As I walked to the blacksmith shop, I smelled the fragrance wafting from the basket. I couldn't help but take out one, broke it off and stuffed it into my mouth.
Well, it's really crispy and fragrant. It's delicious when eaten as it is. It would be perfect if there are pickles.
Chou Chou saw how delicious she was eating in the space, so he couldn't help but take it directly into the space.
It was even better at eating, eating spicy meat jerky directly. Of course, it didn't forget to put a few packets into the basket for Qingyan.
While eating, she told Qingyan to buy some more before leaving so that they could be used as dry food in the future.
Qingyan also thought so, "Well, it's good with dried meat. Let's order some dishes to take away at the tavern at noon. We just have a food box.
By the way, I asked the guy about the situation here, so I won’t stay here any longer. I think it’s better to go to the big city to hear more. "
Suddenly seeing the shop next to her, Qingyan stopped the car.
It was a fur shop, and there were many leathers hanging or stacked inside. Although they were all tanned, some smell would inevitably come out.
Chou Chou saw it and said, "What's wrong? Do you want to buy fur? We can do it ourselves without spending unnecessary money."
Qingyan: "We don't know how to make it."
The prey we hunted before, whether it was goats or hares, were all prepared by Uncle Dashan and the others. Although they had also seen the process of preparing the products, it was quite troublesome. They had to wash and scrape the grease. , but also need to be tanned and soaked continuously.
It's still a simplified version, and it takes several days of work, but the tanned skin still has a bit of flavor.
Like the rabbit skin she was laying on now, if she hadn't been extremely tired and had no choice, she wouldn't have just lied on it. It was not only smelly but also shed some hair, which was incomparable to the furs of later generations.
The fur in this fur shop is obviously professionally tanned. The fur here is smooth and smooth. There are several pieces of fur that look like fox fur. The fur is brown-red and very long.
If she were asked to let Chou Chou hunt foxes for their skins, she would not be willing to do so, because foxes are different from rabbits and goats. In her mind, rabbits and goats are both raised for food, even if they are wild. , and I don’t feel any difference.
But others like foxes, eagles, leopards, tigers, etc. are a bit reluctant to do so.
Although they were all animals and there would be no harm if they were not bought or sold, the fur was already in the shop, so she couldn't help but want to buy it.
The reason why most women like fur is, on the one hand, because of the wealth it represents. After all, most of the prices are very beautiful, and the biggest point is that women have little resistance to furry fur.
As long as you are not allergic to fur, you will like it whether you wear it or hold it in your arms, which is why fur is so popular among women.
After hearing her words, Chou Chou also remembered that they really didn't know how to do it. Even if they could follow the same example, they still had to kill those animals first.
Judging from the wide variety of products in the shop, if they were asked to hunt them, they would probably have to hunt them until the end of the Year of the Monkey. After all, although it has spiritual consciousness, there is no guarantee that there will be talents in every mountain.
Except for rabbits and goats that live in groups, some with good fur mostly like to live alone. Just like tigers, there may be only one on a mountain, and the same goes for other beasts.
Since there is something for sale, then buy it. They are not short of money anyway. If it is not possible, there is still a gold mountain.
Suddenly, the little leopard arched his head in the satchel, and Qingyan asked Chou Chou in confusion, "What's wrong with having money?"
It's probably not because it's hungry. It ate a lot in the morning, and it won't eat its second meal until noon.
Chou Chou communicated with the little leopard and said to Qingyan, "It drank too much water in the morning and wants to pee."
Qingyan looked around and saw that there was no place where the little leopard could go easily. Although there was an alley, she couldn't guarantee that no one was inside, and she couldn't park the car at the intersection. What else would others think, let alone Looking around curiously, the little leopard will be easily exposed when the time comes.
He raised his head and looked at the end of the street. It wasn't very far away, so he simply asked Big Bear to speed up. He actually speeded up and headed towards the end of the street.
There seems to be an open space outside at the end of the street. I don't know what it is used for. As long as there is no one and there is grass, the little leopard can hide.
Big Bear sped up and pulled the carriage forward. It took about two or three minutes to arrive.
Only then did I realize that it turned out to be a pond. To be precise, it was a puddle, just a piece of stagnant water. There were no lotus flowers, and there were no reeds beside the water.
I don't know if there are any fish in it. The water looks very clear, and I don't know where the water comes from.
