Chapter 92 Golden Melon Seeds
Everyone sat around under the big tree, and Bao Xu said, "I have never seen gold mining like this before. This goose is really a treasure."
Everyone listened. Laughing, Song Wan is a sincere person. After hearing this, he said: "Brother, don't dislike it. I smelled it last time. It doesn't stink. It's golden and makes people happy."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, if you like it, go back I'll take ten with you and enjoy it yourself."
Song Wan said coyly after hearing this: "Master, I haven't made any achievements in coming to the village. How can I ask for anything more than good wine and good food every day?"
Zhao Zhen said: "The loyalty between you and me is worth nothing to just a few playthings. After a while, we will melt more and give each brother ten as a reward."
Everyone was happy after hearing this. Yang Lin said: "Everyone in the world says that the owner of the village values righteousness more than wealth. The rumors are true. Mengchang is truly a man of the world. It is not in vain to get to know such a good man as a high official!"
Bao Xu laughed after hearing this and said: " Thanks to Brother Jiao Ting’s introduction, I now just practice martial arts and train sergeants every day. Eat big mouthfuls of meat, drink big bowls, and eat fast.” Zhao Zhen said: “Yes, it was still a village at that time. It was a time when there were few soldiers and generals. First, Jiao Ting and Han Bolong sent messages to the banquet, and finally the current prosperous situation was achieved. One day, King Chao Tian also recommended a hero from Anle Village in Huangnigang. He was called White Rat Bai Sheng. He also had martial arts skills, which he could use for reporting secrets and exploring the fog. He just waited for Brother Shiqian to come back from their activities in Fucheng. , go to Nanluo County and invite Bai Sheng to come and get together.”
Everyone laughed and chatted for a while. Yang Lin heard this and thought about it: "The owner of the village is so benevolent and righteous. I have been to Nanluo County and walked through Huangnigang many times. There are many capable men in the village, but he can't show it." I'll come. If I don't go there, it will still be a credit. Then I will recommend two more people to show my ability."
Yang Lin said: "Master, I have done it many times. Hebei and Shandong are also familiar with the gangs and lakes. Huangnigang was also very noisy in the past few days. I have been to this place many times. There is now a restaurant under the hill, called Jiuhaihuajia, and the shopkeeper is a beggar. Although I am not a member of the Jianghu community, I am fairly well-informed. I am willing to make a trip to Huangnigang and invite Bai Sheng. We can set off tomorrow."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Yang Lin has been tired of traveling all the way. I have been sleeping in the open air since I arrived yesterday. I am so tired. How can I bear it? "
Yang Lin said: "Master, brother, I just came here and want to make some efforts and see some merit." Yang Lin asked again and again. Only then did he agree.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, do you need me to accompany you?"
Yang Lin said: "There is no need to accompany you. Huangnigang is more than a hundred miles away and can be reached in less than two days by riding a horse on a misty path. If it goes smoothly, five days of round trip is enough."
Zhao Zhen nodded and decided. Let's leave this matter behind and just wait until tomorrow to send Yang Lin out.
Everyone chatted some more gossip about the activities in the arena. Bao Xu and Song Wan, one of them had fallen into disgrace early, the other had never been around in the arena, and had less experience in the arena than Yang Lin.
Just listen to Yang Lin say: "Brothers, we who are traveling in rivers and lakes have to climb mountains and wade in rivers, and pass through the capital and Chongzhou. Whenever merchants are on the road, they have to rest in the morning and evening. There are two things they cannot avoid: eating leprosy bowls. , sleeping on the bed of the dead."
Zhao Zhen asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Yang Lindao: "As the saying goes, a poor family has a rich life, but when you go out, you don't feel like you are at home. All expenses must be paid for. People who leave their hometown are not just talking about being cheap. They all succumb to reality and keep everything simple, so the food and housing conditions are naturally poor. "You may touch unclean bowls or dirty beds." The sun is setting and the weather is getting cooler. Zhao Zhen and others bid farewell to Bao Xu and Tang Sen and rode back to the village.
Zhao Yuanli had arranged for wine, food, fruits, delicacies, and game to be placed on the table early. When the three of them entered the East Garden, Guang Hui and Chao Gai were already waiting here, talking. Ceremony, everyone sits down.
Zhao Zhen said: "Today I'm celebrating the coming of brothers Yang Lin and Song Wan. Let's drink three glasses first."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank three glasses together, and Zhao Zhen said again : "Brother Song Wan had land skills, so he first served as a patrol in the village and led people to patrol the border every day. Brother Yang Lin was good at horse fighting, so he also made a patrol. After Bai Sheng was invited, he went to the village Select men and horses, train a team of cavalry, and send out sentries to explore the fog.”
Yang Lin and Song Wan heard this and thanked Zhao Zhen.
Just as he was talking, Zhao Yuanli came forward, handed Zhao Zhen a box, and said: "Master, the boxwood box is ready and will be presented today. The gold sand brought back by the master today is also melted. There are 80 golden melon seeds cast, all in the box."
Zhao Zhen took it, looked at it in his hand, and said, "It's well done." He asked Zhao Yuanli to find a few little ones. Bag, grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds from the box, counted 40 seeds, put them in four bags, and handed them to Guanghui, Chao Gai, Yang Lin, and Song Wan at the table.
Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers are also blessed with goose shit. Each of them has ten pills." Several people did not refuse and took it with a smile.
Zhao Zhen handed the box to Zhao Yuanli and said: "Yuanli, please arrange it. Each of the chiefs and deputy chiefs will give ten golden melon seeds. The village chief, deputy village chief, and each workshop manager will each give Three pills.
After that, the rest was packed up and put in the Angelica dahurica for temporary storage. In the future, whenever a good man came to vote, it would be the same as the four-tailed carp. Then arrange for people to go to Kushu Tun every two days to fetch gold sand and go to the blacksmith shop to smelt gold melon seeds for use. "
Zhao Yuanli listened and nodded in agreement.
Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, I heard from the chef that the wine we drank today was made by Zhong Rang and his son in the village brewery. Try them all and give your opinions. I also looked for the secret recipe for brewing in the main world. I found it later and brewed it, so I can compare it. "
Yang Lin had to leave early tomorrow and had three or five glasses of wine with everyone. He apologized and said: "Brothers, I have business tomorrow, so I won't accompany you today." He said to the kitchen I ordered steamed buns and ate them with the food on the table. "Then he got up and went to rest.
Zhao Zhen and the other three drank five or seven more cups and then dispersed. Song Wan rested in the East Garden, while Chao Gai and Guang Hui returned to the White Tower. Temple, Zhao Zhen went to rest in Bai Zhi's house
Bai Zhi came back from the medical clinic today. When she opened the door and entered the house, she saw the pile of clothes on the bed and inevitably put them on again. I tried two outer garments: a turquoise blue ten-piece brocade skirt, a green flash red satin blouse, and other small clothes.
Bai Zhifei is the one who is greedy for vanity. Ever since she became Zhao Zhen's concubine, although her head is not full of pearls and her body is covered with gold and jade, she is also covered with silk and satin. Today she specially dressed up, and it turned out to be: The beauty in the golden house left the imperial garden, and the fairy Ruizhu went to earth.
As the saying goes, tea is the matchmaker, and wine is the matchmaker. Now Zhao Zhen also had three drinks, and Bai Zhi dressed up specially. Before the two of them said a few words, Zhao Zhen carried Bai Zhi to the bed, took off his clothes, and slept together.
