Chapter 29 Wuqi Street, Kaifeng City
"Take a shower!" Li Zhang threw a set of clothes to the wild dog, a few days ago he asked the ugly girl to pull a few pieces of cloth, and made a set of clothes for the children in the family, and now everyone has changed into new clothes, but Li Zhang's changed clothes are not willing to throw away, but washed and patched, planning to keep them for change and wear in the future, and now they are just given to wild dogs.
"What do you do in the bath?" Wild dogs don't seem to have the habit of bathing, in fact, from the time Li Zhang saw him, this kid was covered in black mud, and he could smell the stench three feet away from him, if it wasn't for the injuries all over his body before, and there was no way to get wet, I'm afraid Li Zhang would have let people wash his whole body again.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to Kaifeng City, you go with me!" Li Zhang immediately said that wild dogs live underground all year round, have serious lack of life experience, and don't even have any concept of good and evil, so Li Zhang wants to take him into Kaifeng City to take a look around and experience the life of ordinary people.
Hearing that Li Zhang was going to take himself into the city, the wild dog nodded indifferently, the hot water had been boiled, the wild dog brought it over and poured it into a broken tank in the yard, and then directly stripped naked and jumped in, but in the blink of an eye, the tank of water was all black, Li Zhang wanted to boil some hot water again, but the wild dog didn't care about the heat and cold, poured out the water after washing it once, and then rinsed it directly with cold water, the spring morning was still very cold, but the wild dog didn't care at all.
When the wild dog finished washing and changed into clothes, Douzi and Ugly Niang also happened to come to eat, but when they saw the wild dog that changed into clothes, they didn't dare to recognize each other for a while, in fact, they didn't blame them, even Li Zhang couldn't believe it when he saw the wild dog after changing clothes, only to see that the wild dog had delicate facial features, and because the skin was a little sickly white because of the lack of sunlight all year round, the long hands and feet were naturally taller than Li Zhang, so the wild dog at this time looked like a delicate and fair-skinned teenager.
"You...... Are you a wild dog? Douzi circled around the wild dog twice at this time, and asked with a look of disbelief, and the ugly girl next to him stared at the wild dog directly, and the little stars were about to appear in her eyes, don't look at this girl's uglyness, but I usually like to listen to the stories of those talented and beautiful people, although the current wild dog is dressed in shabby, but if it is changed into a shirt, it is a weak little scholar.
"Yes!" The wild dog was also uncomfortable at this time by the eyes of Douzi and the ugly girl, even if he was usually stared at by a group of people to eat, it was not as uncomfortable as now.
"Okay, it's not early, you guys go out of the stall early after eating, I'll take the wild dogs to see the yard we want to rent, if nothing else, we will have our own yard in a few days, and then you don't have to sleep in the shack every day!" At this time, Li Zhang dispersed the beans and said.
"Huh? Who is he? At this moment, the raccoon dog also rubbed his eyes and came out of the house, and saw a neat wild dog and shouted in surprise, although there was a thief yesterday, this girl slept very dead, even if Lu Wu tossed the two thieves in the yard just now, he didn't wake her up.
Seeing the beaved look, Douzi and Ugly Niang and others were also laughing, and then cooking, preparing things, and waiting until breakfast was ready, Li Zhang also called the wild dog to eat together, but as soon as the wild dog sat down, the ugly girl put a basket of cooking cakes in front of him, Li Zhang probably counted, a few more than usual, which made him sigh, the handsome man can really be eaten as a meal!
When he was eating, Lu Wu also came back, Xiangfu County Ya was in Kaifeng City, he didn't need to personally send the two thieves to the county Ya, but handed them over to the officials of Bianhe Town, and someone would naturally escort them over at that time.
"Uncle Wu, let's eat together and then go!" Li Zhang saw Lu Wu and immediately greeted him, Lu Wu was not polite, he knew that Li Zhang's children earned more than himself, so he also sat down, and the raccoon dog also served him a bowl of porridge, but before Lu Wu could move his chopsticks, he was startled by the wild dog eating next to him.
Although Lu Wu had heard from the raccoon dog before, he didn't know what kind of Dafa it was, and now he looked at a basket of cooking cakes in front of the other party, plus half a pot of porridge, under the left and right bows of the wild dog, a basket of cooking cakes was less than half in the blink of an eye, and half a pot of rice porridge quickly bottomed out.
"He's eating so much all the time?" Lu Wu asked Li Zhang in a low voice at this time.
"Yes, he can eat more than a dozen of us at a time, but it's not surprising, after all, he has so much strength, and it's normal to have a large amount of food." Li Zhang also replied with a smile at this time.
"This kid is born with divine power, I am not as good as him with strength alone, and he reacts quickly, his hands and feet are long, and he is a good seedling for martial arts." Lu Wu said thoughtfully at this time, which made Li Zhang's heart move, but he opened his mouth and still didn't say anything.
After breakfast, Lu Wu took Li Zhang and the wild dog to prepare to enter the city, and the raccoon dog was also clamoring to go, Lu Wu felt the most sorry for the raccoon, so without waiting for Li Zhang's statement, he nodded in agreement, so the four of them set off together, and by the way, they also promised to bring gifts to the ugly lady and others.
