Chapter 370: Lu Shang
The plan of the day was in the morning, and after a night's journey, when it was time to hand over, the caravan chose to stop by the roadside shop.
The banner of the foot shop was swept in one place by the wind, but no one noticed, and the foot shop on the official road was usually open day and night, providing convenience for the pedestrian caravans on the way. It was also the time of the shift change, and the guys who had been busy all night and the guys who came early in the morning were busy walking through the foot shop, some of them were in a hurry.
Noodles with clear soup and beef with dry cuts are only available in the shop, but they are enough to meet the customers who come to the shop day and night to eat noodles.
The crooked chili peppers and vinegar on the table are placed for merchants from the north and south to add by themselves. The aroma of meat and flour emanates in the air, making people feel appetizing. These hot noodle soups are much better than the dry water and steamed buns on the road.
The merchants who couldn't grab a seat simply held the bowl and squatted to eat, making bursts of exaggerated exclamations while eating.
Xiao Er frowned, and when he passed by the group of merchants, he saw a blank bowl in the middle at some point, and a few dice were dripping and turning in it.
Sitting against the wall in the back was a thin young man, not very good-skinned, and average-looking, but with a pair of eyes purring, looking very clever, and happily playing dice with the same group of merchants.
Xiao Er couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it: Looking at this young man's appearance, it doesn't look like a good one, and in a few years, he will definitely be a street wandering and idle bastard. There were all kinds of people in this kind of caravan, and there were many young servants like this bastard. Maybe they were too lazy to care, or maybe they were having fun, and those merchants didn't care.
After being shouted and walked away a few times by the spicy servants in the caravan, Xiao Er missed the gamblers who gathered in a circle over there, at least there were not so many things, didn't there?
In the past, the noodles were almost all eaten, everyone's appetite was excellent, the food was clean, even the soup base was left, Xiao Er was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and his eyes glanced at it casually, so at a glance, he glanced at everyone's side, he noticed that the young man had a pile of silver around him, although it was not the most, but it was also a lot, there were losses and wins, he was not the most winning, but he was always able to keep each handful of money.
It was also a coincidence that he was staring at the young man carefully, but when he saw a flower in front of him, the young man seemed to have inadvertently brought a pile of silver around him, and the amount of silver immediately decreased a lot.
I'll go! Feelings: This guy is not slow to move, maybe he is a pickpocket! Sure enough, it's not a good thing, Xiao Er was convinced, and stared at it for a while, but he saw that he did his own silver and didn't touch others, so he stopped looking at him suspiciously.
After resting for a while, adding fodder and water, the caravan sounded its trumpet and was about to hit its way again. On the carriage of the leader at the front was a banner with a banner on it, with the word "Lu" on it, and the seals of many trading houses on the lower right.
With this flag, this caravan will not be troubled in any way when it travels through the territory of Ludi. There are five major merchant gangs in Dachu, Hui Merchants, Jin Merchants, Zhejiang Merchants, Guangdong Merchants and Lu Merchants, and this caravan that is not long is the caravan under the Lu Merchants.
Although the merchants who played dice over there were not yet fun, they also knew that they couldn't play, so they got up one after another, and the young man who had won a lot raised his eyes to look at the flag, and his eyes were extremely bright: Lu Shang! It is really blessed by the ancestors. She just slipped into the caravan at random, but she didn't expect to enter the caravan under the Lu Shang, this time not only was there no obstacle in Ludi, but even out of Ludi, almost no one would stop her on the official road.
Now it's time to ask where the caravan is going.
Xiao Er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, noticed someone approaching, looked up, but saw that it was the young man who had played dice with the merchant before. Xiao Er muttered to himself, and instinctively covered his money bag, good guy, he saw the trick just now, but he saw it in his eyes, and he didn't react for a while.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Er asked vigilantly.
Throwing over a string of money, there was no imaginary thing to pick up his money bag, Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, the young man laughed, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "Wrap me some dry cut beef, cut it, and take it with you on the road to eat." ”
Oh, gamblers' money is easy to earn, probably easy to win, so spending money is also lavish, since ancient times, it has been the case. Xiao Er looked at him, wiped his hands, wrapped the beef for him, and saw that he was biting the hemp rope tied to the beef in his mouth, and he stepped forward to help with a bucket in one hand.
It was much more brisk than the servants who carried a bucket and walked staggeringly.
I didn't expect this young man who gambled like a bastard to have a good strength.
The young man was average, but he had a sweet mouth, could talk, and still had strength in his hands, and he helped the spicy girl in the caravan carry two buckets of water and began to ask: "Where is the caravan going, I haven't asked if I am in a hurry to enter the caravan." ”
The spicy girl laughed, her hands on her hips, and her actions were a little rude and bold, this kind of servant who walked with the caravan all the year round was like this, and slowly honed a habitual pungency.
The girl pointed to the boy's head and scolded with a smile: "I'm lazy, isn't it?" Didn't the steward say it? This time, we will walk for a long time, starting from Ludi, we have to walk through a large area in the south of the Yangtze River, and then we have to pass through the two lakes to Yunnan-Guidi, which is only a line away from southern Xinjiang, are you afraid? I heard! The men, women and children in southern Xinjiang will also eat people, and they will also practice evil arts, at that time, you don't run around, carefully be caught by the Miao girls of Yungui and help them give birth to cubs! ”
The words are very rough, and they are also very refreshing and spicy, and there is no change in the slightest when it comes to giving birth to cubs.
The young man smiled, disapproving, the servant girls in the caravan were spicy, and the boys didn't mix much, and they were very thick-skinned. He slipped into the wagon, and in a short time he was lying in the wagon, looking at the sky with his arms on his back.
What a coincidence, this way can follow this Lu merchant caravan together. Wei Yaoqing smiled, Ludi has the benefits of mountains and seas, and the most powerful output is salt and iron, but it is mostly controlled by the government, and it is not easy to get the salt introduction, there are not many ordinary caravans that can sell salt and iron, most of them are other objects, special products, etc.
"Hey, what's your name?" A familiar voice sounded on the side, and she didn't deliberately remember it, because in her cognition, this voice didn't matter, but the memory was too good and not good, even if she didn't deliberately remember it, she still remembered. Wei Yaoqing got up and looked at the spicy girl outside through the wooden fence of the truck: "What are you doing here?" ”
It's the girl who just spoke to her.
The girl combed a braid, with two silk flowers on her head, tilted her head and looked at him: "Make a friend!" You're walking this line for the first time, and I'm not telling you. Don't you need a guide? After Ludi, it doesn't take much to get to Jiangnan, where there are a lot of fun and delicious food, as well as beautiful silk fans, I can take you to buy! ”
Wei Yaoqing shook her head and smiled: she dared to guarantee that she was much more familiar with this place in Jiangnan than this girl.
Not only that, in the land south of the Yangtze River, she also has old people. 2k reading web
