Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Let's also say that Zhao Zhen was urged by Zhao Jin to go on a blind date. Although Zhao Zhen dealt with it by completing his career and becoming a teacher, he still dared to wait longer. If the female relatives at home heard about it, I'm afraid they would have to urge me again.

In addition, the cattle dogs, shepherd dogs, bow strings, glue, wine, temple design drawings and other items needed by Zhao Zhenji to hang up in the fantasy world all need to be purchased one by one. The most important thing in the main world at the moment is to meet with Gao Hu, the chief of the pavilion, and help complete the project. The proofreading of the fish scale book has brought a final conclusion to the issue of the village boundaries of Bailiu Village.

Judging from what Gao Feng said, it was only in the past few days.

While I was in the city today, I bought what I needed and went back to Bailiu Village to wait for Gao Hu, the head of the pavilion. It also saves you the trouble of hanging around in front of your parents' eyes and mentioning the blind date again.

Zhao Zhen said goodbye to his parents, rode straight to Beishi, left the Hailiu horse, and started wandering around the livestock area. But there were all pigs, horses, cows, sheep, camels, black donkeys, chickens, ducks, and geese, but not a single dog.

Zhao Zhen had to ask the businessman who bought the sheep back to find out clearly that the dog market was not here. Because he was afraid that the barking of the dog would startle the livestock, the dog was only bought and sold in the Nan market.

Zhao Zhen thanked the merchant and went to the department store area first. However, the bow string and glue were not available for purchase here. Instead, he had to go to the weapons area to buy the two items. The price is not high, but it is not easy to buy. This item belongs to military equipment, and Zhao Zhenliang bought it only after he showed his true identity.

I bought a total of 600 bow strings, thirty kilograms of cow glue, and more than ten kilograms of fish bladder glue.

Each beef backbone has one strip of sinew and weighs about thirty taels. Kill it, dry it in the sun, soak it in water, and break it into pieces like ramie threads. There is no silk in the north, and the bow strings are all tied together with this thing. The Chinese use it to protect the bow stem and use it as a cotton slingshot. "Tiangong opens things"

There are two types of bowstrings. One type is made of animal sinews, mostly beef tendons, horsehair, and grapevines, and the other type is woven from silk, cotton thread, and hemp rope. I bought 300 strings of each type, costing 10 strings. The price of these two types of bowstrings is almost the same. They are both large quantities and cheap. Because bowstrings are consumables, rapid production and equipment for the army is the first condition.

Zhao Zhen thought that he still had two mutated snake bones in his hand, so he bought two more fine and exquisite animal sinew bow strings.

"Zhou Li Kao Gong Ji" records: Wherever the tendons are, if they are small and simple, they will be long, if they are big and smooth, they will be small and long. If it is knotted and lustrous, then it is a beast and must be cut. If it is used as a bow, it is not different from its beast, and its tendons will be worn out. Carefully selected alienated animal sinews have excellent toughness, and two strings cost 30 strings.

Six kinds of glue are commonly used in making bows: deer glue, horse glue, ox glue, rat glue, fish bladder glue and rhinoceros glue. Deer glue is green and white, horse glue is red and white, cattle glue is fire red, rat glue is black, fish glue is bait, and rhinoceros glue is yellow. Deer glue and rhinoceros glue are basically not found in Gaoguo, but horse glue, cow glue, rat glue, and fish bladder glue are common, and fish bladder glue is the most expensive. More than 40 kilograms of glue cost a total of 20 strings.

Beef glue is cheap, easy to make and does not depend on time. Cut the cowhide into small pieces, soak in water until soft, add water and slowly boil over low heat, boil for three days to get clear juice, add rice wine to collect the glue after the juice is reduced. Fish bladder glue is expensive, so marine fish bladders are the best when choosing fish, and large yellow croaker swim bladders are the best. Glue production only occurs every year after frost and before freezing. First, soak, chop, and steam. The additional step of breaking the glue is also the most time-consuming. Since ancient times, it has been said: A good man cannot break three taels of swim bladder in a day, and this is what it means. The glue squeezed out can be used immediately. The remaining glue will solidify after cooling and can be kept for later use. It needs to be soaked and boiled again when used. Although the method of boiling glue is spread in various places, the process is too complicated and labor-intensive. Thirty kilograms of cow glue only costs 5 guan, while more than ten kilograms of fish bladder glue is worth 15 guan.

