At this moment, just after noon, there is naturally still preparation for eating and drinking, so the kung fu of turning around is that four steaming baskets of mutton buns are served. Although the noodles of the pinched buns are corn noodles, not to mention the black color, there are some grinding throats, and the mutton inside is not clean, there is a faint fishy smell, but the advantage is that the amount is large, and the chives wrapped in it are excellent to reconcile the smell of mutton, and then dip it in the tempeh chili sauce on the table, the taste, how sour and refreshing.

A group of people ate the mutton bag in twos and threes, but instead of filling it, they felt that the hunger in their stomachs was aroused, and the dwarf Lori couldn't help but slap the table and urged:

"Hurry up and serve, I'm going to starve to death!"

"It's coming, don't be in a hurry!"

Because this is a waterside town, the humidity is quite heavy, so the food here is mainly hot and sour. Each dish is filled with sauerkraut and chili peppers. Sour can be appetizing, spicy can be dehumidified, and it tastes particularly sour. There is also the Sanhe soup in the pot, which is boiled out of the broth with pig's feet, put in glutinous rice, local unique beans, sour horns, tofu, salt, chili peppers, etc., which is very fragrant, sour and refreshing, drink a bowl of belly, it can be said that it is hot sweat trickling down, it seems that the fatigue and fatigue during the journey are swept away.

In addition, the liquor here is also very distinctive, especially the banana pumpkin wine, which is to cut the unripe plantain fruit into small pieces, cook and dry, put it into the wine cake and mix it thoroughly, put it in the jar and seal it for a month, and ferment it into an aromatic liquor. After the pumpkin is processed, a small hole is made in the pumpkin stem, and the plantain sake is put into the melon, and the hole is sealed for a month, and the pumpkin is filled with juice after fermentation of koji.

At the beginning, Qin Fen and a few people were very surprised when they saw that the shopkeeper directly brought a pumpkin to themselves, but they saw someone next to him who took a hollow wheat straw gangue and inserted it into it and sucked and drank it, only to know that there was a mystery in the pumpkin, this plantain pumpkin wine has both the sweetness of the plantain and the heavy fragrance of the pumpkin, and the drink is naturally full of praise from everyone.

After eating and drinking, the shopkeeper brought a kind of fish tea that was a local specialty, here every year around the third day of the third lunar month, spring returns to the earth, the frozen ice and snow in the misty mountains melt, and the frozen stream also begins to flow happily again. At this time, a fish that had not eaten in winter also woke up one after another, shaking their heads and tails to become lively again. Fishermen took the opportunity to use a special triangular net to catch a local scaleless and transparent whitebait from a deep stream.

Immediately while it is fresh, it is put into a special boiling water, which is made by adding salt, sugar, cinnamon, tea leaves, and other condiments and spices. When the fish is fully cooked, it is immediately taken out, put it in a basket to dry and get wet, and then dried with charcoal to make a blue-black dried fish, which is the 'tea leaves' of fish tea.

This kind of dried fish tea is placed in a special tin can, which can be stored for a long time, and is not easy to deform and taste, and it is precious, and it is a high-end consumer product, probably similar to the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain.

It is worth mentioning that the fish tea has no fishy smell, this is because the spice soup used to make the tea has washed away the fishy smell of the fish, and there are still these fish have not eaten in a winter, but only swim in the meltwater of the mountain ice and snow, which is very clean.

When the fish tea is brewed, soon the dried fish will be "resurrected" like the head up and tail down neatly arranged, as if playing in the water, quite ornamental.

Therefore, tasting fish tea is both a tea blessing and a feast for the eyes, if you drink it, when making tea, you also add good cattle fresh cowhide, alpine rice, ginger, drink it in one gulp, immediately the sour fragrance remains full of mouthful, it is hard to forget, even if it is a well-informed adventurer to see it, it is also amazing, it can only be said that it is an eye-opener and worth the trip.

The meal lasted for more than half an hour, and by the time everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the two tables were already full of messy cups and plates. Qin Fen and the others paid the money, and the dwarf Lori packed the uneaten chicken legs, and then turned around and left. But before leaving, the shopkeeper with two whiskers whispered:

"A few guest officers don't want to go to a remote place."

Qin Fen nodded, and he didn't know if he heard it, so he turned his head drunkly and went out.

