Chapter 216
To this well-known city where private salt, private iron, and private tea seem to converge, Xu Ao is the first time to take a serious stroll here. In the eyes of many people, the place where the so-called smugglers gather must be dark and abnormal, full of people with white knives going in and red knives coming out, and blood and tears emitting the smell of copper everywhere.
After actually entering this city, you can find that hearsay is obviously not the same thing as seeing it with your own eyes.
A large number of smugglers and smugglers brought a lot of silver and gold, and a lot of silver and gold promoted the development of Dazhou City.
There is no shortage of high-rollers and the poor who go bankrupt in the blink of an eye. There is also no shortage of prostitutes, beggars, pickpockets.
The four members of the Golden Dragon Gang should strictly be counted as beggars among them. As for how there are beggars in such a prosperous city, the reasons are too varied. War orphans like the Four Heroes of the Golden Dragon. It's a lazy thing to do like the Silver Snake Gang. They are all breeding grounds for beggars. Maybe it's not a good thing to call a hotbed, but that's it.
In Xu Ao's opinion, he never felt that beggars were anything to be ashamed of, in his previous life, the beggars helped the group of martial arts masters, but he used to be unable to sleep at night.
This time, he actually fled to Dazhou City further north, and it has to be said that it is a kind of fate.
Xu Ao has always wondered why Beidi was able to easily stage the trick of the arrival of the wild god again in Lone Bamboo City. It's even more black fog than last time. The ear couldn't hear or speak, but he desperately fled by relying on the route he remembered in his mind, and Xu Ao was afraid for a while once he remembered it. Fortunately, none of them got into Beidi's trap. Although he fought all the way, he finally escaped. He could only vaguely remember now that it seemed that he had fought against many people, and even blew himself up, but that was still not far from the Lonely Bamboo City. As for what happened after that, he didn't remember it very well.
According to Wu Wuving's statement, when they first saw Xu Ao, who was seriously injured and dying, in the alley, he was covered with deep scars that could be seen all over his body, and if he didn't have a breath, they were going to find a random place to bury him. If Xu Aozhen was buried in a daze, he would definitely be one of the most unlucky traversers.
Die before leaving the school, often making heroes cry. Although Xu Ao is not a hero, there will definitely be people who shed tears for him, as for whether he laughs or cries, it all depends on his personal opinion.
Speaking of which, this is a bit far-fetched, Xu Ao spent half a day walking around the entire most prosperous street, which is not as lively as the women's street in his memory in his previous life, but it is better that there is no repetitive scenery, and even the signature dishes of each restaurant are not the same. This is much better than the Shaxian, Lanzhou, and yellow stewed chickens on the streets.
On the way back to the city guard's mansion, Xu Ao stopped by to see the shopkeeper of Nashan Building. Today's shopkeeper is really hugging a big tree, not only has the Nashan Building been raised by one floor, but a white hat that can be seen by the whole city has been added, and it has been wiped new by the hard-working guys. If it weren't for the fact that the boss named Yang Shan was still there, Xu Ao would almost not recognize this place.
"Xu Tianshi, please come in, please come in. The second child in the store greeted warmly. In today's Dazhou City, who of the original Yan people didn't try their best to tie up with Xu Tianshi? I didn't see that the boss of Nashan Building was just Xu Tianshi's distant uncle, just because Xu Tianshi made a gesture in front of that master, the whole thing soared.
Xu Ao nodded and walked into the Nashan Building. Now Xu Ao, the guys who are busy in Nashanlou don't know anyone, except for the smiling Yang Shanda shopkeeper who is socializing everywhere, that is, the little sheep who squats behind the counter to settle accounts and Wu Wuving, who can be vaguely seen working hard to chop wood in the backyard, are acquaintances. As for Zhenchengxi and his little sister Peony, Xu Ao really didn't see it, let alone sense where they were.
"Hey, Brother Xu!" Xiao Yang heard a noise downstairs, and quickly raised his head that was looking down to settle accounts. The one who caused a sensation as soon as he entered the door was not his benefactor Xu Ao, who had been thinking about it for a long time?
"Little Lamb, how is it, how is the income?" As soon as Xu Ao asked about the income, the little sheep immediately proudly took the small abacus in his hand high, indicating that the income in the past few days is not a small amount.
Xu Ao smiled slightly. Of course, he knew that Boss Yang Shan's business was very good, otherwise there would not be so many different dishes from the back kitchen. I guess it costs a lot of money just for the materials.
Since the day of the fight, the guys of Beidi suddenly sang and danced in the city to celebrate, and the Golden Wolf Department had just recruited a good cadre of the Yan Kingdom, so it can be said that the hatred between the two countries has disappeared a lot. In addition, the cheerful dance danced by the women of the Golden Wolf Department was seen by the local big girls and little daughters-in-law, and they only felt that if they learned this dance, they would definitely be very charming.
The northern dances are different from those of the Central Plains in that they emphasize cheerfulness and fun, rather than the dances of the thirteen kingdoms of Kyushu and the concentrated and fixed rhythms described in the Zhou rituals. is such a simple and easy-to-use dance, many Central Plains women have also learned some of it. Now, as soon as it gets dark, you can see a group of big girls and little daughters-in-law dancing these Beidi dances to the sound of musical instruments. Xu Ao almost fell to the ground on this, isn't this the square dance aunt team that he often encountered in his previous life, it is indeed art without time and space, and art without borders. Fortunately, they are all a group of big girls and little daughters-in-law who are working hard to learn this exotic dance, if they are like the previous life, they are all a group of aunts. The hatred between the two races should not be resolved so quickly.
As the two sides came into contact more and more, the people of the North Diquin Wolf Department no longer regarded themselves as the lords of the high, although they might still be a little domineering occasionally, but it was much better than pulling out a knife and slashing people without saying a word before.
Presumably, in a little while, there will only be fewer and fewer new stores like today, just to wait for someone to assassinate someone.
Xu Ao firmly believes so.
As soon as this person is sleepy, he will be verbose, and if he is verbose, he will be far away, and we will bring back the unfinished topic of Xu Ao entering Nashan Building at this moment.
As Xu Ao entered the Nashan Building, his every move was closely watched by those pretending diners, lest he miss something and go back to block the master. If the master is unhappy, their heads will not be saved.
Xu Ao chose a corner on the second floor where no one was there, and the window happened to be able to see the small lake that had been frozen not far away. I ordered a pot of rice wine, a white fish, and two steamed buns.
