Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1105

[Chapter 730 It is impossible to be separated from the masses]

Knowing that he was being calculated, Xu Mingyang was very helpless.

He knew very well that it was not Zhang Xiaobao, let alone Wang *, who was calculating on him. The two of them had always been responsible for protecting His Majesty and seemed to have no interest in him.

In other words, it was the nine children who really came up with the plan. After muttering, they could actually think of sending someone to interfere with them, so that they would waste two bullets, and the most important thing was that it affected their own mentality. .

Now every time I want to shoot, I must first consider whether someone is making trouble, even when the trigger is pulled at the last moment.

In this way, how can the gun still hit, I am not a sniper, I am far from being so calm, I am just a person who has just been exposed to rifles for a few days.

When he had to admire the wisdom of Xiao Bei’s nine children, Xu Mingyang chose the strategy of moving forward quickly and staying away from the other side.

“Let’s go? We’re leaving now?” Xiaobei raised the binoculars and looked at Xu Mingyang firmly interspersed forward, muttering regretfully.

Liu Xiaobei, you see that you have forced Inspector Xu.

“Li Longji said to Xiaobei with a smile.

Xiaobei didn’t care, he pouted and said, “A soldier never tires of cheating, you must use all available resources to suppress your opponent, otherwise you will be disrespectful to your opponent, Uncle Emperor, you Look, we have more respect for Governor Xu, and if we need to, we can do everything we can to respect Governor Xu.

”

Don’t be too complacent, Inspector Xu still has eight bullets.

Li Longji gave a warning.

Xiaobei nodded: “Don’t be afraid, we have already hit two prey, all of them were shot by little boys and sisters. We don’t believe that Xu Inspector Xu’s remaining eight bullets can still make merit, his mentality is no longer. Steady, you know, masters fight against each other, and only fight for the front line.

”

“What are the masters fighting each other?”

very messy.

Li Longji said with a smile.

“It’s in the story, I’ll tell you when I have time, but it’s interesting. When I was fighting against each other, I used my wisdom to defeat the other side, and my brothers and sisters admitted it.”

”

Xiaobei spoke very seriously. The story she told was naturally told to her by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Yao. She was also a protagonist in it, which was very unusual.

“Okay, okay, tell me when you have time. I want to see how the masters only compete for the front line.” Li Longji said indifferently, and at the same time raised the binoculars and looked forward, he really wanted to see Where exactly is Xu Mingyang going and whether he wants to leave the team?

…

Xu Mingyang, who went forward, is really not stupid enough to leave the team.

He is very aware of the situation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and he has been there twice. In the name of tourism, being a prefect is only a good thing. He usually has nothing. Things can be done, no matter where you want to go, as long as you don’t leave Luzhou too far, no one will object.

He wanted to go into the Shiwanda Mountain to play, and others were around him to protect him, so he had also seen some situations in the Shiwanda Mountain, which was usually okay, but occasionally dangerous, especially when he left the main road. under.

All kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, plus other animals that specialize in eating meat, are very dangerous. People who usually come to travel must move forward according to the requirements of the protector, and are not allowed to leave the team casually.

He doesn’t think that the emperor is here, and the animals in the hundred thousand mountains are all obediently worshipped like people.

Therefore, even if he walked ahead, he was still under the protection of the big team.

But there is a difference between the front and the emperor, that is, there are relatively few guards, so fewer animals are frightened away, and some animals even see that there are fewer people in front and want to ambush or something. .

This is his chance, with eight bullets left, no matter what, he has to hit a few more prey.

As for Xiaobei and the others, after they let others hit the prey, Xu Mingyang is not worried at all. Even if the emperor likes Xiaobei and others, it is impossible for him to be biased in this regard.

Even Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are the same. Winning or losing is not important to their younger siblings. They are just cooking, not to mention practicing their hands. Can something made by a group of children be delicious?

Of course, even if it’s not delicious, I’m willing to eat it. I don’t want to go to the dock to do heavy work with the people in Luzhou. It’s not just shameful, but giving myself a sack of more than 100 kilograms. How can I carry it?

Are there 100-pound sacks at the dock?

It is estimated that there is no, at least 200 catties are the base, and the people who work there have the strength.

