Chapter Seventy-Seven: Li Xun Arrives with Watermelons

'Bang', a big watermelon was brought out of the well, Li Xun laboriously held it and moved it to the table under the big tree on the side of the road, picked up the knife next to it, and thrust it into it.

After a few more cuts, the whole watermelon was divided into pieces.

Zhang Xiaobao picked up two pieces first, handed one to Wang Juan, and then opened his mouth to bite it, "Sweet, don't put anything on this, the normal ripe watermelon is really sweet." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao raised his head and sighed, looking very comfortable.

Wang Juan also took a big bite, the red juice on both sides of his mouth, squinted his eyes with satisfaction and said: "I finally ate it, I didn't put anything else, it's delicious, cool and thirst-quenching, our shaved ice can also be made into watermelon flavor." ”

Li Xun ate much quieter, biting one bite at a time, and when he heard Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's words, he asked suspiciously: "Xiaobao, could it be that this cold melon can be put into something else?" ”

"Yes, you can put sugar, you can get some red things, take them off in advance and cover them with a quilt, we don't need to eat this, you should have a lot of them there, right?" Pull two carts over tomorrow, this melon will be eaten in a while, don't throw the skin, don't throw the melon seeds, and keep it to make something to eat. ”

It is not easy for Zhang Xiaobao to eat a mouthful of melon, especially the first melon, which is commemorative, and he is ready to mix a cold dish in the green place in the melon skin.

Li Xun hesitated, "This melon has been bitten by others, and then it is a little bad to make a dish?" ”

"Cut off the bite first, do the rest, make a cold dish and chill it, put some sugar and vinegar in it, sweet and sour, you don't want to eat it, don't grab it from us then."

After Zhang Xiaobao finished saying this, he spoke out again, eating one by one, regardless of whether he could eat his stomach badly, until he couldn't eat anymore, he stopped, touched his stomach back and forth with his hand, and occasionally burped.

Wang Juan didn't eat less, but fortunately he saw Zhang Xiaobao's appearance, controlled it in advance, was not supported, put down the melon skin in his hand, washed his face and hands in the basin prepared next to him, and said loudly to the people who were shouting slogans on the road:

"Train well, wait for a while to finish training, give you melons, use the melons from the well water town, eat a bite, sweet to the heart."

It's better if she doesn't shout, the fifty-six people can hold on, after this shouting, the tiger among the fifty-six people can't stand it first, he has been shouting slogans just now, and he has to follow the same, his throat is smoking, when he hears that there are melons to eat, he feels that the sun on his head is bigger again, his feet are a little heavier, and he is panting harder.

This is the fifth training session, five consecutive days, at first I thought I could get through it very easily, but I was tired on the first day, and in the next few days, it became more and more demanding day by day, and the days became hotter and hotter day by day.

Before the instructor could become an instructor, four people from Yushu Village came to report that they had not yet practiced well, so naturally they could not become instructors, so they could only train with forty people, and Huzi was responsible for shouting slogans.

It's been an hour since I walked today, and I haven't stopped, so that everyone almost collapsed, the clothes on my body have long been soaked, but the movement is not standard, shouting to turn left, and a third of the people turned in the wrong direction, which made Wang Juan very dissatisfied.

So let them drink some mung bean porridge, and practice for half an hour, then they can rest for a while, and now Wang Juan is still shouting to let them eat watermelon, and they all feel that their hearts are about to burst into flames.

Li Xun was also watching from the side, he really couldn't understand what Wang Juan was going to do, this idea of what kind of training was made by Wang Juan, and he also asked people to do those actions, in Li Xun's opinion, this action is not as good as a soldier's drill, he doesn't wear any armor on his body, he doesn't hold any weapons in his hands, he just walks back and forth there, and it seems that he can't train soldiers.

Puzzled in his heart, Li Xun wiped his hands with a hand towel and asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, "You guys are going to train the army?" You can't use this method, it's useless, when you really encounter a war, these people don't even know how to use weapons. ”

"Where is the army? It's just to let them stand in a row and look interesting, neat, and when the time comes, they just go out to support the scene, if they don't fight, they won't need us to fight, and they are far away from the places around where they can fight. ”

Zhang Xiaobao naturally did not tell Li Xun that these people were specially used to protect the Zhang and Wang families in the future, and now this kind of training is not training combat effectiveness, but cultivating cohesion and a resolute attitude towards the execution of orders, and at the same time cultivating willpower.

Just a casual explanation.

