In my memory, the most common food during that time was some steamed buns and kelp.

"By the way, haven't you ever eaten kelp?"

"I've eaten kelp, but is that seafood?"

"As long as everything in the sea is seafood, of course, seafood is also meat and vegetarian, and the one you eat is called vegetarian seafood. Tianya said: "Of course, it is better to eat meat than to be vegetarian, so we went to eat a serious meal of meat and seafood today." ”

"Hmm~!"

The last time I went to Pingzhou, Xiang'er and Tianya were still newlyweds, so sometimes they were still shy, and they were embarrassed to say what they liked or wanted. Tianya didn't notice that Xiang'er wanted to eat seafood, so the last time she went to the beach, Xiang'er was a little disappointed.

But this time is different, the two have slept in the same bed for more than a year, and now there is nothing to be shy or shy about. Xiang'er stretched out her finger directly when she wanted something, and Tianya never shook her head.

Tianya usually spoils Xiang'er, not only treats her as his wife, but also treats her as a little sister of course. After all, it was two young people who knew each other at an age, and Tianya's feelings for Xiang'er would always be part of that age. So for Xiang'er, Tianya has more than one kind of love, and she can give Tianya whatever she wants.

Xiang'er was also glad that she was a woman after marrying Tianya, and Xiang'er had always disliked the fact that she was a woman. Because women are inherently weaker than men, Lei Fang reminded her countless times. Even if the skill is equal, it is difficult for a woman to beat a man.

Xiang'er originally wanted to practice martial arts well and then avenge her father. So she hated herself as a woman at first, and if it was a man, it would be much easier to practice martial arts.

But now Xiang'er doesn't think like this anymore, she is completely spoiled as a little woman, as long as she is a coquettish to the end of the world, there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved. And she also experienced the joy of being a woman, because she felt happier than Tianya when she was serving Tianya.

In order to spoil Xiang'er, Tianya immediately went to find a restaurant specializing in seafood to eat. There are many restaurants and inns in Xinzhou, and there are many grades in one inn. Because the merchants who passed by here basically did not have houses in the local area, they wanted to live better and eat better. But the merchant will not come alone, and the men under him also need accommodation, so the inn also reminds of a variety of services.

Of course, Tianya has to find the most luxurious restaurant, because he still has a lot of money, although he didn't take the money in the Lei Wang's Mansion, but the money Li Hongji gave was enough for him to squander it for a long time. But it's a pity...... Tianya wanted Zongxin's Qiankun bag together, but Zongxin just didn't give it.

It is a very troublesome thing to carry money with you, because it is the weight of gold and silver cannot be compared to it. Tianya doesn't mind this weight, but it's really troublesome.

Tianya is still very eager for the kind of paper money that Zong Xin said, if there is a way to make it impossible for others to forge this kind of paper money, and use paper money to represent gold and silver, then it will be much more convenient to go out. Now Tianya needs a carriage to carry a box containing money by himself, and if there is only one baggage, it will not be able to hold so much gold.

After ordering a large table of dishes, Tianya found that there was no progress in the restaurants in Xinzhou, and many shellfish and snails were all cooked together, and a large pot was served, and two smoked dishes were given. Is it really delicious to do so?

The answer, of course, is yes, things like scallops and conch just need to be cooked. It's hot and fresh, because it's salty, but you don't need to smoke it at all, and it's very delicious to eat it directly. None of these things have been processed, and Tianya has deliberately removed the sand bags of the conch and liver and scallops by himself.

"It's delicious~!"

It's the first time for Xiang'er to eat seafood, and it feels really different. It tastes great without any seasonings, and with a special smoked dish, it has a unique flavor.

These meats are completely different from the meat you usually eat, the taste is Q elastic and smooth, and you won't feel tired of eating no matter how much you eat, which is an eye-opener for Xiang'er. Regardless of whether the meat you usually eat is thin or fat, you will get tired of eating a few more pieces, but the meat of these shellfish can be eaten to your heart's content, and it is okay to eat it even to last.

"Xiang'er, you only went to the beach once when you were in Pingzhou, right?"

"Hmm~" Xiang'er said: "I haven't eaten much seafood, it turns out that seafood tastes like this." The inside is salty, very fragrant and slippery. ”

"They also said they would take you to the Uighurs and Persia...... Sure enough, you should play all over our Central Plains first. Tianya was curious: "Xiang'er, is there any other place in the Central Plains where you want to go?"

"I'm fine, I'll go wherever you go, just follow you. ”

Xiang'er's requirements are not high, as long as she can stay by Tianya's side, she is very satisfied. What's more, it's actually the same everywhere you go, different scenery and different people, and every place has a beautiful side. Anyway, I'm still young, and I still have a lot of time to play.

