Chapter 119: The Boar
"Hahaha...... Lord Tang, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome......"
Xiao Han strode over with a smile, bypassed the low wall, and hugged Tang Jian heavily like a friend for many years, Tang Jian grinned at the hugging Tang Jian, and the guards on the side stared at the two of them, and there was an inexplicable look in their surprised eyes!
"I haven't seen you for many days, Xiao Hou is still so enthusiastic......"
Tang Jian was still not used to Xiao Han's enthusiastic way of meeting, and as soon as he got in touch, he quickly separated like an electric shock.
stood still and looked Xiao Han up and down, but found that Xiao Han's dress made people a little confused.
"Xiao Hou hasn't seen him for many days, why are you so embarrassed today?"
"Embarrassed?" Xiao Han listened to Tang Jian's words with a smile, wondered for a moment, and quickly looked down at himself, only to find that he had already made a lot of mud on his body, and there were still a few yellow grasses on his shoulders, and he pricked his neck from time to time, and the new pair of deerskin boots on his feet were wrinkled at the moment.
"Oh,...... Look, I forgot about it! Xiao Han patted his head and hurriedly explained to Tang Jian: "You don't know, just now, just behind here, there was a wild boar running out of nowhere, fat and strong, I and the generals just caught it, didn't I hear that your brother was coming, and he ran out before he had time to tidy up his clothes!" Let's go, come with me to see the wild boar, I heard that the family will say, or a wild boar that is pregnant with cubs, I plan to raise it, let it give birth to a baby wild boar, and it will be convenient to eat a wild boar in the future?! ”
Tang Jian had a question, but before he could ask, he was dragged forward by Xiao Han, which made Tang Jian very helpless.
I don't know why Xiao Han is so excited, besides, it's just a wild boar, there are many in the mountains, and you can often see it during the autumn harvest, running into the wheat field, a large piece of land was spoiled by this beast overnight, it's really a scourge of the farmer, you actually want to raise it?
Dragged forward a few steps by Xiao Han, Tang Jian quickly broke away from Xiao Han's hand, and said with a bitter face: "Xiao Hou, you slow down, I just came from Sanyuan County, and I saw your ......"
"Just here? It's been a hard work! After seeing the wild boar, go to dinner with me, I remember that you love to take a sip, just right, I have your favorite wine here! It's just that this time I can't hold the pillar anymore and don't let go, hahaha......"
Tang Jian turned his mind, and just wanted to lead the topic to the cement, but Xiao Han laughed and diverted his words, and by the way, he also revealed his old bottom.
Sneaking a glance at the stunned looks of the three entourages beside him, Tang Jian's old face was a little unbearable, he laughed embarrassedly twice, pulled Xiao Han to the side, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Hou, you are not a gentleman, how can you expose people's short ...... face?"
Besides, who would have thought that the wine would be so strong when I drank this wine for the first time! There is still a lot of stamina! After a few bowls, he was drunk and unconscious, as for what he did, Tang Jian, who had a headache the next day, didn't know at all, but he heard that he didn't let go when he was holding a pillar and beating him to death, and several guests didn't pull it......
"Oh? Hey, mistakes, mistakes......"
Xiao Han scratched his head embarrassedly by Tang Jian's complaint, he was used to speaking freely here, and he would think of saving Tang Jian's face in front of his subordinates......
"Mistakes? Brother Tang, don't be fooled by him, he did it on purpose! This kid still remembers the grudge you made last time! ”
Before Tang Jian could speak, he heard another familiar voice coming, Tang Jian raised his eyes to look, but it was Zhang Qiang who appeared in front of them with a pair of panda eyes.
But listening to the meaning of this, although it is towards yourself, why are you opening your mouth so wide? Not afraid of falling out of your laughing teeth?
Xiao Han didn't care if Zhang Qiang laughed or not, as soon as he heard that this thing eats his own and drinks his own, his daughter-in-law has to take her own hairpin, and her elbow has to turn out at the critical moment, which is very unhappy, and he rolled his eyes and kicked Zhang Qiang aside: "Go and go, look at you, you are too indulgent, and you are not afraid of dying in the gentle township!" ”
"Hehe, I'm willing, you can control you!"
Looking at Zhang Qiang's smug look, Xiao Han almost wanted to make up for another punch in his panda eyes, thousands of calculations, but he didn't count that the ancients were so open to room things, the saints have said, color eating also, in this era of no disco, no KTV, it is indeed a bit nonsense to let people turn off the lights and sleep, and the world is encouraging childbirth, in this top-down atmosphere, Zhang Qiang is a representative of the middle-class Tang people.
They uncovered each other's old bottoms, but found that the three of them were not good birds, looked at each other and smiled, in the end, they still couldn't screw Xiao Han, and they were pulled by him to see the wild boar, as for the cement that Tang Jian never forgot, it was put there anyway, it was great to talk again, and I don't know if it could succeed, but seeing that this kid is getting more and more slippery, it is estimated that there is little hope......
