[Comprehensive] Be with Ancient Celebrities

The village of Ayu's family is in the south of Kaifeng, north of the famous Zhuxian Town in later generations, and near the present Xianrenzhuang.In modern Kaifeng, if you look at it from a satellite map, not to mention rivers, there are very few lakes, and few forests can be seen.It can be placed in the Song Renzong period more than 1000 years ago [Zhao Zhen (May 1010, 5-April 12, 1063)], it can be valued by the old Zhao family, and it is quite good to be a place in Chengdu.There is no shortage of water sources, no shortage of forests, no shortage of acres, and a proper Central Plains granary.

Although, the endless plain seems to be a bit passive and difficult to defend militarily, forcing the imperial army to use their numbers to accumulate a sense of security, creating an opportunity for Lin Chong to become the instructor of the 80 imperial army.But right now the border is far north of Dingzhou, Yanyun Generation, Kaifeng is quite safe.Besides, for the common people, farming, walking, and doing business in the Great Plains are extremely convenient.Even the distance between towns and cities has become closer, which facilitates the circulation of materials and the coming and going of people.

Look, in less than an hour, the fish could still move, so Ayu went into the town and found a restaurant.Standing at the door of the back kitchen, chatting with the shopkeeper.

"Look, such a big grass carp weighs about four catties, and it's still alive. Shopkeeper, this fish head alone is enough to make fish head tofu soup. How good it is."

Ayu, who has been experienced for several generations, is definitely good at speaking. Seeing that he just called out "brother", he has not said anything else. Ayu has already reported the type of fish, the weight, and the dishes that can be cooked. The shopkeeper didn't know how to interface for a while.what can you sayNot right?Hehe, pull it down, what people said is the name of the dish?That is to tell you cryptically that he understands the market and knows how many times it can be doubled, so don't think about sending someone a few copper coins, understand?

"It's really good, let's do it. Since you are the first to think of me, then naturally you won't be at a disadvantage. Let me give you 8 copper coins at the market price, how about it?"

How about it?It's not good at all. Now it's the Renzong period. In the Northern Song Dynasty, starting from Zhenzong, this tael of silver was equal to 2000 coins, and it was no longer the usual 1:600-1:1000. , and this is still fluctuating around 1000 yuan, the common people can fight.

So, this money is really worthless. The monthly income of ordinary people can reach about 2000 renminbi. You think 8 renminbi can be considered money?But at the same time, the money is quite valuable, because you can drink 10 bowls of porridge in Kaifeng for 5 renminbi, and a bucket of rice is only 30 renminbi. The most important thing is...

"Shopkeeper, I heard people say that the Yellow River carp costs 100 renminbi a catty. Although my fish is a little common, but it is so big, you don't even give 10 renminbi, which is too much difference. More than 30 renminbi Wen... the money for a bucket of rice..."

Knowing that the price of ordinary river fish outside is not very high, I can hold the Yellow River carp and talk, let’s buy it out for 8 renminbi, and say it is 8 renminbi a catty, Ayu, your skin is getting thicker, no The person who saw the shopkeeper was already dumbfounded, the whole person is not well.

"8 texts... where did you get more than 30 texts?"

"That's right, what you said is 8 Wen. Calculated according to four catties, isn't it 32 Wen? The shopkeeper, I have learned to count, and I can't make a mistake..."

"Only 8 texts..."

"I know, I know, hey, I know, I think 10 essays is impossible..."

"One piece, 8 pieces..."

When the words came to this point, the shopkeeper's eyeballs were about to spit out. He just felt that he hadn't had much trouble talking in his life, and staring at Ayu wished he could make a hole.One hand indicated the number eight with the index finger of the thumb, and the other hand snatched the fish. With Ayu barely holding it like this, he almost turned his feet up and drew an equal sign to indicate it.

"Hahaha……"

The big and the small are entangled here. Although it is at the back door, it is not unseen. For example, the few guests by the window on the second floor can really see clearly. The shopkeeper made Ayu so obviously innocent. Adult children are caught in it, and the run is so urgent. Doesn't this Western view make people feel strange?Kindly covering his mouth and pretending to be stupid, he couldn't help being straightforward, so naturally he immediately burst out laughing.

With this smile, the shopkeeper also woke up, looked up at Ayu who had a narrow smile on his face, and looked at the half-dead fish that had been tossed in his hand, and couldn't help laughing himself, annoyed. Looking at Ayu, he said:

"You bastard, if you want 10 points, just say so, tease me like this, see if I will do business with you next time?"

"It's a big deal, I'll come and buy it with you next time."

"Hey, you kid, your brain is not slow, okay, let's do it like this next time..."

"Putting sale" is a popular behavior of the whole people in the Song Dynasty. From small clothes and dolls to large carriages and horses, they all engage in "pumping sale" when they are sold. In a sense, it is an era when entertainment activities are relatively poor. A game for all.Hearing that Ayu invited him to play Pumai next time, the shopkeeper's mood immediately improved, and by the way, he got a little closer to Ayu. This kind of friendship between fellow lovers is really wonderful.

