Chapter 55: The Problem

When Ma Hong woke up, he saw a face, which was very close to Ma Hong's face, and almost all of it was attached to Ma Hong's face. Ma Hong's brain short-circuited at that moment, and he involuntarily reached out and punched that face.

Hearing a whoosh sound, the young man squatted on the ground with his face in his hands. Ma Hong waited until his mind was clear, and then he looked at Zhuge Liang who was squatting on the ground and said, "Senior Brother Zhuge , what are you doing to scare me in my room early in the morning?" ”

Zhuge Liang was called a junior brother by Ma Hong, who was two years younger than him, and was slapped in the face again, and he didn't make a sound for a while, just squatting on the ground with his face covered, looking sulking.

"Oops! Senior Brother Zhuge , are you not a good man? ”

Ma Hong tightly grasped the thin sheet covering his body and looked at Zhuge Liang with disdain.

Zhuge Liang covered his face and straightened up, and said leisurely: "Brother Ma, what you think in your heart is too dirty, I just have a few questions I want to ask Brother Ma." ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't call himself senior brother, Ma Hong smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother Zhuge has any questions, please ask me to wash up and then answer you?" ”

Zhuge Liang rubbed his face and said, "No, I can't wait to know." ”

Ma Hong saw that he couldn't resist Zhuge Liang, and he liked to sleep naked, and he couldn't wear clothes in front of Zhuge Liang, so he could only reply: "Okay! Senior Brother Zhuge ask! ”

Zhuge Liang showed a smile on his face, and then took out a pan from under the bed and asked Ma Hong, "How is this pot cast?" ”

When Ma Hong saw Zhuge Liang put the iron pot he used to fry vegetables under the bed, his face turned dark and said, "Of course, I asked a blacksmith to build it." ”

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "The craftsmanship of this iron pot is very good, the bottom of the pot is thinner, the heating is faster, and it is much better than Ding." ”

Ma Hong said with a dark face: "Do you still have any questions?" Don't hold my pot all the time, okay? ”

Zhuge Liang took out his bamboo pole from under Ma Hong's bed and knocked on Ma Hong's iron pot and said: "Listen, even the sound is so pleasant, you have to tell me the production process." ”

Ma Hong's face darkened, he rolled his eyes and said to Zhuge Liang: "Senior brother, it's really enough." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled, took the bamboo pole and went to pick the list covered by Ma Hong, Ma Hong was so frightened that he grabbed the list and shouted: "What are you going to do!" ”

"The second question is, how do you make this fine salt?"

Zhuge Liang blinked, took out a jar of salt from under Ma Hong's bed, poured it in his hand, licked the salt with his tongue, and looked at Ma Hong with a serious face, waiting for Ma Hong to answer his question.

Ma Hong felt a pang in his heart, and said secretly: This Zhuge Liang is really vicious, and the quality of the salt made by my hands is much higher than the coarse salt of this era, and he wants to get the process of making fine salt from my mouth.

Salt is a vital commodity of a country, and controlling salt can control the economic lifeline of a country, and the salt-making technology of this era is very immature, and even the refined salt eaten by the dignitaries and nobles is very far from the fine salt made by Ma Hong. Zhuge Liang was hungry in the middle of the night last night, and ran to Ma Hong's kitchen to find something to eat, only then did he find the fine salt and pan, and he ran to ask Ma Hong in the morning. For Liu Ye, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others, they hardly went into the kitchen, so it was difficult to find out the secret, but the teacher once held Ma Hong's salt shaker and pondered for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

For Zhuge Liang, Ma Hong doesn't know whether he will be friend or foe in the future, although he is a brother now, but he may not necessarily stand on the same warship in the future, if he tells Zhuge Liang the process of making refined salt, it is really unwise. If you don't tell Zhuge Liang about the process, even if Zhuge Liang gets the refined salt, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to come up with the production process, after all, to make refined salt, the salt ore must be crushed, dissolved, filtered, analyzed, and finally crystallized is the refined salt that people eat.

