Chapter Ninety-Seven: Departure Dali

Zhao Ming's conditions were still very attractive, and it didn't take long for the boss to find an experienced old groom, and the boss introduced that the old groom's name was Li Lao, and he didn't say the specific name. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This old horseman named Li Lao has been to Dali several times with the caravan, and he is quite familiar with the route, and he also wants to leave something for the rear entry, usually such a bold employer as Zhao Ming is rare, he is old and rare to meet once, of course he wants to fight.

When Li Lao saw Zhao Ming, he was surprised to find that it was a monk, not that he had any prejudice against monks, but a monk like Zhao Ming who was wandering outside was still so young and dressed so strangely, he could say that he had seen it for the first time in his life, and his first thought was that this would not be the legendary flower monk Lu Zhishen (the Water Margin happened during the reign of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty)......

But soon the horseman Li Lao calmed down, and after being a horseman all his life, he still knew what to know and when he should pretend to be stupid.

Zhao Ming laughed a little when he saw that the old groom lowered his head when he saw him, as if he didn't know anything and didn't ask anything.

"I guess I had any bad experiences before, I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope......" Zhao Ming looked at the old horseman, with a posture of 'listening to the wind, Xiao Xiaoxi, easy to be cold', and suddenly didn't hold back his laughter.

After laughing for a while, he couldn't laugh, Zhao Ming suddenly felt the helplessness of this world, the helplessness of ordinary people living in this world, why don't they want to cherish their lives, but in this troubled world, for their wives and children, and possibly for the grandchildren who have not yet been born, even if they are still afraid, they still did not flinch in the end, even if they knew that there was little hope of coming back, but for the sake of those children who continued their hopes, he still stood here without hesitation, even if his body was trembling......

As long as there are disputes and divisions where people live, there will be thousands of people like the old groom who gave up everything for their families, even their lives......

Zhao Ming no longer had the laughing mood just now, and took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his arms and gave it directly to the old horseman.

"This is a deposit, I hope to be able to leave in the afternoon, I don't know if it's okay?"

The old horseman was stunned when he saw that his employer had given him another fifty taels of silver, and then he smiled, he had never met such a bold employer, it seems that this time at least he didn't have to worry about the employer crossing the river and demolishing the bridge after arriving at the place.

"Okay, okay, I don't know where the little one is waiting for the master in the afternoon?" Although the old groom was very excited, he still knew how to measure, and asked Zhao Ming everything clearly.

Zhao Ming thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'll come over by myself in the afternoon." "Zhao Ming didn't want to walk this way by himself, but he just left the room this morning, and now he doesn't have any specific places to go at all, rather than choosing other places, it is better to come here, just take advantage of this time to get some good wine to take on the road.

Of course, the old groom did not allow anything about Zhao Ming's words, nodded and left happily.

The boss who was stunned next to him saw that the horseman Li Lao was gone, and then said: "Master, in fact, you don't need to give him another fifty taels, and it is likely to be ...... if you give it to him now" Although the boss's words were not finished, Zhao Ming could imagine what he was thinking from his 'inexperienced little child' appearance.

Zhao Ming didn't care about his face, smiled and said, "It's okay, I believe him." After saying that, he took out two hundred taels of silver tickets from his bosom.

"The carriage and the money for the horses, I believe this should be enough, right?" Zhao Ming glanced at the boss.

"Enough is enough...... the boss happily took the silver ticket in Zhao Ming's hand, he nodded and bowed his waist until now, isn't it just for these two pieces of paper.

"Well, then prepare some more dry food for me and put it in the car, and put more meat in it. After saying that, he left here without waiting for the boss's reaction.

This time, the boss didn't stop Zhao Ming again, and he stopped a fart when the money was in hand.

Zhao Ming didn't stay here for long, he went directly to various inns and restaurants to start looking for good wine, but unfortunately this is just a small town after all, I don't know how much wind and rain it has experienced, and the owners of those inns and restaurants are also doing small business, and no one will think of leaving something for their descendants, it would be good to be able to live a stable life here.

After searching the whole town, Zhao Ming didn't find a jar of good wine with a year of more than ten years, and the only one that was a ten-year-old daughter was a dowry left by a restaurant owner for his daughter, and now, his daughter was only ten years old, and the dowry was accepted by Zhao Ming first.

