I am old in the Han Dynasty

Envious of Liu Che, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Sanlang—"

"What do you want to say again?" Xie Lang was wary.

Liu Che choked, "...what did I do?"

"Should we eat or not? The grassroots don't know what His Majesty wants to do, but they know that there is nothing good to do." Xie Lang said, "The Taifu has never taught His Majesty that you don't talk when you eat or sleep?"

Liu Che pointed at him, "You—don't let me tell you?"

"Don't dare." Xie Lang asked without waiting for him to open his mouth, "Pork doesn't suit your appetite? Then your majesty has to ask the grassroots people for a big matter, so you have to put it aside. Your majesty asked the grassroots people to raise pigs, and the silkworm farmers followed suit. Lean pork is still as unpalatable as before, your majesty is going ahead, and they have to come to me to ask for an explanation."

Wei Qing hadn't eaten yet, so he quickly asked, "Really?"

"Really." Xiao Qi tilted her head and looked at Wei Qing, "Grandpa Zhongqing, when I came back, my uncle asked me if the pork was good."

Wei Qing put a piece into his mouth, feeling relieved, "It's okay, it's okay."

Tong Yan Wuji.

When these words came from Xie Lang's mouth, Liu Che would weigh them carefully.Xie Xiaoqi, a boy under the age of six, said this, and Liu Che showed displeasure on his face, "Move to live in the city."

"There isn't such a big place in the city. Chickens, ducks, pigs, and cattle are raised in the courtyard, and vegetables and wheat are grown outside." Xie Lang pointed to the mountains to the north, "There are also all kinds of game."

Liu Che also thought that there was a monkey, a tiger and a wolf in his house.

"How long can the three of your family live?" Liu Che asked.

Xie Lang almost didn't react, "Brother Monkey?"

Liu Che nodded.

Xie Lang: "I heard people say fourteen or five years ago. But I don't know if it's true or not."

"Fourteen or five years? How long have you lived?" Liu Che said.

Xie Lang nodded, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll just ask casually." Liu Che put a piece of pork ribs into his mouth, swallowed it, and said, "It's still a bit fishy."

Xie Lang: "Because the pig is too small. It will be just right in autumn."

"Autumn." Liu Che couldn't help but think of the locust plague, and sighed, "Autumn should be good."

If you are still present, it is not good at all.

Xie Lang said something in his heart, and then he said, "Do your best and obey the destiny. Your Majesty is useless to worry about."

"Yes, Your Majesty, let's eat vegetables." Wei Qing used a bamboo clip to hold a piece of lobster meat for him, and said to Xie Lang, "Give me two later."

Xie Lang smiled and said, "Okay."

At three o'clock, when the two returned, Wei Qing's horse had two extra wicker baskets.

Everyone in the village thought it was pork, including Xie Jianye, and asked Xie Lang, "Didn't Mr. Wang say no?"

"They raised pigs with money. He's being polite, so I can't be ignorant." Xie Lang said with a smile, "Have you heard what Xiao Qi said? Pork tastes good."

After dinner, Xie Lang, Wei Qing and Liu Che were drinking tea in the living room, Xiao Qi ran out to play with the children, and came back after a while.Xie Lang asked him what's the matter, the child was very angry and said that whoever saw him would pull him to ask if the pork was good, so he didn't want to go out to play.

Xie Lang expected this, advised Xiao Qi not to be angry, and asked him to go out and tell the villagers that pork is the best, so don't ask him any more.

As soon as everyone heard Xie Lang say this, they guessed that it was Xiao Qi who said it, and they were immediately embarrassed, with embarrassment on their faces.

Seeing this, Xie Lang deliberately asked, "Don't you believe me?"

Xie Bowen hurriedly said: "No. I was thinking about how much my pig can sell until the Chinese New Year."

"It can't be sold for much money." As soon as Xie Lang said this, everyone changed their faces, "Really. Pork has never been very delicious, and you won't believe it if you say it is delicious. Unless you kill a pig, or ask me to buy a few catties of meat , stew it with sauce to taste, and give it to the people in the restaurant to taste. Do you want to buy it?" After speaking, he looked at everyone.

