While waiting for the food to be served, I listened to the chatter of the people around me, because there were so many people, even if everyone lowered their voices, it was a little noisy.

There is nothing new in the content, either touting each other, or complaining about the beginning.

I don't know if it was suppressed by the government, and the matter of the Guan family in Liquan County didn't seem to have been passed on, otherwise it would be a big deal, and it would be impossible for no one to talk about it.

"Ugly, what's going on in Liquan County? Did you find anything in the work? ”

After a while, Chou Chou replied: "I was just arranging a few bears to divide labor, I have been watching, there are already some suspicions over there, but I didn't find any clues about the beast entering and leaving the county, so I fell into a stalemate."

I would like to give them some hints, but Xiong San is now in my space, and now he is our bear, and I can't hand it over and take the blame for the real murderer. ”

Qian Yan nodded in her heart, indeed, the real murderer doesn't know where he is, hand over the bear, the bear took all the guilt, but let the real murderer get away with it.

"Did anyone go back to the tiger's yard yesterday? You can't feed it every other day, the tiger must not go crazy with hunger. ”

Ugly: "Not yet, it may be fed once a day, we found it in the evening yesterday, it was not long after it was fed, it should be someone coming in the afternoon, I will keep an eye on it, don't forget to buy seeds." ”

Qian Yan patted her head lightly, and she said that she seemed to have forgotten something, it turned out that she forgot to buy seeds, and it seemed that she had to go to Nancheng after eating.

When the food was served, she tasted everything, the stewed mutton was soft and fragrant, and a little spicy, it should be the taste of pepper, and the pepper should not have been passed over.

The mutton soup with pepper is also more delicious, and the whole body is warm when you drink it.

The specialty dishes in the store are more distinctive, there are sweet and sour ones, as well as sour and salty ones, well, the main one is inseparable from sour.

While eating, let the ugly and ugly be collected in the space, and it didn't take long to finish eating, don't look at the variety of points, the amount is really not as big as other places, at least not as affordable as the restaurant in Qinzhou.

I packed two servings of good food, and just when the time for packing the dishes was gone, I left with the food box.

I found a place where no one was there to put the ugly into the space, and went to Nancheng again.

I don't know if the stall owners have all gone home for dinner, and the streets are much deserted, with only a few people.

She went directly to the shop that sold grain, and after asking, she learned that most of the vegetable seeds were kept by the farmers themselves, and they rarely bought them.

Qian Yan was a little dumbfounded, so wouldn't they be able to plant it.

The owner of the grain shop saw that she was a little lost and a little unbearable, so he said to her: "My wife usually likes to plant some vegetables in the backyard, and she should have left some seeds.

However, even if there are seeds, they will not be planted until next spring, so I can't guarantee whether they will emerge or not. ”

Qian Yan looked at the boss in surprise, this is really another village.

"Great, I want to try planting in a greenhouse, I don't have to wait until next spring, even if I can't get out, it doesn't matter, I'll just try."

It should be similar to indoor planting in the space, as long as a few seeds can germinate, you can also keep your own seeds when the time comes.

The boss really wanted it, so she called the guy, asked him to watch the shop, and went to the backyard by himself.

After a while, he returned, followed by an old woman.

Of course, that is, looking old, most of the ancient people looked old, and it is estimated that they will not be more than fifty years old when they look at this face.

The woman handed a small cloth bag to Tilt Yan and said, "There are several of them, and I have brought you some of the seeds I have kept."

There are alfalfa, green onions, garlic, coriander, cowpeas, cucumbers, peas, eggplant, pepper, and I have leek roots buried in the snow behind me, and I can dig some for you if you want. ”

The more she listened, the brighter her eyes became, she didn't expect there to be so many kinds, she thought it would be great to have three or four.

She knew that there were many types of dishes in ancient times, such as the previous summer when she saw a lot of types on the dining table of the Xue family in Xingtang Mansion, these dishes were introduced to the Central Plains during the Qin and Han dynasties, but she didn't expect that the proprietress of this grain shop would have such a complete range.

"That's great, boss, I'll take all of this, see how much money I'm going to give you?"

The proprietress shook her head and said, "I don't need to give money, this is all kept by me, not sold in the shop, it's hard to set the price......"