He couldn't care less, so he stopped the carriage directly in the open space by the water, jumped out of the car, took the little leopard out, and placed it on the grass under the cover of the carriage.
The little leopard was not in a hurry to urinate as soon as it fell to the ground. It first sniffed here and there, just like a puppy.
Qingyan smiled and said: "If you have money, you are a leopard, not a dog. Hurry up, someone will be here soon."
The little leopard heard the voice, looked up at her, opened his mouth and whispered "ouch", as if in response to her.
Then I found a low-lying place, squatted down and peed. After I finished, I even dug the soil twice with my fat paws, but it was all dug aside, and the urine was not covered at all.
Qingyan was immediately amused by it, picked it up, patted the loose soil on its little paws, and quickly put it back into her satchel.
Because she saw someone carrying a load coming this way. Looking in the direction of the person's coming, there were faint houses over there that should be a village.
At this time, an ugly voice came from her mind: "There are many human bones under the water, and there is also a big tortoise."
"Human bones!? Bastard? What's going on?"
Qingyan asked in surprise.
"Yes, those human bones must be quite old, there are more than a dozen of them, and that tortoise is quite big, it must be as big as a basin.
Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "It's so big, isn't it already a sperm? Could it be that the bastard cannibalizes people?"
Chou Chou: "Don't be misled by those TV shows. How can this animal become a spirit so easily? Although this world has richer aura than later generations, it is because it has not been polluted by so many heavy industries. In addition, there may be some places that are not polluted by so many industries." It is a place that has been developed and has a treasure of genius, so that is why it is like this.
However, it is still somewhat difficult to turn an animal into a spirit. It takes at least five hundred years of practice to achieve the effect. It does not mean that you can turn into a human form in five hundred years, but you have to open up your spiritual intelligence.
For example, the ones shown on TV are monsters that can turn into human form at every turn. Don’t even think about it if you don’t practice Taoism for a thousand years. Even if you practice for a thousand years, you will still encounter something. It takes great opportunity. "
Qingyan had always wanted to ask something, and now she happened to talk about it, so she asked: "Then you and Xiangxiang can't turn into human form? You have been together for not only thousands of years, but tens of thousands of years."
Chou Chou replied directly: "Yes, if we return to our heyday, we can directly transform into human forms and change at will, but we can't do that now. The current energy is too weak, and the size can only become larger or smaller.
It's just that in the past thousand years, neither of us has reached our heyday again, because every time we are almost recovered, we will meet each other and then start the next battle.
Severely injuring the other party, then transforming back into a child form, or going directly to retreat for healing, and being reborn again or the love words of "rebirth" are still heard from them and they say no and take a look. It has been repeated this time, and it has not recovered until now. "
Qingyan had heard from her parents that the reason why Xiangxiang's dimension made a contract with her mother more than thirty years ago was because the injury was too serious this time, so she went back to the dimension to start over again.
It's not that they have rejuvenated, but that they have directly changed generations. Dang Kang and Zhu Yan cannot leave any descendants. When the previous generation dies, the next one will be reborn in heaven and earth. When they reach a certain age, they will be inherited by the previous generation.
Just like a monk re-cultivating his martial arts, it has always been the same one, so they have complete memories of the previous generation.
At this time, the middle-aged man carrying the burden had already walked up to Qingyan and looked at her several times, his eyes looking strange.
Gu Youliang was not attracted by Qingyan's beauty, but rather wondered why she was standing by the water. If there wasn't a carriage next to her, he would have thought that the girl was seeking suicide.
Qingyan had previously blackened her face with ash from the bottom of a boiling vat, making it look a bit dirty. She then used a charcoal block to trace her eyebrows thicker. Although her facial features were still there, they were definitely not as beautiful. On the side.
Although he didn't know her, Gu Youliang couldn't help but remind him: "Girl, if you have nothing to do, you'd better stay away from the Bastard Bay. Be careful of slipping and falling. Many people have died in this bay. "
"Wang Bawan?"
She didn't expect the pond to have such a name. Qingyan looked at the shape of the pond. It was crescent-shaped, like a pocket buckled at one end of the town. Considering the big tortoise inside, it seemed appropriate.
But...people often die? Qingyan asked with some curiosity: "Brother, I came from somewhere else to join my relatives, but I seem to have gone to the wrong place, so I don't know much about this place. I just want to see if I can meet anyone and inquire about it." .
