Chapter 102 Young Travel Pet
As they walked, Zhou Shaoyu told Xie Yanyan anecdotes about the Sixteen Kingdoms.
"Yesterday I heard something. The State of Yan has been ordering shields from the Wei family. The Wei family has been making shields for hundreds of years, so they are naturally much better than other families, but they are never completely satisfied. One or two out of ten shields cannot withstand the piercing of a spear. The Emperor of Yan is very troubled and wants to change a shield-making emperor."
When he said this, the prince turned around and said, "Wei's shield is indeed very strong. If Emperor Yan wants to replace him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a better one."
"That's right. Emperor Yan was in a lot of trouble and talked to Wei. Wei said their products were already the strongest and even if they were killed, they couldn't be perfect."
The prince also sighed when he heard this.
The royal family was often helpless as the cost of making shields was very high. For hundreds of years, the Wei family not only customized shields for the State of Yan, but also provided them to other countries. Even the Qin Dynasty placed orders for the production of shields with the Wei family.
"Are they sure that they can no longer improve the pass rate?" Xie Yanyan asked calmly.
"Yes, Wei said so very clearly." It was the first time Zhou Shaoyu heard the word "pass rate", but he understood it immediately.
"Isn't this easy? Randomly select 100 samples from the delivered shields, ask the head of the Wei family or the heir to hold the shield, and send someone to pierce the shield with a spear. If all 100 shields are intact, then they will be qualified."
Xie Yanyan said lightly, “If they are not afraid of the death of the master of the Wei family, they will try their best to achieve the best in everything.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Shaoyu and the prince suddenly stopped.
Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong also stopped and looked at Xie Yanyan.
Xie Yanyan twitched his eyelids: "Why, did I say something wrong?"
Zhou Shaoyu was the first to react and smiled particularly beautifully.
"No, no, no, you are right, and you said it very well."
[Sure enough]
Xie Yanyan looked up at the person next to him. This person was tall and had long legs. Although he was young, he had a thousand faces, and each face was intoxicatingly beautiful.
Zhou Shaoyu returned a bright smile, lowered his head sharply, and looked into her eyes: "What do you want to say?"
"Are you testing me on purpose?"
"No!" I just want to see how smart you are~
"Some grain merchants always sell things at a lower weight. How can you buy a stone of grain without losing money?" Xie Yanyan also asked a question.
"Test me?"
"yes."
Zhou Shaoyu thought about it for a moment and said with a smile, "I have a solution!"
[I pretend to buy two shi of grain, and after the two shi are weighed, I take one shi out of the two shi, and I will take away the remaining grain, which will definitely not be less than one shi]
Xie Yanyan: You are also very smart!
Everyone says he likes fighting and is uneducated, but it seems that is all false.
The prince did not respond and slowed down his steps. He had always heard about the problem of short weight and just wanted to strictly control the regulations on scales, but he really hadn't come up with a good solution.
Dong Liu said, "Compare it with someone else's scale and you will know how much shorter it is, and then ask him to make up for it."
The prince laughed and said, "How do you know that other people's scales are accurate?"
Dong Liu was speechless and after thinking for a while he was still speechless.
Xu Wenrong smiled and said, "I thought of that, too."
[Take an object and weigh it on his scale. Note the weight of the object and weigh it the same as the grain. One more stone will do. Subtract the weight of the object and you will get one stone of grain.]
Xie Yanyan nodded slightly, this is also a method.
The two of them gave their answers respectively, and Xu Wenrong said, "The prince's method is better."
The prince was delighted and praised: "Miss Xie is very smart, Jingchen and Master Xu have brilliant ideas. The above two questions provide us with good reverse ideas to solve the difficult problems. It is beneficial to the country and the people, and even more beneficial to the court."
I was happy and didn't feel the road was rough. I walked fairly fast. I climbed over a mountain that was over a thousand meters high and took a short rest halfway up the mountain.
I opened the water bag, drank some water, and continued climbing.
In the mountains in summer, mosquitoes are like black clouds, constantly flying towards people, and if you are not careful, they will get into your nostrils.