After walking a little way to the north, he saw a few people gathered around from a distance and didn't know what they were doing, so Xiao Han shouted there: "Stunned, stunned!" ”
"Hey, it's coming!" A sturdy young man squatting on the ground answered, looked back and saw that it was Xiao Han, and quickly stood up and strode over.
"What about the wild boar, come and take a look, it's the first time in my life to catch a wild boar, it's really exciting!!" Xiao Han's excited nose was a little red, he had never even seen a hare when he grew up in the city, and now he caught a wild boar with his own hands, what a pleasure! Although there are generals to help, I also grabbed its ears, right~
Unexpectedly, after Xiao Han finished speaking, the stunned man in front of him was really stunned, and stood straight in place: "Wild boar, bring it over and take a look?" ”
He looked down at the bull ear knife that was still dripping blood in his hand, and suddenly fell into deep thought, oh, it turns out that Hou Ye doesn't want to eat pork, anyway, how many times will he be kicked now......
Lunch was very casual, Xiao Han and Tang Jian had a meal in the cabin, the silver treasury had already been built, and now all the money was transferred to the silver treasury, and the cement plastered silver treasury was a solid mess, except for entering from the entrance, it was delusional for thieves to dig in! Even if you give him a hoe and tell him where to plan, it is estimated that he will not be able to plank for a year.
After lunch, Tang Jian happily handed over the copper money that Xiao Lizi gave to Xiao Han, the money was not much, it was all newly cast, the workmanship was very poor, and it was done by hand at a glance.
It is estimated that Xiao Lizi heard Xiao Han's embarrassment in the army, so he sent Tang Jian to send some property to Xiao Han by the way, so as not to starve him to death.
It can also be seen from the letters that came with the copper coin that Li Shimin was almost moved to tears by his own charity act of sending charcoal in the snow, thinking that Xiao Lizi, who was in the distance, must be drooling and imagining Xiao Han holding the copper coin and crying bitterly......
It's a pity that Xiao Han may have disappointed them, and after glancing at the copper coin, he called the housekeeper and asked him to be responsible for counting the money, and he didn't even have the interest in taking another look......
Steward Lu of the family is also a person who has seen the world now, and he doesn't look down on the hundreds of copper coins at all, so he casually swept his eyes, took out the key from his arms, opened the silver vault, and ordered the generals to transport the money in.
The door of the silver vault opened, Tang Jian glanced inside curiously, and was almost blinded by the mountain-like copper coins inside, where did this guy get so much money? Robbed?
It's a lot of questions, and it's not good to ask directly, Tang Jian can't pull Xiao Han to ask where your family's money came from, the two of them didn't know each other to that extent, Tang Jian had to force himself to forget the scene he just saw.
It's not interesting to watch others move money, it's just a bunch of metal coming and going, just looking at it for a while, Xiao Han led Tang Jian to visit the territory, and a few entourages don't have to look at the carriage now, they simply follow behind the two of them, but the more they walk, the more confused they are by the surrounding scenes, so that they go slower and slower.
When he was about to arrive at the place where the house was built, seeing that everyone else had been left behind, Tang Jian made up his mind, walked a few steps, and asked behind Xiao Han:
"Xiao Hou, when I came, I saw an old man building a wall, but the material he used was something called cement, which is said to have been invented by Xiao Hou, I don't know how this cement is made? But Xiao Hou can rest assured, I'm not here to ask for the secret recipe, I just want to know, is this thing easy to make? How much does it cost? ”
Xiao Han was watching the bricklayer lay wood for the newly beamed house in front, and when he heard this, he stopped, ready to wait for Tang Jian to catch up and answer, Tang Jian's words were serious, this was not a joke between the two of them, but a very formal inquiry, not sloppy.
"Brother Tang is too careful, cement was just invented by me, how can there be any secret recipe that is not a secret recipe, but Brother Tang asked about its function, and I will also tell you the truth: that thing is not expensive, it is not troublesome to make, and it is much cheaper than the Sanhe soil watered with glutinous rice juice."
"Can it be used to fortify the city?" Tang Jian didn't want to know who first invented this thing, he just wanted to know if this thing was cheap and whether it could work on a large scale.
Tang Jian's question made Xiao Han think for a long time, and then he replied cautiously: "It should be feasible, but cement is a new thing, I have experimented with my family many times, and only then did I get this kind of physical object, although it is strong, but there are still some gaps with what I imagined, and now these cements, used to build some houses, can be, if the city wall is to be used, there is no experiment, I can't be sure......"
Tang Jian nodded, affirming Xiao Han's cautious attitude, but he had already seen the solidity of cement with his own eyes, and it seemed that the operation was much simpler than the ordinary method of repairing the city wall, where it would be easy to let go of such a good thing, after all, in the current era of cold weapons, having an indestructible city wall is something that all city lords dream of!
"What Xiao Hou said is very true, now that the King of Qin is in Longyou, many cities have been damaged, the Turkic thieves regard the city as nothing, loot money, and kidnap the people, and the local grassland is less solid stone, and the city wall repair is extremely difficult, Tang Jian wants to ask Xiao Hou for some cement here, I hope Xiao Hou agrees!"
