Chapter 20 The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red
When they arrived at the foot of Sunset Mountain, Xu Hao instructed everyone to go back to the mountain first, and he continued to rush to Qixia Town alone.
This time, Xiangyunling and his entourage have gained a lot, and the water diversion project that Xu Hao is thinking about can finally be implemented, and there is no water on the mountain, which is inconvenient after all.
Entering Qixia Town, Xu Hao directly found Jia Ren, thinking that Jia Ren had no concept of waterwheels, and it would take a lot of trouble, but he didn't want Xu Hao to say it, and Jia Ren instantly understood. Because Chu is originally a hilly area, although most of the nearby villagers make a living by collecting medicine and hunting, there is still a lot of farmland reclaimed on the mountain, and the daily irrigation of these farmlands still requires water trucks to send water to the mountainside.
So the watermill is not a new thing in the local area.
However, the general waterwheel still needs to be stepped on by manpower, and the waterwheel in Xu Hao's heart is driven by the wind, which is simply a windmill as the power to replace the manpower to tread water. After talking for a long time, Jia Ren finally understood Xu Hao's request.
Next, Xu Hao negotiated a long-term material supply problem with Jia Ren. It is Qixia Town that is responsible for all the usual expenses of Sunset Mountain, and the monthly settlement of silver money. As for Jia Ren's own secrecy work, Xu Hao didn't have to worry about it, and it was expected that with Jia Ren's exquisite methods, this would still be difficult for him.
Another point that made Jia Ren quite satisfied, that is, Xu Hao intentionally or unintentionally revealed that Sunset Mountain would wipe out all bandits within a radius of 100 miles from Qixia Town, and after seeing the strength of Sunset Mountain, Jia Ren did not doubt it.
The two sides had a good conversation. Near noon, Jia Ren wanted to leave Xu Hao for lunch, Xu Hao politely declined, but only asked Jia Ren to go to Luoxia Inn to book ten tables of banquets, and prepare more food, raw and cooked. In the evening, someone will come to the sunset mountain.
After everything was explained, Xu Hao returned to Sunset Mountain.
As soon as I entered the gate of the village, I heard a commotion in the cottage, and with the sound of searching, I saw many people in front of the warehouse, and they were all happily pointing around the warehouse.
Xu Hao smiled and walked in through the crowd.
"Young Master Hao, Young Master Hao," along the way, people kept greeting Xu Hao, and their faces were full of sincere respect.
Walking into the warehouse, I saw Qin Tian and the fat man smirking around a pile of gold and silver.
Seeing Xu Hao coming in, the two greeted Xu Hao in unison.
"Fatty, look at your little bit of goodness! This little bit of gold and silver will make you like this. Xu Hao said this, and his face was already happy.
The fat man gave Xu Hao a big roll of his eyes.
When Qin Tian heard Xu Hao say this, he hurriedly restrained his smile, looking like a light breeze.
Xu Hao was also lazy to talk to this pair of living treasures, turned around and said to the people of Sunset Mountain with a smile: "Brothers, today is just the beginning, others drink wine and eat meat, why can we only eat steamed buns and pickles, in the future, we will have wine and meat for the dynasty!"
In a few words, the Sunset Mountain helped everyone smile and be passionate.
"I've ordered food and drink in Qixia Town, and we'll get drunk tonight!"
There was a "coax", and there was a burst of cheers.
Lunch was still steamed bread and pickles, which were brought by Qi San's eldest girl, and the meat had not yet been prepared. Xu Hao didn't have much appetite when he looked at it, but found that this girl had been peeking at the white-flour steamed buns on the table, secretly swallowing saliva.
"What's your name, and are your family all settled?"
The country girl didn't know the etiquette, but just stood timidly and replied: "My lord's words, my name is Da Lian, my sister's name is Xiao He, thanks to the old man, our family has lived, and my father also told me to thank Master Xu in person." ”
It's the lord again
"Am I that old? Don't call me master in the future, just follow everyone to shout young master!" Xu Hao is now at ease with the title of young master.
"The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red, which is a bit interesting. Xu Hao casually read out the last two lines of Yang Wanli's poem "Xiao Out of Jingci Temple to Send Lin Zifang".
The little girl who listened to the clouds and mountains covered the fog.
"In the future, you don't want to call it Da Lian and Xiao He, why don't you call it Bi Lian and Red Lotus?" Xu Hao looked at the little girl and said.
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, how could she think that the name chosen by the young master was much better than the original name, and the joy in her heart was revealed on her face, the little girl's appearance was already with her mother, with red lips and white teeth, apricot eyes and nose, this smile is really a bit of a charm. looked at Xu Hao for a moment.
