Chapter Thirteen: Poetry Becomes the Kitchen King

Outside the ten-mile long pavilion, thousands of layers of wheat waves are there. How expensive is Dongzhuang? Money and wealth are all over the world.

--Dongzhuang slang

The owner of Dongzhuang has become a local legend for thirty years - he lived in Dongzhuang thirty years ago. He started as a hotel guy, and after enduring, he became a rich man today. It is impossible to let people sigh that "Thirty years Hedong, thirty years Hexi"...

"The owner of the manor, there are not enough servants in the backyard..." A middle-aged man with a butler was replying to a simple-dressed old man in his fifties on the chair.

The old man pondered: "No way? I remember that half a year ago, didn't there be a group of servants at home?"

The housekeeper replied with a smile: "Isn't it all the owners who take care of them? Those who were cheating and cheating were driven out for a month! As for those diligent and honest, the materials they made were sent out one after another by the owners, and they gave them some capital to go solo... Now their small business is becoming more and more prosperous, but their family is short of staff..."

The old man waved his hand: "Since he is a material that can be made, nothing can block the way for others... Did the wise men say from time to time - it is said, 'It is better to have fun to everyone than to have fun alone'; as for the people he ordered... today, I have nothing to do, so I will just go to the East City to see two available people."

The housekeeper said respectfully: "Then I'll go prepare the car..."

The old man smiled and said, "I'm not old enough to walk anymore... East City is not far away, so let's take a walk as a car!"

After a while, the master and servant were approaching the East City. The old man stopped, thought for a moment, and said to the butler: "You have good eyesight, look at the group of laborers who have locals..."

The housekeeper looked at the group of people waiting for their employers and replied to the old man with a smile: "This Dongzhuang has been remediated by you for ten years and is very prosperous! Except for those who are not capable of making, the locals are still strictly disciplined by Master Zhao, the rest have their own lives and their lives are booming! Who else will be wandering around in this Dongcheng City? They are all from other hometowns..."

"Out of the country? No one should know me!" The old man nodded and ordered the butler, "Then... you are your butler and come here to recruit people. I will be your follower and give you a blow..."

The housekeeper shook his hand: "How dare the little one take this? No! No!..."

The old man blew his beard and said, "What's the point! I'll do it..."

For this mission, Erya has been here for more than a month. For the past month, Erya has been asking about Wei Wuji's various things, but she has never been able to do so. In the mouths of the common people in the village, the owner of the manor was the God of Wealth, and everything was impossible. When asked about the owner's appearance, they shook their heads and said that the owner's appearance was a secret. When the manor said this, Erya clearly saw cunning in their eyes. Someone must have explained it... Erya smiled bitterly and couldn't help but complain about the bad rules of the masters - this mission must be done with his own strength! As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and knowing others can you win a hundred battles. When he first came to a foreign land, he was like blind...

The most ridiculous thing is that Taoyuan actually requires strict time to this mission. Just after Wei Wuji's 60th birthday, he brought him back to Taoyuan for punishment. Before that, Erya even had to protect Wei Wuji... Thinking of this, Erya was a little funny - is this mission still a killer mission?

Just as Erya was thinking about it, she heard someone beside her shout: "Ha! The butler of the He family is here, this is a good life!"

Just as this person said this, Hula, a group of people looking for work, rushed up and surrounded the He family's housekeeper for a storm. Even the old man who helped him was squeezed out... Erya was stunned and was isolated from the crowd. Thinking of this good opportunity to sneak into the He family, she was very anxious and shouted: "Confucius said, 'Everything is equal in front of the job... That's it, why don't you even shout 'preparation... run'?" He also squeezed into it desperately...

The housekeeper was quarreled by a group of strong men in the crowd and couldn't find the North. After finally finding a gap, he shouted: "Whoever wants to do work, line up immediately!"

Everyone was stunned, and after reacting, they were quite efficient... The housekeeper looked at the column with satisfaction and began to ask questions one by one...

