The results of the exam are naturally happy and sad.

Xu Er was eliminated, and he was not happy in his heart, but he was still happy that his brother could be a post pawn.

He patted Xu Liu's shoulder: "Sixth son, do a good job, don't play tricks in the future." "When they competed, they still thought that if they could get a tie, they would each have a point; Now that I calm down and think about it, it's a pipe dream.

Ruan Bai didn't have any thoughts of comforting the "unsuccessful students". Even in modern times, all five people are already adults this time, and after being away for so many years, they should have the ability and responsibility to act independently. He is recruiting employees, not young masters. Will it be that when you see the Huns in the future, you will also let the enemy give them psychological counseling first?

So Ruan Bai settled the internship salary and announced the start of annual leave.

In fact, there is nothing at the post station now, and it doesn't matter whether you rest or not. Besides, now for the four people who "went to heaven", they are all excited, and they are not willing to let them rest. One by one, they rushed to work.

Winters in the northwest are cold and dry, adobe houses are easily covered with dust, there are no glass windows, the weather is cold, and the doors and windows are only open for a while during the day to breathe, and the rest of the time the houses are dark, and in some places torches are needed.

Approaching the Chinese New Year, everyone said goodbye to the state of wanting to get together, opened the doors and windows straight, and cleaned all kinds of things. The house was repaired in a hurry, and now it is a little shrunk, and there are small cracks in some places, and if the snow accumulates, the temperature in the house is high, and when the snow layer on it melts, it is likely that the snow will leak into the house through these lines. At that time, it will not be a texture, it will directly become a crack.

Ruan Bai thought back to Leyang Station, and found that the fifth-class post was also made of adobe bricks, and grabbed Tian Kaifu with one hand: "What are you busy doing, don't make a mess." "The eldest young master who doesn't touch the spring water with his ten fingers, a rich and noble son who is more pampered than Chu Hao, it is difficult for him to go out without even a scholar.

Tian Kaifu was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by adding chaos? "At least he's not afraid of cold water, and the rag is still very dry!

Ruan Bai shook the rag he was holding in his hand, and the dirt on it was clearly visible, and pouted: "You can't even rub a rag clean, don't wipe it more and more dirty." ”

Li Niang happened to pass by, grabbed the rag directly, and said with a smile: "Cleaning is a matter of our woman's house, so the two adults should go to the study to talk." The study has been cleaned out. ”

The two people who were disgusted and in the way were driven into the study. Ruan Bai finally thought that this person was still his enlightenment teacher, so he quickly put on a look of respecting the teacher, and asked respectfully: "The student has something to understand, please ask Mr. to solve the doubt." ”

Mr. Tian glanced sideways and snorted: "Okay, okay, ask questions quickly, and there are no outsiders, what is the fake serious." ”

"Oh. Then I'll ask. There was no heating in the house at all, and Ruan Bai began to slowly circle around the house, "Can I build a post station out of bricks?" "Without glass, it's really hard to solve the problem of lighting, but brick and wood structures are easier to open windows than adobe houses. There is no way to do it in rainy weather, at least when the weather is good, the indoor lighting can still be guaranteed.

Tian Kaifu didn't have to think about it: "It can be, but where did you get the money?" How much can it give you? You don't necessarily have to post your own money, do you? ”

"Hmm...... It's no problem, anyway, the sixth-class post is not that big in total, even if you post it yourself, it's nothing. After the post station was built, I had to move there, and the place where I lived was always comfortable, and the brick house was easy to clean. "There are so many businessmen around, and there is no way to make money.

The bitter cold in the northwest does not mean that it is barren, in fact, the fur medicinal materials in the northwest and so on, there are a lot of transactions every year. And this trading volume is far from meeting the demand of the market. Chu Hao relied on this product, just using a small businessman, to earn to supplement the daily needs of an army of 100 people. These products are still raw materials, and only a very small number of them will have some rough processing.

In Ruan Bai's eyes, such a state is simply a silver thrown all over the ground, and no one has picked it up yet!

Tian Kaifu nodded: "You just have an idea in your heart." If anyone dares to be crooked, you sue me, and I will go straight to the fold. ”

What a cow! Ruan Bai blinked his eyes, thinking of the issue he had considered before about occupying the height of public opinion. He even put the professionals in front of him and didn't take advantage of them, which is simply a tyrannical thing.

"Brother Tian, what do you usually do?"

The young man's eyes full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge did not let Tian Kaifu take off his guard, but silently guarded. In the past few months, they have all told him that if Ruan Bai is regarded as an ordinary fifteen-year-old boy, he will be sold immediately and help him count the money. But he thought about it carefully three times, and he didn't find any traps in Ruan Bai's problem, and there was nothing unspeakable, so he told the truth: "Admonish the Son of Heaven, go down to inspect the hundred officials, set things right, and clean up the source." ”

"Oh." Anyway, it probably means that the road is uneven. Ruan Bai nodded: "Brother Tian, have you ever thought about ......?"

As soon as he heard Ruan Bai's beginning, Tian Kaifu jumped away like a rabbit, and the speed was so fast that Ruan Bai didn't catch it: "I didn't think about it, I didn't think about anything!" ”

Ruan Bai was stunned and watched Tian Kaifu run away.

