I am old in the Han Dynasty

Wei Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Okay. I'll help you light the fire." See how you will deal with His Majesty later.

Xie Lang didn't think about dealing with Liu Che, because he didn't force Liu Che to eat.Why did Liu Che not allow him to eat.

Go outside to shake off the water in the locusts, wipe them with a clean sackcloth and put them on the stove, and then clean up the locusts prepared for Brother Hou, Huzi and Xiaolang.

There was no need to cut the wings for the three of them to eat, Xie Lang washed it twice, poured the locusts into a clean basket to control the water, and went to the kitchen.

"The oil in the pot is hot." Wei Qing said.

Xie Lang put his hand over the oil, "It needs to be burned for a while."

"Just try it that way?" Wei Qing, who had never cooked before, asked curiously.

Xie Lang nodded, "I didn't know before. I forced myself to write it down when I came here." After all, you have to do everything yourself.Xie Lang suddenly realized something was wrong, the main room was abnormally quiet, "He fell asleep again?"

Who did Wei Qing want to ask, "Your Majesty?"

Xie Lang nodded.

"It's possible." Wei Qing said.

Xie Lang: "Let him sleep?"

"Go to sleep. Your Majesty is quite tired these days." Wei Qing said.

Adding locust plagues after abolishment will make the mind and body tired.

Xie Lang nodded to show he knew, and asked Wei Qing to go outside.

The locusts poured into the oil pan, and with a scoff, Xie Lang ran out.

Wei Qing was startled, "What's wrong?"

"I'm worried that the oil will splash on my face." Xie Lang said.

Wei Qing looked at the thick smoke billowing in the kitchen and heard the crackling sound, and couldn't help saying, "This is too scary. Don't do it in the future."

"It doesn't matter if there is no water." Xie Lang shook the bamboo basket in his hand, "I'm worried that there is water in it. Oil will explode when it meets water."

Wei Qing: "How long will it take to fry?"

Xie Lang took out a five-foot-long bamboo spatula specially made for frying, and stirred the locusts in the pot, "It will take a while."

Wei Qing smiled, "You don't know how to cook, but you have a lot to prepare."

Xie Lang: "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools."

"There is no reason for you."

Xie Lang turned his head and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty didn't sleep?"

"You guys are washing and frying, how can I sleep well." Liu Che said and glared at Wei Qing and Xie Lang.

Wei Qing didn't say anything.Xie Lang glanced at him, why didn't he say that he was full of sleep before dinner.

"Do you want to eat, Your Majesty?" Xie Lang handed Wei Qing a long spatula, and took out a long colander from the cabinet.

Liu Che really convinced him, "It's hard for you to go out of your way to eat." After a pause, "I don't want to eat!"

Xie Lang shook his head, and said regretfully, "Durian is the queen of fruits, but you can't even eat a bite. This food is more delicious than meat, and you still look like you are not sensitive to thanks. What a shame." Glancing at Liu Che, " Can you eat the elixir?"

Liu Che pretended not to hear, turned to look at Xiaoqi, "Do you still have stinky durians at home?"

"No. There are mangosteens."

"Little Seven!"

Liu Che glared at Xie Lang, "Shut up! Where is the mangosteen? Is it in the cabinet." Before the child could speak, he opened the cabinet, and on the upper floor were wheat noodles, millet noodles, and bowls and bowls.The bottom layer is full of fruit.

There was a dish of peaches, a dish of grapes, a bowl of figs, and a pot of purple things.Liu Che hadn't seen it before, so it must be mangosteen, so he brought it out immediately, "Is it this? Xiaoqi."

Xiao Qi couldn't help but glance at Xie Lang.

"Your third master is not angry. He dare not hit you when he is angry." Liu Che held his arm, "Go out and tell me how to eat."

The child didn't move, but stared at Xie Lang with wide eyes.

"I'm not angry, let's go." Xie Lang said, "But I have to remind you, your grandpa Meng Da ate it up, and you won't have anything to eat for five days."

The child opened his mouth wide, "Five days?"

"You eat other things these five days. Your grapes are ripe, eat grapes." Liu Che said, looking south.

The child didn't want to eat grapes, he liked mangosteen, "But, this is delicious." He pointed to the mangosteen in Liu Che's other hand.

"Then I'll leave some for you." Liu Che said, "Is this okay?"

