Chapter Thirty-Eight: Three Visits to the Thatched House
In the BC world, black powder was definitely a high-tech product. Yun Xiao believes that it can enjoy the safety vigilance standards of future generations of nuclear weapons. The surroundings of the cellar are absolutely three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, which is comparable to the XXX project of later generations.
A dozen men worked in the cellar for three days before they were able to reload all the grenades and gunpowder crossbows. Yun Xiao was very careful in the whole process, and the bloody scene of the explosion of the firecracker workshop in later generations made Yun Xiao remember it vividly.
Sima Jizhu's searchlight worked very well, which kept the candles used for lighting far enough away from the gunpowder. Everyone was wearing masks, and no iron was allowed on them. Before entering the door, you have to go through a search, and when you go out, you have to go into a bathroom to take a shower and then change into another outfit and go out.
Drainage ditches were dug around the cellar very intimately, and the wild cow squatted at the mouth of the tunnel. Yun Xiao believed that no one could bypass him and enter this basement, and those who dared to rush into the basement would definitely be torn to shreds, and the invulnerable Jin Taibao was a role model.
took a shower happily, changed into a clean Hanfu, combed his hair and tied a ponytail in a chic manner. Yun Xiao now has a deep grudge against his long hair, because it is too hot in summer, and the stalk on the back of his neck often has prickly heat, which makes people very uncomfortable. If it weren't for everyone stopping him, Yun Xiao would have planned to shave off his hair several times.
I already have an idea in my heart, but the time has not yet come to endure it for a few days.
This time, I didn't buy gifts on the street, and only brought two jars of steamed wine from the Yun family.
This time I went to Wollongong again, it could be regarded as a three-way thatched house, and the three of them came to Wollongong on horseback. Geng Feng, who was herding cattle on the hillside, cheered when he saw Yun Xiao and ran down, and the downhill hill made him run faster and faster. Eventually, a dog snatched poop and fell to the ground. The mouth was full of blood. An already unstrong tooth slipped out of its mouth.
Tears rolled down from his big watery eyes, even so. The little one insisted on running to his friend for comfort.
Yun Xiao hurriedly took out a handkerchief, poured some water into the kettle, and wiped Geng Feng himself. Poor man. The little lips were cracked. Swollen like two sausages, Yun Xiao took out a bag of toffee, and then took out a bag of beef jerky and put it in his hand.
The front teeth were injured, but it did not prevent the molars on both sides from chewing delicious beef jerky. The delicious taste in his mouth quickly made up for the pain caused by the loss of teeth, and Geng Feng spoke to Yun Xiao with a leaky mouth. While shouting to ride a big horse, he couldn't resist this little man. Yun Xiao picked him up on the back of the horse and led him to the thatched cottage of the Geng family.
Geng Hong had already seen the clouds on the hillside, and Geng Feng's loud crying voice was enough to play the role of an alarm. When Yun Xiao came to the door of the cottage, Geng Hong was already waiting at the door. See Yun Xiao dismounted. He bowed and gave a salute.
"The master is resting, please wait for a while."
The tone is very different from the first time, and the demeanor is quite respectful.
Dai Yu was immediately angry, and according to the role selection, it is estimated that this guy and Zhang Fei have a fight. However, Dai Yu didn't mean to burn other people's houses, he just wanted to beat Geng Hong in front of him.
It was easy to stop Dai Yu, who was furious, and Yun Xiao and Geng Hong looked at each other and smiled. Geng Hong led Yun Xiao into the thatched hall, with only a few mats. Geng Hong made a gesture of please, and Yun Xiao sat on the ground according to the customs.
In fact, almost everyone in this day and age sits on the floor. Only Yun Xiao's family now has that kind of four-legged chair. However, as more and more people came to Yunxiao's house. Liu Cheng's home also has a chair, after all, kneeling on the ground is a very uncomfortable thing.
Geng Hong knelt at the back of the desk, his waist straight. The etiquette is so perfect that it's hard to imagine anyone in the countryside who knows so much about it.
"Mr. Geng is like a Confucian student."
Yun Xiao can't learn this kind of perverted kneeling. You can only sit cross-legged on the ground.
"In the past years, I studied arithmetic with Mr. Yan Ruxin in Huainan."
Yun Xiao's heart immediately blossomed, it turned out that this was still a student of his brother-in-law, so it would be easy to do. No, he called Master Geng a master. According to the habits of people in this era. Almost no one worships two teachers in succession. Unless there are special circumstances, could it be that I have encountered the situation of the envoy today?
"Oh. A few days ago, Yun Xiao heard you call Master Geng a family teacher. This ......"
"That's right, in fact, the Master Geng you call is the ancestor. But the Geng family has a strange rule. Geng's descendants have to learn crafts since they are sensible, and when they reach adulthood, they will worship their ancestors as masters. In private, we still call our ancestors. Only a child like Feng'er can be called grandpa in front of outsiders. ”
There are also such strange rules, which are really big in the world, and Yun Xiao thinks he is erudite, and such strange rules are unheard of.
"Actually, we are not outsiders, Yun Xiao's wife is the young daughter of Mr. Yan Qing. Your teacher is still my brother-in-law, so you are still a generation shorter than me. ”
Geng Hong was obviously taken aback, and opened his mouth to say, "Is this serious? ”
Yun Xiao couldn't help but smile dumbly, "This kind of thing can still be done, the Yan family Zhuangzi was destroyed during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion." Now the Yan family has moved into Guanzhong, and they are now in my fiefdom. If you have time, you might as well wait for me to return and go to Guanzhong together. ”
Geng Feng ran over and shouted, "Grandpa is awake, grandpa is awake." ”
Geng Hong's face was strange, "My ancestor used to take a nap before he woke up after half an hour, why did he ...... today?"
