The city gates are closed and they cannot enter the city, so the two of them are planning to stay in a carriage shop outside the city that specializes in resting for those who cannot enter the city, and wait until they enter the city the next day.
Baoyu County is not a big city, but the car and horse shop outside the city is not small in size. There are several car and horses tied at the door of the shop, and half of the tables and chairs in the hall are sitting on the tables and chairs, and chatting while having supper.
Lin Haoming looked at his extraordinary demeanor, and there was Wuniu, a servant, following him, so the guy was sharp-eyed and came to greet him immediately.
Lin Haoming was on the road and passed by a county town, he took out a bronze wine glass and sold it, and exchanged it for some black jade money.
There are two types of black jade coins here, one is round money and the other is square money. In fact, there are two different qualities of black jade. The round money is made of rarer and purer black jade, while the square money is made of gray-black low-grade black jade. There is a hundred times difference between the two. Of course, in essence, the weight of round money is much heavier, roughly more than twice that of square money. This can also calculate the actual ratio between the two black jades about forty to one.
Lin Haoming's bronze wine glass was sold for thirteen yuan, which was already a lot of money. However, in Wuniu's eyes, Lin Haoming was more like a noble child who had lost his family. He had no choice but to pawn valuable items in his family as a means of money. After he had money, he had to eat and live along the way, which made him even more sure that he was so aware of it.
Lin Haoming didn't care what Wuniu was thinking, but on the way he taught Wuniu to write, at least his own name, and how to write numbers. When he saw Wuniu was serious and very smart, he taught him simple calculation methods, the most basic method of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Wuniu is very attentive and respects Lin Haoming even more. Although he is honest and not good at speaking, he does know in his heart that this is a great skill. If he learns it himself, he will be able to settle down in the future. Therefore, when he arrived in Baoyu County, Wuniu even remembered clearly what Lin Haoming likes to eat. After sitting down in the carriage shop, he took the initiative to register a few dishes and ordered a pot of wine.
Wuniu really treated Lin Haoming as his young master. Although he knew that he was just following him all the way and his father wanted to join his second sister, but when he arrived in this realm, he really had the idea of ​​following Lin Haoming, and he felt a little helpless for a moment.
His approach made people feel that Lin Haoming was a young man who was traveling. Such a young man could be seen in many places in Jingguo. He was tall and powerful. He also learned some kung fu with his father, and he was more like a young man's bodyguard. So after Lin Haoming sat down, many people also looked at him.
The shop guy served the dishes quickly. After putting down the wine pot, the guy suddenly asked with a smile: "Is this young man here to visit Baoyu County?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Haoming looked at the guy and asked casually.
The guy immediately smiled and said, "I see that when the young master came, there was no car driver. Our store had a car driver for rent. Although the county town of Baoyu County is not very big, the nearby Zhouqishan is not small. With a car driver, it can save a lot of effort. Moreover, the price is not expensive, and it only costs fifty square meters a day."
After listening to the guy's words, Lin Haoming realized that this carriage shop was still doing the work of renting a car on a daily basis.
Lin Haoming smiled and just wanted to refuse, the guy continued: "Young master, you don't need to hire a coachman, and the coachman is also a local. He knows everything about the local fun, and even knows some interesting stories. He can still tell stories when he is on the way."
"Oh! What story can this be? " Lin Haoming couldn't help but smile. He had no plans at first, but when he heard the other party telling a story, he could let him know more about demons and monsters. Otherwise, according to what Lin Haoming knew from Wuniu on the way, he had already done that he would go directly to Ming after passing Baoyu County.
"There are so many stories, some of which are even happening now, such as the Che family's strange things." The guy said directly.
"Che family, what's wrong with the Che family?" Wuniu immediately rushed to ask, after all, his second sister was the wife of the Che family.
"This... I have to work hard. Otherwise, I will ask the coachman who just came back to come over to tell you, but the young master cannot let others waste their talk." The guy said with a smile.
"Wu Niu, take five square dollars and treat me as my son and ask everyone to listen to the story." Lin Haoming took the initiative.
"Oh, young master, you are generous. I will ask the kitchen to send two more side dishes." When the shopkeeper heard this, he came over with a smile. Usually, this is also a storyteller, and one square of money is enough.
Although Jingguo is a common black jade, in fact, even if the black jade is completed, there are broken jade and miscellaneous jade as smaller trading units. Even the street stalls will have small scales to collect these broken jade. Therefore, if a complete Fangyu is used to buy pancakes for dry food on Wuniu Road, you can buy at least twenty or thirty pieces. For example, the table of dishes in front of you requires five square jade, and there are wine and meat, which is no longer cheap. If you hire a coachman to tell a story, you can take out so much, which also makes the shopkeeper come over and add two side dishes immediately, otherwise you will not be kind.
After a while, a middle-aged man who looked quite tall came out, and this man was the handlebar style here.
Because most of the shops are passing by, this story is also interesting, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became much quieter.
The coachman deliberately moved a stool and arrived near Lin Haoming. He also took a bowl of water. After drinking half a bowl, he cleared his throat and said, "If you want to talk about the Che family, you have to start with the birthday of the old man of the Che family last year."
The coachman is obviously a little good at speaking. He can grasp the tone of his voice very well. The people around him become quieter, and even if he speaks, he will become quieter, for fear of being unable to hear it clearly.
It seems that this is not the first time the coachman encountered such a situation. He continued: "The old man of the Che family is old and was injured in the war with Ming Kingdom in his early years. After several years, he was a county magistrate and finally couldn't stand it. So he went home to take care of Tiannian. In the past two years, the old man's health has become increasingly poor. Any doctor who passes by or even those with abilities will be invited to the mansion to see if there is any way to extend the old man's life. Last year, the old man invited a Daoist and did a ritual. As a result, the old man's body was much better than before, but after the Daoist left, strange things happened to the Che family."
