Water Margin people

Midsummer is coming.

"Kill kill kill!"

Around Liangshanbo, the training of soldiers is still going on in an orderly manner.

The cavalry galloped on the shore, and the infantry marched out in formation.

On the water and in the forks of the harbor, there were also sailors sailing and swimming.

The horse, infantry, and water armies are training in full swing.

"This kind of day is decent!"

Sun Lei looked at everything and nodded in satisfaction, this is the life he wants.

"Father!"

Sun Yao and Sun Yao hugged Sun Lei's leg and shouted delicately.

"what happened?"

Sun Lei smiled and patted the heads of the two children, getting together less often and leaving more, but the two children pestered him as soon as he came back, this family relationship came from blood.

"Go out and play!"

Pointing to the outside of the water pool, Sun Yao said, staying in Wanzi City all day is also very boring, Huachan and Li Shishi would not take them out on weekdays.

"Okay, let's go out and play!"

Sun Lei smiled and picked up a pair of children. Anyway, he had nothing to do and it was good to go out and play.

"We're going too!"

Li Shishi suddenly jumped out and said, there is Huachan beside her.

"Let's go to Liangshan Town!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, it seems that the children were probably instigated by Master Li.

Liangshan Town is getting bigger and bigger, and its scale has already surpassed Yuncheng County. Tao Zongwang said several times, saying that it is possible to build a city wall and build a city.

But Sun Lei didn't agree. He didn't like the city wall. It restricted the development of the city and made people complacent. A strong army was the most reliable. When the enemy came to the city that day, what effect would a city wall have?Just lie to yourself!
After getting on the boat, the tall and beautiful building instantly made the children very curious, laughing and running on the deck.

Seeing this, Huachan quickly grabbed the two children. Although the boat was not too bumpy, it wouldn't fall into the water, but the children were too young to bump into it.

When the family arrived in Liangshan Town, someone recognized Sun Lei immediately, but Sun Lei did not establish a country, and still regarded himself as a bandit.
"Father, what is the king?"

Sun Yao asked delicately, drooling.

"The king is another identity of father!"

Sun Lei smiled and took a bunch of candied haws from a hawker's straw and handed them to his daughter. The younger daughter couldn't move her eyes from looking at the red candied haws.

"Father, sweet!"

Xiao Nizi smiled and ate until her eyes narrowed into a line.

"Just like it, come, everyone has it!"

Sun Lei gave another string to his son, Hua Chan, and Li Shishi.

"I'm not a child, can the candied haws be dismissed?"

Master Li muttered dissatisfiedly, but still ate happily.

Candied haws can be regarded as a rare item, which used to be only found in big cities. This thing is made by stringing Shanlihong, crabapple fruit, grapes, hemp yam, walnut kernels, etc. with bamboo sticks, and dipped in rock sugar. It is a very good snack.

Shanlihong, crabapple fruit, grapes, yam, and walnut kernels are not expensive, but rock sugar is expensive. Unlike salt, sugar can be extracted from mines, wells, and sea water. Extracting sugar requires a lot of food. The crop sugar cane also requires fields.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of fields in Liangshan, and smart people have started to grow some cash crops, sugarcane for extracting sugar is one of them.

"Pay!"

Sun Lei saw that the peddler was trembling with a straw stick, and he was a little funny, so he said to Zhu Fu who was accompanying him.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare! I don't dare!"

The peddler obviously misunderstood something, and was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

"It's only natural to pay for food, take it!"

Zhu Fu smiled and took out copper coins and put them in the hands of the peddler. The folk candied haws are just coated with a thin layer of rock sugar, which is a bit sweet, and they are not expensive to sell. You can buy a bunch for a few pennies.

"Father, I want more!"

Sun Yao, who was eating candied haws in Sun Lei's arms, pointed at the candied haws on the stick and shouted.

"It's enough to eat a bunch, and I'll have something else to eat later!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, his son is more greedy, he eats what is in his hand, but also looks at what is in the pot, how can a small person eat two skewers.

Taking children out means eating and buying small toys non-stop, and children are only interested in eating and playing.

"Brother Wu! Here are some pot helmets!"

Sun Lei took the family shopping for a long time, and then came to the door of Wu Dalang's cake shop.

"It's Brother Sun Lei!"

Wu Dalang, who was making cakes, hurried out with a smile.

"Call someone!"

Sun Lei smiled and patted the heads of the two children, and the two little things were eaten.

"Uncle Wu Family!"

The two villains quickly shouted sweetly to Wu Dalang.

"Okay, the hot pancakes will be ready soon!"

Wu Dalang smiled all over his face and ran to the kitchen to make cakes.

"Mother eat!"

Sun Yao smelled the aroma of cooking cakes, and handed the candied fruit that she had only eaten a few mouthfuls to Li Shishi.

"You little thing, don't eat later at night, watch me spank your ass!"

Li Shishi looked at his daughter with staring eyes and said, there was a lot of snacks along the way, his stomach was already full, and he would definitely not eat later.

"Just today!"

Sun Lei ate the candied fruit in his daughter's hand in one gulp and said with a smile.

"Brother, you spoiled them, what can you do in the future!"

Huachan also rarely said, the child is so indulgent today, and he will definitely not be able to shut it down in the future, and will go out to play every day.

"If your father is not at home, you must obey your mother, otherwise your father will not be lenient!"

Sun Lei looked at the children in his arms and said, "The two villains naturally agreed. Whether they can do it or not is another matter."

The cooking cakes were served quickly, and there were many varieties, ranging from steamed buns to baked pot helmets. Wu Dalang brought all the varieties of cooking cakes in the store.

"Brother Wu, didn't Erlang go to Qinghe? Why don't you go back and have a look?"

Sun Lei looked at Wu Dalang and asked, Wu Song took Pan Jinlian and her son Wu Xuan to Qinghe a few days ago.

"It's enough for Erlang to go back for those things at home, don't I still have to watch the store!"

Wu Dalang said with a smile, the main purpose of going back to Qinghe is to pay homage to the ancestors, and it's not the New Year's Eve, it's enough for the two of them to go back one by one.

After talking for a while, Wu Dalang started to work again. The business of his cake shop is very good, and the cakes are sold out as soon as they come out of the pan.

"elder brother!"

Shi Qian walked over from nowhere, smiled and clasped his fists.

"Obey, go to where mother is."

Sun Lei patted the child lying in his arms and said with a smile, Shi Qian must have something to do here at this time.

"Brother, the Liao people have sent someone again."

Shi Qian spoke in a low voice.

"Huh? Come to Liangshan?"

Sun Lei asked.

"No, I just went to Cangzhou. Then Xiao Qian said he wanted to meet his brother!"

Shi Qian said.

"Xiao Qian?"

Sun Lei stroked his chin and began to think.

"Brother, merchants say that Xiao Qian has a lot of power in Yanyun, and he handles military and political affairs with one hand!"

Zhu Fu said.

"Let someone tell Xiao Qian that the meeting is okay, but we will set a time later! We are not free now!"

Sun Lei opened his mouth and said that he had made a condition, giving Liangshan five states, and Liangshan would send troops to deal with the Jurchens. He should want to negotiate terms now, but he had to stay cool at this time, otherwise it would be difficult to negotiate.
