Chapter 16 A Bowl of Noodles (Second Update, Ask for Votes!) )
Leaving the post station with a very angry name, the group officially set off and entered Shuntianfu.
The territory of Great Chu is roughly the same as that of the early Ming Dynasty, since the founding Emperor Shengwu conquered the east and the west to determine the boundary monument, after more than 150 years, six generations of emperors, all strictly guarded the territory, vigorously supported the system of guards, and did not give up an inch of land.
Although the royal family is constantly fighting, and every emperor is stepping on the blood to ascend to the throne, but the foreign enemy has always been "those who offend my China, although they are far away, they will be punished!" But it is very paradoxical that it will never "cut the grass and eradicate the roots", "cut it all out", I don't know what the reason is!
The scope of Shuntianfu in Dachu is different from that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, if it is said that the capital Changle City contains the fourth ring and fifty miles of the suburbs of Beijing, then out of this range, it is Shuntianfu.
If there is a 10th or 20th ring in the capital, Shuntianfu is also regarded as an imperial city, just like modern people say that Langfang is the back garden of Beijing.
Just as modern highways and train tracks are sparsely populated, the "highways" of Dachu are not places that bypass the bustling population or fertile farmland.
Out of the capital, it seems that all of a sudden, from the crowded city into the countryside and mountains, even the air is much fresher.
One night, it is enough for Su Su to adjust her mentality, what the future is, it is all in her own hands, she can't achieve the same task as the Founding Shengwu Emperor and Ruan Shi Niang's Auxiliary Empress Dowager, but at least she has to live her life well, otherwise she won't have the face to say that she will also cross over!
The journey will take at least two months, and she has to have a plan.
Write a letter to the old lady, write a biography of the journey, find painting materials for the six girls, sort out the recipes they know, write a book of "Su's Private Dishes", find a birthday gift for the old lady, give Hong Sheng a few pairs of insoles, and see if there are a few couples in the accompanying room......
Su Su thought about it and felt that he would definitely not be bored along the way.
And they're not really in a hurry. Although travel in ancient times was really not comfortable, Su Su enjoyed it and was committed to turning the boring journey into a poetic life.
This trip first has to go out of Juyongguan, cross Badaling to Zhangjiakou, and then enter Shanxi, pass Datongfu, and enter Shaanxi.
Because now that Dachu and Tatar are in a truce, the border is relatively safe. They chose not to go inland, but to follow the Great Wall of the border, all the way west to Hami.
And along the way, you pass through a number of health stations, and because of Hong Sheng's identity, you can enter the health post station to rest. Large bandit gangs are the most well-informed, and they will definitely not move the army.
After all, everyone is very poor, and they can't find a reason to make extra money.
There is no diamond and no porcelain work, the dart master not only has to see and listen to the eight directions, but also does not hesitate to work hard when necessary.
But following Hong Sheng and them all the way, but in the past ten days, several dart masters of Yang Wei's dart bureau not only did not lose weight, but also weighed five or six pounds, and their faces were also shiny in the wind and sun, and several dart masters and executioners secretly loosened their belts a few times.
Naturally, everyone in this team feels the same way.
In the past few days, whenever it was time to eat, it was time to sleep in the wilderness, and Su Su would also ask people to cook and eat some hot food. Although several dart masters and soldiers felt in their hearts that "women are trouble" and "sister-in-law is too squeamish", they did not eat alone, and they were really not in a hurry, so naturally it was difficult to say anything.
In the morning, there are flower rolls, siu mai, and xiao long bao; There are rare wontons, rice porridge, and tofu brain.
At noon, it is good to only use rice and flatbread as marinated, and people can even rectify the Buddha jumping over the wall.
In the evening, the meat buns are enough, and you can eat a little wine.
Three meals in the morning, noon and evening, day by day, every day is not the same, the first few days, a kind of rough man is still troublesome, but after a few days, as soon as the point of eating, I can't help drooling, thinking about what to eat today.
On this day, I just passed Zhangjiakou and entered Shanxi, but it rained on the way, and I didn't rush to the post station in a hurry. There is no shop in front of the village, but fortunately, Hong Sheng and they also took this line when they came, and they knew that there was a land temple not far away, although it was dilapidated, but it was okay to shelter from the wind and rain.
"Let's work hard, there is a land temple in front, and we will spend the night there today."
