Chapter Forty-Eight: Three Rivers Converge in One Place
After entering the door, I stayed upstairs for half an hour, and saw Ji Jiu and Sister Li walking in one after another from the wooden railing.
Ji Jiu's expression was very profound, and he couldn't see joy or anger, but the person behind him was beaming, and he stopped from time to time to pick up the newly worn bracelet on his wrist.
After all, it was sent out!
I sighed to myself, and there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and the girl in the dart game said softly, "Let's eat." ”
The shopkeeper didn't mean to be perfunctory, and there was a table of dishes in the lobby on the ground floor, many of which I had never seen before.
However, I swept my eyes around the wooden table and said in surprise: "Why is tonight's menu so different from yesterday's, is it the new chef in the inn?" ”
"Xiaolin," the two belated people finally walked into the house, and Ji Jiu still had the same expression of "not happy with things, not sad for himself".
Sister Li walked up to me with cheerful steps and raised her hand so that I could see the effect of her wearing.
I saw it clearly, everyone saw it clearly!
She turned her wrist and said, "Listen to Brother Lin, it's still Xiao Linzi that you help you to consult, I like it very much." ”
"It's good if you like it, hehe, it's not in vain that my eldest brother has been picking for so long, he is dazzling in the shop, I can only volunteer to help him."
In the next second, Sister Li looked back at Ji Jiu, and the meaning in her eyes was something that everyone else could see.
Taking advantage of the moment when she turned her head, Ji Jiu finally broke the work, glanced at me fiercely, and moved her lips silently.
I couldn't help but laugh as a group of people sat up around the big table.
Continuing with the topic earlier, I have doubts about tonight's menu.
"When we came in, we met the innkeeper at the door," Sister Li answered my questions. "She said that there were a lot of new guests at the inn today."
I stared blankly at the door, neither a festival nor something special happening, why did there be so many guests in Yuzhou City at once?
I thought of the people I saw at the recruitment point at the city gate, and the message I received in the East Courtyard before I came, all together. I feel more and more unable to see through the current situation.
It stands to reason that the situation in Sealand is still obscure, and business travelers should avoid danger.
This thought floated through my mind, and in the blink of an eye, I threw it away.
"It's all full. So the cook still asked another inn to borrow it temporarily. ”
Sister Li picked up the rice wine on the table and poured a small glass, the people in the dart game were on the road, almost everyone had a hobby of drinking a few sips during the meal, and after autumn, the weather in Sealand was wet and cold. It's kind of a way to deal with it.
"Presumably, the one who made this table of dishes was not yesterday's cook."
The people sitting around the table moved their chopsticks and commented on them after tasting them.
"It seems to taste better than yesterday's cook."
"Yes, that's right."
"No wonder," I said abruptly after hearing this, stretching out my chopsticks to taste a dish, and glimpsed that the bowl in front of Ji Jiu was already piled up.
Naturally, it is all the credit of Sister Li, her trend of piling vegetables. I'm afraid that Ji Jiu will starve to death!
Hey, it's a pity that he hates this the most, and I don't think he has the slightest idea of moving that pile of vegetables. It's illegal again!
"Xiao Linzi," Sister Li didn't forget to take care of me, "Try this dish, the last time we came back to Yuzhou was more than half a year ago, and the first time we tasted this dish." ”
"This is a kind of fungus from Yubei Ranch, freshly picked. The taste is so beautiful that the fresh eyebrows are about to fall off. ”
I smiled. stroked his eyebrows and glanced at Ji Jiu. He ignored the accumulation in his bowl, and subconsciously stretched out his chopsticks to the large plate and took a small bite.
After chewing, a trace of surprise flashed on Ji Jiu's face, and he couldn't help but agree: "Sure enough." ”
The girl from the dart board also smiled: "This dish is unique to Yuzhou, because it must not be picked for more than a day to be served, so it cannot be tasted elsewhere." ”
Scarcity is precious, and it is fate to be able to meet such a delicious meal during a trip!
There are many dishes on the table, but this one is the only one that takes the lead, and it will be swept away in a moment!
I didn't take the initiative to mention it, because the topic they just talked about Yubei, I think it's a good starting point.
I ate two mouthfuls of food, pushed the boat down the river and said: "Now that I am in Yuzhou City, what you are talking about is Yubei, is it in the north of the city?" ”
As soon as the words came out, half of the table laughed.
The girl from the dart bureau put down her chopsticks and said, "Prince Xiaolin, it's the first time you've come here, and you don't know much about the terrain here. "Yubei is indeed in the north of the city, but it does not only refer to the north of the city, and the place cannot be compared with the size of Yuzhou City."
My heart moved, and I listened intently to what she had to say. "It's all grassland, so that's why we have so much game on the table."
