farming in ancient times
Chapter 26
County magistrate Bai left in a leisurely manner, Xiao Er hurriedly followed, Bai Fu swayed at the back with a bamboo basket on his back, leaving the village chief alone in the wind.
When the county magistrate was no longer in sight, the village chief turned around reluctantly, "Da Lang, what's going on?"
"I've only been home for a few days, and I don't know." Wang Dalang is not stupid, he knows that it is disgraceful for Xiao Er to steal a plow from someone else, so he can't tell him, "As soon as the adults come to my house, I will find Xiao Er, and I have to wait for Xiao Er to come back. I just found out."
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Village Chief Wang received another "good" compliment from the county magistrate, "Then I'm going home, and I'll come to your house again when Xiao Er comes back."
"Okay, I'll go find you when Xiao Er comes back."
Seeing that Dalang agreed so simply, Village Chief Wang felt that he might really not know why the county magistrate came here.
When County Magistrate Bai and Xiaoer arrived at West Market, Fang Zheng, who had not waited for the magistrate to pass by his door, said, "General, I can't go today."
"No, I have to go to Wang's house today." Butcher Gao said.
"General, no matter how much you like to eat the food cooked by Wang Xiaoer, don't be in a hurry for this night." Ren Yuan said helplessly.
"Magistrate Bai went to Xiao Er's house early in the morning. The sun is almost setting and he hasn't returned yet. Something must have happened to the Wang family." Butcher Gao said with certainty.
"That's right." Fangzheng has been to Wang's Village and knows the name of Wang Zhao's family. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Wang Zhao's family. "General, I will take you there with Ren Yuan."
"No, it will be dark when you come back." Butcher Gao flatly refused.
"General, you don't want to carry rice noodles to Wang's house, do you?" Before he could speak, Fang Zheng said, "I'll hire a car, let's go now." Not allowing Butcher Gao to speak, Fang Zheng ran out.
Sitting on the carriage, Butcher Gao was very awkward, "I would have ridden a horse if I knew about it."
"General, you can't ride a horse anymore." Ren Yuan hurriedly said, "When no one knew you earlier, you could go out on a horse and go for a walk. Now everyone in Guanjiang Town knows you. If your aunt Knowing that you have a big horse, it's time to make a fuss later."
"I'll just say that, let's see how much you talk." After being dismissed by his subordinates again, the bored butcher got into the carriage.
At the same time, Xiao Er came out with the county magistrate after explaining how the blacksmith worked the plow and shovel.When accompanying the county magistrate to the gate of the county government office, Xiao Er said, "My lord, it's time for me to go home."
"Aren't you going to go in and have a rest?" Magistrate Bai invited.
"No." Xiao Er shook his head very simply, but he didn't turn around and leave.
He didn't go in without leaving the county magistrate, and waited until Xiao Er had finished his chatter before saying, "My lord, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"What's the matter, just tell me." He guessed that Xiao Er still had something to do.
"That's right, I don't think it's too much trouble to get a pair of plows, but the plow shovel costs some money. If several families put together to buy a plow shovel, then there should be no wasteland in our town."
"Wait a minute, Xiaoer, why didn't I understand what you mean?" Magistrate Bai looked at him suspiciously.
"Actually, I just want to say, when I make the plow, you can let Bai Fu learn from me, and then let Bai Fu teach the neighbors how to make the plow."
"Ah? I can't do it!" Bai Fu shook his head anxiously.
"Give me something to do!" County magistrate Bai raised his hand and slapped him, but his heart was overwhelmed. The curved plow was figured out by Xiao Er after several years of pondering. Folks, County Magistrate Bai sighed in addition to sighing.
A general is a general, and the friends he makes are extraordinary.
"Xiao Er, why don't you teach yourself?" County Magistrate Bai asked.
"I'm afraid that my grandparents will make trouble for me. Not only can I not teach, but I have to say that the curved plow was made by adults for a try." Xiaoer said with a bitter face.
