A few people sat in the car and walked around for a day, even though the cheerful mood was still there, but they didn't have much energy, so they were silent all the way, or closed their eyes for a short rest.

It took less than a quarter of an hour to get from the town gate to the Zhenwei Restaurant in the center.

Several people got out of the car under the call of Brother Zhao, and Shopkeeper Zhang left them here for dinner and then returned.

Considering that everyone has lost the spirit of cooking, a few people did not shirk and went to the Tianzi room on the second floor with the shopkeeper.

"Xiao Zhao, let the kitchen serve the food first, you go and bring the pot of tea, you don't have to move the things in the car, you can send Xiao Qi and them back after eating in a while."

After entering the room, several people sat down in priority and priority, and the shopkeeper Zhang instructed Brother Zhao to let the kitchen serve the food and instructed him to follow up.

Brother Zhao was ordered to step back and go and bring the tea first.

A few of them didn't run out of water in the afternoon, so they were indeed a little thirsty. After the tea came up, they poured a glass of water and poured it into their stomachs first.

After drinking a few cups one after another, I put down the teacup, sat on the stool to rest, and slumped on the side one by one.

Xu is Brother Zhao ordered the back kitchen, so it didn't take long for the few of them to sit down, and the food came up.

The smell of rice filled the whole room, and several people immediately had a great appetite, and the shopkeeper beckoned everyone to start eating.

The dishes in the back kitchen are all the signature dishes of the restaurant, and the taste is not to say.

Therefore, under the influence of food and appetite, several people did not say a word and buried their heads in eating.

It took most of the noise to feel relieved.

Therefore, I was no longer in a hurry, and then chatted and ate with and without a match.

A few of them have never been particular about eating, not talking, sleeping silently, and there are not so many rules.

Xiang Tianqi thought of the things he saw at the temple fair today that Heping Town did not have, so he thought about it.

"Uncle Zhang, where did they come from?"

Xiang Tianqi propped his elbows on the table, pointed at the blue and white porcelain bowl in front of him with chopsticks in his hand, tilted his head and asked the shopkeeper Zhang who was eating.

Shopkeeper Zhang glanced at her, and waited for the food in her mouth to go down before speaking.

"It's the town of Surabaya, which is in the same state as Heping Town, and it takes about a month to get there by horse-drawn carriage from here."

After speaking, the shopkeeper glanced at her again, and said in his heart that this girl must be idle again.

"It's such a long journey in a month!"

Xiang Tianqi thought that it would only be a few days at most, and it would be half a month at most, so he wanted to hear such a surprising answer.

According to her previous understanding, this time is estimated to be more than enough distance from the village to the state!

"Doesn't it take so long to get from the village to the state?"

Xiang Tianqi couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.

Shopkeeper Zhang gave her a strange look.

"Who told you that it takes a month to get from the village to the state." This girl heard this nonsense from there.

"Forehead ......"

She certainly can't say that she learned about it from modern novels and television.

It seems that this novel and TV series are really harmful! If she can go online now, she will definitely post on the Internet or start a live broadcast, warning everyone not to believe the plots in those so-called TV series and novels! It's deadly!

(Xiang Tianqi children's boots, you don't see the beginning "This story is pure fiction, if there is any similarity, is it purely a coincidence")

Xiang Tianqi knew that she was making a joke, speaking of which, she hadn't learned much about the general situation of the country for so long, so it was better to ask the shopkeeper Zhang today, and it would be embarrassing to go out by herself in the future.

"That Uncle Zhang, you see that we haven't been out much, and we don't know much about the outside world, why don't you take the opportunity to tell us about it?"

Xiang Tianqi blinked his eyes, as if looking at the shopkeeper Zhang in the starlight.

That look seemed to say, say it quickly, look at the little eyes I was expecting, can you bear to disappoint me.

The other people stopped eating when Xiang Tianqi opened his mouth to ask, and they had eaten about the same, and not only Xiang Tianqi, they were also curious about where those things that looked good came from.

I heard Xiang Tianqi ask Shopkeeper Zhang about things outside, and he was also very interested, after all, it was a world that he had never been exposed to outside.

Besides, men have a kind of adventure mentality, and they are very curious, so several people looked at the shopkeeper Zhang and pricked up their ears and prepared to listen carefully.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at a few people, and knew in his heart that this small peace town would not be able to lock them up.

It's not that he is optimistic about all of them, but he is optimistic about Xiang Tianqi, as long as they keep following Xiang Tianqi, they will go out one day, and it won't be too long.

Just give them a wake-up call in advance, and roughly talk about the form of the world, so as not to go out and provoke anyone in the future, and it will be difficult to clean up when the time comes.

So the shopkeeper Zhang began to tell them what he knew at the dinner table.

"Heping Town, where we are located, belongs to the same Daguo Prefecture as the Surabaya Town just mentioned, and you already know this. Then let's talk about the geographical distribution of Liang first.

