Gao Kuirong pretended not to understand, haha smiled and invited Xie Tianshang, he didn't want to bring Xie Baoqing into the house, there were many guns on the fence, and he was not afraid that Xie Baoqing would be tired.

Xie Tian smiled and walked side by side with Gao Kuirong to the fence, stood on the top of the high wall and looked around, and said with a smile: "No wonder it is said that Brother Kuirong loves to stay on the fence, this is really a good scenery." Brother Kuirong, the fertile fields you can see here should be yours, right? ”

Gao Kuirong smiled and arched his hand: "Let Brother Baoqing smile, let's sit in the gatehouse, it's warm inside." ”

Walking into the gatehouse, Xie Tian smiled and said, "Brother Kuirong will really enjoy it." ”

Gao Kuirong made a gesture of invitation to Xie Tian to sit on the couch, and saw that the two cronies Zhuang Ke also followed up with guns and stood at the door, and ordered the girl with a sigh of relief: "Tell the second grandmother to fry two hard dishes and send them over." ”

Xie Tian smiled and raised the roast chicken and wine bottle in his hand: "What are you stir-frying, don't I bring all of them." ”

As he spoke, Xie Tian unceremoniously sat down at one end of the couch, stretched out his hand to pull aside the teapot and melon seeds on the table, put the wine bottle and roast chicken on the table, and sat cross-legged directly, grabbing the telescope and looking around, without thinking of himself as an outsider at all.

Gao Kuirong sat opposite Xie Tian with a smile, waved his hand at the girl, and said with a smile: "How can I just eat you, I should add two hard dishes." ”

The girl secretly glanced at her mouth and opened the door and left.

Add two hard dishes, the hard dishes in your mouth are just scrambled eggs and meat slices stewed with tofu, the last time the second young master accompanied the captain of the imperial army to the house as a guest, you specially ordered to kill a chicken, and it was cut into small pieces, and only half of it was served to the table.

Xie Tian put the telescope aside casually as if he was home, poured out the residual tea in the teacup, bit the cap of the wine bottle and poured wine for himself and Gao Kuirong, Gao Kuirong looked at Xie Tian with a smile and asked, "Brother Baoqing should say it this time, what are you looking for me?" ”

Xie Tian smiled and picked up the wine glass and touched it with the wine glass in front of Gao Kuirong: "It must be a good thing, let's talk while eating." ”

As he spoke, Xie Tianzi took a sip of half a teacup, reached out and pressed the roast chicken on the table, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Gao Kuirong.

Gao Kuirong reluctantly took it, but he also secretly swallowed his saliva.

I haven't eaten Xiangmanlou's Bazhen roast chicken for a long time, and the last time I ate it seemed that the eldest son bought it from Xiangmanlou to honor him when he came back, and I bought ten at a time, this loser's thing.

Gao Kuirong took a bite of the roast chicken first, chewed it and swallowed it slowly, and then took a sip of the wine glass with Xie Tian, for fear that drinking the wine first would dilute the fragrance of the roast chicken.

Xie Tian watched Gao Kuirong take a shallow sip of wine, and said unhappily: "Brother Kuirong looks down on me, I will accompany you, do it first." ”

As he spoke, Xie Tian picked up his wine glass and touched it with Gao Kuirong again, and drank the remaining half of the wine.

The corners of Gao Kuirong's distressed mouth twitched, although he didn't buy this wine, but drinking like this is really bad food, and the wine must be tasted slowly to maximize the happiness brought by drinking.

Gao Kuirong smiled bitterly and looked at Xie Tian at the bottom of the cup at him, and said, "Brother Baoqing, my brother really can't drink urgent wine, so you drink yours, and my brother accompanies you." ”

Xie Tian smiled: "Brother Kuirong can't drink in a hurry, and brothers can't be reluctant, you drink slowly, and our brothers chatter while eating." ”

As he spoke, he filled himself with another glass, threw the empty wine bottle aside, bit the other bottle open and put it on the table, reached out and tore off the other chicken leg and took a bite, and bit off half of the chicken leg in one bite.

Seeing this, Gao Kuirong also hurriedly took a big bite of the chicken leg, and let it out, he will be a loser today, he can't let Xie Baoqing eat all the roast chicken, even if he brought it, it won't work.

