"By the way, father-in-law, didn't you just say that when you are training in the army, you can ask for help if you have difficulties? I'll tell you the truth, I really have something to ask my father-in-law. Liu Yuan suddenly said a little embarrassed.

"Well, if you call the old man father-in-law, it is naturally a family, and if your family has something, how can you not help, if you have any problems, just say it." Cui Jing said generously.

Liu Yuan's stinky boy, in the past, he didn't argue with himself, for his daughter's sake, Cui Jing put up with him again and again, and now seeing Liu Yuan, who is so strong, he actually took the initiative to put down his body and ask himself for help, Cui Jing had a sense of pleasure in his heart, and even his lips turned up, as if to say: Hehe, Xiaoxiang, I said, you always have a time to beg me.

"The son-in-law wants some special ropes."

"What? Cordage? Cui Jing was a little unconvinced, and asked one more time.

I thought that Liu Yuan wanted a field or a land, or a house, a craftsman or something, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, what he asked for was a rope, and Cui Jing thought that he had heard it wrong for a while.

Liu Yuan said with certainty: "Yes, it is the rope, but the rope that the son-in-law wants is a bit special, the size should be small, the weight should be light, in addition to the length should be long, the weight should also be large, the current rope is big and thick, it is very difficult to use, and I can't find a good one on the market, so I can only ask my father-in-law for help." ”

Now the rope, mostly straw rope and hemp rope, straw rope weight but insufficient weight, a little longer is easy to break, hemp rope can be very long, the weight is enough, but the weight is too heavy, a bundle is less than dozens of catties, very impractical, this makes Liu Yuan a little helpless, like a special force, a good rope must not be less, like the later generations of advanced technology, there are nylon ropes, mountaineering ropes. Some hair sizes can hang an adult man, which is very powerful, but now it is the Tang Dynasty, there is no such technology, and there is no place to buy it if you have money.

"How long is the rope?"

"At least twenty zhang," Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment and whispered.

Cui Jing was also embarrassed all of a sudden, this requirement is a bit special, a rope must be more than twenty zhang, and there must be enough weight, which is really a problem. Even regardless of the cost, the use of silk and satin is not enough to bear the force, needless to say, these ropes must be for those who are proud of the military, and a big man has more than a hundred catties to say the least. With the addition of armor, weapons, and a certain amount of supplies, it would be nearly two hundred catties. The most important. It is also required to be lightweight.

After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Cui Jing said: "Your requirements can actually be done, but it is quite difficult. ”

Liu Yuan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Please make it clear to your father-in-law." ”

At the same time, to meet the four characteristics of small size, long length, light weight and heavy load, the old man only thought of two ways. First, in the jungle in the south, there is a kind of vine called Ugin vine, which climbs trees and grows, tough and long. It weighs very lightly when it is dried; Another method is that there is a wild silkworm called the purple golden silkworm, which will spit out a kind of silk with a golden color, which is very tough after being processed by a skilled craftsman, and it is not a problem to have a heavy load, small size, and a length of twenty or thirty zhang, and it is extremely light in weight, but both of these things are rare and not easy to obtain. Cui Jing shook his head and said.

Ugin vine? Purple Golden Silkworm?

It was the first time for Liu Yuan to hear these two things, and he had to sigh, the world of the great world is really strange.

"As long as there is it," Liu Yuan bit his lip and said, "Even if the price is a little higher, you have to look for it." ”

"Well, the old man can order all the states to find and buy on behalf of the Ministry of Industry according to the needs of the Ministry of Industry."

"There's Father-in-law."

Cui Jing didn't pay attention to such trivial matters, turned his head to Liu Yuan and said: "You said that the matter of building the bridge, how to solve it, the old man still doesn't understand, you tell me carefully." ”

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, father-in-law, please take a seat, and the son-in-law will explain to you slowly." ”

"Well, that's good."

Weng and his son-in-law closed the door and kept plotting in the study, until they were about to eat, when they were interrupted by the little mother.

"Senior brother, senior brother," the little lady stood outside the door and whispered.

Liu Yuan opened the door and asked curiously, "Little lady, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Niang said a little embarrassed: "It's getting late now, then, the old general Cheng asked me to ask you when you can have dinner." ”

Getting late?

Liu Yuan looked up, the sun was setting, the lights were on, the sky was about to get dark, he and Cui Jing were engrossed, and they didn't know what to do when it was dark, no wonder it was a little difficult to read the drawings just now, because it was a secret discussion, Yahuan or the servants all exited the study, and no one lit the lamp.

"Okay, go right away, you go and let the kitchen prepare quickly, by the way, what about Princess Changle?"

Invite the old demon king Cheng and the five of them to discuss, and sure enough, they are not polite to themselves, they come before the meal, and they have to be entertained again, it seems that these old guys want to treat this place as their own canteen, Liu Yuan is a little speechless, they are all human and old foodies.

The little lady pursed her lips and said with a depressed face: "It's not the old general Cheng, as soon as he came, he shouted and screamed, and he stood next to the princess, claiming to be an uncle, and wanted to teach her to play cards. ”

This demon king of the world, this shameless and skinless thing can only be done by him, Liu Yuan shook his head, and asked Xiao Niang to let the people in the kitchen prepare, and then walked out of the hall with Cui Jing.

"Xiaoyuan, I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with these old generals, and your position in the army is not bad for your career." Cui Jing said with satisfaction as he walked.

