In fact, Liu Jizu doesn't know much about this master who loves to enjoy. When he was at home, he only knew that he was particular about dressing, and when he came out, he was very particular about all aspects, and he was willing to spend money, especially food, where there was delicious food, as long as he had been there, he would definitely try it at any cost. Liu Jizu didn't think so, he was very frugal in his previous life, and his family background in this life was average, he didn't pay attention to enjoyment, and he was very unaccustomed to such a lifestyle.

After a while, the dishes came up, Wu Lun tried it and introduced it one by one: "Taste it, this fish is beaten in the Fen River, the taste is not ordinary, this steamed meat has been made as a tribute, and it can't be eaten anywhere else." There are also noodles, which are particularly delicious here, and the yam is also a specialty here, it is a pity to miss it, eat it quickly, eat it quickly!"

After finishing speaking, I took a sip of wine, took a bite of food, and ate it.

Seeing this, Liu Jizu also tasted it, and had to admire, Wu Lun's choice of food was indeed unique. The taste of the dish was very good, it was the best he had ever tasted. He had studied cooking for a while in his previous life, and thought that the method of these dishes was not special, and in his experience, he could make them as long as he ate them once and tried them a few times. But with such a good taste, he knew that it was mainly because of the good ingredients, not all by cooking techniques, so he couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

Wu Lun was also very happy to see it, and said with a smile: "A lot of the money I have worked hard to earn outside is spent on eating and drinking, in addition to the authentic dishes, the wine is also the best in Dingxiang, never mixed with water, give you a drink." It's not that I'm stingy and doesn't give you more drink, when you're out and about, you have to remember, 'one person doesn't drink, two people drink alone, and more than three people take turns to drink', it's bad if you're all drunk!"

Liu Jizu nodded helplessly, "Uncle, you drink, I'll taste it." Besides, I'm still young, so I'll talk about it when I'm older. ”

Wu Lun nodded happily and poured a cup for Liu Jizu.

Liu Jizu This is the first time to drink liquor, he is inexperienced, he drank half a cup in one sip, it was unusually spicy, he coughed when he was choked, and his face was red.

Wu Lun smiled when he saw it: "If you don't let you drink, you're not happy, eat two mouthfuls of food, take a small sip first, and slowly get used to it." ”

When he stopped coughing, Liu Jizu ate a few mouthfuls of food, and the discomfort in his throat slowly disappeared, and then he followed Wu Lun's suggestion, first ate a mouthful of food, and then drank a little wine, and when a cup was finished, he slowly got used to it.

Wu Lun smiled when he saw this, "How about it, do you want to have some more?"

Liu Jizu shook his head and buried himself in eating.

Wu Lun laughed, "After eating, let's find an inn to live in." You go to buy books, I'm going to take a nap, and I'll take you to eat delicious food in the evening, which can be regarded as a celebration of your graduation. ”

When the food was almost over, Liu Jizu asked: "Uncle, are we spending too much money today, I heard my father say that renting a house is not more than ten taels of silver a year, and we only live for a month." A set of carts and mules is only a dozen taels of silver at most, why do you give him so much money?"

Wu Lun nodded when he heard this, turned his head and looked at the people around him who were eating almost scattered, and no one paid attention to them, so he whispered: "Yes, there is progress, I know that the account is settled." But the account can't just be counted on the surface, I'll do the math for you. Let's talk about the house first, it is not difficult to rent a house, and it doesn't cost much. But our requirements are safe, confidential, no one to disturb, and someone to deliver food, which can only be done by a few people. If you don't have enough money, who wants to do nothing, go outside the city for a month, and have to bear the risk, so the money is mainly labor expenses.

Speaking of cars, there are several kinds of cars, there are special pulling people with a shed is very lightweight, there is a special pull goods without a shed of the kind, this is the general people for short-distance use, leaky wind and rain, of course not expensive. But what we want is not these two, but the kind used to run the rivers and lakes, much larger and much stronger, both able to sit and pull goods, the carriage is fully enclosed, can shelter from the wind and rain and even block arrows and hidden weapons, we also have to modify, we want to be urgent, we must add money.

Not to mention knives and clothes, those are the most ordinary, and they are indeed worthless, but it is not easy to obtain them without leaving a trace.

Finally, there is the transfer center, and the two of us can do without it, but their mother and daughter may get into trouble if they don't have identification. Although most of the city checkpoints are not checked now, it is better than nothing, and with this we can also hide our identity. It doesn't cost much to do this thing, as long as you register it truthfully, but what we want is a black office, and you don't have your name written, which is expensive, and you can only do it by bribing relevant officials. People like Qiu Er are black and white, how can they deal with officials without money?

