Chapter 44: Where to Go in the Quest (Part 3)
"It's a long time! I'm waiting for the class to get an axe. Do you still have an empty account book? Give us a copy. ”
The four officials studied for a moment, and Li Zhixian begged for the account books with an embarrassed smile.
"Yes, they are all good paper bindings, and it takes a lot of time to draw this grid."
The lieutenant looked like this, turned around and took the empty account book.
Li Zhixian and others realized it again, there are high-ranking people in the village, and they still need to help them look at the accounts?
Can the accounts still be recorded like this? Learned, learned, go back and send it to the top.
The paper of the account book is indeed good paper, not easy to rot, and it was bought in Xuancheng.
There is an advantage to living here, pen, ink, paper, inkstone is cheap, and the quality is good.
Hui pen, Hui ink, inkstone, rice paper.
Locals buy, one less long-distance transportation fee and merchant profit fee.
If you talk about the local language, there are so many workshops that some people are willing to give a little extra.
This paper looks similar to the quality of Chengxintang paper, and the village is willing to spend money.
The four of Li Zhixian studied a new way of keeping accounts, and the chief sat in a box containing silver to read a book.
He was looking at the Compendium of Materia Medica, which Han Han occasionally wrote, and revised it.
As soon as I have time, I will write a little, go to Xuancheng and buy medical books that have been published before, and use them for the people in the village.
Zhou Zong continued to wander around the village, seeing that everyone suspected that he was a master, including the old man who was sitting there rubbing ropes.
After a turn, he came to an old man who was sitting in the shade of a tree and weaving sacks: "Uncle, are you busy?" ”
"You're not busy, you're the prince's man? Is the fish delicious? The old man's hands kept moving.
"Delicious! The first time I saw a whole fish feast. I used to feel fishy when I ate fish, why isn't it fishy in our village? ”
Zhou Zong squatted down to help smooth the twine, and he saw that the old man had a ruddy face and a calm demeanor.
"Fish is still eaten in the evening, and the boat is going out again, so when you leave tomorrow, I will bring it with you."
Fishy, fishy is evil, when making fish, the heart is fresh fish, Lao Tzu has a cloud: if you govern a big country, you will cook a small fresh.
Fish is the main ingredient, eating should be fishy, supplemented by seasonings.
Just like the way of a country's economy, national politics is the mainstay, supplemented by agriculture and industry, and one is indispensable.
The green hemp is easy to break, the hemp is square and tough, and the silk threads form strands and condense into a shield. ”
The old man said that he listened to his grandson, and he taught him well, some of which he forgot, and some of whom wrote it down.
Hanhan is really good at teaching children, it's like telling a story.
Zhou Zong: "......"
His eyes grew larger and brighter, his whole body trembled, and his legs went numb.
Found it, I found it, the hermit was making sacks, and he pointed me out.
"Child, what are you trembling about? Is the leg numb? After squatting for a long time, there is a wooden pier next to it, you sit down! ”
The old man looked at the other man and shook his head.
"Oooh!" Zhou Zong also found this problem, he sat down first, and slowly moved in the direction of the wooden pier with his hand support.
"Uncle, how long have you been in Xiaqiu Village?"
Finally moved to the place, Zhou Zong climbed up again, rubbing his legs.
"Sixty-two years!" The old man responded with a smile.
"Huh? So long? "Zhou Zongyi thought it was wrong! Since the master has a powerful way to help the village make money, why didn't he make a move before?
"No way, I was born in the village, you move here and help me make the line."
The old man was just used to having someone give him a line, and the person ran away.
Zhou Zong endured the numbness of his legs and rubbed the pier together, and asked while making twine: "Uncle, what do you think of our Daming?" ”
"Look with your eyes! What else can you see? When I was a child, I dreamed of eating meat every day, but I didn't expect to be old, and it really happened.
If it weren't for the ...... Belch...... If you have a life to live for so long, how dare you think about it, right?
