One hundred and forty-nine The place where the mirror is held
Gou Shao heard the monk say that he was going to persuade the industry, thinking that this person who used the monk's identity as a cover to hold the treasure was to get two necessary utensils to hold the treasure, and he was happy in his heart, and he wanted to go to the most prosperous and lively persuasion field in Tianjin Wei to have a good time. I thought to myself, just dipping the light of the monk and going to the persuasion industry for a walk.
Unexpectedly, the monk followed and said, to Xuanyuan Mirror to show his spirits, the dog is puzzled, thinking, persuading the industry field in addition to shops, that is, cinemas, cinemas, playgrounds, what kind of power can Xuanyuan Mirror show, and then thought, is it possible to persuade the industry field, is the secret entrance to the abacus city? Immediately opened his mouth to ask.
Monk Dao shook his head and said:
"Use the Xuanyuan mirror to stand at the highest point of Tianjin Wei, hold the mirror high, borrow the moonlight, shine all over Tianjin Wei, the mirror illumination, find the place where the black gas soars, is the place where the black Jiao guarding the mirror core is, and find the black Jiao to find the mirror core of the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror!"
The monk said that the highest point of Tianjin Wei is the Quanye field that has just been completed and opened at that time, to say that the high-rise buildings of Tianjin Wei are numerous, but at the end of the twenties of the last century, the tallest building of Tianjin Wei is to count, which is located at the intersection of Xu Street and Lizhan Street in the French Concession at that time.
Xuanyuan Mirror is now in the hands of Gou Shao, and he secretly remembers in his heart that he has another plan to use the mirror.
Gou Shao and the monk were burned by the Shicai flame, and there were a lot of blisters on their bodies, and their clothes were also burned to pieces. It's not a matter of being in the wilderness here, but in the middle of the night, two bare-eyed old men go to the city, and it doesn't matter if they are treated as asking for food. If you are mistaken for a thief who is exposed on the street, and then you are caught by the patrol police, you will inevitably be locked up for a few days with some money.
According to what the monk said, there is also a time limit to find Abacus City, and even if you get the mirror core at that time, you will inevitably have to wait for ten more years, and you can't wait that long if you don't have a dog.
The two walked by the river in the dark, and when they walked near Dongyuzhuang, they saw almost everyone. The dog rarely saw a few clothes hanging on the rope of the housekeeper, apparently the family forgot to dry the clothes and forgot to collect them, so they hurriedly stole the clothes and wore them on the body with the monk to cover their bodies.
The two hurried back to the city, and the sooner the monk went to the gate of the Lingwang Temple tomorrow morning, to find the person who asked for food called Hanako in exchange for the dragon rope. After nightfall, he and Gou Shao met at the gate of Quanyechang, so that Xuanyuan Mirror could find the location of the black Jiao. The two broke up and left separately.
Gou Shao returned to the small courtyard of the dilapidated house, lying on the kang tossing and turning, thinking about how to deceive the worm head nail in the monk's hand, and then used Xuanyuan Jin to find the mirror core, and went to find the abacus city alone. After a long time, he fell asleep in a daze.
He dreamed all night, one moment was hit by the flying stiff, and the other time he let the Yuliu Sanren grab his legs and open his mouth to bite, and then somehow, he found the abacus city, got countless treasures in the city and became very rich, and after a while, he was already drinking and enjoying himself in the Tianbao class with his powder head in his arms. In short, this night was a strange dream, and I slept until it was past noon, and then I gradually woke up in a daze.
Don't look at the dog Shao when he was the eldest young master in the past, he lived a life with money, and it seemed that he was stupid and had a lot of money. But in fact, at that time, he just didn't care about money, he didn't make money and just spent money, so he naturally didn't take money as a thing. In fact, he is not stupid, and he has been messing around on the streets for the past few years, and he also knows that people are sinister.
This time, the treasure is all carried by the monk, and I originally had a golden bell with you, but now the bell is lost, so I made a fake impersonation, and I have no chips in my hand. If he is the first to find the core of the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror, he will not be afraid that the monk will leave him alone to hunt for treasures.
As for what the monk said about the black Jiao guard, he originally took it as a story, and he didn't believe it very much, until he saw the fire coffin flying stiff last night, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, afraid that if the black Jiao was true, he would lose his life if he failed to hunt for treasure.
