The old man also heard Hongsheng's words, and felt that since he had received other people's things, it would be a little reward to talk about the situation in Longyuan City, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, but we won't eat the meal, these, well, the fritters are enough for us to eat." ”

The little boy grabbed a fritter and handed it to the old man and said, "Grandpa, you can eat it too, this fritter is really delicious, the best thing I have ever tasted." ”

The old man smiled with relief and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat, eat more if it's delicious." The old man led the little boy to Ouyang Feng and them, and Ouyang Feng and the others made a place for the two of them, and everyone sat on the ground together.

The little girl brought a bowl of porridge to the old man and the little boy and said, "This is also very delicious, you can eat more, there are quite a few." ”

Before, Ah Zi Cat and Big Panya went to the woods next to them to run wildly, and when they saw two strangers joining, they also came over, looking curiously at the old and the young.

The old man was startled when he saw the cat, so he instinctively stood up, pulled the little grandson behind him, and looked at the big tiger and the little mouse on its head with a frightened face.

Penny slapped the cat lightly and said to the old man, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you." ”

The old man stammered, "It, it, it's yours, friend?"

Anna smiled and said, "That's right, come, sit down and eat, and by the way, tell us about Longyuan City." ”

The old man sat down with palpitations, and from time to time glanced at the cat standing behind Mingyue who was constantly looking at him, but the little boy was not afraid at all, while eating the fritters in his hand. While also looking at the cat and Big Plate Tooth with the same curiosity. Grinning from time to time.

Longyuan City. Located in the central area of this road, it can be regarded as the largest city in the entire road, it stands to reason that with such a good geographical location, Longyuan City should be very prosperous, but because of the arrival of the Yuanqi War and many other reasons, Longyuan City is not only not prosperous at all, on the contrary, it is also very poor. Although the people there have houses to live in the city, and some merchants can also rely on some small businesses to support their families, most of them rely on farming to make a living, and outside Longyuan City, the terrain is complicated, most of them are rocky and hard soil, there is not much land to cultivate, and there are many people and little land. As a result, in years of drought or heavy rains, the whole city will go hungry.

And now. The two alliances were like fire and water, and they blocked the nearby trade routes, so that the merchants could not do business, and the residents of Longyuan City could not even buy high-priced food, so in desperation, everyone left one after another to find life in other provinces and cities, and the old man and the little boy were one of them.

Anna frowned and asked, "Are the people who were with you just now also from Longyuan City?"

The old man nodded and said, "Most of them are, and a small number of them joined halfway, and I don't know where they came from." Ouyang Feng nodded understandingly, after all, this old and young man has no ability to protect themselves, and if he asks about other people's origins everywhere, it is easy to get into trouble.

Qingfeng asked in wonder, "Longyuan City is so far away from here, why did you come here, why don't you find a nearby city to live in?"

The old man sighed and said: "The nearby city is not easy, I was also planning to find a random place, as long as I can survive, but I went to several places one after another, all of them are groups of beggars, refugees are in pieces, our ancestors and grandchildren have no skills, can not find any work, and then I heard that Qingyuan City is very rich, and it is easy to find a job, so I came over with some people in the same city to see." ”

The monkey who was still busy frying fritters on the side said: "Qingyuan City is good, and it is easy to find a job, but it requires craftsmanship, and if you don't know anything, you can't find a job." ”

The old man asked, "You came out of Qingyuan City?"

Yadonis nodded and said, "Well, I only came out yesterday." ”

The old man said hopefully: "Can you tell me what Qingyuan City is like, where can I find work? I know how to trade, I worked in a shipyard when I was young, and I can build ships, which is why I chose to come here." ”

Zhan Tianhu asked suspiciously: "You know how to build a ship, why don't you find a job near Longyuan City?"

The old man glanced at Zhan Tianhu with a smile and explained, "There are no big rivers and lakes over there, the only one that is a little bigger, and a few small boats are enough to ferry people, and this skill of mine will not be useful there." ”

Qingfeng asked tentatively, "Is the boat in the river the same as the boat in the sea?"

Speaking of this, the old man said confidently: "There is a little difference between the boat in the river and the boat in the sea, but the difference is not much, and I used to build sea boats." Ouyang Feng and the others asked a lot of questions about shipbuilding, and the old man could answer them one by one.

Ouyang Feng said to the others: "I don't think they want to be spies of any force, and this old man seems to be very experienced in shipbuilding, why don't we help him?" ”

Hongshang was the first to agree, and everyone else nodded in agreement. Ouyang Feng smiled at the old man and said: "There are many people like you who want to settle in Qingyuan City, now Qingyuan City can no longer accommodate so many people, and the city is even more overcrowded, and the City Lord's Mansion no longer accepts residents, and if you want to enter the city, you need a residence certificate, otherwise you can only stay outside the city."

