Chapter 121: Dinner
"Oh?"
Tang Jian didn't know how much he was surprised by Xiao Han's place today, if it was changed to food, it was estimated that he would have died by now!
But there are many surprises, and there are benefits, just like now, Tang Jian feels that his heart is almost numb.
"I don't know how many people and how many children Xiao Hou is here now?"
"There are not many people, counting the relatives and friends who came here to join, there are only fifty or sixty families, and the children are not Xiao Da them, there are only about thirty, hey, the house is too big, I thought I could come over one hundred and eighty, but I didn't expect no one to come......"
When it comes to people, Xiao Han is worried, more than 1,000 acres of land, there are only about 200 people, and the people who burn cement are not enough, how to carry out the large-scale development strategy he imagined?
Seeing Xiao Han's somewhat lonely appearance, Tang Jian nodded with deep feelings, and walked over to comfort: "People are leaving their hometowns, you have just started here, and it is normal for no one to come, but since you are here, I think this will soon change its appearance!" Besides, His Majesty was afraid that you were too young to control the people, so he didn't give you food, and after two years of your coming-of-age ceremony, it is estimated that you will also make up for it, and by then, there will be more of you, but I'm afraid that there won't be so many people here! ”
When Xiao Han heard this, he nodded heavily, swept away the lonely appearance just now, seemed to be full of strength again, and said in a powerful tone: "At that time, I will build a few more classrooms!" If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will have a group of wives and concubines...... Phew, the rich will help the world! ”
Accidentally, he smoothed out all the words when he was in school, and Tang Jian was stunned when he listened, Xiao Han always seemed to be a villain on one side and a saint on the other, it was really difficult to distinguish, but whether it was a villain or a saint, Xiao Han was indeed a good person in his bones, and Tang Jian was sure that he was not mistaken!
When I came out of the big house, it was past noon, and the construction site in front of me was busy again.
The upper beam is a big event, many ordinary people can build a house once in their lives, the last beam, so at this point must not be sloppy, all kinds of etiquette can be said to be harsh!
In addition to sticking red paper and hanging copper coins, you must also go to the beam in the morning, choose the best time, and a few strong laborers put the beam on the roof, which means that the house is as stable as a mountain and will not move for a hundred years.
In the afternoon, it's much more casual, and even if the house doesn't have a good beam in the morning, you have to stop and wait for the next auspicious day, and of course, the people here will not be idle.
There are so many houses with only one wall, how can they have the heart to rest, eat, take a breath, some people step up to other work, the busy construction site seems to have a magic power, so that everyone watching from the side wants to roll up their sleeves and go down to help.
Tang Jian looked at the busy people with a relaxed heart, he always liked to see hard-working compatriots, and he also saw in the crowd the old master who was still building the wall in the morning, at this time he was teaching a young student how to build a wall.
"Uncle Dong, you are so old, you don't rest at noon, why did you come out again? Xiaodong, hurry up and pour some water for your father, and give me some by the way! ”
Xiao Han also saw this old man from afar, so he smiled and shouted there.
This old man is Xiaodong's father, his own ...... The old man had a good handicraft when he was young, and the handicraft was so good: the money earned from building houses for people can afford to buy a house in Chang'an City! Awesome!
However, the old man is not a craftsman, he is a farmer, although he does not plant an acre of land, but it is clearly written in the household registration, this household system of the Great Sui is really chaotic......
Xiaodong's background can be said to be good, but unfortunately, Xiaodong's wife may be because she is older, and since she gave birth to Xiaodong, this body has also begun to have problems, and she has spent a lot of money just taking medicine.
At this time, the old man was already old, and there were fewer and fewer jobs, and life was tight, and when Xiaodong grew up, the old man simply sold the house in Chang'an and moved to the countryside to live, thinking about planting some land and vegetables, and the expenses could be smaller, but the work of the bricklayer in the countryside was less, and the wages were less, which directly led to Xiaodong being young in order to reduce the burden on the family, and one person went to join the army with a broken knife to win a future.
But speaking of which, the encounter between people is so magical, Xiao Dong didn't make any movement when he slashed people with a knife, but he followed Xiao Han by mistake, and now he is also a good one, and the red man in front of Hou Ye is also considered to be an existence against the sky in that group of soldiers.
Although Xiaodong's Laozi is still quite strong, he is still old, and his ears are not very bright, until his son Xiaodong went over to pull him, and then he found out that it was Hou Ye who came.
Seeing that Hou Ye and the man who came in the morning came over, the old man hurriedly threw the trowel in his hand into the wooden basin and said, "Hou Ye, why are you here, this is to inspect the house?" ”
"It's not!" Xiao Han waved his hand and smiled: "This house, you are experts, I'll come to see the fun." ”
"Where is it, the old man can be regarded as a bricklayer who has been working all his life, he only knows how to follow the rules, where is it comparable to Hou Ye, not to mention how easy this cement is, it is the tool you made, it is so handy! The old man has been working as a bricklayer all his life, and he has never thought of changing the style of this eating guy, he is really confused......"
