Wuzhou Raiders Chapter 13 Datang Edition Lamborghini
On August 14th, the second year of Yonghui, Wu Kang chased Huang Xiangu with a single horse, and was pitted by a little mare under his crotch. He was also pulled out of the cliff by it, and was injured. Overall, he returned home in a desperate situation.
The little mare was walking leisurely on the official road, and Wu Kang was holding a pot of wine in his hand and was simply cleaning the wounds on his body. The wine was bought by a wine shop. It was the strongest soju, and it was only about twenty degrees, and it could not reach the concentration of medical alcohol at all.
Wu Kang secretly decided that the alcohol must be distilled out and stored as much as possible in case of emergency needs. He didn't know whether the distillation equipment was designed, and whether Mr. Zhao had built it in the alley.
After cleaning the wounds, the rest of the temples were worshipped in the Five Insects. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty did not drive after drinking. In fact, what interested him was not wine, but leather pots containing wine, sewn with a whole piece of sheepskin. Qiao Feng and Qiao Daxia's wine pots were hung on their waists, which showed a bit of chivalrous style.
I looked at the sun hanging in the southwest. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the Wuzhou city gate was closed at 6 o'clock. There was less than twenty miles left, so there was no need to worry. I felt it was a bit slow, so I gently squeezed the horse's belly, but unfortunately the little mare didn't want to hang the gear and was still walking slowly.
In desperation, I looked at the two sides of the road, and there were green rice fields. Countless men, women, young and old tied their clothes and pulled weeds in the water barefoot. It was mid-August, and there was another month of rice ripe, and the real autumn came.
Inadvertently, the rice ears in the fields were obviously much shorter than later generations, and the particles were not full. Paying attention to more than a dozen paddy fields in a row, rice ears were all this virtue. I couldn't help but frown. As children from rural areas, they deal with farmland all year round. The yield of this rice of this kind is at most 200 kilograms per mu.
I remember Ruyan once said that the units of measurement without "stone" in the Tang Dynasty, the commonly used capacity units from small to large, namely sheng, dou, hu, and clock. They are all decimal, one hu, according to later generations, about 60 kilograms. These are still fertile land, with only two hu per mu yields, which is touching to have low yields.
The yield of rice in later generations was almost a thousand or two thousand kilograms, which was a world of difference. No wonder in ancient society, there was starvation everywhere, with low grain yields and poor ability to resist natural disasters. I felt a lot for a while that I didn’t have the ability of Mr. Yuan and could not make hybrid rice; nor did I have the ability of my time traveling seniors, and I could not make fleets and go to America, or high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.
After thinking hard for a long time, I couldn't find a way to increase the yield! In depressed, there was a large wasteland on the right, about ten acres. More than a dozen people waved their sickles to weed, and there were still several piles of blue bricks, mud and sand in the field.
After thinking for a moment, I realized that this was the inferior land given to me by the second generation, which was used to store the feces in Wuzhou City, and the blue bricks were used to build courtyard walls and security rooms. I was very satisfied with the second generation's decisive behavior, and at the same time, I thought of it, it was not an idea.
In the spring of next year, the accumulated manure and guaranteed capital will be sold to nearby farmers. Even if you lose money, as long as you are within the acceptable range, you have to continue the transaction. If the fertilizer in the field is in place, the farmers can make more food and will be hungry for two days less next year.
I returned to Wuzhou without saying a word, rode a horse to the Craftsman Hutong, and saw many strange situations. More than a dozen people were pushing a cart, which was loaded with blue bricks, sand and other building materials. The direction should be to go to their homes. I also understood that this should be the one found by Mr. Xu, and the construction of a kang will start tomorrow.
Follow them to the door, because there were steps in front of the door, the cart could only be parked outside, and craftsmen lined up to manpower to transfer materials little by little. There were also many people in the yard, including two couples of old and young, who caught his attention. The elderly couple were about fifty years old and young couples in their thirties. They were wearing tunics and directing porters, looking like the owner of the house.
Wu Kang looked up at the door lintel and said that his family was right. He was about to get off the horse and ask, but he accidentally glanced at a little girl on the willow tree in the yard. After a closer look, he knew that it was the liar accomplice who was angry at Nancheng Land Temple today.
Wu Kangjue was not good enough. Why did this little girl run away from my house? Why were her hands tied up and tied to a willow tree? In the kitchen east of the doubt, the bad guy Zhou Hao walked out, came to the little lady, and handed her a cooked cake.
