Zhao Chuan accepted the last lesson and suggested that Deng Ninzhi and Han Lingyu buy some gifts to share with everyone.
The two agreed.
Zhao Chuan is an amateur when it comes to buying gifts, Deng Niazhi knows how to choose, and Han Lingyu just follows the advice.
Zhao Chuan asked Han Lingyu to buy some for him and said he would go back and give them away.
Han Lingyu said: "Brother, don't worry. I will buy it for you first if you like it."
Several people walked around and spent a lot of time choosing gifts.
Men are most afraid of following women shopping. After following for a while, Zhao Chuan said he wanted to take a break and drink tea.
After a moment of rest, Zhao Chuan asked casually: "Have you bought Sister Shu Lan's?"
"I've never chosen one, but it's hard to choose a gift from Sister Shu Lan..." Deng Ninzhi said.
"No matter what it is, buy some first and then buy it when you find good ones. Only when Sister Shu Lan is happy can I be happy. When I am happy, you will naturally be happy too." Zhao Chuan said.
Deng Ninzhi said: "Don't worry, we will buy it carefully later."
After the break, a few people continued shopping.
The three of them entered the bronze shop.
This place is worthy of being a copper-producing place. There are many kinds of copper utensils everywhere, but most of them are not convenient to carry. There are many kinds of bronze mirrors.
Deng Ninzhi and Han Lingyu selected a dozen.
There were more maids at Han Lingyu's place, so I bought more.
Next is the weapon shop.
Deng Ninzhi and Han Lingyu said they didn't want to see it. Zhao Chuan said that this place had been a battleground for military strategists, so it wouldn't hurt to go in and have a look.
The three people turned around and saw swords, guns, swords and halberds everywhere. When they looked up, they were all on the shelf.
Zhao Chuan was not interested, but he saw an interesting soft sword. It was about three feet long, black and shiny, as thin as paper, with a hollow ball-shaped copper handle. It could be tied around the waist and straightened instantly.
The store said that this is made of special material called black iron. Although this weapon cannot stab, it can be cut. If trained well and strong enough, all copper and iron weapons will be damaged.
After hearing this, Zhao Chuan tried it and was very satisfied. He smiled and said, "This thing is really fun. Let's buy it for Nian Zhi."
When the boss heard this, he smiled happily and quickly said that this thing was not cheap, costing one hundred taels of silver.
One hundred taels?
Zhao Chuan was a little surprised.
The boss laughed and said that the reason why it is so expensive is because the material is an exotic material with unusual properties. It is not common and it is believed that even those who are destined can get it. If you don’t believe it, you may not see it next time you come back...
Zhao Chuan played with the soft sword, thought about it and said, OK, I'll take it.
The boss even smiled brightly and immediately said: "This sword has not been sharpened yet. Does it need to be sharpened?"
Zhao Chuan said: "No, just for fun, why bother cutting it."
The boss wrapped the soft sword and asked if he wanted to see anything else.
Zhao Chuan turned around and looked around, and happened to see another pair of darts, black and shiny with a dark light.
When the boss saw it, he immediately took it off: "This man has good eyesight! The material of this dart is the same as that of the soft sword. It is also made of black iron. As long as the strength is enough, it can penetrate gold, silver, and copper armor, but the price is higher!"
Zhao Chuan took the Xiu Biao and held it in his palm. It was not big but not light. It was dark and shiny, with a cold air coming through it.
"Not bad, I'll give it a try." He casually threw the dart test board against the wall. It bounced back with a "ping" and fell to the ground.
The boss hurriedly stepped forward and picked it up: "Master, this is not how darts are thrown."
The boss held the dart in his hand and flicked it, and the dart stood on the wooden board with a sound.
Zhao Chuan sneered: "Yes, let's go home and practice!"
"Oh, okay, thank you for the honor, young master, but this show escort... I just said the price is higher." The boss's eyes showed a somewhat embarrassed look, and he glanced at Zhao Chuan's face from time to time.
"Tell me! How much silver?"
A pair of small show darts, even if they are made of the soft sword material just now, are just the black iron that your boss said. If you have such a big soft sword, can you afford this small show dart?
