Half a month of time gently paddled by the quiet water town. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sunset is fiery red, and the glow is reflected.

On the stone table in the small courtyard is a pot of steaming, fragrant fish soup, next to a plate of green and refreshing sand and salt wild vegetables, and two oily roasted hares wrapped in fresh lotus leaves.

The old man, Cuicui, and Yunshan sat around the stone table.

Cuicui seemed so busy at any time, filling the old man's wine glasses while busy serving Yunshan vegetables. The perennial wind and sun have made the smooth face slightly red, the clear eyes, the slightly upturned nose, and a neat linen dress cover the slightly slender figure.

The old man was eating with relish on the side, his gray beard, his drunken face was even redder, and after every sip of wine, he had to take care of his own "bahaw" to taste a few times, and occasionally asked Yunshan to have a drink with him.

This warm scene made Yunshan feel as if he had returned to Xiaohu Village, remembering the scene with his father and sister, and couldn't help but be stunned with the soup bowl。。。。。。

"Yunshan, thank you! My grandfather and I are going to rent a long-term shop in the city with mountain goods, which will be used to sell dried fish, bacon and fur from our village in the future. Cuicui looked at Yunshan and said sincerely.

"Huh? Oh, that's good, grandpa is old, I'm afraid it's not a long-term solution to keep fishing, and besides, the wine in the city is better. Yun Shan was suddenly interrupted by Cuicui's words, and replied a little incoherently.

"Haha, Yunshan still understands me, let's have another drink." The old man laughed when he heard Yun Shan's words, raised his wine glass and said.

"Hmph, drink it, this is the last jar, and there will be no more after drinking." Cuicui feigned anger.

"It's okay.,Won't you go to the city tomorrow to catch the market?,Just exchange some.,I heard that in the restaurant in the city,There's a kind of wine.,It's soaked in the bladder of the monster tiger bear.,Tsk。。。 I don't know what it's like. The old man said to himself.

Yun Shan listened to the old man's words, and his heart moved slightly.

Cuicui seemed to have long been accustomed to the old man's self-talk, and ignored him. Instead, he stared at Yun Shan with those clear eyes and asked, "Do you have any plans after entering the city tomorrow?" , I heard that there are many big families in the city who will recruit masters who know qigong, will you go? After speaking, he unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes with one hand.

Yun Shan smiled faintly at Cuicui, shook his head and said, "I don't have any plans for the time being, but I definitely won't go to those families." ”

Cuicui pouted, puffed out her cheeks to breathe a sigh of relief, and after showing a smile at Yun Shan, she happily continued to eat.

Neither of them noticed that the old drunkard on the side did not "chirp" after taking a sip of wine, but shook his head gently.

。。。。。。

More than a dozen rafts, towed by the canopy boats, slowly docked at the pier outside the Southern Imperial City. Yun Shan jumped off the boat and helped the villagers unload the bundles of mountain goods on the raft one by one, while observing the city in front of him.

It may be that there is no demon beast infestation, the walls of the Southern Imperial City are not as tall as Yuquan City, only slightly higher than the courtyard walls of ordinary people. However, judging from the cracks in the boulders used to build the city walls, this city has a much older history than Yuquan City.

They unloaded all the mountain goods and piled them up like a small hill by the dock, arranged for a few people to take care of them, and the others brought some samples of the mountain goods into the city to find buyers.

Yunshan also followed the old man and Cuicui into the city, there were no guards at the city gate, and the streets of the bazaar were slightly narrower than those of Hequan City. But perhaps because today is the day when the villagers are rushing to the market, the streets are crowded with people, and the blocked water is impassable.

"Cuicui, where are you going to rent a shop?" Yunshan saw that this place was so lively, it was a good place to open a store, and there were also a few shops on both sides of the street with signs for rent, but Cuicui and the old man didn't mean to go in and ask, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hee-hee! Yunshan, you don't know, don't look at the lively place today, and as soon as the three days of the market pass, this street will be deserted, and if you rent a shop here, the usual business will not be too good. I'm going to go to the front street to rent a shop, there is a restaurant on that street called Juxian Building, even if it is full of people on weekdays, the business on that street is better, but the rent is much more expensive. Cuicui knew that Yunshan didn't understand the situation, so she patiently explained.

"There is also a restaurant called Juxian Lou here? There's one in my hometown too! Yun Shan said in surprise.

"Ahh Is it? The shopkeeper of this restaurant is really powerful, and the business has gone so far! Cuicui sighed, admiring the boss of Juxian Building very much.

。。。。。。

"It's a good location, let's go in and have a look." When a few people passed in front of a wine workshop not far from Juxian Building, the old man was the first to see the sublease sign hanging in front of the door, greeted him, and eagerly walked a few steps quickly and entered the door.

Yun Shan and Cuicui looked at each other and smiled and followed.

