Summon players, rebuild Dawei

Tao Ke sat down on the small table next to the booth, and shouted to the boss, "Bring me a bowl of mutton ramen from last night, add more mutton."

The owner of the noodle stall with the name "Nie Huo" pulled the noodles and dealt with it impatiently: "Got it, wait!"

Tao Ke drank the warm water in his cup and watched the big man pull the noodles skillfully.

Just a few times of stretching, pulling, shaking, and buckling, the white flour in the hand becomes long and thin, like a smooth coil of twine, and I can't help applauding it secretly.

Although Yizhou also has noodles boiled in soup, they are made by kneading the dough by hand, cutting it into sections, and cooking it in a pot. They are called soup cakes. See you.

Tao Ke and his caravan arrived late yesterday, and it was completely dark when they entered the city. All the food shops around the mansion were closed, but this soup and cake shop was still open.

At that time, he was too lazy to go far, so Tao Ke took everyone to eat a bowl of mutton soup cakes at this stall.

Originally, I just wanted to eat something hot to fill my stomach, but who knows that this soup cake is unexpectedly delicious, especially the large piece of mutton used as a topping, which is so crispy and delicious, tender and delicious, a mouthful of fragrant mutton, I just want to eat it Tongue also swallowed.

What surprised Tao Ke even more was that this soup cake shop also had a seasoning that he had never seen before. Adding a spoonful or two of red paste to the noodles made the soup instantly hot and spicy, but it was also very appetizing. People can't stop eating.

After Tao Ke ate once last night, all he wanted was this spicy and delicious taste, so he brought his servants to the stall to eat noodles again early this morning.

After a while, Nie Huo put a steaming bowl of mutton ramen in front of him, and brought two small plates containing seasonings, and said, "Hot sauce, vinegar, add it yourself."

"Wait, little brother." Tao Ke stopped him and asked, "What is your hot sauce made of, and how can it be so pure and delicious?"

"I didn't make this, I bought it from the Farmer's Chamber of Commerce." Nie Huo has long been used to this kind of question. Since more businessmen came to Miryang, he has been caught asking about hot sauce several times a day. formula.

Sometimes, he even felt that he was more like a guiding NPC than these NPCs.

Nie Huo pointed directly at the billboard at the diagonally opposite intersection: "It says the address of the farmers' chamber of commerce. If you want to buy it yourself, you'd better go early. When I went to order two days ago, the hot sauce was almost sold out. "

Tao Ke looked up at the road sign on the opposite side, nodded: "I know, thank you for reminding me."

After quickly enjoying a bowl of delicious ramen, Tao Ke wiped his reddened mouth with a towel, paid for the noodles, and went to the opposite side with his entourage.

Arrived too late last night, Tao Ke didn't look carefully at these road signs, only now did he realize that in addition to road signs, there were also many strange sentences written on these road signs.

After studying it with interest for a while, I found that there were many things that I didn't quite understand, so I simply turned my attention to a certain article below that mentioned the farmers' chamber of commerce.

[Naturally made, "spicy" is overbearing; delicious fruit wine, beauty and longevity!

Farmers' preferred hot sauce, fruit wine, and more, all in the Farmers' Chamber of Commerce!

——Mansion No. [-] in Yanqili. 】

Tao Ke saw the word "fruit wine" at a glance, and thought to himself, isn't this the reason why the envoy asked him to come to Miryang?

Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, the hot sauce and fruit wine he wanted were sold at the same place.

Remembering the news that the hot sauce was about to be sold out just now, he ordered his servants to rent a donkey cart, and then got into the cart and headed towards the farmers' chamber of commerce.

The donkey cart was empty on all sides, with no obstruction to the line of sight.

Tao Ke kept watching the scene of the city along the way, saw the bustling scene of cars and people on the street, and sighed in his heart, he didn't expect Miryang City to be so prosperous, when he returned to Zhu Ning, he reported the matter to the envoy Jun, the other party must be happy.

