Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Cheng also saw it, and he turned to look at Zhao Ming in surprise.

Zhao Ming smiled slightly at him and coughed lightly.

Everyone turned around and saw the two people standing at the door. The teenagers saluted quickly, first calling Zhao Cheng sir, and then saluting Zhao Ming.

It can be seen that Zhao Cheng is very prestigious among them.

Zhao Cheng nodded slightly to everyone, saluted Zhao Song first, then saluted his father, called "Father" coldly, and looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang had already raised his hand and was about to salute when Zhao Cheng asked her: "What do you rely on?"

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, paused for a moment, then continued to salute, bowed his head to the end, and said with a smile: "Probably because of his status as a creditor."

Zhao Cheng frowned, "Creditor?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and looked at Zhao Hu, "Seventh Uncle, it's winter now and everyone is free. Why don't we find some time to count the food taxes we owe in previous years?"

Zhao Cheng turned to look at his father. Seeing his face turn red, he turned back and asked Zhao Hanzhang: "How much do you owe?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "The Yamen calculated three thousand eight hundred and sixty stones."

"You can have someone pull it. There's no need to do the accounting." Zhao Cheng called a servant directly, "Go back and ask Sanjin to open the grain depot and let the people from the Yamen pick it up."

"You, you, you," Zhao Hu pointed at Zhao Cheng with trembling fingers, "You rebellious son..."

Zhao Cheng said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Why don't you give it a round number, just four thousand stones, and the rest will be considered as a donation from our Zhao family."

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at Zhao Hu and said loudly: "My uncle is so kind and righteous. Hanzhang thanked my uncle on behalf of the people of Xiping County."

A smile flashed in Fu Tinghan's eyes, and he looked at her happily helplessly.

Zhao Cheng felt something in his heart and vaguely understood what she relied on.

People who usually collect debts are somewhat embarrassed to talk to others to collect debts, especially if the other person is a relative or friend, and Zhao Hu is not only a relative or friend of Zhao Hanzhang, but also an elder.

But she was able to speak without changing her expression, and she also vaguely tried to squeeze Zhao Hu, which was rare in a family that valued etiquette.

His eyes moved from Zhao Hanzhang to the boy next to her.

Zhao Ming introduced him with a smile, "This is Han Zhang's fiancé-in-law, Changrong of the Fu family in Beidi County."

Zhao Cheng's expression softened, he nodded slightly and asked, "Is your grandfather Fu Zhongshu?"

Fu Tinghan saluted and said "yes".

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhao Hu, who had a heart attack, felt even more distressed. He was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and was about to leave. Zhao Hanzhang was really afraid that he would get sick because of his anger, so he hurriedly stepped forward to coax him with a smile, "Seventh uncle, Ji A few days ago, my husband sent me some spices, and I had them grind them into powder. Today, I asked someone to kill a sheep, no, two sheep, and grill them with spices. They are especially delicious. My seventh uncle and I also go?"

Zhao Hu snorted, but luckily didn't go out anymore, "You would be so kind as to treat me to food?"

"Seventh Uncle's words are too hurtful. I thought that after so many things, the two of us not only have a relationship between grandson and grandson, but also have been friends for many years. Isn't it right for Hanzhang to invite you to eat something good?"

Zhao Hu's face softened a little, and then he said: "What is that spice? It deserves your special bragging rights."

"It's just pepper and stuff like that. There's a lot of it. You asked me to sign up and I really can't remember everything at the moment."

Zhao Hu had a weird look on his face, "You grilled the meat with pepper?"

"Oh, what's this? If my seventh uncle loves you, I can use it to make soup."

She had already invited Zhao Hu, so she wanted to invite Zhao Song even more.

Zhao Hanzhang ran to Zhao Song and said very affectionately: "Fifth uncle, others don't have to go, but you have to go. I asked someone to stew mutton soup. It's good to eat it at this time to ward off the cold."

Zhao Song agreed with a smile.

Of course, she also invited Zhao Ming and Zhao Cheng. Although she had already decided on this sheep feast, the addition of this sheep was because of Zhao Cheng.

She invited all the teenagers in the house. It's so chaotic outside now. It's great to study at home. Why go out for a run?

Now that she is studying at home, let’s build her hometown and share the burden for her younger sister.

The teenagers looked at Zhao Cheng together.

Zhao Hanzhang said to Zhao Cheng: "Uncle, I haven't met Erlang yet. He has grown up now. My mother-in-law said he looks more and more like his father."

Zhao Cheng, who was about to refuse, glanced at her and said, "I met yesterday." He didn't see any similarity between Zhao Erlang and Zhao Zhi.

"Oh, it was just a quick visit. I only saw his face but didn't hear his voice," Zhao Hanzhang said, "Erlang still wants to meet his uncle, and my mother-in-law also wants my uncle to take the exam for Erlang."

Zhao Cheng only thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Bring the younger brother with you. He and Erlang are about the same age. Maybe the two of them can play together."

The other teenagers didn't think so. Although they only had a brief meeting with Zhao Erlang yesterday, and he was not as stupid as the rumors say when he sat on the horse, but when I went home last night, my parents told me that Zhao Erlang could not recognize more than ten characters so far. , and therefore Dafang had to rely on Zhao Hanzhang.

When they were four or five years old, they knew more than ten characters, which meant that Zhao Erlang was not even as good as a five-year-old child. Unfortunately, Zhao was a young and mature man. Although he was only eight years old, he had a stable personality and was better than a five-year-old boy. They are not much different.

Everyone quietly went to see the majestic Zhao Cheng, only to see Zhao Cheng nod and say: "Okay."

Zhao Hanzhang invited him enthusiastically, so everyone moved from the fifth uncle's ancestral home to Zhao Hanzhang's home.

Wang was stunned by the sudden arrival of so many guests, especially these were all men, who were different from the female guests she often received.

She was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked her servants to invite Uncle Cheng: "We have a distinguished guest at home, please ask him to come back soon."

Uncle Cheng went to pick sheep.

There are many families in Wubao who raise sheep. The richer the family, the more sheep they raise, such as Zhao Song and Zhao Hu's family.

After selecting the sheep, Uncle Cheng felt that the sheep raised by the Seventh Master were the most delicious. They were neither fat nor thin, fresh and tender. They were the best among the dozens of sheep he had selected.

So he spent money and ordered two, and decided to kill one today according to Sanniang's instructions, and kill another one tomorrow for Sanniang to take to the county town to eat.

Winter is here, and it’s time to eat mutton.

He led the two sheep back in a leisurely manner. Before he reached the door, a guard ran out, "Uncle Cheng, the lady and the girl are looking for you. The Fifth Master and the Seventh Master are here as guests."

Uncle Cheng nodded calmly, "I know, the girl said yesterday that it's still early, so I'll have someone kill the sheep right now."

"The girl said we'd like to add two more. There are quite a few people here today."

Uncle Cheng was surprised and looked down at the two sheep in his hands. "Then I have to buy two more. The girl will have to take one with her when she returns to the county town tomorrow."

Zhao Hanzhang had already gone to the garden with Zhao Song and others. The teenagers followed the elders obediently. Wang also knew that Zhao Song and the elders did not want to see her, so she only came out once and then left, letting the kitchen serve them drinks. and snacks.
