Chapter 18 Instant Noodles

The lid of the pot was opened and the aroma bomb exploded instantly.

In the big pot where there was only soup, a full pot of noodles had expanded, curved, golden and shiny, and there were oil stars floating on the upper layer, which made people feel very appetizing at first glance.

Zhou Qian couldn't help but widen her eyes, and the other four strong men were drooling.

Qi Shan couldn't help but smile and clapped his palms: "Don't stand there, just start to do it!"

Zhao Qian agreed, picked up a big bowl and went forward. According to Qi Shan's words, he filled half a bowl of noodles and took half a bowl of soup. After it was done, he delivered it to Qi Shan first.

Qi Shan nodded and then turned around to get their own.

Seeing that they were a little uncomfortable, Qi Shan simply ignored them.

I picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into my mouth, chewed it in a big mouthful and swallowed it. The refreshing hot soup went into my throat. The satisfaction was really indescribable.

Today’s instant noodles are very delicious!

As I was savoring, I heard the jingling sound next to me.

Four strong men squatted in a row, each holding a big bowl of sea in his hands, like a wind blowing in the clouds, eating noodles in big mouthfuls, and his eyes shining while eating. It was obvious that he was feeling the deliciousness.

Zhou Qian stood beside her, her eating habits were obviously much more gentle. She deliberately turned her body to the direction of the wall and covered most of the noodles eating action, but Qi Shan could still see the big sea bowl with a descent speed visible to the naked eye.

Qi Shan Xiaoxiao finished the last little noodles.

He stood up and walked out: "You guys eat slowly, I'll go to the yard for a walk!"

One of the vague responses was that the subsequent meal was even more wild.

Although the General's Mansion was burned once, half of the buildings were barely available. In addition to the small courtyard where Qishan now lives, the courtyard next door is also quite complete.

Qi Shan pushed the door and walked in. He saw the neatly arranged stone locks. The ground was covered with yellow sand. It seemed that this place should be a training ground.

The dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu lived here.

Thinking of this name, Qi Shan couldn't help but smile.

The officers and soldiers in front have been burned to white ground, and the wings on both sides collapsed and have not yet had time to repair them.

I went to the kitchen for a walk, and Qishan accidentally discovered that there were a lot of oysters piled up in the warehouse, each of which was the size of a football.

There are also some half-person-high buckets that contain a lot of strange seafood, including fish, prawns, seaweed and so on.

It gives Qi Shan the feeling that he has entered a seafood wholesale market.

Next to the pot table in the front hall, a large vat half a person was found, full of oyster meat.

Looking at the empty pot next to it, it was obvious that these things were originally dinners for Zhao Qian and the others.

It seems that I don’t need to dig anymore, this is pretty good.

The back house seems to be relatively serious, and you can still see blood on the ground and messy traces of the small garden while walking.

In the center, there are also knife marks on the pillars of the pavilion, which look quite ferocious under the moonlight.

"Major General!"

Zhou Qian's voice came, and Qi Shan did not turn around and said directly: "Are you full?"

"I'm full!"

“How is it?”

"This is a delicacy that is hard to find in the world!"

While talking, a trace of aftertaste flashed in Zhou Qian's eyes, and she subconsciously licked her little lips.

Qi Shan smiled and turned around: "That's good. I will bring out more delicious food in the future. Just don't be too surprised!"

"I understand!" Zhou Qian was slightly expectant, but more happy.

Not for yourself, but for Heilin Township.

Zhou Qian suddenly remembered something and took out a few copper coins from her belt: "Major General, this is the copper coins you asked me to find before. There are three types of patterns, all of which are the most widely circulated.

As for silver and gold, there are no specific templates, and you can use them freely as long as you have enough purity.

Usually, the transactions between ordinary people use copper coins, and gold and silver can only be seen in the Jinyin Building!”

Qi Shan took the copper coins and watched them carefully through the moonlight.

The size and shape of the copper coins are almost the same, with three colors and only three different letterings.

Backing, Nanyang, Xijing.

The first two characters are different, and the last two characters are unified as Tongbao.

"Major General, our Great Zhou implements a feudal system. Although the style is limited on precious metals, the lords are not prohibited from distributing copper coins on their own. Most of them are distinguished by the name of the city." Zhou Qian explained.

Qi Shan was a little strange: "Since it used to be the same style and could be issued by itself, wouldn't anyone be short of weight and replace the pillars?"

"Of course there are, and there are quite a few, but once they are discovered, their reputation will be ruined! Merchants are connected with each other, communicate with each other, and the message is transmitted faster. Once a peer in a place is short of weight, then all merchants will resist each other.

You may gain certain benefits in a short period of time, but it is absolutely impossible in the long run!”

Speaking of this, Zhou Qian hesitated for a moment and continued: "I heard that many merchants will melt copper coins into copper ware and make exquisite ware to sell to the public, which can add a lot of value, so there are always very few copper coins on the market."

Qi Shan's eyes lit up slightly: "So, is it because the people have little money that they barter?"

"That's true, so the purchasing power of copper coins is always very good, and merchants also like to collect copper coins!"

Qi Shan nodded, his eyes flashing.

The next day, Qi Shan still took Zhao Qian around the town for a day.

The more I see, the more I understand. Although I have a shorter contact time, I can more or less understand the lifestyle of Heilin Township.

The people offer food, drink, defecation and sacrificial food in the city lord's mansion.

Every day when these more than a dozen households get sea goods, they will give a small portion to the city lord's mansion, which is a tax to some extent.

On the surface, the people seemed to think that offerings were taken for granted and were even happy to maintain this situation. After all, in their opinion, seafood is not expensive, and they just transported things from the city lord's mansion to the house from outside.

As long as you work part of your labor, you can enjoy the food from the city lord's mansion. This is actually they took advantage of it.

I went back at noon and dried half a box of instant noodles. The four strong men were so fed up with oil. They seemed to feel a little disgusted. Seeing that Qi Shan was still not staying in the city lord's mansion in the afternoon, they went directly to repair the city wall.

The repair method is also very simple. It is not a very strong thing. You only need to demolish the abandoned house and block the hole with a special weaving method. Although it is a bit simple, it can be used barely.

Qi Shan saw it and silently added cement to the procurement list.
