Chapter Forty-Eight: The Cave House

Li Beixiang looked at the building in front of him with a surprised expression, and was speechless for a while.

The sect of the Tianyang Sect is really different, from the outside, I don't think it's too high, but after you come in, you will find that this is really high.

In the Tianyang Sect's Mansion, each different area will have a different building such as the Scripture Pavilion.

These buildings have the lowest height of any area.

Li Beixiang looked at these buildings in amazement, and suddenly Liu Youcheng walked over.

"I said, Brother Li, what's so nice about this. Let me tell you, you haven't seen Zongcheng before, and the buildings there are called high. None of this is a big deal. Liu Youcheng looked at these buildings and said with disdain.

"Oh, have you ever been to Zongcheng? Then let me ask you, have you seen the sect master?" Li Beixiang looked at Liu Youcheng expectantly.

Liu Youchang sighed: "Alas, I have seen it." But what's the use of seeing it? For those of us who are far away by blood, it doesn't mean anything to see it. Alright, let's go to our own house quickly. ”

Liu Youcheng looked at Li Beixiang and urged in a low voice.

"Alright then, let's go. Li Beixiang shook his fan and walked towards his house according to the signs on the road.

Along the way, you can see a lot of signs, which are set up to prevent new disciples from getting lost.

The largest place in the Tianyang Sect is the Zongfu, which is almost equivalent to half of the Jingshi. It's just that the location of the Zongfu is still relatively remote compared to the Zongcheng.

Li Beixiang looked at the residential complex in front of him and couldn't help but admire: "When I was in Shuodong County before, I had never seen such a neat house. This time it's a real insight. ”

Liu Youcheng on the side pursed his lips and said, "What is this, there are more neat houses in Jingshi than this." When I have time, I'll take you to Jingshi to play, there is no fart here, and it is so boring that it explodes. ”

"Alright, don't talk about it here. I went in first. Li Beixiang found his living area and walked in first.

Liu Youcheng, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Brother Li, what are you in a hurry, wait for me, won't you let me in and sit?"

Li Beixiang walked into the house, turned his back to Liu Youcheng, and said, "If you want to come in, come in." ”

"Hey, okay. Liu Youcheng said happily.

Li Beixiang pushed open the gate and found that the courtyard was quite large. About half an acre, there is an old locust tree that is estimated to be many years old in the middle, and a pair of stone tables and chairs are placed under this locust tree.

There is a well in the middle, and the wellhead is neatly wrapped with green bricks, and a wooden barrel is placed on the side of the well. The green tiles on the pavilion above the well were covered with moss.

Li Beixiang walked to the stone table and sat on the stone bench.

"It's really hot. Li Beixiang shook his fan and looked at Liu Youchengdao, who was sweating profusely.

"Alas, this is the weather in July and August, what can be done about the heat. Liu Youcheng took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his head.

"Let's go, I'll help you clean up your house first, and you'll help me later. Liu Youcheng looked at Li Beixiang, who was fanning.

"Crunch"

The door of the house was pushed open, and Li Bei took a step forward.

Liu Youcheng followed behind Li Beixiang and looked at the layout of the house.

"This house is very clean, it seems that someone has cleaned it up before, and I said to help you clean it up." Liu Youcheng looked at the neat and clean house and said quite embarrassed.

The house is made up of three small rooms, in the middle is a lobby, about ten steps square, on the left is a kitchen, where you can cook your own meals, and on the right is the bedroom.

In the middle of the lobby, against the back wall, is a table, and on either side of the table are two Taishi chairs.

There is a pair of words hanging on the back, and the words "Wan Si" are written.

Li Beixiang sat on the chair on the left, while Liu Youcheng sat on the right.

Tianyang Zongguo respects the left, so Li Beixiang, as the master, is understandable to sit in this seat.

"I said Brother Liu, why is it so cool here?" Li Beixiang felt that the temperature inside was much lower than that outside since he walked into this house.

"The roof of this house is not made of ordinary green tiles, as we all know, the green tiles of this house are fired from ordinary clay. And the tiles covered on this house are made of cold earth. This cold soil is a good thing, build a house with bricks and tiles made of this kind of thing, and the house will be warm in winter and cool in summer. However, this thing has a downside, and that is that it is expensive. It is estimated that the roof of this house, that is, the top, is this kind of tile. Liu Youcheng looked at the roof and explained.

"Let me tell you, the entire Zongcheng is made of bricks and tiles made of cold earth. ”

"Hey, so luxurious?!" Li Bei gasped, he also knew this cold soil, but it was almost useless in Shuodong County.

It's not that you can't afford it, but it's not necessary. The people there built their houses with bricks made of local red clay, even the general's mansion where Li Duanjiang was stationed. It's not that you can't afford it, but you really don't need it.

