226. Drink wine in a large bowl and eat meat in large pieces
Lu Chen's joining the convoy was just a small episode, and after a delay for a while, he continued to drive towards the official road.
Lu Chen put one foot on the side of the carriage, and the other foot on the carriage, dozing off by the carriage, the pits along the way, bumps and undulations, the coachman who was driving the carriage on the side swayed, but Lu Chen's whole person did not move, as if a nail was nailed to the carriage.
"Hey, brother, let's talk a few words, don't fall asleep, it's still going to be long along the way! The coachman in the carriage greeted him with a smile.
Lu Chen opened his eyes, glanced up at the swarthy young man in front of him, and said with a light smile: "Little brother, what do you want to talk about!"
"Brother Lu, where is the clan!" the swarthy young man laughed.
Lu Chen said: "I live in Wuxi County, Qingzhou, have you heard of it?"
"Of course I've heard of it, I've traveled with the caravan to the north and south, and I've traveled to most of the places in Kyushu, and I don't know what other places!" the swarthy young man laughed loudly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and the skin on his body had a common dark black because of the perennial sun and rain.
Lu Chen glanced at the other party in surprise: "I didn't see it, the little brother turned out to be quite experienced!"
"That's it, doing what we do, going south and north, sun and rain, commonplace!" The swarthy young man laughed heartily.
Lu Chen asked, "Little brother, your surname!"
"Cao Xingze, because my skin is a little dark, the brothers in the caravan call me Heizi, you can call me that, you can call me that!" the swarthy young man introduced himself, looking extremely bold.
"Kuroko?" Lu Chen was stunned.
The swarthy young man tugged at the reins, whipped the wagon, nodded and smiled: "Yes, just call me Heizi, we rough people don't care about those etiquette!"
"Oh, okay! Lu Chen smiled faintly, and had a very good impression of these rough people with bold personalities.
Heizi took out the leather bag he carried with him, took a sip of the cork, and then threw it to Lu Chen, and said with a smile: "Come, drink some, moisten your throat!"
Lu Chen took it casually, sniffed it, and said with a little surprise: "This is wine, is it still allowed to drink when the caravan is on the way?"
Kuroko said in a low voice: "You just drink it, it's okay, this is not a strong wine, it's the same as Qing Shui, you can't miss a big thing, this weather is so cold that it's going to be a warm stomach." ”
Lu Chen shook his head, didn't drink it, turned his head and glanced at the goods behind the carriage: "What is your carriage loaded, it seems to be quite valuable, so many people have been dispatched!"
"You said that these goods, they are all some silk, they are the best goods selected by the eldest lady personally to Bixiufang in Wuling County, these silks are rare boutiques, and when they go back to our hometown, they are ready to be sold to those wealthy families and dignitaries, one or two silks are worth ten taels of silver, and you say they are worth it!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he was a little surprised: "One tael of silk is worth ten taels of silver, then your carriages are loaded with so many goods, it must not be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"
"That's not, our family is doing a big deal, what's so surprising about this, making a fuss!" Kuroko said in a commonplace tone,
Seeing Lu Chen's surprised look, his face became a little more proud.
There are many kinds of silk materials, including mulberry silk, tussah silk, castor silk, cassava silk, etc.
The quality is different, and the price is naturally different, but those who can wear the clothes made of silk are all rich or expensive people, so the business of this caravan should be quite large, otherwise it would not have sent so many people.
Time passed little by little, and the caravan slowly traveled two or three hundred miles, but the road was very calm, nothing went wrong, but it was getting dark quickly.
When night falls, the moon is dark and the wind is high, which has a great impact on the caravan to hurry, which is not in the village in front of the village, and there is no shop in the back, who knows if there are bandits blocking the road on the way to rob it.
In order to try to avoid this kind of thing, the convoy had to stop on the side of the road and prepare to rest.
Dong Qiu, as the commander of the caravan, was responsible for protecting the safety of the caravan, and after the convoy stopped, he immediately arranged for people to sentry, while dividing the guards into two groups and taking turns to take care of the goods to prevent some short-sighted guys from taking the opportunity to make trouble.
After a bumpy day, many coachmen are a little tired, and it is necessary to rest at night, recharge their energy, and only then can they have the energy to rush at dawn.
Lu Chen's mental state is very good, there is nothing to do, after all, he is a congenital powerhouse, what is it to travel for a day.
In a large clearing, five or six bonfires were raised, and the coachman and the guards sat together in twos and threes, eating cakes and drinking hot water.
It's already late autumn, and in another month, winter will begin soon, and the weather is very cold and dry, especially the cold wind blowing at night, like an ice knife, which makes the skin hurt.
