Chapter 603 Found the craftsman
Jiang Liuyu's last memory was that Ruan Xiangjun poured wine for him, spinning around him, and the beakers and swallows surrounded him, making him feel so happy.
When I woke up again, I was already in the inn.
He rubbed his temples, sneezed again, and asked, "Where is the person!"
Wu Yang quickly served him carefully, brought warm tea soup, and held a wet towel. Jiang Liuxiu first drank a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth, spit it in the spittoon at his feet, took the towel handed over by Wu Yang, wiped his face, and finally woke up a little.
"When is it?" he asked lazily.
Wu Yang replied: "It's noon, my son."
Although it was already noon, Jiang Liuyu was not at all uncomfortable. He was used to getting up at this time. He asked, "Chaoshi... Instruct the kitchen..." He paused again and again, and asked, "Where is Wang Lucao and Shen Kang?"
Wu Yang said: "The two young men left early in the morning and said they were going to do business."
"What?" Jiang Liuyi stood up and asked, "They walked together? Didn't call me?"
Wu Yang was about to explain, but Jiang Liuyu said in silence: "It's too much. Humph, I don't even call you when I go out to play! Let's see how they explain when they come back!"
Taking advantage of Jiang Liuyu's breath, Wu Yang explained: "The two young masters walked in front of each other. I don't know what Mr. Wang is doing to the younger one, but Mr. Shen went to find craftsmen."
When Jiang Liuyu heard this, he felt a little relieved and said, "Okay, waiter, let's go out to eat."
Wu Yang responded with a smile, and was even more happy. He finally came to Suzhou Prefecture, but he could go out for a walk. To be honest, he has not yet had a good walk for Suzhou Prefecture!
He is happy to be such an eye-opening thing!
Let’s not talk about Jiang Liuyu for now. Shen Kang went out early in the morning and went to the yamen with Liu Shu and Huang Sanyuan. After completing the house deed and land deeds, he finally bought the deserted house by the lake.
Huang Sanyuan received a reward of two taels of silver from Shen Kang, which was because his heart was full of flowers. He only spent two cents of silver in a teahouse for a month. The reason why he chose this job was because in addition to the monthly silver, he could also earn some broken tea and unsold snacks for his family to eat.
Now that he meets Shen Kang, the generous master, he is naturally happy.
Walking on the road, he kept introducing the local situation in Suzhou Prefecture: "Young Master, there are few beggars in our Suzhou Prefecture. In our Suzhou Prefecture, we have hands and feet. As long as we are willing to move, we can fill our stomachs and not get hungry. What do these ordinary people want? That is, we only have enough food and clothing, there is a place to stand underneath, and there is a tiles covering our bodies, right?"
Shen Kang nodded with a smile.
Seeing Shen Kang smiling, Huang Sanyuan knew that he loved to listen to these things, and then continued: "Our Suzhou Prefecture goes out to have a river channel, which is well-connected. If you like to walk, you will walk on small bridges like us, and don't like to walk? Then take a boat, hahaha. It's not just Yangzhou, the country of fish and rice, but our Suzhou Prefecture is not a slight difference."
No matter which one is better or worse than Suzhou or Yangzhou, Huang Sanyuan said it all, and he was full of pride in his hometown. The people love their hometown so much. This place is at least in peace and contentment, right?
Beside the bridge, an old couple was guarding a cake stall. There were no customers on the small stall. In the morning, frost fell, and the two old men's hair and eyebrows were covered with frost and white, and they were squatting at the bridge.
The old man didn't bother to be cold. While frying the cake, he cheerfully shouted in the local dialect: "Cake cakes! Hot cakes! Two pieces of cakes per pen. The boy ate the laughter princess, and the father-in-law ate it every year!"
Huang Sanyuan ran over and handed over the two taels of silver that Chen Kang gave to the old man. The old man and the old woman were very happy, looked at Chen Kang repeatedly, bent down and bowed.
How dare Chen Kang accept the gift from others? He quickly bowed his hand to return the gift.
The old woman picked up the cakes from the stall and handed them to Huang Sanyuan. Huang Sanyuan pushed them a few times, but couldn't persuade the old man, so she had to take them and ran back.
Huang Sanyuan felt a little embarrassed and said, "Young Master, my parents are grateful to you and want to give you cakes... If you don't like it, I'll send it back to them."
Chen Kang saw that the old couple was really real. He forced Huang Sanyuan to give three cakes, took them, handed them to Wei Wubai and Liu Shu, and said with a smile: "Let's have a meal that is not given to money for a long time, hahahaha."
Both of them were laughing. Wei Wubai didn't care about the heat and cold. He opened his mouth and bit it. The thing was so hot that it was hot that it was unwilling to spit it out. He swallowed it whole in accordance with the principle of cherishing food.
Chen Kang said with a smile: "Thank you, Lingzun Lingtang." As he said that, he started to eat it very sweetly.
The old couple in the distance looked at Chen Kang's food, and finally felt a slaughter in their hearts, hoping that Chen Kang would take care of Huang Sanyuan for the sake of the cake.
After eating Huang's cakes, Chen Kang followed Huang Sanyuan to find Xihouluo Lane.
I had heard Huang Sanyuan talk about it long ago. When the strange objects were popular, craftsmen here were visiting in a constant stream every day, but since the rise of silk fabrics, the place has gradually become deserted. If it were not for the locals in Suzhou Prefecture, they would not have found it no matter what.
The alley was cramped and dark and damp. Chen Kang walked in it and even felt that it was difficult for two people to walk side by side. Huang Sanyuan walked in front, and the roads on both sides were dilapidated doors. Until he walked outside a family named Fu, Huang Sanyuan smiled and said, "This Mr. Fu is over 70 years old, but his skills are really good. I asked my father and my father told me that he didn't know him."
Chen Kang smiled and went up to knock on the door, "Dangdang" three times, and a question came from inside: "Who is it!"
The man who came to open the door was a middle-aged man. He looked honest and dressed in an outstanding manner. When he opened the door, he looked at Chen Kang and asked in a kind tone: "Who are you looking for?"
Chen Kang couldn't understand, so he looked at Huang Sanyuan.
Huang Sanyuan quickly explained, and then replied to the man: "This young master's surname is Chen. He came from Runing Mansion. He wanted to make a strange and lewd weapon. He couldn't find a safe person. He came here to visit Mr. Fu."
When the man heard this, he nodded and smiled and welcomed Chen Kang into the door.
Huang Sanyuan said: "Young master, his name is Fu Daming. He is the third son of Mr. Fu. The eldest son and second son both went to work as silk weaving craftsmen. Only the third son is still here to stay and learn craftsmanship from Mr. Fu."
Chen Kang nodded, and understood the situation. After waiting in the narrow and dark front hall for a while, Fu Daming helped Mr. Fu walk out of the door and sat aside.
Chen Kang stood up to salute, but the old man dared not accept it and turned his body halfway.