Qian Yan hurriedly said: "I can't take yours for nothing, let's meet in Pingshui, how embarrassing is this......"

The proprietress raised her hand to interrupt her, "Don't worry, girl, although I don't want money, I didn't give it to you for nothing, I want to ask the girl how to grow vegetables in the greenhouse." ”

"Uh...... That's it......" Qian Yan was speechless for a while, but she didn't expect that she made up a reason randomly, and people were serious.

"Isn't it inconvenient to disclose? Also, this should be a family secret skill, but I was abrupt. ”

Qian Yan hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, it's not a secret, it's just troublesome." ”

Then she began to try to recall the steps of her grandmother to grow vegetables in the greenhouse in the winter.

"First of all, there should be an empty room, with walls of fire in it, and windows on both sides for ventilation, and then some fertile soil to go in......"

The woman listened carefully, and the owner of the grain store also took out a pen and paper to record it.

By the time she finished telling what she knew, the old couple was already looking at her with admiration.

"Girl, talented, why worry about not being able to grow this vegetable like this, there is a fire wall in the room behind my house, you can directly vacate one to try, if you can really grow it, you must thank the girl."

Tilt Yan waved her hand, "That's not necessary, just take it as a seed to thank the boss lady, my family is in Youzhou, and I will leave tomorrow, and I can only see you again in the future." ”

"That's a pity, I still want to discuss with the girl in the future, the girl waits, I'll dig some leek roots for you, bring some soil and put it in the basket, it should be able to bring it to Youzhou."

"Then thank you again hostess."

"It doesn't have to be so polite......"

When she came out of the grain shop, she not only got a small bag of seeds, but also carried a small basket with leek roots and soil.

A short distance forward is an alley, turn into the alley ugly ugly and put the small basket in, the seeds went out as soon as they were harvested, it and a few bears are waiting to be planted in it.

At this point, I have basically bought all the things I want to buy today, and I am not in a hurry about dry food or anything, I can buy it in the city tomorrow, and I just need to buy some before leaving.

In fact, there is still a lot of stock in the space, there is no need to buy too much, she just habitually stores more.

At this time, it was just after noon, and she was not in a hurry to go back, so she rode her horse to Dongcheng again, and found the largest teahouse there to sit in.

I ordered tea and some snacks like peanuts and melon seeds, and wanted to see if I could hear anything here.

Of course, it's not for the matter of the Guan family in Liquan County, it has nothing to do with her, that is, to listen to the excitement, but she doesn't urgently want to know the follow-up, after all, there are ugly stares, and you can hear it sooner or later.

She just wanted to see if there was any coming from the southeast, and to hear if there was any disaster over there.

After all, if she has to go over there, if she suffers a disaster, and when she rushes to meet a homeless person or something, it will also have an impact, even if she wants to hide, she can't dodge, like this snowy day, she can't drill into the mountains.

Not to mention that the carriage can't get in, and you can't freeze to death while riding a horse, this kind of weather can only take the official road.

It must not be like when I was with the Yang family before, it was summer, the vegetation in the mountains was dense, there were many animals, water sources were easy to find, and there was no shortage of food and drink.

Although there are some snakes, insects, rats and ants, but they can be overcome, at least you can lie on the ground and sleep, once it snows in this winter, it is easy to get lost in the mountains, not to mention, it is easy to be trapped inside.

It's better to walk on the official road, at least there are many villages on the side of the official road, and there will be towns every other distance, so don't be afraid of no supplies.

Qian Yan sat in the teahouse for an afternoon, swallowing melon seeds and knocking her tongue unconscious, and finally heard some news as expected.

It was a table of people who came in at about three o'clock, and among them was a merchant who had just returned from the south, and several other people were supposed to be his friends, who told him a lot of what he had seen and heard over there and on the road, and asked a few people to help him collect some medicinal herbs.

Roughly speaking, the weather in the south is also unusually cold, not so bad as to snow, but in some places it has frozen rain in advance, not to mention ice on the trees, and the road surface is very slippery.

Moreover, the walls of the houses in the south are not as thick as those in the north, they are all thinner, and many of the windows are leaky, although they do not freeze to death, but they have a lot of frostbite.

