Chapter 30 Order
"I know. There's one across the river. What's the matter?" Looking for a bricklayer? There shouldn't be anything that needs repairing at home.
"Nothing, I just want to build a wall here. You can ask tomorrow to see if it can be done quickly." Well, he still has to join the army, so he might as well finish his work as soon as possible and join the army sooner.
Build a wall? Well... never mind, let her do it.
"I'll go ask now. I don't have anything else to do anyway." He put down the date cake and turned to go out.
When she looked at the date cake, she knew that the man didn't want to eat it, so he left so quickly!
Hmm, what are we having for lunch? Hmm! Let's not sit here anymore, let's go to a restaurant.
"Bao Ge'er, how about we go to a restaurant for dinner today? And go shopping at the same time." Li Zheng walked to Bao Ge'er's room and saw Bao Ge'er reading a book on the bed. The room was big enough, but there was nothing in it now, just a bed. It seemed that she had to find a carpenter to make some furniture, as there seemed to be nothing else in the house except the bed.
Baoger immediately put down the book and ran over, "Really? Sister." He can go out and play again.
"Yeah. How about we try some of the food here?"
"What's wrong? Are you going out to eat today?" He heard her last words as soon as he entered the door.
"Huh? Why are you so fast?" He just went out for a while.
"I met them on the road and asked them. They happened to be free and said they would come over tomorrow."
"It's just right that we should go to a restaurant at noon today and try the food here. How about? While we're there, let's go to that Uncle Liu's house you mentioned to see if there is any furniture. We don't have anything here."
"good."
…
“Knock knock.”
"Who is it? Hey, what's wrong? Is there anything missing at home?" The person who opened the door was Uncle Liu's wife, Aunt Liu, who was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. She was wearing a blue dress, had clear eyes, fair skin, and was very neatly dressed. It seemed that she was living a good life.
When Aunt Liu saw Gu Chengze coming back, she thought that the family was missing something.
"Aunt Liu, we just moved in and are short of some furniture. I heard that Uncle Liu is a carpenter, so I thought of coming here to order a few pieces." Aunt Liu seemed to have a good attitude.
"Hey, why are you being so polite? Come in quickly. I'll go call your uncle." When Aunt Liu heard that someone was here to order furniture, her eyes lit up and she quickly invited someone in.
Li Zheng and the other two came in and saw that Aunt Liu's house was tidy. She planted some vegetables in the yard and raised some chickens. The layout of the house was the same as her own, but not as big as hers. There was also a pile of wood in the yard, which made the house seem a little small.
"Come, drink some water first. Your fourth uncle will be here soon." Fourth Aunt brought three cups of tea.
"Thank you very much."
"Oh, you are such a pretty girl. This must be your sister." Aunt Liu looked at Gu Chengze.
Gu Chengze hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."
"Hello, Fourth Aunt, just call me A Zheng." Li Zheng didn't care and introduced herself to Fourth Aunt.
"Oh, your family is so good-looking." Fourth Aunt originally thought that the brother was good-looking enough, but she didn't expect that the sister was also good-looking. Bao Ge'er is still young, but when he grows up, he will be good-looking too.
"What do you want to order?" The door of the main room opened and a man of about thirty-six or thirty-seven appeared. He had a beard, a slightly yellow complexion, a square face, and wrinkles on his brows. He seemed to be a serious person. He was wearing a short suit and there were sawdust on his body. It seemed that he had just been doing carpentry work.
"Hello, Uncle Liu, we want to order three bookshelves, three desks, four wardrobes, and a few boxes." Gu Chengze introduced himself first. He was not seen when he visited this morning.
"Well, these things are easy to make. I already have some at home. How about this? Pay a deposit of one or two taels of silver first, and I'll send it to you the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you very much." He took out some silver from his pocket and handed it over. "Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, I have things to do at home so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
"Hey, Aunt Four, please relax and unwind."
After Gu Chengze and the others left, she said, "Can't you just smile? You're so serious. Look, they're so scared they don't dare to speak." She didn't know when her man would change his temper.
"Next time." He turned around and went back to his room to continue his work.
"Next time, next time, every time is next time, I haven't seen you ever change."
…
"Don't you want to ask the price?" He can't be so careless, or he doesn't know how to spend money.
"It's okay, you'll know the day after tomorrow. If you don't know, then we don't have to keep in touch in the future." He felt that this was not a big deal, and it was good to see a person clearly through this incident.
"Which restaurant here is better?" Seeing that he knew what she was talking about, she didn't say anything.
"Sister, I heard that the food at Wanshun Restaurant is delicious." He heard about it yesterday and passed by. It looked quite lively.
"Okay, where are we going?"
Gu Chengze glanced at Li Zheng, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Just now I told Aunt Liu that you are my sister. Don't mind it. If I don't say that, others will gossip about it. Although I don't care..."
"Don't worry, I understand. It's just those people who gossip. It's fine like this, so they don't ask questions when they find out. It's one less thing to worry about!" She knew that she was in the city now, and she wanted to be freer in the village. The spit here was really enough to drown people.
"Well," How did he know that she would care?
Li Zheng looked at the streets on both sides. People were buying food and daily necessities, and there were people shouting. It was really more lively than Jingcheng. After entering Wanshun Restaurant, she had to say that the decoration was really beautiful and made of blue bricks. The hall was also very bright and the business was pretty good. They found a seat in a corner of the hall and ordered a few signature dishes.
"Hey, have you heard that we are going to recruit soldiers?"
"Recruiting soldiers? Why are you recruiting soldiers?"
"Hey, you really are... Isn't there anyone above you? The minister is in control now. Don't we want it here? Even if we don't want it, we still have to protect ourselves."
"Why now? It's spring plowing season. Not many people will go there."
"I don't know. I heard it's voluntary. After all, if no one is farming, what will they eat?"
"Are you going?"
"Me? I can't."
"Then why are you saying this?"
"Let's talk. I heard that if you volunteer, you can get five taels of silver!"
"so much!"
"Well, do you still want to go?"
"I need to go back and ask my brother-in-law if he's willing. He's always wanted to go!"
"Then we have to hurry up. We only have half a month left. After this, we don't know if we can collect it."
Li Zheng glanced at him and asked, "When are you going?"
"Wait a few more days." At least we have to clean up the house before going.
"Oh." Seeing that he knew what was going on, she didn't care.
"This dish..." The cooking method is the same as before in the north, boiled, stewed, and steamed, but the taste is a little sweeter, and it tastes a bit...
