Zhu Ping'an drove the horse and dragged the wild boar, and walked along the mountain road for more than half an hour, and then saw a small town near the mountain.

Zhu Ping'an rode a black horse and dragged a wild boar into the town, which caused quite a stir in the town. A young man who looks weak and honest can hunt such a huge wild boar, and the contrast is too stark. For a time, it attracted a lot of onlookers, and of course, it also attracted a lot of butchers, inns and restaurants.

The Chinese nation is a senior foodie, the Ming Dynasty is still at this time, the butcher and the people in the restaurant are well aware of the delicious wild boar meat cooked properly, the wild boar has a large amount of exercise, so the pork is firm and firm, very chewy, the flavor is unique, fragrant but not greasy. In addition, wild boar has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, and it also has several effects of fattening and nourishing the stomach, and has a certain power in the treatment of blood in the stool and hemorrhoidal bleeding.

Therefore, after learning the news, several butchers and restaurants and inns in the town flocked to surround Zhu Ping'an, who had just entered the town.

"This little brother, sell this wild boar to my Lao Liu, our Lao Liu is a sincere person, and he will never let you suffer." A butcher wearing an oily apron patted the wild boar on the sled, raised his head and said to Zhu Ping'an with satisfaction.

"Let's sell it to us Zhang Ji Restaurant, we are a trustworthy restaurant in the town." Another middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper was not to be outdone.

The butcher glanced at the shopkeeper of Zhang Ji Restaurant, "I said Brother Wang, what do you rob, you will still slaughter the wild boar, this wild boar will not be too late for me to slaughter and then divide you." ”

The shopkeeper of Zhang Ji Restaurant smiled, "Why, without you Zhang Butcher, I still have to eat hairy pigs." ”

"It's really a shame for us to Luoshan Town to quarrel in public, this little brother, you don't pay attention to them, this wild boar is sold to us Zuihualou." An aunt dressed in fancy clothes crossed the two of them and threw a wink at Zhu Ping'an.

Then the people began to quarrel with each other about buying the boar. The crowd of onlookers around also gathered around to watch the excitement, wanting to see how Zhu Ping'an responded.

"Ahem. Ping An just hunted such a wild boar by luck, and when he first came to your land, everyone was so enthusiastic, and Ping An was not easy to refuse. So be it. Let the boar be the one who has the highest price. ”

Zhu Ping'an turned over and dismounted, arched his hand towards everyone, and said with a sincere smile.

Auction is not a new sales model, auction has existed for a long time in Chinese history, Tang Xuanzong Kaiyuan 25 (737) edict: all those who pledge property. …… After the third anniversary of non-redemption, the auction will be held. Therefore, ancient auctions have been used for a long time, but they are used less.

As a result, the surrounding onlookers were blessed.

"I'll give 15 wen a pound." The king butcher was the first to speak.

Zhu Ping'an was silent about this, just looked at Wang Butcher with a smile, the wild boar that his father and eldest brother were lucky to hunt five years ago was sold for 15 wen a catty that year, and now you are only 15 wen.

"No, I'll pay 18 wen a pound."

Then Wang Butcher was a little embarrassed in Zhu Ping'an's smile and immediately changed his words.

"Hahaha. Wang Tu, no wonder Sister Hua said just now that you were embarrassed for us in Luoshan Town, and you were embarrassed to shout out 18 Wen?! I published 20 articles. The other butcher taunted the king butcher, then raised his oily hand and shouted.

Hahaha, the crowd of onlookers couldn't help but laugh at the king butcher.

"I'll write 25 articles." Wang Butcher gritted his teeth and said.

"I'll write 30 articles." At this time, the shopkeeper of Zhang Ji Restaurant spoke.

"35 Wen."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, out of interest, for the sake of face, and under the influence of various factors, the price of this wild boar was finally fixed at a high price of 40 Wen. The wild boar weighed 325 catties, allowing Zhu Ping'an to account as much as 13 taels of silver.

The wild boar hunted by my father and brother was only sold for 15 wen a catty. A total of more than four taels of silver, this wild boar is 40 wen a catty, and the price is more than three times higher.

