Lin Xi was slightly dumbfounded. Because the traffic in this world was too different from the world he was familiar with before, it was very inconvenient to rush from one place to another, so Jiang Xiaoyi's sudden arrival made him truly experience the happiness of having friends from afar.

In addition, black sturgeon and iron-headed pike are rare, so he deliberately sold them without saying anything, wanting Jiang Xiaoyi to recognize these two fish species that are cherished and beneficial to cultivators, but what he didn't expect was that compared with when he went out before, not only did the two large stone tanks on the riverside platform in front of the small building become four large stone tanks, not only two more large stone tanks were counted, but there was also one more person.

A fat man wearing a green silk short-sleeved silk shirt with the Heng Rongchang logo on his left chest.

This fat man is at least one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds, and he is very afraid of heat, although it is evening at this moment, and the riverside is already very shady, but he is still wiping his sweat with a small white square scarf.

Seeing Lin Xi walk in at a glance, this fat man with a kind face suddenly showed joy, stood up from the stone bench, arched his hand, bowed to Lin Xi, and said, "Lord Lin, below is Ma Hongjun, the third shopkeeper of Heng Rongchang." ”

"Is it the horse shopkeeper who is known as the iron calculation?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and returned a salute, this Heng Rongchang's three shopkeepers are also very famous along the Xijiang River, and they are very good at settling accounts, it is said that as long as Heng Rongchang goes through his business, there will be no mistakes in the slightest, and a copper will be calculated clearly.

And it is said that the most powerful thing about this iron horse shopkeeper is that as long as you sit in front of a shop for a few days, you don't need to look at the account book at all, as long as you look at the usual incoming, outgoing goods and passenger flow, you can calculate the profit and loss of this shop for a year, and it is absolutely not far from ten.

"Iron calculations, that's just a joke shouted out. Ma Hongjun wiped his sweat again, and said a little embarrassed: "I came to talk to Lord Lin today, which is a special explanation from our big shopkeeper." ”

Lin Xi was slightly stunned again, "Is there anything wrong with your big shopkeeper looking for me?"

"Who is this?" Ma Hongjun glanced at Jiang Xiaoyi behind Lin Xi and hesitated slightly.

"He's one of my best friends, not an outsider. Lin Xi felt that the expression of the third shopkeeper of Heng Rongchang was a little strange, and after glancing at him, he said, "What's the matter, but it's okay to say it." ”

Ma Hongjun wiped his sweat with a square towel again, and said: "Actually, it's not like anything, our big shopkeeper just wants me to come to the adult to explain a few words, so that the adult will not have some misunderstanding of our Heng Rongchang." Jiang Yanguan was able to appear here that day, and our big shopkeeper specially sent someone to say it. ”

Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi couldn't help but glance at each other.

It was indeed a bit abrupt for an official of Jiang Rui's level to appear in Donggang Town, and everyone, including Lin Xi, naturally felt strange afterwards, but they didn't expect that it was Heng Rongchang's role behind it.

"Our big shopkeeper specially asked me to talk about this matter, not to show merit in front of Lord Lin. Ma Hongjun looked at Lin Xi, who was a little puzzled, and explained seriously: "Our big shopkeeper wants Lord Lin to understand our attitude towards Heng Rongchang... Our Heng Rongchang's Song Guan Belt was indeed angry at the beginning because of the adult's arrest of the boat, and he was not very humble to the adult, but what the adult did made us Heng Rongchang very admired. We Heng Rongchang also hope that under the rule of Lord Lin, this Xijiang will be more clear. ”

Lin Xi pondered for a while, bowed slightly to Ma Hongjun to thank him, and said seriously: "In fact, I was a little dissatisfied with your Heng Rongchang's attitude at first, because I knew that you were capable... But your attitude is a little arrogant, and you are obviously capable, but you want to stay out of the matter, which for me, is not to report, let people go unpunished, irritating, but later I found out that this is related to the military, I can already understand your attitude, after all, you are prosperous, and the military wants to deliberately find you trouble, it is too easy. ”

After a slight pause, Lin Xi looked at Ma Hongjun and said: "In this way, please ask the shopkeeper to help me bring a message to the shopkeeper, I naturally have something wrong in this matter, the shopkeeper can try his best to help me regardless of his previous suspicions, I naturally can't have any unfavorable thoughts about Heng Rongchang." And I'm a person who hates trouble, and I will never go to trouble unless someone comes to my door. ”

