The morning breeze blew slightly, and the crystal clear dew drops slid down the green leaves of the towering trees, falling into the water and causing ripples.

Under the sun was a sparkling country, the air was filled with the aroma of mud and water after a rainstorm, and a small boat was breaking through the water and slowly advancing north.

Zhang Yanzhi and Huzi each sat on one side of the boat, and the eldest sister sat at the end, and the three of them chatted from time to time.

The main reason is that Huzi admires Zhang Yanzhi very much, and constantly asks questions to Zhang Yanzhi, so that he has to work hard to deal with it, so as to avoid contradictions and flaws before and after. The eldest sister was quiet, but she also interjected a few words, and several people talked happily.

It turned out that the eldest sister's real name was Li Yunsheng, and Huzi's real name was Li Yunhu, and their generation all wore the word 'cloud', and they were all members of the Li family, but the relationship between them was relatively far away.

Lijia Village is mainly composed of people from the Li clan, and later there are surnames Luo and Hu who moved in, but after many years, they have long been integrated and intertwined, and they are like a family.

What's more, after the recent forced expropriation by the government, only the old and weak are left in each family, and everyone is even more sympathetic and united.

Zhang Yanzhi's side continued to remain mysterious, only saying that he was from overseas, and he was undoubtedly a Han Chinese, and he came to trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone chatted happily, and time passed quickly, and in less than an hour, they had already gone ashore, and they only needed to walk a little way behind.

Zhang Yanzhi put away the gas of the rubber boat and put it away with the oars, and asked casually:

"Do you know what the place we're going to is called?"

"Pinghai City." The eldest sister's parents are said to be a bit educated, and she is also knowledgeable.

"I haven't heard of it, what county does it belong to?"

"Guishan County."

"Where's the house?" Zhang Yanzhi is also impressed by this.

"Goose City Mansion."

"Oh—I see." Zhang Yanzhi finally knew the approximate location.

It turned out to be the goose city of Zhujiang Province, which was already an 'important town in eastern Guangdong' in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and has always been the political, economic, military, cultural center and commodity distribution center of the Dongjiang Basin. The more famous thing in history is: Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty was demoted to Goose City and stayed for three years, and his concubine Wang Chaoyun was also buried here.

Goose City, this place, can not be regarded as remote, but it is not a prosperous place, if you really want to sell high-priced goods and buy more expensive antiques, you have to go to Yangcheng, Zhujiang Province.

After walking for another two hours, they finally arrived at Pinghai County.

Zhang Yanzhi and the three of them came to the city, looking up at the city wall, Pinghai City is still more spectacular, the green tile and red wall, six meters high, a city wall is more than 400 meters long, there are many battlements on it, in the middle is a tall city tower building, but the city gate is not very wide, can only allow 2 people to pass, very conducive to defense.

In fact, Pinghai City is not a county seat, but a guard city in the Ming Dynasty, where paramilitary institutions are stationed, where more than 100 soldiers are stationed, and the largest official is 100 households.

However, the guard system has long collapsed, and now most of the soldiers in Pinghai City have become ordinary people, engaged in business, agricultural production, etc., and Pinghai City has also become the throat of the sea import and export of Echeng Prefecture because of its proximity to the sea, and merchants gathered, developing from a purely military city to a city that pays equal attention to border and commerce.

At the gate of the city, there were two guards standing crookedly, without helmets and weapons, wearing a shabby red jacket and armor, no matter who entered the city, they had to hand over a few copper plates, and if they were a little slow, they would be beaten and scolded, and their attitude was extremely bad.

Zhang Yanzhi is worried that his hands are full of silver, and it is not good to make a move.

The soldiers of the two guards also saw Zhang Yanzhi and a few people, their faces changed, they didn't mention the entrance fee at all, and smiled at Zhang Yanzhi very respectfully: "This son, the little one is polite." ”

"Huh, you've worked hard." Zhang Yanzhi was very strange why they looked at him differently, so he took out a few candies from the space-time ring and gave them to them, and took the eldest sister and Huzi into the city.

"...... this?" The two little soldiers were also very strange, and Zhang Yanzhi actually gave them something.

"Leper Lee, we are blessed!" One of the creeps was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

"Brother Gongzi is in a good mood today, reward us with candy, haha"

"I'm going to bring it back and give it to the brunette to taste."

"Lao Tzu has never eaten this thing in his life, so I will eat it first."

"Whatever you want, I can't bear it."

．．．．．．．

"Yunshang, why don't they take us money? ＂

The eldest sister was called by a man and blushed a little, and before she could speak, she was robbed by Huzi to answer:

"Brother Zhang, that group of soldiers and ruffians have eyes, everyone knows that you are a nobleman, how dare you stop it?"

"Ahem." Is the labor-management minister so handsome? Zhang Yanzhi was happy in his heart. As everyone knows, it is actually the credit of his scholarly outfit.

He has a set of high-end scholar clothes, and at first glance, he is either rich or expensive, and the status of a scholar in the Ming Dynasty is high, which is the little soldier standing at the gate of the city can offend? It's normal to greet each other with a smile.

"Let's have something to eat first."

"Then come with me to do some errands, and buy iron pots and food when I go back."

"Good (good)." The two answered.

Pinghai City is surprisingly prosperous, the buildings in the city are densely packed, the shops are numerous, the streets are very narrow, but there are many people, and the sound of selling and bargaining comes and goes.

Zhang Yanzhi walked into a restaurant with the two of them, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him:

"Childe eats or stays in a hotel?"

"Eat."

"Inside, please!"

The three of them sat down, and the shopkeeper asked flatteringly:

"Childe, what to eat?"

When Huzi entered the restaurant for the first time, his face was full of excitement, and he also wanted to come over to order, but he was immediately stopped by the spicy eldest sister.

Zhang Yanzhi also found it funny, but he didn't know how to order food in ancient times, so he took out a tael of silver and threw it to the shopkeeper:

"You can bring some good food, I will ask you later, and if you answer well, I will reward you for the rest."

The shopkeeper took the silver and shook it, his heart was shocked, and it took a while to react, and he was happy that he couldn't find the north.

"Thank you...... Childe, okay, let's go, little one. ”

"Childe, that's too much, isn't it?" The eldest sister was a little surprised.

One or two silver, the consumption power is equivalent to more than 800 RMB in modern times, of course, this money is nothing in a big restaurant, but it is also a huge amount of money in a small local restaurant like Pinghai City.

"It's okay, I still have a lot of things I want to ask him, what do you mean."

While talking, the restaurant served tea and snacks first, and the snacks were nothing more than candied fruits and the like, Zhang Yanzhi was not interested, but Li Yunshang and Li Yunhu ate a lot.

After that, more than a dozen dishes were served, such as white-cut chicken, Cantonese roast duck, fried crab, steamed fish, shrimp, and ......

This completely blinded the eyes of the three people, Zhang Yanzhi was surprised that the number of dishes in the Ming Dynasty was not inferior to that of modern times, while Li Yunshang and Li Yunhu had never seen so many exquisite dishes.

"That's too much, isn't it?" Li Yunshang didn't know how many times she said this, and the tiger next to her was full of intoxication and drooling, eager to turn into a tiger and pounce on it immediately.
