Chapter 197: On the way
Pei Yao walked with Chen Jiacheng and said to the two people in front of him, meaning: You see that they have a play!
Affectionately clicked on the upturned little Qiong's nose, and Chen Jiacheng took her little hand...
Hehe, let's just have a show, the others are none of his business!
This small county seat and Li County are the same county, and there is nothing strange and fun, the four of them decided to hurry quickly, and they will be able to reach a big city Cloud City the night after tomorrow.
Listening to Zhaoting's introduction, when I got to Yuncheng, it was a relatively plain place, with fewer trees, unlike Linshan County, where there were mountains everywhere.
At this time of year, in addition to the fields, Yuncheng is full of blooming wildflowers, which is definitely a good place to go green!
In addition to occasionally finding a cool place to get off the horse and rest, let the horses eat grass and stream water freely, and sometimes go down on foot to walk around when they see a place with a good view, and buy all kinds of delicious snacks in various towns, as well as some strange things, such as wooden nesting dolls, all of which are small animals, three and two layers, and beautiful flower and stone pressure skirt pendants.
Pei Yao's biggest goal is to find all kinds of vegetables, no new varieties have been found, after all, the distance is not very far, the varieties are still similar, but I still found two different flavors of beans and cucumbers.
It's like growing prickly cucumbers at home, and the two she found are the best fire cucumbers to eat raw, and the other is a small cucumber with a good taste and a high yield although it is short.
There are also two kinds of beans, which are very popular in the local area, and the farmers who buy the seeds praise the taste very well.
I bought a pack of each, plus those small gifts, and delicious dried meat, all of which were sent home on the spot through the post station.
This makes it easy to continue on the road without bogging down the horse.
But gradually, I don't know when Zhao Ting didn't ride a horse in front of him, but side by side with Yan Xiaota, and of course Cheng Jiacheng and Pei Yao walked side by side in the back.
Just when I was about to arrive in Cloud City, the gloomy sky was not beautiful, and it seemed that it was going to rain at any time.
Looking at this day, it doesn't look like a light rain, if you are stuck in the road, you can only get wet, not to mention the two young ladies in front of you, and you didn't even bring a rain gear or something.
Hurry up, before they arrived at the gate of the city, there were raindrops falling, and the little by little fell on the body, Zhaoting took care of Yan Xiaota, and Chen Jiacheng took care of Pei Yao, for fear that the two girls would miss a little.
Chen Jiacheng felt a light raindrop, so he approached the horses side by side, held Pei Yao's reins and shouted, "Pei Yao, quickly put on your hat first, don't wet your hair." ”
Pei Yao heard the sound, let go tentatively, and saw that the horses were moving forward very steadily, so she relieved herself to release the reins, put on her hat and fastened it tightly on her chin, because the style at this time was extraordinarily large, and she flew without fastening it.
The two people in front of them heard the movement of their heads, and Xiao Ta also tried to put on a hat with one hand, which was not easy to use at all, and Zhao Ting also stepped forward to help when he saw this: "I'll take it." ”
The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and finally they rushed into the gate of Yuncheng, found the first inn and dismounted and rushed in.
At this moment, a dazzling lightning and thunder sounded outside, and the heavy rain was pouring down at the door behind them!
The rain curtain outside the eaves of the door fell to the ground like a string of beads, splashing the muddy water on the ground, as well as the stagnant water and blisters that slowly increased, and the wind did not stop, and the air became hot and cool, and the air felt like there was a trace of water vapor.
"Whew"! Several people breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately one step earlier, otherwise it would have been terrible to be blocked at the door by the heavy rain, and they would have been soaked in an instant.
Chen Jiacheng was the last few people to follow up in the store, still holding the wet Duoduo in his hand, and the other hand grasping the blanket on the horse's back, his shoulders and hair were slightly wet, which was really the most embarrassing.
The innkeeper looked at the dog with a group of four people and was a little embarrassed, Zhao Ting waved his hand and said, "Let's charter a small courtyard." ”
The guy immediately laughed, chartering a small courtyard is more profitable than staying in a Tianzi room, generally officials or wealthy businessmen will only charter a small courtyard with their daughters, and there are still very few people who usually move in.
This is enough money, you can bring anything!
Booked a four-room courtyard, one for one person, walked into the small courtyard from the courtyard by the wall, and was even more satisfied when he saw a small stove room, Xiao Ta took Pei Yao's hand and said coquettishly: "Pei Yao, I want to eat steamed buns." ”
Zhao Ting followed behind with sparkling eyes, he had never eaten the buns made by Pei Yao, but he had eaten the bamboo tube rice that he still remembered to this day, and he was so interested in seeing Xiaota, who also loves food, then it must be delicious.
The guy who followed behind said: "There are buns and side dishes, are the guests going to have dinner now?" ”
The reason for this question is that although the weather is dark enough on a rainy day, it is actually only the time to declare, and the time is still early.
Zhaoting pointed to the small stove room and asked the guy: "Can this stove room be used?" ”
"Yes, if a few guest officers use the stove room to cook their own food, if you don't have any materials, you can tell me, I'll prepare."
Pei Yao saw that these two gluttonous guys really wanted to eat, so she asked so enthusiastically, so she said in a dark belly: "It's okay to eat if you want, you two will give me a hand." ”
After several times of Zhaoting's help, Yan Xiaota is no longer so repulsive to this hooligan, and there is often an ambiguous atmosphere between the two, but no one picks on the window paper.
Pei Yao decided to create a chance for the two of them if they were fine.
"Trouble brother, you can help us prepare a pot of white noodles, a piece of pork belly, and a basket of cabbage. Again, please prepare a large basin of bath water. ”
"Okay, I'll get ready!" As soon as the man heard that he wanted a basin of bath water, he glanced at the dirty golden retriever dog.
Chen Jiacheng stayed in the room to bathe Duoduo, and Pei Yao took Zhaoting and Xiaota to the stove room.
"Xiaota, you washed the basket of cabbage, Zhao Gongzi, you chopped this meat filling, and I made noodles." As soon as she entered the stove room, Pei Yao unceremoniously began to command.
Pei Yao's hands and feet were quick, she washed the basin and put a pot of flour, mixed a little cold water with the drinkable hot water sent by the guy, so that the temperature was slightly hot, and then kneaded the noodles with this warm water, and kneaded the noodles that she specially asked the guy for.
Put the large basin into an iron pot with some water, cover the pot, and burn a handful of grass underneath to heat the temperature in the pot to make the noodles rise quickly.
Then I watched two clumsy people make jokes.
Where has Zhaoting entered the stove room, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all arranged, he is literate and martial arts but he can't cook, but he still knows that he has to wash the meat to chop, a large piece of pork belly is placed on the board, he raises the knife and chops, it is worthy of learning martial arts, the knife light Huo Huo lightning thunder
"Cough, Zhao Gongzi, the skin of the meat is removed and then chopped, and it is easy to chop into minced meat by cutting it into slices."
Zhao Ting blushed slightly.
"I said it's so hard to get, so thick and so hard to chop."
Yan Xiaota was washing vegetables on the side, and when he saw that Zhao Ting was embarrassed, he laughed at him "haha": "How can Zhao Dagongzi chop meat, you are normal." ”
Before the words fell, I heard Pei Yao say coldly on the side: "Can you wash the cabbage little by little, the cabbage has not been washed, and you can wash it with a basket poured into the basin." (To be continued.) )
