Chapter Seventy-Eight: Showa, the City of Gastronomy
After leaving Qiyang County, I walked for three days and arrived at the boundary of Daping County.
Dahei County still belongs to the territory of Anshaofu and is one of the three prefectures of Shinshu.
As long as you pass this Daping County, you can reach the boundary of Jingzhao Mansion, and Shangjing is the capital city of the entire Yurui Kingdom, referred to as the capital.
To get to the capital, you need to cross the boundaries of three counties.
That is the three county towns of Daping County, Showa County, and Wanyang County.
Among them, the area of Showa County and Wanyang County is more than twice that of Qiyang County, and the entire Jingzhao Mansion is also the original development place of the entire Yurui Kingdom, and the area has been so large since ancient times, even if there have been several changes of dynasties.
It takes at least half a month to go to the capital, which is still moving forward at a normal speed, and will not stay in some places, but if you stop and go, it is fast to arrive in the capital in a month.
Staying in the county seat of Daping County for one night, Shen Zhuru undoubtedly shared a room with Mu Fenghua.
"There will be a riot tomorrow, I want to take the opportunity to leave, see you in the capital."
Shen Zhuru looked at Mu Fenghua in surprise.
"The guy you're talking about?" Shen Zhuru couldn't help asking.
"Nope. There is something temporary that needs to be away for a while. Qibao will leave with me, and Yueyang will stay to protect you, so you don't have to worry about danger. ”
Shen Zhuru opened her mouth, but finally didn't ask any more questions.
The next day we set off from Daping County, and near noon, there was a commotion, and an unknown group of bandits suddenly attacked the team, causing a lot of chaos.
Almost all the female dependents were protected, and the riot was blocked out by the guards, and Mu Fenghua also took advantage of this time to sneak away with the Seven Treasures God unconsciously, and after the riot was calmed down, Mu Fenghua and the Seven Treasures undoubtedly cast a shadow on the faces of everyone in the team.
As a last resort, the convoy could only rest in the nearest town, and sent someone to notify the local government to find the traces of Mu Fenghua and Qibao.
"Why is it gone? It shouldn't be. Mu Jinyang frowned and walked around the hall, looking very irritable.
It's only been a few days since he left, and he actually lost a person as big as Mu Fenghua.
Although the situation at that time was a bit chaotic, and even some civilians rushed over, it should not have been so completely known that everyone had disappeared.
This is a great dereliction of duty.
Even if Mu Jinyang had any ideas, he would not be so impatient to get rid of Mu Fenghua at such a moment, because it was unwise.
Shen Zhuru, who had already been greeted by Mu Fenghua, was a lot calmer, but the anxious look on her face still had to learn to disguise.
"I knew I wouldn't let him get out of the car, so I lost people like this. Zhuru, don't worry, I will definitely help you find it. Princess Gesang didn't want to open her mouth to comfort her.
I regretted a little that I was angry at the fool Mu Fenghua in the carriage before.
If it weren't for that, it wouldn't be the situation it is in front of you.
Seeing that it was dark, the government personnel sent to transfer had also been looking for the traces of Mu Fenghua's master and servant in nearby places, and the news they could get was not optimistic at all.
In one night, except for a few, the vast majority of people did not sleep well.
Princess Gesang even got up for breakfast with a pair of panda eyes.
First, I asked the official who was looking for someone, but the result was unsatisfactory.
"Zhuru, I'm sorry, I still haven't found anyone."
Princess Gesang's haggard appearance made Shen Zhuru a little unbearable, although she wanted to tell her not to worry, but once she said it, she couldn't justify herself at all, and maybe she would be accused of being convicted, and the gains outweighed the losses.
"As long as the people are still there, they will be found sooner or later." Shen Zhuru comforted.
A hearty breakfast, but the three of them had no appetite because of Mu Fenghua's affairs.
"Princess, there is a child outside who sent a letter, saying that it is for Mrs. Mu Shao." A guard walked in with an unsigned letter.
"Bring it." Princess Gesang replied and sent the letter to Shen Zhuru's hands.
Shen Zhuru glanced at it a little and smiled.
Even if this guy has a bit of a conscience, he knows the mess here, and he has thought of a way to solve it.
"Princess, there's news of Fenghua."
