Chapter 105: Can't tell the difference between vegetable seedlings and weeds
Seeing Mr. Jiang's eyes suddenly brighten up, Zheng Yuan thought he was hungry. Could it be that Hui Niang cooked wild vegetable porridge for him today?
"Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment. We will cook for you right away." Zheng Yuan smiled apologetically at Mr. Jiang and quickly went into the kitchen with a group of people.
Mr. Jiang's raised hand was left suspended in mid-air, with an unspoken greeting on his lips.
Why is it so difficult to find someone to talk to?
Fortunately, Dashu and Erhe just went in to put some things and came out soon.
Seeing that there was nothing to do at the moment, the two went to the backyard to see if the vegetable seeds planted a few days ago had sprouted. Seeing that the two were about to leave, Master Jiang followed them to the backyard.
The seedlings grew well, and of course the grass grew even better. Dashu and Erhe were squatting down to pull out weeds, and when they saw him following them, they didn't go to the toilet, but squatted by the ground and watched them work, feeling puzzled.
"Mr. Jiang, is there anything wrong?" Dashu stopped weeding and looked up to ask Mr. Jiang.
"Nothing, I just think your work is interesting. It's okay, you guys just do it, don't worry about me, I'll just watch from here."
Nothing? I guess you just came here to enjoy our hardship.
Dashu and Erhe complained in their hearts, "Working is fun, but what's so fun about this yellow mud? I really can't understand the hobbies of these rich young men. Why don't you try carrying manure for a day?"
Although the sun had begun to set, its residual heat was still very high, and when the setting sun hit my body I soon broke out in a layer of fine, dense sweat.
Young Master Jiang squatted for a while and chatted with the two of them in a casual manner, while he also imitated them and walked in the field pulling weeds from time to time with his hands.
Soon, there was a small empty space where he was squatting.
With Master Jiang standing by, Dashu and Erhe still felt very uncomfortable and answered his questions carefully.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were busy in the kitchen. They saw this scene through the window and felt amused. It seemed that Mr. Jiang was bored and found the two of them to talk.
Well, it's good to train the two kids, Dashu and Erhe. Otherwise, if they are responsible for the business later, they will not be able to make any progress, so what's the point of running the business?
Erhe is okay, but Dashu is too honest and dull.
The two children pulled for a while and then straightened up. When they saw what Mr. Jiang was pulling out, the expressions on their faces suddenly became distorted, but they didn't know what to say.
Young Master Jiang was completely unaware and continued pulling out the silkworms one by one.
In the end, Erhe couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mr. Jiang, the seedlings are too small to be eaten when they first grow out. If you want to eat them, you have to wait for a while and then pick them and eat them when they grow up." Erhe chose his words carefully.
Young Master Jiang was startled and stood there in a daze with a seedling he had just pulled up in his hand. It turned out that after pulling for such a while, he had pulled out only seedlings?
How embarrassing!
He didn't pull out all the vegetable seedlings, but he just picked up all the vegetable seedlings and grass sprouts in one pot.
Young Master Jiang put down what he was holding, stood up, and patted the dirt off his hands awkwardly: "I'm sorry, this is my first time pulling weeds, I thought these were weeds. But Brother Dashu, Brother Erhe, you two are amazing, you can actually tell the difference between such small seedlings and weeds. Haha~"
This haha is very spiritual. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin who heard their conversation in the kitchen almost fainted with laughter. They had to cover their mouths tightly to control themselves from laughing out loud.
We have to protect Young Master Jiang's fragile self-esteem.
Erhe is also a talented person. The seedlings are too small to be eaten when they first grow out, which really puts him in a difficult position. It took him a long time to come up with this explanation.
Dashu and Erhe listened to Mr. Jiang's compliment and forced a smile. What's so amazing about it? These vegetable seedlings look so different from weeds. Could it be that Mr. Jiang has an eye disease?
