Hearing the noise in the confusion, Chang Yu got up and pushed the window but it was raining in the sky, although it was dripping but it was also gratifying, and the soldiers who were awakened by the rain hurriedly packed up to find shade to avoid the rain, and it was not noon at this time.

"Although it's not spring rain, it's as expensive as oil" Li Muxian approached the car and whispered, Chang Yu looked at the sky: "It's not big, it's better to rush than to spend it here."

He immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to cross the river and whipped south.

Ran seventy or eighty miles in one breath, and when it was dark, he had arrived in Fucheng and finally showed fatigue, so he ordered the horses to repair and make a fire to make food, and the lights of the city were bright a few miles away, presumably the people in the city saw that there were people and horses crossing the border to organize self-protection, after all, there were no guards in this kind of small county town at this time, and the team of hundreds of people was more like a thief than a team of hundreds of soldiers and horses Changyu.

Compared with the city where the enemy is on the verge of a great enemy, the nearby villages seem to be calm, and the sound of children can be faintly heard in the smoke of cooking, and even curious people look at this side at the entrance of the village.

Chang Yu was very relieved, the people were so calm, it meant that the people in front of him did not attack him, otherwise it would be impossible to be so calm at this time.

Raising his hand and beckoning to the entrance of the village, two bold people slowly walked over: "Have you eaten?" Chang Yu greeted with a smile.

"Where else can I eat, can the military master have a stutter?" A villager said with a bitter face, Chang Yu smiled slightly: "How do you know that I am a military master and not a good man?" ”

"Hey, if you are a good man, how can you gossip with us, and you will go to the village early in the morning" The villager had an exaggerated expression and stomped his feet.

But too, Chang Yu nodded: "Recently, it can be seen that there is a large army transiting?" ”

"Yes, yes," the villager hurriedly said, "Tens of thousands of people passed early yesterday morning, and there were two batches of hundreds of people in the afternoon...... The two dogs in my village went to beg for rations in the morning and were beaten, and although the two groups did not beat anyone in the afternoon, they were also very fierce, but you are not so kind as the military master......

Tens of thousands of people should say that Liu Zeqing and the three of them should be, but in fact, there are less than 10,000 people, but the little people will blow more when they see so many people, as for the two groups that they said in the afternoon, they should be Lao Jiu and Tu Yuan.

Chang Yu asked people to take some rations, distributed them to a few villagers, and asked about the disaster situation, so he let him go back to the village, standing in the wilderness and looking around, thinking in his heart that according to this speed, he and Liu Zeqing should arrive in Jinan before and after.

"Factory man, I'm in a hurry today, the brothers can still hold on, it's just a horse...... Why don't you stop until midnight and then leave? Jia Waixiong walked over and asked in a low voice, Chang Yu sighed slightly: "There are still nearly 300 miles to Jinan, Liu Zeqing is light and fast, and we must travel a day to estimate that Ming'er will arrive in Jinan."

"That being the case, let's go after a break" Jia Waixiong said and turned around to pass the order, but was dragged by Chang Yu: "Actually, we don't have to be with Liu Zeqing before and after, why don't we ask him to go home to take a breath, let the brothers rest more, and enter Dezhou City tomorrow morning to eat roast chicken."

Texas has three treasures: grilled chicken, watermelon, and golden dates.

It's just that this is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the grilled chicken created by Jia Jiancai was in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

Dezhou was a big city in the late Ming Dynasty, it was a waterway royal road connecting Kyoto to nine provinces, one of the 33 big cities in the country, and it was comparable to the second and third tier provincial capitals in later generations, and it was not inferior to Jinan Fucheng.

At dawn, everyone had crossed Jingzhou (now Jing County), the southernmost part of Hejian Province, into the territory of Dezhou, and looked for a remote place to rest five miles away from the city.

