Chapter 24: Encounter with a scoundrel

"Tomorrow, the child wants to go to the market with Miss Qin." At the dinner table, Zhao Kuo said his thoughts, the meal is very simple, and it is very delicious to eat, these days practicing martial arts every day is indeed a bit boring, and now the swordsmanship is a little successful, it's time to go out and relax and relax, being the same as practicing martial arts, you can't always be tense all day.

Mother Zhao nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, look at how boring it is to accompany you every day since Miss Qin came to our house, go out and take a look, remember to buy some decent things for your mother to help Wan'er." ”

"No, not really." For Zhao's mother's kindness, Qin Wan hurriedly declined.

"It's right to listen to my mother's words, Kuo'er, it's so decided, go out and have fun, don't rush back."

Zhao Kuo took the rice bowl and agreed, thinking about his current situation, he suddenly felt embarrassed, not to mention buying things to give away, even if he fell in love, he didn't have money to buy them, it was difficult to rob them, a penny was difficult to beat the hero, it seems that he had to find a way to get some money, and the most suitable object was the loving mother in front of him.

If you don't say how much a loving mother is defeated, I can't figure out for a while whether men are in charge of money or women in this era, dinner dispersed, Zhao Kuo quietly slipped out of the room, and came to a room door along the root of the wall, with a lamp lit inside, a figure could be vaguely seen swaying back and forth, Zhao Kuo knocked on the door panel, the door opened with a creak, and Zhao's mother poked her head out of it, "Kuo'er, is there something wrong with your mother?" ”

Zhao Kuo looked aggrieved, pouted and didn't speak, just stood at the door and didn't go in, Zhao's mother looked at it in her eyes and pulled Zhao Kuo with her hand, "You kid, you talk, you usually talk like a river, why are you still playing with your mother now!" ”

"Don't blame the child for this, my mother has to buy something for Miss Qin!"

"It's my mother who said, why shouldn't it, teach you to practice swords every day, rain or shine, who can stand it if you change to another girl, you kid is really in the blessing and don't know the blessing, let you buy something to give to others, it seems that you have been wronged."

"It should be, it's just that the child's pocket is cleaner than his face, what do you take to buy things for others!"

Zhao's mother suddenly woke up, "It's all my mother who is confused for a while, you child, if you want money, just talk to your mother, and you are still beating around the bush, what is in your pocket, you almost didn't confuse your mother, waiting here." With that, he turned around and went in.

Zhao Kuo looked proud, easily solved the problem to avoid worries, and was even more curious, what was the money like during the Warring States Period, it seemed that there were copper coins later, and it didn't take long for Zhao's mother to walk out of it, carrying a cloth bag in her hand, with a rope tied to it, and it didn't seem to be light in her hand.

Put it in Zhao Kuo's palm with a bang, Zhao Kuo was stunned, what the hell is this, he will definitely not lie to himself, "Thank you, mother!" ”

"When I see a good Zhu Hai, remember to buy one for Wan'er, what a good-looking girl just doesn't like to dress up." Zhao Kuo promised to leave quickly, returned to the room and closed the door, and fell on the table with a bang, indescribably weird, but a bunch of strangely shaped pieces of iron, some were shovel-shaped, some seemed to be knives, with three round holes on them, which should be Zhao Guo's coins.

The weight in the hand is not light, this time is really troublesome, even if the rich businessmen in the world are rich, but they just have these iron guys, and the transportation is even more troublesome, where can they be compared with their own era, and everything is solved with a few cards in their wallets.

After a night without words, after breakfast, Zhao's mother couldn't help but explain, except for people with special identities in Handan City, the rest of the people were not allowed to carry weapons, Qin Wan had to put away the long sword with him, the two of them packed up their ropes, went out of the house, and looked at the crowd of people coming and going, some hawkers were selling along the street, and from time to time there were bursts of aroma.

Zhao Kuo sniffled vigorously, his eyes looked left and right from time to time, and finally saw a stall not far away, a large oil pot, with firewood under the oil pot, and the fried things were placed on it with golden yellow, and the aroma came from here.

"Would you like to try it?"

"Childe, forget it."

Zhao Kuo pointed to his waist, obviously much bulging than usual, and made a look, Qin Wan stepped forward, and a small bowl came by himself, the yellow one is meat, and the green one is the vegetable leaves, there is a crispy feeling in the mouth, and there is a unique fragrance inside, I don't know what to make it with.