The most important thing is secrecy, he comes to buy it, and he can get these things through safe channels. If something happens in the future, we won't be able to find out. When the government finds out about him, he will also cover it up for us, which is agreed upon and the rules of the rivers and lakes. Ten taels of the sixty taels of silver are the confidentiality fee and Qiu Er's labor fee, which I calculated and prepared in advance. We can save a lot of money by buying these things ourselves, but we will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people, and maybe we will be targeted by people with intentions, find trouble for ourselves, and waste time and energy. ”

Liu Jizu nodded, "It seems that it costs a lot of money to do such a thing." ”

"Yes, the money in the rivers and lakes comes quickly, but it also goes quickly, which is very different from being at home. In the village, you can hardly spend any money, like your family, you grow and raise what you eat, you can weave what you wear, you can make your own use, and the rest is to buy something that you can't make yourself. If you don't see a doctor, you won't be able to spend the first ten taels of silver all year round. Of course, your master and I can see that I can earn money by myself, and the child can make a living independently, so I am willing to spend money. But there are not many people like me in the rivers and lakes, and you will know if you see more later. ”

Liu Jizu nodded, thinking to himself how ordinary farmers can afford to spend money like you. It seems that I also need to earn more money so that my family can live a good life like Master! The two of them settled the account after eating, and it was more than 100 yuan.

Liu Jizu shook his head helplessly, followed Wu Lun to the best inn in the county, and asked for a room.

In this regard, Wu Lun explained: "It's not that the master is reluctant to spend money to open another room for you, it's not worrying, you still sleep on the floor with me!"

Liu Jizu didn't care, after practicing martial arts, he also slept on the floor in the hall alone, he replied: "It's okay, I know that the master is for my good." ”

The conditions of this inn are much better than the one near the inn, and the rooms are more spacious. Wu Lun went directly to bed and fell asleep, Liu Jizu put away his baggage and went to buy books alone.

The bookstore is next to the county school, not far from where they live. In fact, the entire county is not very big, and Liu Jizu is idle, just wandering around the streets of the county. He had finished his walk around the main street in less than an hour, and he had calculated his way in advance, just in time to walk down the street near the bookstore.

This street is close to the county school, and almost all the students who have been admitted to Xiucai in the county and the children of the rich and noble families in the county are here. Liu Jizu is an outlier, he is also qualified to come here to study, but he wants to learn martial arts, and he doesn't want to take the imperial examination, so he never came, and this time he came to buy books is just an excuse to cover people's ears.

At this time, the county school had just finished school, and I saw that all the young people who came out of the county school were colorful, greased and powdered, with exquisite makeup and exquisite clothes. If he hadn't known that it was a county school, Liu Jizu probably wouldn't even be able to distinguish between men and women. This kind of scene, he saw it when he first came to the county to take the Xiucai test, and he was very surprised at the time, and he didn't know why these men were like this, so he also consulted Mr. Tian for this purpose.

Mr. Tian explained helplessly: "This is from the capital, and the earliest signs appeared in the sixty or seventy years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was strong, and some qualified men began to pay attention to these, especially scholars. This trend has intensified in recent years, first in the capital, then in the big cities, then in ordinary state cities, and finally in county seats. Nowadays, there are such readers everywhere throughout the Great Zhou. They first paid attention to eating, dressing and enjoyment, and then slowly began to learn women's makeup, wear colorful clothes, and behave more and more like women. The country is governed by such people, and sooner or later there will be chaos!"

Thinking of Mr. Tian, Liu Jizu felt sad again, he shook his head and looked up at the county school at the end of the road. I saw that on both sides of the county school is the red building, on the other side is the green building, and then down are two luxuriously decorated restaurants. The scholars who had come out of the county school all entered these places in groups of three or five. Further down was a shop selling the four treasures of the study and a bookstore, the store was cramped and shabby, and there was not a single customer.

Liu Jizu bought a few books and some paper and ink, and went back to the inn.

Wu Lun had already gotten up and was moving his body.

The two of them will squeeze out an hour every day to exercise, which is the rule of martial artists. They have already developed a habit, and if they don't practice for a day, they will feel that the level of martial arts is declining.

Wu Lun saw Liu Jizu coming back, and said, "You pack up, let's almost go to eat, and there will be no place to go late." Giving you a drink today is a celebration of your graduation!"

Liu Jizu is not interested in drinking now, but he can't spoil the master's interest. He hurriedly put down his things, washed his face again, and went out with Wu Lun.
