Chapter 285: Hurry
After traveling for 18 days in a row, Xu Miao and several people arrived in Luyang County. The journey is not fast, and they have changed from five people at the beginning to six people. There was no way, when he was in Tingyang County, he saved a cook who sold himself to bury his father.
It just so happened that Xu Miao was also planning to open a restaurant, and this cook would come in handy. In the past eighteen days of getting along day and night, the wind did not accept it from the beginning, and now it is silently recognized. This can make Quannan anxious.
He didn't want to go to the south, when the wind was still with them. After all, an Oiran should go where he belongs. It doesn't matter if he's a handler or not. But he revealed his meaning to Xu Miao several times, but people didn't hear it, and he was really saddened.
The farther south and the warmer the climate, they mostly slept in the woods at night. Xu Miao was planning to stay at the guest house, but Quandong said that he wanted to save money, and the weather was not really not so cold, and he brought a lot of tarpaulins and quilts, so he followed their wishes.
The key point is that the further south you go, the more expensive the consumer price is. A meat bun can be sold for five copper plates, and the white flour steamed bun has the same price as it, and a bowl of porridge costs two cents, which is not cheap.
At noon that day, he entered Huyang County, and Xu Miao ordered to rest for an afternoon and go on the road tomorrow. Quan Dong and the others all nodded when they heard this, and began to look for an inn. There are now four people sitting in the carriage, Xu Miao looked at the wind, thought for a while, and said:
"After a while, you take Xiaolin to see if there are any mules for sale, buy one, and then you can ride the mule."
The horses of this dynasty are not allowed to be bought and sold privately, and the big green horses in the tofu workshop at home were still obtained with the help of the Qin family. Of course, the price is not cheap.
As soon as Quannan heard about buying mules outside, he laughed out loud directly. Hurricane rolled his eyes very reluctantly, looked at Xu Miao, and said:
"Girl, just Quannan's broken mouth, sooner or later it will be the source of trouble."
Xu Miao shrugged when he heard this, shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "It's not that serious, he just likes to mess with you." You ignore him, that's it. ”
Sennan heard the wind complaining outside, and deliberately hummed a little song. To be honest, I don't want to change anyone. Xu Miao looked at the two of them bickering, rolled her eyes, and said outside the car:
"Quannan, if you don't know how to restrain yourself, I'll let the wind change back into women's clothes and play husband and wife with you."
"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"
There was no sound outside the car, but a cough followed. Hurricane sat at the doorway and snorted coldly and said, "You deserve it." Midori looked at the two of them and pursed her lower lip amusedly. As for that Xiao Lin, although he didn't react, he betrayed him with a red face.
Not long after the farce, the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Quandong stretched out his hand and said:
"Childe, get out of the car."
Xu Miao held his hand, jumped out of the car, and looked at the inn in front of him. The further south you go, there are basically two-story buildings, and there are also three-story ones, but there are very few. Entering the inn, Izumi stepped forward to ask about the price of the room.
Sure enough, it is getting more and more expensive, the cheapest room is eight dollars of silver, a slightly better one or two dollars, and there is not even a price of one or two. Xu Miao pressed her throat, stepped forward, and asked:
"Can you go and see the room first?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then nodded busily and said, "Okay, you can." Anzi, take this son to see the room. ”
"Okay!" Xiao Eranzi came over, nodded and invited them to the second floor.
The eight-dollar room is very small, and it can't be smaller, at most five square meters. One or two dollars of silver is a bit better, but it is definitely not more than ten square meters. Xu Miao narrowed her eyes slightly, and then continued to look at the room.
Then there is two taels of silver a night, this room is only three, there is still a bed in it, but it is also a little bigger, there is no problem for two people. There were barrels, tables, chairs, and it was pretty good.
Xu Miao and the others returned to the counter, and Xiao Nizi personally went into battle to discuss the price, saying:
"Shopkeeper, let's book three rooms for two taels of silver, can you give some discounts?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then nodded busily and said, "Yes, yes, you won't charge money for hot water or something, you just need to use it." ”
What?!
The shopkeeper's words immediately made the six of them stunned. Dare to love this inn doesn't care about hot water, hot water costs money. Xu Miao also saw Quandong's appearance, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Since the shopkeeper is so bright, I can't pick any more, just these three rooms, tomorrow morning to take care of the breakfast of the six of us, so it's decided."
As soon as the words fell, Xu Miao directly put the silver in his hand on the counter, six taels of silver, no more, no less. The shopkeeper didn't want to take care of breakfast, but looking at their posture, he knew that if he didn't agree, they would have to leave, so he pondered for a while, nodded, and said:
"Okay, Ming'er will take care of your breakfast early in the morning, but this lunch and dinner ...... We can't do that. ”
"No problem." After Xu Miao finished speaking, she made an "OK" gesture, and then followed the shopkeeper to the second floor.