"Then have you ever thought that if everyone knows how to make a plow, the plow-making shop in the town will be closed."
"No." Xiao Er hurriedly said, "The plow shafts and plow tips have to be made by carpenters, and their business will be better than now." He didn't think about this.
"Okay! Just do as you said." The county magistrate laughed, thankful that he had listened to the general's words and went to Wang's house in person.
"Master, what are you laughing at?" Seeing that Xiaoer had gone far away and his master was still standing at the door, Bai Fu couldn't figure it out.
"Stupid boy, turn around and learn from Xiao Er carefully, and I will write the notebook right away."
"Why did you write the notes?" Bai Fu knew that the master would only pass notes to the higher-ups when he encountered a big problem, but the county government has nothing to do recently.
"Oh, to say you're stupid is really a shame. Xiaoer made such a good plow, of course, we should make it available to all the rich people." Don't look at it as an ugly plow, This is a good thing that benefits oneself and the people.
The county magistrate took a deep breath, looked at the particularly beautiful sunset, and the smile on his face widened again, as if he had seen the rewards from above and the harvest in autumn.
At this moment, Fang Zheng said, "General, we are here."
Butcher Gao got out all of a sudden, looked at the barren scene in front of him, "Not yet."
"General, we can't enter the village with this carriage. Wang Xiaoer's house is at the east end of the village. If we want to drive to Wang's house, we have to pass the wide road in the middle of the village. When we turn around, we should attract Mrs. Wang and Zhao." .”
"That's fine. Get the things down, you guys go." Gao Butcher waved his hand and said.
"General, these rice noodles are a bit heavy. I'll carry them for you. Let's go across the mountain and leave Ren Yuan to watch the car." He picked up the flour as he spoke.
Butcher Gao left as soon as he saw him lift his foot, so he could only follow with the rice and pork.
"Fangzheng, walk slowly. Let me ask you, why did I tell Xiao Er when I got to Wang's house?" He and Xiao Er had only met twice before they were going to live in other people's house. Butcher Gao thought about this unreliable I just want to kick Fangzheng twice.
"General, I'll take care of this matter." Fangzheng said vowedly, but he didn't have a clue in his heart.
However, out of the corner of the eye, he saw a large piece of pork in the general's hand, just for this meat, that cheapskate Wang Xiaoer would also welcome his general.
While talking, the two saw Wang's house.Fangzheng came up with the idea, but Butcher Gao kicked him to knock on the door.
As soon as the door opened, Fangzheng said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, is Xiao Er at home?"
"Who are you?" Wang Han asked without answering.
"You don't remember, this is Butcher Gao." Fangzheng was slightly surprised.
"Huh? Butcher Gao?" As he spoke, he took a few steps back to let him in. Seeing the neighbors on the left and right looking at him, Wang Han hurriedly closed the door, "Why is Butcher Gao here at this time? Xiao Er has gone to town."
"What a coincidence!" Fangzheng's heart skipped a beat, and he saw the general's face change, so he hurriedly asked for him, "What is Xiao Er doing in town?"
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Butcher Gao." Wang Han said with a smile, "Xiaoer said his plow could be fixed quickly, and Butcher Gao helped him a lot." Then he asked the county magistrate to Xiaoer Tell the two of them about the second plow, "My lord said that I would reward Xiaoer with a calf. Hey, our family doesn't know how to thank you."
"Hey, I didn't do anything." Butcher Gao shook his head in embarrassment. He fed the chickens and ducks and cleaned the pigsty, and then went to the magistrate Bai's house to say a few words.
"You can't say that, we were thinking about getting Xiaoer to thank you, but you're here, what a coincidence!" Wang Hanshi said happily when she thought that there was going to be a cow at home, "Don't stand still!" Let’s all sit down.” Then he ran to the backyard and called Da Lang and Xiao Shan to come out to entertain the guests.
"General, don't say anything later, look at me." Fang Zheng looked at Wang Hanshi's back thoughtfully.
