Chapter 219 An inexplicable sense of superiority
Li Laosi shouted to his nephew to bring the casserole into the tent. When he raised his head and saw Mr. Ye coming back, he shouted, "Master Marquis, it's time to eat, I'm waiting for you!"
“Coming!” Mr. Ye responded with a smile, stepped forward and followed him into the tent.
Jiayi and Liu Yang have been working hard all morning and are really hungry now.
The clay bowl that was bigger than the face was filled with noodles, and two spoons of meat sauce were added. Neither of them had time to add the vegetables. They held it in their hands and ate it in a few mouthfuls.
They seemed to just gulp down the noodles without chewing them at all and without opening their throats!
With me being poor, Li Laosi has a headache. I'm afraid the food prepared for Mr. Ye is not enough for them.
So, he asked Mr. Ye, "Master Hou, these two boys often say they want to be soldiers. Why don't they be taken to the cook camp to have a big pot meal and experience the life of the military camp thoroughly."
Before Mr. Ye could refuse, Jiayi and Liu Yang jumped up excitedly, "Okay, we are willing!"
Mr. Ye had no choice but to call his own soldiers and take them down.
Li Laosi quickly picked out the meat from the altar and gave it all to Mr. Ye.
"Master Hou, please eat more and take good supplements. When we went out, Fu Niu kept telling me to take a good look at you to see if you have lost weight. This little girl is almost treating you as her biological father. You should eat more quickly, otherwise The little girl will definitely feel distressed when she goes back."
Mr. Ye couldn't help but laugh. He was obviously a jealous father.
He led the troops and always took the lead, so he rarely opened a small stove in the military camp on weekdays. He would eat whatever the soldiers ate.
Now that he was eating the familiar taste of the food at home, he also had a great appetite.
Two bowls of noodles and half a pot of meat stewed with beans made him unable to sit still before he put down his chopsticks.
Seeing this, Li Laosi and Ye Shan divided the remaining food, even pouring the vegetable soup into the noodles and ate them together.
After dinner, Young Master Ye took Li Laosi out for a walk to eat.
Li Laosi took him to look at the things he had brought home, and told him one by one. Finally, he opened the basket and showed it off like a treasure.
"Look, these are the cold melons and cantaloupes at home. The emperor gave them the names of jade melons and golden fruits. Fu Niu picked these with her own hands. This girl is greedy. She has never seen what cold melons look like, but she actually knows how to pick them raw and cooked. Pick the right one and never miss it.”
Mr. Ye glanced at Li Laosi, who was full of pride, and coughed twice.
This father probably doesn’t know how miraculous his daughter is. Not to mention the raw and cooked cold melons, even the cold melon seedlings were found by his daughter.
This matter is only known to his uncle, and it is also a secret between him and the little girl!
So, in the little girl’s heart, he is more trustworthy than her own father!
Mr. Ye suddenly felt a sense of superiority in his heart. The corners of his mouth were raised and could not be lowered.
As he was talking, a soldier brought a few ragged people over to kowtow and thank him.
It turns out that the battle with the barbarians just now was to save these people back.
Mr. Ye asked a few questions and then asked people to take them down to settle down.
Li Laosi frowned and asked, "Master Hou, are all these people coming over the mountains?"
Mr. Ye nodded, "The barbarians are rampant. In order to escape, many people went into the mountains. They saved their lives first, and then slowly climbed over the mountains to the dock to seek help."
Li Laosi thought of the books left in the cave and said, "You and I are here too. I want to go into the mountain to get something."
"What is it? I will send someone to get it for you?" Mr. Ye asked.
Li Laosi shook his head, recounted what had happened before, and added, "Although the Guo family's behavior makes people unhappy, it would be a pity to leave those books in the mountains. Besides, Jiaren can also use them after he enters the academy."
Mr. Ye thought for a while and said, "I will send someone to go back to Kyoto quickly and ask Mr. Wen to ask Chief Guo. If he agrees to make a copy at home, then go to the mountain to get the book. If he doesn't agree, there will be no It is necessary to take risks." Li Laosi also thought this was the best. Immediately, Mr. Ye called Ye Shan and two soldiers to go to Xindu and send a message to the Li family.
The Guo family now only has a semi-paralyzed old man and an ignorant child, so it is impossible not to agree.
Because they refused, these books could only be thrown in the mountains, and the Guo family had no ability to retrieve them.
Sure enough, Mr. Wen was happy to see Ye Shan and learn about his purpose, and quickly went to Guo's Zhuangzi.
Guo Shan has always been bad at walking, and now he can't go out for a walk. He has lost contact with all his old friends. What he fears most is that one day he will die and his grandson will be left alone.
Mr. Wen came to the door and said that he wanted to take out the collection of books in the mountain. The price was only to make a copy for the Li family. He was overjoyed.
With these collections of books, he can make arrangements for his little grandson's future.
The two soldiers returned to report the news, and Ye Shan personally went back to Suijintan.
The Li family were worried when they heard that Li Laosi was going to the mountains to pick up books.
However, if the general's military orders abroad are not met, they don't agree and have nothing to do.
What's more, with the copies of those books, my family can barely look like a scholar.
At least arrange a study room for Jiaren, bring a classmate or friend, and have shelves full of books.
Old Mrs. Li could only say, "Let him go. As long as Mr. Ye is here, he will also arrange for help. But Liu Yang is not our child, so please tell Liu Biao first."
Liu Biaotou and his wife were quickly found. After listening to the story, they were not worried at all.
“Both Laosi and Jiayi are capable, and they have Mr. Ye to help them. They are familiar with the mountain roads before, so I am worried about what he will do. They are also naughty at home, so it is best to go and do something serious.”
There is no need for everyone in the Li family to worry...
Besides, over at Luo'an Academy, Jiaren didn't know that his fourth uncle had already plunged into the vast mountains in order to get books for him.
During this period, he has completely adapted to life in the academy.
During the day, Gou Sheng'er is always helping him when running errands. Although Gou Sheng'er is clumsy and often makes jokes, he doesn't feel lonely anymore when he has a companion.
After leaving the academy, my three uncles, three aunts, and my younger brother were opening a shop.
The business of the shop was also booming, so much so that everyone in the academy got to know him because of the food shop.
It was enough to pay it off at noon. In the evening, he and Gou Sheng'er would go to the shop to help whenever they had free time.
The students all like to eat the set meals in the shop. The food tastes good, comes in many varieties, and is clean.
Almost as soon as the college is over, there is a long queue in front of the shop. There is no room to sit in, so some people go back to the college to eat.
Today, students in the same dormitory celebrated their birthdays, and Jiaren invited several close classmates to have dinner in the backyard of the shop.
Li Laosan was happy that his nephew had a good friend, so he got up early in the morning and went to buy groceries.
Jia Huan also finished cooking the set meal, and then was busy making a banquet for her brother.
Since the weather was hot, the dining table was set directly in the courtyard and two lanterns were lit, which was quite bright.
