Chapter 15 Care leads to chaos

As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts.

When Zhang Qian, Tang Yifu and his entourage arrived at the depths of the canyon and dug out pieces of Khotan jade seeds under the guidance of Yang Chuan, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles and full of enthusiasm.

Whether it was Zhang Qian, the high-ranking Han envoy, or Tang Yifu, the Huns, as well as the eighteen Hu merchants and thirteen Parthian female slaves, they all began to spin around and only slept for more than two hours a day.

Even so, everyone is full of energy and tireless.

The only idle person seems to be Yang Chuan.

By the way, there is also Sister Bao and her family.

Yang Chuan's daily job is to kill cattle and sheep, roast mutton, stew beef, and occasionally change the taste and stew a large pot of fresh fish and wild vegetable soup for everyone.

As for the stone slab grilled beef tenderloin, braised beef, beef tendon with coriander, braised beef tripe with wild onions, braised beef brisket, braised beef steak, black pepper beef cubes, stir-fried beef tendon... of course I will not cook these specialty dishes.

So are those lamb signature dishes.

Before Zhang Qian, Tang Yifu and others came back, he cooked in different ways every day. On the one hand, he wanted to please Sister Bao, and on the other hand, he also wanted to practice his skills so that he could adapt as quickly as possible without chili, red oil, and tomatoes.

While waiting for ingredients, you can also cook a variety of top-quality dishes.

Now that Zhang Qian, Tang Yifu and others are back, he has to adjust his thinking.

Yang Chuan thought very clearly that he was just a little cook, and the only skill he could rely on at the moment was cooking. If he exposed too many 'hard dishes' that were hidden in the box, not only would he not be able to leave behind, but he might also be cheated by others.

Thinking about...

You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others.

In this world, he is alone, naked, alone, and helpless, just like the duckweed in the water, how can he not leave a few tricks to save his life?

Of course, even so, his roasted whole lamb, meat on hand, fat beef in clear soup, fresh fish and wild vegetable soup and other delicacies have already made Zhang Qian and others hooked and amazed...

One month passed quickly.

On this day, Yang Chuan was stewing beef. Zhang Qian told him that he would set off back to Chang'an in a dozen days and asked him to cook more beef, dry it on stone slabs and grind it into small particles to serve as food for everyone's march.

"Going back so soon?" Yang Chuan was somewhat conflicted. After all, every extra day he stayed would allow him to dig nearly a hundred more pieces of Hetian jade seeds.

Zhang Qian was also a little regretful, and said with a wry smile: "It has exceeded expectations by a lot. We have excavated too much jade seeds. How to bring them back to Chang'an is a big problem. Let's just accept it as soon as possible."

Yang Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, starting from tomorrow, I will prepare marching rations for us."

He didn't ask how much seed material he had dug in the past month, let alone how much he could allocate to himself. The crime of having a jade in his possession was just a young man of eleven or twelve years old, carrying a lot of mutton-fat jade on his back.

Were you killed by someone then?

"Yang Chuan, I will thank you later when I return to Chang'an."

Zhang Qian was also aboveboard and did not allow empty favors. He just patted Yang Chuan's slim shoulder and sighed: "You have a handsome face and a handsome face. You are a boy or a girl. You are either expensive or...precocious and wise."

tender.

Just take care of yourself."

Yang Chuan smiled and said nothing.

He didn't know what other people in the Han Dynasty were like. For an upright person like Zhang Qian, it would probably be the end of his life to be a deputy in future generations. He was too incompetent to speak.

At the same time, he also captured a 'detail': when Zhang Qian called him, the word 'ru' appeared less frequently, and the word '伱' accounted for the majority.

Yang Chuan didn't know what the subtle changes were, but it must be a good thing. Let's just assume that the relationship between the two became closer.

"By the way, Father Tang Yi wants to give you a small gift." Zhang Qian walked out a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "If you can conquer another king, a certain family will also respect you."

