Chapter 45
On NO.30, Zhang Fuzhen's wife and master Muxiu, he also had a day off, and took Zhang An to visit Yang Feier again in the morning. I haven't seen you for half a month. I saw many new faces in the store, especially It was those young people, one at the counter, two in the production room, and even the one doing odd jobs, all of them looked talented, and they were very dissatisfied in their hearts, but they couldn't say anything.

Everyone in the Hu family hadn't seen Zhang Fuzhen for many days, seeing him here today, they all went up to greet each other one by one, feeling very cordial.

Unknowingly, feelings come out in this way.

Yang Feier then asked Mrs. Zhang how she was in good health and what her diet was like. Zhang Fuzhen said: "My mother is in good health recently, she is not as picky eater as she was when she was in the farm, but the food she likes is relatively simple. She likes beef and Fried chicken, vegetables are hardly eaten, but fruits are always available, so I teach the cooks to worry about it, and they can eat some at night, and they look very good."

Hearing what Zhang Fuzhen said, Yang Feier couldn't help feeling relieved.

While talking, the store started to get busy, Yang Feier persuaded Zhang Fuzhen to sit by Hu Kang's side, and also helped them instruct them for a while, but Zhang Fuzhen said: "Come with me, I have a happy thing to do with you." Tell me." He lifted the kitchen curtain and entered first.

Yang Feier didn't know what was going on, and he didn't want to be in the same room with the two of them, but he had already entered, and there was no way to refuse him, so he had no choice but to follow in silently.

The two sat at the table, Zhang Fuzhen took out an envelope from his arms, and said: "This is the silver rewarded by the court, my mother asked me to send it to you."

Yang Feier wondered: "A reward from the imperial court?"

Zhang Fu said: "Your method of transplanting seedlings and planting fish and rice symbiosis has been a great success this autumn. The county magistrate here jointly signed a petition, hoping that the court will reward the person who researched this method, Zhang Liu, who is also my mother." Two: Cast these two methods quickly to various places, requesting that all regions adjust measures to local conditions, plant according to this method, and plant rapeseed and wheat this autumn in different holes. Seeing the effect, the emperor approved the performance, and issued an imperial decree the day before yesterday to promote my father as Minister of the Household Department I was promoted to two ranks, my mother was granted the second-rank order, and I was given some silk, silk, jewelry and jade, 5000 taels of silver and 1000 taels of gold. My mother said that they accepted the official position and made Miss Hu happy. Tell me to take these silver taels and send them over, and I brought a carriage over, with cloth and jewelry parked outside."

Yang Feier was quite surprised, and kept counting the time in his mind. He expected that the government would deal with this matter about a year ago. Unexpectedly, it came so soon, and he attached so much importance to it. However, in ancient society, agriculture was the core of the country. Fundamentally, such a heavy reward is also reasonable.

It's just that Mrs. Zhang asked Zhang Fuzhen to bring her a reward, but she really didn't need it, so she handed the envelope back to Zhang Fuzhen again, saying: "I have nothing to do with this reward, please return the money to the outside world." Take back everything in the carriage, and please thank your mother for me."

Zhang Fuzhen didn't go to pick up the envelope, and asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

Yang Feier said: "At the beginning, I made a verbal agreement with your mother that I only borrowed fields, planted rice, and raised fish, and everything else has nothing to do with me. This matter is now a fluke. If it doesn't work, wouldn't your family have to bear a burden?" A whimsical laughing name? At that time, do you want me to bear it together?"

Zhang Fuzhen was stunned for a while when he was said, it seemed that what Yang Feier said made sense, but if he was asked to bring back these rewards, there seemed to be something wrong, so he said: "Why don't you go there yourself and meet my mother face to face Tell me why."

Yang Feier knew what he meant, so he deliberately said aggressively: "Oh!, I forgot, you are the eldest son of the Zhang family, how can you order me around?"

As he spoke, he pretended to be angry, and turned around as if he was about to leave.

Zhang Fuzhen had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed Yang Feier's wrist, and said, "You know that's not what I meant, why bother to provoke me?"

He said again: "Then how about this? How about I go with you when you go later?"

Yang Feier sighed in his heart: It seems that Zhang Fuzhen probably can only do so.So he stopped embarrassing him and said: "Okay, then I have to thank you."

Shaking the wrist tightly clamped by him, he said, "Can you let go? I still have to go to work. How about asking Mr. Zhang to move to my elder brother? You are more talented than them, and you can also pass by the way." Teach them a thing or two."

But Zhang Fuzhen didn't let go, said: "I still have something to ask you today." Yang Feier said: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Fuzhen smiled and said: "Today you take a day off, I will take you to a good place."

Yang Feier laughed: "You see, I'm so busy every day that I can't get away. I don't have the heart to go to any good place."

He wanted to break free again, but Zhang Fuzhen didn't let go, saying: "Being trapped in one room for a long time to do things, instead of working behind closed doors, why not go out for a tour of the mountains and rivers, maybe it can give you enlightenment."

His words touched Yang Feier's heart. During this period of time, he worked hard every day, so busy that he didn't even have time to think, just like a real pastry chef working hard.

This is not my original intention!

Seeing that Yang Feier relaxed his struggle, Zhang Fuzhen seemed a little hesitant, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down. The aspirations of mountains and rivers are not just what you can see?"

Yang Feier thought for a moment, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "Mr. Zhang is still eloquent and eloquent. You can convince me no matter how many things I have. I really admire you."