Bought 50 jars of soju in the department store area. Zhao Zhen didn't know how to obtain the temple design drawings. After much thought, he rode a horse to the county school, presented a gift, and asked Hu Jiaoyu to introduce him to Gong Zheng, the official of the workshop. He exchanged ten taels of silver for a set of existing ones in Gong Zheng's hands. Temple drawings. For the sake of Hu Jiaoyu, Gong Zheng gave some advice on the terrain provided by Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen wrote them down one by one. After Zhao Zhen got the drawings, he thanked the two of them.

After leaving the county office, Hu Jiao said: "Zhao Erlang, the former talked to you about determining the household registration, has it been completed?"

"Islamic edict, officials from all households have been to Zhuangzi two days ago. Now my village is called Bailiu Village, which belongs to Lvliu Township. I have been appointed as the head of the village. I would like to thank you for the advice." Well. A lot of people came to buy Zhuangzi in the past few days, and they paid very high prices."

"Very good, very good. Now, taking advantage of this favorable situation, many students of your generation have entered public offices. In this way, the starting point is always higher than others." Hu Jiaoyu said with a smile. He also instructed: "This is the ceremony of completing my apprenticeship. The king has taken out many fantasy world scrolls from the treasury. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. As the leader, you must be at the forefront. Pick the one that suits you and use it well." , it must be a big help.”

When Zhao Zhen saw Hu Jiaoyu mentioning this matter again and again, he couldn't help but pay more attention to it. He thanked him again and again for his advice and left.

Zhao Zhen carried the drawings and braved the scorching sun to ride to the last place of this purchase - Nanshi. Nanshi is not a dog market. Besides dogs, there are also many animals that are not afraid of barking dogs.

Along the way, we saw dozens of dogs, large and small, the most common ones being fine dogs, Patriot dogs, tabby dogs, Tubo mastiffs, prairie mastiffs, eagle dogs, Fu dogs, meadow sheepdogs, Tubo sheepdogs, mountain dogs, northern dogs, etc. Hounds, Kunma Dogs, Ba Dogs, Bai Pu Dogs, Xiasi Hounds, Shu Di Hounds, Taicang Hounds...

This was Zhao Zhen's first time buying a dog. He really didn't know how to choose, so he had to find a dealer and tell him his requirements. The dealer led Zhao Zhen straight to a yard and pointed to a cage and said, "This is a Liangshan dog. The long-haired one is called a fanzi, and the short-haired one is called a huatiao. There are three colors: black, white, and yellow. The pure black and shiny ones are the best. The black dog with four snow-white hooves is commonly known as "flying on the snow". It is the best Liangshan dog. This family has one. There is a jingle that praises the Liangshan dog: pink ears, cucumber mouth. Shrimp waist, mule and horse legs. Rabbit hooves, scorpion tail. This dog is best at hunting hares."

After Zhao Zhen looked at it, he immediately decided on two adult dogs and four puppies, but didn't want those born in the same litter. He took out the remaining three puppies from different dog cages, five strings of silver for flying on the snow, and one string of silver for the other five. After settling the money, Zhao Zhen asked the store to pack it and hired an ox cart outside to load it.

After visiting this store, the broker took Zhao Zhen to spend another three strings of cash to buy ten grassland sheepdogs, all of which were well-trained adult dogs. After everything was packed, Zhao Zhen calculated the commission with the broker and settled the bill in one go.

As they were walking on the road, the broker pointed to a yard and said to Zhao Zhen: "This is a famous dog in the world, and it is the only place in Chengwu County that sells it." Zhao Zhen asked: "How does it compare to the flying dog on the snow?"

The broker said: "They are not of the same kind. The flying dog on the snow is also a different species, and there are only one in a hundred. Han Zilu is the fastest dog in the world; Dongguo Xun is the cunning rabbit in the country. Han Zilu chased Dongguo Xun, and three of them circled the mountain and five flew up the mountain; the rabbit was the fastest in front, and the dog was the weakest in the back. All Han and Lu are good at running, and they are all like this."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen dismounted and said: "Let's take a look."

Let the ox cart wait for a while, and the two entered the store. As expected, they were handsome. Zhao Zhen paid another 5 strings of cash and bought five dogs.