With the thought of not wanting to do heavy work, Xu Mingyang got serious, holding the binoculars to look for prey, stopping from time to time to aim, but he didn’t shoot easily, and only pulled the trigger when he felt sure.

After two hours, Xu Mingyang finally shot the remaining eight bullets, but the debt was not ideal. He only shot four prey, two chickens, one rabbit, one snake, and the last snake. Really confused.

He knew clearly that he was aiming at a bear, and he killed the snake in the leather bush next to him. If it hadn’t been picked up by someone specializing in reconnaissance, he would have thought that the shot was missed.

To say that the biggest gain in addition to hitting the prey, there are two points. One is that Xu Mingyang knows, not aiming, and then shooting to hit the prey. He can bet that if he gives him ten more bullets, he will definitely Better than it is now.

Because he has found a little trick, that is, to control his breathing. When he is breathing sharply, it is best not to shoot, even if he is lying on the ground, it will affect the accuracy of the gun.

The second is that he knew that the bear could run so fast, and when he didn’t hit the bear with a single shot, the bear turned around and ran without giving himself a chance to refill the gun. It seemed that the bear entered in the blink of an eye. In the woods, it can no longer be found.

The sound of gunshots also stopped elsewhere. Xu Mingyang didn’t know how many shots Xiaobei’s nine children fired in total. He didn’t have the energy to count, even if he wanted to, he couldn’t count, because not only the sound of guns, but also the sound of gunshots. In the echoes in the mountains, who knew that several of them fired at the same time, and the movement of the guns rang in the ears endlessly.

Putting away the gun, Xu Mingyang asked someone to help bring the four prey to the middle of the team.

He is still very satisfied with his performance today. Usually, the bullets are not limited, and it is impossible for him to hit more than three prey in one day. Today, he performed exceptionally under pressure.

But when he returned to Li Longji’s side, he was stupid. There were several small piles of prey in front of him. There was no big guy. The big one was only a bear. Looking at the wound on the bear’s body, he knew that this bear was a bear. How much was hit.

It was a bloody piece. It looked like it was all wounds. It was definitely not caused by a single shot. Next to the bear, there were six other animals, a total of seven animals.

No need to guess, Xu Mingyang already knew that this pile belonged to the one who hit the most among the nine children, but he did not understand that seven animals belonged to one person in total, but the wounds on the animals were not every one of them. There is only one.

In particular, the bear had almost no injuries on its head, and there was no bleeding in the heart, so how could it be killed by someone?

You can guess by looking at bleeding spots elsewhere.

If it’s not bad, he was definitely tortured to death by a gun, or he was bleeding to death.

“Ha, Xu Mingyang, you only hit four small things, both in terms of quantity and weight, and you lose. When you go back, you have to work at the dock. Oh, it’s a pity, we still want to do it for you for two months. You didn’t give us a chance, it really made us speechless.”

Seeing Xu Mingyang coming back, Xiaobei immediately ran to the front, looked at the four prey, shook his head, and said regretfully.

Xu Mingyang’s face became very ugly. First, he looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and then at the emperor, and found that several people had no other expressions, knowing that Xiaobei’s nine-person prey had never been helped by others.

But he still said dissatisfiedly: “Why are there so many bullet holes in the bear’s body?”

“Because there are so many bullets hitting it, do you still need to ask?” Xiaobei said confidently.

“So many bullets hit it, can it be regarded as the prey of one person? You might as well say that the number of nine people combined is compared with me. I definitely have no winners or losers.”

Xu Mingyang really didn’t want to go to the wharf to work. It was a shame, it was too shameful. If he did go, he would definitely be known by others in the future. How could he keep his head up in front of others?

A dignified third-rank provincial governor actually went to do such low-level work. Others might not say anything about him in person, but behind his back, he would probably give himself the nickname of “carrying the living governor. It’s

detrimental to the prestige of the word, not a gentleman’s act.” Xiaobei didn’t know what Xu Mingyang was thinking

,

and when he heard the other person ask, he asked back: “I ask you, Xu Mingyang, one of eight of us gave you a fist, and the last one came to your head. A brick, who did you say killed the man?

