Fragrance on the Moon

After saying goodbye to Kuaiwang Zhangsan and agreeing to have a drink together next time, the three of them left Wuchang.

When the boat went down the river, Hu Tiehua noticed that there were indeed many young girls selling flowers with baskets on the other side of the bank.

But now he has self-knowledge, even if there are crowds over there, all scrambling to look at them, he also knows who they want to see.

He turned sideways, glanced at A Liu who was lying on the deck basking in the sun, and couldn't hold back his envy after all: "Why do you attract girls like this?"

A Liu was too lazy to discuss this issue with him, because there was no result anyway.She turned over to touch the wine bag beside her, but Ji Bingyan, who was closer to the wine bag, took a step ahead.

Ji Bingyan told her not to drink, they can't afford to drink wine as water now, except for entertaining friends last night.

A Liu blushed, but she had to listen to him, because she knew that if she insisted on going her own way now, Ji Bingyan would only control the money more tightly in the future, and she couldn't lose the big because of small things.

"Okay." She took a step back, "I'll drink that night."

"Wait a little longer." Suddenly, Ji Bingyan changed the subject, "This ship is much bigger than the space for the carriage. I'll think about the recipe in the past few days, brew a few jars of wine, and store them at the bottom of the cabin."

At that time, there is no need to count the amount of drinking.

Hearing this, Ah Liu almost bounced off the deck, "Really, old Ji? Are you really willing to make wine for us?!"

Ji Bingyan: "What did I lie to you for?"

"I'm so surprised." She chuckled, "It's been a long time since you've done anything."

Hu Tiehua counted with his fingers and said, "At least three years."

Ji Bingyan: "That's because when I brewed for the last time three years ago, I brewed more than a hundred altars at a time, and I almost died of exhaustion."

Ordinary restaurants are not as particular about wine making as he is, and it saves effort to brew more. But at that time, he tried five or six methods strictly according to the ancient recipes before adjusting a recipe that best suited the tastes of the four of them. The mental strength is naturally different from that of ordinary restaurants.

Therefore, brewing more than 100 altars at a time really exhausted him, and he never tried it again.

But now that he offered to do it again, Ah Liu and Hu Tiehua couldn't help but raise their feet.

And Ji Bingyan was lazy, she really decided to do it, and her mobility was second to none.

When the ship arrived in Jiujiang, he quickly bought all the raw materials needed for wine making, then got into the cabin, and did not come out for several days.

A Liu and Hu Tiehua had seen this scene before leaving the army, and they didn't bother him, but came up with the idea of ​​eating river fresh food.

This is also thanks to Kuaiwang Zhangsan, who gave them a lot of fishing tools when he gave them this boat.While Ji Bingyan was busy making wine, the two of them simply tried the same thing.

When they arrived in Tongling, which is not far from the south of the Yangtze River, they knew exactly which fish and shrimps in the river were "both internal and external" and which were "fancy".

A Liu also referred to his modern way of eating before time travel, and took Hu Tiehua to try the braised drunken shrimp, which made him love it, and said that you people with tricky tongues are the best at eating.

Ah Liu said seriously, "It's like this, it's okay to wear and live poorly, but you must not treat yourself badly when you eat." If it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have devoted herself to building a good relationship with Ji Bingyan since she was a child!

Speaking of Ji Bingyan, after seven days of busy work, he finally got out of the bilge again.

A Liu knew that he had worked hard, so he expressed his condolences warmly, and by the way, promoted the braised drunken shrimp to him.

The three of them ate and drank like they did the night before they left Wuchang.

Within two days, Jiangnan arrived.

According to their original plan, they should stay in Jinling for a while, and then continue down the river to go to Songjiang Mansion to eat fresh yellow croakers in season.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. On the first night they arrived in Jinling, two people dressed as beggars approached them.

These two claimed to be disciples of the Beggar Clan, and their attitude was very respectful. When they found them, they made their intentions very clear.

It turned out that as early as several years ago, the beggar gang issued a reward order to Xiong Niangzi, but Xiong Niangzi is the most powerful disguise master in the world, and her martial arts skills should not be underestimated. He wants to hide, and everyone can't help him.

"Later he simply disappeared in the Central Plains, and we were even less able to find out his whereabouts." The older one of the two continued, "Until a month ago, the disciples in the Xixia area heard about his whereabouts." When he appeared in Jincheng, he was already an eunuch."

"The beggar gang issued an order and never took it back. So the leader of the gang ordered us to find someone who punished him, and he will definitely thank him personally."

Ah Liu understood, the beggar gang is here to pay the bounty.

Although she didn't know about it when she punished Mrs. Xiong, but now that the other party offered to send money, she didn't have to refuse, did she?

"According to our disciples' inquiries, we mobilized disciples from all over the country to search for it for a month, using the carriages of a few righteous men as clues, and we searched all the way to Wuchang, only to find out that after arriving in Wuchang——"

"When we arrived in Wuchang, we sold the carriage and took a boat down the river." A Liu took the initiative to answer, "It's really hard for you to ask all the way."

