Chapter 257
Without making them wait for too long, Lu Zhongshou quickly saw the arrival of two of the craftsmen, hurriedly greeted them and sent them to the private seat politely.

Then the remaining four came soon, and entered the private seat together with Lu Zhongshou. Fortunately, the table sitting at the elegant table was relatively large, otherwise these people might not be able to sit down.

The very winking little second brother saw that everyone was here, and hurriedly poured tea for the new guest officer, and then prepared to start serving dishes under Lu Zhongshou's signal.

Two jugs of wine and two snacks were served first, and Lu Zhongshou greeted everyone to have snacks first.

It's really hard for Lu Zhong to guard, and the people he meets usually compliment and take care of him a lot, but now he wants to play the job of the second brother and take care of everyone.

"Come here, everyone, you are welcome, have some snacks first." Lu Zhongshou used the serving chopsticks to put a piece of snacks in everyone's bowls.

The big guys looked at the dim sum in the bowl and smiled kindly, and finally ate it under Lu Zhongshou's urging.

Wen Gu took a symbolic bite and stopped moving his chopsticks. All the dim sum he ate was sent by his grandfather Ai's cronies, or the high-quality dim sum that Butler Xi went to the county to bring back.

The dim sum in the restaurant is really uncomfortable, with a little bit of bitterness. When making it, low-grade sugar should be used, so the taste is so different.

Lu Zhongshou took a bite out of Wen Gu and put it down, but he didn't take it seriously. It's normal for the child not to eat it, and it's abnormal if he eats it.

Xiao Qi ate it bite by bite. Although the taste was not good, it was made with refined grains. It was a rare food in the town or in the countryside.

This is a good habit she has developed in the last days. As long as it is food, Xiao Qi will cherish it very much, and there is no such thing as a picky eater.

The little girl ate so deliciously that Wen Gu, who was sitting next to Xiaoqi, suddenly had the illusion that the dim sum in front of him actually tasted very good.

This illusion made Wen Gu pick up the chopsticks to pick up the dessert and take another bite. Of course it still tasted bitter and sweet, but under the influence of the little girl, he finished eating a piece of dessert without realizing it.

Butler Xi was stunned as he watched. He had already finished the dim sum in Steward Xi's bowl. He knew the taste of the dim sum well, but he did not expect that the little master, who was always picky about eating, would finish it.

While eating snacks, no one noticed that the old man sitting next to Xiao Qi occasionally looked at Wen Gu thoughtfully.

The old man had only heard about Wen Gu before, and knew that he came from outside to cultivate, but he had only heard about it, but never met him.

Seeing Wen Gu's deja vu face this time reminded the old man of long-standing memories in his mind. The same surname is Wen, but also has a similar appearance. Could this child be the Wen family member he thought of?This is also the reason why the old man is not calm.

The two plates of dim sum were quickly cleaned up by Lu Zhongshou, and they were put into the bowls of several craftsmen. However, except for the first piece, these people did not move their mouths in the other bowls, but put them carefully. By the side.

When Lu Zhongshou greeted everyone and finished drinking another cup of tea, the dishes finally came out.

The portions of the dishes are relatively solid, a large portion of preserved vegetables and braised pork, a bowl of old duck eight-treasure soup, a plate of chicken stewed mushrooms, and a portion of sweet and sour fish, a bit of delicate stir-fry.

Several craftsmen looked at the dishes in front of them, and couldn't help swallowing a few times. Any of these dishes were brought to their homes to be eaten during the Chinese New Year. Where can they usually be eaten?
It is really a rich family, and it really is unusual to make a move. Not only did they give them such a high salary, but also invited them to eat such delicious food. At first, they were still a little hesitant, but when they saw the food, those hesitation were thrown out of the sky.

When Lu Zhongshou saw that the dishes were all served, he winked at Butler Xi, which meant that it was time for him to serve.

Steward Xi received Master Lu's message, and turned to see his master nodding to him, so he stood up and picked up the jug beside him to fill up the wine for these craftsmen one after another.

"Hello masters! I am the housekeeper of the Wen family. Thank you for your hard work in coming to "One Restaurant". Come on, let me offer you a toast first,"

These people also stood up, and under the respect of Butler Xi, the craftsmen who were still familiar with each other looked at each other for a while, and finally picked up the wine glasses on the table and drank.

Butler Xi laughed when he saw this, "Come, come, everyone, eat your food quickly, such good food can't be wasted."

The wine had already been drunk, so there was nothing to be pretentious about, so these people gradually let go, picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

They are not willing to eat such good dishes on weekdays. They are all farmers who are used to hard times, so they treat it as a way to make up for themselves before going to work.

After all, there are too many legends about the mountain temple, which are too scary. There are various versions.

Five hundred cash a day. You must know that they usually build a house at most fifty cash a day. It takes more than one or two taels of silver after a month of work. Besides, it takes less than a month to build a house.

The temple in Xiushan Village will take a few days if it is not repaired, which is worth their wages for several months. To be honest, they don’t work every month. The price really makes them very excited, so they can’t hold back the pain in their hearts. Fear took the job and came to the town to sign the contract.

The meal was finished amidst the hospitality of Butler Xi and Lu Zhongshou. There were hardly any dishes left on the table, and most of them were eaten by these people. It was time for this big man to work hard. It is a big deal to have such a big meal. very normal.

It was almost as if Wen Gu didn't move his chopsticks much, but just drank a bowl of warm soup that Butler Wen had served in advance.

Xiao Qi also just ate the dish in front of him, and picked up a lot for his grandfather by the way, Xiao Qi is really not too greedy for meat.

Soon, at Lu Zhongshou's request, the table was cleaned up by the younger brother, and a pot of tea and some snacks were put on again.

After drinking a cup of tea, the few cups of wine he drank before slowly recovered, and Lu Zhongshou took out a few contracts that he had prepared before and put them on the table.

Some of these master craftsmen can read a few words, and sometimes they have to sign a contract when they work around. If they really don't know all the big characters, they will be easily cheated.

Under everyone's gaze, a middle-aged man surnamed Du with a beard and a rough appearance picked up one of the contracts and looked at it.

The contract is indeed as agreed before, the salary is [-] Wen per day after the construction period is over, and the daily payment is [-] Wen per day without meals, but it is specifically mentioned that this matter needs to be kept confidential. No rumors are allowed, and those who break the contract must pay liquidated damages...

The man surnamed Du narrated the contents of the contract with his colleagues present one by one. Everyone basically had no opinion on the contract, and even were a little surprised.

Yesterday, I didn’t mention that there is still five cents before meals every day. After a few days, it’s not like there are dozens of cents more, and I can cut some meat for the family to taste.

As for the construction of the Temple of the Mountain, some people are a little puzzled about this point. Generally, when encountering such things, I hope that the more people know about it, the better?This family is too low-key, the man surnamed Du also asked this question.

Steward Xi quickly helped them clear up their doubts, saying that this prayer is only useful if done in secret, and if it is known everywhere, this prayer is meaningless, which is why this clause was added to the contract .

When these people think about it, it is also the same reason. Those who preach it all know it, so can the gods still accept this kind of love?Isn't that creating momentum for themselves?The meaning of this prayer is really gone.
