Chapter 159 Shaving
A large plate of braised pork, a fish, pork belly with sauerkraut and green vegetables, a plate of cold preserved eggs, mushroom and black fungus meat sauce, and a large bone stewed potato soup.
When the seven people who had just returned from the meal saw this, their mouths watered.
Especially Mr. Tai, he had smelled the fragrance a long time ago, and it was so fragrant that he couldn't move.
He has been lingering at the kitchen door.
"Everyone, please sit down and eat." Wang Ronghua served the last dish and asked everyone to eat quickly.
Several of them were a little hesitant to sit down, after all, they were bought servants.
But Mr. Tai has no such awareness at all.
As soon as he heard Wang Ronghua say it was time to eat, he immediately picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and started picking up the food.
The first thing I ate was the braised pork.
After eating, he looked at Wang Ronghua and said, "It's delicious!"
This was the first serious sentence he said to Wang Ronghua, which was an affirmation of her cooking skills.
Wang Ronghua was a little flattered.
He smiled and nodded: "If you like it, eat more."
After seeing this scene, the others dared to start eating.
During the meal, the only sound was the sound of chewing, and no one was talking.
Wang Ronghua only started eating after feeding Zhao Shiying.
After everyone had finished their meal, Zhao Shiying took Zhao Guocheng to Mr. Tai.
"Dad, help him shave his beard." Zhao Shiying said, pointing at old man Tai's beard.
Mr. Tai was startled, and then he was a little stunned when he found out it was Zhao Shiying.
"Nannan, don't be rude. If you want me to shave someone's beard, he must agree." Zhao Guocheng squatted down and coaxed her in a low voice.
"Grandpa Tai has agreed. He wants to shave his beard." Zhao Shiying counted on her fingers and said firmly.
Mr. Tai: "......" Did he agree? When? Was it in the morning?
Zhao Guocheng: “….” This girl is really fearless like a newborn calf.
It was obvious at first glance that this old man Tai was no ordinary man, and his whole demeanor was a bit scary, but I didn't expect the little girl to be afraid at all and even had a great time playing with him.
"Well...then help me shave my beard!" Old Man Tai looked at Zhao Shiying, a little hesitant, but finally nodded.
Zhao Guocheng breathed a sigh of relief. The old man also looked strange.
When he gets serious, his aura is completely different, but when he doesn't talk, you can't tell anything, he's just an ordinary old man.
I guess he's a little crazy and his mind isn't quite right.
When I was normal, I was still a little afraid of him. The look in his eyes was not like that of a human, but a black hole.
Zhao Guocheng quickly prepared the tools, which he usually used.
You can use it immediately after washing it.
"Then you have to bear it, it might hurt a little." Zhao Guocheng was afraid that Mr. Tai couldn't bear the pain and moved around, which would cause trouble. He might even get his face scratched.
Old Man Tai looked at the razor with disdain. It was just a small thing, what could it do to him?
Zhao Shiying was also nervously watching her father helping Grandpa Tai shave his beard.
At this moment, Mrs. Sun was busy in the kitchen with Wang Ronghua. Wang Ronghua left the kitchen affairs to Mrs. Sun.
The rest of the people were not idle either. Some were chopping firewood in the yard, some were cleaning the yard, some were chasing the chickens into their roosts, and some were leading the cows into the cowshed and throwing them some grass.
Zhao Guocheng and Wang Ronghua didn't say anything about these tasks, but they all started working spontaneously.
"Be gentle~" Old Master Tai frowned. What a crappy razor! It hurts my face so much.
'Old man, please don't say anything. I've been gentle enough. If you say anything again, my hands will shake and your face will be..." Zhao Guocheng was not exaggerating. Moreover, Old Man Tai was too unstable and was always moving around.
What about that disdainful expression just now?
At this moment, he was either crying out in pain or looking at Zhao Shiying with a pitiful face.
Zhao Shiying looked at Grandpa Tai who was calling out, and then at her father whose hands were shaking a little, her face full of curiosity.
Shaving is like this?
Does shaving look better with shaking hands?
"Grandpa Tai, just bear with it. I'll blow on you later and it won't hurt." Zhao Shiying hurried to comfort him.
"Hey, blow it, it won't hurt." Old Man Tai cried out "ouch" as soon as he finished speaking.
"Do you know how to shave your beard?" Old Man Tai couldn't stand it anymore.
"Who told you to keep moving? My hands were shaking and I shaved crookedly. Fortunately, there was no bleeding." Zhao Guocheng was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. The words just blurted out. Fortunately, the skin was not broken. It was a blessing in disguise.
"You'd better go away. I'll do it myself." Old Master Tai didn't want to endure it anymore. It was painful and uncomfortable, so he might as well do it himself.
So the razor was immediately transferred from Zhao Guocheng's hand to Mr. Tai's hand.
Zhao Guocheng was nervous, even more nervous than when he was shaving his beard.
This crazy old man should stop shaving his face.
But surprisingly, Mr. Tai shaved off a large area of his beard in just a few strokes.
Zhao Shiying seemed quite relieved.
Mr. Tai's true face gradually revealed itself, which surprised Zhao Guocheng a little.
Mr. Tai is so young?
After shaving everything, Mr. Tai touched his chin and face.
"Bring me a basin of water." Old Man Tai looked at Zhao Guocheng standing there in a daze and said seriously.
"Oh, ok, right away." Zhao Guocheng immediately went to fetch some water, and considerately added some hot water and took out a new sweat towel.
Old Master Tai quickly made his face clear with just a few swipes.
It was washed so clean that everyone working in the yard was stunned.
"How is it?" Old Master Tai looked at Zhao Shiying a little nervously.
Zhao Shiying nodded: "Grandpa Tai, you are so young, how old are you?"
The old man really surprised everyone. No one expected that after shaving off his messy beard, he would have a strong and well-shaped face. If he smiled, his face was full of affinity. It was obvious that he was a person who had a gentle smile but was scary when angry.
Everyone was very interested in the little baby's questions.
They all looked at Mr. Tai at the same time.
"How old? I don't remember." Old Master Tai shook his head and kept muttering how old he was.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Let's not think about it anymore, Grandpa Tai. It's almost dark now. Let's go back to our room and sleep." Zhao Guocheng was afraid that the old man would think of bad things, so he stopped talking.
"Sleep? Yes, I want to sleep." Old Master Tai suddenly followed Zhao Guocheng to the workshop happily like a child, muttering about sleeping.
Everyone: '.......'
Zhao Shimin looked at her younger sister in confusion.
I don’t know what’s going on. Why did they buy this old man home? It’s bad enough that he can’t help, but I have to look after him alone. It’s like inviting an ancestor to serve me. What should I do?
It’s not that Zhao Shimin has no sympathy, but the workshop has just started and there are many things to do. Her parents went to buy people just to work.
Although she didn't quite agree and had many doubts, Zhao Shimin didn't ask any questions because she knew her younger sister must have her reasons for doing so.
Soon the rest of the people finished their work and went back to the workshop with hot water to wash up and go to bed.
"Nannan, come and take a bath. I'll wash you today so you can go to bed comfortably." Wang Ronghua smiled and tested the water temperature.
