Chapter 217: The Liquor Is Too Strong
Generally, after passing the township examination and having the status of a lifter, he is actually qualified to be a local official, but looking at Jiang Yong's dress and speaking demeanor, it doesn't look like he has been immersed in officialdom.
Jiang Yong explained that there are no official vacancies in the local area for the time being, and it is precisely because of this that he wants to go to Beijing to participate in next year's spring festival in order to seek a better future.
The scholar Jiang Yong spoke more than Shen Qian, so later along the way, most of the people who were talking were Jiang Yong, and Shen Guo agreed.
Jiang Yong said that he came from a small place called Bezhi City, and went to Hazy City to take a ride into Beijing from this place.
The scholar Jiang Yongshu was angry, but he seemed to be very curious about the appearance of the rivers and lakes, so he asked a lot about the rivers and lakes, and Shen Guo also answered them one by one.
After a short conversation, Shen Jing could also feel Jiang Yong's temperament, and his personality was not bad, so slowly Shen Jing was willing to chat with him more.
The companionship along the way is probably another kind of fate!
Scholars don't drink, Jiang Yong insisted.
And whenever he saw Shen Jing drinking, he felt very free.
Shen Guo told Jiang Yong that the name of the wine in the gourd was Meizhang, and Jiang Yong nodded and said that the artistic conception was very good.
Later, the two walked together like this.
During this time, the two passed by a small river, and a stone bridge spanned both sides of the river.
At that time, the sun was not big, and there was a pair of young ladies walking on the stone bridge, two of them dressed gorgeously, and the woman holding an umbrella, and the two of them standing under the umbrella.
The two walked slowly from the other side of the bridge, and Shen Jing and Jiang Yong happened to walk from this side.
When the pair of young ladies saw Shen Kuang and Jiang Yong walking across the stone bridge, they inevitably took a few more looks, why did the two people who were dressed so differently walk together.
Dressed in a green shirt and dressed in white, one holding a long sword, one carrying a bookbox, a chivalrous man, and a scholar, so different.
The girl's family will inevitably feel shy when she meets her lover and meets other people, so she just looks at it and doesn't dare to look at it more.
Shen Kuang and Jiang Yong naturally didn't disturb the purity of the two, and passed by the two without disturbing each other.
The pair of young ladies stopped when they walked to the middle of the stone bridge, and the two of them held on to the railing, enjoying the scenery on the river.
Shen Kuang and Jiang Yong, who were leading the horses, came down from the other side of the bridge, and the pair of young lady Gongzi's servants were also waiting here.
After getting off the bridge, Shen Jing couldn't help but look back curiously, at that time, there happened to be a boatman under the stone bridge who was slowly walking by, a pair of light and shadow, three lives.
Jiang Yong saw that Shen Jing had stopped, so he also glanced back, but at that time, the figures had already passed, and they were in a hurry.
After that, the two walked through villages and towns, through mountains and forests, until twilight, when the hazy city appeared in their sight.
Hazy City is similar to Plum Fog City, both are small towns.
However, unlike Meiwu City, Hazy City is located on the main road that connects east and west, so there are many business travelers and it is very lively.
Shen Guo and Jiang Yong finally parted at the city gate, Jiang Yong had asked Shen Kuang's name, but Shen Kuang still used Jiang Kuan's pseudonym.
Jiang Yong thought that he and Shen Guo were from their own family at first, but later after knowing that it was Jiang Jiang, he smiled and almost made a fuss.
Hazy city, hazy night.
After entering the city, Shen Jing inquired about passers-by, and then went straight to the best inn in the city.
Because there are many business travelers on weekdays, there are many restaurants and inns in the hazy city, Qinlou Chu Hall and other places, among which Juyuelou is the most famous one.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The guest room in Juyue Building costs fifteen taels of silver a night, and Shen is not short of money now, so he is a little extravagant.
After entering the city, Shen Guo changed his appearance and put on the hat again.
There are a lot of guests in Juyue Building, so the little people who are received inside have developed a pair of fiery eyes, and they will know whether they will be big customers at a glance at the guests from a distance.
Among the vast number of guests, they like to receive those Jianghu people the most, because although most of the Jianghu people are low-key, some guests are generous, as long as they are happy to serve and reward money.
So when the little guy in front of the door saw Shen Jing who was slowly approaching, he greeted him with a smile from a long distance.
After simply telling the little guy his requirements, the little guy also gave a detailed introduction to the price of the room in the inn, and finally Shen Guo asked for a place number room, fifteen taels of silver a night, which is not low.
It's just that what discourages the little guy is that the guests don't mean to give the reward.
The atmosphere of merchants in the hazy city is very strong, compared to the atmosphere of ordinary life, and the people here live at a fast pace, busy earning money and supporting their families.
Shen Kuang didn't eat in the inn at night, and after putting down his burden and picking up his sword, Shen Kuang left the inn alone.
Even though it's night, walking around the city is lit up.
In addition to the places to eat, there are also many places to drink flower wine along the way.
Whether it was in Meiwu City, Qiuluo City, or later Kangzhu City, I had never seen so many forests standing together.