”

“Naturally it’s made of bricks.”

Xu Mingyang replied without thinking.

“Yes, nine of us shot bears with guns. Eight of them have never killed a bear. The last one killed a bear, so naturally it must be counted on the last person.” .

Xiaobei said along Xu Mingyang’s words.

“What you just said was fist.

Xu Mingyang reminded.

“Okay, let me say it again, there are nine of us, and eight of us hit you on the arm with bricks, and finally one hit you on the head. Who’s the one who killed it?

Xiaobei continued to follow Xu Mingyang’s words fluently.

Li Longji and the others couldn’t help laughing. For Xiaobei, Li Longji was too clear. It’s

far away, but if she talks normally, she thinks she can tell a lot of crooked things.

Especially when talking to you, she still looks very serious. If you really think she doesn’t understand anything and want to explain it to her clearly, The more he said

, the more confused he was.

Xu Mingyang felt a little confused at the moment, raised his hand to rub the sun, and said to Xiaobei: “I didn’t mean that, I mean, look, the nine of you, the others will help you. Even if the last shot was the most important one among you, don’t you think it’s unfair to me?

”

“Huh?”

Are you fair?

Fair, why is the word fair?

Why public?

What is flat?

Is this flat?

”

When Xiaobei heard this, she asked in a confused manner. She also tried her best to put her feet up and drew her hands on her head. She wanted to draw her hands on Xu Mingyang’s head, but she couldn’t reach Xu Mingyang when she raised her arms. His head was tilted back and forth to level it.

Xu Mingyang was stunned for a moment, and was immediately speechless.

He understands what Xiaobei means, that you are fair to us, then how old are you and how old are we?

I’m not as tall as you with my arms up now, so you’re just being fair to us?

Xu Mingyang was very embarrassed for a while, but he was embarrassed and asked him to admit defeat and go to work at the dock. He still couldn’t keep his face down, so he asked: “When you were on the battlefield, would the enemy be because of your age? I

won’t hit you when I was young?”

“Can’t I ask you, did you stop shooting when you were on the battlefield because you were alone and the other party was nine?” Xiaobei stared at him and asked. road.

“Hahahaha.” Li Longji laughed more cheerfully. He didn’t care who won or lost at all. He came out to play. He just wanted to have fun and now he thinks it’s very interesting.

Xu Mingyang’s face was even more ugly: “I don’t believe that any of you can hit so accurately, every shot hits a key position at a critical moment, such as this bear, how can you definitely hit the other six? The person who killed the prey last? Can you be sure that he or she aimed the shot intentionally?”

“No, we can’t compare to you, unlike the snake you killed last, people are hiding in the bushes. In the end, you still smashed your head with a shot. I admire it, I really admire it. You scared the bear next to you. I guess the bear will be scared and tell his descendants that there is a person The marksmanship is very accurate, thanks to the man who didn’t aim the gun at me, otherwise there would be no you.

When I went out with the snake brother to hunt for food, the snake brother wanted to trick me and let me stand in a conspicuous position next to me, but the man saw it all at once. Brother Snake’s trick, he wanted to eat snake guts, so he pretended to aim at me, but he shot Brother Snake unexpectedly, and Brother Snake gave himself like this, haha, I’m dying of laughter.”

Xiaobei said to Xu Mingyang. Laughing while covering his stomach.

“Haha~~!” The other people around who heard Xiaobei’s words, whether they were guards or serving shì, couldn’t help but laugh.

Li Longji even pinched his own big tuǐ, his stomach hurts when he can laugh.

Xu Mingyang was completely stupid. He didn’t expect Xiaobei to be able to say so much. After thinking about it, he finally gave up and continued to make excuses. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: “Okay, I think you won, or you just worked for two months. What are you doing, I do it one meal at a time, and I can get closer to the people.”

“Well, I think you are right, you go to work, give you bullets, and you continue to shoot, but we No comparison, unless you can come up with other bets, the prey you hit now is your own, and you have something to eat, congratulations.” Xiaobei also said to Xu Mingyang in a generous way.

She can’t continue shooting today. Her arm still hurts. It is estimated that her brother and sister will help her to rub it with the medicinal wine at night, and then she can continue to try to use the rifle tomorrow.

