Zhao Chen couldn’t paint in this life, but he spent money on painting tools that were not cheap.

Chen Jiu was suddenly distracted, and no longer felt that buying brocades for wedding clothes was expensive, and instead wondered what Zhao Chen would do for those things that he didn’t need.

After Zhao Chen entered the space, seeing him staring at the set of painting tools, he couldn’t help but laugh, rubbed his head and said: “Xiao Jiu don’t worry, these will not be wasted. I can’t paint, but you will!”

“Me?” Chen Jiu was shocked.

When did he paint, why didn’t he know?

“If you don’t believe me, try it out.” Zhao Chen smiled and laid out the painting tools one by one, adjusted the paint, spread the rice paper, and handed him the brush specially used for painting.

“But I really won’t.” Chen Jiu panicked and refused to accept the brush.

“Xiao Jiu, believe me, you really will.” Zhao Chen helplessly, put the brush in his hand and whispered softly, “Xiao Jiu, you try first, okay?”

“but……”

“No, but Xiao Jiu, even if he paints, I don’t blame you if he doesn’t paint well. Just treat me as a gift, okay?” Zhao Chen looked into his eyes and asked.

The look of expectation written in the eyes of the sweetheart made Chen Jiu unable to say rejection.

After a while, he pursed his lips and said, “Well, then I can’t paint well, don’t dislike it.”

“Don’t worry, Xiao Jiu, I don’t have time to like it, how can I dislike it?” Zhao Chen bowed his head and kissed his face. “No matter what Xiao Jiu draws, I will like it very much. After all, Xiao Jiu gave it.”

Chen Jiu felt tight.

Not only was he not comforted, but he became even more nervous.

Speaking of which, Zhao Chen gave him a lot of things, but he hasn’t given him a present seriously.

Although I don’t know why Zhao Chen thinks he can paint, since this is the first time Zhao Chen has asked him for a gift, he must paint seriously.

When Zhao Chen saw him getting serious, he smiled and said, “It’s getting late. I have to go back to Shuilian Village with some shopping, so I’ll go out first. You can paint slowly here.”

Chen Jiu nodded.

This person is not watching, he is not so nervous yet.

Zhao Chen rubbed his head again to show encouragement, and then went out shopping.

Because there are a few more future subordinates, all he wants to buy next are quilt mats, rice noodles, meat and eggs, dishes and other things. After buying them, he hired an ox cart to bring him back and the goods.

After getting in the bullock cart, he rubbed his arms that were a little sour from holding things, and felt that it was important to have his own cart.

But these years, Madu is a strategic material, very expensive, and even in the small place he just bought in the county, there is no place to put the carriage, so he can only put it aside for the time being.

When I make more money, I’ll change to a big house.

More than half an hour later, the ox cart arrived at the entrance of Shuilian Village.

Chen Fu, Li Wu, Sun Jin’s master and servant, and those little beggars should have been bored waiting, their eyes lit up when they saw him come back.

Especially those little beggars, seeing the bamboo mat and quilt on the ox cart, their eyes seem to be shining.

Chen Guangren often had to carry firewood from Li Wu’s house to the county. The bullock cart could be driven there directly, so Zhao Chen did not get out of the bullock cart, but let Chen Fu and Li Wu lead the way and rode the bullock cart to Li’s house.

Although Sun Jin’s master servant and a few little beggars had thought that Zhao Chen might not be a rich man with a lot of money they thought when they were waiting at the entrance of the village, they really stopped in front of a house that seemed to fall at any time. , Still some did not react.

I thought it was a landlord, but turned out to be just an ordinary farmer?

Zhao Chen saw their surprise and said indifferently: “The new house has not yet begun to be built. You will be here for a few days first, and then move to the place after the new house is built.”

It turned out to be so.

Master Sun Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought it was difficult to be a servant once I was down, and I had to start from scratch with my master.

The little beggars are simply happy. They used to sleep outside at night. The conditions are much worse than this house. If there is a new house in the future, it would be great!

Zhao Chen looked at the shy smiles on the children’s faces, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He jumped out of the ox cart, paid the employment fee, let others enter the house and waited, and asked Chen Fu and Li Wu to come and help move the things into the house one by one, and when the ox cart drove away, he turned and entered the house.

When the people in the room saw him coming in, they all looked at him.

Zhao Chen didn’t say much, and asked Gao Jia directly: “Gao Jia, you can cook, right?”

Gao Jia was taken aback, then nodded: “Yes, son.”

“Then wait for you to cook.” Zhao Chen said, and said to Sun Jin, “Sun Jin, take a rest first, and then arrange things for you when you get better.”

Sun Jin was taken aback, and then thanked her with gratitude.

Zhao Chen said to several beggars again: “Do you know how much money a cook can have in a month in a restaurant?”

The little beggars shook their heads.

Not to mention entering the restaurant, even if you enter the county town, you will soon be driven out by beggars older than them. They can only beg outside the county town. If they can’t beg for anything, they will find anything they can find to eat. Where can they know this?

