Chapter Seventy-Five: The Gap
This first day of school can be described as no danger and no surprise.
With Huang Dalang's current studies and strength, it is naturally more than enough to cope with Wu Ting's schoolwork. As for the practice of martial arts, the school also knows that large families have their own tutors, so it is symbolic to do some basic physical training, if the level is up to standard or even exceeded, you can follow the practice differently, for example, you can use the bow of eight buckets to shoot a poplar card three inches long and two inches wide at fifteen steps away.
Huang Dalang, who knew this rule, also understood that this Cao Yanei was obviously not a straw bag!
And then...... It seems that there is nothing then, anyway, the school is closed on the 10th, 20th and 30th of the month, and the first day of the new year, and the legal holidays of the Song Dynasty are the same as the night, there is no winter and summer vacation, and if you want to take a long vacation, you need to take a long vacation a month in advance, and parents need to report in person for emergencies, go to school in the morning, and leave school in the afternoon.
As for the teacher's restraint and the tuition fee of the school, Uncle Yao Zheng took care of it, so he didn't have to worry about it. Of course, as a close disciple of Old Master Zhang, Huang Dalang still needs to go to Old Master Zhang's house to greet him on the first, twentieth, and thirtieth days of the new year.
Therefore, to put it simply, as long as Huang Dalang endures for a few more months, everything will only be until the day of Erlong's head in February next year to participate in the county examination and successfully enter the school, and there will be no need to continue to play with a group of classmates who are just in their early tens, although he himself is only in his early tens.
Therefore, Huang Dalang's daily life plan has also made small changes, getting up every day, practicing martial arts with Sun Lichen until two o'clock, then washing up and going out to school, and then following Sun Li to practice martial arts until dinner after school in the afternoon, and then reading books for an hour at night.
As for the arrangements at home, the old store and Shihui Street naturally don't have to worry about Huang Dalang, although Ye Dalong and they have all been replaced now, they don't care about making canned meat these days. After the canned meat is ready, Huang Dalang's plan is that they will also get up and exercise in the morning with Yi Yin, and after Huang Dalang goes to school, Sun Li will be responsible for teaching them simple reading and literacy in the morning, and Sun Xin will take them to boil up their bodies in the afternoon, and they will eat and study together in the evening, and the days will pass like this.
This went to school for several days in a row, and Cao Yanei also rubbed food for several days, but it also made Huang Dalang discover many of his secrets, such as he never brought a scholar and a servant, not without but let him blow away. And then he didn't know how to do the homework assigned by Wu Ting, but he didn't bother to answer, anyway, he was hit by ten bamboo boards, and he was basically in a fugue state during the daily class, and it was not difficult to analyze from the above Huang Dalang that his performance was like the helplessness of a guy who was shoehorned into the pile of children.
It's just that although this Cao Yanei laughs all day long, he secretly still refuses to be thousands of miles away, even if he rubs Huang Dalang's food every day, he still treats Huang Dalang as a little kid and disdains to make friends.
The day came to July 18, in addition to the end of Huangzhou City, it was also the day when the Sun family's family moved from Ezhou, Sun Li made more than 500 yuan to buy a three-entry mansion in the east of the city not far from Dinghui Courtyard, and settled a family.
His sister is also called Huang Dalang, twenty-five or six years old, and her appearance is also beautiful, her husband has no news after going to the northwest to serve in the army seven years ago, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, and the people of his husband's family are also dead, so he went back to his parents' house to live alone.
As for the martial arts, it's not something that Huang Dalang can see, but seeing that she has played all the way with mandarin duck double knives, she also has the momentum that the needle can't be pierced into the water and can't be splashed, and it is enough to let her be a female teacher, not to mention that there are Sun brothers as guarantors.
The only thing that made Huang Dalang happy was that there were several blacksmiths, armorers and shipwrights in the Sun family, who could make ordnance, armor and even warships, although he couldn't use it at the moment, but he still loosened his hand and took a thousand yuan to the Sun brothers, so that he could try to open a new ironcraft workshop in Huangzhou, and wanted to form an army that could resist the enemy army that could destroy the country, and ordnance was an important part that could not be bypassed!
However, the highlight of the day was to send Su Che on the road.
Looking down the river from the head of the Huangzhou water market, it can be seen that the river water is mixed with yellow, and the river wind is strong, pushing more than a dozen brown sails hanging with the battle flag of the Great Song Dynasty Navy to go down the river. Originally, the medium-sized passenger boat under Su Che's charter was replaced by a large naval warship with a bow of 300 materials, and after arriving in Hangzhou, it would be replaced by a flat warship that was convenient for sailing in the canal, all the way north along the canal and then west to Bianliang, Tokyo.
After several days of discussion between Su Che, Cao Zhizhou and his uncle, the strategy of reporting canned meat to the imperial court as a new type of military food was finally finalized, because compared with the "political achievements" of developing a new type of food, the "military merit" of developing a new type of military food is greater and richer.
It is not difficult to imagine that the imperial court sent the people to the front line to transport a live pig to the front line, not to mention how much it cost the soldiers to eat, the soldiers wanted to eat meat, they had to find someone to kill and cook, which took a lot of effort. But if the prepared canned meat can be transported to the front line by cart and boat, as long as the can is opened, you can eat delicious freshly ripe meat, not to mention how the military bigwigs in the Privy Council react, I think the officials who come to the household department will definitely want to play the crown and celebrate!
The Huang family started all the production capacity, this batch made a full 1,200 cans of canned meat and canned fruits, including 800 cans of meat, 400 cans of fruits, each can has been cooked at high temperature and carefully sealed, Huang Dalang also made a special wooden box filled with straw for packaging, in order to be foolproof.
And Cao Zhizhou is even more pretending to be public and private, and directly used the privilege to borrow a warship of 300 materials and a dozen bow boats from the Ezhou Navy to escort Su Che to Hangzhou as a car, he didn't dare to bet that Su Che could pass through Huanghuadang without danger in a passenger boat, even if he passed through Huanghuadang, there are more than 1,000 miles of waterways to Hangzhou, and no one knows what he will encounter.
When Su Che was sent away, Cao Zhizhou also hummed the ballad of "I want to go back to Bianliang" in his heart and left, and the matter of canned meat came to an end.
However, Kong Bo finally reported that the price of pork in Huangzhou City had risen, and it was two percent, and the plan to collect pigs and raise pigs must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise once the imperial court approved the canned meat and placed an order, he could not get the goods out, and the matter would be big.
When everything finally got on track, the sky gradually cooled down, and the days passed like a white horse, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.
However, during this period, there were two other things that caught Huang Dalang's attention, the first was that his strange dreams began to become less and less, and even many of his dreams were retrospective old dreams, and the dreams about new things became less and less, and the immortals in the Purple Mansion did not invite him to dream anymore. The second thing is that he found that there were monks who began to wander around his house and the old store Shihui Street and even the school hall on his way to school, he asked Granny Jia to know that during the Midyear Festival, there were monks from Dinghui Temple who wanted to come to the door to recite the scriptures and pray for blessings, but called the rooster general at home to stop at the door, and the chicken didn't know what was crazy, and he didn't let the monks enter the door, and even chased the monks for half a street when they left.
At that time, Huang Dalang was studying in the school, and when he returned home, Granny Jia regarded this incident as a collision with the monks, and she didn't say much for fear of annoying the Buddha, so no one in the Huang family knew.
If this matter were changed, others might regard it as anecdotal gossip, but Huang Dalang related this to the monk's stalking himself, but he didn't know why.
