Chapter Seventy-Four: By the White River

The confluence of the Bai and Huai rivers is a plain area, and not far from it is the endless mountain range. After the boat arrived here, the boat boss let go of his hanging heart, and his face became relaxed. It seemed that at that moment, the tension he had started from Jinling had been relieved at once.

"I parked the boat at the pier, disembarked and headed north to the White River, and my mission was accomplished. Finally fulfilled the mission. The ship's boss's swarthy face smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth.

"You haven't run this line before, it's a bit hard. Wang Shan smiled at the boat boss and said.

"I've never traveled by water before, but I've been all over the country by land. Ahem" The boat boss had a smug smile on his face, as if he was recalling those things back then, but he suddenly realized something, and his face changed and he hurriedly covered it with a cough.

Wang Shan didn't deliberately ask anything, so he asked casually: "Then after getting off the boat, I will invite everyone to have a meal, which can be regarded as taking care of the four of us along the way, can the boat boss bring the brothers with him?"

"This should be no problem, from this time Jinling is all smooth water, here to collect two days of leather goods, to bring to Jinling is a good deal, anyway, you have to stay for two days, then Xie Lu Xie Wang brother." The boat boss thanked Wang Shan.

"You're welcome, it's been so hard all the way, we should thank you. I don't know what's better in this place, I'm going to take a look, find a better tavern, and find me to find you. Wang Shan replied.

"Then we're welcome. The boss of the boat waved his hand and instructed everyone to stop the boat at the pier, and said loudly: "Mr. Wang has a treat today, everyone work hard, finish it early, and have a good drink in the evening." ”

"Good" echoed, all the people have accelerated the work in their hands, it has been hard for a long time, and they can finally relax, and the mood is indeed very happy.

Wang Shan waited until the boat stopped, came to the shore, and walked along the dock to the street of the town to the Yuelai Inn, as soon as he entered the door, he was beckoned by Xiao Er to sit on a seat away from the street by the window, Xiao Er enthusiastically made tea, and said: "This is our famous Jun Shan Maojian, the best in white tea." What do you order?"

Wang Shan made a gesture and whispered, "I want to see your boss."

As soon as Xiao Er saw the gesture, he immediately said, "Guest officer, stay in the house, come inside, please." After speaking, he took Wang Shan to the living room in the backyard.

Xiao Er re-brewed the tea and said with a smile: "This time it's really Junshan Maojian, you use it slowly, I'll go to the boss." ”

After a while, the boss walked in quickly, and as soon as he came in, he said, "But I waited for you, and I was worried that something would go wrong." "The owner is a slightly chubby man. The middle-aged man with a round face, who was already a little sweaty in the first few steps just now, sat on the chair, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and calmed down.

"I came by boat, so it was slow for a few days, so the boss was worried, in Xia Wang Mountain, may I ask the boss's surname?" Wang Shan arched his hand towards the boss and said.

"Don't have your surname Zhu, a single name and a noble word, I can rest assured that you are here, the horses and things are prepared in the back yard, and you have to give them to you at any time now." Zhu Gui said to Wang Shan.

"There's no hurry, today I want to feast here for the brothers who disembarked from the ship, and after that, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. I don't know if the road can be done?" Wang Shan said to Zhu Gui.

"That's no problem, I'll go and let them prepare it now, and I'll cover the accommodation and meals today. Zhu Gui patted his chest and agreed.

"Then I will thank Brother Zhu Gui. Then I'll take the things first, and the horses will be brought out tomorrow morning when they leave. Wang Shan said with a smile.

"This should be, you come with me. This side please. Zhu Gui stood up, stretched out his hand and guided Wang Shan to the inner room to get something.

When Wang Shan came out of the Yuelai Inn, he had already carried a burden on his body, he walked quickly towards the dock, until he walked to the boat, and when he saw the captain of the boat telling him where to eat, he returned to the cabin room, and the four people were already waiting for him. He took out the burden and placed it on the table, opened it, and inside was a degree and mask divided into four parts.

Wang Shan handed it to the four people and said: "Remember the content of the mask, the mask is brought to a place where no one is after leaving this town, this mask is very permeable, sweat can penetrate out, don't worry about sweating." ”

Zhou Ting touched the mask and said in surprise: "The mask of the Li family in Shandong, is that something that can't be bought with money?" The others weren't too surprised, the things they used along the way already made them not feel any strange about Wang Shan's ability.

Wang Shan ignored Zhou Ting's surprise, and just said, "We will eat and rest at the Yuelai Inn tonight, and we will set off at dawn tomorrow." Now let's go to the Joy Inn. ”

The five of them arrived at the Yuelai Inn together, and the princess went to the room early, she had been a little uncomfortable on the ship for several days, and was in a hurry to go to the guest room to clean up. Zhou Ting watched the princess at the door, and when she went down together, the others had already gone down to accompany the boat boss and them to drink.

Zhou Ting watched a group of men downstairs start a carnival by the fence on the second floor, and indeed good wine is an exciting thing, which can make people forget the pain for a while, but also make people excited, and the most exciting thing is that it makes people close to each other.

Zhou Ting looked at a group of men who began to walk back and forth between the tables, laughter, talking, and the sound of cups and cups clinking together, Zhou Ting seemed to have returned to a long time ago, when his brother was still there, at that time, the brothers in the cottage were also after every time they fought the local tyrants, after fighting with the officers and soldiers, the brothers were also so big banquet brothers, so lively together, all the brothers would laugh loudly, drink and make noise, until they fell drunk and fell asleep in various places in the cottage.

Zhou Ting looked a little dazed, suddenly a little distracted, and a slight voice came from behind: "Did you remember something when you looked at them?" Zhou Ting came back to his senses, the sentimentality in his eyes flashed, and he didn't look back until the princess cleaned up: "I'm just a little hungry, my mouth is a little hungry, aren't you hungry?"

"I'm really hungry, so let's go down and get some food. As soon as the princess heard this, her eyes lit up with joy.

When Zhou Ting and the princess walked below, the boss specially left a table of dishes for the two of them, which was probably specially instructed by Wang Shan. There are carp, mutton, and a few stews and stews, and when you go to Henan to stew and carp mutton, beef is the main ingredient, plus pasta, it is definitely the best choice.

Most of the dishes that the princess has eaten are exquisite Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes, and when they come here, they have become ordinary ingredients made by small families, and the method is simple, but the very practical dishes also have a unique flavor feeling, and they are also very happy to eat. Zhou Ting also drank, and after a while, the princess was left alone to watch a group of people get drunk. The proprietress was very considerate, came to talk to the princess non-stop, helped the princess to kill the boring time, and after the most Lu has been accompanying the princess back to the room to watch the princess fall asleep before blowing the lamp and leaving the room.

The night passed quickly, and in the night of revelry, who could have imagined what tomorrow would be?
