Chapter 64 064: Hiring a Cat (Part 2) [Requesting Monthly Ticket]
As if to respond, the soft and waxy ball in his arms "meowed", and the little chubby Dun'er also nodded. Um.
He carefully released his hand and lifted a corner of the coarse cloth.
Revealing a small, tabby-patterned civet cat.
The cat's eyes are open, but their color is not the common amber yellow but a rare aqua green, the nose is pink, and the coat color is much lighter than the ordinary tabby civet cat. Chu Yao frowned when he saw Shen Tang timidly meowing again and crawling into Little Fatty'er's arms.
Shen Tang's attention was focused on the cat, and he carefully brushed the soft cat fur with his fingertips. However, the cat was a little shy and timid: "Is this cat yours? Or is it a wild cat?"
Little Fatty Dun'er said: "It was born by the female cat at home."
Shen Tang asked again: "Why did you bring it out?"
Shouldn't such a small kitten be brought by the female cat? ?
The little chubby Dun'er felt depressed for a moment after hearing this. He looked down at the cat and said, "My father and mother said that I was not allowed to raise it, but that I had to throw it away."
"Not allowed to be raised? Is this cat not in good health? Can't it be raised?"
Little Fatty Dun'er shook his head and said honestly: "No, it's very good but its eyesight is bad. Dad thinks it's taboo and won't let it be raised. ”
The seven kittens in the litter were all amber yellow, exactly the same as the mother cat, but this one was different. The butcher was worried that it was an ominous sign, and the business was not doing well recently, so he felt that It doesn't feel good, so I'm going to throw the kitten away or give it up for adoption.
Little Fatty took it with him and asked the neighbors if they were willing to raise it. The result was predictable - it was difficult for ordinary people to feed themselves. They didn't have enough to eat, and there were leftovers to feed them. cat?
Shen Tang said: "What's wrong with the eyes? How beautiful they are."
The cat who was being sucked looked at it with such a pair of watery, clear and aqua eyes, which made people's hearts melt.
She was about to say something, but she heard Qi Shan asking from above her head: "Has this kitten found its owner?"
Little Fatty Dun'er shook his head: "Not yet. ."
Shen Tang: "? ?"
She dared to pat her chest and promised that she had never heard Qi Shan speak in such a soft voice before. The last time he would have disturbed this kitten. She looked up and was shocked to find that Qishan also had a gentle smile on his face——
fear!
┌(.Д.)┐
Shen Tang's expression lost control for a moment.
Unexpectedly, she also heard Qi Shan say: "That's very good. Wait for a while, I will check the almanac and choose a date to apply."
Shen Tang: "? ?”
Hire, hire? ? ?
Shen Tang asked: "Who are you hiring?"
Qi Shan said matter-of-factly: "Of course I'm going to hire this raccoon slave, it looks very much like a raccoon slave I raised before. ”
The eyes naturally showed a bit of reminiscence and emotion.
Shen Tang: “???”
If you want to raise a cat, just raise a cat. Why do you need to hire someone else?
Qi Shan not only solemnly made the appointment, but he also looked through the almanac and picked a good day. The time was tomorrow, which was an auspicious day for marriage. He drew a lifelike portrait of a cat on the appointment letter. Trouble The old woman in the house went out to buy dried fish and two bags of salt.
He acts vigorously and resolutely, without being sloppy, and there is a little bit of joy on his face that is visible to the naked eye as he prepares to be the "groom official"...
Shen Tang: "..."
This is outrageous.
Qi Shan was busy but no one was there. Chu Yao and the old woman borrowed the East Kitchen and carefully cleaned the purchased waste water.
Qishan knows how to bake pancakes. This is the first time Shen Tang has seen men cooking in this era. He wanted to help but was declined.
"Mr. Wuhui, don't they say that a gentleman stays far away from the cook?"
Not only does he know how to cook, he is also quite skilled.
Chu Yao wiped off the grease on his hands with a cloth, and joked with a smile: "These minced meats are all slaughtered by butchers, why is there any need to stay away? Besides, it's not like we are from different backgrounds. If If you don’t know how to cook, how can you expect to have enough food and clothing? ”
His current boss is Shen Xiaolangjun.
You are a servant, not your master, you must clearly understand your position.
Nowadays, cooking is simple and seasoning is sparse. Food is mainly boiled, grilled and steamed, and the taste is bland. Chu Yao has a secret skill. A lot of smelly sewerage is disgusting to ordinary people, but after the fishy removal process and the seasonings he prepared, it tastes delicious.
