Man Bao was not in a hurry to clean it up, but picked out a lot of meat with a knife to look at it. She smelled it, but she didn't dare to test the medicine on herself.

Bai Shan seemed to understand her thoughts and said quietly: "I heard that when Shennong tasted the herbs, he would not only suffer from abdominal pain, but also chest pain, all kinds of pain, and even went blind."

Man Bao shuddered, but refused to believe it, "Which book is it written in, why don't I know?"

Bai Shan calmly cleaned up the messy cactus she dug up, put the still intact ones aside, and said: "I don't remember which book it was written in, but I think it should be possible to eat food without knowing the poisonous properties."

Poisoned, right? Didn’t you say that after the body is injured, even if it is cured, it will not be as good as before? "

Manbao didn't remember saying this, but it was actually true, and she didn't dare to try it easily.

He had put the dug out plant meat aside and went to clean up the leftovers with Bai Shan.

She said: "It's okay to try to plant these. Maybe you can bring them back to the capital. They are so round and look pretty good."

Bai Shan nodded.

So I leaned on the window and yelled good luck to the person below, asking him to prepare the flower pots.

He looked back at the size of the cut pieces, and said to Daji: "I don't want big flower pots, I want small ones. I want twelve."

Daji turned around silently.

But unlike the capital, it was difficult to buy clay pots here, so after two trips back and forth, he found a carpenter in the town and customized a wooden basin for him.

When he learned that the nobles wanted a wooden basin as big as a dish, the carpenter was puzzled, "Is it too small to be difficult to wash?"

Daji glanced at him and then swept around the room, pointed to one and said: "The surface is about the same size as this one, but it needs to be deeper. We use it to plant flowers, so it needs to be filled with soil. You have to make it as deep as possible."

Carpenter: "...Sir, this is a wooden bowl."

He has been a carpenter for so many years, and many merchants in the past often come to him to buy some things. For example, if the wooden barrels and basins they travel with are cracked or broken, they basically come to him to buy or customize them. This is the first time I have seen a wooden bowl customized.

Planting flowers.

That's right, the carpenter felt that such a small thing didn't deserve to be called a basin at all.

However, the guests were generous and it was not difficult to do so. He still accepted the order and said, "I can't get it until the day after tomorrow."

Daji nodded in agreement and turned back to report.

Manbao already knew some of their habits from Keke, and knew that they were tenacious and would not die after being left alone for a few days. They could even bask in the sun and undergo some surface treatment.

Man Baobian and Bai Shan moved the things to the first floor. Now that the sun is not so strong, they can be dried in the sun.

When Yin You came back, he happened to meet Mr. Zhuang and others who were returning from a visit to the mayor's house. The two groups met at the door, and then entered the door lively. As soon as they entered the door, they saw two people squatting on the corridor with their backs to them, holding hands on each other.

Playing with something.

Zhou Liru was the first to rush forward, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Man Bao stepped aside and let them see the results of her and Bai Shan's afternoon.

Mr. Zhuang took one look, shook his head and turned back to the house.

Man Bao asked them, "How are you doing? Is the mayor polite?"

Bai Erlang said: "It's a good thing you didn't go. You don't know that the mayor used to be a horse thief. He just drank two glasses of wine and then he asked Mr. Zhuang to talk about his past being a horse thief. How about he brought all his men with him?

Steal things from other horse thieves, or snatch things from other cities. One-third of the people in this town were once horse thieves, and the remaining half are people related to horse thieves."

Man Bao opened his mouth wide and asked: "What about Nie Canjun..."

Bai Erlang laughed loudly and said: "Nie Canjun drank with him and talked about which nearby town was easier to fight. If we hadn't pulled him, Nie Canjun might have stayed there tonight and drank with him.

.”

Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other and asked, "Are you still having dinner?"

Bai Erlang shook his head, "I have been eating since I entered his house, and I have been eating until now. I can't eat anymore."

Liu Huan and Zhou Liru also said they would not eat.

Manbao asked Sister-in-law He to cook two bowls of hangover soup.

Bai Erlang shook his hands and said in disgust: "Although I drank a glass of wine, I'm not drunk. I don't drink hangover soup."

Liu Huan didn't like it either and said he wouldn't drink it.

Bai Shandao: "It's not for you."

Bai Erlang tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said "Oh" and said, "It's for Nie Canjun and Mr. Nie."

Yin You felt a little disgusted when he saw the smell of alcohol all over his body, "You go and wash up first."

Bai Erlang saw it and said: "This is not on me, but on Nie Canjun. He drank too much and got it when I took him out... Hey, Nie Canjun, aren't you drunk?"

Bai Erlang watched with wide eyes as Nie Canjun climbed over from the wall next door.

Nie Canjun grinned at them, jumped off the wall and waved energetically: "I feel much more comfortable after changing my clothes. Mr. Zhou, let's talk in the room."

Man Bao nodded and asked Bai Erlang and the others to wash up first. Then he and Bai Shan took Nie Canjun into the lobby, and then asked someone to invite Mr. Zhuang.

Bai Erlang rolled his eyes and dragged Liu Huan with one hand and Yin You with the other to join in the fun. They could wash up or something later.

Mr. Zhuang also changed his clothes and drank another cup of tea, and the smell of alcohol on his body disappeared a lot.

He came out with a smile, glanced at Bai Erlang and others, but said nothing.

Nie Canjun poured himself a cup of tea before saying: "I have heard people say that the mayor used to be a robber, but I didn't expect that nearly half of the people in the town had done similar things."

Bai Shandao: "I think they are living and working in peace and contentment now, so they probably won't attack passing merchants, right?"

Nie Canjun nodded and said with a bit of toothache: "We inquired about it, and the mayor meant that as long as we don't cause trouble, they won't do anything, and people are safe in the town, and they will protect us outside.

The horse thieves dare not come in. They are also recognized by Suzhou, and they will pay tribute to Suzhou every year."

Having said this, everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Liu Huan.

His father was the chief historian of Suzhou, second only to the governor, so these internal affairs had to go through his hands first.

Liu Huan looked at them silently.

Everyone looked away, and Bai Shan nodded in approval: "It's equivalent to recruiting security. It's difficult for Suzhou's troops to come here. This method is actually good. At least the ordinary people in the oasis are living a good life now and will not suffer from horse thieves again."

Nie Canjun nodded, his face became more serious, "The situation of smallpox has changed since the news came here. This year, the number of merchants going to the west has decreased, and even the number of merchants from the Western Regions going east has decreased by about 80%, so it is very chaotic outside.

Not only the horse thieves, but also the Turkic soldiers and horses who wandered over from the grassland, they all want to take the opportunity to capture this oasis, and it is basically difficult for the merchants on the road to escape from their hands."
