I am old in the Han Dynasty

"Third Master, it smells so good." Xiao Qi, who was staring at the fire, said suddenly.

Xie Lang who was concentrating on feeding the little milk tiger without any distraction was taken aback, "What fragrance?"

"This." The child pointed to the big clay pot in front of him.

Xie Lang smiled: "You are the smartest."

The child really doesn't understand, what is the relationship between fragrance and intelligence?He tilted his head and looked at Xie Lang.

"Lard residue is the best delicacy in the world."

Xie Lang's family was not very rich when he was a child, he didn't have money to buy snacks, and he didn't dare to ask for money to buy snacks.At that time, he liked Chinese New Year most.Because during the Chinese New Year, the family will buy a lot of fat pork to boil oil, and the lard residue is also the time of the year when it is the most.

Only then did his parents not restrict him from eating lard residue.Lard residue became Xie Lang's favorite snack when he was a child, not one of them.

Xiao Qi couldn't help swallowing.

Xie Lang smiled and fished out some to taste, "We have to wait a little longer."

"What's so delicious?"

Xie Lang let out a sigh from the left and in front.

Xie Guang's mother and Xie Jianye's wife Yao Guizhi said at the same time, "Someone must be cooking lard."

"Our side..." Xie Jianye looked around, there was an open space in front of him, the road was on the right, and his son was on the left, all of them turned off the lights and went to sleep, "That kid Sanlang?"

Yao Guizhi sniffed, "The scent came from him. Isn't the child sleepy? He's still cooking oil at this time."

"Young and in good health, not sleepy," Xie Jianye said.

Actually it is not.

Xie Jianye didn't use Xie Lang's iron to make the Luoyang shovel. He could use his own iron tomorrow morning. In fact, it was the iron in his Jiangshan map to drive the nails on the plowshare and rake.

By the time the water came out in the afternoon, the villagers had done almost enough digging, and by the time he got down to the well, his plowshare should have been ready.

Xie Lang just imagined and wanted to praise himself, and arranged the time very reasonably.However, the next afternoon, when he went underground, he couldn't help shivering, "It's so cold."

"Then come up first." Li Zheng said hastily.

Xie Lang: "Pull it up."

Everyone pulled the rope with all their strength, and the more they pulled it, the more they felt that something was wrong. When they pulled it up, they saw a big bucket of mud and water.

Li Zheng almost fainted, "I told you to come up!"

"It's all down, dig this well and go up again." The water in the well is certainly cold, and it's far better than Xie Lang's training in the ice and snow in his previous life.

Xie Lang dug four more buckets of muddy water and dug out several springs. The water was almost up to his waist before he was pulled up by the crowd.

He said earlier that it was cold, and some people above felt coquettish. When they saw that his body was completely wet, they quickly advised him, "Go home and change your clothes."

"There's another bite over there." Xie Lang said.

Li Zheng: "There are so many of us, we don't need you."

"Then I'll be leaving." Xie Lang looked at Lizheng, "I won't come when I leave."

Lizheng waved his hand, "Let's go. I'll be ashamed to see your parents after a hundred years."

Got it!

Having said all this, Xie Lang was not polite to him.Put a bucket of hot spring water in the wooden bucket in his house for bathing at home, and after washing it, go to the east of the village to find Xiao Qi who is a filial piety for Xie Yuan.

On the way, Lizheng's youngest son, Xie Guang's father and several villagers came back from outside. Seeing them pushing three carts, Xie Lang guessed that they were going to sell bears and pigs in the city.

Xie Lang planned to raise a few pigs, so he walked over and asked them how much the two pigs sold for.

Lizheng's youngest son didn't hide anything from him, and directly said it was a dime a dozen.

Xie Lang was startled, two wild boars the size of a calf only sold for a dime?Immediately decided to give up raising pigs to make a fortune, and keep one for Chinese New Year.

Then again, a sling of money is enough to dig a well, and Lizheng wants to use adobe to build a school, but it doesn't cost much to buy some tiles. Even if the bear sells for not much money, it is enough to hire a teacher.

Thinking of this, Xie Lang felt relieved, and didn't bother to ask Xiong how much it sold, and continued to go to Xie Yuan's house.

