Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 643 Deal

   Zhao Hu's mood improved, and he followed behind Zhao Hanzhang into Zhao's house.

   Zhao Hanzhang deliberately made a detour, and after a half circle, he went to Zhao Zhongyu's courtyard.

  Although Zhao Hu is not familiar with Zhao's house, he came here once, and he lived here for a while that time, so I still remember the general layout.

   He didn't react at first, but when he did, they also went to the place.

Zhao Hu opened his mouth wide and looked at the broken eaves and walls in front of him. He first looked back at the way they came, making sure that this was in Zhao's house and not somewhere else, and then he exhaled the breath held in his chest, "This is what happened?"

   Zhao Hanzhang euphemistically said: "My grandfather used to live in this yard, because it is convenient to work here. Although my uncle and grandfather moved to the main house after he took over as the patriarch, he specially sealed the yard to express his condolences."

"Oh, but I didn't expect that a fire in Luoyang would burn down this yard." Zhao Hanzhang sighed, and led Zhao Hu to continue down. The next step was to go around a small garden, where she lived. , she pointed to the yard and said with a smile: "Seventh Uncle, this is my yard. If you have anything in the future, just come here to find me."

  Zhao Hu stiffly turned his neck to look at the burnt down house next door to the yard. At this time, there were a lot of plants growing there. He stepped forward to look and couldn't help frowning, "Is this Rose?"

"Yeah," Zhao Hanzhang said happily: "Seventh Uncle didn't know that it is very easy to grow flowers and plants in this burnt yard. Really, I saw that such a large yard was a waste to be empty, so I let people plant it in the yard. I bought some green vegetables, but there are only so many people in the house, so many places have been burnt down, and I can't finish the vegetables, so I let people plant roses."

   She smiled and said: "In the coming year, these roses should be able to climb over the collapsed beams and gravel, and then you won't be able to see that this is a burnt house, and it will look even better once it blooms."

   Zhao Hu was speechless, "Aren't you going to rebuild?"

   Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "I don't have any money."

  This house is made of very good materials. If she rebuilds it with some ordinary wood and stone, it will not look like a family at all compared to the other half that hasn't been burnt down.

   Not only is it ugly, but every time I see it, I feel uncomfortable, thinking that the house is enough now, and there is no need to rebuild it.

   Zhao Hu:…

   He turned around and said, "Where does Zhao Zhongyu live?"

   Zhao Hanzhang sent him there with a smile.

  The yard is well maintained. People will clean it at the end of every tenth day. Occasionally, it will be ventilated or something, and the host or guests will be prepared to live.

  As soon as Zhao Hu came in, his servants opened his suitcase and filed in with things in their hands.

   Don't look at the fact that most of them are male servants. Their movements are fast and delicate. After wiping the house with water, he bowed and walked out, carrying the remaining luggage in, and... money.

   There were five bullock carts, and three bullock carts were full of money.

The maids took out their own mats and laid them out, took out the wooden basins, cloth towels, etc., and put them on the shelves one by one, and lighted the incense, as well as the glazed mirror, a half-meter-high makeup box, which was used by Zhao Hu every day. The perfume powder, fat powder, ointment and golden jade ornaments, etc.

   Zhao Hanzhang sat on his knees and chatted with Zhao Hu about new and old money. The maid also took out a set of glass cups, poured the boiled water into the glass pot, and then used the water in the glass pot to make tea powder...

   After the maid quickly stirred, she also put a little frosting sugar in it…

Seeing her stunned, Zhao Hu said proudly: "This is our new way of eating tea in Xiping, but unfortunately there is no goat milk, otherwise it will be more fragrant when cooking with goat milk. More mellow and better to drink.”

   Zhao Hanzhang closed his mouth, "It's amazing, me, have I not been back to Xiping for a year? There are even new ways to eat tea."

   Zhao Hu glanced at her and said, "Isn't it you and Tinghan?"

He snorted: "You are all too lazy, and the servants around you are also lazy, you are not willing to put **** and salt in the tea, you just drink it with boiling water, it is tasteless and tasteless, but those people outside I just like to chase, you drink like this, they also learn to drink like this, and the business of my tea house is not good."

   Zhao Hanzhang:…

   She calmed down and asked humbly, "Then what?"

   "Then?" Zhao Hu said: "Then I guess you definitely don't like salty food, so if you want sweet food, I'll ask someone to add sugar to your tea."

   He said: "Don't say, it's still delicious with sugar added, but the tea leaves are wasted, so I asked people to grind the tea leaves, add sugar to boil, and finally add some goat milk to make it more fragrant."

"In addition, in winter, you can add **** and drink hot sweet tea to ward off the cold. In summer, you can put the brewed tea in the ice basin and ice it, and the goat milk is not smelly. It is sweet with sugar, which is very thirst-quenching... Zhao Hu smiled and said, "When I send someone to the street to buy a milk-producing sheep, I will make it for you tomorrow."

   Zhao Hanzhang: "...Thank you, Seventh Uncle."

   Zhao Hu waved his hand indifferently. He looked at the room with some disgust, "The furnishings in this room are too simple. Your uncle and grandfather are ministers and patriarchs, why are you so frugal?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "This is the main house. In the early years, my grandfather occasionally came to live there."

   So in the beginning, this was where Zhao Changyu lived.

   "Oh," Zhao Hu retracted his opinion, since Zhao Changyu lived there, then there would be no problem.

   Zhao Hu pointed to the empty space beside the screen and said, "I still lack a full-length mirror, so it's not easy to bring it, because Chen County also has Liulifang, so I didn't bring the mirror that I use most often."

   Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "I asked the treasure house to send a side to the seventh uncle."

Zhao Hu stroked his beard with satisfaction, and after being rubbed by Shun Mao for a long time, Zhao Hu relaxed and talked about the new money and the old money, "I weighed it, your new money is lighter than the old money, and it is said to be the land of Shu. I agree with the two lakes, but who knows if using the new money in the two places will be disliked?”

He said: "For example, I and another person liked a piece of silk and satin at the same time, and they paid the same price, but the old money he gave, and the new money I gave, the shopkeeper just gave him the old money because he took out the old money, and I did the same. damaged."

   Zhao Hanzhang frowned, trust in coins is an invisible value, and few people would normally expect this, but since Zhao Hu brought it up, it has to be resolved.

   "So what does the seventh uncle mean?"

   Zhao Hu became serious and said, "I can exchange new money with you, but I want one to two."

   is his ten old coins for twelve new coins.

He raised his hand to stop what Zhao Hanzhang was about to say, and said, "I know what you're going to say, but this is my biggest concession. I'm taking a risk with new money. If I can't spend it later, these coins are in my hands. It’s just copper, if you didn’t mint this new money, and Zhao Ming guarantees you, I will never change it.”

  He is a very conservative person.

   Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and immediately responded: "Deal!"

  Zhao Hu raised the corners of his mouth and said to her, "I just like your cheerfulness. You are different from your grandfather in this regard."

Good night
