I opened a restaurant in ancient times

Chapter 7

After a while, Zhao Heng was fascinated by Jiang Daddy's carpentry work, and he didn't even know that Jiang Yuan came to bring him water.

When the wrist was turned, the carving knife was carved on the wood, and the sawdust fell one after another. The small piece of wood in Father Jiang's hand gradually took shape. It was a lively little tiger with a particularly cute head and head.

Putting down the objects in his hand, Daddy Jiang discovered that there was another Zhao Heng in his yard, and quickly got up to say hello.

Seeing that Father Jiang finished the work in his hand, Zhao Heng stood up and took two steps forward, saying, "Father Jiang, I have something to ask you for help today."

Father Jiang wiped his hands with a towel and greeted Zhao Heng sat down and said, "What is it that bothers you to run?"

"I want to make a cart, and I want to go to the town to sell things in a few days."

"Really, that's good!"

Zhao Heng smiled . "I'm not here to ask you to help me make one!"

"How can I do this? I haven't done such a big job in three or four years."

Zhao Heng stretched out his hand to make a gesture. It was a small car with one person. Arms stretched out so long.

"As long as it's this big, Jiang Yuan said that the work you did before was good, and the ranking number of Shili Baxiang also has a head and face."

Father Jiang had never heard such words from Jiang Yuan's mouth, and he was a little at a loss for a while. .

Looking at Zhao Heng's smiling face in front of him, and remembering Jiang Yuan's words, he gritted his teeth and took over the job. His craftsmanship may not have been as good as before, but if he did his best, it would be fine.

"Okay, okay! I'll take over this job!" Dad Jiang was a little excited, not only because of the only child, but also because after so many years, he was finally useful again, and he was able to earn money to support the family, and he would no longer be a hindrance to his son. !

His eyes were a little red, and because he was in front of outsiders, Dad Jiang hid his excitement again and asked, "What kind of cart is it?"

Zhao Heng described to Dad Jiang, what the cart wanted was It is square, and the height is about Zhao Heng's waist. On the right side of the cart, there is a handrail that can be pushed by hand, and a piece of wood can be added inside for sundries.

Afraid that his description was not clear enough, Zhao Heng squatted on the ground and drew a simple figure on the sand with a branch he picked up. The wooden board inside the cart can be folded if it is divided into small pieces.

Hearing his request, Daddy Jiang was stunned and exclaimed: "How did you come up with such a method? How can such a cart be folded?"

Zhao Heng nodded: "Yes, there is no need to push it this way. When driving, you can fold it up and put it aside, so it doesn't take up any spare space in your home. But you still need to study the specific parts here."

Zhao Heng only has a general understanding of this aspect, and he does not know each part in great detail. This kind of thing can only be entrusted to Father Jiang, who is a carpenter.

"Okay, in a few days, I'll have Jiang Yuan call you." Father Jiang nodded with a smile, and added, "If you are in a hurry, there is a cart in my backyard many years ago. I have not used it before."

Zhao Heng said, "Thank you very much, but I'm going to go to the North Market in the town to sell some food these few days. I'll try to make less first. I don't need a car. I'll give you and my aunt the food when I'm ready. Bring it over and try it."

He said that he wanted to try it, but Zhao Heng had already gained enough confidence. Although he had only been here for two days, after seeing the food stalls in the C district of Beishi, he felt that his craftsmanship could conquer them. of.

Since he declined, Father Jiang didn't take it to heart, smiled heartily, and said, "Okay! Then I'll be waiting for your fresh food!"

"I brought some money today, but I don't know how to pay the deposit? "When he went out, he brought money with him.

Although I already know this family, I still don't know it well enough. It's not easy to fight for the love of living in the same village. No matter what the other party says, what should be given must be given.

In his last life, he had seen a lot of things about Shengmi En and Mi Chou, and he was even more reluctant to let this happen again. "You don't need your deposit. My brother Yuan's medicine money has not been returned to you a few days ago. The money for the custom-made trolley

is even the money for the herbal medicine."

Herbal medicines are much more expensive, so Dad Jiang thought about it.

Although Zhao Heng said that his family's brother Yuan was injured, he didn't run away and paid for the medicine.

"How can this be done? I must give what should be given."

Zhao Heng refused to do this. Although it cost hundreds of dollars to buy medicine, the matter was accidentally provoked by himself, and he should have been responsible.

"No, no, it was my fault

that Jiang Yuan was injured. I should have bought medicine for him. How could I be so embarrassed to take advantage of it?"

Father Jiang sighed, then smiled: "Well then, don't worry. , I will definitely handle this matter properly for you."

Seeing Father Jiang's understanding, Zhao Heng smiled: "Of course I believe it. I don't know how much the deposit will cost?"

