Tian Kaifu clenched his fists, he couldn't say whether he was angry or ashamed, and his whole person was trembling faintly.

The Huns and the Zhou were about the same.

The Huns were enemy countries, and the Zhou were treated as slaves;

The Zhou people are their own people, and they treat the Zhou people as their compatriots;

Ruan Bai's conclusion is about the same.

Ruan Bai suddenly heard a sneer, and turned around to find that it was Tian Kaifu. His face, which was not very handsome, was already distorted, his eyes were slightly red, and two lines of tears suddenly hung without warning.

Maybe Ruan Bai stared at him for too long, Tian Kaifu finally realized that something was wrong with him, raised his hand to wipe his face, and sniffed vigorously, like a bullied child, not an adult who was coaxed.

Everyone was drinking porridge with their heads down, and they didn't have the time to chew and swallow slowly, and everyone almost poured it into their mouths as fast as they could. Ruan Bai didn't say anything, Tian Kaifu was nothing more than some worthless sympathy and pity, at most, he was under pressure to write about the living conditions of these craftsmen or all the auxiliary troops, but what use could it be?

Nguyen Bai didn't see any practical significance. The current situation cannot be solved by a simple excerpt or an official letter.

"Why don't you go and see somewhere else?"

Tian Kaifu took out a handkerchief and wiped his face vigorously, reluctantly recovering himself to his original state: "I have this intention in the next." After speaking, he arched his hand at Ruan Bai and walked in a random direction.

Ruan Bai didn't move, waiting for the craftsmen to eat, and continued to chat and fight.

At noon, Xu Wu came over. The craftsmen stopped talking in an instant, their heads were beating, and out of the corner of their eyes, they saw Ruan Bai leaving with Xu Wu, speculating about Ruan Bai's identity in their hearts.

Craftsmen are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Craftsmen with outstanding craftsmanship are all making zuò ordnance. Their treatment is better, at least they can eat a full meal, that is, they are guarded all day, and once they enter, they can basically only come out until they die. Of course, if they make a breakthrough in their craft, or develop better weapons, then they may be transferred to the capital as a prisoner. Their families will also move to the capital...... This is the best treatment that a craftsman can aspire to.

Craftsmen who are a little less skilled are responsible for making some auxiliary tools for war, such as rejecting horses, tripping horses, and so on.

Ruan Bai was a lowly-class craftsman just now, and his job on weekdays was to make and repair some daily utensils, and he mainly repaired them. The tasks assigned from above don't care how bad such a thing is, whether it can be repaired well. They only have to take back as many pieces as they send.

This is not necessarily because the above does not pay attention to human feelings, or the layman commands the insiders or something, but the materials at the border are too scarce, and even a little scrap material has to be used repeatedly.

For these craftsmen, a general flag is unattainable. They couldn't believe that they had just been on an equal footing with a "big man" who made the general flag respectful, and some of them even had a few arguments.

Xu Wu didn't give those craftsmen a second glance at all: "Lord Ruan, Lord Qianhu is waiting for you in the restaurant." ”

He walked forward with Ruan Bai all the way, his heart was worried, but he didn't dare to say anything. Many things are done on the spur of the moment. After he came back to his senses, he was in a cold sweat. The peace of the past few days has made him forget, and the young man in front of him is not lacking in means.

If he said that he also gave the credit for the safe return of those Zhou people who lived in the deserted post on his own thousands of households; But after getting along with each other during this time, he found that the bigger hero was Ruan Bai.

thought that Ruan Bai was young and had little knowledge, so he would be soft-hearted and agree to his request or something...... What did I think at the time?

There is only one restaurant in the entire Guancheng. Kang, which was popularized in the barracks, also appeared here, and some changes were made. The kang is shorter and more like underfloor heating.

Xu Wu didn't follow up, but pointed in a direction: "Lord Chu is there." ”

Noon didn't seem to be the point to eat, the whole restaurant was deserted, Ruan Bai saw Chu Hao at a glance, and turned back to Xu Wu before entering the door and said, "After a while, let your two brothers of the same clan come here to see me." ”

Xu Wuyi was stunned, and then there was a burst of joy. The ups and downs of the mood even made his nose sour: "Yes, my lord!" ”

The loud voice landed, and he immediately turned and ran away, apparently to call someone.

Ruan Bai paused, walked directly to Chu Hao, sat cross-legged on the kang, and waited for the meal upright.

Chu Hao waved his hand, and the shopkeeper opened a screen beside the two of them, and some pictures were carved on it, which was a little exquisite.

Chu Hao asked, "How is it?" ”

Ruan Bai looked a little weak: "No wonder you say no." "I didn't eat much breakfast, and I was busy all morning, so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back. He can endure hunger, but he won't be hungry to play.

