Chapter Eighty-Three: What Qingping Sees and Hears (2)
The guards of the fort passed first, and when the carriage approached, Shi Wen saw an old man coming up.
Shi Wen hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and bowed: "Shi Wen has seen the elder." ”
"The stone shopkeeper is polite, the little old man's surname is Tie, he is the Li Zheng of this Tiejiabao, the stone shopkeeper can come to Tiejiabao, and the little old man is welcome."
"It turned out to be Tetsurimasa." Shi Wen was immediately solemn, although Li Zheng is not an official, but his power is very great, especially Li Zheng like Tiejiabao, he is also a strong party, if he meets in the city, Shi Wen will not care, but this is Tiejiabao, Shi Wen does not dare to slack off.
In the county seat, Quan Gang personally received, came to Tiejiabao, and was received by Lizheng, which made Shi Shopkeeper feel quite comfortable, although he had quite a family asset, but in this era of Shinong Industry and Commerce, such courtesy did make Shi Wen have a feeling of being valued.
"Come, shopkeeper Shi, it's important to get down to business, little old man will take you to see the grapes."
"Trouble is right."
"Don't bother, don't bother, the stone shopkeeper can come, the little old man is very happy."
Led by the iron horse, Shi Wen passed through the people who were building the road, and they were either curious, or joyful, or inquisitive at them, Shi Wen smiled and nodded in response, Shi Wen could feel that these Tiejiabao people were very different from the people of Mingfeng County, as for which point was different, Shi Wen thought about it carefully, and finally thought of a word: angry.
This anger does not mean to be angry, but to be vigorous, in Mingfeng County, ordinary people live in difficulty, walking with a sad face, and distressed for the next livelihood, but on the faces of these Tiejiabao people, Shi Wen can't see this.
"These Tiejiabao people must have a good life, all of them are full of red light." Shi Wen said darkly.
However, after he stepped on the cement road, he no longer had the heart to care about the life of the people of Tiejiabao, and his attention was all attracted by the cement road.
"It's a really good road." Shi Wen couldn't help but stomp hard, and the sense of steadiness under his feet let him know that this road was really good, such a wide and smooth avenue, not to mention Feng County, even if it was Fancheng, the capital of Nanhai County, there was no one.
Iron Horse saw Shi Wen's movements, and asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper Shi also thinks this road is good?" ”
Shi Wen nodded: "Yes, this road is wonderful, is this all paved with that sacred object called cement?" ”
"That's right." Iron Horse said proudly: "This road is paved with cement, it is a sacred object brought by the Dragon King from the heavenly realm, and now the cement road is not paved much, but the Dragon King said that this cement road will also be paved to Qingping County in the future." ”
"Is it to the county seat? How long does that have to be laid? Shi Wen was a little shocked.
"It won't take long, just last year, we have paved hundreds of miles of cement road, although this cement road is wider, but at the end of this year, it will definitely be paved to the county seat, and when this road is paved, it will be much more convenient for Tiejiabao and the county seat."
Shi Wen nodded, as a merchant who often transports goods, especially wine, he deeply understands how rare a good road is, now the wine is filled in jars or wooden barrels, he has encountered many times because the road is too poor and the carriage overturns, and all the wine is spilled on the ground, if it is such a good road, then there is no need to worry?
Shi Wen is now a little looking forward to it, looking forward to this road being repaired to the county seat as soon as possible, and it is best to repair it to the side of the weir bridge.
After a while, without the guidance of the iron horse, Shi Wen saw a large grape trellis in front of him.
"Wow, many, too many, there are so many grapes in this Tiejiabao?" Shi Wen was shocked.
In Shi Wen's eyes, almost all of them were green, and it felt like it was boundless, and in the far, far away, he could see some roofs, but even if there was greenery on these roofs, obviously, grapes.
Originally, the grapes planted in the county town were enough to shock him, and this Tiejiabao shocked him even more.
When he arrived, Shi Wen found that there was not only this cement road, but also some small roads, which took this avenue as the main trunk and extended to both sides, and similarly, not only were grapes planted on both sides of the avenue, but there were also grapes on both sides of those paths.
In addition, Shi Wen also saw that although the grapes on these shelves had already borne fruit, the fruit was still very small, but Shi Wen was not worried at all.
"The grapes on these roads were planted later, first in the village, and the grapes were already red. ”
Passing by this cement road full of grapes, looking at the green grape trellises on both sides, the breeze blowing, the leaves came out with a soft sound, and vaguely, the tip of the nose smelled a slightly sweet smell, Shi Wen only felt relaxed, and the fatigue of a long time had already been swept away.
"It's really a place for gods." Shi Wen couldn't help but admire, even if he couldn't buy wine on this trip, Shi Wen felt that this trip was worth it, this kind of scenery, where can he usually see it, if he is a reader full of poetry and books, maybe he will chant a few words at this moment, such as: Ten miles of avenue is full of incense, a bunch of grapes give Shi Wen and other words...
The closer to Tiejiabao, Shi Wen found that the longer the grapes, the better, there are already some plump grape skins hanging with a slight red, and the aroma here is also more intense, this is a pure grape fragrance, which makes people want to smell.
Under the leadership of the Iron Horse, Shi Wen stepped into the Iron Family Fort.
Tiejiabao is just like what Shi Wen saw outside, many roofs are covered with grapevines, and the grapes are similar to the outside, but there don't seem to be many people in the village, and it seems a little quiet.
A group of children ran past the neighborhood, and when they saw the iron horse, they all bowed and saluted, calling them the fourth grandfather.
"What are you going to do?"
"Fourth grandfather, the dragon king said that there are birds to eat grapes, let's drive those birds away."
"Oh, that's good, let's go, be careful, don't run all sweat."
After the children left, Shi Wen asked cautiously, "Tie Lizheng, the dragon king is also here?" ”
"Well, does Shopkeeper Shi want to ask to see the Dragon King?"
Shi Wen coughed slightly: "That... The dragon king is mighty, the little Fu Bo is still gone..."
"Oh, let's talk about grapes."
Shi Wen nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, only talk about grapes." ”
Iron Horse took Shi Wen around Tiejiabao, although Shi Wen was a little weak in his heart, for fear that he would meet the so-called Dragon King, but he didn't know whether he should be said to be lucky or unlucky, he didn't see the Dragon King along the way.
After turning around, Shi Wen had already eaten three bunches of grapes, and even his stomach was a little swollen after eating.
These grapes are big and sweet, full of pulp, without a single seed, and they are definitely the best fruits that Shi Wen has ever eaten in his life.
After a lap, the iron horse lit a dry cigarette and took two puffs: "Shopkeeper Shi, what do you think of these grapes?" ”
Shi Wen knew that it was time to get down to business.