Zhao Chuan thought for a moment and decided to ask for it too.
"Three hundred taels!" The shop owner held out three fingers.
His uncle's, is it that the smaller it is, the more expensive it is?
Before Zhao Chuan could express his doubts, the boss began to explain: "This black iron is divided into female parts. If one is thrown out, the other one will also be able to sense it."
The shop owner said, throwing a dart far out the window, and then handed the other one to Zhao Chuan and asked him to hold it in his hand.
Zhao Chuan held it, and after only a moment, he felt that the dart in his hand began to get hot.
"The other one will get cold if it is kept at a certain distance." The shop owner said again without waiting for Zhao Chuan to speak.
"Good stuff!" Zhao Chuan blurted out in surprise.
Zhao Chuan didn't say anything and immediately paid the money.
After the three of them went out, Deng Ninzhi asked seriously: "Husband, you are really good at pretending. Do you really not know how to use a dart?"
Zhao Chuan winked and smiled faintly: "My husband has learned nothing else over the years, but how to pretend!"
Several people went to Lishan Pharmacy again.
Li yam is one of the specialties of this town. It is a good product in the pharmacopoeia. It has a long history and excellent texture. It is famous for its long strips, thick stems, thin skin and fine texture.
It is not only a tonic for fitness, strengthening the spleen and stomach, but also a Chinese medicinal material for treating rheumatism and waist and leg pain, comparable to ginseng.
Deng Ninzhi and Han Lingyu each selected a few boxes.
Here the golden leaf plum tea grows in the high mountains.
It is said that the longevity of Zheng Simiao, the King of Medicine, who was more than a hundred years old, was related to his long-term drinking of this tea.
Because it contains nutrients needed by the human body and can treat various elderly diseases, Golden Leaf Plum Tea is the leaves of the vine plant Golden Leaf Plum. Both the leaves and flowers can be used as medicine, and it is a rare and valuable medicinal material.
Zhao Chuan bought two boxes to give to Uncle Min.
Unconsciously, it was past noon, and several people felt a little hungry.
They were looking for a tavern to have something to eat when someone suddenly stopped them.
"Sister, do you want to eat? Come in and have something to eat!" A voice came from in front of a shop on the street.
Deng Ninzhi was stunned. A little alien girl she had never seen before appeared in front of her. She had a snow-white face, surprisingly big eyes, wearing a long skirt and a pair of embroidered boots.
Deng Ninzhi asked her curiously: "What's your name?"
"Arguli, the food in our store is delicious." The little girl boasted.
Deng Ninzhi looked back at Zhao Chuan and said, "Brother, let's go in and have something to eat?"
Zhao Chuan smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, just eat something!"
A few people walked in with their feet up.
After entering, I saw a deep-set man and a burly, wealthy woman looking up and saying hello: "Sir, please sit inside!"
The three of them sat down. Han Lingyu looked around and said, "They are from the Western Regions. I don't know how they ended up here. I have seen them before. I heard adults say they are white people from the Western Regions."
White people?
After hearing this, Deng Ninzhi couldn't help but take a few more glances, turned around and whispered: "Ah, it's amazing. Look how beautiful that girl is! She looks like a puppet in a puppet show."
While several people were discussing, a tall and wealthy woman came up to ask questions.
"Do you three want a piece of our restaurant's special hand rice?"
Zhao Chuan said "Okay!" Since I have never eaten in a restaurant like this, let it go and try it.
After a while, the woman brought a big plate.
The white flowers on the plate are rice, which contains shredded carrots, mutton, etc. It smells greasy and fragrant, but there are no bowls and chopsticks.
Deng Ninzhi stared at the rice for a long time, and waited for a long time, but no one brought chopsticks.
"Brother, how do you eat it? Do you really eat it with your hands?" Deng Ninzhi asked.
Zhao Chuan looked around the store.
"Look at people, don't they just grab their food with their hands?" Zhao Chuan gestured with his head.
Upon hearing this, the two women looked embarrassed and looked around with disbelieving eyes.
Zhao Chuan saw that the two of them were afraid to eat, so he smiled faintly, followed the example of others, pressed three fingers on the rice beside the plate, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.