Xiao Qi pointed at Xie Lang, "And my third master."

"Okay, okay, your third master. Let's go." Liu Che glanced at the main room.

The child went to the main room and took out Xie Lang's small dagger, pointed at the mangosteen stem, "Open it from here."

"Don't be so troublesome." Liu Che pressed the shell and opened it with bare hands, his hands were all purple, "This is it?"

The child sighed, "People have already said it. You still don't believe it." Glancing at Liu Che, he said helplessly, "My third master said it. The third master never lied to me."

Liu Che thought to himself, it's because you don't understand anything.

"I know now." Liu Che took out a piece of paper to wipe his hands, "Eat something white?"

The child nodded, "There are nuclei in it, you have to spit it out." He took out a plate from under the case, "Put it here."

Liu Che stretched out his hand to take it, and the cold touch went straight to the center of his brow, "Xie Sanlang, you prodigal son!"

"What's the matter?" Xie Lang frowned, "Zhongqing, go and have a look."

Wei Qing didn't move, "You must be making things with some rare wood again."

"No." Xie Lang fished out the locusts, "It's not delicious when it's hot now. I'll eat it later."

Wei Qing brought in the locusts from outside, "Pour it in directly?"

"Wait." Xie Lang wiped the water underneath with a clean sackcloth, and told Wei Qing to go out.He poured all the locusts in, covered the pot, and fled the scene quickly.

After a while, the crackling sound became quieter, and Xie Lang took out a long clamp from the cabinet, and clamped the lid of the pot.

The eight guards who had nothing to do and stood at the door watching couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Xie, how many things have you prepared?" It was a long spatula and a long-handled spoon. "When you are free, do you make these things at home?"

Xie Lang nodded: "You're really right." He lifted the lid of the pot, gave the tongs to Wei Qing, took the spatula from his hand, and stirred it hard a few times, the crackling sound came again, and Xie Lang stopped stirring.No more, stir again.After doing this four times, the water in the pot ran out, and Xie Lang dared to go in.

The ones for those three don't need to be deep-fried, they are almost cooked, Xie Lang fished out the locusts.Then he scooped out the oil and asked Wei Qing to carry it to the ironware room with him.

"You don't want these oils anymore?" Wei Qing asked curiously.

Xie Lang: "Save it for those three to cook."

The locusts that were first fried were not very hot at this time.Xie Lang divided the pot of locusts into two, gave one to the eight guards, and carried the other to the living room.

"What happened?" Xie Lang put down the plate and asked.

Liu Che pointed to Sheng Shan's bamboo core, "Zhongqing, do you know me?"

Wei Qing sat down to see clearly, and turned to Xie Lang in disbelief, "Lantian Meiyu? You actually use this thing to hold stolen goods? Sanlang, you—"

"Stop." Xie Lang quickly raised his hand, "This is really unfair."

Liu Che put down the mangosteen, wiped his hands, and stared at him, "Did I wrong you?"

"Xiao Qi, where do you think this thing came from?" Xie Lang turned to the child.

The child didn't even think about it, "I bought it in the city."

"Bought it in the city?" Liu Che frowned, "Is it exchanged for the gold I rewarded you?"

Xie Lang shook his head, "It was originally a stone. The peddler said there was jade in it, and he would never have sold it if he hadn't been able to open the pot at home. I saw that he had a child as old as Xiaoqi, so I took it I gave him all the money I had on me. I was going to bring in a stepping stone—”

"Stepping stone?" Liu Che exclaimed, he really dared to think.

Xie Lang quickly said: "The grass people thought it was a stone. Later, when I was taking Xiaoqi to buy things, I saw a jade store and asked someone to help me untie it, but who knew it was full of jade."

"You... are you really not a god who has gone down to earth?"

Xie Lang raised his hand and handed the locust over, "The immortal asked His Majesty to eat this. Will His Majesty eat it? If you don't eat the immortal, you will be angry."

"Take it far away." Liu Che hurriedly turned his face away, and when he took another look, he got goosebumps again.

Xie Lang laughed, "It's not a fairy anymore. Your Majesty, you are very interesting. When you need a fairy, you are a fairy, and when you don't need a fairy, you are not. There are really gods in the world, and your majesty has repeatedly said The attitude ran away."

"You don't need to provoke me, it's useless." Liu Che stared at him and said.

