The next day, Zhao Guoer got up early, took eggs and noodles, spread two large stacks of egg pancakes with goose fat, boiled twenty eggs, and heated half of the goose broth specially left.

Two bowls of goose broth and two egg pancakes were served, even if it was Mu Guoer and Tian Funiang's morning food.

Subsequently, Zhao Guoer wrapped one more egg pancake with oiled paper, wrapped seven servings, and left the rest for Tian Yougen and the others. Each of the three people left an egg. The rest of Zhao Guo'er was all packed into a basket, and learned the habits of the people around him, took a clean cloth and covered the basket.

After packing up, Zhao Guoer carried the basket and shouted that she had washed up, and also brought a package containing cloth, scissors and needlework, ready to make the clothes for their mother and daughter to change clothes on the road: "Mother, let's go." ”

"I'll have to bring another crockpot of water. Otherwise, there may not be clean water to drink on the road. ”

After checking Zhao Guoer's basket, Tian Funiang went to the stove room to find a wide-mouthed crockpot with a lid that was not big or small, filled with water and explained to Zhao Guoer: "You don't often go out and don't know, if you want to drink saliva outside, you have to ask for a copper plate." Sometimes, even copper plates may not be able to buy water. ”

"If you hadn't been in a hurry, I would have been able to get you two bamboo tubes to carry with water, and you wouldn't have to bring that clumsy crockpot."

Even if it was not yet dawn, but Tian Yougen, who was used to getting up early, had already left the house to wash, and Tian Dayong said.

"I think it's better to carry a crockpot. If you want to drink hot water, you can use a clay pot to boil the water by picking up some firewood. ”

Zhao Guo'er said nonchalantly, while thinking in her heart that she really had to buy two cowhide water bladders to go out this time to Fucheng.

It is okay to carry the crockpot far away, but it is not suitable to carry it for a short distance.

It is not possible to bring a bamboo tube, and there is too little water to carry, so she and her mother have to have a cowhide water bladder.

"That's just as well."

Whether it was Tian Dayong, Tian Yougen, or Tian Xingsheng, they all listened to Zhao Guoer's words and nodded. Tian Xingsheng also said to Tian Dayong and Tian Yougen with great interest: "Dad, master, then when we go back to the county to work for a short time, we will also bring a clay pot to boil water to drink." ”

"What kind of day jobs are you going to go out to do in the future? I'm afraid that I have to hire someone to do the work at home. ”

Zhao Guo'er laughed when she heard this, and said to Tian Xingsheng: "Brother Hall, just wait, maybe the patriarch and grandfather will ask you to go to work today." ”

Even if Tian Changxing didn't mention it to himself at all, Zhao Guoer believed that the important people in the sugar workshop would definitely not fall on the side of the Tian family's grandfather.

At the beginning, even if there were not so many people, at least one of the three people of the Tian family's maternal grandfather had to be accounted for.

"To work? What kind of work? ”

Tian Xingsheng and Tian Dayong were both confused. Zhao Guoer smiled but did not answer. When he pulled Tian Funiang out of the courtyard door, he turned around and explained: "The morning food is in the stove room, don't forget to eat." ”

"Did the patriarch say that he would find a prosperous one?" When walking towards the entrance of the village, Tian Funiang asked Zhao Guoer.

"He didn't say, I guess."

By the moonlight, Zhao Guoer followed Tian Funiang with one foot deep and one foot shallow. They first had to go to the entrance of the village to take an ox cart with a fare of one penny per person to the town, and then rent a mule cart from the town's car dealer to go to the city.

From Tianjia Village to the town, it is much closer than to the county seat, and the ox cart only needs to walk for half an hour. It is also a place frequented by people from nearby villages.

It is said that both grain and cloth are one to two percent more expensive than the county seat. However, if it is a bamboo basket, bamboo basket or wild object, the price will be much lower than that of the county.

But even so, in order to save time and the round-trip cost of six yuan per person, many people have never been to the county seat in their lives.

Not to mention that the journey is even more far, you have to spend 80 copper plates a day, and a trip back and forth for at least two days, which is a full 160 copper plates, and you can only go to Fucheng by renting a mule cart.

Finally arrived at the entrance of the village, successfully got on the ox cart, and heard that Tian Funiang and Zhao Guoer were going to Fucheng, many people couldn't help but talk and dissuaded the two of them.

"Fucheng is just more lively, with more people. That thing can be cheaper, can it be cheaper than the fare? ”

"That is, it takes at least two days to go to Fucheng. It's not just the fare that costs you, you also have to stay at the guest house. That's sleeping in a chase shop, and I heard that a person has to pay ten big bucks a night. ”

"Not only that, but it also costs money to eat and drink Lazar."

……

Tian Funiang: "......"

Zhao Guoer: "......"

The two looked at each other for a while, and Tian Funiang, who accidentally said that she leaked her mouth, regretted it in her heart, afraid that the more she said, the more wrong she became, and then she was not careful, and told the real purpose of the two of them going to Fucheng, so what if it caused trouble?

So the mother and daughter simply shut up and didn't say much, smiled and responded vaguely, just listening to the gossip of others, and finally got to the town to breathe a sigh of relief, Tian Funiang sighed: "It seems that my mouth is still not strict enough, and I have to change it next time." ”

"You didn't say anything important, what are you afraid of?"

Zhao Guo'er said disapprerovingly: "When we come back, they will also know that we have gone to Fucheng." Those who are nosy will come up to you and say things like this. We're just listening to these words in advance. ”

Saying that, Zhao Guoer didn't bother to wander around this only one main street, which was obviously much smaller than the county seat. There are fewer shops, and when you look inside from the outside, the things on display inside are lackluster in the town.

It's true, it doesn't matter what world it is. The more remote the place, the worse and more expensive the things for daily use, clothes and fabrics.

Thinking like this, she pulled Tian Funiang without asking anyone, and soon found the carriage and horse shop.

After paying the deposit and two days' fare, the mother and daughter soon got into a mule cart that was simple but finally had a carriage, and a coachman who was only in his early fifties could already clearly see the old state of driving in the direction of Fucheng.

"Uncle, how many hours do we have to walk on the way to Fucheng?"

Feeling that the speed of the mule cart was very fast, much faster than the car driven by Tian Changxing before, and it was more stable, Zhao Guoer lifted the curtain and asked the driver while looking at the scenery outside.

"If it's right, four or five hours will be enough."

The coachman replied while skillfully erecting the car: "This road is what we are used to driving, and it is very safe, you can rest assured." ”

It's not uneasy.

Zhao Guo'er calculated in her heart, four or five hours...... That's eight or nine hours.

They went out at about five o'clock in the morning and went to town for half an hour, or an hour. Rent a car again and deduct the fragmented time. It should have been less than seven o'clock when they set off from town.

In other words, they won't be able to get to Fucheng until three or four o'clock in the afternoon?

Whether it is a town or a county seat, there is a curfew in the capital city.

So after arriving in Fucheng, they first had to find an inn to live in.

Well, it's not that they can't do anything, they can inquire about the situation of the major households in the city first? Generally, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is easy to find out from the guys in the inn or teahouse.

After thinking about it, Zhao Guoer settled down, and chatted with the coachman for a few words, and then inquired, what are the affordable inns with a good reputation in Guofu City, and she is also tired of seeing the almost identical scenery on the road, so she put down the curtain to see Tian Funiang, who has taken out needles, threads and fabrics, to sew and make clothes. Looking at it, Zhao Guoer unconsciously leaned on the seat and dozed off.

……

"You are clearly blackmailing."