For children, like adults, there is no such thing as exercising too much today, muscles are not used to it, and it cannot be relieved for several days. Usually, it is enough to sleep.

Xu Mingyang suppressed his depressed thoughts, asked for a lot of bullets, and continued to accompany Li Longji and others while searching for prey that could be hit.

While walking, he did not forget to take this opportunity to get close to the emperor and talk to Li Longji next to him.

“Your Majesty, I just found a secret in a contest with Inspector Zhang and others?” Xu Mingyang was not in a hurry to find the animal and shot, seeing the emperor looking around with the binoculars, he said instead.

In fact, Li Longji didn’t have to hit the prey. He was looking at the terrain here, calculating if there was a place to use if there was a war. what a harvest.

Hearing Xu Mingyang’s words, while observing, he asked, “What secret? Tell me.”

“Going back to Your Majesty, this minister found that when shooting, it’s best to hold your breath before shooting. If you shoot it, the gun will be very stable and won’t deviate too much, unless it is an accidental situation.”

Xu Mingyang replied, saying that he would not be too biased. When encountering an accidental situation, he was very embarrassed. Obviously, the snake that scared the bear away was one of his masterpieces.

Li Longji didn’t say anything directly, and after looking around again, he said, “This is the experience you have summed up? Do you know what the two points that I need to remember when I am training the Tang riflemen? ”

I don’t know.” Xu Mingyang replied, and at the same time he had some thoughts in his heart.

Sure enough, Li Longji said to him: “One of them is to control your breathing before shooting, and the second is to try to achieve inadvertent firing, that is, your subconscious controls your body to shoot at that moment, not your intentional Pulling the trigger hard, especially for snipers, has reached a level where you can shoot at will, that is, for a moment you don’t know if you should shoot, and the bullets go out.”

“Ah? How is that possible? Then Isn’t it the same as telling a story?” Xu Mingyang said in surprise.

“Why is it impossible? You can walk, right? Before you take every step, you have to think about which tuǐ to take first, how much effort you will use to step out, and put your mind on the tuǐ?

Countless times of training, You can reach this level, just like you take a step, when the number of shots reaches a certain level, it is like walking with you. You move forward, not to lift the tuǐ, but to shoot where you want to go. It’s the same, not to pull the trigger but to hit someone, you are still far from good, work hard and take the opportunity to come here with me.”

Li Longji said to Xu Mingyang In one sentence, he shook his head regretfully and looked incomprehensible, and continued to use the telescope to find the target.

Xu Mingyang stopped for a while, fell behind slightly, and pondered the emperor’s words.

Gao Lishi also slowed down a little and said to Xu Mingyang, “That’s how the little boy shot just now. She aimed for a very short time, and when she actually shot, it was done in an instant. There were also Xiaobao and Juanjuan, the two of them. Shooting a gun is almost like lifting a gun and shooting.

Just like when you write when you are not deliberately practicing, if you want to write every stroke well, it is definitely not as comfortable as when you are inadvertently writing. Of course, no matter how you write, Your calligraphy is not very good-looking, I have seen your calligraphy.”

“Yes, I will work hard to practice calligraphy in the future.” Xu Mingyang depressedly promised himself that he was better than anyone else’s guns, but he was actually involved in the words. , to whom to make sense.

Li Longji and his entourage spent half a month in the 100,000-strong mountain before returning to the construction site of the Luzhou Railway Construction. They really saw how the railway was built.

The construction workers in the flat area are from the Tang Dynasty. They help lift the rails and sleepers. They are very careful and do not ask how fast they are. They are all found from places around Luzhou. They have wages and good food.

There are four shifts in total, and each shift works for three hours, and then you can rest, but you can do other hard work accurately, and because the seaside is wet, you can still drink some wine.

When waiting to encounter a mountain, or a place with a slope, it is replaced by someone from other places, such as Xinyuan Island and Kunlun slave.

These people work in three shifts, so they are not as tired as Zhang Xiaobao said. After that, there was basically no strength.

Instead, let them rest, do four hours of work, then go to sleep, wait for two hours to wake up, then do other work for two hours, eat the same, continue to sleep, and ensure physical strength.

