At night, set up a tent in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, build a bonfire, eat barbecue, drink beer, accompany the beautiful woman to watch the stars, and simply turn on the portable radio when it rises, and then invite the beautiful woman to dance together...... After this series of operations, the final planner was probably able to sleep peacefully in the fragrance of trees and flowers with the beautiful woman in his arms.

This is probably the beautiful camping life that many literary and artistic young people dream of. Of course, in reality, there is a high probability that you will not be able to meet a beauty, and the environment is not so beautiful, and there may be a large number of male compatriots around who are holding the same purpose as you, not to mention the noise and noise, and there is a high probability that you will encounter garbage all over the ground, dirty sewage in the public toilet, and even all kinds of troubles.

And Zhang Shou's two-night camping in the lower courtyard of Zanghai is not a two-person world, but it is better than a two-person world. Because both Zhu Hong and Zhu Yi deliberately avoided improper light bulbs, Ah Liu had a very low sense of existence, and the insect repellent powder successfully drove away those insects that were easy to disrupt the situation, and he did enjoy the quiet that was rare in the city.

However, he also accompanied Zhu Ying to see the stars in Rongshui Village, and he even popularized the so-called astrology to the eldest lady with great interest, and told her the story of the Saint Seiya in a matter-of-fact manner, so that Zhu Ying was already familiar with the zodiac signs and the like. It can be said that watching the starry sky, which later generations of couples thought of romance, had already changed its flavor at this time.

It's just that in the past two days, I left Cangzhou and came here, and in addition to the hard work of running all the way, I have also heard and witnessed a lot of unexpected things.

As a result, a pair of young children with a talented and beautiful appearance discussed under the moon before the flowers, but it was not a topic of vows. Maybe it was because she first looked at the plants brought back from overseas, or maybe it was because she had harvested a Taizu stone tablet after drilling through the tunnel, Zhu Ying couldn't help but look at the stars and ask about geography.

"Ah Shou, if you sail on the sea, you really have to be able to look at the stars? Is astrology really good? ”

Speaking of the astrological technique, Zhang Shou immediately smiled. He was really unfamiliar with the astronomical technology of this year, so when he heard that Mr. Ge was going to take him to the Four Seas Test to re-set the calendar, his first reaction was to quickly hide. However, he still knows a little about one of the precious legacies of his ancestors, the art of pulling stars that once played a great role in navigation.

"Originally, the art of pulling stars was not used in navigation, but on the ground, and then the rope at the end of the table was aimed at the stars in the sky to measure the position and angle of the stars, but later with the armillary sphere and the horizon ring, it was gradually used less. And the star-pulling technique mentioned at sea is actually very different from the star-pulling technique used on the ground, and the star-pulling plate should be used......"

Zhu Ying's question opened Zhang Shou's chatterbox.

Although he is not a geographer who can draw maps at his fingertips like Emperor Taizu, he has hundreds of years of geographical accumulation than people in this year, not to mention, the experience of overlooking the world from a high altitude has never been experienced in this world, so he can naturally speak the truth, and even if there is a supernatural part, he can also use the globe he has seen the Ordnance Bureau to cover it up.

And because Ah Liu listened to Zhang Shou's instructions and deliberately released water when looking at the wind, Lao Xianyu and Zanghai were able to listen to the corner of the wall for a long time behind the high wall of the lower courtyard of Zanghai.

The fat monk was initially afraid that he would hear a pair of children's Qingqing and me, and when the time came, he was embarrassed not to say, if he was discovered, he would definitely be hunted down to the ends of the earth, and when he found out, Zhang Shou actually talked about astronomy from the navigation of the astronomy, and from astronomy to geography,

However, when Zhang Shou compared the location of the continent where the Ming Dynasty is located and the location of the continent in Haidong, and then began to analyze the similarities and differences in the climate and geography, he gradually began to faint.

Even if Zhang Shou did not elaborate in too much depth, what is the angle of incidence of the sun, and what is the Tropic of Capricorn...... He and Lao Xianyu practiced martial arts when they were young, and the other only read sage books when they were children, and in the end, they all had stars in their eyes, and they didn't understand it at all. The fat monk endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he glared at the old salted fish and turned his head and left.

He had just walked out for less than two steps, when he noticed that the unreliable brother was chasing after him like a gust of wind, and immediately scolded in a low voice angrily: "It's all you, you have to come to eavesdrop on others...... Now it's good, listen...... Listen to your size! He's a doctor in charge of the two halls, and you actually expect the two of us to understand what he says? ”

"Ahem, didn't I think that when they spent the last month, maybe they would inadvertently reveal something?" Although the old salted fish had already sensed Ah Liu's intention to release the water, he still had a bit of luck, but he didn't expect the final result to be so miserable. He smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly, "I really didn't expect that eldest lady to stand such a man......"

