Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Cape
In Xizhou, a group of large trucks with the word "Xijing" printed on the board lined up in a warehouse. The handlebar type is in the shouting, the hands and feet are neatly untied to pull the horse and the cart, the smooth road surface is made of stone slabs, and the shape is compared with the Ministry of Industry's custom bureau in Chang'an. The size is two feet, and even if there is an error, it is also filled with masonry, which controls the variable of "thermal expansion and cold contraction".
On one side of the warehouse is a wooden fence wall, and there are many openings on the street, and most of the openings are the people in the workshop, selling business, etc., and most of them are homemade Chinese specialties.
Although tofu and mash are commonplace in Middle-earth, they are still in the "novelty" stage in Moxi. In particular, the tofu brain is even more likable, and Rao is a monk who is not very particular about food, and will also look for the best tofu brain, either with salt or sugar.
"Cui Niangzi, come to a bowl, add sugar, add more sugar."
"If you don't wait for Futu, this will hold a bowl."
There are few dried shrimps in the river, but this shrimp skin with pickles, about dried radish or dried bamboo shoots, etc., add shrimp skin, and sprinkle the shallots transplanted from the middle soil, and suddenly the salty fragrance overflows.
It's just a salty bowl, not a bald head, a tall rough man. Not to mention that he is bare-chested and exposed, but his clothes are very different from others, even if he is a merchant and trader who is also a Han Chinese, he is also very different from him.
"Captain, this short shirt looks like cotton?"
A merchant with a slender beard asked with a flattering smile.
"This material is cotton, local cotton."
After that, he sighed and poured a mouthful of tofu brain, and the sound of "hiss" was endless, he touched a few money, slapped it on the table, turned his head and said to a small servant, "Xiao Yi, go to Ma Wu to buy a few fritters." If there is fruit, spread a pancake and add more coriander. β
"Lang Jun don't stay, I'll go back."
The little guy was a young man, but he had long legs and tall legs, and he took steps and ran as if he were flying.
"Local cotton?"
The merchant's eyes narrowed, "Captain, there is still cotton in this Tulun moraine?" β
"What? Want to make this deal? Just wait. β
"Captain, talk to the villain?" As he spoke, the merchant hurriedly shouted across the street at a group of handlebar-style barbecue stalls on the opposite side, "Agul! Come on a legβ"
The Hu man on the opposite stall glanced at it, immediately smiled, shook his shoulders and shook his head.
This is not a disagreement, but a response. This Agul is a Hu person in a separate place, where the country style is chic, shaking his head means agreeing, nodding his head is refusing.
"Tai Wei, this is the villain's filial piety to Tai Wei."
A leg of mutton is nothing to the merchants who are messing around in Tulum. As long as it is a businessman in the Guannei, even if it is a foot businessman, he can come to the Western Regions, at least he still has a family background.
The rough man who was drinking tofu brain laughed: "You rammer, you don't look at the notice these days, but come here to investigate, can I still be more informed than the general?" Earn you a roast leg of lamb for nothing! β
While grinning, the rough man saw that a bald head actually added sugar to the tofu brain, and immediately shouted: "Great monk, if you add sugar, can you still eat it?" β
"The little monk is greedy for this sweet taste, and he is guilty of ...... sin"
Spit!
The rough man didn't look at the bald head, he wanted to vomit when he saw it, and he actually ate a tofu brain and added sugar.
"Lang Jun, fritters, pancakes."
The young man who had just gone out calmed down after a while. Ma Wu's frying stall is far away, because Ma is an oil merchant, and the oil warehouse is separated by a workshop. It's rare to run on two legs like this, and it's to buy an early meal.
"Bring the pancakes, the school is about to start."
"Yes, Lang Jun."
The little guy smiled, picked up the pancake and began to nibble, running while gnawing, the rough man saw it, and shouted in the stall: "How can anyone run with a pancake in his mouth when he goes to schoolββ"
As soon as the words fell, on the road next to him, there was another Xiaolang with a scone in his mouth, and the rough man was stunned. Before he came back to his senses, he saw a young man with a steamed bun in his mouth, running wildly as well.
"This early in the morning, have all changed dogs?"
Many teenagers have arrived at a camp, and they can already hear the voice of the boy one after another, reading "Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate", and there are also anxious middle-aged gentlemen, riding fast horses and carrying their bags, while handing over the horse to the porter, while shouting: "Mother, almost late!" β
When they arrived at the gatehouse, there were three soldiers in full force, two with spears and one with swords, and the swords had metal helmets.
The seal has only one word, to.
"Finally checked-in."
He shook his scarf and put his head on it as he walked. When I arrived at a hallway, there was a mirror at the entrance of the hallway, and it was a tin mirror. The gentleman, who was almost late, rushed to the mirror to make a final tidy-up, and after tidying up, he took a deep breath and calmly went to the other end of the hallway.
