Chapter 216 The Story One

When the waiter Wang San sat in front of Li Ye, it was almost midnight.

Li Ye had finished eating the corn pancakes in front of him, so he asked the waiter to bring another pot of tea and ordered a large bowl of beef noodles for the waiter Wang San.

Wang San was less than twenty and had a cute round face. He looked like a simple and honest guy at first glance. He was five feet taller and sat across from Li Ye. He smiled and said, "Young master, I don't know what your order was when you called me here."

?”

Li Ye looked at him and suddenly laughed. The originally dull atmosphere suddenly became relaxed because of this rare smile. Especially the sincere look in Li Ye's eyes made Wang San feel warm and safe.

"My name is Wuchen, and I'm from Fengyun City in Dongxuan Region. I see that you have perfect control over the blame, and I feel jealous, so I invite you to come over and have a chat."

The waiter Wang San touched his head and smiled, and said: "To tell you the truth, little master, I used to move down from the second floor one by one, but one day a guest who also stayed in this inn taught me a method to let people move down.

I practiced throwing the pots from above to below, and used the force of rotation to stack the dropped pots together..."

Li Ye smiled, thinking that the passing guest was naturally an expert in spiritual practice, otherwise how could the guy in this small town have thought of this method.

She smiled, poured him hot tea, and said, "How long have you been practicing? Have you ever broken a pot?"

"How can I not break it? I broke more than a dozen iron pots one after another, which made shopkeeper Huang deduct two months of my wages. I practiced for two months before and after, and then I basically practiced with the pots I broke earlier.

.”

Li Ye looked at Wang San's smiling face with a smile and said with infinite emotion, "I'm afraid you can't afford more than a dozen large iron pots with just two months' wages."

After Wang Sansi paid for a moment, he said: "It's definitely not enough. It's because our shopkeeper is kind and only let me pay part of the money. At first, he said it was to punish me. Later, when I finished practicing, he returned the wages to me. It's just that

I didn’t ask for it, so if I break the pot, I have to bear the responsibility.”

Li Ye heard that Wang San was almost childish, but when he thought about it carefully, he was actually somewhat respectable. Just for the advice of passing customers, Wang San practiced hard, even if he broke more than a dozen large iron pots, even if he got buckled by the shopkeeper.

Two months' wages.

Looking at the fresh dimples on his round face, I suddenly felt that the guy in front of me was a responsible and cute person.

While the two were chatting, the waiter brought the beef noodles, placed them on the table, said hello to Li Ye and went downstairs.

Li Ye pushed the beef noodles in front of Wang San and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a bowl of beef noodles. You're welcome."

Wang San looked at Li Ye and smiled, saying: "When I see that the young master is a real person, I won't be polite."

After saying that, he lowered his head and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the soy beef in the bowl.

...

Wang San chatted with Li Ye for a while and then went back to the shop to work. In his words, he couldn't be lazy. The brothers were all busy making ends meet.

Li Ye smiled and said we would chat when we have time.

After paying the bill, I got up and went back to the guest room upstairs. Mumu was already sleeping like a little pig, snoring gently.

Li Ye walked to the bed, pulled the quilt for her, took off her shoes, and leaned on the other bed. He recalled in his mind the moment when Wang San threw the iron pot in his hand downstairs.

The old monk in the Great Buddha Temple once said: The dharma of transcending the world and the dharma of entering the world are the same. As long as you understand the truth, all dharma can be understood.

Judging from the blame today, Wang San, the guy who practiced swordsmanship on Tianshan Mountain and practiced archery on the boat, both practiced hard and found the method through repeated training, and then mastered a kung fu to a certain level. Perfect.

Wang San's method of deflecting blame cannot kill people.

If you think about it carefully, if the guests who passed by had taught Wang San the method of killing, he would have practiced hard for several months and years, and he would have developed a clever method of killing.

At this time, Mu Mu was grinding his teeth in his sleep. After grinding his teeth for a while, he turned over and talked in his sleep, saying: "Brother, your hands are too soft, but Mu Mu's arrows are more powerful."

Li Ye looked at her quietly, smiling and listening to her grinding her teeth and talking in her sleep over and over again.

She wondered if Li Xiaoxue would grind her teeth in her sleep and talk in her sleep over and over again when she returned to Fengyun City from practicing cultivation in Fangcun Mountain.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, he saw a book with several pages opened on the table. He thought Mu Mu had taken it from the inn to read it, but after reading it, he felt sleepy and went to bed.

He stood up and walked to the table. He picked up the book on the table and opened it. It was "The List of Characters in the Central Region". Unexpectedly, this town was also included in the book biography of the Central Region. Li Ye couldn't help but open it. Take a closer look.

...

Liexi is a small town along the Fuchun River. The entire ancient town was built on the mountain, forming a complete commercial tribe.

The structure of the town is "three axes of one mountain and one river". "One mountain" refers to the continuous mountains surrounding the town on three sides: west, north and east; "one river" refers to the Fuchun River on the surface; "three axes" refers to the columns spanning the east and west. Xilao Street is the main alley running from north to south and west trade exchange and distribution street.

