Chapter 239: The Daily Life of the Little Tanuki Slave (Part II)

Fish.... It's really not easy to get at this time. Although the www.biquge.info pen is a small town called Yanqi not far away, you can get some fish. But to get this Gaochang to sell, it is estimated that it will take two or three days. Therefore, the price of fish here has always been high, and not many people eat it. So even if the smoke and cold water drew the shape of a fish on the ground, the two brothers and sisters didn't have the ability to get one.

However, Wu Ya thought about it, and when he came to Gaochang in the past, there were still a few scholars. Wu Yao studied with his parents when he was a child, and he also took him here in Gaochang for a year or two. Although the memory is a little vague, it should be remembered correctly.

"So, I'll go to the city tomorrow, and if I meet a few local acquaintances, we'll be able to eat together." It's just that if I can't do it, I'll take your few catties of beans, and I can exchange it for half a fish. "Wu Crow doesn't care, it's normal for raccoon dogs to like to eat fish, but they can't afford it now that they are poor.

Yan Hanshui nodded, then meowed twice, and returned to the warm room. The next day, the scholar entered Gaochang with smoke and cold water.

In Gaochang City, there is actually nothing to do. Although there are also merchants and hawkers, there are obviously not many of them. Although Anxi and Beiting were still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, the merchants who came and went could not reach the Central Plains through Tubo, so the place gradually became desolate. Of course, there are a few vendors of all kinds, and although the place is not large, it is also full of organs.

Even Yan Hanshui saw the candy man's various candy and pastry vendors, after all, although the war is not far away, it has little impact on this place after all. In one corner, Wu Ya saw a vendor buying small dried fish.

"How is this sold?" Wu Yao looked at it, and then asked. In fact, this is really a small dried fish, which has been weathered for a while, and there is some coarse salt on it. Yan Hanshui looked at it with disgust, and he didn't plan to eat it at all. Yan Hanshui felt that if he came to such a small dried fish, he would probably be salted to death.

The peddler greeted him with a smile: "It's not expensive, it's a pound." ”

This price is not expensive or cheap, after all, now in the stage of war, a bucket of corn (about equal to 12.5 catties) costs more than 100 yuan, let alone this catty of dried fish. Of course, a pound in this era is heavier than in later generations, but this dried fish, Yan Hanshui really didn't plan to eat it. (Tang is sixteen taels per catty, and 680 grams per catty.) )

Yan Hanshui meowed twice, then flicked his tail and left here directly. This move made Wu Ya and the fish seller quite embarrassed, of course, for this kind of dried fish to eat raccoons, it is indeed not with people's appetite.

The fish seller said to Wu Ya: "It seems that this little fox tastes very good, but there are not many fresh fish sold, and it may come to Gaochang to sell it the day after tomorrow." The price is estimated to be about a thousand dollars. ”

Scholar Wu Ya shook his head and left with Yan Hanshui. After all, he really can't afford this price, if you count the wheat, a thousand yuan is enough to buy ten buckets. Of course, you need to go back to grind noodles by yourself, Wu Ya doesn't have the physical strength.

Since you can't get the fish, you have to visit. Wu Ya thought about a few mansions that were once familiar with literati, and then walked over with smoke and cold water. All right...... Most of them are no longer here, perhaps because of the war or because it is too miserable. A few of them have already reached Anxi, and those who have made a name for themselves here have also mixed up with good civilian positions, but of course there are not a few people.

When I came to the front of a large courtyard, I found that a banquet was being held here, and there were quite a few people. Wu Ya had already inquired clearly, and then arched his hand to the servant at the door: "Say hello to the envoy on my behalf, and say Wu Crow Wu Xuezhong, come to visit." ”

The servant at the door looked at it, after all, the reader was still very easy to recognize. In the past few years, there have been wars every day, and many people have fled. But there are not many scholars in the entire North Garden, and Anxi can be better. Therefore, he has more respect for scholars, even if Wu Ya is a poor and sour talent.

After a while, a middle-aged man walked out quickly. When he saw Wu Ya, he immediately looked at it for a long time, and then said happily: "Xuezhong, it's actually you!" Oh my God, you actually escaped from Guazhou...... I don't know what happened to Lingtang? ”

Wu Ya sighed: "My father has passed away for many years, and my sister Wu Yun and I were found and rescued by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty this time. Seeing An Guo this time is really like a big dream. ”

Both of them were silent, this man was less than thirty, seven or eight years ago, his father was familiar with Wu Ya's father, and even the word Xuezhong was given by his father Yan Ming Yan Anguo. Of course...... This Yan Ming definitely wouldn't let Wu Yao stand at the door, and invited him directly to the house.

Yan Hanshui meowed and walked in. Yan Ming looked at Yan Hanshui's cat form and was stunned: "Brother Wu, where did you get such an obedient little fox?" ”

Wu Ya smiled: "This time I also came for it...... This raccoon dog is quite humane, and has brought food to our brother and sister many times, so I wanted to go into the city to get it a fresh fish, but unfortunately it was not sold. I happened to see that Brother Yan was still here, so I came to pay a visit. ”

After Wu Ya said this, he brought the little fox food to him, and he could also draw, and talked about human things. Yan Ming was surprised and said that if Wu Ya was right, he would get a fresh fish for this little fox today. Yan Ming is now mixed with a long history, although he has no real power, but he also has some capital. Beneath a well dug in their house, there were indeed a few fresh fish.

Yan Ming's family was having a banquet, and he invited a few scholars to get together, and by the way, he also invited his old superior, Yang Xingu, to eat and talk on this snowy day. After all, even if the war is not good, this time the North Court has an additional population of nearly 2,000, which is indeed a happy event for the sparsely populated North Court.

Of course, Chinese have always liked to talk about things at the dinner table, and it is the same here. After all, most of the people who come are characters with heads and faces, and the scholars are basically a little famous, because there are not many literate people in this place.

Yan Ming introduced Wu Ya to the person sitting again, and then they all got to know each other. Yang Zhengu is also both civil and military, and people who can become the envoys of the capital and the festival in these years basically have a good literary style, after all, many of the festival envoys have written good poems.

However, this is not the time to discuss poetry, but mainly to study how to settle these displaced people. Gaochang City is not as large as Beiting, so the number of people resettled is smaller. A young representative of a local family arched his hand: "It is better to build it on the edge of the city, and at most 1,000 people can quickly retreat to the city if they encounter an attack by Tibet." ”

The other person shook his head: "No, there are a lot of Tibetan cavalry, if you find it a little late, won't you all die outside the city?" Who will dare to open the door and release people at that time? ”

"But there really aren't too many places in the city, otherwise if you donate your mansion, I think you can live hundreds of homeless people." The man retorted, and for a moment Yan Hanshui felt as if he had come to some forum in the future.
