Chapter 23: Datong
Fan Datong was tired of being a dead dog, and finally carried the burden of one hundred catties back to Caijia Lane.
When he saw the dilapidated appearance of the Zhao family's courtyard, Fan Datong's eyes were dark and he almost fainted.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao had the foresight to let his father replace Fan Datong in advance.
"Brother lives here now?" Fan Datong looked at Zhao Shouzheng with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Haoxin said, this is still a good life. If you saw the original appearance, wouldn't you just throw yourself into a well?
Zhao Shouzheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Didn't I tell you last time?" In order to make peace for my father, my family has gone bankrupt. ”
"I just take it as an excuse for my brother's reluctance to borrow more money." Fan Datong looked loveless, and said in despair: "I didn't expect my brother to really fall into such a field." ”
The grief was as if he were the one who suffered.
Zhao Haoxin said, is it because there is nowhere to pump the abundance?
opened the door and helped Zhao Shouzheng unload the two bags of brown sugar and carry them directly to his room.
When the father and son came out, they saw that Fan Datong had returned to normal, fetching water from the patio and drinking from the cow.
"You didn't go back?" Zhao Hao asked in surprise.
I saw Fan Datong wiping the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said righteously: "The virtuous nephew's words are wrong. Am I one who can only share riches with riches, and not with afflictions? ”
Saying that, he seemed to have made a lot of determination, took out an ingots from his sleeve, and said with pain on his face:
"I haven't spent five taels of silver yet, and I've returned it to my brother."
Zhao Shouzheng looked at his son and didn't speak.
Zhao Hao knows his thoughts, now that a hundred catties of brown sugar are in hand, at least dozens of catties of white sugar can be produced, how can he care about this bit of silver? He fulfilled his father's wish and said: "There is no reason to get the money back from my old Zhao family." ”
Zhao Shouzheng nodded vigorously and said, "If you can have this heart, I am very satisfied." I'll let you keep it, so keep it. ”
"Then I'll take it......" Fan Datong looked at the father and son, but he didn't even put the five taels of silver in his eyes, so he said happily in his arms: "Sage Yun, the gentleman seeks the way and does not seek food." I'm a gentleman now. ”
"Oh, don't you want to eat?" Zhao Haoxin said, you gentleman is too cheap, right? Wen Yan smiled and said, "I thought I had to take care of the food." ”
"Of course, it would be better if I could take care of the food. Didn't the saints say it again? There are friends from afar, and they don't talk about it. Fan Datong hurriedly laughed and said: "Besides, I have carried this work for your family, and I don't even care about a meal, it's really unreasonable, right?" ”
"But there is no wine or meat, so you can only take a bite of coarse tea and light rice." Zhao Hao is not just bickering, he is really worried about how to open up this dinner.
"The virtuous nephew laughed, how could there be no wine and no meat?" saw Fan Datong carrying the hemp rope hanging in the well, and said with a smile: "What is this?" ”
Zhao Hao patted his head and said suddenly: "I forgot that there is still this stubble." ”
That's the meat that Gao Wu sent and cut and went into the well, and it's still very fresh......
~~
Fan Datong didn't just eat white food, and took the initiative to take over the errand of cooking.
Zhao Hao didn't expect that he still had good cooking skills. I saw that this guy divided the five catties of meat into three parts, and prepared to fry a plate and stew a bowl. Then the fat was fried in oil and put in the rice and put in the pot together.
"And this way to eat?" Zhao Shouzheng exclaimed while lighting the fire: "Brother Xian really impresses me. ”
Fan Datong is also a slut, and when people boast about it, there are no bones left in his body. While skillfully wielding the spatula, he said triumphantly: "This is the exclusive mastery of the foolish brother, called Piaoxiang Braised Meat Rice, which is most suitable for our situation where there is no one to feed people!" ”
Zhao Hao said in his heart when he heard this, it turned out that this person did not have a wife...... Hey, why do I say 'too'?
When Fan Datong stewed the meat, he offered Zhao Hao a taste of it.
