Then he found Gou Zi's second uncle, and when he heard that he could take this job, Gou Zi's second uncle happily agreed.
There is a lot of work to be done in the countryside, and there is not much carpentry work. Carpentry work alone is not enough to support a family, so Uncle Gou Zi also needs to work in the fields.
The problems of carpenters and stones were solved, and Grandpa Niu even took the initiative to take on the painting work.
Before Gou Zi left the village, Grandpa Niu took his grandson to the riverside to polish stone eggs.
Several grandsons were responsible for grinding out the rough pieces, while Grandpa Niu was responsible for rounding the stone.
When he went back to report to An Jingzhi, he happened to meet An Jingzhi having a party with his gang of friends.
After recovering from a serious illness, he was busy at home for several days. After receiving his invitation, the original owner's good friends came to participate out of courtesy.
"What's going on? I heard that your illness has been cured for a long time, why don't you come to play with us?"
"What have you been busy with recently, Jingzhi? I haven't seen you around."
"I heard you don't have to go to private school anymore? I really envy you."
Everyone was talking around An Jingzhi, but no one was interested in the food and drinks they had ordered.
The original owner's friends had similar status to him, and were also sons of merchants.
Every family may not have a lot of money, but they are not short of small amounts.
"You're asking so many questions at once, which one should I answer? Sit down, sit down, and I'll explain them one by one."
An Jingzhi briefly talked about what he did during his illness, focusing on a fun thing he made. When everyone heard it was a toy, they immediately smiled and asked more questions.
"I'm sorry, Jingzhi. When you were sick, our school was preparing for the exam. No one knew about it. We only heard about it later." The other party apologized first, then changed the subject.
"What exactly is that new thing?" he asked expectantly, rubbing his hands.
The others also stared at An Jingzhi closely.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. The original owner was a playboy, and none of the people around him loved reading.
I can only say it's half a catty and eight ounces to him.
None of them were interested in reading, writing, or taking the imperial examinations, but were very keen on all kinds of new things.
An Jingzhi briefly talked about billiards and how to play billiards.
Then, his true intentions were exposed, and he said to everyone with a smile, "My billiard parlor will be opening in a few days. If you want to play, you can come anytime. We are all brothers. I will give you a 20% discount. It doesn't matter if the return on investment is slow!"
"Okay, we must go! Why the 20% discount? Are we the kind of people who are short of money? No need for a discount." A fat boy who was a cloth merchant at home said proudly.
The others were not short of money either, but they were not as rich as this little fat guy. However, they could not lose face in front of their brothers.
"Yes, yes, no need for a discount. We brothers are not the kind of people who are short of that little money."
Their family really doesn't lack that little money. Everyone knows how much money they have every month. They do this just to show off their wealth.
This was exactly the effect An Jingzhi wanted. He said with gratitude, "Thank you all for your support. Don't worry, everyone, I know we are all well-off, but you must also let me do my part. Drinks are free on the opening day."
The fat boy Ma Jinhang wanted to say something else, but An Jingzhi raised his hand to stop him. "Brother Ma, I know you are generous and magnanimous, but you have to give me a chance and show your devotion to all of you brothers."
Ma Jinhang gained both the money and the face, and nodded his chin with some reserve.
Everyone else looked happy. Getting something for free, no matter how much, would make people happy.
Everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed.
The food on the table had hardly been touched, and my stomach was rumbling.
But looking at the table full of dishes, I guess they were spitting all over the place when they were talking so fast just now?
He called in Gouzi, who had been waiting outside the private room, and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
The dog's eyes widened at first, then he blinked in disbelief. After realizing what was happening, he pointed at himself and said, "Master, are you asking me to eat it?"
An Jingzhi said with a smile, "Is there a second person here?"
The dog immediately shook his head like a rattle and said gratefully, "I'll eat it, I'll eat it. Thank you very much, Master. Thank you very much, Master!"
Then he looked at An Jingzhi who was sitting opposite him, and then looked at the stool opposite An Jingzhi, "Master, why don't you pack it up and take it back home so I can eat it slowly?"
He couldn't just sit in front of the young master and eat, and make him wait for him, right? Then what were the rules?
He didn't know these rules before, but after becoming the young master's attendant, he quietly learned from the servants in the mansion, trying hard to keep his position.
An Jingzhi lowered his crossed legs and said casually, "It's up to you. If you want to pack it up, just pack it up. Let me remind you, although no one touched it just now, we were talking around the food."
The dog didn't care at all. It was all greasy fish and meat. Not to mention a few mouthfuls of saliva, even if it was mixed with dirt, he would eat it without hesitation!
Not only did the other party not mind, but he happily called the shop assistant to pack up and take away.
He was wandering slowly on the street, with the dog following behind him carrying a food box.
An Jingzhi asked casually, "How are the preparations going?"
Gouzi quickly took two steps forward and replied, "Don't worry, Master, I have made all the arrangements and will definitely finish it within the time you set."
An Jingzhi nodded. "Okay, I hope you won't let me down. I gave you this job because you're smart. If you can't do it well, I'll find someone else."
An Jingzhi knew exactly why the other party asked him to go back to his hometown.
But he didn't care, as long as he could finish the work assigned to him.
Gou Zi quickly made a promise, saying that he could definitely do it.
I returned home staggeringly.
When he returned home, he felt that the atmosphere at home was a little different at the door.
More diligent than usual.
It seems that the scumbag father is back. Although he is a scumbag father, he is also the master of the house and the pillar of the family. All the expenses of the whole country depend on him.
These servants always felt empty and lost when he was not around.
As soon as he came back, these servants showed their most diligent side one by one.
It’s not that they are lazy normally, it’s just that they are not that motivated.
I went straight to the hall, and sure enough, the man sitting in the middle was the scumbag.
Looking at Dong Shuangyan again, An Jingzhi nodded secretly.
That's right, just dress casually. Why dress so complicatedly and wear a lot of things on your head when traveling? It will make you exhausted.
"Why are you back so late? It's almost time for dinner, what are you doing outside?" The scumbag father scolded An Jing in dissatisfaction after seeing him.
