The fairy city of the market man

Chapter 31
Shang San'er asked again: "Can the City God know the roots of Qing Niu Guan?"

The City God replied: "His family has not been in the mountain for a long time. More than 700 years ago, a Taoist saw the fossil of a green bull by the side of Dilong Mountain. He stood there to teach disciples and worshiped the green bull. Many practitioners went to see it." Well, that stone cow has nothing special about it, but it is indeed made of natural stone, and it is most like a portrait, even with a nose ring and a stake for tying it!"

"The founder of his family's Taoist cultivation base is not high. There were two ninth-level immortals under his sect, but they failed to advance to earth immortals. Eighth step. After Lu's rise gradually, he took over the mountain sect in Dongshan County for use, and his family could only obey orders. The county guard sent a son to worship Qingniu temple. When the current temple master dies, he may die. take over."

Shang San'er nodded: "No wonder his female crown is actually the maid of the Second Miss! Does the City God know the Second Miss Lu?"

The City God replied: "Among the young masters and young ladies of the Sheriff's Mansion, the Second Young Lady is the one who is most suitable for practicing his family's magic method. I often hear from the servants of the Lu family that our Dongshan County may be a female sheriff!"

As a side branch of the reincarnation of the celestial beings, Lu's practice is also the magic method of the celestial beings.

Hearing the City God mentioning the Ear God, Shang San'er thought of something, and asked: "Master City God, may the other family's Ear God not visit us in Luliu City?"

The City God replied: "Of course! But if we act like this, there will be a gap with other families, and it will be difficult for our ear gods to enter other cities in the future."

Shang San'er waved his hand: "It's irrelevant! From now on, all other families will be kicked out, and only those from Longlin City will be allowed to come in. If the county guard turns against me, he will be kicked out too!"

"to make!"

In the protocol department, when Chen Wu mentioned the trip to Duobao Pavilion, Shang San'er spent sixty leaves to set five good arrows for Tu Zhuang. Granny Chen snorted coldly: "Huh! I sold a five-section shrimp, and the little turtle grandson spent five arrows on it." Half of it is popular, what about the other things?"

Chen Wu lowered his head: "The rest is to buy some miscellaneous goods and food. He went to the city lord's mansion and the quarry without taking me, so my son didn't know what happened! Mom, he said he offended the second and second lady of Lu Lu's family. I'm afraid that this city will be unstable, let's."

"Go and rest, your wife is still waiting!"

"Oh!"

-

After dawn, Shang San'er called Cao Si and the young people of the Tu family to assign tasks.

Tian Yu was on duty last night, Shang San'er didn't want to call him, but he ran over by himself with a smile on his face: "The city lord is back, maybe I have something to order, I will catch up on sleep later."

For a human immortal, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep for a few nights, and he is worthy of his hospitality.

The first one is to distribute food, everyone has already settled down, it is not good to all rush into the city lord's mansion to eat, the grain is distributed to the households, and the meat will come to the city lord's mansion every three days to pick it up, and when the meat in the ice cellar is gone, they will be slaughtered by Tu Zhuang.

Vegetables, melons and fruits can’t be helped. What each family needs, they can get it from the field outside Ximen. There are still a lot of leftover crops, and they will have to grow it themselves in the future.

Cao Si doesn't want the food, but Mrs. Shang won't show her face anyway, so she won't kick him out, so she can eat the big family in the city lord's mansion, and there's no need to do it herself.

He also helped carry water, not for free!
Tian Yu followed Mrs. Shang to distribute the food.

The second one is to mend the statue of the City God. To let the statue’s right hand grasp the black gold stone slices firmly, the easiest way is to pour some clay. This was done by Shang San’er himself, with two helpers, Cao Si agreed. Add another butcher boy.

The third one is to prepare for brewing, requiring people to clean the wine vats, pools, steamers, wine vats, etc. of the Xizheng Street Winery. There are all wine making tools in it, but they must be cleaned before they can be used.

The cleaning work was handed over to the girls of the Tu family, and a few men helped carry water.

After the three things are divided, they all get busy.

Outside the Town God's Temple, Shang San'er was having a drink, when Chen Wu strolled over again and asked curiously, "What does the city lord do?"

In his impression, he had never seen the city lord working, and it was even more unusual to make mud himself.

Shang San'er went to the Town God's Temple and pouted: "Bring the sword to the City God!"

When Chen Wu stepped into the Temple of the City God, Cao Si and a boy from the Tu family were busy on the altar statue, tying the right hand with a string.

"What is this for?"

Cao Si answered him: "Tie it firmly first, then we can pour mud in! In the early years when we were young, we often went crazy in the Temple of the City God, and many times we climbed up the statues to play. How could we know that if something happened, the Lord of the City God would come out to save us?" Take it easy, you can't lose him."

Cao Si babbled, but Chen Wu's eyes were already attracted by the black stone strip.

It looks like nothing.

