Chapter 59: Drunken Peach Blossoms
It turns out that the peach blossom that Xiao Ai said is here.
The three of them couldn't ride a horse, so Guo Ming summoned the ghost fire.
Helping the two sisters and brothers into the car, Guo Ming continued to drive back.
A younger brother in front and an older sister in the back, Guo Ming sat in the middle by himself.
The kid in front was quite nervous, and he didn't dare to move while sitting on the galloping ghost fire.
Hua Que in the back generously hugged Guo Ming's waist.
"Strongman, where are we going?" Hua Que asked.
Guo Ming replied casually: "Let's go to Mr. Zhongjing's house, my people and Mr. Hua Tuo are waiting there." ”
"Hmm!" Hua Que let out a nasal voice and lowered his head slightly, as if he had some thoughts.
Guo Ming just glanced sideways at her and smiled.
It seems that Hua Que has thoughts about himself.
Guo Ming went through this business as soon as possible in his mind.
Hua Que and Hua Yin, the two sisters and brothers, are Hua Tuo's sons and daughters, Zhang Zhongjing's apprentices, and they must be good at medical skills.
As long as the two of them open a medical clinic in Xudu, this is a big deal.
Guanzhong, the land of Luoyang, because of the years of war and famine, there are many deaths.
Once there are dead people, there will be a lot of diseases.
This kind of deal, just think about it, you know that it is a good deal.
Guo Ming still has a thread in his mind, and that is Zhong Xuan.
In the long run, it is impossible for Xiahoudun to guard Chang'an forever, and it is Zhong Xuan who has really been in Chang'an for a long time.
This time, I was able to use Guo Jia's letter to greet the Yingchuan villagers, and I had a favor, so it was naturally a good deal.
After Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing thanked them, the four of them packed up their things and followed Guo Ming.
It's not too late for Ha Qinghai Yan to come back.
Along the way, Guo Ming was very attentive to these two old gentlemen.
Not to mention, these two people are both famous miracle doctors and have a place in history.
Let's just say that one of the two of them is Hua Que's master, and the other is Hua Que's biological father, and they belong to the quasi-old father-in-law.
These two people also have to have a good stutter.
As for Hua Que.
Some things are tacit.
The two inevitably met head to head along the way, and they didn't talk much about each other, but they did have a lot of eye contact.
Guo Ming could read from Hua Que's eyes that she was interesting to herself.
This kind of affectionate look made Guo Ming very useful.
Guo Jia counted the time for him along the way, how long it would take him to reach Xudu, and how long he would have to transport the grain and grass back.
Guo Ming cleaned up a yard separately for these two old gentlemen to live in, and Hua Que and Hua Yin, the two sisters and brothers, naturally had to move over.
It's just that Hua Que looked a little unhappy, and began to avoid Guo Ming.
Guo Ming naturally knew what she was thinking, but it was just inconvenient to say it.
He's got business to do.
On the evening of arriving in Xudu, Guo Ming hurriedly took Guo Jia's letter to Zhong Xuan's mansion.
Zhong Xuan himself is also the Zhong family of Yingchuan, and he has always had dealings with the Guo family in Yingchuan.
After reading Guo Jia's letter, Zhong Xuan can be regarded as knowing the ins and outs of things.
"Okay, since I am entrusted by my filial brother, I will naturally not shirk it as a brother. All you have to do is tell you how much grass you want. ”
"Your grain and grass are being sold, so I want as much as I want! At the market price, I'll give you another 20%. ”
This is exactly what Guo Ming wants to do.
Since it's a daughter to buy a righteous reputation, then simply pay more!
Anyway, it is to sell face, and it will be easy to greet Zhong Xuan and Xiahoudun in the future.
Zhong Xuan's food is not much or less, it is exactly one thousand taels, which is the number that the system reminded before.
Guo Ming specially added two hundred taels and sent them to Chang'an with Zhong Xuan.
After ordering so much grain, he tied it to a rubber cart and hired the mules and horses of Luoyang...... First went to Zao Yuan.
Because there may be excellent rice varieties in it, just leave it directly for the jujube.
Who knows, there are other troubles here.
The jujube was in the middle of the military tun, just between Chen Liu and Xu Du.
There is a big problem with the beauty of the place and the beauty of the water...... Bugger.
Guo Ming led the grain and grass convoy and hurried to this side, and before he arrived at Zaoyuan's camp, he saw such a large piece of things jumping into the car.
This thing has a green beard, but anyone will be stunned when they see it.
"Locusts!" Guo Ming was stunned.
"It's not good, there's a plague of locusts." Bai Qi said in surprise.
He and Xiang Yu came over with Guo Ming and were responsible for escorting grain and grass.
Guo Ming opened the way in front, Bai Qi was in the middle, and Xiang Yu was in charge of the back of the palace.
At this time, after the catastrophe of the Great War, there were people everywhere except Xudu, and it was inevitable that there would be robbery of grain trucks.
They didn't dare to rob the trucks that the government escorted to transport grain and grass, and Guo Ming, a private grain truck, naturally wouldn't let go.
But Guo Ming never imagined that he had not yet encountered the people who robbed the grain, and he first encountered the insects who robbed the grain.
Zaoyuan Juntun, there has been a locust plague here.
"Get the bugs out of the way." Guo Ming ordered directly.
In fact, this matter is not difficult, those who escort the grain and grass can drive away the locusts with just a pat of their hands.
But the locusts everywhere make people feel hairy.
Seeing that the cyan patch in the ground was jumping, Guo Ming could only feel lucky.
The blue locusts are called green locusts, and they are still high-quality protein at this time, and they can be fed to chickens and ducks after they are caught.
They also don't fly at this time, and their attack power is extremely low.
But if you wait until these locusts turn yellow, it's all over.
At this time, the locusts are called earth locusts, which are not high-quality proteins at all, and there is also cyanide in the body, which is a highly toxic substance.
Whether it is a human or a chicken, duck or goose, they are poisoned immediately after eating.
Once it reaches this stage, the locusts will also fly, and there is no way to control it.
Zao Yuan's idle fat paddy fields between Chen Liu and Xu Du to stock up on grain will indeed attract a large number of insect plagues.
This batch of locusts should have come from the south, which is the land of Yuan Shu.
There's a big drought going on in that place, and there are locusts, that's the old saying.
Guo Ming took the grain and grass to Zao Yuan, and after explaining his intention, he made Zao Yuan grateful.
"Thank you so much, there is a shortage of rice seeds here."
"I have good grain here, and all the food you see is left as rice seeds."
"But you have to leave me more than eighty percent, Ming Gong, then you are still waiting to eat."
"Don't worry, I know it."
Zao Yuan hurriedly asked people to unpack and sieve seeds, and he himself was drinking tea with Guo Ming in the camp tent.
Compared with those generals, Zao Yuan is much simpler, a bit like a farmer.
His pants had been rolled up to his knees, his feet were simply bare, and his legs were covered in mud.
Tanned, the sleeves were rolled up to the elbows.
