Lu Zheng tasted the old wine known as the best in Yizhou. It was indeed clearer, purer and more fragrant. Although the alcohol was not strong enough, it tasted really good, which showed that there was still good wine in Da Jing Dynasty.
After having had enough wine and food, Lu Zheng and Duan Changzai walked slowly out of the restaurant. Duan Changzai asked with a smile, "I will take you around the city and give you the two A confidante brings some gifts."
Duan Changzai knew about Shen Ying, and he was responsible for the Peach Blossom Temple matter. This time, a female doctor neighbor with good deeds appeared. Judging from the description in Lu Zheng's words, it must also be the dish in his bowl.
Lu Zheng, "..."
Okay, you are right, so Lu Zheng nodded, "Then I'll trouble Brother Duan."< br />
"You're welcome, you found and killed the wizard, but it saved us a lot of effort. We in Yizhou should take the lead in this matter, and Baiyun Temple should also be rewarded. Today you will be the one to suppress Yisi. "Guests, what's the trouble?"
Duan Chang pointed in front of him, "Li Ji Cloth Factory has its own dyeing shop and female workers. The fabrics produced are delicate and the embroidery is exquisite. You can Grab a few and take them back."
"Okay." Lu Zheng nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked into Li Ji Cloth Factory. The cloth shop occupies a large area and the business is booming. Many small cloth merchants from all over the country come to purchase goods.
Lu Zheng looked around while waiting and found that the cloth shop produced brocade, yarn, silk, satin, etc., and the quality was better than those in Tonglin County, so he waited until a waiter came to greet him. Coming up, Lu Zheng waved his hand and pulled out five pieces of cloth of various colors and asked people to take them to the inn.
…
After walking out of Bufang, Duan Changzai led Lu Zheng to continue walking east. As a result, after taking only two steps, he saw an old monk walking slowly in the crowd. When walking, if you meet passers-by, you should put your hands together and salute, and ask for alms.
Ten steps later, Lu Zheng faced the old monk.
"Amitabha!" As the Buddha chanted, the old monk stopped and rushed to Lu Zheng and Duan Changzai with lowered eyebrows and bowed heads. He put his hands together and saluted, "The old monk would like to ask for a copper coin to cast a golden body of the Buddha as a donor. Pray for blessings and wish the benefactor good health, peace and joy in this life, and bliss in the West in the next life."
Lu Zheng looked at the old monk carefully and saw that the old monk was wearing a worn gray robe with several patches on the top and bottom. , thin body, withered face, drooping white eyebrows, and weather-stained face.
It’s just that the straight figure, clear eyes, and clear speech indicate that... although he is old, he is not yet stupid.
Duan Changzai took out a copper coin from his waist and saw the edges of the old monk's hands coming together and stretching forward like a bowl. Then he put the copper coin in the old monk's hand.
After hearing what the old monk said, I also saw that Duan Changzai only gave him a coppermoney. Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, and he took out a copper coin from his wallet and prepared to hand it to the old monk.
However, the old monk did not accept it. Instead, he first put the copper coins given by Duan Changzai into his sleeve, put his hands together and saluted, "Amitabha, thank you so much."
Then he said it again He stretched out his hand and took the copper coin from Lu Zheng, "Amitabha, I am so grateful."
After finishing speaking, the old monk stepped aside to let the two of them pass, continued walking slowly, and bowed with his hands together when meeting people. "Amitabha! The old monk is willing to ask for a copper coin to cast the golden body of the Buddha..."
Lu Zheng looked back at the old monk, followed Duan Changzai and continued to move forward. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but He asked in a low voice, "Brother Duan, does he know the details about the old monk?"
Duan Changzai shook his head and pointed out, "It's okay to be curious, just ask around. It's not a good intention to explore other people's details when you have nothing to do."
Lu Zheng turned his eyes and nodded.
……
“It’s a magic trick! It’s a magic trick!”
“It turns white rice out of thin air! It turns white rice out of thin air. Dear readers, please pass by and take a look. Take a look!"
