I am old in the Han Dynasty

Xiaoqi wanted to nod subconsciously.Noticing Xie Lang's expressionless face, he muttered softly, "I didn't tell anyone in the first place."

Xie Lang turned his head to look for something.

Wei Qing jumped over and grabbed his arm, "Xiaoqi, your third master didn't say anything, but you don't know that when the tiger roars, the cattle, sheep, and pigs in your village will not dare to eat?"

"The tiger didn't scare the lamb." Xiao Qi said stubbornly.

Wei Qing sighed, "I asked you if sheep are afraid of tigers and coyotes? You just answer yes or no."

The child nodded, "...scared."

"I'm afraid you still—"

Wei Qing exerted force on his hand, Xie Lang gasped in pain, turned his head to stare at Wei Qing, what are you doing?

"Your third master is right?" Wei Qing asked.

The child touched his butt, "I, I forgot."

"That means you're right." Wei Qing asked again, "Have you ever thought that a lamb might be scared out of its soul?"

Xiaoqi suddenly turned to the lamb, seeing that the sheep was alive and well, he breathed a sigh of relief, "The soul is not lost."

"Does Xiao Ma know what it means to scare away the soul?" Wei Qing turned to ask Xie Dalang's son.

Xiao Ma glanced at Xiao Qi, and saw that he didn't seem to understand, "It's just scared. It will eat grass if you want to call the soul back. Xiao Qi, scaring the soul doesn't mean scaring it to death."

"Huh? Is the lamb stupid?" The child was dumbfounded.

Wei Qing: "I don't know if I'm stupid or not. You take Brother Hou, Huzi and Little Wolf home first. Your third master and I will take the sheep back. If you can still eat grass, you are not stupid. Otherwise, your third master will not beat you." You, I have to beat you too."

"You, why are you the same as Grandpa Meng Da?" The child muttered with a bitter face.

Xie Lang snorted coldly, "Say what?"

"I said go back now." Xiaoqi said loudly, "Brother Monkey, Huzi, Little Wolf, come with me." He ran south.

Xie Lang turned to Xie Xiaoma, "Are you still leaving?"

"Let's go, Xiao Zhuang is going to fetch the sheep." Xie Xiaoma said hastily.

Xie Lang frowned slightly, "You usually let Xiao Zhuang herd the sheep?"

"No, no. Xiao Zhuang, wait here, I'm going to fetch the sheep." Xie Xiaoma hurriedly ran towards the sheep.

Xie Lang glared at him, picked up the rope on the ground, and the four lambs remained motionless.Xie Lang couldn't help but sighed, and turned to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing sighed helplessly, "You hold two, I hold two."

"That's the only way." Xie Lang said, looking south, "I shouldn't be soft-hearted just now."

Wei Qing: "This time it was beaten hard, next time you make a mistake, how can you deal with him. Let's go." Lifting the two sheep, he frowned, "Xie Xiaoma, what's wrong?"

Xie Lang turned his head to look, Xie Xiaoma was sitting on the ground, holding the iron rod in his hand, he couldn't help sneering, "It's too deep to get out." Go over and help him get it out, and slap his ass, " Do you still dare to pretend to be smart in the future?"

Xie Xiaoma shook his head with a blushing face, "Don't dare again. Third Uncle, don't tell my father."

"I'll write it down for you first." Xie Lang pointed at him, "Then let me find out that you're playing tricks, and I'll tell your grandma."

Xie Xiaoma hurriedly said, "No next time, Third Uncle."

"Let's talk about it sometime." Xie Lang glanced at him, then went back with Yang and Wei Qing in his arms.

When Xiao Qi saw it, she couldn't help asking, "Why are you hugging it?"

"I was paralyzed by your monkey brother." Wei Qing put the sheep in the sheepfold, "Sanlang, do you feed me bean straw or something else?"

Xie Lang thought about it, "I'm going to cut some sweet potato leaves." When I found the scissors in the main room, and saw that the table was covered with pens, ink, paper and inkstones, he laughed angrily, "I know how to write when I make a mistake. Xie Xiaoqi, you are really getting better and better." clever."

