83_83499 From Jingfeng County to Zedong County in Guangde County, it takes more than a month to take the waterway, and Du Qiyue has not been seasick for a day in this month, but he is used to being dizzy, and he is not much uncomfortable in the second half of the journey. It's just that I don't know if it's the effect of drugs or the self-paralyzing effect of the brain, Du Qiyue became very sleepy in the second half of the road, getting up for an hour or two every day, and sleeping at other times. In Qi Zining's words, Du Qiyue simply slept all his life in the past month and a half.
"It's good to be able to sleep." Du Qiyue pouted and said.
"Well, look how much weight you've lost along the way? I said earlier that if you go by land, it would be fine, you have to take a boat. Qi Zining snorted.
"It's easy for you to say, the cost of this journey cost more than 20 taels, and you won't be refunded if you get off the boat halfway. The county magistrate of Jingfeng County gave a total of forty taels of silver for the journey, and there were more than ten taels left, and if you want to change to a carriage, the car money will be more than that. I still have to stay in a guest house and eat, where is the money? Du Qiyue patted the back of his hand and said.
"You didn't bring any money with you?" Qi Zining asked.
"I didn't bring it." It's not easy to make money now, and the money Du Qiyue brought with himself is for emergency use, and he won't touch it casually.
"If you don't bring it, you don't bring it, anyway, I'll be in Zedong County tomorrow. But Leya, your physique is really weird, I have lived so long but I have never seen anyone who can be seasick for more than a month, even if the dizziness is terrible, it will only take a few days to get used to it, you are useless to drink medicine. Qi Zining was really a little speechless about Du Qiyue's physique, he originally thought about a lot of games on the boat, who knew that Du Qiyue was seasick, and he was dizzy for so long, which made him bored to death these days.
"Young Master Qi, our Lang Jun's physique is rare in the south, and there are many in the north, and there are many landlubbers in the north. In the past, I heard others say that today's Prince Ronghe once took a boat to an island in the east to play, but he fainted all the way, and the accompanying imperial doctors were severely punished, saying that it was useless to take any medicine, and he could only sleep. Qiu'er interjected on the side.
"Yo, it seems that our Le Ya still has a noble body, but it's a pity that there is only one white-bearded old doctor on this ship, and there is no doctor to punish him." Qi Zining quipped.
"If I can punish someone, I'll be the first to punish you, knowing that I'm uncomfortable, you still come to disturb me twice for three days, what's your heart?" Du Qiyue raised his eyebrows and glared at Qi Zining and said.
Qi Zining looked at Du Qiyue with a vexatious look, and said, "You are sick, I should come to visit you, how can you be kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”
"I can't help you with your sharp mouth, if you don't get out of here quickly, I'm going to sleep." Du Qiyue said, while closing his eyes and pulling the quilt to cover his face.
Qi Zining pursed his lips boredly and obediently rolled out. He has been looking forward to Du Qiyue being able to fight with Du Qiyue for an hour or two when he is awake these days, but he doesn't dare to really offend Du Qiyue, otherwise this person can sleep for a day without talking and ignore him, it is not to be bored to death.
Da Mao looked at Qi Zining's back as he happily ran away, and said: "This Young Master Qi's temperament is strange, he has to be scolded to be comfortable, he is scolded every day to get out, why is he not angry at all!" ”
"Isn't Qi Gongzi just coming to fight with our Langjun every day, he is idle on the boat! The chefs Qi Gongzi who took this boat with us didn't look down on them and didn't want to deal with them, so they could talk to us every day to relieve their boredom. Qiu'er looked up and said.
"Qi Gongzi is not followed by four little guys, and he won't be so bored that he doesn't even have a speaker, right?" Da Mao said puzzled.
"Can a little girl be the same as a friend? The master and the servants talk to give orders, and those who are friends are used to chat. When you were drunk in Fulou, did you see that our young master had nothing to do with Lian Ming Liuming? Qiu'er said with squinted eyes.
"It turns out that there are such rules, but I have never paid attention to them."
"There are a lot of rules outside, I'll talk to you about it later. There are many dignitaries and nobles in Zedong County, and you are reckless in the province and have caused trouble. Qiu'er thought for a while and said.