Xu Hao hurriedly gathered his mind, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and it would definitely be a disaster if he was a few years longer.
"Young Master Xie, this name sounds good!" The girl was happy, and she was not as nervous as before.
"Hehe, I also took it randomly, if you like it, but don't forget to go back and ask your father's opinion!" Xu Hao said with a smile.
"I haven't eaten yet, let's take the steamed buns on the table and eat them, I don't have an appetite. Xu Hao pointed to the two steamed buns on the table.
"I don't dare, my father knows that you have to scold me to death!" the little girl stuck out her tongue, and her naughty nature was finally revealed.
"Don't get in the way, you just eat secretly at my place, and after eating one, take the other back to your sister! Xu Hao felt that this little girl was getting more and more interesting.
"Is it really possible?" said the little girl, glancing at the steamed buns on the table and swallowing her saliva.
Xu Hao didn't say anything, walked to the table, picked up two steamed buns and stuffed them into the little girl's hands.
"I'll watch you eat, don't go back until you finish eating!"
"Haha" Xu Hao was in a good mood.
"Later, when you've stuffed yourself and come back to bring me food, I'll tell the kitchen to let you start early. ”
"Besides, you're growing now, and you can't go hungry all the time. Xu Hao glanced at the little girl's chest that had begun to take shape and said.
Suddenly, the little girl's face was flushed, and she escaped from the small building with two steamed buns, and rushed out of the small building, and her heart and liver were still "plopping" and jumping, but there was an inexplicable burst of joy in her heart.
Xu Hao touched his nose in a sneer, as if he had said the wrong thing
But this girl is much cuter than the fat man.
The wine and food in the evening, before waiting for someone to be sent to the mountain to get it, the proprietress of the Luoxia Inn personally took a few people to send the wine and food up the mountain, this time seeing Xu Hao did not dare to laugh, but Xu Hao felt a lot more boring. After settling the money, the proprietress went down the mountain early. The gang on the mountain swallowed saliva and watched the proprietress go down the mountain step by step.
Sunset Mountain has not been so lively for a long time, and a dinner will not disperse until dawn.
Xu Hao didn't know how much wine he was poured into, and Qiu Fatzi was poured down early!
After sleeping until three o'clock in the morning, Xu Hao was still awakened by a urge to urinate.
When I opened my eyes, I had a splitting headache, and I staggered out of the small building to find a place to put the water.
When I turned around and walked to the small building, I saw Bilian, the little girl, standing at the door with an embarrassed face, not leaving, not leaving.
Dare to love Xu Hao's scene of releasing water just now let this little girl see it.
Xu Hao touched his forehead, and his head seemed to hurt more and more.
"Bilian, do you have something to do with me?" Xu Hao held his head with one hand and the wall with the other, hurry up and pretend
The little girl's little face burned badly, and she lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a gnat: "Young master, someone came down from the mountain, and it was said that the things ordered by the young master had arrived, and the Qin gang leader didn't know what the young master ordered, so please hurry over once." ”
"Bilian, pour me a glass of water first, I'm dying of thirst. ”
"When did the people from the mountain come up?" asked Xu Hao after drinking a full cup of tea in one go.
"It's been about an hour, and seeing that the young master hasn't woken up, the slave doesn't dare to disturb the young master. "The little girl spoke in a lot of manners, and I don't know who trained her when she went back yesterday.
After speaking, the little girl handed a hot towel to Xu Hao.
"By the way, I went back and asked your father, do you still like the name I gave you?" Xu Hao asked while wiping his face.
"Well, my sister is also very happy! I still have to rush to serve the young master today. ”
"Didn't win you?" Xu Hao quipped.
The little girl knew that she was speechless, and her face was flushed with shame.
Xu Hao was not difficult for her, and took her to see Jia Ren.
Jia Ren's efficiency is really speechless, not to mention that everything is ready, and he has brought more than a dozen craftsmen.
Xu Hao was not verbose, took them to the waterhole on the mountainside, briefly explained his general intentions, and let them do it, and did not forget to tell them that if they had problems digging on the cliff, they could find him at any time.
After a long time, his head was still awake, and Xu Hao did not send Jia Ren down the mountain, and returned to the small building alone to continue sleeping.
When I woke up again, it was already dark, and the building was already lit up, thinking that Bilian had already come when Xu Hao was asleep.
Xu Hao put his hands behind his head, looking at the roof in a daze and feeling bored.
It's been a while since Humen, and I don't know how the war is going in Humen.
Just when Xu Hao thought of Humen, Humen at this time was experiencing an unprecedented catastrophe.
