Jingzhou is rich in fish since ancient times, and fish cakes have a long history as the eight famous dishes of Jingzhou, and are said to have been created by the concubines of Emperor Shun, and are widely spread in Jingchu.

As the core city of Jingzhou, Jiangling City is also known as the "Fish Town", so it has become a place where merchants from all over the world gather, at this moment in this lively street, a gorgeously dressed man is leading a girl wearing a hat veil to walk slowly through the street, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Lian Jirou felt hot all over her body because of the temperature from Li Yunxing's palm, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, she peeked at the back of the person walking in front, and a shy look flashed in her eyes. Although the other party couldn't see her expression, she could feel his presence and the throbbing sensation in her chest.

She whispered, "Childe, can you let go of my ......"

"What if I let go and my daughter-in-law runs away? Who compensates me for such an eye-catching daughter-in-law? Li Yunxing laughed.

Sure enough, compared to His Royal Highness the Prince, she is simply a little witch! She blushed her cheeks, bit her lip, and muttered, "Who wants to marry you?" ”

Li Yunxing turned around, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you already decided to find another lover?" ”

Lian Jirou was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no." ”

Li Yunxing smiled with satisfaction, and then grabbed her hand again.

The eyes of the people around him were either curious, envious, or even jealous, Li Yunxing regarded this as his worship and accepted it gladly.

This is also the first time he has left the capital, Jiangling City is very different from the capital, they do not have as many forbidden army guards in the capital, and the overall folk customs are much simpler, especially in a crowded scene like now, he has never seen it, he likes it tightly, and he can't wait for time to stop in this second.

Lian Jirou was held by him, and could only follow him step by step, sweet and apprehensive in her heart.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the crowd, and suddenly there was a crowd of people.

"I heard that the head of the Lu family went to the small iron shop in the west of the city to gamble on knives again!"

"Oh, this is a big fight, let's go and see."

Many people showed excitement on their faces, Gangneung City was not as big as the capital, and many things were spread to everyone in the city.

To say that this Lu family is the first family in Jiangling City, it is rumored that they are the descendants of Lu Ban, who have superb iron-striking skills, especially good at smelting knives. It is said that an iron axe weighs a thousand catties, splitting stones like cutting mud, indestructible, and is the foundation of the Lu family's survival. Even the government used to find the Lu family to customize the blades and armor, and the silver money earned by the Lu family every year was enough for them to squander for several lifetimes, so the Lu family has always walked sideways in the city.

Later, in order to control the output of weapons and avoid accidents such as private casting of weapons and the self-respect of soldiers, the government issued a decree, such as the Lu family, which specializes in iron-based families, to create agricultural tools, such as nail rakes, plows, hoes and other tools, and at the same time strictly control the disciples in the clan, and do not allow private weapons. The people of the Lu family did not dare to disobey the law, and they were also worried that they would make mistakes, so they acted in accordance with the law.

Lu Tieru, the head of the Lu family, is a fourth-generation disciple, and the people say that they are rich for no more than three generations, and when they reach the fourth generation of Lu Tieru, although the Lu family's reputation is not as good as before, a Lu family kitchen knife is still very valuable, plus the blacksmith and carpentry skills left by their ancestors are enough for the Lu family to gain a foothold in Jiangling City.

But this pattern was broken by a small iron shop that had been open in the west of the city for several years.

The small blacksmith itself didn't even have a name, and the blacksmith was an octogenarian who usually just helped to repair some utensils.

is old, inefficient, and mediocre in technology, and earns about 100 yuan a month to make a living.

But recently, the Lu family's life has suddenly been difficult, because the ironware they made is selling less and less, and in the end, it can't be sold.

The Lu family didn't understand what was going on at first, and thought that the disaster had affected everyone to stop farming, but later learned that this nameless iron shop in the west of the city had recruited a talented apprentice.

said that he was an apprentice, and his skills were a few points higher than that of his master.

The kitchen knife that came out was tough and sharp, extremely sharp, chopping wood and cutting wheat or something, it was definitely a knife in two, and even the branches and grass and blades would not hurt.

The key is that the price is half lower than that of the Lu family, and with such a number one person, it naturally steals the attention of other guests, and no one is willing to patronize the Lu family's business.

Hearing such an interesting incident, Li Yunxing and Lian Jirou also followed the flow of people.

Li Yunxing secretly felt that there should be some fate between him and this small iron shop.

"Hey! Place your bet! This is the second time that the Lu family has asked the old man to write a war book, who will you press to win this time? Come to me to bet, buy and leave, Tong Su is not bullied! ”

As soon as he approached the iron shop, he heard a loud shout.

Li Yunxing raised his eyes and saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray-brown short coat and cloth shoes sitting on the steps of the store, with a cloth spread on the ground, with Lu characters on one side and an anonymous blank on the other.

There were seven or eight people standing around, all talking and pointing fingers.

"The Lu family has won, this is the second time, what else are you betting?" A young man pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "The owner of this small iron shop is really stupid, and he is actually on the same bar with the Lu family, is the Lu family a vegetarian?" Their family's iron-striking skills are among the most famous in the entire Wu Dynasty, where is it their turn to get such a poor sour blacksmith to compete with them. ”

Another person next to him persuaded: "You can't say that, the old blacksmith has good craftsmanship and exquisite skills, so he can make money after all, right?" ”

The young man sneered: "What is good technology, it's not that the Lu family didn't move really last time!" It is said that this time it was the Lu family who personally went back to concoct the Lu family's famous knife according to the ancient method, and it was more powerful than before, it was the ancestral secret recipe of the Lu family! As soon as the Lu family's knife comes out, this old blacksmith will definitely lose. ”

The others were stunned when they heard this, and they put the money in the position of the word "Lu".

Although the young man didn't bet, he seemed to be a fanatical fan of the Lu family, and Li Yunxing felt that it was really powerful.

However, Li Yunxing knows very little about this Lu family, after all, this kind of trivial matter of purchasing weapons is generally not so detailed that the emperor needs to intervene in person.

After listening to the whole process, Li Yunxing threw his folding fan to the position of the unknown without hesitation.

The dealer who opened the market saw a folding fan thrown in front of him, and couldn't help but be upset, and glanced up, "Hey, which of you has a broken fan, take it away from Uncle Ben!" Uncle Ben has always only accepted real money and silver, so don't fool me with these things! ”
