Chapter 183: The Despised General

"聿"

Several horses stopped at the gate of the primary school one after another, and the others all looked at each other calmly without squinting, but the old man looked up and down a few words of Qinghe Town Primary School with interest, and then his eyes fell on Chen Xu.

"This is Qinghe Town?"

Chen Xu's cheeks twitched slightly, Nima's words were too shameless, did you not see the big words of Qinghe Town Primary School for so long, why didn't your eyes fall off the horse when you were so blind.

But the so-called guests from afar, and these people are all carrying bows, arrows, knives and guns, and at a glance you can judge that they are definitely not ordinary people, and according to this attitude of questioning, the businessman is even worse, the businessman has a low status, and he is cautious everywhere, and he will definitely not drag it like this.

So Chen Xu immediately cautiously asked: "This is Qinghe Town, where do you come from and where are you going?" ”

"It's Qinghe Town, we heard that there are immortal disciples near here who have appeared, so we came to inquire, I just happened to be tired of walking, I don't know if we can borrow the ground to rest!" The old man said lightly.

"Naturally, you can tie your horses to the horse stakes outside, and the pergola in the courtyard can rest and drink tea, and you can also eat some food to satisfy your hunger!" Chen Xu raised his hand and pointed to the cafeteria and said.

"Very good, thank you!" The old man turned over and dismounted, although he looked old, but his movements were still vigorous.

Several of the attendants behind him also jumped off their horses, led the horses to the stakes outside the courtyard, took off their swords, guns, bows and arrows one by one, and strode into the courtyard of the primary school with the old man in their arms.

And Jiang Beiting, who was sitting in the pergola twisting his beard and drinking tea, looked at the group of people who walked in, his body shook and the tea splashed again, and he quickly stood up with a frightened face, but he didn't dare to come forward to say hello, so he had to endure the pounding heart pestle in place, and he didn't dare to move, and at the same time, his heart was like a frenzy to set off a monstrous wave.

He knew this old man, not only did he know him, but he was very familiar with him.

The old general of the Great Qin Army, Wang Qianwang, he ...... How could he suddenly come to Qinghe Town, and there was no news in advance, how should this be?

"There are guests coming from afar, serving tea!" Chen Xu led the old man and a few entourages into the pergola and sat down, and a canteen helper quickly brought a long-spouted clay pot and six or seven pottery cups, poured a cup for each person next to each other, and then retreated.

"There is only bitter tea in the backcountry, please!" Chen Xu smiled and sat down opposite the old man.

"It's okay!" The old man picked up the teacup and sniffed it gently, then took a sip, and asked with a hint of surprise on his face: "Could this tea be the purple cloud fairy tea taught by the disciples of the Immortal Family?" ”

Belch? Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where did the immortal tea come from, it is just fried from the green leaves on the mountain, and it has some refreshing effects, and I have never heard of the disciples of the immortal family!" ”

The old man nodded slightly, drank the dry tea in one go, and put down the teacup: "Can I have another cup?" ”

Chen Xu had no choice but to pick up the teapot and pour another cup for the old man.

"Virtuous nephew, I'll go out for a walk, and we'll talk after a while!" Jiangbei Pavilion sat or stood either, and after standing next to Chen Xu and nodding awkwardly at the old man, he was uncomfortable, and decided that it would be better to leave for the time being.

Although it was only a short half a minute, he also roughly thought of something, the legend of Ziyunxian tea has already spread to Xianyang, this old general Wang may be bored at home, so he also wants to join in the fun, so it is better not to mix this matter, although he also wants to remind Chen Xu, but Wang Qian's tiger power is too strong, if he greets and destroys Wang Qian's plan, it is estimated that the end will be miserable, so Jiangbei Pavilion quickly escaped from the pavilion, By the way, my son and daughter, who were standing outside the classroom door and listening to the class, also left the elementary school.

"You said there was still food to feed your hunger?" The old man asked after pouring down another cup of tea.

"Naturally, there is, corn porridge for one dollar for a bowl, steamed buns for two dollars a piece, steamed buns for three dollars a bowl, noodles for five dollars a bowl, and dumplings for ten yuan a bowl......," Chen Xu said, pointing to a wooden board hanging on a wooden pillar in the pergola.

The old man turned his head to look over, and sure enough, the prices of various foods and dishes were written on it in small seals, in addition to the few pasta dishes that Chen Xu said, there were also sweet and sour fish, sauerkraut fish, boiled fish, dry fried river shrimp, scrambled eggs with leeks, garlic sprouts back to the pot meat, grape fruit vinegar and grape wine and other dishes and drinks.

The old man's cheeks twitched slightly, he had never heard of steamed buns, noodles, dumplings, these foods, naturally he had never seen them, and what boiled fish, dry fried river shrimp, leek scrambled eggs and back to the pot meat and the like, although there are fish and meat, but the name is also strange, but there is a price behind each dish, some are expensive and some are cheap, basically each dish will not exceed thirty yuan, but the wine is slightly expensive, and a pound of wine costs two hundred yuan.

