Republic of China small businessman

Cao Yunzhao has a very good relationship with him. They have known each other for many years. In his impression, Bai Jiu doesn't care much about anything. It is common for them to exchange the cultural and antique items he got for a while. If he likes something, ask Bai Jiu for it. , it will definitely work, this is the first time I haven't asked for it.

The more this happened, the more curious Young Master Cao became, and he took a look at the young man behind Bai Jiu. Except for his outstanding appearance, the rest seemed to be nothing special.

Bai Jiuye accompanied the distinguished guests to look for Huang Mingyou, because Cao Yunzhao had a letter on his body and wanted to hand it over to Mr. Huang.

As soon as Cao Yunzhao saw Huang Mingyou, he went over to say hello, "Hello, sir. I haven't seen you in two years. Are you in good health? I brought a lot of liao ginseng, and I will send it to the small kitchen to make your favorite millet liao ginseng porridge."

Huang Mingyou taught the young masters of Cao and Bai's family at the beginning, and it was later that he went to Bai Rongjiu's side, so Cao Yunzhao also called him Mr.Huang Mingyou saw that his students were also smiling, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to remember, but the chef here is not as good as Quan Dezhai, I'm afraid they can't cook such good taste."

Cao Yunzhao said with a smile: "I think so too. When I came here, I brought along the chef from Quandezhai. You haven't eaten his dishes for a long time, sir? Let him show his skills at noon and cook a few of your favorite dishes." dishes."

Huang Mingyou was a little surprised when he heard it, and nodded repeatedly.

Bai Jiuye said from the side: "Guangting has spent a lot of thought on coming this time, and he also specially invited Chai Xuehe from Beiping."

"Oh?" Huang Mingyou looked at the students and said comfortingly, "Guangting has a heart."

Cao Yunzhao said politely: "Where it is, as long as the master likes it."

Bai Jiuye said again: "On Guangting Road, I also said that I miss the time when I was studying and playing chess with you."

Cao Yunzhao: "..."

Huang Mingyou really became interested: "Guang Ting, what a coincidence, I really have half a game of chess that I didn't finish last night. Let's go, I can't help being itchy when you say that, you can accompany me to finish that game." Half game!"

The smile on Cao Yunzhao's face twisted for a while, but he managed to maintain it. He kept winking at the side, but Master Jiu pretended not to see it.

Cao Yunzhao began to drag people into the water: "Bai Jiu, too? You play better than me, sit by the side and be the referee."

Huang Mingyou waved his hand, refusing to agree: "Don't want him, his chess moves are unorthodox, and his moves don't follow the chess records. Guangting, let's go play chess."

Master Cao followed the teacher with a bitter face.

Xie Jing watched from the side without making a sound, but waited for the person to leave and couldn't help but follow the back for a while. When he turned around, he was caught by Master Jiu, feeling inexplicably guilty.

Master Jiu frowned and asked, "You want to go back and play chess too?"

Xie Jing shook his head vigorously, he didn't want to.

It was rare for Master Jiu to come out for a stroll in the garden, and there was no one around, so he walked with Xie Jing while admiring the snow scene.

A cluster of red vermilion fruits grew on a tree by the side of the road, clusters of small, bean-sized fruits, red and covered with a little snow, a long-tailed tit flew over and stepped on the thin branches, rustling a lot of falling snow.

Xie Jing broke off two of the brightest branches, intending to hold them back. When the probe came back, Master Jiu reached out to cover the lower branches for him, and said: "Bend down."

Xie Jing was dexterous, Mao Yao backed out, and gave him the red fruit in his hand: "Master, take these back and put them in the study. I see, these are the most beautiful."

Master Jiu laughed, nodded in agreement, and then raised his hand to straighten a bunch of his hair that was caught up by the branches, and asked casually, "Why did you keep staring at the guest just now, as if you knew him?"

Xie Jing groaned, and looked down at Hongzhu Guo: "I don't know, I just want to see what kind of people I have been waiting for all morning."

Master Jiu: "Now that I've seen it, what do you think?"

Xie Jing pondered his thoughts, and tentatively said: "It's okay? No master."

Master Jiu raised his hand and lightly patted the snow off his shoulders, and said, "You don't know how powerful he is. You'll know when you get back to the provincial capital in a few days and get to know him a lot."

Bai Jiuye didn't go out very often in winter, so he walked around a little to enjoy the snow, and then went back.

Xie Jing followed behind him.

