Yan Chenghou wanted a palindrome, but it can be seen that the ram was left, and it was not easy for him to catch up, so he had to leave the Thorn Mansion and go to the market in the city to buy something.

After three days of purchasing, Yan Chenghou bought all the things he needed, and planned to leave Qiuzhou, and when he left, he felt that he should find someone to inquire about the preferences of the thorn Shi Ram, so he called the guy from the inn where he lived.

The guys in the inn have always been quick mouths, and they are the best at gossiping, especially the privacy of the big guys, especially the privacy of the big guys, especially like to say, anyway, they are also from other places, and they are not afraid of being known by the local big guys, and they are even more unscrupulous to say.

Yan Chenghou found a young man, let him into the room, and said with a smile: "In your Qiuzhou, I'm almost done, and I'm leaving today, but maybe I'll come back in the future, and maybe I'll have to deal with you Lord Thorn Shi, I don't know what Lord Thorn Shi likes, what hobbies do you have?" ”

Except for going to see the Thorn Shi Ram Liu, Yan Chenghou did not mention his identity to others, and the shop guys naturally didn't know. When the shopkeeper heard Yan Chenghou ask, he understood in his heart, he saw that Yan Chenghou had bought a lot of big cars and things, and also hired a lot of craftsmen, although they were all craftsmen with poor skills, but they could hire so many people, and they were also at the level of big businessmen.

The shopkeeper smiled: "As soon as I look at the guest officer's handwriting, I know that you are a person who does great things, and the small ones are much thanks to the guest officer for your reward these days!" "In the past few days, Yan Chenghou has given him a lot of rewards, and he is very generous, and the store guys can't wait to meet such customers every day.

After saying a word of sycophancy, the shopkeeper said: "If you want to say that we, Lord Thorn Shi, don't like anything else, we like to receive gifts, the heavier the gifts, the better, and he also has a hobby, that is, to find someone to sell the gifts he receives." Swap it out for cash and put it in your own storeroom. ”

Yan Cheng said with curiosity: "The person who gave the gift just gave the money directly, and it also saved Lord Shi the trouble of stabbing him." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "That's not good, Lord Assassin Shi is an honest official, he will never accept money, whoever sends him money, he will be in a hurry, and his old man often says that he will never accept money!" ”

Yan Chenghou listened to Yile, only accepting gifts and not money, this has nothing to do with honesty. Isn't he still a corrupt official!

The shopkeeper said: "However, speaking of which, it is still good for our Lord Assassin to be an official, at least he never scrapes the ground, and he always thinks about doing good things, although the good things are not done well, but the people of our state are still grateful to him, and the assassins of other states will not be like him." ”

"What good things are you doing, you say come and listen." It's strange to be honest and honest. The impression left by the ram on him is that he is a rather irresponsible official, and it is not strange that such an official can still do good things!

The shopkeeper smiled. Said: "Lord Thorn Shi wants to promote the cultivation of rice in Qiuzhou, and he also uses his own private field for experiments, and he also goes to the field himself, and the people of our whole city have gone to see it!" ”

Yan Chenghou nodded. Said: "This is a good thing, I have been here for a while, and I eat rice too rarely." Most of the time they eat noodles, and even if there is rice, it is all old rice, and no one buys this kind of rice in the Central Plains. ”

"A good thing is a good thing, no one can say that this is bad, but the problem is that we can't grow rice in this place. Of course, this can't be blamed on Lord Thorn Shi, if he doesn't test it, we don't know, but now we all know. The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Yan Chenghou sighed, asked something else, and then gave the shopkeeper half a copper coin, and the shopkeeper went out happily.

Yan Chenghou did not stay in Qiuzhou for long, and returned to Zhenxi County out of the city with a cart and hired craftsmen.

These days, Yang Ze is not idle, all day long just keep studying the production of tea bricks, in the theoretical research of the method of making zuò, finally a big step, but can not practice, so it is no different from not researching, can not make the tea bricks he imagined, the main reason is that it is now winter, fermentation is more difficult, due to the backwardness of the method of making zuò, can not solve this problem, have to wait for the weather to warm up to carry out.

The New Year is coming soon, although the west of the town is poor, but the atmosphere of the New Year is no different from the Central Plains, the people who have extra money at home all make new clothes for their children, and the streets are full of children jumping around, and the city is full of joy.