Chang Yu Xu is free for half a day, you can enter the city or repair in situ, and the general has long heard the reputation of Texas roast chicken and watermelon, and the interest is quite high and they have entered the city in groups of three or two, of course, there are also tired people who choose to take a big nap.

"Poor Dao traveled to Texas in his early years, and once he ate Texas roast chicken, it is really a delicacy in the world," Li Muxian stroked his beard and looked at Texas City in the distance, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Hearing what the Taoist chief said, I can't help but taste it in the next" Chen Wangting smiled: "Dao Elder Ma Zhitu leads the way, how about doing the east in the next?" ”

"How embarrassing is this, hehe, since it is so gracious, it will be bothered by the poor road...... Li Muxian smiled: "The hundred households that make roast chicken in Texas City are the best ones for Xu roast chicken, and the Zhang family is also good, well, there is also the Jia family...... Open a big watermelon on this hot day, and really race the living immortals! Saying that, he glanced back at Chang Yu: "Can the factory go with you?" ”

Chang Yu was afraid of disturbing him Yaxing, so he didn't go with him, and Li and Chen drifted away.

"This cliff is a foodie, and the head of the story is the Tao, which makes Lao Tzu hungry and insects...... I'm going too, Lao Qiao is going, I'm please! Wu Zhong scolded in his mouth and invited Qiao Sanxiu to go with him.

Qiao Sanxiu was pleased: "That's a waste of money for you, I heard that it's not cheap"

"And, it's not bad for those three melons and two dates" Wu Zhong was very arrogant and Qiao Sanxiu rode away from the arrow.

After many soldiers left, Chang Yu got up and looked at Guo Ren and the Chen brothers: "Aren't you going?" ”

"The subordinates are on duty, and they can't leave without permission," the three of them hurriedly said.

Chang Yu smiled: "If you are sleepy, you can sleep, if you are not sleepy, you will go into the city with this governor to eat and drink" Several people nodded happily. Chang Yu called Jia Waixiong in the distance again, but unexpectedly, the goods waved his hand and refused: "I am very sleepy, and my hands are tight."

"This governor invites you" Chang Yu scolded with a smile, and Jia Waixiong still couldn't arouse his interest: "What's so strange about the greasy eating of chicken, duck and fish meat every day in Beijing, it's better to hunt some game, I'm too sleepy to go."

Even so, Chang Yu didn't force it, and led the three of them to ride around Texas City.

Dezhou as a big city between the imperial capital and Jinan is extremely prosperous, and in a few months two military disasters are positively affected here, almost no damage, the people live and work in relative peace and contentment, at first glance look at the traffic endlessly, look carefully to see the clues, most of the refugees from all over the world gather here to beg and live.

There were guards at the city gate, and when they saw that there were cavalry entering the city in pairs, they did not panic, and after routinely asking about the way to enter the city and fight the sharp, they did not interrogate them, and did not even report to them.

So much so that when Chang Yu rode into the city, the soldiers guarding the door hid in the shade and chatted without looking at him.

On the contrary, if the head official in the city learned that the governor of Dongchang was here, he would still be able to take a break and wander freely.

Riding a horse in the city was too ostentatious, but he didn't dare to tie it elsewhere at will, and he had to be stolen, so Chang Yu and his party of four dismounted and led the way, and they stopped a group of people to inquire: "Brother, where is there roast chicken for sale in this Texas City?" ”

The old man raised his eyebrows and looked proud: "There are not five hundred but three hundred people who sell roast chicken in this Texas City, and there must be sellers within fifty steps" He raised his hand and pointed to the woman with a basket not far away: "Oh, that's ......" swallowed his saliva while speaking: "That's not cheap."

Guo Ren looked back at Chang Yu and was slightly embarrassed: "Brother, I heard that there is a family surnamed Xu who is very famous, please show me the way."

"Hey, hey, you're going to the store to eat" The old man swept the situation and a few people, and his expression was slightly complicated: "That place is expensive, you have to eat a few months of silver for a meal" Seeing that the situation did not change, he raised his hand and pointed: "East Street, Xu Roast Chicken is easy to find, and the surname Zhang at the south gate is also good......