But in last night's dream, he was very rich and happy, and he woke up even more stunned. At this time, the greed in his heart suddenly rose, and he didn't care about the truth of the black Jiao, but he was worried about the sky and the dark, so he took the Xuanyuan mirror and rushed to the roof of the business field to find the black Jiao, and he got the mirror core alone.
He changed into a neat dress, which he did when he had the money on hand, because the style and materials were average, so he didn't wear it twice. Now I want to go to Quanyechang, which is a lively place in the French Concession, and I can't avoid being looked down upon if I wear shabby. He wants to go to the top of the building to hunt for treasures with the Xuanyuan Mirror, if he doesn't clean it up quickly, I'm afraid that the open-air café on the roof won't be able to go up, and the action will arouse suspicion.
Although he was neat, he really didn't have a few big children in his pocket, and he didn't eat any dinner, and seeing that it was almost afternoon, he could only go out and think about it again, and find someone to split it.
As soon as Gou Shao went out, he heard the three neighbors scolding his apprentice at the door of his house. These three masters are a curium porcelain maker who makes pots and bowls, and there is a little apprentice named Shengzi by his side. The three masters couldn't stop counting the number of children, and the dog was curious, so he listened to it.
It turned out that Shengzi went to buy Songhua eggs for the master to drink, and the scallion eggs were the preserved eggs in the south. He bought a few cheap big pine flowers at a stall outside the west gate. There was a big pine egg on the stall, and I cut it and put it to make a show, but the wind blew up dust, and the cut pine egg was stained with a lot of dust and grass sticks, so no one wanted to cut it.
Songhua eggs are made of quicklime with salt and water, mixed with firewood and grass ash into a paste, wrapped on the duck eggs, and finally sprinkled with wheat bran to slowly dry for a month, using the heat of quicklime and water to burn the duck eggs into Songhua eggs. Therefore, in the past, the pine flower eggs were wrapped in a thick layer of firewood and grass plaster.
Shengzi saw that the Songhua eggs were cheap, and the cut one looked good, so he spent money to buy a few big ones. There is another fake connoisseur who buys pine flowers next to him, and he also helps the son choose, pick it up one by one and weigh the weight, to see which one is divided into two weights, and which sugar heart is burned thoroughly.
Unexpectedly, Shengzi bought the Songhua eggs home, picked up the pasted firewood and grass plaster, and found that what Songhua eggs were inside, and they turned out to be a few big potatoes! Only then did I know that I had fallen into the vendor's position, and I wanted to go back to find it, but the people were not long stalls, and they had already closed the stall and ran away after deceiving people, so where to find it.
The third master scolded the son for being greedy and cheap, and only listened to him:
"Don't be greedy if you're cheap! Everything has a heart, and the bad guy doesn't have words written on his face! If you don't have long eyes, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later! ”
Although these words are a reprimand for giving birth to a son, but in the ears of the dog, the first two sentences seem to be said to himself. His heart trembled slightly, thinking that after he had been busy running forward in the past two days, he had deceived Second Young Master Cai's mirror, and went with the monk to dig out the zombies in the old tomb, wasn't it all because he coveted the wealth of the first generation in the city!
At this time, Gou Shao's heart suddenly became clear, but the idea of treasure hunting faded. It's just that he looked down and saw the Xuanyuan mirror in his hand, and remembered that when he was rich, he always had the stars around him holding the moon, but after he was down, he ate the last meal and didn't eat the next meal, and fell from the sky to the ground, this kind of suffering can be known to a few people, he doesn't want us to live this kind of poor life with three meals, but when it comes to making money, one has no skills and two has no strength, and his limbs are not diligent and his grains are not divided.
Thinking of this, greed suddenly surged in my heart for a moment, and I didn't pay attention to what the three neighbors said. Walked straight towards the Quanye field.
On the way, the dog bought a set of baked cakes and steamed buns with a few big pockets, ate them indiscriminately, and hurried to the Quanye field. At this time, it is sinking in the west, and it will not be long before it is dusk. On Lizhan Street in the French Concession, bustling people and cars flow endlessly, and the tall and majestic buildings of Quanye are erected here.