Leading Xiao Qi home, Xie Lang cut a piece of pork, put in all kinds of big ingredients, the stewed meat was fragrant, and Xiao Qi had enough to eat and drink, so he and Xiao Qi split up for action.

Xiaoqi plays with the hard-working little milk tiger.Xie Lang made a plow frame while it was still dark.

Xie Lang has a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and he doesn't worry about money and food. Although the well on his field has already been dug, he didn't go to water the field the next day, letting others do it first.

Another day later, the land at his house had been poured, all the bricks had been delivered, Xie Yuan was buried in the ground, and Xie Lang led Xiao Qi to water the land.

As soon as Xie Lang pulled out a bucket of water, Xie Jianye and Yao Guizhi rushed over with them.

"I can do it myself." Xie Lang said without waiting for them to approach.

Xie Jianye: "Don't be brave. You have to water eight acres of land for three days alone."

Xie Lang thought to himself, if you don't come, I can take care of it in one day - watering from the map of mountains and rivers while watering.

"Where's your family's land?" Xie Lang asked.

Xie Jianye: "There are your eldest brother, second brother and sister-in-law. By the way, don't cook at noon. Your sister will bring it to us when it's ready." Seeing Xiao Qi holding a water ladle, he quickly said, "Good boy, you can't play this."

"Xiao Qi is not playing, but helping me water the ground." Xie Lang snatched the water ladle from Xiao Qi's hand, "You are weak, and you scoop less, and you will help me water the ground when you grow up."

Xiao Qi didn't move, just stared at Xie Lang.

"It's useless for you to cry." Xie Lang bent over to touch his little face, and said with a smile, "Sit in the field by the side and wait, I'll cook something delicious for you at noon."

Xiao Qi subconsciously looked at Xie Jianye, saw that he was only focused on fetching water, as if he didn't hear Xie Lang's words, so he ran to the side.

Xie Lang noticed the child's little movements and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Yao Guizhi couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"That child is too pitiful." Xie Lang said nonsense, "I'm afraid I don't want him, and I will rush to do all the work at home."

Yao Guizhi glanced at the child, "It's fine. I'm afraid that when he grows up, he will be like his two uncles."

"No." Xie Lang said, "For such a young child, even if I learn something bad from them, I can correct him. No!'

Yao Guizhi: "What's wrong?"

"It's too laborious." Xie Lang pointed at the bucket, "I'll bring the cart over when I get home. Let's pull three buckets at a time and use the cart to push and water."

Xie Jianye shook his head quickly, "It will harden the ground."

"Plow." As soon as Xie Lang said this, Xie Jianye thought that Sanlang's family had cattle.

Xie Jianye's family didn't have a cow, and they used to share one with Saburo's family in previous years, so they forgot about the cow for a while.

"I'm going to push the cart." Xie Lang did as he said, "Let's start watering from the back of my house." Pointing to the southernmost point, he ran home to pull the cart.

With the scooter, Xie Lang felt sorry for Xiao Qi being bored and lonely on the ground, so he let Xiao Qi sit on the scooter.

Although Xie Jianye felt that Xie Lang loved him too much, he couldn't say anything when he thought that the child had no father or mother.

Xie Lang knew the living standard of Xie Jianye's family, so he didn't eat his family's food until noon, took Xiaoqi back, ate some steamed sweet potatoes and steamed eggs, and then took his family's big water tank to the back.

One car and one tank of water saves time and labor. Xie Lang occasionally secretly added some water from the map of Jiangshan to the water tank. Later, Xie Jianye pushed his family's cart over, so that when it got dark, Sanlang's eight mu The ground is ready to be poured.

At noon the next day, Xie Lang finished raking, and the ground was left to dry for a long time.In the afternoon, Xie Lang led the ox and the plow, and led Xiao Qi to plow the land.

When he got to the field, Xie Lang was startled, from south to north, from east to west, the field was full of carts.

Seeing Xie Jianye pushing a cart over, Xie Lang asked, "What are they doing?"

"Not all I learned from you." Xie Jianye said.

Xie Dalang who followed behind couldn't help saying, "Such a good idea, why didn't you say it earlier."

