"Hey, that's not ......"

Xiao Han didn't notice the fat cook's worried look, and was about to answer, but was interrupted by the fat chef directly.

"Ahem... This was taken by a wealthy family in Seoul from the ice cellar and given to Xiao Hou, but there were not many of them, only that. ”

Lao Feng glanced at the fat cook with a strange expression, then nodded, and didn't say anything more, just looked down at the bamboo tube.

To be honest, Lao Feng is not a hillbilly, he knows that in Chang'an, it is not a new thing for large families to store ice in winter.

But the problem here is Hanzhong! There are so many years that don't freeze in winter than there are years that freeze! And even if it freezes, it is a thin layer of ice, and after living here for decades, he has never heard of anyone building an ice cellar here.

The fat man in front of him is obviously deceiving himself, but Lao Feng has also been a county order for many years, and it is still clear that he should not ask what he should not ask.

Lao Feng was silent, and Xiao Han rolled his eyes, probably thinking that the fat cook was making a big fuss. But the words have already been spoken, and it is difficult for him to take them back. I can only pull out the bamboo tube and drink ice water to hide the embarrassment.

The bamboo tube is not filled with simple ice water, but cold boiled water with wild honey, and then soaked in ice cubes, and it tastes like a cola run.

Xiao Han still remembers that when he was young, Coke was still a luxury. A can can be held and drunk for a day, and when it reaches the bottom of the can, there is such a sweet smell left, and there is no gas, but I am still reluctant to swallow it.

The two of them enjoyed the coolness under the tree, and Yuan Dake and Zhang Bao led Shi Shiran to walk on the path outside. Seeing Xiao Han here, several people bowed their hands one by one.

"I've seen Xiao Hou......"

Xiao Han also saw Yuan Dake and a few people at this time, and he didn't bother to get up, so he sat on the recliner and smiled.

Xiao Han's status is noble, and naturally there are no taboos. But Lao Feng was different, when he saw his boss and a bunch of colleagues saluting him, he quickly took a step back and bowed down.

The several county commanders who followed behind Yuan Dake all recognized Lao Feng, and just saw Lao Feng and Hou Ye sitting together drinking water comfortably, they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous in their hearts.

However, people who are close to the water get the moon first, and the matter of grain has long been negotiated. And he still has to follow the history of thorns to investigate little by little, and by the way, calculate how many new grains each county can distribute.

Yuan Dake led all kinds of envious, jealous and hateful county orders away, and Lao Feng next to Xiao Han raised his head proudly. If it weren't for Xiao Han here, he would have wanted to sing a little song to praise the joy in his heart! Who would have thought that a little persistence at the beginning could bring him so much in return?

"Old Feng? Lao Feng? ”

"Huh?" Lao Feng was screamed by Xiao Han, and quickly turned his head to look at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han said to Lao Feng with a look of disgust: "What were you thinking just now, laughing so disgustingly?" ”

Hearing Xiao Han say this, Lao Feng's face turned green, and he coughed twice in succession before he said: "Master Hou is joking, I was just thinking that since our county has prepared the land, why don't you take the time to take a look at those land?" ”

"Don't go!" As soon as Xiao Han heard that he was going out, he immediately rejected Lao Feng's proposal cleanly. In this big summer, what are you running around, not afraid of being sunburned as an Indian Ah San?

Lao Feng looked at Xiao Han, who was lying on the chair and pretending to be dead, a little dumbfounded, but soon continued without giving up: "Master Hou, as the person who knows these rice seeds best, you have to go to the field to see!" Even if you don't do anything, just nodding your head can reassure those people in the county. ”

Xiao Han was unmoved on the recliner, rolled his eyes and said: "What do you know most about rice seeds, I'm just an ornament here, just take out a random person and farm the land than me!" I'm not going, I'm dying of heat. ”

"Then let's go in the middle of the afternoon, and in the evening, we can still entertain you?" Lao Feng already had resistance to Xiao Han's laziness, and now he could only coax him with a good voice.

"Hospitality?" Xiao Han snorted and said, "I didn't say you, what is delicious for you?" Comparable to my chef? ”

"This ......" Lao Feng was suddenly embarrassed, he had mixed up here a few times. Although it's just a big pot dish, the taste in it is a little stronger than the best meal I've ever eaten! Tempting a gourmet person with his own unworthy meals is indeed a dizziness.

"There are still a few cold melons in my backyard, and I haven't been willing to eat them! I also saw it today, it looks bigger than a human head, don't you want to ......go, Master Hou" Looking at Xiao Han who pretended to be a dead dog, Lao Feng gritted his teeth and stomped his feet! directly took out his killer weapon, and I didn't believe that Xiao Han, who didn't even let go of the wild mountain dates on the ground, would not be tempted by such a rare thing as cold melon!

Sure enough, Xiao Han's eyes widened when he heard the word cold melon, and he got up, stared at Lao Feng and asked, "Cold melon?" Where did you get it! Isn't this thing only available in the palace, and no one else is allowed to grow it? ”

Seeing that the fish was hooked, Lao Feng proudly stroked his beard and said to Xiao Han: "Hou Ye is really well-informed, Han melon was not allowed to be planted by others in the previous dynasty, one is because it hurts the land, and the other is that Emperor Yang listed it as a tribute fruit in the palace and was not allowed to be eaten by outsiders."

But since Emperor Yang returned to heaven, the concubines and eunuchs in the palace have scattered. Among them, there are those who hide treasures, and there are those who hide all kinds of curiosities. It so happened that I knew a guard who gave me a few seeds when he passed through Hanzhong, and after planting them, I found that one of them was a cold melon. ”

"There's such a good thing, why didn't you say it earlier?" Xiao Han stared at Lao Feng viciously, no longer looking like he couldn't scream no matter how he screamed just now.

Cold melon is watermelon, Xiao Han still knows this! In the previous summer, it was unimaginable that there would be no watermelon or two to relieve the heat! But since I came to Datang, the air conditioner is gone... The ice cream is gone, and even the watermelon is gone! Since there is nothing, then what does this bird marquis mean in front of you?

Lao Feng shrank his head at Xiao Han's eyes, and whispered, "Aren't I here to surprise you, how about it, come with me to eat cold melon this afternoon?" ”

"Go... What to go! ”

disappointed Lao Feng, Xiao Han had already blurted out the words, but with a roll of his eyes, he turned his words back.

"It's too troublesome to go so far to eat a cold melon! Anyway, you run here every day, won't you get the melon next time? ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, it's a good thing, you don't want to take it???"

Seeing that Xiao Han's laziness had surpassed the sky, Lao Feng could only sigh heavily and said, "That's okay, anyway, I don't know if this thing is cooked or cooked!" Tomorrow, no matter how big or small it is, twist it down and give it to Master Hou. ”

"Hey, you!" Xiao Han was dumbfounded now, he still wanted to find a ripe collection of melon seeds and plant them himself next year, Lao Feng didn't screw it down regardless of whether it was raw or cooked, isn't it a tyrannical thing?
