Rebirth in another world is good for farming

Chapter 55

Zhao Zhengze raised his head in confusion, only to find a young man standing in front of the road.Just thinking about whose family this belongs to in the village, if you look more closely, isn't it the uncle's new brother Gao Shi?

Although he can't judge people with a stingy heart, but thinking of the last time he met him in the public housing with Brother Liu, he didn't even give him a look.Compared with the smiling appearance now, I couldn't help being a little more vigilant.

"Brother, what's the matter?" He had heard that he was pregnant before, but Zhao Zhengze glanced at it, but didn't see it.Maybe it's because the month is too young, and I don't show my pregnancy yet.

"Haha, I saw the back from a distance and thought it looked like you, so I didn't recognize the wrong person." Seeing Zhao Zhengze stopped where he was, Gao Shi didn't seem to feel embarrassed, and walked over slowly.

In fact, he only had a few face-to-face encounters with Zhao Zhengze from a distance for a few months, and the meeting in the public housing was already the closest.It's a pity that he looked down on Zhao Zhengze and Zhang Xiaoliu at that time, and didn't even say a word.

"Why don't you come to my brother's house after passing here... But Ah Zheng is building a house at home, so he must be very busy?" Gao said enthusiastically.

In fact, Uncle Dumb's house and Uncle Zhao's house are not on the same path at all, and I don't know how Gao Shi appeared here.Although Zhao Zhengze was displeased, he would not say anything sharp to embarrass him. He just shook his head and said, "Don't bother Uncle and the others."

"Why do you bother me? Visiting relatives, visiting relatives, is to walk around more on weekdays to get close. Your brother often talks about you at home!" Gao said nonsense, although he knew that Zhao Zhengguang and others were related to this cousin. The relationship is not good, but in the end don't know how they got along before.He saw that Zhang's life was getting better and better, but he didn't know how much money was thrown away for the house now built, so he wanted Zhao Zhengguang to get closer to him.Unexpectedly, he mentioned it a few times on the sidelines, and everyone in the family had a good face.Coincidentally, he was talking to someone here today, and when he saw his figure from afar, he came out and stopped him halfway.

"What is he talking about?" Zhao Zhengze thought it was funny. Looking back now, why did the two elder brothers regard him as a blood-related younger brother?If you look at Brother Liu's protection of the two younger brothers, they can't even compare with a single finger.If it is said that the Zhang family brothers are friendly because they are from the same father, they are closer, but he has been in the Zhang family for more than half a year and has not suffered half of what he suffered at the uncle's house.

"Uh..." Gao Shi was speechless, and secretly rolled his eyes.I don't know if the person in front of me is deliberately trying to make him look bad, or if he really doesn't understand other people's polite words, he hesitated for a while and said: "They are thinking about you, how can they remember what they said lightly? You are free now, Just go back and sit with me, I must be happy to see you."

"Uncle, did you tell me not to come in again to stain his eyes? How could I have the nerve to come in again? Brother, go slowly, I have something to do when I go back, and I don't have time." Zhao Zhengze was impatient with him Speaking here means saying what Zhao Momo said back then.

Gao Shi's face turned red and then turned pale, he just thought that he deliberately used these words to humiliate himself, and was choked up for a while.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Zheng took him for acquiescing, and walked forward avoiding him.He just thought of cleaning up everything in the basket so that he can take it to the market tomorrow, but he has to go back quickly.

-

Because of his whim, Zhang Xiaoliu went to the fair with him the next day with the things in the basket.Anyway, there is nothing important at home now, Mai Mai went to school, and Xiao Song was also entrusted to Cao'er by him. The two of them drove more briskly.

Maybe it's because I didn't pay attention on weekdays. In fact, it looks carefully that there are still many stalls selling gadgets in the town.They looked all the way, and saw various small round fans, headband ornaments, rough tasseled jade pendants, etc., all made by themselves.

"Let's go and have a rest first, this matter can't be rushed." Although it was still early, but it was the dog days, and the sun was already very strong just after the middle of the corner.There were a lot of people at the meeting, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead after turning around.Finally squeezed out from the stall, Zhang Xiaoliu looked at the familiar signboard in front of him, and simply suggested.He could quite understand Zhao Zhengze's attitude towards his achievements carefully. If he just set up a stall on the ground and sold it for a few pennies, he might as well just sit idle at home.