Father Jiang said. : "Two hundred wen is enough. Some wood at home may not be suitable. I have to buy some. This money is just enough."

While speaking, Zhao Heng took out his purse from his arms, and took out the silver that he was about to hand to Jiang Ah. Dad, at this moment Aunt Jiang and Jiang Yuan came out of the house.

Aunt Jiang saw that Zhao Heng was talking to Daddy Jiang in the yard, so she didn't say much. She turned around and went back to the house, poured two more bowls of sugar water, and handed it to the two of them.

Zhao Heng took it, thanked Aunt Jiang, and the others sat down on the stools again.

After taking a sip of the sweet sugar water to ease the summer heat, Zhao Heng continued: "Then I will give 400 wen, of which 200 wen is considered as the cost of materials, and the remaining 200 wen is the deposit, okay?"

Jiang Ah Dad waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, these 400 wen is too much. You don't need so much for a custom-made stroller. Adding some 400 wen is enough to buy a new one!"

Aunt Jiang smiled: "This counts. What's the big deal, if you want me to tell me, the Zhao family boy can make a deposit of two hundred and fifty cents."

Two hundred cents is the material fee, fifty cents is the deposit, neither too much nor too little, just the most suitable. of.

Both Zhao Heng and Father Jiang agreed, and Zhao Heng took out half a tael of silver from his purse and handed it to Father Jiang.

Half a tael of silver is equivalent to five hundred copper coins. In Zhilan Town, two cents can buy a steamed bun, four cents can buy a plain bun, and five cents can buy a meat bun.

Therefore, half a tael of silver in Zhilan Town can only be used for about half a month to buy food and use it closely, so it is not rich.

Aunt Jiang took it, handed it to Aunt Jiang, and said, "Go to the house and get some change for the Zhao family boy."

Aunt Jiang replied, got up and went back to the house to change the change for Zhao Heng. . After a while, Aunt Jiang came out of the room with a string of copper coins in her hand, making a clattering sound.

After paying the money, the matter of customizing the trolley is settled.

Before leaving, Dad Jiang also instructed Zhao Heng: "It will take three to five days for the custom-made things to be done, and I will call you then."

After Zhao Heng agreed, he was about to turn around and go home.

Before he could take two steps, Jiang Yuan's voice came over: "Zhao Heng!"

Jiang Yuan ran out of the backyard panting, as if clutching a few small cloth bags in his hands, and stood in front of Zhao Heng.

"What's the matter?" Not only Zhao Heng was a little confused, but Aunt Jiang and Aunt Jiang were also very strange.

"Didn't you say you want to open up wasteland and farm land, did you forget? I said I wanted to give you seeds." Jiang Yuan was a little unhappy, can he forget it? What a great deal the land is!

Zhao Heng explained with a smile: "I'm so happy that I ordered a stroller today, so I forgot it!"

"Here, the seeds." Jiang Yuan didn't bother with him anymore, and handed Zhao Heng two cloth bags.

Jiang Yuan pointed to a cloth bag and said, "This is a cucumber, and the other is a tomato. These seeds are easy to feed without picking fields. I think they should be suitable for land reclamation."

Zhao Heng took it and opened the cloth bag to look at it. Seeds with large and full grains have a high probability of germination.

Xiang Jiang Yuan said: "Thank you, I will make some delicious things to give you to try."

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "I won't give you more, after a few days, daddy Do your homework, and I'll call you again."

He heard when Dad was talking, and he felt sorry for Dad's old age, so he couldn't bear to ask him to run again.

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang have been married for many years, and only Jiang Yuan has a child when he is middle-aged. Although he is a brother, he has never suffered any grievances since he was a child.

Jiang Yuan is also a sensible child. When he grew up and supported his family, he did not let his father and mother suffer.

Zhao Heng nodded to Jiang Yuan, and after the two elders said goodbye, they went home.

After Zhao Heng left, Dad Jiang said to Jiang Yuan, "Yuan'er, when did you remember to give seeds to others?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I met Zhao Heng when I went to town today and asked Where do I sell seeds, I wanted to say, but when I remembered that he said he wanted to do carpentry work at Grandpa's place, I said I would give him a little."

Grandpa Jiang laughed when he heard that was the reason, and didn't ask any further questions. , the family went back to the house together.

It

was getting late, and the outline of the mountain was covered with a layer of golden sunlight.

After Zhao Heng returned home, he made a fire and cooked while there was still light in the sky.

When he went to bed at night, he suddenly felt a musty smell from the quilt covering his body. This smell made him so upset that he couldn't sleep, and he tossed and turned in bed.

After a while, he got up and took out the only two clothes in the original bag, put the quilt aside, and fell asleep under the two coats.
