When they were still wondering, the attendants who had already salivated had a bowl of two steamed buns and sat on the table to eat happily, this freshly cooked lamb chop meat was the most tender, because it was handled properly, and the smell of mutton that most people couldn't accept was gone.

Coupled with the various side dishes cut into large pieces, it adds a lot of aroma to this pot of mutton, and the shopkeeper and a few small servants are watching the drooling next to him, compared with the mutton he usually eats, it is simply eating!

It's not comparable at all!

If you look at the color of the soup base, look at the soft meat stewed by them, and you can almost hear the soup splashing between your lips and teeth when you bite it, how sweet and delicious it should be?

And the big pieces of vegetables, the potatoes that crumble when you bite into them... The shopkeeper clutched his rumbling stomach and felt his throat and mouth dry a little.

Qi Ling saw their embarrassment, and even if he let Qingyu hold a large bowl and send it, this could make the shopkeeper's excitement incoherent.

"It's... This is for us? Are you sure? ”

Qingyu smiled and nodded: "This is what my girl meant, anyway, I can't finish it after doing so much, the shopkeeper hasn't eaten dinner yet, it's better to try my girl's craftsmanship." ”

The shopkeeper's excited whole person was not good, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you!" I don't have to pay for the meal this time, the girl is really kind-hearted! ”

And Qi Ling is tasting the leg of mutton that he opened a small stove at the moment, and the objects of this sharing are naturally Gu Jinfeng and Qingyu, but fortunately, the leg of mutton is big enough, and it is more than enough for three people.

The meat quality of the leg of mutton is more tender than that of the lamb chops, and the fat layer is evenly distributed for grilling, which is very suitable, the skin has a crispy taste, and the meat inside does not know if it is her illusion, it always feels sweeter than the mutton eaten in Daming, and the smell of this sheep is lighter than those bred in Daming.

Even people who don't eat mutton can accept it.

This leg of lamb is grilled just right, dipped in a little dipping sauce made from chili powder and peanuts, and the taste is even better!

Qi Ling ate a few pieces of lamb leg and a few potato stews, and his stomach was full, and there was a little more warmth on his body.

In order to thank Qi Ling's shopkeeper, he also sent Dacheng's specialty - goat milk cream.

It is said that after boiling goat's milk, a sweet grass juice lifted from the grass leaves is added, and after half an hour, it will solidify into a lump by itself, and the taste is sweet and fragrant, and the sweetness of the grass juice is combined with the milky aroma is an unexpected match.

Qi Ling dug a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and after tasting this wonderful taste, he hurriedly thanked: "It's delicious!" Thank you shopkeeper! ”

"This is just the most common snack in Dacheng, and the mutton you give tastes amazing! I have lived in Dacheng since I was a child, and I have been there a few times when I had trade with Daming before, and I have never eaten such delicious mutton......"

The shopkeeper said with a look of embarrassment: "Now because of this war, the border city is no longer open to trade circulation. ”

Gu Jinfeng asked, "According to what you mean, in fact, the people don't want to fight?" ”

"Naturally I don't want to, although this Daming is sometimes a little harsh, but at least there is no trade, I still remember the beginning of the period, there were a lot of merchants coming and going here, and I basically couldn't live in this small shop, where was this street so deserted at that time, there were people selling everywhere, not to mention how lively."

The shopkeeper sighed: "But since the king listened to the advice of his courtiers and insisted on starting a war, this place has begun to become deserted, and they have collected strong men everywhere, and if they don't pay it, they will be killed directly on the spot, which is really terrifying!" ”

Qi Ling was stunned, is there such a drama in this?

Gu Jinfeng pondered for a while and then asked, "I remember that King Dacheng seems to have many sons?" ”

"Yes, in addition to His Royal Highness Allatsa, who has just been established as the crown prince, there are four royal disciples and many princesses, I heard that ah......"

The shopkeeper's voice was lowered a little: "This war with the Ming Dynasty was actually launched by the four princes, and he couldn't see that the king was the crown prince, so he bribed the courtiers to deliberately provoke it!" ”

"You said that it is not our people who suffer from the fighting, the original population of Dacheng is not much, and now the defeat has shrunk by more than half, and those who came back alive are okay, those who died on the battlefield... Hey, it's all tears! ”

This shopkeeper has opened a hotel in Dacheng for a few years, and he knows a lot of news, such as the epidemic that is now spreading in Dacheng.

"Hey, look at my brain!" The shopkeeper was a little annoyed, but he still said seriously: "You outsiders may not know very well, there has been a very serious epidemic in Chengdu recently, and several people have died in only a few days since the onset of the disease!" ”

Qi Ling suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of epidemic is it?" ”

"I won't tell you, I just listened to the neighbors, the sick person first began to have weakness and dizziness in the limbs, and then began to have a high fever, at first I thought it was an ordinary wind chill, compared to the rapid change of the weather in Dacheng, some people with weak bodies will inevitably get sick, but after taking a lot of medicine, it still does not improve, and it is getting more and more serious, and the doctor realized that something is wrong."

Physician Wang, who was resting on the side, nodded thoughtfully and asked, "In addition to the high fever, are there any other symptoms?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I don't know much about this, I heard that this epidemic is contagious, where do I dare to approach?" By the way, I haven't asked you where you're from? ”

Qi Ling smiled slightly: "We are from Daming." ”

"Oh, Da Ming." The shopkeeper nodded, but suddenly his face froze, and he raised his face in surprise: "You said... From Daming? ”

"Well, it's been quite hard to trek through mountains and rivers this way."

The shopkeeper stammered, "But... But isn't this border city of the Ming Dynasty no longer open to traders to trade? How did you get here? ”

Qi Ling smiled: "Who let us have a relationship, but I want to ask, if Daming is willing to continue to trade with Dacheng in the future, will you agree?" ”

"How can you agree to this! Look at what has become of the capital now, if it can really be restored to the way it was before, I raise my hands in favor! ”

Qi Ling pursed his lips and snickered, since this shopkeeper thinks like this, then the people around him should be inseparable, but the mediocrity of the royal family above will cause the relationship with Daming to get worse and worse, if you can take advantage of the people's heart, you must be able to make Gu Jinfeng's plan go to the next level.

After a day's journey, Qi Ling was also tired, Qingyu went upstairs to make a bed and let the little maid boil some hot water and send it up for her to take a simple bath.

After washing, it was called a comfortable body, and the house had already been placed with a charcoal basin Even though it was cold and windy outside, but the inside of the house was as warm as ever, Qi Ling lay on the soft mattress with a full face, and fell asleep in a daze before waiting for a while.

In her sleep, she heard a noisy sound from downstairs, Qingyu suddenly opened her eyes, and quickly went out to look at the clothes on the bed, and found that there were a lot of officers and soldiers in the originally small hotel.

Gu Jinfeng, who was in the next room, naturally heard the voice, put on his clothes and came out to check the situation, and couldn't help frowning after seeing the officers and soldiers.
