Chapter 195, a beautiful knife
The two little loli sat on the side with their heads down, and they didn't squeak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info one is better than the other.
Zhao Yanqing is well-educated. It just so happens that what she has received since she was a child is not the kind of imperial examination-style education that does not distinguish between grains and grains. She doesn't need to go to the imperial examination. Lori's father is a painter, musician, football enthusiast, and an enthusiast of Xiuzhen and Dandao. Therefore, the little princess of Yanqing also studied astronomy, medicine, astrology, arithmetic, and chemistry.
Along the way, she is not ignorant, and she doesn't know anything about the southeast and northwest. On the contrary, every time she changes her itinerary, she knows it in her heart.
It's not that hard at all. It's easy to determine which direction is east before noon. Along the way, sometimes on foot, sometimes packed and thrown in a donkey cart, this approximate speed, I also have a general idea in my mind. Especially for the length of time passing,Yu Lori's intuition is very keen.ć She could probably acquiesce at the approximate range of what the bandit had traveled with her all the way. I could guess that the group had passed the border of Jiyang County, and I vaguely guessed that the final destination was the southeast.
She couldn't guess what the bandit was thinking. But I think it's okay to go. So he was especially reluctant to interfere with the idea of the bandit uncle. If the bandit changes his mind and turns north, it won't be good.
That is, with such an idea not to disturb, Zhao Yanqing behaved very sensibly at this time. Tsundere doesn't pretend to be anything, and the naturally superior POSE is no longer placed, and he doesn't talk any nonsense, and seriously cooperates with this bandit uncle.
Liang Hongyu was also very quiet. She probably hadn't woken up yet, and she was absent-minded.
So the itinerary of the second day after the big kidnapping case was extraordinarily harmonious. (The fact that a princess is wrapped in a straw mat is not particularly discordant for all three parties.) ļ¼
So Wu Song brazenly wanted to cut ten catties of beef so exaggeratedly, and the shopkeeper didn't ask why. The two little Loli didn't talk much.
In a few moments, steaming cooked beef was served.
Surprisingly, along with this large plate of meat, there was also a bowl of mellow and fragrant high-grade malt wine.
Wu Song lowered his head, sniffed, and praised: "Good wine!" ā
but he refused to drink.
Stared at the shopkeeper and questioned: "Sprinkle family remember, I didn't say I wanted to drink!" ā
The shopkeeper nodded: "This wine is invited by other guests to drink, and it is the best cellared old wine in this store." Casual guests may not be able to drink it if they want to. ā
Wu Song: "You don't have a signboard on the door, so you are undoubtedly a foot shop." There is no liquor in the foot shop, how dare you sell this old cellar koji wine indiscriminately? ā
He asked this because he suspected that he had strayed into some black store.
The foot shop illegally sells old liquor that only the main store is qualified to sell, which is a lawless move. Of course, Wu Song himself is also a lawless bandit. But he didn't want to be casually intoxicated by people outside. It is necessary to figure out that this shop is opened by the good guy on the underworld.
Or maybe it's not the good guy. In addition to the underworld heroes who like to open some black shops, some local tyrants with government backgrounds who have people on top of them actually dare to openly sell some illegal alcohol.
But Wu Song felt that it was not very possible for local tyrants to open stores. There are people above, local tyrants with strong backgrounds, why bother to open a foot shop? Wouldn't it be better to get the right to drink directly and open a store?
So most of the shops here are black.
There are many black shops opened by the same way as the Water Margin in the surrounding areas of Liangshan. This one in front of me is not. Liang Shanzhong never intended to develop business in the direction of this Ying Tianfu.
So this should be the heroes of other mountains who are making money and killing here?
Wu Song would never drink this wine. Liangshan is the largest mountain on the boundary of Shandong, and as a member of the committee, it would be a shame to be turned over by an unknown thief on another small hill.
"How can other guests invite the house to eat and drink for no reason? You don't tell a lie at all. Save it. As the saying goes, all the worlds are brothers. The Sprinkle family is not here to kick your yard today. Sprinkle the family is to eat a meat. Eat and leave, in no way hinder your business. Make this clear to your treasurer. ā
The shopkeeper was very embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Don't think too much about the guest officer." It's really not an added wine. Sure enough, it was the first two immortal Taoist priests in the Accord upstairs to invite guests. This wine account has already been bought. ā
"Oh? And this statement? Wu Song's attitude changed from rejection to curiosity.
