Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 55
As soon as Tang Hang entered the courtyard, he was surrounded by enthusiastic people, and asked him about his experience in Southeast County.
“Brother found sweet potatoes?” Pei Yunxiao was still more concerned about eating.
Tang Hang took the big wooden box he had brought back into the house and opened it: “It’s all here.”
Everyone immediately looked at it.
I saw that the box was like a cornucopia, full of strange things, as if there were everything, all of which were unknown things.
“This is the sweet potato.”
Tang Hang took out an oiled paper bag and opened it. It was something resembling preserved fruit: “To be precise, this is how sweet potatoes look after they are dried. This is a special way for people in Southeast County to keep the food fresh. It can be eaten for a long time.”
Han Shaozhen took a piece curiously, put it in his mouth and bit it. At first it seemed tasteless, but gradually, a faintly sweet aftertaste encroached on the taste buds: “It’s really edible!”
As soon as the voice fell, four or five hands appeared on the oil paper bag. In the blink of an eye, the dried sweet potatoes in the bag disappeared.
Pei Yunxiao also took a whole slice and ate it politely. Although she didn’t like sweet potatoes very much, but…eat, don’t pick!
“Brother Zikuan, what is this thing?” Shen Siqi pointed to a small intricate wooden plaque in the wooden box.
Tang Hang picked it up and put it on the table gently, and the light fragrance spread out a little bit. The simple and elegant color of the plaque combined with the simple blue pattern decorations caught everyone’s attention.
“This is the screen I saw in the market in Southeast County. At first glance, I thought it matched Brother Yu Xian, so I bought it. Brother Yu Xian loves screens. I heard that this kind of wood is not a bargain People come in, it’s rare to see the Dali. Seeing that this screen is exquisitely made and has an extraordinary bearing, I bought it and gave it to Brother Yu Xian.”
After Tang Heng finished speaking, Shen Siqi himself was stunned.
“Send me?” This thing is very valuable at first glance, so valuable, how can he ask for it?
“Brother Yu Xian has been taking care of him in the academy a lot, and he should be a thank you.” Tang Heng said, “But I am not grateful for anything. It is just the friendship between you and my classmates, traveling far away, and giving a gift from Brother Yu Xian. Love, of course.”
After saying this, Shen Siqi couldn’t find a reason to refuse. He really loved the screen and had to accept it happily.
Pei Yunxiao was secretly speechless when she watched from the side.
This is the lobular red sandalwood that was once used by the royal family in the present history. I don’t know where Tang Hang found it.
When Tang Heng became a shareholder of the champion Suofang, he was gaining gold every day, and now he is really rich in wealth.
There are one and two. Since Tang Hang gave a screen to Shen Siqi, it proves that the other people also have gifts.
What Xie Ying received was the well-known brocade ink from Southeast County, and the picture of Guanlan Linhai was carved on the ink block.
Xie Ying is keen to collect all kinds of famous ink, but because of her family background, she can only find some scraps. When she receives this exquisite ink, she also loves it very much.
Qin Dongxiang has a lot of research on all kinds of tea. Tang Hang gave him the famous Wuxiushan black tea in Southeast County.
Only the royal family could drink this kind of superb tea, and when Tang Hang gave it, it was a can of top-grade tea.
Qin Dongxiang excitedly didn’t know what to say, so he had to ask him where he got it and how much he had spent.
“Brother Jingwen don’t care. This tea was given by a tea house owner I accidentally saved. Unfortunately, it was Chen tea from last year. The taste is a little different.” Tang Hang said indifferently.
“It’s not bad, it’s not bad.” Qin Dongxiang held the jar tightly, as if someone was going to grab him.
“Zikuan gave it to our hearts, let me guess what you plan to give me.” Han Shaozhen was not very polite: “…isn’t it an abacus?”
Tang Hang laughed and shook his head regretfully, “Sure enough, I can’t hide anything from Brother Rong Qing’s eyes.”
As he said, he took out a long lacquer box from the wooden box and opened it, and an abacus strung with agate beads came into view.
Han Shaozhen has always boasted that he has seen a lot of good things, and any rare and exotic treasures seem to him to be unremarkable. But he was still fascinated by the full and moist agate beads.
“This is the agate, I saw it once at the Prime Minister’s mansion before.” Han Shaozhen said: “Thank you, I am very pleased with this gift. When I get to the capital, I will give you a good horse!”
“Okay, then I’ll wait!” Tang Hang replied.
“Hey, this thing looks weird and strange.” Han Shaozhen pointed to a transparent and colorful wine cup on the side.
Tang Hang glanced at Pei Yunxiao and said, “It’s a colored glaze lamp, which is said to be a rare treasure evenly obtained by a southeast county firing craftsman. I don’t know what Brother Zhao likes. Seeing this item is rare, I bought it without authorization.”
Han Shaozhen blinked.
Before, Zhao Xizhe dangled in front of Xiao Qi while Tang Hang was not there. But I don’t know what happened in these two days, and I can’t see anyone.
Pei Yunxiao’s expression is also somewhat subtle. She looked back at Tang Heng, and only the two of them could understand the secret words in her eyes.
