[Comprehensive myths and legends] The man with the fox, you are mighty and majestic

Fortunately, before Fan Zhou made this "cruel" decision, Yin Shidan and his friends came in time to send warmth.

One of the couple has extraordinary martial arts skills and the other is fresh in playing. Yin Shidan, a die-hard fan, and his friends who have just become fans said that this trouble is nothing, and the local tyrants have come to be friends with them!

The result of being friends with local tyrants is that there is a big venue, supreme VIP customers, and even costumes and props to be sponsored!

Fan Zhou couldn't help thanking him, accepted the convenience of a big venue provided by the second generation of a certain businessman, accepted a group of supreme VIP customers, and declined the sponsorship of clothing and props. The couple are not short of money, not bad. It's eight cents.

So within two days, the small "Liao Zhai" tea garden in Nanfang moved to Beifang and became a large "Liao Zhai" teahouse.

The original small garden was rented out, so I changed it back to storytelling.When the repertoire is released in the big teahouse, it will be transferred to the small tea garden to talk about it a few times, which can be regarded as adding some fun to those people who cannot afford to enter the big teahouse.

As a result, the couple's family business can be considered to have crossed half a line, so they had to join a new guild.But this time the status of the two of them has risen a lot, not only because of the great influence of the business, but also because they have a group of rich fans.

Unintentionally planting willows, the non-human couple led a group of non-human brothers and successfully broke into the human interior.

There is no need to worry about the inn, the teahouse is also bustlingly opened, and there is a group of local wealthy friends as friends, and there is nothing unsightly to make trouble.

The couple had nothing to do and wanted to go out for a walk. Before they could leave, Housekeeper Hu sent a post. It turned out that the businessman surnamed Chu finally came back before the Dragon Boat Festival. Host a dinner to thank them.

Originally, it was just a matter of lip service, and the actual work was all done by Housekeeper Hu, so the husband and wife didn't have to join in the fun, but Fan Zhou thought that since it was because of Na Jiaer, there was a trace of cause and effect. , it's better to go and have a look.

After Yin Shidan got permission, Chu Weng, who was terrified after hearing what happened at home, exaggerated the abilities of Fan Zhou, Liangnan and his wife. Butler Hu's method, so he echoed again and again.

That Chu Weng didn't dare to be negligent, went out and held a banquet in a famous restaurant in Lintong, and personally posted a post at the door.

Unexpectedly, the legendary "strange man" couple actually came here. Chu Weng was more respectful this time than last time. A large number of spices were given to the couple as a thank you gift.

Fan Zhou was greedy, and always felt that the things on the market were not very tasty. He was really interested in those spices. Although it was easy for them to go to the local area to buy them, it would be nice to have ready-made ones.The couple don't take advantage of others, just buy it according to the market price.

Chu Weng didn't dare to push back too much, because a master has his own reasons for doing things, and he was also afraid of breaking the taboo of a master.

Jia Er was clever, and seeing his father respectful and fearful, he took the initiative to urge his father to tell him what he had seen and heard on the road, so that there would be no embarrassment during the dinner.

Weng Chu punished himself with a few glasses of wine in embarrassment, and he took courage to open up the chatterbox.

In later generations, there is a very respected profession called geographer, and another very enviable profession called traveler.In fact, just looking at the scope of these two professions, almost every experienced trader can write a book.

In order to make a living and make money, they have traveled more than thousands of miles.

Chu Weng first talked about his experience of going to the southwest.

The commercial road from Lintong to the southwestern border is difficult.

Originally, the straight-line distance between these two places is not that far, but there are many obstacles in the middle, so we can only take long detours.After leaving Lintong, you must first cross the South River.The current of the South River not far from Lintong is still slow, even if the water surface is wider, it is still easy to cross.

After crossing the Nanshui River, you have to detour to the capital Ruitian first, because the source water is a rough and wide river from the beginning to the end. The widest part of the water can't even see the other side, and only a few places are relatively narrow. , can be used for people to cross.The section of the river outside Ruitian City can be said to be the most suitable.

There is also a ferry that can go straight after crossing the South River, but it has to cross several continuous mountains in the middle. The unknown dangers in it make people daunting, so most people choose to go to the capital, and they can also go to the capital first. Sell ​​some goods.

It is also a long way to cross the Nanshui River to the capital city Ruitian. For safety, try to bypass the deep mountains and dense forests, and it takes nearly a month to walk in the middle.

Then cross the South River again, and it took a few days to risk crossing the river before finally reaching the southwest boundary.

Fan Zhou sighed.

Everyone envies that a businessman can make a profit ten times and a hundred times, but they don't know that this business is also a desperate business.

Hearing Fan Zhou's laments, Chu Weng suddenly felt a sense of confidant, and for a moment he forgot that this was a "strange man" with strong spells in front of him, and vomited bitterness while pouring wine.Jia Er was at the side, at first he was a little embarrassed, but later he heard all kinds of difficulties and dangers that his father encountered on the way of business, natural disasters and man-made disasters. Father, simply unfilial.

Yin Shidan was by his side, although he felt sympathetic when he heard what Chu Weng said, he still remembered that this was a reward banquet, and it was outrageous to make the atmosphere so sad and desolate, so he answered the conversation carefully, taking what Chu Weng said He turned his head to the beautiful scenery, delicious food, anecdotes and anecdotes he had seen and heard.

That Chu Weng was not stupid, he realized that he had lost his composure, so he hurriedly made amends and punished him with wine, then changed the subject and started talking about the customs and customs of various places.

