The Peasant Gourment Chef - Chapter 35

On the second day, Li Hehua planned to take Shulin to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone after closing the stall, and then send Shulin to Master Gu’s school. Today, he will go to the teacher and give the bundle of repairs to him. He will officially go to school tomorrow.

Li Hehua originally wanted to close the stall early today, but there were a lot of customers today, because it was just in time for the double-day market day, and there were many merchant ships on the dock. Many people disembarked to rest and eat, so that both Li Hehua and Dahe were too busy. Come on, I want Da Ya to help out while selling cakes.

Li Hehua was cooking a bowl of dumplings when he saw that Dahe was closing the table and had no time to serve it to the guests, so he had to put down the spatula and prepare to serve it by himself, but because the number of dumplings in this bowl was a bit large, the dumpling soup was almost full to the edge Now, Li Hehua’s hand was scalded as soon as he touched it, so frightened that Li Hehua hurriedly touched his ear.

When Li Hehua was about to wrap his hands with a rag again, a pair of big hands carried the bowl away from the side.

Li Hehua was startled, looked up, and saw that Zhang Tieshan had neatly brought the dumplings to the guest.

Why does this person always appear suddenly?

Li Hehua asked him, “Why are you here?” Are you here to sell prey again today?

Zhang Tieshan glanced at her lightly, “Aren’t you going to take Shulin to the academy to worship the master today? I’ll take you there.” He asked a woman to take her child to buy things and worship the teacher. Zhang Tieshan couldn’t do it. This woman has already done it for Shulin. Do a lot.

It turned out that she was worried that she took Shulin to apprentice, Li Hehua nodded, and said nothing, turned around and continued to work.

The next customer ordered fish-flavored shredded pork rice. Li Hehua took out the fish-flavored shredded pork fried last night and the rice cooked in the morning, neatly made a bowl and poured it, and was about to call Dahe to serve it. Go, those rough hands took the bowl away again.

Li Hehua frowned slightly and wanted to stop Zhang Tieshan, but he had already brought the bowl to the guest.

When Zhang Tieshan came back, Li Hehua hurriedly said to him, “Don’t be busy, Zhang Tieshan, take Shulin to sit.” How could she be so embarrassed to ask him to help? After all, it didn’t matter, and she was not the helper she asked.

Zhang Tieshan looked at her, “You are so busy here, can you come here by yourself?”

She is really busy, but…

Zhang Tieshan ignored her and turned to help Dahe to clear the table.

Li Hehua opened his mouth and was speechless, thinking that he must not be allowed to do it again next time, which is really inappropriate.

However, with Zhang Tieshan’s help, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. Finally, at the end of the day, the guests gradually disappeared, and everyone could take a breath.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Hehua hurriedly cooked a few bowls of noodles with the prepared pork rib soup, “Come here, everyone, eat some noodles, are you hungry? It’s been hard work today.”

Da He was already hungry, and when he heard the words, he was the first to pick up the bowl of noodles and devoured it. After taking the first bite, he sighed contentedly, “Aunt Lotus, what I look forward to most every day is the time to close the stall, Because it’s really delicious to be able to eat what you make.”

Li Hehua was amused by Da He’s intoxication, and patted him on the shoulder, “Okay, don’t flatter your Aunt Lotus. Hurry up and eat while sitting. It’s not good to eat while standing.”

Dahe went to the table and muttered: “Aunt Lotus, I’m not flattering, it’s really because the things you make are so delicious, my mother said that I’ve gained weight these days.”

Li Hehua smiled, secretly thinking that it would be better if he gained weight, otherwise a young man who is thin is not as heavy as a little girl, and it will be uncomfortable to watch.

Li Hehua filled another bowl of noodles and gave it to Zhang Tieshan, with a few spare ribs specially added in it, “Hurry up and eat, thank you very much today.”

Zhang Tieshan silently took the bowl and sat down to eat.

There was still a little bit of noodles left in the pot, so Li Hehua used a small bowl, which happened to be a small bowl, and brought it to the table to eat with them.

Zhang Tieshan stopped eating noodles, looked at Li Hehua’s bowl, and frowned.

Li Hehua wondered, “What’s wrong?” Why are you looking at her?

Zhang Tieshan tapped her bowl with his chin, “Is there not enough noodles to eat?”

