Chapter 30: Food is the Sky
Hong Chen knew that Ji Cha was tricking people again, and he felt that it was not good to deceive people in his heart, but he still admired the ability to make others believe this nonsense. Compared with the situation of being treated as a lie by others who repeatedly told the truth, he felt quite depressed, and he had no intention of listening to the sea kan between Ji Cha and Liu Quan, and his mind was full of thoughts about the past month.
After leaving Taoyuan, he first inquired about where there were good knives, and then he was taken to the blacksmith's shop, and after trying a few knives, he shook his head and said that it was not good, and was driven out by the blacksmith as a troublemaker. Later, I heard that people said that good knives are famous knives, so I asked where there were famous knives, and after learning about it, I wanted to eat and drink dew, and trek through mountains and rivers.
As a result, no matter what sect gang he went to, when people heard that they came to see the knife, none of them were willing to hand over the knife to themselves. When the speech is explained, people either don't listen to it, or they don't believe it. He continued, and the people got angry and drew their knives to cut themselves. In the end, he defeated his opponent by himself, took a knife but found that it was not the knife he was looking for, and then apologized and returned it to others.
In the past many days, only Ji Cha is willing to listen to his words, and only Ji Cha is willing to believe his own words.
Hong Chen also thought about whether Ji Cha likes to trick people, whether he will also trick himself, and he has a lot of confusion and doubts in his heart. It wasn't until he woke up after the battle with Luo Qinghan and saw Ji Cha that he suddenly understood that he might have been deceived a lot, but it was better to go to find a knife with Ji Cha than to run into a wall everywhere like a headless fly, so he followed more firmly.
On the other side, Ji Cha and Liu Quan talked for a while, knowing that this sour Confucian was born in Xingyun Academy in Xingyun City in the south of Yunzhou, and this time he went north to Tianzhou Tianjing, to defect to a senior uncle. I looked down on him more and more: "The poetry and sword faction of the previous dynasty came to this dynasty, and the two factions of 'qin sword' and 'book sword' were derived. The Qinjian faction is unrestrained, and the sword madness Luo Qinghan is the Qinjian faction; the Shujian faction has a large number of people, pays attention to the economy and the world, and likes to deal with the court, and many people are officials in the court. I thought that although Liu Quan always ate radishes and didn't worry about it, he was brave and brave when he saw injustice, but now that he saw that he went to Tianjing to join his uncle, he was probably asking for an official and a half-job, after all, he was just a layman who asked for a field. β
Thinking of this, the more I looked at this person, the more angry I became, and I couldn't help but think more in my heart: "Maybe I came to chase the horse thief, just to make a meritorious service first, and when I reach Tianjing, the title may be greater." As for that prevarication, it is just a pretend posture of a stinky literati pretending to be high. β
was unhappy in his heart, and Ji Cha's mouth also became mean: "I don't know Mr. Liu, do you want to be a military attache who rides a high-headed horse to swagger through the city every day, or does you want to be a civil official who dances and writes all day long, and is comfortable and leisurely?"
"Miss Ji is too prejudiced. Liu Quan shook his head and said, "Military attachΓ©, defending the country outside the country, stabilizing the people inside, wearing a battle robe and armor and good weapons, is to go into battle to kill the enemy and deter Xiaoxiao, not to show off to others." As for civil service, it is not a position of leisure and pleasure, repairing projects, building household registration, advocating the theory of enlightenment, and leveling the world, which can be separated from civil officials? β
Ji Cha disagreed, and said: "Don't argue, when others haven't seen what it's like to be an official? β
Liu Quan smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Ji Chen, don't mistake ...... just because you have seen a bad official."
Without waiting for Liu Quan to finish speaking, "mistakenly thinking that all officials are bad", Ji Cha smiled and said: "I know-don't mistakenly think that just because you have seen a bad official, you can't mistakenly think that this is the only one who is a bad official!"
Liu Quan couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that it was useless to argue any longer, so he turned to say: "Where are Miss Ji Chen and the Black Tea Brothers, and what are you going to do when you go to Purple Cloud City?" If there is something inconvenient to talk about, there is no need to say it. β
"Hey, there's nothing you can't say. I'm also from Yunzhou, and I invited that black tea halfway, so I don't know. My family has a business in Ziyun City, so I'm going to collect some goods this time. β
Ji Cha said in his heart that he was not telling a lie: I am indeed from Yunzhou, which city will not tell you; Hong Chen, who was invited halfway, has no name, and it is nothing to change his name to black tea; a dignified tea picker, isn't it just stealing weapons to do business and receiving goods? This time it is still a big deal!
