People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 5 Golden Eagle?

The next day!

The sky was slightly bright, but Li Yao had already started to organize his clothes at this time.

Short jacket, trousers, riding boots, standard Hufu style, and there are ties on the trouser legs, cuffs, and waist, which are more convenient for riding and shooting after being tied tightly. Of course, there is a fur cloak with extremely narrow cuffs.

Finally, he stood in front of a blurred bronze mirror, tied his messy hair behind his head with his hands, took out the string and tied it tightly with a slipknot.

There are only a few strands of scattered hair, still fluttering in the ear.

A handsome prairie boy!

Then Li Yao couldn't help laughing.

Going to the Central Plains like this, I am afraid that I will be criticized verbally and in writing. Although I am a Han, I am dressed as a barbarian.

But this is the land of Hehuang, even his father is dressed in this way, and the surrounding Qiang people are also dressed in this way.

If you don't fit in, you will be ostracized.

Moreover, it is indeed more convenient to ride and shoot when wearing a Hu suit, which is a housekeeping skill.

Get dressed and get down to business.

Li Yao walked out of the room, Li Yan and Li Lin were already waiting here, also wearing Hufu.

"Brother!" The two said in unison.

Li Yao looked at them with a smile on their faces:

"Follow me and find Father!"

Immediately the three of them went straight to his parents' room.

Unfortunately, he learned from the maid that neither his parents had woken up yet, so he asked people to go in to report, while the three brothers were waiting outside.

After a long time, Li Wenhou came out in disheveled clothes. His face was full of resentment that he wanted to sleep late, but was disturbed. Then he looked at his three sons, all dressed neatly, knowing that they came prepared, so he said:
"Eat breakfast first!"

The three of them naturally did not dare to object.

After a while, the food was served.

A bowl of corn rice, still steaming, yellow and fragrant, makes people salivate, and there is a pot of boiled mutton next to it, this is the staple food.

The cooking methods of the Han Dynasty were mainly grilled and boiled. In the morning, the food was lighter, and boiled mutton was eaten.

The large pieces of mutton that have been divided are directly put into the copper pot and cooked with clean water, and a layer of salt flower is sprinkled on it just before it is out of the pot...

Fresh and tender, with endless aftertaste.

Finally put it in a basin and put it in front of them!
Li Wenhou sat in the main seat, wearing a big cloak on his body, and he still looked disheveled at this time.

First, he grabbed a knife and cut off a piece of mutton, then smeared it with a dipping sauce similar to leek sauce, and finally threw it into his mouth and began to chew it until he swallowed it before saying:
"Have a meal!"

At this time, everyone no longer hesitated, and all relaxed and began to eat meat.

Li Yao cut a piece of mutton, smeared it with dipping sauce and threw it into his mouth, feeling the pungent taste bursting on the tip of his tongue, and the tenderness of the mutton reached its peak.

In this era, the gap between the rich and the poor is ridiculously large. Some people can eat enough just by eating meat, while others scrape tree bark and dig grass roots to make ends meet.

Some people have fat arms and round waists.

There are also people who are as thin as hemp sticks.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that there will be thousands of refugees who have broken through hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers. After all, their physical fitness can be said to be very different.

Quickly destroying the pot of mutton, Li Yao glanced at the main seat from the corner of his eye. His father was eating meat, and his mother was also serving beside him.

However, Father's expression was tired, but Mother's face was radiant, and one could tell at a glance that she didn't sleep well last night.

"No wonder Father got up in the morning with resentment on his face." Li Yao thought in his heart.

During the meal, no one spoke, and it was not until the battle was finally over that they began to chat about business.

Li Wenhou didn't talk nonsense, looked at the crowd, picked his teeth, and said:
"I had a serious talk with Ayao yesterday. Since I don't have the mind to study, I should try my best to practice horseback riding and archery. In a few years, we will enter the military camp together, so as not to mess around at home all day."

"Wei!" The three of Li Yao responded at the same time.

Hearing this, Li Wenhou stood up abruptly, threw the tooth picking knife on the table, then strode out, and said at the same time:
"I promised to give A Yao a big eagle yesterday, go now, let you choose!"

"Thank you Father!" Li Yao said with a smile, called Li Yan and Li Lin, saluted Zhao Yan, and left with Li Wenhou.

After watching the father and son leave, Zhao Yan ordered the maid to clean up the mess here. Although she had known about these things for a long time, she still couldn't hide her disappointment.

After all, she had always hoped that Li Yao could enter the official career by relying on his studies, instead of going to the battlefield to risk his life for his future.

The conversation was divided into two parts, Li Yao and the others followed Li Wenhou to the eagle house, which was located in the northeast corner of the Wubao.

Walking into the falconry, the first thing that catches the eye is two rows of refined iron cages, each with a carved bird inside.

All the vultures had a blindfold on their heads, making it impossible for them to distinguish between day and night, so they appeared extremely docile without any violent movements.

"Amutuo!" Li Wenhou shouted loudly.

After the words fell, a barbarian seemed to rush out from the side of the cage, and then knelt directly in front of Li Wenhou:

"Lord!"

Li Wenhou waved his hand:
"Introduce the situation here to Ayao, and let him choose a big eagle."

Amutuo said respectfully:

"As ordered!"

Immediately got up, then walked to Li Yao's side and began to introduce the situation here:

"Now there are eight vultures in the falconry house, all collected by the Lord over the years. It is extremely difficult to capture adult vultures, and it is even more difficult to domesticate adult vultures. Therefore, it is best to cultivate large vultures from young vultures..."

"They come from the cliffs, and hunters have to pay the price of blood to bring them back. Even the most common young eagles can exchange a hundred sheep, and grown-up eagles can even exchange a thousand sheep, and there must be someone who is willing to exchange..."

Hearing this, Li Wenhou was full of emotion. The value of a docile and obedient eagle that has undergone strict training and retained its fierce hunting skills is simply inestimable.

In other words, Li Yao is his own son, otherwise he would never want to leave his vultures.

Listening to Amutuo's introduction, Li Yao has already started to walk around the whole falconry house, carefully observing the differences between them...

The eyes are full of splendor.

Even Li Yan and Li Lin are full of excitement at the moment, who wouldn't want to have such a mighty vulture!
After about a while, Li Yao found a most beautiful vulture that was less than three feet long, so he turned his head and asked:

"Amutuo, hasn't this one grown up yet?"

When Amutuo came closer, his vigorous face seemed to come alive, and even his voice became more and more enthusiastic:

"This one is the most precious. When it grows up, it will be more than five feet in length and nine feet in wingspan. It will be the king of the sky, and it can even hunt ferocious wild wolves on the grassland!"

One meter long? !Spread two meters? !

This is... a golden eagle! ! !
Li Yao became excited when he thought of this, and made a decisive decision immediately:

"Father, I want this one!"

　Sign a contract, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
