Chapter 181 This decision is not easy to make
The labor and military training happened to be at this time. This work can only be entrusted to Shazhu. The amount of vegetables stored in winter is too large, and the younger brothers and sisters may choke. The key is to deal with it. It can be stored for more than three months if it is processed well, but it will go bad after ten days if it is not processed properly.
So, it is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If something really happens, you have to rely on neighbors to help. Zhu Xuesong and Zhu Xuemei, if no one can help, they will be blind.
Although Zhu Xuefeng will not be short of fresh vegetables, he still needs to prepare radish, sauerkraut and Chinese cabbage. It would be strange if he did not prepare them.
As for the Chinese New Year, it is still very satisfying to make dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, and to have steaming white meat braised with sauerkraut.
Vegetarian stir-fried Chinese cabbage is also very sweet. Mix it with cabbage sum, make spicy cabbage, cabbage soup, etc. Many ways of eating Chinese cabbage have been studied in the north, and they are all pretty good, especially during the Qianlong reign. Zhu Xuefeng’s favorite is cabbage.
I went to the courtyard to practice and rest in the evening. Zhu Xuefeng was lying on the armchair. Three girls were helping Zhu Xuefeng relax his muscles and bones. This specially trained technique was different and very comfortable.
Although they are still young and have not grown up, the three beautiful girls are still very eye-catching. Zhu Xuefeng is becoming more and more accustomed to relaxing after training every day.
A hot towel started to get cold, so Da Ya quickly changed it to another one. She wanted to continue applying it to Zhu Xuefeng’s face, but Zhu Xuefeng reached out to stop her.
“Da Ya, over the past month or so, you have maintained such a big yard well and kept it clean and tidy. Thank you for your hard work.”
"Don't dare, boss, this is all our responsibility. There are no people coming and going in the yard. It's easy to clean up. It's just some fallen leaves and dust. It doesn't take much. I can't afford the hard work."
"Okay, these dozens of houses are all in good order. I'm not blind. How do you learn your craft?"
"Master, this time is still short, and we have just joined the team. Now, we still need the guidance of the master, especially Master Wang’s carving, this..."
"It’s difficult, right?"
"It’s not difficult, Master Wang still praises it. The pictures I drew are spiritual, but I am just practicing carving on the stone, and my hands are not strong enough.”
“I understand, what are you two doing now?”
“Don’t be so cautious. , say it in a down-to-earth manner. "
Seeing the two twins' submissive looks, Zhu Xuefeng wanted to laugh. He really thought of himself as a master and did not dare to speak when he was nervous.
To be honest, it has been more than a month, and Zhu Xuefeng still can't tell the difference between his elder sister and younger sister. He calls them both together every time, for fear of being embarrassed if he calls the wrong one.
“Boss, what we are learning now are the basics, so we help with cutting as required, and we also practice sewing by hand, but we are still far from good.”
After the two of them finished speaking, they didn't dare to express their anger, for fear that Zhu Xuefeng would think they were learning too slowly.
Zhu Xuefeng lay down and smiled. In fact, if you practice martial arts, you will know that these three girls are quite spiritual. They are all able to be cut by hand. It seems that the tailor master should be quite satisfied. Otherwise, how could it be cut.
"Okay, I understand. You have learned well. You have to stick to it. There will be things for you to do later. Learn from me."
"What I taught you How are you doing with your basic training? You two can practice it first and let me see.”
The two of them still have some confidence. They practice hard every day and feel that they have made great progress, especially since they eat more this month than before. It was fine when his boss was around, but his body was changing unknowingly.
Looking at the two people's meticulous drills, this basic progress is quite fast. According to their own levels, they should be at level one, which is quite fast.
Although I had some basic knowledge before, I am still a half-baked master and am still away, so I only give pointers from time to time. There is not even a booklet. It seems that the two of them have a good understanding.
"I've made a lot of progress. Okay, you guys take a break first, Da Ya, let's see how your progress is." Da Ya is obviously better than the two of them. These three girls have good qualifications. Zhu Xuefeng is taking a closer look. After careful calculation, he spoke after a long while.
"I won't be here next week, and I won't be here next month. This time I will give you two months of living expenses at a time. The standard remains unchanged for the time being. This is thirty yuan, Da Ya, Take it, Lao Xie, I’ll go find him directly tomorrow.”
The three girls were overjoyed, too much. They seemed to have accomplished nothing and did not help their boss.
"Da Ya, it's October now. Tomorrow I'll ask the carpenter in the outer courtyard to prepare sauerkraut and Chinese cabbage for winter storage. You also have to prepare some other vegetables in the cellar. Remember, don't leave the cabbage. The cellar is breaking down quickly, you two go down first."
Watching the two closing the door and walking away, Zhu Xuefeng took out a strength pill (which slightly increases strength) and held it in his hand. He sat up and looked at Da Ya intently.
Da Ya slowly blushed at the sight and lowered her head, even the base of her ears felt hot.
“Pour me a glass of warm water.”
…
“Da Ya, what do you think of me treating you, I want to listen to the truth.”
Da Ya Ya didn't hesitate.
"My boss is very kind to us. He arranged our food, clothing, housing and transportation, and found us a master to learn how to make a living. You also personally taught us how to practice kung fu."
Zhu Xuefeng hesitated for a moment.
"If I have something secret that I want you to handle, can you make me trust you?"
Da Ya was stunned. The master had something to explain to him. Hearing Zhu Xuefeng's question, he quickly answered.
"Don't worry, boss, I will never say anything more than I should. If there is anything you want Daya to do, as long as I can do it, Daya will definitely complete it."
Zhu Xuefeng Looking carefully at Da Ya's eyes, there was no trace of hesitation, but rather firmness. Eyes can't deceive, at least not for Da Ya now.
Zhu Xuefeng breathed a sigh of relief. This decision was not easy to make. He originally wanted to wait for the three-month observation period to expire, but he was about to go out. It would be a waste of time to come back and conduct another inspection.
"Okay, you can say this, I guess I saw the right person, now you are mine, I originally wanted to inspect you for three months, I will give you this, eat it now, you can increase "Strength, don't let anyone talk about it, including Erya and Sanya."
I am considered the master's person, and the master trusts me. Daya is a little excited, feeling hopeless after being abandoned and now finding support. The excitement was intertwined, and I was a little dazed for a while, and I didn't hear the words behind it clearly.
Seeing Da Ya stunned, Zhu Xuefeng realized that what he just said might have some impact on her, but he didn't even realize about the pill.
“Eat this, don’t let anyone know about this, understand!”
Da Ya reached out to take it in confusion and swallowed it in one gulp. Zhu Xuefeng handed over a glass of water. Ya took it, drank it in one gulp, and sat down as Zhu Xuefeng asked. After a while, she felt her body heat up, and a warm current flowed through her limbs, which made her feel extremely comfortable.
"My boss, I feel that my whole body is full of strength now. Is the elixir you gave me an elixir?"
"There is no elixir in this world. This is what martial arts practitioners use. Come here and I will try your strength." .”