He got closer, um, it was indeed a black gold stone!
Let's see how much black gold there is, just like the Youbi Shrimp, the most common and inferior kind of strange thing, they can only be sold for silver, not worth the bamboo leaves of meritorious deeds.

Chen Wu rubbed his eyes.

On the front, it seems to be full?
What kind of mortal stone in the world looks like black gold stone?

Chen Wu couldn't believe it, he couldn't help jumping onto the altar, and reached out to touch the black stone strip.

Damn, it's not a mortal thing!

Thinking that Cao Si was in the way, he pushed away lightly, walked around behind the statue and looked behind.

Also. It is also full of black gold!
"Uncle, what are you going to do?"

Because of his status as an immortal, Cao Si, who didn't dare to get angry when he was pushed away, asked softly.

Chen Wu didn't care about answering him, so he jumped off the altar and ran away.

This prodigal city lord!I have to tell my wife to go!
Although the Tu family boy is a human being, he doesn't know a few strange things, let alone Cao Si, he thought it was just a rare black stone stick, and was baffled by this Uncle Chen's behavior.

The statue is still in good condition, you only need to fix the stone strip on the right hand, then fill it with clay, and wait for a day or two to cool naturally, it is not complicated.

At the wine shop, Tian Yu, the daughter-in-law of the Tu family, Mrs. Shang also went to help after dividing the food, and it took a whole morning to wash it all out.

After lunch, Shang San'er prepared to make wine.

This winery used to think that well water was not good for brewing wine, so it took mountain spring water from outside the west gate, and it needed a lot of water to make wine.

He didn't command the old dog, and took Tian Yu and other young people to carry water outside the west city.

Cao Si followed him a couple of times, seeing the siblings, he didn't want to go again, and just sat in the winery to act as a director.

After running back and forth seven or eight times, the water was enough. Because of the need for cooking, Tian Yu and others ran to carry firewood.

This time not only Chen Wu, but also his wife and daughter Chen Meier, Tu Zhuang and Tian Yu's father were also present to watch Shang Saner make wine.

The rotten bowel wine of the City Lord's Mansion, in terms of spiritual energy alone, is really the best wine, but unfortunately the smell is really strong, I don't know if he can make a good one.

Tu Zhuang is the most active, he is greedy for alcohol.

He used to be a general, but he didn't like to drink, so he was still called a general?

Shang San'er doesn't use koji to make wine, and when he saw the condiments out of the two bags, Tu Zhuang laughed first.

There are so many strange things, they are not cheap to look at.

Cao Si was also dumbfounded, he couldn't recognize any strange things other than the Youbi shrimp, but among those mortal things, only rock sugar was cheaper, other ginseng and large jars of honey were all expensive, and the white fungus was given by the city lord of the Zhou family. Only the master of the mansion had to taste it, and Cao Si only knew it when he showed it off in the family!
After taking out [-]% to [-]% of the things, Shang San'er started to push people away: "Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, the exclusive secret recipe, it's not easy to look down, you can taste it when it's brewed!"

There is a sentence from Sanyou on the wine side, "This recipe is finely brewed, and you are not afraid of outsiders guessing based on the raw materials."

More importantly, for the first time brewing wine, he can only think about it according to the formula, claiming to be fine, if he messes up, will the face of Master "Friend Wine" not be ashamed?

After Tu Zhuang and others left, Shang San'er called out the double insurance again: "Master Chenghuang, old dog, no one is allowed to peek or eavesdrop here!"

After everything was arranged, he took out the last few odd objects and weighed them carefully one by one, not daring to make any mistakes.

Then, a fire was lit under the stove in the winery, and some raw materials had to be steamed first, which took a long time.

After steaming, remove the fire, and then put them into the wine tank in order.

In addition to the ones that need to be steamed, there are also some that need to be chopped and mixed according to the proportion. He has asked his wife to make it after lunch and will deliver it in a while.

To brew Qionghualu, the order of ingredients and the mixing ratio must not be wrong. This is the confidence that Sanyou gives to his disciples and is not afraid of others' speculation.

The cost was not low, and the process was complicated, forcing Shang San'er to be cautious. He was a bit clumsy, so he had to do it slowly.

When the old lady brought the mixed ingredients, the steamer was just steaming here.

This is what I did from noon till dark.

All that's left is to wait for fermentation and see how the wine looks in a few days.

In the VIP room of the Protocol Department, Empress Hei Jinshi heard about wine making again, and Granny Chen gritted her teeth again: "Although the little turtle has no skills, he can't stop his backing and family background!"

Feeling aggrieved, I thought that the little turtle would come and have another fight.

But not only on the day of brewing, but also for the next five days, Shang San'er didn't come, so she could only hold back every day.

There is a big deficit in the outside world, the wine making should be done, and the rest can only wait. Of course, Lord Shang is busy fishing for shrimps.

Relying on dog meat and Taoist clairvoyance, he caught a five-section shrimp on the first day, which is the reason why Shang San'er dared to stay short.

