After Su Minyou and Zhou Mingrui took the oath, Huang Shi turned around and stretched out his right hand to Su Minyou first, Su Minyou is obviously not very suitable for this way, although he has just seen that the canon rules say that the meeting etiquette of this comrade in the sect is to shake hands, but there is no illustration on how to shake it, so he saw that Huang Shi stretched out his right hand, and he also stretched out his right hand.

Huang Shimian looked at Su Minyou with a smile, the palm of his right hand was stretched out, his four fingers were together, he held Su Minyou's outstretched right hand, and used a moderate force to stick it in his hand, and then gently shook it from side to side, "Comrade Su Minyou, on behalf of the organization, I would like to welcome you to join our big family of natural Dao, you remember that we are all brothers and sisters under the Dao, I hope you will not live up to my expectations." ”

Su Minyou hurriedly said as written in the canon just now: "Thank you for the oath of Your Excellency the Forerunner, I will definitely keep in mind the purpose of the natural path and work hard in the post of building the heavenly kingdom on earth." ”

When it was Zhou Mingrui's turn, Zhou Mingrui was a little nervous, he hurriedly put his hand on the hem of his clothes and wiped the sweat in his palm, and then carefully stretched out his hand to shake it with Huang Shi, but his waist, which had been begging for life for many years, unconsciously became a little bent. "Mingrui, you don't want to be like this, you should straighten your waist from today onwards, you should smile, look at each other, and shake hands with the right weight and tightness. You must know that this handshake ceremony is the most common and common etiquette in our interactions in the upper realm, and everyone will use the handshake to express our feelings and attitudes towards each other when meeting, saying goodbye, congratulating, thanking, encouraging each other, reuniting after a long absence, and giving gifts. ”

After shaking hands with Zhou Mingrui, Huang Shi repeated what he had just said to Su Minyou, and Zhou Mingrui obviously followed Su Minyou's example and made a statement to Huang Shi. After the oath-taking ceremony, Huang Shi put away the red flag, and then said, "Come, let's all sit here and discuss the next step to rescue Chen Youxin." ”

After the two of them were also seated, Huang Shi opened his mouth and asked Su Minyou, "You tell us about the specific situation of that Jiang Inspector and his village, and the three of us can just plan it." ”

Su Minyou thought about it and said, "Then Jiang Inspector's name is Jiang Zhicheng, and he is a bully from Datian in Fuqing, who sets up cards to collect taxes and covers prostitutes and gambling. In short, in Su Minyou's mouth, this Jiang Patrol is simply a big bad guy with sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet, and sure enough, Su Minyou said again.

"This Jiang family has annexed a large amount of land in the name of 'dedication' since the ancestors, and most of the high-quality paddy fields in Shanqian, Qianlian, Dazhi, Panasonic and other villages have been occupied by him, and the farmers in these villages have basically become tenant farmers of his family, he bullied men and women when he was young, lent money and collected rent, and even set up a public court and prison in his own house after being a patrol, so the townsmen also hated him."

"Oh, then are you sure that your eldest brother Chen Youxin is in his compound? Will he be transferred to his patrol checkpoint?" Huang Shi asked the most critical core question.

"That guy can only find some small merchants in Datianyi to start with oil and water, so he has been looking for me and other maritime merchants in recent years, and the tickets of the captive people are only locked up in his Jiang family compound, and they will only be let go when they pay enough money, and these people have already found out clearly."

"So was the Jiang family's compound built in the four villages you just mentioned, and how far is his house from the sea or the official road?"

"This Jiang Zhicheng built an independent village at the foot of Niuding Mountain, not in these villages, and it takes at least half an hour to walk from the official road, and it is not far from the sea."

……

After learning about other situations, Huangshi has such a concept, although Jiang Zhicheng's yard is three acres of land, several courtyards, and there are more than 20 family slaves, but this Jiang Zhicheng is unpopular in Datian, if he attacks his village, his villagers are estimated to only be bystanders, and his Zhuangzi is far away from the official road, so naturally in the process of attacking, there is no need to worry that his other subordinates in Datian will come to the rescue.

"Okay, then let's discuss it here, Lao Su, you go to find a boat that can go to the Dongluo Island you just mentioned in the afternoon, Mingrui, you will stay in Fucheng this time, help me take care of this home, it's already noon, I'll invite you to eat our instant noodles in the upper realm once, let's go to the kitchen stove to boil water together."

It turned out that Huangshi had already checked in the yard once when he came, the house had been cleaned up very clean, the pots and pans in the kitchen were all there, and they had been washed, and there were some firewood piled up in the kitchen, and there was also water in the water tank that was just picked up yesterday.