Ma Hong was thinking about how to fool Zhuge Liang, after all, with Zhuge Liang's IQ, few people could deceive him, Ma Hong's mind turned quickly, rubbed his eyes twice and replied: "Of course this salt was bought, my second brother bought it from a businessman, but well, I was also surprised, I have never seen such good salt." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded in disbelief and asked, "Salt is sold by officials and merchants, can you buy salt from merchants?" ”

Ma Hong smiled slightly and said, "Special channels, you know." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded to indicate that I understood, and then pulled out a third thing from under Ma Hong's bed, and then asked Ma Hong with his hand, "What is this?" How to wear it? ”

Ma Hong covered his forehead, looked at Zhuge Liang holding the silk underwear he made, and said to Zhuge Liang with a slightly red face: "Senior Brother Zhuge , this is a underwear on the lower body. ”

Zhuge Liang understood in an instant, picked up Ma Hong's underwear and threw it on Ma Hong's face, and then looked at Ma Hong with a look of disgust.

Ma Hong took down the silk underwear from his face and stuffed it into a thin sheet, and then asked Zhuge Liang, "Senior brother, are you still in trouble?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, took out Ma Hong's special socks from under Ma Hong's bed with a bamboo pole and said, "This should be the foot bag you sewed yourself!" ”

Ma Hong said with a sad face: "Yes. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "It looks good, you can get me a pair too." ”

Ma Hong held his head in his hands and said in pain: "Senior Brother Zhuge , I promise you, whether you want underwear or socks, I will give them to you." ”

Zhuge Liang picked up the socks with a bamboo pole and put them on Ma Hong's shoes, and then knocked on Ma Hong's **** shoulder with a bamboo pole and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you are not only handsome, but even your body is so white and tender, your skin is really like clotted fat, white and red, I thought you were a woman dressed as a man, but it may also be a woman, if it is late development." ”

Zhuge Liang smashed Ma Hong's chest with a bamboo pole as he spoke, his eyes stared at Ma Hong's neck, Ma Hong's face was purple, and he really wanted to stand up and beat Zhuge Liang.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of laughter outside the door, and Pang Tong covered his mouth and squatted at Ma Hong's door laughing, laughing breathlessly.

Zhuge Liang turned his head to Pang Tong and said, "Senior Brother Pang, come in quickly, I have a good thing for you to see." ”

Pang Tong walked in holding his stomach and said to Zhuge Liang, "What is it?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled, patted his chest and said, "Of course it's a man's treasure." ”

"A man's treasure? What's that? ”

Pang Tong touched his nose and asked.

At this time, Ma Hong suddenly remembered something hidden under his pillow, reached out and touched it, and found that it was gone, and his face turned green in an instant.

Zhuge Liang smiled and took out the book that Ma Hong had hidden from his arms and said to Pang Tong: "Senior Brother Pang, the picture of the woman on this is vivid and moving, we can all learn from it." ”

Pang Tong instantly understood the meaning, and pushed Ma Hong, who was about to come over to grab the book, to the bed with one hand, then opened the book and turned a few pages, and laughed: "Wow! This Spring Palace is well drawn, very good. ”

Ma Hong covered his head, and at this moment he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "Well, it's good, you look at the blank page at the back, it's not finished yet, I think it should be someone who drew it himself!" ”

Pang Tong smiled and said: "Twelve can paint, attracting the phoenix." Ma Laosan, why didn't you show me this thing earlier, why does the woman in this picture look so much like your cousin. ”

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and said in surprise: "I didn't expect Brother Ma to be only fourteen years old, and he has such a talent, have you tried so many postures?" Liang really admires it, and he is ashamed of himself. ”

At this moment, Ma Hong really wants to hit the wall, he really wants to hit the wall. He patted his face and could feel the pain, it wasn't a dream.