The coachmen and the guards sat by the fire, chatting with each other, chatting and farting about recent incidents, laughing, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
Lu Chen sat next to the sunspot, nibbling on vegetable cakes, listening to these rough men tell some meat jokes with taste, and sometimes when he heard the climax, he would also show a smile in line with the crowd.
At this time, a strong man in the guard caught a hare from the nearby woods, and immediately attracted a cheer, and after skillfully handling the rabbit, he skewered it with branches and roasted it on the fire, and after a while, the rabbit's skin became golden and yellow, and many people were about to drool.
"I said, brothers, the rabbit is so big, there are too many people, not enough points!, what should I do?" said a bearded man next to the fire.
The sturdy man frowned, and said unhappily: "Old Wu, one person can taste a piece enough, don't be greedy!"
"That's not good, Lao Tzu gnaws on vegetable cakes all day long, and his mouth fades out of the bird, and one of the rabbit legs belongs to me!" said Lao Wu a little arrogantly.
The sturdy man's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Why, you have a rabbit leg if you have a big mouth, this rabbit is still beaten by Lao Tzu, is it all mine, do you want a face?"
"Why, I'm not happy to eat a rabbit leg of yours, don't you owe a beating!" said Old Wu angrily.
"Old Wu, who do you say is beaten, try it again!" When the strong man heard this, his face couldn't hold back, and he shouted angrily.
At this time, an elderly bald man next to him shouted, "What are you arguing about?"
It's noisy, eat something and do it, shame on you! You like to fight very much, right? Old rules, Lao Wu and Luo Qing, you two go to the side to compare, whoever wins, the rabbit leg belongs to whom!"
It can be seen that this bald man has some prestige in this group of guards, and the two guards did not refute when they heard him drink like this, and walked out of the group directly, ready to fight.
Seeing this scene, everyone began to coax, when they were in a hurry during the day, the days were already boring, and now they have fun to watch, these men who lick blood at the knife all year round are suddenly excited.
"Old Wu, work harder, take down this kid Luo Qing!"
"Luo Qing, come on, beat him!"
The crowd coaxed together, and the atmosphere became very lively, and everyone was seriously enjoying a good show.
Luo Qing and Lao Wu stood in the open space, moved their muscles and bones a little, and started to do it with their bare hands.
Lao Wu was in a strong figure, and he rushed out with an arrow step, and smashed directly at Luo Qing with a punch, and his momentum was very fierce.
But Luo Qing is also a vegetarian, one dodges to dodge, turns around and swings his leg at the other party, and the shot is very fierce.
Lao Wu raised his arm to block this kick, took a lightning step forward, and smashed the opposite door with an inverted elbow.
Luo Qing didn't dodge or dodge, he took a punch from Lao Wu, raised a kick and kicked the other party's chest, the two of them snorted, took a few steps back at the same time, and then rushed towards each other.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides came and went, colliding with each other, and after more than a dozen moves, the fists were to the flesh, and the fight scene was quite exciting, attracting many people to applaud.
In the end, Lao Wu shook Luo Qing ghostly, suddenly ran to his back, kicked Luo Qing on the buttocks, kicked Luo Qing out, and fell into the mud.
"Lao Wu won, amazing!"
"Haha, Luo Qing, this kid is too inferior!"
The crowd erupted in laughter, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
Lu Chen watched the scene silently, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "The strength of these guards is not bad, at least they also have the realm of the seventh level of the day after tomorrow, the caravan can recruit such guards, it seems that the background is not simple!"
Luo Qing directly hit a carp, stood up, pointed at Lao Wu and scolded: "Lao Wu, you are cheating, you bastard!"
Lao Wu grinned: "Hehe, if you win, you can do it, anyway, Lao Tzu has legs and legs to eat!" and returned to the crowd as he spoke.
"Lao Wu, let's fight again, Lao Tzu is not convinced!" Luo Qing scolded and ran over, a little unwillingly.
Lao Wu tore off a rabbit meat and scolded with a smile: "If you lose, you lose, why are you like a girl, with a small belly and chicken intestines!"
"Cut, if you weren't cheating, it wouldn't be certain who would lose and who won!" Luo Qing ran over and rolled his eyes at Lao Wu.
The bald man next to him said: "Don't make any noise, the legs belong to Lao Wu, and the rabbit butt belongs to Luo Qing!"
Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and the originally red-eyed scene became much more harmonious in a blink of an eye, Lao Wu and Luo Qing sat together regardless of their previous suspicions, and began to brag around the fire.
