Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 129 Re-enter Wancheng
The beginning of summer is an important solar term that marks the growth of all things in the peak season. After this day, the sunshine increases, the temperature gradually rises, the thunderstorms increase, and the crops enter the stage of vigorous growth.
After yesterday's night of thunderstorms, the air was filled with the smell of earth. Today, it's another sunny day.
Just after the morning meal, Wu Yong took the gifts prepared yesterday and rode the carriage driven by Li Zhong to Wancheng.
Along the way, the carriage galloped, Wu Yong opened the curtain, and all kinds of scenery flew by in front of him, which made him think of some things that had happened recently.
Today is Wednesday, May 8, 170, and the lunar calendar is the tenth day of the fourth month of the Gengxu year, and it has been more than seventy days since he traveled to this era.
Recalling the previous experiences, Wu Yong was also full of emotion. If it weren't for the clothes He Lian cut for him, he would have thought it was a dream.
In his previous life, he had been working hard for his dreams, but in the end, he ended up dead and empty.
This made him pass through the rebirth, and he has not had any plan, and it is a kind of passable mentality. Although he knew that this world was about to be a troubled era, he didn't have that sense of urgency, and he only read books and planted fields every day, and he didn't have the ambition that a traverser should have.
"If you let future generations know that you are a time-traveler, but you only want to get by every day, I don't know if you will be scolded." Wu Yong couldn't help but think maliciously.
He was fascinated, and before he knew it, the carriage came to the boundary of Wancheng, and there was still a distance between them, and Wu Yong heard all kinds of shouts.
"Tofu, the hot tofu handed down from the Taixu Wonderland, take a bite and let you have an endless aftertaste; Eat two bites and let you linger; Eat three bites and you will live a long life. ”
"Twist flowers, crispy twist flowers just out of the pot, the food handed down from the Taixu Wonderland, absolutely authentic, take it back to honor the elders, no matter how far you go, you are not afraid of being bad."
"Pork head meat, cooked with spices worth 10,000 gold, delicious and inexpensive, come and try it. Walk by, don't miss it, the way to eat in Taixu Wonderland is not much, first come, first served, keep you and don't regret it. ”…… Wu Yong looked at the big bazaar in front of him, and really suspected that he had come to the wrong place, looking left and right, and he didn't come up with the answer he wanted in his heart.
Just as he was in a daze, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Little Brother Wu, are you here too?" Wu Yong turned around and found that it was He Jin, and there were many other young people around him at this time.
I saw He Jin wave his hand and instructed the young people on the left and right: "You go and occupy a position to sell fairy gluttony, I will meet an acquaintance, go over and say hello, and I will go to you later." Everyone walked away with a smile, leaving Wu Yong to talk to He Jin alone.
In fact, these teenagers also know Wu Yong, but they are not familiar with it.
"Big brother, wasn't this a homeless camp before? How did it become a bazaar? Wu Yong asked with some curiosity.
He Jin laughed and said: "The homeless camp has long been moved to other places, you see that they are all selling food and eating too much, but it is really a blessing to you." ”
"Don't you know, the merchants from other places come to the boundary of our Wancheng to eat and eat."
"Thanks to those homeless people, they spread this food to all over the world, which attracted merchants from all over the world."
"The stone road under our feet was also built by these homeless people, I really admire the prophetic insight of Lord Taishou." He Jin has been very nourishing recently, and naturally explained a few more words to Wu Yong's question.
At this time, a young man came to He Jin's side and said very excitedly: "He Jin, you come with me quickly, there are Hu people who want to buy the secret recipe of our gods' gluttony." He Jin glared at him and replied angrily: "Tell him, don't sell it!" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated: "But he said that he was willing to give a hundred taels of gold!" ”
"One hundred taels of gold!" He Jin exclaimed in surprise, and then urged: "Take me to see it." After speaking, he didn't have time to say hello to Wu Yong, so he left in a hurry.
Wu Yong looked at this lively bazaar, and he was also very curious, so he asked Li Zhong to enter the city and wait for him at the door of the first inn in the city gate, while he went to the bazaar.
Li Zhong has no objection to this, although he is the servant of the Zhuo family, he is more optimistic about Wu Yong's future, so every time Wu Yong asks him to catch a car, he will not show any dissatisfaction.
After the two separated, Wu Yong wandered around the market with the flow of people, sometimes looking greedy, and paying for some food.
But after eating, I couldn't help but comment a few words,
"It's okay, but it's a little less salt." Hearing Wu Yong say this, the stall owner suddenly exploded, and sneered: "You kid, what do you know, I was the first batch to learn from Immortal Monarch Wu Yong to make Taixu food." You go to Wancheng to inquire, this green onion cake, my Lao Xu is the best. Wu Yong smiled at him, didn't argue with him, and turned to leave here.
The stall owner looked at the back of him leaving, and always felt a little familiar, and suddenly remembered, isn't this Wu Yong in Fuwang, he has seen him a few times in Fuwang, and he can't help but feel a little regretful.
