Chapter 41: The county seat
"The rabbit meat is roasted, here you go. Zhou An handed the roasted rabbit meat to Xiao Qing'er.
Xiao Qing'er took the roasted rabbit, stretched out her pretty nose and smelled it, it was so fragrant, and then showed her white teeth, biting towards the rabbit meat, a fragrant but not greasy smell filled her mouth, making her sink in, it was so delicious, and then she ate it one bite at a time.
"I want to eat too. Zhou Aiai looked at Zhou An with a mouth full of oil, and said while licking her fingers.
"You haven't eaten enough of a rabbit yet, Zhou Qiang and I haven't eaten yet. Zhou An picked up another rabbit next to him, took it to the fire and roasted it.
Zhou Aiai hugged Zhou An's arm, said coquettishly, and even rubbed his chest against his arm: "Brother An, it's okay to bake me another one, one is not at all, I still have to eat ......" Then Zhou Aiai counted her fingers, and when she counted the five hands in her palm, she said: "Five." ”
"Okay, you have a stake, Zhou Qiang, you add some more wooden branches, make the fire bigger, one by one is too slow, I want to roast a few together." Zhou An said to Zhou Qiang.
After screaming for a long time, Zhou Qiang didn't react, Zhou An looked back, and saw Zhou Qiang obsessively watching Xiao Qing'er eat rabbit meat.
Zhou An covered his head, he was helpless.
Zhou An had no choice but to pack up the wooden branches and increase the fire, and the three rabbits roasted together.
Zhou An took out a few small bottles of spices from his arms, sprinkled the seasonings on top of the free, and then put them away. He roasted the first few rabbits like this, and he sprinkled these spices into them.
These seasonings were collected by him when he went to the grove, and although they couldn't be compared with those in his previous life, as long as they were added, they were much more delicious than what they were making now.
Xiao Qing'er's eyes lit up when she saw these seasonings, and she said, "Brother An, is these powders the reason why you roast these meats and are them delicious?"
"Yes, I made it all myself. Others don't have it, I don't sell it. Zhou An saw Xiao Qing'er's thoughts at a glance and said.
"That's a pity. Xiao Qing'er said disappointedly.
After waiting for a while, the meat was roasted, Zhou An gave Zhou An'an one, Zhou Qiang one, and Xiao Qing'er one, and he picked up three rabbits and roasted them.
In the end, Zhou An finished roasting all the rabbits, and they were full of food and bulging bellies, so they stopped.
Of course, except for Zhou Qiang, he didn't even eat one, he kept obsessively looking at Xiao Qing'er, and Xiao Qing'er was embarrassed by him.
After eating, Xiaoqing returned to their convoy, and Zhou An and the three of them did not bring tents, so they could only use the sky as the bed and the earth as their bed.
extinguished the fire, and Zhou An and the three of them fell asleep, because there were still Zhao Feng and their group, so when they slept, Zhou An was awake, saving them from sneaking up on themselves when they slept.
Fortunately, Zhou An's power was very strong, they didn't do it while sleeping, and Zhou An slept well this night.
The next day, Xiao Qing'er invited Zhou An and the three of them to go on the road together, but Zhou Qiang immediately agreed, so that Zhou An wanted to say that it was too late to refuse, and now looking at Zhou Qiang, he had the urge to smash him to death with a hammer.
Xiao Qing'er was very happy when she heard it, and she could eat delicious barbecue every day in the future.
And Xiao Qing'er's Yahuan Xiaoli hid behind Xiao Qing'er, looking at Zhou An with fear, in fact, Xiao Qing'er also asked her to ask for barbecue last night, but Zhou An's power like a god and a demon was too strong, she didn't dare to go, Xiao Qing'er couldn't stand the fragrance, so she had to be brave to go.
Through the conversation with Zhou An and the three of them, she knew that Zhou An and the three of them were not bad, and they were very good, she explained it to Xiaoli, but Zhou An's power had penetrated into her heart, and she didn't believe it, she still saw that Zhou An was very scared, and in the end Xiao Qing'er had no choice.
Zhao Feng gritted his teeth as he watched from the side, Xiao Qing'er was his woman, he didn't allow others to get involved, these three people must be eliminated, in fact, he originally wanted to sneak attack last night, but those guards didn't agree, if they failed, they would be very miserable, maybe their lives were in danger.