"What are you going to do? You can't mess around?"
"Don't worry, I'm much more reliable than you." As soon as his words fell, Wang Dalang came out.
Da Lang and Xiao Shan expressed their gratitude to Butcher Gao again, and Butcher Gao was ashamed to thank him, so Fang Zheng said, "Brother Wang, we came here today to ask you something."
"If you don't want anything, just say it." Wang Dalang said boldly.
"Actually, you should know that Big Brother Gao has a bad name..."
"Hey, it's all those old women who are full and full of food and have nothing to do, so they spread the word." Wang Dalang gave Butcher Gao a sympathetic look, "Brother, don't worry about those people, the more you care about it, the more they say more powerful."
"Brother Wang, if everyone thought like you, we wouldn't have to come here today." Fangzheng sighed uncomfortably as he spoke.
"What's the matter?" Wang Dalang is a real man. When Xiao Er said that he made the plow himself, Da Lang pinched him to remind his younger brother that the plow was owned by Butcher Gao, and the county magistrate was also found by Butcher Gao. Don't be ashamed to take all the good things on yourself, "If I can help you, just tell me!"
"It's like this. Brother Gao's aunt goes to our pork stall every three days. The elder brother ignores her, and she rolls around. Then she goes home and calls for Brother Gao's father. Now, as soon as Brother Gao comes out, The neighbors in the town pointed at Brother Gao. We really had no choice but to ask Xiaoer to take Brother Gao in for a while. .” What Fangzheng said was seven points true and three points false.
Three of them said that Butcher Gao thought he was pretty good in the town, not as pitiful as Fang Zheng said.
"That's it?" Da Lang stared.
"Yes, Brother Wang, do you think so?" Either the general wanted to stay in his hometown, or the general was tired of dealing with the officials in the capital who went to the general's mansion every day, or he was afraid that the general would turn around and have too many contacts with those officials, causing him The emperor suspected that he and Ren Yuan knocked the general unconscious while he was asleep, and tied him back to the capital.
Why bother to stay in this poor place, to "beg" a farmer in order to let the general have a few more friends, so that he can have fun while the general is recalled by the emperor.
"Look at what you said so powerfully, I take it for nothing." Da Lang smiled heartily, "Gao Butcher, you can stay as long as you want!"
"Yes!" Wang Hanshi heard Xiao Er said that Butcher Gao knew everything, "Xiao Shan, from now on you will sleep with your second brother, and leave your bed to Butcher Gao."
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to pack it now." Knowing that Butcher Gao had helped his family a lot, Xiao Shan had a special admiration for him. With a silly smile, he snatched the big burden from Fang Zheng's hand, and carried it to the east wing.
Fangzheng never dreamed of Nie Shunli, and when he saw the simple and honest Wang Dalang and Wang Hanshi, he immediately felt a little bit of a villain. "Brother Wang, Brother Gao, I will be counting on you for the time being."
"Brother, don't worry, he will eat whatever we eat!" After a while, "Why are you still getting some food and meat, take them back quickly."
"Brother Wang, if you say that, Brother Gao wouldn't dare to live in your house." Fangzheng knew that Wang Dalang was not in charge of the house, and the key was Wang Xiaoer's nod despite the fact that the couple were so easy-going.
But Butcher Gao saw that the sun was gone, so he rushed Fang Zheng back.
Fangzheng thought for a while, and came back to see the general in a few days. If he felt uncomfortable living in Wang's house, he would just pick the general back.
When the county magistrate was no longer in sight, the village chief turned around reluctantly, "Da Lang, what's going on?"
"I've only been home for a few days, and I don't know." Wang Dalang is not stupid, he knows that it is disgraceful for Xiao Er to steal a plow from someone else, so he can't tell him, "As soon as the adults come to my house, I will find Xiao Er, and I have to wait for Xiao Er to come back.

"No, I have to go to Wang's house today." Butcher Gao said.
