Chapter 22: Sweeping the Floor

Chu Hao quietly entered Ruan Bai's room, thinking that he would see Ergou laughing in private, but he found that Ruan Bai was not alone.

Not alone!

Chu Hao was immediately angry, but he also felt that he was inexplicably angry, and paused at the door for a while, barely suppressing his anger, before pushing open the door: "Second brother, why don't you go to dinner yet?" ”

People's habits will change, and the people who originally lived in the desert post had two meals a day, except for Ruan Bai and the sick. But now, everyone follows Ruan Bai for three meals a day, and many days have not passed.

Even Hu Laoliu, who had stayed in the desert post for a few days, was already accustomed to such a routine. With the middle meal, he still didn't feel hungry, and now that it was getting dark, he didn't even notice that it was late.

When Hu Laoliu heard Chu Hao's words, he immediately got down from the kang and saluted him. Not to mention that this is now a thousand households, even the previous hundred households, he can't afford to offend. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all, and even being able to directly contact an adult like Chu Hao was something he couldn't have imagined before. This qiē is all this old man Ruan...... No, it's time to ask Lord Ruan to bring it.

He came today for nothing but the first batch of black stones...... Coal, has arrived. Now it is difficult to walk on the cold road, and a total of 36 trucks have been transported. He was wondering if he could get a little bit of coal out of this Ruan's mouth. This adult doesn't necessarily have nothing to do to spend so much money, right? Although this coal is all over the West Plains, it costs money for people to pick it up, and the freight cost is even more than a lot all the way.

Of course, Ruan Bai knew Hu Laoliu's thoughts, and he didn't plan to hide the use of coal, but now the open-pit coal mine is okay, if it is changed...... In the past, there were many accidents in coal mines. Everything had to wait for him to see it first, and it had to wait for him to make some money quietly.

The bitter cold land of the northwest is not something to talk about casually. He didn't want to put down roots here. His ideal is very vulgar, nothing more than facing the sea and blooming in spring.

It's still in the kitchen--cafeteria, and this time it's obviously the largest number of people. Long tables and benches were placed next to each other, barely enough for so many people to sit. Except for the sick number, who can only drink porridge, the rest of the people are the same - sauerkraut meat buns, minced meat and tofu soup.

The Praetorian Guard Qianhu ate ten steamed buns and two bowls of soup in one go, and the third bowl of soup was left at the bottom of a bowl, and he took a spoon and pretended to scoop and drink.

He has eaten tofu, which is not unusual. The strange thing is that this soup is thick, like a thickly boiled porridge.

Xiao Xizi has never eaten it either. He mixes well in the palace, and he has a good relationship with the royal chefs, and he often misses something to eat. But this kind of soup, he has never drunk.

In fact, Ruan Bai asked people to make some cornstarch with mung beans, and thickened it when cooking the soup.

Since leaving Beijing, the first satisfying meal.

Xiao Xizi blushed when he ate, and the thousands of guards also blushed when he ate, so he remembered that this was not a post station, but a house for ordinary people who had gone through hardships. According to the price of goods in the capital, Xiao Xizi collected money from all the Praetorian Guards, multiplied it by five, and handed it to Ruan Bai.

"Lord Ruan, these are today's meal money, and there is also a reluctant invitation. The Sprinkle family wants you to bother to prepare some dry food to eat on the way back to Beijing. ”

What's wrong with that. Ruan Bai agreed: "I don't know when everyone will return to Beijing?" ”

"Tomorrow morning." After the matter is done, of course, you have to leave early, otherwise the current military department Shangshu can fly to Shunyang Pass by himself.

Time was a bit tight, and I had to prepare all night. That's not a problem, there are a lot of them.

The tacit understanding cultivated from the grassland, coupled with the fact that most of them are ordinary people from poor backgrounds, there is no gentleman who has the idea of cooking, men chop vegetables and noodles, and women wash vegetables and pancakes.

If they are not skilled in steamed buns, everyone has practiced them. At that time in the grassland, they had to worry about encountering Huns and wild beasts every day, and the time to stop and cook every day was extremely limited.

In fact, if it weren't for Ruan Bai's insistence, they wouldn't even be willing to cook, and would rather eat it raw, just to seize the time to stay away from the dangerous grassland.

But now that there are conditions, and they are made for others to eat, they will obviously not be so unparticular as before, the baked cakes are fragrant, the skin is crispy and the inside is soft. It's a pity that those military masters can't eat hot pancakes.

Hu Lao Liu and two entourages helped pack on the side. There are three packs of pancakes, not to mention the two entourages who are used to it, even Hu Lao Liu was only slightly rusty for a while, and he immediately became extremely proficient.

"We used to sell steamed buns." Hu Lao Liu was sluggish when he was young, and his widowed mother brought him up alone, relying on selling steamed buns.

As soon as the businessman's chatterbox was opened, it was impossible to close it. Several young people from different backgrounds, but most of them ordinary people, were fooled by profiteers to laugh for a while and choke up for a while.