Because of being assassinated by Liang Qi, although she didn’t want to, she was still wary of Zhao Xizhe.
Coupled with the words that Tang Hang said before, she deliberately talked with Zhao Xizhe a few days ago, saying, “The friendship between gentlemen is as water as water”, no matter how deep the friendship is, we should leave some space for each other.
I think it might be because she said those words so hard that it hurt Zhao Xizhe. Pei Yunxiao also felt a little guilty in the past two days.
“Brother, can I give this Liulizhan to Brother Zhao? I think he should like it.” Pei Yunxiao wanted to take this opportunity to apologize to Zhao Xizhe.
“Yes.” Tang Hang nodded lightly. After all, they are all friends, so there is no need to make a fuss too much.
“This one belongs to Brother Xiao.” Tang Heng opened another brocade box.
Pei Yunxiao has been expecting what Tang Hang will give her.
Just now it was red sandalwood, glazed glaze, and agate. Although the prices of these things are now cheaper than later generations, the total number is also considerable.
“This is…?”
In the box, there is a concubine jade pendant that is no more than half the size of the palm.
The jade pendant is bright and smooth in color and smooth in texture. When viewed from different angles under light, the color will change differently.
It is not surprising that the concubine-colored jade is extremely rare. The most surprising thing is that the jade pendant has naturally formed bamboo patterns, flowing water and flying birds, as if it were artificially carved.
It can be carved manually, and it is always a loss of craftsmanship, and the lines on the jade pendant in front of you can be described as moving clouds and flowing water, exquisite and natural.
Girl, there is no one who doesn’t like such delicate and beautiful things. Pei Yunxiao’s eyes are straight, and he doesn’t even dare to reach out to pick it up.
“When I saw this jade pendant, I felt that it was very suitable for Brother Xiao, but this color…” Tang Hang said.
Bamboo means emptiness, softness and rigidity.
Flowing water, clear and clean, flows endlessly.
Asuka, with lofty ambitions, yearning for freedom.
Each stroke, as if tailor-made, is a portrayal of Pei Yunxiao in Tang Heng’s heart.
Pei Yunxiao took it gently and watched Yu Pei lying on his hand.
There seemed to be a faint soft light around the jade pendant, and the concubine-colored jade made her skin better than snow. Pei Yunxiao couldn’t help shaking his head: “No, the color is just right! Very good!”
“Little brother Xiao likes it.” Tang Heng felt relieved.
He thought that ordinary men would not like such bright colors.
After giving the gifts, Tang Heng came up with the only goal of the trip—the sweet potato pieces that can be planted with seedlings.
The large bags are all carefully selected by Tang Hang and the sweet potato farmers in Southeast County. They are disease-free and harmless, and are most suitable for sprouts and seedlings.
“Where does Zikuan plan to grow this sweet potato?” Xie Ying had just eaten dried sweet potato and thought it was a good thing, and it would surely solve Wuzhou’s current problems.
“I haven’t figured it out yet.” Tang Hang said.
In fact, he caught a spot in the shady field in the academy.
Although it is a bit smaller, the soil there is fertile and all conditions are good. It is also the academy’s own land, and it is also idle on weekdays.
If he can really grow sweet potatoes, not only he, but also the academy is a merit.
Pei Yunxiao knew Tang Hang too well. She knew at a glance that Tang Heng had taken a fancy to the academy’s fields, and she couldn’t help but feel gratified.
Tang Hang in the original book is cruel.
It is damned if others bear him. Others should help him.
His reward is only a charity after becoming a winner or a superior, not a reward.
But today’s Tang Hang is clearly grudges and grudges, knowing his grievances. He can show no mercy to blood relatives, but he will be grateful for the friendship of classmates, and always remember the affection for teachers and students.
Pei Yunxiao’s heart suddenly rises with infinite pride and pride. The credit for this must be half of her own!
“Brother, why don’t you ask the head of the academy if you can rent out the idle field at the back of the academy for our experiment?” Pei Yunxiao suggested.
“However, my brother has too many potato pieces. The sweet potato seedlings have to be raised a certain distance, and the field is not enough. I just happened to buy some fields outside the city, which can also be rented to my brother.”
If he said directly to Tang Heng, he would naturally not want it, so Pei Yunxiao directly said to rent it.
“When did Xiao Qi buy land in Wuzhou?”
“Brother Xiao also knows the essence of planting sweet potatoes?”
As soon as Pei Yunxiao’s voice fell, Han Shaozhen and Tang Heng simultaneously asked their questions that they were most concerned about.
“It’s the field that the Wang family vomited before, but the conditions are not very good.” Pei Yunxiao explained: “As for planting sweet potatoes, I also found out after reading the book “The Wonders of Kyushu.”
“Sweet potatoes do not have high requirements for soil and water conditions. I think we can use the fertile fields behind the academy and plant them at the same time as the barren fields in my hands, so that we can better test the adaptability of sweet potatoes and promote planting in the future.”
“This is a good suggestion!” Shen Siqi agreed, “Zikuan and Yifei, take me with you when the time comes, and we will grow the sweet potatoes by ourselves!”
“Yes! And me!” The others echoed in unison.
Five teenagers, who were not in their teens, made the first decision in their lives to change the world.