But when working, you must be fast, and anyone who is slow will be whipped.

And because there is more time to rest, the food is bad, and I can’t see any meaty fishy at all. The only thing that is meaty is when cooking, doze in a big pot, and when you are about to doze off, remove a spoonful of float on it. Oil.

The oil slick looks a lot, and no matter who is scooping it, you can find that there is oil in the bowl, but there is no oily smell in the dish. Under normal circumstances, the oil slick is used to keep warm, so that the heat does not dissipate so quickly. .

The staple food is also not very good. There is no need to compare with the people of the Tang Dynasty. They eat rice and white noodles, or

millet sorghum rice. They usually eat green trees, which are usually used to feed livestock.

The good thing to say is that it is pickles. The taste of pickles is good, and it is salty enough, not only the places next to the sea here give more pickles, but also other sections of the road.

It was because they were afraid that their workers would eat less salt and have no energy.

But even so, the people who work still think it’s good, because they can’t see what the people in Datang eat when they work. The prisoners who were captured on Xinyuan Island think that the food in Datang is very good now.

At least there are more varieties of dishes, and the taste is more than twice as strong as they were.

When they were on the island before, it was not easy, they were also very tired, and they went out hunting for a long time. They usually ate their meals, or boiled them in a “pot made of stones”.

How could they compare There are a lot of “good” seasonings in the current dishes, and the people who make them are also not low-level.

It’s not that there is no meat to eat at all. People in Luzhou, because they are next to the sea, are the least valuable fish. They make fish for them every two or three days. Compared with people in some parts of the Tang Dynasty But much stronger.

Xu Mingyang also followed the inspection and saw the happy expressions of the slaves when they were eating, with sad expressions on their faces, and said to Li Longji: “Your Majesty, this minister has discovered that sometimes ignorance is a kind of happiness, and they will eat such a meal. I’m

satisfied~! It’s so pitiful.”

Li Longji looked at Xu Mingyang in surprise, nodded and said, “Who told them not to be from the Tang Dynasty, Xiaobei, do you think so?”

Li Longji asked Xiaobei and others, what did you mean? It is to let them talk about the pride that Datang should have.

Who knew that Xiaobei didn’t answer, but Xiaohai did.

“Ignorance is a kind of happiness, but when you think that others are ignorant and have a bad life, and you feel that you know a lot and have a good time, you are sad. You think you have a good life, don’t you know that someone Better than you?

People who are willing to be ordinary are actually enjoying the fruits of those who are willing to fight. Life is not about how you think about being indifferent, because what you eat and wear is all provided by others. , so, the real enjoyment of life is how much you can give others.

People who avoid the world are the most hateful people, they don’t even have the courage to stand up, unless they can smelt things by themselves, get food and salt by themselves, and They don’t drag others down with clothes or anything.

Otherwise, their so-called leisurely life is actually based on the efforts of others. I hate that kind of people the most. They always do something, even if they are learned, Go out to teach or something.”

“Yes, my brother Xiao Hai is right, don’t trample on other people’s efforts, and then say that you are noble, look at me, I am also trying to do things, even if I am still young.

” Bey spoke up in support right away.

Xu Mingyang was stunned. He never thought that Xiaohai could say such philosophical words. No matter whether the words were right or not, at least these words should not come out of a child’s mouth.

Suddenly, he looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Yao who were standing not far away, which meant how much did the two teach their younger siblings, and they could also make them understand.

Li Longji smiled and said, “Don’t go to see Xiaobao and Cuckoo, they never teach this directly, they just guide, turn their heads, Xiaohai can’t say anything else, you don’t have to be surprised, the two of them It’s not one kind of teaching, what they say, each child may understand differently, but there is no right or wrong.”

Ming Yang agreed in disbelief.

Xiaobei immediately said: “Xu Mingyang, have you forgotten something? You haven’t gone to work at the pier yet, do you want to wait for us to leave? Or run away when you arrive?

We have a bet Oh, repay the debt.”

Xu Mingyang blushed, he did have this idea, he could delay a day, but he didn’t expect that just after he made up his mind, he asked Xiaobei to point it out. He thought that Xiaobei would play Playing and forgetting.

