Chapter 16: Reward him with ten boards
Zhou Heng, who was a little tired, narrowed his eyes and leaned against the carriage, almost falling asleep.
Such a shout made him sleepless in an instant, and he quickly jumped off the shaft of the car, carrying the mahogany medicine box he had just bought.
Then he saw a few figures running in from the gate of the courtyard, holding something in his hands and chasing them. The person in charge was Erlin assigned to his courtyard by Butler Zhu.
Boss Xue also tied the reins and followed Zhou Heng into the hall. The car blocked it. Those people could not see Zhou Heng and the others, but Zhou Heng could see them.
"Erlin? What is he going to do?"
As soon as Boss Xue finished speaking, Erlin had already rushed to the donkey cart.
He covered his waist with one hand and picked up another stone behind the car. At this time, there were already a few gravels in his palm, shaking it and making a crisp sound, and stomping his feet and shouting at the boys beside him.
"It's bad, it's bad, so many of them have been broken along the way. You know, the pebbles paved in this garden were all transported by the Taihu Lake. Our young master walked into the garden. This car of heavy objects was crushed so much. Seeing that the pebbles were broken, he just asked Xue Tai to stop the car, but he ignored it. What should I do!"
Several servants kept nodding, Boss Xue poked Zhou Heng's arm and whispered behind him:
"I saw a boy who ran away from his head, probably to complain!"
Zhou Heng ignored him. No matter what, they came together, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog!
This accusation is a bit too much. No matter how expensive it is, it is just a few stones. Isn’t it carried Zhu Yunmo into the yard this morning, so why did they all walk into the garden?
Dogs bite you, you can't bite the dog.
This measure still needs to be grasped. Zhou Heng sorted out his sleeves, then crossed the threshold and left the hall, and asked loudly.
"What's the matter?"
When Erlin saw Zhou Heng coming out, he quickly bowed slightly.
"It disturbed Mr. Zhou's rest, but Brother Xue drove the donkey cart into the courtyard. The pebbles on the ground were shattered along the way. These were transported from Taihu Lake for a lot of money. They were piled up in patterns and spread on the ground according to different colors. The young man was panicked for a moment, so he asked Mr. Zhou to take a convenience."
Zhou Heng looked at this boy named Erlin carefully. He had a thin figure and pretty facial features. He seemed very polite when he said something, but in fact he was full of blame.
"Oh, it's convenient? Then please report to Xiao Bo, and the damaged pebbles will be deducted from the clinic fee!"
After saying that, Zhou Heng turned around and looked at Boss Xue and said:
"Unlock the truck, put the things in the kitchen, I'll clean my hands, and then we'll start to operate."
After saying that, Zhou Heng turned around and walked into the wing room. Zhou Heng was not worried about the guy who was looking down on the low-key manner. After all, Zhu Yunmo still needed to treat him by himself. At this time, offending the doctor was purely a search for abuse.
Erlin saw that Zhou Heng had no longer paid attention to him, and didn't know what to do about this for a moment, so he glanced down at the two people beside him, and both of them shook their heads.
Just then, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the gate of the courtyard.
Several people turned around, butler Zhu brought a few people and the boy who reported the news. Erlin quickly walked to Butler Zhu with a smile on his face, opened his palm and handed the broken pebbles to Butler Zhu.
Before he could speak, Butler Zhu raised his hand and slapped Erlin twice, raised his foot and kicked him to the side, and said angrily:
"I asked you to come and serve Mr. Zhou as a dog. I am polite you. Who would give you the courage to snatch Mr. Zhou like this? Even our son respectfully calls Mr. Zhou's benefactor. What are you?"
Erlin was kicked to the ground and knelt down quickly, covered his face and begged for mercy.
"The little lard is so sad that I feel sorry for the pebbles in the garden. The housekeeper will spare my life."
Butler Zhu glared at him angrily, waved his hand behind him, with a fierce look on his face.
"Cover your mouth and take it down, and give him ten steps, so as not to spread rumors here."
The boys who followed Erlin were instantly scared and fell to his knees. Butler Zhu raised his foot and kicked everyone away, quickly walked into the kitchen. When he saw Zhou Heng, he quickly bowed and bowed.
"It's all the old slave who is not disciplined strictly, which disturbs Mr. Zhou's purity."
Zhou Heng turned around and smiled at Butler Zhu. He said this greeting was for him. Obviously, Pang Xiao was asking for advice to treat himself kindly. There is no need to be unreasonable at this time, after all, he still wanted to get more rewards.
"Butler Zhu is polite. Zhou has made a mistake first!"
Butler Zhu smiled with an aunt on his face, and leaned close to Zhou Heng and said:
"Young Master Zhou, don't say that. I have arranged two more servants for you. These two kids have helped the chef in the kitchen to be quick-witted. Zhu Dayong, Zhu Changli come in!"
Before he finished speaking, two simple-looking boys walked in and greeted Zhou Heng.
Butler Zhu cleared his throat and ordered with a serious expression:
"Okay, I won't say much about it. Erlin is the lesson of the past. Don't make trouble, keep your mouth shut, listen to your instructions honestly, take good care of Mr. Zhou, and help Mr. Zhou and others to develop medicine and food. Can you write it down?"
The two of them quickly lowered their hands and said yes, but Butler Zhu said goodbye.
Zhou Heng sent it to the door. When he came back, he picked up the pebbles on the ground and looked at it. The cross-section of the stone was crystal clear, and it was indeed not an ordinary product. It seems that the construction of the plum garden costs more than he imagined, and his thighs need to be kept!
When he returned to the kitchen, Boss Xue had already taken the two of them to unload all the ingredients in the car and placed them neatly in the kitchen.
Zhou Heng looked at it one by one. The glutinous rice, honey and osmanthus are of first-class quality. Boss Xue bought it well and asked.
"How much silver will be spent today?"
Boss Xue quickly handed Zhou Heng the purchase order and a purse and said respectfully:
"One stone of glutinous rice, four cans of honey, a basket of osmanthus, brown sugar, licorice and mint each cost more than two taels of silver. These things are so expensive!"
Zhou Heng glanced at Boss Xue. This guy seemed to be moved by his maintenance just now. He spoke so respectfully at this time.
After glanced at the bill, Zhou Heng was shocked. A stone of glutinous rice was only one tael of silver, and the four small buckets of honey cost 800 yuan. It seems that it is more cost-effective to mix it with syrup next time, and the cost can be controlled.
Put away your things and waved at the three of them:
"When you have everything together, start preparing for it. Don't worry, you two will be able to do your rewards."
The two of them were delighted and quickly bowed to salute, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"
Zhou Heng smiled and ordered: "Zhu Dayong washed a basin of glutinous rice, washed three times and soaked it in well water. The water could cover two fingers of the surface of the glutinous rice. Then grab two handfuls of licorice and mint and soak it in a basin. Zhu Changli washed the lotus root, and then peeled the lotus root. Wash the hole in the middle of each lotus root to remove the mud at both ends."
The two of them moved, and Boss Xue looked at Zhou Heng with a puzzled look:
Chapter completed!
