As night falls, the moon is not so round today, so the stars in the sky appear to be brighter.

Tian Mancang and Xu Lin moved a jar of wine, filled it with five kilograms, and made a few more dishes, and stayed under a pile of grain in Changping Warehouse.

When it is hot, there is no need to burn wine. After placing a few ropes made of wormwood, there will be fewer mosquitoes when the smoke is shrouded in smoke. However, you should pay attention to fire prevention and do not allow open fire on the wormwood rope, and you should not stick it on the grain pile.

Actually, it’s okay to post it. As long as the two of them don’t drink too much, it’s difficult to burn the entire grain pile if they slightly fire.

If you burn, you should first burn the mat outside. Once the mat is burned, grain will continue to flow out inside, press the fire down directly, and then smoke. If this pile of grain is just smoke, it will not be burned for half a month unless it is pouring oil on it and then lit open fire in different places around it.

Because the grain is not that dry, if you don’t believe it, you can find a pile of wheat or rice with shells, and then use a match to see how long it takes to light the pile of grain into a bonfire.

With the patrolman there, Xu Lin and his two were not worried at all. There was no strong wind tonight, and the fragrance of the wine and food rose straight into their noses.

"It smells so good. Come to Brother Tian, ​​have a drink first." Xu Lin picked up a two-cent wine cup and said to Tian Mancang.

Tian Mancang also picked up the wine cup and gently touched the two of them.

"Tskhuh" Tian Mancang twitched his mouth and slowly exhaled his breath, feeling his stomach immediately became hot, and part of the alcohol came out of his nostrils, making him feel comfortable.

"Good wine, but unfortunately it's hard to buy. Maorong, where did you buy it?" Tian Mancang praised, picked up a deer whip and threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Xu Lin picked up a cucumber and replied while dipping it in the sauce: "Of course it is a good wine. How could Xiaobao and Juanjuan sell bad things? They don't sell wines that are less than two years old. Drinking new wines is harmful to the body. You won't be afraid of this kind of wine every small cup a day, especially when you put medicine on it.

They never sell strong liquor, and they don’t sell those with a degree of less than fifty. And they are all sold in the Tang Dynasty. Some of them are for restaurants and some for merchants. Otherwise, they will focus on selling in one place, and local people will not need to make wine. Be kind and righteous."

"Okay, don't say kind, we all understand. They are kind only if you don't make mistakes. You bought your wine from the wine merchant? I didn't have it when I went there this year." Tian Mancang filled the wine cups with the two of them again, and stopped pouring the wine when it was about to overflow, urging Xu Lin to tell where the wine came from.

Xu Lin drank another cup and then said, "This year their family has no stock. When the soldiers in front of me were transporting wine, I happened to take my brothers and I walked along the roadside with them. I saw that their car was struggling and it was raining. So I went to help and did the work for the afternoon. Where did you buy what they gave?"

"You said you bought it before." Tian Mancang looked for a problem.

"The people in the Yaspers were not the same as what they did last time. All of us agreed. When others asked, they said they bought it, otherwise they would have to leave and drink it all."

Xu Lin was not embarrassed, and said his little thoughts calmly, and grabbed a braised pig and kicked it hard.

Tian Mancang drank the wine in the cup and then filled it. At this time, you can't continue drinking, you have to eat. Otherwise, you will not want to eat until the end and feel uncomfortable with alcohol.

Moreover, you must be very full when pouring wine, especially when drinking small cups, otherwise you will inhale the air when drinking, which makes people disgusting. Drinking is different from drinking tea. There is no problem with inhaling tea, so you must hold your breath and exhale after drinking. Of course, the kind of people who eat rice and white wine are not allowed.

"No wonder, when it comes to giving the soldiers a drink, the news on the front line has not been back recently. Unlike before, there are new things in the newspaper every day. Tell me about the previous situation. I read the newspaper today, but there is no latest news at all. Just as the last time, the advertisements have been changed a lot."

Tian Mancang said casually, his mood didn't look very good.

Xu Lin sighed: "I am also worried about the soldiers in front of me. I guess it was too deep and the telegram could not be connected. Think about it, the environment there is so complicated, and there is something thunder and rain, and the signal is not good, so the person responsible for the transit needs to hide.

I am already very satisfied with my life, and I hope that our Tang Dynasty will become more powerful. Like the real thing some time ago, I dare to come and bully our people. What will happen in the end? Our Tang Dynasty's meteor team has been dispatched. If I don't report it in the newspaper, I don't know that there is such a unit in the Tang Dynasty.

When I have the opportunity in the future, my family will have more money. I will take my family out for a walk, see whales, and places with koalas. People will live their lives and only walk at their own doorstep. What a pity."

Xu Lin was talking and remembered his friend who had been playing with him since childhood. As a result, the boy ran to the boat and came back three times. He brought things back from outside every time and then showed off in front of him. Fortunately, he still remembered to give it to him after showing off, otherwise he would break up with him.

But as long as he listens to what is happening outside, people yearn for different scenery, different animals and plants, as well as the local natives there, fishing behind while sailing, and life is indeed colorful.

Xu Lin's words made Tian Mancang also have a yearning thought, but he shook his head helplessly: "I can't do it. I am an official. I can't bear to leave unless I resign the official."

