58 Small Restaurants, Big Rivers and Lakes
Jinyang City, majestic and majestic.
Xu Tianran and his entourage found a small restaurant outside Jinyang City and lived temporarily, thanks to Tang Yunlong who gave Xu Tianran a thousand taels of silver tickets, Xu Tianran saw the silver ticket for the first time, and the largest denomination was one hundred taels, which was a huge amount of money.
Xu Tianran looked at the silver ticket repeatedly, and the silver ticket was printed with the words Wansan Qianzhuang, and asked Zhu Ziqi suspiciously: "Can this silver ticket be directly exchanged for silver taels?"
Zhu Ziqi glanced at him, and said helplessly: "I really haven't seen the world's dirt buns, Wansan Qianzhuang is the money village run by Qian Wansan, the head of the Gusu Qian family, Qian Wansan is the richest man in the world, rich and rivals the country, the silver ticket of Wansan Qianzhuang is the most reputable silver ticket, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to redeem the silver money, so the merchant Jia Duo will store the silver money in Wansan Qianzhuang, one is convenient, and the other is safe." Legend has it that half of the world's silver money is in the Qian family, not to mention that you have a thousand taels of silver in your hand, even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and ten thousand three coins can be redeemed for you. ”
Xu Tianran was dumbfounded, he was really a frog at the bottom of the well.
Xu Tianran asked weakly: "This is just a piece of paper, aren't you afraid that someone will forge it?"
Zhu Ziqi glanced at Xu Tianran again, "Each money village has its own identification code, and it can't be imitated, especially the silver ticket and paper of Wansan Qianzhuang are made of Zizhu Dongtian's fine purple bamboo, and Zizhu Dongtian is a small world controlled by Gusu Qian's family, ordinary people can't even touch Zizhu, let alone imitate? However, the most important thing is that Wansan Qian Zhuang has been the most honest for thousands of years, and has never issued silver tickets indiscriminately, and a silver ticket is a silver tael, which is the reason for his prosperity for thousands of years. ”
Xu Tianran suddenly realized, and the chick pecked the rice and nodded: "I see." ”
Zhu Ziqi smiled and said: "There is something that surprises you even more, even the Great Liang, the Jin Kingdom, the Wu Yue Kingdom, the official silver of all the countries in the world also exists in Wansan Qianzhuang, and Caoyin all rely on Wansan Qianzhuang to transport, you say, is the Gusu Qian family rich and rivals the country?"
Lu Xiaobu was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.
Xu Tianran kept pecking at the rice along the way, accepting Zhu Ziqi's knowledge of the rivers and lakes to make up for the lesson.
When night fell, Xu Tianran lit a candle, quietly took out the map from his arms, and corrected all the mistakes and omissions in the map names along the way, seeing that the red punctuation on the map was getting closer and closer, and his mood became heavier and heavier.
Ten years of life and death.
Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation.
Ten years, where is the tomb of my mother? I only see each other in my dreams, and the closer we get, the sadder I feel in my heart.
There was a sharp knock on the door.
Lu Xiaobu broke into the door without waiting for Xu Tianran to say that he would come in, "Brother Tianran, let's go eat, I'm dying of hunger." ”
Xu Tianran slowly put away the map and said with a smile: "Well, let's eat." ”
Although the small restaurant is small, it is better to be clean, and all kinds of dishes are good and cheap, and there is a storyteller in the lobby.
As soon as Xu Tianran walked into the lobby, he found that there were several strong spiritual power fluctuations.
At the first table on the left, there is a noble boy in a purple shirt and a gorgeous costume, with a handsome appearance and a slender figure, especially a pair of hands, as slender and slender as green onions, and he must be a person who is good at music and rhythm.
At the first table on the right, there is a businessman in Hufu, his facial features are as sharp as carvings, and there is a faint murderous aura on his body, but ordinary masters can't detect a trace of murderous aura hidden in his body at all.
At the opposite table, there was an ordinary-looking, extraordinary-looking knight of the rivers and lakes, with a long sword hanging from his waist, although he seemed to have no spiritual power fluctuations, but his qi was calm, and he was obviously a top master.