Erya reacted a little slower, but she had no choice but to stand at the end of the more than 30 people. While she was bored, she saw the old man who came with the housekeeper standing near her, looking at everyone with a smile... Erya thought for a moment and smiled wickedly: "Hehe! Although that old man is also a servant, if he can follow the housekeeper to do errands at this time, he will definitely be able to speak among the servants. Why not take the middle-level route..." Since he had this idea, Erya started talking to the old man...

Erya really didn't see that this old man was not outstanding, but he was a contemporary "Yugong" - he talked about it even more... Erya has a little knowledge of this world in the past two years, and what he heard in the books actually talked about with this person for half a pound - this old man seemed to be traveling all over the country when he was young, and the mountains, rivers, geography, and customs were revealed in front of Erya. Erya silently guessed in his heart, and confirmed it with each other in the book, which also benefited a lot... But Erya repeatedly emerged, the young man's thoughts were frivolous, and the fresh views of his previous life were revealed, and the old man's thoughts were also attracted...

However, the mountains have endless peaks, and only the peaks are unique. Some of the two people's views also caused fierce conflicts... When talking about tit-for-tat, the two of them beat each other up. The old man even slapped his thighs in anger: "Disobedience! The ancestor said - the earth is like a chessboard, the sky is like a dome and is bulging in all directions! Where does the theory of the earth being round?"

Erya was glad that she didn't have a beard at this time - she was so indecent! But her words were also pointed at the wheat beads: "If the place where she lives was like a chessboard, why did the ship returning to the sea slowly appear, instead of being able to see it at a glance!"

At this time, the two of them realized that the housekeeper had finished the labor assessment, and a group of people were watching the old and the young "quarrel" there...

The butler said to Erya with a strange expression: "Little brother, I wonder what position you want to join the He family?"

Erya put away her anger at the old man and smiled: "I heard for a long time that Old Manor He has read poetry and books and has extensive knowledge. I want to go to the study room of your manor to be a student. This will not only support the family, but also not neglect to learn. I often listen to the owner's exploitation of the owner, and I will benefit a lot..."

The housekeeper smiled, glanced at the old man, and said, "Well... Although the attendant student does not require a talent, he also needs to be of medium qualifications!"

Erya said anxiously: "I have seven-step poetry talent next..." Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter around him...

One person laughed and said, "Your Excellency, what a big tone! Could it be that you are the legendary 'Six-art Boy'? Haha..." Everyone sneered again.

Erya said anxiously: "Please ask the butler to give a question on the spot..."

The housekeeper was also laughing and pointed casually: "Just put the sparrow as the title..." As the title was already published, Erya looked bitter... The housekeeper smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if he can't do it, but you are young and can't brag like this in the future!"

Erya replied with a bitter face: "I already have a poem... But when I recite it at this time, I don't respect you guys with big trees!"

A person next to him smiled and said, "Say! Who knows if it's your excuse!"

The butler also said, "Tell me! We are not angry!"

Erya cleared her throat: "One nest, two nests, three or four nests..." Before she finished speaking, everyone was smiling...

Erya was unmoved: "Five nests, six nests, seven nests..." Everyone laughed even more...

But Erya suddenly turned around: "Eat thousands of millets from thousands of families, how many phoenixes are there?" The laughter stopped abruptly, everyone looked embarrassed, only the old man praised...

Seeing that the atmosphere became cold, the old man went up to mutter a few words in the butler's ear... The butler glanced at Erya and pointed his fingers: "You! You!... And you..." Among these ten people, Erya seemed to be Erya. Erya was grateful and smiled at the old man...

A dozen people followed the butler to the He family courtyard. The butler was sharing life for everyone... It was Erya's turn, and the butler whispered: "You... go to the stove in the inner courtyard..."

A voice suddenly came from the ten people: "The black phoenix flew out from under the stove... quack!... quack!..." Everyone laughed...
