Chapter 342: Caravan Suspicions
Behind Sikong Yue's room is the backyard of the inn, pushing open the window and looking down, you can see the beloved horse eating bean cake forage in the wooden shed at the moment, as if feeling Sikong Yue's sight, the horse that is eating is fragrant raised his head and barked twice in the direction of her room, lowered his head and continued to chew.
There was a slight sound of wooden planks crushing outside the door, it sounded like a lot of people came upstairs, stopped at the door for a moment, and with the knock on the door, Xiao Er said outside the door: "Master Jun, the bath water you want is here"
Sikong Yue closed the window and said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the two who came first carried a huge wooden basin, and the wooden basin was carefully put up after Xiao Er spread the linoleum under his arm on the floor, and then the people who came in turned poured the water from the wooden bucket in their hands into the basin, and a burst of white smoke spread in the room, bringing a burst of warmth to the room.
Xiao Er added some firewood to the stove in the house and took a few small workers out of the room, and did not forget to leave a sentence before closing the door: "The military master washes slowly, the meals are ready, and the military master calls me directly after washing."
When they left the room, Sikong Yue locked the door, took off her dusty soft armor shirt, scattered her hair and immersed it in the wooden basin, and only then did she have time to start thinking about the unusual things she had encountered along the way.
In the past, the caravans I saw were mostly silk tea and all kinds of fine porcelain and woodware, but this time I came back and saw that the caravan going to Beilin carried more iron, stone, gunpowder and all kinds of books, although they would also bring those cloth tea leaves in the past, but the quantity was much less than before.
Why is that? According to Sikong Yue's previous understanding, Beilin itself also produces iron and stone, although the purity is worse than here, but it is not unusable, and the weapons of Beilin people are mostly heavy soldiers, and it is also appropriate to use those coarse iron stones, and the demand for gunpowder is also greater than before, is it because of the winter, but these situations are still noted down first, and they are discussed when they return to the palace.
After quickly taking a shower and coming out, he took out clean clothes from the package and put them on, wrapped the dirty clothes again, and called the guest Xiao Er to come in and clean up the wooden basin and pass the meal.
The food is said to be a popular style in the royal capital today, and the cooking is much more detailed than the medicine I saw when I came back last time, looking at these meals reminded Sikong Yue of the ones he had eaten in the maid's dining hall when he returned home, and it looked quite novel.
Pick up a piece of tofu, "... Eight treasure tofu? It looks delicious", but when I put it in my mouth, I didn't have the slightest taste like the chef in the maid's canteen in my memory.
"Sure enough, she is the only one who can make that kind of taste", shook her head with a smile, and continued to eat, the food in this inn may not have been bad, but it is a pity that it is difficult to feel that other dishes are delicious after eating the food made by Huamian at the beginning.
Living in the barracks for a long time has developed the habit of not wasting food, Sikong Yue finished eating the food in the dishes, and did not change Xiao Er to come in to clean up, but continued to sit by the window for a while, listening to the sound of drinking and punching from the room next door, closed the window and turned to go to bed to rest.
The long-term development of the schedule made Sikong Yue get up before the rooster crows, because it is inconvenient to reveal his whereabouts, he did not carry out the morning exercise as usual, sat in the room for a while, and heard that the subordinates next door also got up, pushed open the door and went out to beckon them to have breakfast together.