Li Hehua glanced at his bowl, then understood what he meant, and explained, “It’s not that I don’t have enough to eat, it’s that I eat so much. How can people who want to lose weight eat like normal people, otherwise how can they eat? thin.”

Hearing this, Da He raised his head from the noodle bowl and said, “Yes, yes, Aunt Hehua has always eaten only a little bit of this, and I feel hungry for her when I see it. But Aunt Hehua has indeed lost a lot of weight. I lost a lot of weight when I saw you.”

Women are always happy when others say they are thin, and Li Hehua also laughed. Although she knew that she was thin, she still felt very happy when she said it from other people’s mouths. This is a woman…

Li Hehua reached out and tugged at her clothes secretly. These are new clothes that she specially made at the cloth village some time ago. They fit her figure, but they started to loosen after wearing them in the past two days, which shows that she is still in the Continue to lose weight, I believe that after a while, the clothes will be loose again.

Li Hehua’s mouth curled up, happy~

Zhang Tieshan’s brows did not loosen. No wonder she lost so much weight. It turned out that she lost weight by starvation. He had been hungry before, and knew how uncomfortable it was to be hungry. She is starving herself like this every day now?

Zhang Tieshan looked at Li Hehua again. In fact, she is not too fat now. She can only say that she is a little fat, but she is not ugly, so why treat herself like this?

Zhang Tieshan wanted to open his mouth to say that she didn’t want to go hungry, but thinking that he could only be regarded as an outsider to her, in the end he didn’t say anything and ate the noodles with a big mouth.

After eating, a few people put away the stall, Da He returned to the village, Li Hehua took the little guy and Zhang Tieshan to Gu Fuzi’s school together.

On the way to the school, Li Hehua first took the little guy to a shop that sold the four treasures of the study, and picked a small bookcase of the smallest size for the little guy. This is a schoolbag used by scholars in this era. Originally, Li Hehua was thinking about giving it to the little guy. To be a modern backpack, unfortunately, she can’t watch her needlework at all, and finally gave up this plan.

After picking the bookcase, Li Hehua bought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the little guy to read and write, as well as the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names and Thousand Characters for the enlightenment of children in this era. These three books are collectively called “Sanjia Village”. A must for children’s enlightenment. Although the little guy is going to learn painting, basic knowledge of literature also needs to be learned, so these must be bought.

After the boss settled the account, Li Hehua was waiting to take out the money from his purse, but Zhang Tieshan took out the money to pay first. Li Hehua quickly grabbed his arm, “Don’t give it to Zhang Tieshan, I’ll give it to you!”

Zhang Tieshan ignored it and gave the money directly to the boss, who accepted it happily, and joked, “Don’t both husband and wife give the same money, no need to fight or fight…”

Li Hehua: “…” Why did they become husband and wife again?

However, a man and a woman bring a child to buy things for school, which is indeed easy to be misunderstood. Li Hehua thought to himself that he would have to pay attention in the future. This place is different from modern times, and it is necessary to avoid suspicion between men and women.

Walking out of the bookstore, Li Hehua directly took out the money and handed it to Zhang Tieshan, “This is the money for the book just now. You have already given it to Shuxiu, so I will give you money for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I am Shulin’s mother. The money is what I should pay.”

Now that she is the mother of the little guy, she should buy things for the little guy. There is no reason for Zhang Tieshan to spend money alone, and he is a farmer who earns money by farming and hunting. Raise a reader. And last time, he gave her several taels of silver, and this time, he was about to spend a tael of silver on books.

Zhang Tieshan’s brows were wrinkled, he held Shulin and looked at her seriously and said, “Shulin is my son, he should pay for his studies, so there is no need to say such things in the future.”

“But you…”

However, her words were interrupted by Zhang Tieshan, who pointed to the basket in his hand and said, “Didn’t you already spend money?”

In the basket is what Li Hehua brought to his apprenticeship. There is nothing valuable in it. All the food is made by herself. In addition to the ground pot chicken, there are all kinds of cakes and wine brewed by Li Hehua. The husband will definitely accept it.

But these didn’t cost any money, but Zhang Tieshan said that she spent money. She really had nothing to say, so she didn’t say anything.

After the big deal, she will buy it for the little guy.

The three came to Master Gu’s school, saying that it was the school, but it was actually his family’s residence, but the house had a front yard, which was converted into a school, and the family lived in the back.