Because I am a big flower planter, I am a heroic person who loves to walk the rivers and lakes, and I love to make friends outside all my life. But this friendship is a bit exquisite. For example, when Wu Song was eating alone on the rivers and lakes, if he saw the strong man at the table next door, he wanted to talk. You should go up and make an inquiry. Say a few words to the other party about the popular incisions in the rivers and lakes. Then it's good to move the table and drink together.
I don't want to casually ask the store to serve a bowl of old wine that doesn't cost money and give it to someone I don't know.
This kind of behavior is very abrupt and rude. It's also very impersonal. Imagine that the rivers and lakes are sinister, sweat medicine is rampant everywhere, who dares to drink wine from unknown sources.
Only the legendary ignorant Xiyi characters, who are innocent and have no shoes, and have no mechanism in their belly, will invite strangers to drink so stubbornly.
Wu Song's knowledge structure is also very unique.
He hadn't read the Water Margin, and he hadn't even heard of the title. But he knew about the gathering of the 36, and even knew some erroneous common sense about Marco Polo. (Marco Polo was a guy from the time of Kublai Khan, but a scumbag in the committee misreported that it was a matter of the Tang Dynasty). I just haven't heard of any one hundred and eight generals.
It's just that there are as many as ten traversers in the committee, and they are all keen to pretend to be serious. All of them have a serious mind, and no one is embarrassed to mention the Water Margin to Wu Erlang. From the perspective of the traversal public, a person who travels through the Northern Song Dynasty takes the Water Margin as the outline of action in everything. That's a shameful thing. It's like traveling through the Three Kingdoms, and Pei Songzhi's commentary on the Three Kingdoms is invisibly very professional and profound. Those who play romance at every turn will definitely be looked down upon. How earthy a turtle must this be, to take the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a guide to the daily life of the Three Kingdoms.
So the ten members of the committee never mentioned the Water Margin. Especially in front of Wu Song, an NPC, the time-traveling criminals are even more cautious, they like to study the history of the Song Dynasty at every turn, and they will never be embarrassed by unreliable interpretations.
The incident of the knighthood of the 36-member group in Songjiang is a reliable history. This part of the content is moderately spoiled, and such spoilers are aimed at providing a better life orientation for the twenty-four buddies of the thirty-six non-crossing nationality. Let everyone avoid detours and improve the work efficiency of Liangshan Group.
Regarding one hundred and eight or something, Wu Song said that he had never heard of it.
So Wu Song was very strange at this time, he was able to surpass the level of understanding that a bandit of the Song Dynasty should have, and from the daily details of what was currently happening, he guessed that the two immortal Taoist priests in the Accord were probably foreigners from Xiyi.
Because the committee believes that this part of daily life is harmless, the 24th committee members have staged similar episodes more than once when they gather to play cards and drink in the cottage hall: Hey! Give a jar of Laotan Fen wine in Xinghua Village to table No. 7, which will be counted in my account!
At first, the natives were also surprised that it would be a bit unkind to invite others to drink like this, but the people who traveled through the crowd said: this is the custom of Xiyi. Although Xiyi is stupid and backward, some customs can still be learned. Order at table 6 and ask the waiter to deliver it to table 7. Let's just say that the uncle of No. 6 entertained the little brother of No. 7.
Traversal said that it was more efficient to do things this way. In fact, the excellent traditions of the big flower family are not necessarily good, and every time the party has to go to the seventh table to persuade Yizhangqing to drink in person, this etiquette is too cumbersome, and there is no need to be good.
Over time, the people who crossed the ten gave such a template to the twenty-four natives.
As a result, what happened in Xie's foot shop today should have aroused the suspicion and resistance of an indigenous bandit. Wu Song did not have any resistance, but was full of interest. The reason for this comes from the daily science popularization of the ten people.
Wu Song wanted to invite me to drink, could it be a foreign Taoist priest from Xiyi?
It's worth making friends.
In those years, the Northwest Silk Road was cut off by the Tangut people. Yangguan Avenue in Longxi was completely under the control of the party members. Liangzhou is now an important town in Western Xia.
The Stone Xining Trail fell into the hands of Tsongkhapa Zampo. Xining, a group of Qiang and Tibetan natives, is between raw and mature Qiang. In the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, sometimes he was attached to the Great Song Dynasty, and sometimes he rebelled against the Song Dynasty. So this stone path is also impassable.
The Great Song Dynasty's trade in porcelain, silk, copper, iron, spices and precious stones overseas now relied on the Maritime Silk Road.