Zhao Hao ate a piece of meat and drank a sip of soup, and his eyes lit up and said, "Sure enough, the craftsmanship is good." ”
"Of course, I'm a person who has eaten all the major restaurants in Nanjing!" Fan Datong wanted to brag proudly again, but saw Zhao Hao take out the whole pot of stew.
"Alas, virtuous nephew, eating alone will give birth to corns!" Fan Datong was a little anxious, he was able to stew the meat so deliciously, but he used his own secret Nanyang spices, which were really valuable.
"That's right, this meat was sent from the front yard, so naturally my son can't eat it alone." Zhao Shouzheng knew what Zhao Hao was doing, and explained to Fan Datong with a smile.
"I see. The virtuous nephew has a beginning and an end in his work, if he can be lenient, he will definitely have a future in the future. Fan Datong pouted and was about to uncover the rice pot.
"Hugh is talking nonsense, my son is the most generous!" Zhao Shouzheng held it down and said, "I'll eat it when my son comes back." ”
"Okay, listen to my brother." Fan Datong stretched his neck, looking forward to Zhao Hao's quick return.
~~
Zhao Hao raised his feet and went to the blacksmith shop, he was already very familiar with the father and son of the high-speed railsmith.
The father and son were also eating, and when they saw Zhao Hao coming in with stew, Gao Wu hurriedly got up and took it.
The high-speed railmaker was already in good health, got up and took Zhao Hao's hand and invited him to eat together.
"Let's have dinner another day, there are still guests at home tonight." Zhao Hao smiled and declined.
The high-speed railsmith hurriedly asked his son to dig a big bowl of his pickled melons and beans and give them to Zhao Hao to go back to entertain guests.
Zhao Hao didn't shirk either, thanked the high-speed railmaker, and asked Gao Wudao: "Is Brother Gao free tomorrow?" ”
Gao Wu scratched his head, and silently organized the language with some difficulty.
Zhao Hao also knows about his problem these days. Gao Wu was probably injured in the center of the language, but other than that, there was no problem at all.
"The old man can't carry a hammer, and the shop can't open, what can he do?" The high-speed railman replied for his son.
Gao Wu nodded hurriedly and said, "That's what I meant." ”
"Then Brother Gao will do me a favor tomorrow and go out with me?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.
"Yes." When Gao Wu replied to this, he was no different from ordinary people.
"Then you wait at home tomorrow, and I'll call you then."
~~
When Zhao Hao returned home with two bowls of pickles, Fan Datong, who was looking through the autumn water, cheered and said, "You can start the meal!" ”
When the lid is lifted, the aroma of meat and rice is mixed together, and the smell is extremely attractive.
This made the father and son, who hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time, all of them have a big appetite.
Who knows, Fan Datong eats more than the two of them combined...... He alone killed half a pot of rice, a pound of meat, and spared half a bowl of pickles.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was dumbfounded, he said in his heart that it was really a rice bucket.
Even Zhao Shouzheng asked curiously: "Don't you have silver, how can you be a hungry ghost reincarnated?" ”
"Alas, it's not a secret, after separating from my brother that day, I met Xu Tongxue again, and he also said that my brother's family was defeated. Although I didn't believe it at the time, I thought that if this was the case, why did my brother lend me money generously? But you have to see the situation of your brother's family with your own eyes, so that the money can be spent with peace of mind. I only heard Fan Datong regret and said: "Who knew that my brother didn't want it, and I was hungry for three days in vain." ”
Zhao Hao almost sprayed a mouthful of rice on his face, and he didn't know what material this guy's stomach was made of, he could eat half a pot of food, and he could be hungry for three days...... The nickname of the rice bucket is really not wrong at all.
"The virtuous nephew Hugh is inexplicably surprised." Fan Datong said disapprerovingly: "When I was the poorest, I drank cold water for seven days, and I didn't have a grain of rice. ”
"As a result, I fainted in the lecture hall with hunger, and it became a big joke for the national eunuch." Thinking of the past, Zhao Shouzheng laughed and said: "This guy is like this, he spends all the money on his body, and he doesn't think about the next day at all." ”
Zhao Hao gave a thumbs up to the two of them, expressing his admiration.
Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but blush, and then remembered that he was also a good man.
