He wiped his eyes, yes, it was indeed the tofu Shih Tzu Zhang, standing in front of him and looking at him.

She hadn't looked at him since she had kissed her last time, and he was a stranger.

She actually knocked on his door, which was the first time in the world, which flattered him a little and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Zhang quickly glanced at the wound on his lips that had been bitten by her, and without saying a word, handed him a few pieces of tofu cakes in his hand.

Zhen Mingkuan hurriedly took it, and Zhang turned around without saying a word, leading the little donkey to her source.

Zhen Mingku was a little stunned, and looked down at the tofu cake in his hand, which was a few fermented bean cakes made of tofu residue, which smelled a little like stinky tofu.

Although this kind of tofu cake doesn't smell very good, it tastes very fragrant, and it is a snack he must order every time he goes to drink soy milk.

Looking at Zhang's distant back, he suddenly turned around and ran back to the house, took a small bamboo basket from the house, caught up with Zhang, and handed the basket over.

Zhang looked at him with a puzzled expression, he smiled and said, "This is a pastry I specially made, I wanted to give it to you to taste, but you have been ignoring me, and I am embarrassed to disturb you." ”

Zhang glanced down at the golden Portuguese egg tart in the bamboo basket, reached out to take it, and whispered, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, by the way, can I still drink soy milk at your tofu stall in the future?"

Zhang nodded lightly and led the little donkey into her yard.

Zhen Mingku turned around and returned home, closed the gate of the yard, leaned his back against the gate, looked at his favorite tofu cake in his hand, and said to himself: "Why are you suddenly willing to take care of me again?" ”

……

The deadline for refining alloys is approaching day by day, but there is not even a shadow of the alloy, Zhen Mingku doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and spends most of his time tinkering with some drawings that others can't understand, and firing glassware.

According to his requirements every day, Feilong sent some ore materials to the blacksmith shop, what refractory materials, catalysts, coke, concentrated acids and the like, some things Feilong had never even heard of, Zhen Mingku also took the trouble to explain to him, every time Feilong asked what was the use of finding these materials, he just said to test the test.

Every day after finishing work from the blacksmith shop, Zhen Mingku went to Zhang's tofu stall to drink a bowl of soy milk, and then slept on the river embankment.

Zhang's family no longer goes to the Wuliang King to buy soybeans, and every few days, someone will secretly put a bag of soybeans at the door of her yard.

She will also leave the money to buy soybeans at the door the next day, sometimes although it will be less, but she will always make up for it afterwards, and there is no arrears.

That night, Zhen Mingku had just put a bag of soybeans at the gate of the courtyard of Zhang's residence, when a huge figure ran over from the far side of the alley panting, and shouted anxiously: "Brother Zhen, Sun Langzhong asked you to go over quickly!" ”

When he ran to him, Zhen Ming asked bitterly, "What's wrong?" ”

The fat dragon was sweating profusely, panting like a cow, and said breathlessly: "I don't know very well, it seems that something happened to Sister Yue'er, Sun Langzhong is in a hurry, let you hurry over and take a look!" ”

At this time, it was already about eight o'clock in the evening, it was already dark, there was at least a dozen kilometers from the south of the city to the north of the city, it was difficult to walk at night, and the post station on the street had already closed, so it was impossible to rent a carriage.

Zhen Mingku turned his head and glanced at the gate of the courtyard of Zhang's residence,

He walked over to the door and knocked lightly.

Zhang's nice voice came from inside: "Who is it?" ”

"It's me."

Zhang asked through the door, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I'm sorry, boss, can I borrow your donkey cart, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I want to go to the north of the city, and I need to bring something over."

The door opened, and Zhang looked at Zhen Mingku with a puzzled expression, and when she found that there was a huge fat man standing next to Zhen Mingku, she looked panicked.

Zhen Mingku hurriedly said: "You don't have to be afraid, this is my friend Feilong, I will definitely return the car to you tomorrow morning, here is a tael of silver, even if it is the rent I gave you." ”

As he spoke, he took a tael of silver from his bosom and handed it to her.

Zhang hesitated a little and glanced back at the house behind her, at this time, Old Man Song's room was still dark.

Seeing this, Zhen Mingku took out a tael of silver from his bosom and said, "If your father-in-law asks, you say that you rented out the donkey cart and give him the silver, and he won't blame you." ”

When Zhang heard this, his face turned red, as if someone had seen through his heart, and he lowered his head and said, "I don't want your silver." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the donkey cart in the yard, untied the reins, slowly pulled the cart out, handed the reins to Zhen Mingku's hands, and whispered, "I'm going to open the stall tomorrow morning." ”

"Don't worry, I'll send you back tonight...... Fat Dragon, hurry up. Zhen Ming thanked her bitterly, and was about to leave with the donkey cart, Feilong touched him with his hand and asked, "Brother Zhen, will you drive the donkey cart?" ”

"Huh?" Zhen Ming was stunned for a moment, "Do you need skills to drive a donkey cart?" ”

The fat dragon cried with a sad face: "You haven't driven the donkey cart, this night road is difficult to walk, the donkey is strong, you don't know its temperament, even if you don't leave you halfway, it is estimated that when you reach the north of the city, the sky is bright." ”

Zhen Mingku turned his head again and looked at Zhang, who was closing the gate of the courtyard......

……

The little donkey cart was rushing towards the north of the city at a rapid speed of ten kilometers per hour, which was already the fastest speed for a small donkey cart.

The car was carrying more than a dozen glass products, and the glass products contained transparent liquids, Zhang sat in the car to catch the car, and Zhen Mingji sat in the back of the car at the back of the donkey cart.

Because the fat dragon was overweight, the little donkey couldn't bear it, so Zhen let him stay in the city.

There were no people on the streets of Luoyang at night, and after the curfew, the cars could no longer pass, and they had to leave the city before the hour, otherwise they would never be able to get out again.

From time to time on the road, the city patrol cavalry stopped them, inquired about them, and when they saw those strange glass products on the car, they had to stop and inquire carefully, if it weren't for Zhen Mingku's silver one by one, the car would have been intercepted long ago.

Finally got out of the city, the mountain road outside the north of the city was rugged, and the donkey cart was difficult to walk, so Zhang also got out of the car, led the little black donkey in front and walked slowly, and Zhen Mingku pushed hard in the back.

More than an hour later, the little donkey cart stopped outside the gate of Sun Langzhong's grass house.

At this time, Zhen Mingku's life was already sweating.

Zhang Shi glanced back at Zhen Mingku, and said, "You take your things down, I'm going back." ”

Zhen Mingku hurriedly said: "Thank you, but I don't feel at ease when you go back alone, or you go into the house to have a cup of tea, wait for me for a while, I'll put my things down and see what happened, if it's nothing important, I'll go back with you in a while, what do you think?" ”

Zhang looked up at the sky, only to see that the dark clouds in the sky covered the moonlight, the road was dark, and the howl of a wild wolf was faintly heard in the valley.

When she came, because she knew that Zhen Mingku had been following behind her, Zhen Mingku also talked to her from time to time without a word, so that she would not think about anything else, and now let her go back alone in the dark, she really didn't have the guts.

She hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Then you have to hurry, you won't be able to enter the city after a while." ”

At this time, Sun Langzhong, who heard the sound of the donkey cart outside the door, opened the gate of the courtyard and walked out of it, followed by Huan'er with red eyes, obviously just cried.

Zhen Mingku and the others greeted him, Zhen Mingku introduced the Zhang family to Sun Langzhong a little, Sun Langzhong thanked the three of them, and hurriedly led a few people into the house.