"Delicious! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. ”

"The guest officer is a connoisseur at first glance, and he eats it at once!" The shopkeeper kept in his hands, and when he heard Zhao Kuo's words of praise, he replied, and the oil in the iron pot kept tumbling, and his hands never stopped.

"Two more bowls."

"Two bowls of fried puff pastry!" The shopkeeper's voice is long, and the special tone can't help but make people laugh, two bowls of crispy meat come up, and Qin Wan is not polite, and one bowl quickly bottoms out.

"Shopkeeper, how much does it cost?"

This is the first time Zhao Kuo spent money by himself in the Warring States Period, and he felt a little bottomless, "Guest officer, a total of half a knife!" ”

"Half a knife?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "It's usually the price." ”

Zhao Kuo's surprise as long as he didn't understand why it was called half a knife, suddenly remembered those strange shapes of coins that his mother gave him, and took out a knife-shaped one from it and put it in the palm of the store's hand, and the store quickly took out a smaller coin from a small box, shaped like half a knife, and finally figured out that what he gave should be a knife, this is a half knife.

Addicted to enough, a full burp, along the market has been forward, pedestrians come and go, leading horses and pushing carts, Handan City as the capital of Zhao State, the population is not less than hundreds of thousands, in such a chaotic Warring States era is already a metropolis, there are all kinds of ornaments on the ground, but I don't see the mother said Zhu Hai, Zhao Kuo how to know, this kind of Zhu Hai can only be bought in a special store, and some special styles have to be booked in advance.

"Oops!" An exclamation was accompanied by a figure falling to the ground, Zhao Kuo hurriedly followed the sound and looked, it seemed that he had been touched just now, but he didn't do anything, that person did fall to the ground and rolled on the ground with his stomach in his arms, and immediately a few people jumped over, "How long are your eyes, hitting people in broad daylight." ”

Damn, I met a porcelain bumper in the Warring States Period, and I obviously didn't hit it, and the people around me suddenly surrounded me, pointing and pointing from time to time, and the person who fell to the ground let out a painful cry in his mouth.

Qin Wan's figure forward, Zhao Kuo hurriedly stopped it, with Qin Wan's temperament, if she can't get it, she will die, after all, this is Handan, and there is always a legal constraint.

"So what do you say?"

"What to do!" The three of them are a little thin, one has a straw in his mouth, one tilts his head, and one twists his nose with his hand, at first glance he is a scoundrel in the bazaar, most of them see that they are dressed luxuriously, so they dare to come up and ask for benefits.

The scoundrel with the straw in his mouth approached, and looked Zhao Kuo up and down, "What do you say?" ”

"A few big brothers might as well lay out a path and see if the younger brother can work."

"Yo, this kid is very good, but he has saved a lot of trouble, and he will be exempted from suing the official, but this medical expense cannot be saved."

"I don't know how much?"

"At least that's the number." After speaking, gesture with your hand.

"Ten knives!"

"Phew, do you think it's called Hanako, ten knives, not enough to stuff your teeth, a hundred knives, not one less."

"A hundred knives, this is not a lie!"

"These are scoundrels and cannot be provoked." The onlookers suddenly discussed, some people recognized, the leader was called Lai San, and the one lying on the ground was called Dog Liu, this person had no other skills, he was wandering in the market on weekdays, and he fell down when he touched it, and he was thin and lying in his eyes, and he suddenly felt a little pitiful in his eyes, just thinking about the lack of virtue that these scoundrels did on weekdays, one by one hated his teeth.

"What's wrong with slandering people, you can't miss a hundred knives, otherwise you will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth."

"Yes, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it."

"This kid has a hard mouth! Is it to be a man in front of the girl, don't pretend to be a bear when you are beaten for a while. After speaking, his eyes fell on Qin Wan on the side, his eyes were full of teasing, if it wasn't for Zhao Kuo to stop him just now, it would have been this outrageous scoundrel who was looking for teeth all over the ground.

"I want to try it!"

The ploppy dog who has been lying on the ground and wailing got up from the ground at once, nothing at all, most of them heard that someone did not admit it, and it was futile to pretend to go down, the best way is to use force, the dog six bent over, two hands hanging in front of him, a pair of attractive ears, this appearance is indeed not ruined by this name.

Lai San stepped forward and deliberately lowered his voice, "Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink, it's thirty knives." ”

Zhao Kuo didn't buy it at all, and snorted coldly, "Don't say thirty, there is no one!" ”
