I am old in the Han Dynasty

"That's what you said." Xie Jianye said hastily.

Xie Lang wanted to roll his eyes again.

He didn't have this habit in his previous life, but when he met Xie Jianye, he really didn't know how to express it.You can't scold, you can't scold, you can't scold, it's okay to talk back once or twice, every day, Xie Jianye is not angry, and outsiders don't see it.

Xie Lang could only roll his eyes to relieve his helplessness.

Xie Jianye noticed his expression and immediately realized that he had gone too far.

Xie Dalang was several years older than Xie Lang, and it was Xie Lang who came up with the idea of ​​selling tofu, and Xie Lang said don't worry if something happens, he went back to find Wang Zhongqing.Asking Xie Lang to help sell tofu is no different from Xie Lang giving them money directly.

Xie Jianye smiled awkwardly, "I'm just kidding you."

"I'm not joking." Xie Lang resisted the urge to complain, "Is there anything else? I'll go up the mountain to have a look."

Xie Jianye: "I'll go with you."

"Help me forge iron if you have nothing to do. I will start making plows for Lizheng tomorrow." Xie Lang pointed to the iron in the west side room. "In a few days, we will be able to plow the land and grow millet. If we delay plowing the wasteland, Lizheng will have to talk about it again."

Li Zheng started nagging, and could count Xie Lang down from head to heel.

Xie Jianye thought of this and said, "Then you go. Call Xie Guang."

"It's him with me." Xie Lang saw Xiao Qi sitting at the door of the east side room where they temporarily lived, looking at him eagerly.Walk over and squat in front of him, "Be busy for a while, I will take you with me wherever I go."

The child pursed his lips and smiled: "Third Master, let's go." Covering his mouth with his little hand, he whispered, "I'll go to the house to play with Huzi."

Xie Lang was worried that there would be trouble, so he didn't dare to let the masons know that he was raising tigers, so he simply fooled Xiaoqi. The masons liked little white tigers, and if they knew, they would try to get the little milk tiger away.

After that, Xiao Qi didn't dare to hug the little milk tiger outside, even if the little milk tiger growled hungry.

At this time, the little white tiger was locked up by the child in the room where he and Xie Lang lived.

Xie Lang smiled and said, "Sleep for a while when you're sleepy, and I'll be back when I wake up."

The child waved at Xie Lang, opened the door and hurriedly closed it, fearing that the mason would see a tiger in their room if he was slower.

When Xie Bowen goes hunting in the mountains, he first looks at the traces left by animals, such as excrement and trampled vegetation.Xie Lang and Xie Guang went into the mountain and waited directly by the spring, sitting on a tree and waiting, doing nothing.

Xie Guang had come up with his father several times before, and he had never been so leisurely as now, so he couldn't help wondering, "Can we wait?"

"The birds and beasts also eat and drink." Xie Lang pointed to the creek where the tigress was buried before. "There are traces of animals nearby. They will definitely come here to drink water."

The tigress did not choose to give birth to cubs in cliffs or caves, but chose to be closer to the water source in the woods. There is only one reason, there is no shortage of food and drink here.

When the tigress fights with Xiong Xiazi, the birds and animals run away in fright.It was impossible to wait for the birds and beasts here earlier.Today, after many days, Xie Lang is confident that he will not return without success.

"Then we will—"

"Birds and beasts are not stupid. Didn't your father tell you about the little tiger?"

Earlier Xie Bowen dragged Xie Guang home, and in front of his wife, told them that Xie Lang raised a little white tiger.Under the terrified expressions of the two, they explained why Xie Lang raised it.

Xie Guang thought of what his father said about the tigress, so he begged Xie Lang tearfully to adopt the little white tiger, "They know there is danger here, even if they dare to come here next time, they won't dare to come again next time."

"Yes. The method of staying here and waiting can only be used once or twice." Xie Lang said, "Your father also understands this truth. That's why I brought you into the mountains, so I didn't wait here like I did."

Xie Guang understood completely, "Uncle Sanlang is really smart."

"Smart things are forced by life." Xie Lang smiled wryly.

Xie Guang was also envious of Xie Lang yesterday, that he could meet a noble person by going to Chang'an City.

Seeing Xie Lang's expression now, remembering that he has no father or mother, and still raising Xiaoqi, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him, "Uncle Sanlang, it will be fine. Three, three, hurry——"

"What's wrong?" Xie Lang looked at his hand, and couldn't help opening his mouth, "The deer? I——what kind of fucking luck did I have!"

Xie Guang said eagerly: "Don't say it yet, shoot, shoot!"

"Don't worry. Keep your voice down." Xie Lang drew out the arrow.

Xie Guang quickly covered his mouth and urged him with his eyes, if he didn't hurry up, the deer would run away after drinking.

"No hurry, I'll find a way to get two." Xie Lang said in a low voice.

