Chapter 413: Mysterious note, heading to Salt Town
In fact, Xiaoyue went to bed early, on the one hand, because she had nothing to do, and on the other hand, because she lived alone in a strange and huge yard, she felt unconsciously scared.
At this moment, there was no sound outside the door, and she thought she had misheard, and was about to turn back to the house, when the knock sounded again.
At that moment, Xiao Yue was shocked and frightened, she didn't dare to open the door, she could only ask angrily: "Who is outside! ”
At this time, a note was handed through the crack under the door.
Xiao Yue picked it up, opened it and looked at it, and was stunned.
The note had a few small words written on it, "Tomorrow at noon, Xianze Pavilion." ”
She hurriedly opened the door, only to find it empty.
Satsuki took the note back to the house.
She read the note several times in front of the candle flame, and felt that there was something strange about it.
The note only wrote the time and place, and did not write who the note was addressed to and who wrote it.
She felt that if she rushed to the appointment, it might not be appropriate.
Xiao Yue thought about it, but she still couldn't think of a good countermeasure, but in the dead of night, she had to sleep peacefully, and wait until tomorrow to talk about anything.
After coming out of Yingjun City for two or three days, the strings in Xiaoyue's heart have not relaxed.
That night, she still slept restlessly.
As soon as the sky was a little light, Satsuki got up.
When she had freshened up, she put the strange note from the previous night in her bosom and went out to rent a carriage.
When we arrived at the bazaar, the genius was bright, but there were many more people than yesterday's deserted scene.
The bazaar is not big, but it is still very well stocked for buying and selling.
Xiaoyue walked to the place where the carriage was rented, negotiated the price with someone, chartered a car, and immediately went to Huangjia Town.
The groom who drove the car was a kind old man, and he drove steadily and quickly.
Xiao Yue felt that this person could still talk.
"Uncle, how far is it from Huangjia Town?"
"Hehe, Childe must be in time for lunch. ”
"Oh, that's not far away. Xiao Yue thought for a moment and then asked, "Uncle is a local, right?"
"Yes, when I was young, I used to drive a car, and I used to work in the Niu Yun Gang. ”
Seeing that this old man was talkative and enthusiastic, Xiao Yue couldn't help but feel happy, and then asked her what she wanted to know.
"Uncle, I've heard people say that there is a place called Xianze Pavilion here, it seems that the scenery is good, but I don't know how to get there. ”
"Hahaha. The old man laughed heartily, "That's not a way to see the scenery, it's a restaurant." ”
"Oh, that's it, hahaha. Xiao Yue also smiled, "Where is this Hamasawa Pavilion, are there many guests who patronize it?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "This Xianze Pavilion is not something that people like us can go, maybe the son can go." ”
"Why?
"That's where the owner of the Huang family entertains others, like the heads of the salt shops and the salt merchants who buy salt. ”
"Oh, that's right... Satsuki's heart was slightly **.
She was very worried that her whereabouts had been exposed, and the Huang family wanted to have a showdown with her.
After all, it is not clear whether the Lejia is friend or foe now, and if they tell the Huang family about their affairs in Taiping County, then her situation will be more difficult.
"This Xianze Pavilion is in Huangjia Town, if the son has that spare money, he can go and drink something. But people like us are afraid that they will be reluctant to go there to buy wine for the rest of their lives. ”
Xiao Yue smiled and said, "It's too unfortunate, no matter how hard you can't drink, I'm afraid that you won't be able to bear it even if you are rich." ”
"Hey, that's how things are in the world, you can't afford to build a good house, and people who drive a car can't afford to buy a good car. Childe, you have money but you can't drink. ”
Hearing him say this, Xiao Yue had a plan, "Uncle, it's better to go to Xianze Pavilion with me, what about me, just go to join in the fun, what about you, just get over the alcohol, how about it?"
"I can't do it, I can't do it. On this trip, I will charge you ten copper plates, I heard that a pot of wine in Xianze Pavilion costs one or two silver, how dare I let my son spend so much money for me. ”
"It's okay, I also have a restaurant at home, I just want to see if his wine is really delicious, but I don't know how to drink, so I can only ask the old man to help me try it." If even the old man thinks it tastes good, then I'll buy a jar when I leave. ”
"Hehe, Childe is really rich. The old man laughed and said, "I have met a noble person today." Then I, an old man, will be cheeky and follow my son to have a good meal. ”
Xiao Yue said with a smile: "You can't say that, this wine can't be drunk in vain, you have to tell me about its benefits after you drink it." ”
"That's fine. However, old man, I love to drink, but I am not greedy. Childe doesn't have to worry about returning in the afternoon. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
The old man Xu was in a good mood, and the speed of the car was also raised, and before noon, they came to Huangjia Town.
There seem to be more people on the streets of Huangjiazhen than in Taiping County.
Satsuki looked out of the car window and found that many of them were family members.
Perhaps to show kindness and gratitude, the old man took the initiative to introduce her to some local customs along the way.
The salt wells of the Huang family are basically near Huangjia Town, and there are several salt wells directly in the town.
So, the people who live here are either the workers who dig the wells, or the salt workers who dig the salt wells, or the workers who make salt.
The county town of Taiping, on the other hand, is mostly populated by some cattle workers.
The people here like to eat very spicy and heavy food, drink strong wine, and the people are simple.
When Satsuki arrived at Hamasawa Pavilion, she found that the food here was indeed much better than that of Yingjun Town.
"This is really a place where salt is produced, and the salt in the dish is not stingy at all. ”
Xiao Yue didn't know that those dishes were delicious, so Xiao Er casually served some of this restaurant's signature dishes, especially emphasizing that the best wine here must be served.
"But it's not, Gongzi is really right, the water here is salty, everyone said that this place used to be called Yanzhen, and then the Huang family came, so it was changed to Huangjia Town. "When the old man first entered the door, he was still a little restrained, but now that he has drunk a glass of wine, he has relaxed a lot.
However, Xiao Yue had been observing the entire restaurant, and she wanted to see if it was the note that the mysterious person handed to Cui Yongyuan.
Xianze Pavilion is not big, there are two floors, the decoration is actually very ordinary, but it seems to be more upscale in this small place of Huangjia Town.
Maybe it's because it's expensive, maybe it's not time for lunch.
When they entered the restaurant, they found that there were not many customers in the restaurant, except for a table of customers on the first floor, and the entire second floor was empty.
In order to get the best view, Satsuki chose to sit down and observe the restaurant on the second floor.
"Uncle, what do you think of this wine?" Xiao Yue asked absentmindedly as she looked downstairs.