Some brainless words, Chu Hao is easy to understand: "If it is an ordnance, it is probably not difficult." ”

Ruan Bai said "um", of course, the treatment of the military industry is different. Seeing that Chu Hao was still about to speak, he hurriedly made a gesture: "I'm so hungry, I'll talk about it after eating." ”

"Let you have a little bit for breakfast." Chu Hao frowned slightly, and then shouted outside, "Shop, if there is something first!" ”

"Alas!" The shop didn't dare to slack off, and soon served a bowl of hot soup.

Accompanied by the heat, the fishy smell of mutton came to the nostrils. It was a tempting taste for many people, Ruan Bai frowned when he smelled it, but he still drank it slowly. In the end, it is a business, in a bowl of mutton soup, there is no clear soup and little water, and there are still two or three pieces of mutton that have been stewed crisply.

The shop quickly served a few more cakes, not the pancakes that Ruan Bai and Li Niang had improved many times, the crust was thick black and burnt yellow, and there was a smell of burnt grain, but it was better than mutton soup.

Ruan Bai picked it up and tried to bite it, his teeth grinded on it, but there was a slight friction sound, and the cake didn't move at all. He put the cake back in front of him, raised his eyes to look at Chu Hao, who was hunched over his back and smiling, his brows furrowed slightly, and he pinched both sides of the cake with both hands and broke it slightly...... Push harder...... It wasn't until the third of the force was exerted that the cake finally made a "kala" sound and became two halves.

The bread that is bigger than the face is very sincere, and even if it is broken in half, it is still very hard. Of course, this can't stop a hungry person. Ruan Bai quickly broke the cake into bite-sized squares and threw them into the mutton soup to soak. After a while, pick it up with chopsticks and take a bite......

Chu Hao asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Ruan Bai swallowed the food in his mouth and put down his chopsticks: "It can fill your stomach." "I originally thought that the milk soup of the Huns had reached a certain level, this ...... Mutton steamed buns can reach such an unparalleled height with simple ingredients and seasonings......

For a moment, he had the illusion that he could conquer the whole world by opening a restaurant.

Chu Hao's food was no different, but before Ruan Bai lowered his head and took the second bite, he brought his soup bowl to him: "If you don't like it, don't eat it, I'll order noodles for you." ”

Ruan Bai always felt a little strange as he watched Chu Hao quickly eat what he had leftover. But he quickly shook off the strangeness.

The shopkeeper brought up the noodles, and a large pot was full. Chu Hao unceremoniously took half of it.

Before Ruan Bai could start to put down his chopsticks, he suddenly heard Xu Wu's scolding from outside, some distance, plus buildings and other obstacles, he only heard a few words, and looked up and asked Chu Hao: "Thieves with troops?" ”

"Some prisoners who have been confiscated." Chu Hao replied very briefly, urging, "Hurry up and eat, it will be cold in a while." "Even if there is a kang in the restaurant, it is just not so cold, and it is not warm at all. The food in the restaurant is just better than the barracks, but how can it compare to the barrage? It is certain that his second dog is not used to eating, he doesn't eat when it's hot, and it's even more unpalatable when it's cold.

Xu Wu seemed to have pinched the time, and when the two of them finished eating, he took his two clan brothers into the door and served two bowls of boiled water.

Ruan Bai drank slowly, cleared the strange taste of Chinese food in his mouth, and raised his eyes to look at the two tall and thin men beside Xu Wu.

The two men were somewhat similar to Xu Wu, their expressions looked a little nervous, their hair and face were still stained with a trace of moisture, and they didn't know how long they had been waiting outside, turning into a touch of white frost.

"What will you do?"

"Farming, hunting, building walls, building houses."

"A simple carpenter, too."

"And burn bricks."

"I can drive."

Ruan Bai listened to the two of them talk intermittently, and asked again: "Are you literate?" ”

The two of them choked slightly, and their whole faces were full of disappointment: "Back to the adult, the villain is illiterate." ”

Ruan Bai turned his head to look at Xu Wu. He didn't mean anything else, but vaguely felt that Xu Wu recognized a few words. But he didn't know that Xu Wuhui's words were taught by Chu Hao for time.

Chu Hao was born in the palace, even if the fire girl knows some words. To say that after he left home, the biggest inconvenience was not the food and clothing, but the illiterate people around him. So for the sake of convenience, he barely found the time to teach some basics.

"My lord! The villain is literate! ”

A man with half of his face tattooed suddenly rushed into the restaurant, hit the screen, knelt down heavily and kowtowed, and hissed in a hoarse voice: "Adult, the villain is literate, beg the adult to appreciate food." ”

Xu Wu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold on, and the screen that was swaying was struck, and he glared angrily at the man: "You thief with an army, you dare to rush into an adult!" ”