"Wu Lang, try your hand."
Shen Tang slurped away a bowl of noodles without ceremony.
To be precise, it is a rough version of noodles.
In other words, gnocchi.
The flour is simply kneaded into a ball and then sliced. Although it has no chewy texture, for Shen Tang, who has been eating pancakes for so long, it is nothing short of the best delicacy. The little chubby boy also had a mouthful of greasy food. He even didn't miss the soup in the bowl and picked it up cleanly.
Study with Chu Yao in the afternoon. What you learn is not books, but martial arts.
Shen Tang: "...???"
Chu Yao, a former literary scholar, taught students, instead of teaching his own profession, he went to teach martial arts across different professions?
There are two people in the family, one is happily preparing to hire a raccoon slave, the other is teaching martial arts to students in the courtyard, and Shen Tang...
She is both free again.
So——
After lying there for a quarter of an hour, she suddenly sat up - she was so bored, she felt so exhausted when she was free - there was no one to talk to and nothing to do, so she might as well sell wine at a stall and support her family! With a goal in mind, Shen Tang's mobility immediately exploded.
"Mr. Wuhui, I went out to set up a stall to sell wine." After the words fell, the person had almost disappeared, as if something was chasing her behind. Chu Yao only had time to say something. "Don't drink." I don't know if she heard it.
Old location from yesterday.
But there are many types of drinks.
Not only Dukang wine, but also wine from [Grape Wine Luminous Cup], rice wine from [Green Ant New Fermented Wine], Lanling Wine from [Lanling Wine Tulips, Jade Bowl Holding Amber Light]... ...Others will be unlocked slowly in the future. It’s just a pity——
She is just a wine maker and cannot taste it.
"I'm really too sad." Shen Tang sighed and sighed, "Asking you how sad you can be is like a eunuch going to a brothel."
"Puch——"
Laughter came from the shadows above.
As soon as Shen Tang looked up, she saw a familiar face. She was wary. Isn't this Mr. Gu, the tuberculosis man from Yuehua Building?
"Mr. Shen, are you...selling wine?"
"Otherwise? Could it be that you are basking in the sun?"
Shen Tang tapped the "wine" beside him with his finger. word signboard.
Isn’t this person asking questions knowingly?
"Mr. Gu, do you want to buy some wine?"
"How to sell it?"
Shen Tang said: "A jar of wine is two catties and four hundred and fifty cents, and other wines are two catties and three hundred cents each. The price is the same."
Mr. Gu handed over readily. I got money, but it was a large piece of silver.
Shen Tang was about to take out the scissors and scissors when Mr. Gu raised his hand to stop her and said with stern eyes: "I bought them all!"
She was slightly shocked.
Before the thought came up, he suddenly thought that the person in front of him could read minds. His expression froze slightly, he retracted his hand without leaving a trace, and said calmly: "Buy so much wine, can Mr. Gu take it back with you?"
"What are you doing next? You said you want to take it back by yourself? With such a big deal, can you trouble Mr. Shen to send it? "
Shen Tang said: "Of course I can."
The customer is God, so do the workers. No comment.
Mr. Gu lowered his eyelids slightly, with an indifferent expression. He said: "Okay, then I will trouble Mr. Shen to send it to Yaoling Pavilion."
Shen Tang asked again: "Where is Yaoling Pavilion?"
Mr. Gu suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
“Jiaofang, Xiaocheng Jiaofang.”
Shen Tang’s heart thumped suddenly.
Qi Shan judged that Tang Mei had the national seal not because she could change things, but the cause and effect was wrong.
He only judged that there was a national seal when he saw the first-grade one with Wenxin (only the princes could have it).
With the premise of "having a national seal", she conjured things, and coupled with the improvement of the soil by "Zhou Yuan Libi", she judged that the way of the princes was "farming".
Without knowing the premise that "there is a national seal", other people would be surprised if they saw something conjured, but they would not suspect anything. After all, the amount of things is linked to the consumption of Wen Xin, and the quantity is limited. This ability is considered useless by many people. Apart from reducing the cost of living and not starving to death, it is of no great use.
Chu Yao believed in destiny, and Shen Tang spent three taels to fulfill the early warning reminder given by his "Scribe's Way".
PS: Three updates tomorrow. Double updates guaranteed, plus one chapter (this chapter is updated on 9.4)
PPS: The ancients were quite serious when they were shit shovelers. Buying a cat was not called buying, it was called hiring, and it was like hiring someone on an auspicious day in the zodiac.
PPPS: Chu Yao likes dogs but dislikes cats.