Good days have to be cherished, just like ...... If you change one, this one will break one, and the sand will leak from here first. ”
The old man said and pointed to the twine next to him, this one doesn't work, find a new one.
Zhou Zong listened to the old man's words and reacted, this was wrong.
"You're not?" He was depressed.
"Where am I not?" The old man asked.
"No, you are." Zhou Zong explained.
"What is it?" The old man questioned again.
"I'm me, it's me, I'm in a hurry, I'm going to find a hut! Husband, you're busy. ”
Zhou Zong got up and limped away, his legs still numb.
The old man watched from behind and muttered, "Inquire about our Hanhan?" Hanhan has been with you for so long, you don't know, hey, hey, hey! ”
Zhou Zong didn't know what he had missed, and he thought as he walked, there is a master, this old man definitely learned to say it after listening to the words of the master.
Turning to it, this is not nonsense! Who doesn't know that there are hermit masters in the village? Which is the key?
He thought, he really arrived at the thatched house, there are four thatched houses in the village, each thatched house is divided into men and women, and they are all squatting in the pit type.
As soon as he came in, he saw his men, standing there and making a fuss.
"Boss, I saw a few similar ones, but none of them turned out, are the people in Xiaqiu Village so knowledgeable? An uncle actually gave me a lecture on the Analects. It's fun to have friends from afar. ”
His men greeted each other and talked about what they had seen.
He sniffed: "It's so hot, the smell of the thatched house is small, what's going on on the ground?" ”
The village toilets are made of concrete, including squatting positions that lie diagonally downward, and there is a large wooden bucket next to it that holds water.
A piece of bamboo extends out of the wall, with holes in it, and incense sticks are inserted.
There is also a box on the wall at the back of each squatting position, which contains raw edge paper.
"The villagers told me that when I was done, I washed it with water, and the pit was sprinkled with lime, so that I couldn't even see a maggot.
If the raw edge paper is used to wipe the buttocks, it is not used with bamboo chips, saying that it is not clean. ”
The people under him knew the situation and asked about it.
Zhou Zong untied his belt: "That's it?" Rich! I also met an old man who told me that Lao Tzu said that if you cook a small meal in a big country, where is the master hidden? ”
"Boss, do you think they will tie up the master and hide it in a secret cellar and force the master to make money?"
The subordinate thought of a possibility, and his expression became serious.
"You haven't finished peeing yet? Call me in and you're peeing. Do you think the master is a fool? And teach them knowledge? ”
Zhou Zong didn't believe it, it was not easy for the masters to fool these villagers? If he was caught, the news would have been spread through the hands of the villagers.
"The crucian carp soup was so delicious when I ate that I drank four bowls."
The men are finally over, shake it, tie their belts, etc.
Another look: "Boss, are you on fire?" Urine yellow, remember to drink more soup at night! ”
"Drink more soup at night? Am I wetting the bed? Zhou Zong glared.
At this time, a person came in at the door, heard the voice, and answered: "It's on fire!" There is herbal tea in the village, drink it casually.
I can't get used to the taste, there is rock sugar mung bean water, which also extinguishes fire and prevents heat stroke, and uses well water to town.
Otherwise, just look for ...... Look for the pharmacy in the village and see if there are any medicines that work. ”
"Thank you, big brother." Zhou Zong's subordinates thanked him.
Zhou Zong also ended, the two went out, and his subordinates took him to a small ditch outside: "Boss, do you see that big bucket?" Wash your hands and scoop out the water to wash. ”
"There are so many things to do in the last hut." Zhou Zong was helpless, picked up the scoop of kiln water, and lowered his voice: "That person seemed to want to say who to find just now, but he changed his words again." ”
"Hmmm! I heard it too. The men nodded.
"Let's go! Let's go drink herbal tea first, rock sugar mung bean water, rock candy is really made by someone! ”
After Zhou Zong washed his hands, he felt that the fire was even bigger.
The whole village seemed to be hiding something, and no one said anything.
