Chapter 0398 - As for Your Craft?
After arriving in Pingyi County, he didn't have a good rest, and he had to force himself to act in a scene to help cover up the fact that Li Hui was not in Pingyi, and almost exhausted Feng Yong to death.
After two days of rest, I was relieved.
finally had some free time, so he went up the mountain to relax, but he didn't expect that Zhao Guang had been bombing in his ears again, which made him upset, and it was difficult not to beat people.
Except for Li Yi to stay in the Governor's Mansion and continue acting, Zhao Guang, Wang Xun and Yang Wan all followed.
The four of them stopped and went, and the few parts that had followed had already gone to the front to look for something.
Most of the rest of the tribes enclose the small peak at the bottom of the mountain.
Although there are currently no rebels in Pingyi County, who knows if a ranger will come out of which corner?
At this time, only a rustling sound could be heard from above, Feng Yong glared at Zhao Guang and said, "Silence! Someone came over. ”
"Feng Langjun, it's not far ahead. That Lu Laoliu said that there are more than a dozen poppy trees on this mountain, and there are two not far from the above. ”
After a while, Feng Yong's head of the subordinate, Old Soldier Lu, appeared in front of several people and said to Feng Yong.
Feng Yong nodded and said, "Let's go, go up and take a look." ”
A few people climbed up for a while, and saw that there was a relatively flat place, and several parts were standing in all directions, and an old man in shabby clothes and gray hair was standing in front of a small tree.
When the old man saw Feng Yong coming, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Feng Langjun, do you see if it's this tree?" ”
Feng Yong stepped forward and saw that the tree was only three or four meters high, the trunk was not large, the leaves were oval, the tips were short and pointed, many branches hung down less than a meter from the ground, and there were some small blue-green cones hanging on the branches.
The skin of the fruit is smooth, and there is a small spike on the bottom.
You can even see one or two white petals occasionally under the tree.
Seeing that Zhao Guang stretched out his hand to pick a fruit, ready to put it in his mouth to taste it, Feng Yong hurriedly shouted: "That can't be eaten!" ”
"Can't eat it? What did the brother do with it? Zhao Guang asked strangely, "I thought my brother was looking for some wild fruits in the mountains to try." ”
"You put it down first!" Feng Yong shouted, "This fruit is poisonous, if you want to die, you can eat it!" ”
Yang Wan, who was on the side, took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, and hurriedly threw the fruit in his hand quietly.
"Poisonous?" When Zhao Guang heard this, he was so frightened that he threw the fruit far away, "What is my brother doing looking for such poisonous fruits?" ”
Feng Yong looked at Zhao Guang and frightened him, and he didn't answer his words, but just turned around and looked at the tree carefully.
The appearance of this tree is still different from that of the Hereafter.
In later generations, the tree grew taller and more luxuriant.
If it weren't for the fact that its fruit was similar to that of the later generations, Feng Yong wouldn't be sure that it was what he was looking for.
He plucked a fruit, took out the dagger he had with him, and carefully cut open the small fruit, revealing that there were only three unripe seeds inside.
However, the appearance of the seed is similar to that of later generations.
Feng Yong smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, this is it." ”
In order to make this kind grow well and bear more fruit in later generations, it is necessary to fertilize and weed it from time to time and take care of it carefully.
The soil on this mountain is already poor, and it is normal to be more malnourished than the trees that were specially planted in later generations.
Of course, it is more likely that the later varieties were improved and preferred, and this is the original variety, so it is smaller and the fruit is sparse and sparse.
Glancing at the old man, Feng Yong asked, "On the hill of leveling, are there many such trees?" ”
The old man replied, "Back to Feng Langjun, there are quite a few, almost every hill has a few, and many even have more than a dozen. ”
Feng Yong smiled, "No wonder. It seems that your family's unique craft of making oil umbrellas is also thanks to these trees, right? ”
When the old man heard this, his expression changed greatly, he took two steps back vigilantly, and subconsciously made a defensive posture, and at the same time glanced at Old Man Lu.
"Boom!"
Seeing that the old man's movements were wrong, Zhao Guang had already pulled out his sword directly, and the cold light flashed, and without saying a word, he stepped forward to be a sword!
Wang Xun reacted equally quickly, pulled out his saber and covered in front of Feng Yong, and at the same time faintly attacked Zhao Guangyin, and then pointed his long knife at Old Pawn Lu and shouted, "Don't move!" ”
Yang Wan immediately stood behind Feng Yong, vigilantly looking around to prevent someone from rushing over from somewhere else.
The subordinates reacted a step slower, but after Zhao Guang stabbed out the sword, they had already drawn their weapons one after another, scattered into a circle, and protected Feng Yong in the middle.