"It's nothing, it's just a casual conversation."

"Well, you're doing a good job with this ice cream, your uncle's biggest fear is heat, remember to give it to him more to relieve the heat in the future, understand?" Cui Jing said suddenly.

Han one, the one who likes to eat is you, one person ate a whole can of ice cream, and it was not enjoyable to use a small bowl, so he dug up and ate it directly with the jar, saying that it was for Cui Shang to eat, Liu Yuan really didn't believe it, but this thing is not difficult to make, and the cost is not high, Liu Yuan naturally agreed with a smile.

"Liu Yuan has seen so many generals." As soon as he entered the hall, Liu Yuan hurriedly saluted the old generals.

Qin Qiong, Yu Chi Jingde, Li Jing and Cheng Lao Demon King played cards together, while Niu Jinda sat on the sidelines, looking a little preoccupied.

Cui Jing also smiled and said, "General Qin, General Li, General Wei Chi, General Cheng and General Niu, a few Yaxing are good, Cui is late and can't meet him from afar." Please forgive me for my sins. ”

This is said at a high level, and it is said modestly, but in fact, he thinks of himself as half a master, because it is the master's business to greet guests, and now Cui Jing is saying this, it is clear that he is highlighting his status, who made him Liu Yuan's father-in-law, because of this identity, he is secretly superior.

"Cui Shangshu is good."

"I thought you weren't coming, it looks like your son-in-law was plotting. It's not like we're discussing how to trick us old guys. Seeing that it was Cui Jing, who was a peer, they all stood up and snorted, and the old demon king Cheng also teased.

Cui Jing raised his eyebrows and said unceremoniously: "I still have the credit of the Qinghe Cui family, General Cheng looks down on the Qinghe Cui family or can't trust Cui." Let's not talk about it. ”

"No, no. Just kidding. Cui Shangshu doesn't have to be angry, it's Cheng who is wrong. Old Demon King Cheng's face turned red, and he quickly explained.

The dignified Qinghe Cui clan, even Li Er has to respect three points, how dare the old demon king of Cheng laugh and laugh at the Qinghe Cui clan. Isn't that just laughing at the world's corporal clan? Although he was not close in the past, he was still in awe of him, and the old demon king Cheng did not dare to be as skinless and faceless as in the past, and hurriedly compensated Cui Jing.

Everyone can hear it. It's a joke, but he doesn't think it's a joke, so you'll have to explain.

This is called one thing descending one thing, glutinous rice to cure psyllids.

Wei Chi Jingde smiled and said: "I didn't expect Cheng Laohei to be afraid, Cui Shang don't be angry, this kind of skinless and faceless Tian Shenu, just ignore it, the more you ignore him, the more proud he is." ”

"Ha Luha, General Wei Chi is joking, Cui doesn't know that General Cheng is joking, Cui is also joking with General Cheng, and the effect is not bad." Cui Jingha smiled, and the serious face just now suddenly became a spring breeze, and the change was so fast that even Liu Yuan was a little stunned.

The Sichuan opera didn't change its face so quickly.

"Ha Luha, Cui Shangshu is really funny, he really bluffed my old Cheng just now."

Li Jing also smiled and said: "I didn't expect to be able to talk with Cui Shangshu about wine, Li is really honored." ”

"How dare you, how dare you, a few heroes who can be founded, and have the merit of the dragon, Cui Jing has always admired you, but he is busy with business, and he just sees more and less gatherings, and on the sixth day of June, Cui Mou's little girl came out of the cabinet, and asked a few generals to appreciate their faces."

"Definitely, definitely."

"Cui Shangshu is so polite."

Liu Yuan put down his hanging heart just now, just now he was afraid that his father-in-law would look down on these generals, and he was unwilling to share their interests, and he would fight, but now it seems that his worries are superfluous, Cui Jing's old boy, IQ and EQ are extremely high, naturally he will not make a few scholars because of a little thing, looking at a few people as enthusiastic as brothers meeting, Liu Yuan also has to admire their control of their emotions.

Those who come here today are all seeking wealth for themselves, and they don't have to ask for anger.

After a moment of silence, Fluttershy came up and asked, "Master, the kitchen asks, is it time to serve the food?" ”

Before Liu Yuan could say anything, Cheng Lao Demon King immediately shouted: "Come on, go on, I've been hungry for a long time, in order to come here to eat a good meal, I Lao Cheng only ate two Hu cakes and a small bowl of noodle soup at noon, just to keep my stomach for a big meal." ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Liu Yuan smiled and said to Fluttershy, "Okay, let them serve the food." ”

"Yes, young master." Fluttershy responds and turns back.

There is a cool breeze tonight, and it is not to the small room to cool down with ice, so a banquet is placed in the main hall, when sitting, a little troublesome, with Cui Jingzai, one by one refuses to sit in the chief, they all push it to others, and argue for a while, the most rearly is ranked according to age, the older Wei Chi Jingde was pushed to sit in the first place, Cui Jingju is on the left, Li Jing is on the right, and Liu Yuan is naturally at the bottom.

In order to entertain his future father-in-law and a few old foodies, Liu Yuan prepared quite well, and the good dishes were served one after another, which made everyone addicted, but he was very restrained about the wine in the cup, and they all tasted it lightly, and they didn't move much, and everyone knew that there would be a big negotiation in a while.