Looking at Gao Kuirong's eating, Xie Tian took another sip of the wine glass, and said: "Brother Kuirong, now the land is not very peaceful, there are devils and eight roads and the Jin Sui Army on the edge of our big lonely town, as well as the security regiment, the guerrillas, and there are several mountains where Laqizi works alone, there are wars everywhere, people are dying every day, and it is not easy for the people to live a peaceful life." Brother Kuirong should have had a deep understanding over the years, right? ”

Gao Kuirong didn't know what Xie Tian wanted to say, so he laughed dryly: "Who said it wasn't, in the autumn of troubled times, let's mix it up." ”

Xie Tian picked up the wine bottle and added some wine to Gao Kuirong, and said with the wine bottle: "Before the devil came, no matter how we fought and made trouble, it was our own business, but those officials had different ideas to divide the size, to put it simply, it was just a wall of brothers, and it would not harm the people too much, and the people had a hard life but how could they live." But the devils are different, they are not of the same clan as us, and they don't treat us as human beings at all. Let's not talk about the Nanjing Massacre, which killed more than 300,000 people, let's just say that the devils in front of us attacked Zhao Jiayu, hundreds of villagers, men, women, and children were killed by them, and it is conceivable that if they are allowed to occupy China, we Chinese may not even live as pigs and dogs in the future. ”

Gao Kuirong slapped the table, and said with twitching muscles on his face: "My father-in-law's pole is Zhao Jiayu's, and the family of seven has not even found a bone. ”

I don't know if Gao Kuirong is so sad and angry because the Japanese devils killed hundreds of villagers in Zhao Jiayu, or because he felt sorry for the eight oceans he spent, or both.

Xie Tian looked at Gao Kuirong and said, "Brother Kuirong, I have figured it out, if we don't beat the little devil away, we will definitely not have a good life in the future." ”

Gao Kuirong looked at Xie Tian and said vigilantly, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Xie Tian looked at Gao Kuirong and smiled: "The war is naturally done by us rough people, Brother Kuirong, I plan to pull up a team to fight with devils under the banner." I'm here with you today for nothing other than to raise some food from you. ”

As he spoke, Xie Tianqian took out two gold bars from his arms and put them on the table, and said, "I don't want you for nothing, these two bars should be made up with you first, and then I will make up for you when my brother has enough money, what's the matter?" ”

Originally, Gao Kuirong's face was already dark when he heard Xie Tian say that he was raising grain, but when he saw the two little yellow croakers, his eyes lit up again, and he finally moved his gaze from the small yellow croaker to Xie Tian's face, and said with a dry smile: "Brother Baoqing, I really want to accept your little yellow croaker, but I really don't have food in my hands now, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, two trucks from the Zhangzhuang stronghold came to dozens of Japanese soldiers to ask for food, and pulled away two trucks of wheat, so he threw me a handful of broken military tickets, that thing is money today, and it may be paper tomorrow, I'm worried, my cheeks have been swollen for the past two days. I really don't have any food, Brother Baoqing, or you can think of another way. ”

Xie Tian looked at the corner of Gao Kuirong's mouth with a sneer: "Brother Kuirong, if the devil asks you for food, you will have it, and if your brother asks you for food, you will push back and block, you are an enemy, do you know?" ”

Gao Kuirong snorted and sneered: "Don't buckle my hat, who knows which of you will win, and in the end it is too early to say who is an enemy and who is a friend." ”

Xie Tian picked up the little yellow croaker on the table, looked at Gao Kuirong and said, "It seems that Brother Kuirong doesn't like my two sticks." ”

Gao Kuirong smiled: "Brother Baoqing, if you have nothing else to do, please go back, I will invite you to drink next time I have a chance." ”

Xie Tian laughed and put away the two little yellow croakers, and smiled at Gao Kuirong: "Little yellow croaker, Brother Kuirong is not rare, I still have a kind of treasure here, I think Brother Kuirong must like it." ”

As he spoke, Xie Tian picked up the teacup and took a sip of wine, and reached out to grab the roast chicken on the table.

Gao Kuirong was a little curious about the other thing Xie Tian said, but on the surface he pretended to be indifferent.

In addition to gold bars, there is nothing more expensive than grain, people have to eat food, last year a drought in Henan is said to starve millions of people, the price of grain has increased several times compared with previous years, a bucket of millet can be exchanged for a yellow flower girl, two small yellow croakers can buy grain on the market, but they can't buy much, so just now Gao Kuirong didn't even ask how much food Xie Tian was going to raise from himself.

