I am old in the Han Dynasty

Subconsciously, Liu Che wanted to reach out and ask Xie Lang to help him see when he could give birth to a son.However, I was worried that Xie Lang would say that there is no god in the world, "I'm not sick."

Xie Lang was a little disappointed, "Caomin, how many sweet potatoes are you going to roast?"

"Stove room?" Liu Che asked.

Xie Lang shook his head, "It's over here."

Going out to pick some slender sweet potatoes, Xie Lang lit the small stove and brought it to the floor of the main room, put a net made by himself with iron bars on the small stove, put the sweet potatoes on the net, and roasted slowly over low heat.

Seeing him turning the sweet potatoes with bamboo tongs from time to time, Liu Che didn't feel anxious at all, so he couldn't help but look at him, "I found that you seem to be a different person when you do things."

"How do you say that?" Xie Lang turned his head and asked.

Liu Che: "When people from your village come to you, you are usually very impatient. I thought you were impatient."

"Them?" Xie Lang glanced at Liu Che, "Caomin is used to being alone, and he doesn't like to be disturbed when he is alone."

Liu Che turned his head and asked Xiao Qi, "What does your third master usually do at home?"

"Feed the cow, the donkey, the pig, the chicken, the duck." Xiao Qi said.

Xie Lang continued: "Hey brother, hey tiger, hey little wolf, hey little seven."

Liu Che was speechless.

If instead of him finishing all these tasks and finally taking a break, someone kept coming to him, even if it was a good thing, he would still want to kill that person.

"Am I annoying?" Liu Che asked.

The annoying Xie Lang didn't dare to say anything.He doesn't think about himself, he has to think about Xiao Qi.

"You're not bothered today." Xie Lang said, "I didn't force me to make tea for you."

Liu Che recalled that from the time he entered the door to now, he really didn't ask Xie Lang to do anything, "Dining at your house at noon?"

"If your majesty doesn't eat it, the grass people have to do it too." But what to eat is a problem.

Xie Lang has a map of mountains and rivers, and there are many vegetables in the map, so don't worry about having nothing to eat.But it's cold in winter, Xie Lang doesn't want to wash vegetables, let alone wash pots and dishes.If you don’t eat it, you will feel cold and cold in your stomach when you watch the small red clay stove surrounded by blazing fire.

"What would Your Majesty want to eat?" With such a difficult decision, Xie Lang decisively threw it to Liu Che.

Liu Che looked at him, "Anything is fine?"

"Does Your Majesty want to eat pork?" Xie Lang said, his heart suddenly moved, "Caomin make chicken stewed with mushrooms?"

Xiao Qi quickly said: "You can't kill chickens."

"I'm going to buy some roosters." Xie Lang looked at Liu Che, "Those who come with His Majesty must also eat something."

The eight guards brought by Liu Che were sitting in the west side room of Xie Lang's house.Liu Che didn't want to go back to the palace for the time being, so he couldn't let them go hungry.Otherwise, if something happened on the road, they would be shivering with cold and starving, and they would try their best to protect Liu Che, but they might be powerless.

"I'm not hungry now." Liu Che said.

Liu Che was in a bad mood today, and Xie Lang felt that he didn't want to chat with her either.Because he just wanted to be alone when he was in a bad mood, he asked Xiao Qi to accompany Liu Che, and he went out to buy cocks.

People in the village didn't like raising roosters before.Now that the family has plenty of food, Xie Lang buys it from the villagers every three days, and the shrewd old man raises chickens, ducks and geese when he has nothing to do.

Xie Lang went around the village, picked three big and fat roosters, cleaned them up and chopped them up, threw two into an iron pot, and put one in a small clay pot to marinate.

Let the people brought by Liu Che cook the chicken, Xie Lang and the noodles, roll them into thin slices and put them on the drawer in the iron pot to steam.Then he called someone over to burn the pottery urn to steam the chestnut rice, and then he took the small pottery pot to the main room, and put the pottery pot into a small red clay stove to stew slowly.

The chicken and chestnut rice in the stove are ready, and the chicken in the main room is just stewed.