Hong Sheng wore a raincoat made of rain cloth by Su Su, and rode a horse back and forth to say goodbye.
Susu sat in the carriage and was relieved to hear a burst of cheers.
This rain is not small, even if there is a rain cloth, the rain is also cold. The most taboo thing in this journey is to get sick, not to mention the delay in seeking medical advice, and not to mention the lack of good cultivation.
The horses were also tired, and they seemed to feel the joy of human beings, and they didn't need to shake the whip in the handlebar style, so they raised their speed, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they saw the land temple that Hong Sheng said.
This land temple is divided into two layers of halls, and it is also a place where incense was flourishing before. But now even the temple gate is gone, not to mention that the inside is also dilapidated.
The wooden statue of the god has lost a lot of lacquer color, and it looks very funny and pitiful. Fortunately, people at this time were superstitious, and no one dared to chop this idol as firewood.
Although the two-story hall is dilapidated, it is still clean, and it is often borrowed by travelers passing by.
Su Su has been in the carriage for so long, and she has gotten used to the feeling of numb legs and soreness after getting down.
Hong Sheng helped Su Su get out of the carriage, half-supported and half-hugged her to the apse, and asked someone to quickly enclose a corner with thick felt, clean up a place to lie down, and tell Su Su to rest first. After he settled Su Su, he went out to take care of everything.
Far away, Su Su's sensitive ears heard that Hong Sheng's brothers were turning on the mockery mode towards him, "There is no sex but no humanity", "I forget my old friend when I have a wife", "Daughter-in-law slave".
Hong Sheng scolded with a smile: ", whose daughter-in-law hurts, envy you and hurry up to find one!" There are times when I laugh at you. ”
Su Su smiled when he heard this.
At this time, Fan Dai came over with a bowl of steaming red dates and ginger soup, "Grandma, the slave maid has just cooked it, drink it while it's hot, go and get cold!" ”
Su Su took it and asked, "Do you have any?" Fan Dai smiled: "Don't worry, you know that grandma has a good heart, and the slave maid has boiled two big pots, only others have no red dates, only shredded ginger, and the uncle's friend has added brown sugar." ”
After hearing this, Su Su said helplessly: "Since I said that I have a good heart, can I still be stingy with that idea of brown sugar, and tell your mother, add more ginger and brown sugar, and pour a big bowl of each person." If you are sick, I shall not give you medicine? When the time comes, a little brown sugar will not be enough to ask for money! ”
Fan Dai spread her hands, "The slave and maid also said this to my mother, but she has always been the kind of cautious and cautious character, and said that the slave and maid made their own decisions without the master's instructions, and they should ask the master to beat my handboard!" ”
Su Su smiled this time and said, "She can't cause anything big with her temperament." But you are the big girl in front of me, if you can't do anything at all, you will lose my face! You two have your own good, I'm picking up treasures! ”
Su Su drank the ginger soup and felt that his body was hot all of a sudden. Fan Dai took the bowl and said, "The slave maid asked, what are you going to eat tonight?" We didn't bring much firewood, but some carbon. The firewood that I picked up can not burn much, but fortunately there is a small kitchen next to the apse, which has some dry firewood, which I think is prepared by the travelers passing by, so we use it first, and leave some rice grain when pouring. ”
Su Su had heard of such a rule, which was passed down from hunters, and there were caves or wooden huts in the mountains and forests where hunters spent the night.
Hunters who spend the night here usually leave something behind for emergency use. After that, it evolved into a conventional rule, but it was all about self-awareness.
Fan Dai asked what to eat, and Su Su suddenly remembered the famous knife-cut noodles in Shanxi, but there were no tools, and many people couldn't catch up with it.
"Let's eat hand-rolled noodles, make noodles, and even have hot rice and soup. But the noodles can't help but be hungry, just some dry food, who knows when the rain will stop, dry firewood to save some use. ”
Fan Dai took the bowl and went to the back kitchen to reply, and the ink, Qiqiao and Linglong also cleaned up the small space enclosed by thick felt.
lit eighteen bronze gilt lotus lamps, set up a small kang table, and even took out a palm-sized white jade incense burner from the cage, lit it, sprinkled a handful of lily incense, the fragrance spread, Su Su breathed a sigh of relief, laid out the letter with his own hands, and wrote a letter to the old lady.
Dear Old Madam,
Seeing the letter is like a ......
