Crossing the Unknown Country

Because of his wit, General Wang An rewarded Wang Xiaohu with several hundred taels of silver. The general also promoted him to a higher rank, which made him happier than the bonus. Who wouldn't want to be promoted? It means that he will have more opportunities in the future.

Wang Xiaohu brought Wang Cheng to Shili Village, where he was already familiar with the streets. Some villagers also knew them and greeted them when they met. When they passed the entrance of the village and saw the high wall, they wondered why this village was so wise. This was a good way to save lives.

If their border town didn't have those high walls, it would have been trampled and broken by the enemy's iron hooves. Only those high walls can block the attacks of those enemies, otherwise why do all the cities have high walls?

This unique village is home to the Su family, and they will discover more. Their carriage came to the door of the Su family. Wang Cheng got off and knocked on the door. A strange woman came out and asked them, "Who are you looking for?"

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Isn't this the Su family? We are his family's friends. Please tell the host that Wang Xiaohu is here to visit."

When Mrs. An heard that it was the guest the owner had mentioned a few days ago, she quickly opened the gate and asked them to drive the car into the cowshed in the backyard. Su He had already come out of the house at this time. When he saw Wang Xiaohu, he hurried forward to greet him: "Uncle Wang is here, hurry in and rest for a while, I'll go call my father over."

As she spoke, she led Wang Xiaohu into the living room. The family now used the large hall as the living room to receive guests. After all, there were plenty of rooms in the house. They arranged it the way they liked, with a large table at the top, large chairs on both sides, and comfortable Chinese-style sofas around. This was made according to the picture drawn by Su He, and Carpenter Li made it. Su He's mother used a lot of cotton for the cushions, which were soft and comfortable. The test points were filled with chicken feathers and rabbit hair collected by Su He, which were very comfortable.

Wang Xiaohu came in and looked at the comfortable chair with amazement, and tried to sit on it to feel comfortable. There was also a different kang table on the kang next to the kang, with things on the four sides.

Su He has taken some time to buy all the furniture in his house. He can't let himself down when he has money. Su He feels that if he can make springs, he wants to make a real sofa. Unfortunately, iron is too expensive now, and it is not worth spending a lot of money to make it.

They now have modular furniture in their house, the large cabinets with partitions, which are really practical, especially Su Heniang likes them very much. They can hold a lot of things and are very convenient, much better than the kang cabinets in the past.

Wang Xiaohu thought to himself, this Su family is different, look at this long chair, it is comfortable to sit on, and you can also lie down and sleep if you want. And what is in that soft pillow, it is so light and soft.

He didn't know that Su He had put a lot of effort into using the chicken feathers, washing them, cutting them, and breaking them. She used a lot of chicken and rabbit hair to fill these pillows. She also used cotton fur on the outside to keep the hair from coming out.

Wang Xiaohu liked this place more and more. The Su family was not very conspicuous on the outside, but there was something special inside. He sat here comfortably, waiting for Su He's father to come. They sat down and talked about the recent situation and asked about the production of noodles.

Now the noodles here are specially supplied to the generals' homes in the border town, which is the safest way. Because the Su family has no idea about their situation, it can ensure that no one will do anything.

Su He's father told them that the noodles were ready as requested and could be shipped at any time, but he still politely asked Wang Xiaohu to stay for two days to rest. Wang Xiaohu also agreed to stay for two days before leaving, and asked Su He's father to prepare more goods so that they could take more away. Su He's father thought that he still had to hire people, and the amount of noodles at home was still too small.

The next morning, Wang Xiaohu and Wang Cheng heard the Su family practicing boxing in the backyard, so they followed suit. They had all been practicing martial arts since they were young, and their moves were different from Su He and the others.

After the fight, Su He said enviously, "Uncle Wang, you guys are really good at fighting. It's a pity that we can't find such a master. It's not easy to find a good master."

Since his brothers left, Su He has been thinking about going to the city to find a master. Seeing Wang Xiaohu and the others' skills, he tried to ask, maybe he could gain something new. No matter who can help, as long as they can find a good master, they will be satisfied.
