...

The street at the entrance of Qingheyuan is more lively than in the morning.

The emergence of ice powder suddenly triggered the most fanatical pursuit of ice and coolness in this hot summer.

A ice noodle stall was no longer enough and was almost overwhelmed by the crazy crowd. Therefore, Huangfu Que, the supervisor of Qinghe Park, personally came forward to direct the setting up four stalls ten feet apart from the gate of Qinghe Park. Later, he even arranged an additional stall to go to the Liuxiang Garden opposite to appease the people who came here.

The ice powder made from large buckets was continuously carried out from the kitchen. It was too late to ice the ice bucket. It could only make several large buckets of ice water according to the ice-making method taught by the Marquis. When selling, two spoons of ice water were poured with sweet and sour sauce, but it still could not stop the people's enthusiasm. What the five stalls heard were the shouting and noise and the sound of copper coins being thrown into the wooden box. Every half an hour later, someone would carry the cash box into the finance room of Qinghe Garden for inventory and accounting.

From the supervisors to the helpers in the entire Qinghe Park, no one could have thought that a small portion of ten yuan per bowl of ice noodles would be made into a big business of making money every day by the Marquis.

As long as the heat does not subside, this business will probably last for a few days or even one or two months, because I heard that there is little rain and drought this fall, and it is estimated that the heat will last for a long time.

"The Marquis is here~"

On the bustling street, two luxurious horse-drawn carriages that were brought together under the protection of the imperial guards and palace guards, and warm cheers suddenly sounded on the street.

Chen Xu sat in the carriage and waved to the crowd of salutes and shouting.

"Look, it's the fifth princess!"

Some people in the crowd recognized Ying Shiman's ceremonial guard, so many Gongsun princes stood respectfully on the side of the road and bowed, shouting to pay homage to Princess Huayu.

Ying Shiman stood up and saluted to the blessed man on both sides. Her gentle and polite appearance made the crowd cheer up. It was not until the two carriages were greeted by the guards of Qinghe Garden that the crowd on the street slowly calmed down and ate jelly, ate barbecue, and swayed fans to go shopping.

Many people even discuss in-depth the follow-up story of Qinghe Hou invited Princess Huayu into Qinghe Park. Is it a meal at Qinghe Hotel or a show, or a touch, pinch and hug in the private room of the hotel, and do some entertainment activities that everyone envies and hates, because I heard that the Marquis took off the fifth princess naked in the winter and fell ill...

Chen Xu naturally didn't know what kind of mentality and interests of the gossip-burning guy who was burning with fire. He wouldn't even bother to pay attention to it, nor would he prosecut them for defamation, because he is the most popular marquis in Daqin. As a star, it is normal for people to talk about private life.

Under Huangfu Que's personal arrangement, Chen Xu first took Ying Shiman to settle down in the best private room in the theater. The two sat intimately watched the MV of "The Loyalty for the Country" which has now been spread to the household name and the second act of the Legend of White Snake.

During the break of viewing, Chen Xu sent someone a wide variety of snacks, barbecue, spring rolls, fried chestnuts, especially the fried crabs and fried snails that have recently become popular in Xianyang. With two bowls of crystal clear ice powder, the two of them watched, ate and chatted, Ying Shiman returned to her former expression, and there was no trace of melancholy on her happy face.

After watching a scene, the sun sets westward and is already a food.

The streets and alleys are filled with strong smell of food. The street at the entrance of Qingheyuan is already crowded. The playboys, officials, rich alchemists, and all kinds of nobles in gorgeous clothes who come out to play after dinner. In addition to these well-known exploiting classes, there are ordinary people carrying loads and baskets. They all gather on both sides of the street to sell various fruits and snacks. Now it is the late summer and early autumn, and all kinds of fruits and fruits in the mountains are ripe, so there are shouting and selling everywhere.

“Melon, crisp and sweet cantaloupe~”

"The newly released buns, the buns with oil residue and shepherd's purse filling~"

"Fried chestnuts, freshly beaten chestnuts~"

"Ice powder ice powder, ice powder to relieve heat and quench thirst~" This is the shout of the Qingheyuan ice powder specialty team.

"Grilled crabs, pepper, garlic, mustard, all kinds of flavors, one chunk, one chunk, three chunks..." Not far from the side of the gate of Qingheyuan was a carbon stove and a barbecue rack, and a pair of dark-skinned young brothers were also shouting loudly.

Nearly a month has passed, and the timidity and misery of the past can no longer be seen on the faces of the brothers. The clothes on their bodies have been replaced with clean linen cloth, and their bodies are neatly tidy. Moreover, the equipment is not the ragged pottery basin of the past, but an iron barbecue grill worth hundreds of dollars.

Because I heard that the Marquis had eaten their crabs in person and praised them for their delicious taste, these two brothers are now considered famous figures at the entrance of Qinghe Garden. Many people who come to play will come to eat a bunch of crabs.

