And when they had been walking for five days, they came across an earthen city, and its name was Liganlou. Xianbei looked at it, smiled, and thought: What is this name? It doesn't seem to be the name of the Han people, at least it is also a city that exists between the Han and Yi, otherwise, it can't be called such a name.

The city gate is like the northern calendar city, no one guards it, the city gate is open, and people come and go freely.

Entering the city, it was even different from other Zhao cities, and Tukia even saw the people of their Yue Clan! Of course, there are only a dozen people, most of them are from Zhao, there are also people from Wei, Xiandong and Xiannan, they identify as Qin, and there are people walking on the street with waist knives and pheasant feathers on their hats.

There are also some people who follow them secretly, as if they are watching them.

Xianbei didn't care so much, he said to Gao Feng and Xiandong, "Divide people and see if the other two streets sell farm tools.

Seeds, hats, coats, vehicles, where there are cars, preferably the kind of cars with carports, buy them. ”

Because Xianbei thought that there was no rain along the way, and if it did, men and women would not be able to hide from the rain. Farm tools, seeds, not to mention, are intended to be useful for a long time.

Xianbei divided the silver taels that Gao Feng got from the grain store into three parts, kept one for himself, and gave the other two to them, and told them to think about the application of life in the future, and buy everything they can, after this city, I am afraid that it will be close to the grassland, we must prepare everything that can be prepared, and there may be no place for such a city.

A group of people separated into three gangs, themselves, Feng Ji, and Xie Lan, and the three of them, with their baggage, women, and children, and walked straight from the south gate to the north gate.

Walking through the center of the city, a short distance to the north, you will see a knife shop with a blazing fire and the sound of tinkling and thumping.

Xianbei stopped the team, turned over and barge, and walked into the knife shop with Feng Ji. When the people in the house saw someone walking in, they stopped beating and came over and asked, "Guest, do you want to hit the knife?" ”

This person walked out of the reflection of the fire pit, and Xianbei saw clearly that it was a sturdy man, about thirty years old, and there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in the room, they were all ripe red complexion, and their faces were covered with sweat.

Xianbei said, "Can you only make knives?" ”

The man said, "All kinds of iron tools can be used, mainly knives." ”

Xianbei said, "Can you make a pot?" ”

"Pot?" The man didn't understand, "What is a pot?" ”

Xianbei thought that now that iron tools have not been used in daily life, the word "pot" may not have been created, so he said, "The function of the urn is a vessel that can be used to stir-fry vegetables on the fire." ”

Most of the men don't understand Xianbei's words, and he doesn't know what words like "function", "stir-fry", and "utensils" mean.

However, the man had a way, he stepped on the ground and felt a firewood stick, handed it to Xianbei, and said to him, "I will see if you draw it." ”

Xianbei thought, it seems that there are a lot of such people, let him fight some things he has not seen, and he will use this method to communicate, which is a smart way.

Xianbei took the firewood stick, squatted on the ground, drew a pot on the ground, and drew two more pot ears on the edge of the pot.

The man understood and said, "What are you doing with this?" ”

Xianbei was very dissatisfied with his question, so he said, "Do you have to ask the use of whatever the guest comes to make?" ”

The man felt Xianbei's dissatisfaction, so he said, "Say whatever you want, just say it." How many hits? ”

Xianbei groaned and said, "Two bites are enough." ”

"Is it as big as you painted on the ground?"

Xianbei thought about it, but it was almost the same, that is, a wok, stir-frying, how much can be fried? If you fry too much, it won't taste good. So he said, "It's that big." ”

The man said, "Okay, what else are you going to fight?" ”

Xianbei Hula suddenly thought of stirrups, and said, "Can you play stirrups?" ”

"Stirrups? What is a stirrup? "The man didn't know anymore.

Xianbei then thought that this was the secret of their Tianzihao, how could he tell it to people? He looked at the man with an ignorant face, and only then did he calm down his heart, Xianbei thought, even if he told him, he didn't know what the "stirrup" was, and if he didn't learn where to use it, how to use it, even if it was a secret.

So, Xianbei squatted down again and drew the shape of a stirrup on the ground. Since Xianbei does not know how to draw a three-dimensional map, only a plane drawing, the stirrup unearthed in the early Warring States period is only an iron ring mouth on the foot, and there is no foot pedal plane of later generations.

After the man saw it, he wanted to ask what it was for, but the words came to his lips and choked back, he said, "This is easy, just hit this one?" ”

"One?" Xianbei thought for a while and said, "Hit forty." ”

Xianbei thought, now ten people ride the barge, and they have to have twenty stirrups, is it always these ten people? No, why do you have to add another ten, that is, twenty more stirrups.

The man gasped and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Xianbei thought for a while and said, "If you can, you can fight a few waist knives, but the previous two things are the main ones." How long does it take to make it? ”

The man did the math and said, "It will take three days to pick up the lamp and rush to work." ”

Xianbei said, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? ”

"Early the day after tomorrow," said the man, "don't you want to fight a few more waist knives?" ”

Xianbei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it'll be early the day after tomorrow." How much silver does it cost to make these objects? ”

"You pay in silver?"

"Can't you?"

"Okay, why not, if it's silver," the man said, holding his chin and calculating, "why do you want two taels of silver." ”

How much silver Xianbei had in his hand, he didn't count it in his heart, but he thought that his own was not enough, and the two groups of them couldn't have a little left? Making iron pots and stirrups is the most important.

Xianbei took out a piece of silver slag from his arms and gave it to the man, saying, "This, the right should be used as a deposit, how about the full amount of money the day after tomorrow?" ”

The man took the silver slag, arched his hand and said, "It's set." ”

Xianbei turned around to go out, but Wu Qima walked in in a panic, curtsied to Xianbeixing, and said, "Your lord, the queen asked me to get the silver." ”

"Take the silver?" Xianbei thought to himself, what did Tukia want silver for? I wanted to ask, but I didn't open my mouth: Wu Qima shouted a king, and if he asked like that, he wouldn't even be as good as a man at home. So he took out the silver bag from his bosom and threw it at Wu Chima, saying, "Take it!" ”

Wu Qima took the silver bag, saluted, turned and ran away.

Xianbei walked out of the knife shop and saw the women in his team talking and laughing, turning into an alley.

Xianbei thought to himself, where are they going? In this way, there is some swagger, which attracts the surrounding businesses and people walking on the street to stop and watch. These women of the Yueshi country are Caucasians, and they are all beautiful, which is inevitably eye-catching, and some men swallow and salivate when they look at them.

Xianbei said in his heart, this is not good, where do they not cause trouble?