When they arrived in the kitchen, Huang Shi and Su Min were sitting on the bench, not because they didn't want to help, but because they couldn't help, I saw Zhou Mingrui roll up his sleeves, pull out some small branches from the firewood pile and hand them to the stove, and then looked around the stove, then raised his head and said to Huang Shi embarrassedly, "Sir, in this new courtyard, I only bought a handful of firewood, but I forgot to buy the flint." ”

"Oh, it's okay, then you can take this lighter and try it." After Huang Shi finished speaking, he took out a zippo lighter from his arms and walked over and handed it to Zhou Mingrui, after Zhou Mingrui took it with his right hand, he followed the original Huang Shi's teaching, flicked it up with his thumb and opened the cover, and then skillfully pressed the switch to Lu Xia, and suddenly saw a pinch of yellow-blue flames erupting from it.

Su Min was very surprised when he saw it, "Sir, what is this, but the fire sickle of the upper realm is not successful?" He thought that in the past, only the things used by immortals could be so exquisite.

"Well, that's right." Huang Shi handed the lighter that Zhou Mingrui returned to Su Minyou, "You see this is it, but this fire sickle is called a lighter in our upper realm, and his brand is called zippo, which is also a good brand among similar magic weapons in our upper realm." ”

"Ah, that's ingenious." Su Min touched the all-metal glass shell of the lighter, and felt that it had a strange texture, and after Huang Shi taught him how to use it, he tried it several times in succession, looking at the gushing flames, and couldn't help but say, "Sir, there are a lot of this object in the upper realm, if it can be sold by us all over the world." ”

Huang Shi smiled a little bitterly, "Originally, I wanted to buy you Sihaixing this time, in addition to borrowing your original channels to sell some powder boxes and makeup mirrors, there is also this kind of lighter, Lao Su, how many taels of silver can you sell this kind of lighter here?" ”

"If you don't say it's a fairy thing, just say that it's such a delicate object at least a hundred taels of silver." Su Minyou touched this strange thing with some love.

"Oh, in this way, it seems that after we finish solving Jiang Zhicheng as soon as possible, we can start selling this thing, then I will give you this lighter, and Mingrui will give you this one." After speaking, Huang Shi took out an ice-blue painted lighter from his arms and handed it to Zhou Mingrui, who was standing aside.

"Sir, how dare you do this." Su Minyou was obviously happy and frightened by Huangshi's generosity.

"The two of you are proficient in using it yourself, and you will be more exemplary when you explain it to guests in the future." Speaking of this, Huang Shi laughed, "By the way, I can also give you a book about hundreds of strange ways to play this lighter, you can practice slowly." ”

Su Minyou has been constantly exposed to the nouns of the upper realm like Zhou Mingrui, but he really doesn't understand what Fan is, "Sir, what is this Fan?" ”

"Fan, that's how we describe a person in the upper realm as cool and handsome." Seeing that Su Min still didn't understand, he could only borrow a description, "Do you know the wise men of the bamboo forest in the Wei and Jin dynasties, they are celebrities like them." ”

"Ahh Su Minyou suddenly remembered the image of those celebrities who were open-chested and exposed, drunk and lice, and couldn't help but shrink his neck in fright, such a fan is not a good image.

……

Huang Shi then taught the two of them how to use and maintain the lighter, and told them that this lighter should also be used carefully, especially that cotton should be cut once a year, and then how to replace the flint, how to fill oil, etc., and then remembered that he gave them two machines, and those accessories were forgotten, so he took out two more copies of flint, cotton, and kerosene and gave them them.

At this time, Zhou Mingrui saw that the water in the pot had been boiled, so he said to Huang Shi, "Sir, this water has been boiled, but what else do you want me to do?" ”

"I'll give you fresh shrimp and fish noodles today." Huang Shi originally wanted to bring the two of them a braised beef noodle, which was spicy and strong enough, but then thought that chili peppers were native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, and it was not until the end of the 15th century that Columbus discovered the Americas and brought them back to Europe, and from there, they spread to other parts of the world, and now it may be a few years before they are introduced to China. Therefore, it is obviously impossible for the coastal people of Fujian at this time to eat spicy, and they originally wanted to let people taste delicious, but it turned out to make people stick out their tongues, and the breath like a dog was not beautiful.

Su Minyou and Zhou Mingrui were naturally full of anticipation for this food in the upper realm, only to see Huang Shi put the 5 packs of instant noodles conjured out of the air on the stove, and then used a pair of white bright scissors to cut on the edge of the colorful package, and took out a yellow round dough cake from it.

Huang Shi threw all five pieces of dough into the boiling pot, then picked up the other small square bags in those bags and tore them one by one, and poured the gray powder into the pot, and suddenly a layer of red, yellow, green, and gray floated on the water surface of the pot.

After a while, there were bursts of aroma from the pot, this kind of aroma, not to mention that Zhou Mingrui had never smelled it, even the well-informed Su Min had never smelled it, this fragrance was so tempting, people couldn't help but swallow their mouths with relish, and the two couldn't help but swallow several times of saliva, thinking that the immortals in this fairy world are indeed very good at enjoying it, and this delicacy can be eaten every day.