Such a good environment, actually talking about astronomy and geography? This is not a lecture by Guozijian!

However, just when the old salted fish was complaining, he heard Zhu Ying's crisp voice from behind him: "Ah Shou, you know a lot." By the way, you just said that the climate is different if the latitude is different......"

This time, without waiting for Zhu Ying to finish speaking, Zanghai did not hesitate to drag the old salted fish and leave. It wasn't until he walked far away and couldn't hear the strange conversation between the handsome man and the beautiful woman that he breathed a deep sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Still, I can see why you believe these two...... The eldest lady is not like the eldest lady, and she has never heard of any eldest lady who is interested in drilling tunnels. Dr. Zhang, not to mention, knows astronomy and geography, and actually makes such a thing as a textile loom, which is not at all like the kind of Confucian who became a big official after reading the book of death...... In short, you're in luck! ”

"Alas, hopefully, the thief ships are all on board, and I can't escape, even if it's for that stupid boy in Yunhe, I have to bite the bullet." The old salted fish touched his head, which was already a little sparse, sighed, and said, "I have always thought I was well-informed, but now I really feel that I have lived to be a dog...... I thought he could make a good dish, and I decided to believe him once! ”

This time, the Tibetan Sea did not laugh at the old salted fish, but nodded with embarrassment.

"Alas, it's all about wandering at sea for too long to feed your hunger. Every time I swear to eat and drink spicy food when I land...... Especially in those days when the so-called American continent was wandering, those people really didn't know how to make delicious things. At that time, if there was a person like Dr. Zhang who could make all kinds of ingredients that he had never seen before and could make wonderful tastes, then he would really be like a fairy! ”

Speaking of this, the fat monk added: "You are right, not to think about getting promoted to become rich, but to think about how to make better foodies, you should indeed be trustworthy." As for the eldest lady...... can take a fancy to such a unique fiancé and such a maverick, so I just believe her! ”

Of course Zhang Shou didn't know, because of his and Zhu Ying's "uniqueness", so he easily passed the level of trust - of course, even if he knew, most of them would feel funny - how can ordinary people understand the mind of a foodie?

The next morning, when he and Zhu Ying were preparing to leave for breakfast, they got the rubbings of the stone tablet text sent by Zhu Ying's guide Huifa yesterday from Wanghai Temple.

Of course, the words on the rubbing book are reversed, and even if some letters can spell out the words, they are also preface and posterior, so even Zhang Shou, who is proficient in pinyin and English, can't help but have a headache when transcribing in turn, and it took a long time to copy, and he finally copied all the words on the paper one by one, thinking that this useless work is enough.

But surface work had to be done...... Otherwise, others will ask, how can you unlock such a heavenly book that no one can solve?

Zhang Shou stood up, stretched his waist greatly, and saw Zhu Ying put down the ink-drenched papers in discouragement, and the old salted fish didn't seem to even have the interest to look at it, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back to Cangzhou!" Whether it's a stone tablet or an authentic place, since we have informed your eldest brother, then we don't have to worry about it. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said meaningfully: "Actually, the overseas Yi people harbored in the lower courtyard of the Tibetan Sea, this matter is more important!" ”

The old salted fish changed his face at this time, and the only thing he was glad about was that Huifa, who came to deliver the letter from Wanghai Temple, had gone back, and there was no one else in the house, and Ah Liu was watching outside. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Dr. Zhang, how is this harboring?" There is a matter of overseas Yi people left in the lower courtyard of Zanghai, so you are going to report it so directly? That's a big crime, I can't bear the thin arms and legs of Zanghai! ”

Zhang Shou glanced at the old man with disdain: "Don't worry, I won't trap you to death, of course I will wait until I return to Beijing to talk about this matter." ”

Seeing that the old salted fish was still not at ease, he let Zhang Shou go pitifully, but looked at himself, and Zhu Ying, who was awakened by the rooster in the countryside when he was in the middle of his fragrant dream early in the morning, couldn't help but snort angrily.

"Zhu Hong and Zhu Yi, of course I will tell them not to tell the eldest brother first, this mess on the ground in Cangzhou is enough for him to worry about. Okay, without further ado, it's been two days, it's time to go back to the city, let's go! ”

When she came, there was a kind of leisurely elegance and leisureliness of touring the mountains and rivers, but when she went, Zhu Ying's mood was not so high. After all, the hard work of rushing back and forth in the past two days, coupled with the fatigue of drilling holes yesterday, the conversation in the middle of the night was refreshing, and the rooster crowed early and regretted breaking his bowels...... If she hadn't been a little frightened by the long ride in the carriage, she would have gone straight into the carriage to catch up on sleep.

