Chapter 207
"Zhang Long, bring the beer!"
After eating the buns, Su Chen asked Zhang Long to bring the iced beer to the table, and Zhao Hu and Ma Han brought the glass.
"Hmm? Glass wine vessel? Su Chen, when did you become so extravagant?"
Chang Sun Chong picked up a bottle of beer and asked. They left the manor before Li Tai got the glass, so they didn't know there was glass.
But they knew that glass was precious. Unless there was a mine at home, who would be so extravagant to use glass as a drinking vessel.
"It's a small thing. If you like it, I'll give you a car each when you return to Chang'an." Su Chen didn't say anything, and Li Chengqian promised generously.
Chang Sun Chong and others were stunned when they heard this. Could it be that they had been away from Chang'an for a month and were out of touch with the outside world?
"Your Highness, this joke is not allowed!" Wei Shuyu said seriously.
"Hey, stop talking nonsense, this is glass. It's made of sand and is not worth much, everyone fill up!"
Su Chen interrupted Li Chengqian's pretense and poured a glass of beer and said.
The yellow beer was poured into the glass. Because it was not frozen enough, there was some white foam on it.
"Hey, what kind of wine is this? This is the first time I've seen a wine that looks like horse urine." Cheng Daniu said with a silly smile.
Everyone looked at Cheng Daniu at the same time.
Not to mention, Cheng Daniu's description of beer as horse urine is really accurate.
"Sorry, I made a mistake, made a mistake! I'll drink it first!"
Cheng Daniu bowed his hands to apologize to everyone, then picked up a glass of beer and drank it all in one gulp.
His Adam's apple slid twice, like a cow drinking water.
"Burp~!"
"Good, refreshing, this wine is really refreshing!" Cheng Daniu burped and laughed loudly.
Not long after, Master Cheng and his team brought up the grilled ingredients one after another.
Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the other four, as well as Li Junxian, did not eat at the same table with Su Chen and the other thirteen. To be exact, they did not plan to have barbecue and drink beer tonight because of their different status.
"Chang Sun Chong, you guys eat more. We brought enough ingredients this time, so you can be full!"
Su Chen said to Chang Sun Chong and the other eight people with a smile. Seeing that they were all tanned, it was very funny!
"Li Zhi, do you still drink beer?" Su Chen whispered to Princess Changle beside him.
Princess Changle shook her head and said, "I don't drink it. I'm not used to the taste." She drank beer last night because she and the two guys were playing tricks on each other, and she forced herself to drink it.
"I'll get you some frozen orange juice." Su Chen stood up and said.
"No, there's still half a bottle of unfinished orange juice in the carriage. I'll get it myself." Princess Changle held Su Chen and stood up and walked towards the carriage.
She only had four bottles of orange juice in total, although she said she would not give them to Changsun Yao and the others.
But Princess Changle still wanted to keep it, it would be fun to drink with them.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect there is such a way to eat, it's so satisfying!" Changsun Chong and others love this barbecue very much.
Baolin and Baoqing inherited their father Yuchi Laohei, who didn't talk much and worked hard.
"Come on! Brothers, let's go!"
Su Chen couldn't drink white wine, and he usually took the lead in cheering for a toast when drinking beer, perhaps because of his old habits.
Changsun Chong and the others were only concerned with eating, and they all bit the skewers with their teeth bared, because they didn't understand what "let's go" meant.
"Okay, cheers!" Li Chengqian, Li Ke and the others knew that Su Chen's "let's go" meant to raise a toast and drink together.
"Cheers!"
Seeing Li Chengqian and Su Chen holding their glasses, Changsun Chong and the others also reacted, put down the skewers in their hands, and followed suit.
...
"Where did you sleep at night? I walked around the house and didn't see any beds."
Su Chen looked at Chang Sun Chong and asked them.
"We never slept in the house. The weather was hot and the house was not as cool as outside. Before the night before midnight, the residual heat on the ground receded, and the straw mats on the ground were very cool." Wei Shuyu explained to Su Chen.
Su Chen nodded. No wonder they only saw a bundle of rolled straw mats in the house, but no beds.
They slept on the ground in this square at night.
"Are there no mosquitoes outside?" Su Chen asked.
"Of course there are, but the nearby villagers taught us a way to light a few fires around the sleeping place.
After the open fire is extinguished, spread the grass with a strange smell. When the grass is baked by charcoal fire, white smoke with a strange smell will come out, so mosquitoes dare not approach.
It's the kind of grass piled over there." Wei Shuyu pointed to a few bundles of freshly cut wild grass not far away and said.
"So that's it!"
Su Chen wondered if he could use that grass to make mosquito coils, but now was not the time to think about that.
"How long do you think it will take to build this road to the Yellow River?"
Su Chen looked at Chang Sun Chong and asked.
Chang Sun Chong thought after hearing this.After searching for a while, he replied, "I estimate it will be at least late October."
According to the current progress, Hua County is one-third of the distance between Chang'an and Tongguan on the Yellow River. It will take about two months to reach Tongguan.
Su Chen thought about it, and then said:
"The next construction plan needs to be changed. Send people to Tongguan on the Yellow River to build a bridge first.
Now is the dry season and the water level of the Yellow River is low. The arch bridge can be built. Otherwise, if it rains and the water level of the Yellow River rises, it will be difficult to construct."
No one answered after Su Chen finished speaking. Chang Sunchong and the others smiled at each other.
Huh?
"Could it be that you have already arranged it?" Su Chen asked doubtfully.
"Hahaha, that's right!" Chang Sunchong laughed.
"This is also a coincidence, thanks to a foreman brought from the manor village, who was responsible for exploring the terrain at the forefront.
In mid-July, he reported to us that the water level of the Yellow River in Tongguan was less than half a knee, and the riverbed was even exposed in some places.
This is the right time to stop and divert the Yellow River to facilitate the excavation of the pier foundation of the arch bridge.
It is expected that the construction of the three piers will be completed in another half a month."
Su Chen did not think about it anymore after hearing this, raised his glass and said:
"That's good, otherwise the water level will rise in the future and construction will not be possible.
Come on, drink! Cheers!"
...
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was 8:25 in the evening.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Chen had just had a drink with everyone, and Princess Changle beside him lowered her head and kept pulling Su Chen's clothes around his waist.
"I... Come with me."
Without waiting for Su Chen to agree, Princess Changle got up and left.
"Brothers, wait for me for a while."
After Su Chen said hello to everyone, he got up and left to catch up with Princess Changle, lowering his head and asking:
"Lizhi, what's wrong with you?"
Princess Changle didn't answer, but continued to walk forward, looking around.
Su Chen probably saw it and asked, "Do you want to go to the toilet?"
Princess Changle suddenly slowed down her pace, turned her head and asked, "Go to the toilet?"
"It means to go to the toilet." Su Chen finally remembered the word to go to the toilet.
"Yeah." Princess Changle hummed softly.
Princess Changle had looked for the toilet when she went to the carriage to get the oranges, but she couldn't find it.
She couldn't ask because there were only men here.
