Chapter 668: Law Money
After that, there were no twists and turns, the river flowed slowly, and the breeze echoed in my ears.
The further south you go, the more pleasant the climate becomes.
There are plenty of boats around.
For example, river ships, Beijing ships, state ships, etc., all have certain routes.
A few days later, the shore pier.
In the distance, I saw a crowd of people on the other side.
"You're disembarking!"
The boatman shouted loudly.
Everyone had already seen the scene on the shore, and all of them had anticipation on their faces.
The more than ten days of sailing finally came to an end.
The big ship docked, and everyone got off the boat one after another.
Li Ping'an bowed his hand to the boatman's house at the dock, which was regarded as a farewell.
Li Maocai said: "Sir, if you first come to Nantong, if you don't really want to go anywhere, you might as well go with us?" ”
Li Ping'an hesitated, "It's okay." ”
Nantong.
Nantong is a coastal area with developed commerce and trade.
Its prosperity can be compared with the capital.
However, in recent years, the labor tax has been excessively heavy, coupled with the coastal bandits.
As a result, the three provinces of Nantong once declined.
However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is not something that can be compared with any province.
While walking, Li Maocai introduced the situation in Nantong to Li Ping'an.
On the way, I ate another meal of local food in Nantong, which is customary.
Li Maocai's hometown is Nantong, and now he has been transferred back to his hometown, which is naturally very comfortable.
Then, he met Li Maocai, the new prefect's official.
Li Ping'an politely rejected Li Maocai's invitation to continue walking, and then parted.
Walking on the crowded streets, it seems that the time is not early.
It's time to find a place to sleep first, and what to do tomorrow.
Think about it tomorrow.
After the little girl and the innkeeper fought hard about the price, they finally stayed at this inn at a great discount.
The little girl turned into a cat and stood at the window.
Raise your head with your nostrils facing the sky.
Sniff fiercely.
Looks like I smell rats.
Before, there were no mice in the few places I went, which made the cat fairy sad.
So, the cat fairy turned his head and said to Li Ping'an and Lao Niu.
"Don't bring the fairy's share to dinner today."
"Okay."
Before leaving, the cat couldn't help but admonish.
"Rest early."
"Hmm."
The cat jumped off.
After she left, Li Ping'an and Lao Niu left the inn.
Get ready to find a good place to have dinner.
Anyway, I still have some money left.
For a while, there is no need to worry about the problem of silver.
The evening breeze and flowing water brought slight waves, and the rare sound of singing and dancing could be heard in the distance.
Li Ping'an and Lao Niu walked unhurriedly.
After more than half an hour, I found a restaurant that everyone praised for its deliciousness.
A faint aroma of food seems to indicate that the restaurant lives up to its name.
It's just that the old cow is not allowed in.
Li Ping'an packed his things, wrapped lotus leaves, and turned around to leave.
Suddenly, he smelled a burst of wine on the counter, and he hooked out the roundworms in his stomach.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this wine?"
The shopkeeper dialed the abacus and called out without responding immediately.
Instead, he waited for a while before raising his head.
It's like taking some time out of your busy schedule.
"What kind of wine do you want?"
"That's it."
Li Ping'an pointed to the most conspicuous jar of wine in the middle.
The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, this wine is not for sale." ”
"Oh? Why do you put it out if you don't sell it? ”
The shopkeeper raised his head and did not hide it, "This is specially provided to the big families of the Zhu Sect and the official families."
Ordinary people, even if they have money, it is difficult to buy it. ”
Li Ping'an was stunned, sniffing the aroma of wine.
Just one sentence: "It's a pity." ”
He hesitated for a moment, and took out five magic coins from his sleeve that were strung together with red threads.
This thing is called the Five Emperor Money, which refers to the copper coin with a round square hole.
Bronze coins are minted according to the "outer circle and inner square" and "the unity of heaven and man".
Take it like heaven and law, gather the qi of the five directions and five elements,
The connotation of yin and yang five elements, representing the power of the five directions and five elements.
It can resist evil spirits and is an auspicious item.
Li Ping'an briefly introduced the origin and purpose of this money.
Hang it in the house, both for decoration and for peace.
It can also be carried with you to ward off evil spirits.
Those who commit Tai Sui can be used to ward off evil spirits and ward off disasters........
This money was refined and played by the old cow when he had nothing to do.
However, because I was worried about wasting money, I only refined this string.
The shopkeeper glanced at Li Ping'an.
Seeing his delicate appearance, he was dressed in a cyan shirt.
Carrying an erhu on his back and dressed neatly.
It's not like a beggar or a deliberate trickster.
The shopkeeper picked up the money and didn't take it too seriously.
In his opinion, it was just five copper coins.
So he said, "How about a glass of wine?" Let's make friends. ”
"Yes."
Li Ping'an didn't say anything, just a cup.
It's not worth it, and now he wants to taste it, and it's worth it for any amount of money.
The shopkeeper thought so too.
If you are in a good mood today, it should be regarded as a good deed.
Where can I drink a glass of this wine for five cents?
I'm afraid it's about the same.
So he took down the trough and was about to pour the wine.
Li Ping'an took out a cup by himself and motioned for him to pour it into the cup.
The shopkeeper poured a glass of wine.
Li Ping'an has tasted countless fine wines, but this wine does have a unique flavor.
With a delicate hint of sweetness.
After drinking again, I felt that my throat was smooth and my mouth was full of sweetness.
The intuition is like a meal with crumbs, and the aftertaste is full of fragrance.
Comfortable in drinking, comfortable after drinking, light drunk and low luxury, just right.
"Not bad! Good wine,"
Li Ping'an praised.
The shopkeeper said: "It's a good bar, and it can be enjoyed by dignitaries and dignitaries on weekdays." ”
Li Ping'an nodded, "Thank you." ”
Only then did the shopkeeper notice that the other party was drinking, and only drank half a cup, so he said, "Why do you want to go back and taste this half cup?" ”
"This half cup is reserved for my old cow."
"Huh?"
The shopkeeper was stunned.
Li Ping'an thanked him and walked out with his things.
"Hehehe!"
The shopkeeper just thought the man was funny.
looked at the five copper coins left by the other party, and didn't care, and put them aside casually.
"Oh, Master Zhang!"
Hear a familiar voice. The shopkeeper hurriedly put down the abacus and greeted him.
The person who came was the housekeeper of the Liu family in Nantong.
The Liu family has a history of no more than 300 years in Nantong, and it has deep roots.
Sensei said that the officials of Nantong Mansion were treated with courtesy. "The shopkeeper is not harmed? I've been in good health lately. Steward Zhang smiled.
"Thanks to you, I am in good spirits, the wine has already been prepared for you, so I asked people to pretend for Zhang Ye."
Steward Zhang sat down, and the people in his own store carried out a jar of fine wine.
Steward Zhang said to his subordinates: "You guys also go to help." ”
The shopkeeper took a jar of wine and poured it for Steward Zhang.
There were also some side dishes served there.
Steward Zhang smiled, "The shopkeeper is polite." ”
"It should."
Steward Zhang drank the wine down, and the two exchanged a few words.
At this time, Steward Zhang glanced at it.
Glancing at the five magic coins on the counter, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Old shopkeeper, you, you.... Stuff..."
