Chapter 58: Little People 2

Hu Dugu is also a small person, but he doesn't think of himself as a small person.

In the past, he was also the head of the guards around the prince of Liao, and once the prince ascended the throne, he would be the commander of the palace guard cavalry. With tens of thousands of elite cavalry troops in charge of the Great Liao Kingdom, how could he be a small person?!

But as the bad news came, all his hopes all along: the eldest prince was actually given death by the old emperor!

The commander of his palace guard cavalry is gone! The youngest daughter of Zhang Hanlin's family in Yanjing City, which he fancied, also came to naught. The more slavery he had dreamed of was gone.

How could he be reconciled?

What's more, he may be swallowed up and enslaved by other nobles at any time. This is the most upsetting thing for Hu Dugu these days.

On that day, a slave in his family told him that he saw the princess of Shu in the Hongyan Restaurant in Ganquanfang, and a light flashed in his heart: the prince is gone, but the princess of Shu is still there, although the emperor who fled to the west has many children, but the only princess who has a name and is named is this princess of Shu. No matter how depressed she is, she is also the only princess of Daliao; Once that emperor can regroup and defeat the Jin people, he will still be the emperor of Daliao, and he will be regarded as a meritorious person in saving the princess.

In case this golden man calls, the Great Liao River will change hands......

Don't be afraid, the princess's own uncle Yelu Yu is a hero in the eyes of the gold lord, and he will not be rewarded in the future, and his own merit in protecting his niece can also have a benefit.

Hu Dugu's heart was like eating a reassuring pill, and the thoughts that had troubled him for many days finally disappeared, and he seemed to think of Zhang Hanlin's unmarried little daughter who was like the most beautiful golden lotus on the grassland......

The gentleman looks at his actions, and the peacock looks at his own flowers. Hu Dugu is a practitioner of the famous saying "heart is better than action", he called his two henchmen, asked one of them to take two guards, to the Hongyan Restaurant, find a house to live in, guard the Hongyan Restaurant, and report anything to him first. When this henchman took the order and left, Hu Dugu closed the door and asked the nephew of his own family standing in front of him to change into a homeless man and meet someone.

The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom, the topography reason, from the geographical analysis, because the altitude rises every 100 meters, the temperature drops by 0.6 degrees Celsius, so the plants on the mountain due to the temperature, resulting in the flowering period delayed. More than 70 years ago in this era that Zhou Nan has now traveled to, Shen Kuo, who was not an official at that time, went to Lushan to verify whether Bai Juyi wrote casually, but as soon as he was frozen on the mountain, Shen Kuo suddenly woke up: those who have March flowers on the flat land, and April flowers in the deep mountains, the difference between the high and low terrain is also. It was also written down in his scientific notes.

The same poem also tells us: You can enjoy peach blossoms twice a year, once at the foot of the mountain and once at the top of the mountain. Provided that the order is not wrong.

Now Zhou Nan is this feeling, the mountains are obviously much colder than the plains under the mountains, although it is April, there are just grass shoots emerging on the mountains, and the birds and beasts that smell the breath of spring have just emerged from the mountains and began to look for food. Looking at these vibrant fields, Zhou Nan suddenly thought of the sisters and brothers of the great prince of Liao who he met on the mountain last year, and now the Tianzuo Emperor of Liao is estimated to be fleeing in embarrassment in a ravine in Inner Mongolia, avoiding the pursuit of the Jin soldiers. I hope that the two siblings will listen to him and be safe and sound.

These days, Gao Yuan and they have been practicing every day, the old people of the Family Guardian Club and the newcomers who joined a few days ago, these two teams are now simply together, and they are practicing together according to the three items that Zhou Nan asked Gao Yuan. Although only a few people were able to complete it at the beginning, this family care club, which has been practicing for more than a month, has lost the impetuousness and disobedience when it was first established. But more than 170 people, except for a few who were on duty at the gate of the village, all practiced together in a down-to-earth manner, and no one complained, let alone played slippery.

Li Dayong and Sun Ning also reported to him yesterday that the two of them had tried to produce some arrows in the past few days, and about the two of them could make 150 arrows in three days.

Li Da used the workshop of the two of them, Zhou Nan also went to see it, and there were no tools for batch production, but some auxiliary special tools, such as arrow shaft planers, etc., and it was estimated that more than 100 arrows were made in three days. To make an arrow shaft, you also need to cast an arrow cluster, and then insert the tip of the tail of the arrow cluster into the head of the arrow shaft, so that it can be regarded as a qualified arrow. Grandma's, looking at an inconspicuous arrow, it's really troublesome to do. No wonder Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows - it sounds simple, it seems to be a very inconspicuous arrow, but if it is really done, it is estimated that the Wu Shu coalition army will work together, and it will not be able to do it in half a year. If Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 bows, not to mention whether Zhuge Liang could also lend them, so that others would think that it was difficult for a strong man like Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu had not stumped Zhuge Liang, and he had made his reputation stink first.

The problem of arrows cannot be solved in one sentence, after all, this thing has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is by no means something that one or two people can improve. Now Zhou Nan is most anxious about two things, one of which is his steamed wine.

Zhou Nan had already asked Shen Ding to move the steamer to the wine room that Lao Zheng Tou had already cleaned up. Since Lao Zheng Tou received the good thing of steaming wine from Zhou Nan, he vacated the small study next to his bedroom overnight, and the study and bedroom were mixed together, and all the things in the original small study were cleaned up, and according to the steaming method discussed with Zhou Nan, a stove pit was built in the center of the room, and the stove foundation was made of neat stones, and then the inside was smeared with yellow mud, and then an iron pot was placed on it. The size of the iron pot is the same as the thickness of the steamer made by Shen Ding, in order to place the steamer made by Shen Ding in the future.

Zhou Nan originally wanted to wait for Gao Yuan to come back from the playground and go to Lao Zheng Tou to steam wine together, but he was worried that Gao Yuan's departure would affect his work, so he took advantage of the afternoon time to go to Lao Zheng Tou alone. The steamer has been moved, and Lao Zheng Tou must be like a cat looking at a fish, and he won't go anywhere.

Sure enough, when I entered Lao Zheng Tou's courtyard without a courtyard wall, I saw Lao Zheng Tou and Shen Ding in the wine room, busy around the stone stove.

Zhou Nan walked into the wine room and saw that the two had placed the steamer on the iron pot, and the careful Shen Ding also made another pedestal at the bottom of the steamer, and opened two holes on the pedestal, the positions of the two holes were different, one was in the middle of the pedestal, and the other hole was at the lower edge of the pedestal. The hole in the middle of the base is connected to a bamboo pipe, and the hole at the lower edge of the base is also connected to a bamboo pipe. After Shen Ding explained, Zhou Nan understood that the bamboo pipe connected to the middle part was used to fill water into the iron pot, and the bamboo pipe connected to the lower edge was used to prevent water from overflowing and drain water outward.

The three of them are now surrounding this steaming table, Lao Zheng Tou's solemn expression, coupled with the only arrangement in the wine room, the neat and simple stone stove, the round and meticulous log-colored steaming barrel, and the incense burner lit by Lao Zheng Tou in front of the stone stove, so that all this is full of ritual and sacredness.