Yang Chuan opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a breath or two before asking: "What gift?"

Zhang Qian waved his hand and laughed: "You will know when the time comes..."

…

In the next three or four days, everyone was very busy.

Yang Chuan was busy making beef jerky, Zhang Qian and others were busy digging Khotan jade. Several Hu merchants among them went out and gathered hundreds of horses, nearly a thousand cattle, and more than 3,000 sheep to prepare

Depart at any time.

Yang Chuan has always had a question in his mind, that is, who is grazing the cattle, sheep and horses during these days?

Of course, he wouldn't ask such a stupid question. He is just a child anyway. After returning to Chang'an, even if they don't share the spoils with him, it doesn't seem to matter?

What worried him the most was, after all, Sister Bao's family.

Under his careful feeding as a breeder, these three girls became lazy and fat. They were picky when eating meat and never went out to hunt. They still looked like the kings of the snow mountain!

Especially Sister Bao, she seems to lose sleep if she doesn't hold Yang Chuan in her arms at night, it's just...

"I'm going back to Chang'an City in a few days. What will you do?"

"Sister Leopard, you have to teach Big Moo and Xiao Mao how to hunt, otherwise, those two little fools will starve to death."

"Without the Snowy Mountains in Chang'an City, you wouldn't be able to live..."

For several days, Yang Chuan spent time talking to Sister Bao and her family whenever he had time. He wanted to say everything he wanted to say, which made Sister Bao very anxious.

It seemed to sense some kind of crisis, so it began to follow Yang Chuan's butt, never leaving; its temper also became violent, and it would show its teeth at Zhang Qian, Tang Yifu and others at every turn.

In particular, the thirteen Anxi female slaves became a thorn in Sister Bao's side. Anyone who dared to say a word to Yang Chuan would be pounced on, knocking him to the ground with one paw, and almost bite him on the neck.

Every evening at dusk, Sister Bao would lie beside Yang Chuan, staring at the setting sun in trance, with a sad expression, just like a poet who committed suicide in the spring.

This made Yang Chuan very sad.

He even had the thought of "not returning to Chang'an at all".

At this moment, Tang Yi's father came and told Yang Chuan good news: "Actually, there are snow leopards in the Qinling Mountains, and because the air is moist and there is enough food, the snow leopards there are larger."

"real?!"

Yang Chuan suddenly became energetic and asked anxiously: "Are there tigers, leopards and brown bears over there? What should Sister Leopard do if she is bullied by other wild animals?"

Tang Yifu replied seriously: "There are tigers, leopards, brown bears and wild boars, and there are many of them. Your Han emperor likes hunting, and his Shanglin Garden is full of wild beasts, even elephants and rhinos."

However, as long as you don’t go down the mountain, the King of the Snow Mountain will be the master.”

Yang Chuan thought for a while, and it seemed that this was really the case. There seemed to be no wild beast that could catch up with the snow leopard in the mountains and forests.

In addition, there are actually snow-capped mountains in the Qinling Mountains. If this is not possible, you can consider buying a property at the foot of Huashan Mountain or Taibai Mountain. You can work as an official in Chang'an City, and when you retire, you can go up to the mountains to live in seclusion, regardless of spring, summer, winter and autumn.

If it really doesn't work, you can still rebel.

However, as soon as the idea came up, he killed it.

If it were Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty Liu Yan and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie, you could actually consider it; the problem is that the current emperor is called Liu Che...

As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. With Yang Chuan's forbearing and steady mind, he can handle many things calmly without changing his expression. But when Sister Bao's family is involved, he suddenly becomes confused.

Well, this is a major weakness of his, and we must pay attention to it in the future.

"By the way, what does uncle want from me?"

After the difficult problem was properly solved, Yang Chuan returned to his usual politeness and asked with a smile: "I heard that you want to give me a small gift. It won't be mutton-fat jade, right?"

Tangyi's father said angrily, "It's not jade, it's sculpture."
