Chapter 15 Things Are Getting A Little Big

There is no dining table at home. On a broken stool, there is a large bowl of fragrant garlic sprouts and a bowl of sweet, crispy and tender garlic cucumbers.

Zhao Qi and Old Man Liu could only sit around the stool and eat.

Although this dish of garlic sprouts is not authentic, and the bean paste without peppers lacks some soul, facing this delicacy that spans hundreds of years of time and space, Old Man Liu and Old Mrs. Su both praised it. Xiao Zhu even buried her head in the rice bowl and ate it without lifting it up. Zhao Qi naturally feasted and ate it all over the mouth.

It’s not that he was greedy for meat, but that the fool’s body was not good, and he really didn’t bear hunger. Moreover, Zhao Qi rarely did physical work like chopping bamboo. Therefore, this re-cooked meat meal made Zhao Qi’s soul and this body seem to be more coordinated.

"Is Brother Qi here?"

Just as the four of them were eating, a burly figure walked in at the entrance of the cave.

"Uncle Dayuan is back!" Zhao Qi quickly stood up and said hello.

"Hey, it's so fragrant, what are you eating?" Yang Dayuan's Adam's apple was soaked by the fragrance of the double-cooked meat in the cave, and his eyes fell into the vegetable bowl on the stool.

"Dayuan is here just right. Haven't eaten yet? Brother Qi made a bowl of refilled pork. It's so delicious. Come and try a few pieces to satisfy your cravings!" Old Man Liu greeted with a smile.

"Go and serve Dayuan a bowl of rice!" Old Mrs. Su ordered Xiaozhu.

"No, I just came back and had a bowl of soup cakes in the town..." Yang Dayuan waved his hand quickly.

"Uncle Dayuan, don't be polite. I'm hungry after traveling a few miles back and forth. Besides, the weather is hot and the meat is unbearable. If you don't taste it now, you may not be able to eat it tomorrow!" Zhao Qi smiled and brought a broken stool and sat down with Yang Dayuan.

"Then I'm not polite!" Yang Dayuan was actually seduced by the smell of meat and saliva was sensation. After politely rejecting, he sat down and brought half a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks.

"Well, it's delicious, what kind of meat can be made so delicious!" Yang Dayuan's face turned into a piece of meat with a piece of cooked meat, and his face became extremely surprised, and he nodded and praised while chewing.

"It's pork, sent by Manager Liu from the town!" Old Man Liu helped explain.

"Shopkeeper Liu... Um... I understand. It must be the one who saved his second baby in the pharmacy yesterday..." Yang Dayuan was stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly.

"Hey, you know about this, too?" Old Man Liu looked up in surprise.

"The whole town knows it, and it is circulating that the mountain god appears. Brother Qi was hit by the statue of the mountain temple and became enlightened. Brother Qi was also very popular. I heard many people in the town saying that the village chief also knew it. I went to discuss the construction of the mountain god. I heard that there were still a few wealthy families in the town who wanted to raise some money to get some light from the mountain god in our village. The village chief summoned people to discuss it..."

"I'm afraid that people from Mingzhou will know about it in a few days!"

While having a meal, Yang Dayuan roughly said about going to the town today in a few words, and finally added a special sentence.

"Okay, the gods showed their spirit to cure Brother Qi'er's illness. Maybe in a few days, the officials will send someone to invite Brother Qi to be the high-ranking official!" Old Man Liu was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

"I'm afraid this is not a good thing!" Old Mrs. Su slowly stopped eating.

Damn, this matter seems to be a big deal.

Zhao Qi was also stunned with his job.

Emperors of any era like auspiciousness. The Song Dynasty is in turmoil and the old, weak and lustful Song Lizong is also incompetent in governing the country. He allows Ding Daquan and other four Gangs of Gang to control the government and act as a blessing. If this matter really reaches the emperor's ears, after the exaggeration of the good people, he may be troublesome if the emperor is happy and really brings himself to Lin'an as a mascot to offer it.

The bastards in the court are not so easy to meet.

At that time, I will be alone and at mercy. If I don’t cooperate, I may be left with treacherous officials like Ding Daquan.

