Chapter XVII: Separation

Xue Aimin Qingtian Master was promoted to the hall soon after returning to the palace, and Li San and other villagers and neighbors were all in front of the hall, and they could return to the lord at any time to ask questions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The county lord asked all the main people one by one to confirm the authenticity of all the signed paintings. The following things will be easy to do.

Xue Aimin was shocked, "After a detailed investigation by the county, the facts are conclusive, and there is no defect in the guarantor, so the request for the defense is granted, Li San is exempted from military service, and the hard labor is reduced by half. With that, he withdrew from the court, and the matter was finally successfully concluded. In the future, if there is a military service dispatch, Li San only needs to take out the official immunization document issued by the county honor.

Later, Chen Yue and Li San held a banquet in a famous restaurant in the county, invited Master Li, and other neighbors opened another table. After the banquet, everyone parted. Chen Yue went to the county school administration office with three classmates, and opened a study tour guide and other things at home.

Chen Yue sealed ten taels of silver for each child, which was counted as a thank-you gift. Another 20 taels of silver were taken out as expenses for future literary meetings, and the three children were asked to keep it for themselves. It's all over, and it's already dusk.

Chen Yue found an inn and asked for an upper room, an inn in a county like Qingping County, which is not luxurious, but it is comfortable and tidy.

It is not surprising that one government and ten counties are even more, the government road is second only to the state road, even so, the government road also has an official road style, five miles and a pavilion, and ten miles and a post. It is not as narrow as the county road, and the road is much smoother.

The twelve prefectures of Qingzhou, Qingzhou Mansion is the best high-class state capital, and there was once a state official who reported to the imperial court and wanted to upgrade Qingzhou Mansion to become the state capital. It can be seen how important Qingzhou Mansion is to Qingzhou.

Although Qingzhou Mansion is good, it also depends on who it is compared with. If it is compared with Shenzhou, where the imperial capital of the capital is located, it is naturally not the same. Shenzhou is so big, there are twelve first-class sects in the rivers and lakes alone. It is known as the twelve gates of Shenzhou, of which the Shendao Gate, the six gates of Shenzhou, and the Shenbing Gate are all in Shenzhou.

The size of Shenzhou is even more amazing, it is said that Shenzhou has fifty states, and the capital of the emperor alone occupies a continent. Compared with the area of the twelve prefectures of Qingzhou, it is not remarkable at all.

There are two roads from Qingping County to Qingzhou Mansion, one goes down the river, and you can take a small Wupeng boat to the end to reach Qingzhou Mansion. There is also an official road. It is difficult to comment on the advantages and disadvantages of the two.

Although the Wupeng boat is small, the scenery of the Qingjiang River along the way is beautiful, and the Qingjiang fish of the Qingjiang River is a must in Qingzhou, not only the meat is tender and delicious, but also the more commendable thing is that there are almost no fish bones. It's a pity that the current Qingjiang fish has not yet reached the fattest season. But the Qingjiang fish in early spring also has a unique flavor.

Nearly noon, an open-top canopy boat went down the river, and the oars in the hands of the boatman waved in the river from time to time, splashing a little waves. It is very attractive like broken jade.

A tall scholar stood at the bow of the boat, as if he was looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river. At this time, the boatman said, "Guest officer, it is almost noon, and the boat that has been on the boat all morning, is really hungry now, why don't you make a fire on the shore and cook?"

The young scholar frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "It's okay, you have been fortunate to have traveled all morning." Just listen to you, find a quiet place to light a fire and cook!"

In the middle of the river, Wupeng gradually moved closer to the shore, and when he reached the shore, he lowered the sails as well. At this time, the boatman on the boat picked up a plank, put it on the shore, and took a cable to tie it to the tree by the river.

When the boat came to a complete stop, the boatman pulled the fishing net at the stern of the boat straight to the boat, and when the bottom of the net was all pulled to the boat, there were already dozens of Qingjiang fish jumping around in the net.

The scholar standing at the bow of the boat was Chen Yue, who had been leaving the direction of Qingping County by boat for three days. If he had the opportunity to see the scenery of the Qingjiang River, he didn't care about the speed of the boat. The boatman is in charge, and every day the boatman can catch a lot of Qingjiang fish in the net, and many of them are put into the wooden barrels on the boat to raise, and the boatman will sell some on the shore of the market town. The days are also freehand.

After all, Chen Yue didn't come to see the scenery, and he slowly became a little impatient. This scenery is not interesting to look at. I thought about letting the boatman speed up. But the boatman seems to have been used to sailing for the past few days, and he can't lift it for a while. It's not until noon, and you have to go ashore to make a fire and cook.

The so-called, "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water" Chen Yue ate the Qingjiang fish made by the boatman at the beginning of the year, but after eating for a long time, he felt that his kung fu in making fish was a pity for this fish.

For the boatman, the fish can be caught from the river every day, but the sesame oil for the fish has to be bought on the shore, a pound of high-quality sesame oil pattern silver three to five taels, a few catties of fish may not be able to change one or two sesame oil, it is really a cheap fish oil is expensive, not to mention the cooking of fish to put onions, ginger, garlic, salt and other seasonings.

It's not enough to eat fish, you have to get some meat and vegetables from the shore to accompany the wine. Chen Yue is even more picky about eating.

If Chen Yue makes this fish, at least a big fish and pours two taels of oil, this boatman can't be so generous, and a big fish can pour half a tael of sesame oil, which is already generous.

This boatman is reluctant to put more salt, salt is the government's monopoly, the price is sold, a handful of coarse salt three taels of silver, a handful of refined salt five taels of silver, fine salt is sold to ten taels, the special snow-white fine salt, ordinary people can not see a face.

Most people don't buy official salt, and the price of private salt is much cheaper, and a handful of coarse and private salt can be bought at a low price. If you're lucky, you'll be able to buy one for fifty wen. This is the lowest coarse salt, where the difference can be seen in general. The price of salt is profitable, and the price varies with the market.

The wine is also a government franchise, and the folk brew rice wine, although the taste is sweet, but it is not as strong as the official wine, and it is strong.

A bowl of low-grade official wine in a high-grade restaurant costs at least ten taels of silver for a bowl, and it is also mixed with water. As for rice wine, I'm sorry, but the restaurant doesn't sell that kind of bargain.

In the past few days, Chen Yue has no temper by this boatman, although he has repeatedly explained that the food and oil and water should be sufficient, and he also promised that the ship's fare will be doubled, but the boatman is stingy and tight, and the two even broke up unhappily several times.

This time, Chen Yue stood aside, staring at the boatman cooking, if there was less oil, Chen Yue would not do it.

Maybe it was because Chen Yue was staring at the side, a big fish, this oil fell at least one or two halves, although Chen Yue still felt less, but looking at the boatman's distressed face, he didn't say anything.

The boatman shook the sesame oil gourd in his hand distressedly, "Good girl, the next meal is not enough!" seemed to be said to Chen Yue, and the boatman grabbed some salt and threw it into the pot.