"Well, not bad, it smells so good! Eat it quickly!" Zhao Chuan praised it.
Is this how you eat it?
Deng Ninzhi looked at Zhao Chuan and then at the other people in the store, feeling a little dumbfounded.
Deng Ninzhi hesitated for a long time. Seeing Zhao Chuan take a few more bites, she also tried to grab a piece and put it into the mouth of the cherry.
"Hey, Ling Yu, this is really good, try it!" Deng Niazhi said hurriedly after eating.
Han Lingyu saw that Deng Ninzhi had taken several mouthfuls, and hesitated for a moment. After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she also tried to grab some and put it into her mouth.
But Han Lingyu didn't eat it, just held it in his mouth.
Seeing her frown, Zhao Chuan began to urge her to eat.
At Zhao Chuan's urging, Han Lingyu ate some.
At this time, Deng Ninzhi stopped eating and just smiled. Han Lingyu stopped eating when she saw it.
Zhao Chuan smiled and said, "Don't want to eat? Then let's wash our hands and pay and go!"
Deng Ninzhi sighed and said, "It's delicious, but it tastes a little bit different and I can't stand it!"
"How about, if there are noodles over there, let's have a bowl each!" Zhao Chuan pointed to the other side.
The so-called dough is rolled out into a very thin round dough as big as the mouth of a bowl, with slits cut in the middle, mixed with old soup and chopped green onion as seasonings. Although this method is simple, it is quite delicious.
The three of them each ate the noodles and felt really full now.
After eating, the three of them continued shopping.
In the evening, the three of them finally got tired of walking.
The three of them walked around for a day and returned to the inn exhausted.
Han Lingyu said: "Hurry up and wash your hands again. Your nails are full of oil. It's so embarrassing!"
The three of them were scratching and scraping in the basin, messing around.
Zhao Chuan remembered something and asked Deng Ninzhi: "Why are you laughing when you are eating rice?"
"When it was sister Ling Yu who took action to grab the meal, the way she suffered was so ridiculous!"
When Han Lingyu heard this, she immediately said: "If you eat with your hands, I'll let you spoil it!"
"You only eat it to save your brother's face. What the hell do you care about me!" Deng Ninzhi said with a smile.
Zhao Chuan said nonchalantly: "Hey, do as the Romans do when you're in the country. You shouldn't pay so much attention when you go out!"
After dinner, nothing happened. The two women felt bored and said they didn't want to stay here anymore and had to leave.
Zhao Chuan was helpless, so he went to ask the waiter for information.
I learned that it is only a few dozen miles from here to Luzhou City. If I leave now, I can reach it in less than two hours and won't waste my night's rest.
It's better to go to Luzhou. I'm used to walking at night anyway.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Min didn't want to walk at night, but the owner asked, so he had no choice but to pull out the car and set off.
Not long after setting off, Han Lingyu fell asleep.
It's just that the road surface was so bad that Han Lingyu wanted to take a nap, but the bumps made her feel miserable.
Zhao Chuan was distressed and wanted to sleep with her in his arms. Although Han Lingyu was very eager, Deng Ninzhi was present and could not hide her face.
"What are you afraid of! We are all my wives, who is laughing at who?" Zhao Chuan said with a smile.
Deng Ninzhi also smiled and said: "Although I am a husband, I am still a man. Why don't I hold my sister to sleep."
Zhao Chuan hugged Han Lingyu in his arms: "What do you mean, stupid wife? You want to take advantage of my new wife? I have to hold my wife by myself!"
That's it, Han Lingyu closed her eyes. Anyway, she was asleep whether she was asleep or not asleep. It was up to Zhao Chuan and Nian Zhi to see whatever they wanted.
Zhao Chuan looked at Deng Ninzhi and said, "My dear wife, how about you sleep on my shoulder?"
Deng Ninzhi had no choice but to do this.
Zhao Chuan simply pulled one of Deng Ninzhi's hands over, held it in his palm, and pressed it against Han Lingyu's body, hugging her tightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
The three of them each have something to gain, so time flies.
Unknowingly, we arrived at Luzhou City, because without asking, there was already a sign on the roadside saying: "One mile ahead, there is a fifth-grade inn. Welcome to stay."
