The pavilions near the river in Donggang Town are the most suitable for living in summer and autumn.
Especially in summer, the river breeze is cool, just open the front and rear windows, the heat will disappear by half, just a few steps across the bank, you will feel a lot hotter than this riverside.
In winter, this riverside pavilion is damp, but it is very cold, and it is easier to get rheumatism and cold legs than other places.
But Zhu Siye's fancy to this small building is really ingenious, the front of the window of the river, are made of several colors of gravel piled up with a few good-looking stoves, a few inverted lotus leaf-like bronze covers above, connected with a few bronze chimneys embedded in the wooden wall, walking between the walls, the surface is all engraved poems, like a piece of bronze inscription embedded in a wall.
This bronze chimney is embedded with unstained iron wood on both sides, and in winter these stoves can not only be used to boil tea and warm wine, melt ink, and smoke walk along these chimneys, that is the best fireplace, when the river is snowing, but the inside is definitely still warm as spring.
Songzhu Pavilion is the innermost wing room on the west side of the second floor of this small building, the windows facing the three directions can be opened, the wind is clear and the day is beautiful, the windows on these three sides are opened, and the scenery of a river is poured into the whole wing.
There is an elaborate staircase leading up to the attic above.
In addition to its low height, the attic is very spacious enough to store a lot of things, and there is a small terrace outside a window that can be opened.
When the sun was rising, Lin Xi opened his eyes on the bed in this side room.
After taking water from the stone jar in the room and washing up, he checked a stove in the window near the river.
There was a large clay pot boiling on the stove with a reddish charcoal fire.
Lin Xi opened the jar, and a strong aroma suddenly permeated the room.
A few large black-brown cucumbers churned in the bubbling sticky soup, and there were faint chunks of meat and some rhizomes underneath.
This jar of things, including the soup, is estimated to weigh at least a dozen catties.
"It's like a pot of Buddha jumping over the wall."
Looking at this jar of things, Lin Xi muttered to himself with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, picked up a pair of chopsticks that had been placed next to him a long time ago, sandwiched a fat stinging cucumber and tried to eat it.
After feeling that an unusually delicious and fat feeling immediately melted from his mouth, Lin Xi's face was even more smug, and after eating all the remaining stinging cucumbers, he walked up to the attic and began to pose one after another.
After doing this for half an hour, the sky was already bright, and his whole body was soaked with sweat, Lin Xi stopped, went down to the attic, and began to eat the contents of the big crockpot one bowl after another.
If ordinary people see it, they will definitely be dumbfounded.
Because there were more than a dozen catties of things in the big clay pot, Lin Xi ate all of them and there was nothing left.
Lin Xi was sweating all over his body again, his body was steaming, and after rinsing it with warm water, Lin Xi patted his slightly bulging belly, burped, opened the big wooden box in the attic, and took out some kits given to him by Xu Shengmo that were specially used to sharpen and control his body balance, such as a large amount of thick armor with irregular flowing mercury, and various weights.
After brushing the big clay pot and putting on the green silk shirt, Lin Xi pushed open the door and walked out of the pine and bamboo pavilion.
The old man surnamed Mo, whose hair was already snow-white, had already sprinkled and swept the platform in front of this small building, and when he saw Lin Xi coming down, he bowed to Lin Xi, bowed to the elders, and said, "I have donated the three thousand silver taels for the town school." ” Lin Xi replied: "In the future, those scholars who come out of here will definitely remember the kindness of the old man." ” "I'm already old, and I didn't study well when I was young, I didn't even get a little fame, I didn't achieve anything, I only did business, and I didn't even do business in old age, I all depend on my lords, and even if I leave some false names in the future, it is also thanks to my lords."
The old man shook his head, as if he was too ashamed to talk about anything, and only sprinkled and swept away.
Although he didn't talk much yesterday, Lin Xi saw the pedantry and stubbornness of the real scholars in this world from this old man, and this old man also saw from Lin Xi's eyes the indifference and the spirit that he felt was enough to live in Songzhu Building.
So today, when he heard the words of the old man and saw his words and deeds at this time, Lin Xi was not surprised, and after smiling slightly, he said goodbye and left the building.
Outside Langfang at the entrance of the small building, Wang Buping had already gotten up early to make umbrellas.
After waving his hand and letting Wang Buping continue to be busy, Lin Xi saw that the bamboo umbrella in Wang Buping's hand had completed the skeleton and began to paste the umbrella.
Because the oil-paper umbrella in this world was also a novelty for Lin Xi who was in Lulin Town at that time, and although there was no umbrella making in Donggang Town and the two towns on the side, there was a "Ruoshuitang" in Lulin Town, where Lin Xi was located before, was somewhat famous, and Lin Xi was also curious to see two afternoons and know some of the processes.