There is no worry about selling the grain in his hand, the food saved in Gao Kuirong's hand is going to hold it for a while, last night's snow was good, and now the price of frozen grain will definitely rise, he is thinking about taking advantage of the disaster this winter to exchange food for dozens of hectares, so he naturally can't look down on the two little yellow croakers that Xie Tian took out.

Gao Kuirong squinted at Xie Tian, expecting Xie Baoqing to quickly take out the treasure that he must like, and wishing that Xie Baoqing would leave quickly, anyway, he had already said it, if Xie Baoqing was not interested, then it was no wonder that he went out to pick people up.

As a result, in the next second, Gao Kuirong jumped up from the kang with a strange scream, and hurriedly waved his hand at Xie Tian: "Brother Baoqing, Brother Baoqing, don't be impulsive, put that thing away, we have something to discuss." ”

Xie Tian smiled and pulled off the sweet potato grenade ring taken out of the belly of the roast chicken, and smiled at Gao Kuirong: "It seems that Brother Kuirong knows this baby, this is a Japanese product, a good thing, it is said to be quite powerful." Brother Kuirong, don't retreat to the door, you take a step back, my baby will be given to my brother. ”

Gao Kuirong was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped and waved his hand in a panic: "Don't throw it, don't throw it, I'll just stand here and don't move." ”

The two Zhuang guests at the door were already stupid when they saw Xie Tian pulling a grenade from the belly of the roast chicken, and the two of them raised their guns to Xie Tian, but their legs and stomachs turned back vigorously, and they couldn't wait to turn around and run away.

Zhuang Ke's care of Gao Kuirong's home is just a monthly salary, and the two money Gao Kuirong gave him can't afford to sell his life.

Xie Tian smiled and motioned Gao Kuirong to sit back in place with a grenade, Gao Kuirong approached tremblingly, half of his ass sat on the edge of the kang, and he was about to cry: "Brother Baoqing, you put that thing away first, we have something to discuss." ”

Xie Tian looked at Gao Kuirong and said with a smile: "Can you borrow grain?" ”

Gao Kuirong nodded again and again: "I can borrow, I can borrow." ”

Xie Tian smiled: "Then borrow a hundred stones first, and I will give you an IOU." ”

Gao Kuirong trembled, and waved his hand at Xie Tian with a pale face: "Don't be kidding, Master Xie, even if I clean the bottom of the warehouse, I can't make up a hundred stones of grain, if you really force me to ask for a hundred stones of grain, then you might as well blow up that grenade, and we will end up together." ”

In this era, grain is measured by capacity, and the capacity units are he, liter, bucket, and hu, one hu is equal to five buckets, one bucket is equal to ten liters, and one liter is equal to ten he. Stone is a unit of weight, because two pieces of grain are equivalent to about one stone, so the unit of grain is also measured in stone. And because one stone of grain happens to be the weight that an adult man can carry, people are used to calling one stone a load.

A load of grain is about 100~120 catties, thank God This is also a lion's big mouth, and he will borrow 10,000 catties of grain from Gao Kuirong with one mouth, isn't this going to kill Gao Kuirong, he would rather be killed by Xie Tian than take out this hundred stones of grain.

But to be honest, 10,000 catties of food is really not much for a team, and if Xie Tian has 100 people, 10,000 catties of food can't last a few months, not to mention that Xie Tian has to open a porridge shed to relieve refugees, and 10,000 catties of food is not enough for a month's expenses.

"And how much can you borrow?" Xie Tian stared at Gao Kuirong and asked.

Gao Kuirong gritted his teeth and pondered for a long time, stretched out five fingers at Xie Tian: "Five Dan." ”

Xie Tian looked up to the sky and laughed: "Five loads, Brother Kuirong, if I borrow five loads of food, do I still need to come to you?" Forget it, you should keep these five loads of food for the funeral banquet. ”

"Brother Baoqing, I really don't have so much food in my warehouse." Gao Kuirong beat his chest and said, he is afraid of death and distressed about food, now it depends on how far he can bargain with Xie Tian.

However, it can't be more than ten quintals at most, otherwise I'd rather not live.