Xiao Han wanted to be happy when he saw the old man shaking his head, the old man was worthy of Xiaodong's father, he knew what he liked to listen to, and he cleaned his itchy spots, making himself happy unconsciously.
"It's good, hahaha, if you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your tools first, okay, I see that you are also very busy, don't delay you, I and the guests will go over there to have a look, and go to my place with Xiaodong tonight to eat, a good wild boar was slaughtered by the embryo of the stunned child, and can only eat meat!"
Hou Ye is such a distinguished person invited himself to dinner, although he knew that he couldn't go, but he still turned his face into a flower, and grinned: "Hou Ye is love, no, no, tonight, the new apprentice's father said to invite me to drink, Hou Ye, you don't care about me, you are busy first, you are busy first, ...... first"
"Okay, wait until I ask Xiaodong to bring you some back!"
Xiao Han smiled, and he didn't insist too much, these people are good everywhere, but their identity concept is too deep, if they let him eat with him, it is estimated that the chopsticks will not be used.
Let Xiaodong stay here to help his father, Xiao Han will pull Tang Jian to go elsewhere, he is here, delaying others to work, didn't you see that the bricks in the young man's hand fell into the mud pot twice?
Tang Jian had just been silent on the side, until he walked out of a distance with Xiao Han, and Tang Jian asked Xiao Han with a strange expression: "Xiao Hou is usually like this?" ”
"yes, what's wrong? What's wrong? ”
"Nothing, nothing......"
Tang Jian looked at Xiao Han with a reasonable face, as if he was an idiot who had just asked, and hurriedly muttered a few words in embarrassment, he seemed to have really asked more, because the rumors that Xiao Han was good to the people around him had not been a day or two.
After a while in Xiao Han's fiefdom, the two of them took a carriage to the cement kiln to watch the cement production, and it was not until dusk that they returned, because they were going to eat~
Chinese are obsessed with eating, until thousands of years later, in the modern era of great material abundance, acquaintances meet and greet are still left thousands of years ago: "Hey, have you eaten?" ”
Eating is always an important component of Chinese people's exchange of feelings, and it seems that if you don't talk about eating, you will no longer be a part of China.
Regardless of ancient times and present, Chinese will always be the same, if you are happy today, eat a meal! If you come today, eat a meal too! If you are a visitor today, and you are happy, then you will have a big meal!
Tang Jian's first dinner here in Xiao Han was eaten outdoors, the autumn was crisp, listening to the insects and birds, eating wine and delicacies, it was really a great joy in life!
This is Xiao Han's original words, but this is okay to deceive Tang Jian's entourage, deceive Tang Jian?
His elder brother is a deceitful ancestor, his mouth flickered with the Turkic dizziness, and in the end, he was stunned to fool a huge country, Xiao Han's thoughts were really unacceptable.
However, although Tang Jian had roughly guessed, he would have to listen to the insects and birds tonight, and watch the beautiful moon and stars fall asleep.
But seeing that Xiao Han just gave him a big plan to make money, he didn't care about it generously, after all, there are only two houses that can fit people, one has pregnant women, and no one dares to move, and the other ...... The thought of driving the owner out to make a bunk and living in it by himself felt a little inhumane.
However, although the place where I live is a little worse, when I come to Xiao Han, the food will definitely not be bad! After all, when he was in Chang'an, Tang Jian appreciated how memorable Xiaofu's food was!
On the table, Tang Jian, a fried fist-sized meatball, ate two in one go, and a big elbow was served, completely and steaming! With the chopsticks to pull, the large piece of meat will be scattered, pick up a piece, red, fat on the chopsticks straight trembling, carefully with the hand to protect the mouth, teeth bite, then feel a special soft glutinous sweetness instantly fill the mouth!
"This is the real food......
Tang Jian and Xiao Han have to be reserved when eating here, and the entourage at the next table don't have to be polite, Xiaodong and his ass don't dare to touch the stool until now are fully enjoying the convenience brought by their low status, the two pairs of chopsticks are like lightning, opening and closing at the dinner table, and the whole world pulls delicious food for themselves, and they don't care about others at all!
And at the beginning, Tang Jian's subordinates who shared the table with them were still a little unable to let go, seeing that half of the dishes on the table were instantly reduced, a few people were in a hurry, what to go out, to be a guest, to be a guest, go cool! Eat your fill first! The pig's trotters were snatched away by these two animals!
The sound of his entourage shouting and grabbing meat to eat from the side made Tang Jian recover from the delicious taste in his mouth, put down his chopsticks dissatisfied, and was just about to remind him to pay attention to guest etiquette, but Xiao Han, who was sitting opposite, stopped him with a smile.
