As the saying goes, wealth is moving.

When Zhang Qian, Tangyi's father and his party arrived in the depths of the canyon, and under the guidance of Yang Chuan, they dug out one piece after another of Khotanese jade seeds, everyone's faces were rippling with happy smiles and full of energy.

Whether it was Zhang Qian, the high-ranking envoy of the Han Dynasty, or Tangyi's father, the Huns, as well as the eighteen Hu merchants and thirteen female slaves who rested, they all began to rotate continuously, and they only slept for more than two hours a day.

Even so, everyone is full of energy and tireless.

The only idle person seems to be Yang Chuan alone.

By the way, there is also Sister Leopard's family.

Yang Chuan's daily work is to kill cattle and slaughter sheep, roast mutton, stew beef, and occasionally change the taste, and stew a large number of fresh fish and wild vegetable soup for everyone.

As for the slate roasted beef tenderloin, braised beef, coriander beef tendon, wild onion fried tripe, stewed beef brisket, stewed steak, black pepper beef cubes, stir-fried beef tendon...... Of course, I won't do these good dishes.

Those lamb's signature dishes are too.

Before Zhang Qian, Tangyi's father and others came back, he cooked in different ways every day, on the one hand, to please Sister Leopard, and on the other hand, to practice, so that he could adapt as soon as possible, and without chili, red oil, tomatoes and other ingredients, he could also cook all kinds of high-quality dishes.

Now that Zhang Qian, Tangyi's father and others are back, his thinking has to be adjusted.

Yang Chuan thought very clearly, he was just a little cook, and the only ability he could rely on at the moment was cooking......

You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.

In this world, he is alone, naked, lonely, helpless, just like the duckweed in the water, how can he not leave a few life-saving backs?

Of course, even so, his roasted whole sheep, hand-handled meat, clear soup fat beef, fresh fish and wild vegetable soup and other delicacies have already made Zhang Qian and others addicted and amazed......

A month passed quickly.

On this day, Yang Chuan was stewing beef, and Zhang Qian told him that he would leave for Chang'an in a dozen days, and asked him to cook more beef, dry it on a stone slab and grind it into small particles to make everyone's marching food.

"You're going back so soon?" Yang Chuan was a little resistant, after all, every extra day he stayed, he could dig nearly 100 more pieces of Hetian jade seeds.

Zhang Qian also had some regrets, and said with a wry smile: "It's already a lot more than expected, we have mined too many jade seeds, how to bring them back to Chang'an is a big problem, let's take it when we see it." ”

Yang Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, starting tomorrow, I will prepare marching food for us." ”

He didn't ask how many seeds he had dug up in the past month, let alone how much he could give himself, and he was guilty of it, wasn't he talking about an eleven or twelve-year-old half-grown boy who carried a lot of mutton fat jade on his back, and then was killed?

"Yang Chuan, when you return to Chang'an, a certain family will thank you again."

Zhang Qian was also upright, and he was not allowed to be empty-headed, but he just patted Yang Chuan's thin shoulder and sighed: "You kid has beautiful eyebrows, handsome appearance, belongs to boys and girls, either it is expensive, or ...... Early wisdom and early death.

You, do it yourself. ”

Yang Chuan smiled and didn't speak.

He didn't know how the rest of the Han people were, just an upright character like Zhang Qian, it is estimated that he will be able to mix with the deputy department in the future life, and he can't speak.

At the same time, he also captured a 'detail': when Zhang Qian addressed him, the word 'you' appeared less frequently, and the word 'you' accounted for the majority.

Yang Chuan didn't know how the subtle changes were different, but it should be a good thing, let's just think that the relationship between the two was closer.

"By the way, my cousin's father wants to give you a small gift," Zhang Qian walked out a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "If you can subdue another king, a certain family will also respect you for three points." ”

Yang Chuan opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a breath or two before asking, "What gift?" ”

Zhang Qian waved his hand and said with a smile: "You will know when the time comes......"

