Chapter 27: The Future Is Promising
Li Mu pillowed Bai Qiaoqiao's thighs, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes. Bai Qiaoqiao helped him gently rub his temples to relieve his fatigue. Li Mu told her what had just happened, and when he said it, he was still very angry. But Bai Qiaoqiao didn't react, and the movements of his hands didn't stop, as if he was much more interested in massaging Li Mu than this matter.
Li Mu took her hand away and asked, "Aren't you angry?" That's Chang'an! ”
"Hmm......" Bai Qiaoqiao shook her head.
"Why?" Li Mu was puzzled, he thought that Bai Qiaoqiao should be more enthusiastic about Chang'an than him, as a native of this era, didn't he yearn for Chang'an?
"Actually......" Bai Qiaoqiao pursed her lips, and seemed to be a little hesitant to say it, but she still spoke: "Lang Jun, I don't want to go to Chang'an." ”
"Huh?" Li Mu was even more incomprehensible.
"Chang'an is too big, how can we live there? I heard that all the princes and nobles live there, and we are just ordinary people, if we offend them, I am afraid that it will be useless to sue the officials. It's better to be here, you are now a county minister, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and no one dares to bully us, isn't it okay to stay here? After Bai Qiaoqiao finished speaking, he didn't know if he was right, and looked at Li Mu timidly. Because of the current posture of the two of them, Bai Qiaoqiao was looking down, Li Mu could just see himself in her eyes, and suddenly he understood, he was wrong, the natives of the Tang Dynasty did not necessarily yearn for Chang'an, they only yearned for a stable life.
Bai Qiaoqiao is different from him, she is not a time-traveler with a system. She is just an unfortunate woman who was born in a border city, her mother died early, she was harshly criticized by her father and stepmother, and it was not easy to grow up. The life she longs for is a husband who loves her, a life of abundance. Chang'an is too far away for her, it's not that she doesn't want to, but she can't think of it that far.
"Lang Jun, did I say the wrong thing?"
"Nope! No! Li Mu hurriedly said, he raised his hand and touched Bai Qiaoqiao's face, and said with a smile: "I thought it was wrong, I thought you wanted to go to Chang'an." Since you don't want to go, then I don't have any pity, let's live a good life. ”
"Hmm!" Bai Qiaoqiao narrowed her smile and nodded vigorously. Li Mu was demented when he saw it, and secretly thought that the bus gave up so many seats in his previous life, and finally gave up some rewards in this life, how could he meet such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and she smiled so beautifully!
"Lady, discuss something with you?"
"Huh?"
"Kiss me!" Li Mu said with a shy face.
"Oops!" Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at him and was about to push him away. Li Mu was willing to let Bai Qiaoqiao run away, and he reached out to hug her neck. At this moment, Bai Gensheng's voice sounded outside the door: "Brother-in-law, I brought your horse back!" What about my sister? I saw her go home just now, is she at home? ”
Bai Qiaoqiao heard the voice, quickly pushed Li Mu away, and responded: "I'm here, your brother-in-law is resting, don't shout!" After speaking, he glanced at Li Mu and begged: "Good Langjun, wait until there is no one...... Good no good? ”
"Alas!" What else can Li Mu say, it can only be like this.
Bai Qiaoqiao came out of the house and saw Bai Gensheng tethering the horse, and said, "I'm going to cook, you go and pick up the old lady, in those mothers-in-law's cooking places, you know?" ”
"Yes, I know!" Bai Gensheng answered, added fodder to the horse, turned around and went out again. Bai Qiaoqiao turned around and went back to the house, and quickly pecked Li Mu's face who was about to sleep with his eyes closed, and when he opened his eyes, the person had already run out again.
"My belly is full of evil fire!" Li Mu got up to grab it, and grabbed it, at this time there was only one thought left in his head, hurry up and arrange things, take time to tie the knot first, what Chang'an, what official position, it doesn't matter, it's serious to marry a daughter-in-law first!
Lying down again, Li Mu said that he couldn't sleep at all. He called the system out and made a combing of the skills that had been improved recently.
Recently, the main improvement of construction skills, in which the carpentry skills have been improved to 70% proficiency of junior carpentry after making the furniture at home, the tables, chairs and benches of the yamen. If Li Mu was willing, he could make a few more tables, chairs and benches to complete the remaining thirty percent skill proficiency, but he was not in a hurry, because soon Bai Hao'er would come over, and he wanted to use his carpentry skills to make a set of distillation equipment for soju, and the drawings had already been learned, and a set of skills had just been completed.
Li Mu paid for the wine shop, of course, he would not use Bai Haoer's original business model, nor would he use Bai Hao'er's wine. He had already thought about bringing the high-grade liquor that was only popularized in the Song Dynasty to this era in advance. Of course, Li Mu doesn't have this ability, but he has a system. Although the game is designed in the Tang Dynasty, the game cannot be completely based on history. A martial arts game, okay without alcohol? In the sub-vocational system, one of the branches of cooking is brewing, and there are very many types of wine, such as apricot blossom brewing, monkey wine, three cups of pouring, as long as it is a famous wine, it is among them. In the game, alcohol does a different role than food. The function of food is to restore physical strength, but the effect of alcohol is to increase a certain attribute for a certain period of time, which is equivalent to a BUFF. According to the difficulty of obtaining raw materials, they correspond to different skill levels, and the higher the level of the formula, the more points will be improved.
"Apricot Blossom Brew increases intelligence by 1? Intellect! How does this reflect that after drinking this wine, the brain will become smarter? Li Mu suddenly thought of Li Siwen, if he really had this effect, he would definitely give him a hundred jars first, so as to save him from being smart and doing some things that children do.
Thinking of this, Li Mu first spent a tael of silver to learn the brewing technique, and then learned the recipe of "three cups poured", he did not learn apricot blossom brewing, because of the geographical location of Dingxiang, there are no apricot trees at all. Moreover, the "three cups of pouring" is to increase strength after drinking, and the raw materials are easy to obtain, and in this place, strength is obviously much more useful than intelligence. No matter who you are, it never hurts to put in a little more effort.
Looking at another branch of construction, civil engineering, I have been leading everyone to work on the construction site these days, and as a 'foreman', I have enjoyed a five-percent skill proficiency bonus. After a few days, the skill proficiency level has reached 50 percent. When the city wall is completed, the primary civil engineering proficiency will definitely be full, but there is no need to worry too much.
"Now it's time for cooking!" Li Mu meditated in his heart, and suddenly he thought of something, and his eyes lit up. The wine is good, there was no high-grade wine in the Tang Dynasty, if he got the high-grade wine out, it would definitely be sold all over the world, so would the money roll in? With money, what materials can't be bought, and with money, where can't they go?
Li Mu clenched his fists and made money selling wine! That's it!