The old man froze for a while, then sighed with a disappointed face and said, "Then what should we do?

Ouyang Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now the residence certificate is no longer issued, unless it is a certain contribution to Qingyuan City, or a person guaranteeing it. ”

The old man said dejectedly, "We don't know anyone there, so it seems that this trip has been in vain." ”

Hongshang glared at Ouyang Feng with disgust, and went straight to the topic and said to the old man: "Old man, don't worry, let's eat first, don't worry about going to the city, we will guarantee you to ensure that you can enter the city and find a job." ”

The old man looked at Hongshang blankly when he heard this, and after a long time, he made sure that Hongshang was not joking, and hurriedly pulled up his grandson to salute, thanked him again and again, and said: "Thank you, thank you so much, you are the life-saving benefactors of our ancestors and grandchildren." ”

Ignoring the dust on the old man and the little boy, Hongshang helped the two of them up and said, "Don't be like this, this is just a gesture for us, come, let's eat quickly, and only when we are full will we have the strength to hurry." The old man's face was full of surprise, he nodded again and again, and pulled his little grandson to sit down, he could see that although Ouyang Feng was dressed ordinarily, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

The old man seemed to be really hungry, so he took a few sips of porridge and drank it clean, and the monkey brought the fried dough sticks that had just come out of the pot, and said to the old man, "Don't worry, eat slowly." ”

At this moment, another small caravan passed by, and the main person of the caravan was a fat man in his forties, who got up early in the morning and hurried away, and he had not even eaten a bite of food, just in time to see the monkey carrying a fritter to the others sitting around a piece of animal skin.

The fat man scratched his bald head and asked the captain of the guard beside him in wonder, "When did they start selling breakfast here, and what do they eat? Why haven't I seen it before?"

The captain of the guard shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe it's recent." ”

The fat man chirped, looked at the sky, and said to the captain of the guard: "Stop, let's go eat some too, anyway, it's not far from Qingyuan City, and then hurry when you're full." ”

The captain of the guard just wanted to persuade him, the fat man had already jumped out of the carriage, and the captain of the guard smiled helplessly, this boss is good at everything, but he can't walk when he sees delicious food, especially those snacks that he has never seen, seeing the fat man walking alone to the roadside stall, the captain of the guard hurriedly took a few of his subordinates to follow, and looked at Ouyang Feng and the others vigilantly.

Maybe it was the trust of the guards, the fat man didn't have any vigilance, he walked up to the monkey who was frying the fritters, stretched out his head to look at the fritters in the pot, and asked with a smile: "What is this? How is it sold?"

The monkey glanced at the fat man, and saw that the fat man had a kind face, and he didn't look annoying, so he smiled and said: "This is called fritters, but it's not for sale, it's for us to eat, if you want to eat, go to Qingyuan City, it is estimated that it won't take a few days, and the restaurant of the Qingyuan Guild should have this thing." ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "So you are the only one here for this kind of thing?" the monkey shrugged. The fat man said with a hippie smile: "This little brother, you can sell me one, just one, will you make it?" Let me taste what it tastes like." ”

The monkey is not a stingy person, and he smiled and said, "If you want to eat it, I'll give you one." The fat man was overjoyed: "Really? Thank you so much." As he spoke, he directly reached out and grabbed a fritter in the iron net of oil filtering, and took a big bite impatiently, and then his eyes widened.

A few guards thought that something was wrong with the fat man, and protected the fat man in the middle in a thousand steps, and looked at the monkey and Ouyang Feng with a wary face.

The fat man swallowed the fritters in his mouth and said to the captain of the guard, "Why are you so nervous? Hearing this, the guards retreated behind the fat man.

The fat man smiled apologetically at the monkey and said, "Don't mind, they're like that, nervous." ”

The monkey smiled and said, "It's okay, how is it?

The fat man nodded again and again and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious, I think it's better than jajangmignin noodles." ”

The monkey was surprised and asked, "Have you ever eaten jajangmyeon?"

The fat man said proudly, "Of course, I'm the first person to eat jajangmyeon." ”

The monkey asked curiously, "Where did you eat it?"

The fat man said proudly: "In Qingyuan City, our Chamber of Commerce and Qingyuan Guild will have business dealings, last time I came, the steward of Qingyuan Guild invited me to eat, that taste, it is really good, but the meat in it is too thin, there is no oil and water, it would be better if you put more fat dices."
