Passing through the station

Mr. Cao who came here was of course not the leader of Shunyang Pass, but Cao Da, the postman of Leyang Station.

Cao Da brought two small boxes full of dead copper coins.

After all, Ruan Bai was also a person who had been given ten thousand gold coins, so of course he knew how valuable these copper coins were.No matter how strong the purchasing power of copper coins is now, it is still not as good as his original box of red bills.What's more, this big week has lagged behind to a certain extent, and even if you have a ticket, you may not be able to buy something.

If it was something else, or another person, Cao Da didn't have to make the trip himself.After all, he is also a postman of the fifth-class station, and he has a lot of people under his command.But the lesson from the last time was not far behind, this time he still escorted the transport honestly and personally, fearing that the people under his command would do something dishonest.

"Master Ruan, this is an official document, please check it."

Ruan Bai already had an official note in his hand, which was brought by Tian Kaifu.In fact, he felt that the construction of the post station only paid money, which was very, very unreliable.Of course, when the post station is really built, there will be various supporting guards of honor and chariots and horses sent over.

"No problem." Ruan Bai checked it carefully, "I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Cao, let's go after lunch."

Cao Da was stunned for a moment, and refused: "No, I'd better leave early, I'm afraid it will snow later." He couldn't understand the reason why Ruan Bai was so polite this time, but the lesson from last time Tell him that this boy who looks like bean sprouts is not a good thing, he is very cunning.

This is definitely an excuse.Ruan Bai himself is good at judging the weather, and he is surrounded by farmers who watch the sky and eat. Even if he is not an expert, it is still very easy to judge whether it will snow in the afternoon.

But Ruan Bai didn't force him to stay, he just said: "Master Cao, drink a bowl of hot soup before leaving, I still have some things I want to ask."

Cao Da twitched the corner of his mouth suddenly.At this time, he was called a subordinate official. Why didn't he say he was a subordinate last time?But Ruan Bai's age is only so small, he is not easy to argue with a child, not to mention that the child has a backer behind him.He said that General Cao was standing behind him, but General Cao is a man who manages a lot of things every day, and it is polite enough to give him such a fellow clan an official position as a postman, and he would not bother him with trivial matters.

"Don't dare to ask for advice. I don't know if Mr. Ruan is unclear about something?"

Ruan Bai really has a problem.Tian Kaifu knew what the inn should look like, but when it came to the specific construction of the inn, Cao Da was the only one he could ask right now.

When Cao Da heard Ruan Bai's question, he thought it was a trivial matter, so he explained it carefully.His current inn did not start from scratch like Ruan Bai, but there are also many repairs every year.He is very clear about the use of materials and artificial flowers in all aspects.

Originally, he thought that it was something that he was familiar with, but he didn't expect that Ruan Bai had so many problems.It can be summed up as follows:-

Ruan Bai: "Isn't that okay?"

Cao Da: "This... there is no express rule saying no, it's just that no one has done it before."

Ruan Bai: "Oh, that's fine."

After some conversation, Ruan Bai expressed that he was very happy.Cao Da said that he was very tired. The big bowl of broth and five thick pancakes he prepared for lunch did not make him feel tired.

Seeing that Cao Da was about to leave, Hu Shang quickly finished talking to Ruan Bai about the matter at hand, and hurried to follow Cao Da.

The cattle merchants have already been prepared.He is not familiar with this road, and he may encounter something.Right now, it seems that the possibility of encountering the Huns is not high, but the possibility of encountering wild beasts is not small.It is very cold now, and it is difficult for wild animals to find food. Over the years, it is not uncommon for wild animals to enter the village to steal food, and even attack humans and animals.

There were so many people, Cao Da and the cattle merchant didn't mind waiting for Hu Laoliu for a while.

A large group of people were sent away in the barren post, but it didn't clear up all of a sudden.Unlike the New Year's goods that the cattle merchant said, they were actually bought by Ruan Bai with real gold and silver, but Hu Laoliu really gave away a lot of real New Year's goods.A lot of things have to be dealt with as quickly as possible.

These things don't need to be directed by Ruan Bai one by one, Liniang can arrange them very well.

It has to be said that the arrival of people like Xu Er has relieved a lot of pressure on Huangyi.

These people are not comparable to those ordinary farmers.After moving here, almost everything has to be prepared from head to toe.Ordinary farmers have to work for a while before the Chinese New Year, and they are all so busy that they hit the back of their heads.

After a hasty meal at noon, the girls all sat at the entrance of the main hall with needles and threads, flying needles and threads under the sun.The fabric looks quite a lot, but it is still a bit tight to make clothes for everyone for two seasons.

Aunt Ma and San Niang are knitting sweaters.San Niang is still a little rusty, but Madam Ma can already beat with her eyes closed, and the girl is very quick at it.On the contrary, looking at the most capable Liniang, she was a little confused about these needlework.

Sanniang couldn't see it, and snatched the needle and thread from Liniang's hand: "You, let's do the accounting."

