Chapter 9: The City's Experience 1

As soon as Ding He ran away, the people watching the excitement dispersed one after another when they saw that there was nothing to see. However, Liu Ximing noticed a few pairs of disappointed eyes passing over him and knew that they were the vegetable farmers just now. He was speechless.

This is ridiculous, just sell a dish and you can make it into the story of Yanxi Palace. The poorer you are, the more cunning you become!

Seeing the gangsters running away in fear because of a few words from a scholar, Liu Ximing's concept of scholars was refreshed once again.

In the past, when I watched TV dramas, I always thought that a scholar was a poor scholar. How could I know that a scholar is a poor man? However, people can meet officials without bowing to them. When necessary, they can even bow to the magistrate with a post. If someone encounters an insignificant person like Ding He, the magistrate will

It's just a matter of convenience for me to do it for you.

Liu Ximing quickly saluted Chen Jianzhang and said, "Thank you, scholar, for your help." He also saluted Chen Yining and said, "Thank you, uncle."

When Chen Jianzhang saw that Liu Ximing behaved very politely, he immediately became interested and asked with a smile: "You are a young man, do you know what righteousness is?"

Liu Ximing bowed and replied: "Conscious of conduct but forgetting profit, keeping integrity but upholding righteousness, this is what we call it!"

Fortunately, the original owner still had a lot of book knowledge in his memory. Liu Ximing quoted the words of Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty to praise Chen Jianzhang, which means praising him for caring about his conduct and forgetting personal gain, and for keeping his integrity and upholding justice.

Chen Jianzhang looked surprised and sighed: "Brother Wenmao has a long history of studying in his family! It's a pity that he left early. Have you ever studied?"

Liu Ximing pointed to the basket on which he was selling vegetables and said: "My father died young and my family had no savings, so I had to take care of supporting the family first. However, my father once enlightened me, so I study some scriptures by myself at home on weekdays."

Chen Jianzhang showed a regretful expression: "You still have to study, don't succumb to your father's ambition!"

Chen Yining saw them talking at the side. Thinking that it was getting late, he said to Liu Ximing and Liu Ximing: "Today I made an appointment with Brother Xiwen to have dinner together. Since we met, let's come together!"

Liu Ximing looked at the few vegetables left in the basket and hesitated. When Chen Jianzhang saw it, he burst out laughing: "What's the big deal about a few vegetables? The shopkeeper of Zui Xianju knows me well. I will sell the vegetables to him when the time comes."

He is."

Liu Ximing and Li Biao then packed up their things and followed them to Zuixianju.

As soon as he arrived at the store, Chen Jianzhang pointed to Liu Ximing and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Zhao, your shop consumes a lot of meat and vegetables every day. Today, my old friend's son still has some vegetables that have not been sold, so you can collect them together."

Well, just give me some money."

Shopkeeper Zhao had a businessman's smile on his face: "How dare you disobey Chen Xiucai's instructions? Waiter, take him to the kitchen and weigh the dishes."

After hearing what Chen Jianzhang said, Liu Ximing couldn't say that his dish cost eight cents per catty, so he had to follow Li Biao to the kitchen to weigh the dish. Remembering that his uncle's family was not well-off, it would probably cost Chen Jianzhang today.

There was a lot of sales, not to mention the two of us. Oh, I forgot about Li Biao, a foodie, so he told the waiter to pay the bill together later. After leaving the kitchen, Liu Ximing immediately said to Li Biao: "Brother Biaozi,

There will be guests later, so you can’t eat with your mouth open. We’ll eat something else when we’re done here.”

Li Biao looked aggrieved: "I can't eat enough!"

..."Don't worry, I'll take care of it later!" Liu Ximing was helpless.

After the wine was drunk, Chen Yining talked to Chen Jianzhang about his article review. Being short-tongued, and it was a trivial matter, Chen Jianzhang immediately patted his chest and confirmed it. Then the two of them started talking nonsense, and Liu Ximing knew that this kind of situation would be inappropriate.

If I can't interrupt, I'll just listen to the news and anecdotes.

Perhaps because he had drunk too much, Chen Jianzhang actually talked about current affairs. He said with a sad look on his face: "The mediocrity has caused the world to collapse like this. Last year, Kong Youde in Shandong rebelled and Denglai was almost razed to the ground. This year, officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed Shaanxi.

The thieves did not work hard, but tens of thousands of people were turned around by the thieves, and they still cannot be exterminated. I don’t know what the purpose of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty was. Now even our Sichuan is gradually becoming chaotic, with thieves everywhere, but Zhongcheng Liu Hanru only has to do it every day.

I know how to recite poems and write poems, but I can't solve the chaos in Shu. It's really a waste of time for me to serve as a minister."

"Brother Xiwen, be careful." Chen Yiding was still not drunk at all. Hearing him talk nonsense about Sichuan Governor Liu Ruhan, he knew that if others heard it, it would not end well at that time, so he was frightened and quickly changed the subject.

Liu Ximing felt a little regretful on the sidelines. Information is valuable at any time. As a student scholar, Chen Jianzhang has certain channels to access external information. The more you listen to him, the easier it will be for you to understand this era. Which era?

