After the apprentice left, Steward Zhang still had a lot of questions in his heart. Why did the young master spend so much money to get someone to do this? Why did he have to seal his mouth? Could it be that this thing was related to something important?
After thinking for a while, Steward Zhang still couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up. Thinking that the young master and the young master wanted to get a few rabbits, he immediately ordered someone to arrange for them to be bought. He didn't know what was so good about these rabbits.
The rabbits were brought first. Zhang Xiaobao called Wang Juan to the place where the rabbits were kept. He said to Wang Juan, "Didn't you always ask why I can dodge the sniper's attack? In fact, there are only two reasons. One is that I love life too much. I have to live to fulfill the last wish of the headmaster, so when I encounter danger, I always have a premonition.
The other reason is that I learned from an old man in prison. He asked me to watch the rabbits. When the rabbits change directions while running, they give people an illusion. During the process of changing directions, you can feel several postures. One is to move left and right, one is to suddenly accelerate, one is to suddenly stop, and the last one is to turn over. "
"Turn over? It's stupid. Usually, when rabbits run like this, it's when they encounter danger. It turns over and waits to be caught? " In the beginning, Wang Juan listened carefully and nodded from time to time. However, when she heard the later part, she felt that something was wrong.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said, "When a rabbit turns over, it's not waiting to be caught. At that time, it's a fight to the death. Whether it lives or dies, it's decided in an instant. When a rabbit kicks an eagle, it can kick the eagle to death. Usually, there are three situations. One is that the eagle doesn't kick, and the rabbit dies. Two is that the eagle has already caught the rabbit, and the rabbit and the eagle die together. The last one is that the eagle is kicked away.
As for whether it would die or not, that would depend on the eagle's body. Basically, an eagle that was kicked by a rabbit wouldn't live for long even if it didn't die immediately. What I learned was not only how to avoid snipers, but also how to deal with enemies and paralyze them. "
This time, Wang Juan did not refute. She knew about this as well. Although it was rare, if it really did happen, Eagle would definitely not be able to survive. Even the weakest thing could kill a strong enemy. This could also be called an asymmetrical war. As long as I have a few atomic bombs and hide them well, you won't dare to do anything to me. The smaller the country, the greater the deterrence.
"Xiao Bao, what does your master do? They actually let you observe these things? "Wang Juan was now curious about the people in Zhang Xiaobao's prison.
"Nothing much. He's more than 120 years old. He used to be a little monk on the mountain. After that incident, everything was broken. He was also an orphan, so he could only walk around and see. He was satisfied with just a bite of food. After that, he started to read people's fortunes."
"Oh, so he didn't calculate correctly and was seen through." Wang Juan said.
"Wrong. He was locked up because he calculated correctly. If he didn't calculate correctly, he would be fined some money. He had to read the fortunes of a provincial capital's executive deputy mayor. In the end, he said that the evils of heaven can be forgiven, but the evils brought on by oneself are the hardest to bear." Zhang Xiaobao explained.
"He said bad things about others, so he was locked up? If it were me, I would also lock him up. "Wang Juan also disliked this kind of thing.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan and shook his head. "No, the executive deputy mayor was taken away. There was a set time and place to explain the problem. In the end, the deputy mayor wasn't fighting alone. He had a small family. When the people in the family heard about this, they blamed my master. Why didn't he help when he knew of the danger and sent him to prison?"
"Oh, I see. Forget it. Let's watch the rabbits." Wang Juan couldn't do anything about this matter. If she hadn't come over and knew about this matter, she might have done something. She would only get people out of prison. She couldn't attack people's families.
Otherwise, her family would also stop her. After all, she wouldn't get any practical benefits from attacking others. It wasn't worth it to make enemies for no reason. She understood that society was so realistic. From ancient times to the present, from her own country to foreign countries, nothing had changed. When the presidential election could be controlled, what was democracy?
Wang Juan observed the rabbits while Zhang Xiaobao asked people to look for coal. This thing had been discovered long ago, but he didn't know where to find it. When it was used, it wasn't very active. However, he wanted it. Heat, happiness and disaster needed it.
"Xiao Bao, is this rabbit sick? Why doesn't it like to move? I've been staring at it for an hour, and it hasn't moved much. "Wang Juan turned to look at Zhang Xiaobao and asked.
"I'm not a doctor. I don't know if it's sick. There are so many rabbits, why do you have to stare at it? I didn't find you a rabbit to let you learn medicine, but to let you observe how their center of gravity changes when they run. "
After hearing Wang Juan's words, Zhang Xiaobao felt a little helpless. At the same time, he complained to the housekeeper. Why did you get a sick rabbit?
