Salt Xiao Fulang

The grass is growing and the birds are flying. The time has just entered April, and Song Xu and his party have arrived at the first important node of this trip, Jingzhao Mansion.

Yangyang and Xiaomei were sent back to their home by them. The trio had an extra Yuanshan, and everything was different.

Yuan Shan is a very thoughtful person.I don't know if it's because he was a slave that he is very sensitive to other people's needs.Jiang Tiantian, who seldom contacts outsiders, can't do this, Xiaochun, who is stubborn, can't do it, and Song Xu, who is more selfish, can't do it.

For example, Song Xu was sitting in the car fighting landlords with Xiaochun and Jiang Tiantian using homemade playing cards.

The three of them were very interested, and Yuan Shan, who hadn't figured it out yet, sat aside and watched, the carriage was driving on a potholed road, and Song Xu's butt hurt a little from being bumped.

As soon as he showed a frowning expression, before he realized it, Yuan Shan handed him a cushion.

It's not that Xiaochun and Jiang Tiantian, who are very afraid of being bumped, don't have it.

For another example, when Xiaochun ran with the carriage, it was a foggy morning.Song Xu struggled to get up, put his head on the window, said he wanted to look at Xiao Chun, but actually dozed off.

Xiaochun used to be tired from running, sometimes he would take a short break before catching up with the carriage.But today it was foggy, and he was afraid that he would lose sight of the car if he was too far away, so he didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shan was sitting with the coachman, seeing that Xiaochun didn't dare to slow down, he took out a bell from the cart, grabbed it in his hand and rang it vigorously, finally Xiaochun was able to catch his breath and was not afraid to lose sight.

After getting acquainted with everyone, he knew the taste preferences and personality characteristics of each accompanying bodyguard.Knowing the hours of their shifts, he even stood up for one of the bodyguards when he had a stomach upset.

All in all, Song Xu felt that Yuan Shan was Nobita's Doraemon, Harry Potter's Dumbledore, Aladdin's lamp, and Tadpole's mother.

He has won unanimous praise from everyone!

Song Xu was overjoyed, feeling that he had a good eye for people, so he advanced his plan of making mahjong.

No longer three missing one!There are four of them!

It's a pity that the carriage is bumpy, playing cards is okay, but playing mahjong is not suitable, so I can only make it first and see.Song Xu was free to carve mahjong patterns with a small piece of wood, and as he finished carving a whole set bit by bit, Jingzhao Mansion also arrived.

The Jingzhao Mansion has 22 counties, and they don't go to the capital this trip, they just need to hand over the goods with Huitong Commercial Bank in Gaoyang County at the southern end.

Jiang Tiantian felt a little regretful, but Xiaochun thought it was okay.The capital sounds interesting, but he doesn't know what the rules are inside. He is afraid that he will bump into someone on the road. That person is a certain third-rank official who is the son of a certain prince and a certain prince... and then tells him that you have dirty me Lose money quickly for clothes.

Song Xu laughed and gasped: "What script did you read?"

Xiao Chun's face was flushed by his smile, where did he go to read the script, isn't this a joke spread in the countryside...

The countryside loves to demonize big cities, but this time they will not witness the truth for the time being, after all, they have something to do.There is always a chance later.

Although Gaoyang County is a county seat, it is as lively as Huaicheng.The flow of traffic and people is very large, and it is a scene of prosperity.

The headquarters of Huitong Commercial Bank is located here.

The manager had already heard about Song Xu and the others from the head of the household, so he treated him as a guest of honor.Even though they were just helping the firm to deliver goods, the Godly Wearing Wear represented the trust of the upper echelon, and it also meant that they would gain higher authority and do more important things in the future.

So Song Xu and his party received a grand welcome from the manager.

In the largest restaurant in the county, jade plate delicacies are served one after another, such as abalone and sea cucumber, monkey head bird's nest, each dish is extremely luxurious.

Song Xu had never eaten some dishes.

Among them, the most popular one is a snake soup.Xiaochun didn't dare to eat it at first, but was stuffed with a spoonful by Song Xu.The snake meat is shredded, and the fishy smell is neutralized by the onion and ginger cooking wine. It is boiled with the chicken soup that has been hanging for a day, and it is served with the top-quality mushrooms and fungus. It is so delicious that you can't wait to swallow your tongue.