Even Zhao Feng wanted to ask Gan Si to make a move, but Gan Si decisively refused, and only said: If you can think of making a move at night, he can also think of it.
Hearing this, he touched the slap prints on his face, and he had no choice but to give up and wait for a chance later.
And just like that, they hit the road together.
Except for a few pedestrians, the road was peaceful.
When on the road, Zhou Aiai seemed particularly lively, chattering non-stop, all kinds of surprises, when she saw a big mountain in the distance, said so majestic, when she saw a sedan chair passing by, said that she would also sit in the future, when she saw a couple passing by, she said that she also wanted to find a man, cough cough, okay, this one is revealed.
Zhou Aiai was better, but Zhou Qiang made Zhou An very upset, he was completely caught in Xiao Qing'er's beauty, and he kept looking at her carriage without blinking.
But every time he eats, Xiao Qing'er always talks to Zhou An, and he doesn't know if Zhou Qiang is stupid or wooden, even then he looks at Xiao Qing'er obsessively, and he has no dissatisfaction with Zhou An.
And Zhao Feng walked all the way, made a fire all the way, every time he saw Xiao Qing'er and Zhou An talking and laughing, he looked at Zhou An with resentful eyes, even the obsessed Zhou Qiang was also included, he thought that they were all people who beat Xiao Qing'er's idea, and now he had no way to deal with the two, but when he arrived in the county, he wanted to make the two of them worse than dead.
In the afternoon, they finally came to the gate of the county seat.
Zhou An looked at the city wall of the county seat, and he saw at a glance that this city wall was very ancient, at least hundreds of years old, and it was engraved with traces of time, some were fought by swords, and some were stained with blood.
And there are three big characters written on the city gate, which are ancient traditional characters, although Zhou An recognized what font it was, but he didn't know what these three words were.
At this time, Zhou An understood why the villagers in the surrounding villages did not have a name when they called the county seat, and no one knew the words on it.
Well, it's funny, it's as simple as that.
As he approached, there were two soldiers, standing on the right and left sides, guarding the gates.
Everyone who entered the city gate took out a piece of paper and showed it to the soldiers before they could enter.
Zhou An knew that this piece of paper was called a photo sticker, which was used by the county town to verify his identity, and if there was no photo sticker, he had to get the consent of the city defense officer and issue a temporary photo sticker before he could enter.
Generally, the photo sticker is issued by the county government of the county, and then sent to each village, which is uniformly controlled by the village head.
Of course, this is only this area of the county, if it is an outsider, then it is another matter, you must show a photo sticker issued in other counties before entering.
Although it is very troublesome, this is the system of the Great Yuan Dynasty and cannot be changed.
Before coming, Zhou Wen had already given three people, each with a photo sticker.
On the photo sticker, there are their names, ancestral homes, occupations, and the seal of the county government.
When they came to the city gate, Zhou An, Zhou Qiang, and Zhou Aiai took out the photo sticker, and the soldiers took it over and looked at it, then handed it to the three and let the three of them in.
Then Xiao Qing'er and Zhao Feng also took out their own photo stickers, and the soldiers looked at it and gave it to them, Xiao Qing'er and Zhao Feng said that Yahuan Xiaoli and Gan Si and the people in the escort team were their followers, and the soldiers registered them one by one, and if they made trouble in the city, they would look for Xiao Qing'er and Zhao Feng.
Zhou An, Zhou Qiang. After Zhou Aiai entered the city, she said goodbye to Xiao Qing'er, this time it was Zhou An who opened her mouth, if Zhou Qiang was allowed to speak, maybe they would go together again.
After parting, Zhao Feng whispered something in the ear of a guard, and the guard hesitated for a moment, then sneakily followed behind Zhou An and the others.
Zhou An, Zhou Qiang, and Zhou Aiai came to a cloth village, which was opened by Zhou An's eldest brother Zhou Dabao, and there are three shops like the cloth village in the county.
This cloth village is called Zhouji cloth village.
The three of them walked into the cloth village, and a guy greeted them and said enthusiastically: "Three guests, what kind of cloth do you want, we have cotton cloth, kudzu cloth, linen cloth, gauze, silk cloth, which one do you choose?" ”
"I don't buy cloth, I come to Chow Tai Po. Zhou An said.
"Who are you?" the guy asked after looking at Zhou An and the others.
The three people in front of him were all carrying weapons, like people in the martial arts, not like friends of the owner, could it be that they came to join the owner.
