Chapter 143: The Blue and Red Slate
"Gui An is dead, and the next one is Tanaka. To show my sincerity, I will come back to you after Tanaka's death! You think about it first, how? ”
"After Tanaka dies, I promise to go out of the mountain, but you have to talk and count, Shi Jingzhi and Liang Dequan must not let them go!" Feng Qiu finally spoke.
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
……
On this day, a merchant from the south, named Zhu Caifu, said that he had come to Luzhou City to do silk business. has nothing to do, Zhu Caifu often comes to Zhang Zhao's tea house to drink tea and sit idly, and the two are also familiar with each other.
Zhang Zhao found that Zhu Caifu's eyes always glanced at the blue and red stone slab, and after a long time, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but ask: "Isn't the shopkeeper Zhu also a person who loves stones?" ”
Zhu Caifu smiled slightly: "This stone looks very ordinary at first glance, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that this stone is not ordinary, where is this stone from?" ”
Zhang Zhao turned around and touched the smooth stone surface of the blue and red slate: "This is an ancestral thing, belonging to the strange stones of the Yellow River." Listen to the old people, this stone washed at the bottom of the Yellow River for thousands of years, and then Dayu controlled the water, before it surfaced. Dayu used it as a bed board back then, so this stone was stained with the aura of Dayu, warm in winter and cool in summer, known as Qingliang stone. ”
Zhu Caifu nodded silently and said no more.
A few days later, Zhu Caifu came to drink tea again, and while he was chatting, another person came in from outside the door.
Zhang Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "The guest officer is here to buy tea?" ”
The visitor didn't answer, but walked around the store a few times, and said to himself: "Yes, this tea is really a lot!" ”
When he spoke, this person's eyes were still staring directly at the blue and red slate, Zhu Caifu couldn't help but panic when he saw this, thinking to himself that this is a master? See the mystery of this blue and red slate?
Zhang Zhao hurriedly asked, "The guest officer is interested in this blue and red slate?" ”
"I don't know the shopkeeper's surname?"
"Don't be surnamed Zhang!"
The visitor made a gesture towards Zhang Zhao: "Shopkeeper Zhang, I am from Chang'an, and I am an antique dealer specializing in treasure hunting from the people!" ”
Zhang Zhao had to say a few polite words.
"This blue and red slate looks extraordinary, I don't know how much money Shopkeeper Li is willing to sell?"
Zhang Zhao smiled and shook his head: "This is an ancestral treasure, and it won't be sold for any amount of money." ”
This antique dealer pestered Zhang Zhao for a long time, Zhang Zhao just didn't let go, and Zhu Caifu put his mind at ease.
A few days later, a major incident occurred in Zhang Zhao's tea house. One night, a thief visited the tea house and stole a lot of tea from the shop.
Zhu Caifu hurried to the store and asked eagerly: "What did you lose, is the loss big?" ”
When Zhu Caifu saw that the blue and red slate was still there, his heart was relaxed.
There is a big thief in Puzhou Mansion not far from Luzhou City, named "Flying on the Grass", someone recently looked for him, let him steal the blue and red slate in Xu's shopkeeper's shop, after the matter was completed, he gave a hundred pieces of money, and "Flying on the Grass" agreed to this person's request.
In a time when the wind is high and the moon is dark, "Flying on the Grass" started, uncovering the tiles from the house, going down the beams of the house, it took the boss's strength to remove the tea leaves on the bluestone slab, tying the blue-red slate with the rope he carried, "Flying on the Grass" turned over to the house, hung the blue-red slate from the house, handed it to the person by night, collected the money and left.
The next day, the whole city of Luzhou knew that Zhang Zhao's tea house was stolen, and asked what was lost, Zhang Zhao did not answer and laughed.
It's just that since then, Zhu Caifu has disappeared, some people say he went to Chang'an, and some people say that he went back to his hometown in the south.
Zhang Zhao's shop also did not see the blue and red slate.
However, Tanaka, who joined the army in Luzhou, was angry, and the tea house was stolen one after another, which was too damaging to the simple folk customs of Luzhou City.
Tanaka came to the store to check in person, and when he saw Tian Senjun coming to the store, Zhang Zhao took out the best tea leaves, and asked the shop guys to quickly go to the waterfall behind the mountain valley, and receive a pot of mountain spring water, so as to give Tian Senjun a good pot of tea.
Tanaka is also a good tea person, and he was very happy to be able to drink such good tea in the tea house today, and couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper Zhang, why is your tea so fragrant?" ”
Zhang Zhao sat opposite Tanaka, took a sip of fragrant tea and said: "Making tea is a science, if you have the opportunity in the future, come to the tea house more, I will make good tea for Tian Senjun." ”
Tanaka saw that Zhang Zhao was very interested in tea, so he promised to come to drink tea often in the future.
The next morning, as soon as Zhang Zhao got up, the guy hurriedly ran in and said, "Shopkeeper, it's a mess outside." ”
Zhang Zhao asked what was going on? The guy gasped for a long time before he explained, it turned out that last night, the three night pearls on the whole house of Liang De were stolen by "Flying on the Grass", and Liang Dequan asked the recorder to join the army to search for it in the whole city.
After a while, I saw Tanaka and his men and horses searching for Zhang Zhao's tea house.
Zhang Zhao was already waiting outside the door.
Tanaka hesitated outside the door: "Let's not search here, I come often, and I know who the shopkeeper is." ”
Zhang Zhao said in a loud voice: "How can this work, if you don't go in in front of the tea house to search, what do the people of Luzhou think?" What do the officials think? Besides, let the Snitch know, can I still do business in peace? ”
Tanaka thought about it too, so he went in, drank tea by himself, and asked his subordinates to search casually.
In the end, the matter was over, and the people of Luzhou were rumored to have someone in the city who united with Cao Shangfei to rob the treasure of Liang Thorn History, otherwise how could Cao Shangfei know the details.
On this day, the tea house suddenly fell into a person from the outside.
Zhang Zhao looked over and turned out to be Zhu Caifu, who he hadn't seen for many days. I saw Zhu Caifu shaking his head, his face was red, and his head was sweating.
Zhang Zhao knew that Zhu Caifu was sick, and if he didn't get treatment, his life would be in danger. He asked the shopkeeper to bring out a large slate from under the bed in the back room, and it was a blue and red slate!
Zhu Caifu looked at the blue and red slate, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and pointed to the blue and red slate: "This, this ......"
Zhang Zhao waved his hand and said: "I'll talk about this later, it's important to see the illness first." ”
After that, Zhang Zhao put the blue and red slate in the center of the store, and asked Zhu Caifu to strip off his shirt and lie naked on the blue and red slate.
People drinking tea in the tea house gathered around.
"What's going on?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Zhao told everyone: "This blue and red slate has a miraculous effect, lying on it can cure all diseases. ”
Everyone was amazed when they heard this.
After an hour, Zhang Zhao asked Zhu Caifu to get up and drink a bowl of medicinal tea he brewed.
Tanaka happened to have nothing to do and came to the tea house, and saw Zhu Caifu lying naked on the blue and red slate, which was very strange, he looked at Zhang Zhao: "Shopkeeper Zhang, what's going on?" ”
Zhang Zhao said that the blue and red slate can cure all diseases.
Tanaka also seemed surprised, and asked, "This, this ......."
"You are asking about this blue and red slate, there are two pieces in my family's ancestry, called Yin and Yang Stone, the one that was lost before is the Yin and Yang red slate, and this one is the Yang Qing Red Slate."
Tanaka said "oh", "I see."