Because when they were on the mountain, after losing the bet, Xiaobei and the others never mentioned asking him to help at the wharf.

“Tomorrow, I’ll go tomorrow.” Xu Mingyang agreed, but he was very sad. Once this happened, I don’t know how many people will laugh at him in the future. Although he can also gain a reputation locally, what is the use of fame? Lu It is still the Luzhou of the Zhang and Wang families.

The most important thing is that reputation is not necessarily a good reputation. You are the one who loses the gambling. The people of Luzhou must know that they are paying their gambling debts. I recognized it myself.

Hey, life, it’s not worthwhile to hide as far as you can when you see Zhang Wang’s family in the future.

“Okay, go tomorrow, but don’t repeat tomorrow.” Xiaobei said again, and stopped mentioning this matter, followed Li Longji slowly on the construction site, watching everyone work hard, I hope that the railway will be repaired as soon as possible, so that it will be much more convenient to come to Luzhou from the capital in the future. There is no need to take a boat. The speed of the boat is not as fast as the train.

Early the next morning, Xu Mingyang did as he said, got up and ran to the pier, planning to work for a while before going to accompany the emperor.

As soon as he did it, he was dumbfounded. He said that it was the time for a meal, and it was normal to have a meal. As a result, from the time he arrived at the pier, there was someone cooking, and he did not mean to bully him at all.

On the dock, he was in charge of recording the goods coming and going from his place, and after about a quarter of an hour, he wanted to leave.

But someone else stopped him, and the person who stopped him was from the Chamber of Commerce.

“Inspector Xu, would you like to make it easier?” the Chamber of Commerce asked.

“Convenient? It’s not convenient for me. I’m going back. I’ve already written a lot.” Xu Mingyang said that I’m working, can’t you still monitor it?

The other party nodded: “Oh, you want to go back? But the time for a meal hasn’t come yet. You want to lose your bet?

” It’s

gone.

” Xu Mingyang glared at the other party fiercely.

He actually does think the time is shorter, but he has a reason. I eat so fast, and there are other faster than me, I didn’t mention it.

“Master Xu is eating raw rice at home, so you don’t need to do it? Think about it, is that true? I usually do it when I eat. For a meal, I have to do it for at least a while before I can eat it. , if you really eat all raw food and finish it within a quarter of an hour, then you can leave now, and I will report it to Mrs. Xiaobei and the others.

Is there anyone watching at your house at that time? I don’t know what you eat, but I still advise you to stay there and not let you carry things, it’s not bad.”

The people in the chamber of commerce didn’t mean to give in at all, and were very rude. He questioned Xu Mingyang.

Xu Mingyang glared again: “I didn’t say that it was such a meal at the beginning. You speak your conscience. When talking to others, when you say a meal, does it include eating?”

“But you didn’t say anything .

Ah, since you didn’t say it, why do you have to follow what you said? And the little lady Xiaobei said that after their bet is lost, they will cook you a meal every day, and you will eat it at that time. Come on, the stakes should be the same.

When I say it, I make a meal for you to eat. If you lose, why do you omit what you did? If you think we are slow here, I will go now Find Mrs. Xiaobei and the others, let them make it themselves, and see how long it takes, and they can even give you the time to eat, after all, it was said to be done, what do you think?”

The people from the Chamber of Commerce pointed to the person who was cooking next to him, and the threat was very clear in his words.

Xu Mingyang didn’t expect the other party to be so rude, but after careful consideration, what the other party said really stood his ground. Yes, since he was talking about Xiaobei and others cooking a meal, then the meal he was working on was naturally It should be time to make a meal, but it shouldn’t be like this. The time to eat a meal can be long or short, and it is even more so to cook a meal, especially when Xiaobei and others do it. They just prepare the materials, not enough. Are you ready for half a day?

Waiting for them to finish the meal, it is estimated that the morning sun has turned into a sunset. I really have to force them to come and cook a meal to see how long it will take. They have enough energy, but they can’t do it for one day and one night?

Don’t you need to sleep?

Turning his head to look at the cook next to him, Xu Mingyang was finally scared and didn’t want Xiaobei and others to come and set a time, and asked, “What are they doing?”