It is a high-altitude platform-type settlement with a dangerous terrain and a wide view. It is surrounded by mountains, ravines, rivers and other natural barriers, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and the semi-open space formed by the mountains plays a " The role of "hiding",

Because it is located on the Fuchun River in the commercial and logistics trading area, every household in Liexi's ten-mile long street is engaged in business. There are more than a dozen inns in the town alone, and more than a hundred mules and horses shuttle between the dock and the town every day to transport goods.

The town has a history of thousands of years. The goods collected and distributed mainly include salt, cloth, silk, porcelain, tung oil, alkali, mugwort, animal skins, etc. The merchants in the town operate with integrity and abide by the agreement of grain and rice. It is a material transfer in the Central Region. An important town with circulation.

Liexi's surnames are Chen, Dong, Yao, Huang, and Hu. Most of them are from different clans. The Dong family has a strong fist and operates a "bodyguard business"; the Chen family has purchased a lot of land and mainly operates "grain"; the Hu family has strong capital and operates a "bank"; After Huang Hanzhang ranked first in the scientific examination in Wanxiang City, his family gained fame every year and served as many local officials, so they were called "members". Each family name was involved in trade and transportation, and each had its own business name and fleet.

...

Before he finished reading the book in his hand, it was already half past midnight. There was a knock on the door from his husband. Li Ye went over to open the door. Li Hongxiu came in and looked at Mu Mu who was still snoring. She patted her gently and said: "Little lazy pig, wake up!"

Li Ye looked at his husband and smiled and said: "The shopkeeper of Huangji Shop opposite the inn asked us to have dinner, and I have already agreed."

The husband nodded and said, "When you go out, you want to meet more different people. It would be nice to have a chance to eat together." After that, he walked downstairs.

Mu Mu asked Li Hongxiu to catch it, rubbed his eyes and shouted: "Mu Mu is not a lazy pig."

Li Ye looked at Li Hongxiu, smiled, and said, "Master, please go downstairs first, and I will comb my sister's hair.

Li Hongxiu stood up holding Luo Qun, patted Li Ye on the shoulder and said, "Come down quickly, Master's wife is very hungry."

"Brother Mumu still wants to sleep." She looked at Li Ye and said, "Can you let me sleep for a while, just for a while."

Li Yeye sighed and said: "Shopkeeper Huang across the street said he wanted to treat us to a big dinner. I thought there would be something my sister would like to eat, so I woke you up. Since you don't want to eat, I'll leave and you can go back to sleep."

After speaking, he stood up.

When Mu Mu heard this, she jumped down, hugged Li Ye and said, "Brother, hurry up and comb Mu Mu's hair. I'm going to starve to death."

Li Ye took out the comb, pulled up her hair, looked at her and said, "You are not only a lazy pig. You are also a foodie. As long as there is delicious food, you will be indispensable."

Mu Mu pouted and said, "Brother, you don't like Mu Mu anymore. You would never have said that to me on Tianshan Mountain before."

Li Ye pinched the combed braid and said with a smile: "You are not so sleepy in Tianshan."

After saying that, he took her hand and left the room, heading downstairs.

When the two of them walked downstairs, Shopkeeper Huang and Boss Xie from Huangji Shop, Mr. Li Hongxiu and Li Hongxiu were already sitting around a table on the first floor. The food and wine had been set, and they were waiting for Li Ye and Mu Mu to come down.

Boss Xie pointed at Shopkeeper Huang, looked at Li Ye and said, "Master, let me introduce it to you. This is Shopkeeper Heng of Huangji Shop across the street. Shopkeeper Huang, this is Mr. Mo's disciple, Master Wuchen."

Li Ye put his hands together for Shopkeeper Heng, saluted, pointed at Mu Mu and said, "I've seen Shopkeeper Huang, this is my sister."

Mu Mu obediently gave Shopkeeper Huang a blessing and said, "Hello, old uncle, I am Bai Mumu."

Shopkeeper Huang looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I just met the young master downstairs. My assistant chatted with the young master for a while and said that the young master is a real person. Now that I saw him, it turned out to be true."

The gentleman pointed to the empty seat next to him and said calmly: "Hurry up and sit down, these elders have been waiting for a long time."

Li Ye sat down next to Mu Mu and leaned against Li Hongxiu. He cupped his hands with Shopkeeper Huang and Boss Xie again and said, "I'm causing trouble for you two."

Boss Xie stood up and opened a jar of wine. He looked at his husband and said, "This is not the Shaodaozi from Fengyun City. This is the red glutinous rice wine brewed by the Liexi people themselves. It has been stored for ten years. Give it a try."

Before he finished speaking, the aroma of wine wafted from the table, with the sweetness of glutinous rice.

Shopkeeper Huang said with emotion: "It's hard to find wine made in the past ten years. Most of the wine sold in the town was brewed in one or two years."

Boss Mr.

Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile: "Old Xie, you have drank many bottles of my wine for ten years. Mr. Mo is a guest from afar, so he should entertain you with fine wine."

The gentleman looked at the wine bowl in his hand, at the light red thick silk rice wine in the bowl, and was silent for a while.

He said with a smile: "It's really a blessing in life to be able to drink such fine wine at the expense of Shopkeeper Huang! I hope we can get together again in the future!"

Shopkeeper Huang said: "There will definitely be a chance to see you again. Then I will treat you to a drink of fine wine."

Boss Xie said: "As long as you continue to walk on the Fuchun River in the future, you will naturally meet Shopkeeper Huang and me again."
