With a "crash", a big watermelon was lifted out of the well. Li Xun took it hard and moved it to the table under the big tree by the road. He picked up the knife next to it and thrust it into it. With a click, it was in the middle of the watermelon. A big hole was split, and two black seeds popped out from the inside.
After a few more knives, the whole watermelon was divided into pieces.
Zhang Xiaobao picked up two pieces first, and after handing Wang Juan one piece, he opened his mouth to bite it down, "Sweet, don't put anything here. Normally ripe watermelon is really sweet."
While speaking, Zhang Xiaobao raised his head and breathed out, looking very comfortable.
Wang Juan also took a big bite, rubbing his mouth with red juice on both sides, squinting his eyes with satisfaction, and said, "I finally ate it. I didn’t put anything else in it. It’s delicious. It’s refreshing and thirst quenching. Our shaved ice can also be made. It tastes like watermelon."
Li Xun ate a lot more quietly, bit by bite, and heard Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's words, and asked questioningly: "Xiaobao, is there anything else that can be put in this cold melon?"
"Yes, you can put candies, you can make some red things, pick them off in advance, and cover them with a cover. We don’t need this. There should be a lot of it in your house, right? Bring two carts over tomorrow and eat this melon for a while. When it's over, don't throw away the skins, don't throw away the melon seeds, and keep them for making things to eat."
It is not easy for Zhang Xiaobao to eat a bite of melon, especially the first melon, which is of commemorative significance. He is going to mix the green part of the melon with a cold dish.
Li Xun hesitated, "This melon has been bitten by others, and then I can make some vegetables, isn't it a bit bad?"
"Cut off the bitten area first, make the rest, make it into a cold dish and chill it with some sugar and vinegar. It's sour and sweet. You don't want to eat it. Don't grab it with us then."
After Zhang Xiaobao said this sentence, he said aloud again, eating piece by piece, regardless of whether he could eat his stomach or not, until he couldn't eat anymore, then he stopped, rubbing his hands back and forth on his stomach, and occasionally hitting. Burp full.
Wang Juan didn’t eat less, but fortunately he saw Zhang Xiaobao’s appearance and controlled it in advance. He didn’t get hold of it. He put down the melon peel in his hand, washed his face and hands in the prepared basin next to him, and walked chanting slogans to the road. The positive person said loudly:
"Train well, wait a while after the training is over, I will give you melons, use the melons from Jingshui Town, eat a bite, it is sweet to my heart."
It’s better if she doesn’t shout. The fifty-six people can hold on. After the shouting, the tiger among the fifty-six people can’t stand it at first. He kept chanting slogans just now, and he had to follow the same way. The smoke is out, and when I hear melons eaten, I feel that the sun above my head is a bit bigger, my feet sink a bit, and I'm struggling for my breath.
This is already the fifth training. For five consecutive days, I thought I could survive very easily, but on the first day I was exhausted. In the next few days, the requirements became more and more strict, and the days became more and more severe. hot.
Before the instructor was appointed, the four people from Yushu Village came to report. They hadn't practiced well, so naturally they couldn't become instructors. They could only train with forty people, and Huzi was responsible for chanting slogans.
It's been an hour today, and it hasn't stopped yet, making everyone almost collapsed. The clothes on their bodies are already soaked. The walkable movement is not standard. If you say, turn left, one-third of the people turn left. In the wrong direction, Wang Juan was very dissatisfied.
So let them drink some mung bean porridge and practice for another half an hour before they can rest for a while. Now Wang Juan is still calling for them to eat watermelon, and everyone feels fire is coming up in their hearts.
Li Xun was also watching. He really couldn't understand what Wang Juan was going to do, what kind of training the idea was that Wang Juan came up with, and he also let him do those actions. In Li Xun's view, this action is not as good as a soldier's exercise. He didn't wear any armor on his body, and didn't hold any weapons in his hands. He just walked back and forth there, seemingly unable to train troops.
With doubts in his mind, Li Xun wiped his hands with a towel and asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "You are training the army? Then you can't use this method, it's useless. When you really encounter a war, these people don't even have weapons. Know how to use it."
"Where is there any army? Just let them stand in a row to look interesting and tidy. Then they will go out to support the scene. If we don't fight, we won't be able to fight. They are far away from the places where we can fight."
Naturally, Zhang Xiaobao would not tell Li Xun that these people would be specially used to protect King Zhang's family in the future. Now this kind of training is not training combat effectiveness, but cultivating cohesion and a firm attitude to the execution of orders, while also cultivating willpower.
Just a casual explanation.
If someone else said that, Li Xun would believe it, but what Zhang Xiaobao said must be carefully considered. He suspects that there are traces of the expert behind these people's training. If this is the case, it must have deep meaning. It seems that I have to learn too.