Fortunately, Aji came back with the things and saved Master Jiang who was about to be broken.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Aji shouted loudly for his young master.
"Master! Master!"
Mr. Jiang had never missed Aji so much. Aji's voice was so beautiful.
But he still had to pretend nothing happened, and slowly clapped his hands in response: "I'm in the backyard!"
But his fast steps betrayed him, he almost ran to the front yard, he had to quickly escape from this shameful place.
As soon as he left, Dashu and Erhe felt much more at ease as they pulled weeds and talked.
After dinner, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin took out snacks and shared them with the children.
Young Master Jiang was also staring at the snacks in their hands. Zheng Yuan took out two pieces and handed them to him and Aji with some amusement: "Young Master Jiang, try this snack too. Brother Aji, have some too."
Mr. Jiang took it and put it in his mouth impatiently, then froze in his place. Why is this snack so unpalatable? Why do they seem to be eating it so sweetly?
But what he wanted, he could only endure and swallow it hard.
While the children were eating snacks, the two of them carried two bags of snacks and a jar of wine to the Chen family's old house.
Old Man Chen and his family had just finished their meal. The courtyard gate was wide open and the old man was wrapping tobacco at the gate.
Seeing them come in, the old man stood up and tapped the pipe in his hand: "Second son's wife, Far Eastern wife, why are you here?"
The two men handed the things in their hands to the old man, who was startled and took a step back without taking the things.
"What is this for?"
"Dad, we want to open a brothel, but neither of us knows how to do it. We would like to trouble you and my eldest brother to help us build one." Zheng Yuan explained.
"Why are you two setting up a brothel in the middle of summer?" the old man was puzzled.
"We are planning to start a business together with Mr. Jiang, and we need to use this kiln."
"Partnering with Young Master Jiang?" The old man was shocked again. The second son's wife had previously done a great business in ice jelly with the steward of Mr. Zhang's family in the town. Young Master Jiang seemed to be favored by the people in the Zhang family, and the second son's wife actually had a relationship with them again.
Mrs. Chen, who was busy in the kitchen, came out when she heard the noise and was also shocked when she heard their conversation. However, she didn't say much about the second son's wife's family, so as to avoid the second son's wife feeling that she was overreaching.
"Why are you asking so much? Just go if you are asked to help. Tomorrow morning, take the eldest son over there to help the second son's wife build one. Second son's wife, take back the things in your hands. Building a kiln is not a big deal. It is not worth you bringing so many things."
The old man then remembered that when his second son's wife was a bad boy, even if the old woman brought some food to the four children, she would be scolded at the door, saying that they were greedy and just wanted the family's land.
Thinking of this, the old man put away his curious look and said, "I'll take your eldest brother there tomorrow morning."
Since they didn't ask, Zheng Yuan naturally didn't want to explain. This thing was too complicated to explain.
"Okay! Dad, Mom, keep these things. We will wait for you at home tomorrow morning."
Old Mrs. Chen stepped forward and said, "What are you collecting? Take your things and go back!"
As he was about to push the two people out, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other, bent down, put the things on the ground, turned around and ran away.
"Mom! Don't send it back! If you send it back, it means you think it's too little!"
Looking at the two people's backs running away quickly, the old lady smiled and spat. How come these two people are like children, getting older and older?
"Xiao Zhu, Shitou, here, take the things your second aunt brought and share them. You old man, you really enjoy the blessing of the second son's wife. Look at this wine, I'm afraid it won't be cheap." The old lady said sourly.
"What kind of jealousy are you, old woman? This is my reward for helping me. If you want it, just take half of it from the jar."
The old man rolled his eyes at the old lady, took the wine and took a sip: "It is indeed a good wine. These two are really something. They don't know how to live at all. They bought this wine specially. If I had this money, I could just buy some Shaodao to make it. It would be enough for me to drink for half a month."
Although he complained, the old man couldn't suppress the smile and went back to his room with a jar of wine.
