Chapter 57: Cai Yingyang (I)
The delicacies in the building outside the building are naturally not something that ordinary people in Hangzhou can eat, but Hangzhou, which has the reputation of a paradise on earth, naturally has a lot of cheap delicacies, and this Erchuan is one of them.

Pian Er Chuan is a kind of noodle soup, made of poured tuk vegetables and bamboo shoot slices and noodles cooked, the bamboo shoots are already fresh, coupled with the fresh and salty taste produced by the inverted tuk vegetables after many days of pickling, this bowl of Pian Erchuan is even more fragrant and delicious, it is the favorite noodle of the people of Hangzhou. And the price of this piece of Erchuan is very fair, you can buy a bowl for three or five cents, if you add some money, you can add more slices of meat, so that the piece of Erchuan not only tastes more delicious, but also looks more worthy of the name.
Although the faΓ§ade of the small noodle shop that Yang Zhen walked into is not large, there are many customers. The tables in the restaurant were already full of people, and there were also a few wooden tables outside, and a few customers were sitting there eating noodles. This became a living signboard, and Yang Zhen felt even more hungry when he saw it, so he also found an empty seat and sat down.
Soon after asking for a large bowl of noodles with sliced meat, Xiao Er came over with a large bowl full of aroma. Yang Zhen took a piece of bamboo shoots and bit it gently, only to feel a clicking sound, and the inconspicuous bamboo shoot slices cracked, rippling out a fresh taste on the tip of the tongue. This noodle soup is not only fresh with bamboo shoots, but also full of flavor, and the flexible noodles are full of flavor in the soup, and the chewing is full of flavor.
Although this noodle is less than ten yuan, the taste is better than the delicacies that Yang Zhen ate in the outer building, which made him a little reluctant to eat up this delicacy.
Just as Yang Zhen was slowly savoring this bowl of Pianerchuan, there was a shocking scene on the street - it was two pedestrians, followed by a businessman who looked a little shrewd, which was not very eye-catching, but the big man in coarse cloth in front of him was really surprising, he was quite tall, nearly eight feet, and on his shoulders he was carrying two hemp bags that were the height of ordinary people.
Looking at the appearance of the sack on the shoulders of the tall man, you can see that the weight is not light, and judging from the soaring sound made when he lands with each step, the contents of the sack are only afraid of hundreds of catties. But even so, it did not slow down the pace of the big man's progress, and he was even faster than ordinary people. But this was not enough to provoke Yang Zhen's attention, and what distracted him from looking at them was an accident that happened just now.
There are already a lot of people near this City God Temple, and today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is the time to catch the temple fair, so the whole street is crowded. In addition to people, there are also some animals pulling carts on the road, which makes the already not so wide street even more crowded.
I don't know which naughty child or immoral adult actually threw a cannon in this pile. This sudden sound naturally surprised everyone. But the man quickly calmed down, but a black donkey, who had been pulling the cart, was frightened, and ran forward with a roar. The owner of the donkey was caught off guard for a moment, and did not hold the reins, so he could only watch the frightened black donkey rush into the crowd.
The pedestrians on the opposite side saw the donkey rushing towards him, and they were also frightened and dodged, not wanting the adults to dodge away, but a little girl wearing a flower jacket was left in the local area, which was the direction in which the donkey was rushing.
Yang Zhen caught a glimpse of this scene, and he knew that it was not good, and he was about to rush to save it, but he found that he was surrounded by people, and it was too late to squeeze through this pile of people. Just as he sighed to himself, thinking that the little girl would be seriously injured if she didn't die this time, he heard a commotion, then a muffled snort, and a few calls from the donkey, and the people around him were stunned, and only after a while did anyone cheer.
Just as the donkey was about to hit the girl, he saw the rather tall man throw the sack on his right shoulder to the ground, and then jumped in front of the girl with an arrow, first leaning on his shoulders, and actually withstood the momentum of the frightened donkey, and then quickly grabbed the reins of the donkey, and completely controlled it.
This time it is extremely rare to grasp it first and then grasp it, both in strength and speed, even if those people can't see how deep the doorway is, they also know that this is not simple. What's more, the big man was still carrying a sack on his left shoulder at this time, and he actually relied on the strength of one shoulder to block the momentum of a crazy donkey and save a child.
"Good! A strong man is really a good skill! ββ¦β¦ The people cheered one after another. But the big man just smiled innocently, without the slightest smugness, but when he turned his head and saw the sack that he had thrown aside, his face was terrified.
Sure enough, the businessman who was thrown off by him just now came behind him with a black face, stretched out his palm and slapped it heavily on the back of the big man's head, scolding while patting: "You loser, you actually lost my goods, it's a glass vessel that can't stand the fall." Beating and scolding, he still didn't understand his hatred, and he even kicked the big man with his foot.