"Really? You didn't lie to me? Princess Gesang's eyes lit up.
"It's clearly written in this letter, look at it."
"Is that okay?" Princess Gesang looked at the letter and didn't take it immediately, and when Shen Zhuru nodded affirmatively, she took it and read it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"It turned out that I met an acquaintance and followed the acquaintance. No wonder no one can be found. However, is this person called Qiu Shang reliable? You're not an ordinary person, will you be deceived? ”
"Young Master Qiu has always had a relationship with the Mu family. Not long ago, because of Qiu Gongzi, my mother-in-law sent my father-in-law to see him. Yes, there is no problem. Since the other party said that he would send people to the capital, he would definitely send them. I think we'd better keep going. Of course, I have to talk to my cousin about this, so that he will not worry. ”
"It's okay. Otherwise, I will definitely feel guilty for the rest of my life. Princess Gesang breathed a sigh of relief, and could see that what she said was true.
Mu Fenghua's matter came to an end, and the matter of the bandits that day was indeed handed over to the local government for thorough investigation, and it was determined to exterminate the group of thieves who were in chaos and ensure the safety of the people.
After a night's rest in the town, we set off again the next morning.
Perhaps because of the incident the day before yesterday, Princess Gesang's procession also moved a lot faster, refused the invitation of many officials on the road, and continued to hurry after resting at the post station.
Seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, and it is already the ninth day of the sixth month at this moment, and it is close to half a month from leaving Qiyang County.
Showa Prefecture is a food city, and there is nothing you can't eat here, only what you can't think of.
This city has the most complete cuisine in Yurui country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the capital of food.
You can smell the aroma of all kinds of food everywhere here, and you can be hungry for the aroma just after entering the city, and the guys in each shop are warmly beckoning customers to come in and taste it, and you can see a thriving scene.
"Wow, there are a lot of things to eat in this Showa Prefecture, I just heard that this is a city of food, and I thought it was just that the food was more famous, but now I look at it, oh my God, this is just the food that is more famous, I just swept over a dozen shops at a glance, and nine out of ten are for food. I don't know if there is any food on our grassland? Princess Gesang probed in the car, looked at everything around her, and couldn't help but sigh endlessly.
Shen Zhuru was naturally attracted by the food shops on the street.
She had been to the food city, but it was only a place in the town planning office where the food was stationed, specializing in cuisine from all over the world, from rough to delicate.
But even so, the scale is still not as amazing as the move of using a county town as a food city.
The cost of ingredients in just one day is incalculable. Not to mention, are there so many customers in the gourmet restaurants in the whole city?
Even if the whole city doesn't cook at home, but goes out to eat, I'm afraid it won't be enough for so many shops.
The county seat of Showa Prefecture is the only one that does not have a post station in the county.
Of course, it's not that Showa County doesn't have a post station set up by the imperial court, it's just that this post station is outside the city, a little distance.
Since you come to Showa County, you naturally have to taste the food of this city, and the most lively time in the whole Showa Prefecture is when night comes.
There is a saying that describes the food of Showa Prefecture like this.
If you don't live in Showa Prefecture at night, the city of food is in vain. Where are the delicacies? At nightfall, the party comes to the table.
It is said that the food in Showa Prefecture is the most complete and delicious only at night.
Princess Gesang naturally didn't want to miss this peculiar city, she was not happy to live in the post station, so she went straight to the city's largest inn, Wan'an Inn.
The guys at Wan'an Inn have also seen the world, and Princess Gesang's fancy dress only made him a little surprised, but it did not prevent him from greeting guests warmly.
"When you stay at the inn, you don't know what kind of courtyard you need. The private courtyard of our Wan'an Inn has three levels of upper, middle and lower levels, the most comfortable, luxurious and spacious is naturally the upper courtyard, and the middle courtyard ......"
"Okay, prepare an upper courtyard, a middle courtyard, preferably two courtyards next to each other, you don't need people to serve in your inn, we have people here." If you serve well, you will be rewarded. ”
The man's eyes lit up and he squinted with a smile.
This is the real big family, big money, I didn't hear the specific situation, so I set the yard, one or two places, which is a lot of commissions.
The man nodded busily, found the shopkeeper and took the key, and immediately led the people to see the yard.
