Chapter 441 [Wei He's New Friend]
He didn't ask Wei He's intuitive feelings about this period of life, because Wei He had just said that this period of time was very tiring.
Fang Chang asked what Wei He thought about the hard work of the past few years.
Of course, Fang Chang can roughly guess Wei He's answer, but he still has to ask for a sense of ceremony.
After all, as an elder, I have come here, and I always feel uncomfortable without asking anything.
Sure enough, Wei He smiled softly and said:
"Although it is very tiring, this is exactly the life I want to live. As soon as I open my eyes every day, there are always things I can't finish, and these things are closely related to my ideals... This is enough, and it is not in vain to say goodbye to Master Brother and brother, I gave up my practice and came to the world to experience this."
“Every day is very fulfilling, and it is really a beautiful thing to see this land, with my participation, become better and better, more stable and prosperous.”
After listening to Wei He's answer, Fang Chang nodded. Wei He's answer was exactly what he had thought before.
Then he asked Wei He like a routine: "Then will you go back to practice? Your master and the others are still waiting for you."
"I won't go back." Wei He shook his head and explained: "I have chosen my own path, and I will go on it. Although this path is very short, it is not worth complaining or regretting. On the contrary , doing these things, I just feel happy."
It is estimated that Wei He will be darker and thinner in the future, and eventually he will be like his subordinates and colleagues, Fang Chang thought to himself.
It’s been a long time since we saw each other. Wei He’s appearance and clothes are getting closer and closer to that of an official. The long jade pendant on his waist still exudes a calming effect. Fang Chang remembered that the raw material of this jade pendant was the white jade given by the monkey Sun Yun when he first went up to the Immortal Qiya.
Yun Zhongshan has always produced spiritual jade. Fang Chang encountered the largest piece, and he has made it into a bed. He also made some jade boxes, jade pendants, and hairpins from the leftovers. Now he is still throwing it in his bag. I don’t know when he will use it.
And not long after Wei He left Xianqi Cliff, when Fang Chang and Sang Ziping were digging the jasper pond, they dug out another piece of high-quality jasper. He made three jade pendants out of the jasper, and wore one on his waist. The other two were given to Sang Ziping and Mu Anning.
He asked about the impact of the catastrophe on Lizhou, and learned that the main energy of the people in Lizhou, as well as the state government's finances, were mainly focused on water management.
So the Zhizhou of Lizhou, who was also bewitched by the monster, and the monster concubine and master who the enemy placed next to the Zhizhou, failed to change this large project that had lasted for more than ten years.
Because everyone up and down refused to agree to change this matter. Whether it is vested interests, ordinary people, or those who simply benefit the people, they all have demands for the continuation of this project, so no matter how the enemy tries, they will encounter layers of resistance.
When this led to chaos in the world, Lizhou was short of money, food and manpower. Relying on the size of Lizhou, it had more than enough self-preservation and insufficient motivation for chaos. As a result, Lizhou maintained a relatively high level of order in the nearby states affected by the catastrophe, and even continued to implement water conservancy projects.
However, the two of them, and the person staying in this house, did not eat together.
As a member of the river workers, Wei He’s material distribution is directly distributed to each host family, including oil, salt, rice noodles, etc. At the same time, some compensation will be given to these families who provide accommodation and cooking. Each family provides meals to these river workers in a separate way to show that the accounts are clear.
Of course, as a commander, Wei He should be given a lot more supplies. So seeing that he had guests, the host thoughtfully made an extra meal.
Walking into Wei He's room, the hostess of the house came in with a small basket and put it on the table.
The deep-fried fried fritters in the basket, four in a set, looks fluffy and crispy, and looks very beautiful.
It is because the soybean oil distributed to each family needs to be boiled and cooked, so that it can be stored for a longer period of time without deterioration. So I just took this opportunity to fry some deep-fried dough sticks, so that I can make full use of the consumed firewood, which is the wisdom of the people in life.
The fried dough sticks taste good and full of flavor, and it doesn’t consume much oil to make it. The only problem is that this kind of food tastes too smooth. Even if there is oil and water, you need to eat a lot to get full if you do physical work, but you will be very hungry after eating it.
Then, the hostess brought a few more plates, which contained thin pickle strips dripping a few drops of sesame oil, a plate of fried radish, a plate of fried cabbage, and vegetable soup in a small pot. Put some oil residue in the radish, put an egg in the cabbage, and put a few vermicelli in the vegetable soup.
"Please use, sir." Wei He handed over the chopsticks and said, "The conditions here are poor and I can't welcome you, but today's food is much better than usual." I am a practitioner, but my life, especially the diet, is very delicate, so I am apologetic.
"That's good."
Fang Chang smiled. He took the chopsticks, took a deep-fried dough stick and bit it.
The fried dough sticks are just out of the pan, the heat has not yet dissipated, the outer skin is crispy and the middle is soft, and there is a hint of salty fragrance, which is the most delicious.
Wei He next to him also moved his chopsticks. He ate half of the pickled vegetables, tore the rest into pieces and soaked them in the vegetable soup, pressed the chopsticks to the bottom of the bowl to soak the soup, then buried his head and ate with a snort. It's very fragrant. Fang Chang found that Wei He's appetite was much larger than when he was on Xianqi Cliff.
"Brother Wei, is Brother Wei at home!" A voice suddenly sounded outside, and the other party called Wei He. Come here, you have to control my food and see what I brought you... Hey, Brother Wei, you have guests, I was the one to be rude."
The appearance of the visitor was a skinny young man, wearing a coarse green dress, carrying two fat fish in his hands, walking in a hurry but a bit swaying. The fish is covered with willow branches, swinging upright, looking very fresh.
Seeing Fang Chang in the room, the person who came here immediately put away his carefree tone and became more polite.
Wei He put down his chopsticks, got up to meet him, and introduced Fang Chang to him:
"This is one of my elders who was passing by here recently and came to visit me. You can call me Mr. Fang like me. Mr. Fang, this is a good friend I have met in the past few years. He is also working on the river now. They are all good hands."
In recent days, my eyes are always swollen like light bulbs, painful and itchy, including now,,, I suspect that I am allergic to pollen.
