Chapter 13 In the city of Gusu
When you arrive in Gusu, it is very close to Guobei County.
The system map shows that Guobei County is under the rule of Wucheng, and the reason why it is called Wucheng is because Wucheng is located in the place where the two stars of Chang Gung and Wu Nu compete for China.
And from Gusu to Wucheng, it is more than 600 miles, which is still a straight line distance, and Qin Yuelou can't figure out how to go, so he is going to buy a horse or a donkey in Gusu as a substitute.
And after escorting Mu Xiaohuan and Mu Changong father and son to Gusu, Mu Xiaohuan said that he wanted to invite Qin Yuelou to have a good meal.
Qin Yuelou is naturally a guest, after all, this is also the hometown of Mu Xiaohuan and Mu Chan Palace.
There is still more than a month to go before he arrives in Guobei, and he can also stumble on the road more.
So the Mu family father and son returned home first, put down the luggage, and then went to the money bank to deposit most of the silver tickets.
The functions of the Dajing Bank are very different from those of the bank in the previous life, and it is also under the jurisdiction of the Dajing Imperial Court, a state-owned bank, and there are no private enterprises, so the name of all the money banks is called Dajing Bank, but some people don't like to store money in the bank.
After all, Qianzhuang is important, and it is also equipped with a lot of security forces, Qin Yuelou also looks novel, after all, although Shixiang City also has Qianzhuang, but there is no luxury like Gusu.
Besides, these guards are actually security guards with force, and these Qianzhuang guards are all full of muscles, and they know at a glance that they are practicing their families.
Qin Yuelou also knew that there were martial arts monks in Dajing, but these martial arts monks should only be regarded as martial artists, and their fist and foot kung fu were quite good, because Qin Yuelou could faintly see that the muscles in different areas of them were more developed than ordinary people.
It is normal for people who are fit to be bodybuilders and practice martial arts to have different body postures, because people who practice martial arts do not deliberately practice the muscles of other parts of the body.
In his previous life, Qin Yuelou had selectively practiced Wing Chun according to online teaching, that was when he was nineteen years old, he worked hard every day, and he punched the boxing with Japanese characters, but it was abandoned later.
The Japanese character punching in Wing Chun is mainly based on the strength of the forearm, so in the previous life, Qin Yuelou's forearm muscles were more developed than ordinary people.
Therefore, Qin Yuelou saw that the muscle mass in different areas of these bank guards was also normal, some people had muscular legs, which was leg skills at first glance, and some people had developed upper arms and back muscles, which was boxing.
Some people have thick calluses in their palms, either with palm skills or skilled weapons.
"Although they are martial arts practitioners, most of them are based on physical bodies." Qin Yuelou thought in his heart, "No wonder we need to break the limits of the human body, after all, such a body may be able to resist when facing demons that are not in the stream, but it is useless when facing those powerful points." ”
Then, he took advantage of the time when the Mu family father and son were saving money to observe the most powerful person in the money village.
It was a blindfolded old man, hunched over, with a sword on his back, and a thick beard, he was the most powerful man in the whole bank, and his short hunchbacked body was full of unliberated compressed muscles, and even his bones were different from ordinary people.
The old man sat in the corner, surrounded by people who didn't pay attention to the old man, as if he had been deliberately ignored.
It was a kind of physical alienation, and Qin Yuelou's eyes lit up.
This kind of physical alienation was obviously not caused by Qin Yuelou.
"That's right, isn't it also a kind of alienation for a martial artist to break the limits of the physical body? This old man must be an existence that has broken his own limits. Qin Yuelou thought in his heart, so he paid a little more attention to the old man.
Although the old man was blindfolded, his senses were extremely keen, he "looked" at Qin Yuelou, and his hand unconsciously touched the sword behind his back.
It is estimated that Qin Yuelou is regarded as a person with bad intentions.
But Qin Yuelou also had some ideas in his heart.
"The martial spirit pill is an important elixir for martial artists to break the limits of the physical body, so I will have to do some research on the martial arts of this realm in the future, maybe this is a way to improve the Dao of Life."
Thinking about it here, the father and son of the Mu family over there also saved the money, and then the group left the money village.
The blindfolded old man lowered his hand from his sword.
Continued to sit in the corner.
Then the Mu family father and son took Qin Yuelou to the restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and a pot of wine.
Squirrel mandarin fish, snail shrimp, eel paste, spiced sauce meat, Gusu braised pork, steamed hairy crab, etc.
Although Gusu is not close to the sea, it is rich in fresh water resources, so aquatic products like these are abundant, so aquatic ingredients are used more in the cuisine.
This squirrel mandarin fish is made of carp out of the bone, the fish meat is engraved, seasoned and slightly marinated, dragged on the egg yolk paste, fried in a hot oil pan and matured, poured on the boiling sweet and sour marinade,
Because the shape resembles a squirrel, it is also called squirrel mandarin fish, the egg yolk paste and fish meat are fried crispy, and the sweet and sour marinade is sour and sweet, which is extremely appetizing.
Qin Yuelou clipped a few more chopsticks, he himself also likes sweet, sour and spicy food, and monkeys are also omnivores, so it's not too much to eat some meat.
As for the braised pork, it is also his favorite, in his previous life, his grandmother often made braised pork, but the fat in the braised pork in the home-cooked dish is too fatty and a little greasy, so he likes to eat lean meat.
The braised pork made by the chef of the restaurant is fat but not greasy.
