Chapter 399: Into the City
Early the next morning, Du Dalei, who had a good night's rest, got up early. He couldn't wait to break into Taychin's room.
"Monk, hurry up, let's go into the city to play!" Dare to love this guy is a lover of "Water Margin".
Taiqin was sleeping with his head covered, but was pulled out of the bed by Du Dalei.
"Lord Dushi, what are you doing here? Let the Sprinklers sleep a little longer. ”
"You, a monk of wine and meat, are either drunk or sleeping with your head covered. If you continue like this, your body will collapse! Hurry up and get up, let's go into town and get some activity. It's good to go to bed early and get up early, let's go into the city to exercise. ”
Tai Qin rubbed his eyes helplessly: "Okay, Master Dushi, don't make a fuss, can't you still do it after the Sprinkle family is gone?" Let go of me. ”
Du Dalei shuddered, and hurriedly let go of his hand: "Monk, don't obey me, I can't afford it!" Hurry up and get dressed, let's go into the city for dinner and go early. It is said that Bianliang's snacks are a must! ”
Taiqin put on his greasy monk's robe, followed Du Dalei out of the room, and walked towards the gate of the village.
When they came to the gate of the village, the two found that it was very lively. Many caravan men and local tenants were unloading from the wagons, and the gates of the farm were flooded.
Several personnel from the Ministry of Commerce and Wang Zhanyuan were discussing something together. Pang Xu and the animals of the escort team were also helping, carrying the unloaded goods to the warehouse.
Du Da Lei shouted: "Pang Xu, Chen Sanshi, Cui Daoming, hurry up and go into the city to play with Lao Tzu!" ”
Several people heard Du Dalei's shout and hurriedly ran over.
Cui Daoming asked, "Mr. Du, what is the matter with you taking us into the city?" ”
"Of course, there are important things, we have to take a good look at the market situation in Bianliang, and then we can decide how to sell the goods." You can also walk around casually, and we will eat some special snacks of Bianliang. ”
When several people heard Du Dalei's shameless words, they couldn't help laughing.
Chen Sanshi said: "Mr. Du, we haven't put all the goods into the warehouse yet, and now we are counting, so we won't go, right?" ”
Du Dalei shook his head: "You don't need to keep an eye on these little things, just let the caravan's stewards and guys do it." Didn't the boss explain, the task of the few of you is to accompany Lao Tzu and Monk Taiqin, and accompany us to eat, drink, and hang out. This is called 'escort'. You must complete the tasks assigned by the boss. ”
Hearing Du Dalei's straightforward tone, the three of them were very helpless.
Pang Xu said: "Anyway, I am responsible for protecting you and the master, and I will accompany you wherever you go." I'll go get ready first. ”
Chen Sanshi and Cui Daoming saw that Pang Xu was gone, and the two looked at each other, so they cautiously asked, "Mr. Du, can we not go?" There's still a lot to do! ”
"Of course not, the two of you are Lao Tzu's secretary and attendant, the leader travels, there must be a leader. You must follow, this is the command. ”
"What do you mean by a secretary?"
"You really have no culture, since the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial court has repeatedly issued edicts to ask for books, hidden in the palace secret house, and other idlers are rare to see, the word "secretary" comes from this. Didn't there be a secretary province in the Tang Dynasty? It is the institution in charge of the national classics. You are my secretaries, the people who serve me. ”
"Isn't that the job of your staff? What does it have to do with the secretary? ”
"It's really stupid, the staff is the secretary, the secretary is the staff, they all mean the same thing. Hurry up and pack up, and go into the city with Lao Tzu to open your eyes. ”
The two had no choice but to go back to change their clothes, and after a while, Pang Xu gathered in front of the door with more than 20 young men dressed as men, and they all stood neatly.
Seeing that they looked like iron-blooded soldiers, Du Dalei straightened his back, looked at himself sharply, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Pang Xu, this can't work. They're too serious, not like the caravan guys, who will be goofy like this. ”
Pang Xule said: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a while." ”
Pang Xu waved his hand: "Disband!" ”
The lads immediately slackened, squatted down in twos and threes, and began to ramble nonsense, all looking like the slippery people in the well market.
Du Dalei was surprised: "Pang Xu, why have they changed so much?" Who trained this? ”
"Of course it's Mr. Zhao, we were all taught by him."
At this time, Chen Sanshi and Cui Daoming came out after changing their clothes, and Pang Xu shouted: "Let's go." ”
The guards drove several carriages out of the gate of the village.
Du Dalei asked, "Pang Xu, what are you doing with these carriages?" ”
"Of course, it's to transport goods to Bianliang, otherwise so many of us will enter the city, empty-handed, and we won't be arrested by Bianliang's gatekeepers?"
Du Dalei nodded: "Not bad, not bad, Pang Xu, you are very powerful!" Lao Tzu didn't think of this. ”
Tai Qin boarded the carriage and turned around and said, "Sprinkle the family to sleep for a while, don't wake me up." ”
Du Dalei snorted: "You just sleep, after entering the city, we will go to eat delicious food and leave you on the street." ”
Tai Qin ignored the second cargo and got into the carriage and went to sleep.
