When Qingyan got up the next morning, she found that Madam Hui had gotten up early and prepared a lot of braised meat and dried vegetables for her to eat on the way.
She originally planned to leave directly, but several members of the Fang family had already made arrangements in advance to tell her to finish her meal before leaving.
It didn't take much time, so I ate some with a few people.
Afterwards, they were stopped by Qingyan when they arrived at the door. It was cold in the morning, and Huiniang came out specially holding the little guy in her arms.
"Uncle Fang, Brother Fang, Second Brother Fang, and Sister Huiniang, please go back. I will leave now. I will come to see you again when I have the opportunity."
After saying that, she patted the little guy's little face gently. Yuanbao also jumped into her arms and looked at the child together. He also meowed at the child a few times to say goodbye to him.
It had been playing a little crazy in the space these past two days, and it was only after Qingyan reminded it that it came out to say goodbye to everyone.
"Zhicheng will do well in the future and grow strong. Okay, don't send me any more. I'm really leaving. Goodbye~"
After saying that, he hugged Yuan Bao and glanced at a few people again, then got into the carriage and headed directly towards the street.
She had used her spiritual consciousness to keep an eye on those people she had walked with before. She had deliberately avoided them when she was shopping before, just because she was worried about encountering someone who suggested that they go together again.
Especially Chen Shijin and the others. The Fang family and his son had told them that they could go the same way when she returned to Youzhou. They had gotten along well before, and it would be hard for her to refuse if the other party wanted to go together.
Fortunately, the other party left yesterday, so she breathed a sigh of relief. It was still comfortable for her to walk on her own, and she could rest when she wanted. She had all the equipment, so there was no need to suffer, especially the big bear, who had really suffered for the past few days.
You must know that it also rested in the wooden house before, and ate the tender grass of Chou Chou's space. During this period, it could only eat hay and beans, and it had already protested.
What's more, Chou Chou now has a windy space, and the tender grass inside can be accessed at any time. They can also go directly inside to rest, which is much more comfortable and safer than outside.
I bought fifty sesame seed cakes from a sesame seed cake shop that had just opened. It happened to be the first batch of sesame seed pancakes that had just come out. After buying, I covered them with the carriage and let Chou Chou hide them in the space.
When you get to the south gate, follow the people out of the city, and then continue to the southeast after leaving the city.
She had previously wanted to go to the coastal area of Guangzhou in later generations, thinking about going there to keep it warm in winter. Later, she heard from Chou Chou that those places now were not as prosperous as in later generations, and were still very desolate, even small and uncivilized countries.
Not only was their household registration and route guidance problematic, but their safety was also not guaranteed, so she and Chou Chou discussed it and changed their destination to the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas in Jiangnan, especially Yangzhou, which was said to be one of the most prosperous cities in the Song Dynasty. .
Of course, at their current pace, it's very likely that it'll be almost next summer before they get there, so it doesn't matter whether it's warm or not.
After leaving the city, Qingyan asked Daxiong to speed up, taking advantage of the fact that there weren't many people on the official road, so she could go a little further.
She tried her best not to interact with people on the way, but luckily she didn't run into anyone she knew.
Apart from feeding the big bear, we hardly stopped. At night, we found a place where no one was around and took a rest.
She, Chou Chou and Yuan Bao lived in the house with the formation, and now Chou Chou also placed that house in the valley.
Right next to the fenced vegetable garden, there is a wall built with stones around the perimeter, which can stop the unintelligent animals from running in and causing trouble on their own.
Because of the formation, the temperature in the room is moderate and the wind in the space cannot blow in. It is very comfortable to live in it.
If she hadn't left the northwest before the twelfth lunar month of winter, she would have wanted to set up camp there directly.
In this way, I drove the carriage during the day and entered the space at night. The speed was much faster than before, and I arrived at the next capital city in five days.
I bought some specialties in Fucheng, packed some food and went out. I didn't even spend the night. The best inn in Fucheng was not comfortable in the space.
The big bear can also run freely inside and eat the fresh grass growing on the ground and the fruits on the trees, which is better than staying in the stable.
In the meantime, they bought a horse and a cow and kept them in the space, taking turns pulling the cart with the big bear.