"Here, here you are, 8 Wen..."

"Hey, isn't it 10 Wen?"

"Again? You can buy 7 coins outside, but I didn't bully you by giving 8 coins."

"Shopkeeper, my saliva is also worth money."

"My temper is equally valuable, how about 6 Wen?"

"Okay, I'm young, I'm at a disadvantage, 9 Wen."

"Okay, don't make a fuss, if you make a fuss again, you will die, give me 8 Wen."

"Hey, an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, what a waste of time for an ingot of gold."

……

The shopkeeper's feeling was rather bewildered. After all this nonsense, did he co-author or did he take advantage of it?This is the whole...

"Oh, no, I can't help it, this kid is really interesting."

"Also, you can laugh as long as you laugh, why did you spray wine on my face? My beard is also quite valuable..."

"Stop making trouble..."

After the diners on the second floor listened to the whole audience, it was obvious that the style of painting was also a little crooked, so that Ayu couldn't help but look up for a while, and after just one look, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he snatched After passing the copper plate just handed over by the shopkeeper, ignoring the shopkeeper's jumping feet, he sprinted, pedaled, went up the second floor from the side stairs where the food was served, and came to the edge of the table by the window.

"Brother Zhang, it's you. When did you come here? Hey, if I knew you were here, I would have bought a few more fish. How about it? Let's go to my house for dinner..."

Why is Ayu so affectionate?Because the brother Zhang he was talking about was the cousin of his eldest brother's unmarried daughter-in-law, that is, his eldest brother's cousin, would he be aware of this relationship if he saw it?Even if it's just to support his elder brother, the words must be beautiful.

"You are...ah, by the way, I recognize you, you are the second younger brother of that kid Qin Lei, okay, you kid, you can hide deep enough, you used to be silent, I didn't expect you to be so talkative sharp."

"Hey, isn't it, I want to get some more money to make my brother look better when he gets married."

The ball was kicked, and the people who heard it were dumbfounded again. What did they say?Said he was not good?Wouldn't that negate his desire to make his elder brother's marriage beautiful?This hole was dug, and Brother Zhang, who was not very good at talking, was a little stunned. Fortunately, he was not alone at the table. After the other two laughed, they turned to Ayu and asked:

"Looking at your age, you must be sixteen."

"No, exactly sixteen, your eyesight is really good..."

"Well, let's not talk about this poor-sighted person, you are saving money... you really should be more careful, besides your brother, your own wife is also in a hurry, ah!"

This is to besiege Wei and save Zhao. He wants to use the topic of marriage, which is the most likely to make unmarried men shy these days, as a shield, openly break the topic, and secretly help that surnamed Zhang kick the ball away. This person has a very quick mind.Ayu squinted her eyes and smiled, showing her big white teeth, and walked down the steps cheerfully.

"That's right, all the imports from Tianding have been crowded in the past few years. If you don't hurry up and work harder, your parents will be exhausted."

He was thick-skinned, and he had nothing to be ashamed of. Seeing him like this, those few were speechless for a while, a little choked, and at the same time, he was so moved by Ayu's thoughts of thinking about his parents and wanting to share more. mum.What is emphasized these days is that filial sons have no great evil, and filial people always make people think highly of them.

"Good boy, come on, stop talking nonsense, meeting is fate, come, have a drink."

Don't say anything, you can't say anything, drink quickly, shut your mouth and you will be safe.

There is no need to meet each other's eyes, these three people really took the same countermeasure by coincidence, one pulled the person and pulled Ayu to the stool, one held the pot, and the other picked up a clean wine glass from the next table and put it in front of Ayu .This movement was so smooth that I couldn't believe it was done by three big men.

Of course, at the same time, no one knew that Ayu was also very excited right now.Seeing the so-called Big Brother Zhang, he just realized how well his identity was arranged.Why do you know?Hey, big brother Zhang, that's Zhang Long. Tell me, he's already a relative of one of Kaifeng's Four Gate Gods. It's close to a celebrity or something, isn't it far away?

What's more, do you know who the other two are here?It’s just that he’s out of his mind, and after being brainwashed N times with the headline ‘There’s a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng who can distinguish between loyal and traitorous…’, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao, and Ma Han, should they come out together? -For example, Mr. Bao went out on a grand tour; or in batches, two guarding the yamen, and two coming out to act; since they became the necessary background, there are very few single shots, let alone the strange three people .Unless they came out in a group of two, who could make them follow?

Look, that blue warrior robe, that age of 30 to 8, and that face that resembles Jiao Enjun [-] to [-] percent, what else do you not know?Luck, luck, I sold a fish worth [-] cents, and caught a royal cat. This efficiency...