Xu Tianran and Zhu Ziqi glanced at each other, sat down easily, and watched the changes.
As usual, it is still Zhu Ziqi who orders, after all, only Zhu Ziqi has seen the world in a group of four, and the rest are all fledglings in the rivers and lakes, for fear that they will make a joke if they are not careful.
The old storyteller, dressed in coarse black clothes and with empty eyes, was obviously blind.
With a delicate-looking twenty-eight little girl by her side, she held a cheap white wooden pipa and played it gently.
The old storyteller shook the folding fan lightly and said eloquently: "Tianji Pavilion Qingyun List, do you know the top ten young talents?"
"Bang", the folding fan was closed, the old gentleman paused, and continued: "The tenth place on the Qingyun list is Her Royal Highness Princess Zhu Ziqi of Daliang, it is said that Princess Daliang not only has a strong martial arts, but also has a beautiful appearance, and the country and the city. ”
Xu Tianran held back a smile and secretly glanced at the white clothes opposite.
Zhu Ziqi was unmoved, and tasted the tea carefully, which seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Lu Xiaobu grinned and said, "Old man, you haven't seen Her Royal Highness the princess, how do you know that she is extremely beautiful, and she may also be an ugly monster?"
In the lobby, diners burst into laughter.
Zhu Ziqi glanced at Lu Xiaobu, Lu Xiaobu looked puzzled, where did he provoke this noble son?
The old storyteller smiled and said: "What this guest officer said has some truth, but legend has it that ten years ago, Her Royal Highness the princess ran away from home, and some people in the rivers and lakes were able to get a glimpse of the princess's appearance. ”
Lu Xiaobu grinned and said: "People who practice martial arts are all exposed to the wind and sun, their skin is dark, their hands and feet are calloused, rough, if they can ride horses, their buttocks are calloused, even though Her Royal Highness the princess is naturally beautiful, but after practicing martial arts, tsk, alas, it is miserable." ”
The diners burst into laughter again. The noble son in a purple shirt squirted a big sip of tea, smiled like a warm spring breeze, waved his hand, and rewarded the storyteller father and daughter with a few taels of silver.
The merchant kept rubbing his beard, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he shook his head slightly.
The swordsman with extraordinary qi took a piece of silver lightly, flicked it with two fingers, and accurately fell into the copper basin in front of the little girl who played the pipa, and the sound of "clang" was crisp and pleasant.
Lu Xiaobu thought about it, he was rare to be articulate, and he couldn't take credit, coughed, and said loudly: "This is what my natural brother said." ”
Xu Tianran squirted a big sip of tea with a "poof" and rewarded a big black charcoal with a big chestnut.
Xu Tianran didn't dare to look at the white clothes opposite, there was a killing intent that was terrifying.
Lu Xiaobu covered his head and shouted that it hurt, Xu Tianran pursed his lips, and silently endured the severe pain from the soles of his feet.
The old storyteller no longer paid attention to Lu Xiaobu's unreasonable troubles, and continued: "Qingyun ranked ninth, the little monk of the Pure Land of the Landa Temple, the hidden dragon and crouching tiger of the Landa Temple in the holy land of Buddhism, there is a saying in the rivers and lakes, all the martial arts in the world are out of the Landa, and the little monk of the Pure Land is only eleven or twelve years old, and the future is limitless. ”
Lu Xiaobu took a chestnut, he was much more down-to-earth, he didn't interject anymore, his mind was waiting for the food to be served, and his stomach was already growling.
"Ranked eighth on the Qingyun list, Mo Xuan, a disciple of Zhu Xi, the great Confucian of Dongting Academy, was a disciple of Mo Xuan, and his high knowledge in the year of the weak crown made it difficult for many old masters to match. ”
The diners listened with relish.
"Qingyun list ranked seventh, Langya Wang's young master Wang Erzhu, Langya Wang's family, the thousand-year-old Wang Wang Xian, the old Wang Xie Tang Qianyan, the Xie family has disappeared in the long river of history, the Wang family is still prosperous, which is fascinating. ”
The dish was served, Lu Xiaobu couldn't move the chopsticks impatiently, Xu Tianran didn't dare to move the chopsticks for a long time, a killing intent was cold and piercing, and sweat soaked the clothes on his back.