"That's good. Tianya raised his voice: "Dude checkout." ”

The guy stepped forward and said, "The two guest officers are outsiders, you have eaten three coins of silver, and the small shop does not accept copper plates." ”

For outsiders, they will first make it clear that this is not a copper coin. Because the value of copper coins varies from country to country, even if they get the copper coins of Da Zhou, they can't use them, not to mention who knows when Da Zhou will die. Therefore, copper coins can only be circulated in China, and even if they are circulated in China, it is not convenient, so the most commonly used is silver.

Tianya took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, and weighed it at least four or five coins. Then he put it on the table and turned his head to stare at the guy.

"It tastes good, it's cheap, and the extra money is a reward. However, this money is not taken for nothing, and I want to ask about the situation when I first come here. ”

Although this uncle asked, the little one knew everything and said everything. The man immediately put away the money on the table, and settled the bill with his own money, and the money was his.

"Is there anything weird or funny going on in NSW lately?"

The guy said, "It's not fun, but there are strange things." Just like today's meal, a pot of seafood and a few fish will charge three dollars of silver, and if you came a few months earlier, there would be at most two dollars of silver left. It was because the first emperor Liu Sheng died, and the new emperor Liu Gang succeeded to the throne. Generally, the new emperor will reduce taxes and grant amnesty to the world. As a result, instead of reducing taxes, our new emperor increased them. As a result, the taxes of NSW and Salt Island have increased by nearly 30%. ”

"Thirty percent of the tax has been increased? Is this emperor poor and crazy?"

"Isn't it? The life of the poor is getting harder and harder, and what do young men like us dare to say? The shopkeeper can only maintain normal expenses by raising prices, and he can't make much money by opening a restaurant. ”

As he spoke, two young women dressed in white brocade came in from the door, and their physiognomy was lightly dressed, like people practicing martial arts. However, the eyes of the two women were frivolous, as if they were superior.

Except for Tianya and Xiang'er, the other people in the restaurant deliberately avoided their eyes, as if they were very afraid of the two of them. This made Tianya very interested, are these two women local bullies? I have never heard of a woman being a bully.

Because the other people in the restaurant were dodging, only these two stared at them directly, and the two women immediately saw the little couple Tianya and Xiang'er.

"Outsiders, let's get down to business first. One of them whispered, then pulled the other woman to the counter. But the other woman kept staring at Tianya and Xiang'er, and even Tianya didn't know what was revealed in this woman's eyes.

After coming to the counter, the shopkeeper took out a small money bag directly from under the counter, and then said politely: "The two of you have worked hard all the way, and you have already prepared it for the two of you." ”

"Business is good. ”

"It's not bad to drag the two of you, it's not bad for the shop to be angry. ”

............

"Collecting protection money?" Tianya turned his head and said: "Man, the people of New State are too temperamental, aren't they, being charged protection money by two women? Don't talk about me, you can beat them, man. ”

"Be quiet, be quiet,......" the guy said softly: "You can't talk nonsense, this is a person from the Qiongxian faction, their sect only accepts women, and they still want good-looking women." The people of the Qiongxian faction are all strong in martial arts, and the key is that they have forces behind them. ”

"Is there power, how much power can it be?" Tianya thought for a while, the most powerful person in Xinzhou is Lei Tianxin, can it be said that these women have something to do with Lei Tianxin? No, Qiongxian faction...... Could it be that this is a gang formed by Lu Qiongxian?

If this is the case, how can Lei Tianxin not care about it? Even if the Southern Han Dynasty forced him to collect taxes, Lei Tianxin could simply refuse to give them. What's more, a small gang came to NSW to collect protection money, and Lei Tianxin could directly kill all these women.

Of course, with Lei Tianxin's character, even if he kills this gang, he will not kill these women, Lei Tianxin has always been lustful, these women must all be controlled, and then enjoy them slowly.

"It's better for you, a foreigner, not to ask too much about these things, if you have anything to do, hurry up and leave when you're done." These women are not easy to mess with, so don't get involved with them. The man spoke in a very small voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by the two women.

After the two women finished collecting the money, they walked straight to the table at the end of the world. After the two walked in front of Tianya, they looked at the two people on the table carefully, and then kept nodding, as if they were very satisfied.

"Yes, yes, the young man looks quite energetic, and this girl is not bad. One of them laughed and said, "What I hate the most is a little couple like you, who is a little white face like you, pretending to be affectionate and loving, and immediately selling the girl around me if something happens." If you meet me today, you are unlucky. ”

Tianya and Xiang'er both looked at this woman with very surprised eyes, they didn't know what she was stimulated by, but she looked like this...... I'm afraid I won't live long. Tianya felt that Xiang'er would be very angry when she heard this, and maybe she would slap her to death directly, and Xiangya also thought that Tianya would do this.
