Passing through the station

The results of the exam are naturally happy for some and sad for others.

Xu Er was eliminated, and he was not happy in his heart, but he was still happy that his brother was able to become a postman.

He patted Xu Liu on the shoulder: "Liu Zi, work hard, don't play tricks in the future." During the martial arts competition, they still thought that if they could draw a tie, they would each get a point; now that they calm down and think about it, it's just a pipe dream.

Ruan Bai had no intention of comforting the "lost students".Even in modern times, all five of them are already adults this time, and they should have the ability and responsibility to handle things independently long after they have been away for so many years.He recruited employees, not the young master.Could it be that when we meet the Huns in the future, let the enemy give them psychological counseling first?

So Ruan Bai paid off his internship salary and announced that he would start taking annual leave.

In fact, there is nothing in the post station now, and it doesn't matter if you don't rest or not.Besides, for the four "going to heaven" people, they are all excited now, and they are unwilling to let them rest.One by one rushing to work.

The winter in the Northwest is cold and dry, and the adobe houses are easily covered with dust. There are no glass windows, and the weather is cold. The doors and windows are only opened for a while during the day during the day, and the house is dark at other times. The place also needs a torch.

As the Chinese New Year approached, everyone bid farewell to the state of wanting to get together, opened the doors and windows straight, and cleaned all kinds of things.The house was repaired in a hurry, and now it is shrinking, and there are small cracks in some places. If the snow accumulates, the temperature in the house will be high. After the snow layer above melts, it is very likely that snow water will leak into the house through these lines.At that time, it will not be a texture, but will directly become a crack.

Ruan Bai thought about the Leyang station, and found that the fifth-class station was also made of adobe bricks. He grabbed Tian Kaifu with one hand and said, "What are you doing, don't make trouble." For a pampered and pampered rich son, it would be difficult for him to go out without even bringing a bookboy with him.

Tian Kaifu was dissatisfied: "What is making trouble?" At least he is not afraid of touching cold water, and the rag is still wrung out very dry!

Ruan Bai unfolded the rag in his hand and shook it, the dirt on it was clearly visible, and curled his lips: "Even a rag can't be wiped clean, don't wipe it more and more dirty."

Liniang happened to pass by, grabbed the rag and said with a smile, "Cleaning is our women's business. The two adults should go to the study to talk. The study has already been cleaned."

The two people who were disgusted and obstructed were driven into the study.Ruan Bai finally realized that this person was still his first teacher, so he quickly put on an appearance of respecting the teacher, and asked respectfully: "Students have some questions, please ask sir to clarify."

Mr. Tian glanced sideways, and snorted: "Okay, okay, if you have any questions, ask quickly, and there are no outsiders, so why not be serious."

"Oh. Then I'll ask." There was no heating in the room, and Ruan Bai began to circle around the room slowly, "Can I use bricks and tiles to build a station?" Without glass, the lighting problem is really difficult to solve. However, brick and wood structures are easier to open windows than adobe houses.There is no way in rainy weather, at least when the weather is good, the indoor lighting can still be guaranteed.

Tian Kaifu didn't even have to think about it: "It's possible, but where did you get the money? How much money can the higher-ups allocate for you? You don't necessarily have to post the money yourself, do you?"

"Well... it's okay if you can. Anyway, the sixth-class station is not very big in total, so it's okay to post a little by yourself. After the station is built, I have to move there. I have to live in a more comfortable place. Besides, the brick house It's easy to clean." There are so many businessmen around, and there is no need to worry about making money.

The bitter cold in the northwest does not mean barrenness. In fact, there is a lot of trade in fur and medicinal materials in the northwest every year.And this transaction volume is far from meeting the demand of the market.Relying on this kind of products, Chu Hao earned enough money to subsidize the daily needs of a hundred-man army with just a small businessman.These products are still raw materials, and only a very small part will have some rough processing.

In Ruan Bai's eyes, such a state is like throwing money all over the ground and no one picks it up!

Tian Kaifu nodded: "It's fine if you have an idea in your heart. If anyone dares to talk about it, you tell me, and I'll take the book directly."

The speaker is so awesome!Ruan Bai blinked, thinking about the issue of occupying the height of public opinion that he had considered before.He actually let the professional in front of him not take advantage of it, it was simply reckless.

"Brother Tian, ​​what do you usually do as speech officers?"

The young man's eyes full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge did not make Tian Kaifu let go of his guard, but silently guarded.In the past few months, they all told him that if he treated Ruan Bai as an ordinary 15-year-old boy, he would be sold immediately and counted the money for him.But he thought about it three times carefully, but he didn't find any traps in Ruan Bai's question, and there was nothing ulterior, so he told the truth: "Admonish the emperor above, inspect all officials below, set things right, and rectify the root cause."

"Oh." Anyway, it probably means stepping on an uneven road.Ruan Bai nodded: "Brother Tian, ​​have you ever thought about..."

As soon as he heard Ruan Bai's beginning, Tian Kaifu jumped away like a rabbit, so fast that even Ruan Bai didn't catch him: "I never thought about it, I never thought about anything!"

Ruan Bai stared dumbfounded at Tian Kaifu and ran away without a trace.

Chu Hao hung upside down from the window like a big bat, looked at Ruan Bai and laughed straight: "See how you scare people?"

