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. It's a good thing for you that you actually went 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 my clothes on."
"What does it matter? Just keep it on. Go quickly."
"Yes Yes."
Having said that, as Yamazaki walked over, he could still feel the dissatisfied looks and even snorts from some of the female heroes in the arena.
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 better to have sashimi, cut into thin slices, put on a big plate, and pour strong liquor 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 taste of the liquor will mediate the smell of fish and blood, making the fish fillets more delicious.
Not to mention the knife skills, the meat 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 the taste is just the taste of raw fish mixed with strong liquor.
For others, sprinkle some vinegar powder, or add grated ginger, or soy sauce powder to give it a unique flavor.
…
A big herring weighing nearly three kilograms was slowly tasted, and lunch passed. (Gujin is 1500 grams, which is the weight of Bajiu City Jin)
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 and took a nap against the tree.
In a blink of an eye, the sun turned to the west.
The anxious business travelers have already left quite a bit, while the less anxious business travelers 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 around hundreds of miles, you have to go through here.
The city is quite prosperous, but the silt flooded by the water is still there, making it look somewhat embarrassed.
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's 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 impressive.
…
Yamazaki and Shandai moved directly into the flower house and asked for a small courtyard.
Not counting food, bathing, etc., the rent for one night was ten taels of silver, and only a pot of tea and four plates of fruits were given.
Yamazaki and Shandai put away their things and stood facing each other, laughing and helping each other put on fake beards.
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.
…
It is said 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 ate, I lost thirty taels of silver just to order.
I didn’t ask for wine or girls. In Shandai’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 bit 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, waiting for tonight's guests.
Whoever spends more money belongs to her.
Yamazaki looked at it carefully, but didn't see it clearly. It felt like 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 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 the storybook says, 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.
Yamazaki didn't come to the table in the end, but Shandai went around and won a lot of money.
At last count, 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 courtyard to take a shower and sleep, Yamazaki went to the market for a stroll the next day, August 18th.
Although there were many people who put in bids and sold their heads, they didn't find the right one and could only leave disappointed.
Afternoon.
Yamazaki and Shandai led their horses onto the boat, crossed the lake, and left this sad and bleak city.
Yamazaki stood on the deck of the 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, so why is he in a hurry?
There are many stories in the novel about the kind of knights who meddle in other people's business and then get labeled as such. Finally, they are hunted to death, leaving their whole 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!
Green forest heroes, the scum of the world are all watching eagerly, if you show your wealth here, they will be watching you over there.
As a businessman, how can you take care of how many shops and caravans you have at home?
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 that the brothers and sisters had that kind of strength, and because they were secretive, the incident didn't come to light.
