Chapter 12: Journey to the West
Mingyuezhai Hall, the topic of discussion now is different.
"Qi Qi Zhai Master, everything is ready, just wait until you come over. In terms of dishes, uncles and uncles, please rest assured, there have been a lot of them before, and two new dishes have been added..."I heard that there are new dishes, and these murderous and unblinking Mingyue Village bosses have dry mouths, and some of them who have no quality have begun to drool.
There is no way, the main reason is that the food in Mengxue and the youth camp is indeed outstanding, and the leaders and leaders who have rubbed the rice in the past for various reasons are impressed.
The topic gradually diverged, and everyone actually talked about the current situation, drinking tea while talking about the mountains, only to hear Liu Yuandao: "I heard that Fang Lana has captured Hangzhou City, a big city with a population of one million!" ”
Liu Sheng took over his brother's words, "Now the court is going crazy, I can't look at the box army on Jiangnan East Road, those wastes can't be counted on, it is estimated that two families will have to send troops..."
"The natives of Nanling are also not restless, and there is gossip that Dali may advance eastward. There will be no shortage of wars in the next few years, and it is the time for our generation of warriors to make meritorious contributions. Xiong Dachun is not too cold, and he also said something.
In order to get rid of the gluttony, Liu Yuan seemed to have accidentally said some important information, "As long as the matter is done on the day of Shangyuan Festival, then we can ......"
"Ahem!" Xiong Dachun reminded Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan laughed and confessed, and Liu Zhai also frowned and said nothing. Then Liu Chengliang asked the small leaders, including Li Xiang, to disband, leaving only a few masters.
Lao Huang sneered in his heart, and finally let Lao Tzu catch it! As long as you grasp this opportunity, then the entire cottage will belong to Lao Tzu, you want to go to the court to be a dog Lao Tzu doesn't care, but you can't stop Lao Tzu from enjoying happiness!
"Isn't this strategy a bit simple, will Lao Huang be fooled?" Liu Yuan changed the topic just now, naturally not just to suppress the gluttony and divert his attention, but from Liu Chengdong's instruction, to pass on the "key news" to those who care.
Xiong Dachun sneered, very determined, "He can only be fooled, otherwise he will have no chance at all after Zhao'an." When he returns, he will start inquiring, and then step by step confirm his self-righteous ideas, and finally fall into our trap. ”
"You shall not live. Since he chose this path, then don't blame us. It also happened to let Li Xiang and the little cubs in the village see blood, so as not to encounter soft feet in the future. After Liu Chengliang whispered this murderous sentence, Liu Yuan, Liu Sheng and Xiong Dachun also had complicated expressions.
Liu Sheng has always told the truth, "It's good that Lao Huang doesn't have children, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”
Everyone was silent, and Liu Yuan looked at his brother in annoyance, can't you have a snack?!
Time passed in a hurry, and soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve afternoon. Li Xiangzheng commanded the craftsmen and apprentices of the craftsman battalion to arrange the seats on the Mengxue playground, and saw Liu Susu coming over from a distance.
Ignoring the teasing smiles of Blacksmith Lei, Carpenter Zeng and others, Li Xiang walked directly to a corner with Liu Susu.
"Gifts, take them out!" Liu Susu is different from most of the eldest ladies in this era, and she is generous. may be the reason for the loss of her mother and displacement in her early years, and sometimes she even seems a little arrogant, but Li Xiang likes her character.
"Close your eyes"
"What?"
"I'm going to surprise you!"
"Oh... All right. ”
"Why not... Woo, what are you doing, woo..."Looking at Su Su's delicate little face, Li Xiang kissed it in a ghostly way. Liu Susu struggled desperately, but he just couldn't use his strength, and finally gave in.
"Actually, I didn't mean to."
"Shut up, if you dare to say it, you'll die!" Liu Susu slapped Li Xiang in shame, waved her small fist, picked up the brocade box that Li Xiang had prepared a long time ago and ran away.
Returning to the boudoir and closing the door, Liu Susu sat in front of the dresser and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. "If you want to die, if you think about it, you will bully me." Su Su waved a few small fists at the bronze mirror, then covered her face again, and laughed "giggle".
When I opened the brocade box, I found that it was three small glass bottles. Li Xiang wanted to burn out the transparent glass and increase the financial resources, but he had no clue, so he had to buy a few glass bottles from Shiyan Prefecture City at a high price for emergency.
Before he got closer, there was a good fragrance and comfortable smell in the brocade box, and in front of this smell, Su Su found that he was completely defenseless. It's as if this brocade box belongs to you, but it took many years to put it in front of you.
