016 Eat well and do things
Although the bowl in my hand is not the best porcelain, it is also a good masterpiece. The most rare thing is the rice in the bowl, which is full and crystal clear, and there is not a single broken grain when you look closely.
When the greens are entered, Chen's beard is about to straighten - this cabbage is the most common, but it can make such a taste......
Chen Jisi moved the chopsticks, which meant that the other people at the dinner could move. The monks are usually used to walking sideways outside, so naturally they will not be polite, and the bearded monk directly reached out and grabbed a chicken leg and tore it up.
Everyone devoured it, and even Xinneng, who was still a Sven faction just now, was eaten with fierce eyes.
Zhao Xiang didn't eat much, only sandwiched a braised prawn and slowly peeled it - he put a lot of seasoning on this table, and in order to make the taste stronger, he did not hesitate to add monosodium glutamate. He usually doesn't care how others put him when he eats fast food outside, but when he cooks by himself, he never puts chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, which can be regarded as a little pursuit of health.
Of course, I can't take care of these things when I cook today, except for making them eat for the black cow, the dishes on this table are all "heavy taste".
The notorious monks of Kaiyuan Temple obviously didn't even want to pretend to be a little reserved, so that Zhao Xiang had doubts about the statement that "monks don't eat meat".
"Hey, young man, didn't you say there was wine? Why didn't you see it? What is the system if there is meat and no wine? The bearded man had a few pieces of meat crumbs on his mouth, and he munched on the big chicken leg as he spoke, but he didn't know that the young man Lang in his mouth was not younger than him.
Zhao Xiang smiled: "I have collected some sake, everyone wait a minute." ”
Considering that the Southern Song Dynasty probably did not have a high degree of liquor, Zhao Xiang was on the Bangziguo sake, and the alcohol content of 17 degrees was just right.
Half and two large glasses were placed, but the bearded monk was dissatisfied: "Why are you so stingy...... " Halfway through the words, he reacted and picked up the wine glass and was stunned. No matter how vulgar he is, he has always seen the glaze, and the seven treasure glazed cups hanging on the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the temple are well-deserved treasures of the temple, and this guy actually took the colorless glazed cup as a wine glass, how can this be true!
The bearded monk originally wanted to find a reason for the difficulty of his hair, so that he could take these treasures back and honor the abbot, and with this merit, no matter how bad it was, he could be promoted to the inner courtyard, and then he would no longer have to be outside every day in the wind and sun - but Chen Zhisi was here...... He decided to put up with it.
Zhao Xiang made a big move, and one person put a bottle of sake in a pound on the table, and the wine label had already been cleaned, and he was not afraid that they would see the stick text and think about it.
He Xianglao could still sit still, and hurriedly bowed down and poured wine for everyone one by one.
Sake is originally sweet and clear as water, which is obviously not as tall as words in the Southern Song Dynasty, where most people are still sifting wine. Chen Zhusi felt that Zhao Xiang was unfathomable, and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhao, I heard Master Xinkong say that you are a Nanyang expatriate, but you don't know where you live?" ”
"In the far south, it's called Atlantis......" Zhao Xiang replied with a wicked taste.
Chen Zhusi asked again, and Zhao Xiang reversed the set of rhetoric he had thought of before, but made a slight modification: "The clan heard that the inheritance of our clan's Huaxia lineage has been broken, and ordered me to come here to open branches and rebuild the ancestral hall......"
Anyway, no one has a way to verify their identity these days, as long as they can justify themselves. But in this way, everyone really regards him as a child of the Nanyang clan.
Full of wine and food, Xinkong took away the bearded monk and the three of them who ran errands, and took He Defang out to see the realm under the pretext, leaving Zhao Xiang and three officials alone in the hall.
Zhao Xiang also went straight to the point, took out three black flannel bags and handed them to the three officials, and said politely: "Today, there are three adults who can measure the field boundary, and there is still a little difficulty below......
Chen Zhusi checked the bag, said five taels less, and then opened it and took a look, all of them were excellent snowflake broken silver, each grain was uniform in size, obviously for the convenience of expenses, this gift was heavy enough. I was satisfied, and when I heard Zhao Xiang say that there was a difficulty, of course I couldn't turn a deaf ear, and responded: "Mr. Zhao has any difficulties, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
"That's the case, I came from Nanyang, so naturally I don't have the household registration of the Great Song Dynasty......"