Du Dalei and Pang Xu, Chen Sanshi, and Cui Daoming chatted while walking, and everyone followed the convoy and marched towards Bianliang City.
Out of the small village, to the official road, here there is an endless stream of cars, horses and pedestrians, all going to Bianliang City.
With the flow of people for more than an hour, everyone saw the majestic and magnificent Bianliang City.
"Wow, that's huge!" Some of the guards exclaimed.
Du Dalei pouted: "A group of dirt buns, if they are allowed to see the Beijing City of the future, they will not faint with excitement." ”
Everyone slowly approached the city gate with the flow of people, and Du Dalei looked up to see that the city gate was engraved with three big characters of "Old Cao Gate".
After the soldiers guarding the city checked the convoy, they found no problems and let it go.
When we entered the city gate, we found that the streets in the city were very bustling on both sides, full of shops and stalls, and the merchants were shouting hard.
Pang Xu asked, "Lao Du, where are we going?" ”
"You ask me, who do I ask? It's the first time I've been here. You idiot, you won't ask where to eat. Lao Tzu is dying of hunger, let's eat enough first. ”
Pang Xu scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
He hurried to some of the stalls and began to make noise.
After some exchanges, Pang Xu soon ran back.
"Lao Du, they say that there are a lot of delicious foods in the inner city, and we are in the outer city now."
"Then hurry up to the inner city, Lao Tzu's stomach is going to be hungry."
So they drove their wagons to the inner city. After entering Xincaomen, Pang Xu inquired about the road clearly, and everyone walked towards Mahang Street.
After turning a few streets, I came to a street lined with shops.
It's full of shops of all kinds, and it's a sight to behold.
Many of the guards from the backwoods were dazzled, their mouths wide open, and their saliva was about to flow.
Du Dalei pointed to a magnificent-looking restaurant, "This is it, you leave a few people to guard the carriage, and we will go in and have a big meal." ”
Everyone came to the door of the restaurant, and several guys from the restaurant hurriedly greeted them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside."
Du Dalei understood what the guy said, he lifted the curtain and shouted, "Monk, come out and eat." ”
Reluctantly, Taichin got up and jumped out of the carriage.
"Lord Dushi, disturbing people's dreams is a very annoying thing. What are you yelling about? ”
"Monk, let's go in and taste the food of Bianliang, don't sleep."
Du Dalei dragged Taiqin to the restaurant, and the guy in the restaurant opened the door of a mansion next to him and asked the guards to drive the carriage in, saying that the restaurant would have someone to guard the carriage and let the guards go in to eat.
Du Dalei nodded secretly, it seems that the service of this restaurant is very humane! I guess business will be good.
After entering the lobby of the restaurant, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper walked over and arched his hand to Du Dalei with a smile: "This distinguished guest, do you want to sit downstairs or go upstairs to eat?" ”
Du Dalei didn't have many guests on the first floor, because it might not be noon yet, and there were many empty tables.
"There are a lot of us, so let's sit downstairs."
The shopkeeper listened to Du Dalei's Sichuan-style Mandarin diligently, and he should have understood.
Du Dalei sat at a table with Tai Qin, Chen Sanshi, Cui Daoming, and Pang Xu, and the other guards found a place to sit down.
The shopkeeper asked, "Honorable guest, I wonder what you want to eat?" ”
Pang Xu asked, "If you have anything to eat, just serve it." ”
The shopkeeper thought about it and said: "The food in our store has soup cakes, cooking cakes, various steamed buns, mutton soup, and more dishes, I don't know what you want to order?" ”
When Du Dalei came, Cui Daoshu gave him all kinds of knowledge, and he knew that the current soup cake was the noodles of later generations. The cooking cake is the steamed bread of later generations. And the current steamed buns are the buns of later generations.
Du Dalei shouted: "Lao Tzu wants to eat meat steamed buns and mutton soup, you can order the rest yourself." ”
So everyone else ordered their favorite meal, and the guy immediately went to prepare it.
Seeing that Taiqin didn't order, Du Dalei asked, "Monk, why don't you order?" ”
Tai Chin said, "Shopkeeper, what kind of meat do you have here?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at Tai Qin in surprise: "This master, do you want to eat meat?" ”
Taiqin nodded, and the shopkeeper hurriedly introduced: "Our store has mutton, fat chicken, fat goose, and dog meat." ”
Tai Qin said: "Then let's have a fat chicken, and then two catties of dog meat." ”
Du Dalei, who was drinking tea, almost choked to death, "Monk, you eat such greasy food in the morning?" Are you not afraid of cerebral thrombosis and myocardial infarction? ”
Taiqin glanced at him, and Du Dalei felt speechless, so he muttered to himself: "Eat death and pull down, and there is one less scourge in the world." ”
The shopkeeper saw that everyone didn't say anything, so he shook his head and went to prepare.