Zhu Ping'an was quite satisfied and put the thirteen taels of silver into his arms, in order to express his gratitude to the surrounding onlookers. Zhu Ping'an spent two taels of silver to hand over to a nearby steamed bun shop, and invited the onlookers to eat meat buns for free, and two taels of silver was enough for the surrounding people to get two or three meat buns each.

It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and everyone is happy for a while.

After asking a cheerful uncle who eats meat buns, Zhu Ping'an continued to drive the horse, less dragged by wild boars. It's a lot faster to kill Matt's dark horse.

Sleeping in the open for 600 miles, the Ming Dynasty drank the water of the Manan River.

Sleeping in the open air, rushing for a day in a row, we arrived at Luzhou, which is known as "Huai's right throat, Jiangnan lips and teeth", that is, modern Hefei.

Approaching the evening, he rushed to the foot of the mountain called Longquan Mountain by the locals, and through the guidance of enthusiastic people, Zhu Ping'an led the black horse to kill Matt and went up the mountain along the mountain road, preparing to spend the night in a Longquan ancient temple built on the halfway of the mountain.

Longquan Ancient Temple is located on the mountainside of Longquan, above Longquan. The temple is named because of the spring, and the spring wins because of the temple. Legend has it that Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, once bathed the war horse with the spring water that gushes at the foot of the mountain in all seasons, and then won the world and became the true dragon emperor, so the spring water was named "Dragon Spring", and the temple on the mountainside was also called the Longquan Ancient Temple.

Morning bell and dusk drum, on the way up the mountain, Zhu Ping'an heard the Sanskrit sound from the ancient temple of Longquan, along the way also met several monks carrying water, of course, the most met is the pilgrims, there are rich businessmen, local villagers and some friends to invite tourists, of course, there are also pious believers. Before arriving in the temple, Zhu Ping'an could see through these crowds that the incense of Longquan Ancient Temple was extremely prosperous.

The temple is huge, walk to the temple gate, row by row, one by one buildings will meet Zhu Ping'an's eyes, the top of the temple is covered with glazed gold and splendor, the roof ridge is carved with a lot of Buddha, lifelike.

Entering the temple, Zhu Ping'an handed over ten incense money, and a small novice led Zhu Ping'an into the courtyard behind the temple for pilgrims to rest.

The courtyards are scattered and complex, there are small doors and separate courtyards, and there are also one next to each other, perhaps because Zhu Ping'an paid little incense money, Xiao Shami led Zhu Ping'an to the kind of rest courtyard next to each other.

The black horse that killed Matt was tied to the base of the wall, and Zhu Ping'an moved the things on the horse's back into a room of less than ten square meters in two parts.

There seem to be a lot of people living in this courtyard, there are pilgrims and scholars like themselves, and it seems that they vaguely heard the voice of the female dependent, it seems that they are next door, maybe a family came here to worship the Buddha, Zhu Ping'an didn't take it seriously.

After settling down, Zhu Ping'an washed his face and went out of the room.

Just now I heard the little novice say that the vegetarian food in the temple is quite famous, and under curiosity, Zhu Ping'an was ready to taste the vegetarian food in the temple.

There are a lot of pilgrims in the temple, and the temple also uses signs to guide the location of the building, and Zhu Ping'an is to find the hall of Longquan Ancient Temple according to the guidance. However, the recipes in the hall made Zhu Ping'an smack his tongue, steamed pork, plum dried button meat, braised chicken head, duck palm sweet soup, Gonghe fried fish, fried egg crisp, etc., etc.

Chickens, ducks and fish are all available, could it be that the monks of this temple also eat meat?

However, after a closer look, I realized that the pork is tofu, the chicken head is taro, the duck paw is white fungus, the fish is scaly eggplant, and the egg crisp is just a noodle drag.

Although it is a vegetarian dish, the taste is worthy of the little novice's boastful, and Zhu Ping'an's stomach rose slightly before he stopped the dishes and chopsticks. (To be continued.) )
