Chapter 68: The Shadow of the Great Drought
This war horse is very powerful, and he ran back to Beiping City from Wuding River in a single pillar of incense, Hu Ye felt that his vision was good, and he found that the one who was a thousand miles of horses should be Bole like himself.
Since the wolf with him has a name, this war horse should also have a name. Hu Ye saw that its whole body was jujube red, so he named it Hongchen. The most strange thing for Hu Ye was that Hongchen turned out to be a mare. This made Hu Ye have some criticism for the Ming Dynasty army, and he was so poor that he let the mare go to war.
Now that Beiping City has the Beiping Soldiers and Horses, Hu Ye didn't dare to ride a horse in the city, so he had to jump off the horse and walk. Gao Ren was also dutiful and followed closely behind Hu Ye.
However, he obviously didn't have the old money to let go, and he came to protect Hu Ye, mostly because of Zhang Fu's orders, and a small part of it was selfishness. It is indeed because of Hu Ye that he got the opportunity to be promoted, and now Hu Ye is very popular in front of Zhu Di, maybe he will be promoted one day, as his personal guard, it seems that it is no worse than being a general flag in Zhang Fuying.
"Brother Gao, don't be sad, the weather is sunny today, you should be in a good mood." Hu Ye bought two steamed buns, threw one to Gao Ren, and said while eating.
"Young Master, what is that Newton you just talked about? I've been thinking about it just now, like when I'm leading the horse now, I feel its presence. Gao Ren also bit off the bun, and then said very puzzled.
Hu Ye's eyes were popping out at the moment, he thought that Gao Ren was unwilling to follow him, so he would be sad, but he didn't expect this thing to be thinking about Newton's problem.
"Well, I can't tell what it is, but it's just very mysterious." Hu Ye broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that this shijie had changed, why was even a big-headed soldier so interested in mechanics.
If Gao Ren asked further, Hu Ye felt that his little knowledge of mechanics was about to be hollowed out, and he would be very embarrassed at that time, so he had to change the topic, "Hey, there's a good place ahead, let's go over and have a look." ”
"Newton, Newton......" Gao Ren muttered to himself, and then followed Hu Ye unhurriedly.
This store is indeed a good place, because every item of its products is very expensive, so expensive that Hu Ye will feel distressed when he sees it.
"Boss, can this glass bottle be less?" Hu Ye held a glass bottle with a price tag of two taels, flipped left and right, and said to the boss.
"Oh, this young master, these things are all shipped from the far west, and our purchase price is very expensive, so it is already very cheap to sell at this price, and if the price is reduced again, I will lose money." The middle-aged boss replied with some embarrassment.
"One or two silver, I want this bottle, and I will order a glass product later, the price is satisfactory to you, how about it?" Hu Ye began to bargain.
He had wanted to buy a glass bottle before, but couldn't find a place. Because glass is so rare, there is no place in the Central Plains to produce it, and it is all from the West.
Now that I have found a glass to sell, I naturally want to buy one. The big tarantula squatted in the bamboo cage all day long, and couldn't see it. This is definitely not the treatment that a pet should have, so Hu Ye decided to buy a glass bottle for it, so that it will be conducive to viewing.
"You're going to make a custom glass product? What is it, don't I have it in my store now? Hearing that Hu Ye still had something to customize, the boss was immediately interested and asked curiously.
"You really don't have it in this shop, I'll draw the drawings to you."
After Hu Ye finished speaking, he took a pen and paper and drew it, and soon, a magnifying glass appeared on the paper.
However, Hu Ye's painting is very bad, and he compared it to the boss for a long time before he explained what it was.
"This thing has to be ordered by the merchants who come from the west, but you also know that they come and go, and they consume a lot on the way, this ......"
The boss said with some embarrassment.
Of course, Hu Ye knew that the boss just wanted to raise the price, but this thing was very important. Because this thing is too important to Zhu Gaoxi's surgery, the eyes of those two old Chinese medicine doctors must be bad, and to perform the operation in the heart part, it must be very precise.
So this magnifying glass is necessary, as for money, Hu Ye believes that even if it is expensive, Zhu Di will have to pay for it, and it is something related to his son's life.
"Okay, okay, money is not a problem, as long as you can get something, I'll give you as much as you want. But there is one thing, there must be no air in it, it must be very pure, if there is a little impurity, it will have no effect on me. Hu Ye said solemnly.
If there are any impurities in the magnifying glass, it will cause the deflection of light, even a little deflection, which may lead to the failure of Zhu Gaoxi's surgery, which should never be allowed.
Seeing Hu Ye so solemn, the boss also guessed that this thing must be very important to Hu Ye, so he smiled heartily, the more important the thing to the guests, the more the price can be raised. So he said happily, "Don't worry, young master, my shop is a time-honored brand, and these ornaments sold are directly supplied by Western merchants." For this thing that the young master wants, I will definitely get it for you within a month. ”
"The sooner the better."
Hu Ye also smiled, gave a tael of silver, and took the glass bottle out of the shop.
"Whew."
Walking out of the store, Hu Ye took a deep breath.
looked at the sky, "It's not too late, let's go see Yueyue by the way, I haven't seen her for many days." ”
So Hu Ye played with the glass bottle and came to Yueyue's vegetable stall while looking around.
"Yueyue, do you miss me?" When he came to the stall, he saw Yueyue lowering his head and playing with his fingers, Hu Ye shouted loudly.
"Ahh Big brother, it's you, you haven't been here for a few days, and I thought you forgot about me. Seeing Hu Ye coming, Yueyue hurriedly ran up and gave Hu Ye a bear hug.
"Where's your grandfather?" After a hug, Hu Ye asked Yueyue.
"Grandpa is still fetching water and watering vegetables at home. Recently, several wells have run out of water, and you have to go far away to get water. So grandpa is working hard these days and has no time to take care of the vegetable stall. Yueyue replied in a low voice.
"The shadow of the great drought is slowly emerging." After listening to Yueyue's words, Hu Ye couldn't help muttering to himself.
"Ah, big brother, what did you say?"
Yueyue saw Hu Ye's mouth moving wildly, and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I mean it's going to rain soon, and then your grandfather won't have to go far to fetch water." Hu Ye hurriedly said, and then handed Yueyue a tael of silver, "Yueyue, I want all these dishes, you take these two silvers to buy some delicious food, I see that you have lost weight." ”
"Ah, big brother, these dishes don't cost so much silver, I don't have any broken silver to find you." Yueyue was very flustered and rummaged in her pocket, but she couldn't find a single broken silver, and only overturned two copper plates.
"Yueyue, you don't have to look for it, you can buy some meat with your grandfather for the rest of the silver to eat and replenish your body. If the next time I see you, I'm still so thin, I won't buy your food. Hu Ye said and moved the dishes to the horse.
"Big brother, you're so nice." Yueyue's face was a little flushed, obviously a tael of silver was too much for her, and she might not be able to earn it by selling vegetables for a few months.
"Alright, it's getting dark, you should hurry up and go home." After moving the dishes, Hu Ye said to Yueyue with a smile.
"Hmm." Yueyue nodded yes, then carried the empty vegetable basket and jumped away as she walked.
Hu Ye also saw her take out the string of sugar gourds that day, sniffed it on her lips, but she was reluctant to eat it, and then put it in her arms, she said that she was going to leave it for her father.
"Poor boy, that's all I can help you with."
Looking at Yueyue's distant back, Hu Ye felt sad again.
Then he saw Gao Ren looking at him with strange eyes, as long as he also stared back with strange eyes, and then led Hongchen to the Nameless Mansion.
