Chapter 159 The First Floor in the World
"I originally planned to wait for the rice paper to be finished before I went to Lu Gong to ask for a marriage. Since I have mentioned this matter today, I can just ask Miss Ji'er and Miss Susu for their opinions in advance." Zhou Ji took a step back and waved his sleeves , cupped his hands in front of him and said, "I want to marry the two of you as a regular wife and a peaceful wife. I wonder if your sisters are willing to marry me?"
Lu Zhi and Su Su were taken aback by Zhou Ji's sudden action, but after being frightened, their hearts were already filled with joy.
Susu suddenly thought of something in her heart, and hesitated, "Isn't the young master already married and has a family?"
"That's true." Zhou Ji slightly straightened his face, his eyes were deep, and there was a bit of nostalgia, "I have been with my wife for many years, and I have spent the last part of my life with her. If the two girls mind this matter, then"
Before Zhou Ji could speak, Su Su hurriedly interrupted, "I don't mind~!"
Hearing about the death of Zhou Ji's wife, she should have felt pity, but Susu was still feeling sorry for Zhou Ji, and she was very shamefully happy.
With her pure and kind character, it shouldn't be like this, but who can be truly selfless when it comes to emotional matters?
Lu Zhi didn't expect her sister to be so bold, so she subconsciously turned her head and looked over.
Noticing the gaze cast by Zhou Ji and her sister, Susu blushed with a blushing 'ah~', rubbed her clothes with her green fingers, lowered her head, and explained in a sticky manner, "I mean, as long as you can I'm willing to do anything by being by your side."
Lu Zhi looked at his sister with mixed feelings.
As a sister, how could she not see Susu's affection for Zhou Ji?
Since childhood, Susu had little contact with outside men at home. When she was in a catastrophe, she was rescued by the hero Zhou Ji.
In the carriage, Lu Zhi deliberately stated the type of man he liked, in fact, it was to declare sovereignty in advance and dispel Susu's idea of fighting.
This sense of crisis from her younger sister even made her think of marrying Susu as soon as possible.
However, what she didn't expect was that this handsome and graceful 'fairy' son was already married.
This made her original tricks a joke.
What is the declaration of sovereignty in advance, what is the marriage of Susu in advance.
The potential competitor has turned into a good sister who loves each other. These days, Lu Zhi feels regretful, and even feels sorry for Susu.
Through thoughts, Lu Zhi gently held Susu's soft hand, her warm palm and the back of her hand pressed together, and the deep connection from the source of blood made her eyes gradually soften.
Turning around to look at Zhou Ji, Lu Zhi's eyes were shining like water, as if joking, but with a little temper, he said, "Young master is too greedy, this is because we sisters want our sisters to follow the example of Ehuang and Nvying, and the two girls serve together. Husband?"
Uh. It's really a bit scumbag to say that.
Zhou Ji, who has experienced several worlds, deeply understands one thing, that emotional matters cannot be hesitated or delayed.
He doesn't want to see Susu fall in love with the heartless Yi Xiaochuan like in the original.
Finally, I gave everything I had in exchange for Yi Xiaochuan being moved for half an episode.
But after destroying this matter, you can’t ignore her and let her marry someone she may have never met before under the background of the Qin Dynasty.
Chinese cabbage will be humiliated by pigs anyway, why can't it be cheaper for yourself?
Since you have decided to be a scumbag, you should make it clear.
It can be seen that although Lu Zhi has a little temper, he didn't really resist this matter.
Zhou Ji pretended to be sorry and said, "If Pheasant doesn't want to, then I have no choice but to marry Susu alone."
After finishing speaking, Susu's Rou Yi held Susu's hand, Susu's heart skipped a beat. Although her body was a little stiff, she didn't dodge at all, allowing Zhou Ji to gently hold her tightly.
"Who says I don't want to?" Lu Zhi pouted, took a step forward and took Zhou Ji's other hand, and muttered, "My sister is pure and kind, I have to protect her by the side, lest she marry and be bullied by you. "
Zhou Ji laughed loudly when he heard the words, he held Lu Zhi's Rou Yi tightly behind his back, and walked towards Lu's mansion, holding the hands of the two of them.
Knowing that Zhou Ji wanted to marry his two daughters, Lu Gong inevitably felt a little complicated. He had naturally heard the allusion of Ehuang Nvying, and he had already seen Lu Zhi's affection for Zhou Ji. It's okay to have one, but if you have another little daughter as a father, no matter how you think about it, you will feel at a disadvantage.