"Qingyun ranked sixth, Qingping Villa young master Chen Sledgehammer, sledgehammer, as his name suggests, his body is burly and majestic, and he is nicknamed Sledgehammer. Qingping Villa is famous for casting swords, and I want to come to Chen Shaozhu with outstanding talent and good iron to get this elegant name. ”
Xu Tianran couldn't help laughing, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled slightly, Zhu Ziqi couldn't help but smile, Lu Xiaobu scratched his head, is Chen Dazhui the sledgehammer in our school?
The old storyteller took a sip of tea, paused for a long time, and when it came to the critical time, the girl's pipa sound was crisp and pleasant, and the knowledgeable diners naturally knew the rules, and shouted loudly: "Little Er, come to the pot of Fen wine." ”
There are also generous diners who let the servants reward some broken silver or copper coins, the blind man's empty eyes move slightly, and the time of drinking tea is just right, too short to get enough reward, too long for the diners to be impatient, but the gains outweigh the losses.
"Qingyun ranked fifth, 100-foot building Chen Qianqiu. The dangerous building is 100 feet high, the first floor is stronger than the first floor, the hundredth floor of the 100-foot building, Chen Xiangsong, Guo Yiyao fairy couple, the husband and wife are the fifth masters of martial arts, saber generals, Mo evil, double swords, envy the people of the rivers and lakes. Chen Qianqiu is the only son of Chen Daxia and Guo Nuxia, with outstanding talents, known as invincible sword qi under thirty. ”
Suddenly, a woman's scream sounded in the small restaurant, Chen Qianqiu, but the young man who is the favorite of the women in the rivers and lakes, and the legend of his parents' fairy couple is even more envious of thousands of girls. If you don't care about cultivation in terms of popularity, Chen Qianqiu and Wu Qingfeng beat the other eight.
The diners nodded yes, and sure enough, the top five masters were hard goods, and they wanted to drink a few more glasses of wine when they listened to it. The owner of the small restaurant is happy to bloom, especially recently began to say Qingyun Bang, the small restaurant has come to a lot of boudoir girls, I want to come to the boudoir girl likes young talents the most, I was so excited when I heard their names, these days Zhuye Qing can be sold on sale, the inventory is not much, you have to hurry up and buy.
When the owner of the small restaurant heard that Chen Qianqiu's popularity was so high, it seemed that he had to let the storyteller tell more stories about Chen Qianqiu, and he could make a lot of money when he thought about it, and the boss laughed happily.
"Qingyun ranked fourth, the Taoist little immortal Xie Xuanyu, with the dust in his left hand and the talisman sword in his right hand, has already subdued countless demons in the year of the crown, and the demons are not counted. Wudang is the leader of the Daomen, and the head of Wudang personally commented on Xie Xuanyu's eight words, and the guest officials guessed which eight words?"
Lu Xiaobu blurted out, "Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, Xuanyu is the most spiritual." ”
The crowd burst into laughter again. Xu Tianran rewarded Lu Xiaobu with a big chestnut again, and Lu Xiaobu held his head to show his unyielding determination.
Xu Tianran raised his fingers again, and wanted to punish Lu Xiaobu heavily, Lu Xiaobu said aggrievedly: "Anyway, everyone is happy, why take it seriously?"
Xu Tianran shook his head helplessly and said: "You said ten words, you have to be more knowledgeable in the future, and even the number of words is wrong, so what's the fun." ”
Lu Xiaobu suddenly languished, and his face was lost to his grandmother's house.
"Wudang teaches eight-character comments, Xuanzhi and Xuan, feathering and ascending immortals. It can make Wudang Zhangjiao feel that it is mysterious and mysterious, it must be unfathomable, and it is the highest evaluation of Taoism for thousands of years, and the cultivation is to become an immortal, if Xie Xuanyu can step out of the avenue, once he ascends to the immortal, it will be a beautiful talk that has been passed down in the rivers and lakes for thousands of years. ”
There are more and more customers in the small restaurant, and some of them have no seats, so they hold a wine bottle in one hand and a wine glass in the other, standing and drinking themselves, which is also a unique taste.