"Because I don't want you to know." Xie Lang blurted out.

Xie Dalang choked.

Xie Jianye said, "Sanlang also thought of it temporarily."

"He's preconceived, it's useless to explain more to him." Xie Lang said.

Xie Dalang: "How do you know it's useless if you don't tell me?"

"I'm smarter than you." Xie Lang said with a smile.

Xie Dalang choked again.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Brother Sanlang has really grown up, and his mouth is as sharp as our women's family." Xie Dalang's wife said with a smile.

Xie Lang's eyebrows jumped, and he said without changing his face, "Yes. I have grown up, and my cattle are also old. After plowing eight acres of land, we have to rest for ten days and a half months. Otherwise, tomorrow next year will be its death day. Don't you think so? Sister-in-law."

Xie Dalang's wife said without hesitation: "I don't know about your cattle."

"You don't know. Does uncle know?" Xie Lang asked.

Xie Jianye was very embarrassed, "Sanlang, don't listen to her nonsense. Dalang is more powerful than your mouth."

"Father!" Xie Dalang disagreed.

Xie Jianye: "Shut up!" Then he looked at Saburo, "Your sister-in-law is not sensible, don't be as knowledgeable as her."

"Eight years older than me and still not sensible, when will I be sensible?" Xie Lang asked.

Xie Jianye was tongue-tied, "She, a person like her will never be sensible." Before Xie Lang could speak, he urged him, "When the weather is good, hurry up and plow the field. Let's water the field too."

"Today, I'll give Uncle some face." Xie Lang glanced at Xie Dalang and his wife, snorted coldly, turned around and raised his whip, and with a sound of parry, the old cow quickly walked forward.He didn't see what Xie Lang said was old and weak.

"What do you think he is doing?" Yao Guizhi, who was supporting the water tank, stared at the eldest daughter-in-law.

Xie Dalang's wife was not convinced, "It was Dalang who he said first."

"Da Lang is sorry." Yao Guizhi said, "Your father said several times at home that San Lang thought of it on the spur of the moment. He didn't believe it himself, and Saburo deserved to say him. What did you follow?"

"I, Da Lang doesn't owe him anything!"

Yao Guizhi: "I owe you not to use his cattle tomorrow."

"Not for you!"

The few people froze for a moment, followed the sound, Xiao Qi put down his little hand pointing at them, and ran towards Xie Lang with his short legs, shouting as he ran, "Third Master, don't let her use the cow."

Xie Lang looked back when he heard this, and seeing the nervous expressions of several people, he held back a smile and said, "Okay!"

Yao Guizhi hurriedly shouted, "Sanlang, you—"

"Auntie, let's talk about it later." Xie Lang interrupted her and yelled at Xiaoqi, "Slow down, don't fall."

Xiao Qi was obedient and slowed down, and said in a childish voice, "I know."

"You know, don't sway when you walk." Xie Lang said.

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Qi said, "I didn't shake."

thump!

Sitting on the ground.

"Pfft!" Xie Lang burst out laughing, and asked when he had laughed enough, "Did you fall?"

Xiao Qi got up, rubbed her buttocks, said with a bitter face, "No. It doesn't hurt at all."

"Come here if it doesn't hurt." Xie Lang waved at him.

Xie Jianye suddenly realized that he was about to reach the end of the plow, and quickly shouted, "Sanlang, slow down, I will hold the plow for you."

"No need. Go do your work." Sanlang lightly whipped the ox, and the ox strode forward. Xie Lang lightly lifted the plow, and the plow turned around.

Xie Jianye couldn't believe it: "This boy Sanlang is better at plowing than me?"

"It must be a lot of practice at home." Yao Guizhi said, "Since he doesn't need it, let's water the ground. Go and talk to Saburo at night, don't be angry." Saying that, he glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law again.

Xie Jianye noticed the look in his wife's eyes, and sighed, "You, only Saburo has a good temper, if you were someone else, you would all be cut off from our family."

"Isn't it just one sentence?" Xie Dalang couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

Xie Jianye suddenly felt chest tightness, "Sanlang is my nephew, if you don't eat, drink, or owe you, why should you bury him?"