“Lord Xu, they are I’m making a big tonic for you, making turtle soup for you, wait, it won’t take long to eat.” The

chamber of commerce said as if we cared about you, and then stretched out his hand to signal the other party to sit back. , keep working.

Xu Mingyang’s eyes suddenly darkened, looking at the stall and the slow fire below, a turtle soup can’t be boiled for a day.

While returning to the seat just now and making two records, Xu Mingyang couldn’t help but ask again, “Why this dish? Can’t you change it?”

“Do you want to eat Buddha Jumping Over the Wall? Oh, that’s between water and clouds. The signature dish, I’ll change it for you tomorrow.” The chamber of commerce replied politely.

“No, no, no Buddha jumps over the wall. You don’t have to prepare for a meal of Buddha jumping over the wall for three or five days. Then I’ll be buried in the pit and I won’t be able to jump over the wall.” Xu Mingyang shook his head vigorously. When I listen to my friend introduce the steps of Buddha jumping over the wall, I can’t wait.

People from the Chamber of Commerce asked again embarrassedly, “Is the bear’s paw good?”

“The preparation of the bear’s paw is longer. Just this turtle soup, I’ll make it up and put a sunshade on it. There is no sour plum soup, but there is always cold water. Bar?”

Xu Mingyang finally accepted his fate at this moment, and he felt that he should have thought that the idea that Xiao Bei’s nine children came together to discuss is definitely not that simple.

It’s a pity, I was deceived, and I was deceived by one meal, and I was delayed at the dock. Another month, two months, I don’t need to do anything else. Turtle soup, it will take two hours at the earliest, right?

Unless the soft-shelled turtle is cooked by other means first, but the supplementation is poor, it is best to take a slow nap.

When it was noon, just as Xu Mingyang thought, the turtle soup was not ready yet. He discussed with the people from the chamber of commerce that he should have some lunch first. It was not included in the provisions of a meal, and he continued to work. The talents of the Chamber of Commerce promised him.

As a result, the meal eaten at the dock at noon does not mean that it must be eaten outside. There is a cafeteria at the dock. After receiving a plate, you can go in and choose dishes. There are many kinds of dishes, more than 30 kinds. You can eat whatever you want, but the amount is limited, the main tube is enough, and there is egg huā soup.

Xu Mingyang admitted that the canteen at the wharf is still good, not only is it all free, but there are so many meals, not all local construction sites will prepare more than 30 dishes for you.

Other places in the Tang Dynasty also manage the rice, but there are only a few dishes, and they are eaten over and over almost every day, because it is cheap, not to mention when changing shifts, everyone who changes will also provide a glass of white wine. , This kind of food, it is estimated that in the entire Datang, few construction sites can provide it.

But good or good, what is your identity, the governor, you eat with other people at the bottom?

Listening to their messy talk, how could I have suffered like this?

Except for the two days when no one else gave me food some time ago.

Depressed, Xu Mingyang didn’t have much to eat. He ordered a vegetable dish of cucumber and scooped some soup. He found that the egg in the soup was too broken, so he complained and poured it into the half-bowl of rice. After finishing the meal in a hurry, I ran out to do the knife and pen work under the umbrella.

It wasn’t until the evening that I ate the boiled soft-shelled turtle. The taste was really good, but I would rather not eat it, just begging people not to use it tomorrow.

After taking the free car and returning to the mansion, Xu Mingyang didn’t have the heart to see the emperor, so he let someone burn a pool of water, go in and soak it hard, and then found two people to massage him, hummingly washed and then fell asleep.

The next morning, I got up early and counted the days. Today was the school break. I called the youngest son born by my concubine. He was eight years old, about the same age as Xiao Bei and the others.

I gave my son an honorable and arduous task. I sent my son out to the amusement park to find Xiaobei and the others to play with. Today, the other children are also resting. If I want to come to Xiaobei, a group of children can probably go to the amusement park to play with others.

Xu Mingyang himself promised his family that he would go to the pier at noon to bring himself sour plum soup, otherwise he would die of heat, so he rode his horse and rushed towards the pier at the fastest speed. He estimated that it would be another day before he could return. The people of Zhang Wang’s family are too immoral, and it is absolutely impossible to let him go.

