Chapter 90: Can't find water, kneeling at the city gate
At night, Sang Ning talked to Huo Changan.
"Are you being too harsh on Jintang? He's only seven years old, and if he practices for an hour and a half, he won't be able to walk tomorrow."
"Seven years old is not young. My brothers all started practicing at the age of three."
"But Jintang doesn't seem to be suitable for martial arts training. I think Jinxiu is better than him."
"Jinxiu really takes after her second brother."
A natural talent for martial arts training.
"However, Jintang is a boy, and many eyes will be on him in the future. Even if he is not cut out for martial arts training, he must learn the ability to protect himself."
That’s true.
The more you suffer now, the more you will have to save your life in the future.
She cannot be motherly.
In the darkness, Huo Changan stuffed something into her hand.
"I have polished the amber, please see how to make a pendant.
I really don’t know what that guy’s mentality is, liking a big fly! Maybe this big fly has eaten shit before.
Sanning: "..."
At first I thought Huo Changan had some fatherly love, but later I felt disgusted.
This guy just can't say anything nice!
This fly is a perfect work of art, isn't it? He's never seen a mating fly frozen in resin.
"Jintang knows how to appreciate the beauty of nature, but you are like a cow chewing a peony!"
After he finished speaking, something was stuffed into his hand.
"What?"
It looked like a curved piece of wood with something carved on it.
"All the daughters-in-law of the Huo family have them, but they were all confiscated during the house search. I carved a wooden one for you to keep for now. I'll replace it with a jade one later." Huo Changan said casually.
"This is really unnecessary."
However, Huo Changan did not speak again.
Sang Ning sighed, got out of bed, lit the light, and took a closer look at what he was carving.
The wood is in the shape of a half moon.
Modern people who have watched TV know that there should be another half.
Make a circle.
On one side, the words "Chang'an" are engraved, and on the other side, there are peony flowers.
This time the peony flowers are carved more vividly, and the wood is polished smoothly, which is quite beautiful.
Sang Ning looked back and saw Huo Changan covered tightly with a quilt, his brows relaxed, as if he was asleep.
She was stunned for a while.
Then he took out a box from the space and put the wooden pendant and the wooden hairpin together.
Turn off the lights and go to bed.
I accidentally touched the arm of the person next to me.
Um?
Touch it, and touch it again.
"When will you take off all your clothes?"
"What are the conditions? Learn to sleep naked!"
"This bed isn't yours, put it on!"
"Huo Changan? Huo Changan!"
What a naughty kid! He made her so angry!
He is so strong at such a young age.
She fed me too well.
One, two...six-pack abs.
"Hey...how do I eat it?"
"One piece is braised, one is steamed, one is grilled, one is fried, one is stuffed with meatballs, and one is stir-fried with meat. Each one goes well with rice and is delicious and never the same."
"Why……"
The last sigh was filled with sadness.
In reality, you can only envious it but can’t eat it.
Sang Ning patted his abdominal muscles twice with regret, as if saying goodbye reluctantly.
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
The young man released the breath he had been holding for a long time, quietly stretched out his arm and lightly put it around her waist.
There is still a simpler and rougher way to eat it:
Eat raw.
…
The climate in Liangzhou has a large temperature difference between morning and evening.
Your skin may be scorching hot at noon, but it will be freezing cold in the morning and you will need to wear cotton clothes.
It really means wearing a fur coat in the morning and a gauze dress in the afternoon, and eating watermelon around the stove.
The Huo family only had a few pieces of clothing, including a thin linen coat and the cotton-padded coat that the second sister-in-law stuffed into their children's clothes when she saw them off.
Sang Ning and Huo Jingya each wore one and went to the street vegetable market early.
They are here to buy potatoes today.
The potatoes here are called mountain taro eggs by the locals. Many people grow them, but in years of drought, nothing good can be grown.
In years of famine, people were reluctant to take out these foods that could fill their stomachs and hid them in their own cellars.
But eating too much of this would cause bloating, so people took it out and wanted to exchange it for rice, flour or other different things.
Half a bag of potatoes can't even be exchanged for a liter of rice.
Sang Ning exchanged half-crushed corn kernels for half a bag of three liters, which made the potato seller very happy.
At this time, you have to measure. Who wants to eat fine rice?
Three liters of crushed corn can produce one liter of fine flour, and two liters of coarse flour, which is enough to eat for a long time!
A bunch of people gathered around.
She only collected two bags of potatoes and said she would come back next time.
People were noisy and didn't want to leave.
There came a loud voice at an inopportune moment.
"Yo yo yo, who is this? Why does it look to me like the girl who claimed that the Huo family could find water?"
"Why don't you go find some water instead of picking up some sweet potato eggs?"
Sang Ning looked towards the source of the sound and saw a fat man in his thirties with a small mustache, a big golden crown on his head, and a brand new satin cotton coat. He was sitting with his legs crossed, leisurely eating noodles at a noodle stall!
As soon as he spoke, the people surrounding Sang Ning spontaneously made way for him, not daring to block the fat man's sight.
"It's this fat guy again!" Huo Jingya cursed angrily.
"Fourth sister-in-law, it was him. He and a bunch of people threatened us yesterday, saying that if we couldn't find water, he would tear down our house!"
good.
good.
What a fat guy!
You can tell at a glance that there is money to be made!
Anyone who can maintain such a figure in this day and age must be the God of Wealth!
It is true that rich people never lack food and drink.
Sang Ning immediately walked over with a smile.
"Hey, Fatty, what are you eating?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, "How dare you call me fat? No one in Liangzhou City is so bold! Woman, you've offended this master!"
"No way? How did I scold you? I said Fatty, not Fatty. Haven't you heard of Fatty Rice Noodles?"
What meter? What thread?
Sang Ning sat across from him and sincerely said, "Fatty Rice Noodles is the most delicious food. Its logo is a round and cute fat God of Wealth image, oh, just like you.
When I first saw you, I thought the Fat God of Wealth had come down from the picture."
"Fat God of Wealth": "..."
This was a novel way of praising someone, and it sounded quite pleasing to him.
The God of Wealth, isn’t that it?
No one in Liangzhou City can be as rich as him.
The fat man clearly had a smug look on his face, but he was still pretending.
"Stop flattering me. Which one of the Huo family are you? I heard this girl say that there's a guy named Sang who boasted that he could find water?" He glanced at Huo Jingya.
Huo Jingya was so angry that her eyes were blazing with anger.
Fat piggy!
"Sorry, my last name is Sang." Sang Ning was not angry.
"I see that Mr. Fatty has a rosy complexion and looks rich and prosperous. He looks like he has no shortage of water."
"Of course I'm not in need! I'll send ten strong men to fetch water from the mountain every day. Each round trip takes three days, and they can bring back a full tank of water!"
The only ones who lack water are the poor.
Sang Ning suddenly understood.
Confused, he asked, "Then why are you so concerned about me finding water? Even if I can't find water, it won't harm your interests."
"What you said is not right! I have water to drink, but what about the people in the whole city? You dare to speak such nonsense. If you want to give the people hope, you must do it. If you can't do it, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the people!" The fat boy transformed himself into justice and spoke shamelessly.
"It turns out that Master Fatty is actually a man of integrity who cares about the people! I admire you! I admire you! Great!"
Sang Ning slammed the table, scaring Fatty.
"In that case, I, Sang Ning, swear hereby that if I cannot find water within three days, I will kneel at the city gate and apologize to the people!"
"If I find water, it means I saved the people from danger. Master Fatty, how can you thank me for this great contribution on behalf of the people?"
