Chapter 38 Pushui South City
The early morning sun had just crossed the threshold of the service room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The thin-eyed and sharp-cheeked Miao steward stood in the service room, his eyes sweeping over a dozen three-person-high bookshelves. The bamboo slips rolled up on the bookshelf record the daily expenses and personnel management of the Piercing Golden Gate, which is also the main work under his jurisdiction.
Steward Miao crossed his waist and was about to shout at a dozen or so subordinates, when two teenagers walked in at the door, and the slightly shorter teenagers looked familiar.
"Zhan boy, you won't be here to get the door number again, will you?" Miao asked with a squinted eye.
"Hehe, Miao Steward, didn't I go out to find some inspiration for cultivation?" Zhan Zhi stepped forward and smiled.
"Looking for inspiration for cultivation again? You haven't practiced since I did, have you? Steward Miao waved his sleeves and wanted to send Zhan Zhi away, and said angrily, "Why don't you cultivate in the courtyard of the outer disciples, what are you doing running outside twice in three days?" When the time for the test is up, hurry home and farm, don't eat and drink here every day. ”
Chang Yu found that Steward Miao was wearing a brocade robe and a green robe that pierced the Golden Gate, it seemed that this Steward Miao was also a disciple of the Thornwood level in cultivation, but now he was the steward of this logistics.
"Steward Miao, don't you see that the disciples in the door can enter and exit at will, why are the disciples of the outer sect so unwelcome?" Stretch your feet and hold the uneven road.
"That's not for your good!" Steward Miao stretched out his feet with a pair of fine eyes, and said, "Others know that they are outer disciples, and they work hard every day, how can there be someone like you who runs to me every three or five times." If you can condense your internal qi like this little brother next to you, I won't bother to bother with you! He pointed at Chang Yu as he spoke.
Chang Yu hurriedly bowed, this Miao steward could see at a glance that he had condensed his internal qi, and his cultivation level was definitely much higher than his own.
Zhan Zhi stuck to the Miao steward again, and said, "Miao steward, you are right!" My eldest brother Chang is going to find a place outside and tell me about this method of condensing qi! Why don't you let us out! After speaking, he chattered around the Miao steward non-stop.
Chang Yu smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Alright, alright!" Steward Miao threw out two wooden cards from his sleeve and said impatiently, "Get out of me quickly, I still have a lot of things to do!" Next time, I will report to Deputy Sect Master Zhao and cancel the qualifications of the outer disciples to go out during the cultivation period. ”
Zhan Wei took the wooden card, with a satisfied expression on his face, and dragged Chang Yu out of the door.
……
The Golden Gate is located in the northeast corner of Puyang City, occupying several miles of the local circle, and is the only building complex that can match the size of Zhaoge Palace City. Located in the southwest corner of the Thorn Golden Gate, which responds to the Golden Gate, is the battalion school of the defenders in the city. The castle guard battalion is mainly responsible for the defense of the city and the security of the city, and the Miyagi guard is two separate armies.
"East Gate West School, North and South City" is the best description of the pattern of Puyang City.
The East Gate and the West Colonel naturally refer to the Thorn Golden Gate in the northeast and the military camp school in the southwest.
Since most of the residents in the city live in the north, it is said that "north residence", and the south of Puyang City is the most prosperous place in the city. The moat outside the city was carved out of a branch, and the water was diverted from the ground to the south of the city, running through to form an artificial river, which was also called "Xiaopu Water" by the Xiaowei people.
The prosperity on both sides of Pushui is abnormal, full of merchants, wine shops, red mansions, and merchants, as well as various shops that hide pearls and treasures.
The whole Pushui area, the traffic is busy during the day, and the life of singing and dancing at night is the so-called "Pushui Hookah and Willow Shengtian Pavilion, and the pearls and jades are full of stars".
This Pushui divides the southern city into two different business districts in the north and south, and is connected by a stone bridge that can pass ten carriages, and the stone bridge is also known as the Lishui Bridge.
To the north of Lishui Bridge, there is an endless stream of restaurants and shops.
Near the bridge, a food stall was crowded with people.
A red-faced fat man held a big spoon in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and fished out a large spoonful of golden bait in a cauldron. Gold erbium block, originated from Nanshu, crispy and delicious, a three coins! ”
The crowd scrambled to take out the copper coins and threw them into the box.
On another food stall next to it, a green flag was hung with the word "corn cake" written on it, and it was also shouting, which immediately attracted the diners who had not bought the bait.
Those restaurants were even more arrogant, and the people who ran the hall also shouted directly in front of the door, "Eight treasures of the Zhou room!" Chun boil, Chun Wu, cannon dolphin, cannon boil, pickled boil, pounded treasure, liver cheek, seven cooking techniques, welcome to taste! ”
The diners paused and hesitated.
"Gu Yue Hezhen! It's not delicious, don't pay for it! ”
"Yan Guo Rao Mountain Elk Venison! Nourish and strengthen the body! Great price! ”
Then there were calls from Qi Guohaizhen and Chu Palace's food list everywhere, which made the ranger merchants from all over the world feel that they were in a blessed land, but they didn't know where to start.
I don't know how many famous chefs from all over the world have gathered in these restaurants, but it is precisely because of the open population flow during the Warring States Period that cultural collision has been brought about, and this culinary gathering has also been created.
In addition, some shops selling jewels and treasures, silk cloth, pill herbs and cordyceps, and even weapons and armor, as long as they can sell them, also try to open shops in Puyang South City, trying to gain some popularity. After all, Pushui South City has the most guests, and among these guests, there are many ranger swordsmen from all over the world.
There are also some quirky shops scattered in the streets and alleys of Nanshi.
Puyang's South Market can be said to contain the world's treasures, even if there is no store in the store, the shopkeepers can also find ways to get it.
The south side of the Lishui Bridge, separated by a water, is another world of smoke and willows, I don't know how many Qionglou jade platforms, filled with a charming smell of fat powder, from time to time there is a sound of laughter and joy, like a red and pink dream that squandered money.
An umbrella-topped carriage passed over the bridge, carved with fine patterns and brocade cloth flying down from the roof, and was richly decorated. The carriage was pulled by two horses, and a dozen servants walked slowly behind it, following the carriage to a place of smoke and willows.
This is one of the many similar luxurious carriages that Chang Yu has seen so far.
Zhan Nao and Chang Yu were leaning their backs against the edge of the stone bridge, and a green cloth was gently rippling under the bridge.
Chang Yu leisurely watched the people coming and going, thinking back to what Zhan Zhi had seen all the way to Nanshi, and sighed in his heart.
I didn't expect that Puyang City in Xiaoweiguo would be so prosperous, compared with the quaint Yewang Town at that time, it was simply a difference between cloud and mud.
Although the agricultural and military strength of Xiaowei is not as good as that of several large countries, the prosperity of the capital, as said by the passengers on the road, also has seven points of Linzi of Qi and Liang of Wei, which makes Chang Yu can't help but be full of yearning for these two places.
If I have the opportunity, I really want to go to other countries, and I think the customs are also different.
After all, such a real and prosperous ancient city, and only when you are in it, can you experience that kind of living reality, this feeling, no matter how the ancient city ruins are restored in later generations, can not be described, at least the ancients will not sell you food, and occasionally look down at the WeChat on the mobile phone.
Chang Yu leaned his head on the stone eaves, his eyes narrowed slightly, enjoying the comfortable sun, looking at the blue sky.
"Brother Chang, when do you think we can live a rich life?" Zhan Zhi took the half-bitten bait in his mouth, stretched his waist, and muttered.
