Yamazaki returned to the shore, wiped his feet with the hem of his clothes, put on socks and shoes, and returned with his clothes on.
Shandai has finished eating and is eating sour plums to quench her thirst.
"Brother, you are so slow. I have to take a sip of water from you and my throat is filled with smoke. You are lucky enough to go down to the river to catch fish."
Shan Dai said this, but she took the herring with a smile on her face and didn't look at the water bag at all.
Yamazaki put down the two water bags, "There is no water in the restaurant, and a group of people are bathing on the shore. They can only run far away to get water."
"Never mind that, go buy wine quickly. Remember to ask for strong liquor. Don't procrastinate this time." Shan Dai took out a knife and processed the herring.
"I know, but you have to let me put on my clothes."
"What does it matter? Just wear it and go quickly."
"Yes, yes."
Having said that, as Yamazaki walked over, he could still feel the dissatisfied looks and even cold snorts from some of the female heroes.
Yamazaki could only pretend to be stupid and pretend he didn't know anything.
After buying wine and going back, Shandai had already cut the herring into slices.
At this time of year, it’s too hot whether making soup or grilling.
It's best to use sashimi, cut it into thin slices, put it on a large plate, and pour strong liquor on it to remove the blood.
But since it is raw fish, it is impossible to remove all the smell of blood.
However, once the strong liquor is brewed, the flavor of the liquor will mediate the smell of fish and blood, making the fish fillet more delicious.
Not to mention the knife skills, the flesh of each part of the fish body is different.
The best thing is that it doesn't require any seasoning, it melts in your mouth, and what you eat is the taste of raw fish mixed with strong liquor.
For others, sprinkle some vinegar powder, or add ground ginger, or soy sauce powder, which will give it a different flavor.
…
A big herring weighing nearly three kilograms (gujin) was slowly tasted, and noon passed. (gujin is 1500 grams, which is the weight of eight or nine city kilograms)
Yamazaki returned the tableware to the restaurant. There happened to be boiling water, so he brought a pot of tea.
Shandai buried the fish bones and others, then leaned against the tree and took a nap.
In a blink of an eye, the sun turned to the west.
The business travelers who were in a hurry have already left a lot, but those who are not in a hurry are still waiting.
Yamazaki felt that the horses were almost rested, so he and Shandai led the horses to the river, let the horses drink some more water, and then got on the horses and started on their way.
…
Before the sun set, we drove more than a hundred miles and entered Huxi City.
As the name suggests, it is the west side of the lake and is an important ferry crossing.
If you don’t want to go hundreds of miles around, you have to go through here.
The city is quite prosperous, but at this time, the flooded mud is still there, making it look somewhat awkward.
There are many homeless and beggars with ugly faces on the street. Needless to say, everyone knows that they are all families whose fields have been flooded by this year's flood and have lost their livelihood.
Now we can only wait for government relief, and at the same time wait for the fields to be re-divided to determine whose fields are where, and then we can go home.
It was just that the government was slow to act. Fortunately, Jianghu people led the big families in the city to give porridge and medicine, and the situation was stabilized.
However, it’s only half-dead, so just take your time.
It's not just them who are sad, but also the people in the city.
There is no way, everyone has some martial arts skills.
That's all. When there is no way out, naturally any means will be used.
It was fine during the day, but at night, the government officials did not dare to go out, let alone ordinary people.
On the other hand, the scene maintained by the Jianghu people is still lively and lively.
…
Yamazaki and Shandai moved directly into the flower house and asked for a small courtyard.
Not counting food and bathing, etc., the rent for one night is ten taels of silver, and only a pot of tea and four plates of fruits are given.
Yamazaki and Shandai put away their things and stood facing each other, laughing and helping each other put on a fake beard.
There is no other way. You can't go to the flower house with a bamboo hat.
The appearance of the two of them was obviously too young, so it would be more pleasing to the eye if they dressed up, or in other words, they would not be eye-catching.
…
Legend has it that Huafang is the Golden Cave, and the two of them saw it immediately after entering.
A remote table contains ten taels of silver, a pot of tea and four plates of snacks and fruits.
A table of four dishes and one soup costs ten taels of silver, and a table of eight dishes and one soup costs twenty taels of silver.
A pot of wine costs ten taels of silver, and the girl accompanying the wine costs at least ten taels of silver. Two bottles of wine for two people is forty taels of silver.
I sat down, and before I even started eating, I already lost thirty taels of silver just to order.
I didn’t ask for wine or girls. In Shan Dai’s words, I was short of money.
The girls took the wine and left without saying anything. After all, most of the customers who could come in were rich.
In fact, the two of them were worried about being discovered. Although it was okay to find out, it was still a little embarrassing.
…
The musicians are playing hard and the dancers are sweating.
The oiran, who was just elected on the fifteenth day of this month, forced a smile on the high platform and waited for tonight's guests.
Whoever spends more money belongs to her.
Yamazaki looked at it carefully, but he didn't see it clearly. He felt that it was beautiful, but it couldn't make his heart move.
This probably means that everyone has their own preferences and preferences.
…
The food is served here, and the landlady over there brings a team of girls to sell the food.
Yamazaki looked around and didn't find the girl who shined in front of him, so he pushed her away.
He said he was tired from traveling today and just wanted to eat and rest early.
The landlady had nothing to say and could only resign.
…
Having said that, the two of them left after eating.
First go to the pier to book a boat, cross the lake tomorrow, and then go to the archway.
The first is to earn back the money spent, and the second is to look around to see if there is anyone who, as mentioned in the storybook, bets his property on his family in a hurry.
Don't tell me, there really are some bastards like that.
But there was no one in sight, no matter how wild the talk was, like a goddess descending to earth, no one paid any attention to her.
In the end, Yamazaki didn't come to the table, but Shandai walked around, winning and losing, and got a lot of money back.
At the last calculation, the net profit was seventy or eighty taels of silver.
Yes, accept it as soon as you see fit and leave.
…
After returning to the small courtyard to take a bath and sleep, Yamazaki went to Renshi again on August 18th the next day.
Although there were many people who put in bids and sold their names, they didn't find the right ones and could only leave disappointed.
Afternoon.
Yamazaki and Shandai led their horses onto the boat, crossed the lake, and left the somewhat sad and crying city.
Yamazaki stood on the deck of the large ship and looked back, because he really couldn't bear to see those people.
But that has nothing to do with him, it is the emperor's business first.
This is the emperor's country and the city of the officials. They are not in a hurry. Why should he be in a hurry?
There are many stories in the novel about the kind of knights who meddle in other people's business, are labeled as such, and are eventually hunted to death, leaving their entire family without a burial place.
A very simple truth is money.
In this world, except for the emperor, no one can be the richest man in the city.
Money, where does it come from?
There is only one possibility, grab it.
Because only wealthy businessmen would not engage in such kind of loss-making business, let alone expose their wealth.
Don't dare to show it!
The heroes of the green forest and the scum of the world are watching eagerly. If you show your wealth here, they will be watching you.
As a businessman, how many shops and caravans do you have at home? How can you take care of them?
Therefore, once someone thinks that they have too much money and wants to use it to help others, the spies will definitely investigate.
Just like Shanjiabao and Duanfu, I believe the court saw that there was something wrong with the money, and I believe the spies are also investigating.
It's just that I didn't expect the brothers and sisters to have that kind of strength, and because they were secretive, the incident didn't come to light.