He asked these people to find a way to collect more medicinal materials, just to make a lot of money by going over there.

After hearing this, Qian Yan was a little relieved, at least she didn't encounter a snow disaster like here, so it was okay.

Hearing the information she wanted, she was ready to go home, the bench in this teahouse was very hard, and her ass was numb.

After settling the bill, he stood up and got used to it for a while before going out and riding the big bear away.

When I returned to Fang's house, it was just past four o'clock, except for Hui Niang and a few subordinates, the father and son of the Fang family had not come back.

Qian Yan said hello to Hui Niang, and went back to the room to wash up first, after all, she had been running outside for a day, and her body was very dirty.

After washing, I returned to the hall, sat on the kang and chatted with Hui Niang about the news she heard in the teahouse, after all, she went out for a day and came back empty-handed, and there was no other person she knew, something was not quite right.

So she said that she went to the teahouse to listen to the news, which is also in the past.

In the evening, when the three of the Fang family's father and son came back to eat together, after chatting for a while, Qian Yan took the opportunity to propose that she would leave tomorrow.

The father and son of the Fang family knew that she was in a hurry to rush back to Youzhou, so they didn't keep her, but just asked her if she needed anything, and they could help prepare.

Of course there is none, she is ready to prepare, and she can leave directly.

Hui Niang proposed to make her some dry food early tomorrow morning and take it to eat on the road, but she was rejected by Qian Yan.

"You don't need to prepare deliberately, I'll just buy some in the city before I leave tomorrow, and it will be cold soon after preparing on this cold day, and I can't eat fresh anyway, just buy more ready-made cakes, and eat them hot on the road, no need to bother."

Hui Niang persuaded again, but when she saw that Qian Yan refused repeatedly, she didn't insist anymore.

The craftsmanship of her and the maid is not very good, and the dry food she makes is definitely not as good as the ones who specialize in selling baked cakes and steamed buns outside, after all, people make a living from this, and they are much better than them in terms of taste and appearance.

Qian Yan hugged the child and hung a jade lock that she had carved yesterday around his neck, "I found someone to carve this, so it should be regarded as a thought, and the little guy in the province will not remember me in the future." ”

After all, she also raised all the way, and she gave Zhang Chunhua's children jade pendants, so she couldn't raise them all the way, but she didn't say anything.

This one isn't an ordinary jade, is it? It is a low-grade spirit stone that has been consumed and almost empty, and it looks more moist than ordinary jade, and it is good for the body after wearing it for a long time.

This is in the shape of a peace lock, surrounded by moire, engraved with a long life of 100 years old on one side, and engraved with the child's name on the other, Fang Zhicheng.

Several members of the Fang family only expressed their gratitude to Qian Yan, and did not refuse, after all, this look was specially made for children.

Qian Yan hugged the little guy and teased for a while, then said goodbye to everyone and went back to the room, she will leave early tomorrow morning, and the child must not have gotten up at that time, which is the last time she will see her.

At least after that, it is estimated that there will be no chance to see you again, although I am a little reluctant, but I also know that there is no banquet in the world.

Along the way, after several separations, she seems to have become a little used to it, knowing that she will have to leave sooner or later, although she is sincere when she intersects with people, she will not go too deep, there is some distance, leaving some space for both parties.

After returning to the room, she didn't have time to immerse herself in the sorrow of the upcoming parting, so she heard the ugly say: "Someone from the tiger's side went, but there was no progress, only a subordinate went to the next person, and he was a mute, he should have been poisoned and dumb, he could hear the voice, but he couldn't speak."

He went to put meat and water for the tigers, and he burned the fire wall in the house and left. ”

Qian Yan nodded, thinking that it was normal, if there was no fire in the house, it was estimated that the water would freeze in a short time, and the tiger would die of thirst if it was not frozen to death.

"It seems that the other party is quite careful, and the murderer should not be found for a while, and it is estimated that he can only know who it is when the other party wants to the empty tiger."

Of course, I can't be sure that this is the murderer's place, and now I just think that the appearance of the tiger is a little suspicious, and I can't be 100% sure that it is related to the man who controls the beast.

It may also be raised by someone with strange hobbies, maybe it is afraid that staying at home will scare the family, so it may be kept alone in a yard.
