……

The street at the entrance of Qinghe Park is more lively than in the morning.

Due to the birth of ice powder, it detonated people's most fanatical pursuit of ice and coolness in this hot summer.

An ice powder stall was no longer enough, and it was almost overturned by the crazy crowd, so Huang Fuque, the director of Qinghe Garden, personally came forward to direct the placement of four stalls on both sides of the gate of Qinghe Garden, and later even arranged one more stall to the opposite Liuxiang Garden to appease the people who came here.

The ice powder made in large barrels and barrels is constantly carried out from the back kitchen, and it is too late for the ice buckets to be chilled, so they can only secretly make a few large buckets of ice water according to the ice-making method taught by Hou Ye, and pour two spoonfuls of ice water and sweet and sour sauce to sell when they are sold, but they still can't stop the fanatical pursuit of the people, and what the five stalls hear is the sound of shouting and throwing copper coins into the wooden box, and every half an hour, someone will carry the money box into the financial room of Qinghe Park for inventory and bookkeeping.

In the entire Qinghe Garden, from the supervisor to the helper, no one could have imagined that a small bowl of ice powder for ten yuan would be made into a big business by Hou Ye.

And as long as the heat does not subside, it is estimated that this business will last for a few days or even a month or two, because I heard that there is little rain and drought this autumn, it is estimated that this heat will continue for a long time.

"Master Hou is here~"

On the bustling street, I saw two luxury carriages coming together under the protection of the forbidden army and the palace guards, and the street instantly resounded with enthusiastic cheers.

Chen Xu sat in the carriage and waved to the saluting and shouting crowd.

"Look, it's the fifth princess!"

Some people in the crowd recognized Ying Shiyan's honor guard, so many princes and princes also stood respectfully on the side of the road and bowed their hands, shouting to see Princess Huayu.

Ying Shiyan stood up and saluted to both sides, and her gentle and polite appearance provoked the crowd to cheer, until the two carriages entered the park under the greeting of the guards of Qinghe Garden, and the crowd on the street slowly calmed down.

Even many people will delve into the follow-up story after the Marquis of Qinghe invited Princess Huayu to enter the Qinghe Garden, whether to eat at the Qinghe Hotel or go to the play, or to touch and pinch in the private room of the hotel, and do some entertainment activities that make everyone envious, jealous and hateful, because I heard that the Hou Ye took off the five princesses naked in the winter......

What kind of mentality and interests do the gossip flame burners Chen Xu naturally doesn't know, and he won't pay attention to it if he knows, let alone sue them for defamation, because at the moment he is the hottest Hou Ye in Daqin, as a star, it is normal to be talked about in his private life.

Under the personal arrangement of Huang Fuque, Chen Xu first took Ying Shiyan to settle down in one of the best private rooms in the theater, and the two sat together intimately to watch the MV of "Loyal to the Country", which has now become a household name, and the second act of the White Snake Legend of Thief Grass.

In the interval of watching, Chen Xu sent a dazzling variety of snacks, barbecue, spring rolls, fried chestnuts, especially the fried crabs and fried snails in sauce that have recently become popular in Xianyang, plus two bowls of crystal clear ice powder, the two chatted while watching and eating, Ying Shiyan once again returned to her former demeanor, and there was no trace of melancholy on her happy face.

After watching a scene, the sun is already in the west.

The streets and alleys are full of strong aroma of food, the street at the gate of Qinghe Garden is already overcrowded, the gentlemen who come out to play after dinner, the ministers, the officials, the rich and the nobles in all kinds of costumes, in addition to these exploiting classes with heads and faces, and the ordinary people who carry the baskets, all gather on both sides of the street to sell all kinds of fruits and snacks, it is the late summer and early autumn, and all kinds of melons and fruits in the mountains and fields are also ripe, so there are shouts and sales everywhere.

"Muskmelon melon, crisp and sweet melon~"

"Newly released buns, buns stuffed with oil residue and shepherd's cabbage~"

"Fried chestnuts, freshly beaten chestnuts~"

"Ice powder, ice powder, ice powder to quench your thirst~" This is the shouting of the Qingheyuan ice powder monopoly team.

"Roasted crabs, pepper and garlic mustard have all kinds of flavors, one penny and one string, three ......" A carbon stove and barbecue grill were placed not far from the side of the gate of Qinghe Garden, and a pair of dark-skinned young brothers were also shouting loudly.

Nearly a month has passed, and the two brothers can no longer see the timidity and misery on their faces, and the clothes on their bodies have been changed to clean linen clothes, and their bodies are neatly packed, and the equipment is not the tattered clay pot at the beginning, but an iron barbecue grill worth hundreds of dollars.

Because I heard that Hou Ye personally ate their crabs, and praised the taste as good, the two brothers are now considered well-known figures at the gate of Qinghe Garden, and many people who come to play will come to eat a bunch of crabs.

And today's roasted crab is not the only taste of salt that day, but after cleaning it is carefully pickled with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, onion, ginger and garlic mustard, the taste is countless times better than the beginning, so the two brothers also made the same simple roasted crab into a well-known delicacy on this street, other imitators can't mix it here, they can only go to other Quyuan cottages to set up stalls, and then now in Xianyang, grilled crabs have also become a commonplace food in the streets and alleys, and therefore catching crabs has also become a money-making industry.