A young woman in her 20s came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands and took the needle and thread: "Liniang is better at men's work than women's. Leave these women's work to us."

Liniang blushed when she was told, and was at a loss for a moment: "Even Aunt Yun said that about me. I...you don't let me here, so I can only clean the house."

When she was at home, her family was not bad, and she was an only child, her ten fingers were not in the sun, and the only housework that could be called housework was helping her mother manage the household accounts.Shunyang has open folk customs, and she can often go hunting with her father.It's just that she is a girl after all, and her ability to ride a horse is not bad, but she doesn't have the strength to hunt, and she can't even open her bow.

Now she sees that all the other girls can do a good job, but she can't do anything, and she always feels that she is very useless.

The woman called Aunt Yun is the oldest here, and her eldest son is seven or eight years old.But when the Huns came, she protected the two children, and was taken away by the Huns, and she didn't know what happened to the two children now.After returning to Dazhou, she wanted to find her relatives, but now there were not a single village in the disaster-stricken villages and towns. Even if some survived, she didn't know where they were now.It's not that she's not in a hurry, but if she stays here, Ruan Bai and Chu Hao can help them find someone. If she goes out, as a woman, she probably won't even be able to take care of herself, let alone find someone.

"Li Niang, don't be busy, sit and bask in the sun when you have time, and rest for a while. Seeing that you haven't stopped all morning, the two merchants brought a lot of things in the morning, and you are alone busy sorting out and making accounts. Now He also said that he was useless, didn't he make us poor?"

Liniang blushed even more when she heard this, and said falteringly: "The abacus made by the master is easy to use, and it doesn't take long to make the accounts. A Qiang and others will help you move things. I don't have to make any effort..."

Now this abacus is not only made by Liniang, but even Chu Hao and Tian Kaifu can play fast.Especially Chu Hao, who can move his fingers like flying with just a glance at his hands, which made Ruan Bai deeply doubt his own IQ.He only thought about the trouble of not having a computer, but after he figured it out, he found that he couldn't do it at all.

Tian Kaifu calculated a few times, and smiled at Ruan Bai, as if looking at a golden rooster, waiting to lay golden eggs.As for the matter between Ruan Bai and Chu Hao, it was not as difficult as he expected to figure it out.He has been with Chu Hao for more than ten years, if Chu Hao is interested in him, it will have already been done, where is Ruan Bai's turn?

But since he couldn't accomplish anything, he had no choice but no ability to offend Chu Hao, so he still maintained the friendship of the past few years honestly.Their Tian family still has to rely on the Chu family.What's more, the little guy Ruan Bai is really hard to hate.

The abacus Ruan Bai just came out two days ago, and it is an internal circulation item.However, Tian Kaifu and Chu Hao have already seen the potential, and have spread the abacus through their own channels.

That day, Chu Hao came back a bit late, his face was so dark that it looked like something, he went home and found Ruan Ergou directly, hugged him and put him on the Kang in the room, and stroked the dog's head to calm down: "A group of idiots, such a simple thing as an abacus , the finger looks like it’s broken, I can’t even teach it for a long time!”

One of the idiots, the stupid Ergou sneered: "Hehe." He slapped Chu Hao's hand away and climbed down the kang, determined to get the calculator out sooner or later.Abacus or something is not his style.

The next day, Chu Hao took a rest and took up the responsibility of killing sheep early in the morning.As an assistant, Zhou Dahu had a slight objection: "I was born as a butcher in a villain's family, so the dirty work of killing sheep should be handed over to the villain instead of Master Chu..."

However, Zhou Dahu's slight voice did not reach Chu Hao's ears at all. He went straight to the barn, picked up a sheep selected by Tang Xinhou, hung it on the stand that had been erected two or three times, and disemboweled him two or three times. Zhou Dahu, the butcher, was even more agile.

Zhou Dahu was speechless.

Zhang Daniu, who was born as a hunter, felt that he was good at slaughtering prey, and silently took a basin of water to deal with it.

For twenty or so people, one sheep is not enough to eat.The second sheep was soon snapped too.

Not long after, the smell of mutton began to waft throughout the barren post.

White-cut mutton, mutton stewed radish, braised mutton, mutton dumplings, mutton scorpion soup... Ruan Bai directly took charge of the spoon.The fourth child was still a little more reserved, with his big head resting on Ruan Bai's back.The third child stood up, leaned on the stove, and groaned anxiously together with the big fat and the little fat.

Ruan Bai pushed the third child down, he was too big to get in the way: "Go ahead, I'll eat it for you later."

The third child refused to accept it. After being pushed down, he quickly stood up again and was pushed down again...

Ruan Bai had no choice but to pick a pot of bones from the pot, put it in the third child's bowl, and take it aside.

Xu Liu looked from the side and clicked his mouth twice: "It's so good for animals?" There's a lot of meat on the bones!

Ruan Bai glanced at Xu Liu: "The lives of us were all saved by the third child." On the grassland back then, if he hadn't met the third child, they would have died, and there might not be many of them left. .