"I'm stupid. The third master is the smartest." The child said quickly.

Xie Lang glared at him and walked out.

Wei Qing went to the kitchen to scoop up some water to wash his hands, and when he came out, he saw a child kneeling on the stool and writing, "Xiaoqi, sit down!"

"It's so comfortable." The child said without raising his head.

Wei Qing was overjoyed, and even learned to talk back.

Xie Xiaoqi is really amazing now.

"Your third master is here." Wei Qing said leisurely.

The child hurriedly sat down, straightened his back, and turned his head cautiously. Wei Qing was the only one in the yard, "Grandpa Zhongqing! You, you have turned bad!"

"Not as bad as you. The four lambs were scared out of their wits by you." Wei Qing said.

The child's anger disappeared, and he turned around and wrote honestly.

Wei Qing walked across to him and sat down, "How many words have you learned?"

"Learn a lot." Xiao Qi said, "My third master said that by the end of the year, I will be able to read books by myself."

Wei Qing suddenly remembered something about Master, "Master's Shuxiu came from your third master?"

"Yes." Xie Lang threw the sweet potato leaves into the sheep pen, saw water on the washstand, and washed his hands, "I plan to tell the villagers about this after the busy farming season. Even if they don't want to pay, let the master come to teach at home Xiaoqi."

The child raised his head, "Teach me one?"

"Yes! My wife and I are staring at you."

The child's eyes were full of horror, "No!"

"Then you can tell Xiao Ma and Xiao Niu to ask them to pay. My elder brother and second brother don't want to, so I ask Xiao Ma and Xiao Niu to make trouble with them." Xie Lang laughed, "For example, if you don't eat, cook If the pottery urn of rice is smashed, they can do whatever they want."

Xiao Qi couldn't help asking, "Will you be beaten?"

"You can continue to go to school if you get a beating. Do you choose to go to school if you get a beating, or play around without getting a beating?" Xie Lang said without waiting for him to speak, "Don't rush to answer, wait until I finish. Going to school will make money in the future." A lot of money. If you don’t go to school, you can only farm in the village.”

Xiao Qi quickly swallowed back "play around without being beaten", "How much do you earn?"

"Being a petty official like Dongfang Shuo has consistent money for a month. You can take a break every five days. If His Majesty goes out to play and doesn't let him follow, he can rest for several days in a row." Xie Lang said, "If you are not an official , you can write and settle accounts, open a restaurant in the city, and earn a regular amount of money in a month."

Xiao Qi swallowed, "A lot."

"You can earn so much in school, so can pony and calf." Xie Lang asked again, "Do you want them to be like you, or do you want them to be like my elder brother and second brother? Get up and make tofu?"

Xiao Qi hopes that his friend will go to the city to make a lot of money like him, "I will tell you tomorrow."

"Let's talk about it after the busy farming season. Write me honestly now."

Xiao Qi pouted.

Xie Lang stared, and the child quickly let go of his mouth.

Wei Qing shook his head and laughed, "Go to the kitchen. I have to go back early in the afternoon."

Xie Lang said "hmm", and took out the pork he bought before asking, "When are you leaving?"

"The day after tomorrow." Wei Qing said.

Xie Lang was shocked, "So fast?"

"Not fast. According to His Majesty, we should have set off last month. But this time there are a lot of soldiers and horses, and we need a lot of food and grass. Now it's the time when we can't get so much grass. We can't get so much grass for a while, so we dragged it until this time." Wei Qing road.

Xie Lang asked softly, "What kind of grass do you use to feed the horses?"

"weed."

Isn't that alfalfa?

Xie Lang remembered that there was an advertisement that specifically mentioned this kind of grass, saying that the animals grew stronger after eating it, "I thought it was fresh grass."

"The horse needs hay." Wei Qing said, looking at him, "You don't know?"

Xie Lang nodded, "You're not him, you won't want me to cast spells to save the common people in a whimsical way, I don't have to lie to you. By the way, what kind of stuffing do you like to eat?"