When Lu Zheng passed by, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the ground with a straw mat in front of him and a wooden bucket, a wooden plate and a pottery bowl at his hand.
First, the middle-aged man showed the barrel in his hand. There was only the edge of the barrel but no bottom. Then he placed the barrel on the mat, covering it with his hand while holding it in the other hand. The clay bowl reached into the barrel.
After ladling out, take out the pottery bowl and find a thick bowl of white rice in the pottery bowl.
"Okay -" cheers started.
The middle-aged man smiled, poured a bowl of rice into the wooden plate, then reached into the wooden bucket and scooped out a bowl of rice.
In this way, after a while, there was a large pile of rice piled on the wooden plate. There was so much rice that the wooden barrel could not even fit in it.
After the wooden tray was full, the middle-aged man picked up the barrel again and displayed it from side to side. It was still the barrel with only an edge and no bottom.
“Cai——” The applause was thunderous.
The next moment, the middle-aged man put down the wooden bucket, and poured all the white rice in the wooden plate back into the wooden bucket. Finally, the wooden plate was empty, and the middle-aged man raised the wooden bucket again, still It's the bottomless barrel.
“What a trick!”
“Thank you for your support! Thank you very much!”
The middle-aged people stood up and gathered around with wooden plates. Walking slowly with the crowd, asking for a favor.
For a while, someone left, someone took out money, and scattered copper coins jingled into the wooden tray.among.
Turning to Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng took out ten copper coins from his wallet and gently threw them into the wooden plate, "Wonderful, watch and enjoy!"
"Thank you for the reward!" He glanced at Lu Zheng, and the middle-aged man sang loudly with a smile on his face.
…
Arriving at a bookstore, Lu Zheng became interested and went in with Duan Chang to browse, “I don’t know that the books in Yizhou Prefecture are better than those in Tonglin County. Is it a lot?”
“More is definitely more, but it’s probably useless.” Duan Changzai shook his head and said.
Lu Zheng looked around and saw that although this was indeed the case, he still bought a few novels that were not available in Tonglin County as gifts from Liu Qingyan.
…
Along the way, Lu Zheng bought some snacks, preserved fruits, bamboo and wooden toys, and finally stopped at a music store.
"Brother Lu can also play the piano?" Duan Changzai was quite surprised.
"I understand a little bit." Lu Zheng smiled and nodded, and then walked into the piano store.
Duan Changzai clasped his chin, and was very surprised in his heart. Xindao Lu Zheng is not only good at Taoism and martial arts, but also has great literary talent. Now it seems that he is also proficient in music theory?
At such a young age, he knows how to order everything. Could it be that some great master reincarnated his soul after his body died, and then rebuilt his craft again, right?
"This young master, is he playing piano?"
Seeing that Lu Zheng was wearing a long gown, elegant and majestic, and accompanied by a strong man beside him, he obviously had an extraordinary status, so The shopkeeper of the piano store hurriedly came over and received him personally.
"Do you have a good piano?" Lu Zheng asked.
"There are, there are, please take a look!" The shopkeeper led Lu Zheng to the side of the store, where there were more than a dozen lyres of different styles placed on the wooden shelves.
"Look, the shop specializes in lyres. The people who make the lyres are all old masters with decades of experience. This phoenix-tail qin is made from Fengqi wood in Fenghuang Mountain, Yaozhou. The sound of the lyre is exciting. This fallen-leaf piano is made from Baizhang pine in Yangzhou. Its sound is far-reaching. There is also this one..."
" He was eloquent and eloquent. In the blink of an eye, six or seven pianos were introduced, and Lu Zheng listened. He had a confused look on his face.
But...
"Would you know if the piano is good or not by trying it? Can I get started?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Of course you can!" The shopkeeper saw Lu Zheng looking at the Phoenix Tail Qin, so he carefully moved the Phoenix Tail Qin from the stand and placed it on the low table aside. This is a place specially used for piano testing, "Please!"