"Well, I won't look at it. Let's look at the other rabbits. Let the veterinarian on Zhuangzi come over and take a look. At least it can't die in front of me. It's so pitiful. If it really can't make it, remember to leave the rabbit's skin for me. I want to make a small cushion." Wang Juan said with a look of pity.
Zhang Xiaobao and Pomegranate heard the whole sentence and didn't know what to say. If they had to use a word to describe it, it would be bloody kindness. Pomegranate had long been numb, but Zhang Xiaobao felt a little scared. After sleeping together for so many days, they were still alive. He had to say that they were lucky.
"Xiao Bao, what's wrong with your eyes? I pity it because it's still alive, but it's dead. Are you still going to pity it? Then don't sleep with me at night. Be careful. " Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and knew what he was thinking. She felt that she was not understood, so she said angrily.
Zhang Xiaobao naturally understood this principle, so he quickly explained, "I don't mean anything else. I just feel that your way is correct. I'm actually thinking that if this rabbit meat can't spread any diseases, we can eat it together with other meat. When rabbit meat is put together with other people's meat, the taste will change."
*****
Another morning arrived. The apprentice brought the drawing over in the morning and promised that he wouldn't tell anyone about it and would forget about it immediately. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and leave.
After Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew about this matter, they hurriedly ate breakfast and came to the place where the drawing was placed. The two of them looked at it and were satisfied.
"It's a pity that we don't have corn. Otherwise, it would be better to use that to make it." Wang Juan touched this thing with her hand and said regretfully.
"But we have rice and soybeans. These two things can also be used to make popcorn. Why don't we make some soybeans ourselves? We can just buy rice from outside and sell it for one copper coin per big bag. Isn't that cheap?" Zhang Xiaobao was also happy at the side. Seeing that Wang Juan insisted on corn, he suggested big popcorn.
A big bag of rice wasn't much in practical use. However, when it was sold, it looked like a lot. One bag of rice for one copper coin. Not only would people not think it was expensive, but they would also think it was cheap. If they wanted to make more money, they could glue the big popcorn with sugar and cut it into small cubes. One copper coin for two cubes, which were sweet and crispy.
Wang Juan didn't object to Zhang Xiaobao's price. Unlike salt and grains, popcorn wasn't a necessity for survival. If they were willing to buy it, they wouldn't think it was expensive. One copper coin for one big bag could last them for half a day. It really wasn't too expensive.
"Now that you agree, we can start to make the popcorn. I don't know how much the pressure resistance of this thing is. Find someone to hide far away and try it. Don't let anything happen." When Zhang Xiaobao saw Wang Juan's expression, he knew that she also agreed to sell the popcorn at one copper coin per bag. One bag of popcorn was already a lot. It couldn't be 0.5 copper coins per bag, right?
When the popcorn was made, they had to find someone to experiment with it. They asked someone to find a long bamboo pole and insert it into the cradle behind the popcorn machine. They used this to shake it. Every once in a while, they would ask someone wearing thick clothes to pop the popcorn over there to see how the popcorn was. If it was a little off, then they would continue to add time. If it was just right, then they would remember this time. It would be the same in the future.
After several experiments, they finally found the right time. No one was injured, which made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan very happy.
After popping more than a dozen pots in a row, they filled two gunny bags. Apart from leaving some for the two main courtyards to eat, they were given to the farmers to taste. In total, there were only a few catties of rice. The cost was low, so they didn't care how much they gave away.
The person in charge of popcorn knew that it was a secret without needing to be told. He brought the popcorn to his place and wouldn't let others see it easily.
The farmers didn't know that the cost of popcorn was low. When they ate the sweet and crispy popcorn, they felt that the main house had given them a lot of money. In their eyes, popcorn became precious.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also had a big box in front of them. Inside was a big box filled with popcorn. Both of them couldn't stop eating. It wasn't because the popcorn was delicious, but because they had a nostalgic feeling while eating.
"Xiao Hong and the others have been gone for a long time. I don't know if they encountered any trouble. Until now, they haven't sent back any news. It's the same for County Magistrate Cheng. This feeling of not being able to get any news is really uncomfortable." Zhang Xiaobao put his head into the box. After eating a mouthful of popcorn, he raised his head and said helplessly.
"That's right. This information is just information. Whoever has more information, and who has more information in time, will have more ways to deal with it. What's that saying again? Oh, it's' what I want to know the most is what's on the other side of the mountain. '"Wang Juan could also understand Zhang Xiaobao's feelings.
"What can be used to transmit information quickly? I'm talking about the current world. "Zhang Xiaobao said to himself.
"Carrier pigeons. Unfortunately, I don't know how to raise one. I didn't learn how to do that," Wang Juan replied.