I exchanged glances with Ji Jiu, and this time it was him who asked, "Since there is such a large grassland in the north of Yuzhou, it is a good place to raise cattle and sheep. “
The days of getting along with each other in the East Courtyard have formed a kind of tacit understanding, and at this time, it is smooth, and it really feels like a brother. "Brother Lin," Sister Li sat beside him, raised her hand and lightly bumped his arm and said seriously, "Brother Lin, it's not a cattle and sheep, Yubei is a place to raise horses." "To put it bigger, the north of Yuzhou is the confluence of the three rivers." Sister Li gestured.
"There is not only a prairie in the north of Yuzhou, but also the largest granary in the south of Zealand." "It's a great place indeed." I exclaimed, "Treasure of Nature." "Isn't it?!" "A good war horse from the north of Yu, only in the north of the whole Sealand can compete with this area." "But that place is" Sister Li's words suddenly stopped, not only her, but the whole table was silent, because there was a person at the door, it was the innkeeper who still had charm.
She rarely comes to disturb us while we're eating.
Sister Li put down her chopsticks and greeted her, and the two of them whispered a few words under the porch at the door, and I couldn't help frowning when I heard the words "in-house guest" and "don't move around".
The shopkeeper left, and Sister Li came back.
She sat down again, and the topic of our conversation here had already been turned to the delicious and fun of Sealand by a few girls from the dart game.
Even if she didn't finish speaking, Ji Jiu and I actually understood, isn't that place in the north the territory that was given to that princess?!
The empress wants to collect war horses, of course, she can only come here.
I don't know if Ji Jiu had tactfully mentioned to her that we wanted to go out of the city to Yubei tomorrow before entering the door, and now I don't have the opportunity to ask Ji Jiu in person!
So I thought about it, and I ate my meal with peace of mind, and asked him again in the evening.
During the banquet, Sister Li talked to Ji Jiu from time to time, although he was often expressionless, the tone of his answer was much better than a few days ago.
This kid is actually a clear door.,Even if I don't remind him, he understands the relationship stakes better than me.,At the beginning, I couldn't let go of my body.,Now it's better to get along for a long time.,Throughout the meal.,The atmosphere is also warm.。
Ji Jiu went upstairs to rest first.
Sister Li waited until the end, and after I finished discussing the topic I was most interested in, I lost my interest in continuing to participate, and I just blindly buried my head in eating.
When I got up to leave, she moved faster than me, walked up to me, grabbed my arm and said, "Xiao Linzi, I have something to trouble you." “
Compared to the day I first met, she has changed too much now, her tone is becoming more and more elegant, and I am really not used to her rough voice. "Sister Li, you say." I stopped and looked at her. "Tomorrow, your eldest brother and I want to go to Yubei for a walk, but he doesn't want to be alone, can you go with us?"
I was stunned, why things were a little different from what I thought, God knows how Ji Jiu's fox could lure her up!
Dare to love her to go, we will accompany it.
I immediately agreed to come down and went upstairs to ask Ji Jiu about it
At noon, a crowd of people poured out at the gates.
Most of them were young men and women who came to sign up for the draft, and only the most attentive people would notice that some of them, regardless of their expression or body shape, plus the flexibility of their movements, or the way they walked, could actually faintly recognize the traces that were different from the others.
If the practitioner is watching, of course, it is easy to perceive that the other party has also "practiced".
The conscription in Yuzhou is similar to the rest of Sealand, some people are full of ambition and want to find new opportunities in their lives through the army, and some people are just forced to be helpless, and there is no one to replace them, and the only option is to obey, and there are many people who try to avoid the tasks that are pressed on their heads in various ways, and the water is infiltrated by means of money and power transactions.
All sorts of people led the way, and in the end there were always people in the army who were not the ones who had been assigned.
But Yuzhou is more difficult than elsewhere.
Far exceeded.
Because of the relationship between the terrain and local specialties, a large part of the soldiers recruited in Yuzhou need to learn to get along with war horses.
The number of people who came was not small, but the division of labor was clear, some of them were left behind, others seemed to be watching the excitement and not their own business, but in an instant, they walked through different paths and gathered in another place.
A small alley in Yuzhou City, an inn covered by a high wall, the first wave of excitement has just arrived
Outside the city gate, before dusk, a caravan suddenly appeared on the plain avenue, and the carriage pulled several wagons of goods, and they came in a hurry.
Looking at the appearance, it looks like a merchant from a nearby town.
The inventory at the city gate took some time, but fortunately it turned out to be over.
The route taken by this team is also very familiar.
The inn in the small alley of Yuzhou, which is known as the best inn in the city, is not surprisingly overcrowded!
Staying in an inn with so many people, it was orderly in the evening, and there was no noise.
The cook, who had invited temporary helpers from elsewhere, finished the dinner of all the innkeepers
It is necessary to wait until nightfall, and a scene will gradually start (to be continued)
