- Fan Datong was so exhausted that he finally carried the one hundred kilogram load back to Caijiaxiang.
When he saw the dilapidated state of Zhao's yard, Fan Datong's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao had the foresight to ask his father to replace Fan Datong in advance.
"Brother, are you living here now?" Fan Datong looked at Zhao Shouzheng with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Haoxin said, this is still easy to fix. If you saw your original appearance, wouldn't you just throw yourself into a well and commit suicide?
Zhao Shouzheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Didn't I tell you last time? In order to bring peace to my father, my family has gone bankrupt."
"I just take it as an excuse for my brother not to borrow more money." Fan Datong looked hopeless and said in despair: "I didn't expect that my brother would really fall into such a situation."
The look of grief was as if he was the one suffering.
Zhao Haoxin said, is it because there is no place to take a beating?
He opened the door, helped Zhao Shouzheng unload the two bags of brown sugar, and carried them directly to his room.
When the father and son came out, they saw that Fan Datong had returned to normal. He was fetching water by himself in the courtyard and drinking from the cow.
"You didn't go back?" Zhao Hao asked in surprise.
I saw Fan Datong wiping the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said righteously: "My nephew's words are wrong. Am I one of those people who can only share riches and honors, but not share hardships?"
As he said that, he seemed to have made a lot of determination, and took out a piece of gold ingot from his sleeve, and said with a painful expression on his face:
"I haven't spent the five taels of silver yet, so I gave it back to my brother."
Zhao Shouzheng looked at his son and said nothing.
Zhao Hao knew what he was thinking. Now that he has one hundred kilograms of brown sugar, he can at least produce dozens of kilograms of white sugar. Why does he care about this little money? Then he fulfilled his father's wish and said, "There is no reason to take back the money given by my old Zhao family."
Zhao Shouzheng nodded vigorously and said, "I am very satisfied if you have such a heart. My son tells you to keep it, so just keep it."
"Then I'll keep it" Fan Datong looked at the father and son, but they didn't even pay attention to the five taels of silver. Then he happily took the five taels of silver into his arms and said, "The sage said, a gentleman seeks the way but not the food. I Now you can be considered a gentleman.¡±
"Oh, you don't want to make a living?" Zhao Haoxin said, are you too cheap for a gentleman? Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I thought I had to take care of the food."
"Of course, it would be better if you can take care of the food. Didn't the sage also say that? It's not surprising that you have friends coming from far away." Fan Datong hurriedly smiled and said: "Besides, I have shouldered all the work for your family. It really doesn¡¯t make sense that you don¡¯t care about a meal, right?¡±
¡°But there¡¯s no wine or meat, so I¡¯ll just have a mouthful of simple food.¡± Zhao Hao wasn¡¯t just bickering, he was really worried about how to arrange the dinner.
"My nephew is joking, how can I have no wine and no meat?" Fan Datong picked up the hemp rope hanging in the well and said with a mean smile: "What is this?"
Zhao Hao slapped his forehead and said suddenly: "I forgot that this happened."
That was the meat that Gao Wu had sent and cut before putting it into the well. It was still very fresh
??~~
Fan Datong did not just eat for free, he took the initiative to take over the cooking errands.
Zhao Hao didn¡¯t expect that he actually had good cooking skills. I saw this guy dividing five kilograms of meat into three parts, preparing to fry one plate and stew one bowl. Then fry the fat meat in oil and put it into the pot with the rice.
"Is there another way to eat it?" Zhao Shouzheng exclaimed while lighting the fire: "Brother Xian really impressed me."
"Fan Datong is also a bitch. When people praise him, he doesn't have a bone in his body." While waving the spatula skillfully, he said proudly: "This is Yudi's unique secret. It's called Fragrant Braised Pork Rice. It's most suitable for a situation like ours where there are few people to feed us!"
Hearing this, Zhao Hao said in his heart, it turns out that this person doesn¡¯t have a wife either Hey, why did I say ¡®yeah¡¯?
When Fan Datong finished stewing the meat, he offered it to Zhao Hao as if it were a treasure.