The people brought by Liu Che were full of food and drink, Xie Lang cleaned up the kitchen, and brought the noodles to the main room, and the chicken in the clay pot was almost done.

Xie Lang put the noodle cakes on the table, and went to fetch the clay pot.

Liu Che, who was still in a daze, suddenly came to his senses, "You just put it on like this?"

"What's wrong?" Xie Lang was puzzled.

Liu Che was choked by his question, and pointed at the case, "This is ebony! Ebony!"

"Oh, I forgot." Put the pot back on the stove, Xie Lang went to find a plate in the kitchen, put the pot full of chicken and mushrooms on the plate, and put the pot filled with water on the stove before wiping. Wipe your hands and serve chicken to one big and one small.

Liu Che glanced at him, "You usually just put it on like just now?"

"It's the first time to cook in the house." Xie Lang said, "Caomin always think that the stove is a place for cooking, and this is a place for drinking tea and chatting, so don't confuse them."

Liu Che was satisfied, "You don't need to eat those three?"

"There was a lot of stewing yesterday. They were full in the morning, so they are not hungry for the time being." Xie Lang put two chicken legs into the bowls of Xiao Qi and Liu Che. He chose two chicken wings and sat down to eat, "The soup is good, Your Majesty can Drink something to warm your stomach."

Liu Che lowered his head and sniffed, "It's very fragrant. You didn't put anything else."

"The mushrooms inside are fragrant." Xie Lang recalled, "There should be hazel mushrooms in the mountains in Liaodong. Eat more in winter to prevent dry skin."

Liu Che couldn't help laughing, "You want to tell me again, panaceas are not as good as whole grains and all kinds of herbs in the world?"

"There is no panacea in the world." Xie Lang put down the chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a face towel, "How is Your Majesty compared to the First Emperor?"

Liu Che: "Incomparable."

"Your Majesty thinks that you can accomplish what the First Emperor was unable to accomplish?" Xie Lang asked again.

Liu Che looked at him, "He doesn't know you."

"How does Your Majesty know that there is no Xie Sanlang beside the First Emperor? There may be many." Xie Lang said, "Like His Majesty, he didn't tell anyone, so neither the historian nor the common people knew. After the First Emperor left, this secret followed. He entered the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."

Liu Che couldn't help rubbing his forehead, he was convinced, really convinced.

"I can't say no to you." Liu Che picked up the chopsticks, put a hazel mushroom in his mouth, and was a little surprised, "It looks ugly, but it tastes good?"

Xie Lang: "It's normal. Just like a human being, flashy."

"Don't turn the corner to persuade me. There is a Ji An in the court, which is enough for my headache." Liu Che said, and sighed.

Xie Lang was curious, could it be that he was depressed?But Xie Lang didn't ask, he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the court.

Seeing that Liu Che had finished eating the bread in his hand, Xie Lang handed him another piece.Seeing that Xiao Qi wanted to take it, Xie Lang stretched out his hand to take the bread away.

"Third Master, I want it." The child said hurriedly.

Xie Lang pointed to his bowl, "I'll give it to you if you don't hiccup after eating the meat in it."

"Your third master is rich, one chicken a day is enough for you to eat until you are 80 years old." Liu Che said, "Let him do it tomorrow."

Xie Lang: "It's useless for Your Majesty to tell him these things now. I used to be hungry and afraid. It will be fine after two years when that feeling disappears."

"Have you ever been hungry before?" Liu Che looked at him.

Xie Lang wasn't sure which past he was asking, "A very long time ago? No. Although there were wars over there, I caught up with the good times. The world was peaceful, and the people had nothing to do. It was very restless, so there were many armed fights."

"Is it the fairyland?" Liu Che asked.

Xie Lang smiled and said, "If your majesty thinks that the fairy world is like that, then it is the fairy world. However, most of the fairies in the fairy world die when they are seven or eighty years old."

Liu Che choked, regretting the extra words.If you know it in your heart, it will be done.

"The third master is not a god." Xiao Qi put down her chopsticks and hiccupped.

Xie Lang wiped his mouth for him, "Go out and play with Mavericks and the others. But you can't tell them about your grandpa Meng Da."

"I know." The child put on his shoes, "I'll tell you what the calf eats." Then he ran outside.