In front of you was Donglai Restaurant, the staff in the lobby on the first floor were still cleaning the tables, when they saw the two entered the door, they hurried up to meet them.The guy at the beginning had met Zhang Xiaoliu twice, and said with a smile, "Young master, is he here to look for the shopkeeper, or do you want to order something?" Although it would take an hour for the restaurant to pick up customers on weekdays, the shopkeeper received him personally. The distinguished guests who pass by don't stick to this time.What's more, someone had already set a precedent earlier, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Is Uncle Dong in the restaurant?" Zhang Xiaoliu knew that Zhang Donglai was preoccupied with the children at home, so he didn't seem to come to the restaurant very often.What's more, it's still early, so I asked him casually after hearing what he said.

"The shopkeeper is meeting a customer upstairs, can you wait for a moment, young master?" The waiter cleverly brought tea and filled them on the table next to him, saying: "Two sit here for a while, the shopkeeper will be here soon." Just come down."

speak

"Okay, little brother, go and do it yourself." Zhang Xiaoliu pulled Zhao Zhengze to sit down, his feet were really sore from walking.

The guy predicted well. The tea in front of the two of them was still hot, when they heard a sound from the stairs, shopkeeper Zhang and a young man came down the stairs one after the other.

"Isn't this Master Wang's disciple?" Taking a closer look, the other party was still a half-acquaintance.Zhang Xiaoliu immediately recognized that the person walking down with shopkeeper Zhang was the "Xiaowen" in the mouth of Wang Momo in Xiangxi Pavilion.

Not only them, but the two who walked down also saw them very quickly.

"Little brother!" Shopkeeper Zhang was about to greet them when Wang Wen, who was walking in front of him, also shouted out in surprise.

Zhang Xiaoliu glanced at him inexplicably, and then looked outside the door, still not sure who he was talking to so enthusiastically.

"Little brother, why did you walk so fast in the store last time? Little master has been praising your craftsmanship, I have been looking for you for a long time..." Wang Wen rushed over enthusiastically, but seemed uncomfortable when he wanted to hold his hand Sure, stand within half a foot in front of him.

"So Brother Liu and Master Wang also know each other?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked curiously after seeing their situation.

"Acquaintances, Brother Liu, why don't you rest here and go to our shop, the little master still has good tea at the bottom of the box!" Wang Wen changed his address after hearing Zhang's shopkeeper, but he didn't understand his acquaintance at all. Don't deny it, just say it well.

"Master Wang is a busy man, so I won't bother you!" Zhang Xiaoliu didn't know where his enthusiasm came from, but he had seen him in a hurry last time in Xiangxi Pavilion, so he just declined.

"Our store is very empty and not busy at all. You only looked at the drawings last time, but you haven't seen the master's craftsmanship? Today I will take you to see it." Wang Wenxin said that I was tortured by the master every day, but he Always thinking about taking another apprentice, but until now there is no sign of him.It's hard to find one that can make the little master praise it, so let's pull it back and try it first.

"Brother Xiaowen, we have other things..." Zhao Zhengze watched him get so close, frowned for a long time, and finally couldn't help pulling him away and said.

"It's okay, I can wait for you to finish your work... Hey, what are you doing with these?" Wang Wen then turned his attention to Zhao Zhengze, saw the basket in front of him again, and asked in surprise.

He glanced at the two of them, and suddenly realized: "Are you planning to sell all these peach stone carvings?"

Zhang Xiaoliu nodded slightly, why not sell it out?

"There's no need to worry about such a trivial matter, just take it to the little master's shop. Let's go, if you delay, the master will go out..."

Seeing that the two were still sitting firmly, he simply stepped forward and dragged them away.The two of them were half pushed and half pulled out of the door by him, and they only had time to yell at shopkeeper Zhang to come back and look for him again, and they were taken away by Wang Wen.

It wasn't until they approached Xiangxi Pavilion that Wang Wen let go of the restraint on them, adjusted some loose clothes, cleared his throat, and finally signaled them to go in together.Zhang Xiaoliu rubbed his sore wrist, he really didn't know how the strength in his hand could be so strong even though he didn't look strong.

