard just now, and we couldn't hear the door calling from the front. Please wait for a long time!" Butler Xu remembered when he saw Wu Shan. The other party said that he would live in tonight. But they were so happy when they had dinner just now that they forgot about it, and they didn't know how long the other party had been knocking on the door, so they apologized as soon as they came up.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shan showed a simple and honest smile and said: "Butler Xu, you are being polite. In fact, I have just arrived. See if you are free now. I still have a cart of pork here. I want to push it to the yard to have a rest!"

"When I'm free, I'll open the corner door next to it. You push the car in, and I'll take you to see the yard!" Steward Xu said and opened the corner door next to the gate. The gate of Zhou Mansion has steps, so the car can't enter naturally. Come on, but the corner door next to it is used for the entry and exit of vehicles.

Butcher Wu rubbed his hands that were about to freeze, and pushed the car into the Zhou Mansion. It was completely dark at this time, but he still couldn't help looking around curiously. Therefore, he was also very curious about a rich family like the Zhou Mansion.

Facing Butcher Wu's curiosity, Steward Xu's face flashed a long-lost pride, but then he became a little lonely again.He first went to the kitchen to say hello to Fifth Auntie, and then took Butcher Wu to the two courtyards on the right side of the front yard of the Zhou Mansion and said, "Brother Wu, look, there are two courtyards here, and the courtyard at the back is where I live. , the yard in front is empty, it used to be a residence for guests, but the furniture inside is gone, we can provide a bed, but you have to prepare the bedding yourself!"

"Okay, it's good to have a bed. I've already brought the bedding!" Wu Shan was busy all afternoon today, and didn't have time to prepare anything, so he brought the bedding. He thought he would make a floor bedding today, but he didn't expect The Zhou family is willing to provide a bed, which saves him going to move the bed from home tomorrow.

At that moment, Steward Xu opened the gate of the yard, and led Butcher Wu with a lantern in front. After the other party pushed the car into the yard, Butler Xu briefly introduced the situation of the yard to him.

This yard is almost exactly the same as the yard where Steward Xu lives. Apart from the three main rooms, there are two ancillary rooms on both sides. Jane tidies up, one can be used as a kitchen, and the other can be used as a storage room. Wushan is used to store pork.

After Wu Shan looked at the courtyard, he was also very satisfied. At this time, Zhou Zhong also heard the news of Wu Shan's arrival from Aunt Wang, so he rushed over, and then he took Wu Shan to the servant's room, where there were many servants For the bed to live in, Wu Shan chose the strongest and bulkiest bed. After all, with his physique, ordinary beds really can't bear it.

Originally, Zhou Zhong wanted to help Wu Shan carry the bed, a bed weighed over a hundred catties, but he didn't expect that Wu Shan, a big man, was so strong that he could lift the bed and put it on his shoulders with one hand, it looked so light and effortless. It's like an ordinary person moving a small chair, which makes Zhou Zhong can't help but praise: "Good strength!"

After arranging Wu Shan, Zhou Zhong returned to the backyard, and Steward Xu chatted with Wu Shan for a while, mainly telling him the things to pay attention to when living in the mansion. For example, Wu Shan can only move around in the front yard, while Zhou Zhong and Aunt Wang are in the backyard. Most of their residences are women's relatives, so they are absolutely not allowed to enter. Wu Shan also understands this, and naturally nods in agreement.

When Zhou Zhong returned to the inner house, he wanted to write down the Journey to the West in his mind silently in the study room, so that Butler Xu could prepare earlier, get famous as soon as possible, and earn his first pot of gold for himself.With this most critical first pot of gold, he can also borrow money to make money, so that the family can recover as soon as possible.

But when Zhou Zhong passed by the back garden, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the yard.