Liu Che glanced at Xiaoqi, then looked away, "That kid is smart, you shouldn't keep him in the countryside."

"A little wealth is peace." Xie Lang finished speaking, and took another piece of cake, "Most people's lifelong pursuit is nothing more than food and clothing. Your Majesty should believe this."

Liu Che: "What you want may not be what he wants."

"I have asked him to learn Chinese and calligraphy from my master. I plan to teach him martial arts in the first spring." Xie Lang said, "When he grows up, he can choose for himself. He can do whatever he wants. Stay in the countryside, I have a house I have land. Go to the city to start a small business. I have money. Follow His Majesty, and His Majesty will just take him away. Even if he wants to fight the enemy, he can come back alive. It is his fate that he will never return. .”

Liu Che was surprised, "You really think so in your heart?"

Xie Lang nodded.

Liu Che couldn't believe it, "You are so open-minded, and you still say that you are not a god who has gone down to earth?"

This can also wrap around.

"Have you ever heard of Shangshan Sihao, Your Majesty?" Xie Lang asked, "How is Sanlang compared to them?"

Liu Che: "My...the dishes are all cold."

Xie Lang smiled and served him some hot soup.

After dinner, Xie Lang couldn't leave Liu Che alone in the room, put the leftovers in the cupboard, and came back to accompany Liu Che.

Liu Che didn't speak, Xie Lang supported his head with his hands, leaning against the table in a daze.

Xie Lang originally thought that Liu Che would be silent for a while, and when he felt at ease, he would chat with him, or get up and leave.But until [-]:[-] a.m. when the room was dark, Liu Che had no intention of speaking, but Xie Lang couldn't sit still.

Turning his head to see that Liu Che was not asleep, Xie Lang got up and found a bamboo basket with a lid that two old people in the village had given him before, and filled Liu Che with a basket of hazel mushrooms and a basket of mangoes.Put it in front of Liu Che, point to the mango and show him, "The last crop."

Liu Che smiled, his brows parted, "Don't you prepare two stinky durians for Brother Zhongqing?"

"It's cold and hard to take, forget it." Xie Lang said, "I will go to the city to buy things for New Year's Eve in a few days, Cao Min will deliver them to him personally."

Liu Che stood up and walked out with a basket in one hand.

Xie Lang sent him away, called Xiao Qi home, warmed up the stewed meat yesterday afternoon, fed the three cubs, warmed up the leftover vegetables they ate at noon, ate some with Xiao Qi, washed up and left go to sleep.

Going to bed early at night, Xie Lang couldn't fall asleep the next day when the sky was bright.

The weather was cold, and the animals didn't bother to get up to eat, so Xie Lang cleaned up the stables before taking his family's three animals up the mountain.

The white tiger and the black wolf worked together to get a deer, the golden monkey caught a pheasant, Xie Lang got a bamboo rat, and the family of four went back home.

Xie Lang didn't want to take a detour, so he entered the village directly from the east end of the village.At this time, the people in the village rose up.

Seeing the things in his hand this time, instead of teasing him, he asked, "Why did you get up so early?"

"I'm getting older, I don't sleep much, I can't fall asleep." Xie Lang said leisurely.

The speaker choked and went back to the house with the dung basket.

Xie Lang shrugged his shoulders, walked slowly to the house and found the door of the main room was ajar, probably when Xiao Qi got up to pee, he had turned it off, "Xiao Qi, there must be no heat in the bed."

"A little bit more."

When the child's voice came out, Xie Lang shook his head and smiled, "Get up. Help me light the fire."

"Ok."

After a while, the child came out with his shoes on.

Xie Lang asked Yao Guizhi to sew him a thick padded coat and trousers, the child would not be able to squat down if he wore it, Xie Lang tied his shoelaces and asked, "Did you pee on the couch?"

"I've grown up, Third Master!" the child said loudly with his eyes wide open.

Xie Lang slapped him on the buttocks, "Okay. Big boy, let's cook."

Cook some white rice porridge, steam two bowls of egg custard, tell Xiao Qi to watch the fire, and Xie Langqi clean up the deer and bamboo rats.