Specialized restaurants and restaurants have not yet appeared in the Qin Dynasty, but this kind of food with a clear price is also available in the foot house, and the price is clearly marked by the Qin law, but I didn't expect this kind of mountain village and wild shop to have it, Wang Jian is the god of the Great Qin Army, although he almost doesn't eat out and knows a little, but at this time he found himself despised in this poor and remote place.

The dishes and food were unintelligible.

But in his lifetime as a horseman, how could the god of war be stumped by such a question, so he pointed to the wooden board and said: "Two servings like me, five catties of wine, a few hours of travel, and I am already hungry!" ”

"Okay, I ordered the buns and steamed buns to be brought up to satisfy your hunger, the fish and meat are a little more troublesome to make, and it will be a little later!" Chen Xu suddenly stood up with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, just according to the arrangement you said!" The old man waved his sleeves, and Chen Xu immediately ran to the back kitchen.

Big business, this is really a big business, that's right, this group of people is really not ordinary people.

Two tables of five catties of wine, plus steamed dumplings and other pasta, the income of this meal is enough to 16,700 yuan, which is the income of a moderately wealthy family for more than a year, as for the cost, well, it can be ignored.

Except for flour, which is a hard currency, everything else is regarded as sideline income.

The fish is caught in the Xiaoqing River, because of the lack of meat, Chen Xu instructed the town's craftsmen to help weave more than ten bamboo cages, these cages are large and small, and the styles are not the same, every day let the two helpers of the canteen touch some snails and mussel shells and smash them after they are cooked, and then put them in the bamboo cages and throw them into the river, get up in the morning to take them back, more or less will catch some fish eels, shrimps, crabs and other things, and luck can also catch two or three catties of big fish, The small fish and shrimp are wrapped in salt and noodle sauce and cooked in a clay pot and then given to the children of primary school as a reward snack, which is very popular with all students and staff.

Loach and eel are more troublesome to deal with, and Chen Xu is generally too lazy to get them, so they are kept in a mud pit behind the elementary school, and wait until winter to get them out to eat hot pot.

And those larger fish are kept in a few water tanks at the back of the canteen, Chen Xu now has to give water to gently stew a body every day, of course, the main purpose is to entertain businessmen and travelers from the north and south, a few days ago that Zhao Qing ate several kinds of fish next to each other, so that Chen Xu made a lot of money, and finally Zhao Qing spent all the more than 3,000 money he brought when he left, and he could only use gold cakes to buy wine.

Under Chen Xu's instructions, the kitchen helper put the steamed buns in the steamer and heated them out, and then brought them out to the old man and a few entourages to satisfy their hunger, and then arranged to make dumplings, kill fish, cut meat, and prepare onions, ginger and garlic sprouts, and the whole kitchen began to prepare these two tables of dishes in an orderly manner.

Listening to the loud commands and clanging sounds in the kitchen, the old man's eyes looked at the entire elementary school side by side.

"General, everything here is weird!" A burly young man in cyan clothes quietly walked up to the old man and whispered.

"Well, after eating, go around the town, and remember not to be reckless!"

"Wow," the burly young man whispered.

"Elementary school, it's strange, the old man has lived a lifetime, and he has never seen this kind of place!" The old man stood up and walked out of the pergola to the corridor outside the classroom, and looked in through the window.

In the classroom, there are more than 20 ten-year-old boys and girls are sitting seriously on the high chairs, the table in front of them is placed with paper and pencils, charcoal bars, small wooden boards and abacus, on the front of the podium, mathematics teacher Niu Quan is explaining an arithmetic application problem, there are three white-bearded old men in the back of the classroom are also holding an abacus in their hands, listening attentively.

"The third question, the summer grain harvest, there are a total of 17 households in Heihu Village, 473 acres of land, 3 jun per mu of land tax, 36 people in Dingkou, 8 buckets of tax, 55 people over 7 years old, 4 buckets of tax, ask, how much summer grain tax will be paid in Heihu Village this year?"

Niu Quan said as he wrote some Arabic numerals on the wooden board on the wall with black charcoal bars, and the more than 20 children below immediately picked up the charcoal bars and began to calculate on the wooden boards.

Niu Quan, like the teachers of later generations, walked around the classroom with a teaching stick in his back, and when he saw someone lazy or miscalculated, he immediately stopped and hit it with the teaching stick.

"Report, it's done!" Soon the children raised their hands.

"Niu Heiwa, you answer!" Niu Quan said.

"A total of four hundred and eighteen .25 stone tax grain!"

"Exactly, please take a seat, lunch and two small fish!" Niu Quan nodded.

This little guy named Liu Heiwa immediately sat down with excitement on his face.

The other children in the classroom were still crackling with their abacus, but it was only half a minute, and many children raised their hands one after another to indicate that they had finished the calculation.

In the classroom, it's no different from the usual class.

But an old man standing outside the window was full of confusion, and his mouth was wide open and couldn't close it.
