Chapter 151: Fucheng
Although the second courtyard is good, this town is too small, and it is near the sea, and it is full of seafood.
Therefore, Wen Xian thinks that high-end seafood may be priceless here.
She frowned and said, "Salmon and those prawns, if they are sold at a high price, can anyone eat them here?" ”
She didn't believe that so many people would pay a lot of money to eat it because it was fresh.
After all, there aren't many rich people in town. Maybe you won't be able to eat even half a piece of salmon.
"Not much, really." Zhu Qingdao, "If the eldest prince is willing, we might as well go directly to Fucheng early tomorrow morning."
From the town to the capital city, if you hurry up, you can get there in just one day. If you are tired on the way, you can rest in the prefecture for one night. ”
Guanhai Town, just listen to the name, you know that it is very close to Guanping Mansion. So, if you hurry up, you can get there in one day.
Then again, Guanping Mansion is not big, and the farthest town to Fucheng only takes two days and nights.
However, most people are poor and do not have horse-drawn carts, so they can only use ox carts or donkey carts to get around.
What's more, it's only on foot. So, it's going to be slower.
Zhu Qing saw that Wen Xian was still thinking, and continued: "Don't worry, the eldest prince, these foods are all provided by the eldest prince, and they are all divided according to the previous agreement. ”
He thought that Wen Xian felt that there was no money to take, and it was not cost-effective to run. I explained it first, so that she could rest assured.
In fact, Wen Xian was indeed calculating whether the risks and benefits of going to Fucheng were proportional.
To be realistic, if you go to Fucheng, it is too far away from Sun Island, and they don't know if they are sold.
But salmon and other high-end and rare seafood really have to be sold for money.
You have to make a name for yourself before you can continue to make a lot of money in the future.
Thinking of the silver that might be put into her purse, she raised her eyes and said, "Young Master Qing knows, I'm short of money." The others are not in a hurry, but the salmon and prawns brought this time, I want to settle the bill now. ”
With money, whether it is to buy food or inquire about news, you will have confidence.
"Okay, no problem." Zhu Qing agreed, "Just do what the eldest prince says." ”
……
After saying that they would leave early tomorrow morning, Wen Xian and Xia Zhi went back to their rooms. Wait for the next morning, and set off for Fucheng.
As for teaching the chef to cook, he will teach it after he returns from Fucheng.
After packing up and lying on the bed, Xia Zhi opened his mouth to talk to Wen Xian about the Sun Pavilion, but was interrupted by Wen Xian.
The partition wall has ears, this is someone else's territory, or wait until you go back to elaborate.
Xia Zhi had no choice but to give up, she could actually see that Madame didn't really want to participate in these things.
That's it, Madame doesn't want to, and she doesn't want to force Madame.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, before the restaurant opened, Zhu Qing took Wen Xian and a few people to leave quietly from the back door.
Zhu Qing arranged two carriages, one for Wen Xian and Xia Zhi to sit on, and Zhu San to drive.
The other car sat on Zhu Qing, as well as a large box full of ice cubes and salmon and shrimp, and Zhu Wu drove.
Although there was a lot of ice in the box, it was also very hot.
Therefore, on the way to Fucheng, it was really fast and non-stop.
I only stopped at the county for a meal on the way to replenish the ice.
Wen Xian took the carriage for the first time, and she walked on a dirt road again. The bumped didn't even look carefully at the county seat, so he directly entered Zhu Qing's courtyard through the back door.
Lunch was sent to the courtyard by Zhu Qing and the people from the restaurant, Wen Xian only ate a few bites hastily, and then lay down in the carriage to rest.
After resting for a while, she felt the need to go to the guest room at all.
And although Xia Zhi had been in a carriage before, the carriage in the past was much more luxurious than this, and it was a slow and leisurely journey, and it didn't bump much.
Therefore, Xia Zhi's state is not much better.
The two of them were resting in the carriage with weak energy, and Zhu Qing took a few bites of rice and brought a lunch box of fruits and pastries to their carriage.
"It's hard work." Zhu Qing said guiltily, "There is still half a day to get to Fucheng, and then we can go slower." ”
It was he who ignored this problem, how could two weak women stand such a high-intensity rush.
Wen Xian waved her hand and said, "It's okay, when you get to Fucheng, just take a bath and rest." ”
She paused and said, "Young Master Qing, can you help us make two more quilts in the carriage, so that we can reduce some bumps." ”
She now misses the cars and asphalt roads of her previous life very much, and the road is flat and smooth, no matter how long she travels, it will not be like now.
The carriage was bustling, and her whole body was about to fall apart, so she might as well ride a horse.
Yes, horseback riding! She must learn how to ride a horse.
Of course, the original owner can ride a horse, but she can't. Even if you can ride from memory, you have to practice on your own first.
Zhu Qing soothed: "Wait a minute, eldest prince, Zhu San has already gone to get it."
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhu San come out of the house with two thick futons and two pillows.
Wen Xian hurriedly took it over and laid it out, and the next trip was much better.
It was already night when we arrived at Fucheng, and the carriage drove directly into the backyard.
Wen Xian and Xia Zhi cleaned up in a drowsy state, then fell asleep and slept until noon the next day.
Wen Xian told Zhu Qing yesterday, don't call them this morning, and wait for the natural awakening to talk about anything else.
Taking advantage of the time when they didn't get up, it was just right for people to go out to publicize and publicize the news that there were fresh dishes today, and make and sell them on the spot.
Wen Xian stretched her waist and got dressed and went out, Xia Zhi, who didn't know when she would get up, brought her warm water and washed.
The courtyard was quiet, and there was no one but the two of them. However, as soon as I entered the courtyard and the restaurant, it was quite lively.
The courtyard they lived in was similar to that of the county, but when they entered the courtyard, it was twice as large as this courtyard.
"Let's go, let's go to the front restaurant." Wen Xian put on the makeup on her face, took Xia Zhi out of the back door, prepared to go around, and then entered through the main gate of the restaurant.
The back door is very simple, just a small alley, and on the other side of the alley, there is a house that does not know what to do.
There are also rock sugar gourds sold at the mouth of the alley, a bunch for a penny, Wen Xian bought two bunches, and she and Xia Zhi one bunch.
Wen Xian originally thought that the city must be prosperous. After all, Zhu Qing's restaurant can be so hot.
But unexpectedly, when I got out of the alley, I saw a lot of beggars shrinking in the corner.
They were men and women, old and young. Not like beggars, more like disaster victims.
Except for the victims cowering in the corners, the rest of the street is somewhat normal.
Those who set up stalls, those who open shops and do business, you name it.
There are also many people wandering the streets, but most of them are pedestrians rushing for a living, walking in a hurry, and caravans coming and going.
Of course, there are rich people who wear brocade and silk, but there are not many.
There are also officials who patrol from time to time, and whenever they find someone rioting, they will immediately step forward and take it down.
This street alone has brought a lot of visual conflicts to Wen Xian.
Such a scene was so divided, she didn't know what to say.