Nowadays, roasted crabs are not the kind that only salty taste that day. They are carefully marinated with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, green onion, ginger, garlic, mustard. The taste is countless times better than the beginning. Therefore, the two brothers also made the same simple roasted crab into a well-known delicacy on this street. Other imitators can't make it here, so they can only set up stalls in other Quyuan and miscellaneous houses. Now in Xianyang, roasted crabs have become a common food in the streets and alleys, and therefore, catching crabs has become a profitable industry.

Nowadays, in the rivers and canals outside the city, men, women and young men wearing straw hats and fish baskets can be seen everywhere, catching crabs and snails. They can earn a few or even ten or twenty yuan a day, and dozens or even hundreds a month. This is just an inconspicuous business that can support the family and the young. This is also a means of making a living that Qinghe Hou accidentally opened up. Therefore, whether it is a roast crab or a crab catching crab, they are grateful to Qinghe Hou.

Chen Xu waved a folding fan in his hand and led Ying Shiman on the bustling street.

In addition to these snacks, there are also people selling straw hats, hemp shoes, folding fans, crutches, and even pottery chariots and horses. If Chen Xu hadn't known this was Daqin, he would have thought that he had arrived in a tourist area in later generations where all of them were dressed in ancient costumes. These people around him were tourists and merchants selling handicrafts.

The street is about 200 meters long. I looked around and walked around. Chen Xu quickly added a straw hat on his head. The folding fan in his hand was replaced with a pottery doll. Ying Shiman followed him along with him, carrying a straw hat woven with vine on his head and a skewer of roasted crabs in his hand.

After walking to Shen Shi Hou, Chen Xu sent the happy fifth princess back to the palace. When he returned to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion for a while, he was about to leave the city and return to Qinghe Villa, he was stopped by a general of Jinban riding a horse at the door of the Marquis Mansion.

"It turns out it's Marquis Di Dao, I'm not respectful!" Chen Xu was a little surprised. He didn't know why Li Xin came to him in a hurry, so he could only get out of the carriage and say hello.

"It's so late to disturb Qinghe Hou. I hope to forgive me!" Li Xin was very polite and saluted Chen Xu respectfully.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not Di Daohou wants to lead the troops to fight, I'm very idle! I don't know what Di Daohou comes to come?" Chen Xu returned the greeting with a smile.

"This..." Li Xin seemed a little difficult to speak, and opened his mouth a few times and hesitated to speak.

"Marquis Didao comes with me into the house to talk!" Seeing Li Xin's hesitation, Chen Xu waved his hand and asked the groom and the guards to drive the carriage into the Marquis' Mansion again, and then personally led Li Xin to the living room.

Both sides sat down, and after the maid presented incense tea, Chen Xu ordered everyone to withdraw and close the door, and the room became quiet instantly.

"Xu heard that His Majesty was about to attack the Huns again after the autumn, and also launched a surprise attack on Donghu. Du Dao Hou was the main general to wipe out Henan. I am afraid that he would go on the war again this time. I don't know when he would set off?" Chen Xu asked after taking a few sips of tea.

"Just set out a few days later, and set out at the end of July. Before the cold winter comes, a large number of people and livestock of the Hunter Hu will be captured and killed. Once the cold winter arrives, the Hunter Hu herders will inevitably die of starvation. In just two or three years, the Hunter Hu will inevitably disperse and flee far away. The Hunter Hu will definitely collapse and disappear invisibly, and there will be no disaster in the northwest from now on!" Li Xin nodded calmly and said.

Chen Xu didn't understand the war at all, so he never participated in military deployment and discussions in the court.

Nowadays, new pawn equipment is being built day and night. From February to June, every few days, the data on equipment construction in each county will be summarized to the Ministry of Works. Then, it will be reported to the Ministry of War for inventory and verification. After it is escorted to the Northwest Military Camp through caravans and soldiers. More than 20,000 new pawns have been equipped.

Because the first team of 10,000 pawns led by Li Xin and Jiang Hu made military achievements of several levels, these soldiers who made merits were dispersed and sent to the new pawns team to serve as officers at all levels to reorganize four new pawns and train with the old and lead the new. Therefore, although in just a few months, more than 20,000 pawns in the new equipment have also formed a very powerful combat power. At the same time, officers at all levels have also carried out various adaptive trainings based on the characteristics of new equipment and new weapons, and have also summarized many of the experiences of new pawns equipment in the battle of Henan and Hebei for reform and promotion.

In a few months, more than 30,000 new and old pawns have become super armed forces beyond the military forces of this Earth era. If the logistics heels are provided, these more than 30,000 new pawns are expected to sweep across Central Asia, West Asia and even Europe.

Of course this is impossible. First of all, one horse and two horses are not enough to run away from homeland for a long distance. At least one person and three riders are required. It also requires a large amount of supplies. The most important factor in leading the victory of the war is not only the military value, but also the most important thing is logistics and national stability, and then luck.