Li Hehua knocked on the door, and after a while, an old man came over and opened the door. He heard that he brought children to school, invited them in, led them to a room for entertaining guests, and went to call Master Gu.

When Li Hehua came over just now, he deliberately glanced at the classroom, and saw Master Gu standing in front of him reading something. The children below were lying on the small desk in front of him, reading behind the Master, and some of them shook their heads. , quite cute.

Li Hehua took Shulin into his arms and said, “Shulin, you will be a student here in the future, and you will follow the master to study, just like the child just now, you must be as obedient as them, wait for you to get off. The schoolgirl will come to take you home.”

The little guy blinked and looked at the classroom not far away.

After waiting for a while, Master Gu came out of the classroom and walked towards this room.

Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan stood up and greeted Master Gu.

Gu Zhijin smiled and said, “Come on, please take a seat.” After speaking, he looked at the little guy and asked, “What is the child’s name?”

Li Hehua replied: “His name is Zhang Shulin, the book he wrote, the Lin of Shulin. He is four years old this year.”

Gu Zhijin nodded, “Although the child is still young, it is too early to go to school, but the child has talent and cannot be delayed. I will teach him slowly, let him read and write in the morning, and I will teach him calligraphy and painting alone in the afternoon.”

Li Hehua could hear that Master Gu was opening a small kitchen for Shulin, and he was very grateful, “Thank you, Master Gu, for your trouble.”

Gu Zhijin waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t care, and told them about the school’s situation, “The school goes to school at the beginning of the morning in the morning and the end of the school at the end of the afternoon in the afternoon. There is a day off every ten days. The school does not provide food at noon, so bring it or take it home by yourself. You can go to eat, and if you bring food, you can warm it up here with me, you can choose according to the situation.”

Li Hehua understood, and decided to bring food to Shulin at noon, because she had to do business at noon, so she didn’t have time to cook something delicious for Shulin, and she couldn’t accompany Shulin, so she might as well let Shulin eat in the school and return it after eating. You can have a good rest.

Gu Zhijin said, “That’s the situation in the school. Is there anything you’re worried about? You can ask directly.”

Li Hehua actually trusts Master Gu more, “Master Gu, there is nothing to worry about here. It’s this bundle of repair geometry? Let’s hand over the beam first today.”

Gu Zhijin directly said the ordinary Shuxiu money, “The Shuxiu in the academy is handed over once a season, three hundred coins per season.”

Li Hehua knew that this was the price of an ordinary child’s beam repair, but Shulin was different. Shulin taught alone every afternoon. This price is really too little, but she also knew that since Master Gu said this price, he would not Bargain with them. She can only thank Master Gu in her heart, and thank him again when she has the opportunity.

Li Hehua remembered the food he brought, and reached out and took it, “Master Gu, we didn’t prepare a decent apprenticeship ceremony when we came to apprentice, so we prepared some food for you. It’s all made by myself, it’s not worth much, I hope you don’t. dislike.”

Originally, Gu Zhijin would never accept the apprenticeship, but I heard that the boss made some food himself. If he refused, he couldn’t say it. After a while, he didn’t refuse, “What the boss makes is a very good apprenticeship. After the ceremony, Gu accepted it cheekily.”

Seeing Gu Zhijin accept it, Li Hehua felt that he was sending it right, and he was thinking at the same time that if he wanted to thank Master Gu in the future, he had to start with the food.

“Then Master Gu, we will go back today, and tomorrow I will send Shulin over on time.” After giving Shu Xiu, Li Hehua bid farewell.

Gu Zhijin stood up and sent them off.

Li Hehua was holding Shulin and was about to go out. When he turned around, he saw a small head lying on the door looking at them at the door of the house. Seeing that he was discovered, he shrank back.

Gu Zhijin also saw the head and said to the people outside the door, “Jin Zhao, come in!”

After a while, the small head outside the door was exposed, and then the body followed from behind the door.

The visitor is a five- or six-year-old male doll, with a cute appearance and a chubby face. He looks very healthy at first glance, which shows that his family is well-bred.

The little boy walked in, not embarrassed at all, but smiled at Gu Zhijin and cupped his hands in a decent manner, “Second uncle, little nephew is here.”

Li Hehua was amused by his serious and funny look.

Gu Zhijin shook his head helplessly, but with a doting expression, he introduced to Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan: “This is my nephew, very naughty, don’t mind the two of you.”

It turns out that this kid likes to eat his own cakes.