Xie Lang squeezed one and put it in Xiao Qi's mouth, "Crispy?"

Xiao Qi nodded.

"Is it fragrant?" Xie Lang asked.

Xiao Qi nodded vigorously.

"Crispy?" Xie Lang asked with a smile.

Xiao Qi stretched out her hand, "Third Master, I want more." He licked the corner of his mouth, "Give me two."

Liu Che swallowed.

Seeing his throat move, Xie Lang picked up a little bit and put it in Xiao Qi's hands, then wrapped a little bit in front of Liu Che with a bamboo clip, and put it in front of Wei Qing, "Eat a little bit first. If there is no problem, eat again."

"Zhongqing, what else is there besides this?" Liu Che asked.

Wei Qing pointed at the locust, "Only this one. Your Majesty, try one?"

"Don't eat." Liu Che was very firm, "Xie Sanlang, I'm hungry."

Xie Lang laughed angrily, "There is still a little food left in a pot of mangosteen. Your Majesty's stomach is a bottomless pit?"

Liu Che's face froze slightly, "Don't do it? Then prepare a box of mangosteen, a box of crab and a box of abalone for me. I will take them away."

"Your Majesty seems to have come here on horseback." Xie Lang reminded him, "There is no box in the Caomin's house. I guess other people in the village don't have baskets either." They were all used to hold the locusts.

Liu Che pointed at him, "Isn't it? Tomorrow, I'll take a bath and I'll come back."

"Your Majesty can come every day if you like." Xie Lang said with a smile, "If you drive over tomorrow, please ask Your Majesty to buy a piece of pork for the grassroots."

Liu Che: "Who do you think I am?"

"Master of the world." Xie Lang turned to Wei Qing and said seriously, "Your Majesty won't buy it, so you can buy me a piece of pork. Cooking fish is too troublesome. You have to pull out the spines when it's done."

Wei Qing: "Why don't they go up the mountain to hunt?"

"It's hot, I don't want to go up the mountain." Xie Lang said, "I won't go, and neither will they. I'll take them there when it's cooler in a few days."

Wei Qing looked at Liu Che, "Wei Chen is coming tomorrow?"

Liu Che glanced at Xie Lang.

Xie Lang immediately handed the locust over, "Do you want this?"

Liu Che glared at him, then turned to Wei Qing again, "Have you eaten yet? Go back when you're done."

Wei Qing immediately put down the chopsticks.

"Grassman, go pick up some sweet potatoes for Wei Qing." Xie Lang continued without waiting for Liu Che to open his mouth, "Let's see how big they are. They're all grown up, and they'll be picked up in two days. Do you want it, Your Majesty? Don't cut it into pieces and dry it out , and keep it for the livestock.”

When it came to business, Liu Che restrained his anger, "Take it up and tell Zhongqing, I'll order someone to come. There are also people from your village."

"Would you like some from Cao Min's relatives?"

Liu Che: "Do you have relatives?"

"Aren't they all broken?" Wei Qing was more surprised than Liu Che.

Xie Lang: "My father's aunt and Xiaoqi's aunt. There are seven or eight acres of planting. Cotton is like two or three acres."

"Ask them to bring it over," Liu Che said.

Xie Lang: "Ten pennies for a fresh sweet potato?"

Liu Che nodded.

"Does Your Majesty plan to send it to the counties or counties, or plant it yourself? If Your Majesty plants it himself, the ones that His Majesty ordered people to plant this year will be enough for seeds." Xie Lang remembered something while talking, "Wait for the grassroots."

I went to the ironware room to find a plane for peeling sweet potatoes, took a bench, and went to the main room Xie Lang and said to Liu Che, "Put this thing on the wooden stool, and a person sitting on the stool can peel the sweet potatoes one by one into pieces. It's gone."

"You said you cut it into slices last year, but didn't you cut it with a knife?" Liu Che looked at the things in his hand in surprise.

Xie Lang: "That has to be cut to the Year of the Monkey."

"Then cut it into slices and give it to me." Liu Che worried that no one would cut the sweet potato for Xie Lang, so he wanted fresh sweet potato.Now that he has such a simple thing, he said, "Help me make two more of these things."

Xie Lang handed it to him directly, "Take it. Ask Zhongqing to bring it back to Caomin in a few days."

Liu Che glanced at him and winked at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing wiped his hands and took the thing for slicing sweet potatoes, "Give me the thing for picking cotton and cotton seeds too."