On the second day of brewing, Shang San'er took a few cakes made by his old lady and went fishing for shrimp in Liujie Mountain early in the morning, preparing to spend the whole day.

I only caught two hundred feet, but all day long, I didn't catch a single one, and I cut off a lot of skin and flesh from the old dog.

Go back to the city, go to the wine shop to see the changes in the wine tank, take the fishing hooks that will be used tomorrow from the grocery store, look for Cao Si to talk nonsense, and then go back to the city lord's mansion to rest.

The dog with him sooner or later cut it too shabby and shameless. The next day, thinking that crickets, earthworms, and grasshoppers could also be used as bait, he first went to catch some outside the west gate, and then put them on cakes and went to Liujie Mountain. .

Cao Si already knew that Shang San'er was fishing again, but when he got up, Shang San'er had already left the city, and he was alone, and he dared not and did not want to go to Liujie Mountain again.

Fourth Master Cao is not short of money now, so he will go there if he thinks his life is too long, what if he bumps into the magic smoke?
Shang San'er has a good dog, but he doesn't.

Using worms as bait, as long as there are pylori shrimps under the passage, they must be eaten, but when lifting the thread above, it is faster to loosen the pliers or cut the thread, and not greedy.

Shang San'er tried for a long time, not to mention five-section shrimp, but he couldn't catch four-section shrimp.

There was no other way, so I had to change back to the short line of Baizhang and catch shrimps with less than three knots first.

At dusk, I finally caught a prawn, but it could only be sold for silver, so I peeled off the shell and ate it at home.

On the third day, I cut the dog meat and fished another two hundred feet. I was already very anxious. I used the old dog to test the black chess pieces and warmed the chessboard. Dogs were cut off a lot of meat, but still no harvest.

Still the same the next day.

At this time, Shang San'er began to feel annoyed: "Many times, I could have picked up four-sectioned shrimp, but I was greedy and only wanted to catch five-sectioned shrimp. The thread was uneven, so I was scared off!"

When the wheel lifts the thread, keep a constant speed, and the shrimp below will not react so violently.

Shrimp with four knots is much more difficult to catch than shrimp with three knots, and the price gap is also large. I have already heard in Longlin City that the Duobao Pavilion with four knots harvests about [-] leaves. If you can catch two or three, it will be enough to make up for the shortfall.

Before going to bed, I sipped my wine, repented, and thought: "I haven't caught any prawns in the past two days, it's a trivial matter, and I even left my homework, and the master is even more annoyed when he sees it!"

When using clairvoyance, your own virtual eyes will appear on the target, expanding the field of vision.This is one of the master's best celestial arts. Even the celestial body has an extra eye. It has already demonstrated its magic on the night of accepting apprentices. As the only personal transmission, it is responsible for the great karma of guarding the city. Shang San'er does not believe in the three friends Before leaving, he didn't leave clairvoyance on himself, and stared at his family.

Market habits have been hard to change, and other behaviors must not be careless.

Think about the failure of shrimp fishing in the past few days: "It's like betting on money when gambling. You can't easily put all your bets on it. If you lose, you have no chance to make money. And in the eyes of the master, fishing shrimp is just a trivial matter, and it is more important to practice homework." !"

Thinking like this, I will feel better when I go up the mountain again, put the hook through the dog meat, and before the prawns take the bait, I will try to make sunspots with the old dog again.

Counting patience, but this day is still not harvested.

The next day, if you keep your mentality, you will succeed, and you will catch two in a row, one with four knots and one with five knots.

"It can be seen that what the former public school master said is reasonable, haste makes waste, everything is ready, and good things will come naturally!"

But look at the old dog, he has been severely cut these days, and he will have to wait at least seven days to recover from his injuries before he can go up to Liujie Mountain again.

When the old dog with the appearance of a bone fork descended the mountain, Shang San'er whistled.

Qionghua Niang is about to be brewed, and I can go out to sell shrimps soon, but last time I was cheated in Duobao Pavilion, and the county guard's mansion was also offended, so Shang San'er didn't want to go to Longlin City. When entering the east gate, he first asked the City God : "Master City God, besides Duobao Pavilion, are there any merchants who specialize in rare treasures?"

The City God answered him: "There is still a Qizhen Pavilion, which used to be the largest business within six or seven thousand miles around Dilong Mountain. Later, Duobao Pavilion came over. Although his family's business can't compete, there are still many semicolons left. The nearest one is in the northeast. Wuma City, which is thousands of miles away, does not belong to Dongshan County."

More than 1000 miles away, it’s not too far to ride an old dog on the road, Shang San’er decided to go there to sell shrimps when he went out, and visited the ninth-level immortal of the Wuzhu family that the city god mentioned last time, and took out the hob meat Ability, let alone move a few to Green Willow City.

I caught two prawns in one day, so that the haze of the past few days cleared away, and I was in a good mood. When I passed by the door of the concierge, I turned in, quarreled with the dead old woman, and showed off the two prawns I caught.

If you are in a bad mood, you quarrel; if you are in a good mood, you also quarrel.