Xiaochun took the lead, and everyone overcame their fear and started eating.It is said to be snake meat, but it is just a piece of meat when it is made like this. The more everyone eats, the more delicious it is.

"Brother Song, what a coincidence that you came here! Today we are holding the Flying Apsaras Festival in Gaoyang County, and invited a troupe from the Western Regions to perform on the street. I booked the best seat in the restaurant. Look out the window over there, the dance team We'll be passing by here soon!"

The dance team of the Western Regions?

Xiaochun curiously occupied a window, and poked his head out together with Song Xu.There were indeed people standing on both sides of the road, a red carpet was spread in the middle of the street, and there seemed to be officers and soldiers on duty at both ends.

"No wonder carriages are not allowed to pass today..."

"Hey, isn't it because of the red carpet? It costs a lot of money to be trampled by a horse!" Jiang Tiantian was serious.

Song Xu was speechless, and nodded in agreement.

A crisp bell sounded from afar.The sound of pipa and drums also gradually added in, playing a movement with the style of the Western Regions.The dancer was dressed lightly, stepping forward step by step, stepping on the beat of the drum.

The flying dance is infinitely graceful.In the music, you can hear the yellow sand all over the sky, the vast desert, and the beautiful girl wrapped in red gauze, with a deep and affectionate face.

Jiang Tiantian looked forward from behind them: "Brother Song Xiaochun, do you want petals?"

It turned out that many baskets of flowers were distributed to the shops along the street. As the dancers passed by, the people upstairs sprinkled the petals, adding to the romance.

Song Xu gave up his seat to Jiang Tiantian and Xiaochun. The two were very happy, and finally waited for the people to go far away, and each of them was staring at the window.

"It's so lively..." Jiang Tiantian sighed sincerely, and returned the basket to the manager.

The manager said: "The Flying Dance of the Western Regions is performed every two or three years. This is the origin of the Feitian Festival. Starting this afternoon and lasting for three days, businessmen from all over the county will set up a market in the central open space. , sell some interesting gadgets."

"Huitong Commercial Bank also has territory?"

"Of course!" The manager smiled and said, "We have a whole row of booths. If brother Song is interested, I can give you a seat and join in the fun."

"That's great!" Song Xu was looking for an opportunity to buy his odds and ends, and when the opportunity came to him, he happily agreed.

Those goods have been changed again.

The transportation is not developed these days, and it often happens that the customs and customs are completely different just a hundred miles away.

If it weren't for the fact that the coachman and bodyguard were well-informed, some remote local dialects would be incomprehensible.This also allowed Song Xu's "gadget buying and selling operation" to proceed smoothly.Up to now, he has saved six taels of silver and half a cart of small things in his hands.

Although it is not a lot of money, compared with farming in the countryside, it is still very profitable.And his big head is on the tea side, if the trip goes well, the return of one hundred taels will not be a problem.

However, Jingzhao Mansion is rich, and the further north it goes, the poorer it becomes.Song Xu intends to sell all those gadgets here, and stop buying flashy things.

With Yuanshan here, even setting up a stall becomes easier.

I don't know if it's because this local special festival can increase people's shopping desire, or the people in Jingzhao Prefecture are really rich, but their stalls are sold out in one afternoon.When everyone was eating in the evening, Song Xu weighed his full purse, took out two taels of silver, and distributed half to Yuan Shan and Jiang Tiantian.

"Let's take a rest tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. I've worked hard recently, so I'll give you some pocket money. Let's go out tomorrow and buy whatever you want!"

It was the first time that Yuan Shan received "pocket money" from his master. It was not a high-ranking reward, but full of concern and gave him the right to use it.

He felt hot.

Although Yuanshan is no longer a slave, he can't adapt to the life of a normal person for a while, and has nothing to buy.But Song Xu and the others are kind, if they don't buy anything, will they think that they are indifferent......

The silver in his hand was heavy.He kept holding it in the palm of his hand until he went to bed late at night, and he didn't let it go.

The moonlight was bright and clear, and it sprinkled silver light all over the place. He pointed the silver piece at the window, no matter how you looked at it, it was just ordinary money.

How about buying gifts for Song Xu and Xiao Chun?

Money, if you don't spend it, it's just a stone, and if you spend it, it's called money!

At this moment, Yuan Shan understood the psychology of hand-chopping gangs without a teacher. The "money" that was once just a symbol came alive in his heart.

I will go shopping tomorrow, and I must buy them two very good things!