Xu Liu was taken aback, and remembered why he was here, and hurriedly said, "Master Chu asked the villain to ask if there are any longan and red dates."

"It seems to be there." Ruan Bai thought for a while, and there seemed to be some of these things in the New Year's goods brought by Hu Laoliu. I don't know about longan, but there must be red dates. "Go ask Liniang, she knows where it is. Chu Hao What do you want these things for?"

Xu Liu was bored by the question, nana: "The villain dare not ask." Chu Hao is a thousand households, not to mention that he is not a postman, even if he is a postposter, his identity is very different from that of Qianhu How dare he ask Chu Hao?

"Oh. Go find Liniang, she should be messing around right now." Ruan Bai didn't think much about Chu Hao's identity.If Chu Hao was his superior, then of course he would obey orders.But he and Chu Hao don't have any affiliation, it's just brotherhood.Huangyi is still his domain, only Chu Hao listens to him, there is no reason for him to be afraid of Chu Hao.

Ruan Bai soon saw what Chu Hao was busy talking about, a big pot of mutton...sweet.

A pot of mutton with longan, red dates and sugar made Ruan Bai's eyebrows twitch.

"Brother will make sheep ointment for you, it will be mended." Chu Hao was very happy.Sugar is quite expensive, but it is not impossible to buy it in Shunyangguan.Tonight, on the eve of the winter solstice, I have to eat something good.Forget it, his family's second dog is still growing, and he has lost a lot of money, so he needs to make up, make up for it.

This kind of food is no stranger to Nguyen Bai.He had seen silky chicken cooked like this before, but he obviously didn't understand this recipe very well.Sweets should be regarded as a very luxurious enjoyment nowadays.Besides, in terms of making up, these people really need to make up for it.

The other people in the deserted post obviously have never eaten such a luxurious goat paste.Tian Kaifu has eaten it, but he is a typical gentleman far away from the kitchen, and he doesn't know how to cook it at all.And when he saw Chu Hao and Ruan Bai together, he didn't want to go into the kitchen.Intellectually, he convinced himself, but emotionally, he still had a bit of a hard time.Alas, he used to think that Chu Hao only liked girls, so he would look down on him.

Sheep cream is limited, so one person gets a small bowl at night.

Ruan Bai took a sip and said, "It's okay." Then he pushed the bowl aside to eat something else.Why can meat be sweet?Still incomprehensible.

These two words obviously do not meet the standard answer.Chu Hao straightened his face immediately: "It's okay?"

Ruan Bai compared the force values ​​of the two in his heart, and changed his words: "Not bad?" Under Chu Hao's stare, he silently took another sip.He's saving face so much, don't force him!

Chu Hao snatched the bowl, poured it directly into his mouth, and hummed: "If you don't like it, don't eat it. I'll give you something good to eat, and I'll take it as medicine."

When Ruan Bai saw that the alarm was lifted, he didn't care what Chu Hao was moaning about.If you don't eat weird things, you don't eat them. Anyway, someone solves them, so he doesn't count as a waste of food.

After returning to Dazhou, it was the first festival, and everyone ate their bellies to the sky.Ruan Bai felt a little regretful that there was no soy sauce, otherwise the stewed mutton would not be too good.Soy sauce is made from soybeans, and now there are soybeans, he has to think about how to turn soybeans into soy sauce...

But when he woke up the next morning, Ruan Bai didn't have this kind of leisure - his crotch was a little wet, there was a bad smell in the air, and there was someone rubbing beside him... rub it, rub it!Ruan Bai kicked Chu Hao to the ground.

He fell directly from the kang to the ground, waking up from any dream.Chu Hao was lying on the ground, and he got up after a while. Looking at the still dark sky, he grabbed Ruan Bai to wash his underwear, and comforted him: "Second brother, don't be afraid, this is because you have grown up, not peeing your pants. .”

Soul light!Chu Dagou is the one who peed his pants!He has grown up for years!

That morning, many people got up to wash their underwear, and they all overdid it.When they first came back from the grassland, they were all weak, but after such a long time, their bodies have already been nourished.

The men hung their panties in shame in their rooms.

Yun Gu, who got up early to cook, glanced at the woman who had given birth to two children and laughed at the men who hadn't had time to hide the evidence.Men feel ashamed.

Ruan Bai didn't escape and was patted on the head.

"Our master has grown up and is not shy. Auntie is going to dry the yard for you."

Ruan Bai didn't have time to stop him, then Chu Hao put his clean underpants to dry beside Ruan Bai's side, looked at Ruan Bai's underpants beside him, touched them accidentally, and then walked away as quickly as if he had been scalded.The dream in the morning was not far away, but the memory was already a little fuzzy, but the young man's flushed face and the suppressed "Brother Hao" were still lingering in his mind.

Ruan Bai was holding the breakfast bowl, squatting in the yard guarding his underpants, ready to take them back into his room when they stopped dripping.

Chu Hao walked over, squatted beside him, and demanded with a serious face, "Call me Brother Hao."