A day later, the passenger ship arrived at the pier in Zedong County. Guangde County is much larger than Qinan County, the whole county is like spring in all seasons, rich in products, and the waterways and land routes are very developed, so it is much more prosperous than Qinan County. As the head of the county, Zedong County is more prosperous than the capital, the wharf is several times larger than Jingfeng County, a row of large and small ships are parked, many of which are cargo ships, one by one porters or carry or carry, busy moving large goods from the ship, piled up on the shore of the ox carts. These oxen carts were loaded with goods and were driven in rows to the city, taking up most of the road.
In addition to the cargo ships, there were several passenger ships from all over the world, each of which had to carry a hundred people, and as soon as they docked, they lowered their decks, and the travelers on board hula and hugged the boats, and the docks became even more lively.
Du Qiyue and a few people got off the passenger boat, stood on the wide avenue paved with bluestone slabs on the wharf, looking at the people and vehicles coming and going, Qi Zining couldn't help but sigh: "It's really lively here, I've always heard people say that the prosperous place of the Dafeng Dynasty is this Zedong, and now it looks like this." ”
"yes, it's really lively." Du Qiyue was also a little surprised when he looked at the scene in front of him, such a lively situation was no worse than Du Qiyue's previous world.
"If you have the opportunity to come here this time, even if you lose the game, it will be worth it." Qi Zining said that he had already planned to go through all the fun and beautiful places in Zedong County, so as not to come in vain.
Du Qiyue didn't answer, maybe Qi Zining felt that it didn't matter if he didn't move forward when he got here, but he wasn't, what he wanted to go to most was Dadu, and Zedong County was not his destination.
Passenger boats come to the wharf almost every day, and because many customers are willing to rent a car to hurry, there are many oxen and horses parked on the side of the wharf, and the coachmen will come to solicit business as soon as they see someone getting off the passenger ship. Du Qiyue had a lot of luggage, so he randomly found an ox cart, and then asked the coachman to take them to the inn closest to the county government.
That night, Du Qiyue took a hot bath comfortably and fell asleep, and got up early the next morning for breakfast, and planned to walk around the most prosperous streets in the neighborhood with Qi Zining, but who knew that the two of them were stopped as soon as they went downstairs.
The one who stood in the way was a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper, and after seeing Du Qiyue and Qi Zining, he came up and politely bowed, and then asked, "Dare to ask which of the two Langjun is Du Qiyue Du Langjun?" ”
Du Qiyue and Qi Zining glanced at each other, and asked with doubts on their faces: "I am, may I ask what this gentleman is looking for me?" We're afraid we don't know each other. ”
"That's the case, the little one is Sun Yi, the steward of the Taishou Mansion in Zedong County, today is the birthday of our eldest lady in the house, our lord heard from a friend that Du Langjun is a must to make longevity noodles, so let the little one come over and invite Du Langjun to go to the mansion to make a birthday noodles for our eldest lady, I don't know if Du Langjun has the kung fu to go over?" The steward said respectfully.
Du Qiyue was full of doubts when he heard this, his craft of making shou noodles was also a little famous in Dahu Town, how did it reach the ears of the Taishou of Zedong County, which is 108,000 miles away, when communication was so inconvenient? This Taishou knows that it's okay to listen to it, but he still remembers it, not only remembering it, but now he has specially sent someone to pick him up to do the meeting. This is picked up, but the blame is that he just arrived in Zedong County yesterday, and he silently announced his name, how did the people who guarded the mansion know that he had arrived, and how did they know that he lived in this inn?
Du Qiyue couldn't figure out these things, but the most important thing now was to take over this task, this was an invitation from Taishou, how could he dare to refuse such a small person.
"Steward Sun, I'm working hard now, but I used to prepare soup in advance for noodles, and now I'm afraid it's too late."
"It's okay, there's no hindrance, the kitchen in the house is always stocked with all kinds of broth, and Du Langjun will just look at it when the time comes." Sun Yi said hurriedly.
"Then can I take my apprentice with me, he can give me a hand." Du Qiyue asked again.
"Of course, it can." Sun Yi nodded.
"Shall we go over now, then? Can you please wait here for a while, please let me go back to the house and change my clothes, I'm afraid this is not suitable. Du Qiyue pulled down her wide sleeves and said. He was wearing a robe today, dressed as a scholar, so it was not easy to go into the kitchen.
"Naturally, Du Langjun, please go quickly."
So Du Qiyue went to the Taishou Mansion in a daze, and then was invited into the kitchen of the Taishou Mansion in a daze