So just by looking at it at the moment, Lin Xi was a little curious, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Wang, your umbrella seems to be a little different from other people's, don't you need to shave this umbrella?"
"I didn't expect Lord Lin to have some research on umbrella making."
Wang Buping glanced at Lin Xi with some surprise, but smiled again: "This umbrella is said to be for you, of course it is a little different from other people's." ” "The general bamboo needs to scrape off that layer of green scorn to be processed, but this is the unique green jade bamboo of Qingqi Mountain, very peculiar, after soaking in water, the bamboo will be relatively tender, easy to cut, easy to do hands and feet, but after exposure to the sun and dehydration, I soaked it in tung oil for a few days to lock, but it is no longer possible to have water in, the bamboo will be extremely tough, and the general sharp blade is difficult to cut, in the past, the army even made green jade armor with this bamboo, but because this bamboo grew extremely slowly, it was completely extinct later, so it can only be stopped.
I have a small collection at home.
Wang Buping looked at the curious Lin Xi, nodded the umbrella bone, and said, "You see, this bamboo is cyan from the inside to the outside, unlike ordinary bamboo, the inside is white."
When the weather is fine in the past few days, and I am thoroughly exposed to the sun, the bamboo will look as good as green jade. ” Lin Xi looked at it, and sure enough, the skin and inside of the bamboo were the same cyan, and he was suddenly a little envious, and said, "This umbrella is too precious."
Wang Buping glanced at Lin Xi and said, "My lord, your heart is the most valuable umbrella in Donggang Town." ” "Then thank you, Brother Wang."
Lin Xi looked at the umbrella bone in Wang Buping's hand curiously, and suddenly thought of something, his brows jumped slightly, and asked: "Brother Wang, I see that your umbrella handle is long enough, I don't know if it can be processed into a medium pass, so I simply use it as a scabbard and put a long sword in it."
Wang Buping was slightly stunned, understood Lin Xi's intentions, nodded, and said, "This is naturally possible." ” "Thank you very much."
Lin Xi smiled happily, didn't say more, arched his hand at Wang Buping, said goodbye and left, and walked towards the west river.
On the eve of leaving Qingluan Academy, Xu Shengmo directly used the lesson of blood to make him remember that he should be careful when he should be careful, of course, the soul soldier long sword with a handle on weekdays is a bit swaggering, if it can be hidden in the umbrella in this rainy season in Donggang Town, it is naturally convenient and safe, and it will also allow the opponent who may appear to see some of his details directly from the blade before making a move.
The sky was already bright, and there were already many pedestrians in the alleys of Donggang Town.
Lin Xi's first destination today was the fish market, one of the three cities located on the riverbank to the west of the town.
Most of the main dishes on weekdays in the nearby towns of Donggang are fish, and Lin Xi didn't want to go to the fish market at this moment to meet Xu Fatzi, who is in charge of the fish market.
As far as he is concerned, no matter how arrogant these people are, as long as they don't commit crimes, they have nothing to do with him.
He went to this fish market to practice.

For the vast majority of cultivators, the most important thing is naturally cultivation, not to mention that Lin Xi knows that even Dean Zhang is always full of vigilance and full of respect for many powerhouses in this world.
Lin Xi always puts cultivation first.
During the long journey from leaving the Four Seasons Plain to this Donggang Town, Lin Xi practiced the "King Ming Breaking Prison" passed to him by Luo Houyuan during the day, and meditated and cultivated at night, without stopping for a day.
After settling down in this Donggang Town, Lin Xi had already made a plan, cultivating the Qingluan Twenty-Four Styles and those moves passed on to him by Luo Houyuan in the early morning, finding a no-man's land to practice archery skills in the evening, and then using Xu Shengmo's delicate bronze box to practice sword skills at night, as well as meditating to cultivate soul power and improve cultivation.
And if he had leisure during the day, he would prepare for the new course "Forging the Body" arranged by the Academy in the morning, and "King Ming's Prison Breaking" in the afternoon.
He has now reached the beginner level soul master cultivation, and most of the Qingluan first-year students have only passed one or two assessments this time, and there are not many beginner soul master cultivators.
Even in previous years, this was equivalent to the level of an ordinary student in Qingluan's second year, and on the outside, he was already considered a cultivator who was not weak.
The biggest difference between a beginner soul master and a soul master is that the soul power is already strong enough to penetrate the surface of the body.
The strength and endurance of the cultivators are very amazing, and that is because the soul power has changed the overall nature.
This "forging the body" is the same as "King Ming's Prison Breaking", both of which are cultivation methods that use and guide soul power to improve physical functions as much as possible.