Like the inn tavern, the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the hazy city is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the high status will generally choose to go to those lake painting boats, and the girls inside are not only outstanding, but also very good in various services.
And the girls in those buildings also seem to love Jianghu people very much, Shen Guan inevitably listens to the bold teasing of the girl's family downstairs every time he passes by these places, and some say it more explicitly, and the girl's family doesn't care about it.
Shen Guo didn't care about this, and after a few turns, he finally stopped at a tavern.
I chose this place because there are not many people in the tavern at this time, and secondly, because the food inside is so fragrant that I can smell it when I walk on the street.
The restaurant's signature dish is shochu with beef sauce, which is the restaurant's secret recipe and is where the flavor comes from.
The shopkeeper was a hot-tempered woman, not very old, about thirty years old, and had already scolded several people before.
Because the proprietress said that the soju wine was heavy, Shen Qian didn't order much.
After that, Shen Guo asked the proprietress to fill the gourd with wine, and then ate dinner alone.
When you eat in a tavern, someone will gossip.
And the most talked about here is also the rivers and lakes, because the rivers and lakes are often the most drunk.
When talking about the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable to talk about the earth-shattering events in Kang Zhucheng, no matter which thing or person is worth being taken out and talked about alone.
There's nothing more interesting than listening to people talk about themselves, and most of them are compliments.
Shen Jing sat alone in the corner, listening to the talk of those people, every time they talked about the tension, Shen Jing would listen carefully with their ears pricked up, which was interesting.
After a short time, the proprietress returned with a gourd full of wine.
When she arrived at Shen Kuang's table, the proprietress laughed softly: "The wine that Shaoxia wants has a light taste, so it is named Sentimental, and the strong wine has a good name to eliminate sorrow, and it comes in pairs." Most of the guests who come and go like to drink spirits, so there is a lot of sentimental wine left, which has been aged for many years and does not taste good

Difference. ”
After Shen Guan thanked him when he heard this, he slowly took the wine bottle.
Some guests around saw such a gentle and soft-spoken proprietress and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Boss, this little young man is weak and can't withstand your destruction." ”
The men who came and went spoke straightforwardly and with a bit of meat language, which meant that even Shen Jing understood it at once.
The proprietress didn't get angry when she heard this, but just turned her head and scolded: "Fuck off your mother's eggs, my mother, I will be such an inconsiderate person?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the coaxing became louder.
The proprietress didn't say anything more, but glanced at Shen Jing apologetically: "I hope the young man doesn't mind." ”
Shen Jing smiled: "It's okay. ”
Fang Cai Shen didn't look at the proprietress carefully, but now when she looks closely, she can see that although the proprietress is dressed plainly, she has a good appearance and is not in bad shape.
Most of the old customers in the tavern are actually coming for the proprietress of the rivers and lakes, and the hostess is the best food than this?
The proprietress Luo Chengqi has been guarding the tavern for many years and has seen many people.
What kind of heart the guest is and what the picture is, many times she can see it at a glance.
The green-shirted guest was a new face, probably not long after arriving in Hazy City.
The young man also looked at her a few times, but there was no lust in his eyes, it seemed that he was just curious.
And the figure of the young man in the green shirt couldn't help but remind him of Li Chengren, the most uploaded Nanke sword god in the rivers and lakes, who also appeared in Kangzhu City some time ago, and it seemed that he was dressed like this.
So later, there were more people dressed like this on the rivers and lakes. There are those who want to be abducted and deceived by this, and there are those who really like this dress, Luo Chengqi feels that the young man belongs to the latter.
The aroma of the sauced beef attracted Shen Jing, and then he couldn't help but feast.
The liquor named to eliminate sorrow was really not ordinarily strong, even if Shen Guo drank for a while, he felt that he couldn't drink too much, so he probably just drank two bowls and then didn't drink it again.
The young man who was impressed by the proprietress naturally attracted the attention of the people around him, and seeing that he couldn't drink strong wine, someone laughed and said: "Little brother, this wine is fierce, don't get drunk." ”
After the man finished speaking, several people around him burst into laughter.
Seeing this, Luo Chengqi also looked at Shen Qian, and saw that there was indeed a lot of liquor left.
The man who opened his mouth to laugh was actually just the simplest ridicule, and his words were neither contemptuous nor contemptuous, so Shen Kuang only smiled when he heard this: "Thank you brother Tai for reminding me, it is still more suitable to drink this sorrowful, and the taste is lighter." ”
Hearing that Shen Guo did not defend himself, several people around him and the proprietress Luo Chengqi suddenly felt a lot better about Shen Qian.
Nowadays, such a real young person is rare.
Time in a tavern is always better than in a big restaurant, especially when you're alone.
The guests around him were also real people, so he didn't say anything more about Shen Qian's drinking after that.
The proprietress also brought some peanuts to apologize for this, but Shen Kuangwan refused to apologize but accepted the peanuts, just a joke on a trivial matter, he didn't care.
There are good places everywhere, and the more you walk, the more you will compare, such as this tavern, Shen Guo likes it very much.
After eating a plate of beef with sauce, Shen was still unsatisfied and ordered another plate.
Shen Kuang sat in the tavern for more than an hour before leaving, and the time was just right for the willows at night.