Why did so many people die in Wangba Bay? Is there any ghost? "
She looked at the man's honest and kind face, and let Chou Chou take a look at his face and aura. She knew that the other person was indeed not a bad person, so she asked boldly. "
I originally thought about asking the guys when I went shopping. I thought they would not be impatient to explain to her where she was spending money. Now that someone took the initiative to talk to her, it was of course better.
After hearing this, Gu Youliang walked five or six steps away from Qingyan and put down the bag on his shoulder.
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "That was my misunderstanding. I am not from this town, but from Gujia Village. If you ask me about the people in this town, I really don't know."
Qingyan said hurriedly: "That's not true, I want to go to Tianshui City. I probably went in the wrong direction and ended up in this town.
No one I met on the road seemed to know where Tianshui City was. I wonder if the elder brother knew the location of Tianshui City? "
Gu Youliang shook his head, "I'm sorry, I haven't traveled far since I was a child. The farthest place is to the town of Xifeng."
Qingyan was a little disappointed. Although Shuicheng was just using it as an excuse that day, but when she met this person who had never even been out of town, it seemed that she couldn't ask anything.
Seeing the disappointment on the little girl's face, Gu Youliang said with some regret: "Girl, you might want to ask the shopkeeper of the Mijia Tavern. His house seems to be in some city, but I only occasionally deliver food to his house." , I don’t have a close relationship with him, and I don’t know exactly which city it is, maybe it’s the Tianshui city that the girl mentioned, but not necessarily.”
Qingyan nodded quickly and said thank you, "Thank you, brother. Do you know which prefecture or county this Xifeng Town is under? I'm a little confused as I go."
Gu Youliang: "I know this. We belong to Yunling County in Qinzhou, but the county is quite far away from us. Few people have been there, but everyone knows which one it belongs to."
Qingyan was a little curious, "Then what should you do to register your household registration or apply for real estate title deeds? Don't you have to go to the county office?"
Gu Youliang looked at her strangely, "No, we just need to register in the town. We can go directly to Li Zheng to apply for it.
If anything happens, the government will not be alerted. It will be decided by Li Zheng. If there is no serious grievance, no one will go to the government, otherwise he will be beaten to death. "
Qingyan nodded, that's it. She vaguely remembered that people in Yangjiaping seemed to have said that if they bought cattle, fields or houses, they would go to Li Zheng to register.
It seems that this dynasty should not be far away, at least it should not be after the Song Dynasty, because her copper plates can still be used, but they are coins of the Tang Dynasty. They can be used in the Five Dynasties, Ten Kingdoms and Song Dynasty, but not after the Song Dynasty.
After thanking her again and saying goodbye, Qingyan pulled the carriage and turned around and returned to the street.
The first shop on the left was the blacksmith's shop. As soon as the carriage parked next to the door, before she could walk in, a clerk came out to greet her.
"What do you need, sir? Do you want custom-made ironware?"
This blacksmith shop is not as narrow as other shops, but more than twice as wide as other doors. There is also a pergola set up outside, with tables, chairs and benches under the shed.
Qingyan took a look inside and saw that there was a large stove burning very brightly. The whole room was illuminated red, and the sound of tinkling iron could be heard. It was indeed not suitable for guests to enter.
It's okay when it's cool now, but if it's hot, it'll probably be like an oven inside.
Qingyan said to the waiter: "Do you have any ready-made pots and shovels in your shop?"
The man was stunned, "Shovel? A farm tool for digging soil?"
Qingyan thought that she seemed to be cooking with a wooden shovel at this time, so she shook her head and said, "It's not that I was wrong, it's a kitchen knife, an iron pot and a kitchen knife."
The waiter regained his smile and introduced: "Yes, the pots are just big and small. I wonder what kind of pot the girl wants?"
Qingyan: "How big is the biggest one?"
Guy: "There are twelve seals and fourteen seals. This can be customized, and any size is available. However, if it is ready-made, twelve seals are the largest. It can cook meals for more than a dozen people."
It should be similar to the big firewood pot used for banquets in my hometown. That's good. One pot of bath water will be enough.
"Then give me a twelve-seal one, and a four-seal small pot for cooking. By the way, don't forget a kitchen knife. How much money is it in total?"