Chu Hao hung upside down from the window like a big bat, looked at Ruan Bai and smiled: "Look what you scared people into?" ”

Ruan Bai walked to the window and looked at Chu Hao maintaining an upside-down posture, a little worried: "Won't you fall off like this?" He was very worried about the quality of the house now, and Chu Hao's weight was not light, wouldn't he knock off the eaves if he hung it like this?

Chu Hao thought that Ruan Bai was worried about himself, but his heart suddenly became sweet, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, it won't." He looked at the sky and explained, "Don't stand at the window, it's cold here." I checked the roof and came down. ”

"Okay, then I'll go get dinner ready." After returning from the calamity, this Spring Festival must be well enjoyed, even if he knows that no matter how delicious and hearty the meal is, there will definitely be people who will not know how to eat it.

Thinking of relatives during the festive season is the same for those who have left their hometowns, let alone these people who are guarding their homeland, but waiting for their relatives who are destined to never see each other again and whose whereabouts are unknown.

He is now an official, and he has Chu Hao and Tian Kaifu's channels behind him, he has met Cao Da a few times, and occasionally he will talk about this military disaster, and the scale is larger than in previous years. In the past, although the Hungarians also entered the Guannai, they rarely killed people or set fires.

Although the people want to leave this place, they can't move freely without a special reason, let alone relocate? They can only continue to survive in this place from generation to generation.

But this year's situation is that there is no way to survive, let alone multiply.

Ruan Bai sighed inwardly and took Aunt Yun and Aunt Ma to make spring roll wrappers one by one. The two girls were curious and didn't know what spring rolls were.

Yun Gu even said: "Just have dumplings to eat during the New Year." What we usually eat now is better than the New Year, don't toss. ”

Aunt Ma is still young, and her eyes are full of curiosity, but she also stammered and persuaded: "More than 20 people...... A lot of dumplings...... It's a lot. ”

Of course, Ruan Bai knew that there were so many people, whether male or female, that the amount of food was not small. There is no oil and water in people's stomachs, and they have to do so many things every day, and no amount of food they eat is enough to stick to the fat. After a few months, the only thing that can be seen is that it is not that it has grown flesh, but that its skin and complexion have improved a lot, although it is still thin, but it is not the kind of person who will fall down at any time.

Ruan Bai was bitter in his heart, but he smiled on his face: "What's more?" It's time for everyone to do it together! Besides, it's rare to celebrate the New Year, so let's eat something fresh. ”

Yun Gu laughed: "Master, don't let them come together, don't say it's rolling the skin and mixing the stuffing, even if it's dumplings, I don't think half of the people can't make dumplings." ”

"I won't go to school. Eat your own wrapping. "When he first started living alone, he was miserable, he didn't know anything, and he didn't come here just like that.

As soon as Tian Kaifu stepped into the kitchen with one foot, he couldn't help but ...... when he heard such a cruel decision. The face is expressionless.

As soon as Ruan Bai saw Tian Kaifu enter the door, he squeezed his eyes and smiled: "Brother Tian, are you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what?" Although he has never cooked, he is just a dumpling, and he thinks he has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth...... It's a little bit worse, can't you still get a dumpling?!

Ruan Bai wiped his hands clean, patted Tian Kaifu's shoulder, encouraged and affirmed: "Young people have ambition, continue to keep it!" ”

Tian Kaifu was also not polite, and probed his brain next to Ruan Bai: "I'm hungry, what are you doing?" ”

"Spring rolls." Ruan Bai replied, "Let's fry a few spring rolls and eat them in the evening." ”

Tian Kaifu had never seen anything unpalatable from Ruan Bai's hands, so he pointed: "Fry a few now." ”

Ruan Bai looked at the time, and felt about the same, anyway, these things I got today were for tasting, and it was nothing earlier.

"Okay, then you can wait a minute."

The filling is very simple, stir-fry shredded pork with leeks, and then thicken with starch. The taste of leeks is very domineering, those who don't like it feel stinky, and those who like it feel extraordinarily fragrant.

Tian Kaifu didn't mind at all, touched his stomach, and patiently watched Ruan Bai wrap the filling into a thin transparent skin, and then put it in the oil pan to fry.

Their life is already good, but they usually feel luxurious when stir-frying, let alone frying in this big oil pan.

Yun Gu looked distressed and frowned, thinking that young people would not live, but thinking that it was rare to celebrate the New Year, she sighed and put it down.

The skin of the spring rolls is thin, and the filling inside is already cooked, and it is fried until golden brown and then sandwiched. Ruan Bai gave Tian Kaifu one: "Special preferential treatment, be careful to burn." ”

As usual, the people in the kitchen have priority to eat, and each person is given one. Because there was a reminder in advance, everyone ate carefully, the crispy skin cracked open, and the hot filling inside flowed out, and before it could be eaten in the mouth, the salty and fragrant taste was enough to make people drool. Especially on such a cold day, eating such hot food makes me feel extra warm.

In just a few moments, it was completely dark outside. The crowd who were busy elsewhere could only pause their work, pack up their belongings, close the doors and windows, and smell the smell before they even entered the kitchen.

Chu Hao was furious: "You guys are stealing food again!" "Don't take him with you yet!