"Eh, it seems that you can't find such a good wine everywhere......" Zhao Ming looked at the sorghum wine in his hand and shook his head as he remembered the old shop in Hangzhou City.

After all, it's just a small town, although it's close to the capital, but the consumption level in this is here, just like you can't see a large supermarket in the countryside in later generations, it is already lucky for Zhao Ming to find a jar of daughter red, and the best prepared by the general inn restaurant is basically sorghum wine, even if Qiao Feng drinks it in Wuxi City, it is just sorghum wine.

"Forget it, let's do it first, Xiao Er, serve me a table of good dishes and more meat dishes. ”

"Alright, master... No, please wait, the small ones will be served. When the little second brother saw that Zhao Ming actually ordered meat dishes, he thought that Zhao Ming was just a fake monk, so he quickly changed his words.

Zhao Ming didn't explain, this is good, those who look at themselves are a lot less, and they can still have a peace of mind.

Half an hour later, Zhao Ming came out of the restaurant, looked at the sky, felt that the hour was almost up, and rushed over to the thousands of miles of carriage and horses.

When he arrived at the carriage and horse shop, Zhao Ming didn't expect that the coachman Li Lao had already been waiting outside the carriage and horse shop, and when he saw a bald head with a gourd on his back coming from a distance, Li Lao knew that it must be his employer, and hurriedly led the carriage over.

"Sir, get in the car, we can leave now. As he spoke, he put a small stool on the ground, and pulled up the door curtain for Zhao Ming by the way.

Zhao Ming didn't refuse, since he spent so much money, he naturally wanted to enjoy a little, he was not one of those ascetics, and if he rejected this Li Lao's kindness, then he would definitely be reluctant to take his fifty taels of silver, so it was good, everyone was happy.

Zhao Ming sat down and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave first, I bought wine in the inn and restaurant here, and you give me the goods one by one." ”

Li Lao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after feeling that what Zhao Ming said was not false, he quickly reacted and said, "Okay master." After saying that, a whip was whipped on the buttocks of the middle horse.

As the carriage began to move, Zhao Ming finally felt that his more than two hundred taels were indeed not in vain, the space here was not only large but also the thick fur underneath it, which was very good for shock absorption, although it could not be compared with those cars in later generations, but it was simply a world of difference from the carriage he had sat in before.

The next thing is to receive the goods one by one, those stores are quite honest, and the wine is still the wine they have chosen (if it weren't for the way they saw him, they would have wanted to exchange it).

After collecting the wine, Zhao Ming asked the horseman to set off directly, and there was no need to spare the road, so he walked directly along the official road all the way to the direction of YN.

As for staying in the hotel, Zhao Ming didn't think about it at all, there are so many carriages, what kind of store do you live in, just live in the carriage.

Li Lao is not ambiguous, it is not the first time for him to sleep in the wild, not to mention that this time the carriage is so big, even if he sleeps outside, it is like sleeping in bed.

In this way, the two of them ran all the way until late at night, it was not that Zhao Ming wanted to stop, but he couldn't stand it.

Zhao Ming studied the "One Word Wisdom Sword Duel" for a long time, relatively speaking, this sword technique is relatively simple, Zhao Ming has not practiced swordsmanship, so try this first.

Seeing that the carriage stopped, Zhao Ming asked suspiciously: "Old Li, what's wrong?"

Immediately, Elder Li's voice came from outside.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm tired and needs to rest, otherwise I won't be able to run tomorrow. ”

Zhao Ming thought about it, so he shouted: "Then let them eat grass and rest, let's get some food, you haven't eaten hungry for so long, right?" Zhao Ming said and opened the door curtain and walked down.

Below, Li Lao is feeding the horses.

"Hehe, I'm a little hungry. Li Lao saw that his employer had not eaten, and he had not asked for food along the way, so he had not eaten anything until now.

Zhao Ming smiled and took out the dry food he ordered the boss to get from the car today, this boss is not bad, and it is basically some sun-dried meat in it.

Zhao Ming brought over a jar of wine again, Li Lao had been shirking and saying that he couldn't drink it if he wanted to catch a car (drunk driving?), and he drank with Zhao Ming at Zhao Ming's request, he was surprised to see Zhao Ming actually drink wine and eat meat, but after drinking and drinking, he felt that Zhao Ming's personality was not as terrible as it seemed on the surface, and the fear in his heart also faded.