Zhou Shaoyu seemed to be laughing and moving around, but Xie Yanyan knew that he was helping her to drive away mosquitoes and bugs.
Insects fell from the trees from time to time, and Xie Yanyan's scalp tingled. There was no girl who was not afraid of these large pine caterpillars with warning colors.
Zhou Shaoyu ejected them all without making a sound.
The prince was five steps ahead, and even though Dong Liu kept swinging his sword, bugs still occasionally fell on him.
Not a single bug landed on Xie Yanyan.
Xie Anfeng also saw it and felt grateful in his heart. Prince Zhou was so approachable!
After climbing the second hill, the prince was very tired, his face was red with a hint of blue-gray.
Everyone, hurry down and rest halfway up the mountain today.
Dong Liu and Dong Shisan supported the prince and found a vacant lot. They cut down the weeds and bushes on the ground and made a flat land.
Unroll the luggage on your back and put up the tent.
Xie Yanyan was amazed and immediately turned his phone to a higher position to take a 360-degree photo of this ancient "tent".
It turns out that the tent that “plans within the tent and decides the victory thousands of miles away” looks like this.
The tent was supported by copper brackets. Its length, width and height were all over 3 meters. Even in the 22nd century, it could definitely be considered a large tent.
Think about it, this is the crown prince of a country, the future heir to the throne, and he is so particular even when crossing the mountains on foot.
The prince said to Xie Yanyan, this tent is very large. I can hang a cloth to divide it into two rooms. How about you stay in the outer room?
Xie Yanyan shook his head and said no, it was not easy for him to have the chance to camp outdoors, so he just wanted to look up at the sky and count the stars.
"There are too many mosquitoes. You are a woman and cannot stand being bitten by mosquitoes. I am a man with thick skin and flesh. If you really want to avoid the distinction between men and women, you can stay in the tent while Dongliu and I sleep outside?"
Zhou Shaoyu said with a smile: "Prince, you can sleep peacefully. I brought a mosquito net and a blanket for her."
The current mosquito nets are not breathable, but they can keep out mosquitoes in the wild. Covering them with a layer of oilcloth can also keep out dew.
Before it got completely dark, Zhou Shaoyu, Zhou Jin, Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong cut four wooden stakes, stuck them in the soil, made a quadrilateral wooden frame, hung the mosquito net on it, and then put up a circle of cloth curtain around it to provide privacy.
Dong Shisan also carried a pot, which was not big, enough for boiling water to cook for the prince.
Xie Yanyan opened a few cans of luncheon meat, put out a bag of beef jerky, opened a bottle of chili sauce, and started eating dinner with the steamed buns and pancakes that Dongliu and the others brought.
Xie Anfeng smiled and said, "Although my Yan'er is young, he is very thorough in his work."
[Such a delicious dish would be perfect if there was a bowl of wine]
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Xie Yanyan reached into the basket and took out a bottle of Fenjiu from Jin.
She tore off all the labels on the outside of the bottle, leaving only a transparent glass bottle with a metal lid.
Fenjiu was her favorite wine in her previous life. It was refreshing and smooth, pure and fragrant, and the effect came and went quickly.
He handed it to Xie Anfeng and said, "This is the wine I made in my spare time. Have a drink to relieve your fatigue."
Xie Anfeng was so excited that just when he wanted to drink, his daughter offered him some wine. She was so thoughtful.
[Yan'er can also brew wine? This kid is so smart]
The prince looked at the bottle of chili sauce in the middle and his eyes lit up.
I kept hearing my father talk about how the chili sauce Zhou Shaoyu bought from the foreigners was a delicacy, but it was a pity that he only had one jar and it was gone after he ate it all.
[It turns out that the chili sauce was made by Miss Xie. Jingchen lied to his father and said that he bought it by chance from a foreigner.]
[It seems that he is afraid that his father will ask Miss Xie to pay tribute for a long time]
Xie Yanyan: "Brother Fu, I bought this chili sauce by chance from a foreigner a few days ago. Try it."
Zhou Shaoyu's smile suddenly became as bright as the cherry blossoms in the morning.