It has been almost 200 years since the founding of the Liang State, and it is now the third generation. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Liang State was divided into five continents, which were named after the five great families. Baili, Shangguan, Taishi, Gongsun, Xiahou.

These five continents have 12 prefectures, named after the 12 zodiac signs, and each of the 12 prefectures has four towns, and each town has a number of villages. And we're in Daguozhou.

Despite this, Heping Town is the worst town in the entire Daliang, not only in terms of people's livelihood but also in terms of location.

The month you just mentioned goes from village to state, which is about the same in other places. But this is not the case in the town of Peace. Because Peace Town is one of the most remote towns. ”

Several people listened to these things they had never understood, and the expressions on their faces were very complicated, with expectations for the future, curiosity about the unknown, and disappointment and sadness for their hometown.

If she could, everyone wanted her hometown to be rich, and what they wanted to hear from others was the praise and beauty of their hometown, not her imperfection.

"But I see that there are a lot of old things in town, and they look like they were glorious back then."

Xiang Tianqi was puzzled, according to the shopkeeper, Naping Town should have been very poor all the time, but now it seems that except for some material differences from other places, although she doesn't know what is like in other towns.

But Heping Town looks different from ordinary poor places.

Judging from the traces of its town, it must have had an enviable glorious history at the beginning, otherwise there would not have been those symbolic buildings.

She has been to many ancient ruins in modern times, and has seen many capitals and countries that have fallen lonely after the glory of the past dynasties, and the feeling is the same as what she felt in Heping Town.

So something must have happened to turn a once-bustling town into something that is now something that is forgotten and abandoned.

Xiang Tianqi truthfully said his guesses and doubts, but he didn't know how much this made the shopkeeper Zhang's heart ripple.

Is this an insight and observation that a person who has never been out and has always grown up in the countryside can have?

How did she see from the town's legacy that Peace Town was once extraordinary?

He Qiang, who was also from He's village with her, didn't recognize and suspect these things like her, so how did she know?

For the first time, the shopkeeper Zhang was suspicious of Xiang Tianqi in his heart, and he also had the mind to investigate the information he had obtained before.

I doubt my heart, but I don't show it on my face.

"Yes, it is true that Peace Town was not what it is now, and the ones you see are what was left over from the time when Peace Town was still famous."

Shopkeeper Zhang did agree with what Xiang Tianqi said, but he did not carefully explain to them the reason for Heping Town's fame and later downfall.

Xiang Tianqi also wanted to ask Shopkeeper Zhang about the history of Heping Town, but was diverted by Shopkeeper Zhang.

"Okay, that's about it, the rest will slowly understand when you have a chance in the future, now you can ask me if you are interested, such as the five great families or something."

While they were talking, Brother Zhao came up and removed the food, and brought a new pot of tea and some snacks.

A few people were eating snacks and drinking water, listening to the shopkeeper Zhang.

Sure enough, as soon as this topic came out, the attention of several people shifted to the five great families, and He Qiu couldn't help but ask first.

"How did these five great families come from, I heard that they fought the world with the Emperor Taishang, is this really the case?"

For power, there is nothing that men don't want to chase, and naturally they are also very looking up to and curious about these powerful people.

"Well, yes, at that time, the Emperor Taishang and Baili, Shangguan, Taishi, Xiahou, and Gongsun were sworn brothers, and the emperor of the previous dynasty was mediocre, and many people rebelled, and the Emperor Taishang was one of them.

Together with his five sworn brothers, he went from a soldier to a million-strong army to overthrow the rule of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the entire Liang State was divided into five states, and the surnames of the five major families were named to express the deep affection with several people, as well as gratitude for the great help at the beginning. ”

Shopkeeper Zhang's steady tone recounted the things that sounded like a shocking secret and a distant thing to the people of Heqiu.

And Xiang Tianqi drank tea and thought about the topic that the shopkeeper had deliberately put aside just now, as well as the memories that flashed in his eyes. If she hadn't been staring at Shopkeeper Zhang at that time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have found out.

What is it that makes the shopkeeper so secretive?

Isn't it just an incident of a town initiating and lagging behind, is there any other unusual thing and meaning in it?

Xiang Tianqi was silent, his mind was spinning, and he didn't hear the conversation between He Qiu and the others and Shopkeeper Zhang, and the look that Shopkeeper Zhang had when he looked at her with deep meaning and was as cold as winter.

And this caused her to encounter a series of incredible and tribulations in the future.

A few people chatted with the shopkeeper for a while, and saw that it was not early to get up and go back, I was tired after a day of shopping today, and I needed to rest early to recuperate, and tomorrow was another busy day.

Brother Zhao got the order of the shopkeeper, drove the carriage back with them, and after resting for a while, he was not so tired, so a few people let Brother Zhao drive the carriage away, and they followed all the way back behind them, and they also had the right to consume.