Businessmen naturally have to use the methods in the business field to solve it. Although Zhou Ji doesn't like the operation of "selling his daughter", he also understands that Lu Gong admires Wen Xinhou the most. We must follow the example of Lu Buwei and regard his two daughters as "rare goods to live in".
Lv Zhi and Su Su saw that their father was still a little hesitant, and they were anxious, so they wanted to persuade them, but they were stopped before they could speak.
"Mr. Lu, have you ever seen this thing?"
Zhou Ji took out the first batch of rice paper he demonstrated for the craftsmen from his sleeve, and spread it out in front of Lu Gong.
Gong Lu looked suspiciously at the rice paper, which was as white as snow and thinner than silk, and looked up at Zhou Ji, who saw Zhou Ji handing him a brush and beckoning him to write on the paper.
The ink fell, leaving a black spot on the paper. Instead of taking the pen, Mr. Lu lifted the paper and held it up high, staring at the ink stain on the frozen paper in a daze.
Zhou Ji smiled lightly, put down the brush, introduced the purpose and cost of Xuan paper to Lu Gong, and promised to give Lu Gong the already built paper workshop as a betrothal gift, so that Lu Gong can make a name for himself in the literary world.
Grand Lu held the rice paper tightly, overjoyed.
He used to win over Zhou Ji because of Zhou Ji's "superior martial arts", but now he has rice paper, an artifact that can change the world, let alone two daughters, even if Zhou Ji wanted all the female relatives in his house, he would not hesitate. Offered without hesitation.
Back in the courtyard, Lu Zhi said with a distressed face, "Zhou Lang, you just transferred the paper mill to your father, isn't it a little too impulsive."
Susu nodded repeatedly. A few days ago, she and Lu Zhi often went to the paper workshop to find Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji also introduced the papermaking process to them without reservation. She naturally knew that the paper workshop was absolutely unimaginable. Money-making business.
Zhou Ji gave such an important thing to the Lu family easily, Susu was very moved.
"You haven't married yet, and your elbow is turning towards me?" Zhou Ji poured a glass of water and handed it to Lu Zhi, and then poured another glass.
"So what?" Zhou Ji put down the kettle and looked at the two of them, "In my opinion, these are not important."
Lu Zhi asked anxiously, "It's not important, what's important?"
"you."
Lu Zhi's tone faltered, his heartstrings seemed to be plucked suddenly, and the eyes looking at Zhou Ji were also moved with inseparable emotions.
Susu's eyes were filled with tears, she looked at Zhou Ji in a dazed way, and was obviously touched by his words.
Now that the marriage has been arranged, Zhou Ji's side will start to get busy in the next period of time.
On the one hand, he has to hand over the papermaking process to Lu Gong, and on the other hand, he has to find a mansion in Pei County and decorate a new house.
After a busy half a month, the news of Lu Gong marrying a daughter gradually spread throughout Pei County and surrounding counties.
You know, since the establishment of the private school, Duke Lu’s reputation has spread far and wide among the people. Countless merchants and gentry in Peixian County itself and surrounding counties have rushed to send their children to study, and the Xuan paper that has been circulated today has pushed his reputation even further. To the extreme.
It is such a "everyone" who actually married his daughter to an unknown ordinary person, and even married two daughters to one husband. Such a major event naturally surprised everyone.
After getting married, there are countless celebrities who come to Zhou Manor to visit every day. Some want to see how ordinary this ordinary person who married two daughters is, and some want to see the sisters of the Lu family in the name of visiting Zhou Ji. appearance.
Zhou Ji had asked people to set up a wooden sign to thank guests behind closed doors, but there were still people watching from time to time outside the mansion. Zhou Ji saw that Lu Zhi and Su Su were a little overwhelmed, so he proposed to go north for a trip, and the destination was Xianyang. .
Lu Zhi clapped his hands and applauded. Although Susu didn't like to go out, seeing that her husband and sister had agreed, she had no choice but to nod along.
Since handing over the paper workshop to the Lu family, Zhou Ji did not come up with small inventions such as distilled wine and glass. Instead, he found someone to reclaim a good field and plant some good seeds he brought from the world of his son-in-law.
Because of going out at this moment, some crops in the field are not yet mature, so Zhou Ji only needs to bring the finished materials that have been processed first, and lead Lu Zhi and Susu out of the city to the north.
At noon this day, the convoy passed by a small town to rest. Zhou Ji looked at the overcrowded restaurant in the distance, and just smiled, "Didn't the pheasant always wonder what I want to grow such a big spice?"
