Chapter 668 Dharma Money

There were no twists and turns in the voyage after that, the river flowed slowly and the breeze echoed in my ears.

The further south you go, the more pleasant the climate becomes.

There are many ships around.

Such as river boats, Beijing boats, state boats, etc., all have certain routes.

A few days later, the dock on the shore.

From a distance, I saw people moving on the other side.

"Everyone is disembarking!"

The boatman shouted loudly.

Everyone had already seen the scene on the shore, and everyone had a look of anticipation on their faces.

The voyage of more than ten days was finally over.

The big ship docked and everyone got off the ship one after another.

Li Ping'an bowed his hands to the boatman at the dock as a farewell.

Li Maocai said: "Sir, when you come to Nantong for the first time, if you don't really want to go anywhere, why not come with me?" Li Ping'an hesitated, "That's okay."

Nantong.

Along the coast of Nantong, commerce and trade are developed.

Its prosperity is comparable to that of Beijing.

However, in recent years, the labor tax has been too heavy, coupled with the rebellion of Japanese pirates along the coast.

This led to the decline of the three provinces of Nantong.

However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it cannot be compared with just any province.

While walking, Li Maocai introduced the situation in Nantong to Li Pingan.

On the way, we had another meal of Nantong’s local delicacies and customs.

Li Maocai's hometown is Nantong, and now that he has been transferred back to his hometown, he is naturally very comfortable.

Then, they met the officials who came to greet Li Maocai, the new prefect.

Li Ping'an politely declined Li Maocai's invitation to continue traveling with him, and they parted ways.

Walking on the busy street, I saw that it was getting late.

It’s time to find a place to sleep first, as for what to do tomorrow.

Think about it tomorrow.

After the little girl and the owner of the inn fiercely negotiated the price, she finally checked into this inn at a huge discount.

The little girl turned into a cat and stood at the window.

Lift your head, nostrils pointing upward.

Smell it hard.

It looked like it smelled a rat.

Before, there were no mice in several places I went, but the cat fairy was very worried.

So Fairy Maomao turned to Li Pingan and Lao Niu and said.

"Don't bring the fairy's portion to tonight's dinner."

"Ok."

Before leaving, Cat couldn't help but give another warning.

"Rest early."

"Ah."

The cat jumped down.

Li Pingan and Lao Niu left the inn with Lao Niu.

Ready to find a good place to have dinner.

Anyway, I still have some money left.

For a while, there is no need to worry about money.

The evening breeze and running water caused slight waves, and the sound of singing and dancing could be heard in the distance.

Li Pingan and Lao Niu walked leisurely.

It took more than half an hour before I found a restaurant that everyone praised for its delicious food.

The faint aroma of food seems to indicate that this restaurant is well-deserved.

It’s just that old cows are not allowed to enter.

Li Pingan packed his things, wrapped them in lotus leaves, and turned to leave.

Suddenly I smelled the aroma of wine on the counter, and I pulled out the roundworms in my stomach.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this wine?"

The shopkeeper dialed his abacus and called out but there was no immediate response.

Instead, he waited for a while before raising his head.

It's like taking some time out of your busy schedule.

"What kind of wine do you want?"

"Just this wine."

Li Pingan pointed to the most conspicuous jar of wine in the middle.

The shopkeeper said: "Sir, this wine is not for sale."

"Oh? Why put it on display if it's not for sale?"

The shopkeeper raised his head and didn't hide it, "This is specially provided to wealthy families and officials.

It is difficult for ordinary people to buy it even if they have money. "

Li Ping'an suddenly realized and smelled the aroma of wine.

All he said was: "What a pity."

He hesitated for a moment and took out five French coins strung together with red thread from his sleeve.

This thing is called Five Emperors Coin, which refers to a copper coin with a round square hole.

Ancient copper coins are cast according to the principles of "circle on the outside and square on the inside" and "harmony between man and nature".

Take the image of heaven and earth, and gather the energy of the five directions and five elements.

The connotation is Yin Yang and Five Elements, representing the power of the five directions and five elements.

It can resist evil spirits and is an auspicious item.

Li Pingan briefly introduced the origin and use of this money.

Hanging it in the house not only for decoration but also for security.

You can also wear it with you to avoid evil spirits.

Those who commit Tai Sui can use it to ward off evil spirits and ward off disasters...

This magic money was refined and played by Lao Niu when he had nothing to do.

However, because I was worried about wasting money, I only refined this bunch.

The shopkeeper took a look at Li Ping'an.

Seeing his delicate appearance, he was wearing a blue shirt.

Wearing an erhu and dressed neatly.

It doesn't look like he is begging for food, nor does he look like he is deliberately causing trouble.

The shopkeeper picked up the money and didn't take it seriously.

In his opinion, it was just five copper coins.

So he said, "How about a glass of wine? Let's make friends."

"can."

Li Ping'an didn't say much, just one cup.

It didn't matter whether it was worth it or not. Now he wanted to try this wine. It was worth whatever money he spent.

The shopkeeper thought so too.

If you're in a good mood today, think of it as a good deed.

How can you get a glass of this wine for five cents?

Five taels is probably about the same.

So he took off the wine trough and was about to pour the wine.

Li Ping'an took out a cup himself and motioned for him to pour it into the cup.

The shopkeeper filled a glass of wine.

Li Ping'an has tasted countless fine wines, but this wine does have a unique flavor.

With a delicate hint of sweetness.

Drinking again, I feel my throat is smooth and my mouth is full of sweetness.

Intuition is like the crumbs of a meal, and the lingering fragrance fills the mouth.

It feels comfortable during drinking, comfortable after drinking, light drunk and low luxury, just right.

"Not bad! Good wine,"

Li Pingan praised.

The shopkeeper said: "It's a good bar, and only dignitaries can enjoy it on weekdays."

Li Pingan nodded, "Thank you."

Only then did the shopkeeper notice that the other party was drinking, and he only drank half a glass, so he asked: "Why do you want to go back to taste this half glass?"

"This half cup is reserved for my old cow."

"what?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback.

Li Ping'an thanked him and walked out with his things.

"Hehehe!"

The shopkeeper only found this person interesting.

Looking at the five copper coins left by the other party, he didn't care and put them aside casually.

"Ouch, Mr. Zhang!"

Hear a familiar voice.The shopkeeper quickly put down his abacus and greeted him with his hands.

The person who came was the steward of the Liu family in Nantong.

The Liu family has a history of exactly 300 years in Nantong and has deep roots.

Not to mention the officials of Nantong Prefecture, even the officials in Beijing treated him with great courtesy. "How are you doing, shopkeeper? You are in good health lately." Butler Zhang chuckled.

"Thanks to you, I am in high spirits. The wine has been prepared for you a long time ago, so I asked someone to put it in for Mr. Zhang."

Butler Zhang sat down and the people in the shop brought out jars of fine wine.

Butler Zhang said to his subordinates: "You should also go and help."

The shopkeeper took a jar of wine and poured it for Butler Zhang.

Someone also brought some side dishes over there.

Butler Zhang smiled and said, "It's just the shopkeeper's courtesy."

"Should be."

Butler Zhang drank the wine in one gulp, and the two exchanged a few words.

At this time, Butler Zhang glanced at him.

He glanced at the five French coins on the counter and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Old shopkeeper, you, you... thing..."