"Not minced meat?" Wei Qing pointed at the meat that he had cut open.

Xie Lang pouted at the cabinet, "There are green onions, shiitake mushrooms and cabbage in it, you can choose one. It's not tasty if it's all meat."

"I can choose, can I choose three?" Wei Qing asked tentatively.

Xie Lang's hand trembled, and he almost cut it off, "Yes! For the sake of you leaving tomorrow." After a pause, "I thought it was a practice meal last time. Fortunately, I made so many for you."

"Brother Saburo is causing trouble." Wei Qing smiled and took out the vegetables, washed them clean, and went to boil hot water to soak the mushrooms.

Xie Lang took out three large bowls, divided the minced meat into three, mixed it with the chopped vegetables, added some salt and sauce, cracked two eggs into it, and put it in the cabinet for later use.

To reconcile the noodles, Xie Lang wanted Wei Qing to roll out the dough and he would wrap it.Thinking of his skill of making dumplings, he decided to teach Wei Qing first.

Wei Qing's dexterity did not disappoint Xie Lang.Xie Lang saw that his first time making dumplings was better than his own, so he immediately asked Wei Qing to make dumplings, and he rolled the dough.

"Won't this boil in a pot?" Wei Qing wondered.

Xie Lang: "No!" After a pause, "Three people can't eat that much, cook a little, and steam the rest on the tray. If you think it's delicious, you can take it home and heat it up at night to eat."

Wei Qing said yes, but he still felt that it would rot in his heart.

Three bowls of dumpling stuffing, a drawer and a chopping board.Xie Lang kept twenty of each kind, and when the ones in the pot were steamed, he threw the dumplings into the water.

Thin skin, filled with fillings, rolled in boiling water for a while, Wei Qing waited for the dumplings to rot, but before they rotted, Xie Lang fished out the dumplings.

"Is it ripe?"

"It's done. Didn't you notice that when the dumplings floated up, I added cold water twice?" Xie Lang said, "I was worried that they were not cooked yet, and they would rot if they continued to cook, so I added water and boiled again."

Wei Qing understood, "Why did it get so hot last time?"

"It's not as good as yours." Xie Lang smiled wryly.

Wei Qing thought about this, but he didn't expect it to be the reason, "I'm leaving, wouldn't you and Xiaoqi not be able to eat?"

"Let him learn how to bag." Xie Lang said without thinking.

Wei Qing: "He's only seven years old. He's still a little boy."

Xie Lang handed him the bowl, "I will not only teach him how to make dumplings, but also teach him how to make buns, make cakes from dough, and various dishes that I know. After two years, I will teach him blacksmithing and carpentry. Finally You are proficient in everything. Let’s stay in the hall.”

Wei Qing was stunned, because he changed the topic too quickly and wanted to say something, seeing Xie Lang going out with a bowl, Wei Qing hurriedly followed with the bowl in one hand and the steamed dumplings in the other.

"Xiaoqi, go wash your hands with your grandfather Zhongqing." Xie Lang put away his pen, ink, paper and inkstone when he went to the main room.

The child cheered and ran outside.

Wei Qing swallowed the words that came to his lips, and asked after washing his hands, "Why?"

"What kind of person is Your Majesty?" Xie Lang asked without answering, "If I go, how many years can Xiao Qi last by his side?"

Wei Qing: "Loyal to Your Majesty, we have arrived safely."

Xie Langxin said it was impossible.Unless Xiaoqi returns to the village as a farmer before the catastrophe arrives.

"It's you, not him." Xie Lang glanced at the child, "Don't talk about him, I can't guarantee it."

Thinking of Xie Lang's temper, Wei Qing couldn't help sighing.

"Grandpa Zhongqing, what's the matter? Because the stirrer is not tasty?" Xiao Qi pointed to the dumplings in the bowl, "The stirrer is about to be stirred and eaten. You have to stir it up."