Old Pawn Lu was the fastest to respond in the trilogy, who knew that he had only subconsciously taken a step, and saw Wang Xundao pointing at him, so he remembered something, and couldn't help but sigh, put down the weapon in his hand, and withdrew from the guard circle.
The old man over there only had a wooden stick in his hand that was carrying up the mountain, and when he saw Zhao Guang's sword stabbing over, where did he dare to block it, he rolled down and avoided it.
He was about to think about running away, but Old Pawn Lu shouted, "Old Sixth Lu, if you ignore your family and those old brothers, then you will run!" ”
The old man's body suddenly slammed into his body, and then he stood still.
The tip of Zhao Guang's sword was as high as his vest, almost piercing his body.
However, after all, he is a character who has escaped from Zhao Yun's stick countless times, and his uncle is Ma Chao.
The Ma family's swordsmanship "out of the way", that is famous.
Now this old lady spoils him again, so he has a bit of true inheritance, seeing the old man standing still, he immediately "smacked" and drew the sword in a direction, directly on the old man's neck.
These people's movements are long talking, but between the ups and downs, it's just a matter of a few breaths.
On the contrary, Feng Tuqiu, the core of the crowd, looked confused.
Because he hadn't reacted to what was happening.
"Uncle, you are also surnamed Lu, so you brought someone over to take my family's craftsmanship?"
The old man who was called Lu Lao Liu ignored the cold blade sword on the side of his neck, slowly turned around, let the sword cut a hole, looked at Lu Lao Lao with angry eyes, and said through gritted teeth.
Old Man Lu looked at Feng Yong with a wry smile, and then at the old man, "This is a misunderstanding." ”
"What happened?"
Feng Yong only came back to his senses from his stunned state at this time, and asked strangely, "Yiwen, is there something wrong with this old man?" ”
"Brother, the younger brother saw that this old man's expression was wrong, and he made some movements in his hands, so he made a preemptive strike."
Zhao Guang's sword did not leave Lu Laoliu's neck in the slightest.
This Lu Lao Liu was introduced by Lu Lao Paw, and I heard that the two of them are still of the same clan, so Feng Yong looked at Lu Lao Lao with an inquiring gaze, "Oh? What's the misunderstanding? ”
"The villain's nephew is a man who has never seen the world, and he thought that the master was going to take away his family's craftsmanship, so he had the idea of running away, but he didn't think that Zhao Langjun misunderstood."
"Craft? What craft? The craft of making an oil umbrella? ”
Feng Yong asked with some sarcasm.
Old Soldier Lu nodded.
After getting the confirmation of Old Soldier Lu, Feng Yong looked at Old Soldier Lu again and pointed to his nose, "As for my fancy for your craftsmanship?" ”
Lu Lao Liu was silent.
"Okay, put away your sword."
Knowing that this was a misunderstanding, Feng Yong commanded.
Zhao Guang responded, took two steps back, and then put the sword back, but his eyes were full of warnings, signaling Lu Lao Liu not to move.
"Your Lu family's oil umbrella, did you put away the fruit of this poppy tree in the autumn, and then squeezed out the oil and applied it to the umbrella?"
Seeing Lu Laoliu's appearance of life and death, Feng Yong smiled and said directly.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Lao Liu's face changed greatly, and he looked at Feng Yong in disbelief, and then looked at Lu Lao Liu.
"What do you think Lao Tzu does? I don't know how your family makes umbrellas! ”
Old man Lu was affected by this guy, and when he saw him, he said angrily.
But he was also muttering in his heart, looking at this situation, could it be that what Feng Langjun said was right?
"I heard that your family's carpentry work is also good, but I'm afraid it's because of this oil, right?"
Feng Yong saw this guy's expression, and added another sentence.
Lu Lao Liu's face suddenly turned to ashes.
Although he didn't answer, Feng Yong knew that he had said it right.
In later generations, tung oil is an extremely important industrial raw material.
China is not only the origin of tung oil, but also the most important producer. Although the whole world has tried to introduce tung oil, it is a pity that this plant is quite patriotic - it only grows best in China, and produces the highest quality oil.
Therefore, in later generations, no country's tung oil can pose a threat to China.
Even during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, China used tung oil to borrow loans from Meirenxi.
In China, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan are among the most important producers of tung oil.
Because this is the most suitable place to grow tung oil.
It is the control of the great han today.
The effect of tung oil has been discovered at this time, but it should be limited to a small number of people, just look at the Lu Lao Liu in front of you.
Tung oil is regarded as his family's unique craft.
Seeing that he still looked like he was reluctant to speak, Feng Yong shook his head and gave him the final blow, "I also know that after frying this fruit and then squeezing the oil, the oil obtained is the best." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Laoliu finally fell to the ground softly, raised his head, and begged, "I beg Feng Langjun to let him live." The villain eats with this craft, and without it, the whole family will starve to death......"