Chang Yu and his entourage did not go to Xu Ji, because the name was too famous, Li Muxian and Wu Zhong definitely went there to consume, and Zhang Ji at the South Gate did not go, but went to the oldest brand in Dezhou City, Jia Ji.

Jia Ji is in the most prosperous area in the center of Texas City, the façade is not big but simple and charming, which is also in line with the image of a century-old brand, but the front of the door is deserted and does not look good.

"My lord, there are not many diners in the store, isn't it because of the craftsmanship? Why don't we go to that Xu Ji" Guo Ren raised his eyebrows, Chang Yu shook his head lightly: "As Jia Waixiong just said, chicken, duck and fish have long been tired of eating, if it weren't for hunger, eating is actually eating a mouthful of authentic taste, which is not only a time-honored brand, but also the most fundamental taste."

"But there aren't many people in there!" Chen Sole muttered.

"We're here to eat, why do we need so many people to watch the excitement" Chang Yu sighed slightly: "As for the deserted store...... There are a few people who can eat chicken these years, all of them are either rich or expensive, and ordinary people can't eat half a mouthful of rice, where can they get money to eat chicken. ”

As he spoke, a man came out of the shop and beckoned a few people, took the reins and tied the horses.

"Hey, bald donkey, go aside, what are cats doing here, you want to steal horses......" Chang Yuju listened to the guy scolding when he walked into the store, and turned his head to see a monk with a big waist and a round waist sitting cross-legged next to the horse tether stake in the east of the door, which was eye-catching, and his left hand was holding a brass Zen staff in his right hand.

The monk was silent, but looked at Chang Yu.

Eyes like torches.

Chang Yu felt the original meaning of the word for the first time.

This monk's vision seems to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Damn, with a big bead around his neck and a crescent shovel, this whole Lu Zhishen is ah" Chen Sole said with a smile.

"It's just a big beard," Chen Ruxin also smiled.

"Hugh is rude" Chang Yu reprimanded, he is not superstitious and does not believe in Buddhism but respects these practitioners, hanging beads are not ordinary monks can bring, only the host, the Dharma elder and the master of the house are either monks who have been ordained for more than ten years, although the identity of this monk is unknown, but looking at the age of about forty, the momentum is by no means an ordinary monk.

"What he is holding in his hand is not a crescent shovel but a Zen staff, which is a thing for police sleep" Chang Yuju walked into the store and casually popularized science: "And the crescent shovel is not a Buddhist weapon, but a Taoist thing, also known as a convenient shovel, the sand monk in Journey to the West and Lu Zhishen of the Water Margin are not crescent shovels in the original work, the sand monk uses the demon scepter, and Lu Zhishen uses the iron Zen staff, which are all storytellers."

After hearing the words, the three of them threw themselves to the ground: "The adults know so much, so the monk may be a host, how can he be reduced to a beggar."

"The host may not be, but it must be a great monk, in this year of endless natural disasters and military disasters, it is common for the host of a temple to wander in the rivers and lakes, or maybe he just came out to make a fortune, maybe he can't say" Chang Yu said lightly, glanced at the store, found a table at the door and sat down, and the guy hurriedly came over to entertain.

"Here are four roast chickens, and some of the other meat and vegetables...... Well, let's have another pot of wine" Chang Yu ordered the food, and even asked for wine, which made the situation very happy, but the guy was a little hesitant: "Guest officer, this wine guest is expensive" Presumably, in his opinion, a few ** people do not have such high spending power, unless they want to eat white food.

Chang Yu took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the table: "Is it enough?" ”

"Enough, enough, redundant, the small one will give you change later" The guy's eyebrows fluttered, and Chang Yu stopped him again: "You don't need to look for the odds, get some food for the monk outside."

The guy was stunned, but nodded in response.