Xie Guang let go of his hand: "Two?!"

"Two are enough. How much more do you want?" Xie Lang said, "You can't hit it with one blow and let the deer run away. The bloody smell on the deer will attract tigers and black bears. Today next year will be the anniversary of your death."

Xie Guang wanted to say that it was not such a coincidence.

But it is an indisputable fact that there are tigers and black bears on the mountain.They could still hear wolves howling occasionally, not to mention a fight with wild boars earlier.

"Uncle Sanlang can bear seeing so many deer?" Xie Guang couldn't help but said.

Xie Lang: "Greedy is not enough to swallow an elephant. Do you know what it means?" While aiming at the lifeblood of the biggest deer, he explained to him, "I told Li Zheng the day I came back from Chang'an, don't be too greedy. Too greedy , let you succeed this time, you won’t be so lucky next time.”

boom!

The arrow flew out, and the deer fell into the water.

The deer herd became restless.Xie Lang unhurriedly drew another arrow, stood up, and aimed at the deer that was squeezed in the middle of the herd.

The arrow flew out, and the deer that was hit staggered and was knocked to the ground by the deer behind.

Xie Lang put away his bow and arrow, and snapped at Xie Guangnu, "Get down!"

Xie Guang looked at the deer floating on the water, then at the deer lying on the ground, then at Xie Lang, "...Uncle Sanlang, you are really amazing."

"You're too greedy and excited, and your hands are flustered, maybe you won't even be able to hit one." Xie Lang said, "Target smaller, one end is enough, and we are lucky at the two ends, so bad luck will come." Cut off a tree branch as thick as a child's arm, and as the branch fell to the ground, "cut off the fork, I'll find some rattan, and we will carry it back."

Two adult male deer brought 17-year-old Xie Lang and 15-year-old Xie Guanglei to the foot of the mountain and threw the deer to the ground, lying on the ground panting.

After resting for a while, Xie Lang stood up, "Are you still greedy?"

"Don't dare." The two deer almost exhausted him, so what's the use of trying to get back.

Stay in the mountains and wait for the villagers to help. If you can't guarantee that the villagers haven't arrived, wait for the wolves first.

Xie Guang sat up propped up, "Uncle Sanlang is waiting for me here, I'll go to the village to call someone."

"Whoever calls for help, they have to share some." Xie Lang reminded him.

Xie Guang wanted to talk about his father, but his father and his uncle sold tofu in Chang'an.Xie Dalang and Xie Erlang also went.Xie Jianye is old, so he will definitely not be able to come by himself.

Xie Guang rubbed his legs and stood up, "Let's carry it back by ourselves."

"Let's take the deer whips one by one and sell them in Chang'an. I will give you three deer legs, and I will give one to your grandfather and one to your uncle. I will keep one and give three to my uncle, and I will send the last one to Chang'an. Let's roast the meat, do you think it's okay?" Xie Lang asked.

Xie Guang said without hesitation, "I can do anything."

"Let's go." Xie Lang moved the deer towards him.

Arriving in the village naturally attracted the whole village to watch, asking Xie Lang where he took the taxi.

Xie Lang said that he didn't hit anything at first, but when he was about to come back, he bumped into a herd of deer, and after chasing for a long time, he hit two.

Seeing that he and Xie Guangre were sweating profusely and their hair was drenched, the villagers didn't doubt his words and helped them bring the deer home.

Xie Lang slaughtered the two dying deer, put away the deer whips, and took away Xie Jianye and Xie Guang's share, and then said to everyone, "I'll roast it on the fire right now, the elderly and children each have a share."

"So we don't have to eat?"

Xie Lang turned his head to look and saw that he was in his early twenties, "Are there any children at home? Are there any old people?"

The other party choked, and the people around laughed out loud.

When Xie Lang came, he cut a bamboo from the foot of the mountain, and asked someone who had nothing to do to help him cut the bamboo to skewer meat.

After the meat was roasted, Xie Lang gave a piece to Xiaoqi in his family first, then to the masons, and then to the old people and children in the village.

The old man and the child dispersed, and only the bones and flesh of the two deer remained.

Xie Jianye was very distressed, "Why did you roast it all?"

"There are still two deer legs in the kitchen." Xie Lang reminded him.

Xie Jianye: "One of them is reserved for the prince."

"There are three more in your family, so please give me yours." Xie Lang handed Lizheng a piece of bone.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "That's reasonable, I like to hear it."

Xie Jianye glared at him, then turned to Xie Lang, "You might as well be as stingy as before."

"Then no one will help me build a house, and I don't have time to hunt deer in the mountains, and you don't even want to get three deer legs." Xie Lang reminded him again.

Xie Jianye was really speechless this time.

Li Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Sanlang ignored you before, you said that Sanlang has a bad temper. How does it feel to talk to you now?"

