Chapter 18: Downstream
Although the boatman put more oil, Chen Yue still stared at the boatman cooking for a while, and then walked towards the high slope on the bank of the Qingjiang River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sun was strong at noon, and the large and small Wupeng in the Qingjiang River had also reached the shore. The fishing fires on the shore are everywhere, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Chen Yue was dressed as a Confucian, holding a good folding fan from the West Window Zhai in his hand, a cyan Confucian shirt, and black and white boots, with his tall figure, he looked more and more heroic.
The dark treasure bag is hidden in the waist, and there is a small half-bag of round pebbles inside, all of which are carefully selected, except for the slingshot silver ticket, there is nothing else in it.
He had some loose gold and silver in his arms, and he only carried a baggage with him. In addition to the clothes, there are some four treasures of the study, and the study tour documents issued by the county school and government are also in it.
The Qingjiang River is open, looking like a mirror from a high place, winding to Fucheng, and finally flowing outside Qingzhou. The boats on the river are like leaves.
Chen Yue looked at the river scenery for a while, and the boatman's rough voice shouted, "The guest officer Xiaolang's meals have been prepared, please eat!"
Chen Yue no longer looked at the river view, turned around and walked towards his boat. And said loudly, "Here, I'll serve the food myself!" Chen Yue got on the boat along the plank.
A large wooden barrel smaller than the water tank, upside down on the Wupeng boat board, a small wooden bench is for Chen Yue to sit on, the wooden barrel is clean with a water brush, a square wooden board on the barrel, a large plate of Qingjiang fish, and four dishes of meat and vegetarian side dishes. A medium-sized flask and a wine glass on a wooden board. There is also a stoneware bowl. The bamboo chopsticks have been taken into Chen Yue's hands.
The boatman on the side held a larger stoneware bowl, which also contained most of the Qingjiang fish, and the fish soup poured most of the bowl of rice, and various side dishes were also spread on the yellow rice in the bowl. It's already a big bite of food.
Chen Yue didn't pay much attention to the boatman, but just picked up the small wine glass on the wooden board, took a sip of wine, and raised the bamboo chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised fish. Stuff it in your mouth, close your eyes and chew.
I smiled in my heart, "This fish fruit needs to be eaten with more oil and salt to taste!"
After lunch, the boatman boiled a pot of boiling water with a fire, and Chen Yue made another pot of good new tea, poured a cup and ate it with the boatman. After drinking the tea, the boatman untied the rope, and Uppon gradually left the shore.
Qingzhou Mansion is one of the largest prefectures in Qingzhou. The city wall is high and solid, and the city wall is three feet five or six high. It is wide enough to walk four or five carriages side by side. Qingzhou Mansion is divided into the inner and outer cities, the inner city is mostly inhabited by wealthy people, and the outer city is mostly the residence of the displaced people.
The inner and outer cities are divided into four areas: east, west, north and south. The southern city is mostly inhabited by wealthy people. Dongcheng is mostly home to eunuchs. Xicheng is inhabited by wealthy merchants. The northern city is full of peddlers and pawns.
All kinds of shops, restaurants, workshops, and markets in the city are all over the city. The streets are bustling with people.
In the northwest corner of the southern outer city, there is a courtyard, and the narrow alleyway is divided into several by several rows of courtyards. The courtyard is a few years old, but it is still sturdy and durable, so the owner has no plans to renovate and build a new one.
Although the roadway is narrow, the ground is paved with large bluestones, and although there is some moss on the bluestone surface, it does not affect the road. On the contrary, the stone path is quick and easy to walk.
Chen Yue lives in a small courtyard with a row of windows facing south, the small courtyard is square, built with blue bricks, and there are three main rooms, a kitchen, a miscellaneous room, and a firewood room with firewood. The courtyard gates are two newly replaced iron-clad poplar doors. Brush the black paint.
The small courtyard is not big, except for the direction of the courtyard gate, there are such courtyards all around, which surrounds the surroundings. He has been in Fucheng for more than half a month, and he is familiar with the surroundings. He has signed up for the school school, and he can go there once a month to listen to the lectures, and he can usually review at home.
Fucheng is Fucheng, and the ten thousand taels of silver on his body are nothing here. It's easy to find some big families in the city. There are Jianghu sects secretly staring at it, and there are many masters of the six doors of the government.
Ten days ago, Chen Yue went to the most reputable Chen family pharmacy in Nancheng and bought 100 Haw Par Yijin Pills, which used more than 100 taels of silver.
Since the short-aged wild ginseng has no effect on him, it must be at least 100 years old to have a better effect. Fifty years can also be used.
It's a pity that this price is not what he can afford, fifty years a good wild ginseng, sold for 250 taels, plus a variety of additives, in fact, 450 taels may not be able to buy. When I got to the pharmacy, I don't know how many times I had poured my hands.
Now he can only settle for the next best thing, taking this Tiger and Par Yijin Pill every day. Refining and refining qi, refining the essence of essence and blood into internal qi.
Haw Par Yi Jin Pill contains Haw Par Qi and Blood Essence, and its effect is not under the wild ginseng. However, it is also expensive. It's not the way to sit and eat like this. Although the silver taels on his body are enough to cope with it for a long time.
Today he was going to the Dongcheng Pharmacy to buy some Haw Par Pills. I'm too lazy to make breakfast, just eat at the old Liu's cake shop on the edge of the alley.
The weather is still early, and there are not many people in Lao Liu's cake shop. There are not many diners and tea guests. There are only a few people. This place is called a cake shop, in fact, it should be called a dim sum shop in the current society, which is much different from the high-end casual restaurants of tea houses in later generations. There are differences, but the functionality is basically the same.
Lao Liu's cake shop is divided into two floors, and as soon as you enter the door, there are tables, chairs and benches where guests can sit. It is also commonly referred to as the lobby or lobby.
There is a lot of people coming and going in the food shops, and the rich and poor are uneven. The low-status and poor people ate in the lobby. People with a bit of status, who are not busy with life, will naturally eat on the second floor.
Although Chen Yue is not a rich man, he is at least a scholar, and he can also go upstairs.
He usually eats more, asks for more things, and comes more often, basically, there is still his seat upstairs.
After entering the door and going straight to the second floor, the guy came to greet him, "Xiao Er, first serve a pot of good tea and a few plates of snacks." Braised eggs, dough cakes, and two catties of cooked beef in sauce. ”
Xiao Er was also familiar with him, and said, "Please wait a while, I'll be here in a while!" went downstairs to prepare a meal for him;
