Chapter 92: A Man with Familiar Eyes

"Where did they go?" Mr. Luo asked.

"The villagers don't know that the time has just passed, and the small ones can be traced all the way through the wheel prints of the carriages."

"Follow along."

"Okay, sir, sit tight, I'll go ahead and sit with the coachman." Scholar Road.

Mr. Luo waved at the scholar, the scholar jumped out of the carriage, the curtain was lowered, Mr. Luo's face was slightly gloomy, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess suddenly changed sex? How can she care about the people at the bottom and give them free clinics, does she want to go to Changqing Temple? That's the most important part of his arrangement!

But as the carriage traveled, Mr. Luo found that it was not the way to Changqing Temple, and he was slightly relieved.

An hour later, Qin Shuhuang and his entourage arrived in Guangping County.

Guangping County is only a small county town on the outskirts of Beijing, not big, there is only one street in the whole county, and the total area is less than half a mile.

It's already mid-afternoon at this time, the morning market has long been dispersed, and there are not many people coming and going in the county.

Next to him, Ruimiao asked, "Your Highness, can you find a place to rest?" ”

Qin Shuhuang bowed her head, and sat in the carriage for more than an hour at once, whether it was her or a few big maids, she was a little unbearable, and she really needed to rest for a while.

There is only one teahouse and one inn in the whole street of Anping County, and there are not many choices, and finally Qin Shuhuang settled in the Yunlai Inn in Anping County.

The location of Yunlai Inn is good, just in the middle of the street in Anping County, sitting by the window on the second floor of the inn, you can see most of the streets in Anping County.

The snacks and tea in the inn were mediocre, and Ruihe was afraid that Qin Shuhuang would not be used to drinking it, so he wanted to make Qin Shuhuang the tribute tea they brought.

Qin Shuhuang shook his head to stop, "No need, just these refreshments on the store." ”

In her previous life, she had eaten a lot of coarse tea and light rice, and even pig food, although these refreshments were not delicious, they were also clean and could fill their stomachs, and the people who came and went outside wanted to eat a little, and it had to be a New Year's holiday, so there was no need to waste food.

Ruihe nodded and stepped aside, Qin Shuhuang asked everyone to sit down and rest for a while, no need to serve her.

Seeing such a highness of the eldest princess, Rui Miao became more and more identified with her master, she picked up a piece of pastry on the table and took a bite, and then nodded, "This inn is not big, the dim sum is actually very good, it has a different flavor, you all try it quickly." ”

Rui He looked at Rui Miao with the eyes of not deceiving honest people, and Rui Miao pointed to the dim sum, "Taste, taste and know." ”

Several big maids took a piece of dim sum one after another and ate it, and slowly tasted it, and felt that the more they tasted it, the more fragrant it became, and there was a kind of farmhouse game that could not be replaced by exquisite dim sum in Beijing.

Qin Shuhuang took a sip of the teacup, his eyes lit up slightly, the entrance of the tea had a faint medicinal taste, slightly bitter, but sweet aftertaste, it was not ordinary tea, but psyllium tea, which was a kind of medicinal tea.

At this moment, the innkeeper came up with a freshly made snack.

"Madame, please use it, these are the ones I just made, and they taste better than the cold ones before." The innkeeper's skin is slightly dark, but she has a lump face and speaks sharply, which makes people look extremely pleasing.

Qin Shuhuang asked: "Shopkeeper, do you have tea here?" ”

The proprietress immediately became embarrassed, she knew that this lady with outstanding temperament was afraid that she had already drunk the tea that was not used in the store.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Madame is wise, but the small shop really can't afford to supply tea...... That's why I used psyllium to make tea......"

She can't afford to buy dim sum from other shops, so the dim sum provided by the inn to the guests is also made by the proprietress herself.

Qin Shuhuang was slightly surprised, could it be that an innkeeper was living so poorly?

Qin Shuhuang raised a faint smile, "It's okay, I'm just asking casually, nothing else, this psyllium tea can also be, it's good for the eyes and kidneys." ”

Hearing what the guest said, the proprietress breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Shuhuang saw that the proprietress was a hearty person, so he asked more about ordinary trivial matters.

A quarter of an hour later, the proprietress left with a grin, saying that if she needed anything, just call her, she was downstairs, and she would be there at once.

After talking to the proprietress, Qin Shuhuang thought deeply.

Although the proprietress said just now was messy, Qin Shuhuang got a lot of news from it.

There is a lot of farmland near Quang Binh County, but this year, it was dry from late spring to late summer, and the grain growth was not good.

In previous years, when the autumn harvest was approaching, as long as it was a little more solid, people would sell part of the old grain at a slightly lower price, ready to harvest new grain and eat new grain, but this year because of the dry weather, the new grain did not grow well, and no one produced the old grain.

The proprietress wants food to make dim sum, and at this time in previous years, she will buy some stale grain for the guests to make rice cakes, but this year she can't buy them even if she increases the price, and she can only improve the recipe for dim sum, and replace the rice cakes with yam and wheat bran cakes.

The rice cake is soft and glutinous and sticky, the old people and children like it, the proprietress relied on this pastry in previous years, and at this time in autumn can earn more, some people come to the inn not to live in the store, but to buy a few pieces of the proprietress's rice cake to the elderly and children at home.

But now it has been replaced by yam and wheat bran cake, although the taste is not bad, but the taste is not as good as rice cake.

On weekdays, the people who don't have much oil and water are even more reluctant to buy it, there is no rice cake soft, and the elderly and children don't like to eat it, so the boss's pastry business is naturally yellow.

Qin Shuhuang instructed Xie Cheng next to him, "Go to the grain shop on the street and inquire, the price of grain at this time this year, if you encounter other commonly used materials, ask about the price." ”

Xie Cheng should get down and leave quickly.

Just as Qin Shuhuang was looking at the street, a blue-curtained carriage slowly drove into view.

There are few carts on the streets of Guangping County, and the appearance of a horse-drawn carriage is particularly conspicuous.

The carriage also stopped in front of the inn, and the innkeeper saw that it was a male guest and stepped forward to greet him.

Soon, a teenage scholar jumped from where the coachman was sitting and lifted the curtain, and then a young man in linen and green clothes got out of the carriage and made a handsome and elegant gesture.

Qin Shuhuang frowned slightly, why did she suddenly feel that this man was very familiar?
