Chapter 162 First Hearing (400 monthly tickets plus updates)
In the middle of the night, Zhao Zhen became thirsty. Seeing Cheng Wan'er sleeping soundly next to him, he quietly got up and went to the ground, went to the table and drank two bowls of tea, feeling relieved. One breath.
Maybe Zhao Zhen poured water and the noise was louder. Cheng Wan'er sat up on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Mr., are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Madam, after a good sleep, the smell of alcohol has gone away. I am only a little thirsty, so I will rest now." He poured another glass of water and drank it.
Zhao Zhen put down the cup and looked towards the bed while taking advantage of the moonlight shining in. Cheng Wan'er's upper body was leaning on the bed, her hair draped behind her head, and the quilt slipped off at some point.
In the moonlight, a red bellyband came into view. Zhao Zhen lifted the quilt and got in. Cheng Wan'er also lay down.
Holding Cheng Wan'er's limp body, Zhao Zhen began to touch randomly with both hands. Suddenly, there was movement in the room. Downstairs, Qingzhu and Danju faintly heard: Mr. A lighter one... Exactly:
Wrown in sorrow, eyebrows pale. Thin and timid, with a low voice. Humming and tutting, moaning without illness.
On the second day, Zhao Zhen got up refreshed. The four of them were still boxing and eating as usual, and then the four of them were busy.
Zhao Zhen went to sit down in the hall. Yang Lin and Shi Qian came to say goodbye first. Zhao Zhen told them: "Two brothers, be careful along the way."
The two of Yang Lin said goodbye, and Zhao Zhen watched them take their companions and leave the Baishi Manor.
Afterwards, Liu Tang and others also came to say goodbye. Wu Yong, Jiao Ting and others also gathered the sergeants, and they all gathered at the pier on the north side of the manor. Everyone boarded the boat and sailed towards their respective destinations.
Zhao Zhen and his party arrived at Xiaoliang Peak and spent ten points of luck to disperse the fog around Qinglong Mountain. With a sound of drums, led by Jiao Ting and others, the sergeants entered Qinglong Mountain along Xiaoliang Peak. Zhao Zhen stood on Xiaoliang Mountain and looked at the direction of Haoshan Mountain from a distance. Ruan Xiaoqi also led people to sail north to Qinglong Mountain.
As Wu Yong said, it is not difficult to capture the peaks of Liangshan. Most of them are villagers who are in a corner. It is rare to get these villagers to accept the rule of Liangshan. Zhao Zhen is not worried about this. After all, these villagers are also protected by Zhao Zhen after receiving the food. Whether it is wild beasts in the mountains, robbers, or various changes in the mist, there are people to resist it, and farmers only need to farm with peace of mind.
Seeing the two groups of sergeants entering Qinglong Mountain, Zhao Zhen said hello, boarded the fast boat, and flew back to Baishi Valley. Dong Laodao, Guang Hui and Zhu Gui were already waiting here. Zhao Zhen thought about it and brought one more Zhu Gui. After all, it is always good to have someone to accompany him when he stays for three months in a row.
The Nanshan Hotel is still open as usual, with the smiling tiger Zhu Fu watching over the production of wine and vinegar. Because of the bell, it has become much simpler for the father and son. After all, wine and vinegar come from the same source. They are all made from grain, and the fermentation process is the same. To make wine, you need to age the wine, and to make vinegar, you add a vinegar koji to make it sour.
Zhu Fu has seen two kinds of wine currently available in Liangshan County. One is the [Yicheng wine] brought by Zhong Rang. It has a warm entrance and a soft and smooth taste. One is [Huajia Baijiu] which was later brewed based on the recipe Yang Lin bought. The small wine is refreshing and refreshing, while the large wine is mellow.
Zhu Fu also bought koji to make wine in Yishui County, brewing and selling it himself. The brewed wine is Yishui County's local wine [Yimeng Mountain Wine]. Rice, glutinous rice, and wheat are used as the main raw materials. It is fermented in mud ponds and aged in caves. It has a rich cellar aroma, mellow sweetness, and a long aftertaste. A batch of this wine was also brewed and stored in the cellar.
