Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 28 Tobacco leaf shreds, the price is better than silver

well?
Is there a well in the house?

You know, this is the second floor, how could there be a well?

With doubts, King Wu walked into the small room, and sure enough, he saw Murong Tong lying beside a "small well" made of snow-white tiles. The water source is clear.

"Father, there is something strange here. How can we dig a well in the house?" Murong Tong held up a puddle of water with both hands, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, "Well, there is no peculiar smell. The well in the house should be able to drink directly. of."

With that said, he took a sip.

"How about it?"

"Father, it's delicious, not salty, just like mountain spring water!" Murong Tong said happily.

Wuzhou is adjacent to the East China Sea and has abundant water resources. You can drill a well by digging a few meters in any place, but the disadvantage is that it is shallow and the water is salty, with too much salt.

Hearing this, King Wu also rolled up his sleeves, walked over to hold his hand, took a sip, and nodded: "That's right, it's sweet and clear, it's good water."

At this time, the young man walked into the box, saw that the two had disappeared, and called out.

King Wu and Murong Tong walked out.

"My lords, this is a bottle of 'monkey wine' and a tael of shredded tobacco as a gift from our shop. You can enjoy it slowly, and the rest of the dishes will be served later." The waiter put a porcelain jug on the table.

Murong Tong pulled the waiter in the inn, pointed to the hut and said, "You guys, how can you still dig a well on the second floor? Where does the water source connect to?"

The waiter was taken aback, looked at the small room, and said with a speechless expression: "Guest officer, that's not a well, it's a pail, also called a toilet, and it's specially used for going to the toilet."

"Ok?"

King Wu and Murong Tong were stunned.

"Going to the toilet?" Murong Tong's face was a little ugly.

The waiter in the shop smiled slightly: "Yes, you two come with me."

King Wu and Murong Tong looked at each other, as if thinking of something, their expressions were extremely ugly.

The three of them came to the hut, and the waiter pointed to the pail made of snow-white porcelain, and said, "No, if you feel uncomfortable in your stomach, you can sit on it to go to the toilet. After you're done, you can pull this switch, and the water will automatically flush. Poop down."

As he said that, the waiter in the shop personally tested it again and pulled the switch.

"Shh-"

There was a booming sound from the buckets hanging above the hut.

Wu Wang and Murong Tong both looked like they had eaten a fly. Murong Tong endured the nausea, but felt his stomach was overwhelmed, and hurriedly threw up on the toilet.

The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, that's the case. Many customers who get dizzy from drinking want to vomit. It's like this."

King Wu's expression was very ugly, but he didn't say anything.

I just blame myself for not asking clearly.

If eyes can kill, then this waiter in the shop has already been hacked into pieces.

When Murong Tong finished vomiting, his whole body was already weak, his face was pale, and he lost his appetite when he returned to his seat.King Wu poured a glass of wine, and in a short while, the aroma of the wine filled the whole box, and the taste was pure and straight to the bridge of his nose. He was surprised, thinking that even if it was a vintage wine, it would not be so strong.

The King of Wu asked the waiter, "What kind of wine is this?"

"This is a special product of our Taoyuan Town, monkey wine. It is only given as a gift, not for sale."

King Wu asked again: "I remember the specialty of Taoyuan Town, isn't it peach blossom wine? This monkey wine..."

"Oh, the guest officer doesn't know, although the peach blossom wine is the only one in Taoyuan Town, it is managed by the government after all. This monkey wine is the idea of ​​my son-in-law. Did the guest officer notice the peach trees outside the town? "

"I noticed, it's strange to say, why do you leave the peaches in good shape and don't pick them, and just watch them rot on the branches?" King Wu asked the doubts in his heart.

The shop waiter smiled and said: "Taoyuan Town is not short of money, so naturally I don't bother to sell these peaches. The son-in-law came up with an idea, let these peaches rot on the tree, and when they are half rotten, they will naturally ferment, and then order the women in the town Go pick, pick the ripe and fermented peaches, and then settle and distill them to become the natural 'monkey wine' in the hands of the guest officer.

Hearing the words, the King of Wu exclaimed that he was very powerful, thinking that there are indeed two brushes in the statement.

After the waiter in the shop left, a waiter brought up hot dishes, which were delicious in color and fragrance.

It's a pity that after the previous events, neither King Wu nor Murong Tong had much appetite.

This box can just overlook the wonders of the street.

Murong Tong's eyes fell on the shredded tobacco wrapped in yellow paper, and King Wu also noticed it, and said with emotion: "This man Chen Ci has a brilliant mind. He has made such achievements in Guangling in just a few months. If a city is handed over to him, I don't know what it will look like."

Murong Tong remained silent.

King Wu unfolded the yellow paper bag, revealing the bright yellow shredded tobacco, "This, you try?"

"it is good."

Murong Tong followed the process of the big man in his memory rolling a cigarette, and rolled it in a decent manner, then stuffed it into the bamboo whip, put it on his lips, and blew on the fire pocket. After rising, Murong Tong tried to take a breath, and suddenly coughed.

One of his faces flushed, which was ugly.

"Cough, cough..."

"What's the matter?" King Wu looked suspiciously, seeing his son's uncomfortable face, he couldn't understand. He remembered that the big man had a comfortable face when he smoked. Could it be that the method was wrong?

"Choking!" Murong Tong put down the bamboo whip.

At this time, the waiter in the store heard the noise, pushed the door open and entered, seeing the scene, said cheerfully: "This is the first time you two enjoy the shredded tobacco here, it's not how you smoke it."

"How was that drawn?"

The shop waiter smiled and said, "It's just like breathing. You don't need to deliberately inhale, it will pass into the lungs automatically. At the beginning, you will feel a little dizzy, but it's normal."

King Wu gave Murong Tong a wink, the latter nodded, picked up the bamboo whip and continued to inhale, this time he did not intentionally inhale, just like breathing normally.

as predicted.

After Murong Tong breathed out a breath of foul air, he felt that his eyes went dark and he couldn't see anything.

The first time I tried it, it was always like this, just like being dizzy after drinking, first I was groggy, and then I was a little excited, as if I was stimulated by something.

"How?" King Wu opened his eyes curiously.

"Not bad." Murong Tong nodded.

"Let me try……"

Then, King Wu also took a sip for the first time.

Seeing the two swallowing clouds, the waiter in the shop gave a meaningful smile, and then quietly retreated.

Just like that, the father and son, you sip and I sip, in this small box, smoked drowsy, in this dreamlike intoxication, I can't think of it anymore.

A cigarette burns out.

King Wu put down his bamboo whip, recalling the feeling of standing on a cloud just now, he still felt relaxed and comfortable.

"Not bad, good stuff."

Murong Tong also agreed deeply: "It is indeed a good thing, but if you smoke too much,...will it be harmful to your body?"

King Wu sneered: "It doesn't matter, it's just that this thing is indeed a huge profit. Chen Ci is really greedy. Such shredded tobacco is actually more expensive than silver."

At this time, there was a burst of exclamation from the window, and the two of them leaned over to look, and saw that the street was crowded with people, and many people were gathering in one direction.
