3. Throw money and ask for directions (yesterday's third update)

"This guest officer, is it a top player or a hotel?" asked the shopkeeper with a smile.

In the shopkeeper's opinion, although Wang Hui was dressed as an ordinary person, like a scholar more than a Jianghu person, it seemed that he should not come to such a noisy inn at all. But Wang Hui didn't turn around and leave when he entered the door, his expression was calm in joy, and the shopkeeper knew that he couldn't easily regard Wang Hui as a scholar, after all, there were many strange people in the rivers and lakes!

"Staying in the hotel and eating. Bring me an upper room, and arrange a table in the hall. Wang Hui also replied with a smile.

"Yo, that's a good idea, I'll arrange a house for you! But I'll arrange food for you first! May I ask the guest officer, what would you like to eat?" said the shopkeeper, picking up a notebook and a brush from the table, ready to write it down.

"Beef, wine. If you have beef, what kind of wine do you have here?" Wang Hui didn't think twice, and ordered a "Jianghu Package".

The pairing of beef and wine, the earliest widely known should be seen in "Water Margin", and later many martial arts carried it forward, and later, it became a martial arts world, a must-eat package for travelers.

Of course, meat with drinks, even in modern times, is a very popular match for many people, such as meat with cola, which is not necessarily as refreshing as meat with wine, but the ancient drinks are only tea and wine, tea is relatively light, but wine can give people a "drunk" state that is easy to get excited.

"Then you have to have it! How many catties of beef does it cost? How do you eat it?" The shopkeeper first told Wang Hui that there was wine, and then asked how to eat beef.

"Let's have two catties, I want to sauce beef, not spicy, cut it into five big pieces." ”

"Okay, I'll make a note of it, two catties of beef in sauce, cut it into five big pieces! Okay! Remember! I'll tell you about the bar!" the shopkeeper said as he wrote down Wang Hui's request, and began to talk about wine again.

"The wine includes burning knives, daughter red, flower carving, and rice wine! I don't know what you want to drink, guest officer?"

The shopkeeper reported four kinds of wine in one go, which made Wang Hui stunned.

Daughter Red and Huadiao are actually rice wines, and the brewing method is also the same. Daughter Hong was originally a wine brewed on the day her daughter got married, and if her daughter unfortunately died halfway, it would be Huadiao. "Flower carving" means "flower withering".

The custom place for the initial rise of brewing this wine was Shaoxing, and Shaoxing was in Zhejiang, with ancient transportation, there were actually these two kinds of wine in Xinjiang, which made Wang Hui feel uncomfortable.

(Maybe it's just this brewing method, not necessarily from Shaoxing.) But if you really want to talk about it, isn't it even more wrong that there is no Xinjiang people in the Tianshan Mountains? Forget it, it's an alternate world. )

After thinking about it, Wang Hui nodded: "Then give me a pound of fifteen-year-old daughter Hong!"

"Okay! Wait a minute, you want an upper room, right? I'll see if there's any..." The shopkeeper took down Wang Hui's request and began to work for Wang Hui, he looked at the room card to make sure that there was still an upper room, and then took out a number plate to Wang Hui.

After Wang Hui handed over a piece of gold, the shopkeeper took it with a smile, and asked the runner to take Wang Hui to a table and sit down.

Ran Tang enthusiastically helped Wang Hui wipe the table, poured another cup of tea, and then left a pot of tea to Wang Hui, and was about to leave but was stopped by Wang Hui: "Little brother, don't worry, I still have something to ask you." ”

Ran Tang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted and showed a smile: "What does this guest officer want to inquire about the little one?"

An inn that often receives Jianghu guests, and the shopkeeper to the running hall will not be simpler than the people in the ordinary inn, they see more and deal with more. Although there is no shortage of chicks, the one in front of him is obviously not, and seeing that his expression changes so quickly, he should have encountered such a situation more than once.

Jianghu guests, raise their heads in their hands and be rich. So they don't care about spending a lot of money, and they don't care about giving a huge reward after getting satisfactory information. If there are seniors in the sect, some Jianghu guests may also be slightly restrained, although the risk of mixing rivers and lakes is high and the reward is great, but a sect has to raise a lot of people, and the elders of the sect will definitely not let their disciples spend money indiscriminately. But a casual traveler doesn't have so many concerns.

In the eyes of the little brother who ran the hall, Wang Hui is obviously a casual traveler.

"I'll ask you about two things, the first is, how do you get from here to the Leshan Giant Buddha?" Wang Hui took out the money bag and gently put it on the table, but despite this, the table made a certain noise because of the weight of the bag.

When the runner heard that Wang Hui's question was so simple, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little happy to see Wang Hui's movements: "Uncle, you just inquire about this matter! That's simple! You eat and drink well, and the little one will help you run an errand later, and go to the post station to help you do something!"

"Okay, okay? How long will it take to get there?"

Wang Hui thought about it, although it would take a little longer to follow the route of the post station, or take a carriage or a boat, but it didn't seem to be that little time, but he thought that it would be too troublesome to spend a few days, and asked for time.

"The Leshan Giant Buddha is in Shuzhong, from our Tianshan Mountain, it will take at least five days. The little brother thought for a moment and replied.

"Five days. It's been a bit long. Well, let's see if you can find me a good guide and let him take me. ”

At least five days across two provinces is actually a short time, but Wang Hui is still too much. As soon as the little brother heard it, he understood that Wang Hui's "light work" was extremely fast.

"Okay, I'll find you a Jianghu person from Shuchuan and let him show you the way. The little brother who ran the hall was extremely quick to respond, and immediately gave a new reply.

So Wang Hui took out a piece of gold from his money bag and handed it to the little brother: "Then I will entrust this matter to you." Not enough to ask me again. ”

Gold is precious, but Wang Hui expects that in the current rivers and lakes, there should be no one who can travel thousands of miles a day like himself, they must ride horses, and horses have always been precious in ancient times, and a good horse costs at least 100 gold.

The little brother took it with a smile: "I don't know what else the uncle has to entrust to the little brother?"

"I want to know, where is Huojiazhuang? Wang Hui said.

Huojiazhuang, the former home of the protagonist Bu Jingyun, the owner Huo Butian is Bu Jingyun's father-in-law. In the original work, Huojiazhuang was slaughtered by the killers sent by the Xiongba because he refused to be recruited by the Xiongba, and Bu Jingyun was saved by the passing martial arts myth Nameless at that time.

Huo Butian, the owner of Huojiazhuang, is upright and upright, and he is a well-known man, Wang Hui asked this to see if he could catch up with Huojiazhuang to avoid this catastrophe.

"Hehe, uncle underestimated me! If you want to talk about Huojiazhuang on the rivers and lakes, then there is only Huojiazhuang who has mastered the 'Huo Family Swordsmanship'. Huojiazhuang is famous, how could I not know!" The little brother replied with a smile.

I'm really sorry, but I only sent it today. Let's take yesterday's thanksgiving along with a few days.