"I can't bear to be an official either. Hey, Brother Tian, ​​look, are there a snake over there? Two." Xu Lin was just talking, and found that there were two long strips moving more than ten meters under the moonlight.

Tian Mancang looked over and nodded: "Yes, grass snakes, probably came out to find mice to eat. They also have to eat, unlike winter, which can hibernate. I wondered, what if there was no place for winter? For example, on an island in Luzhou, I heard that winter is also very hot."

"It's not hibernating, it's not cold, just like a bear. The bear in the north hibernates, and the bear paws are delicious, while the bear paws in the south are much worse. Brother Tian, ​​are you sure to raise snakes? If you keep them well, can you take a few more months off? It's a reward for you, and you can take your family out on a boat to play. Don't go too far, just a place you can get back in two or three months."

Speaking of the snake, Xu Lin began to give Tian Mancang the advice that as long as he made meritorious service, the court would definitely reward him, including those with official positions, wealth, and those with vacation.

If the snake is well maintained, other places can also learn from it. How much grain can it save every year in countless grain warehouses in the Tang Dynasty? In addition, if the snake is sold too much, you don’t have to pay this part of the money. It is for a person who often closes the position and has an additional income. You will naturally have a good mood. The court is happy to see it.

Tian Mancang's eyes were always on the swimming snake. He didn't take his eyes back when the two snakes turned around and disappeared behind another pile of grain. He drank another cup of wine and spit out a word: "有."

"Brother Tian will definitely succeed. I'll congratulate you first." Xu Lin said congratulations, but his eyes looked at Tian Mancang without blinking.

Of course, Tian Mancang knew what the other party wanted, and said with a smile: "Maorong. Raising snakes is not my own business, I have to ask for your help."

"What are your instructions for Brother Tian? I must do my best." Xu Lin laughed and knew that his benefits were coming.

"We often close the snakes. Maorong, you have to find a good player for us. There are also snakes. There are obviously not enough snakes in the grain warehouse. I am worried about being cheated if I buy them from outside. I have to bother you. I also thought that owls also eat rats, so..."

"Brother Tian, ​​no, owls eat rats. But they also eat snakes. They cannot be kept together." Xu Lin hurriedly reminded that if these two things are raised together, only owls will be left in the end.

Tian Mancang suddenly realized and laughed: "Yes, you can't raise them together. Then raise them separately."

"Brother Tian, ​​an owl is different from a snake. It can fly. Snakes crawl. You raise snakes in the grain warehouse. There is a ditch outside. You can control the shooting. How big a net do you need to pull out on the owl? It's okay to just eat rats, but it eats a lot. What should I do if I eat other people's home-raised poultry?"

Xu Lin had to continue reminding.

"I'm confused about drinking, I'm confused about drinking, I'm confused about drinking, I'm not raising any more. If I don't raise owls, I'll raise snakes. Brother, you're right. Snakes are actually eating chickens, but they can be kept in one place and surf the Internet. You have to pay attention to the acquisition of snakes, brother."

Tian Mancang smiled embarrassedly, and made up his mind about raising snakes in Changping Cang Grain Warehouse. He really raised his meritorious service, and he would be promoted and earned money. He would have more holidays to take his family out for a walk.

Needless to say, it's better to go too far, even if you go to Luzhou and see the bright moon rising on the sea and share the scenery at this end of the world.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt it made sense. With the wine I drank, Tian Mancang began to get drunk, but he was not drunk, but he was just comfortable, the dishes were more delicious, the wine became more mellow, and the moonlight was more charming.

After eating some more vegetables, Tian Mancang asked Xu Lin: "Brother, where do you think there are many snakes here? It's not poisonous. I don't want to run out and bite the child. Then, I will be promoted to the church."

"Don't worry, Brother Tian, ​​I promise to find you a complete list of unpoisonous snakes, and you don't want the big ones, otherwise I'll finish if I die a child. Brother Tian wants to talk about the many snakes, but not poisonous yet. It must be Laoliushu Village, Hongnong County, where there are many willow trees, rivers, tree holes, and many small animals. It's still cool. The snake is willing to settle down there."

Xu Lin thought of a place and told Tian Mancang that if the other party agreed, he would arrange for someone to go there to collect snakes, and ask if there are any willow mushrooms, if there are any, buy them together, and go home to make them for the children.

"I know this place, Lao Liushu Village is amazing. That little girl is in her teens and is actually a seventh-rank official. Oh, from the seventh-rank, it is said that it is under the jurisdiction of the county, but who dares to manage it in the county? Willow weaving is famous, and she has grown a baby of her own. I have grown several of them in my family. My children like it and it is not expensive, so I buy it for them."

Speaking of Laoliushu Village, Tian Mancang has a great impression of it. When he thinks of the children at home, he smiles happily.

However, Xu Lin shook his head and said, "Brother Tian, ​​what you are talking about is that the old Liushu Village is bullied by the new county magistrate."

"Oh, why is this? The new county magistrate called... "

"Liu Yan, the same surname as most people in Lao Liushu Village, may be the same as the other one five hundred years ago."

"Yes, Liu Yan, I remembered that from Qianzhong Road, the former magistrate of Bajiang County, suddenly rose from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, and he didn't jump slowly. What's wrong with him?"

"It's hard to say, drink it." Xu Lin served the wine again.