"Master, little master, I'm back." Wang Wen was the first to enter the door, and shouted when he saw the two people in the store.Then he put the oiled paper bag that he had been carrying since he came out of Donglai Restaurant in front of Wang Momo, and said, "Little master, your favorite mud-baked chicken is freshly baked just now, and it's still hot!"

"I ran away so early in the morning that I didn't see anyone, and that's why?" Although Wang Meme's words sounded a bit reproachful, there was also thoughtful reproach towards him in his tone.

Wang Wen scratched his head and laughed a few times, which caused the opposite master Wang to look at him without any trace, and made two more notes in his heart.

"Wang, Master Wang." Zhang Xiaoliu and Zhao Zhengze came forward after seeing them finish talking temporarily.Now that I have come to the store, I have to say hello anyway.Last time I misunderstood Wang Momo's enthusiasm, Zhang Xiaoliu was still a little embarrassed.

"Hey, you guys came here today too...Xiaowen, why don't you make a sound when there are guests?" Wang Meme had been facing the door with his back diagonally just now, and he really didn't notice that someone followed Wang Wen in.

"I met them in a restaurant, but I managed to get them back." Wang Wen looked smug.

"Sit down first, I'll make tea." Wang Momo stood up and let them to the table, said: "Brother Liu..."

"Wang Momo can just call him Ah Zheng." Zhang Xiaoliu heard his pause, remembered that he only reported his name last time, and hurriedly continued.

It wasn't until several people drank hot tea that Wang Momo sat down to talk to them.Hearing Wang Wen vaguely talk about pulling the two people over from the restaurant, and reprimanding them softly, I think I know Wang Wen's personality very well.

Under the hint of Wang Memo's eyes, Master Wang also sat around a table with them, but didn't talk much.

"Little master, look, they are preparing to sell something. Can you sell it in the store too?" Seeing that they were chatting, Wang Wencai pointed to the small basket they brought.

Wang Meme heard the words: "Can you let me see first?"

Zhao Zhengze moved the basket in his hand. Before Wang Momo could speak, Master Wang glanced aside and said, "Do you want to smash your store name?" Look down on.

Although Zhang Xiaoliu felt a little uncomfortable with his tone of voice, he also knew that since they opened such a shop and Master Wang was well-known, his eyesight of seeing things was naturally different from that of ordinary laymen, so he said, "Why don't you bother?" You guys, Ah Zheng, just engrave something to pass the time on weekdays, so you won’t be able to enter the hall of elegance.”

Wang Meme pinched Master Wang with his hand under the table, and then said: "Which person's craftsmanship didn't come from slow practice? I think that in time, the things Ah Zheng makes will not be inferior to the things in my shop."

Master Wang gave him a resentful look, and thought to himself that the first time I used a knife to make something better than this, aren't you also contemptuous?

It was only then that Wang Wen realized that the items in the basket were not made by Zhang Xiaoliu, but by the silent kid next to him.But he thinks that both of them have good personalities, and more importantly, he urgently needs someone to share the master's "teaching" to him, so he immediately advocated vigorously: "That's the reason, isn't the master always wanting to accept another apprentice? I It seems that Ah Zheng is very suitable."

"So you think you can become a teacher?" Master Wang sneered.

"Of course not. I haven't even learned one-tenth of master's weak skills. How dare I talk about being a master?" The little master said that as long as the little master agrees, the master will naturally have no objections.But the master would not leave easily on weekdays, so he could only make amends and said, "But don't I often have to go out? Considering that there are no apprentices in front of the two masters, I recommend one for you."

"Okay, who told you to embarrass Xiaowen when you have nothing to do?" Although Wang Wen is only the apprentice of the two of them in name, in fact, he lived on the street since he was a child, and they picked him up and raised him. Wang is right He is naturally well maintained.But it's really funny for them to talk about whether to accept apprentices in front of others.Even if they want to do this, they have to see if they are willing to do it!Didn't you see the expressions on these two kids looking at them?

"Brother Liu, Ah Zheng, I made you laugh. Everything Ah Zheng makes is quite to my liking. If you are willing to learn, you can come to my shop anytime."

Zhang Xiaoliu had already thought about it for a while when he heard Wang Wen mention the idea of ​​accepting apprentices. What Ah Zheng is doing now is carved based on his own feelings, which is definitely not enough compared to what others have learned to do.So in general, such skilled things are passed down from generation to generation, and they need to learn from a teacher.But thinking about it from another angle, they don't rely on this to make a living, and Ah Zheng might not be willing to come here to learn now.

