Back Off, Let Me Come

As if to respond, the soft and waxy ball in his arms let out a "meow", and the little chubby boy nodded in agreement.

He carefully let go of his hand and lifted a corner of the coarse cloth.

A small, tabby-patterned civet cat was revealed.

The cat's eyes are open, but their color is not the common amber yellow but a rare aqua green, its nose is pink, and its 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 focused all his attention on the cat, and carefully stroked the soft fur with his fingertips, but the cat was a little shy and timidly asked, "Is this cat yours? Or a wild cat?"

Little Pang 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 carried by the mother cat?

The little chubby boy 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? Is this cat not healthy enough to keep alive?"

The little chubby boy 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 him raise it."

A litter of seven kittens are all amber-yellow, exactly the same as the mother cat, but this one is different. The butcher is worried about some ominous omen, just as the business is not doing well recently, and he feels uncomfortable, so he plans to sell the cat. The cubs were thrown away or given up for adoption.

The little chubby dun'er took it with him and asked the neighbors in the neighborhood if they would like to raise one. The result can be imagined - it is difficult for ordinary people to raise themselves.

Shen Tang said: "What's wrong with your 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 when she heard Qi Shan asking from above her head: "Has this kitten found its owner?"

Little Pang Duner shook his head: "Not yet."

Shen Tang: "???"

She dared to pat her chest to assure that she had never heard Qishan speak in such a soft tone before, as if her voice would disturb this cat cub even if it was even louder. She looked up and was shocked to find that Qishan also had a gentle smile on his face——

fear!

┌(.Д.)┐

Shen Tang lost control of his expression for a moment.

Unexpectedly, she heard Qishan say: "That's very good. Wait a moment, I'll look at the almanac and pick a date to hire."

Shen Tang: "???"

Hire, hire? ? ?

Shen Tang asked: "Who do you hire?"

Qishan said matter-of-factly: "Of course I will hire this raccoon slave. It looks very much like a raccoon slave I raised before."

His eyes naturally flowed with a bit of reminiscence.

Shen Tang: "???"

If you raise a cat, you can raise a cat, why do you need to hire a cat?

He prayed for goodness and not only made the appointment solemnly, he also searched the almanac to pick a good day, the time is tomorrow, the auspicious day, suitable for marriage, and drew a lifelike portrait of a cat on the letter of appointment, and troubled the old lady in the house to go out and buy it. Dried small fish and two bags of salt.

He acted vigorously and resolutely, without being sloppy, and his face also showed a bit of joy that was visible to the naked eye as he prepared 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.

Qi Shan knows how to make pancakes. This is the first time Shen Tang sees men cooking in this era. He wanted to help but was declined.

"Mr. Wuhui, don't everyone say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen?"

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 towel, and joked with a smile: "These minced meat are all butchered in butcher shops, so there is no need to stay away from them? Besides, it's not everyone's background, if you don't know how to cook , expecting to eat wind and drink dew to be able to feed and clothe?"

His current master is Mr. Shen Xiaolang.

You are a servant, not a master, and you must see your own position clearly.

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. There is a lot of smelly sewerage that ordinary people despise, but after removing the fishy smell and adding the seasonings he prepared, it tastes delicious.

"Goro, try your craft."

Shen Tang unceremoniously sucked away a bowl of noodles.

To be precise, it is a rough version of noodles.

Or rather, gnocchi.

Simply knead the flour into a ball and then slice it into slices. Although it has no chewy texture, for Shen Tang, who has been eating pancakes for so long, it is nothing short of a delicacy. The little chubby boy also had a mouthful of oil, even the soup in the bowl was not spared, and he picked it up and wiped it clean.

Study with Chu Yao in the afternoon.

What you learn is not books, but martial arts.

Shen Tang: "...???"

Chu Yao, a former Wenxin scholar, taught students, but instead of teaching the old profession he was good at, he went to teach martial arts across 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 was at ease again.

so--

She sat up suddenly after being a corpse for a quarter of an hour - she was so bored, she couldn't feel energetic when she was idle - no one talked to her and she had nothing to do, why not sell wine at a stall to support the family! With a goal in mind, Shen Tang's mobility immediately exploded.

"Mr. Wuhui, I'm going out to set up a stall to sell wine." After the voice fell, the person had almost disappeared in a flash, as if something was chasing her buttocks, Chu Yao only had time to tell her "don't drink alcohol", I don't know if she heard it.

The old location from yesterday.

But there are more types of drinks.

Not only Dukang wine, but also the wine of [Grape Wine Luminous Cup], the rice wine of [Green Ant New Grain Wine], the Lanling wine of [Lanling Fine Wine Tulip, Amber Light in Jade Bowl]... others, we will come back later Unlock slowly. 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."

"Puchi—"

Laughter came from the shadows above.

Shen Tang looked up and saw a familiar face. She was wary. Isn't this the ill Mr. Gu from Yuehua Building?

"Mr. Shen, are you...selling wine?"

"Otherwise? Could it be that we can just bask in the sun?"

Shen Tang tapped the sign with the word "wine" beside him.

Isn’t this person asking questions knowingly?

"Mr. Gu, do you want to buy some wine?"

"How to sell?"

Shen Tang said: "Wine is four hundred and fifty cents per jar, two catties, and other wines are three hundred cents per jar, two catties. The price is the same."

Mr. Gu readily handed over the money, but it was a large amount of silver.

Shen Tang was about to take out a pair of scissors and small scissors when Mr. Gu raised his hand to stop her and said with stern eyes: "I bought them all!"

She was slightly startled.

Before the thought came to him, he suddenly thought that the person in front of him could read minds, his expression froze, he withdrew his hand without a trace, and said calmly, "I bought so much wine, can Mr. Gu take it back?"

"When did I say that I wanted to take it back by myself? With such a big deal, can I trouble Mr. Shen to send it off?"

Shen Tang said: "Naturally."

The customer is God, and there is no objection to beating workers.

Mr. Gu lowered his eyelids slightly, with an indifferent expression, and said, "Okay, then I'll 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 an inscription on it (only princes could have one with a first-grade grade).

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 liang to fulfill the warning reminder given by his "Scribe's Way".

PS: Three more 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 on auspicious days of the zodiac.

PPPS: Chu Yao likes dogs but dislikes cats.