The little lady took the cake and swallowed it. Zhou Hao curled his lips and snorted. He turned to Wu Kang outside the door. After a moment of being stunned, he immediately turned around and shouted at the main room at the top of his voice: "My wife, brothers, Wu Shuai is back, come out quickly."
A stone caused a thousand storms, and the yard exploded. Xiao Cui ran out of the main house and ran towards here. Seven or eight bad people followed closely, and the family of four followed, and the neighbors also stopped their work and rushed over.
Everyone bowed to the salute, which made Wu Kang confused on the spot. Xiao Cui saw Wu Kang's embarrassing appearance and saw the red wound, and cried.
Wu Kang was a little bit big and hurt me. Why are you crying? He jumped off the horse's back and handed the reins to Jiang Daniu. He smiled and comforted: "It's all skin injuries, nothing serious. My life is so tough! Ruyan is busy with what's going on? My brother is here. As the hostess, how can she be so negligent?"
When Xiao Cui saw Wu Kang's decision to choose his master, she immediately forgot to cry and was impatient to defend herself: "Your husband has misunderstood! Zheng Dalang, who is a judicial military officer, sent someone to invite his wife to discuss the matter of our ice shop. Not long after, Zheng Dalang sent a few servants, and they were them..."
"What are you still standing there? Hurry up and greet your husband?" Xiao Cui pinched her waist and scolded the two couples. The four of them saluted quickly, with three young people following behind them. They should be the third generation of their family, two teenagers in their fifteens and a young lady in their ten years old.
After they finished seeing the gift, Xiao Cui chattered and said, "They were all sent by Zheng Dalang, and they were still a family. They have been practicing medicine for generations. They have been demoted to slaves because of the lawsuit... Oh! You are all doctors, hurry up and see your husband's injuries!"
"No, no hurry, no hurry, my injury is not urgent." Wu Kang stopped Xiao Cui, imitated Uncle Liu Huang, who sold good books, and threw A Dou and captured Zhao Yunzhongxin.
He silently recited the actor's self-cultivation and looked at Jiang Daniu and said, "All the injured brothers have been arranged. Did Zheng Chanjun arrange a doctor? If you don't go to find him quickly, I will put the medical fee and medicine fee on my coach. I can't let the brothers bleed and cry again!"
Not to mention, the effect is great! The bad people's eyes were red, and Jiang Daniu clasped his fists and choked and said, "It is a blessing for brothers to follow Wu Shuai. Please rest assured Wu Shuai. Zheng Zongjun has already arranged it and the pension will come down soon."
Wu Kang nodded with satisfaction, looked through the crowd, and asked Jiang Daniu, the little lady tied to the tree: "What's going on with her? Why did she bring her to my house? Zheng Chanjun and Cui Gong have interrogated the case, how did they deal with it?"
Jiang Daniu replied: "Mr. Zheng and Mr. Cui have asked about it, and the case has been sentenced, and they have been decided to be a liar who pretends to be a god. The four men resisted stubbornly and were killed on the spot by their brothers. She was supposed to be punished with 60 slaughter and was in prison for three years. Mr. Cui was young and ignorant, so he was exempted from the punishment of the stick. The young lady could not be locked in a cell, so Mr. Cui demoted her to a slave and sent her to you."
The little lady can't be locked up in a cell? Wu Kang was quite puzzled. Jiang Daniu came over and lowered his voice and said, "Wu Shuai Rong, if a woman is locked up in prison, it is no different from chopping their heads! The prisoners and beasts in prison are worse than those in prison. This little lady is only nine years old. If she locked up, she doesn't know what she would be ruined!"
Wu Kang immediately realized that there were no juvenile prisons, no women's prisons, and no female prisoners in the Tang Dynasty. If this girl was imprisoned, she would be unable to survive or die. She looked at the girl tied to the tree and told Zhou Hao, "Go and let her go, the little girl can't make any noise, and I will not abuse my servants."
Zhou Hao acted as he said, and Wu Kang asked the neighbors to do their best to not delay the fire pit construction period. When they continued to be busy, they handed the reins to Xu Sanjiao and ordered: "This horse belongs to Gong Gong's family. I forced him to borrow it to chase Huang Xiangu, but unfortunately she let her escape... Sanlang helped me to go to Cui Mansion and return the horse to Zhao. If you see Gong Gong or Cui Wu, tell them that I will come to the door to apologize tomorrow!"
