“Three bowls of large cooked noodles with soy sauce!”
"Liu Yatou! Clean up quickly and clean the table for this gentleman!"
"..."
As soon as you enter, it's steaming hot.
The atmosphere inside the building is noisier than outside.
Several errand boys in the lobby were rushing back and forth, not daring to stop for a moment.
"Hey! This Taoist, please come here!"
The boy bent over and rushed over. He was panting slightly after running around countless times in the morning, but he still maintained a friendly and slightly flattering smile on his face.
Chen Yu gestured with his hands, and then didn't go to the second floor. He chose an empty seat on the first floor and sat down.
"One Qian Baoshan, plus a plate of burnt fragrant beans."
After casually ordering some tea and food, he picked up the Taoist robe that was about to fall to the ground.
look around.
The people in the teahouse are mixed, including hard-working people, vendors, and soldiers, as well as intruders traveling north and south, and young men in rich clothes waving paper fans.
There were people walking birds, people singing, giving lectures, and people shouting and selling snacks. The small teahouse actually had a bit of all kinds of things in the world, and it was now fully revealed in front of his eyes.
This is appropriate.
Chen Yu thought that in this way, it would be much easier to obtain information.
However, it should be noted that most of these messages are mixed between true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish them. He still needs to peel off the cocoons and screen them one by one.
"Master Dao, your tea."
The waiter acted very quickly. Not long after ordering, he brought out a bowl of tea and brought it to the table.
Also placed on the table was a plate of burnt yellow beans, which were steaming. I waved my hand and fanned my nose, and the aroma of burnt beans and the fragrance of tender beans aroused my nerves.
not bad.
The last time he came here, he heard from the manager of the medicine cabinet that this Yiyuan Teahouse has three unique features: top-quality spring rain, sauerkraut soup and noodles, and the burnt fragrant beans in front of him.
I just had two bowls of porridge before going down the mountain. I wasn't too hungry, so I didn't have the chance to try his delicious food.
I picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, savoring two portions carefully. The water temperature was a little high, and I guess it had only been boiled for a short time. The tea taste was a bit rough, but after all, it was just Baoshan tea, and it was far less delicate and soothing to the throat than Yuchun.
As long as you can drink it.
In front of my ears, everyone was chatting, from south to north, from rivers and lakes to temples, and all kinds of miscellaneous things were placed on the table for discussion.
"General Song is such a capable person!"
"Yeah, how long did it take? I killed the Tao Yang thief until he fell on his back!"
"A lot of them were killed, and I heard that a group of them were cut in half and abandoned in the market. My nephew is over there. I heard from him that the soil at the food market in Taoyang was red in those days, and even the rain couldn't wash it away!"
The drinkers were talking, and Chen Yu listened.
Taoyang County is located at the northernmost end of Guangyong Prefecture, actually not too far from Shiya County. There was an uprising before for unknown reasons. It is said that the rebels once captured the county seat and took over the county government office.
Houses were broken into and thousands of people were killed, wounded and scattered.
By the time he came down the mountain last time, the power of the Taoyang thieves had become stronger and stronger. They were not even satisfied with one county. They used Taoyang as a stronghold to plunder and attack several surrounding counties with fierce momentum.
I didn't expect it to be calmed down so quickly. No wonder the county, which was originally filled with unrest, has regained its popularity.
I picked up a pea and put it in my mouth and chewed it.
Bang, bang, bang.
Snapped!
At this time, one of the three people at the table next to him suddenly shouted: "Great! Great! All the thieves on the cholera side have been killed. The peace of all counties will be revealed!"
Chen Yu looked around and saw that the man had a red face and white teeth. He was wearing a long white gown with bamboo patterns. He had a tall figure and a square appearance. When he saw the square scarf on his head, he showed a clear expression.
He was originally a scholar.
He was not surprised by this man's passionate performance. You must know that when Tao Yang's thieves were strong, it happened to be the thirtieth birthday of the emperor in Jianye Capital.
It was supposed to be a day for everyone to celebrate, but there was a rebellion. It was a violation of God's will. The fact was as expected. Emperor Liang was so angry that he directly issued an edict to cut off the scientific examination of nearly ten thousand scholars from the four prefectures of Xizhou.
With a word of destiny and a word of edict, the previous hard work of these scholars who had studied hard for ten or even decades in a humble window was wasted. How could you not be angry?
It's just that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Even if they had a hundred more courage, they would not dare to complain against His Majesty Sheng Ming Wu Zhu, so they had no choice but to vent their full resentment on the group of thieves who were causing trouble.
"Those thieves! Bandits! They are so full of evil! It's too many to describe. I wish I could eat their flesh alive!"
These words were so angry and generous that everyone around him turned their attention.
Look at the fun.
Fortunately, the other two people at the table reacted. One of them grabbed one side and pushed the young man in the scarf back to the chair.
"Brother Ji Chu, don't be angry, don't be angry."
"Yes, if you get angry over a group of dead people, wouldn't it be worth the loss if you hurt your spleen and lungs?"
The two of them talked to each other, trying to persuade the young scholar to calm down. He raised his head and took a sip of tea to relax.
But he was quiet, but some people were not happy.
"Oh, who am I? He's just a hairy boy who doesn't know anything, so he just talks nonsense and accuses those poor people as thieves and bandits. He has read all the books of sages and sages into the dog's belly?
!”
The people around were not too concerned about the fuss, and a few people sitting on the edge shouted something, trying to arouse the anger between the two parties.
Chen Yu glanced and saw that the man who spoke had a thick beard.
Well, this one feature is really obvious.
At most, he carries a long sword on his back and wears a linen robe.
You don't need to think about it to know that he is a martial artist.
Returning to the scholar's side again, the young man in the city was not good at all. He became so angry with just one or two words that he stood up with red cheeks and said loudly: "Who are you? Those thieves burned, killed and raped. They committed all kinds of sexual acts.
Why do they seem to be pitiful people with hidden secrets in your mouth? They are pitiful, but those who were robbed and killed are not pitiful."
The atmosphere became heated again, but Chen Yu did not join in the fun anymore. He had already eaten all the beans in front of him. Ahem, the information he should know had been found out.
The situation has indeed improved recently, but only in Guangyong Prefecture. For the other prefectures and counties in Xizhou, the destruction of the Taoyang bandits did not have much of a deterrent effect. The rebels in various places are still arrogant.
And the brave General Song, whom everyone said was probably far from the time for his troops to return to the court, was probably rushing to the next place to put out the fire.
"I don't know how long we can last in this world."
After taking out the coins and paying the money, Chen Yu stepped out.
While sighing, he looked at the street market in front of him.
Eight years ago, the earliest Taiping rebels in the north were defeated in Youshan with an army of 200,000, led by the current governor. Since then, the war has been going on in this country. There are too many people in various states and prefectures to rebel, and it is impossible to suppress them.
live.
He was helpless, but once the half-acre of land on the mountain was cultivated, it should not be a problem to provide for one person.
As for wearing daily necessities... I can only take advantage of this period to go into the forest several times, collect herbs, exchange money for them, and then buy them. Otherwise, it will be difficult to buy them again when chaos breaks out in the world.
