After listening to Shi Lizheng and Cao Xiangzheng's words, Ye Mo said to Shi Lizheng: "Lord Lizheng loves the kid's heart with a fist, and the kid's heart is understood. Then he gave Cao Xiangzheng a deep salute, and said very respectfully: "Late Ye Mo, I have seen Lord Xiangzheng, but I don't know that Lord Xiangzheng has succumbed here, and the late student is not well entertained, and I am very frightened, and I ask Lord Xiangzheng to forgive me." ”

Cao Xiangzheng laughed, stepped forward and stretched out his arm to help Ye Mo, and said very politely: "The little queen is more polite, my old Cao is a rough person, with a straight temperament, and he likes to go straight." ”

As he spoke, he took a step back, looked Ye Mo up and down very carefully, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a talent, the dragon and phoenix among people, I have long heard that there is an immortal in this ramie village, and it is simply nonsense when I hear it, in this world, what kind of immortal is there?" It is clearly for the sake of fame and grandstanding, but in the past few months, the little descendants really have some means, Lao Cao I admire very much, but unfortunately, although my Lao Cao is also very sorry for his talents, but how can the official position be too low, and there is really nothing to be done! ”

These words made Ye Mo feel a lot of emotion, first of all, this Cao Xiangzheng is definitely an old fritter, he did it as a good person, but the good thing was not done, it was his official who was too young, and he didn't count it, so he pushed it out.

For the selection of talents, since Gou Jian successfully found Fan Li, Wen Chong two famous sages, quite a lot of experience, especially the defeat of the Huijishan army to Wu State, and after returning to China as a hostage for three years, it will be done more thoroughly, but if you have a little reputation, you will be considered and reused.

Ye Mo has been known as an immortal for more than half a year, and he is still unknown in a small mountain village, it must be said that it is not a strange thing, as the old Cao of the township, he also has a certain responsibility, but he has a low official position, so he shirks his own family.

In addition, no matter what kind of dynasty or industry, the most difficult thing to do is often the front-line grassroots work, and they must live with the front-line farmers and workers, because only in this way can we better understand their thoughts and dynamics, and can we have targeted work.

The hard work in this can be described as indescribable.

When Ye Mo was alleviating poverty for three years in his previous life, he had a deep experience, so he felt a little close to this township, which was equivalent to the superior leader of the poverty alleviation village party secretary in his previous life, so he was more respectful in his words and deeds.

"Lord Xiangzheng's love for the late life, the kid remembers it, don't dare to forget it, please take a seat." It is said that it is a seat, but in fact it is a small wooden pier, and the table is made of broken wooden boards.

The sand table where the child practiced calligraphy was hurriedly taken under the table by Shi Lizheng.

There is no tea in this period, and even if there is, it will have to wait for the new tea to come down in the next year, and the wine does exist in this period, but Ye Mo does not, because it is too expensive to drink.

There is only boiled water, and I still drink it in a black pottery bowl, and even this black pottery bowl was brought from Shi Lizheng's house last time and I didn't have time to send it back.

Ye Mo smiled embarrassedly: "The school is really simple, presumably adults can deign to the boy's school, presumably the purpose is to confirm the boy's name, and he will definitely not care about the vulgar hospitality of the boy." ”

After listening to Ye Mo's words, Cao Xiangzheng looked at Ye Mo playfully, he found that this half-grown boy had a composure that other boys of the same age did not have, not only did he say that he was neither humble nor arrogant, but he was extremely obedient, and there was even a suspicion of agitation in his words, but he did not lose his proportion, let's not say the same kid, even if he was an adult, he dared to talk to himself like this, and he would run away when he saw his own family.

Cao Xiangzheng was sitting on the wooden pier with a straight waist, stretched out his hand to hold the bowl of water in his hand, drank it with his neck tilted, put the empty black pottery bowl on the table, waved his hand, and an entourage behind him immediately took out a small jar of wine and poured it into the bowl.

Cao Xiangzheng drank the wine with sake lees with a tilt of his neck again, and the lees flowed down the corners of his mouth to his beard.

Putting down the wine bowl with one hand, wiping his beard with the other, he looked at Ye Mo and asked, "Can you drink?" ”

"I can drink it." Ye Mo replied very simply.

As he spoke, he drank another bowl of water, and the attendant, after pouring his wine, followed his example, and drank it with a, and wiped the lees from the corners of his mouth with one hand, but because there was no hindrance from his beard, some of the lees flowed to the linen on his chest.

Cao Xiangzheng's eyes lit up and asked, "Can you still drink?" ”

"I can drink it." Ye Mo still answered very simply, and the wine was also drunk.

After three bowls of wine, Cao Xiangzheng nodded approvingly and said, "Good boy, good amount of wine, like Lao Tzu back then." ”

Ye Mo clicked his lips, secretly complaining in his heart, the biggest difference between this wine and the old vinegar of Shanxi in later generations is that it has more color and strength, and there are sake lees, according to the alcohol content, it is not even as good as the beer of later generations.

With such wine, Ye Motou will not faint after drinking eighteen bowls.