Chu Weng is a businessman, of course he has good eloquence, and his narration is so vivid that Fan Zhou is a little ready to move.

Speaking of anecdotes, Chu Weng really witnessed one, and thinking about it now makes him sweat.

That year he went to Yangping, the northern capital, to do business.

To go to Yangping, you have to cross the river, and the Pu River is not the transition.

The Puhe River is the most dangerous of the three big waters in Daqing. It is said that there is a species of aquatic product called Zhupolong in the Puhe River. poultry.

People say that it is the water spirit in the waterfall river and should not be provoked.But there is still a boldness to grab a taste of the meat.

At that time, several merchant ships crossed the river at the same time, and the owner of one of the merchant ships somehow caught a pig dragon, and after he caught it, he showed off and tied it beside the boat.Chu Weng and other people on the boat advised the boat owner to let the pig and the dragon go quickly, for fear of causing disaster, but the boat owner refused to listen.

As a result, when the boat reached the middle of the waterfall river, the tied pig dragon broke free from the rope and jumped into the river, and then there was a big wave in the river without warning.

When Chu Weng said this, his face turned blue when he recalled the scene at that time, and he quickly took a sip of wine to calm himself down, "The waves were several feet high, and they roared like beasts and rushed straight at our boats. Come here. We all thought that this time it was time to bury our lives at the bottom of the river. We didn’t expect that after the waves subsided, only the boat of the boat owner who had caught Zhu Polong was capsized. The rest of the boats were safe and sound. Waterfall River The water was so fast, but the crew members of the overturned boat were all rescued, only the owner of the boat could not be found, probably he was caught by that pig dragon and buried at the bottom of the river."

Fan Zhou found it interesting.

He had heard of Zhupolong, and even in his time, people still called alligator by this name.The Chinese alligator was a rarity in his time and was known as a living fossil. It was rare to see and very precious.

I just don't know if the piggy dragon in this world is a Chinese alligator.

Fan Zhou became interested, and decided to turn around and take the strong man to Puhe to find out.

After the banquet, Fan Zhou also took away the huge gift from Weng Chu, and only picked a few specialties from various places to leave a message, and even praised Jia Er, asking Chu Weng to find someone to teach his son, don't delay the son's future.

After hearing about his son's actions, Chu Weng also felt that his son was a good material, so he was determined to train him well. Maybe he could rely on his son to change his family in the future, so he wouldn't have to do the drudgery of being a merchant.

After getting a large amount of fresh spices from the southwest, Fan Zhou dragged Liang Nan to identify them one by one. Liang Nan itself is equivalent to an encyclopedia of plants, which is very easy to use.

Fan Zhou is not very good at cooking, at least he knows how to eat. He has eaten countless dishes in various dinners, and a skilled cook often only needs to give a few pointers to learn from the old and bring forth the new.

So soon, all kinds of dishes and snacks seasoned with new methods appeared in Fan Zhou's inn tea garden.

Although Southwest spices are expensive and rare in Lintong, some wealthy people can still afford them, but they didn’t know that there are so many uses, and some spices can even be used for food supplements. The evaluation of the couple has also improved.

Seizing this opportunity, Yin Shidan began to half-truthfully tell his friends that the Kopna couple are actually not ordinary people, but "strange people" with extraordinary abilities. In a mansion that has been haunted for so long, how can the subordinates know so many legendary stories, and tell them in detail, as if they had personally experienced it.

What's more, after Jia Er concealed the part of the strange things in the family that hindered his reputation, he publicly called the couple as benefactors, and praised the wonderful methods he had seen with his own eyes.

There were different opinions for a while, and the couple immediately became the topic of discussion in Lintong City.

Half-believing and half-doubting, those who were jealous because of the couple's recent publicity and making a lot of money also suppressed their original thoughts and decided to wait and see for a while.

The couple ignored these things. After tasting the fresh delicacies, the two of them ran to the bank of the waterfall to watch Zhupolong with great interest.

The Qing Kingdom has a vast territory, and the climate varies greatly from place to place.The area south of Puhe River and west of Nanshui has a more pleasant climate, not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer.After crossing the Puhe River, it will be very different. The four seasons are distinct, and the sun has already started to become fierce just before the Dragon Boat Festival.

The water of the Puhe River is violent and often floods, so there are no big towns on both sides of the Puhe River, only some people who live by the water still live on both sides with fear.

Along the way, Fan Zhou and Liang Nan met many ragged people.

There are also beggars in Lintong City, but in comparison, even those half-begging people who rely on playing, playing, playing and singing in Lintong City are better than those who are homeless but starving all day long. people are much stronger.

A farmer has worked hard for a year, but the harvest depends on the sky.Often a flood will cause countless families to be destroyed and displaced.

Today's government orders are clear, but there is still no way to deal with natural disasters. In addition, when the forest grows, it is inevitable that there will be a few bad birds. When encountering a county magistrate who ruined his house or something, the people will have no way out.

After going through troubled times, Liang Nan has already cultivated a cold heart.Although Fan Zhou has not lost his human nature, he also knows that he does not have the ability to help the world.Not only did he not, but the emperor often couldn't do it either.

Fortunately, this is not the case everywhere, and there are always better places to live.

The couple found a small town called Qiushui to temporarily settle down.

One of the crossings of the Fall River is in this town.Most of the young and strong people in the town are fishermen or boatmen. With the merchants and tourists coming from south to north, Qiushui can be regarded as a big town.
