Start from bad people and add some practice

In the early morning of this day, Liu Ziji pushed open the door.

After walking for less than 2 minutes, I saw an early morning stall.

The stalls are very simple, just sheds made of coarse cloth.

However, there were not many guests, on the contrary, it was very lively.

This breakfast stall actually existed before Liu Ziji moved, and Liu Ziji ate breakfast here these days.

After thinking for a while, Liu Ziji walked over.

The stall owner was a fat man, and he greeted Liu Ziji warmly when he saw him.

"Hey, son, are you here again? What do you want today?"

Liu Ziji found a seat, sat down, and said, "As usual, here are two baskets of steamed stuffed buns and a bowl of Hu spicy soup."

"okay!"

Soon, the steamed stuffed bun and hot pepper soup were served by a young man.

The boy is the son of the stall owner, and he is basically here to help.

After breakfast, Liu Ziji gave the breakfast money to the boss.

Unexpectedly, the stall owner smiled shyly, "My lord, you don't have enough money."

Liu Ziji asked in surprise, "Isn't it ten Wen?"

The stall owner said: "The price has increased, now it's twelve cents."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Liu Ziji would misunderstand that he had changed the price without authorization, so he immediately explained: "My lord, I am not willing to raise the price, but the imperial court is going to jointly attack Baiyue with South Korea recently. If there is a war, everything will go up." I’m in a small business, if I don’t raise the price, I’ll lose money.”

"Is the imperial court going to fight Baiyue?" Liu Ziji frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, where is Baiyue?"

The imperial court mentioned by the stall owner is actually the Kingdom of Shu, because the city of Yuzhou was originally the city of the Kingdom of Shu.

However, why did the Kingdom of Shu attack Baiyue together with South Korea?

Liu Ziji was a little confused.

In the memory of the original owner, he is familiar with various countries in the north.

After all, the state of Jin is in the north, and it even deals with the Khitans and Mongols in the north every day.

But for the South, little is known about it.

He generally only knows that there seems to be a country called South Korea in the south.

It seems that it was because Qin, Han, Yan and other countries lost to Tang, Ming, Song and other countries in the competition for hegemony in the Central Plains that they ran to the southwest.

However, the specific orientation of these countries is not well understood.

The stall owner was not surprised by Liu Ziji's doubts.

From the outside, Liu Ziji looked like a young master who didn't know much about the world, and it was normal for him to know little about these things.

He patiently explained: "This Baiyue is to the west of our Shu Kingdom. A hundred years ago, Baiyue was defeated by the coalition forces of Ming and Song. In recent years, under the leadership of Prince Baiyue, Lord Chimei, Baiyue repeatedly violated the border, and the imperial court decided to attack Baiyue with South Korea!"

After listening to Liu Ziji for a while, he roughly understood the reason why Shu sent troops and the history of Baiyue.

In short, Baiyue never fought against the allied forces of Ming and Song, and was forced to move westward.

It is similar to the reason why the Xiongnu moved westward.

But the strange thing is that the Huns in this world did not move westward, but instead lingered in the north surrounded by many forces.

After knowing the reason for the price increase of steamed stuffed buns, Liu Ziji didn't mess around, but just nodded.

Immediately he made up two more coins.

After making up the money, he didn't leave immediately, but instead said to the boss: "Boss, I need to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter."

"If it's early, can it be delivered to my house every day? In addition to the meal fee, I can give you another money, how about a hundred cash per month?"

If one hundred cash is only used to run errands, it is not a lot, it can even be said to be a huge sum of money.

The stall owner couldn't help asking: "May I ask where the son's residence is?"

Liu Ziji pointed in one direction and said, "The fifth house in the alley ahead is."

"That's not far."

The total walking distance is only two or three minutes, and the stall owner is of course very happy.

He said cheerfully: "Young master, don't worry, I will let my boy deliver it on time every day from now on."

......

After breakfast, Liu Ziji walked around the street for a while, and saw Hao Ge who was selling watermelons.

This guy actually listened to Liu Ziji's order and managed to hide in the city and sell melons.

It's just that the business is not very good, and I haven't seen a single customer for half a day.

Even if there are a few customers, they just ask a few words and leave without even intending to buy.

Like a ghost, Liu Ziji walked towards the melon stand.

Seeing Liu Ziji walking over, Hao Ge was about to kneel down on one knee to salute, but Liu Ziji coughed.

"Brother, how much is your melon per catty?"

Hao Ge was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Liu Ziji meant.

This is to tell him not to expose.

So Hao Ge went down the donkey and said, "One tael of silver."

Liu Ziji was dumbfounded.

It is so expensive, no wonder the business is not good!

One tael of silver and one melon, only a fool would buy it!

And shouldn't melons be sold by the catty?What about that?

"Is your melon rind made of gold? Or are the melons made of gold? Are they so expensive?"

"Look, how can there be melons now? These are all hard-earned melons. You think it's too expensive and I think it's too expensive!"

"Are your melons ripe?"

"If you don't know me well, I don't want money. Are you satisfied?"

"Pick me one."

"Row!"

While speaking, Liu Ziji walked to Hao Ge's side.

Hao Ge really picked a melon for him, and took a few good shots.

"Where did you get this melon?" Liu Ziji whispered.

Hao Ge also replied in a low voice: "I would like to report to the lord, this subordinate took it from a melon farmer. This subordinate has already reached a deal with him, and I will help him sell melons in the future, and I will get a share of the melon sales at the same time." don't want."

"You are selling too expensive. Anyone with a heart can tell that you are not really selling melons."

Liu Ziji said something, then suddenly said: "You haven't poisoned this melon, have you?"

"Not poisonous, these are ordinary melons."

"That's good."

Liu Ziji cut a piece of melon, then patted Hao Ge on the shoulder, and said, "Work hard, relax."

After speaking, he took the melon and left.

Hao Ge was taken aback.

It wasn't because Liu Ziji didn't give the money, but his words seemed a bit difficult to understand.

Work hard and relax...how can it be both?

......

Soon, Liu Ziji came to a restaurant called Zuixianlou again.

The name of the restaurant is very artistic, but it is actually an ordinary restaurant.

And business is normal.

The reason why the business is mediocre is not because the food is unpalatable, but because the prices are a bit high.

When Liu Ziji first came in, a middle-aged man seemed to be talking to the waiter.

Even with his back turned to him, Liu Ziji couldn't help feeling a kind of pressure rushing towards his face.

This person's martial arts is probably not low, and his inner strength is stronger than his own if nothing else!

Moreover, this person seemed to be extremely vigilant, always guarding against sneak attacks from behind.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man handed over the money to Xiao Er, picked up the packed meals and left.

And Liu Ziji also saw the face of the middle-aged man.

This is a very ordinary middle-aged man with a goatee and the smell of books.

He looks like a hermit scholar who stays humble and returns to the garden.

For this person, Liu Ziji immediately felt familiar.

Immediately afterwards, he recognized his identity.

Uncle Yang!

Tianlixing among the 36 lieutenants of Tiangang, the bad guy!
