It is said that Qu Ling and the others, in this huge Linzi City, walked around, but they couldn't find the person sent by Yangchengjun to pick them up.
There was already hunger and thirst in his stomach, and Qu Ling naturally didn't dare to speak casually because he was almost forced to sell by the owner of the cloth shop.
Chen Zhuang and his wife spoke with a Bashu accent, although there were many outsiders in Linzi, most of them were business people, Chen Zhuang and his wife did not look like businessmen, so they did not take the initiative to speak.
Because the travel expenses for this trip were all on Meng Shuo's body, Meng said that when he saw everyone, he couldn't find it after looking for a long time, so he naturally felt hungry and thirsty.
"Let's find a place to eat first!" Meng asked.
Everyone nodded yes.
The group came to a noodle stall on the corner and sat down, and Meng shouted:
"The store has four bowls of noodles."
"A bowl of noodles, enough for you?" Qu Ling asked Meng.
When Meng said this, he scratched his head embarrassedly and replied:
"Almost, right?"
"Humph! Forget it, a bowl of noodles isn't enough for you to stuff your teeth! Shop, let's have twenty bowls of noodles. Qu Ling said, pointing with his finger, and the big bowl next to him said:
"With this kind of bowl, you can't use a small bowl."
This large clay bowl has a diameter of thirty or forty centimeters, and this bowl of noodles costs more than a catty. The small noodle stall didn't know if it could sell so many noodles a day, and when the store saw that the big customers came, they were naturally very happy and quickly called their wives. Kids, come and meet. Knead. Roll out the dough and boil the water. Wash the dishes.
There are still many people with great strength, and in a few moments, these twenty bowls of steaming noodles were placed in front of everyone. The big guy has long been hungry, so he can't care about so many clichΓ©s and etiquette, and one person picks up a bowl and swallows it.
Chen Zhuang and his wife don't like pasta very much because they have been eating rice for a long time, and the two of them are the nobles of Bashu, and they are naturally much more elegant when they eat.
Meng said. Qu Ling is not so particular, one person serves a bowl, and pulls it into his mouth indiscriminately, especially Meng said, the person is tall and big, the amount of food is amazing, and the others have not eaten half a bowl, and in front of him, there are already three or five empty bowls.
The shopkeeper thought that these people were taking the noodles away. The business in Linzi City is prosperous, the material turnover is timely, and the business travelers from the south to the north inevitably have to hire laborers to carry goods for them. In addition to wages, rice is naturally to be managed, and small noodle stalls, because of the high quality and low price, naturally there are often merchants who come to order pasta for the porter laborers.
Today, I thought that it was the same, but I never thought that it was these four people who asked for twenty bowls of noodles. Especially this tall and mighty man, who ate five or six bowls in a row, had no intention of stopping.
The shock at that time is indescribable. Everyone just stopped what they were doing and stood there watching Meng Shuo eat noodles.
Chen Zhuang and his wife barely ate a bowl, and Qu Ling ate a bowl. After everyone finished eating, they wiped the corners of their mouths, only to see that Meng Shuo was still there gobbling up, and he had already eaten more than a dozen bowls, and he still had no intention of stopping.
Chen Zhuang and his wife were stunned, not only the two of them were stunned, but the other diners in the noodle restaurant, even the shopkeeper, also put down their work and watched this side.
Chinese people have a long-standing habit of making fun, and when I heard someone say a joke, I don't know if it's true or not. It is said that during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, after the British defeated the Qing Dynasty, a football match was held, and after the game began, it was quickly surrounded by Chinese watching the excitement, and the British arrogantly said to the accompanying Chinese officials, 'Look at our football, how attractive, how much you Chinese like it'.
Guess what the accompanying Chinese official said, he said, 'My lord, you don't know us Chinese, if you talk about playing football, you are urinating on the street, and there will be many people watching the excitement'.
Looking at the lively people, the more and more people gathered, a carriage, passing by this side, only to see a person sitting in the car, with a handsome face, a dignified appearance, surrounded by Chu Guoyun brocade, wearing a crown, and a phoenix-patterned bronze sword unique to Chu State across his waist.
The culture of the Central Plains is respected by the dragon, but the state of Chu is respected by the phoenix. On his feet, a pair of high riding boots made of rhinoceros leather, adorned with moire patterns. Inlaid with gold and jade, exquisite and extraordinary.
From the carriage, inadvertently, seeing that there were many people around here, he was also curious, and quickly ordered the coachman to stop, get out of the car, and come to watch, followed by the accompanying guards.
When I got closer, I found that there were just people eating noodles, and there was no special place, and I was about to leave, but I found that there were more than a dozen empty bowls around the strong man, not only gasped, but also silently thought in my heart, 'This is a man, is it a beast?' How can you eat it like this? When I thought of this, I blurted out my mouth,
'Truly a strong man'.
Meng said that he only cared about eating noodles, and when he heard people say this, he raised his head and looked, good guy, there are so many people around? I was also muttering in my heart, 'I think this is all here to eat noodles?' β
It was the son of the Chu State who took the lead in reporting his family, and was in Xiong Rui, a person from the Chu State.
There were people watching the excitement next to him, and he hurriedly said;
"Yang Chengjun of Chu State, why didn't you stay in Chu State, why did you come to Qi State."
Yang Chengjun hugged his fists and saluted the visitor, Meng said that when he heard that it was Yang Chengjun, he just wanted to recognize him, but he didn't want to Qu Ling and grabbed him and didn't let him get up. Meng said that when he saw the young lady, he glared at him, thinking that something must be wrong, so he naturally continued to eat noodles.