Lu Zhi followed Zhou Ji's gaze, covered his mouth and said with a sneer, "Sister-in-law is not going to open a restaurant, is he?"
"My pheasant is really smart~" Zhou Ji stretched out his hand and patted the top of Lu's pheasant. Lu's pheasant stooped to dodge behind Susu, and pushed his younger sister in front of Zhou Ji.
"Sister~" Susu pursed her mouth and glared at Lu Zhi, seemingly angry, but her eyes were full of smiles.
Since getting married, it seems that she has been influenced by Zhou Ji and Lu Zhi, and the smile on her face has gradually increased. Although she is still a little shy, at least she is no longer as dull and gloomy as she was at the beginning.
The three of them played around for a while, Zhou Ji took out a few big coins and handed them to the team servants, and said with a chuckle, "Everyone is tired after walking all morning, right? Let's go eat something first, take a rest and then go on the road in the afternoon."
Having been together for nearly a month, these servants know that Zhou Jiren is kind and kind, and they are very grateful for it.
Zhou Ji didn't take it seriously, called Lu Zhi and Su Su, and walked towards the restaurant not far away.
Lu Zhi led Susu's Rou Yi and followed Zhou Ji, looking around curiously, "I didn't expect such a remote town to have such a good cook, both the dishes and the dishes are very unique. Is it a bit like the 'fried vegetables' that Xianggong once cooked for us?"
"Of course, this is our appointed chef on the first floor of the world!" Zhou Ji turned back and smiled proudly.
"The number one building in the world? What is that?" Lu Zhi asked curiously.
Zhou Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "It's the restaurant we are about to open."
"Xianggong really intends to open a restaurant?" Susu looked around and couldn't help but said.
"I do have this plan." Zhou Ji nodded slightly and said with a straight face.
The guy next to him stepped forward to greet him and said, "What do you three guests want to eat? Our cooks are skilled and can cook anything."
"Can you really do anything?" Lu Zhi asked with great interest.
The guy said confidently, "Our chef here is famous for miles around, as long as you can name the dishes, he can cook them."
Zhou Ji smiled and said, "You ask him to make me a tomato scrambled egg, a fish-flavored shredded pork, and a mapo tofu."
"Tomato? Scrambled eggs? Fragrant fish? Shredded pork? Mapo tofu?" The smile on the guy's face froze on the spot. If it wasn't for Zhou Ji's exquisite costume and the queue outside the store, he would have thought that Zhou Ji It's here to make trouble on purpose.
Zhou Ji gave the man a copper coin, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just go and talk to him, he will understand."
The clerk quietly put the money into his pocket, ran to the back kitchen, and complained to Gao Yao, who had loose hair and unkempt face, "Chef, a customer came outside to make things difficult, and I didn't even hear about the number of dishes ordered." dishes."
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, as long as you can pay extra, there is no dish I can't cook." Gao Yao skillfully manipulated the spoon without looking back, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that he was accustomed to.
The man was also very confident in Gao Yao's craftsmanship, and immediately said, "The man said he wanted to order tomato scrambled eggs, fish-flavored shredded pork, and mochi tofu? Do you think you can make it?"
"What did you just say?" Gao Yao turned around abruptly, brushed away his fluffy and messy hair, stepped forward, leaned forward and asked, "Say it again!"
The guy was taken aback by Gao Yao’s sudden action, looked at the chef whose face was almost on his body, and repeated weakly, “Tomato scrambled eggs. Fish flavor”
"Where is the person who ordered the food?" Gao Yao immediately interrupted the waiter's repetition and said excitedly.
"It's in the hall." The man pointed to the outside, and before he could say anything, Gao ran out like he was going crazy.
"Hey! Chef, the dishes in the pot!" The man stretched out his hand to call Gao Yao back, but he was already gone.
"Who ordered tomato scrambled eggs? Who ordered tomato scrambled eggs??"
In the hall, Zhou Ji was still talking with Lu Zhisusu, when suddenly he heard an anxious and excited voice coming from the side, he turned his head and saw a man with disheveled hair like a lunatic and dressed in coarse cloth standing in the store. shouted loudly.
Susu was taken aback by the person in front of her, and shrank subconsciously towards Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji patted Susu's Rouyi lightly, comforted her, and then raised her head and said, "It's me."
"It's you. It's you." Gao Yao stared at Zhou Ji, didn't even see the road clearly, tripped over a bench and almost fell, staggered and squeezed to Zhou Ji's desk, excitedly said, "This There shouldn’t be tomatoes, fish-flavored shredded pork and mapo tofu in this era, how did you know these dishes!!”