Let’s say that Zhao Zhen and others returned to the main world. They first placed the live fish they brought, and then took out the imperial edict with the names of Guang Hui, Zhu Gui, and Dong Laodao, and stamped it with the Tianzheng seal. , prayed, and burned it along with the paper money.
Then Chao Gai was called, and they were talking in the four-person hall. Zhao Zhen recounted the changes in Liangshan County during this period. Chao Gai was incredulous when he heard that he was serving as a county captain. Chao Gai Said: "The owner of the village, when it was merged into Liangshan Township, it was just to allow the households in Dongxi Village to survive. I never thought that it would become a county now. The rising tide has lifted all boats, and we have become officials."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Chao Gai, don't say you haven't thought of it. None of the brothers here would have thought of it. Although it is just a Jisi County, compared with me and others, it can be considered a fortune."
Guang Hui, Zhu Gui also nodded in agreement, and Guang Hui said: "Jisui County is just right, and there is no one to control us. There are fewer flies and dogs in the camp. We just follow the instructions of the owner of the village. This will keep us safe and our brothers will be at ease." Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Chao Gai will go back to take office with his brother in a day or two. Guang Hui and Zhu Gui will be stationed here."
Chao Gai nodded and saw everyone having lunch together at noon. Zhao Zhen introduced Guang Hui and Zhu Gui to Tian Lei, and asked these two to garrison Bailiu Village in the future, leaving the three of them behind and letting Chao Gai lead them to familiarize themselves with the situation in the village and make the handover. Zhao Zhen rode a Shanghai horse and went to Nanshi's house with the carriage arranged by Tian Lei.
When he arrived at the door, he saw Lu Zhuocheng sending people out of the store and meeting Zhao Zhen. Lu Zhuocheng's eyes lit up and he said: "Zhao Erlang, I was just looking for you. I have some business with you in the past few days. "With that said, he stepped forward to pull Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen waved his hand quickly and said, "Lu Sanlang, please allow me to come in and say hello to my wife, and then I'll talk to you."
While talking, Tian Xingping and others also heard Zhao Zhen speak and came out. After seeing the gift, he first helped the driver to unload all the things Zhao Zhen had brought. Some of the fish was sent to the store and most of it was sent to the pond behind.
Ji Xuan heard that Zhao Zhen was back and went out to greet him. Seeing Zhao Zhen directing a few guys to move the bags from the car to the kitchen, he asked: "Husband, what is this?"
Zhao Zhen said: "I saw that the second-level pearl rice at home was almost finished. It was just right. My fantasy world has newly produced second-grade rouge rice. I brought ten shi. This rice can strengthen the body, especially for those with weak constitutions. I will send one shi of rice to my father and let Zhao Yan eat it for three months."
Ji Xuan listened and agreed. Zhao Zhen saw that Ji Qingwan, Ji Minghan, and Ji Minglian seemed to be absent, and asked: "Qingwan and the others are in the fantasy world?"
Ji Xuan shook her head and said: "Many rare treasures were sent from the border of the mist. Qingwan took the team of soldiers left behind by her husband and went to the inner city with the two sisters Minghan and Minglian to participate in the auction."
Zhao Zhen asked strangely: "I have never heard of any auction. Who organized it?"
Ji Xuan said: "Husband, not everyone can participate in this auction. There are blood relatives in the family. Only those who serve in the foggy border can be invited to participate."
Zhao Zhen was very confused about the behavior of his four-bedroom wife and concubine's parents. He only met her once on the day of the wedding and never saw her again. What Xuan meant was that they all went to the border of the fog.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Madam, what is the situation at the foggy border?"
Ji Xuan shook her head again and said: "Husband, I really don't know. I only heard my mother say that the border of the fog is very dangerous. If you don't reach the third level, it will be difficult to survive."
Zhao Zhen said: "In that case It’s so dangerous, why go there?”
Ji Xuan frowned and said, “My mother only said that when we reach the third level, we will know it, and she won’t say anything else.”
Zhao Zhendian. He nodded, seeming to realize that he had indeed never seen many third-level or above professionals in Chengwu County. There are few records in the college's books, and the teachings are never detailed. They all seem to be avoiding something.
Zhao Zhen no longer hesitated, told Ji Xuan, and went to Lu Zhuocheng's store ahead.