"Lord Lin's personality, presumably the people in the surrounding towns of Donggang can see it very clearly. ”

Ma Hongjun laughed, nodded at the four stone jars on the other side, and said, "Our big shopkeeper knows that Lord Lin is not an ordinary martial artist, and there should be some special methods, so he brought some things that ordinary people can't use to adults." He knew that the adults would not take them for nothing, so he came at the market price, and if the adults were interested, they would buy them for ten taels of silver, and if they were not interested, I would release them. ”

"Oh, yes. As if remembering something, Ma Hongjun patted his forehead and said very apologetically: "The two big stone tanks were sent by the people above the fish market, and the three iron-headed pike in them were also sent by them. ”

"Ironhead pike?"

As soon as she heard these four words, Jiang Xiaoyi was taken aback.

"I have five of them, but I didn't expect Xu Sheng and them to really catch three more. Seeing Jiang Xiaoyi's reaction, Lin Xi knew that his friend must have also known a lot about the iron-headed pike, and after saying this with a smile, he walked curiously towards the big stone jar that Ma Hongjun ordered.

Listening to Ma Hongjun's words, he knew that what Heng Rongchang's big shopkeeper sent to him must also be a great supplement for cultivators.

Jiang Xiaoyi was also very curious, and she didn't go to see what the iron-headed pike that stirred up the sound of water in the tank was like, and followed Lin Xi's side, first looking at the things in this big tank.

Another old river group?

Lin Xi was stunned at first sight, this huge water tank was quietly lying on a grinding disc-shaped thing, and the surface was covered with algae and other things. Jiang Xiaoyi thought it was an old Jiang group at first glance, but at the second glance, Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi immediately saw the difference between this Jiang group and the ordinary old Jiang group.

The skirt of the back shell of this Lao Jiang group is extraordinarily long, and it is several times longer than the skirt on the shell of the ordinary Lao Jiang group.

"This is the Yunmeng Skirt Lao Jiang Tuan?!"

Suddenly, this name popped up in Lin Xi's mind, and he couldn't help but blurt it out in shock.

Ma Hongjun wiped his sweat, smiled, and said, "Lord Lin really has eyesight, and he can see it at once." ”

Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The old river group refers to the old turtle in the river with a very long year.

There are also many types of soft-shelled turtles in the river, and one of them is called Yunmeng soft-shelled turtle.

This turtle has the longest skirt and is also the most complementary.

However, this turtle has been recorded in some local chronicles around it, and it has been extinct decades ago, and it is difficult to find it.

The reason for the extinction is also very well documented, because when this turtle breeds, it has to follow an almost fixed route to the beach on some islands to lay eggs and hatch, and the hatching period is more than ten days, and it is also guarded on the island for more than ten days.

Of course, this is very easy for ordinary fishermen to catch, and over time, they will not be able to catch a single one.

If this kind of turtle grows into an old river group, for cultivators, the effect of the great tonic is several times higher than that of ordinary old river groups, and the effect is higher than the "black gold seed" of the black sturgeon. Moreover, this kind of turtle grows slower than the average old turtle, and the old Jiang group in the current tank is even bigger than Lin Xi's previous one, I am afraid that it has been at least two hundred years old.

"Horse shopkeeper. Lin Xi was surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ma Hongjun, and asked, "Isn't the Yunmeng Skirt Old Jiang Group in this river already extinct, and how did you get this one?"

Ma Hongjun gave a thumbs up again, made a gesture to recognize the goods, and explained: "This old turtle was unintentionally caught by hunters in the swamps in the Dragon Snake Mountain Range, and when it was sold in a border town, it was bought back by our people from Heng Rongchang. In this ordinary river, this kind of thing is indeed extinct, and it is impossible to see it at all. ”

"Thank you so much. ”

Lin Xi knew that this Yunmeng skirt Lao Jiang Tuan would definitely be of great benefit to his cultivation, so he saluted Ma Hongjun again to express his sincere gratitude.

"Since Lord Lin has friends, I won't bother Lord Lin. Ma Hongjun didn't talk nonsense, and after bowing, he said goodbye to Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi.

Lin Xi took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Ma Hongjun, the two of them paid one and received the other, both of them felt embarrassed and funny, and they couldn't help laughing.