“Ordinary restaurants can cost one or two dollars, and good restaurants can be two, three, two, or even more, depending on how good their craftsmanship is.”

Zhao Chen looked at their shocked eyes and asked, “Do you know how much money the shopkeeper can have?”

Before the children could answer, he said again: “It depends on whether it is the restaurant he owns or he is the shopkeeper of the restaurant under someone else’s name. I will tell you more about this later. You only need to know whether it’s the cook or the shopkeeper. , All have a skill. So don’t think that Sun Jin Gaojia’s work is different from yours. When you have a skill you can use, you can make a request with me. Before that, you all have to be obedient. Do you know?”

The little beggars were young and ignorant, and their older eyes lit up.

This means, does this person teach them?

They wanted to ask clearly, but looking at Zhao Chen’s stern face, they didn’t dare to speak, so they just nodded obediently.

Seeing that it’s getting dark, Zhao Chen didn’t say any more. He asked Li Wu to take out brooms, buckets, rags and the like, and said to a few beggars: “You first clean the house with Fu’er Xiaowu. I’ll take Gao Jia to do it. For meals, I hope you can clean up here before eating. Don’t be lazy, don’t bully others and let others do what you should do. You can say that you are unwell, but don’t pretend to be sick. I am a doctor. I can see it and understand. Right?”

“Understood!”

Everyone is scared of being hungry. Whenever you hear something to eat, where can you be lazy?

They all rushed to get the tools at the first time, and they cleaned up under the guidance of Chen Fu and Li Wu.

Zhao Chen turned and took Gao Jia into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

All the food was moved to the kitchen. Zhao Chen opened the bag with the food and asked, “What kind of food will you do?”

“I can cook home-cooked dishes.” Gao Jia gave a few examples of dishes and said, “My dad used to be the chef of Sun’s Mansion. I was going to take over my dad’s position, so I learned to cook a lot of dishes.”

Zhao Chen nodded, “Okay, then in the next few days, you will be responsible for cooking for a few children.”

Gao Jia nodded.

It was not early, and Zhao Chen didn’t let him cook by himself, and he also helped in the kitchen.

Gao Jia was surprised to see that he could cook, but when he thought about his living in this village, he felt normal again.

After Zhao Chen decided to accept them, he also gave him and Sun Jin three buns.

After Sun Jin ate two, he couldn’t eat it anymore, Gao Jia ate the remaining one. Now he has the strength to cook very smoothly.

Zhao Chen knew that he was a frequent cooker by watching his movements, so he just hit the floor and let Gao Jia come to cook and stir fry.

Gao Jia probably won the truth from his father who was a cook in the Sun’s Mansion, and he cooked pretty good food.

It didn’t take long for the aroma of the food to float out, and the little beggars became more energetic.

Because of the large number of people, the stomachs of these people who just received can’t bear the big fish and meat all at once. Zhao Chen didn’t let Gao Jia cook too finely for dinner. He cooked a big pot of porridge, heated the steamed buns bought from the county, and fried them. Two meat and vegetable dishes and one green vegetable are enough.

Just like this, Gao Jia was taken aback.

This young man is better than the masters of many big families, and this meat doesn’t hurt at all.

Afraid of everyone competing, Zhao Chen and Gao Jia divided the food.

Each person has a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun, and a small bowl of vegetables.

After everyone cleaned up, Zhao Chen asked them to wash their hands before they could eat.

Seeing the food distributed to everyone, Sun Jin’s master and servant were okay. After all, it was from a big family. Although a little surprised, it didn’t show it. Those little beggars saw the meat, but their eyes were green, and they immediately gobbled up.

These children started begging at a very young age. Over the years, the chopsticks could no longer be used. They just grabbed the porridge directly with their hands, just like drinking water.

Zhao Chen frowned. According to their way of eating, if the porridge is hot, the mouth will be burned.

He didn’t say much when he was eating, and he called people together after everyone had finished eating.

“Tell me your names first.” Zhao Chen said.

Children look at me, I look at you, and then one after another speaks:

“Dog!”

“Black Egg!”

“Aniu!”

“Mava!”

“Little Flower!”

Tugou, Aniu, and Mawa are boys, Heidan is a brother, and Xiaohua is a girl.

These children look very ordinary, especially the black eggs and small flowers. If they are good-looking, they might have been taken to some places by people.

Zhao Chen was speechless for a while, and only asked their age after a while.

Only the oldest, fourteen-year-old dog remembers his age and birth date, but other children can’t remember it. The youngest girl, even the name Xiao Hua, is her own.

Zhao Chen sighed secretly, his tone softened, and said, “My surname is Zhao, and you will be called Master from now on. From tomorrow I will ask you to teach you to read and read. When you learn, if you want to change your name, you will tell the teacher. , I will apply for your identity documents after the corrections are made.”

The identity document is equivalent to an ID card, which is used to prove identity at this time.

An identity document can be used to purchase land, and many big cities also require identity documents to enter the city.