The market was built in the late twenties. The founder Xingqiao followed his father to strike iron since he was a child, and later worked as an apprentice in the German coal mine, because he was smart and studious, learned some German, and was reused by the Germans, became the general comprador of North China, and later invested in real estate and Prince Qing Zaizhen co-founded the Quanye Field.
Because the location of this business is in the French Concession, the French require that it must be called a "French shopping mall" before it can be opened. However, Xingxingqiao was not subject to the obscenity of the French, and insisted on hanging out the plaque of "Tianjin Quanyechang" to open. The words of Tianjin persuasion are still written by Mr. Hua Shikui, who was one of the four famous calligraphers of Tianjin at that time, Hua, Meng, Yan and Zhaozhong.
Patriotic businessmen are happy to bridge, the shopping mall is named Quanyechang, the word persuasion, which is intended to revitalize the industry, and there are four Tibetan poems in the shopping mall.
Persuade my compatriots
Diligence
Business is well developed
The field is renewed
The meaning of these four sentences is that I hope that in that era when there are many great powers and the country is weak, we will persuade all our compatriots to work hard to revitalize the industry and make the country rich and the people strong as soon as possible. It can be said that the name Quanyechang was quite meaningful in that special era.
The field is a French-style six-story building, because we Chinese respect the nine-story building, so it is claimed to be a nine-story building, and there is also an elevator in the building. The first, second and third floors are shops, operating daily necessities, silk and satin cloth, the four treasures of the study, and even antique books, etc., and now there are a lot of antique utensils in the Quanyechang Museum, including calligraphy and painting, seal stones, walnuts, snuff bottles, etc.
At that time, Quanyechang still sold refrigerators, of course, not refrigerators. Household refrigerators were officially produced abroad in 1925, but they were not safe at that time, and they were very rare on the domestic market. I said that the refrigerator does not need to be electrified, most of them are wooden shells, and the inside is an iron inner liner, and there are ice cubes stored in the ice box below, which can be refrigerated and kept fresh by putting in physical fruits and vegetables and closing the lid.
There is an old-fashioned refrigerator made in Japan with a metal buckle on the door, which is very similar to our current refrigerators. It's just that at that time, there was no refrigerator with electricity and refrigeration, and most of the ice in this refrigerator was bought from the ice cellar. Tianjin Wei has been there for a long time, and dozens of ice cellars, large and small, have sold ice. The name of Bingjiao Hutong has been handed down from ancient times to the present. I bought ice cubes and put them in the refrigerator to chill fresh food, sour plum soup and the like.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors of Quanye Field are theaters, tea houses, playgrounds, etc., which are the eight heavens we mentioned earlier. At that time, it was a place to eat, drink, play and have fun.
Dog Shao came to the open-air café on the top floor of Quanyechang, at this time the weather had not yet warmed up, and there were few people on the top floor. He leaned against the railing and stared at the sunset, and after a long time, he smoked a cigarette and smoked nothing. He searched for a longer root among the cigarette butts on the ground.
It wasn't until the cigarette fart was hot and even the cigarette butts were finished that I saw Jincheng caged in the twilight, the western ocean was red in the distance, and the sparkling sea and river shone with blood red.
Soon the sun sets, the lights come on, and the sky changes from red to light blue velvet. The dog rarely saw no one around, so he quietly climbed up to the tower of Quanyechang. At this time, Tianjin Wei exquisite in full view, in the dim dots of lights and lights, Jinmen water system is numerous, potholes and ponds are countless, plus several rivers meander and flow, reflecting the lights on both sides of the riverbank, quite a water town style.
The dog is less ambitious and open-minded, although the cool breeze hits, it has an indescribable comfort. He stood on a high place, raised the Xuanyuan mirror with both hands, and shone into the city.
At this time, but at this time, the moon has not risen to the middle of the sky, and the Xuanyuan mirror cannot reflect the moonlight at all. The dog held the mirror and looked around, turning a few directions, but he couldn't see anything in the city. After being disappointed, I thought that the reason why the monk came to use the Xuanyuan Mirror after night must be because when the moon was empty, he could find the black Jiao by the moonlight, and he couldn't help but sigh in frustration at the moment.
Suddenly! The Xuanyuan mirror in his hand made a violent shock, he held the mirror unsteadily, almost couldn't hold it, and dropped the mirror in the air, and at the same time, several cold laughter suddenly sounded around him, which made people shudder!
