Seeing the dishes coming up at this moment, he first scooped a bowl of mutton soup for Mrs. Zhang and Yang Zongbao, urging them to eat quickly: "It's best to eat mutton soup this winter, drink a bowl quickly, and go to the cold." ”

On the Qilidun side, there is only pork, chicken and fish to eat every day.

Cattle are strictly forbidden to be eaten by the imperial court, and even the cows that die of old age and illness, or fall and can't survive, are about to be slaughtered, and they have to be prepared by the yamen for cases, and they have no chance to eat them.

Mrs. Zhang took the bowl and smelled it first, there was a little smell of meat in the aroma, and there was a smell of pepper, and she tried to take a sip, and the pepper taste mixed with the umami of mutton suddenly rushed into her head, and she was suddenly shocked.

After a bowl of belly, the whole body was warm, not to mention, and the tip of the nose was still a little sweaty.

Yang Zongbao has been traveling south and north for many years, and he is extremely good at this mouthful, and he drank three bowls in a row before he exhaled a happy breath.

Now only Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu are still guarding filial piety, only picking up the vegetarian dishes to eat, seeing that Mrs. Zhang was distressed, she turned her head and instructed Mrs. Ding: "Find their inn for a while and ask, if there is a stove, let's borrow one and boil some snow ear red date soup for Yongzhu and the two of them to make up." ”

Mrs. Ding hurriedly agreed.

This snow ear red date soup, or Mrs. Zhang chanted in front of Mrs. Qi, saying that this is filial piety, the two children have lost weight, and they are still growing their bodies, and autumn is the time to paste autumn fat, everyone has grown meat, but the two children are pitifully thin, and they have to bump on the road for a month, where can they hold up and so on.

Mrs. Qi is also distressed, but she also knows that this filial piety is right, and Song Chongjin is now half-footed in the official career, so she must pay more attention to these.

However, she has seen more in the end, and there are many nobles in the capital who keep filial piety, and the emperor has to keep filial piety for three years after his father dies, and she has not seen the emperor starving.

By what? Rely on all kinds of soup tonics, otherwise who can bear it?

I also quietly told Mrs. Zhang a few soup recipes, such as this snow fungus red date soup, red dates are good to say, there are many dates in the countryside, but the snow fungus is not easy to get, although they rely on the big black mountain, the fungus is common, this white snow fungus is rare.

It is also an extremely rare thing, in previous years, even if these things were picked in the mountains, they were reluctant to eat at home, and only dried them to sell them at a good price.

I heard that these snow ears are all taken away for those nobles in the capital and the ladies in the palace to eat, nourishing yin and replenishing qi, which is the most peaceful.

The best snow fungus is more sought-after than the average bird's nest.

Mrs. Zhang paid attention, and heard that this snow fungus and red dates are very good for women, can nourish and nourish the skin, and when she returned to Qilidun, she told the Wang brothers to keep the snow fungus they received, and they also made up almost a pound.

It is always collected, and a small pot of stew is given to Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin at the end of three days, and only for them to drink, and no one will give it.

Wang Yongzhu drank this way, he didn't feel anything, but he felt that Song Chongjin didn't know if it was because he didn't have to hunt and run around now, or because of the nourishment of snow ears, and his face was not so dark.

also secretly laughed at Song Chongjin, after drinking like this for two years, this black face is about to be drunk into a white face.

Since then, Song Chongjin has changed color when he heard about snow ear soup.

It's a pity that this mother-in-law's care is like the sea, even if he resists again, when the snow fungus soup is served, he can only grit his teeth and drink it.

After resting in this Yuelai Inn for two days, Yang Zongbao also inquired with the shopkeeper of the inn and Xiao Er, there is also a Yuelai Inn in the capital, and this inn is the same.

When they first arrived in the capital, they had no place to stay for the time being, so they would definitely have to live in an inn, and it would not be too late to slowly find a suitable house.

This Yuelai inn is not bad, as long as the reward is sufficient, up to the shopkeeper, down to the guy, are extremely good to talk, the hot water has not been cut off every day, it is a big night to take a snack, served up is also steaming, just baked.

The shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn also said that if they go to the capital and stay in their own inn, not only will they be free of charge, but they will also give a discount on the room price.

Yang Zongbao had also been to the capital at the beginning, and the reputation of Yuelai Inn had always been good, so he was quite moved.

When Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu heard this, they also thought it was good, so as not to get the inn and have to go all over the street to find a place to live, it was better to settle down early and then make plans.

Since it was decided, early the next morning, the shopkeeper personally arranged a carriage and asked the guys in the store to drive the carriage to the capital.

Between the county town and the capital, the official road is wide, and the walk is stable, but it doesn't suffer much.

Seventy or eighty miles away, but in the afternoon.

From afar, I saw the tall city gates, meandering crowds and carriages, and a long queue formed at the city gate.

After waiting for a while, it was their turn, and after checking the documents and directions of each of them, the guard guarding the city gate waved his hand and signaled for permission.

As soon as you enter the city gate, a noisy and lively atmosphere rushes to your face.

The capital is really the weather of the Son of Heaven, extraordinary, not to mention the crowd of people who come and go on the road, the clothes are rich and not comparable to other places.

The tone of these people's speech and the way they walked revealed a vigor that was not found elsewhere.

Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu were still gone, and Mrs. Zhang lifted the curtain and looked at the scene outside, and she didn't know how many Buddhas she had recited.

Not to mention Mrs. Wu and Gu Yu, they are even more dumbfounded, their eyes are completely insufficient, everything is beautiful, and everything is strange.

Mrs. Wu was still secretly laughing in her heart that day, and her sister-in-law, after arriving in the county seat, she saw everything strangely, and the hillbilly who was alive entered the city.

Now, she herself feels like a hillbilly who has never seen the world.

Because it gets dark early, soon after the sun goes down, the twilight is shrouded, and the shops on both sides of the street are lit up one after another, and from a high place, it looks like the Milky Way has fallen into the world for nine days.

When I arrived at the Yuelai Inn, it was already dark.

As soon as the man who led the way went in, the shopkeeper and a few men came out, and while inviting people to the lobby, they ordered all the lights in the courtyard to be lit, and then let the distinguished guests choose.

Now it is the beginning of the lunar month, and the rooms in the inn are quite tight, but this courtyard is empty because of the price.

Yang Zongbao followed and went to look around, and chose a slightly remote and quiet courtyard, with only three or four rooms, as well as a pantry, a flower hall, and a small courtyard, with a monthly rent of three taels of silver.

There is a compartment in the pantry, so it's convenient to heat a meal, steam a snack, or make a soup or something.

It was settled, and it took a long time to be busy before everything was settled.

This settled down temporarily, had dinner, and when Mrs. Wu and the others went down, Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu and Mrs. Zhang discussed with Yang Zongbao what to do next.