On this day, Caicai came to Yang Ze and said to him: "In the past, during the Chinese New Year, the previous county order always asked people to set off firecrackers, which can be loud, why don't you ask people to release them, is it too expensive to set off firecrackers?" ”

Yang Ze said with a smile: "Do you see that I am a person who thinks things are expensive, the firecracker thing is to listen to a sound, there is nothing good, you want to listen to it, and when it is Chinese New Year's Eve this year, come out to see the excitement, I asked Yan Chenghou to go to the state to do New Year's goods, let him buy firecrackers." By the way, didn't you come to me just to talk about firecrackers? ”

Nana said: "Well, there is something else. I've heard others say that you've been worrying about it these days, it's about researching the production of zuò tea bricks, and you can't find a way, right? ”

Yang Ze thought to himself: "I don't know who is so quick to talk to her about this." He shook his head and said: "There is a way, but now the weather is cold, the tea is not good for fermentation, and there is no suitable tea second, it is estimated that you have to wait a little longer, when the weather is hot, you can start making zuò, why do you ask this?" ”

Cai Cai said: "Don't you know, didn't you give a lot of things to my family when you first came, there is what you said, that kind of fermented tea, but it's not tea bricks, there are a lot of them!" ”

Yang Ze was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there one?" How I didn't know! ”

He came to Zhenxi from Chang'an on the way, a lot of purchases, see what is good, he buys anything, but because he bought too much, some things have been bought and forgotten, I really can't remember, and he bought tea is actually to give it away, he doesn't drink much, and the fermented tea is not cheap in the Central Plains, it is for the rich to drink, when he buys tea, he hears people say that it is good, the price is high, and he bought it as a good tea, at that time I didn't know what process the tea was made of, and then naturally I couldn't remember!

Yang Ze was overjoyed and said, "Do you have fermented tea there?" Oh, this is great, I also asked Yan Chenghou to go to the state to buy it, I didn't expect you to have it here, can you give it back to me, let me study it! ”

Caicai was waiting for his words, the little girl smiled slightly, and said: "I gave it to me, and I want to ask for it back, you don't have to think about this, it's in vain to think about it." Because I forgot where to put it! ”

Yang Ze heard her words, his eyes narrowed, and he thought, "It seems that she still wants to find that prince!" Hehe, now that the horse has it, it's just a short of the travel expenses, she wants to get some travel expenses from me, I gave her a lot of things, but there is no money, who said that the little girl's mind is not easy to guess, I didn't guess it! ”

After thinking about it, Yang Ze said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you can find that tea or not, anyway, Yan Chenghou will be back soon, and he will bring it back." He spread his hands indifferently and shook his head, indicating that it didn't matter.

Sure enough, Caicai's heart was guessed, she didn't know the situation on the Balluhun side, and she didn't know that because Dafang forbade trade with the Balluhun tribes, Dafang's money was not circulated in Balluhun and could not be used, and there was no currency on Balluhun's side, so if she went out, it didn't matter if she had money or not, it was better to pour a few skins of wine and go to the grassland to exchange wine for anything.

Caicai saw that Yang Ze didn't care, so she got up, grabbed Yang Ze, and said, "Hey, why are you like this, I have a big bag of tea there, if you don't want it, throw it in the house and grow hair?" If you give me two dollars, I'll give you back the tea. ”

Yang Ze remembered what the princess had entrusted him to do, and he wanted to watch the vegetables and not let her run around on the grassland. So, he said: "You want money, it's easy, and you don't need to pay me back the tea, the tea is still for the prince to drink, we can make a bet, if you lose, then promise me a condition, if I lose, then give you two pieces of money, what do you think?" ”

Nana tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "What conditions?" You've got to say it first, and if I can do it, I can make a bet with you! ”

Yang Ze looked at her serious appearance, and laughed in his heart, bet with me, you are doomed! He said: "Of course you can do it, the condition is that you are not allowed to go out of the city within a month, how about it, this condition is not too much, right?" "It's been too long, she definitely won't agree, first stabilize her for a month, wait a month, and then make a new bet with her.

Nana lowered her head and thought for a while, her face was embarrassed, and after a long time, she made up her mind, nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you, what kind of bet do you want to make?" ”

Yang Ze asked her to wait for a while, he took out the pen and paper by himself, turned his back to Caicai, wrote a few words on the paper, folded the paper carefully, and then turned around and said to the little girl: "I can pinch and calculate, I can predict what you will say in the next word, if I predict correctly, then I win, if I predict wrong, even if you win, do you think it is okay?" ”

Caicai snorted, nonsense, you are not a fortune teller, how can you figure out what I am going to say next, I will win this bet, she nodded heavily and said, "Okay!" ”

Yang Ze laughed and said, "I won, what I just predicted is that you will say the next word!" As he spoke, he opened a third of the folded paper, revealing a single word, which was a good word!

Nana was taken aback and opened her mouth wide, and then she realized that she had been fooled! She shouted: "It's you who asked me if I'm okay, of course I have to answer, how can this be counted as your win, it's you who cheat, this time it doesn't count, let's do it again!" ”

Yang Ze said triumphantly: "Okay, then come again, let's start, you think about it, don't open your mouth if you don't think about it, lest you say that I'm cheating, it's going to be, it's going to begin, it's really starting this time, you must be ready!" Hey, I warned you in advance, you won't say I'm cheating anymore, are you? ”

He worked so hard to get Caicai ready, Nana was already nervous, but he forgot that he couldn't talk nonsense, and when he asked the last sentence, Caicai naturally said casually: "No, you just start quickly, I'm ready...... Prepare...... ......" Before she could finish speaking, she realized that she had been fooled again!

Because, at this time, Yang Ze opened the second fold of the paper even more proudly, and there were two big words "no" clearly written on it! (To be continued......)
