149 Etiquette(1/2)
It's a cheating father!
On this day, the "quick walk" exercise took twice as long as the previous day.
On this day, Wu Qingchen was almost dry and explained to the people who came to inquire.
In the evening, when he returned to the cowherd's mansion, Wu Qingchen rubbed his slightly sore legs, and old William ran back to the wooden house in a hurry.
"Los...you...you..."
Even though he was not breathing, Old William asked in a hurry: "You... are looking for... to find places suitable for moving honeycombs, why... why don't you ask me?"
"I didn't look for..."
Wu Qingchen replied weakly: "I really didn't look for it, I'm just walking around casually!"
"Huh? Is that right... Um... But..."
Old William frowned, and it took him a while to test himself to understand what Wu Qingchen said: "It's not convenient to say it everywhere, right?"
"Oh, that's trouble..."
Before Wu Qingchen could answer, old William had already started to circle around the wooden house.
"What's wrong?" Wu Qingchen knew very well about the model of old William: "Did you say anything to Richard, Freeman, and Uncle Hort? Don't worry, they have helped our family so much before... I will remember... Well, Uncle Richard's house has a honeycomb, Uncle Freeman, and Uncle Hort, and I will also think of a way..."
"That's great!" Old William smiled. No matter how you look at this smile, it's very reluctant.
"There is something else?" Wu Qingchen had a bit of an ominous premonition.
"Well... Los..."
Old William grabbed his head with some embarrassment: "Have you heard of banquets?"
"Cheer?" Wu Qingchen was stunned: "Is this thing still there in Akerli Village?"
"Tsk, of course there is!" Perhaps it was because the disgusting expression on Wu Qingchen's face was too obvious, and Old William raised his voice a little.
Then he immediately lowered: "Of course, our family has never..."
"Who is having a banquet?" Wu Qingchen was a little curious.
"Of course, it's a craftsman! Who else can have a banquet besides a craftsman?" Old William looked proud and said: "Well, the one who wants to invite you this time is the brewer, Peter."
"Oh...so?" Wu Qingchen nodded: "I won't go."
"Ah? Why not go?"
"No matter who is having a banquet, it must be for the honeycomb." Wu Qingchen shook his head vigorously: "I have already said that I just walked around casually, not looking for a place suitable for moving honeycombs... I have to talk to the brewer again, it will be too troublesome."
"But...but..." Old William rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "I have agreed."
Wu Qingchen had expected this.
"That's okay, but I won't go..." Wu Qingchen gave the opportunity to Old William in person: "When the banquet, if the brewer asks, you will say, I'll have too much work tomorrow..."
"Huh?" Old William asked strangely: "We say? What do we say?"
"Tell me when you go to the banquet!"
"But..." Old William was even more surprised: "You were the only one who was invited by the brewer!"
Is there anyone treating this way?
Please one person?
Wu Qingchen was stunned again.
Old William regarded Wu Qingchen's confusion as a surprise.
"It's not bad!" He said with a blushing face: "One person, a table of food, decent food! How great..."
For a banquet, of course, it is to invite someone.
Who has so much food to invite another family to eat?
Some places are very smart, and some places are still learning Ross...
"By the way, Los..."
Thinking of this, Old William remembered some long-awaited knowledge points: "We have worked hard before, and we have never been invited to the banquet... But don't worry, I have known about the banquet for a long time... Your brothers and you don't know these things. Now it's time to tell you."

The next day, early morning.
A wooden house.
"Susan..."
One of the craftsmen in Akerli Village, the brewer asked his wife: "Are the chicken ready?"
"It was done last night." Next to the fire pit, Susan put the wheat grains into the pot: "Wash it carefully several times."
"That's good."
The brewer nodded and began to look up at the logs above his head again.
After a while, the brewer asked again: "Where are the fish, how are the fish?"
"The fish is ready, too..." Susan turned around: "Didn't you see it yesterday? Wash it with the chicken!"
"Oh, yes, yes...I'm watching." The brewer shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I've said too much..."
"Nothing." Susan said very understandingly: "Don't worry, Peter, I remember it all! Everyone in the village knows it. Loss likes clean things."
“Yes, the cleaner the better.”
Peter couldn't help but nodded, and suddenly stopped: "By the way, where is the sheep? I didn't see the sheep last night!"
"Ah! Sheep!" Susan's movement also stopped: "Sheep...I forgot!"
"Master! How can you forget?" Peter suddenly became anxious: "Didn't you tell you a long time ago? You want the most decent food! How can you have no sheep?"
"I...I..." Susan bit her lips: "I remembered it... and, yesterday yesterday, I had already gone to Maureen to borrow sheep from her... But, she was not at home, I...I forgot... Xia Yao has too many things..."
"You...you...ah!"
Peter's expression changed. Seeing his wife standing blankly beside the fire pit, Peter stomped his feet hard: "What are you waiting for? Then go now!"
"We have to prepare food now..." Susan hesitated a little.
"I'll do it! Go quickly!" Peter said loudly, "Otherwise, I'll go to Xia Shi again later, where are you going to borrow?"
Susan quickly put down the spoon and walked towards the wooden door.
"Wait a minute!"
Susan just pushed open the wooden door, and behind her, Peter asked again: "You said just now, you haven't mentioned it to Maureen yet, right?"
"Yes...I, I didn't forget it on purpose..." Susan felt more and more guilty.
"No, I'm not blaming you."
Peter shook his head vigorously: "Forget it if you didn't say it... Don't go to Maureen's house now. Go find the powder grinder first. His sheep are better!"
"Ah!" Susan was very surprised: "The sheep from the Yvesli family? I remember... the sheep from the Yvesli family seems to be only two years old! Will he be willing to lend it?"
"How can I know if I don't ask? Let me tell Yvesley if he is willing to borrow, and I will give him a glass of wine when he gets it... no, two glasses of wine!" The brewer thought about it and said, "If Yvesley doesn't agree, go find Maureen again..."
"Okay." Susan nodded.
"Go quickly." The brewer urged: "The church bell is about to ring. Go quickly. I will go to Jeremy's house after I finish the morning food and get the cows back early so as not to make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, Peter." Susan walked out, "Jeremy's craftsmanship has never been wrong for so many years..."
"Well! I hope this is the case..." Peter was still a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, there are chickens, fish, sheep, and cows..." From afar, Susan encouraged her husband: "If you invite Los to have such a meal, our family's share will definitely be divided into honeycombs."
"Hopefully..."

On that evening, stepping on the tail of the sunset, Wu Qingchen was invited to the wooden house of the brewer Peter.
"Sit, Los." The brewer enthusiastically pressed Wu Qingchen/Los onto the round stool.
"Susan! Take it here!"
Paste, cabbage, beans, eggs! Sober daily food was placed in front of Wu Qingchen/Lose.
Chicken, fish, sheep, and cow! The precious heirloom of the family was also placed in front of Wu Qingchen/Lose.
"Come on, Los, eat..." Pointing to the heirloom, the brewer was full of pride: "It's all the best craftsmanship! It's specially prepared for several days."
"No, no, no, no..."
Keeping in mind the etiquette taught by Old William, Wu Qingchen held the wooden bowl he brought over and quickly put the beans on it, "I'll just eat these."
"Oh... eat... eat a little..." The brewer repeatedly persuaded him, but he had no choice but to give up: "I really don't eat... OK, then wait and eat a little later."
Eat your sister! I want to eat it...
Unfortunately, my teeth are not good!
