Chapter 7, Lu Zhishen and the Bamboo
Having tied the bamboo securely, Zhang Yang shouldered it and said, "Next time, I will tell you about another brother of mine; he is involved with Hongxing."
In the present day of the Tang Dynasty, there are indeed people using paper, although the quantity of paper is quite limited
Pork is something that only ordinary families consume
Li Yue, seeing this scene, curiously asked: "Where did you get these bamboo?"
Li Yue turned around and said, "Anything is fine."
Li Yue, while mending her clothes, looked at Zhang Yang and said, "If you go, I will also go to take a look"
Spread the bamboo out in the yard, and Zhang Yang vaguely remembers the process of making paper
Zhang Yang squeezed through the crowd to buy a portion of pig liver from the butcher who slaughters pigs
It took quite a while to exert effort to fish the bamboo out of the water
Ordinary families cannot afford paper
Zhang Yang glanced at Li Yue
Cheng Chumo asked again, "What happened next? What happened later?"
Is this how it ends
The other party turned to glance at Zhang Yang and asked, "Do we know each other?"
The strong young man said: "A certain family has the surname Cheng"
Li Yue always squints her eyes into a narrow slit when she smiles, "Alright."
... ...
Zhang Yang sat down beside him and said: "You look very much like one of my brothers, his name is Lu Zhishen"
The story of Lu Zhishen and the three punches that killed Zhen Guansi is told in a captivating manner
Zhang Yang said: "How about stir-fried pickled vegetables with pig liver?"
Zhang Yang paid the money and said: "Thank you"
Zhang Yang took out a few coins and glanced at the piece of hind leg meat beside him, saying: "I will give you two more coins, and you can give me that half a jin of hind leg meat as well"
The butcher also said softly, "I will save some for you next time"
The papermaking technique existed as early as the Western Han Dynasty
Pork liver is something that is rarely purchased.
I bought a few more vegetables
Aunt Wang looked at Li Yue's smile, her eyes filled with relief
Aunt Wang looked at Zhang Yang with full anticipation; as long as Zhang Yang agreed, arrangements could be made for Her Highness the Princess to meet His Majesty during the Zhongyuan Festival
Zhang Yang nodded, "The people of Chang'an are simple and honest, and everyone in the city enjoys being helpful"
"Zhen Guansi? What a resounding name, what is its origin?"
is a bully
The butcher wiped the sweat from his brow with his greasy hands and said, "Kid, do you still want the pig liver?"
Zhang Yang looked at the sky and said, "It is getting late; I should head home."
It is likely that they have never fought, and are now sulking by the shore
What is the relationship between hetushu.com and a certain company
Wealthy families often plant a few bamboo stalks in their homes, primarily for ornamental purposes, to enhance the ambiance
Before long, Aunt Yang from next door also returned, carrying a basket in her hand
Zhang Yang approached to examine the quality of the bamboo, which had been soaked in water for a long time, indicating it had been some time.
The strong young man listened to this story, captivated, his expression shifting between turmoil and relief as he followed the experiences of Lu Zhishen
With a bit more force, Cheng Chumo said, "For the sake of Lu Zhishen, I will help you with this favor"
Zhang Yang continued, "My brother roams the underworld, rooting out evil and doing righteous deeds, standing against malevolent forces! He has a round face, large ears, a straight nose, a square mouth, and sports a big beard on the sides of his face. He stands eight feet tall and has a waist measuring ten spans. Back in the day, he was drinking with two brothers when they heard a woman crying..."
Moreover, the quality of the paper is inconsistent
It is also rare to go out and move around
As dawn breaks, the streets of the East Market are already bustling with activity
On weekdays, Li Yue tends to stay at home and rarely goes out
Zhang Yang awkwardly cleared his throat and said: "I am a person who values cleanliness"
For the Tang Dynasty, paper was still not easy to preserve. Given the low production of paper, most people still used bamboo slips to record events
Li Yue asked, "Have you brought the bamboo up?"
The production of paper is not high, resulting in the price of paper being quite expensive
Cheng Chumo glanced and said, "Aren't you going to fish for it yourself?"
On the way home, Zhang Yang passed by Qujiang Pool and unexpectedly saw some bamboo submerged in the water
There are still a series of processes to follow, which are labor-intensive and time-consuming tasks
Especially Aunt Wang's gaze towards Li Yue is not at all like that of an ordinary neighbor; it resembles that of a family elder watching over their own child
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped into the pool with a splash
This story of mutual understanding and camaraderie, filled with boldness and righteousness, is most suitable for passionate youth
Zhang Yang returned home dragging a large bundle of bamboo
Cheng Chumo stood in place, his clothes drenched and still dripping with water
Bamboo, once cut and thrown into the water, is unwanted by anyone
Zhang Yang set down the bamboo and said, "I see these bamboos soaking in the pond and thought it would be a waste not to use them"
The butcher, with a face full of fat, smiled and handed half a jin of pork to Zhang Yang.
The clothes are wet, but at this moment, Cheng Chumo's heart is warm. He looks up at the distance, yearning to live once like Lu Zhishen.
Li Yue smiled and said, "That person must be a fool"
Zhang Yang glanced at Aunt Yang's basket, which contained some silk.
Aunt Wang often brings gifts, and although Li Yue is quite averse to her goodwill, she does not express it.
When leaving the house, Li Yue was still chatting with Aunt Wang
The butcher waved his hand and said, "You're welcome"
Gazing along the shore, I saw a strong young man squatting by the water's edge, with bruises on his face
Zhang Yang tied these bamboo sticks together with hemp rope
The strong young man pulled Zhang Yang and pressed him for answers
After washing his face and refreshing himself, Zhang Yang looked at Li Yue and said, "What do you want to eat?"
Zhang Yang woke up early and found that Li Yue had already been awake, chatting with Aunt Wang next door
These bamboos have all turned into strands after being soaked in water
Lu Zhishen is a character from "Water Margin" written by Master Shi, and one might say that if you know him, it must be a ghost.
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know."
What happened later, what happened afterwards
Zhang Yang patted the other person's shoulder and said: "Brother!"
Zhang Yang was laboriously pounding the bamboo strips, merely smiling without responding
Zhang Yang pointed at the bamboo soaking in the pond and said, "Brother Cheng, could you help me take the bamboo out of the pond?"
Hearing Li Yue say this, Aunt Wang's eyes were filled with joy; His Majesty and the Empress have always missed Li Yue very much
Zhang Yang painstakingly worked on the bamboo, first removing the skin, and then shredding and mashing it.
Li Yue questioned, "Is there such a thing?"
Did your brother report to the authorities after killing someone
Wealthy families all disdain pork
Zhang Yang inquired, "After talking for so long, I still do not know your name."
Aunt Wang, who had just returned, said: "It is said that during the Zhongyuan Festival, lanterns should be released at Qujiang Pool. Will you two go out to have a look then"
The strong young man looked Zhang Yang up and down, took a few steps to the side, and said: "So are you still my brother?"
When it comes to Lu Zhishen saving Lin Chong and offending Gao Qiu, the story abruptly comes to a halt
While tidying up the bamboo, Zhang Yang said, "I encountered a remarkably talented individual on the road. I told him a story, and he helped me gather the bamboo."
My brother Lu Zhishen is quite formidable; he can uproot the weeping willows and kill Zhen Guansi with three punches