Cao Xiangzheng said to Ye Mo: "There are some things that can't be rushed, it's useless to be in a hurry, just like this wine, if you drink it, it's yours, if you don't let you drink it, you can only watch me drink, most of the things in this world are like this." Unless you have enough power to make your own rules.

As for the appointment of talents, you are very open-minded, as for you to be idle for so long, it is not because of your age, but because your ability is too amazing, and you have to go up to the king, so you will not be able to give back. ”

He paused for a moment, saw that Ye Mo was listening carefully, and continued: "I came this time because of this old ......" He glanced at Shi Lizheng, and when he saw him grinning hehehe, he motioned to his entourage to pour him a bowl of wine.

Shi Lizheng's eyes widened suddenly, he hurriedly picked up the wine bowl with both hands, and even thanked him in his mouth, and followed Cao Xiangzheng's example, and drank it in one gulp, but this big gulp immediately made him cough violently.

Cao Xiangzheng glared at him with a smile and said, "You old thing, you don't have to help this kid so much, beware of choking you to death at once, this kid will blame Lao Tzu." ”

Ye Mo smiled: "The kid doesn't dare. ”

Cao Xiangzheng sighed and said: "I don't dare to say what the kid said, but what you have done, you are not small, it seems that people who have the ability are not small." ”

When he said this, he wanted to take a sip of wine, but his hand was stretched out halfway, and he retracted it again, and said, "Do you know how important it is to plough oxen and iron tools, how can you get them if you want to get them?" This iron weapon, don't talk about me, even the county Sima, or even the county lord, I'm afraid they can't dispatch it without authorization.

And the ploughing cattle are even more amazing, our Zhuji County will not exceed 100 heads, you still want to have dozens of heads at once, you talk about it, is your courage greater than the ploughing cattle? I came here this time to make you die, but I still gave you a thought, if you can come up with something more valuable than the iron you got, I will give you a little iron first. ”

Ye Mo's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is this true?" ”

Cao Xiangzheng sneered and said: "My old Cao is a rough person, I can't come to the twists and turns of your readers, or that sentence, Lao Tzu likes to go straight when he speaks, and if he speaks, it will be a pit when he lands." ”

Ye Mo stood up suddenly, stretched out his right arm, raised his palm, looked at Cao Xiangzheng, and said word for word: "Elder Cao is willing to swear by high-five with the kid?" ”

Cao Xiangzheng also stood up suddenly, stretched out his right hand, and laughed: "Good boy, you dare to bet with Lao Tzu and give high-fives, you are the first, just rely on your sentence Elder Cao, Lao Tzu bet with you." ”

As soon as the words fell, the two palms "snapped" with a crisp sound, and everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

Ye Mo sat down, stretched out his hand and took out a silver object from his arms, and said to Cao Xiang very mysteriously: "Elder Cao, how about taking a look at this thing?" ”

Cao Xiang is holding it in his hand, it looks like one end is half an inch wide, not straight, but arc, there is a round hole at the top, the other end is pointed, the length is half a finger longer than the palm, one side is full of words, the other side is drawn with thin lines of length and short arranged neatly, and there are crooked symbols, and I can't understand it.

It is certain that it is not bronze, nor is it like iron, because iron is not so hard, the position of the tip is not very sharp when you touch it, and the thumb and index finger of both hands are clenched at both ends respectively, and gently bent downward, and immediately bent into an arc with the force of the fingers.

Shi Li was in a hurry, but Ye Mo smiled and said nothing, Cao Xiangzheng frowned slightly, and bent downward, the arc of the bend was greater, but it was not broken, Cao Xiangzheng's brows stretched out all of a sudden, his fingers took off the force, and the arc disappeared immediately, straight like a straight line.

Cao Xiangzheng's eyes suddenly lit up, his fingers clamped the position of the arc, and he stabbed the tip to the table very casually, and with a soft sound of "poof", the object was almost completely submerged.

Cao Xiangzheng secretly inhaled and admired, his fingers were forced, and he immediately pulled it out, and looked carefully at the tip, it was still the original appearance, and there was no wear and tear at all.

"Good, good baby!" Cao Xiangzheng laughed, turned the baby over and over, watched it carefully, and carefully put it into his arms, looked at Ye Mo and asked, "For me?" ”

Ye Mo also smiled: "Filial piety to Elder Cao." ”

Cao Xiangzheng laughed again, stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and continued to ask, "Can you make it?" What is it? Where do you get it? ”

Ye Mo replied: "This is a steel plate feeler gauge, and there is a scale on it, which is used to check the size of the welding gap of the butt steel plate, whether it meets the welding standards......" Looking at Cao Xiangzheng's somewhat discolored face, he immediately said very simply: "It's a fine iron ruler, measure the length, experiment a few more times, and the kid can make fine iron." ”

Cao Xiangzheng was very satisfied with Ye Mo's answer, and said with a smile: "It's not refreshing to talk to you readers, it's clear that you say a lot of nonsense, is it that you can show you readers?" And we're all coarse? ”

Ye Mo hurriedly apologized: "The kid doesn't dare, Elder Cao misunderstood." ”

"Hmph, remember, it's still that sentence, Lao Tzu is a rough person, and he will go straight to Lao Tzu in the future, he should drink and drink, he should scold his mother, hear clearly?"
