Chapter 60: The Old Man's Wisdom

"Okay." Pei Xingjian happily agreed, and then rushed out from Chunxiao's side, and followed Li Chengqian in a smoke, and did not forget to make a grimace at Chunxiao at the end.

"Brother Gao Ming, it's not true that you cut off your head, right?" Pei Xingjian, who turned his head, asked Li Chengqian very seriously.

"What head?" Li Chengqian asked puzzled.

"Huh? Did you forget? Pei Xingjian looked confused, thought for a while and said: "It's just that you said that you would cut off your head if you didn't squeeze out the oil for seven days." ”

"Damn, do you still remember? Didn't I say it was false that day? If Pei Xingjian didn't mention it, Li Chengqian would have forgotten about it at all.

"But Wang Wu and they were all about to be scared to death, and chased after my ass and asked all morning." Pei Xingjian suddenly felt that Wang Wu and Song San were simply stupid, and they were not as good as an old peasant in the countryside.

At least Zheng Laohan never asked Pei Xingjian about beheading, clearly knowing that Li Chengqian was scaring them.

"Okay, you can tell them for sure that they won't be beheaded even if they can't get it. Really, you're going to be stupid. Li Chengqian sighed and shook his head.

The village is not very large, and the oil mill is the tallest and largest shed in the village, but now the shed has been walled with wooden planks and turned into a large house.

And at the time when Li Chengqian and Pei Xingjian had a few words of dialogue, the group had already arrived in front of the oil mill.

"I've seen Your Highness." Wang Wu and Zheng Laohan, who were busy with construction, saw Li Chengqian coming from a long distance, and they were already waiting in front of the oil mill at the moment. Only Song Laosan was on the roof of the oil mill at this time and couldn't get up and down, so he could only jump up and down like a monkey in a hurry.

"Third child, busy with your going, nothing to do with you." Pei Xingjian saw Song Laosan scratching his ears and cheeks below, afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly stopped his movements.

"Uncle, how is it, the oil mill is about to be completed, right?" Exempting Zheng and Wang from giving gifts, Li Chengqian asked with a straight face.

"Back to Your Highness, what is being built now is the cage drawer, which is the one used for steaming bean cakes, if it goes well, it can almost be built tonight, and the construction can start tomorrow." Zheng Laohan did not have the casualness of the day before yesterday at this time, and said very cautiously.

"Uncle don't have to be so nervous, the words of cutting off his head the day before yesterday are really a joke, Gao Ming is here to compensate the uncle." After saying that, Li Chengqian solemnly saluted to the old man Zheng, and the old man didn't dare to say anything.

You must know that no matter when, scaring the old man is an unjustifiable thing, and even more so in the Tang Dynasty, if those imperial historians know what Li Chengqian did the day before yesterday, an unkind hat is afraid that he will have to carry it for a while.

"Your Highness, the old man knows that you are benevolent and righteous, so he passed on the old man's craftsmanship ......." Zheng Laohan has never even seen a county official in his life, and at this time, there is a prince by his side, and his speech has become nagging.

"Uncle, have the beans arrived?" Li Chengqian saw that the old man began to talk more and more outrageously, and he had already pulled to the tablet of immortality, so he hurriedly interrupted him.

"It's here, it was shipped yesterday, and it's all in the newly vacated warehouse over there." Zheng Laohan said, pointing to a house not far from the oil mill.

"Hmm." Li Chengqian nodded, agreed with Zheng Laohan's serious attitude, and said: "Uncle, after the oil is squeezed out, don't throw away the leftover beans, those are good things to feed the livestock." ”

"The old man understands that he won't throw it away. But, Your Highness, how much oil can this bean produce? Zheng Laohan asked tentatively.

Li Chengqian thought about it for a while, and then said: "This method is called ripe pressing, and the oil output is about four percent. ”

"One into four, a lot." Zheng Laohan nodded and said.

"Okay, uncle, you're busy, I'm going to come and see it today, so I'll go." Li Chengqian saw that more and more villagers stopped what they were doing, looked at them, and knew that it was time to leave.

"Wait a minute, you haven't even drunk your saliva." Although Zheng Laohan is a countryman, he is not unaware of the good things, Li Chengqian has always been very kind except for scaring him once the day before yesterday.

And when he first arrived here today, Li Chengqian also apologized for his behavior the day before yesterday, as a prince, he can do this, and he can't ask for anything more.

"No, I have other things to do, so let's go first. Leave! After that, Li Chengqian hugged his fist to Zheng Laohan, patted the 'bald king' beside him, turned around and walked outside the village.

"That's right." Old man Zheng seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his forehead violently, chased after Li Chengqian, and shouted: "Young Master Gaoming, wait for the old man." ”

Li Chengqian was small and didn't walk fast, Zheng Laohan quickly leaned behind him after him, and Wang Chenghu, who was frightened, grabbed the handle of the horizontal knife with his right hand and was about to pull out the knife.

Wang Chenghu's sudden movement startled Li Chengqian, but he immediately thought that the 'bald king' was worried about his safety. While lamenting Lao Wang's fuss, he slapped him his thigh to stop him from drawing the knife, and at the same time turned to look at Zheng Laohan who had caught up and asked, "Uncle, but what else is going on?" ”

"Your Highness, I wonder if there will be time to come back in three days?" Zheng Laohan didn't know that he had just turned around the Ghost Gate, and asked with a hint of hope in his eyes.

"Oh? Is there something wrong with the old man? Li Chengqian wondered why this old man from the countryside would invite a prince.

"Some time ago, a cow in the village broke its leg and has been reported to the county, it is estimated that there will be a batch of approvals in two or three days, and then please come down to eat beef." Zheng Laohan said.

"It's ......." Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the old man's hopeful eyes, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, it will be at noon in three days." ”

"Your Highness Xie, Your Highness Xie." After receiving Li Chengqian's reply, Zheng Laohan thanked him happily.

It wasn't until he left the village that Pei Xingjian, who had been following Li Chengqian, asked, "Brother Gao Ming, why did you agree to Uncle Zheng to eat beef?" ”

"Hmph, if I don't come, I'm afraid that this old man Zheng won't even be able to catch a cow's hair." Li Chengqian looked back at the village and said with a light snort.

"Why?" This is Chunxiao asking.

Li Chengqian did not answer Chunxiao immediately, but asked Pei Xingjian if he wanted to go back together, and after learning that he was going to stay for a while, he patted him on the shoulder and turned around and walked towards his carriage.

At the same time, he said to Chunxiao with a hint of mockery in his tone: "Now that the beef is so nervous, do you think those guys in Chang'an County will let go of this opportunity?" If there is no one with status in the town, then it is impossible to say who will end up with the cow. ”

Chunxiao was stunned for a moment, and then waved his small fist a little angrily and said, "It turns out that this old man is calculating His Highness, it's really hateful, so cunning." ”

Li Chengqian had already climbed into the car with the strength of Wang Chenghu at this time, waved his hand at Pei Xingjian, who was standing at the entrance of the village, and then leaned on the car box and whispered: "Hey, people are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery, rabbits are old and eagles are difficult to take." ”