The courtyard of Wan'an Inn is good, quiet enough, spacious enough, the most important thing is that there is no sound of food and pastries on the street in this courtyard, only the faint fragrance of flowers in the courtyard is pervasive, it is worthy of being the best inn in the business in the entire Showa County, and the environmental construction is good.
After deciding to live here, Mu Jinyang came to Shen Zhuru rarely.
"Brother and sister, I want to trouble you to ask the princess how long she will stay here in Showa Prefecture." As soon as he entered the door, Mu Jinyang opened his mouth to point out his intentions.
"Why did it suddenly occur to me to ask this?" Shen Zhuru was very surprised by Mu Jinyang's directness.
Since Mu Fenghua was absent in these days, unless necessary, Mu Jinyang rarely came to talk to her about these things alone, and there would always be a Li Qiu by his side.
"There is something to deal with. As for the specifics, please forgive me for not being able to say. Mu Jinyang said.
"Well, then I'll ask, and as for whether the princess will say that I can't guarantee it. You know, she's a princess, so how can I decide whether to stay or not, maybe I just agreed to stay, and I'll leave later. ”
"It's fine. Just ask for me, even if you change your mind temporarily, there is no way to do it. ”
"Oh well. I'll give it a try. ”
"Thank you."
After Mu Jinyang finished saying this, he left, looking a little impatient.
After about a cup of tea, Qiao Yuelong was dragged by Princess Gesang to Shen Zhuru's house.
At this moment, Princess Gesang obviously changed into a set of Yurui women's services, with a small pony whip pinned to her waist in her neat clothes, and two braids hanging down on her chest, looking delicate and lovely.
Princess Gesang, who suddenly changed her style and dress, looked like a low-key Miss Yurui, who would have thought that she was a princess from a foreign country.
"Zhuru, hurry up and change your clothes, let's go out to eat something good."
"Princess, it's still early, wouldn't it be too hot to go out so soon?" Looking at the eyes that had not yet descended the mountain, it would be estimated that it would be around four o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be too early to finish eating.
"No, it won't. You quickly change into clothes that are not cumbersome, take your maid with you, and we will go shopping on the street and eat delicious food. I've brought a lot of silver, so you'll have enough to eat. Also, I heard from the buddy that there are also grassland flavors in Showa Prefecture, and I will take you to taste the deliciousness of my grassland. Of course, if the other party does not do it authentically, I will smash that person's shop and save the store from cheating people. ”
Good guys, violent enough.
The grassland is so big, and it is not necessarily the same as the taste of various ethnic groups, and it is normal to have differences.
However, if they are princesses, they can't help it.
Just take this opportunity to complete Mu Jinyang's matter.
"Princess, now that you have arrived in Showa County, and it is only three days away from the capital, are you going to leave for the capital early tomorrow morning, or do you want to stay here for a few days?"
"Needless to say, it's almost time to get to the place anyway, so it's natural to have a good time in such a peculiar place. When I got to the capital, I wouldn't be as easy as I am now. It's rare to travel for such a long time, so naturally you have to stay here for a few more days. ”
"How many days will it last?"
"What? Do you have something? ”
"No, just casually ask, after all, after knowing how long it takes, I wonder how to use the rest of the time. After all, in such a big city, there are good things to eat everywhere, but there are more or less good and bad, you can't eat the same thing, so how long will it take. There's always a bit of purpose, right? ”
"Yes. Then I'll ask you to investigate and see what is the most famous and unique in the whole of Showa Prefecture, and then slowly decide to go to those places. Here, it is estimated that you will stay for at least three days, which should be enough. ”
"Then I see. I'll go back and change my clothes first, and then you can sit back in the hall, and I'll come." ”
"Hurry up."
"I will."
Shen Zhuru went back to the room and asked Yueyang to wait for her to change into clothes suitable for going out.
"Young lady, you don't have to pay attention to the affairs of Mr. Mu, why do you have to find a reason to ask the princess for him?" Yueyang couldn't help asking.
"It's just a gesture, what does it matter."
"But Mr. Mu is not a good person after all, and helping him will hurt himself when the time comes."
"There are so many people in the world, and no one dares to say that they are necessarily good people. As long as you don't violate your own interests, there's nothing to worry about. What's more, your young master is relieved to let him stay with us, what are you worried about? (To be continued.) )
