Chapter 835
Sweet potato? What's so strange about this?
It's strange, why did the third lady hold on to the sweet potato?
Although Wang Xiaogou thought it was strange, he obediently went to a corner of the stove room, where there was a wooden shelf against the wall, and there were many things on it, including clay pots, braided pots, and a few sacks against the wall.
Wang Xiaogou untied one of the bags and said, "It's all here." "Inside that sack was half a bag of sweet potatoes.
"It used to be a bag full, but last night everyone was so hungry that I cooked half a bag, and now that's all that's left." It shouldn't matter, after all, sweet potatoes are not a valuable thing, but why are the eyes of the third lady so strange! Looking at the appearance of this sweet potato, it is like looking at gold, is it so rare?
Qin Daixin opened the other bags one by one and looked at them, only to see that they were filled with ordinary grains, including black beans, corn, and some japonica rice, good japonica rice. They were all full of sacks, and the mouth of the sack was tightly tied with twine, and except for this sweet potato, the other bags were untouched.
Qin Dai pondered.
There is almost no arable land in Bianwu Town, and the customs and food culture here are closer to Wana. People feed on beef and mutton, grassland wild animals, or eat dairy products, the staple food is only barley, ground into flour, and make all kinds of flour food, accompanied by goat milk, all kinds of meat. All year round, three meals a day, meals and so on! The sudden appearance of so many grains in front of me, as well as sweet potatoes, is really a bit unbelievable.
Seeing Qin Daixin in a daze at most of the bags of sweet potatoes, everyone gathered around and looked inside.
What's so nice about this.
Qin Daixin looked down at the sweet potatoes in the bag again, and saw that the sweet potatoes were extremely well preserved, although the heat in the stove was heavy, there were no sprouts, it should have just been delivered.
These bags of grain, not too much, no less. It's really a bit strange to appear.
Whether this grain was left by Hu Fatzi before he disappeared, or was it accidentally obtained by these traffickers, or was it brought over by a caravan passing by.
Nothing else. I'm afraid that someone else specially brought it over, then this inn will be interesting.
Qin Daixin felt that she should have seen the Yu family, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, and she hesitated for a while.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Reiko glanced at it several times, but didn't find anything special about this half bag of sweet potatoes.
Qin Daixin put the slightly cold sweet potato in her hand into her mouth, only to feel that the cold sweet potato seemed to be sweeter, if she could find something out of this sweet potato, then Wang Xiaopu would also be indispensable.
She patted the ash on her hands and said, "It's okay." Is the ninth master's breakfast ready, and if it's ready, I'll send it up. ”
Reiko responded, "Okay, Xueqing's dry food is also loaded." ”
Qin Dai replied in her heart, turned around and left the stove.
Ji Wan'er shook her head. I don't understand what hysteria this girl is having.
Qin Daixin went back to the house, and her heart was still on the sweet potato.
Suppose a caravan brought this grain to the inn, to whom was it going to be given to? Is it Hu Fatty? Or someone else?
Hu Fatzi is a local, born and raised in Sri Lanka since he was a child, and he will not be unaccustomed to the local diet. You have to eat some sweet potatoes to try! Is it for the guests?
Nor will it.
The people who travel between the border of Wana and Dayong are either caravans and travel between the two places all the year round, or they are people who have come to flee for refuge and avoid disaster, no matter what kind of people they are, they will not be so picky. Someone deliberately asked someone to get some food.
Qin Dai thought of the neatly tied sack of grain, and her heart suddenly burst out. Could it be that the final destination of the grain is not this inn, but somewhere else? But where exactly are they going to be sent, why don't they ask the caravan to send them directly. Instead, do you want to take a turn here from Fat Hu?
In the depths of the hinterland of the grassland, there are many, large and small Vana tribes, only there, which cannot be touched by caravans, no matter how powerful the trading houses, such as the Shengyue Trading Company, have been operating for many years, they still can't extend their tentacles to any tribe in the hinterland. The Vana people's wariness of Dayong is far more powerful than they imagined.
Where the caravan can't go, can it be that the fat man can go? Or, Hu Fatzi is here to hide people's ears and eyes? The disappearance of Hu Fatzi remains to be verified, and the identity of Hu Fatzi is even more worthy of investigation.
Qin Daixin's slender fingers gently tapped on the tabletop, the rhythm was not hurried or slow, just like Qin Daixin's mood.
It seems that if you want to put a long line, catch a big fish, and pull out the people behind Wu Sandao little by little. If you catch Wu Sandao, you will inevitably startle the snake.
Qin Dai sighed in her heart, only to feel a tightness in her chest.
The person they are dealing with now is undoubtedly King Qing'an, but after King Qing'an arrived in Wana, he actually disappeared, although the reason is unknown, but it is certain that someone took his place. This person should be the prince of Qing'an, according to Murong Jing's understanding and inference of him, this prince of Qing'an should be just a puppet, and it is Zhou Xinmiao, the daughter of the Zhou family, who is really controlling the overall situation behind.