Zhang Fuzhen was overjoyed when he heard the words, he let go of the hand that had been pinching Yang Feier's wrist, cupped his hands and said: "Miss Hu knows people's good deeds and is considerate of my heart, I appreciate it."

Yang Feier ignored his funny look and asked, "Where is the good place you mentioned?"

Zhang Fuzhen smiled slyly and said: "You just follow me, I guarantee that there will be another world that will make you linger and forget to return!"

As he spoke, he pulled Yang Feier up and walked out. Yang Feier shook off his hand that was about to be adored at that time, and said: "You go ahead first, and I will just follow you."

After leaving the kitchen, Yang Feier found Axu to stand at the counter for Hu Yongqiang, then found Shen Shi, pulled the two of them to their bedroom and said, "Zhang Fuzhen came to me today and said that he would take me out for a day. You can do it?"

When the two heard this, they were unexpectedly very happy. Hu Yongqiang said: "You should also go out to relax. Since your health has recovered, you have only visited Fucheng in the past year, but you still tricked me into selling it." Fish. There are so many people added to the family these days, and they all take care of their own duties. As long as the things in your production room are arranged properly, you can relax for a day."

Shen said: "Young master of the Zhang family, we think he is a sincere boy, and he is a few years older than you, and Zhang An and his old coachman are following, you just follow them closely, don't get lost Come on, this prefecture is no bigger than our Tangjia Village, the place is too big."

Yang Fei'er should be, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This family has a really big heart, so they just let their daughter go out with a foreigner."

Thinking about it again, when Zhang Fuzhen was in the Hu family, he always showed the appearance of a dignified and modest gentleman. In addition, the Zhang family is also considered to be a high-ranking man in this Anhuai mansion, with a cautious reputation and a lot of praise. It is no wonder that the Hu family and his wife trust him Plus.

He showed them the bank note again, and said, "Mrs. Zhang asked Zhang Fuzhen to bring this to me, saying that it was a reward from the emperor to the Zhang family for planting rice and fish. In addition, there are those cloths in the carriage outside. jewelry."

Hu Yongqiang took the two banknotes, and Shen also leaned over to look at them. It was the first time in their lives that the two of them saw what the banknotes looked like. Hu Yongqiang could read a few words, pointing to each word and saying: "Baiyin 5000 taels." After the two finished reading, they took a breath at the same time, pointed at the word and read it again, looked at Yang Feier, unbelievable, drew another bank note, pointed to read " 1000 taels of gold".

The two lived to be more than 30 years old. Where did they deal with gold? The word gold shocked them far more than silver.

The two of them immediately froze on the spot, as if they had lost their souls.

Seeing the two of them like this, Yang Feier couldn't help feeling a little funny, and said: "I decided to return the money to Mrs. Zhang. At that time, it was agreed when we borrowed the land. We only care about planting rice and raising fish. They don't even pay the land rent and tax." I paid it for us, and logically speaking, we are just doing a long-term job, and the several thousand catties of rice and fish are our compensation, which is beyond expectations, how can we accept these things?"

Hearing this, Hu Yongqiang bowed his head and pondered for a while, and said: "Xiu'er, you are right. When others asked me what I planted and how I planted it, I always said that I listened to my boss. Ask yourself, how can I not have any selfishness to let my boss take the blame?" ? Now seeing that someone has received a reward, do you want to take a share of it? You can't be so greedy."

Shen has always listened to her husband, put the two bank notes back into the envelope, handed them to Yang Feier for safekeeping, and said: "If you decide to return it, you can return it. Our family knows that Mrs. Zhang has the best intentions."

The three of them went out by themselves.

……

Seeing that the two of them were so reasonable, Yang Feier couldn't help but stare at them. In this small family that has just become rich, these two bank notes are a huge sum of money, and they even give up if they say they can't accept it. , this kind of open-mindedness, treating money as nothing, is not something anyone can do.

Unexpectedly, she spoke highly of the Hus and his wife, and the Zhang family also regarded her in the same way. When she went back to deliver the bank notes at night, Mrs. Zhang also firmly refused, saying: "How much do I take in this immortal work that benefits the people forever?" I know the merits in my heart, and now you don’t have to back and forth for this little money. You know, because of this merit, my husband’s official position has been promoted to two ranks, and besides the monthly salary, how many other honors are there in my second-rank decree? Although these are bestowed by the emperor, they are also the fruits of your intellect. This extravagant possession is only for you to enjoy the emperor's favor, but it is difficult to match your achievements. You can just accept it with a clear conscience. If you want more Said, I have to be ashamed. We all just seek benevolence and benevolence."

Mrs. Zhang has spoken to such an extent that Yang Feier really has nothing to say, so he solemnly thanked her and said: "Madam Gao Yi, little girl accepts."

Not to mention what happened that night, but Yang Feier put away the bank note that Shen Shi returned to him, arranged everything in the production room, and then left Shuyuan Street with Zhang Fuzhen, went to Jinhuai Street, and went all the way to Walking west, when passing Ruifuxian, I saw a new notice board at the entrance of the restaurant, which recorded a long list, all of which are the queue numbers for ordering roast duck. I don’t know who came up with the idea, and it is also a bit creative.

After walking for half an hour, they arrived at the foot of Dashu Mountain. At about ten o'clock at that time, the coachman stopped to harness his horses, Zhang Fuzhen got out of the car, followed by Yang Feier, and said to Zhang An and the coachman: " You just wait here to see what is on the mountain, you have also seen it, it is very safe, don't worry."
