Chapter 35: Arrival
Xu Guangling and his entourage stayed in Jiuqu City for a few more days.
I supplemented the use on the way, although the previous ones were almost the same, but in fact, they were still almost, such as building a felt canopy, Xu Tonghui found that some parts were not used well, so he added them this time.
It doesn't cost much money.
On the contrary, he sold some things that he didn't need before, and he earned more and left less, but he still had a small surplus.
But these are the little things.
There is another thing, which is also a small matter, but in fact, it has caused quite a stir.
That is the matter of Tian Hao being accepted as an entourage by a young master of a cultivator.
What kind of person is Tian Hao? He is just a rag who does chores on the beach to make a living, how can he be favored by monks?
In the end, how can he de, it also came out, and the people who lived in Datongpu that day also regarded this as a big strange thing, and there was nothing to keep secret, so the next day, this matter spread in Jiuqu City.
Even at the highest level, even the City Lord's Mansion and several great families in the city knew about it!
But this is really not a big deal, so someone just asked casually, and then also had a preliminary understanding of the situation, so I didn't ask again.
However, the question of the pheasants and hares, which counted thirty-five and ninety-four, sounded quite interesting, and was taken by the people of several families here to ask their own children, from a few years old to a teenager.
It is estimated that it may also be listed as a long-term "family exam question" by them.
Then there are many people who are about the same status as Tian Hao, and the Sanjiang Inn is crowded.
The shopkeeper has made a small fortune these days, usually only four or five percent or even the lightest time only one or two into the guest room, these days, up to the suite, down to the size of the shop, all full, and the registered guests are lined up for several days!
Not only that, there are also many people on the street who send people to inquire about the news, although the shopkeeper is trembling, for fear of accidentally offending people who can't be provoked, but those leaders are all things he usually can't stammer.
Although it is not a knot now, in the end, there is a saying.
On this basis, in the future, all kinds of people on this street, including those who opened inns like him, who would not look at him differently?
It is no exaggeration to say that this matter alone will make his inn always have a better business than other inns in the future! And it is not a day or two, it will always be better!
The shopkeeper plans to rent the shop where the two nobles live in the future!
In that Chase shop, only eight berths will be rented in the future!
Xu Guangling and his entourage actually only stayed here for two nights, and the next day, a loose cultivator came to visit in person, Xu Guangling asked Xu Tonghui to come forward and send it away, of course, what people were looking for was originally Xu Tonghui.
In the evening of that day, they left Jiuqu City.
After that, there was not much to say on the road and through the city, and they never lived in a shop again.
Xu Tonghui's heart ached for the shrinking silver taels in the package, and Tian Hao, that is, the big man, couldn't stop rejoicing all the way.
Because Lord Xu told him that the young master had just gone out, and he was curious for a while, so he lived in Xiatongpu, and he would not live in the future!
Tian Hao himself thinks so.
So along the way, he was extremely diligent, not only sharing Xu Tonghui's luggage, but also scrambling to do it every time he camped.
Of course, he didn't forget what the young master said when he accepted him, what the young master lacked was a cook!
So he began to learn to cook by heart.
Start with the easiest way to boil water!
It didn't take long for him to be able to handle the basic daily food preparation, so the division of labor in this team was also formally established.
In fact, Xu Tonghui officially handed over the matter of eating and drinking to Tian Hao, and in the future, he was no longer responsible for this matter, and even the cooking utensils such as dishes and buckets began to be completely handed over to Tian Hao.
Passing by a forest once, Xu Tonghui caught some birds at the edge of the forest, and even luckily caught a few pheasants, so their food suddenly became a lot more abundant that night.
Tian Hao's experience in taking care of the barbecue beach finally came in handy, he had never grilled anything, but he had seen people roast it up close, and at this time, in a hurry, he got on the horse and tried his best to roast birds and pheasants.
He finally ate pheasant for the first time, and he roasted it himself!
The birds are very well roasted, although Tian Hao can't talk about any craftsmanship, and he can also roast them, and even one of them is almost roasted into black charcoal, but that's it, those birds and birds also smell extremely fragrant.
It's just that when you eat it, it's a little stumbling.
And then the pheasant, I don't know what's going on, although he roasted it with great care, but the roasted things are still too bad, let alone eat, and even the tears are a little torn.
Tian Hao was ashamed.
But the young master said, "Yes, at least it's a good start, isn't it?"
Of course, Tian Hao knew that it was still far from the real "good", and he didn't know how far it was, but the young master's words still calmed his very uneasy heart, and also made him secretly grit his teeth and decide that he must study well!
In this way, without wind or waves, after a month or so of trekking, they finally came to the county town of Annam.
They didn't enter the city directly, but spent half a day walking around the city outside the city.
"Twenty-one in total, young master, the situation in the city may be a little complicated. After detouring, standing at the gate of Nancheng again, Xu Tonghui said to Xu Guangling with a somewhat solemn face.
The walls of Qingshui City are boxy and have only four sides.
But there is a saying in it, that is, the four city walls, the original construction, the city lord's mansion was responsible for one side, and then the three major families were responsible for one side.
It can also be said that the four walls represent the four major forces in the city.
Whether this is the case in Annam County is the same, it's hard to say.
But just look at the twenty-one sections of the city wall, there are old and new, the old one looks like it should be hundreds of years old, and the defects are only minor repairs, and the new ones, you can't see the age at all, you know that this is probably the same way as Qingshui City!
"Uncle Xu, you explain to Lao Tian. Xu Guangling looked at Tian Hao's confused appearance and said to Xu Tonghui.
After Xu Tonghui finished explaining, Xu Guangling said to him with a smile: "This is Annan County in the end, compared to it, Qingshui City is just a village place. However, there are only twenty or thirty forces on the table here, which is even less than I imagined. ”
"You don't have to worry about anything, the more forces there are, the more complicated the situation is, but if you really want to talk about it, the more people will not act rashly, but will act according to some conventional rules, so that most of the time, it will be calm. ”
Tian Hao seemed to be listening to a book from heaven.
Not only did he not understand this, but he also felt extremely incredible to say such things to the young master.
The young master looks like he is only about ten years old! He may not even be ten years old!
In comparison, the young master is like a wise man who has experienced the world, and he is like a child who doesn't understand anything!
He's incredible.
But Xu Tonghui didn't.
After the incident on the way from Qingshui City to Jiuqu City, no matter how the young master behaved, it was normal for him.
- It's normal, isn't it?
But he was still a little worried, this high city wall, there seemed to be countless fierce beasts locked in the city wall, "Young master, even if the wind and waves are calm most of the time, but what I'm worried about is that it's not that time!"
Xu Guangling smiled and didn't say much, but just said, "Okay, let's go into the city." ”