I knew I was interrupted by my uncle.

After finishing the meal, Chen Yining prepared to pay the bill with a heartbroken look on his face, but found that the shopkeeper had also offset the money from the food sold by Liu Ximing from the account. He felt warm in his heart and felt more and more that his nephew was sensible.

The shopkeeper finished the calculation and took the money with a smile, then turned to Liu Ximing and said, "Brother, your food is pretty good. If you still have it, you can send it over directly."

Liu Ximing said with a happy face: "Of course, I don't know how much the shopkeeper needs, and my dish usually sells for ten cents per catty, I don't know if you want it?"

Shopkeeper Zhao thought for a while: "Ten coins per catty is a bit expensive, but your food is really good. Let's count you eight coins per catty. I want one hundred catties every day. What do you think?"

Liu Ximing was just for counter-offering, so why wouldn't he agree to such a good thing? As a modern person, he certainly knows the benefits of a dedicated restaurant. Not only is the demand stable, but he doesn't have to squat every day. He hurriedly made an appointment with shopkeeper Zhao to deliver food tomorrow.

Little did he know that behind the kitchen curtain, the cook from Zuixianju was staring at him with an unhappy expression.

Chen Jianzhang and Chen Yining were so drunk that they said goodbye to each other immediately. Chen Yining smiled and asked Liu Ximing: "This is your first time to support the family and this happened to you. How do you feel about it?"

Liu Ximing returned seriously: "Today I know the wonders of fame!"

Hahaha, Chen Yining laughed happily: "Now that you know the secret, you must strive to go to school and get the honors as soon as possible, so that your mother can be honored." He looked at the sky and said to Liu Ximing and Liu Ximing: "I have finished my work in Fucheng.

, I’m going back soon, what are your plans?”

Liu Ximing replied: "It's still early, let's go shopping in the city and buy some things before returning."

Chen Yining nodded, thinking about his family's situation, and asked: "Is there anything going on at your home recently? If you can't get things done, come to my house and see me."

Liu Ximing suddenly felt a warm current welling up from his heart. Looking at his uncle's expression when he paid the bill, he knew that he didn't have much money left, but he could still say such words. Liu Ximing was so grateful that he bowed down immediately.

He said: "It won't be any big deal. After this period of time, my nephew will come to visit and say thank you."

After bidding farewell to his uncle, Liu Ximing has not forgotten about Li Biao, a foodie. There is nothing he can do about it. No one can stand the sight of a burly man looking at you expectantly!

"Okay, okay, let's go find something to eat, big eater!"

The two of them first found a small alley. Liu Ximing put down his backpack cautiously and saw a large pile of copper coins wrapped in cloth, weighing at least seven or eight kilograms. He quickly took out dozens of coins from his backpack.

, and carried the broken silver among them on his body.

Li Biao was also surprised when he saw so many copper coins: "Why did we sell so much money today? Normally I only get one or two hundred coins."

Liu Ximing smiled and said nothing. He took advantage of the chaos and took out a lot of dishes from the space. He got up and took Li Biao to the noodle stall at the entrance of the alley.

"Staff, give me three bowls of big bowls of noodles!" Li Biao was heard muttering in a low voice: "How can I be full with such a small amount?"

Liu Ximing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Biaozi, finish what you ordered first. I told you to open your mouth and eat today. I treat you!"

Li Biao suddenly beamed.

By the time he came out of the noodle stall, Liu Ximing had already received a blow of 10,000 points. He didn't care about money. He only had a few tens of pennies. But Biao Guo Guo, are you the reincarnation of a pig just like a hyena? You ate such a big bowl.

Ten bowls, you are worse than X Zijun!

Then Liu Ximing started wandering around the city. Li Biao finally had a full meal today and followed behind him with a backpack on his back with a satisfied look on his face.

The entire Shunqing Fucheng was built along the river, forming a rectangle due to terrain restrictions. Liu Ximing was originally from Nanchong, so he naturally knew that the location of this ancient city was actually the modern Shunqing District. The side of Yangfu Gate where they entered this morning was lined with residential buildings and

On the other side of the market square is the Confucian Temple.

Walking to Kong'er Street next to the Confucian Temple, Liu Ximing looked at the inscriptions on the street and felt dazed for a while. He was still studying at Kong'er Street Primary School. Who knew that it was already four hundred years ago when he looked back. Suddenly, Liu Ximing felt evil

It's interesting to think that if we become prosperous in the future, we will buy this place and bury a monument with the words "Study hard, make progress every day, and have a great XX years", hahaha, I really want to see their expressions.

Walking south along the Confucian Temple is the building complex composed of Shunqing Academy and Confucius Temple. Buildings such as Mingfeng Pavilion, Chongsheng Temple, Dacheng Hall, Dacheng Gate, Lingxing Gate, Longmen and Panchi echo each other, with cornices and corners.

There were row upon row of pavilions and pavilions, which made Liu Ximing exclaim, "It's so beautiful, it's nothing more beautiful than this!"