"It doesn't taste as good as the venison in your hand." Xie Jianye said angrily.

Xie Lang stood up, wiped his hands, "Stop nagging." Then he asked the mason, "I don't make bamboo shoot soup at noon, can I drink water instead?"

"Anything is fine." The leading mason said, "By the way, little brother Sanlang, Chun'e in our village is Xiao Qi's aunt's mother-in-law. I heard from us that beans can be used to make tofu, and you can also make tofu.

"Chun'e was worried about stealing your business, so she didn't want to do it, so she quarreled with her mother-in-law. When I came today, Chun'e's husband asked me to ask you if he would steal your business."

The villagers who came to help build the house quickly went to Xie Lang.

Xie Jianye couldn't help asking: "Did Chun'e make it?"

"I can't snatch it even if I do it." Seeing them so anxious, Xie Lang wanted to sigh again, but he held back this time, "Let's not talk about Chun'e, everyone in our village does it, so it should be someone's or someone else's."

I don't understand what I said, "Tell me in detail and let everyone listen."

"It's so hard to make tofu. It doesn't have the strength of Brother Bowen, and it's not like my elder brother and second brother who have been forging iron. Within three days, I will be so tired that my waist is sore and my legs hurt." Xie Lang said. If you go out and worry about getting sick again, if you don’t earn enough money to buy medicine, who will do it.

"My mother used to say that if you want to make money, you don't have to be afraid of suffering or tiredness. You have to keep doing it. Fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days, the tofu is better than others and no one buys it. People think you are not trustworthy."

Xie Zhongwu's wife didn't hide anything when she made tofu. People in the village went to her house to learn from her.In the end, there were only three more donkeys, because most of the villagers were afraid that they would not be able to persist and that they would not be able to make enough money.

Xie Lang's words touched everyone's heart.

Xie Jianye was not worried about Xie Chun'e robbing the business, because she was about to give birth, and her husband carried the tofu to the city to sell, and sold up to four boards a day, which was incomparable to Xie Dalang's cart.

Xie Chun'e will give birth tomorrow, and no matter how tired her in-laws are, her husband can't go to the city anymore, so he can only make some and sell them in the village.

Masons also understand this, "What if his family also buys a donkey?"

"Chun'e's parents-in-law are not in good health. When Chun'e's man goes to serve in the military, she will not be able to sell a donkey in the city." Xie Lang said.

Every year in May and June, men over the age of 20 and under the age of 55 have to work for the government for a month.

When everyone heard this, they asked Xie Jianye, "How old are you?"

"I have to go too." Xie Jianye has been so full of tofu recently that he forgot about it, "Tomorrow I will teach Dalang and his mother to drive a donkey and drive their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to sell tofu in the city. My daughter-in-law Make tofu at home."

Too many things happened recently, and Lizheng also forgot about serving in the army.After Xie Jianye finished speaking, he said, "I will go to the south with me tomorrow to build the village school, and I will find a teacher to teach the children."

"What kind of wife?" Yao Guizhi, Xie Jianye's wife, couldn't help asking.

Li Zheng: "Just know more than me."

"My natal family has one, go back to my natal family tomorrow and ask?" Yao Guizhi looked at Xie Jianye while talking.

Xie Jianye: "Your natal family is more than ten miles away from here, and they may not come here."

"One hour a day, anyone who has no money wants to come." Xie Lang said suddenly.

Lizheng's cloudy eyes showed everything, "Yes! No one is not happy to teach for a long time. Damn Dalang, I will ask tomorrow. Shu asked him to mention it. I think he should come to teach the children in our village."

Yao Guizhi smiled and said, "Then I'll go tomorrow." As he spoke, he headed home.

Xie Jianye stood up, "It's not dark yet, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Cut venison for my mother."

Yao Guizhi's voice came from outside, and Xie Jianye couldn't help muttering, "Just be with her natal family."

Xie Lang was speechless, who would kiss her mother if she didn't.

Worried that he couldn't help but hate him, Xie Lang went to boil water for the mason, and then took the dirty water from washing vegetables to the latrine.

The urinal Xie Lang didn't let the masons intervene. After the masons left, he went to pick a blue stone from the Jiangshan map, dug a groove and polished it to be smooth, put it directly in the toilet, and then sprinkled a layer of soil on it. People mistakenly think it is a blue brick.

When building the wall, the masons left a hole in the toilet seat, Xie Lang put the stone in, and it just connected to the cesspit outside.Later, he laid bricks in the hut, causing the people who came to help him to build the house to go to the toilet first.

Xie Lang was annoyed by rushing twice a day and had to sprinkle a layer of dust on it, but he couldn't show a hint of displeasure, let alone how aggrieved he felt.

Coming out of the toilet, Xie Lang wanted to throw away the dirty bucket.Worried that others would mistake him for temper tantrum, Xie Lang simply took the shovel and went out.

