The Minamida family didn't care about what the other two families thought. They were the happiest.
They didn't need to pay for labor anymore. They just needed to give them food to eat and save money on other things.
At the same time, the biggest crisis was solved. People who came to trade with them in the future would not be robbed or killed.
"Chang 'an in the Tang dynasty is like this every night. When the night ends, it becomes morning. People can go out to eat at any time."
"You can find any woman there. Unfortunately, we can't find one. We have no money. Kazuko doesn't give us money."
"Their boats don't need oars. They pedal."
"It's hot. There are many people at night. People are not allowed to carry poles or push carts to other places at night. People need to sleep."
"They have a lot of cows, horses, donkeys, and mules. They put a bag behind their butts and put their feces in the bag."
People who had been to the Tang dynasty began to tell others that even a bonfire party had to be compared to Chang 'an in the Tang dynasty.
"You've said it twice." Someone who was eating was annoyed.
"I'm afraid you can't remember. Do you know how wide the roads in Chang 'an are? From here to there … "the person continued.
Some people liked to hear it. They liked it after hearing it a few times.
For example, the wives and children of people who went to the Tang dynasty had extra gifts for their families.
Everyone had gifts. Li Yi gave them to others. He hoped to make a breakthrough here and become a stable stronghold.
Lan Bao was drawing with the smell of toilet water. He was good at drawing. He learned it when he was an apprentice.
If he couldn't even draw, how could he make all kinds of things with patterns?
Minamida Kazuko handed him tools and all kinds of rulers.
Lan Bao designed a big warehouse, drainage, feces pit, internal structure, and materials.
He was afraid that it would be destroyed in a heavy rain or a typhoon. He piled stones to make a strong warehouse. Now, he had people!
His father-in-law was drinking with people of status in the family. He didn't deal with people of status now. Those who wanted to challenge his position were taken away by him and locked up.
After he was locked up, he would be released. He must stabilize his position as the patriarch.
The wine they drank was white wine mixed with cold water. The alcohol content was very low. For people who had never drunk white wine before, drinking a few glasses could still make them drunk.
The people of the Nantian Clan were very respectful to the clan leader. After all, he had a good daughter.
"Lan Bao is busy again. He's writing and painting. The knowledge of the Tang dynasty is good. I'll go and have a look." Nameda Inayu drank a mouthful of wine and stood up to go to the side.
Actually, the distance between them was only five steps. He could just sit there and talk.
"Father-in-law!" Lan Bao heard the voice and put down his brush. He moved a stool over.
"Don't you want to eat some skewers?" Seeing that his son-in-law was satisfied, Inayu Minada sat down and asked with concern.
"I ate a little. I'll have a few more bites after I finish painting. Father-in-law, don't drink too much wine. It'll be hard for you to sleep at night."
Lan Bao replied and picked up the unfinished drawing.
"Father-in-law, please take a look. We need to build a few scattered stone warehouses. We need to dig canals outside, divided into open canals and underground canals.
There should also be water next to the food storage so that if there was a fire, it could be used to extinguish the fire.
Leave four doors open. If something really happens, open all four doors … "
Lan Bao used the simplest words to introduce, and Minamida Inayu would say 'good' from time to time, regardless of whether he understood it or not.
His purpose was not to explain how to build the warehouses. He wanted others to see that he had a good relationship with his son-in-law.
Lan Bao knew that he still had to put on an act and cooperate with his father-in-law.
Minamida Kazuko was roasting a large conch by the side. She used a grate and dipped the meat in seasoning before placing it on a plate.
The plate was made of porcelain with exquisite patterns on it. It was a gift from the Li Family Zhuangzi.
'Pa!' A sound came from the side. A child from the family went to scoop the stewed fish. He took a bowl and did not dare to throw it away. He quickened his steps and tripped.
Lan Bao put down the drawing and ran over. He picked the child up from behind and observed the child's face and small hands. He asked, "Where does it hurt?"
The child shook his head in panic. Suddenly, he saw the broken bowl and the spilled fish on the ground. He revealed a frightened expression and cried.
"It's okay, it's okay. Stop, why did you come over? Why are you so fierce? Are you going to hit the child? "
Lan Bao coaxed the child. A man rushed over and scolded him.
"He broke something." The man was shouted at and quickly stopped.
"Will the thing be better if you hit him?" Lan Bao understood the adults' thoughts. Hitting the child would teach him a lesson.
The child already knew that he was wrong. Look at how frightened he was.
"Next time, take a tray and walk with it. If you accidentally trip again, throw the tray away. Don't hurt yourself."
Lan Bao turned around and said to the crying child. Don't adults fall too?
"Kazuko, are you stupid? Look at how frightened the child is. Leader Lan is talking to you. "Minamida Inayu shouted at Minamida Kazuko.
Actually, he felt sorry for the beautiful porcelain bowl. There were four similar bowls in a set. Since one was broken, there were only three left.
"Yes, I've wronged the child. I didn't take good care of him." What else could Minamida Kazuko do?
"Fix an autumn bowl. When someone accidentally breaks the others, fix it. I brought a lot of porcelain."
Lan Bao did not feel sorry for him. In the past, if he broke one, he would cry whenever he thought about it.
Now that he had money, he knew how much it cost. There were many kilns in the capital and the surrounding prefectures. Usually, they would burn pottery. Once in a while, they would burn porcelain.
Most families used pottery to entertain their guests.
If the children broke a lot of pottery, the parents would clean it up after seeing it. It was not worth much.
If the bowl was filled with braised pork, they would pick it up, wash it, and heat it up in the pot.
They would not throw away the noodles or rice. They would boil it with water. The hot noodles would become cold noodles, and the steamed rice would become boiled rice.
If it was filled with soup, they would throw it away. There was little in the soup. It was all water.
"Autumn!" The child stopped crying and pointed at the bowl on the ground. He was illiterate, but he knew what the four bowls were from Lan Bao's words.
Minamida Kazuko came over and brought the child back. Someone came to clean up.
"Jiang Chuan and the others are not coming down for dinner?" Minamida Inayu looked at a boat.
"They are tired and resting on the boat. They should have eaten already." Lan Bao was not sure about the Winged Knights' arrangement.
He knew that the Winged Knights wanted to sleep well. The boat was the safest.
"Are the people in Chang 'an of the Tang dynasty eating now?" Minamida Inayu glanced around and felt that this night was particularly warm.
"The people who work early in the morning go to bed early tomorrow. They are only willing to eat supper when the people who work in shifts at the dock get off work.
In addition, the students who earn living expenses during the day and study at night will come out at this time.
They will find a place with light to read and communicate with their companions. They are usually in the area under the Li Family Zhuangzi's jurisdiction in the south of Chang 'an. "
Lan Bao told the truth. Not everyone did not sleep at night. How rich must they be? Everyone still had to live.
"Even if it is far away?" Minamida Inayu wished he could go to Chang 'an of the Tang dynasty to take a look.
"There are public buses. The students can take the tickets. They don't need to spend money. The elderly don't need to spend money, the children don't need to spend money, the disabled don't need to spend money, and the Non-commissioned Officer don't need to spend money."
Lan Bao said a series of things about not needing to spend money. Chang 'an was like that.
"What about the bus fare?" Minamida Inayu thought of the cost.
"The imperial court will subsidize it. The Li Family Zhuangzi will subsidize it in the south of the city. The students can eat a bowl of noodles at night." Lan Bao said with a different smile.