Because Shuodong County is located in the northernmost part of the entire Tianyang Sect, the temperature is relatively low. The red soil of Shuodong County has a good heat preservation function, so it is completely unnecessary to use cold soil.

In addition, the price of cold soil is very expensive, and one tael of cold soil is worth one or two pieces of silver.

Li Beixiang really couldn't imagine that the entire Zongcheng was using cold soil, how much was the conversation?

"Brother Liu, why does this sect have a kitchen for this courtyard that this sect has assigned us?" Li Beixiang asked with a puzzled expression.

When Liu Youcheng heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Li, you can be regarded as asking the right person." Before I came, I had already inquired about all the things about the entire sect. Why is this equipped with a kitchen, this is because the sect does not take care of the rice, and if you eat, you have to cook it yourself. ”

"What? I won't do it myself? I won't do it? The sect doesn't let the disciples go out at this time, is it possible that I can't eat anymore?" Li Beixiang became anxious on the spot when he heard this. If you cook and eat it yourself, you won't starve to death.

"Brother Li doesn't have to worry, there will be someone pushing a cart to sell food at that time. After all, you are not the only one who can't cook, and your own house can also be transformed by yourself. Therefore, there are many disciples who can cook and turn their houses into restaurants to sell food. Liu Youcheng looked like he knew everything.

"Can it be like this?" Li Beixiang was taken aback.

"What is this, you must know that many of the disciples of the sect are from ordinary families. And the government charges a fee every year, which is not low. If they don't find a way to make money on their own, what will they pay?" Liu Youcheng said with a look of disdain.

"That's good, that's good. Li Bei smiled at the armrest.

"Brother Li, it's not too early at this time, why don't we go to dinner. Liu Youcheng looked at the sky and felt that it was not early, and it was time for lunch.

"It just so happens that I'm a little hungry too. Let's go. Li Beixiang took the folding fan and walked out.

The two of them walked around outside and finally found a place to eat.

I saw that this place was already full of people, bustling.

Liu Youcheng took the lead and walked over and squeezed through the crowd.

"Who, the cook, hurry up and give me a table of good wine and food, grandpa is not drunk today, grandpa can't get your money." Liu Youcheng squeezed to the front, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and slapped it directly on the table.

An outer disciple wearing an apron saw the silver on the table, smiled and put the silver into his arms, and said loudly: "This disciple, please take a seat, the wine and food are here." ”

Liu Youcheng stood there and beckoned to Li Beixiang, who was standing outside the crowd.

Li Beixiang looked at Liu Youcheng's funny scene and felt funny.

"Brother Li, let's go and sit inside. Liu Youcheng pulled Li Beixiang inside.

This small restaurant is a restaurant, but it doesn't look like a restaurant at all.

Strictly speaking, this is a small courtyard where outer disciples live.

There were five or six tables in the middle of the main hall, and a dozen tables in the open air outside, and the kitchen had also been changed to an open one by the disciples in this house.

The chef inside cooks and collects money, which is completely a combination of the cook and the shopkeeper.

And the running guys inside are a few disciples next door, and they mix together, and it becomes this small restaurant.

"Brother Liu, do you want to do this here, doesn't the Zongfu care?" Li Beixiang looked at Liu Youcheng with a curious expression.

Liu Youcheng picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Li Beixiang and himself.

"The Zongfu is in charge, there is no place to take care of food in the Zongfu, so I can only acquiesce to this, otherwise what should I do? Is it true that so many people are starving to death?" Liu Youcheng took a sip of tea and smashed his mouth.

"Also, this little restaurant is not so easy to open. First of all, you have to get the consent of the sect first, and only if the sect agrees, you can open it, otherwise don't open it. Also, after this restaurant opens, you have to pay taxes to the Zongfu, otherwise you don't want to open it. It's just that this tax is not high, forty taxes and one tax. Liu Youcheng drank tea and said lightly.

Li Beixiang shook his fan and said in his heart: "This is really wonderful, I thought that this sect could be so high, and it turned out that it was also doing some market business." ”

"This disciple, the meal is here. ”

A running boy in coarse cloth clothes walked up to Liu Youcheng with a plate of vegetables and put all the food on Liu Youcheng's table.

"And your wine, two, slow use. ”

Liu Youcheng took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopsticks on the table, handed them to Li Beixiang, and then picked up a piece of meat.

"You don't look like this restaurant is as big as the outside, but this dish has a different taste. Liu Youcheng stuffed a piece of meat in his mouth and said vaguely.

Li Beixiang picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine.

Li Beixiang took the wine glass and drank it all.

"It's not bad, it tastes a little bit good. Li Beixiang wiped his mouth and commented.

"Hey, by the way, where did the food in this restaurant come from? And if they are so persistent in cooking, then what about their cultivation? Could it be that they don't need to cultivate?" Li Beixiang put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Liu Youcheng with a curious expression.