The two disciples of the Beggar Clan laughed and said that this was as it should be.

"It's just..." the speaker paused, "According to the information we got, at the gate of Jincheng City, the person who announced the identity of Mrs. Xiong to the whole city seemed to be a girl, but all three of you are men."

Ah Liu: "..." Damn it, I actually forgot the most important gender issue!

Her smile almost froze on her face, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally she had an idea: "That's right, my sister was so angry at the time, so I asked her to get out of the car and announce the identity of Mrs. Xiong to everyone."

"However, as soon as I left home, I met Mrs. Xiong. She was still a little frightened, and she refused to continue going south with us, and went home directly."

"So that's how it is." The Beggar Clan disciple suddenly said, "Then I don't know if the three of you have time to accompany me to the Jinling sub-altar of the Beggar Clan. The leader of the Beggar Clan said that he would like to personally thank a few righteous men."

A Liu looked at Hu Tiehua and then at Ji Bingyan, feeling that the two of them had no opinion on this matter, so he agreed: "Okay, then we will go with you this way."

On the way to the Jinling branch of the Beggar Gang, Ah Liu recalled whether there were any plots related to the Beggar Gang in the original work.

She always felt that there was something, but she couldn't remember what it was, and she was a little distressed.

This distress continued until she saw the director of the beggar gang, Ci.

Because she didn't have a deep impression of the name Ren Ci, she just remembered that she should be a good person.

The good man Ren Ci met the three of them with a very warm attitude.

After personally asking about the whole story of severely punishing Mrs. Xiong, he clapped his hands and praised: "It's really a hero born a young man, Ren admires it! I also hope that you can give Ren some face and let Ren host a banquet."

A Liu: "Xiong Niangzi is such a scum of the world that everyone can punish him. We just did what we were supposed to do. Why should the gang leader speak so seriously?"

Ren Ci waved his hand, and said boldly: "Hey, I have to buy that wine for a meal!"

"Since the guild leader is so kind, we might as well obey." A Liu had a good impression of him, and agreed without much hesitation.

Ren Ci's banquet was held in a newly built courtyard in the branch altar.

This courtyard is surrounded by mountains and lakes, the scenery is outstanding, and the lights are even brighter at night, which shows that although the name of the Beggar Clan bears the word beggar, its strength is far beyond the imagination of ordinary Jianghu people.

Ji Bingyan was very envious when she saw it, and sighed: "The beggar gang is really the best gang in the world."

Ah Liu echoed: "Yes, and there is also a gang leader who is strong in martial arts and has a clear sense of rewards and punishments. In the future, it is not impossible to compete with Shaolin Temple, the number one sect in the world."

While talking, Ren Ci, who was temporarily called to deal with other matters, also came back, bringing two children with him.

Before taking his seat again, he apologized to Aliu and the others, and then took the initiative to introduce: "These are my two apprentices, and I usually eat with them. brought together."

His two apprentices are one tall and one short, a man and a woman. The man looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, with slender limbs and lively eyebrows. Just by looking at his expression, he must have a lively personality;

On the other hand, girls who look much quieter are a head shorter, and their facial features are also smaller, and they may not be ten years old.

A Liu: "The two apprentices of the chief gang are really very smart."

Ren Ci's ability to bring his apprentice here proves that he is a master who loves his apprentice very much, so when he heard her praise like this, the smile on his face could not be stopped immediately.

"The two of them are really good." He said with a smile, "They are talented and willing to endure hardships. They are the best children. This gang of beggars will be entrusted to them in the future."

After saying this, he turned to his two apprentices and said, "These three are the young Yingjie who severely punished Mrs. Xiong in Jincheng as I mentioned to you some time ago. Come and say hello to Master's distinguished guests."

After his words fell, the man and the woman agreed at the same time.

Then the boy clasped his fists and said, "Under Hong Qi, I have seen three heroes!"

Ah Liu: "??" Wait a minute, what did you say your name is?Hong Qi?Is it the Hong Qi I know?

Before she could recover from the shock, the girl followed her senior brother's words and whispered, "I'm Xia Nangong Ling."

Ah Liu: "..." Grass, I remembered the plot of the original work related to Ren Ci!

Ren Ci, the leader of the Beggar Clan, spent his life hoeing the strong and supporting the weak. He was an upright hero. Unfortunately, he raised a white-eyed wolf son, who was poisoned and seized power by his son in his later years, and died a miserable death.

And this white-eyed wolf adopted son...is Nangong Ling.

The question now is why Nangong Ling has changed sex like her, she is a quiet young girl!

And there is one more senior brother named Hong Qi?

What the hell, even if I killed me, I would never have guessed that these two are brothers and sisters, Ah Liu thought speechlessly.