Sure enough, when I arrived at the pier, I saw that someone was making soup, so I didn’t need to ask what kind of soup it was. It was guaranteed to be a sack for a day, and it was true that it could be fast or slow. Even if you got some lamb chops in, you would say Nothing comes out, the longer the time, the more delicious it is.

At the same time, the amusement park is just like what he thought. The children rested and went to the amusement park to play. They didn’t know what to do. They played every time they were on vacation.

Xiaobei’s eleven children also took the car to the amusement park. They didn’t want to play any entertainment, they just wanted to have children to play with.

Xu Mingyang’s youngest son has been waiting. His surname is Xu and his name is Xu Wan. He is still far from the age to start writing. It is estimated that when the time comes, he will give a word that is opposite to stubborn, otherwise the word stubborn will not sound good. .

As soon as he saw Xiaobei and the others, Xu Wan came over and, according to his father’s instructions, stayed by the side without speaking. No matter what Xiaobei and others were playing, he would be there to protect him, such as riding on the slide or himself I was thirsty, thinking that Xiao Bei was also thirsty, so I ran to get some water.

At the beginning, Xiaobei and others hadn’t paid attention, thinking that it was ordinary children who were willing to play with them, and it wasn’t just this one around, there were other children chatting happily and playing with them.

But after a long time, Xiaobei and others finally realized that something was wrong. Other children came to play. Besides talking, they also played by themselves. Why didn’t this one play by themselves? , actually delivered water three times in a row, you are thirsty and drink it yourself?

“Stop, what are you doing?” Xiaobei asked Xu Wan, who was about to run towards the place where the water was provided.

“I, I drink water.” Xu Yan replied.

“Don’t give it to us, you drink your own, we’ll go drink it when we’re thirsty,” Xiao Gu reminded.

Xu Yan shook his head: “No, my father said that you have to be treated to the shìhou, otherwise I will be punished when I go back.”

“Who is your father…? What’s your name?

” Little… Bey asked again.

“Xu Yan.” Xu Yan replied.

Xiaobei and the others were stunned, Xiaobei said: “Xu Mingyang’s son, right? You play with yourself, don’t worry about us, don’t worry, your father will never dare to punish you when you go back, he punishes you, and he will come back tomorrow night. Don’t go home and continue to work at the dock, really, it’s disgusting to bring your son here, isn’t it just to work for two months, this is a great opportunity to penetrate into the masses, what a great opportunity.”

Xu Yan shook his head: “No way.

Yes, Dad said, I play with you, just in line with your identity, other children can’t.”

“Why can’t other children? What identity are we? Ha, identity? We are third-rank officials, according to our identity, You’re all right? Your father came over to play with him.

We are children now, so why can’t other children? According to you, we have no one to play yet. Don’t pester us, just tell your father , we have to play with our own.”

What Xiaobei disliked most was that there was nothing to mention about his identity. There were only a few people who could play with them, and if they mentioned their identity, wouldn’t they have contact with other children in the future?

“Then, can you make my dad finish it earlier? Dad came home yesterday and was exhausted. He couldn’t bear the pain, and he said that he already knew what to do, so just give him a chance.” Xu Stubborn said as his father ordered.

Xiaobei shook his head: “No, I’d like to admit defeat, and I’ll do it for just one day? Others don’t say they can’t survive when they’re adults. How can you be tired when you remember something at the dock? It’s really expensive. If you pester us again, we will not play, we will go back and clean up your father, if you don’t believe me, try it, you will be mad at me and sell your son.”

Xiaobei actually knew what Xu Yan meant, and said: It’s not that Xu Mingyang said he knew what to do, but he knew he was wrong and begged for mercy.

But it is absolutely impossible, work must be done, and it has to be done for two months, not to punish Xu Mingyang, but to gradually change his mentality while working, he always thinks he is an official, You shouldn’t have too much contact with the people, you have to be high above.

Hearing Xiao Bei’s words, Xu Yan was horrified, agreed, and ran towards the pier with his head lowered. He had to report to his father, fearing that he would be punished at night.