Bianhe Town was originally attached to Kaifeng City, the distance between the two sides is also very close, standing in Bianhe Town, you can see the city wall of Kaifeng City, as long as you walk along the Bianhe River, you can come to Kaifeng City in less than an hour, Bianhe River flows into Kaifeng City through a water gate, and there is a corner gate next to the water gate, called Bianhe Corner Gate, Li Zhang They entered Kaifeng City through the corner gate.
As soon as you enter the city, you will be greeted by a prosperous atmosphere, only to see that the wide street is full of traffic and carriages, most of the two sides of the street are two-story wooden buildings, most of the downstairs are open shops to do business, all kinds of shop flags are waving in the wind, people live upstairs, from time to time you can see which little lady opens the window, revealing half a slender figure, provoking the disciples downstairs to shout, but they are often greeted by the pouring of face water.
This wide street is called Nanmen Street, and then the south of the road is the world-famous Kaifeng Mansion, but the current Kaifeng Mansion Yin is not Bao Zheng, calculate the time, the current Bao Zheng is only in his twenties, it is estimated that he is studying hard at home, and will not be admitted to the Jinshi until a few years later, as for waiting until he does Kaifeng Mansion Yin, it will have to wait for more than 20 years.
After Lü Wu took Li Zhang and them into Nanmen Street, they were still far away from Kaifeng Mansion and turned directly north to a slightly smaller street, and then walked forward for about a mile, and finally turned into a street that was not wide, and the paved yard that Lü Wu found for Li Zhang was on this street.
"This street is called Wuqi Street, because there is a Wuqi Temple at the westernmost end of the street, although this street is not very long, but there are many residents around, plus there are cattle and horse markets and vegetable markets on the side of Wuqi Temple, many people pass by this street every day, so the location of the shop here is quite good, usually want to rent, don't think about it if you don't have forty or fifty times a year." Lu Wu walked to Li Zhang, and introduced them.
Li Zhang observed the situation on the street while listening to Lu Wu's introduction, and saw that there were indeed shops on both sides of the street, pedestrians were flowing endlessly, and many people were brightly dressed, even if it was ordinary people's clothes, they were not like the people in Bianhe Town, and the capital was worthy of being the capital, and the quality of life here was obviously a level higher than outside.
But when Li Zhang and the others walked forward, they suddenly found that the raccoon dog was gone, which made him panic, but when he turned his head, he found that the girl was standing in front of the frying sugar cake stall, staring at the fried sugar cake with both eyes, and her saliva was about to flow out.
The so-called sugar cake, in fact, is to wrap the dough with sugar, knead it into a cake shape and fry it in the pot, when it is fried to golden brown on both sides, the sugar in the time will also melt, because the sugar in the Song Dynasty is more expensive, so the price of such sugar cakes is not cheap, at least Li Zhang's brothers and sisters can't afford it at all, even if they have money now, the raccoon dog still looks at it and doesn't dare to let Li Zhang buy it.
Seeing the greedy appearance of the raccoon dog, Li Zhang couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and immediately turned around and bought four sugar cakes, originally he wanted to buy more and bring them back to the beans, but he thought that he would have to meet with the people who rented out the yard for a while, and it was inconvenient to hold too many things, so he decided that it would not be too late to buy them when he went back.
With the sugar cake, the raccoon's happy eyes smiled into crescents, and he carefully gnawed on the sugar cake while walking, Lu Wu didn't like to eat sweet, so he gave his own to the raccoon, Li Zhang and the wild dog were one by one, but the wild dog disappeared as soon as he opened his mouth, and Li Zhang even suspected that he didn't taste whether the sugar cake was sweet or salty?
"Here, in front of us is the yard we want to rent!" After walking about half a street, Lu Wu pointed to a two-story wooden building in front of him, Li Zhang saw that he hurriedly accelerated his pace, and when he approached, he found that this wooden building covers an area of not large, about twenty or thirty square meters, and the door face downstairs is also very small, and compared with the bustle of other shops around, the front of this small building is very deserted, and even when many people walk to the front of the building, they will deliberately take a few steps, as if they are afraid of getting bad luck.
"Lu Bantou, you are here, the little one has been waiting for you for a long time!" At this moment, I saw a person walking out of the small building, and saw Lu Wu also immediately greeted him, only to see that this person was about the same age as Lu Wu, round and chubby, with a wisp of mountain beard under his chin, and Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed a little cunning, and he looked like a shrewd businessman.
"Shopkeeper Li doesn't have to be polite to me, it's my nephew who wants to rent your yard, let's go first and have a look, if it's good, discuss the price again." Lu Wu pointed to Li Zhang beside him at this time.
This chubby shopkeeper Li saw that Li Zhang turned out to be a thin teenager, which made him stunned, but he was a person in the business field, and he did not lose his temper when he was well-informed, but arched his hand at Li Zhang, and then took them in, and Li Zhang was also full of expectations at this time, if nothing else, this is their new home, and it is also the first step for him to do business into Kaifeng City.
