"It turns out that the pine stick is cut off?"

After taking out a few loose sticks from the bottom of the pot and looking at them a few times, Guo Xi suddenly lost interest, turned around and pointed to the plate and began to shout at Qinghongyueru: "Let you cut two plates of mutton, but what do you mean by just a few slices in this plate?" Don't say I eat it, even if I feed the chickens, it's not enough! ”

I don't bother to investigate the origin of this guy at all

"These sick and recuperating cases are half meaty, but the imperial court has made me a prisoner to wait for the body!"

Qing Hongyueru said sadly and angrily: "We and Brother Tiger are not very willing to eat, you are good, one person has already eaten four plates is not enough!" ”

"If it weren't for his illness, I wouldn't be late!"

Guo Xi pointed at Wei Ming and said, "You look at him like that, does he look a little sick?" Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and cut it again - this meat, the most important thing is to eat it happily, if you don't eat it, then it's better not to eat it! ”

The big tiger and the second daughter stiffened their necks and didn't hear it.

"Let's go cut some more!"

Wei Ming said a little depressed while greeting: "I let you go and eat before, you didn't listen, and now you can't afford it, why do you say you are here!"

He hasn't been here for almost half a month, who knew he would come as soon as our family ate meat?

Thinking that he hadn't eaten a few bites of mutton and now had to be cheap, Guo Xi, Dahu and the second daughter simply regretted that their intestines were green.

Wei Ming naturally didn't care too much about this kind of trivial matter, just looked at Guo Xi and said, "What are you doing when you don't see the shadow of this little half-moon person and still show this virtue?" ”

"What else can you do?"

Guo Xi said: "Isn't this General Gao going back to Beijing to take up his post, and my eldest brother is also going to come back, A-Niang asked me to take my sister-in-law to Chang'an in advance, and then the family will be ......reunited."

"General Gao?"

Wei Ming was stunned for a moment and then said excitedly: "The general Gao you are talking about, but the high general of the Anxi Protectorate Gao Jiedu?" ”

"Can a certain family be honored as a high general, but in addition to Gao Jiedu, is there anyone else?"

Guo Xi rolled his eyes, and was about to say something like that, although Gao Xianzhi had recently returned from a great defeat in the Western Expedition, it did not damage his prestige......

Turning his head, he found that Wei Ming's face was full of excitement, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Although Gao Jiedu has been shaking the Western Regions for more than 30 years, it is really an example for us and other Tang Dynasty warriors, but does this have anything to do with the guy who doesn't dare to go on the road when you ride a horse without being led?" ”

Wei Ming directly ignored this guy's sarcasm.

However, to a certain extent, what Guo Xi said is not completely unreasonable......

Although for Gao Xianzhi, a fierce general who shocked the Western Regions at the age of 20 and guarded Anxi for more than 30 years, except for a big heel in the Pamir Plateau in the first half of the year, Wei Ming's admiration is indeed like a turbulent river, and the Yellow River is overflowing......

But I have to admit that his excitement has nothing to do with the hero's return and being able to pay homage to the general.

What he was excited about was exactly what Gao Xianzhi brought back this time!

Throughout the ages, soldiers have gone on expeditions, and more or less they will bring back some local specialties......

It's no surprise that these specialties may be ubiquitous in the region, but when they arrive elsewhere, they often make a huge difference to the new place where the leaves take root!

Such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peppers, etc.

Historically, it is precisely because of the introduction of these alien species that it has not only helped the Chinese nation survive the test of famine and so on again and again, but also made indelible contributions to the continuation of Chinese civilization......

Thinking of this, although he knew that potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peppers, and other crops that had a profound impact on Chinese civilization would not be able to leave the Americas at all if the Great Voyage began a few hundred years later, Wei Ming was still extremely excited, and said to Guo Xi eagerly: "Where is the team that returned from Gao Jiedu now?" How long will it take to get back to Chang'an? ”

"It's early!"

Guo Xi estimated and said: "But considering the weather, when you can return to Guanzhong before the snow, this is certain!" ”

"That is, there are still two months?"

Hearing this, Wei Ming said excitedly: "Remember to find someone to keep an eye on, as soon as General Gao's team enters the pass, notify me immediately!" ”

"Could it be that you still want to travel thousands of miles to work in the army?"

Guo Xi said with a smile: "When the general comes back, I believe that the whole Chang'an will fall out of the city, welcome the return of the hero, if you want to see the general, maybe a certain family can help you introduce you, don't rush at all!" ”

"What a rambling job!"

Wei Ming said angrily: "As for the rest, you will know when the time comes!" ”

Guo Xi, who was choked up, stared at him depressedly, and said in his heart that for the sake of you still owing a few taels of gold to a certain family, I won't care about you this time!

As soon as he thought of those taels of gold, Guo Xi kept getting up again and asked Wei Ming if he had thought about what to do in the future......

There are many ways to make money, of course, Wei Ming has.

But the crux of the matter is that these methods either do not appear, and once they appear, then most of them will be included in the ranks of the imperial court monopoly at the first time, and there is no way to operate for a long time.

The only small part left, such as burning glass, is too expensive to prepare soda ash!

The only feasible soap, but it faces the problem of shortage of raw materials - after all, there are only a few kinds of oils at present, most of them are animal oils, vegetable oils are simply pitiful, and the price is ridiculously expensive!

Using these oils to make soap, soap is made because not many people can afford to use it, this is one thing, the most important thing is that once a large amount of oil is used to make soap, it will definitely cause the price of oil on the market to skyrocket......

Not to mention the impact on people's livelihood, let's just say that once the government investigates, the hard-won Wusha can't be saved, and if the head moves, it will be a big loss!

Therefore, after hearing Guo Xi's words, Wei Ming could only say that he was waiting and seeing.

"Are you waiting?"

Guo Xi said with a bitter face when he heard this: "The one or two gold that the young uncle borrowed over there owed, but the sky is rising in the silver, if our business is not opened again, I won't be able to live this day for my brother......"

Wei Ming was trying to appease, but Guo Xi's mind had already gone elsewhere, saying that the hot pot was already a little light, and let Qinghongyueru go to that little salt again.

Wei Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought that the reason why his hot pot was delicious was that in addition to using pine branches to remove the flesh, the salt used was also the key!

Thinking about it again, although salt and iron are all official camps, it is not allowed to buy and sell privately, once it is violated, it is a big crime to kill the head.

But as long as there is a slight relationship, it is no problem to open a salt and oil shop and take official salt from the government to sell it in bulk......

Wei Ming's eyes suddenly lit up!
