Chapter 97
A stout man stood outside the small courtyard. At this moment, he was frowning at the people in the courtyard, and his expression was rather unpleasant.

The child eating the cake jumped up suddenly, ran out happily and called, "Grandpa!"

The man hurriedly picked him up, looked at He Lingjiang and others defensively, and asked, "Who are you and why are you in my courtyard?"

The group of people in front of them, standing in the simple and desolate yard, are so out of place.

The little lady in the middle, at first glance, was of extraordinary origin, and the guards around her were all strong and strong, with a restrained aura, and they were also strong.

He narrowed his eyes, hugged the child vigilantly, and stepped back slightly.

He Lingjiang stood up and smiled at him to show his goodwill: "But Mr. Liu Jialang? We are here for the night, and there is no malicious intent."

"I am." He glanced at He Lingjiang again, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, "Why are you here?"

Hearing this, the child hurriedly pulled his sleeve: "Grandpa, Mrs. He is here to look for stones."

"Looking for a stone?" Liu Da frowned.

"Yes, it is said to be used for painting." The child blinked, "Grandpa, you see there are people who like to collect stones as much as I do."

Liu Da's rough palm patted his head lightly, this child, how can the mineral pigments that people look for are the same as those he was looking for in the past?

The mineral pigments that can be painted are of great value.

In addition, the mined area of ​​Nanshan is mainly for the production of copper mines.

Even if it happens by chance, if you really encounter the ore minerals that can be used as pigments, you have to hand them in. How can others find it?

He glanced at He Lingjiang lightly: "Ms. He, you've come to the wrong place to look for ore pigments. In this area of ​​Nanshan, there is only one copper mining area that has been approved by the court for mining."

He Lingjiang smiled needlessly: "I'm looking for ores, and it's just a hobby. It doesn't matter if you are expensive or cheap. If you can look around, you may be able to find the stone you like. If you can't find it, it's good to have some experience."

"No one is allowed to enter the important mining areas in the mining area. If the lady is looking for stones, she can only look around." Liu Da lightly reminded her.

"It doesn't matter." He Lingjiang waved his hand, "I'll take a look under this mining area and look through the waste rocks you've mined. It's always a good thing, right?"

"What's more, Nanshan is so big that this mining area only accounts for one out of ten. Even if I can't find anything in this mining area, I can go to other hills to see it."

She smiled and said: "I can't move the things that are being mined in this mining area, but we have never said that in the Great Zhou Law, even the surrounding mountains are not allowed to pick up a stone or two."

All in all, she must stay in Nanshan for a few days.

Liu Da narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

Lady Zhao stuck her head out of the stove and called out in surprise, "You're back?"

She hurriedly got out of the smoky stove and introduced to Liu Da, "This is Mrs. He. She came to Nanshan to look for mineral pigments and stayed in our house for two days."

Liu Da said "um" and carried the child into the hospital.

"You greet Mrs. He and the others first. I'm going to cook. Today, I deliberately cut a few catties of bone-in mutton, just enough to cook a pot of mutton soup. I went to Qianliu's house to catch a chicken, and I can also beat it. Tooth sacrifice." After saying that, he got into the kitchen and got busy again.

The sky finally got dark.

Candles are expensive, and ordinary people can't afford them. Liu Da went to the room and brought out two oil lamps and put them on the table in the courtyard.

The dim yellow light flickered slightly, reflecting a small halo for the small courtyard.

The smell of the food came from the stove, making people who had been busy all day growl.

Qingzhu leaned into the kitchen: "Miss Zhao, let me serve you the dishes."

Mrs. Zhao turned around and said with a smile, "Just right, this sheep soup is also stewed."

There were a lot of people today, so Mrs. Zhao deliberately found a large pot to have soup. This pot was full of soup, bright in color, milky white, and sprinkled with a handful of pepper powder.

She poured the mutton soup into a large bowl and handed it to Qingzhu.

Qingzhu reached out to take it, and took the sheep soup out of the kitchen. She put the soup on the table in front of He Lingjiang: "Qi Niangzi, you can use it first."

The child sitting opposite, smelling the tangy fragrance, could not help but sniff.

He Lingjiang looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and pushed the sheep soup in front of him: "Drink it first."

The child raised his head and looked at his grandfather. Although he was young, he knew that Mrs. He was a guest.

Liu Dazheng was about to speak, but He Lingjiang said: "The child can't be hungry, just eat first."

Saying that, she took a piece of naan and handed it to the child.

The child hesitated to take the naan, and seeing that his grandfather didn't say anything, he buried his head and took a sip of soup.

The lamb soup that was just out of the pot was so hot that his tongue hurt, but he was reluctant to spit it out.

This mutton soup, but it is rare to drink it once in a few months.

He swallowed the mutton soup in his mouth, and then took a bite of the naan with satisfaction.

Although Mrs. Zhao simmered a lot, there were so many people in the yard, and a large pot of mutton soup was divided, but each person was worthy of a bowl.

Fortunately, the Liu family's naan cakes are enough. A bowl of hot and spicy lamb soup with naan cakes is also delicious.

There was only one chicken that had just been slaughtered, and He Zheng did not move it, leaving it to He Lingjiang and the Liu family to eat.

Mrs. Zhao took a chicken leg and put it in He Lingjiang's bowl: "Miss He, eat meat."

This lady is precious and precious, and their family is simple, so they have to try to greet people as well as possible.

He Lingjiang did not refuse, but nodded slightly in thanks. This chicken is not firewood, although it is not very delicious, but it is a rare delicacy in this mining area.

After a meal, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.

After dinner, Qingzhu took the initiative to clean up the tableware and went to the kitchen to clean it. He Lingjiang sat in the courtyard and chatted with Mrs. Liu and his wife.

"Liu Jialangjun, how many days do you want to rest when you go to the mine this time?" He Lingjiang asked curiously.

"Why?" Mrs. Zhao curled her lips, "He hasn't been to such a leisurely day. He comes down once every ten days and a half months, and he can only stay for one day. After tomorrow, he will return to the mine. But , These few days, it's hard to come back twice more, at least I can take a rest."

Although it was a tone of disgust, it was full of distress for his own man.

Liu Da smiled helplessly and said, "There have been a lot of incidents in the mine recently. If you don't hurry up, how will it happen?"

He Lingjiang's eyes moved slightly, and he asked him casually, "Did Liu Langjun ever encounter anything worth mentioning in the mine?"

Facing the gazes of Liu Da and Mrs. He, she smiled embarrassedly: "I just like to listen to other people's stories."

"He..." Lady Zhao was about to speak, but was interrupted by Da Liu.

"There's nothing to say about the matter in the mine, whether you don't listen or don't listen."

He smiled and then stood up: "It's getting late, Mrs. He should rest earlier."