Chen Zhuang and his wife are veterans of officialdom for a long time, and the city government is very deep, even if it is really Yangchengjun who comes, there are some rules for recognizing each other, and it is impossible to get acquainted so simply.
Seeing that everyone didn't react, they also saw Fang Cai Qu Ling's pull, so they naturally smiled and said:
"Strong! Good amount of food, I don't know how many bowls a strong man can eat when he lets go of his belly? βγ
Meng said that although he was tall and burly, after many years of training in the Mo family, he naturally had some background in his heart, and he took the initiative to talk to him when he saw someone coming. also replied out of courtesy, saying:
"How many exactly, I have never counted."
The person who came walked a few steps, came to the opposite side of the table, lifted the feet of his robe, sat down, and listened to Meng Shuo, who said this, with a happy face:
"What a strong man, bold! How about I invite you to dinner today, so that you will be satisfied? As he spoke, he took out a piece of gold from his bosom, put it on the table, and shouted casually
"The shop is not in a hurry to cook the noodles."
"Childe! The incorruptible are not fed by the spurt. Childe still don't break the bank." Meng said quickly.
"How can it be, I see that you are strong, you must have the strength to do it. If there is something to ask for below, how can it be food that comes to you. These meals shall be the reward of a strong man." The person who came hurriedly said.
"I don't know what Childe said?" Qu Ling opened his mouth and asked, because Meng said that he was dressed as a groom, so naturally there were some things that still needed his master to come forward.
"Childe is polite." As he spoke, he bent down and saluted Qu Ling. After saluting, he said:
"I came from the Chu country and brought a treasure, but because it was too large, I couldn't take it out of the ship for a while. When I came from Chu that day, I relied on a huge winch to carry this thing onto the ship, all the way to the waterway, and there was no big problem, but after approaching this Linzi, due to the lack of winch, manpower could not be dragged for a while, so it was naturally impossible to transport it to the shore. I went into the city today to find some people to help, but I never thought of meeting this strong man here, I think Gongzi will definitely be in a hurry, and he will not stand idly by. β
"Oh! I see, in that case, let's go together after he has finished eating." Qu Ling glanced at Meng Shuo, and Meng Shuo nodded.
"In that case! Thank you so much Childe." Visitors are greeted non-stop.
Not long after, the store sent ten bowls of noodles, only to see this Meng said, like a hungry tiger pounced on food, bowl after bowl, like a whirlwind, after a while, these noodles, all poured into the stomach, after eating the last bowl, wiped his mouth with his hand, and burped. The people around me were so shocked that their teeth fell out. That's nearly 30 bowls of noodles! It was actually eaten by himself in a while.
The group went out of the city with the carriage of the prince of Chu and came to the river, because it was close to night, there were few pedestrians, and it was very desolate, only a few boat-shaking captains gathered around to gamble and have fun. The grass is green, the river surface in autumn is somewhat bleak and cold, and the slanting sun is sprinkled in the water, a little golden, dyeing a river water golden.
When he came to the river, Meng said that he didn't see any passenger boats, let alone any goods, the carriage in front stopped, the prince of Chu Guo jumped out of the carriage, a whistle, and quickly jumped out of the reeds, a group of masked warriors, only to see these people, a Wu hook in their hands, the cold light flashed, and a hula sounded Qu Ling's carriage in the middle.
Meng said that he jumped out of the carriage, took out the weapon from the car, and set up a position, Chen Zhuang and his wife were already frightened when they saw this posture, and they couldn't move, Qu Ling patted Mrs. Chen Zhuang's hand with his hand, and said:
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, you guys are waiting here". Saying that, he picked up the curtain on the car, got out of the car, stood at the door and took a look, jumped to the other side of Meng Shuo, and held a bronze sword in his hand, which was very awkward, but it was a pity that his Wu Hook was taken away by Yingji when he killed Yingji. Although it is not as easy to use as Wu Hook, it is much better than engaging the enemy with bare hands.
"Who are you?" Qu Ling asked loudly.
"Who? Whoever wants your life, say! What is the purpose of your operation? βγ The man who called himself Yang Chengjun asked in a loud voice.
In fact, Qu Ling had already taken precautions, and before leaving, the giant summoned him into the secret room alone, gave Qu Ling half of the jade, and told Qu Ling at the same time that this half of the jade was the code of the joint, no matter who it was, without the other half of the jade, he could not connect with them.
Fang Cai, the person who called himself Yangcheng Jun, did not take out half a piece of jade, and Qu Ling's mother, especially Fu Bo, spoke the authentic Chu dialect, and when he heard him speak, there were some Qin dialects, mixed in, if it was not carefully compared, it would be difficult to find the authenticity.
The reason why Qu Ling ventured to come here was to track down the situation of the ghosts in the Mo family through these people, he had just arrived in Linzi, if there was no news from the ghosts, how could he be discovered so quickly.
Many killers surrounded the carriage and the group, Qu Ling and Meng Shuo looked after each other, and they were in the middle of a confrontation.
"Say! Say it! I can spare you a death", the man who claimed to be the Yang City Monarch of Chu Guoyang said in a loud voice.
"Phew! Fart, come over if you have the ability, your aunt and grandmother told you," said Zong, stepped forward, stabbed the nearest samurai with a sword, screamed, and fell to the ground.
The fake Yang Chengjun saw that these people were not going to say anything, and with a wave of his hand, many killers pounced together.
Predict how the situation will be, and listen carefully to the next breakdown.