There were no conditions before, and it wasn't a matter of money. It was mainly because it was a bit strange to travel with a few animals. Now that Chou Chou can raise animals in the space, there is no need to only burden the big bear.
So now the big bear pulls the cart for one day, and the other horse pulls for another day. When encountering uphill or mountainous roads that are difficult to walk, the oxen is used, which makes the efficiency even higher.
During this period, Chou Chou kept staring at Yunzhou Fucheng and Liquan County, but the murderer never appeared. The mute slave was always there at the tiger's side, but no second person was found.
On the eighth day, it started snowing again, almost like light snow. At this time, she happened to be on the mountain road. It was a cart pulled by oxen. Fortunately, it was a downhill road and there was no snow on the ground. It was pretty good. Walk.
In addition, there were people traveling the same way behind us, so we didn’t stop to rest and continued on our way. It wasn’t until the night when the snow gradually started to get heavy that we couldn’t see the road clearly even with a torch, so the people behind us found a flatter place to rest. .
Qingyan didn't stop and continued walking forward for a while. Only when the people behind her were completely invisible did she let Chou Chou, the car and the people move into the space.
In this way, even if the people behind her catch up and cannot see her carriage, they will think that she left overnight.
As for the ruts on the road, with such heavy snow, the traces will be covered up in a short time. It is impossible to leave ruts, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.
If it weren't for the official roads in this era, the alleys would go round and round, and some were even impossible for carriages to go on. She would not have chosen to take the official roads with so many people.
And only the official road can lead directly to the capital. If she wants to go southeast, she must pass by the capital. Although she can take a detour, it is completely unnecessary.
She also wanted to go to Xingtang Mansion to see the Yang family and Xue Minghua who had gone to the capital.
It's not that you want to come to them, you just need to go nearby and use your spiritual sense to see if they are doing well. After all, it is just an acquaintance, and you may not see them again in the future. It really means that one glance is too much.
Qingyan entered the space and saw several bears sitting around a stone table next to the vegetable garden.
This stone table was placed here later. Chou Chou said it was Xiong Da's request, saying that they could rest here after working, drink water and eat honey.
It is said that Xiong Da saw them in the village before and felt that they are now farm bears and should be treated the same.
Seeing them surrounding the table, I didn’t know what they were doing, so I walked over curiously.
The dimension of Dafeng is so bad. There is no night in it, which is completely opposite to the dimension of Chou Chou. There is no day in it, and it is all gray and black. They are two extremes.
As I got closer, I realized that the four bears were actually playing Jenga!
Just use rocks to stack up. Whoever knocks the rocks down loses.
There is a bottle of honey placed in front of the four bears. Obviously, there are chips for winning and losing...
I saw one of them holding a flat stone in its paws and carefully placing it on top. It was careful enough, but the pile of stones still fell over.
Despondently, he took out a small wooden stick from the bottle, dipped it in honey and fed it into the mouth of a bear. After feeding all three bears, he gave himself a mouthful.
Then he divided the stone into equal parts, and continued to put it in first.
Qingyan:......
Did this teach bears how to gamble? Definitely not self-taught, definitely someone taught me.
She sent a message to Chou Chou, "What's going on with these four bears? They even made a bet on them. You couldn't have taught them, right?"
Chou Chou ran over directly, and the first thing he did was to cry out for injustice, "How is that possible! I don't know how to do it myself, this was done by Big Bear.
Because of the name you gave it, it came in and hung out with some bears, and the next day these guys learned to drink!
The wine we bought earlier was ruined by two jars. If I hadn't discovered it earlier, those jars would have been gone.
I trained you to be honest for two days, but I didn’t expect that you would learn to gamble again today! "
Qingyan looked in disbelief, "No, how could Big Bear know this? Who taught it?"
Chou Chou squinted at her, "Have you forgotten how it came from?"
"Well……"
Qingyan suddenly remembered that she did not buy the big bear, but snatched it from the gangsters who were chasing the He family girls.
Now think back to the appearance of those people, a group of vicious men, it is not a good thing to think about, and eating, drinking, whoring and gambling seems to be normal.
But how could this big bear still remember it? It seemed that he had been nurtured before, but he just never had the chance to show it.