The three rooms are side by side, Xu Miao and Lu He live in the middle, Quandong and Quandong have one, and Hurricane has one with Xiaolin. After so many days of traveling, and it was a situation of sleeping in the open air, I finally had a room, and it was tacit that I should wash with hot water first.
As for lunch, no one was in a hurry.
Xu Miao and Lu He are both women, and there are not so many rules for getting along these days. Another key point is that people give a bucket of hot water for free. The two girls sat in the bucket and rubbed each other's backs.
Green Lotus is practicing kung fu, so he can accurately grasp the acupuncture points, and Xu Miao is also very comfortable.
"Girl, according to the current pace, it will take at least nearly twenty days to get to Nanyang County." Green Lotus whispered a reminder. There's no way, Quan Dong specially instructed her just now, so that she must remind Miss.
Xu Miao didn't squeak when she heard it, but nodded her head, indicating that she knew. Seeing this, Green Lotus continued to rub his back and did not speak again.
I took a hot bath comfortably, and all the fatigue of these days was washed away, and people suddenly felt refreshed. Lunch was bought by Hurricane and Kobayashi, and people will feel tired after taking a bath, plus Hurricane has to ride a mule by himself, so naturally he went out to buy it.
But who would have thought that when this goods came back, they would buy some steamed buns and steamed buns, and they didn't even have pickles, which couldn't help but make Xu Miao speechless. Quan Dong met with Quan Nan, but he didn't say anything, and took what belonged to them and left. Xu Miao hurriedly called out to them, then looked at the wind and said:
"Are you so saving? I want two dishes back. ”
Hurricane was a little speechless, pursed the corners of his mouth, and said, "Girl, I also want to buy two vegetables back, but how can I get them back." ”
Belch......
All right!
This place does not practice packing.
Xu Miao looked at Xiao Lin, thought for a while, and said, "You go and talk to Xiao Er, borrow the kitchen from them, and then Lu He goes out to buy some vegetables and comes back, stir-fry a few dishes." ”
"Girl, no, let's deal with it, and then have a good rest, and go to have a good meal at night, can't it?" Quandong persuaded loudly. When Storm and Green Lotus heard this, they both frowned slightly.
Xu Miao looked at their appearance, thought for a moment, and nodded. Then he took a steamed bun and nibbled on it, and waved them away. Green Lotus also came out, asked the store for a pot of tea, and then said to Xiaolin:
"I'll go out to buy vegetables, and when I come back later, you can fry a few vegetables for the girl to eat."
"Hey." Kobayashi nodded in response. Quan Nan on the side waved his hand and shook his head directly when he heard this, and said:
"No, the reason why the girl said that just now is because I'm afraid we won't be able to eat well."
"Yes, don't bother, eat well and rest, Ming'er has to hurry." Izumi said in agreement.
Brushing Wind looked at them again, frowned slightly, and said, "Then Miss Xu really thinks so much about her subordinates?" ”
"Humph!" Quan Nan rolled his eyelids fiercely and ignored him. Quan Dong still cared about some face, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"You've only been following you for a few days, and you'll know when the days get longer. Miss Xu often said: 'If you treat yourself as a person, you will always be a person.' If you think of yourself as a relative of the Lord's family, it will be a different taste. If you don't believe it, you can try it, it makes sense. ”
Throwing these words, Izumi and Izumi went back to the house. Xiao Lin, the wind and the green lotus, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say for a while. Hurricane frowned slightly, and said:
"Even if it means that, it can't be without rules, it's not a good thing to be too approachable."
Seeing this, Lu He hurriedly defended and said, "The girl said at that time, that there are not so many rules outside. ”
As soon as she defended herself, the wind that had something to say suddenly swallowed back. He looked at the green lotus, looked at it, and turned back to the room. Xiao Lin saluted her fists and followed in.
However, after Quan Dong's words were said today, it really made the three of them think deeply. As for what to do next, it's up to the three of them to do it themselves. Xiao Er came in with tea, watched Xu Miao nibble on steamed buns and was stunned for a moment, and then put down the teapot and went out.
Xu Miao finished eating the steamed bun and ate a meat bun, the lunch was settled, and the two eyelids began to fight, and the green lotus saw it and quickly put down the steamed bun in her hand, helped her up, and said:
"Girl, lie down and sleep for a while."
"Hmm." Xu Miao nodded, sat on the bed, kicked off her shoes and lay down, and said, "I'll sleep first, and after you finish eating, I'll lie down and sleep by myself." Again, there are not so many rules outside, if you don't rest well, if you are sick, you will have to drag people down when the time comes. ”
"Yes, the servant understands." After Lu He finished speaking, after covering her with the quilt, she turned back to the table to eat. I don't know if it's because of Quandong's words, or because of Xu Miao's attitude towards her, she actually made the green lotus who ate steamed buns raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and she was very happy.
I don't know, I thought she ate something good. It tastes so sweet and fragrant......
