Chapter 215: Travel
Shen Lan naturally didn't mention it, so she smiled and said: "Where is it worth anything, it's just that they eat it at home, they like it, it's good to eat it once a day, it's not that the eldest sister is stingy, but I'm afraid that you will eat bad stomachs, this fever is born sick and suffers." β
The last two sentences are naturally said to a few small ones, so Shen Mei and the others hurriedly agreed, Shen Zhao didn't say anything when he saw this, since the ice was all eaten, and he was not afraid of greedy stones, Shen Zhao asked Shen Lan to take the stones out to play, Shen Lan had no opinion, so Shen Lan's house was lively, Shen Hailing originally wanted to stay and have fun, but Shen Zhao's eyes swept over from time to time were too sharp, so he simply went to Shen Lan's study to see the count, Shen Mei and Shen Wei also took the leftover female red to sit in Shen Lan's house.
In the evening, Shen Changhai came back and knew that Shen Zhao and the others were coming, and he didn't ask anything, so Shen Lan's going out was naturally hidden, and Shen Changhai went out early the next day to go to the shop.
Shen Lan also packed her luggage here, knowing that Shen Lan went out with the Xu family this time, and Shen Zhao's also specially instructed the Xu family, asking her to take good care of Shen Lan, and she must take care of Shen Lan.
When the sun rose in mid-air, Yuan Hao brought people to come, and the three of them all rode horses, and immediately tied their luggage, and at first glance, they looked like they were going to go far away, Shen Zhao entrusted Yuan Hao again, for the girl who went out for the first time, Shen Zhao really couldn't let go, if she didn't have to take care of the children at home. I'm afraid that I want to take care of it.
Yuan Hao left a horse and let one of them be brought to act as a coachman, Shen Lan's luggage was already packed, Shen Er and Shen Da helped load the carriage, Shen Lan also got into the carriage with the support of the Xu family, and finally said goodbye to Shen Zhao and others, the carriage also moved, and disappeared at the end of the road in a blink of an eye.
The time on the carriage was very boring, and it was a leisurely journey for most of the day, and it was not yet at the post station at noon. There were no villages passed on the way. Shen Lan thought that the carriage would go on forever, but when she passed through a forest, Yuan Hao asked people to stop the carriage, and she rode to the carriage and said to Shen Lan in the carriage: "Lan Niang." I sat in a carriage for most of the day. It's hot again. It's time to get out of the car and get some air, it's the hottest time, so let's have something to eat and rest before we hit the road. β
Although the window of the carriage was always open. But the car was very stuffy, and after sitting for so long, Shen Lan was indeed a little uncomfortable, although she didn't get motion sickness, but after all, the weather was very hot and she was pregnant, how could she stand it after sitting for a long time? At this time, hearing Yuan Hao say this, he was suddenly refreshed.
"Okay, let's get out of the car and take a walk, and get some food by the way." Shen Lan opened the car door happily and was about to jump out of the carriage, but was stopped by Xu, "Madam, be careful, I'll help you down." β
Seeing that Shen Lan was about to jump down, Yuan Hao was also startled, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief thanks to the fast hands of the Xu family on the side.
"Lan Niang, be careful, you don't know if you're pregnant, and you dare to jump down?" Yuan Hao rode the horse away and turned over from the horse, opened his mouth angrily, and then threw the horse to the side of the road, where it ate some grass.
At this time, the others also dismounted, and the carriages dismounted, and they all put the horses aside to graze, Shen Lan walked on the road and looked at the surrounding environment, this is under a wood, because there are trees on both sides of the road, so there is shade, and it is not too hot.
Yuan Hao untied the water bag from the horse, walked over with the water bag, stretched out his hand and handed it to Shen Lan and asked, "Do you want to drink water?" β
Shen Lan's carriage was prepared with water, and she was not thirsty along the way, so she didn't want to drink water at this time, so she shook her head and said, "You drink, I'm not thirsty." β
Yuan Hao didn't say anything when he saw that she didn't want to, picked up the water bag and opened the lid of the water bag, opened his mouth and poured it to see, and drank a few sips of water before he felt better, on the other side, Shen Lan walked up along the shade of the tree next to the pipe, and sat in the carriage for a long time, and it was very comfortable to walk around at this time.