Even when she stopped at noon, she didn't show much interest in the pheasant that Ah Liu called, and said that it would be good to drink some thirst-quenching drink, until the old salted fish mentioned the pheasant and said that he was going to go to the dehairing barbecue, but Zhang Shou saw the lotus leaves in the pond not far away, and summoned the old salted fish to whisper for a while, but she still couldn't come back to her senses.

As a result, after a short time, the old salted fish shouted and shouted that his hands were hot, but he called Zhu Hong to help, and finally used a delicate plate to send a fragrant roast chicken, and she was groggy and woke up with the fragrance of lotus leaves.

Even though she didn't have much appetite, Zhu Ying unconsciously moved her index finger at this time, and when Zhang Shou tore two chicken legs and handed them over to her to eat, she felt that although the taste was light, it was delicious, so she glanced at Zhang Shou, and her mood was extremely good.

Even though she, the eldest lady, has been accustomed to countless people observing words and flattering since she was a child, but the sweetheart she really likes can also be considerate of her in every detail, which is always completely different.

used a simple version of the chicken to recall the spirit of the eldest lady, but Zhang Shou himself only ate a few bites casually, after all, his mouth was much more Diao than Zhu Ying. In the era when all the ingredients from all over the world can be served on the table, and the seasonings are so rich that they are dazzling, as long as they have money, they can definitely live more luxuriously than the emperors and princes of this year. Nowadays, most of them are pollution-free foods, but the variety is not rich enough.

When she set off again, she saw Zhu Ying curiously inquiring about the method of roasting chicken just now, even if she heard the old salted fish blowing nonsense there, she didn't even scold, Zhang Shou was sure that Emperor Taizu did not take the lead, so he smiled and said the allusion to the chicken. Of course, the beggar is still the beggar, Qian Qianyi is not Qian Qianyi, he casually found a character in the long history to come out to the top of the tank.

There is no doubt that when you see a beggar eating, you will go up and ask about the person who inquires about the practice, it has to be a foodie, and the celebrity who most fits the term foodie in history is naturally Su Dongpo.

Sure enough, Zhu Ying immediately believed it, but until she entered Cangzhou City and came to the Yamen of Changlu County, she was still struggling with an incredible question: "Su Dongpo really likes to eat...... But Dongpo meat and Dongpo elbow are very famous, and the lychees he praised are also well-known, why haven't I heard of the call of chemical chicken? ”

Hearing that his sister was back, Zhu Er, who hurriedly ran out to greet him, happened to hear this, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Shou, and when he found Zhang Shou smiling at the corner of his mouth, he immediately understood.

It must be that he seems to be obsessed with arithmetic, agriculture, astronomy, geography, and other disciplines...... In fact, his future brother-in-law, who is very good at pleasing girls, let Zhu Ying eat something that is not available in other places.

He knew that even the eldest brother couldn't be compared with Zhang Shou at this point, so he could only quickly divert the topic and said: "You guys have been in a hurry for the past three days, are you tired?" The sun is about to set, and the hot water is ready, so you all go back to the house and have a good rest, and then you will ...... again Hey? Who is this kid? Where did you bring a little monk back? ”

"What abduction!" Zhu Ying saw Guantao hiding behind the old salted fish, looking timid, she was really tired enough, she couldn't help yawning again, "Guantao hasn't officially shaved yet, it's just a little novice, this time I followed the old salted fish back, just to beat him to run errands or something." Don't look at his young age, he can read and write, and he can farm, but he is not an idle eater! ”

Zhang Shou saw the old salted fish nodding again and again with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but be stunned. When it comes to sailing, the old salted fish may be quite powerful, but when it comes to farming, this parallel import is probably not as good as such a child!

Zhu Er saw that the topic was crooked, so he hurriedly coughed heavily, and then diligently dragged Zhang Shou, who dismounted first, into the county office. As for his difficult sister, he felt that it was too difficult to please her, and he had completely given up. He walked all the way and whispered about the situation of his grabbing food from Zhang Chen to two streets to do research, and in the end, his voice was extremely low.

"In the whole Cangzhou, the reason why hypocrites like the Qi family can swagger so far is because every time there is a shortage of food in winter and spring, many people have to rely on them to give up porridge to survive. In the two streets I went, there were more than 100 people who were landless and unemployed, and more than 300 people who had no regular jobs and could only do odd jobs. With the help of Lao Xi by my eldest brother's side, there should not be much difference. ”