Just thinking about it secretly, when he passed a certain mansion on the way, he suddenly saw a crowd of people at the door, Tao Ke was puzzled, and asked the driver driving the donkey in front of him: "Where was that just now, why are there so many people gathered?"

The coachman didn't look back, and replied as usual: "It's a county school, which was opened by our Taishou Jiang. He said that everyone can enroll for free. When the news spread, poor scholars from other places would stop by early in the morning every day. Waiting and watching at the door, the door is always so crowded."

"Everyone can enroll?" Tao Ke opened his eyes wide: "The common people can also?"

"That's right, not only that, people of low status like us who don't even know a single word, if they want to learn, they can also go to school."

Hearing this, Tao Ke was even more surprised.

He came from a humble family background, both of his parents were domestic servants of the Liu family, and he was also a domestic servant since he was born. Fortunately, he was appreciated by the emperor, so he had the opportunity to read a few books, and even took the position of a caravan leader.

If ordinary people could read books, what would Miryang look like!

Trembling in his heart, Tao Ke asked the coachman: "Then you want to sign up for the study?"

The coachman shook his head: "I'm so old, what can I learn? It's useless to study for a year or two, and the fields are abandoned. If I don't plant the land, I can't even eat..."

Hearing the coachman's remarks, Tao Ke's mood slowly fell.

That's right, even if ordinary people have books to read and use?

How many underprivileged people are there in this world, and how many people can become high officials?

If you are lucky, you are just like yourself, a servant of a noble family who manages affairs.

Sighing slightly, Tao Ke didn't have the heart to ask any more questions, but at this moment, the coachman said, "It's meaningless for us common people to go to the county school, but we can go to the technical school in Yanqi."

Tao Ke raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by technical school?"

"It's a school that specializes in teaching certain skills." The coachman replied, and when he saw that he was interested, he explained in detail: "I heard people say that you can learn medicine, martial arts, carpentry, blacksmithing, and so on. Chemical...

"I don't have the skills to learn medicine and martial arts. I would like to try carpentry. Recently, the government has recruited carpenters to work, including food and lodging, and I can earn [-] yuan a day. I don't know when I learn carpentry. , but there is no such good thing.”

Because of the impact of the previous county school, Tao Ke didn't feel surprised at this time.

According to the coachman, the technical school is just a workshop run by the government to train craftsmen and apprentices, but for some reason it also teaches medical skills. Isn't this a skill passed down within the family?

Although he was puzzled, it had nothing to do with him. After the donkey cart brought them to the gate of the farmers' chamber of commerce, Tao Ke got out of the cart and quickly forgot about it.

The gate of the mansion was open, and as soon as Tao Ke stepped through the threshold, a young man in clean cloth came over and asked, "Are you here for shopping?"

Tao Ke responded with a smile: "That's right, I came here for the fruit wine and hot sauce."

"Then you are late, the last jar of hot sauce was sold out yesterday," Si Cheng said in a normal tone, "there is still some fruit wine, come with me."

Hearing that the hot sauce was sold out, and that he was only one day late, Tao Ke felt a little heartbroken, and as he followed him inside, he asked, "Then when will there be more hot sauce?"

"Next year, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be August or September of next year." Si Cheng answered carefully.

In fact, they are trying to grow peppers in greenhouses, but they may not be successful, and there are relatively few experimental fields, so they answered this question according to the planting period in the open air.

Tao Ke nodded. Although it is a pity, this kind of seasonal goods only comes once a year. If you miss it, you will miss it. They have long been used to it.

After a while, he followed Si Cheng into a dimly lit house.

As soon as he entered, a strong smell of wine came to his nostrils. Tao Ke saw the stacked wine jars in the house, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Are these mulberry wine?"

"Mulberry wine?" Si Cheng shook his head, "Of course not. The mulberry wine was sold out ten days ago. These are plum wines that have just been made recently."

Hearing this, Tao Ke only felt a blockage in his chest, and it was extremely cold.

He came too late, and all the things he wanted were sold out!