Ruan Bai walked to the window, looked at Chu Hao maintaining an upside-down posture, and was a little worried: "Aren't you going to fall off like this?" Won't you take the eaves off?

Chu Hao thought that Ruan Bai was worried about him, so his heart immediately became sweeter, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't." He looked at the sky and said, "Don't stand by the window, it's cold here. I'll check the roof and come down .”

"Okay, then I'll prepare dinner." After returning from calamity, this Spring Festival must be enjoyed, even if he knows that no matter how delicious and rich the meal is, there will be people who will not eat it.

It is the same for people who leave their hometowns and leave their homes to miss their relatives every festive season, let alone those who are guarding their homeland but waiting for their relatives who are doomed to never see each other again and whose whereabouts are unknown.

At any rate, he is now an official, and he has the channels of Chu Hao and Tian Kaifu behind him. He has met Cao Da a few times, and occasionally he will talk about this military disaster in a few words, and the scale is larger than in previous years.Although the Huns used to enter the pass, they rarely killed people or set fire.

Although the common people want to leave this place, but there is no special reason, they can't move freely, let alone relocate?They can only continue to survive in this place from generation to generation.

But this year's situation is that there is no way to survive, let alone reproduce.

Ruan Bai sighed inwardly, and took Yun Gu and Aunt Ma to make spring roll wrappers one by one.The two girls were very curious and didn't know what spring rolls were.

Yun Gu even said: "It's fine to have dumplings for Chinese New Year. What we usually eat now is better than Chinese New Year, so don't bother."

Aunt Ma was still young, she was full of curiosity, but she also stammered to persuade: "More than 20 people...a lot of dumplings...a lot."

Of course Ruan Bai knew that with so many people, male or female, there was no one with a small appetite.There is no oil and water in the stomach, and there are so many things to do every day, no matter how much you eat, it is not enough to put on fat.After a few months, the only obvious difference from the grassland is not that the flesh has grown, but that the skin and complexion are much better. Although it is still thin, it does not look like it will collapse at any time.

Ruan Bai was bitter in his heart, but smiled on his face: "What's so much? It's time for everyone to do it together! Besides, it's a rare Chinese New Year, let's eat something fresh."

Yun Gu laughed: "Master, don't let them come together, let alone rolling out the skin and mixing stuffing, I think half of them can't even make dumplings."

"If you don't know how to learn, you can eat by yourself." When he first started living alone, he was miserable, and he didn't know anything, so he came here as usual.

As soon as Tian Kaifu stepped into the kitchen, he heard such a cruel decision, he couldn't help...with a blank expression on his face.

As soon as Ruan Bai saw Tian Kaifu enter the door, he winked and smiled: "Brother Tian, ​​are you scared?"

"What are you afraid of?" Although someone from Tian Tian had never cooked before, he was just a dumpling, and he thought to himself that he had the ability to know the world... It's a bit short, so he still can't make a dumpling? !

Ruan Bai wiped his hands clean, patted Tian Kaifu on the shoulder, encouraged and affirmed: "Young people have ambition, keep it up!"

Tian Kaifu was not polite, poking his head beside Ruan Bai: "I'm hungry, what are you doing?"

"Spring rolls." Ruan Bai replied, "Let's fry some spring rolls tonight."

Tian Kaifu had never seen any bad food from Ruan Bai's hands, and pointed to it: "Now fry a few and eat."

Ruan Bai looked at the time, and felt the same, anyway, these are just for tasting, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier.

"Okay, then wait for a while."

The filling is very simple, fried shredded pork with chives and thickened with starch.The smell of chives is very domineering. Those who don't like it think it smells bad, but those who like it think it is very fragrant.

Tian Kaifu didn't mind at all. He rubbed his belly and watched patiently as Ruan Baiyong wrapped the stuffing in a thin transparent leather and fried it in a frying pan.

Their lives are pretty good, but they usually feel extravagant when cooking, let alone deep-frying in such a large oil pan.

Seeing her heartbroken, Gu Yun frowned and twitched. She wanted to say a few words that young people don't know how to live, but thinking about the rare Chinese New Year, she let it go with a sigh.

The spring rolls have a thin skin, and the stuffing inside is already cooked, fried until golden and then sandwiched.Ruan Bai gave Tian Kaifu one: "Special preferential treatment, be careful not to burn it."

As usual, the people in the kitchen have the priority to eat, and everyone gets one.Because there was a reminder first, everyone ate carefully, the crispy skin broke open with a crack, and the hot filling inside flowed out, and the salty smell was enough to make people drool before they were eaten.Especially on such a cold day, eating such hot food feels extra warm.

In just a short while, the sky outside has completely darkened.The people who were busy elsewhere could only suspend work, pack up the things at hand, close the doors and windows, and smell the smell before entering the kitchen.

Chu Hao was furious: "You guys are stealing food again!" Don't take him with you yet!

The author has something to say: The copy of the Great Week of the Huns Warriors ([-])

Hun warrior: Hand over the money!

People of the Zhou Dynasty (ノへ￣,): Womeng is too poor and has no money.

Hun warrior: Hand over the food!

People of the Zhou Dynasty (ノへ￣,): All taxes have been paid.

Hun warrior: Believe it or not if you dare to trick me into hacking to death!

People of Zhou (ノへ￣,): Cut it off, I don’t want to live anymore.

Hun warrior: Damn it, it’s not easy to clear the dungeon, how poor are the mobs?
