Chapter 83: Qing Ping (2)

The fort guard team members rushed over first. When the carriage approached, Shi Wen saw an old man and came up.

Shi Wen quickly jumped out of the carriage and bowed: "Shi Wen has seen an elder."

"You are kind to the shopkeeper Shi. The little old man's surname is Tie. He is the master of this Tiejiabao. If the shopkeeper Shi can come to Tiejiabao, the little old man is welcomed."

"So it's Tielizheng." Shi Wen immediately felt solemn. Although Li Zheng was not an official, he had great power, especially Li Zheng like Tiejiabao, who was also a powerful man. If he met him in the city, Shi Wen would not care, but this was Tiejiabao, and Shi Wen dared not neglect it.

In the county town, Quan Gang personally received the reception. When he came to Tiejiabao, he was receiving it again. This made Shopkeeper Shi feel very comfortable. Although he had a lot of family resources, in this era of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, such courtesy did make Shi Wen feel highly valued.

"Come on, Shopkeeper Shi, the main thing is important. I'll take you to see the grapes now."

"It's right in trouble."

"No trouble, no trouble. If the shopkeeper Shi can come, the old man is so happy."

Leaded by the iron horse, Shi Wen passed through the road construction, and was curious, joyful, or exploratory gaze. Shi Wen smiled and nodded in response. Shi Wen could feel that these people from Tiejiabao were very different from those from Mingfeng County. As for what was different, Shi Wen thought about it carefully and finally thought of a word: angry.

This anger does not mean being angry, but being full of vitality. In Mingfeng County, ordinary people are in trouble and are worried when walking, and are worried about their next livelihood. However, Shi Wen cannot see this on the faces of these Tiejiabao people.

"These people from Tiejiabao must have a good life, and they all have red faces." Shi Wen said inwardly.

However, after he stepped onto the cement road, he no longer had the intention to care about the life problems of the people of Tiejiabao. His attention was attracted by the cement road.

"This road is really great." Shi Wen couldn't help but stomp hard. The sense of stability under his feet made him know that this road is really great. Such a wide and flat road, not to mention Feng County, even in Fancheng, Nanhai County.

Tiema saw Shi Wen's actions and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Shi also thinks this road is good?"

Shi Wen nodded: "Yes, this road is extremely wonderful. Are they all paved with a magical object called cement?"

"That's right." Tiema said proudly: "This road is paved with cement, which is a divine object brought by the Dragon King from heaven. There are not many cement roads now, but the Dragon King said that the cement road will be paved to Qingping County in the future."

"Do you have to put it in the county? How long will it take?" Shi Wen was a little shocked.

"It won't take long. Just last year, we had paved hundreds of miles of cement road. Although this cement road is a little wider, it will definitely be paved to the county town by the end of this year. When this road is paved, it will be much more convenient to travel between Tiejiabao and the county town."

Shi Wen nodded. As a merchant who often transports goods, especially wine, he deeply understood how rare a good road is. Nowadays, wine is filled with jars or wooden barrels. He encountered many times when the carriage overturned and all the wine was spilled in the ground due to the poor road. If it was all such a good road, would it be necessary to worry?

Shi Wen is looking forward to it now, hoping that this road can be built to the county town early, and preferably to the other side of the dam bridge.

After a while, without the iron horse's guidance, Shi Wen saw a large grape shelf in front of him.

"Wow, too many, there are so many grapes in this Tiejia Castle?" Shi Wen was shocked.

In Shi Wen's eyes, almost all of them were green, and it felt like they were boundless. He could see some roofs in a very far and far place, but even if there was green on these roofs, it was obviously grapes.

The grapes grown in the county were already shocked him, and the Tiejiabao shocked him even more.

As we arrived near, Shi Wen discovered that there was not only this one cement road, but also some small paths. These small cement roads were based on this avenue and extended to both sides. Similarly, not only were grapes planted on both sides of the avenue, but grapes also had on both sides of the avenue.

In addition, Shi Wen also saw that although the grapes on the shelf had already bear fruit, the fruit was still very small, but Shi Wen was not worried at all.

Tiema explained: "The grapes on these roads were planted later, and they were first planted in the village, and those grapes were already red."

Passing through this concrete road full of grapes, looking at the green grape trellis on both sides, the wind blew, and the leaves were whispering softly. A slightly sweet smell was faintly smelled at the tip of his nose. Shi Wen felt refreshed and happy, and the fatigue of rushing for a long time had already been wiped out.

"It's really the place of gods." Shi Wen couldn't help but exclaim. Even if he couldn't buy wine this time, Shi Wen felt that this trip was worth it. How could he see such a beautiful scenery in normal times? If he was a scholar full of poetry and books, he might even recite a few words such as: The Ten Mile Avenue is full of fragrance, and a bunch of grapes is given to Shi Wen...

The closer you are to Tiejiabao, Shi Wen found that the longer the grapes are, the better. Some plump grape skins have a slight red color, and the fragrance here is even more intense. This is the pure grape fragrance, which makes people smell it.

Under the leadership of Tiema, Shi Wen stepped into Tiejiabao.

Tiejiabao is like Shi Wen saw outside. Many roofs are covered with vines, and the grape seeds are similar to those outside. However, there are not many people in the village and it seems to be a little quiet.

A group of children ran past nearby and saw the iron horse. They all bowed and called the Fourth Grandpa.

"What are you doing?"

"Fourth Grandpa, the Dragon King said that there are birds who want to eat grapes, so let us drive away those birds."

"Oh, so behaved, then go, be careful, don't run away so hard that you sweat."

After the children left, Shi Wen asked carefully: "Tielizheng, is the Dragon King here too?"

"Well, does Shopkeeper Shi want to ask to see the Dragon King?"

Shi Wen coughed slightly: "That... the Dragon King's Divine Power, the little Fu Bo, it's better to disappear..."

"Oh, let's talk about grapes."

Shi Wen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I only talk about grapes."

Tiema took Shi Wen around Tiejiabao. Although Shi Wen felt a little worried, afraid of meeting the so-called Dragon King, I don’t know if he was lucky or not. He did not see the Dragon King along the way.

After walking around, Shi Wen had eaten three bunches of grapes, and even his stomach became a little swollen.

These grapes are big and sweet, full of flesh and not a single seed, and are definitely the best fruit Shi Wen has ever eaten in his life.

After returning from a circle, Tiema lit a dry tobacco and sniffed twice: "Shopkeeper Shi, what do you think of these grapes?"
