Chapter 73 Zhang Erniu
After eating and drinking, we will start working. Zhang Ran and Sankui came to the backyard with two bags of wheat to continue grinding noodles.
After gaining the experience of the last time, the two of them were ripe and quickly ground the two large bags of wheat into wheat flour. Then, the two of them sifted out the bran in the wheat flour in the wheat flour and worked until almost noon before they finished them all.
Just as Zhang Ran and the others were about to go back to the front yard to rest and plan to continue grinding the remaining two bags of wheat into flour in the afternoon, Zhang Meng suddenly brought a young man to the back yard.
The young man behind Zhang Meng looked about twenty-one or two years old, with fair skin and thin figure. He was wearing a clean and neat dress with a gentle smile and looked like a scholar.
"Brother!"
Just when Zhang Ran was secretly guessing the origin of this young man, he didn't expect that Sankui, who was beside him, suddenly shouted, then rushed out with a quick step, stepped forward and hugged the future person tightly, and shouted excitedly: "Brother, you are back! You miss me so much!"
"Well"
Zhang Ran looked at the thin young man who was tightly tied by Sankui and was a circle smaller than Sankui. A question rose in his mind: "This is Sankui's second brother, Zhang Erniu!!"
"Damn, how did Uncle Zhang get the name? This thin person like Ma Gan actually called Erniu? I think he should be called Erhou!"
Although he was crazy about Zhang Meng's name, Zhang Ran looked full of surprise on his face, and suddenly stood up and greeted enthusiastically: "Brother is back! Uncle, brother, I have worked hard all the way, come and sit here! Then, uncle, you sit first, I will pour you a bowl of water to quench your thirst!"
As he said that, Zhang Ran brought a few bamboo stools (the bamboo stools were made by Zhang Ran when he was teaching the teenagers to weave fish cages), and brought a pottery jar and a pottery bowl to each of them. He poured a bowl of boiled water.
"I haven't seen each other for half a year, my third brother has become much stronger again!"
Zhang Erniu patted Sankui's shoulder and struggled hard. After finding that he couldn't get out of it, he had to gently kick Sankui's foot and whisper: "Let go quickly, I'm still carrying something!"
As he said that, Zhang Erniu lifted the mutton in his hand and signaled Sankui, then turned to Zhang Ran on the side with a gentle smile: "Brother Ran seems to have grown a lot taller, and he is a real man in a blink of an eye!"
"Hehe~"
Zhang Ran touched his head and smiled silly twice, saying, "Where, where, brother is joking!"
After some politeness, Sankui also experienced his initial excitement, obediently let go of his brother, and intimately pulled Zhang Erniu and his father Zhang Meng to sit back on the stone bench together.
After the few people sat down, Zhang Erniu twisted left and right, looked at the bamboo stools curiously, then looked at Zhang Ran, and suddenly sighed: "I heard from Ah Weng that Brother Ran suffered a serious illness some time ago. I also helped to hire a doctor and took a few medicines. Unexpectedly, Brother Ran was cured in a blink of an eye. This is really a blessing from Tai Yi God!"
"Uh" Zhang Ran didn't expect that when he was sick, Zhang Erniu also helped. He couldn't help but feel a little affection for him. He quickly stood up and thanked him: "I have to thank you brother for your hard work, otherwise I wouldn't have been so fast!"
"Brother, you don't have to be so polite!"
Zhang Erniu waved his hand and said not to care, and said to Zhang Ran: "It's shameful to say that, I didn't know that Ran Ge'er was so sick at that time. I just thought it was an ordinary cold, otherwise I would have to come back to see whatever I said."
At this time, Zhang Meng, who was beside him, suddenly slapped the table and interrupted, "Okay, you are all your own brothers, why should you divide each other? Erniu, keep your polite words for others! This time I have something to do when I come back to you. Brother Ran, tell him!"
"Haha..." Zhang Erniu smiled awkwardly when he heard this. Facing his father's stern and dissatisfied gaze, he could only touch his nose and smiled bitterly at Zhang Ran: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the serious business. Brother Ran, I heard that you specifically asked me back this time, because there is a business to discuss with me? What business is it the tofu you made last time?"
"Uh" Zhang Ran didn't expect that Zhang Meng didn't tell Zhang Erniu noodles. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Meng beside him, and found that he shook his head gently and said, "I didn't tell him, I don't care about such things, you guys will tell you!"
After saying that, he stood up and turned around and left.
Zhang Ran didn't care too much about Zhang Meng's departure because Zhang Ran knew that Zhang Meng, as an elder, was not easy to participate in such matters, otherwise a bad situation would probably hurt each other's relationship. Relatively speaking, Zhang Meng is more suitable to stay outside. If you find a bad situation, you can stop it in time as an elder or reconcile it in a central manner.
After Zhang Meng left, Zhang Ran bowed and replied apologetically: "Something happened to the tofu incident. For some reason, a noble person involved, so I'm afraid I can't sell tofu without the permission of that noble person! Moreover, since that time, my uncle has harshly warned us not to reveal any rumors. So please forgive me, brother."
"It's okay!" Zhang Erniu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since Ah Weng said everything, then let's be younger generations! Brother Ran would like to talk about what business he wants to do this time! If you can help me, you will definitely help you with all your strength."
"Hehe~, don't worry about business matters. Brother is running all the way, so you must be hungry!" As he said that, Zhang Ran turned to Sankui beside him and signaled: "Why are you still standing there? Go and make some flour. Let's cook a bowl of noodles for your brother!"
"Uhhh" Sankui touched his big head and said in confusion: "This Chaoshi has just passed, and Li Xishi is still early! What food do you eat?"
"Stupid!" Zhang Ran glared at Sankui with regret, and said angrily: "Why are you going to eat morning and evening when you come? Go and cook the fire quickly and prepare to cook noodles!"
"Haha" Just at this moment, after seeing the strange interaction between Zhang Ran and Sankui, Zhang Erniu couldn't help laughing: "The business that Brother Ran mentioned is the noodles you mentioned, right?"
"Uh" Zhang Ran saw that he was wrong so quickly, and couldn't help but curse Sankui inwardly, "Idiot!"
"Haha~" Then, he turned his head and laughed, gave a thumbs up, and praised Zhang Erniu: "Brother is so smart! You can tell at a glance! Yes, the business I am talking about is noodles and steamed buns!"