The shopkeeper saw a few cheeky sneaky people at the door following him, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing:

"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you."

Not long after leaving the restaurant, a lean man in his forties, with two whiskers on his lips, approached him, wearing a small melon skin hat on his head, a navy blue cloth coat, and his eyes were rolling around.

"A few masters have just arrived, do you want to find a way?"

Qin Fen glanced at this person drunkenly, and said with a hiccup:

"How do you know we're new here?"

"Hey, I don't need to talk about that." The lean man said with a smile, "But whoever is used to running the rivers and lakes, eats and lives with livestock, and after a long time, there must be the smell of livestock on his body, and the masters are refreshing and neat." ”

The guy paused, then tentatively said:

"Didn't a few masters come to buy salt? I'm afraid I don't know the doorway yet. ”

Qin Fen blinked his eyes and said puzzledly:

"Isn't it possible to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other? What else can there be in this? ”

"Hey, how is that possible!" The lean man sneered, but the smile on his face became more and more intense, "The salt pond is so big, and there is so much salt produced every day, but there are as many merchants from all over the country as carp crossing the river, how can so many people divide it?" If you don't have a way, you don't even want to start with a pound of salt! ”

"It's so troublesome!" Qin Fen frowned very cooperatively, with a distressed expression on his face, and sighed, "This time I was going to make some achievements to impress the old man, but how did you encounter this kind of thing, you say...... What do you say? ”

"It's okay, Lao Zhang, I've been fighting in Longqiao for decades, who doesn't know me, if I come out, I guarantee that I will be caught!" As he spoke, he raised his head, blinked his mouse eyes, and rubbed his fingers obscenely.

Qin Fen blinked, and it took a while to understand, and he took out two gold coins from his arms, and said with a smile:

"Please also ask Lao Zhangtou to help!"

When Lao Zhangtou saw the gold coin in Qin Fen's hand, a pair of mung bean eyes radiated a very bright light, and then took the gold coin with lightning speed, put it in his mouth and bit it, and then put it next to his ear to listen, and finally took it into his arms with satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, a lonely appearance appeared on the face of this guy, who was a master of the world and regarded money as dung, drooping his eyelids, and doing tooth flowers:

"Oh, it's not that I want to collect money from you, it's just that you need to take care of the door-to-door relationship, these days, it's hard to do things without money. But don't worry, I'm here to make sure you get what you want! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at his greasy dandruff head, and said:

"Come with me, I'll get things done for you!"

Qin Fen's expressions were quite exciting, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

The two sides walked forward with their own hearts, people like Lao Zhang who walked through the streets and alleys, were most familiar with the short and gossip of the parents, and they were not lonely on the road, and said most of the interesting places in the town, such as the braised elbow in the drunken village building on East Street tasted the best, and the little lady of Ximen Erlang's family had the whitest skin and so on.

A few people walked through the streets and alleys all the way, and the nearby population gradually became sparse, and where could the adventurers not see that this guy was going around? I just sneered in my heart, and I didn't say anything.

Half an hour later, everyone was far out of the town and came to the outskirts of an upside-down pit. Here is a big pit that does not know what year and month appeared, at least there are seventeen or eighteen acres, the surrounding residents are pouring garbage into it, a few rainstorms in the summer, it is a big stinky puddle, at least five or six meters deep, the water above is black, occasionally bubble out from below is a "grunt" sound, what is the stinky mouse with maggots and the dead cat often float on it, it is estimated that it has never been dry inside, there is a wind blowing, the stench can drift away.

Naturally, no one will be bored to hang out in this kind of place, and the stench that can smoke people to death will not allow anyone to come here to fish or fish, in a word...... It's a good place to destroy corpses.

At this time, Qin Fencai stopped consciously, showed a little hesitation on his face, and said:

"Isn't it...... Going the wrong way? ”

"That's right, who said it was wrong." Lao Zhangtou sneered and stepped back, "This is the place I'm going to bring you to." ”

Qin Fen was about to ask again, and at this time, seventeen or eighteen scoundrels with knives and sticks suddenly rushed out of the grass next to him, blocking the way of Qin Fen and his party before and after, and the leader said with a cruel smile:

"You thieves and birds, hand over the money on your body to me obediently, and then take off your clothes and pants and squat next to you, master, for the sake of saving trouble, I will leave you a dog's life, otherwise, I will have to add a few more souls under the knife today!"