After the meal, Xie Lang cleaned up the stove before going to the yard to cook the three venison stews for his family.

After the venison was stewed, the bamboo rat was marinated with sauce and put in the cabinet, Xie Lang led Xiao Qi to drive to the city to buy pork and cloth.

Save the pork to feed the three, and save the cloth to make clothes for Xiao Qi.

Today Wei Qing had to go to court, Xie Lang made sure that he was not at home, put a bag of things at his door, and dragged Xiao Qi away.

Xie Lang did such things a lot, at first the concierge came out to call him and beat him everywhere, but now he took his things into the room and closed the door.

In the past when Xie Lang sent Wei Qing meat, Wei Qing was very embarrassed, but now that he knows that Xie Lang is carrying a huge treasure, he no longer feels ashamed, and still doesn't take Xie Lang's kindness for granted.

The day before New Year's Eve, Wei Qing was free and drove to the Silkworm Farm to give Xie Lang two pairs of boots and a bow and arrow.

Xie Lang couldn't help laughing.

Wei Qing didn't understand, "What are you laughing at? You, have you bought it?"

"No." Xie Lang shook his head.

A few days ago Xie Lang took Xiao Qi to the city to do some shopping, and when he saw someone selling steamed buns, he thought he was mistaken.After confirming that it was correct, Xie Lang went to ask how he did it.

Seeing him wearing a fox fur cloak, the cake vendor thought he was a nobleman and would not compete with him for business, so he told Xie Lang the truth that he made it with wine.

People at this time said that wine refers to rice wine.Xie Lang immediately bought two jars of rice wine, went home to test it a few times, wasted more than ten catties of noodles, and today he finally made it.

Xie Lang then asked, "Does Zhongqing believe that good people are rewarded?"

"Trust!" Wei Qing nodded without hesitation.

Xie Lang smiled and said, "Then go in."

"What's in the room?" Wei Qing was stunned by him.

Xie Lang turned sideways, "You'll know when you go in."

Wei Qing went in and looked around, and there was not a single white cat.There are no more houses, no less, and no one else, "Have you developed an elixir?"

"I thought you were making fun of me, instead of stating the facts." Xie Lang closed the door and pointed to the stove in the east.

Wei Qing handed Xiao Qi the shoes, bow and arrow, "Have you made the meat-wrapped buns you mentioned?"

"Tastier than that." Xie Lang washed his hands and lifted the lid of the pot, "This is the delicacy in the world."

Wei Qing looked up and was a little disappointed, "Round pancakes?"

"Do you like pasta?" Xie Lang asked without answering.

Wei Qing nodded and liked it very much.

"Then this is delicious to you." Xie Lang took one, put it on a plate to spread the heat, and then scooped up a basin of water for Wei Qing, "Wash your hands."

Wei Qing wiped his hands, pointed at the round cakes, "Eat it directly?"

Xie Lang nodded, and gave another half to Xiao Qi, "I'll eat this at noon."

"I want to eat vegetables." The child raised his opinion after taking the steamed buns.

Xie Lang: "Your grandpa Zhongqing said that the cakes I make are delicious, so I'll cook for you."

"Grandpa Zhongqing, tell me quickly." The child urged Wei Qing after taking a bite of the steamed bun.

Wei Qing imitated him, took a bite and smacked it, and it tasted like a pancake.No, it is chewier than biscuits.Wei Qing took another bite and suddenly felt slurred, "Did you put sugar?"

"No." Xie Lang shook his head, "Put some wine."

Wei Qing broke open the steamed buns and smelled them carefully, and there was no smell of alcohol. "There are also some sold in Dongshi. I have eaten them, but the taste...is just ordinary cakes."

"That's because their noodles are reconciled, and they will be steamed in the wok after a while." Xie Lang said, "A piece of mine." He gestured with his hand, "it's a pot full, so I take it out for cooking."

Wei Qing: "You said the other day that you put meat in it?"

"There's no meat, only vegetables." He and Xiao Qi were the only two at home, and there was too much to eat, so Xie Lang planned to steam a pot of steamed buns and a pot of steamed buns.The steamed buns were steamed, but the buns hadn't been wrapped yet, so Xie Lang simply asked Wei Qing to help him roll out the dough.

