Chapter 8 Plus Late Dinner
The sound reached the convoy behind them, and the whole team stopped.
"What's up ahead?"
Although Qin Qiong's voice was not loud, it was very majestic, this was the effect of long-term military governance, and at this time, his carriage was not far from here.
"Qi Guogong, there is a fish vendor in front of me who overturned the car and blocked the road." Hearing Qin Qiong's inquiry, the big man who drew his sword immediately stopped rushing forward and turned around and walked to the side of the carriage.
"You must have been the ones who went on a rampage and disturbed the people."
Qin Qiong scolded with a displeased face, and then said to the old servant who was accompanying the carriage, "Fu Bo, these fighting men are reckless, you go in person, so that you can comfort the people." ”
"No."
The old servant Qin Fu bowed down and sang a promise, and was about to step forward, when another voice sounded in the carriage.
"Slow, these days Poor Dao has been thinking about the medicine to nourish qi and blood, but I don't want the hawker's shouting to remind Poor Dao, this yellow eel meat is sweet, warm, has the effect of nourishing blood and curing weakness, and often eats it, which is very helpful to Guogong's condition, why don't Guogong let the fishmonger regularly supply some yellow eels to the house to eat."
The one who spoke, it was Sun Simiao, the divine doctor who was in the same car with Qin Qiong, who heard that it was helpful to Qin Qiong's condition, and the old servant Qin Fu was also happy, and then Qin Qiong in the car said, "That is the case, Fu Bo, you will take some silver money and buy those fish goods, if you get any more, let them be sent to the villa, and they will not be treated." ”
"No."
After a while, Qin Fu carried two large strings of copper coins to Sun Xiangfu and the two of them, who were scorching on the ground and pulling yellow eel loaches into wooden barrels, and said, "You wait for these fish goods, my family will ask for them, clean them up and go with the team, recognize the way, and if there are such fish goods in the future, they will be sent directly to the house, and there will be silver money to reward them." ”
After speaking, he handed two large strings of copper coins to the two who were a little dazed.
Sun Xiangfu, who was the first to react, quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, and took over the two heavy copper coins.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Sun Xiangfu didn't know if this title was right, so he took the copper coin and gave Qin Fu a look, but Qin Fu didn't say much to him, commanded a few guards to help them, and after a while, the loaches and eels on the ground were all caught in the bucket.
"Leading them back to the house and taking care of these things will be of great help to the master's illness." Qin Fu pointed to the wooden barrel containing the loach yellow eel and said, then turned around and returned to the carriage, and the whole team also began to set off, Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali were surrounded by four guards in the middle, pushing the wheelbarrow and following the large team slowly, just what happened just now was almost the most thrilling encounter in their lives.
Cuiyun Mountain is more than ten miles away from Xiaoheji, but the road here is much easier to walk than from the village to Xiaoheji, after all, it is the fiefdom of Yiguogong, and the road is usually repaired by Zhuang households, and along the way, Sun Xiangfu finally followed the guards to talk, only to learn that the person in the carriage was Qin Qiong.
Sun Xiangfu's mood was a little excited, and he couldn't wait to find a mobile phone to shoot a small video and post it on Kuaishou, this is a historical celebrity! It's a pity that he hasn't played with such a thing as a mobile phone in his life.
After walking for an hour on the flat road, and walking for more than half an hour on the mountain road, when Sun Xiangfu and the two were about to be exhausted, a civil structure building complex came into everyone's eyes, and they couldn't appreciate these houses that could only be seen in the film and television city in later generations, Sun Xiangfu just wanted to sit down quickly at this time and squeezed the blood blisters on the soles of his feet, but he walked continuously for three or four hours.
There were many people outside the main gate of the villa who came out to greet them, but the carriage did not stop, and entered the door directly, after all, Qin Qiong was seriously ill, and there was no need to do anything with these villagers, Sun Xiangfu and the others were taken to a small door on the side, in Qin Fu's opinion, what was helpful to Qin Qiong's condition was an important thing, so after the carriage entered the door, he walked over with a person.
"Get them some food and drink, and when they come to deliver yellow eels in the future, you will take them all."
The yellow eel loach in the bucket was quickly carried away by the subordinates of the Qin Mansion, and after a while, someone sent the empty bucket back, along with a few Hu cakes and a water bladder, Qin Fu did not stay to watch them eat and drink, and after the explanation, he turned around and entered the mansion, and the person he confessed to Sun Xiangfu to send food and drink should be the connector when they sent the yellow eel over in the future, looking at the dress, this person should be the concierge of the Qin Mansion.
"This uncle, what is your surname?"
"My name is Qin De, you can just call me Uncle De, the chief manager has explained, you will send the fish goods in the future, just report my name to the concierge, by the way, you will send it once a few days?"
"We can deliver it once a day."