Mu Chan Palace has been in a state of mind for the past few days, as if he was still thinking about Bai Qiulian, Qin Yuelou glanced at the father and son.
"Mu Xiaohuan must have something that didn't tell me." Qin Yuelou was sure in his heart.
He had the heart to ask Mu Xiaohuan some questions, but because of Mu Changong's presence, Qin Yuelou gave up.
Still, he could ask some other questions.
"Speaking of which, this is your hometown, but I don't understand some questions, even if your business fails, you won't leave your hometown and take Mu Gongzi to leave Gusu and go to Jinlan." Qin Yuelou asked Mu Xiaohuan.
"Well, if you fail in business, won't you be ridiculed for staying in your hometown for no reason? What's more, there are no relatives at home. Mu Xiaohuan laughed at himself, "So I left my hometown with Toad Palace, the purpose was to make a comeback after a comeback, but I didn't expect that I didn't make a comeback... It's thanks to you that I can still have the face to come back. ”
"What about your wife?" Qin Yuelou asked Mu Xiaohuan.
"After my wife gave birth to the Toad Palace, the old disease recurred and passed away, and she didn't have the intention of continuing the strings, she just wanted to drag and bring the Toad Palace bigger, and in a blink of an eye, the Toad Palace was so big." Speaking of his wife, Mu Xiaohuan's expression was very sad.
Qin Yuelou used it appropriately, and he knew it, perceiving Mu Xiaohuan's thoughts.
Qin Yuelou could understand the indissoluble sorrow in Mu Xiaohuan's heart, but there was a strong panic in this sorrow.
Qin Yuelou intensified her efforts and continued to sense Mu Xiaohuan's thoughts.
There was only one sentence in Mu Xiaohuan's heart.
"Xiya, are you okay now? Toad Palace has grown up, and we are back again, are you okay in the water? ”
It's a bit of a trick in there.
Qin Yuelou closed his mind, and he knew that it would hurt his mind if he used it too much.
It just so happened that the oil eel paste was also on the table, and the oil on the plate was still making noise after the eel paste was on the table.
"I see." Qin Yuelou pretended to nod and sandwiched another piece of eel paste.
It's a little out of his taste, so he ate a piece and didn't eat it.
Gusu cuisine is still sweeter, and there are very few chili peppers when cooking, and Qin Yuelou also feels that it is not refreshing to eat.
As far as Qin Yuelou is concerned, the eel section is to add chili peppers to be delicious.
After they were full of wine and food, the three of them also said goodbye to each other, Qin Yuelou went to the market to find a substitute, and the Mu family father and son returned home.
He didn't sell it in Gusu's hometown, but he didn't come back for more than ten years, and he was very dilapidated.
Mu Xiaohuan looked at Mu Chan Palace and touched Mu Chan Palace's head.
"You've grown up, Toad."
"Dad, you are... True? Mu Changong also made a joke.
"Stinky boy." Mu Xiaohuan scolded with a smile, "I'll go out to find an old friend to have some wine, and you won't go out at home." ”
"You're going to get someone to drink as soon as you get back?" Mu Chan Gong felt strange.
"Well, I still need to talk to them about something, you can clean up a little at home, do you want to bring you something when you come back?" Mu Xiaohuan tidied up his clothes and asked Mu Changong.
"No need, just go." Mu Changong untied his luggage, "I'll be fine at home alone, anyway, I came here like this when I was a child." ”
Listening to Mu Changong's words, Mu Xiaohuan sighed and went out.
Only Mu Toad Palace was left at home.
He cleaned up and heard a knock on the door.
So he went out and opened the door.
Standing in the doorway was the girl he had been thinking about.
"Girl! You! What are you doing here? Come in, come in! Mu Chan Gong was overjoyed and invited the girl, "Oh yes, look at my brain, I haven't asked you what your name is, my name is Mu Chan Gong, what about you?" ”
The girl didn't speak, she still looked delicate, her eyes flowed, and she secretly sent autumn waves.
Toad Palace asked her a few words, but the girl just smiled and didn't answer, just looked at Mu Toad Palace.
She pointed to her mouth and shook her hand, as if to imply that she could not speak, but she took out a handkerchief.
She lowered her head and bit her fingers, Mu Changong was distressed, and hurriedly grabbed the girl's hand.
"What do you mean, girl?" Mu Changong hurriedly asked the girl, wanting to bandage the girl's wound, but the girl waved her hand and wrote on the handkerchief.
"Haggard but ashamed."
Mu Changong knew that the girl was in love with him, and the girl wrote on the handkerchief again.
"My name is Bai Qiulian."
"White girl, can I marry you?" Mu Chan Gong asked Bai Qiulian.
Bai Qiulian's little face was half red, and when Mu Changong saw it, he held Bai Qiulian's hand and bandaged her carefully.
He only felt that Bai Qiulian's shy appearance was extremely cute, and he also felt that Bai Qiulian's body had a strange and charming beauty.
Mu Changong was bandaging and reciting verses at the same time.
"The fragrance is ten acres long, and the sister-in-law is greedy for lotus picking.
When I came to get the water at night, the bow of the boat was wet, and I took off my red skirt and wrapped the duck.
The boat moves the lake in the autumn, and the young letter boat flow is greedy.
Throwing lotus seeds across the water for no reason, being known for a long time is ashamed. ”
Bai Qiulian looked at Mu Chan Gong shyly, but he grabbed Mu Chan Gong's hand and pulled him into the room.
Mu Chan Palace's strength was no match for this Bai Qiu Lian, so he was pulled in by Bai Qiu Lian......