Thinking of this, I asked: "These are the commands? Are there any other people? I will go and let people practice and play, and then see if the people I train are walking together, or if you guys are neat."
"Oh? Young Master Li wants to learn too? Okay, then I will compare it with each other, and there are still some passwords that can’t be taught now. They haven’t figured it out yet. If you add more, they will get messier. Write back. Some passwords, draw the picture above for you, what happened to our supermarket
The place in Huayuan County has not been repaired yet. It is under repair. When we came back from Sanshui County, we took a look. We have already delivered the goods. You came here to pass by. Did you go in and have a look? "
"Go, don’t mention it. It opened yesterday. I went to watch it yesterday. It happened because of the opportunity of the game there. There were indeed a lot of people who entered. Things, but there is an ordinary people's family, I saw her go to the meat shop and buy one or two at a time.
It’s okay. Let’s sell one or two. Don’t we usually wrap it with greased paper when others are buying things, and finally give it a paper pocket for easy access? She actually bought a pound of meat in a row, every time it’s one pound. Two, ten pieces of grease paper and ten twine were used, and ten pockets were taken from the supermarket.
What is this called? What is the use of tossing others? In the end, I asked people to ask. You can't guess why she took those paper pockets. She said that she went home to practice calligraphy for her son and ran to us to get paper. "
Li Xun was a little depressed and talked about what he saw in the supermarket. In addition to buying a catty of meat in ten portions, there are also some people who sell other things. For example, when buying rice, there are people who are careful. Picking one by one, and even more, even trying to steal things while there are so many people.
Fortunately, some individuals were arranged to follow others in to pretend to buy things, and they were also put in key places to watch. There was a scholar who was caught stealing sausages. It was even more annoying that he brought them with him when he came in. The reason is that some people do not take it out, and eat directly there.
Zhang Xiaobao had no foundation in his heart. After listening to Li Xun's words, he thought about it and said: "It seems that our rules have to be changed. In the future, the paper pockets will be made more refined. They will be sold for each penny. I really want to buy it. Things can be bought for a penny without anyone holding the basket.
The other kind of people who go in and out ten times back and forth, if you want to buy, bring your own guy and give him at most two greased papers. No need to think about the pocket. There are also some places to eat. If you want to buy it, you can send more people. , Pay directly there, as for the things you brought in and grabbed, it’s not that there is no place to store them. "
"Don't mention storage. Many people are not going to buy things, they just want to go in and see something fresh, but they ran to the storage place with a live chicken. It was not easy to manage at all. Put a few chicken coops everywhere? What if someone drives a pig over?"
Li Xun was also very dissatisfied with the deposit.
Zhang Xiaobao was speechless at this moment, and could only sigh for the intrepidity of those people.
Wang Juan said next to him: "After that, it will be stipulated that no living things will be stored, regardless of whether the things will be broken when they are stored. They can be stored for one day at most, more than one day. If the depositor does not want it, the supermarket will handle it. , Otherwise, someone deposits two catties of tofu and doesn’t come to pick it up for some time, won’t it become stinky tofu?"
"Wang Juan is right. We can't do things right all at once, just look at it a little bit, find a way to solve the problem, find more people to discuss, then we can complete the supermarket, what about the ship? "
Zhang Xiaobao also reported his thoughts on what might happen.
Li Xun just sighed that he couldn't tear down the supermarket because the stuff in it was cheap. Yesterday he saw many people line up to buy things. Whether it was pictures and novelties, or really needed them, just buy them, and wait for everyone to gradually. If you get used to this place, you will be able to buy things later.
After listening to Zhang Xiaobao’s question about the shipping company, he was finally not as depressed as just now, and said happily: "I have found a few people who are willing to do business together. After Mi Fan was put back, he took good care of the shipping line. A few people who are good at boat craftsmanship were sent to the dock of the press to do things.
The big ship has already begun to be built. Judging from that speed, it is possible to enter the sea next summer. Now you cannot go too far, and can only turn around where the Yellow River enters the sea. "
"Then rest assured, Mi Fan, remember that you must take him when you go out to sea. If you find him uncomfortable, then the people on the boat must be careful. The three workshops and the craftsman’s school built by them are Isn't there a lot of people who came to sign up, and a lot of them came from outside?"
Zhang Xiaobao was planning to do a major event. He was afraid of being caught up in other things, so he had to ask one by one, and he could see where he needed to deal with some things personally.
"Yes, there are indeed a lot of people who sign up there, especially foreigners, who are much more than locals. After all, you don’t need to spend money to learn a craft, and you have money to get it." Li Xun said of the craftsman’s school. , Very excited, here is his copy.