Sun Xiangfu almost didn't think about it, this is the mansion of Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, and if he is familiar with it, he will have great benefits in the future, so he naturally will not give up this opportunity to get closer to historical celebrities.
"Oh, that's okay, this thing is good for Grandpa Guo's body, the more the merrier, after you finish eating and drinking, you can leave by yourself!" Uncle De was stunned for a moment and said.
You know, with the fishing technology of this period, the yellow eel is not easy to catch, the vegetable market in Chang'an City, the price of the yellow eel is more expensive than mutton, reaching 30 wen a catty, most of the time it is used as a medicinal diet by the medicinal herb shop, Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali can catch so many yellow eels every day, in Uncle De's opinion, there are some skills.
"Thank you Uncle De, it is also our blessing to be able to do our meager help for Grandpa Guo, and we will bother us tomorrow."
Sun Xiangfu naturally won't stay in the Guogong Mansion to eat and drink, and if he doesn't leave, he won't be able to return home after dark, and before they go back at night, they will have to collect a round of fish cages!
The way down the mountain is better than going up the mountain, and to Sun Xiangfu's surprise, when he turned around to look down the mountain, he actually saw two mountain bags in the distance, which looked a little familiar.
"Brother Dali, look at the mountains over there, are they familiar?"
Sun Dali, who was reminiscing about the taste of a few Hu cakes given by Uncle De, looked up and said in surprise, "Yes! Aren't these the two timber mountains in our village? I didn't think you could see it here. ”
"Are you sure?"
"I've gone up the mountain many times to get firewood, and I can't make a mistake."
"That means we can take a shortcut home."
So, the two of them were sad, Wangshan ran a dead horse This sentence is very reasonable, but even so, they saved several miles of distance than returning to Xiaoheji and then taking the muddy road back, and by the time the two arrived home in the dark, most of the people in the village had already slept.
"Brother Dali, I almost forgot one thing, we now have two pieces of money in our hands, two times, two thousand."
When the recovered fish cargo was unloaded, Sun Xiangfu remembered the two long strings of copper coins wrapped in linen cloth on the wheelbarrow, these two thousand wen are undoubtedly a huge amount of money in this village where no one even lights the oil lamp, it can buy more than 300 catties of millet rice, enough for six people in two families to eat a month's millet rice, if you cook porridge, you can barely eat for more than two months.
Sun Xiangfu's words made Sun Dali's whole person feel bad, and he wanted to shout excitedly, and Li Cuihua and a few little guys who came out to greet them when they heard the movement were also excited, so everyone felt that they had to celebrate.
Even if I ate locust steamed cakes in the afternoon, in the evening, the big guys were hungry again, and they collected more than a dozen catties of scale fish at night, Sun Xiangfu decided to cook them all, so Sun Erli and the two little guys were called out by Sun Xiangfu to call the people in the village to eat, not everyone shouted, Sun Xiangfu already had a plan for the future development of the village in his heart, he was an agricultural graduate student, half a botanist, and in terms of labor, he was even far inferior to Sun Dali, so he wanted to use the people who could be used.
There are only six families who were secretly called to eat fish soup, without exception, these six families are people with craftsmanship and labor, Wang Fu and Wang Gui are two brothers from a family of carpenters, Zhao Da used to be a butcher, killing pigs and sheep, and also fed livestock, as well as Ma Lin, Zhang Quan, who was born as a blacksmith, and it is said that he also built weapons for the army back then.
The last family has no strong men, Nie Sanniang is a widow like Li Cuihua, with three children, two boys and one girl, but the eldest is twelve years old, and it can be regarded as half a laborer, she used to be a female worker in the dyeing workshop, and it seems that she has also achieved the position of steward, raising silkworms, weaving, and making ready-to-wear She is all good, but his craftsmanship is not what Sun Xiangfu urgently needs, just because her family is the same as Sun Xiangfu's family before, and now she can't open the pot.
Six families, a total of more than 20 people, especially Wang Fu and Wang Gui brothers and Ma Lin, one has an old father, the other has an old mother, and they are all very old, and they have a slight illness, and there are daughters-in-law and children below, all of whom are eating mouths, and now they are all crowded in Sun Dali's house.
"Aunt Cuihua, first serve a bowl of fish soup to each of you, and then bring the steamed cakes made of locust powder and give one to each person!"
More than a dozen catties of fish, one pot can't be cooked at all, so Sun Xiangfu and a few people plan to wait for the next pot to eat, after all, they have eaten in the afternoon, and most of these people have been hungry for a day, after getting the fish soup and locust cakes, everyone excitedly wanted to say some words of thanks, but was stopped by Sun Xiangfu.
"Eat first."
During the day, Sun Erli invited the children of the whole village to drink fish soup, how these fish came from, everyone also knew, when they came, everyone brought their own dishes and chopsticks, but they didn't have to wait in line, they ate together.