The interior of the shop is relatively spacious, with a long counter, and the shelves behind the counter are filled with jars of liquor. The jars are sealed with mud and have a sheepskin label with the name and price of the wine, so that guests can walk to the counter and see at a glance that they can easily choose their favorite wine. Seven or eight mahogany tables were placed in the center of the room for guests to rest and drink, but the large room was filled with only two people sitting in the corner to drink, indicating that business had been deserted.

The shopkeeper was an old man, who looked slightly younger than the white-bearded old man, slightly fat, with a round face and rosacea, and wore a silk robe with gold trim on a black background. When the shopkeeper saw the old man and a few people walking in, he immediately came over to say hello.

"What do you want to drink? You can buy it whole, or sit in the store and drink it. ”

The white-bearded old man didn't seem to hear the shopkeeper's words, but just looked at the wine on the shelf and swallowed his saliva.

Seeing this, Cuicui replied: "We are here to rent a shop, I wonder if we can use mountain goods to offset the price?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was slightly stunned and immediately rejoiced: "Eight hundred silver wolf teeth every month, at least half a year's rent at a time, can be used to offset the price of mountain goods." ”

Cuicui was not surprised by the high price of the showcase, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Excuse me... Can I pay one month's rent upfront? We... “

"This is not good, don't hide a few, this shop is not far from the Juxian Building, the drinkers like to go to the Juxian Building to drink, my business here is very bleak, in order to maintain this store I also owe a lot of debts, now I am anxious to use the money, and if this shop is changed to other businesses, it will definitely be prosperous." At most, I only charge five months' rent at a time, which is already the biggest concession I can make. The shopkeeper's attitude was very resolute, and he directly interrupted Cuicui's words and said:

The location of this shop is very good and very spacious, much better than Cuicui's heart expected, although it was expected that the price would not be affordable, but when the truth came out of the shopkeeper's mouth, there was still some discouragement and disappointment.

"How much does it cost to buy this store?" Yun Shan asked the shopkeeper abruptly.

When the shopkeeper heard Yun Shan's words, he was stunned again, and then looked Yun Shan up and down a few times, and found that this young man was much calmer than his peers, and his breath was restrained, unlike ordinary rural villagers, his face was a little polite, and he replied:

"The shops on this street can't be purchased with silver wolf teeth, only with precious materials, and the materials required must be at least five high-grade weapons in Juxian Building."

Cuicui didn't know what Yun Shan was doing, but she believed that Yun Shan was not a reckless person, so she just watched the two talk suspiciously. The old man touched and sniffed the jars one by one on the wine shelf.

Yun Shan listened to the shopkeeper's words and nodded, took off a leather bag behind him, handed it to the shopkeeper and said:

"There are some materials here, you can go to Juxian Building to find someone to identify them now, and if you are satisfied, you can use the materials in this bag to buy your shop."

The shopkeeper took the bag with both hands, and suddenly felt that his hand sank and almost fell to the ground. Reluctantly carrying the bag, he opened the mouth of the bag and looked inside, and was immediately overjoyed, and said, "Please wait a moment!" So he took the bag and ran out of the door.

As soon as the shopkeeper left, Cuicui opened his eyes and asked, "Yunshan!" What's in that bag? Why does it seem heavy? ”

Yun Shan didn't speak, just smiled mysteriously at Cuicui. Then he walked up to the old man and saw that he was smelling in front of a jar with a "hundred fruits" label. Immediately knowing that the old man liked this jar of wine, he picked up the jar with one hand, took two large bowls, put them on a mahogany table, opened the mud seal of the jar, poured two bowls full, and said, "I have invited this jar of wine, and if you want to drink it, come quickly." After speaking, he ignored the old man and drank it to himself.

The old man vaguely knew that the origin of Yunshan was not simple, and since he said "please", there must be a way to pay for the wine. With a joy in his heart, he picked up the bowl and drank it to the sky. After drinking, I was used to tasting the "let's chirp", and my face was full of intoxication.

Half of the jar was drunk, and the shopkeeper had already run in from outside, and the leather bag was gone. As soon as he entered the door, he came to Yunshan, took out two land deeds and house deeds made of animal skins from his arms, and said excitedly: "These are deeds, are you satisfied with them?" ”

Yun Shan looked at it carefully for a while, nodded and said, "Satisfied." ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then I will leave now!" With that, he walked out the door.

Cuicui was a little confused, and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper wait!" , the liquor in this shop。。。。。。 ”

As soon as the shopkeeper walked to the door of the store, he heard Cuicui's question, turned around and said with a smile: "All the wine, tables and chairs are given to you!" After speaking, as if he was afraid that Yunshan would regret it, his slightly chubby body became extremely sensitive, and he ran away.

Cuicui's small mouth opened slightly, stood at the door in surprise, looked at the direction where the shopkeeper left for a while, and then reacted, flew into the store, pinched her waist with both hands, and shouted eagerly at Yunshan: "Yunshan!" What materials did you give to the shopkeeper in exchange for this shop? Look at the way he left! We're definitely at a loss。。。。。。 ”