He has a keen sense of Jiuye's emotions. When he said that sentence just now, he could feel that Master Jiu was very happy.

Xie Jing looked up at his back, his eyes slightly bent, he had never seen the current Master Jiu before, it turned out that this man also had a time when he was competitive, and he said that Cao Yunzhao was great, but if he really went along with the praise just now , It is estimated that he will be hit in the head.

East Court.

Cao Yunzhao did have some skills, so he just procrastinated from playing chess, but talked about official business with Mr. Huang.

When Xie Jing accompanied Jiuye in, Cao Yunzhao was working as a lobbyist, trying to persuade Mr. Huang to take up a job in a university in Peking.

Cao Yunzhao: "Sir, Principal Cai also asked me to come here. The new school has just been established, and the departments are not complete. There is really a shortage of people."

Huang Mingyou was holding a letter in his hand, and he had already opened it and read it. His old friend begged in the letter, only asking Huang Mingyou to move to Beiping, and almost came to pick him up in person.This matter did not happen in a day or two. As early as half a year ago, when the new university in Beiping was established, the other party began to look for him. He wrote several times to invite him to give lectures, but Huang Mingyou just declined. He sent letters, books and students, but refused Take a step away from the Northland.

Huang Mingyou said the same thing at this moment, and said with a smile: "Go back and tell him for me that I have more important things to do here."

Cao Yunzhao touched the tip of his nose and smiled: "Principal Cai also guessed that you would say that. He asked me to bring the second letter."

The second letter arrived, and Huang Mingyou was amused when he opened it and looked at it. The other party mailed a movie ticket with three large characters: "Empty City Strategies".

This is a trick of mourning soldiers and failed to sing, so I started to think of other tricks. Knowing that Huang Mingyou likes to go to the theater, I specially found the best ticket to let him feel compassion, and it was also a sign that I had already sung on my side. "Empty city plan", ask him for help.

Mr. Huang was really tempted when he looked at the theater tickets. Everything here in Qinghe is good, the folk customs are simple and the books provided by Master Jiu are also sufficient, but there are too few theaters, and famous actors don’t come here. It’s really hard to listen to a play. .

When Lord Jiu came in, he just heard this sentence and said, "Why don't I ask Zhang Huwei to send Mr. to Beiping for a few days?"

Huang Mingyou shook his head and said: "That won't work, I'm here to help you, how can I leave just because of such a trivial matter, what kind of talk is that?"

Cao Yunzhao smoothed things over, made a look of envy, and sighed: "Bai Jiu, I really want to envy you. The family gives money to the machine, and as you toss around, even the teacher will help you now, hey, I don’t know when I will have such a blessing.”

The corners of Master Jiu's lips raised slightly, ignored his poor talk, sat down and asked about Peking University. Cao Yunzhao had no job, was alone, was playing around, and knew things about Peking, so he talked to him about it.

Huang Mingyou asked: "But you want to send the second young master to college?"

Master Jiu shook his head: "I have other arrangements for him, and he will follow me to the provincial government in the next year. I remember one person who was unsuccessful in studying abroad last year, surnamed Du, who studied hard and was clever. Let him take the exam and try. Maybe it will be a way out."

Huang Mingyou: "I remember that kid, he has a good foundation, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Master Jiu took a sip of tea, and then ordered the people around him: "In addition, take another ten thousand silver dollars and donate it to a famous school in Peking in the name of Mr. Huang. Just say that Mr. Huang is busy with work and really can't take time off, so I would like to express my heart."

Before Huang Mingyou could speak, Cao Yunzhao had already bowed to the old professor in Peiping, and bowed to Baijiu with a smile on his face, and said, "That's kind, I'll thank you on behalf of President Cai first, this really solves the urgent need, now I can use it everywhere For money, President Cai also holds a public job, running on both sides."

Xie Jing brought a plate of crabapple fruit and crisp candy and put it there, Master Jiu picked up two ruddy crabapple nuts and stuffed them in his hands, Xie Jing bowed his head to accept them, and stood behind quietly eating them.

Cao Yunzhao couldn't help but glance over twice. After watching for a long time, he felt that the child was quite attractive. When the other party was eating fruit, he couldn't help but look at those hands. Along the way, he saw slightly parted lips and clicks. He gnawed the fruit softly, for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was the crabapple fruit that was redder, or the boy's lips.

Master Jiu was talking there, and Cao Yunzhao heard the words clearly in his ears, but he couldn't understand what it meant for a while. When the other party called his name, he said in a daze, "Ah? Oh, yes."