Wei Qing has nothing to do today, before coming here he planned to have dinner at his house, Xie Lang wanted to help, Wei Qing was obliged.Although he didn't roll it well and Xie Lang's bag was even uglier, neither of them disliked the other.

After working for a while, Wei Qing helped Xie Lang light the fire, and Xie Lang went to stew the three dogs.

The meat is stewed fragrant, and the buns are ready.

Xie Lang stuffed a few pieces of firewood into the simple stove, then washed his hands to get the buns.

There are two kinds of buns, mushroom and leek egg and tofu bean curd stuffing.Xie Lang considered that Wei Qing ate two steamed buns just now, so he broke two and gave him half each, and the remaining two halves, he and Xiao Qi each had half.

Seeing the two of them eating, Xie Lang asked, "How does it taste?"

Wei Qing pointed to the tofu buns, "I like this."

Xiao Qi's also happened to be tofu buns, so he immediately said, "I like this too."

"Then I can only like stuffed mushrooms." Xie Lang said.

Wei Qing subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"No one likes it, no one eats it, so you can't feed it to the monkey." Xie Lang said, "It's made with painstaking efforts, and I have to eat it with tears in my eyes." As he said that, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, "Here you are, Your Majesty." Send it?"

Wei Qing trembled and almost threw the mushroom buns out, "This joke is not funny."

"Just say it casually. I don't dare if you dare." Xie Lang said, "It will be cold in the palace. By the way, I will write the recipe to you later. Let your cook try it, and tell me when you are successful. His Majesty."

Wei Qing was surprised, "Today is not like you."

"I don't want to be pointed at by him and scolded by him again." Xie Lang wrinkled his nose and said, "Besides, if you take the initiative to send it up, if he has something to eat, he won't have to find me when he's not free."

Wei Qing nodded, "Your Majesty is a bit busy this year. A few days ago—"

"Don't say it. I don't want to know what happened in the court." Xie Lang said, "I don't know anything. When chatting with your majesty, I won't slip the tongue, and I won't be tempted to persuade him. Someday he wants to ask I don’t know where to start with my opinion.”

Wei Qing laughed and said, "Okay, I won't say anything. Let's eat buns."

The days were short in winter, Wei Qing had a full meal at Xie Lang's house, took a short rest, got up and went back.

As Wei Qing said, Liu Che was busy and there were many things waiting for him to deal with, so that when he came to Xie Lang's house again, it was March of the fifth year of Yuanguang, the time when the earth returns to spring, everything recovers, and the grass grows and the warblers fly.

Xie Lang's family had enough grain to eat. Eight acres of wheat were planted on the east side of the road, and no spring wheat was planted on the west side of the road.A full six acres of sweet potatoes were planted.There are some sweet potato seedlings left, give some to Xie Chun'e, some to his aunt, that is, his father and Xie Jianye's aunt's house.

Xie Lang's aunt is insane, and his father's aunt's family is very particular about people.Qingming came to visit the old man's grave, and seeing Xie Lang planting sweet potatoes in the field, he helped to plant them and left without even asking a word.

It's rare to come across a family with such knowledgeable people, Xie Lang asked Xie Erlang to send them over in person.

The remaining sweet potato seedlings were cleaned up, Xie Lang had nothing to do at home, only waiting for the summer harvest, but Liu Che was waiting.Xie Lang seriously suspected that he had counted the days to come.

Liu Che came here this time to sweep away the gloom before New Year's Eve, and when he entered the door, he laughed and shouted, "Xiaoqi—"

"Xiao Qi is in the school." Xie Lang continued, "If you want to find him, you can find him directly south from the main road in the west."

Just when the child was not at home, Liu Che entered the room and said, "Bring some fruit out, I'm dying of thirst."

"Saburo, Saburo!"

Liu Che frowned.

Xie Lang laughed loudly, "It seems that His Majesty came today at an inappropriate time." Then he ran outside, "What's the matter?"

"I think there may be a plague of locusts this year."

Liu Che suddenly got up and strode out, "Who did you hear that from?"

"Wang, Mr. Wang, you, where did you come from?"