Moreover, Ding Daquan is about to fall and get involved with them, such as the treacherous slander. Even if he is in a glorious period, he will be involved in the event of a replacement, and the evil spirits who are regarded as deceiving the emperor will be even more miserable.

"Uncle Dayuan, can you tell Lidian that the temple building matter is our Maowan Village to raise money by myself. Although I got better after being smashed by the statue of God, I heard Dr. Lu say yesterday at the pharmacy that I was crazy before, maybe because of a head disease. After being smashed by the statue of God, I was cured by the disease. And Dr. Lu also asked me to pay attention on weekdays, and maybe the disease may recur one day..."

"Doctor Lu really said that?" Yang Dayuan stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and looked at Zhao Qi blankly.

"Well, Xiaozhu was there at that time, and many people in the pharmacy heard it!" Zhao Qi nodded confidently.

"Uncle Dayuan, Doctor Lu did say so!" Xiaozhu spoke next to her.

"This is a bit difficult to deal with. If the incident reaches the emperor, Brother Qi'er's illness will be very troublesome. Those of us who say that the mountain gods appear will probably be arrested and sent to jail!" Old Man Liu's face looked a little ugly when he grabbed his sparse beard.

"What should I do?" Yang Dayuan was very excited at first, but Zhao Qi's statement made him feel a little helpless.

"The Mountain God Temple was originally from our village, and we should have built it ourselves. If it was too big and Brother Qi was sick again, there would definitely be a lot of unpleasant words, which would not be good for our village. Dayuan, hurry up and go to Lidian to finish the meal, tell him not to make things worse, tell him what Doctor Lu said, don't let him talk nonsense everywhere. Once it reaches the ears of the prefects and other officials, these people will climb up to become officials, and then let Qi'er suffer along!" Old Mrs. Su spoke.

"The grandmother is right, I'll go now!" Yang Dayuan didn't want to taste the meat back in the pot. He finished the rice in a few bites and threw it down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up. He walked to the door and turned back and said, "I bought the money for fragrant wax paper, and it's in the backpack at the door!"

After eating the bowl of rice, Old Man Liu left and went home. Zhao Qi was also a little indifferent to this incident and sat on the pile of bamboos in a daze.

The sun gradually sets westward and slowly sets until dusk, when the sky is almost gone, Yang Dayuan and a young man with a pockmarked face hurriedly returned from the direction of Yanggong Town.

"Uncle Dayuan, what do you mean by the village chief?" Zhao Qi quickly jumped out of the pile of bamboo.

"I have already told the village chief that he has also specifically asked Doctor Lu. Doctor Lu also reminded us not to talk about the appearance of the mountain god everywhere. Lidian also thinks you are right. It is our village who will pay for the mountain god temple to repair it!" Yang Dayuan said with his sleeves and sweat on his forehead.

"That's good!" Zhao Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Qi, do you still recognize me?" The young man from Mazi who came with Yang Dayuan looked up and down curiously and asked with a smile on his face.

"Stop making trouble with Ermazi. Brother Qi is ready and I don't remember anything. This is Ermazi from our village and is also a worker at the Lu Family Trading Company on the dock. If you want to help you earn money in the future, if I don't have it, I will look for him directly!" Yang Dayuan pointed at the young man in Mazi and said.

"Just call me Erma Brother!" Seeing Zhao Qi not knowing how to speak, the young man Mazi waved his hand generously.

"Okay, thank you Brother Erma!" Zhao Qi nodded quickly.

"What are you thanks? They are all from the same village. I was only six years old when your father fell into the sea. From now on, you will be with me. I promise no one dares to bully you. By the way, A'an is in the same group as me!" Ermazi grinned with Zhao Qi's shoulders, and his face was full of pockmarks.

Zhao Qi:...

It seems that all the villagers are very happy to see A'an's wife taking a bath.

After Yang Dayuan and Ermazi left, while the sky was hazy, Zhao Qi took off all his clothes and jumped into the pond next to the broken kiln and rubbed a shower. When he put on his clothes and walked into the cave, Old Mrs. Su was already asleep, and Xiaozhu was also sitting in the hay where she was sleeping after taking a shower.

"I'll help you apply the medicine and go to bed earlier!"