Then Xu, who followed the carriage, took out a black pot from the carriage, which attracted the attention of Yuan Hao and others for a while, and Yu Guang, who had been in the carriage for a long time, walked over and asked curiously: "Auntie, what are you going to do?" β
Xu didn't think much about it, and replied honestly: "Cook, help the eldest lady pick up some firewood, get some water, and build a shelf, and I'll cook pot porridge for you to drink." β
Originally, Yu Guang guessed that the Xu family was going to cook, but he didn't expect to be guessed, and suddenly felt that the woman was really troublesome, at this time, it was not enough to eat some dry food, what kind of rice to cook, but before coming, the second master had instructed to listen to the sister-in-law of the Song family, seeing that this old woman cooking porridge must also be for the sister-in-law of the Song family, if he didn't go to collect firewood, he was afraid that he would attract the reproach of the second master, and after thinking about it, he still reluctantly pulled Guo Rui with him, so one went to collect firewood, and the other went to find the land to fetch water.
The Xu family was slowly busy here, while Shen Lan and Yuan Hao were chatting on the road.
"Tired?" Yuan Hao asked on the side, Shen Lan shook his head, he was not very tired, but he was a little uncomfortable after sitting for most of the day, and the carriage was a little stuffy, so he said, "It's okay, it's just a little stuffy." β
Yuan Hao nodded, looking at the Xu family busy on the side of the carriage, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said with a bit of teasing: "How did you think of bringing the pot out?" β
Following Yuan Hao's line of sight, Shen Lan also saw that Xu was busy preparing to cook, and replied with a smile: "I thought that if I missed the post station or something on the way, I could cook some food by myself, no matter what, we were in a carriage, and it wasn't that there was no place to put it." β
Yuan Hao nodded when he heard this, according to his plan, he would not miss the meal, but he might not be able to find a place to eat at noon, but he had prepared dry food, and at this time, he was planning to wait for Shen Lan to walk for a while to relieve his breath, and then eat some dry food, but he didn't expect Shen Lan to be even more ruthless, and he actually brought the pot out of the house, and he could cook a meal during the rest time.
"Don't worry, we can go to Wanxiang Town tonight, and we will stay there at night, and we won't be hungry for you." Yuan Hao said jokingly.
Shen Lan went out for the first time in this era. I didn't know what to prepare, I was originally going to bring some dry food, but at this time, the temperature was high, and the food was easy to spoil, so Shen Lan also brought some boiled eggs, but it was only enough to eat for a day, so as not to spoil too much.
As for bringing pots and rice noodles, the main reason is that Shen Lan thinks that if she misses the hotel, she can cook something to eat in the wild, so that she will not go hungry, and she is not afraid of spoilage. At that time, I didn't expect Xu to take out the pot so quickly. A look of preparing for a picnic.
So when Yuan Hao said this, Shen Lan was a little embarrassed, as if she was very greedy, so she replied angrily: "Hmph." If you have the ability, don't eat the food cooked by Xu's mother. β
Yuan Hao didn't expect Shen Lan to get angry. Hurriedly begged for mercy: "I can't do it if I'm wrong." It's a shame that you're thoughtful, or I'll have to gnaw on hard steamed buns, how uncomfortable it is. β
"It's good to know. I also brought eggs and pickles to eat later. Shen Lan immediately spoke triumphantly, and Yuan Hao on the side couldn't help but laugh and admitted: "You are really amazing, so we can be regarded as having a serious meal." β
"Yes, I also prepared flour, so I can eat it even if I don't have eggs, so don't worry if I miss a place to stay." Shen Lan happily showed off.
It was the first time Yuan Hao had seen Shen Lan's childish side, and his heart was already happy, and he had to pretend to agree with him, accompanying Shen Lan to talk nonsense, and before he knew it, time passed very quickly, and the Xu family had already cooked the porridge over there.
"Madam, the second master has eaten." Xu shouted from afar.
Yuan Hao accompanied Shen Lan to go back, Xu added porridge to them, and went to the carriage to take out the boiled eggs and pickle cans, Yu Guang and Guo Rui also came around, and at the same time, the two also took roast chicken and steamed buns, seeing that the food was no worse than Shen Lan's preparation, Shen Lan's face suddenly turned red, and her eyes looked at Yuan Hao.
Yuan Hao hurriedly buried his head in drinking porridge, pretending not to see the look in Shen Lan's eyes that almost wanted to swallow him alive, while Yu Guang and the two were the second monk who was confused, but thinking that it was none of their business, drinking porridge was a serious matter, so only Xu asked worriedly: "Madam, what's wrong?" β
"It's fine." Shen Lan spoke silently, in fact, she also felt that she was very naΓ―ve, but she didn't know what was going on just now, so she talked to Yuan Hao about so many things.