The big man, who was still majestic just now, and could lower a running donkey with all his might, had already lowered his head at this time, and he didn't dare to make a sound like a child who had made a mistake, so he just let the businessman keep kicking and beating.
The people next to him naturally couldn't bear to be bullied like this by the hero who saved people, so someone stepped forward to persuade him: "This big brother, he is also trying to save people, so he broke something by mistake, and I hope you ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the businessman raised his two rat-tail whiskers and said sharply: "What does a girl I don't know have anything to do with me?" Why do you want to break my bag of glassware? Do you know how much the glass is worth? β
The upright man couldn't see it, so he replied on the side: "Even if it's worth a lot, it's not as good as human life." If you are reluctant, our people here will make up the money to give you! β
"That's it, this hero saved people, we can't make him lose money......"
"Tell me, how much does that pack of glassware cost?" β¦β¦ Everyone was upset about the big man, but the big man shook his head anxiously at this time, but he couldn't speak. The neatness and courage when he saved people just now was not visible at all.
The businessman snorted: "You people who don't know anything, you dare to say compensation if you don't even know what Liuli is." Listen to me, there are two hundred and twenty glass bottles in this bag, each worth three taels of silver, and you say how much silver it will cost to pay for it. β
"Ah......h More than 600 taels of silver is an astronomical amount for the people here, and even if there are more people, they can't afford to pay for it.
"Ha, didn't you just want to pay compensation, why are you dumb now?" The businessman sneered and kicked the big man again: "You are a dead star, now it is not enough for me to sell you a glass bottle, you will be a cow and a horse in my Liu Ji glaze shop for the rest of your life." If you can't finish it, let your son, your grandson, go on for generations. β
Just when everyone was helplessly watching the hero who saved people unable to do anything, Yang Zhen walked over slowly, looked at the surnamed Liu and said, "Wait, I'll pay him this money." When he saw that the man was so humiliated, he could not bear it, so he decided to help him.
"Oh? There are still such kind-hearted people in the world, I am really eye-opening. The merchant looked full of disbelief, and stretched out his hand and said, "Then you will give me the silver." β
"Brother, how can you work under such a mean master?" Yang Zhen ignored it, just looked at the big man and asked.
"This ......" The big man touched the back of his head and said with difficulty: "I just came to Hangzhou to play a few days ago, but I was separated from my companions. Because I went to Liu's shopkeeper's shop to look at something, I accidentally broke one of his utensils, and I couldn't afford to pay for it, so I ......."
He didn't finish his words, but Yang Zhen already knew what was going on, so he shook his head and said, "You were too careless." But this time your choice is good, as it should be, a few hundred taels of silver is nothing. β
"Hmph, that's a nice word, you should take the money out." Shopkeeper Liu mentioned it again.
"The money won't be missing you, but I have to believe you when you say that the bag is glassware? I'll have to check it before I can give you money, right? As he spoke, Yang Zhen walked up to the sack, lifted it with his hand, and couldn't help but glance at the big man again. This bag weighs more than 200 catties, and this man can carry 400 catties of things on the street as usual, this strength is indeed amazing, no wonder he can lower the crazy donkey with one hand.
"Man, what's your name?" Yang Zhen untied the rope on the mouth of the bag and asked casually.
"My name is Cai Yingyang. The eagle of the eagle, the fluttering of the young. "I didn't expect that the name of such a thick and honest man was not a stone, an iron pillar or anything like that, it was quite poetic. Yang Zhen also smiled when he heard this: "You were born in September, right?" β
"Huh? How do you know? β
"The eagle flies in September, it's a good time to hunt." Yang Zhen replied, he had opened the sack, but what he saw was glass bottles one by one.
It's not that Liu's shopkeeper is slanderous, the glass at this time is also called glass, because it is from the West, it is very rare, and the price is naturally expensive. But no matter how you calculate it, you don't need three taels of silver a piece.
Yang Zhen took a closer look and found that there were still many that were not broken, so he took them out one by one, and there were thirty-seven complete ones. After groaning, he took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his bosom and said to the shopkeeper Liu: "I will pay five hundred taels of silver to pay you for the bottle, but you have to let him go with me." β
As soon as these words came out, not only the people around him, but also the shopkeeper Liu couldn't believe it. Is this teenager really willing to pay such a large sum of money for strangers he has never met? But the silver ticket will never be fake, so he nodded: "Okay, then I will suffer a loss, and I won't let him pay for what he broke before." β
"That's the best." Yang Zhen smiled and handed the silver ticket into the hands of Shopkeeper Liu, and then greeted: "Cai Yingyang, give him the things on your shoulder, let's go!" β