"I poked my grandfather's nose with a straw stick, and he woke up."
……
What a bear child, Yun Xiao admired from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't run, you kid, see if I don't spank your ass."
In the back hall, an old man with a white beard and hair rushed out, and his skills were very vigorous. Jumping and jumping to catch up with the running Geng Feng, this old man obviously loved this little doll very much. Pick it up from behind, then toss it up and reach out to catch it. It made Geng Feng squeak and giggle with laughter.
The grandfather and grandson laughed for a while, and the old man realized that there were still guests in the cottage. Let go of Geng Feng. He stepped forward and asked, "How many are ......?"
Yun Xiao only had a chance to look at the old man at this time. Put a straight face, a pair of eagle-sharp eyes. Two lying silkworm eyebrows lay across it. The nose is like a curved column, and the ears are large and wheeled. The slightly dark face is very ruddy, and he is full of air when he speaks. Plus a pair of five strands of long hair. It's really a fairy wind bone.
"Oh, this is the Marquis of Lintong, the general of Zhengnan." Geng Hong hurriedly introduced.
"Marquis of Lintong, the general of the expedition to the south"
Master Geng muttered in his mouth with a thoughtful look. It was as if searching in my mind to see if I really knew this dignitary. After making sure that he had never intersected with this nobleman, Master Geng asked strangely, "Dare to ask what happened to the Marquis of Lintong looking for Xiao Lao'er?" ”
"The kid was defeated in Yueyang a few days ago, and he learned from the pain in the camp, and designed a kind of warship according to the naval tactics. I would like to ask the old gentleman to correct one or two. After speaking, Yun Xiao asked Dai Yu to take out the drawings he had drawn. For such professionals, Yun Xiao knows less to play with them. Straight to the point, they're especially interested in the real thing.
Master Geng took the thick kraft paper used for drawing, and felt that he was careful to start it. It seems to be quite sturdy. Before the drawings were opened, they became interested in the paper, and the wrinkled veteran fumbled on it for a long time. Looks like a grandfather who caresses his grandson.
"What kind of material is this, I don't recognize it after living for more than 60 years."
"This is kraft paper made by the Yun family, which is specially used for drawing."
"Paper? Oh, the old man remembered. Some time ago, the king of Huainan sent some, which seemed to be quite valuable, but it was indeed a good material for writing, but it was too thin and brittle to withstand tearing. It looks like your paper is quite thick. ”
"Old man, the paper you are talking about is made by the Yun family. This is called kraft paper. It is specially used for drawing and writing precious materials. ”
"Yun family, oh remembered. The day before yesterday, I heard an old friend say that it was a young marquis in Guanzhong. His family's Zhuangzi is not only rich in products, but also often has strange things circulating. Especially the fine wine of his family. It has become the most sought-after thing in Chang'an. Wealthy businessmen are willing to buy an urn for a thousand gold, and the old man is just fascinated by it. ”
Yun Xiao's face was happy, it seems that the old man is also a good hand in the wine forest. Stretched out his hand and took a jar of Yun family's steamed wine. Take off the seal and pat the sealing mud with your hands. A strong aroma of wine wafted through the thatched hall.
Master Geng twitched his nose, his face intoxicated. Reach for the tea bowl. Splash the tea inside. Rinse it with water again, and then let Yun Xiao pour himself a bowl.
Kindness. He is worthy of being a good hand in the wine forest. Know how to clean your barware so that you can taste it for real.
I didn't dare to do too much, so I only poured half a bowl. Master Geng drained it in one gulp and exhaled heavily. The wrinkled face is getting more and more rosy.
"Good wine."
As soon as Master Geng handed over the wine bowl, Yun Xiao poured another half bowl.
"This wine is a bit strong, Yun Xiao brought two jars to the old gentleman, and asked the old gentleman to taste it slowly."
"Oh, you said your name was Yun ......"
As soon as the wine bowl was brought to his lips, he stopped again, and Master Geng asked himself with a puzzled face.
Damn, when Dai Yu introduced the relationship just now, this old guy didn't listen to it at all. Yun Xiao felt despised again.
"In Xia Yunxiao, this steamed wine and this paper are all from my family's Zhuangzi. If Mr. Geng likes it, Yunxiao will send a few more altars tomorrow. ”
Dai Yu has some urge to plant and beat people, but he has never seen such a big score. However, it seems that he has never seen Hou Ye respect anyone so much, except for Yan Qing, who is his father-in-law, of course, he must respect. This old man is just a craftsman. If he wants to work and send troops to capture Jiangdu, can he use so much effort?
Dai Yu thought that Hou Ye was completely taking off his pants and farting.
Since Hanxiong was put on the shelves, there have been four shifts per day and three thousand changes per day. To be honest, the Dragon King is indeed a little tired. But after yesterday's request for votes, I am not tired, because the dragon king feels recognized and respected. If you like Hanxiong, please vote for the Dragon King. In order to thank the friends who rewarded and voted for the monthly ticket, the Dragon King decided to extend the current update speed until the end of September. If there are more than 30 monthly passes, there will still be 10,000 monthly updates for the next month. (To be continued......)