Originally, the post station was not far from Ziyun City, but the road was delayed by the horse thieves for a long time, and it was much slower to drive the horses and cars to escort the horse thieves than to simply hurry, and when the three of them came to Ziyun City, the sky was already bright, the city gate was wide open, and there were many pedestrians coming and going.
Ji Cha waved his whip: "Mr. Liu, let's not go through it yet." You send the horse thief to the government, and I and the black tea go to sell the horse. At noon, let's eat on the first floor of the Tianlin Inn in the city. He didn't wait for Liu Quan to agree, and drove the horse away.
Liu Quan saw the two of them drive more than a dozen horses away, and did not stop them, although according to the laws of Dayu, horses should be confiscated, but people captured horse thieves and made merits, and it was reasonable to take the horses away. I just thought to myself, this Jichen girl is so beautiful, don't be targeted by the Zhong Huozi she met on the boat that day. After all, the bodyguard black tea looked ordinary, not like a profound martial artist.
Ji Cha and Hong Chen drove their horses all the way to the morning market in Ziyun City, bargained with the merchants inside, and sold the horses for a total of three hundred taels of silver, and a heavy bag was hung on Hong Chen's waist. I saw many notices posted on the streets and alleys of Ziyun City, and when I looked over and found that they were all wanted notices. Two of them were themselves, and there was one wanted one who they also knewβit was Zhong Huozi.
Seeing Zhong Huozi's wanted portrait, Ji Cha remembered that when the disciples of the Yunmo Sect questioned Hong Chen that day, they had said that Wang Lifeng was not injured by Zhong Huozi, but was stolen by Zhong Huozi after his limbs were broken by a person who knew how to ghostly ghosts. I couldn't help but wonder again: "Who is pretending to be me to do evil?" But he can also be ghostly, I don't know which family of the Four Sects and Sixteen Palaces is a disciple. Wait for me to find out the truth, there is a good looking man. β
Hong Chen asked on the side: "Last time, you said that there were two famous knives in Ziyun City, which two were they?, when will we go over to steal?" When he said the word "steal", he felt a little unpleasant, so he changed his words: "Uh, when did you go over and get it." β
"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when I catch up on sleep. Ji Cha covered his mouth and yawned, "Just go to the upstairs of the inn to sleep first, and wait for lunch to eat with the man surnamed Liu, and bring over the bounty he took from the government." He is sour and rotten, and he will definitely give it. I hope that he will not be too pretentious, and he will not want the government to give him a bounty. β
Hong Chen asked again: "Then can we eat the Kyushu full banquet at noon?"
"Although we have money, we are tired of eating too much at the Kyushu banquet, and this time we will eat something with more local characteristics. Ji Cha shook his head and said, "The donkey meat in Ziyun City is said to be a must-have in Yunzhou, the marinated donkey meat is sandwiched in a crispy fire, and then eaten and drunk with green onion and egg soup, salty, sweet and delicious." Cooked donkey meat slices dipped in garlic vinegar are also very delicious. Finally, the cow drinks a big bowl of donkey soup...... Tsk, there is no greater happiness on earth than this!"
Hong Chen licked his lips: "Really, I haven't eaten donkey meat yet." β
Ji Cha raised his eyebrows: "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground, will I still fool you?" Go to one side of the water and soil to eat one side of the dishes, although the Kyushu whole banquet is a chowder of Kyushu cuisine, after all, it is not good to eat it in person at the production area." When I take the magic weapons of Yunzhou, I will take you to Tianzhou Tianjing to get them again, by the way...... Hey!" he licked his lips and laughed.
"What are you doing by the way?" Hong Chen remembered yesterday's words, "Go sit on the dragon chair, be the emperor, and sleep with the queen?"
Ji Cha turned from joy to anger, glaring at a pair of eyes: "Do you really want to sleep with the queen?"
"Uh, no. β
Hong Chen didn't understand what this was at all, and when he saw that Ji Cha was angry, he hurriedly denied it.
Ji Cha then said: "I'll take you to eat Tianjing roast duck by the way." It is said that the fruit wood roast duck there is different from the greasy roast duck in other places, and the good fruit wood is smoked and roasted, and the roast duck has a fruit wood aroma from the outside to the inside. And the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, there is no fat, and it is not greasy at all. Roast duck skin and meat separation, duck skin can be dipped in sugar and eaten directly, duck meat and green onion shredded sauce together wrapped in pancakes and then stuffed into the mouth to chew, keep your mouth full of fragrance, mouth fragrant. After eating the skin and meat, I drank the duck rack soup, and the whole body was hot, warm, and indescribably comfortable. β