"Do you want more money for a little pork?"

Xie Lang followed the sound, Xiaoqi's eldest aunt couldn't help frowning, why there are these two everywhere, "My uncle asked me to buy it, I definitely don't want it. You, I won't sell it for thirty cents a catty."

"I haven't bought it yet."

Xie Lang: "Then what are you doing here?"

"What's wrong with me here? It's not your place."

Xie Lang pointed behind him, "Look clearly, whose place is this?"

Xiaoqi's eldest aunt followed his fingers to see the blue brick and big tiled house of his house, and she was standing at the door of Xie Lang's house at this moment, her face changed drastically, she turned her head and left.

Xie Lang scoffed, then turned to the others, "What about you?"

"Thirty cents a catty is too expensive." Xie Jiankang said in front of him.

Xie Lang said with a smile: "You guys must buy it for five cents a catty. It's just the meat from the back of a pig. I'll give one pork leg to my uncle, two to Prince Wang, and I'll keep one at home, so I can't sell it."

"Then give me five catties." Xie Jiankang said in front of him.

Xie Lang thought he heard it wrong, "Five catties?"

"Yes! Keep two catties for food, and send three catties to the city." Xie Jiankang's family has four pigs, and recently they are worrying about whether to take them to the city to sell, or kill relatives and friends to share them.When Xie Lang said this, Xie Jiankang decisively decided to sell, "How do you make that pork?"

Xie Lang: "I'll tell you." He explained the method in front of everyone, and asked Qianli Zheng Xie Jiankang to go home and get the scale.

Xie Jiankang brought over the scales, except for Xiao Qi's two aunts, the pig farmers all cut a few catties of meat from Xie Lang, half of them were cooked for food, and the other half were sent to the city.

When the meat from the pigs was sold out, Xie Lang stewed them in water for his three pigs to eat.

The next day, the villagers went to the city to sell their pork, and Xie Lang drove a donkey cart to the city to buy pork.

When Xie Lang came back, Xie Jianye was chatting with others at the intersection, seeing a piece of pork on his cart, he thought his house was out of meat.Before Xie Lang tied up the donkey, he said, "I still have a lot of meat at home, shall I cut a piece for you?"

Xie Lang shook his head, "No need. I have it at home. I bought it for Brother Hou and the others." Then he told him the price.

Only then did Xie Jianye understand why he sold pork yesterday.

Humans find uncastrated pork fishy, ​​but golden monkeys, white tigers and little wolves prefer meat with a fishy smell.Selling the expensive ones and buying the cheap ones, Xie Jianye couldn't help feeling, "It's still your brain that is flexible."

"It's flexible for multiple uses." Xie Lang smiled, opened the door, pushed the cart in, and took out two large pottery urns.A piece of pork is divided into two and stewed in a clay pot.

As for the three pork legs of his family, Xie Lang picked out the hooves, and left some fat and thin meat for buns and dumplings, and threw the rest into pottery pots to stew for the golden monkey, white tiger and black wolf to eat.

Two pottery urns were stewed in the courtyard, even though the courtyard wall of Xie Lang's house was very high, the aroma would blow outside with the wind.

Seeing that the door was open, Xie Guang couldn't help but said when he came in: "Uncle Sanlang, if you feed it like this, the tiger cub will be able to get its cubs for you to raise."

"No." Xie Lang said.

Xie Guang was curious, "Why are you so sure?"

"The cubs are male tigers. The cubs follow the tigress and don't need her to raise them." Xie Lang said, pointing at the golden monkey and the black wolf, "They are also males."

Xie Guang asked in surprise, "They all belong to the public?"

"Except for the hens in my house, the mosquitoes are all males."

Xie Guang opened his mouth to ask, how do you know.Realizing that he was exaggerating, he couldn't help laughing, "Where's Brother Monkey?"

"Brother Monkey is a foodie, he doesn't like female monkeys." Xie Lang pointed at Hei Lang, "Go back and find a bitch for it."

"Mother, bitch?" Xie Guang couldn't believe it, "A wolf with a dog?"

Xie Lang nodded, "I heard that wolves and dogs belonged to the same family 500 years ago. Little wolf shouldn't mind."