"Don't worry, I don't like your craft. My industry in Hanzhong, a day's output, can almost exchange for half your life's food and clothing, and it will not even rob other people's families for handicrafts. ”
Feng Yong sighed, he couldn't see his childish appearance, "You can't trust me, can't you still trust Old Pawn Lu?" ”
Lu Lao Liu glanced at Lu Lao Liu again, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, but his eyes were obvious: I don't believe him.
Old Soldier Lu couldn't see what he meant, and when he stepped over, he scolded, "Lao Tzu is also your uncle!" As for being so vicious, driving your own family to a dead end? ”
"Don't worry, if I hurt you and you don't have this skill, with Lao Tzu's current monthly salary, you can afford to support your whole family!"
Old man Lu scolded and scolded, and kicked over again.
Seeing that the two old guys in front of him were about the same age, but one was called uncle and the other was called nephew, Feng Yong wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, so he had to stop him at the moment, "Okay, Uncle Lu." His family relies on this craft to eat, and it is human nature to watch it closely. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Lao Liu again, "Since you know how to use this tung oil, you think you should have oil at home, right?" ”
Lu Lao Liu no longer had the confidence to be silent this time, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes." ”
Now he can only hope for the noble person in front of him, if he really speaks, don't cut off his own way, how dare he have the slightest meaning of not cooperating?
Feng Yong said to Old Man Lu, "Uncle Lu, you follow him and get some oil back." ”
Then he said to the people, "Go, go back." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked down the mountain.
Seeing Feng Yong and his party disappear into the mountains and forests, Lu Lao Liu cautiously asked, "Uncle, ...... Feng Langjun?"
"Shut up!"
Old man Lu slapped him and scolded, "Lao Tzu kindly found a way for you, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of what to do!" I almost even got involved, get out, go back and get oil! ”
Lu Lao Liu was slapped and didn't dare to say anything.
He knew he was on a losing track.
Old Soldier Lu turned around and picked up the weapon he had dropped at the beginning, threw it in front of Old Six, and sneered, "You are also a character who came down from the battle formation, look at how much this knife is worth?" ”
"Horse chopping knife?!"
As soon as Lu Lao Liu picked it up, he exclaimed.
"This ...... This...... Is it really a saber? ”
Lu Lao Liu looked up at his uncle in disbelief, and asked with some trembling, "Uncle...... Where did you get this by killing the big officials? ”
When Old Soldier Lu heard this, he snorted, "You can get it by killing the big official?" Which lord is so generous that he can reward you with the captured sword? You donkey day for Lao Tzu, this is the Lord's reward for me! It's my own, do you hear me? ”
"Impossible!"
Lu Laoliu raised his voice and shook his head again and again, "Impossible." Even if they are generals in the army, few people can use such a good sword. Uncle, you ...... You ......"
He wanted to say that you are just a part, but when he remembered the rumors in Hanzhong, and then remembered what his uncle said to him when he came to him, he became a little suspicious at the moment.
"The personal guard of the main family, which one does not have a horse chopping knife in his hand?"
Old Soldier Lu looked at his nephew with the eyes of looking at the soil buns, and sneered, "The generals in our former army can also be compared with today's Lao Tzu?" Don't say anything else, just say that this knife, you have to have a way, take it to exchange it for money and food, is it enough for your family to change a way to live? ”
"No change! Use it as a family heirloom! ”
Lu Lao Liu shook his head again and again.
"You give the knife back to Lao Tzu! It's not your heirloom! ”
When Old Man Lu heard this, he was immediately furious, "Lao Tzu is still waiting to pass it on to Lao Tzu's child!" ”
"Uncle! Uncle! I'll just watch it for a while, just a while! ”
Lu Laoliu, who was about the same age as Lu Lao, shouted Uncle in his mouth, and begged with a salivating face, "In my life, I have never touched such a good thing!" ”
"Hurry up and see!"
Old Soldier Lu said impatiently, "I have to go back to get oil!" Look at your point! Will Feng Langjun rob your family's craftsmanship? How dare you think about it! The money and food you earn from doing a lifetime of handicraft work can be earned for you in a day, do you believe it! ”
When Lu Laoliu heard this, he wanted to doubt it, but what he was holding in his hand was a real horse chopping knife, and then he thought of the weapons of those parts just now, it seemed to ...... It's really as Uncle Clan said, it's all exactly the same as the knife in his hand.
As soon as I thought of this, I didn't dare to say anything I didn't believe in my mouth.
This Feng Langjun, is it really as rumored?
"Uncle, do I want to try this knife?"