Xie Lang didn't grow cotton this year, and if he didn't give it to Wei Qing, he would have been borrowed if he left it at home.So Xie Lang responded, found those two items, found a hemp rope, tied the three items together, and sent Liu Che and his party away.

In the morning of the next day, Wei Qing drove over in a carriage and gave Xie Lang a piece of pork.Xie Lang gave him a bag of sweet potatoes, a basket of crabs, a basket of abalone and a basket of mangosteen.

Wei Qing saw that the bamboo basket seemed new, "We made it yesterday?"

"I bought it from people in the village." Xie Lang said, "It costs one penny, and I will ask His Majesty to pay me back when I go back."

Wei Qing smiled and said, "Okay."

"Wait, didn't you feel uncomfortable when you went back yesterday?" Xie Lang asked.

Wei Qing nodded, "I'm fine."

"Then you have good luck. Your Majesty doesn't have good luck." Xie Lang said, "There are still some in the field, come here tomorrow and let me know in advance, I will catch some more."

Wei Qing shook his head, "Don't be so busy. The sweet potatoes are home, and the soybeans should be harvested. Take a rest when you have time. I'm leaving."

"Okay." Xie Lang helped him carry his things into the cart, and when he was far away, he would lead the ox and carry the plow to the ground.

Xie Jianye couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"

"Plow the field." Xie Lang said.

Xie Jianye: "The beans and sweet potatoes were confiscated, where did you plow?"

Xie Lang raised his finger and pointed to the two rows of sweet potatoes that he had cut off the sweet potato vines, "There."

"You, you use a plow to chop sweet potatoes?" Xie Jianye asked in disbelief.

Xie Lang nodded.

"Are you crazy?"

Xie Lang shook his head, "It's not crazy. Cook the bad ones and feed them to the pigs." After saying that, he continued to go into the field.

Xie Jianye hurried to catch up, "No way!"

"You help me collect it?" Xie Lang asked back, "Your family still has five or six acres. Besides, the prince will come to pull it in a few days, what should I give him?"

This question stopped Xie Jianye.

"Can't it be a few days later?"

Xie Lang: "He wants to do it, and he has to dry it thoroughly. Otherwise, it will rain and mold, he doesn't blame me, and I feel sorry for myself."

"Then, then I'll lead the cow for you, and you can try it slowly." Xie Jianye took a step back, "If it doesn't work, use a hoe."

Xie Lang nodded, set up the plow in the field and said, "It will be damaged even if you dig it with a hoe."

"Less. You have so many." Xie Jianye arrived.

Xie Lang didn't know how to use a plow. After several years of planting, practice makes perfect. First, he used a hoe to dig it out to see how deep the deepest ones were. According to that plow, after two trips, only a dozen or so were damaged.

Xie Jianye didn't believe it, so he asked Xie Lang to let the ox and the plow go home, and he called Yao Guizhi to help him harvest the sweet potatoes.

Having nothing to do, the locust catchers in the field also ran over to help Xie Lang harvest the sweet potatoes when they heard what Xie Jianye said. The purpose was naturally to see if there were any bad ones.

The two ridges of sweet potatoes were all collected, and only half of the bag was damaged. The villagers immediately decided to harvest the sweet potatoes with a plow.

Xie Lang naturally wouldn't say anything.

He is the head of the silkworm farming village, and the villagers had collected the sweet potatoes and sold them to Liu Che earlier. When he had money, when he collected taxes next year, he didn't have to go door-to-door to ask for it, and the villagers would send the money over.

Having said that, Xie Lang said that feeding pigs is bad, but in fact there is no such thing.He had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he cut the sweet potatoes into slices and made them into dried sweet potatoes.

Xie Lang didn't know how to make that stuff, so it took him a long time to make it.And he was worried that it would go bad after a few days, so he took Xiao Qi to the city the next day and delivered a pack to Wei Qing.Then he took Xiaoqi to buy pork.

"Hey, you are the third son Xie."

Xie Lang stopped suddenly, turned his head to look, no one was there, so he continued walking with the cart.

"Here, here."

Xie Lang followed the sound and saw a person standing at the door of the tavern on the right, unkempt, with some wounds or scratches on his face, "Who are you?"

"You don't remember me? I'm Dongfang Shuo."