Ruan Bai didn't pay attention to the gang of people who listened to the play, he made dried tofu alone, and he made a little too much tofu before, and he couldn't put much in the soup. Originally, he planned to make tofu stuffed buns tomorrow, but now let's make them into dried tofu.

Tofu is a food that can be played with, and there are countless varieties of dried tofu. In addition to the money, Kiko left them a lot of spices and condiments, which he decided to use.

The next morning, before dawn, Xiao Xizi and the Praetorian Guards were ready to go, waiting for them were thickly boiled porridge and hot steamed buns. After quickly finishing breakfast, taking the packed dry food, everyone bowed their hands, got on the horse in unison, and ran away with the group of war horses in an instant.

Ruan Bai couldn't dodge, ate a mouth full of dust, and was wiped by Chu Hao's head and face.

In the small room, there were two big men crowded, and they would bump into each other if they pretended to be bodies, Ruan Bai was a little disgusted: "Isn't there a pankang in your barracks?" "Why do you come to him on time every day like coming home from work, to eat, drink and sleep? Besides, although he didn't have a special room for him here, there were many empty rooms, and he wanted to occupy a room for standard check-in, which was absolutely welcome.

For the first time, Chu Hao felt that Ruan Ergou's disgusted little eyes were particularly hurtful. Literary and artistic point of view is that I was originally devoted to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. It's not a literary statement, that's --

"Conscience for the dog!" Chu Hao snorted coldly, "Come here." ”

Ruan Bai looked at the distance between the two of them, they had already touched their feet, how could they "come over"?

Chu Hao tapped the kang with his chin.

Ruan Bai let out an "oh", rarely sat down obediently, and posed as if he was sitting upright, like a primary school student listening to the teacher's teaching.

At this time, Chu Hao had not yet understood a truth - if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

"The dormitory is a place to sleep, not a place to talk about things......"

Ruan Bai was half a beat slow to react, this bedroom is not the other bedroom. To put it simply, this feudal elite class believed that the bedroom was for sleeping, not for entertaining guests, and not for holding a sleeping meeting. But since this is not the place to talk about things, what is he doing now? Double standard?

Chu Hao saw Ruan Bai nodding again and again, and he didn't dare to say a word, and his authority as a big brother was greatly reflected; Seeing Ruan Bai's rare obedient appearance, he looked a little pitiful, touched his head in a soft voice and patted his shoulder and said, "Big brother is afraid that you have no heart to defend against others, what is that Hu Lao Liu?" How can a mere businessman be alone with you? ”

His second dog is too imprudent!

Ruan Bai nodded: "Understood." As Chu Hao said, Hu Laoliu is just a low-status businessman, not an official like Tian Kaifu or a eunuch like Xiao Xizi. This Da Zhou is not like his original era, how normal and common is it to go into the house on a cold day to talk about things?

Besides, if anyone has any bad intentions for him, it must be someone else. Regarding this, Ruan Bai is simply too confident. He decided to practice it immediately and show it to Chu Hao.

So, in less than a cup of tea, Chu Hao took his various changes of clothes and daily necessities, packed them and threw them out of the door.

Chu Hao was dumbfounded, then he was furious, and roared angrily: "Ruan! Two! Dog! Open the door! ”

Ruan Bai opened the door, looking like he was not allowed to enter his private territory: "What are you doing?" ”

"What are you doing?" It's against him! The stinky boy is used to being unorthodox by him, and he doesn't have a good lesson today, I don't know who is the boss in the family!

Ruan Bai said it: "You said it." ”

What did he say about him? Chu Hao was stunned, and when he saw that he was about to close the door again, he hurriedly stuffed the burden on his hand on him: "Brother will go to the barracks now, and I'll talk to you when I come back at night." "All night long, the male ghost can't see the light during the day, of course he has to go to sleep.

The whole Desert is quiet today. The people who were able to stay up all night last night were all working all night, and they were all engaged in physical labor. All the horses were taken away, and the barn was silent.

Ruan Bai fell asleep and felt a little cold, so he ran to carry the son and daughter of the third and fourth children into the bed.

Chu Qianhu, who came back early, lifted the quilt and revealed two dog heads.

"Uh......h Woof! ”

Chu Qianhu: "......"

Someone who was very vigilant was not aware of Chu Hao's arrival for half a minute, but the quilt was lifted and felt cold, and shrank inside.

On the big kang, a small lump. Chu Hao's anger that had been brewing for a whole day suddenly dispersed, and he muttered: "Forget it, what do you care about with a child." He taught it slowly, and slapped Ergou's ass lightly through the quilt, "I've beaten it." ”

He snatched the two puppies away with one hand, carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, closed the door, and raised the other hand to make a grabbing motion......

Big Fat: "Wang! ”

Chu Hao suddenly came back to his senses, what was he thinking just now?
