Chapter 64: Mentor

Qin Han looked at Li Ding, who was sitting on the first seat, and shrunk his neck, this is the second time he has seen Li Ding, the first time he only cared about returning to Emperor Jin's words, and did not look carefully.

Li Ding's tall body and the momentum on his body were a little oppressive to Qin Han, after all, he was here to find someone to help with things, so he was embarrassed.

Qin Han bowed at Li Ding and said respectfully.

"Uncle Li, my little nephew has been disturbed a lot when he first arrived, and I hope Uncle Li will forgive me. The little nephew knew that his uncle's family lacked everything, so he brought him some new things. ”

Qin Han waved his hand at Wang Xiaoming and Da Niu, and the two of them walked over with a big bucket and a jar.

Li Ding looked at the vat, and there was a faint cold air floating out of it, ice?

Li Ding looked at the ice cube and was a little surprised. This kid actually has ice cubes? It's July, it's already hot, and the palace has just begun to open an ice cellar. But after all, it is not the hottest time, and the palace has not begun to reward the ministers. I haven't heard of any reward from His Majesty lately, where did this kid get it?

Looking at the ice cubes in the bucket, the corners of Li Cunxin's mouth twitched. Why didn't I think of sending some ice cubes to my home to cool down, so that I had to sweat every night.

Although the two have opened a shaved ice shop together, for such a long time, Li Cunxin has only been there a few times when it is hot and has eaten shaved ice a few times.

"It's summer now, and the weather is hot and tight, so I want to come to Uncle Li to review the military books on weekdays and think about the war. These ice cubes are just the right relief for Uncle Lee. ”

Li Ding rubbed the teaglass, interesting, reviewing the military book, this stinky boy speaks well and is pleasing to people. However, it was indeed a hot day, and these ice cubes were delivered in time.

"These ice cubes?"

"These ice cubes are me and..."

Li Cunxin covered Qin Han's mouth and hurriedly said. "Dad, these ice cubes are all made by Qin Han himself, and I just saw it, it's amazing."

Hearing Li Cunxin's words, Li Ding was a little surprised. I thought that these ice cubes were bought from a lot of money, after all, there are a lot of ice cubes flowing out of the palace every year. This kid can make ice, it's summer.

"I don't know how you managed to get ice cubes in this hot summer?"

Seeing that Li Ding began to focus on ice making, Li Cunnobunaga sighed, if Li Ding knew that he had known about the ice cubes, he would inevitably accompany Li Ding to the courtyard to practice martial arts.

When it came to ice making, Qin Han scratched his head, forget it, I'm doing it once, and open the eyes of these people who haven't studied chemistry.

"Back to Uncle, they are all strange and obscene skills, and they can't be on the stage. All you need is a small saltpeter, and everyone can do it. ”

"Go, get saltpeter!"

……

Watching the water in the basin condense little by little, Li Ding's eyes widened.

"It's so magical, this hot summer, it can turn water into ice, it's interesting."

Li Ding pinched a small pinch of saltpeter and put it in the teacup, and the tea also froze after a while.

Seeing that Li Ding was happy, Qin Han struck while the iron was hot, uncovered the mud seal of the wine jar, and the fragrance penetrated into Li Ding's nostrils, making Li Ding sniffle.

"I heard that Uncle Cunxin said that Uncle is a good wine, but he is a high roller in wine, and my little nephew also brought some bad wine made by himself this time and brought it to Uncle Li to taste."

Li Ding is somewhat familiar with the taste of this wine, which is exactly the same as the one Li Cunxin brought back before, but the taste seems to be more fragrant.

Seeing that Li Ding was a little moved, Qin Han just stepped forward and poured a glass from the wine jar. "Uncle, taste?"

Li Ding took it and took a sip, full of wine, very comfortable.

Looking at Li Ding's face full of intoxication, Qin Han felt that there was something going on.

Li Ding drank the last sip of wine, smacked his lips, his gaze swept back to Qin Han and the others, and said with a smile.

"It's ice again, it's wine again, it's nothing to be courteous, say, what the hell do you want me to help with?"

Qin Han gave Li Ding a thumbs up and said with a smile. "Uncle Li, you are so discerning, I can't hide anything from you, and my little nephew really has something I want to tell you?"

Qin Han's words made Li Dingmei smile, this son was very pleasing to people.

"Let's just tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Qin Han stopped talking nonsense and told Li Ding all about the horseshoe.

……

The matter of the horseshoe attracted Li Ding's full attention, and no one knew better than Li Ding, as the supreme general in the army, how much help the appearance of this thing would be to the battlefield. In particular, the Jin Emperor recently planned to form a cavalry to deal with the Liao soldiers, and the appearance of this horseshoe was simply just right.

"Is this horseshoe really of this use?"

Without waiting for Qin Han to speak, Li Cunxin took the lead in speaking. "Dad, Xiao Han is still very reliable, don't you know, he cured Ah Chai all?"

"Ah Chai is alright?"

As for what kind of situation is like for Ah Chai, who has accompanied him for many years, Li Dingzai is very clear. I originally planned to find a famous veterinarian to take a look at it recently, but for various reasons, I couldn't stay in Anping for many days, so I delayed it, but I didn't expect to be good with him.

"Yes, Achai was able to run today, and he had a good time."