Li Hehua shook his head with a smile, how could she mind, it’s good that the child is lively.

Seeing that the second uncle didn’t say anything about him, the child rolled his eyes and finally landed on Shulin. He took two steps towards the book forest full of curiosity and asked Gu Zhijin, “Second uncle, this is the new student you mentioned. What? Why is he so small!”

Gu Zhijin patted him on the head, “Shu Lin is only four years old, of course he is young, you are not allowed to bully him, you have to take good care of him, if anyone bullies him in the school, you have to protect him, do you know?” But even the most skinny child dared to provoke him, so if his nephew was willing to take care of Shulin, no one would dare to bully Shulin when he was young.

Gu Jinzhao glanced at the child who only reached his shoulder. He was thin and small, but his eyes were dark. He thought it was very interesting, but well, not everyone is worthy of his protection, otherwise he wouldn’t be too busy, you know He is very busy.

Gu Zhijin knew what he was thinking when his little ancestor turned his eyes, so he showed him the food that Li Hehua had just brought to him, “Your favorite pastries and fried rice and noodles are all made by Shulin’s mother, today’s book Lin also brought you a basket of delicious food.”

As soon as Gu Zhijin finished speaking, Gu Jinzhao, who had a tugging expression just now, immediately changed his expression, his eyes “swish” and stuck to the food basket, his mouth swallowed saliva unconsciously, and looked up at his second family. Uncle’s face, he immediately patted his little chest, “Second uncle, don’t worry, Shulin is so small, of course I will take good care of him, leave it to me, I promise no one will dare to bully him.”

Gu Zhijin nodded with a smile, and patted Gu Jinzhao’s head admiringly.

Li Hehua was about to die of laughter being amused by this kid. Fortunately, he tried his best to hold back. How could there be such a cute kid? If only Shulin could be so lively.

After Gu Jinzhao expressed his determination to Gu Zhijin, he walked up to the little guy, patted the little guy on the shoulder, and said to him in a big brother’s tone, “Don’t worry, I will protect you in the future, don’t be afraid.” Looking like a big brother in the underworld, Li Hehua somehow felt that his children came to worship today.

Shulin didn’t speak, Li Hehua was afraid that Gu Jinzhao would be unhappy, so he said instead of Shulin: “Then I want to thank you for taking care of Shulin in the future. In the future, if my aunt will have something delicious for Shulin to bring you to eat.” It’s not that Li Hehua wants to please him with food This child, this child is really cute when she sees the food she made. She is very willing to let Shulin share the delicious food with him. It can be regarded as Shulin making friends.

After listening to Li Hehua’s words, Gu Jinzhao’s eyes brightened obviously, he swallowed his saliva without any expression, and then patted his little chest, “Don’t worry, wrap it on me.”

Li Hehua held back his laughter.

Gu Zhijin shook his head helplessly, “Don’t mind, my nephew is so skinny.”

Li Hehua waved his hand, “It’s great to have your nephew like this, if Shulin could learn more from him, we would be happy.” Seeing that it was getting late, Li Hehua said goodbye again, “Then Master Gu, we will go first.”

Gu Zhijin took Gu Jinzhao to send them out of the school. Before leaving, Gu Jinzhao patted Shulin on the shoulder and told him earnestly, “Don’t be late tomorrow morning~”

On the way back, Li Hehua was still smiling, “That kid was so funny just now.”

Zhang Tieshan said “um”, he also felt that the child just now had a good personality, it would be nice if Shulin could be more lively.

Li Hehua patted the little guy on the back, “Shu Lin, do you know that you should get along with the older brother just now in the school?”

The little guy stretched out his hand from Zhang Tieshan’s arms and wanted her to hug him.

Li Hehua hugged him and kissed him. In my heart, I was thinking that I would bring two dishes to Shulin tomorrow, one meat and one vegetarian, plus a dessert after dinner. I made two copies of each, and asked Shulin to bring one for the little guy, together with the two children. eat.

Shulin’s good friends are online

Gu Jinzhao: Don’t worry, I will protect you in the future, as long as you give me half of your food every day.

Shulin: Lower your head and draw

Gu Jinzhao: …then I don’t want half of it. You only need to give me three achievements, and I will protect you.

Shulin: Keep your head down and continue painting

Gu Jinzhao: …then…will you give me a trip? Really can’t be less, the protection fee is really cheap.