Xu Sanjiao responded, holding the reins and was about to leave. Wu Kang asked him to wait a moment, and looked at Xiao Cui and told him: "Brothers are rare to come here, go buy more wine and vegetables... Brothers don't leave, stay for dinner. Sanlang goes and go back quickly, send the horse to Cui's mansion, and come directly to the house for wine!"
The bad people were immediately happy and nodded with a smile. They knew Wu Kang's temper and did not say polite words that were not painful or itchy.
Xiao Cui interrupted, "Report to Langjun, Mr. Zhao, and Zhao Dalang have come and brought your customized tables and chairs. There is another strange thing that has been placed in the east wing. Langjun, do you want to go and have a look?"
Wu Kang nodded repeatedly, invited everyone to walk into the yard, and rushed straight to the east wing. Seeing the set of machines, he was immediately overjoyed. It was the simple version of the still. Mr. Zhao built it according to the drawings and installed it himself.
After a closer inspection, I felt that there was no problem. I immediately laughed and said, "Brother Zhao is skilled in craftsmanship and is worthy of being the best carpenter in Wuzhou. Xiao Cui took more money and asked the diner to send ten jars of wine directly. If medical alcohol is distilled out, my injury will be solved!"
Everyone was confused when they heard it. Xiao Cui heard the "resolved" and was rare to be generous and took people to buy wine directly. The bad guy knew about Wu Kang's problem and always came up with incredible words, and he was used to being numb.
Zhou Hao heard the wine's eyes shining, swallowed his saliva and said with a slight smile: "Is this thing brewing wine? Wu Shuai, can you still brew wine?"
Wu Kang smiled without saying a word, called everyone to leave and came to the living room of the main room. The young woman and the little liar came over to serve tea and water to everyone.
Everyone started drinking tea and chatting, and the topics were all about the situation in the Land Temple. Jiang Daniu lowered his voice and said, "The onlookers ran around at that time. We brought all the copper coins to the Weili, and there were more than 5,300 literary works. What do you think of Wushuo?"
The needle fell in the room instantly, so people looked eager. Wu Kang thought about it for a moment and laughed: "I once said that I would give it to them equally, but they all escaped, which means that I gave up voluntarily. Just teach them a lesson. I took out three thousand documents and gave it to Zheng Chanjun, and the rest..."
After pondering for a while, he continued: "Leave a thousand as our activity fund, and each of the brothers will be divided into thirty. The remaining more than 400 texts will be given to the injured brothers as their pension!"
Everyone was happy when they heard this, and their old faces laughed out loud. After a while, Zhou Hao reacted and frowned and said, "Shishou Wu is not good. We all distributed the money. Where is your share? You can't forget yourself!"
Now everyone came to their senses and echoed, saying that Wu Shuai must also be divided. Wu Kang laughed and said, "Don't argue, I have money in my hands and don't look down on those dozens of papers. Change the next topic and tell you about the process of chasing the witch... It's so uncomfortable! This handsome man is incompetent, so let the woman run away!"
Wu Kang gritted his teeth in hatred and told him all the way. After hearing this, everyone comforted him, saying that he was not a war and put the blame on the little mare. Everyone continued to chat, and soon the topic was brought to the wine again. These goods were all greedy for alcohol, and the atmosphere became warm for a moment.
As a top student at the Bianliang Drinking Talent Training Base, Wu Kang has a good understanding of wine. The training base has excellent professional courses and adheres to a teaching method that combines theory and practice. There is nothing to say about practice. You can soak it in a wine jar all day and drink it all the time.
Theories are the history of popular wine, such as the anecdotes of famous people who love alcohol, the exhibition history of wine, how to distille, and preparing fine wine, etc. They also teach simple distiller methods, and use sorghum winemaking as an example to explain the brewing methods of various wines.
Influenced by Master Mo's "Red Sorghum", Wu Kang thoroughly studied sorghum wine. When he came back from outside the city, he also saw sparse sorghum on the roadside, but he did not see a large area of sorghum field. It is said that sorghum has a history of more than 5,000 years and is one of the earliest grain crops cultivated by his ancestors. However, his grandmother did not love them and his uncle did not love them. It was not until the Yuan and Ming dynasties that he was valued.
You can probably think of the reason. The yield of this thing is not high, and it seems to be not as high as wheat. Secondly, as grain, the taste is quite bad and it hurts the throat when eaten. Even in later generations, sorghum was not eaten, but used to make wine. Wu Kang thought about it and made sorghum wine, bewitched farmers to plant sorghum in poor fields, and turn it into a cash crop.
