Chapter 052: Texas Grilled Chicken
Zhilan was curious, so she looked at them twice, only to find that the girl also looked back at the person at their table. When the girl saw Zhilan looking at them, she quickly turned her head, and her expression looked cold and stubborn.
This little episode passed quickly, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it, so they ate a few bites and hit the road. When he arrived at the dock, Lin Mubai took a few people to find the boat first.
Zhilan and Shen'er were very bored sitting in the car, so they quietly lifted the curtain and looked out the window. I saw that the dock was full of pedestrians, men were busy carrying and unloading goods, boatmen were carrying heavy suits, and some even dragged their children and daughters, and the crowd of people came and went to overwhelm the deck. On the bank of the river, the slender man is full of embankments, and the trumpets of setting sail are one after another. Several large boats have docked on the river, and dozens of small boats have shuttled back and forth, creating a lively and busy atmosphere.
At this moment, Lin Mubai and the others had already come back and said to everyone: "Let's go!" The ship has been found! ”
So the coachmen hurried their way through the bustling crowd to the deck of the ship. The ship was medium in size, and the whole package was enough for a dozen of them to live on it for two months. Everyone was busy unloading their luggage from the car and carrying it to the ship, and in the chaos, they didn't notice that two figures had sneaked into the cabin.
After everyone got on the boat, Lin Mubai came down and explained a few words to the coachmen, asking them to drive the empty car back to the capital and come back here to pick up people at this time in the autumn of the next year.
As soon as Lin Mubai came up, the boatman took off the cables tied to the iron anchor on the shore one by one, lowered the mast sail and set sail. Except for Lin Mubai, everyone was on the ship for the first time, and it was so novel for a while that they refused to sit in the cabin, standing on the deck one by one and looking around. The youngest was the most excited at this time, and ran back and forth on the deck, and the crowd could not gather, and when they saw that the ship was safe, they had to follow him.
The boat had left the dock, and the people on the shore were getting smaller and smaller. When everyone was looking at the scenery on the river outside, they suddenly heard Guanfeng shouting inside, "Who are you?" ”
Everyone hurriedly went into the cabin to check, and Guanfeng was cross-legging his waist and questioning the two people in the corner. Everyone stepped forward to take a closer look, but it turned out to be the mother and daughter they had seen in the inn today. Seeing that so many onlookers had been gathered, the woman immediately blushed, squatted in the corner of the cabin with her head down, and muttered, "Please make it easier for the old lady to do it...... The slave family really has no money, so they made this decision......" The girl kept her head down beside her, but her expression was very indifferent.
Seeing that it was just two poor women, and they were not Jiangyang thieves, the men all dispersed, and Mrs. Lin was in charge. Only Xiao Guanfeng was not sensible, and still asked unrelentingly: "Say, who are you?" ”
Mrs. Lin ordered Ah Zi to pull Guanfeng to the side, and she stepped forward and bent over, and asked with a pleasant face, "Who are you?" Where are you going? ”
When the woman saw that Mrs. Lin was born as beautiful as a fairy, and she was so kind when she talked to herself, her heart relaxed a lot, and she spoke a lot more neatly: "The slave's name is Hui Niang, and this is the slave's daughter's name is Xiao'e." We are from Yangzhou, and this time we came to Texas to find relatives, but who knew that people didn't find it, but they used up their entanglements...... I had no choice but to go back to my hometown, but I had no money and couldn't afford the boat fare, so I had to ......" and hung his head with a red face.
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin had a little sympathy on her face. When she saw the mother and daughter being kicked out of the inn today, she was already a little emotional, and she didn't want these two people to end up on the boat of her own bag. Now that the boats are gone, it is impossible for them to go back. So she sighed and said to the woman, "We are also fated, this ship just passed through Yangzhou, so let's take you by the way." ”
The woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and thanked her for a long time. The girl kept her head down and didn't say a word. Mrs. Lin ordered someone to arrange a small room for them, and the mother and daughter went in with their burdens. Perhaps because they were ashamed to see people, the two stayed in the room after they went in and didn't come out.
Zhilan got on the boat, and after a gust of river breeze, she felt much refreshed. Although there is occasional swaying under the soles of your feet, it is better than bumping on a dirt road. As soon as the person was refreshed, his stomach began to growl. Thinking of the delicacies on the inn table at that time, Zhilan didn't feel a little regretful. So she turned around and planned to go back to the cabin to find some food, but saw Zhan Shaofeng standing in front of her.
"What? Something? "When you're hungry, you're not always in a good temper.
Zhan Shaofeng took out an oiled paper bag with one hand behind his back and said, "Miss, are you hungry?" ”
"Gah?" How does he know? Zhilan then remembered that her stomach was screaming just now, and it was impossible for him not to hear it, so she was a little embarrassed, and pointed to the oily paper bag and asked, "What is that?" ”
"Texas grilled chicken, it's still hot."
Zhilan's eyes lit up when she heard this. I've long heard the reputation of Texas grilled chicken, and I didn't have a good appetite when I was in the inn, I thought I couldn't eat it, but I didn't expect it to be there! So she was in a good mood, and she took three steps and two steps forward, took the oiled paper bag, and was about to open it. I heard Zhan Shaofeng say again: "Go in and eat, it's windy outside." ”
Zhilan happily took the grilled chicken and went in, and when she saw that there was something delicious, she immediately followed in. At this time, Lin Mubai was also in the cabin, and when he saw the two sisters and brothers bringing in the grilled chicken, he smiled and said, "Lan'er is finally a little energetic." ”
Nibbling on the grilled chicken beautifully, Zhilan said to her father: "This grilled chicken is so delicious, we will go to that store when we come back next year!" ”
Lin Mubai said: "This grilled chicken is not made in that store, but bought it when Shaofeng was at the dock just now, he said that after you are better, you will definitely want to eat this." ”
Zhilan was stunned when she heard this, looked outside, and saw Zhan Shaofeng standing alone outside the cabin, Zhilan couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, she couldn't imagine that this wood-like person's mind was so exquisite. Zhilan continued to nibble on the chicken wings and didn't say anything more.
