Sending letters in this era is far more troublesome than in modern times.

Although the Great Chu Dynasty had a post station, it was only for official use, and ordinary people wanted to send letters, or they asked acquaintances to bring them back.

Either they happened to find out which caravan was going there, so they hurriedly paid for it and asked someone to help bring it.

This does not necessarily guarantee that it will be brought, and all kinds of accidents may cause the letter to not be delivered.

In the past, when Ye Hao lived in Peach Blossom Village, she basically didn't have this need, and she didn't pay attention to this information.

But after coming to Jingzhao, intentionally or unintentionally, I listened to the neighbors around me and talked a lot about this.

Written by Ye Ming, after writing the letter, Xing inquired for two days in a row, but did not find a suitable caravan.

"Mother, isn't there a caravan that is going to leave for Hexi Mansion?" At dinner that morning, Ye Hao listened to her mother's chatter and asked puzzled.

Xing shook his head: "I've heard that the caravan is not a good one!" There were several families around, and the Tona caravan had sent several letters. ”

"The money was also sufficient, but there was not even a reply, and in the end, the families still entrusted another caravan to deliver the letter, and the reply was also brought back."

"Guess what, it turns out that the caravan didn't send the letter over, I heard that someone saw the caravan throw all the letters! Tell me, how can people be so black-hearted? ”

Ye Hao blinked, okay, then in this case, it seems that you can only ask Mu Shao.

But it's so difficult to send letters, if she opened a courier station or something in ancient times, it seems to be quite promising?

However, as soon as this thought arose, she was left behind, so forget it, the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty is slightly larger than in the previous life.

In this place where travel can only be done by carriages and boats, if you want to do this, you can't do it without a little background and power.

It doesn't matter if you can't solve this by yourself, and Mu Qingfeng is here, the next day Xing just mentioned it slightly, and he responded to it.

In fact, Ye Hao's family is not impossible to solve, but it just takes a lot of time and effort to find a reliable and suitable person.

With Mu Qingfeng here, there is no need to be so troublesome.

More than a month has passed in a flash, the weather is gradually getting colder, and the business in Li's shop in Meixian County is a little colder than before.

However, Li is a brainer, before the weather is cold, in addition to the cold food of rice skin, the store will eat chicken soup wontons.

Although the weather is much colder now, the number of customers who are used to coming to her store to eat something on weekdays is only about 20% less at most.

This result has already made Li very happy.

There will be such results, and there is nothing else, that is, the food in Li's store is affordable and cost-effective.

A bowl of wontons costs three dollars, although there are only more than ten small wontons in it, you can drink a bowl in the early morning, or in the evening at sunset, when the weather is cold, not to mention warm, you can also mix half full, taste the taste of meat.

Save yourself the trouble of cooking at home, if you add a fragrant salmon egg cake, hey, don't say it, ordinary men can eat enough.

The reason why the Li family dared to sell it so cheaply was, of course, because the price of grain had fallen, although it had not yet returned to its original level, a bucket of rice and noodles was only more than ten yuan more expensive.

Compared with the original price, which has doubled several times, it has been much better.

The price of food is cheap, and the price of food in the small shop is affordable, so naturally there is no need to worry about customers.

This morning, after the two of them were busy with a wave of customers, they neatly packed up the dishes and spoons in the small shop and carried them to the backyard.

Li took off his oil-stained apron and said to her husband, "Remember to brush these bowls, I'll take a look at Shiro." ”

After the words fell, without waiting for her husband to answer, she turned around and walked to the hut at the back.

Halfway through, I remembered something, turned around and told me uneasily: "Remember, don't be like last time, you don't brush the bowl now, and when the guests come in a while, the bowl should be insufficient!" ”

Ye Zhengli waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I wrote it down, you go and see Shiro, I just vaguely heard him crying, don't be hungry!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shi immediately couldn't care about anything else, turned around and walked quickly into the hut.

Ye Zhengli wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, squatted down resignedly, washed and brushed, and came out to do business, although he didn't have to listen to his mother's scolding, he could make money.

But most of the work has to be done by the two of them, and the wife feels sorry for the two daughters, and she is reluctant to let them suffer, so she only asks them to do some light work on weekdays, such as making a wonton, cooking, cleaning or something.

For example, brushing dishes, a job that will make his hands rough if he brushes too much, naturally became his.

Pity him for being a big man, but he has to do this kind of work done by a woman, it's really a bitter tear to think about!

Halfway through the brush, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the store, "Is the store there?" ”

Ye Zhengli thought that business had come to the door, so he hurriedly answered, wiped his hand on his apron, and walked quickly through the small door and returned to the store.

When he saw someone coming, he immediately asked, "This guest, what do you want to eat?" ”

The man in the store, who was dressed in muslin clothes and looked ordinary, about thirty years old, asked with a smile when he heard this: "Is the store the Ye family who lives in Peach Blossom Village?" ”

Ye Zhengli frowned slightly, his heart became vigilant, and he hesitated before nodding in response: "Yes, why does this Lang Jun ask this?" ”

When the man heard the affirmative reply, he took out the letter sealed in a thin bamboo tube from his bosom, handed it over, and said, "Someone in Jingzhao has asked me to send you a letter. ”

Jingzhao? Could it be the second brother?

Ye Zhengli showed a hint of surprise on his face, and asked while taking the letter, "But the second brother?" Are they doing well in Jingzhao? ”

When the man heard this, he replied: "I don't know this, I have already delivered the letter, and I will leave!" ”

"Oh, Lang Jun, don't be in a hurry to leave, it's hard for you to send the letter, it's cold, drink a bowl of wontons to warm up, it'll be fine soon!"

didn't ask how to reply to the letter, how could Ye Zhengli just let the other party go? Reach out and want to hold the other person.

The man flashed lightly, and then dodged his hand, but he remembered something: "If there is a reply from the shopkeeper in the future, you can send the letter to the natural residence in the city before noon the day after tomorrow, and give it to the shopkeeper!" ”

"Okay, thank you so much to Lang Jun!" Ye Zhengli hurriedly responded with a smile.

The man nodded, said no more, and turned to leave.

Ye Zhengli got the answer he wanted, this time he didn't continue to stop the other party, seeing the person leaving, a trace of excitement crawled on his face, turned around and raised his legs and hurried to the backyard.

He didn't forget to shout: "The child is his mother, the child is his mother, the second brother has sent a letter, the second brother has sent a letter, let's take a look." ”

As soon as Li, who was coaxing his son in the house, heard this, he hurriedly shoved his son into the arms of his eldest daughter, and walked out of the house in a few steps: "Where is it, where is it....."