As we were chatting, we heard a loud voice in the yard, as if it was Xu Sanjiao. Everyone looked at each other, Wu Kang quickly stood up, and the bad people followed closely behind. Walking out of the main house, he saw Lao Xu with a blush on his face.
He was still holding the horse, grinning with a big mouth. Wu Kang was very confused and asked, "Why are you so excited? Is your sister-in-law giving birth? Didn't you ask you to go to Cui's house to send the horse? Why are you holding it back?"
"What kind of child do you give birth? That's not good-for-nothing," Xu Sanjiao smiled and stroked the mare's mane and said, "I went to Cui Gong's mansion to deliver the horse. After waiting outside the door for half a quarter of an hour, Butler Cui rushed out angrily and scolded me. After scolding, he told me to get out, hehe..."
Everyone was confused. What's wrong with this person? He was so happy to be scolded! Wu Kang was also happy and curled his lips and said, "Sanlang, you are heartless, why are you scolded? If Mr. Cui is angry, he should be attacked by me. What's going on?"
Xu Sanjiao giggled and said, "It was Mrs. Cui who was angry. She called Wu Shuai a leper... a toad, and said that Wu Shuai defiled the BMW. She thought it was dirty. This is a horse. If I were given one, I would rather be scolded to death by her!"
After a sound of swallowing, everyone was stunned and Wu Kang was also stunned. This is a horse, a Mongolian horse that can still be used as a war horse. The scam "fake horse cheats jade" was that horse that could be sold for twenty cents. Although this horse was not a war horse, it would cost at least forty cents. It was equivalent to the Lamborghini of later generations, and Miss Cui was really rich!
Speaking of the word "天", Li Bai was the number one in the Tang Dynasty. He was a furious horse and a fur. He was about to change his wine and exchanged Lamborghini for wine. He couldn't accept it! However, the word "defiled" is awkward, and Wu Kang was helpless. I don't have that kind of habit. Be careful that I will sue you for slander!
Helplessly stuck out his tongue, Wu Kang laughed and said, "Just give me the horse, let alone the toad, I will admit it too! By the way, Sanlang, did Miss Cui make any requests? For example, if you pay a new one, or want something?"
Xu Sanjiao shook his head repeatedly, took out a letter mysteriously, and said with ambiguous face: "Congratulations to Wu Shuai, Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Cui entrusted me to hand it over to you. Hehe... Mrs. Cui scolded Wu Shuai for being fake, but giving it to the horse is real! Everyone said, isn't it?"
The subordinates were in a stir again and followed them to make excuses. Wu Kang was confused. He seemed to have never seen Mrs. Cui before. Today he forced a mare and screamed in a woman in the carriage. I think it was her. If he became Mr. Cui's son-in-law, why wouldn't he walk sideways in Wuzhou in the future?
This was the first time I received a love letter in two lifetimes. Wu Kang couldn't help but laugh, stuffed the letter into his pocket, coughed twice, "Don't make a fuss, Miss Cui is a noble family and a girl from Cui Wu. Pay attention to your wording. If it's their reputation, let alone Cui Gong and Cui Wulang, I can't spare you!"
"That's right, I've put my mouth clean," Jiang Daniu scolded everyone, then rubbed his hands and came to the horse, his eyes glowing green: "I said Xu San, don't be standing there, tie it up quickly, and look for grass!"
"Hey," Xu Sanjiao threw the reins on the willow tree and ran out of the gate. All the bad people surrounded him, but they wanted to touch him but didn't dare to touch him, so they kept rubbing their hands.
The little mare looked at a group of two-legged creatures and shook her head disdainfully. Zhou Hao saw the blood on the horse's neck and immediately cursed: "Which field slave did the unethical things that made the horse dirty. Brothers, please get water quickly, I want to clean the little mare... Oh, Jiang Da, what are you doing?"
Seeing that everyone's face was strange, Zhou Hao realized that Wu Kang's face was as heavy as water, and he instantly realized that the long donkey's face turned pale in an instant, and he squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying.
Wu Kang glared at him, coughed twice and said, "Since you like cleaning so much, I'll leave the horse to you, wash it from top to bottom. If there is a little dust, you won't have to eat... Why are you standing there? Go quickly!"
Zhou Hao said twice, lifted the barrel and ran out of the hospital door, and went to the alley to fetch water. Wu Kang looked at his subordinates and said sarcastically: "When I buy the wine, I will distil the alcohol for me. If I don't meet the medical standards, you won't know how to eat. When will you meet the requirements and when will you eat!"
Chapter completed!