If someone else said this, Li Xun would believe it, but what Zhang Xiaobao said, he had to think about it carefully, he suspected that there were traces of that master behind these people's training, if this was the case, it would definitely have a deep meaning, and it seemed that he had to learn too.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Are these orders?" Is there anything else that hasn't been taken? I'll go and let people practice and play, and then we'll see if it's my people who train and if you're all in order. ”

"Oh? Li Gongzi also wants to learn? Okay, then it's going to be a comparison, there are still some passwords, you can't teach them now, they haven't figured it out yet, if you add more, they're even more messy, go back and write some passwords, draw the picture for you, how is our supermarket?

The place in Huayuan County has not been repaired, it is being repaired, we in Sanshui County looked at it when we came back, and it has been delivered to it, you came here to pass by, did you go in to see? ”

"Go, don't mention it, it opened yesterday, I went to see it yesterday, just taking advantage of the opportunity to play there this time, there are indeed a lot of people who go in, one by one to see the fresh, rich people will also buy something, but there is an ordinary people's family, I see her go to the place where she sells meat, buy one or two at a time.

It's nothing, one or two let's sell, we don't use oil paper to wrap when others buy things, and finally give a pocket made of paper to make it easy to take, she actually bought a pound of meat in a row, each time it was one or two, using ten pieces of oiled paper and ten pieces of hemp rope, not to mention, and took ten pockets from the supermarket.

What is this called, what's the use of tossing others? As a result, I asked people to ask, you can't guess the reason why she took those paper pockets, she said to go home for her son to practice calligraphy, and come here to get paper. ”

Li Xun was a little depressed and talked about the situation he saw in the supermarket, in addition to this one who bought a pound of meat in ten parts, there were also some people who sold other things, such as buying rice, some people were careful, and they picked one grain at a time, and even wanted to take advantage of the crowd to steal things.

Fortunately, some people were arranged to pretend to buy things with others, and they also put people in key places to watch, there was a scholar who was caught stealing sausages, not to mention that he brought it himself when he came in, and what was even more annoying was that some people didn't take it out, and they ate it directly there.

Zhang Xiaobao originally had no bottom in his heart, listened to Li Xun's words, thought about it and said: "It seems that our rules have to be changed, and in the future, the paper bag will be more exquisite, and it will be sold for a penny, and if you really want to buy something, and you don't have a basket, you can buy it for a penny."

The other kind of people who go back and forth ten times as you say, if you want to buy it, bring your own guy, at most give him two pieces of oiled paper, your pocket is not to think about it, and there are some places to eat, send more people, if you want to buy it, you can pay it directly there, as for saying that you bring things in yourself, catch it, and it's not a place without storage,"

"Storage, don't talk about storage, there are many people who are not ready to buy things, they just want to go in and see a fresh, but they carry a live chicken and run to the storage place to store, it's not easy to manage at all, you can't put a few chicken cages in the storage place, right? So what if someone drives a pig over? ”

Li Xun was also very dissatisfied with the matter of deposit.

Zhang Xiaobao was speechless for a while, and could only sigh at the toughness of those people.

Wang Juan said next to him: "From then on, it will be stipulated that no living things will be sent, and no matter whether the thing will be broken when deposited, at most it will be stored for a day, more than one day, when the person who deposited it does not want it, it will be handled by the supermarket, otherwise, someone will store two catties of tofu, and if you don't come to get it for a few days, it will not become stinky tofu?" ”

"Wang Juan is right, we can't do things well all at once, look at it little by little, find a way to solve it when we have something, find more people to discuss, and then we can do a good job in the supermarket, what about the boat?"

Zhang Xiaobao also reported the idea of seeing the move for some things that might happen.

Li Xun just sighed, you can't tear down the supermarket, the things inside are cheap, he also saw many people queuing up to buy things yesterday, whether it is a picture and novelty, or really need, just buy it, wait for everyone to gradually get used to this place, and you can come over to buy things in the future.

Listening to Zhang Xiaobao ask about the ship's business, he was finally not as depressed as he was just now, and said happily: "I found a few more people who were willing to do business together, and after Mi Fan was put back, he took good care of the ship's business, and also sent a few people who were good at shipbuilding to do things at the dock where they were pressed."

The big ships have already begun to be built, and at that rate, it will be possible to enter the sea next summer, but now we can't go too far, but only where the Yellow River flows into the sea. ”

"Then rest assured, Mi Fan, remember to take him with you when you go to sea, if you find him uncomfortable, then the people on the boat must be careful, the three workshops and the craftsman's academy that cooperated with them are not many people to sign up, among them a large number of people from outside?"

Zhang Xiaobao was about to do a big thing, and he was afraid of being fettered by other things, so he had to ask one by one to see where he needed some things that he personally handled.

"Yes, there are indeed many people who sign up there, especially foreigners, much more than locals, after all, it doesn't cost money to learn a craft, and there is money to get." When Li Xun talked about the craftsman's school, he was very excited, and he had a share here.