Wei Qing couldn't help but reached out and touched his little head, "Your third master didn't make it last time. Dumplings are just like this. It's better than last time." Get him a steamed dumpling, "Try this first. I don't like it. Just give it to Monkey Brother.”

The child reached out to take it, took a bite, and looked at Xie Lang in disbelief, "It's delicious." After swallowing it, he couldn't help asking, "How did the third master cook it last time?"

"Because your third master doesn't know how. This time your grandfather Zhongqing made it." Xie Lang said, "Is it delicious?"

The child nodded vigorously.

Wei Qing suppressed a smile, waiting for Xie Lang to make a move.

"It's a pity that your grandfather Zhongqing has to go home after dinner, and he can't help the third master to make it." Xie Lang said, "Can you learn how to wrap? You are handy, I think you can learn it."

Xiao Qi: "But I don't know how to meet face to face."

"I'll roll the dough with the dough and mince the meat stuffing. You just need to wrap it." Xie Lang said.

Xiao Qi nodded, "You can have this."

"Eat it." Wei Qing picked another one for him, and if he wants to eat it in the future, don't imagine it will be as comfortable as it is today.

The child didn't know, so he grinned when he took it, "I can eat another one."

"Eat the steamed dumplings after eating the ones in the bowl." Xie Lang reminded him.

The child nodded his head and stuffed one into his mouth. He couldn't help but frown. It wasn't as good as steamed dumplings.

"Third Master, what do you eat, brother monkey?" the child asked after eating the steamed dumplings in his hand.

Xie Lang: "There is still meat under the vine, stew meat for them."

"It will take a long time. Brother Hou will be hungry." Before Xie Lang could speak, he ran out with the bowl in his arms.

Xie Lang was puzzled, "Why are you going?"

"He doesn't want to eat the boiled ones, so give them to Brother Monkey." After Wei Qing finished speaking, Xie Lang saw the child pour all the dumplings from the bowl to Brother Monkey.

Xie Lang sighed, "He might as well be the same as before."

"It's possible if no one plays in the city. It's impossible in the village." Seeing him coming back, Wei Qing swallowed the rest of his words, "Xiaoqi, there are three kinds of dumplings in your bowl. If you eat one and think it doesn't taste good, pour it back to the dumpling." Brother Monkey, the other two may taste better than steamed ones."

Xiao Qi was stunned, and when he realized it, he looked at Brother Hou.

The golden monkey stuffed it into its mouth one by one, as if eating delicacies from mountains and seas.The child's face changed drastically, "Brother Monkey!"

"Stop barking, it's almost finished." Xie Lang said leisurely.

Xiao Qi hurriedly turned to Xie Lang, and called out pitifully: "Third Master..."

"The pot is gone. Twenty for me, thirty for your grandpa Zhongqing, and ten for you." Xie Lang pointed to the bowls and basins on the table, "They are all here. Eat this." Get him a scallion flavored one Steamed dumplings. "

Xiao Qi took it and took a bite, raised her head to meet Xie Lang's watching eyes, the child's eyes rolled, "It's not as delicious as cabbage."

"Then you can eat cabbage." Xie Lang pointed out to him, "The ones here are all stuffed with cabbage."

The child nodded, "Okay!"

After eating the dumplings in my hands, I picked up the steamed dumplings, but my eyes were fixed on the ones stuffed with pork and green onions.

Seeing this scene, Wei Qing almost burst out laughing, "Xiao Qi, you have crushed the dumplings."

The child quickly picked it up, stared at Xie Lang while eating, and kept praying in his heart, when Grandpa Meng Da and Grandpa Zhongqing came, there were people looking for the third master, why didn't they disappear today.

Why did the group of people looking for trouble suddenly become honest?

Xie Xiaoqi was so disappointed.

"Sanlang, are you at home?"

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he shouted anxiously, "Master, someone is looking for you."

"The door is unlocked, come in and say." Xie Lang said loudly.

With a squeak, the door opened, seeing that it was Xie Jianye, Xiao Qi hurriedly said, "Third Lord, don't let him know that we eat dumplings. Go, go!" Get up and push Xie Lang.