It just so happened that the program set by the committee was also to develop along the coast and build a strong and rich industrial empire of sea power overseas.
So...... Actively befriending every Xiyi Taoist who knows navigation technology is the consciousness that every key member of the committee must have.
In these years, those who can cross the ocean, crisscross thousands of miles, and rely on the power of the wind and tides to come to our Celestial Empire to do trade, are all great sailors. This is something you can't miss when you pass by.
However, it is a bit rash to assume that the other party is a navigator from Xiyi who came to China just because the starting style of inviting guests to drink is slightly different.
So, it's worth exploring with curiosity. It is necessary to ask who exactly this is and why you are inviting the Sprinkler to drink.
So Wu Song cut off the words of the shopkeeper and said categorically: "Before I see anyone, I don't want to drink this wine." Shopkeeper, you go and invite this guest to come out and meet with me. ā
"Okay!" The shopkeeper put the towel on his shoulder and happily ran upstairs.
It looks like it's really from Xiyi! Wu Song thought to himself, the Sprinkle family went south and north, and he had never seen the shopkeeper so diligent in his life. That is, Xiyi people are particularly popular to send a "tip" to the little second brother. That's why the shopkeeper is so active.
"You two eat first." Wu Song said to the two little Lori: "I have wronged the two of them in the past two days, and it is the rudeness of the Sprinkle family. I will send the two of you back today, and invite you to have a meal here, even if the Sprinkle family pays for this gift. ā
This large plate of beef, can you really afford this gift? Ah, you have beaten Her Royal Highness the princess with straw mats and rolled up the bed. It's so rude, so sinful, it's not enough to cut off your family's heads. Although the two little Loli were slandered, no one dared to say it. Pretending to be very happy, he happily with the cooked beef.
The two of them were really hungry.
In a moment, two eagle-nosed Western Taoist priests walked down the stairs.
Sure enough, it was from Xiyi. But they were all dressed in the costumes of the Taoist priests of Shenxiao Palace.
One of the young foreign priests smiled and said to his accomplice, "Sam! I won this game! I'll just say that this Oriental martial artist will never drink your wine. ā
The foreign priest known as Sam looked depressed and snorted.
Pull out a green piece of paper and hand it to your companion. The young foreign companion took the little green piece of paper into his arms. It seems that green paper is a more precious thing, so you should carry it in your arms. But it is not particularly rare, so the young foreigner did not treasure it very carefully, but just casually took it into account.
Wu Song's eyesight was good, and he saw the portrait of the daughter-in-law in the countryside on this green paper, as well as the number 1 and the Roman numeral I.
This is the legendary Ichimei knife. The object of the 10-member committee that is often talked about.
Wu Song knew very well that he had met another representative member of the Crossing Committee from the West.
This green beautiful knife is similar to the Jiaozi Huizi of the Great Song Dynasty. But there is one thing that is not right, this green knife should be a banknote that can only be available after more than 600 or 700 years.
It's almost like crossing the identity imprint that comes with the crowd.
Of course, perhaps these two foreign Taoists were indigenous. It is also possible that they coincidentally killed a key member of the Western Cross Committee, picking up one or more American knives from his corpse.
This needs to be confirmed in person.
Wu Song sat there and didn't get up. hugged his fists casually, and said in a greeting: "Are you the two of you who brought wine to the table at the Sprinkle family?" ā
The old man named Sam didn't speak, and the young man behind him hurriedly replied, "Mr. Wu! Yes, we're interested in getting acquainted with you. I can't respect you, I will first toast you with three bowls of Chinese wine. This is Sam Washington and I'm Tom Jefferson. ā
Foreigners speak very slippery Chinese.
Wu Song didn't think it was strange. In these years, those who dare to come to China to be maritime merchants must at least accumulate more than ten or twenty years of experience and qualifications before they dare to cross the ocean and come to the big flower planters. After doing the homework that has been deliberated for more than ten or twenty years, it is natural to speak Chinese official dialect. Even these foreigners can marry an Indian daughter-in-law or an Annan daughter-in-law. Naturally, the people of Annam also speak Chinese.
Wu Song is strange, how do these Sam and Tom know that my surname is Wu? I haven't even introduced myself.
But he didn't ask it right away.
"Then let's sit down and talk."
Wu Song stood up and pointed to the two benches opposite him.
My big flower should be a state of etiquette, and I can't casually lose my manners in front of the Xiyi barbarians.