The people on the side, seeing him like this, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old Xu, what's wrong with you?" A child, what do you care about him! Lao Xu glared at him,
"I'm afraid he'll have trouble with me, do you know who he is?"
"Who is it?" The man was also curious. Lao Xu sighed and said: "He is Wu Yong in Fuwang, the one who passed down the Taixu to eat!" ”
"Ah," the man exclaimed, and then gloated, "You have a big deal to do, and if he thinks of you to ridicule him in the future, you don't want to sell green onion cakes in Wancheng." Lao Xu was even more depressed, and even forgot to deal with the green onion cake when it was burned.
At this time, someone couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded him: "Don't worry, Lao Xu, Wu Yong is an immortal monarch in the sky, how can he be as knowledgeable as a little person like me, if he really wants to embarrass you, he should have taught you a lesson just now." After hearing this, Lao Xu glanced at this person gratefully, and then glared at the gloating person, he knew that this guy did it on purpose, and it was only because the two of them were selling green onion cakes that he deliberately hit himself.
Here, Wu Yong turned around for a while, and then lost interest, although there were many people, there was really nothing he looked at.
was about to go to Li Zhong to rendezvous, but he saw two unexpected people in the crowd, so he quickly stepped forward to say hello.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Hua, why are you here?" It turned out that Zhang Ji and Hua Yang were also buying food in this market, and they were very surprised to see Wu Yong.
Zhang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then smiled enthusiastically: "Haha, Brother Wu Family, you are here too, I haven't seen you for many days, but I miss my brother very much." Hua Yang complained to Wu Yong: "You are really good at hiding, since you invited us that day, you have not seen you, but these days have kept me and Brother Zhang busy enough." ”
"Why did Brother Hua Shi say this? The kid hasn't been idle lately. Wu Yong shouted, and then began to ask the reason.
"I'll tell you the truth, this time the teacher mobilized the people to diagnose and treat the homeless, but it took us a lot of energy." Hua Yang complained bitterly and said the reason.
It turned out that since there were more and more displaced people coming to Wancheng, they were not allowed to be idle every day, not only going out early and returning late, but even eating meals, because they were busy treating the displaced people, they often ate a few bites after it was cold, just to save time.
This is all trivial, the point is that among the new arrivals, there are often people with epidemics, and if they are not careful, they will be at risk of being infected.
"Don't you know, the most dangerous time is that a group of homeless people got the epidemic, fortunately we found it in time, and there are those leather gloves and masks to protect it, so it didn't spread, otherwise this Wancheng doesn't know what it has become now." Saying that, Hua Yang still had some lingering palpitations,
"If it weren't for Elder Zhang and my uncle, it is estimated that many people would have died." As the three of them spoke, they came to the camp two kilometers away, but surprisingly, a group of homeless people were confronting the officers and soldiers guarding at this time.
"What are you doing here, we have come thousands of miles to learn to eat too much, not to be coolies?" In the crowd of displaced people, someone shouted loudly.
They traveled thousands of miles from their hometown, endured hardships, and experienced countless hardships before they came here.
Isn't it said well, teach to eat too empty, and then Taishou recommends going to live in other cities, and then he will be supported by the local people?
Now, why do you want to confine them first, and then do coolies before they are fed! Could it be that this is a deception, tricking them into coming to the place and then selling them to the powerful as slaves?
All of a sudden, the newcomers exploded, and their souls scattered like headless flies.
It wasn't until the spears in the soldiers' hands shone at them that they were honest.
"Silence!" One of the leaders of the officers and soldiers shouted loudly, and then explained: "This is all for your good, and you don't want to spread the disease on your body to others!" As long as your body is fine after the diagnosis and treatment, you will be left to stay in the future. The homeless people gradually quieted down, and nervously divided into two groups, men and women, lined up, and slowly walked towards the two large tents.
Who let them leave their homeland now, and they can only be honest and obedient. Wu Yong looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Zhang Ji patted Wu Yong on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be in a daze, this kind of thing has often happened recently, everyone is not surprised, you just get used to it." Wu Yong followed them to check the situation in the camp of the homeless camp, because he still had to visit the Taishou Mansion, so he said goodbye to the two and rushed to meet Li Zhong.
However, when he was queuing up to enter the city, he heard a few Hu people talking.
"Ayub, what's your plan? I spent a hundred taels of gold just now, and I only got this secret method of boiling mutton. This has already cost us a third of our savings, and you still have to go and buy these spices with the rest of your savings, and we will lose a lot of money when we go back. ”
"Sobil, your insight is too short-sighted! When we buy these spices and go back to the feast, the delicious mutton that comes out is said to be food from Allah, and if you think about it, the tribal leaders will not all come and beg us to make them food, and the gold, silver and jewels will not be available to us. ”
"Haha, Ayub, we chose you as the leader this time, and it was a wise choice. Don't worry, we will take you as the leader in the future. ”