……

For the next three or four days, everyone was busy.

Yang Chuan was busy making beef jerky, Zhang Qian and others were busy digging Khotanese jade, and several Hu merchants went out to gather hundreds of horses, nearly 1,000 cows, and more than 3,000 sheep, ready to set off at any time.

Yang Chuan has always had a question in his heart, that is, who is grazing those cattle, sheep and horses during these days?

Of course, he won't ask this kind of stupid question, anyway, he's just a child, and when he returns to Chang'an, even if people don't give him the spoils, it doesn't seem to be anything?

What worries him the most is that in the final analysis, it is Sister Leopard's family.

Under the careful feeding of his breeder, this lady has become lazy and fat, picking and choosing when eating meat, and never going out to hunt, where is there still a little bit of the king of the snow mountain!

Especially Sister Leopard, it seems that she will lose sleep if she doesn't hold Yang Chuan at night, it's just ......

"In a few days, I'm going back to Chang'an City, what are you going to do?"

"Sister Leopard, you have to teach Da Mao and Xiao Mao to hunt, otherwise, those two little fools will starve to death."

"There is no Snow Mountain in Chang'an City, and you can't live ......"

For a few days in a row, Yang Chuan accompanied Sister Leopard's family to talk whenever he had time, and he couldn't wait to say all the words in his stomach, which made Sister Leopard very anxious.

It seemed to sense some crisis, so it began to follow Yang Chuan's ass, not leaving an inch; Its temper also became violent, and it bared its teeth at Zhang Qian, Tangyi's father and others at every turn.

Especially the thirteen female slaves who rested in peace, they became a thorn in the side of Sister Leopard, who dared to say a word to Yang Chuan, it would pounce directly, knock it to the ground with one claw, and almost bite its neck.

Every dusk, Sister Leopard would lie beside Yang Chuan, looking at the sunset with a sad expression, just like a poet who committed suicide in the spring.

This made Yang Chuan very sad.

He even had the idea of 'not going back to Chang'an at all'.

At this moment, Tangyi's father came, and he told Yang Chuan the good news: "Actually, there are also snow leopards in the Qinling area, and because the air is humid and there is enough food, the snow leopards over there are also larger. ”

"Really?!"

Yang Chuan suddenly came to his senses and asked anxiously, "Are there tigers, leopards and brown bears over there?" What should I do if Sister Leopard is bullied by other beasts? ”

Tangyi's father replied very seriously: "There are tigers, leopards, brown bears, wild boars, and there are many of them, and your Han emperor likes to hunt, and his Shanglin Garden is full of wild beasts, and even elephants and rhinoceros."

However, as long as you don't go down the mountain, the king of the snowy mountains is the master. ”

Yang Chuan thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, as long as it is in the mountains and forests, there seems to be no beast that can catch up with the snow leopard.

In addition, there are actually snow-capped mountains in the Qinling Mountains, which is really not good, so you can consider buying an industry at the foot of Huashan or Taibai Mountain, and you can enter Chang'an City as an official, and you can go up the mountain to live in seclusion, and care about his spring, summer, winter and autumn.

It's really not good, you can rebel.

However, as soon as this thought was born, he pinched it to death.

If it is Emperor Liu Yan of the Han Ping Dynasty and Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Xian, in fact, you can really consider it; The problem is, the current emperor is called Liu Che......

As the so-called concern is chaos, with Yang Chuan's forbearance and steady heart, he can handle many things calmly and without changing his face, but when it comes to Sister Leopard's family, he is suddenly in chaos.

Well, this is one of his weaknesses, and it will be necessary to pay attention to it in the future.

"By the way, what is Uncle looking for me?"

The thorny problem was properly solved, Yang Chuan returned to his former politeness, and asked with a smile: "I heard that you are going to give me a small gift, it won't be mutton fat jade, right?" ”

Tangyi's father said angrily: "It's not jade, it's carving." ”