Master Jiu leaned back slightly, beckoning the children beside him to come over, and lowered his voice a little bit to order: "Mr. Cao is not used to eating crabapple, go to the small kitchen to get some other fruits."

Xie Jing wanted to leave, but Cao Yunzhao couldn't bear him to leave, so he hurriedly stopped and said, "Hey, I can eat it, let me taste one."

Xie Jing was a little puzzled, and reached out to pass it over.

Cao Yunzhao took a mouthful casually, and as soon as he put it in his mouth and bit it, his saliva came out so sour that he couldn't bite off the flesh, so he put the fruit back angrily: "My teeth are not very good, forget it, don't eat it Already." He looked at Xie Jing several times, and couldn't help but ask, "Not sour?"

Xie Jing shook his head, he thought it was quite sweet.

Master Jiu called him again from behind, Xie Jing turned around and went out, the thick curtain fell softly, and his footsteps gradually moved away.

Cao Yunzhao said cheekily: "Bai Jiu, you really can't borrow me? I'll just use it for two days and return it to you immediately after the charity performance is over."

Master Jiu said: "He can't act or sing, are you sure he will be on stage in two days?"

Cao Yunzhao said with a grin: "Then lend me some more time. Seriously, I've been in theaters for so many years, and I've read countless people. The little Xie next to you is indeed a good seed. It's just serving tea and water by your side. It's useless for you to keep it, why don't you give it to me, how about I give you a hundred acres of tea garden? Or the mountain you saw last time?"

Master Jiu put down his teacup, his face was slightly cold: "Isn't it enough for you to come here to play the autumn wind?"

Cao Yunzhao was not afraid of him, he stood there and said righteously: "Where is this talking, what is the autumn wind, I am here to worship the God of Wealth."

In the small kitchen, Xie Jing was carefully picking fruits, not knowing that there was almost a quarrel in the flower hall because of him.

When eating at noon, Xie Jing brought hot rice wine once, and didn't go in again.

The chef in the small kitchen is a little frustrated today, because he didn’t let him touch the dishes at noon. They were all cooked by the master chef brought by Cao Yunzhao. Let, but it's time to make lunch, and the smoke is already filling the air.

Xie Jing went to help for a while, and was politely persuaded by the master to come back. The other party also brought his own apprentice, so they don't need to worry about it at all.

The people in the small kitchen dragged Xie Jing to sit aside, and said angrily: "Little Xie, don't worry about him, I haven't returned to the provincial government for two years, and I have lost my reputation. Back then, who didn't know my name 'Zhang Yidao' No!" Master Zhang is best at knife work, but the other party didn't let him touch the chopping board, so he couldn't be more angry.

Another person came over and said in a low voice: "I saw that they brought seasoning packets, and I sniffed them when they weren't paying attention. There are at least five or six kinds of spices in them."

"No, I've smelled it too, not only that, it seems there's sweet-scented osmanthus and tangerine peel..."

Xie Jing brought a bowl of rice, picked up some vegetables, pricked up her ears and ate while listening.

He is growing his body, and he tastes good on anything he eats.

After a while, someone came over to spread the word, asking Master Zhang in the small kitchen to make bone soup.

Master Zhang got up triumphantly, and walked over with a kitchen knife and beef bones.

Just as Quan Dezhai's master was about to take it, Master Zhang stopped him, raised his chin and said, "Do you know who this is for? You don't even know how much salt and cooking wine you used. Don't delay me." work!"

He was so imposing, the other party hesitated for a moment, but didn't dare to stop him.

The master in the small kitchen chops the bone vigorously, puts [-]% of his effort into making a bowl of thick and fragrant bone soup, and happily brings it to Xie Jing on a tray. He watches him sip and asks: "How is it, how about the saltiness?" ?”

Xie Jing nodded and said yes.

Master Zhang immediately became proud.

It's hard to say anything else, he has been making this bone soup for half a year, and he knows exactly what flavor Xiao Xie likes!

The author has something to say: Worshiping the God of Wealth in the Small Theater:

Young Master Cao: God of Wealth, God of Wealth, please give me some relief food!

Then he got grain.

Young Master Cao: God of Wealth, God of Wealth, please give me some money to build the school!

Then he got ten thousand silver dollars.

Young Master Cao: God of Wealth, please take the little Xie by your side...

Bai·Caishen·Jiuye kicked him and kicked him out.