"Third Master."

Xiaoqi followed.

Xie Lang stopped, "The dung pit is full, I'm digging dung, don't come here."

"I'll accompany the third master." The child reached out and grabbed his hand.

Seeing him like this, Xie Lang dissipated the gloom in his heart, "Don't think it stinks."

"I don't think it smells bad." The child said seriously.

Xie Lang went outside and dug a shovel dung, the child covered his nose.

"Xiaoqi's nose is uncomfortable?" Xie Lang asked intentionally.

The child hastily put down his hand, "No, I'm fine."

OK, let's see how long you can bear.

Xie Lang held his breath, and dug another shovel, the breeze blew, and the stench wafted straight to Xiaoqi.

The child raised his arms and met Xie Lang's gaze, "Third Master, I'm going to play with Huzi." Before Xie Lang could speak, he ran into the house.

Li, who was walking out, was helping him quickly, "Slow down. What are you doing running so fast. Sanlang, what kind of dung are you digging after lunch. We are all sitting in the yard."

"It's full. If you don't dig it, it will flow to the door of Xie Guang's house." Xie Lang pointed to the exit of the urinal, letting him see for himself.

Li Zheng saw that there was water all over there, "Those kids can really pull."

Xie Lang thought to himself, it's not as good as you, who settle three meals a day at my house.

"That's right." Xie Lang said, "If you think it smells bad, just close the door."

Lizheng raised his hand, "No. I put a few baskets by the river, and I have to go see if I caught fish fry. Hey, is that Dalang over there?"

"Where?" Xie Lang followed his hand and looked to the southwest, "The one with the head looks like Brother Bowen." Looking up at the sun, it was almost at the end of the day, "Why so fast?"

Li Zheng worried: "Nobody bought it?"

Xie Lang raised his hand to block the glare of the sun, "He walked very fast, the donkey is easy, it should be sold out."

"I'll go over and have a look." Li Zheng strode forward.

Xie Lang turned around and continued digging dung, picked up the shovel, and felt that selling tofu was one of the important events in the village, so he couldn't be so indifferent.

Selling tofu was proposed by him, so he should be more excited than Lizheng.

The shovel was placed by the wall, Xie Lang ran over and shouted loudly, "Sold out?"

"It's sold out." Xie Bowen yelled, and stopped the car, "It's a coincidence that we went, there was a man who went shopping, and when he saw the bamboo shoot tofu soup I brought over, he said that the tofu in the car was all included."

"Yes, he didn't wait for us, he came back earlier." Xie Erlang said after him.

Xie Lang smiled and said, "That's good. By the way, let me borrow your donkey, and I'll go to the city."

"You also sell tofu?" Xie Dalang blurted out.

Xie Lang didn't want to talk to him, so he simply looked at his second brother, do you want to borrow it?

Xie Dalang thought it was impossible when he said it, so he asked Li Zheng when he saw him like this, "What is he doing?"

"Sanlang was lucky enough to get two deer today." Li Zheng said it, and several people exclaimed at the same time, "Leave a deer leg for Wang Gongzi. Sanlang planned to go to the city with you tomorrow and send it to Wang Gongzi."

Xie Bowen handed him the rein, "Use my family's. I'll get it some water and some grass."

"My family has grass." Xie Lang's family has cattle, and they prepare more fodder than his family.Xie Bowen asked his younger brother to take down the tofu board, and he drove the donkey cart to Xie Lang's gate.

Xie Lang didn't even look at Xiao Qi's uncle and second uncle, turned around and asked, "These two are also sold out?"

Xie Bowen nodded, "Sold to wine shops. Are you still angry with them?"

"I don't have a conscience, I don't want to talk to them. Don't think that if you give them a smile, you will forgive them, and come to marry me."

Subconsciously, Xie Bowen wanted to turn around, but he turned back again with a movement of his head, "You can't get too close. You don't want money, you don't want your life, maybe one day I will stab you in the back."

"Yes." Seeing him tie the donkey, Xie Lang said, "Your family still has a deer penis, give it to me, I'll take it to the city and sell it together."

Xie Bowen didn't understand: "What deer whip?"

Xie Lang explained.

Xie Bowen frowned when he heard that, "Xie Guang is a bastard, why are you so ignorant. It's not enough for you to have three deer legs, and you need a deer whip. See if I don't beat him."

"I will give it." Xie Lang said hastily.

Xie Bowen: "I can't want you. Go to the city and ask the prince first, if he doesn't want you, then sell it. It's a good thing, rich and noble people like it."

Prince?Wei Qing?Deer whip?

Xie Lang couldn't help showing a smirk, "Really don't want it? You can sell it for a lot of money at the pharmacy."

"You are in need of money, and you will share it with Xie Guang when you call later." Xie Bowen said.

Xie Lang: "Okay, I'll send it to Prince Wang."