Nowadays, in the ditches and ditches inside and outside the city, you can see men, women and children wearing hats and carrying fish baskets everywhere every day catching crabs and touching snails, and they can earn a few dollars or even ten or twenty dollars a day of hard work, and dozens or even hundreds of dollars a month, just this inconspicuous livelihood, you can feed a family, which is also a means of livelihood that Qinghehou inadvertently opened up, so whether it is selling roast crabs or catching crabs, they are grateful to Qinghehou.

Chen Xu shook a folding fan in his hand and led Ying Shiyan to walk on the bustling street.

In addition to these snacks, there are also people selling some straw hats, hemp shoes, folding fans, crutches, and even pottery chariots, horses, and figurines and dolls, if it weren't for Chen Xu knowing that this is Daqin, he would definitely think that he had arrived in a tourist area full of ancient costumes in the later generations, and these people around him were tourists and merchants selling handicrafts.

This street is almost more than 200 meters long, looking east and west, Chen Xu soon had a straw hat on his head, and the folding fan in his hand was replaced by a pottery doll, Ying Shiyan followed him step by step, with a straw hat woven of flowers and vines on his head, and a string of grilled crabs in his hand.

At the end of Shen Shi, Chen Xu sent the happy fifth princess back to the palace, and when he returned to the Qinghe Hou Mansion to rest for a while and was about to go out of the city and return to the Qinghe Courtyard, he was stopped by a brocade robe general who came on horseback at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"It turned out to be Di Daohou, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Chen Xu was a little strange, and he didn't know why Li Xin came to him in a hurry, so he could only get down from the carriage to say hello.

"It's so late to disturb Qinghehou, and I hope to forgive my sins!" Li Xin was polite and saluted Chen Xu respectfully.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not Di Daohou who wants to lead the troops to fight, I'm idle! I don't know what Di Daohou came to say? Chen Xu returned the salute with a smile.

"This ......" Li Xin seemed to be a little difficult to speak, and his mouth opened a few times and hesitated to speak.

"Di Daohou will follow me into the house to talk!" Seeing Li Xin's stumbling appearance, Chen Xu waved his hand and asked the groom and the guards to drive the carriage into the Hou Mansion again, and then personally led Li Xin to the living room.

The two sides sat down, and after the maid served fragrant tea, Chen Xu ordered everyone to exit and close the door, and the room was instantly quiet.

"His Majesty Xuwen is preparing to attack the Xiongnu again after the autumn, and at the same time launch a surprise attack on Donghu, Di Daohou is the main general who swept away Henan, I'm afraid that this time I will go out again, I don't know when to leave?" Chen Xu asked after taking a few sips of tea.

"Just a few days later, set out at the end of July, before the cold winter comes, plunder and kill a large number of people and livestock in Huhu, as soon as the cold winter arrives, the herdsmen of Hun Hu will inevitably freeze and starve to death, only two or three years after such a raid, Hun Hu will inevitably collapse and flee, the trouble of Hun Hu will definitely collapse and become invisible, and there will be no disaster in the northwest from now on!" Li Xin nodded calmly and said.

Chen Xu didn't know about the war at all, so he never participated in the deployment of the military and the discussion above the court.

From February to June, every few days, the data of the equipment built by each county will be summarized to the Ministry of Industry, and then reported to the Ministry of War for inventory and verification, and then successively sent to the northwest military camp through caravans and soldiers, and more than 20,000 new horses have been equipped.

Because most of the first contingent of 10,000 horsemen led by Li Xin and Jiang Hu had made military exploits of several grades, these meritorious officers and men were scattered and assigned to the new contingent of horsemen to serve as officers at all levels, and four new-style horsemen were reorganized and trained with the old and the new. It also summed up a lot of experience in the battles of Henan and Hebei for reform and popularization.

In the past few months, more than 30,000 new horsemen have become super armed beyond the military power of this earth era, and if the supply is sufficient and the logistics can keep up, it is estimated that these more than 30,000 new horsemen will not have much problem sweeping the entire Central Asia, West Asia and even Europe.

Of course, this is impossible, first of all, it is not enough to run away from the homeland for a long time, one horse or two horses are not enough, at least one person and three horses are needed, and a large number of materials must be carried, and the most important factor leading the victory of the war is not only the force value, the most important thing is logistics and the stability of the country, and then there is luck.

Logistics support is not enough, this seemingly powerful army that can make holes every day is estimated to be wiped out before it can run into Central Asia, the climate along the way is not adaptable, altitude sickness, desert drought, food and drinking water can not be guaranteed, coupled with illness and lack of medicine and other circumstances, 30,000 people may collapse at any time, and once this army fails, what will follow is that the new horse equipment will inevitably fall into the hands of the Western Regions, and then soon spread to Central Asia and West Asia and other places, once the Great Qin soldiers lose the advantage of stirrups and saddles, When dealing with the powerful empires of Anxi and Macedonia, it is basically not too much advantage, not to mention that the labor expedition is even more dangerous.