Seeing that his face was bitter, Si Cheng kindly comforted him and said: "Don't be like this, plum wine is also very fragrant, why don't you try some?"

Tao Ke still felt regretful, but he had no other choice. He thought that since he came here, he had to bring something back to the business, so he said, "Please let me have a taste."

"Then you wait." Immediately, Si Cheng fetched a rough clay teacup, opened a small jar of wine, put a plum in the cup, poured some liquor, and handed it to the other party.

Tao Ke took it and glanced at it. The wine in the pitch-black pottery cup was clear, and there was a red plum with emerald green in it, the color was extraordinarily beautiful.

He picked up the cup and took a sip, then couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"How about it?"

"Sweet and sour, with a strong fruity aroma."

Si Cheng laughed: "I'll say it's not bad!"

"It's really delicious!"

Tao Ke drank the fruit wine in one gulp, then negotiated the price with Si Cheng, and ordered a hundred jars of plum wine in one go, saying: "You prepare the goods for me, and I will bring a convoy over to ship them tomorrow. Can you trade them with rice?"

Si Cheng nodded quickly: "Of course there is no problem!"

"Then it's settled."

After buying the wine, Tao Ke didn't linger around much, and returned directly to the mansion.

Today he still has one important thing to do, which is to send the gift prepared by the envoy to the prefect here.

You can't be sloppy when you meet the prefect.

Tao Ke deliberately put on new clothes and shoes, combed his hair again and put on a hat. After tidying up his appearance, he took a few Lifus and pulled a cart full of gifts to the gate of the government office.

After being notified by the guards, Tao Ke successfully entered the county office.

Following the footsteps of the guards and walking through the long corridor, he often encountered officials passing by in a hurry with documents in their hands. Tao Ke was quiet and honest all the way, not daring to look too much. Everything around him, including his tense heartbeat, calmed down.

Tao Ke immediately knelt down and saluted: "Servant Tao Ke was ordered by the Governor of Yizhou to come to pay a visit to the Lord."

"Get up."

"No." Tao Ke stood up, bowed his head to obey the order.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Shu saw that he was silent, so she asked casually, "My uncle said in the letter that he gave me a gift. What kind of gift is it?"

Only then did Tao Ke think of this, and he quickly took out a booklet from his pocket and said, "Your Majesty, this is the gift list."

Ziming brought the booklet over, Jiang Shu opened it and glanced at it, only saw a row of silk cloth, pearls, and jade ruyis, and put it away without looking at it carefully, saying: "My uncle is so generous, I should return it too." I heard that he likes the fragrance of mulberry wine, so I specially reserved twenty altars for him, and when you go back later, take those wines back with you."

Tao Ke didn't expect to get mulberry wine here, so he nodded quickly.

"Tao Guan came here specifically to buy wine?"

"Mr. Huifu, that's exactly the case."

Jiang Shu took a light breath: "It's not easy to go back and forth from Zhu Ning. It would be a pity if I just brought some wine back."

Tao Ke's heart rose, and he quietly raised his head and asked, "What does the Lord Fu mean?"

Jiang Shu didn't say anything for the time being, and turned to wink at the little bookboy beside him.

After a while, Ziming led two boy servants to bring a six-screen screen and put it in the hall.

The screen uses rosewood as the frame and silk as the core. It is embroidered with delicate and soft pictures of winter camellias. It is different from the popular style of embroidery all over the floor at that time. Share Qingli elegant meaning.

Tao Ke has traveled all over the world for a long time, and has seen many good things, but he has never seen such a unique, delicate and realistic embroidery painting, so he was stunned for a while.

After a long while, he tentatively asked: "Fujun, do you intend to sell this screen?"

Jiang Shu shook his head: "This screen is just for you to watch."

Tao Ke looked puzzled.

Jiang Shu smiled lightly, and said unhurriedly: "Since my brother-in-law intends to do business with me for a long time, it is natural that we want to negotiate something that is convenient for delivery."

Then he gave another instruction to Zi Ming: "Go and invite Jun Cheng to come over for me."

"promise."