"Brother Wu, why are you so late today?"
"Oh, I ate a tofu brain on the road, you know, I'm a bad person, so I took a detour and found a shop where Chang'an sugar was placed."
"Brother Wu is exquisite."
"Exquisite, exquisite, ......"
The calm gentleman nodded, then packed up the package, took the textbooks and corrected homework, and walked towards the classroom with vigorous steps.
"Phew! Sweet tofu brain is only suitable for dogs! β
"Don't feed the dogs!"
"But he's the head of the grade......"
"That's right, I can only learn from the Mughutures."
The classrooms are large, and most of them are school-age teenagers. These teenagers have mastered a large number of Chinese characters, and unlike children, they still need to learn characters or recognize pinyin, but they are forcibly stuffed with a lot of "useless" knowledge.
Among them is Wu Hu, the senior director who teaches "geography", although he is "uninhibited", but this Wu Hu is also a disciple of the "Ten Thousand Miles" school, and his family is rich, even in his hometown in Suzhou, he also belongs to the local tyrant.
Wuhu is a branch of the Wu family in Suzhou, and later opened another door and moved to Changshu, so it is also called Changshu Wu. The door is a little higher than the Jiangshui Zhang family, and the Jiangshui Zhang family is divided into north and south, Changshu Wu is deeply cultivated in the local area, hard to grasp the agricultural mulberry. It was only in the past few years that I couldn't stand the impact and began to transform.
The Changshu Wu family, which has only been transformed for a few years, has 80,000 looms on hand, and more than 30,000 weaver girls who have signed a contract with the Wu family.
The head of the Wu family, to Wu Hu's generation, like Zhang De, is the three brothers, but Wu Hu is the second one, and he is not in charge of the family, so he seems to be "unruly".
Before Zhang De was ten years old, he met Wu Hu once.
"Class!"
"Ceremony!"
Wow! Regardless of the hus, the students all stood up straight and bowed.
"Sit down."
"Sit!"
The students were seated, and unlike the young monks in the temple, who liked to talk to each other, the learning atmosphere here was quite special. It's okay not to go to class, but once class, the giant man walking barefoot outside the classroom without a sound will make the whole school tremble.
It is useless for any gentleman in the entire school to intercede, once it is found that the student has "violated the rules", the giant man will come in, strip the student's clothes to the brim, and then use the rattan that has been studied for a long time, and beat him hard.
This kind of "low-level military regulations" management, not to mention the students, the professor's husband is trembling, but this is General Cheng's iron law, he doesn't dare to let go of half a fart.
It's not that there are no idiots who run their own prominent homes and go to Cheng Chubi to pretend to be forced, and the result is that this stupid guy was not only picked up, but also tied to a wooden stick and carried through the street. "The dignity of the family" was suddenly swept away, and Rao is lawsuit came to the front of the emperor, and in the end, the other party's whole family was fined together.
"I have good news for you today."
The students like Wu Hu very much, in addition to his well-informed, this gentleman is really chic, although he boasts that he is seen through every time, but even if it is exposed, Wu Hu will not be annoyed, but will laugh and continue next time.
"What good news, sir?"
"The camel team that will come to Moxi tomorrow will not only have 'Prince Sugar', but also Jiaozhou whale oil. I inquired about the teacher, and there may be some 'cape slaves'. β
"Is it south of the South China Sea?"
"Yes, there are two or three hundred. If any of you are still responsible for repairing canals and roads, it will be easier to buy a 'cape slave'. Nowadays, it is very difficult to catch Hulu, and the price is high, these 'Cape Slaves' are cheap, only half the price of the 'Turkic Slaves', and they have less to eat......"
The style of painting changed suddenly, and the giant man outside the classroom really couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to cough and look at Wu Hu: "Brother Yingxiong, it's almost enough." β
Wu Hu's old face turned red, and he picked up the lesson plan in shame and began to officially start the class.
It's really ...... Those "cape slaves" were all purchased by the Wu family themselves from Du Zhenglun.
Originally, Wu Hu thought that Lao Tzu was working in school, and what happened to his students to promote his own products and get results? If it weren't for the precedent before, one of the gentlemen who sold it was too high, and was beaten half to death later, Wu Hu would not have stopped immediately as soon as he was reminded.
"Traveling thousands of miles" is to ask for money, he used to use his family's money everywhere, and when he encountered an opportunity to benefit his family, it was rare to contribute, how could he let it go?
Besides, he didn't sell outside, he was all his own students......
Wu Hu wondered in his heart, should he mention to the students that this year's evaluation criteria for outstanding students should be added to whether he should buy Wu's brand "Cape Slave" when he assigns homework after class.
