Volume 2 Strife Chapter 42 Warmth under the Cold
On this day, when the rain and snow were flying, someone drove the flying boat from the south, his patched clothes were not stained with the rain and snow, only to see the person sitting barefoot and cross-legged on the bow of the flying boat, looking at the small village not far ahead, he was Zhang Fan who came from the capital to find his way.
After looking around the small village, we are looking at the mountains in the distance and the big river behind us. Zhang Fan finally collected the boat not far from the village and walked towards the small village.
In the Qin Dynasty Tibetan Academy for two months, he found several cross-border teleportation arrays, the nearest one is here, a space under the ground.
It's just that there is a small village here at this time, which is strange at this time, but it is not surprising to think that the book has been based on it for a thousand years.
Although the mountain village is small, there are a lot of livelihoods, and this place is not far from the county seat, and it is close to the mountains and forests, so there are many literati and scholars here.
Just like Zhang Fan has not yet entered the small mountain village, he actually saw a wine flag, and the book was written on the Xinghua Village Tavern.
If you want to come to this mountain village, it is called Xinghua Village, it is just a northern mountainous area, but it has the name of a southern village, and it is also a wonder, but since you have a wine flag, you can go to see how the wine tastes here.
As soon as Zhang Fan walked to the front of the hotel, a junior second greeted him at the door: "Guest officer, please, our Xinghua Village wine is a famous wine within a radius of thousands of miles, since you are here, you might as well drink a few glasses." ”
Hearing Xiao Er's greeting, Zhang Fan stopped for the time being and walked into the shop. Now that he has arrived here, it is only a matter of time to find the cross-border teleportation array, and after waiting for a few years, it is not the time for this meal, and by the way, he can also find some information to reduce the time for himself to explore the cross-border teleportation array.
This shop is just a small shop, an ordinary three-room wooden hut, and there is a counter at the door. Zhang Fan found a free table and sat down, and Xiao Er came over and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
Zhang Fan said: "Aren't you a hotel here, first serve a pound of your good wine, and then serve two of your signature dishes here." ”
Xiao Er heard Zhang Fan's words and knew that he was not a bad money owner, although his clothes were full of patches, but he didn't see wet marks all over his body in the rain and snow, and he was barefoot in this cold weather, and his feet were not muddy, which was not something ordinary people could do, so as soon as Zhang Fan reported his request, Xiao Er immediately said: "Guest officer, wait a minute, good wine and good food will come immediately." With that, he ran to the back kitchen.
As a hotel junior, you also need good eyesight, and without a certain amount of eyesight, you can't live in the hotel for a long time.
After a while, Xiao Er came with a tray, on which was a wine jug, two side dishes, one was sauce beef, one was glutinous rice lotus root, and a large bowl of noodles. The dishes are one meat and one vegetable, one salty and one light, which complement each other. And the knife work that looks like a uniform thickness of the noodles is also good.
Xiao Er put down the things he was entrusting and said to Zhang Fan: "The guest officer uses it slowly." He walked to the door and continued to wait for pedestrians in order to solicit them.
Zhang Fan is not surprised to see this, and when he checks out later, he will ask Xiao Er, if there is anything strange here, but he is not in a hurry now.
Fill the glass with the jug and hold the glass to drink. I saw Xiao Er standing at the door walking to the back kitchen, and then a seven or eight-year-old boy, carrying a famous three or four-year-old girl, appeared at the door of the store, looked into the store, did not see the second child and the shopkeeper in the store, and saw Zhang Fan drinking alone, so he walked with difficulty on his back.
The little boy with a muddy face, wearing tattered single clothes and a little girl with only single clothes on his back, walked up to Zhang Fan and asked timidly, "Sir, can you give me something to eat?" And the little girl put her arms around the boy's neck and tilted her head to look at the man in tattered clothes like herself, wondering why he could sit here and eat.
Zhang Fan looked at the shivering figures of the two of them, and couldn't help but show pity, which reminded him of his two children who had been separated for more than three years, and when they were sent here by the cross-border teleportation array, they were also as old as the two children in front of them.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan asked, "Do your parents care about you?" ”
The little boy replied softly, "Mr. Hui, we don't have parents. ”
Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the parents of these two children should have died, so he said softly: "Come, sit down and eat, I invite you to eat." After speaking, he shouted again: "Little two, little two." ”
Xiao Er hurriedly ran over, walked up to him and apologized to Zhang Fan: "I'm sorry officer, I didn't pay attention to letting these two children disturb you, I'll let them leave." As he spoke, he pulled the little boy away.
Zhang Fan sighed and continued: "Let it go, I'll just let you go and get some hot food for these two children." In such weather, it is not good for them to only eat cold dishes. After speaking, he flicked it on the table, and immediately there was an extra silver tael on the table. Then he continued: "After getting food, you can go and buy two cotton clothes for these two children later, so that they don't freeze." After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Er to hurry up.
When Xiao Er picked up the silver tael, he said to Zhang Fan: "Thank you, the guest officer, for your kindness." Then he went to the back kitchen to prepare the food that Zhang Fan wanted. Zhang Fan took the bamboo for the little boy, and then asked the little girl, "Do you know how to use it?"
The little boy put the little girl on the bench and handed it to the little girl, so that she could eat something and watch it for herself.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan knew what the little boy meant, and handed another pair of bamboo clothes to the little boy and said: "Eat together, no need to see outside, do you see that I don't eat and dress like you, what are you afraid of." ”
The little boy relaxed his spirit, first picked up the bamboo bowl, brought it to the little girl, and fed her noodles.
The little girl takes a bite and lets the little boy take a bite, which is a very warm scene.
Just appearing in two cold winters, wearing tattered single clothes, makes people sigh.
Faced with this scene, Zhang Fan was a little distracted, so he just poured himself another glass of wine and drank it slowly.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought two kinds of hot food, Zhang Fan put the two hot foods in front of the two children, let them eat and drink, and then pulled the shopkeeper to sit down and asked about the two children.
The shopkeeper sat down, but did not talk about the two children so quickly, but asked, "I wonder where the guest officer came from?" ”
When Zhang Fan heard it, he knew what it meant. Don't you feel at ease with yourself, I'm afraid of hitting the bad idea of two children. Like Xiao Er just now, Xiao Er saw the two children come to the front of the hotel, and immediately went to the back kitchen, otherwise it might let them in.
However, the shopkeeper asked Zhang Fan and replied: "I am a person from the worship court of this dynasty, and this time I am going out of Beijing to do some things." After speaking, he flipped his wrist, took out the jade pendant of the worship courtyard, and showed it to the shopkeeper.
I don't know if the shopkeeper understands the jade pendant, but Zhang Fan's method of taking items from the storage ring is enough to deter the shopkeeper.