The woman who once had a leg with Murong Jing was a scheming woman with a lot of means.
She thought that they were in the dark, those people were in the light, and some things should be easy to operate. But there was a traitor on the side of the wind, and this qiē changed its appearance.
It's really hard to say who is bright and who is dark now.
Let's ask, what if Zhou Xinmiao knew about their savings?
Murong Jing said that what they lacked was an excuse to deal with Dayong, as if everything was ready, and only Dongfeng was owed. Now it seems that they are the kind of east wind! The dignified prince, with a small group of elites immersed in Dayong, once this matter is put on the surface, the two countries will inevitably fight!
What good will it do that woman to provoke trouble between the two countries? Did she do this to protect herself, or did she have an unforgettable old relationship and what she wanted to prove to Murong Jing? Or, she has a Wu Zetian hidden in her bones at all?
Wusandao......
You'll have to start with him, and without further ado.
Qin Daixin knocked on the table twice suddenly, a deep and dazzling light flashed in her eyes, she stood up suddenly, pushed open the door and walked out.
Qin Daixin walked quickly to Murong Jing's door, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door twice.
She hadn't forgotten the embarrassment of Jì Fangcai.
No one answered in the house.
There was the sound of footsteps downstairs.
Reiko ran up panting, "Master, the Ninth Master has taken someone out." ”
Out at this time?
"Didn't you say where you went?"
Reiko nodded. Said: "The ninth master took Wang Xiaopu, saying that he wanted to catch Wu Sandao alive!" ”
Qin Dai was stunned, he didn't expect the two of them to go together, but he didn't come to discuss it with him. Again. Isn't he afraid of being seen?
"The Ninth Master went to catch Wu Sandao, why?"
Lingzi quickly replied: "I'm going to deliver food to the Ninth Master, Wang Xiaogou has to send two roasted sweet potatoes to the Ninth Master, the Ninth Master somehow, just like you, asked where this thing came from, and the slave replied to the Ninth Master, and said that you also asked." The ninth master listened to it and didn't say a word. I didn't even eat and took people out. ”
At this point, it's useless to talk more, you can only wait for news.
Qin Daixin thought about it carefully, and then asked, "The door of the inn is sealed, and the Ninth Master and they walked through the back door." But who did it alarm? ”
Reiko shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know." However, someone came to call the door before, presumably to invest in the store, but then when I saw that no one answered, I didn't know what the people outside said, so I gave up. ”
The rumor that this inn is a black shop has long been rumored. If it weren't for the fact that the people in Wuzhen here are not easy to mess with. Everyone who can gain a foothold here has a means that no one else knows, but I am afraid that the bitter master will come to the door a long time ago! It is precisely because everyone is wise enough to protect their lives and secretly admit this dumb loss that those traffickers have become more and more arrogant, from using the inn as a place for Tibetans at the beginning, and slowly transitioning to directly abducting people in the inn. Growing bold.
Qin Daixin narrowed her eyes and only said: "Staring outside, I'm not afraid of rumors, but if someone wants to fish in troubled waters, I'm not allowed." ”
Reiko looked stunned. hurriedly said: "Master rest assured. ”
Qin Daixin said again: "If the ninth master comes back, you will notify me immediately." ”
"Yes."
Qin Dai was a little uneasy, but she also knew that she couldn't be here, even if she pretended, she had to go back to the room. She looked at Reiko, said nothing, and turned back to the house.
Lingzi sighed, she originally wanted to ask Qin Daixin if she wanted to have breakfast, but seeing that it was like this, there should be no need to ask again.
I'm afraid the master is not in the mood to eat.
was thinking about it, but she heard someone coming upstairs downstairs, she stared at it, and it turned out to be Xue Qing coming.
Xue Qing was dressed neatly, with a short placket, leggings, a thick half-length cotton coat on the outside, a half-new floral headscarf wrapped in her hair, a big shiny braid hanging down on her chest, a pair of old gray boots on her feet, and a small burden behind her.
"Master!"
Lingzi pointed to Qin Daixin's room and said softly: "I heard about the Ninth Master going to catch Wu Sandao, and I was worried!" ”
Xue Qing sighed, and then turned her head to talk to her, "Since this is the case, I won't say goodbye to the master, you take me to tell the master, and I will definitely get the thing done." ”
Reiko nodded, "You have to be careful. ”
Xue Qing smiled and rubbed the top of Reiko's head, "I know." Then he said, "I'm leaving." ”
Reiko watched Xue Qing go downstairs, and only then did she withdraw her gaze until she couldn't see her figure in the air. Everyone around her is busy, but she seems to be very idle.
Forget it, she better go downstairs and help out in the stove.
Reiko went downstairs and turned into the stove.
When Ji Wan'er saw her coming, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and only said: "Where have you been, this meal has been cooked, why don't you eat them one by one~ It's okay if others don't eat it, but my sister has to eat." She uses her brain all day long to calculate this, calculate that, and if she doesn't eat, how can she have the strength? ”
When Reiko heard this, her depression disappeared without a trace, and she burst out laughing.