"...It doesn't dare to mind." Xie Guang said, "If you drive the three of them out of the house in a fit of anger, Brother Hou and Huzi can kill it."

Xie Lang imagined the "grand occasion" where the golden monkey and the white tiger took turns beating the black wolf, and couldn't help laughing, "Yes!" Pointing to the pottery urn, "Do you want me to get you a piece?"

"No." Xie Guang shook his head, "Our family eats fish today."

Xie Lang asked softly, "Your father bought it in the city?"

"No. My uncle fished it in the ditch in the north." Xie Guang said, and suddenly remembered that Xie Lang hadn't been there recently, "Does Uncle Sanlang eat? I'll make a bowl for you later."

Xie Lang shook his head, "Xiao Qi wants to eat meat." As he spoke, he suddenly realized something was wrong, "It's already noon, where did Xiao Qi go?"

"That's right. He came out with me. I've been here for a while, why hasn't he come back yet?" Xie Guang recalled, "Are you playing with Xiao Ma and Xiao Zhuang at your elder brother's house?"

"It's possible." Xie Lang turned to the south and shouted, "Xie Xiaoqi, go home for dinner."

"Third Master, Third Master, come and beat the bad guys."

Xie Lang's face changed slightly, "This is Xiaoqi?"

"It's Xiaoqi. I'll go and have a look." Xie Guang ran out after speaking.

Xie Lang followed and paused at the door, "Huzi, little wolf, come here."

Following the sound to the back of the house, Xie Lang smiled.

The schoolbag was thrown on the ground, and the child held a stone in his hand, staring at the woman opposite him.The woman was anxious, when she saw Xie Lang and Xie Guang approaching, she turned around and ran away.

Xie Lang was not sure just now, because Xie Sanlang seldom went to the east of the village, and he was not familiar with the people there, so Xie Lang had his memory, and the people in the east of the village couldn't recognize them all, so he didn't dare to marry him A woman who remarried after three years in silkworm farming.

But the woman's attitude made Xie Lang sure that he was Xiao Qi's mother.

Xie Lang picked up Xiao Qi, snatched the stone from his hand, pointed to the woman and asked, "Don't you know?"

The child shook his head, "Third Master, she said she was my mother. But, but, I said I didn't know her and wanted to ask Third Master, but she forbade me to ask. Third Master, is she the liar you said? ?”

"You don't know her, why didn't you call me?" Xie Lang asked without answering.

Xiao Qi: "I asked Xiao Ma to call you."

"Xiao Ma?" Xie Lang looked around, "Where is Xiao Ma?"

"I'm coming. Xiaoqi!"

Xie Lang turned his head and saw Xie Xiaoma holding a big knife, followed by Xie Dalang, Sun Fang, and Sun Fang's son Sun Xiaozhuang running towards this side, "You, you told him to call your uncle and aunt?"

"I don't have one." Xiao Qi blinked, "Xiao Ma, I told you to call me the third master. Why did you call your father here?"

Xie Xiaoma paused, Xie Dalang reached out and snatched the big knife from his hand, and asked, "What happened?"

"That—" Xie Lang turned his head to look, and was stunned, "She, why did she fall down?"

Xie Guangdao: "When you were talking to Xiao Qi, I told her to stop and she wouldn't listen. I told Brother Hou to come on, and Brother Monkey slapped her on the ground." Look at Xiao Qi, then at Xie Lang, no Asked with certainty, "Can't shoot?"

"This, this is not a question of whether or not it can be done." After all, the other party is Xiao Qi's biological mother.Xiaoqi now feels that she has bad intentions and treats her as a bad person.When I grow up, I see that other people have mothers. Thinking of today's scene, I will definitely blame myself.Xie Lang couldn't explain why Xiaoqi was young, so he simply said, "Brother Hou is very strong, I was worried that Brother Hou would slap her to death. When Captain Ting comes over, we are covered in mouths and we can't explain clearly."

Xiao Qi raised her small hand and patted Xie Lang's shoulder, "Third Master is not afraid, not afraid. Let's go find Grandpa Zhongqing and Grandpa Meng Da."