"It turns out that this is the iron-headed pike, which is really as fierce as the record says. ”

"This fish is so black and long, and so large, it seems to be the black sturgeon in the record. Lin Xi, I can't imagine that you have saved so many of these rare things. However, there are so many students in our Qingluan Academy, I am afraid that you are the only one who can solve that case so quickly. ”

Jiang Xiaoyi looked at the big fish in the rest of the tanks, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Lin Xi's gaze also stayed on the package he was carrying again, "What are you carrying?"

"Look at it. Jiang Xiaoyi also stopped selling customs, smiled, unwrapped the package on her body, and opened it.

A mass of white pompom-like things appeared in Lin Xi's sight.

"Snow Bird's Nest!"

Lin Xi was also taken aback for a moment, recognized what this thing was, and couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Jiang Xiaoyi and asked, "How can you have so many snow bird's nests?"

"I didn't give it to me because the people loved me, it was just because it was a coincidence. ”

Jiang Xiaoyi explained with a smile.

It turns out that this snow bird's nest is also a very rare kind of bird's nest, and it also has a great tonic effect on practitioners. This bird's nest is very unique, it is an unknown white herb in the mountains when building bird's nests, and this bird's nest is very clean, even if its own feathers fall into the nest, it will be pulled out. Therefore, this bird's nest is as white as snow, as long as it is soaked in warm water a few times, it can be used for consumption, and it is much less hands and feet than ordinary bird's nest.

Jiang Xiaoyi chose the Huigu Town Engineering Division, which was supervised by the Imperial Engineering Office. His official position was to manage the daily mining of some mines, the refining of some ores, and the casting of blades. There is a Huishan in the territory of Huigu Town, and there is a tin mine in it. It was only when he was inspecting the tin mine that he stumbled upon a few cliffs that seemed to have traces of snow swallows, and when he managed to climb down with ropes, he found that there were not only bird's nests built by snow swallows now, but also many bird's nests left by old swallows in some mountain cracks.

In this way, he bundled such a large bag sufficiently, at least more than 30 catties.

......

The snow bird's nest was filled with red ginseng and brown sugar as per the recipe, and a large pot was stewed in a crockpot.

Lin Xi cut two iron-headed dogfish, accompanied by some sauces and fruit and vegetable side dishes, fish fillets and sticky reddish snow bird's nest, salty and sweet, facing the river view outside the window, the two of them ate very happily.

Sometimes happiness is made even happier by friendship and sharing.

"By the way, Lin Xi, when you saw me today, you said that you were just talking about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive, what's the matter?" The two of them drank a large jar of snow bird's nest, Jiang Xiaoyi touched her somewhat round belly, and was a little worried about whether she could eat the remaining fish fillets, and suddenly thought of this, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Xi and asked.

"There is a thousand presidents named Wei Xianwu, who is the one who brought troops to Donggang Town and wanted to escort me back. Although he was blocked by Jiang Yanguan, I always felt that he would not give up. Lin Xi looked at Jiang Xiaoyi and replied: "He wanted to cover up the murder in front of me before, but he couldn't hide it, and then he simply stopped hiding it, it should be that among the assassins killed by me, someone is extremely important to him and has a deep friendship." And he must be demoted for this case, so I think he will soon be impatient and will deal with me. I alone may not be his opponent, so I thought of you and Bian Linghan, and wanted you to come over, and then we thought of a way to deal with him. ”

Jiang Xiaoyi instantly understood Lin Xi's thoughts, "Lin Xi, you want to lure the snake out of the hole... Let's see if he can really do it?"

Lin Xi nodded.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of thunder on the river in the distance, and the river wind began to be a little more stuffy and a little more wet.

"It's been a lot of rain this year. ”

Lin Xi knew that it was going to rain, and when he thought of the benefits of cultivating in the rain, and felt the heat rising in his body, he smiled slightly.

At this moment, a middle-aged farmer wearing a pair of straw sandals was heading towards the small riverside building where he was.

At this moment, there was a fat man with a kind smile on his face, who opened his umbrella early and walked into Donggang Town.

After habitually wiping his hands on his sleeve, the chubby man with a kind smile muttered in satisfaction, "It's better to get older... The heavier this rainstorm is now, the better the weather will be when you get up tomorrow morning. ”

It turns out that I'm really a foodie.,In such a tired situation.,Actually subconsciously wrote a lot of food.,It's really a bad taste.,But just let me write a half chapter to satisfy myself.,It's not so bad fun in the future.。 I'll be able to get a good night's sleep tomorrow and then I should be back in good shape)
