After eating and drinking, he got rid of the tool man Zhang San. Li Zhengyi just took a brief look around the street and returned to his small building.
I asked when I first came back, and it’s less than half an hour before Xu Shi, which means I’m going back and forth at eight o’clock in the evening.
The ancients would have gone to bed at this point, but for Li Zhengyi, it was the time when the nightlife began.
What's more, I just ate two bowls of mutton and two pieces of bread, and I couldn't sleep no matter what.
He returned to the house and lit the lamp. Under the flickering light, he suddenly noticed several wooden sticks standing behind the door.
Remembering that Zhang San said before that he was good at using sticks, he took a relatively handy stick to the backyard and prepared to try it out.
A few days after the fifteenth day, the moon was shining brightly in the sky, illuminating the quiet courtyard fairly brightly.
The yard is about forty or fifty square meters, which is enough for him to perform. Li Zhengyi held the tough wooden stick tightly with both hands, took a deep breath and smashed it forward...
It didn't take long for him to throw the stick aside, and without saying a word, he began to do push-ups and leg raises, which he was relatively good at.
Just because when I was playing stick before, I felt good at first and danced like a tiger.
But just when he was proud, the stick in his hand accidentally hit the wall and collapsed. I almost hit myself on the head, so I had to give up for now.
Li Zhengyi didn't know how long he practiced in the evening. Anyway, after feeling tired, he washed his body and went upstairs to rest.
After knowing that it was the Water Margin world, he was not so worried about safety issues for the time being.
After all, the current society is relatively prosperous and stable, not to mention that he has used things to securely cover the front and rear doors.
He could adapt to sleeping on a wooden bed, but the soundproofing of this ancient house was really not very good, and the creaking sound made it difficult for him to fall asleep for a while.
Fortunately, the sound from next door went away just as quickly as it came. After touching the generous kitchen knife beside the pillow, Li Zhengyi gradually fell asleep peacefully.
"I'm selling cooking cakes~"
"Jujube cake...delicious jujube cake..."
On the first day after traveling through time, he unexpectedly slept in. Li Zhengyi was woken up by the sound of hawking outside.
The light that shines through the thin white paper on the windows illuminates the room brightly, and the ancient style of the various furnishings is seen more clearly than yesterday. There was a traditional charm that made him feel novel.
After getting up and washing up, Li Zhengyi no longer cooked by himself, but went to the stall where he had mutton soup last night.
When he arrived, he found that the stall was indeed open, and there were other food sellers around, but he didn't immediately get tired of the old, and sat down directly to order a bowl of mutton soup.
"Brother Li, get up."
"Hey! Do you think Brother Li has become handsome again?"
"As expected, she is even fairer and tenderer than the girls in the 16th and 17th centuries..."
I was enjoying the delicious food when I was suddenly disturbed by these familiar people around me.
Although he could also understand that these crooked-looking guys didn't have much knowledge, the main reason was that to them, his appearance was indeed as high as a three or four-story building.
But can't you see him eating? All of them were so expressionless.
Last night, during my conversation with Zhang San, I learned that I was quite a respectable person on this street, so I didn't need to be too pretentious, so Li Zhengyi just hummed a few perfunctory words and ignored him.
While he just lowered his head to eat, the words of the diners around him also reminded Li Zhengyi that although they looked similar, there were still some differences between him and Li Er.
Since he was wearing it, where did the original Li Er go? And after he returns, will Li Er still exist like this?
Li Zhengyi didn't have any reliable ideas for a while, and more and more people were talking about his changes. He had no choice but to finish the mutton soup in the bowl in a few mouthfuls, throw down more than ten pennies and leave quickly.
Breakfast was not expensive. A large bowl of mutton soup and two flatbreads cost less than 20 yuan in total.
Thinking of the ten dollars and a few pieces of silver still in the cabinet, even if he ate like this every meal for a month, it would be more than enough.
Anyway, it wasn't his money that was spent, and he couldn't take it back, so Li Zhengyi didn't feel bad at all.
After eating, he didn't go anywhere else and walked straight towards the blacksmith shop he saw yesterday.
It's okay that he didn't receive the mission. Now that he has to complete the mission, he might get into conflicts with others during the process. Just using a few sticks to defend himself is not enough to reassure Li Zhengyi.
The streets became more lively at this time, with people coming and going and bustling with people.
The shouts of various vendors mixed with the voices of people around, making it very lively.
On the street, there are gentle scum wearing long shirts and holding fans, farmers wearing short clothes, and sellers carrying burdens squeezing towards crowded places.
Occasionally, he would meet someone who greeted him. No matter who it was, Li Zhengyi would just give him a cold nod and pass by.
He didn't know these people anyway, so it would be useless to say more.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"
When we arrived at our destination, before we even entered, we heard the clanging sound of iron.
The iron stove is in a semi-open shed, and there are two strong men with bronze skin sweating away their sweat.
There was an uncle in his forties sitting on a chair next to him drinking tea. He stood for a while and heard someone else calling him Master Liu before he stepped forward.
Seeing Li Zhengyi coming, Master Liu put down the teapot and stood up and said, "Li Er, what are you doing here?"
Unexpectedly, this person was also an acquaintance, and seeing that his attitude was not as respectful as Zhang San's, Li Zhengyi slightly restrained his steps of not acknowledging his relatives.
But think about it, after all, Master Liu is not young. Although his hair is a little gray and he has a short beard, his body is stronger than many people in their prime.
What's more, there are two young and strong apprentices nearby, how can they please a young man like Li Zhengyi?
"cough……"
Just as he was about to explain his intention, he was interrupted by Master Liu's words.
"Have you been lazy lately to enjoy your happiness? Why do you act like a little girl? This is not a problem that we craftsmen should have."
"If you don't save more money while you are young, when you are old..."
Judging from the situation, there may be some friendship between the two parties. But Li Zhengyi didn't come here to listen to his preaching, so he said directly: "I'm here to buy something."
Sure enough, businessmen always pay attention to "customers are the most valuable". When he said this, Master Liu immediately stopped and invited him into the shop.
After hearing his explanation of his purpose, Master Liu said a little strangely: "Aren't you good at using sticks? Why do you want to buy a simple knife from me?"
"Besides, you don't know that the Song Dynasty prohibits private possession of weapons, right?"
ha? In Water Margin, isn't there a simple sword that almost everyone has in hand? Why can't it work here?
"Haha, but it's not impossible, as long as you don't say you sold it from me."
Seeing Li Zhengyi's expression, Master Liu thought he was surprised because he couldn't buy weapons.
I thought to myself, that shouldn't be the case. Li Er is half a man in the world, so he shouldn't know the ropes. He was just teasing him when he said he couldn't buy or sell.
Although it is a bit strange, business must be done.
"Your father and I have some friendship. Although he is gone, I will not fool you. If you buy this simple knife for other people, you will have to pay extra. If you use it yourself, forget it."