Zhao Hao ate a piece of meat and drank some soup, his eyes lit up and he said, "Sure enough, the craftsmanship is pretty good."
"Of course, I've eaten in every major restaurant in Nanjing!" Fan Datong was about to boast again, but saw Zhao Hao taking out the entire pot of stew.
"Oh, dear nephew, if you eat alone, you will get corns!" Fan Datong was a little anxious. To make the meat so delicious, he used his own secret collection of Nanyang spices, which are really valuable.
"Yes, this meat was sent from the front yard. Naturally, my son can't eat it alone." Zhao Shouzheng knew what Zhao Hao was doing and explained to Fan Datong with a smile.
"That's it. A good nephew has a beginning and an end to his work. If he can be more lenient, he will definitely be successful in the future." Fan Datong curled his lips and was about to reveal the truth.Turn on the rice cooker.
"Don't talk nonsense, my son is the most generous!" Zhao Shouzheng held it down and said, "Wait until my son comes back before eating."
"Okay, okay, listen to brother." Fan Datong stretched his neck, hoping that Zhao Hao would come back soon.
??~~
Zhao Hao walked to the blacksmith shop. He was already very familiar with blacksmith Gao and his son.
The father and son were also eating. When they saw Zhao Hao coming in with stew, Gao Wu quickly got up and took it.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Gao Tiejiang was already well, stood up and took Zhao Hao's hand, asking him to have dinner with him.
¡°Let¡¯s have dinner another day, there are guests at home tonight.¡± Zhao Hao declined with a smile.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Tiejiang Gao hurriedly asked his son to dig out a large bowl of pickled pickled melons and beans, and gave them to Zhao Hao to entertain his guests.
Zhao Hao did not refuse, thanked Blacksmith Gao, and asked Gao Wudao: "Brother Gao, are you free tomorrow?"
Gao Wu scratched his head, silently organizing his words with some difficulty.
These days, Zhao Hao also knows about his problem. Gao Wu probably had an injury to his speech center, but other than that, there were no problems at all.
"What can happen to the old man if he can't lift the hammer and the shop isn't open?" Blacksmith Gao answered for his son.
Gao Wu nodded quickly and said, "That's what I mean."
¡°Then tomorrow, Brother Gao, do me a favor and go out with me?¡± Zhao Hao asked with a smile.
"Okay." When Gao Wu answered this sentence, 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 looked through the autumn water, cheered: "It's time to eat!"
When the lid of the pot is opened, the aroma of meat and rice are mixed together, and the smell is extremely tempting.
This made the father and son, who had not had a full meal for a while, both of them hungry.
Who would have known that Fan Datong ate more than the two of them combined He ate half a pot of rice, a pound of meat, and half a bowl of pickles by himself.
Zhao Hao was dumbfounded when he saw it, thinking that he was really a big rice maker.
Even Zhao Shouzheng asked curiously: "Don't you have money? Why are you reincarnated like a hungry ghost?"
"Well, to be honest, after I separated from my brother that day, I met classmate Xu again and said that my brother's family was in ruins. Although I didn't believe it at the time, I thought that if this was the case, why would my brother lend me money so generously? But I have to see it with my own eyes. Only when I see the situation at my brother's house can I spend the money with peace of mind." Fan Datong said regretfully, "Who would have thought that my brother didn't want it and starved me for three days in vain."
Zhao Hao almost spit a mouthful of rice on his face. He didn¡¯t know what material this guy¡¯s belly was made of. He could eat half a pot and starve for three days The nickname of the Big Bucket of Rice was really not wrong at all.
"My dear nephew, don't be surprised for no reason." Fan Datong said with a nonchalant expression: "When I was the poorest, I drank cold water for seven days without eating a grain of rice."
"As a result, I fainted from hunger in the lecture hall and became a big joke in the Imperial College." Thinking of the past, Zhao Shouzheng laughed and said, "That's what this guy is like. He spends all the money he has without even thinking about the next day."
Zhao Hao gave a thumbs up to the two of them to express his admiration.
Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but blush, and then he remembered that he was also a piece of shit.
