"I heard from Qiao Mu that you have a place to live in the capital?" Wei Yi said with a smile: "Then we can go there earlier. If the school is not open, we will stay at your place."

"That's no problem, you can live wherever you like." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "If school doesn't start, I'll just spend two days in the capital. My sworn brother can be your tour guide now."

"You are really capable," Wei Yi praised, "I heard that your book is going to be published in English?"

"I haven't even written my horoscope yet. The translation is Fu Xia from "Gourmet Detective". Do you think she is reliable?"

"Let me take a look at the translation when the time comes." Wei Yi was embarrassed to say that others were not good enough, so he decided to give Zhou Zhi another insurance, so that he could at least help check it.

The vehicle drove in the direction of Fawang Temple and soon came to Xianshi Town, a small town with beautiful scenery.

Zhou Zhi often passes by here, but he never stops for long, because he is always passing by and then stops to buy the specialties here - soy sauce and balsamic vinegar.

Everyone got off the car here and walked into the town to visit the tomb of a sage.

It is located on the bank of the Hongshui River, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and convenient transportation. Since the Hongshui River has been an important passage for "Sichuan salt entering Guizhou" since ancient times, many villages, ancient towns, and ancient towns have naturally gradually formed along the Chishui River.

As an important wharf and post station on the Hongshui River Salt Transport Ancient Road, Xianshi gradually formed a market, old streets, and shops, and became one of the four ancient places in Jiachuan.

"After that, he resigned from the official position and gave lectures at Baiyuan Academy in Anleshan, teaching rural students and cultivating talents. He also left a poem describing another famous figure in Anleshan."

"Oh, you are all our scholars from Jiachuan. How much honor does this bring to my ancestor's family?" After Zhou Zhi introduced that there were also college students and graduate students in the crowd who had just entered the capital this year, the elder immediately stood in awe: "

Then let’s go home and talk.”

"The descendants left a branch here at that time. After the ancestors were buried, they opened fields to guard the tombs."

After saying that, he opened the incense candle he brought, lit it, and carefully placed it in front of Xian Wang's tomb, leading his friends to bow three times to the tombstone.

"When the emperor ascended the throne, his companion would have been given a high priority. However, he repeatedly petitioned to return to his hometown, and finally came back and became a county magistrate. He had an outstanding reputation in governing the city and was very popular among the people."

Zhou Zhi began to act as a tour guide for everyone: "Because here, in fact, this tomb was built first, and then this town was built."

"What should I do..." The old man felt very embarrassed, but there were too many people here. Someone happened to pass by with a basket of loquats, so he simply bought them to entertain his classmates, and then said: "Actually, this is

The ancestor indicated this place before his death, saying that he would be buried here after his death."

"This is our first literary star in Jiachuan. Today I will bring you here to pay homage. I hope he can bless us to have a good experience this year and get admitted to the school of our dreams."

“Backed by mountains and facing water, this place has a suitable climate, no droughts or disasters, and is rich in specialty products. It quickly developed into a land of plenty.”

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous general in the Jin State named Xian Zhen. We did a reading test on an excerpt of "The Battle of Chengpu", and he was included in it."

The streets were quiet and quiet, and the townspeople on both sides of the stone road lived a quiet and leisurely life. On the contrary, the unfamiliar faces of Zhou Zhi and his group of students aroused everyone's curiosity.

"So everyone should know that in ancient times, a place that was famous for its vinegar, wine, soy sauce, and sugar would never be that poor no matter how poor it was."

"That's right, when we first launched the market, we were famous for vinegar and soy sauce. Everyone said that they had to buy them every time they passed by here." At this point, Lao Xian frowned: "But this year, I'm a little annoyed. I can only buy them in the market.

To Jiachuan soy sauce.”

"Hahaha, hello, sir! Our senior year of high school is about to start. This time we are bringing our classmates to pay homage to your ancestor, hoping that he will protect our Jiachuan heritage."

"After having this status, Xian Wang served as a palace companion and accompanied the prince, who later became Tang Dezong, to study for fourteen years. He gained a thorough knowledge of classics and history. At the age of twenty-one, he was awarded the title of Jinshi and became a historical record of our Manzhou.

The first Jinshi since."

"I'm afraid I can't even sit at home." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "It's spacious here, let's chat here, we have to go to Anle Mountain later. You can tell everyone the origin of this first market."

In the middle of the square is an ancient banyan tree, and at the other end is an ancient tomb shaped like a steamed bun.

None of the friends were aware of the seriousness. They didn't dare to show any arrogance in front of this outstanding man from Jiachuan of the Tang Dynasty, and followed Zhou Zhi in a polite manner.

Zhou Zhi's heart couldn't help but twitch: "Why is this?"

Zhou Zhi added: "Looking at the bluestone road here, you can know how prosperous Xianshi was back then, and Rongshan and Ma Street were as good as each other. What is the best specialty of Xianshi - soy sauce? What is needed to produce soy sauce?

Surplus salt and grain.”

There are two streets in Xianshi Town, one is the "upper street" that passes through the Poshang Ancient Town, and the other is the "lower street" that connects the riverside pier and the soy sauce garden.

"Because it developed from this cemetery, as you can see, the ancestor's tomb is located in the center of the town."

As a result, this action alarmed the onlookers around the square. After a while, an old man came over hurriedly: "Excuse me, are you... eh? Are you... the elbow who accompanied Director Wu to our place?"

At the interface of the two streets, there is a small cemetery. The cemetery is almost 100 square meters. It is a small square with bluestone slabs and is surrounded by three low walls.

"Are you all wondering why there is an ancient tomb in the middle of the town?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"This Xian Wang is said to be the fiftieth grandson of Xian Zhen. He was enlightened at the age of three and recited ten thousand words every day at the age of seven. He was promoted to the court, was tested by imperial edicts, and was awarded the title of child prodigy."

Everyone is nodding.

In front of the tomb stands a stone tablet with strong calligraphy, which reads "The tomb of Xian Wang, the prodigy of the Tang Dynasty who was awarded the title of Fu County Magistrate".

"It's difficult to operate!" said the old man: "Soy sauce factories all use old techniques, and the soy sauce must be aged for at least three years. In recent years, food prices have been rising continuously, but the price of soy sauce has been squeezed by large soy sauce manufacturers from other places.

It can’t go up, the old sauce from three years ago has been used up, and the new sauce tanks in the past few years have been opened less and less, and it seems that it will no longer work.”

"A few days ago, there was a mobilization meeting in the township. It was said that the county encouraged private parties to take over the soy sauce factory, as long as the workers' wages were paid, and other various benefits were given, but we were made to hear the excitement. Just those broken houses, steamers and sauce vats.

Is it worth 200,000? The township chief is just quoting the price randomly with the intention of deceiving the outsiders!"

Is 200,000 yuan a big number? For Zhou Zhi, who can normally earn 150,000 yuan a month in China, it is really not. But for township collective enterprises, they usually start with 5,000 or 6,000 yuan, and 200,000 yuan, that is

The numbers are astronomical.

Zhou Zhi thought about it. Xianshi soy sauce and balsamic vinegar is an old brand well-known throughout the county. It was first founded in the Guangxu period under the name "Jianghanyuan". Later, in the Republic of China, it merged with two other companies in the town to form "Tongrenhe".

There is still a Sanguan Temple in the factory to worship the Tianguan, Diguan and Shuiguan who have blessed the prosperity of the soy sauce handicraft industry, as well as more than 600 old sauce vats that have been passed down from the Guangxu period to the present. In Zhou Zhi's mind, these alone

Including the two remaining old signboards, the price is more than 200,000!