"Do you want to learn from him?" He whispered while they were talking.

Zhao Zhengze hesitated for a while, but he still shook his head.He has seen some people in the village go to other places as apprentices, and they can't return home for several months or even half a year.Thinking of leaving the Zhang family to live here, even though being able to "study art" was a bit attractive to him, he cut it off mercilessly.

"Our family is far away, and we rely on him to do all the work in the field. It is a great thing that Master Wang wants to accept apprentices, but Ah Zheng has no time, so I am afraid it is really not suitable. But he is also good at engraving things. He is very persistent, since he has won the king, he may come to bother him in the future." Zhang Xiaoliu also agrees that if he is free, he can come and ask for advice, which must be very beneficial to Ah Zheng.That's why I took Wang Momo's words, and there will be a reason for coming over in the future.

"Brother Liu is really polite." Wang Momo pushed their basket back and said, "I was in the city since I was a child, and I have never tried to carve patterns with something as small as a peach pit before. It's better to go up." Back at the May Festival, Xiaowen bought a few bracelets on the street, and he wore carved peach pits on them."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Xiaoliu looked at Wang Wen again, suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred to him why he thought he looked familiar.

"During the May Festival, my brother and I also set up a stall to sell bracelets. I remember someone bought all our bracelets and peach pit carvings at the end. Could it be Brother Xiaowen?"

"What a coincidence?" Wang Wen just heard his words, and said in surprise: "I remember that I was at the entrance of an alley, and I really bought everything back."

The little master has always preferred smaller items, so he bought them at a glance, and it didn't cost much in total, let alone paying attention to them.Hearing Zhang Xiaoliu mention it at this time, he only remembered it vaguely.

"Then it's really possible that what I bought was yours. Later, I also carved some things from peach pits, and there are quite a few people who like them." The shops he sent to the city were sold out within a few days.Relying on the signboard in the store, people in the city love new things. A bracelet and a peach pit sell for three or five taels of silver, and people are rushing to ask for it.

"If Ah Zheng really wants to sell these things, I can send them to the shop together. But I'm afraid I need to modify them a little..." Wang Momo thought for a while, and said it anyway.They sell them in this town, and I'm afraid they won't sell much for twenty Wen a piece.Full of warmth and lust, even if the people here have some spare money, they still want to live a better life and rarely spend money on decorations.

"How to modify it?" Zhang Xiaoliu asked.Once something has been modified by others, it is no longer your own work.

"Since you didn't keep it for yourself, it's okay to change it." Wang Momo seemed to know what he was thinking, picked up one and said, "He carved it very carefully, almost every style is different. But there are some The details of the object are a bit lacking..." Since it was going to be sold in his shop, he naturally had to check it out.

"This is too much trouble for the king."

"That's not as good as this. I bought these from you now. How to modify and sell them in the future is my business. Is this okay?" Wang Memo said bluntly.This saves them from worrying and also facilitates themselves.

"You want to buy so many?" Zhao Zhengze remembered that he had made more than 50 in total, except for the dozen or so he liked and picked them out and kept them at home. Now there are about [-] in the basket.

"Yes, since it's a business, let's make it clear. How about two hundred Wen coins?"

"Okay, I'll sell them all to you." Zhao Zhengze has been coming to the town frequently recently, and Zhao Zhengze is also very clear about money and prices.As soon as Wang Meme finished speaking, he agreed.Two hundred Wen is obviously not a small amount. If one piece is sold in the town at most, it will sell for twenty or thirty Wen, and I don't know how long it will take to sell out.

After they talked about it, they poured out the things and counted them again, and there were 42 in total.Wang Memo happily paid him eight taels of silver and four hundred copper coins. For him, this was the price of one or two coins after changing hands.

"Brother Liu, why is Wang Momo willing to buy it at such a high price?" After leaving Xiangxi Pavilion, Zhao Zhengze still felt a little confused, and the money in his arms seemed unreal.

"I listened to what they said. I'm afraid the store in the city is very big. After he changes hands, the price can be higher. What are you worrying about?" Zhang Xiaoliu is well aware that such things as huge profits, where do you go? There is no shortage of them.But this can be regarded as everyone's satisfaction, after all, they themselves cannot sell such a high price.
