Chapter 437： specialty

After everyone finished shopping for Xiao Jiu, they all returned to the Zhou Mansion. Xiao Jiu wanted to see the two deer.

He was worried that he would not see these two deer when he returned to the capital.

"They are so docile and cute!" Xiao Jiu fed them with elm leaves, feeling a little reluctant.

Indeed, they nodded in agreement.

They came to feed them from time to time, and they also liked the two sika deer very much.

"Are we going to eat them after a while?"

The second child stroked their heads through the fence, frowning and reluctant to say.

The third child also pulled at the fence, looked at them, and suggested softly: "Let's just stop eating them and keep them like this? It just so happens that they have one male and one female, so they can have cubs."

"Well, don't eat them, let's keep them first. My mother said that their antlers are good things, and it's also good to keep and cut antlers."

This proposal has been unanimously approved by everyone. After a period of feeding, they have feelings for these two.

Anyway, after eating venison for almost two months, they are not greedy anymore.

There are still venison sauce and venison jerky left at home, and they have nothing to eat. They go hunting and try their luck. They can eat other prey without deer.

Xiao Jiu is excited now, and when he comes back, he can still see them, that's great.

"Don't eat them anymore, do we have to give them a name?"

"I'll come, I'll call... call..." The boss thought for a while.

"Well... there! Small spots, small spots. Yes, the name is apt, the patterns on their bodies are spots."

The third child objected first, "It doesn't sound good!"

He is used to sing the opposite of his elder brother.

"Then what's your name?"

"Forehead…"

He is also short of words!

Zhou Shan smiled and said, "Either the male's name is Banban, and the female's name is Diandian?"

The boss rolled his eyes, "Isn't it the same as what I took?"

"It's not the same, the overlapping sounds are better! I agree to call it the spots."

"You can pull it down. This is the deer we hunted. What do you want to agree to?" The boss said to Zhou Yi angrily.

"Why can't I agree? I also fed them grass."

"I also agree to call it Banbandian. It sounds better than Xiaobanxiaodian. The second brother and Xiaojiu definitely have no problem, they won five to one! It's called Banbandian, haha!"

The third child smiled and took everyone except his eldest brother with him.

Zhou Yi also winked at the boss with a smirk.

The boss didn't object with a cold snort, and the spots were just spots. Anyway, it was the proposal he mentioned first.

He showed great mercy and did not care about the third child.

"My father said that I will leave on the tenth day of the first lunar month. I will go to ask the master for leave in advance tomorrow. After the tenth day of the lunar new year, I will not go to the academy. I will come back after the new year. Remember me."

"I'll definitely miss you, remember to bring us the specialties of Yanyun Prefecture!" The third child said with a smile.

"Our specialty is cattle, sheep and horses. Do I want to bring a group back for you? Haha."

"Is there nothing else?"

"Their fur is also our specialty."

Gu "Anything else?"

"Kush can be considered as well. We are bordering the customs. Those nomads like to drink kumiss. I will bring you a few jars back then."

"Is it made of horse's milk mixed with wine? Although my mother told us not to drink until the age of fifteen, it's still a specialty. We can try it out in an open and honest way."

Zhou Yong was very curious about this kumiss.

"Yes, it is mixed with mare's milk, but it is very strong. Milk wine is warm in nature, and has the functions of repelling cold, relaxing muscles, invigorating blood circulation, and strengthening stomach. The weather outside Guan is harsh in winter, so the nomads rely on heating mare's milk to warm their bodies."

Zhou Shan and the others shook their heads in disinterest, they were all still young.

"We are not interested in wine, you can bring a little to Zhou Yong at will."

Zhou Yong nodded, "They don't like it, so you can do whatever you want. It's beef, you can bring more into Beijing when the time comes."

"It's still very cold after the New Year, so it shouldn't be bad. All three of us like to eat beef, but our Great Summer Law does not allow the arbitrary slaughter of cattle."

The third child also agreed, "Yes, bring more beef, we have all been tricked by Zhou Shanyang. We haven't eaten beef for a long time, so we miss it."

Zhou Shan is also helpless, because cattle cannot be slaughtered at will, and the palace eats mutton more often, and only occasionally kills one head for meat.

In addition, as the weather turns cold, mutton is more suitable for tonic, and he hasn't eaten it for a while.

Moreover, he didn't dare to show that he liked to eat, otherwise the palace could accidentally kill a cow every day.

This is too extravagant and wasteful.

Although his identity has changed, he is still very simple in his bones.

Farming cattle is very important labor for the common people, and he would rather eat less.

Xiao Jiu grinned and said, "No problem, we don't have anything but meat from all kinds of livestock. I'll bring you a slaughtered cow back then."

The third child looked at him with bright eyes and nodded frantically, "Okay, okay, it's just cold, so you can cut it into pieces and freeze it, so you're not afraid of breaking it."

Zhou Yi was not very familiar with him, so he just smiled and looked at them talking without making a sound. Although he wanted it very much, he was not so cheeky yet.

"I've fed Banbandian, let's go, you can also go and tell my mother about the tenth departure, so that she can prepare the soil ceremonies for you in advance."

They spent most of the day outside, and it was getting late now. The boss pushed them out, and by the way, let Xiao Jiu tell his mother the day of departure.

The next day, Xiao Jiu also went to ask the Master for leave~ The Master agreed without a second word. Although this son has good qualifications, it is a pity that he is the son of a businessman, and he also feels sorry for him.

The Master was afraid that he would waste his studies when he went back, so he specially warned him, "Reading is not necessarily for being an official. Many poems that have been passed down through the ages are many from businessmen or women."

"Reading can also bring out your personal value. Don't leave your homework behind when you go home. You can also pass the time by endorsement on the way."

"Yes, Master, the students follow the teachings." Xiao Jiu respectfully accepted.

Although he was leaving in a few days, he still came to the academy to study every day as usual.

As usual, as it is now, every day's homework has been completed well.

In the morning, when I went to the academy by carriage, I also had a scroll in my hand.

The boss sighed when he saw it, "I don't know how to grasp this great opportunity to be lazy. Anyway, I can't take the imperial examinations, so I'll be fine if I read it."

"Why are you still working so hard, you're still holding a book on the carriage, what's the matter?"

"Reading is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. I like reading very much, and my master also said that reading is not necessarily for being an official. If I'm lazy, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep up with everyone's progress when I come back after the year."

He felt that what the Master said was quite right.