Seeing Shen Lan say this, Xu didn't ask anymore, and also put a bowl of porridge and ate it, to say that in fact, this meal is rare and dry, but it is also a very hearty meal, which is much better than just eating steamed buns and roast chicken, so Shen Lan is not superfluous.
After eating, Yu Guang and Guo Rui took the initiative to take the pots and bowls to wash, and then rested for a while before they set off again and walked forward, because there were no people along the way, and the speed of the carriage was not fast, so the door of Shen Lan's carriage was also opened, so that when the carriage was running, the wind came in, which was much cooler than before, so Shen Lan was not so uncomfortable in the afternoon.
Finally arrived in Wanxiang Town before dark, Yuan Hao familiarly found an inn and asked for three upper rooms, one was Shen Lan's master and servant, one was his own residence, and the other was Yu Guang's two lives.
As soon as he moved in, Yuan Hao asked Xiao Er to prepare a meal, and also ordered to prepare hot water for washing at night, Shen Lan and Xu prepared their luggage and went into their own room, put down their luggage and sat for a while before going downstairs to have dinner.
Yuan Hao had already ordered the meal, and the chicken, duck and fish on the table made Shen Lan depressed for a while, but thinking that Yuan Hao's three big men must be carnivores, he didn't say anything after thinking about it, and asked for a bowl of rice and ate it slowly, but he didn't pick up the dishes much.
After eating for a while, Yuan Hao also found out, so he couldn't help asking, "Why don't you eat vegetables?" β
Without waiting for Shen Lan to answer, Xu Shi on the side took the lead in replying: "This dish is too greasy, our wife can't eat much, and my wife doesn't eat much meat at home on weekdays." β
Hearing this, Yuan Hao sandwiched a piece of white-cut beef and put it in Shen Lan's bowl and said: "It's not okay to just eat, this beef is not oily or fat, you can eat it." β
Shen Lan was stunned for a moment, so she could only stuff the meat into her mouth, this meat is a little salty, and it is not strange to cut it thinly, it is indeed not greasy to eat and then in the mouth, after all, it is just boiled with spiced star anise, and the beef pieces are cooled and cut into thin slices to eat, how can there be any oil.
"How?" Seeing Shen Lan frowning and eating, Yuan Hao couldn't help but ask.
Shen Lan nodded and replied, "It's okay, you can eat by yourself, leave me alone, I can take care of myself." β
Seeing this, Yuan Hao sandwiched a few pieces of beef into Shen Lan's bowl, the meaning was the most obvious, Shen Lan didn't dislike it, just ate a bowl of rice with beef, Yuan Hao and they ate the rest of the dishes into their stomachs, Shen Lan was startled, these people are too good to eat, it's a shame that she didn't prepare a buffet, if she didn't meet such a big stomach, what business would she sit on?
At this point, Shen Lan stopped preparing to open a buffet, and now it seems that her original world is suitable for buffets, because everyone can't eat much, no matter what, they will make money.
After dinner, Yuan Hao and the others also rode horses for a day, so they naturally wanted to go back to the house early to sleep, and there was nothing to go outside about, after all, it was not a festival, most of the shops closed after dark, and it was dark and black when they walked outside, and there was nothing to look at at all, but it was not like Shen Lan's world, where shops everywhere were open until after ten o'clock in the evening, and some places were open all night.
So after dinner, everyone went upstairs, Shen Lan and Xu were no exception, Xu sent Shen Lan back to the house, turned around and went out, and after a while, this basin of hot water walked in.
After Xu wet a cloth towel, wrung it out and took it to the bed, wiped the mattress on the bed several times before relieving his heart, and took down the pillow and the cover sheet on the bed and put it aside, and used the pillow and quilt he brought out from home instead.
The shopkeeper put down the hot water and went out, Xu immediately scooped the hot water and washed the bathtub placed in the corner of the house, and then scooped the hot water into the bathtub and served Shen Lan to bathe.
After taking a bath, Shen Lan lay down on the scrubbed mat, the slightest coolness passed from under her back, it was very comfortable, and she was a little confused after a while, and she fell asleep after a while, after all, after a day of carriage, Shen Lan was indeed a little tired, so she fell asleep as soon as she got into bed.
After Xu himself took a bath, he asked Xiao Er to pick out the water, then closed the door, went to bed and fell asleep next to Shen Lan. (To be continued......)
