New Wagang

Chapter 15 A Bowl of Ginger Soup

It was very late at night, and the whole cottage was silent, revealing a little serenity.

The light in Yuwenba's room was still on, and he was waiting for Xu Shiji. He knew that Xu Shiji would definitely come tonight, but now Shanwazi, who had been promoted to Yuwenba's personal attendant, was very suspicious, because during the day Xu Shiji and several leaders took turns to drink water. Xie Yingdeng and Niu Gai's wine were drunk already, and they just fell asleep at this time, so why would they come to find the boss in the middle of the night?

Shanwazi was thinking to himself, when he heard footsteps outside the house, he hurriedly opened the door, and saw that it was the second master who had arrived, so he couldn't help being startled.

"What's the matter, Shanwazi, don't you welcome the second head?" Xu Shiji rubbed his forehead, fell asleep, and finally sobered up. He didn't expect Xie Yingdeng and Niu Gai to be so good at drinking. He added Zhai to Wang Qing. Duan Da and Zhang Dabao are worthy of a tie.

"No... no, the big boss is waiting for the second boss in the back room." After Shanwazi finished speaking, he walked out of the house. Xu Shiji was taken aback when he heard Shanwazi say that Yuwenba was waiting for him. It was even more strange for Wazi to go out in the middle of the night, so he stopped and said:
"It's so late, where are you going?"

"Elder Master had already boiled ginger soup in the kitchen and prepared it. He said that it was cold at the end of autumn and the humidity on the mountain was heavy. Second Master would be easily infected with cold after waking up after drinking and walking at night. Shanwazi went to bring ginger soup to Second Master."

"Ginger soup." Xu Shiji was stunned on the spot, and murmured two words from the corner of his mouth.

What kind of wisdom is it that my brother can guess that he will come tonight?

But what surprised Xu Shiji even more than this was Yuwenba's carefulness, and even asked someone to prepare ginger soup in advance. At this moment, Xu Shiji suddenly felt a sore nose.

"Brother." Xu Shiji yelled heavily in his heart, let out a long breath, and finally calmed down his emotions. He gently pushed open the door of the back room, only to see Yuwenba writing and drawing on a piece of paper. I didn't find it when I entered the house, and it was inconvenient to disturb me at the moment, so I just stood quietly by the side.

After a while, Shanwazi brought ginger soup. Seeing Xu Shiji standing by the door, he was about to call Yuwenba, but Xu Shiji grabbed him and gave him a wink. Shanwazi nodded immediately, and handed the ginger soup to Xu Shiji. , Xu Shiji drank the ginger soup, and suddenly felt a warm feeling all over his body, which was extremely transparent. At this time, Yuwenba seemed to have completed the task in hand, raised his head and smiled at Shanwazi, saying:
"How? I said that the second master will come tonight, right?"

Shanwazi patted his head, smiled embarrassingly, then picked up the bowl and went out of the back room.

"How does brother determine that Ji will come tonight?" Xu Shiji still asked the doubts in his heart.

"Xie Ke is such a hero, Maogong must be very coveted, right? If he can be left on the mountain, my Xiaodang Mountain will be even more powerful." Yuwenba grinned and said:
"I guess Mao Gong will definitely be haunted by this matter when he wakes up in the middle of the night, and he will definitely not be able to sleep anymore, so he will come to find me."

As for why it is concluded that you must wake up in the middle of the night, it is even simpler. After drinking so much alcohol, it is strange not to get up to pee, hehe.

"Brother is really knowledgeable!" Xu Shiji couldn't help but stood up and bowed deeply to Yuwenba, then sat back on the chair and said:
"However, there is one more thing. Can my brother guess it?"

"Naturally." Yuwenba pointed to the chair, and after Xu Shiji sat down, Yuwenba said again:

"The settlement allowance for the brothers is a huge expense, and it will become more and more burdensome in the future as the number of brothers on the mountain increases. There is also the problem of the resettlement of the brothers' family members. Maogong's insomnia will also have to do with these It's related, did I guess wrong?"

"Brother is comparable to Zhuge's fortune-telling!" Xu Shiji couldn't help staring deeply at Yuwenba, the color in his eyes made Yuwenba's heart tremble, and he unconsciously glanced at the outer room, Shanwazi, don't go away It's far away, if there is something troublesome in the future, the boss wants your help!
"It seems that my brother already has a follow-up plan." Xu Shiji saw that Yuwenba already knew everything in his chest. Seeing Yuwenba sit down and said:
"Brother, hurry up and tell Ji, so that Ji can sleep well tonight!"

Is it necessary to be so close?
Yuwenba slandered, handed the blueprint to Xu Shiji, and said:
"War is fighting for money. Food and grass need money, and soldiers need money. Whoever has more money will win the battle. Tomorrow, Lord Mao will ask in the village if there is anyone who knows carpentry. If not, send someone there. Go to Weicheng, and make sure to get the things on the blueprint within three days."

"This is... a steamer?" Xu Shiji was really surprised when he looked at the blueprint. The steamer on this picture is just much bigger than usual. Could it be that this thing can be used by you just now when the cottage arrived? It is said that it can support the money and food used for war?

Next to the drawing, there is a detailed list of some small items purchased, and it turns out that they are all wine-making utensils. I was stunned, so I want to make wine?

"This is a wonderful thing. Once this thing comes out, it will definitely make the world go crazy. Don't ask Mr. Mao, you will know when the time comes."

Xu Shiji's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he couldn't help but glanced at the blueprint again, but he had no choice but to give up, don't ask if he doesn't ask, anyway, he will know in the future, thinking of Xie Yingdeng, he said immediately:

"Then brother, is there a way to keep Xie Ke?"

"Four words: don't say, don't do." Seeing Xu Shiji was stunned, Yuwenba smiled lightly, and continued:
"Shaohua Mountain has strong soldiers and strong horses, and it also has a good location. It is several times stronger than my Xiaodang Mountain in every aspect. No matter how enthusiastic and sincere I am, it will not be useful."

"This..." Xu Shiji felt more and more that Yuwenba had the feeling of 01:30 cents, and he opened his mouth to spit out a word and then calmly stopped, and finally said unwillingly:
"Can't we even try?"

"Since you know you will be rejected, why bother to humiliate yourself and let others look down on you?" Yu Wenba smiled lightly and said:
"Wouldn't it be even worse if everyone felt resentful because of this."

Before Xu Shiji could speak again, Yuwenba had already continued:
"We just need to keep them on the mountain as long as possible, and then drink and eat meat with them every day, talk about literature and martial arts, don't say anything else, when the time comes, this person will definitely go up the mountain Come take a chair."

"Since my brother is so confident, I will order it tomorrow, so that the leaders will not be self-defeating." Xu Shiji naturally understood what Yuwenba meant when he said that it will happen when the strength of Xiaodang Mountain is greater than that of Shaohua Mountain. But how long will it take? Thinking of this, Xu Shiji couldn't help but sighed softly.