"Mr. Zhao, don't worry, it's a trivial matter! At that time, it will be delivered along with the title deed. A bottle of sake went down, Chen Zhusi's face did not change, and the silver was even more smiling.
In the afternoon, things were much simpler, and Xinkong, as the representative of Kaiyuan Temple, surveyed the land on the spot with Zhao Xiang and the officials in charge of the county government.
This is the first time Zhao Xiang walked out of the mountain gate, followed the stone road all the way to the bottom of the mountain, walked to the riverside forest between the two mountains, standing in front of the wooden bridge, Zhao Xiang couldn't help but look at the other side of the river twice - it was there that the old road killed the mouth of the eight "assassins", but it was well disguised, and it was completely impossible to see that there had been a bloody case. If you want to say that this old way is still a bit of integrity, I didn't bury people on this side of the river but on the other side, otherwise I guess I won't dare to come here in the future, I panic when I think about it, the sun is on my head, but my back is soaked in cold sweat.
The three officials who got the benefits were naturally not ambiguous, but the black and thin little official was a little incomprehensible to Zhao Xiang.
Xinkong explained in a low voice on the side: "It's all up to him to do this, look at him, there is some gap between his feet......"
Zhao Xiang suddenly realized and nodded silently.
The measurement went smoothly and the scenery was pleasant. It's just that Zhangzhou seems to be really small in land, leaving a bamboo forest belt with a width of 20 meters as a "berm forest" by the river, and then paddy fields, and each field is only four or five acres in size, and is surrounded by a circle of wild forests, and the area of the outer circle of wild forests is obviously not smaller than the middle paddy field.
Zhao Xiang didn't bother to ask, anyway, Chen Zhisi said very clearly: only the area is calculated according to the paddy field, and the surrounding wasteland is borderless land and is not accounted for. With so much more area for no reason, Zhao Xiang was of course happy in his heart: "Old Hexiang, is this the field you rented?" ”
He Xianglao shook his head: "The land rented by our Wutian Village is in the south, and here is the rented land of Liushui Village in the north. ”
Xinneng answered: "Mr. Zhao, you don't have to worry about this, after the rent is collected this season, it is up to you to decide whether the villagers of Liushui will renew the rent, and the temple will send someone to say hello." ”
Zhao Xiang naturally didn't bother to worry about these things: "That's the best." ”
The small river separates the small and small Zhishan mountains and flows all the way south into Zhangshui, which is two miles away. Wutian Village is located at the foot of Xiaozhi Mountain, with huge trees and scattered thatched houses built under large trees. These big trees shade the sky and the sun, and it is no wonder that Zhao Xiang usually did not find such a village under the mountain when he was on the mountain.
The strange layout of the fields obviously gave Zhao Xiang a big advantage, and he didn't dare to imagine that there was so much wasteland only three miles away from the city. As a result, the area of paddy fields has been greatly reduced. When waiting for a group of people to be next to the stream to the west, the black and thin official who used the foot to replace the ruler didn't bother to go any further, and wrote and scratched under the paper with another person, and then reported to Chen Zhusi: "To the north is the river boundary between Kaiyuan Temple and Liutian Village, and that section of the river canal is straight from east to west, so there is no need to go to the one who just got together the year before last." It is bounded by the river of Dazhi Mountain in the east, this stream in the west, the Liutian Village Canal in the north, and the bank of the Zhangshui River in the south, with a total of 4,869 acres of registered paddy fields. ”
After speaking, he looked at Chen Zhusi, then at Zhao Xiang, and stopped talking.
Zhao Xiang was depressed in his heart, such a good large piece of land, surrounded by natural rivers as the boundary, if the price was a little more ruthless at that time, and he bit hard, the old monk of Fa Ming would definitely have to agree.
But that's not right, didn't Fa Ming say that there are only more than 150 hectares? More than 2,000 acres, who owns the other 2,000 acres? Don't get a Kaiyuan Temple and a closed Yuan Temple, then it's not interesting to travel and enjoy the plan by yourself.
Zhao Xiang was struggling, but Chen Zhisi spoke: "Mr. Zhao, do you think the short 131 acres of paddy fields should be made up on the other side of the stream, or will it end here?" ”
What the? One hundred and thirty-one acres of land less than me? Can you make up for it on the other side of the stream?