King Ming's prison breaking is to use soul power to travel and stay in the body according to a specific route, just like using soul power to massage and wash the meridians and organs in the body.
And this "body forging" that was originally a compulsory practice for Qingluan's second-year freshmen used a unique breathing method to gather soul power and gather it into a "hammer", knocking it through the flesh and blood of the body little by little.
This "forging body" should make it stronger and more powerful.
When cultivating according to this method of "forging the body", every time the soul power is gathered, a hard bag the size of a pigeon's egg will bulge on the skin of the inner body of the clothes, and then disappear with the retraction of the soul power, and that place will give Lin Xi a slightly tighter feeling.
What is the benefit of King Ming's prison breaking, Lin Xi, who has cultivated all the way, does not have a particularly clear feeling, but an obvious change is that Lin Xi feels that he is becoming more and more able to eat.
Practitioners are very good at eating.
This is not difficult to understand for Lin Xi, who is from another world like Dean Zhang.
If ordinary people are small motorcycles, then the cultivators are all high-horsepower broken cars, and the oil to be burned naturally does not know how much, and the improvement of physical fitness itself must be supplemented with a large amount of nutrients, not counting consumption, and the muscles and bones and muscle tissue of the cultivators themselves must also be very different from ordinary people.
Previously, Lin Xi's three meals added up to more than 20 catties, and if there was a lot of solid meat in it, at least he would not be hungry.
But now Lin Xi can eat about twenty catties of food in one meal.
Just like when he let go of his stomach to eat in the morning, Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh how his stomach could fit so many things, if he returned to the previous world, it would definitely be extremely easy to get a burger champion.
Previously, in Qingluan Academy, these things did not need to be considered by students at all, and the college would prepare them every day.
But now it's different when you start practicing outside, you have to rely on yourself.
In fact, this is something that any academy student will have to face sooner or later, because cultivators also have to eat, and the vast majority of cultivators will not stay in the academy all the time, let the academy keep them, and always have to solve the daily food by themselves after they come out.
For practitioners, of course, it is not difficult to eat enough, but what is more important is to have as many benefits as possible for one's cultivation.
Therefore, Lin Xi also has a course in his hand that is "food supplement", which is to tell practitioners which things are most nutritious to eat and how to eat them, which is the most conducive to cultivation.
According to the doctrinal summary of this course, those elixirs are just extracted from the most nutritious dietary supplements for practitioners.
This weekday meal is equivalent to the accumulation of daily drips.
Of course, he could only make do with the journey to Donggang Town all the way, but he also kept an eye on it along the way, and just happened to see good things, so he bought them.
This morning's pot of "Buddha jumping over the wall" was something he had collected on his journey through half of the Yunqin Empire.
Among them, the "Eastern Miao Ginseng" is much more precious than any sea cucumber in the world before Lin Xi, because the Yunqin Empire is not near the sea on all sides, and this "Eastern Miao Ginseng" came from the coast of the Damang Dynasty through a caravan, which is very rare in Yunqin.
Just from eating, you can know that a practitioner himself has to accumulate a lot of money.
The purchasing power of one or two silver in Yunqin, when Lin Xi was in Lulin Town, had a clear concept, and he could buy eighty catties of pork at the usual price.
At that time, Lin Xi felt that one tael of silver could buy so much, and this tael of silver was really worth enough, but then he thought about it carefully, even if a pound of good pork was calculated according to the twenty yuan he was familiar with, the value of one tael of silver in this world was equivalent to 1,600 yuan.
Because of the slightly greater danger of arresting like him, the price of the average official is still high, but even so, it is equivalent to less than 40,000 yuan.
For cultivators, these twenty taels of silver are not enough to eat.
But Lin Xi is still a student of Qingluan Academy, and the students of the three major academies have a subsidy of thirty taels of silver every month before they officially graduate, which is to put it simply, they are all for the food expenses of these imperial pillar cultivators.
Therefore, just the amount of silver that the Yun Qin Empire invests in the ordinary diet and daily life of the cultivators every year is not a small amount, so the three major academies combined can only cultivate a maximum of three or four hundred students in a year, so over the years, in the strangulation of Tang Zang and the cultivators of Da Mang, Yun Qin has been slowly exhausted.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the sea to eat the sea, for the practitioner has two meanings.
One of the meanings is that when there is not enough money to support the practice, the practitioner has to try to hunt some food in the practice area that is a great supplement for the practitioner.
The other thing is the literal meaning of the word itself, to see what is good in this cultivation place, and to eat what is good.
The Xizi River in front of Donggang Town is a big river, and in the fish market where the vast majority of fishermen are gathered, there should also be some large aquatic products listed on the college list
