Chapter 4 The first encounter with the open sea

Although Longzhou is located in the western frontier of the Great Sui, it is a transportation hub and a prosperous market. There are Han merchants and traders selling along the streets, Turkic and Qiang caravans who lead camels and horses to the Central Plains to do business, Hu merchants from the Western Regions who bargain with vendors, and Persian beauties who are blonde and white-skinned in teahouses and restaurants。。。。。。

"Good! Awesome, it's amazing. Not far away, there was a burst of cheers from the front.

"Ang Lee, why is it so lively in front, let's go and see!"

"It's Childe." Li An was an orphan adopted by Li Yuan since he was a child, and was later sent to Li Jiancheng's side as a scholar, studying and practicing martial arts together, and was Li Jiancheng's cronies.

Finally squeezed into the crowd, and in the center, a two-meter-tall, bearded-man wielded a pair of purple and gold double hammers, which looked to weigh about 100 catties. I saw that the double hammer was in the hands of the big man with a big beard, sometimes rolling like a dragon, sometimes sweeping the remnant clouds like the wind, and from time to time throwing a hammer into the air and catching it with his hand, which attracted the onlookers to applaud again and again. After about half an hour, the big man put down the hammer and clenched his fists with both hands: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am living here and penniless, and I hope you can donate generously to help you get through the difficulties, thank you." After speaking, he picked up a broken gong, hoping to get a few, but there were many onlookers, but there were not many people who could give money, and after walking around, except for a few copper coins, most of them turned their heads and left. Dahan's face was filled with disappointment and frustration. At this time, Li Jiancheng took out a piece of gold and put it in the gong.

"This son, this thing is too valuable, and I hope to take it back."

"Why should a strong man be like this, looking down at a strong man with such a high skill, what is a mere piece of gold?"

"Childe is atmospheric, it's better to do the east from below today, invite Childe to drink a glass of water and wine, I don't know if Childe is willing to appreciate his face."

"The strong man is gracious, but he is disrespectful. Strong man please. ”

Li Jiancheng followed the strong man to a tavern, "Little Er, come with a chicken, three catties of beef, two pig's trotters, a few side dishes, and ten catties of wine." ”

"Okay! Wait for the guest officer! Drinks and food will arrive soon! "Xiao Er should arrive.

After a while, the wine and food were served, and Li Jiancheng poured him a bowl first, and then poured a bowl for himself: "Strong man, for you and I meet today, do it first as a respect!" When the wine entered his throat, a spicy pun pierced his throat and nose, choking Li Jiancheng and coughing. And there's a little bit of dust. This is because the current brewing is mainly cellaring, and there is no distillation process, so there are many impurities. As a direct consequence, baijiu is not as mellow as it was in that lifetime, and if the baijiu making process is improved, it may be a good business. But this thought only flashed in Li Jiancheng's heart, and he didn't think about it again. The big man smiled when he saw it; I drank a bowl of wine, but it was not enough, and I filled another bowl. Li Jiancheng was very curious, so he began to ask about the life experience of the big man with a beard:

"I don't know why the strong man has a great name, why he ended up here."

"In Xiaxiong Kuohai, the people of Luoyang, who made a living by striking iron, rented a few houses as storefronts. Although he is not rich, he is not short of food and clothing. Who knew that one day the local wealthy Cui clan said to me to increase the rent, I reasoned with it, but they said that I resisted the rent and did not pay, and took back my blacksmith shop, no, I heard that the war in the northwest continued, so I had to come here to join the army, hoping that one day I could earn some military merits and glorify my family. Who knew that I was not a local household registration, and the government did not let me enter the camp, so I had to work on the street to make a living. ”

Hearing these words, Li Jiancheng sympathized in his heart: "I am also the first time I have arrived in your place, and there is a lack of guards at home. Worry-free food and clothing. ”

"The eldest husband should take his own fame and wealth, glorify his ancestors, how can he condescend to others, accept the food that comes from him, insult the ancestors, the love of the son, I already know, Kuohai is a rough person, I haven't read any books, I don't know how to count etiquette, I hope the son will forgive me. Leave! With that, he grabbed the hammer and strode away.

"Don't pay attention to him, this kind of rural village man doesn't know how to lift, so there is no need to worry about him." Li An was a little unhappy when he saw the arrogant appearance of Xiong Kuohai, and patted Li Jiancheng's ass by the way.

"No, Ang Li, this person doesn't ask for food, he is a hero, if he can be used by me, it is better than a thousand taels of gold." Li An wanted to buy it in front of Li Jiancheng, but he touched a soft nail and muttered:

"A rough man is worth a thousand taels of gold, obediently, the son won't be crazy, right?" The two of them left the tavern and returned to the Assassin's Mansion.