Hurriedly opening the cap of the bottle, Su Su was suddenly overwhelmed by the fragrance that was as strong as substance. Looking into the bottle, it was a lavender, translucent liquid.
I opened the other two bottles, which were also translucent liquids, but the color and fragrance were not quite the same. Liu Susu's arrogant heart was filled with sweetness, and she completely forgot the idea of making Li Xiang look good. Hurriedly wiped some on his body, planning to inadvertently swagger at night, and since then Susu has become a real "village flower" of Mingyue Village.
That's right, what Li wanted to give Liu Susu was a few bottles of perfume that should not have appeared in this time and space. Speaking of the birth process of perfume, Li Xiang is a handful of snot and tears.
Li Xiang, who was anxious to open up new sources of wealth, wanted to burn glass at first, but as a result, lumps of things were burned, and the embarrassed Li Xiang handed over the task to several apprentices. Later, I wanted to make wine, but I was forcibly stopped by the owner of Liu Zhai, joking, there was not enough food to eat and I was engaged in high alcohol? !
So Li thought of perfume, and asked the children of Mengxue to collect a lot of petals before late autumn and extract them with the alcohol they had made before. After hundreds of experiments in a rudimentary laboratory and wasting a lot of expensive spices and alcohol, three relatively simple perfumes were finally made by distillation and extraction.
The complete process and recipe for the perfume was only wanted to know by Lee, who wanted to write it down on a few sheets of paper. The perfume formula, along with other confidential knowledge that Li Xiang recalled, was wrapped in oilcloth and sewn into Li Xiang's clothes. These pieces of paper are not simple, with * ratios, counterweight trebuchets, muskets and cannons......
Li Xiang's series of failed research and development processes are not completely wasteful, at least the artisan household camp and the youth camp have joined forces to establish several rudimentary laboratories in the process, and have begun to study the mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology that Li Xiang recalls. As for the government and the army, I have to write down the treasure for the time being.
It's not that Li wants to cherish the broom, but some things are taken out without a plan, and they will only attract goods to the current Mingyuezhai. The so-called husband is not guilty, he is guilty, and he is virtuous!
Fortunately, not long after high school, Li Xiang still remembers a lot of knowledge, and he has to sigh at the greatness of China's nine-year compulsory education. Da Zhou's arithmetic and scientific and technological knowledge was taken by Li Xiang, and the knowledge in his mind corroborated each other, and theoretically Mingyuezhai has walked in the forefront of science and technology in this time and space. Ahem, although Li Xiang is a starling himself.
After continuous leveling, a large playground of about five acres has been opened up at the foot of the hill near the youth camp for the training of the soldiers and the youth camp.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the playground was lively, the yellow earth surface was cleaned, and dozens of large firewood piles drove away the winter cold. Directly north of the playground, on the high platform, a group of bear children are dressed up and making trouble in the heavenly palace.
Journey to the West, Li Xiang's original well-known work in time and space, was finally shamelessly plagiarized by him. When I first arrived at the cottage, a group of bear children were very disobedient, and in order to gain their recognition, Li Xiang took out Journey to the West, and the effect was of course very good. Li Xiang is still a little disciplined, and he didn't pretend to be the author, and when he met people, he said that it was written by a person named Shi Nai'an......
After the nutrition kept up, Li Xiang began to use the daily story session as a reward to urge the bear children to learn and train. Not well-behaved? The station was not allowed to listen outside, and the sad child could only go back and pester his companion to tell himself, of course, it was not as good as Li Xiang during the day.
In addition to pinyin literacy and arithmetic, he also added some physical and mechanical related knowledge. In addition, what is more important is historical exploration and national ideological indoctrination, and Li Xiang is also constantly buying books from outside the mountains in order to learn more about the history of this time and space.
For the queue, physical fitness, and battle formation training of the youth camp, Li Xiang hired disabled veterans from the village to help. Yang Yingdong and other leaders often rubbed rice with Li Xiang, and they were embarrassed, so they often helped the handle. In short, everything that Li Xiang managed was on the right track, and in another year, the strongest thirty or so teenagers in the youth camp would be able to fight.
After all, Li Xiang underestimated the cruelty of ancient times, at this time in the Great Zhou, teenagers like Xiong Chengwu and Yang Jianchuan who had reached the age of fifteen were already considered adults, and they were required to serve in the military and pay the poll tax. And the first life-and-death challenge of the youth camp and Li Xiang also came quickly, and they were caught off guard.
