Huo Erniang continued: "There are dozens of kinds of melons produced in Hami, green skin and green flesh, crisp as pears, sweet as honey, the best taste, and they are of the highest quality. There are also round and flat like hats, and the taste of white flesh is slightly worse. The kind of red and yellow melon has the lightest taste, and it is the kind that can stay for a long time as mentioned in the poem. We call it winter melon. All other kinds of food must be eaten when plucked, otherwise it will spoil. Therefore, the merchants are not all melons. ”

Zhu Bai was also aroused and asked: "How to collect." ”

Huo Erniang said: "If it is a small amount, as long as the ceramic jar or jar is cleaned and dried, baked and cooled, and then the melon skin is intact and not damaged and not fully ripe or overripe melons are wrapped and gently put into the jar and jar, can not be squeezed, subject to full, and then seal the jar or can mouth with a thick cotton cloth and put it in a cool place." If the merchant keeps it for sale and collects it in large quantities, it is necessary to spread dry sand or hay on the ground in a cool, ventilated and dry cellar, and stack the melons with the top facing up for 2~3 layers. Or build a shelf and put the melons in boxes (baskets) on the shelves. Check it often, pick out the rotten melons and throw them away, and wait until February to leave five or six percent of the good ones. ”

As he was talking, the guy brought up beef ramen or something.

Zhang Yu took a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks, and wanted to try the poison first before giving it to Zhu Bai to eat.

Zhu Bai came over directly and said, "I'm starving to death." ”

Zhang Yu instantly understood what Zhu Bai meant: This place is trustworthy, and there is no need to do these emotionally hurtful actions.

Huo Erniang smiled: "I like this young master, I won't delay your meal." ”

Zhu Bai was already snoring and began to eat noodles: "It's delicious, I haven't eaten such authentic beef ramen for a long time." ”

Zhang Yu and the others secretly rolled their eyes: Bragging, you say that you are second, and no one dares to say first. You haven't been to Mobei, and you may not have eaten beef ramen.

Zhu Bai sighed while eating: In the past, the ramen restaurant behind the Agricultural University cost a lot of money for a big bowl, which was the best choice for a poor student like him. Now that the mountains and seas are delicacies every day, I really want to take this bite.

After eating and drinking, he gathered in Zhu Bai's room for a small meeting every day.

Zhang Yu: "Your Highness, didn't you say that you wanted to see the Wuna, why did you start the business of Hetian Yu and cantaloupe here again." ”

Zhu Bai: "Do two things together, don't delay." ”

The others didn't seem to understand, and they didn't seem to be able to ask anything, so they could only forget it.

Zhu Bai took a good bath, and finally stopped looking like he was gray-faced. The next day, I slept until three o'clock in the morning and woke up.

This is the first day after the departure, I slept so comfortably and didn't have to rush, I was so happy.

Zhu Bai got up and washed.

Fugui asked, "What does Your Highness want to do today?" ”

Zhu Bai said: "Go to the bazaar. The king wants to see what new and good things are here. ”

To put it bluntly, it is to investigate the source of goods.

Zhang Yu and Mao Xiang said together: "Your Highness, it's better not to go." ”

Zhang Yu: "In the inn, the scene is basically controllable. ”

Mao Xiang: "There are many people in the bazaar, and this is a place where there are three things, all of them are outlaws and young people. Once there is a commotion, fifty people are not enough to fight. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Your Highness thinks about the ...... that time when he was almost taken away by the victims."

Zhu Bai pursed his lips and tilted his head: "It's to take precautions." ”

Mao Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay, I still know that I am afraid.

Zhu Bai said: "Then dress modestly." Don't bring so many people. Anyway, if those people want to steal or rob, they will also run to the rich. ”

Mao Xiang's heart was galloping: I'll go, kid, do you understand our words?

Fugui smiled and said: "The two adults can rest assured, the villain always follows His Highness, and whoever dares to move will not be forgiven." ”

Zhu Bai said: "Even if there is wealth and wealth, what are you afraid of?" Besides, this king can also protect himself. ”

I don't dare to say it, he still has no problem with one dozen or three now.

Then he went straight downstairs.

Huo Erniang saw that Zhu Bai was going out, and advised: "There are inevitably thieves in the market, if you lose something, don't chase it, come back and tell me." ”

Zhu Bai said, "Got it." ”

Fugui wanted to ask the reason, but was pulled out by Zhu Bai.

Zhang Yu and the others were busy ordering ten of the best, and the others stayed in the inn to rest.

If you hear Zhu Bai's whistle, then rush over.

Zhu Bai is right about one thing: the bigger the pomp, the more people will be remembered.

Therefore, they did not dare to approach, so they could only follow Zhu Bai and Fugui from a distance.

Zhu Bai suddenly stopped in front of an old man's stall.

The basket made of red willow contained a strange thing: reddish-brown sticks, long and short.

The long one is two feet, and the short one is half a foot long. The thick ones are as thick as the forearms, but the thin ones are only the thickness of the wrists.

The key is that the shape is more special, what is it like......

Like the rich and the less rich thing.

Fugui, who was looking around, also stared at that thing and asked, "...... is this?"

The old man grinned, showed his missing teeth, and said: "This is called Suoyang, also known as the elixir, men eat to nourish the kidneys and nourish yang, solidify sperm and stop retention, and women eat to cure infertility and moisten the intestines." You are too young to eat. ”

Fugui blushed: "Why can't I eat it, I have to eat it." How to sell? ”

The old man said, "The big one is one penny, and the small one is two." This thing is afraid of iron, and it will turn black when touched by something like a kitchen knife, so it can only be dug out with a wooden shovel. ”

Fugui wanted to pay for it, thought about it and asked: "How can there be such a magical thing in the world, I'm afraid you didn't bully me when I was young and coax me." ”

The old man snorted: "Do you know what this Guazhou City is called?" It's called Suoyang City. Suoyang here is the best in the world. You'll also be able to eat the best fresh Suoyang here, and if you go elsewhere, you'll have to do it. This thing can be mined in spring and autumn, but it is best harvested in spring when Suoyang has just been unearthed or is about to top out of the sand. Autumn is not so watery and drug-plenum. ”

Zhu Bai heard it: "Eh, this is good, this is good." Is there anything to do? ”

The old man took out a large wicker basket from the back: "Yes, this is what I did." It can be used to make tea, wine, porridge or soup. ”

The "sticks" inside the basket are yellow-brown and not as beautiful as the fresh ones at all.

Zhang Yu saw Zhu Bai, they stayed for a long time and didn't move, and leaned over to look.

When the old man saw Zhang Yu and Mao Xiang, he immediately became more enthusiastic: "Eh, these two masters, come and see the treasures of our Suoyang City." This one will be saved by eating and keeping your essence and blood, and there will be a herd of children. ”

Zhang Yu, an honest man, heard this sentence coldly, and his face turned red.

The key is still in front of Zhu Bai, he is really going to die.

Mao Xiang turned his head in embarrassment.

Zhu Bai pointed to the basket and looked at Zhang Yu desperately.

What is this kid buying this for?

But if you don't buy it for him, he'll have to think of something else later.
