Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 190 Homecoming
Wu Song shook his head and said: "Your camel is really good, but the camel is in the desert and the Gobi. The camel in Qinghe County is really not very useful. It's 35 taels expensive. Tell me the real price, and it can be successful." I want it, if it doesn’t work, forget it.”

The man who sells camels is also depressed. The camels are always hungry and thirsty, but here there is grass on the side of the road and water in the river ditches. The camels can eat grass and drink water when they open their mouths.

"Camels are actually very good at plowing land, so I don't have to worry about selling them. The price is 33 taels. You can see that we can get both money and goods right away." said the man selling the camels.

Pan Jinlian watched her man bargaining to buy a camel. The more he looked at it, the more handsome he looked. At first, he thought it was a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, but he didn't expect it to be really good. He is handsome and rich. Buy, unambiguous, really found a treasure.

"That's it."

Wu Song paid the silver, paid the deed tax, and went through the formalities. The saddle was ready-made, and he took it home when he was done.

When he got home, Wu Dalang was carrying a burden and was preparing to sell cooking cakes. No matter how busy he was, he couldn't lose his business. He relied on cooking cakes to support his family.

Wu Dalang looked at this long-haired monster and didn't know what to say. This guy stretched his neck to be as tall as two Wu Dalangs.

Wu Dalang said: "Erlang, you won't buy this camel for me to ride, will you? It's very expensive, and it looks like it's very edible."

Wu Song looked proud and said, "Brother, you can't just look at the status, but the effect. If you ride this big monster to sell cooking cakes, you can sell several times more without shouting. This is a big monster that attracts attention."

Wu Dalang looked at his short legs and said, "It's hard for me to ride a donkey at my height, and I need a ladder to get up."

Wu Song pulled the camel's nose, and the camel was very obedient and obediently got down.

Wu Dalang sat between the humps, with two baskets of cooking cakes hanging beside him.According to Professor Wu Song's method, Luo Tuo took Wu Dalang to the street to sell cooking cakes.

"Cooking cakes, cooking cakes."

Wu Dalang cleared his throat and yelled a few times in a melodious manner.

In the past, Wu Dalang shouted loudly and couldn’t sell quickly. Today, the pancakes are selling fast. Wu Dalang is small and hidden in the hump. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t see it. From a distance, you can see a camel walking slowly. It's unmanned.

Da Lang was dressed in silk and satin, and he looked like a boss. There was no need to shout, and the baker would come right away.

"Look, isn't that Wu Dalang, wearing silk and riding a camel, Niucha." Popijia said.

Poppy B said: "Go, go and bully him."

"If you want to die, don't drag me, don't you know that Wu Erlang is back?" Popijia said.

"I want two biscuits."

"I want six pancakes."

"Don't worry, where are my shoes?"

Several people gathered around Wu Dalang to buy cooking cakes, and it didn't take long for Dalang to come back on a camel.

"Erlang, this camel is so powerful that many people came to buy my pancakes after seeing it." Wu Dalang said.

Da Lang built a simple shed in the backyard for the camel to rest and feed, and made a small amount of carrots to make the camel very happy.

Wu Dalang's home is ten miles southeast of Qinghe County. It's called Wujia Village.

Uncle Wu took the farm tools after breakfast and was about to go to the blacksmith to repair the farm tools, when he heard the sound of camel bells, tinkling very crisply.

Looking up, I saw a huge camel first on the way into the village, followed by three horses.

As for the person on the horse, Uncle Wu instinctively didn't see it, because in his mind, he thought that among the people he knew, there was no one riding a horse.

Uncle Wu took the agricultural tools and was about to go to the blacksmith shop. When he passed the camels, someone suddenly called, "Uncle Wu."

Third Uncle Wu staggered in fright, and looked up to see that sitting between the humps of the camel was none other than his nephew Wu Dalang, who was doing business in the county.

"Dalang, why are you back?"

"I have something to do with my third uncle when I come back, what are you doing here?"

"I'm going to fix the hoe."

"Go back, walk, go home."

Uncle Wu went back again, at the door of Uncle Wu.The third uncle didn't dare to recognize Wu Song. When Wu Song left home, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He didn't come back for several years, and his appearance changed a lot.

"Third Uncle, I'm Wu Song. You're still in good health."

After all, he was his own nephew, and his blood was thicker than water. The third uncle held Wu Song's hand and shed a few tears.

"Okay, okay, everything is okay." The third uncle said.

Wu Song introduced his two brothers, Zhang Geng and Li Heng.

The third uncle said: "Don't stay at the door, hurry into the yard."

Inevitably, we exchanged pleasantries, the third uncle's son Da Zhuang was also at home, the young man was not young anymore, he was in his twenties, he had no wife, he was a bachelor, he was tall and strong, and he was very good.

As soon as he saw Wu Song, he came over and said, "Brother Erlang, you are back."

"Well, come back and see you."

"Hey, you guys came here on big horses, it's so beautiful." Wu Dazhuang was very happy.

The third uncle said: "Da Zhuang, go catch a sheep and kill it, and serve your brother and others with stewed meat."

Wu Song stopped him and said, "Third Uncle, don't bother. We have straps on our camels. Da Zhuang will help you unload them."

When Wu Song came back to his hometown, he brought a lot of things, including dozens of catties of pork, a leg of lamb, and some snacks.

With so many things, naturally there is no need for third uncle to spend money. Da Zhuang helped his mother prepare dinner and dinner.

Da Lang, Wu Song and the third uncle came to the ancestral home of Wu Song's family.Not far from the third uncle, the thatched house has been dilapidated.Not far to the east of the thatched cottage is the lotus pond of Wu Song's family, with a water surface of about ten mu.The water is not deep, only meters deep in summer.Now winter is only in the calf, but this place is really suitable for raising geese. There are a lot of weeds in the upstream river ditch, and geese like to eat grass the most.

Wu Song said: "My third uncle is planning to open a new restaurant in the county town, which specializes in selling stewed geese in iron pots. We need to build a fence to enclose the lotus pond, and the ancestral house also needs to be repaired. It cannot be lived in, and it is dilapidated. It doesn’t look good after all. Uncle San helps find a craftsman, and we pay for the labor and materials.”

The third uncle said: "You two are really promising, but you don't need to find a craftsman for such a small matter. Our Wu family has plenty of people. I am a good hand at building houses, so just find a few more. You don't have to pay the wages. You pay for it." Just a few bucks."

Wu Song had already estimated that it would not take much money to renovate the house and add a fence to the lotus pond. A total of ten taels of silver would be enough.

Wu Song took out 15 taels of silver and gave it to the third uncle, saying: "Then the third uncle will worry about it. When the weather is warmer, we will build a shed by the lotus pond for the little goose to live in."

The third uncle said: "Don't worry about your two brothers, I promise you will do well."

The family narrated the pain of parting without further ado.

At noon, the third uncle said: "Da Zhuang, look at your brothers Da Lang and Er Lang, they are all developed, and you don't even have a daughter-in-law yet."

Da Zhuang: "I, what's wrong with me." Da Zhuang was speechless, and his father didn't say that usually, but said, "Don't be like that Wu Erlang, fight and fight all day long."

Of course, Da Zhuang's head is not lacking in tendons, so he won't talk about his father.

The third uncle said: "Erlang, he is not young anymore, he is twenty. He has no daughter-in-law and no future. You take him with you? Let him go to serve as a soldier for a month, and he can get two pennies of money. ?”