Li Cunxin bit the words in the last few words, looked at Qin Han viciously, thinking that Qin Han was riding Achai beside him again and again today, Li Cunxin was sulking.

For Li Cunxin's gaze, Qin Han glared back directly.

Li Ding stretched out his hand and put it on the wooden barrel, and the cold air swished only in his palm. After pondering for a while, he said to Qin Han.

"This matter is very important, even if I go to report to the emperor, but there is no basis for what I say, it is really difficult to trust."

Hearing Li Ding's words, Qin Han had a number in his heart. Without diamonds, there is no porcelain work, and the effect of the horseshoe has been tested by later generations, and Qin Han is very confident in it.

"Uncle Li, why don't we give it a try?"

"Oh? Get your feet wet? Just before I try it, I would like to ask if any of you two have ever seen the wine from His Majesty. ”

……

On a small road outside the city, Qin Han and a few people stood at the intersection, and on the side, two well-fed and well-fed war horses kept stepping on the ground.

Qin Han rubbed his buttocks, he didn't expect that the wine matter had already been known by Li Ding, and today he was wiped out. It's just that I didn't expect to be slapped a few times. But Uncle Li really doesn't give face, he is such an adult, and he beats his ass.

Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and if you want Li Ding to believe, you have to let him see the actual results.

Qin Han didn't have a good way to test the effect of the horse's hooves, so he could only let the horse run.

There were two horses at the intersection, one nailed and the other did not. The road is also well chosen, unlike the official road, there are potholes everywhere, and the most important thing is that many places are gravel, this kind of ground horse running on the horse's hooves is certainly not small, it is really the best place to test the horseshoe.

Li Cunxin sat on the horse and was eager to try, in order to show his support for his brother, Li Cunxin asked Qin Han to nail the horse's shoe to Hei Feng.

"Master, both horses are fine, you can start."

In order to ensure the effect, Qin Han asked Li Cunxin to call the groom to confirm the condition of the hooves of the two horses.

Li Ding looked at the two who were already ready and waved his hand.

"Let's go."

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

The two horses were very fast, and after a while, the kung fu turned into two black dots in their eyes, until they disappeared completely.

What the result will be until the two of them come back to know, Li Ding has nothing to do, so he looked at Qin Han who was standing aside. This kid still makes himself very curious, whether it is a good breed or a horseshoe, even an old man who has lived for decades has never heard of it, and no one has ever thought about it, and I don't know where he got it from.

Feeling Li Ding's gaze, Qin Han rubbed his face, why, has his handsomeness already made men react?

Li Ding raised his hands behind his back and looked at Qin Han with a smile. "I heard that on the day of the banquet, you won me five hundred taels of silver?"

Qin Han's heart tightened, and the main person asked, wouldn't he want to ask for the silver back.

Qin Han rubbed his hands and whispered. "Well, Uncle Li, some money has already been spent."

Qin Han's words made Li Ding stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"I can win all five hundred taels, it can be seen that this literary style has been recognized by several scholars, and I heard you talk about military affairs that day, and it is also the head of the way, I don't know who you are learning from?"

Qin Han was really asked, he went to school for eighteen years from childhood to adulthood, and the teachers who taught him were not a hundred but dozens, how can he remember clearly, this is not counted yet***, Mr. Bodo, if you count it, I'm afraid it's not easy to say.

"Well, this little nephew has always been self-taught, uncle, do you believe it?"

"Click!"

Seeing that the branch in Li Ding's hand was broken into two sections, Qin Han wiped his sweat.

"Don't talk about uncle, I don't believe it either. In fact, one winter five years ago, an old man with a white beard collapsed at the door of my house. How can a person like the little nephew, who respects the old and loves the young, and has noble virtues, not save him when he sees death.

When the old man woke up, he was amazed to see his little nephew's bones and developed mind, and he was astonished. insisted on accepting the little nephew as an apprentice, but the little nephew repeatedly shirked it, but he really couldn't shirk it, so he had no choice but to apprentice.

It's just that unlike other gentlemen, the teacher never taught the Four Books and the Five Classics, but taught a lot of geometric algebra, mathematical statistics, as well as physical chemistry and biogeography.

In one year, the little nephew learned everything about his teacher. The teacher sighed that the family had never been as smart and handsome as the little nephew. Saying that there was nothing left for me to give, he finally left a book for his nephew and left, just telling him not to mention himself to anyone in the future. ”

Li Ding directly filtered out some adjectives in Qin Han's words and asked. "I don't know what kind of book you left behind?"

"It's called Marxism."

"But still have it?"

Qin Han shook his head and said. "The teacher told the little nephew that he was going to destroy it after reading it, and the little nephew only read it for two days and remembered it all, so the book was burned by the little nephew a long time ago."

Li Ding sighed and said helplessly. "It's a pity that I can teach you to become a talent in just one year, and that book must be a masterpiece.

Do you know where your mentor has gone? ”

"The teacher said that in ancient times, Lao Tzu rode a ox west to Guguan, and today he has his own donkey all the way to the north."

"Do you know the name of the teacher?"

"The teacher has only confessed once, and he said that he is the bombing of the sky to help Xu Que! By the way, the teacher also has a dog, and that dog is called Ergouzi! ”