After all, it was just a horse, so he definitely wouldn't dare to tell Yuan Bao and Chou Chou about these things, otherwise he would be looking for a beating.
Now in the space, with these wise bears, I immediately picked up the previous "knowledge" and completely let myself go.
She regretted giving the big bear this name, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten mixed up with these bears and become a naughty child, no, a bear horse.
She is really angry and funny now. It doesn't matter how angry she is. After all, these bears are just messing around in space, and they are not like people who gamble and lose everything.
This kind of thing is just a little bit of honey if you win or lose, and if you don't lose the garden or the land, just treat it as entertainment for them, and she was just a little surprised for a moment.
"Where did the big bear go?"
Qingyan looked around and saw no sign of Big Bear, not even the mare she bought later.
Yes, the horse I bought later was a mare. While sharing the work with Big Bear, I also served as his wife.
It was Daxiong who fell in love with him at first sight, not her random love.
Chou Chou: "How about a date at the apple forest on the mountain? Can I call them back?"
Qingyan shook her head, "No, just let them go and I won't disturb the young couple."
She unloaded the cow from the car and let it graze on its own. She went back to the house and took off the thick cotton clothes outside, and washed herself before coming out.
After watching the bears playing for a while, I felt bored and went to make some food with Chou Chou.
I still have the food I packed in my previous city, so I can just take it out and eat it directly.
Then she asked Chou Chou to get some hot spring water for her, and took a good bath in the cave pool before returning to the house and lying down comfortably.
She sighed again, if she wasn't the only one in this space, and the only people she could communicate with were Chou Chou and Yuan Bao, she could really stay here and live a small life.
The next day, I woke up naturally and didn't rush on the road. Chou Chou looked outside and said that the snow outside was getting heavier and it was not a good time to rush on the road.
There are sleds on their car. It doesn't matter if the snow is thicker. The main thing is to wait for the snow to stop. If it snows, it will always affect the view.
After breakfast, there was nothing to do, so Qingyan went up the mountain with Chou Chou and Yuan Bao to explore. The mountain alone was so big that it couldn't be explored in a short time.
Even though the layout of this space was in Chou Chou's mind, Ke Qingyan still liked this feeling of adventure.
Except for letting Chou Chou lead the way when he is purposefully picking wild fruits, at other times he likes to explore on his own little by little.
There are not many types of fruits on this mountain, and there are many fruits that are ripe on the trees. I don’t have time to pick them. Some of them are not very delicious, but that is also relatively speaking. The main reason is that Qingyan’s mouth is relatively big, so when others come, That's pretty good.
It would be a pity to just leave them like this and drop them on the ground. Qingyan thought that she might as well collect them so that she could sell some in the next town.
She had seen apples and persimmons being sold in Fucheng before. The quality was not very good, but the price was not cheap. Especially apples, which cost one penny per catty, which was equivalent to one hundred and eighty yuan in later generations.
When the time comes, they can also sell it and earn some money to buy other things. Anyway, the fruit will be harvested one after another. Business without capital is the most pleasant.
Although she is not short of money, who would think that it is too much? Her father said that if you have money, you will not be a bastard.
Moreover, these northern fruits are best sold in the north. It is not easy to take them out in the south. With the current transportation level, it seems a bit strange to sell northern fruits in the south.
It can be said that there are cellars here for good preservation. People in the south will definitely be suspicious if you bring them to the south, and the price is not necessarily high. After all, there should be fruits there, so there is no need at all.
When they get to the south, they can transplant some fruit trees from the south. After all, the four seasons in this space are like spring, but the fruits in the north are a little too monotonous.
At that time, you can plant some oranges, oranges, grapefruits, pipas, yellow peaches and other fruits. The oranges can be squeezed for juice, which she likes to drink.
Today, the three of them walked deep into the mountain. They didn't go far before they found a patch of grapes, which were ripe and turned purple.
She picked one, rubbed it and put it in her mouth, yum! sweet!
This stuff is good. You can eat it directly or make it into wine. However, sugar in this world is a bit expensive. Because of the craftsmanship, sugar is considered a luxury product now.
Ordinary people can only eat some maltose, white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar and the like, which they simply cannot afford or buy.
Therefore, if white sugar is used to make wine, the cost is a bit high.
