Qingyan planned to take a look when she went to the south. There was sugar cane there, and maybe the cost of sugar would be lower.
She and Chou Chou picked all the ripe grapes, put them in baskets, and stored them in Chou Chou's space.
It is unripe and still green and is left on the vine. When it is ripe, small animals will come to eat it.
Because there is a plug-in called ChouChou, it didn’t take long and didn’t take much effort.
The two of them walked inside again and found several persimmon trees and two red date trees.
Let Chou Chou pick all the grapes and pile them directly there. There is no way, the baskets are all used up. Fortunately, these grapes are not easy to be pressed and stacked.
As for the persimmons, the ones she picked before were dried into persimmons, and she was going to dry them as they were delicious and easy to store.
Of course, you can also sell some when you get to the town and clear out the previous inventory. The fruits in the space will be much more delicious than those outside.
She has tasted it all, but fortunately it is not rich in spiritual energy, otherwise she would definitely not be able to part with it.
Then they found some more walnuts. After collecting them, they didn't go back in. It was already noon and they had to go back to cook.
They brought two pheasants with them when they went back. They were going to make chicken stewed with mushrooms. For lamb, just roast a leg of lamb, and stir-fry cabbage braised in vinegar.
She and Chou Chou cooked it directly in the yard. The smell of chicken and barbecue wafted far away. The four bears were so greedy that they poked their heads on the wall, making Qingyan laugh.
Finally, she gave them some of everything before going back.
Fortunately, they are just curious to taste it, otherwise it would not be enough for them to eat.
After dinner, Chou Chou and Chou Chou ate some fruit and took a nap on the rocking chair in the yard. In the afternoon, they went to the mountains again.
This time I didn't come back until nine o'clock in the evening. I heated up the leftover food from lunch and then went to bed.
Because the space is full of light, they can only count the time by looking at their watches and outside.
The next morning, the snow finally stopped. Chou Chou measured the thickness of the snow outside. It was almost up to his calves. It had been snowing for two days and a half, so it was considered relatively thick.
After breakfast, she asked Chou Chou to call the big bear. This kind of road still had to be done by the big bear. The speed of the ox was slow, which was not suitable for the sled. The puller had to be fast, otherwise it would easily sink.
The big bear came back soon, accompanied by a beautiful bay horse, his daughter-in-law Xiaohong.
The name was chosen by Big Bear, and the filly liked it too, so Qingyan didn't comment on it.
She wrapped the big bear in sheepskin and wrapped its four legs, and then she put the cart on it.
Then he lit the charcoal stove in the car, put on his thick cotton clothes, a big cloak, and a leather hat on his head.
Seeing the two horses still meeting each other at the other end, they couldn't help but rolled their eyes and said to Chou Chou: "Send us out."
Qingyan went outside while sitting in the carriage, so she didn't feel the cold immediately. It wasn't until she opened the carriage door and came out that she was startled by the northwest wind.
He patted the big bear's butt and asked, "How are you? Is it cold? Do you want me to put another layer on you?"
The big bear snorted, shook his big head to show that he wasn't cold, and started trotting forward with his hooves.
Qingyan almost fell back into the car due to the inertia, and laughed and cursed: "Smelly bear! Are you looking for a slap in the face?"
"Hoo'er, ho'er, ho'er~~"
What answered her was the arrogant roar of the big bear with its neck raised.
Horse hooves splashed with flying snow, scattering laughter all the way.
…
After three days of walking out of the mountain, she came to a road that was very familiar to her. Chou Chou told her that this was the road that everyone in Yangjiaping used to escape from the mountain.
Because we were walking along the official road, we did not pass by Yangjiaping, but went directly through a city called Jinzhou to get here.
Chou Chou said that Qianzhou was the former Taiyuan, which was rebuilt three years after it was burned down.
She did know about this period in history. After Song Taizong captured Jinyang, Taiyuan, he ordered the entire city to be burned down and the people in the city moved to Henan. After that, Jinyang City was completely destroyed.
In order to remove the "dragon horns", Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty even leveled all the tops of Mount Tiezhou in the north of Jinyang.
Later, Taiyuan City was built in the Tangming Town area northeast of the former site of Jinyang City. In order to break the dragon vein, the new city only built "D" streets instead of cross roads.
Unexpectedly, this world is the same. It seems that this is really a parallel world.
In fact, the scenery of this road in winter is very different from that in summer. The reason why she recognized it was because of the abandoned Dragon King Temple.
The temple was still in its original position, even if the low walls were covered with snow, the missing piece of the roof was still the same.
She saw it when she used her spiritual consciousness to explore forward. Now her spiritual consciousness can extend to about ten miles, so they are now ten miles away from the ruined temple.
Maybe because of winter, there are no traces of people staying overnight in the ruined temple. However, if you sleep there in this kind of weather, you will get frostbite if you don't freeze to death.
Walking about twenty miles further, we will reach Xingtang Mansion. There are also other towns in the middle. We can persist no matter what, and there is no need to stay there.
She is not going to Xingtang Mansion now. She wants to go back dozens of miles to visit Handeng.
It's past noon now, and the cart is being pulled by Big Bear, who just put it on in the morning. I usually put it on when approaching a town. Mainly because it has experience in the city, and it will help her when she goes to a restaurant or teahouse. Look at the car and luggage.
Qingyan had never stayed in an inn during her entire journey. Basically, she would leave the city before dark and find a deserted place to rest in space.
She was planning to go to Handeng. She wouldn't be able to get there before dark. She would rest outside for a night and then go in tomorrow morning. She would go to the restaurant to pack some food and replenish necessary supplies. She would also check to see if everyone in Yangjiaping was still there.
After all, more than ten years have passed, and she doesn't know if those people have left. She can just look at the previous yards. If they are still there, she is not going to do anything. There is no need to disturb other people's lives.
When the carriage passed the ruined temple, she couldn't help but stop the carriage and go in to take a look. After all, she was revisiting an old place, and she still felt a little emotional.
She couldn't help but think of some old friends. She knew that Li Hao was there before in Yunzhou Fucheng, but she didn't look at him with her spiritual consciousness, and she didn't even remind Chou Chou.
It's not that she has any special feelings, it's just that she doesn't want to see the other person mature or old, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable and helpless against the passage of time.
As a friend, she doesn't want anyone to grow old, only to stay young forever.
Sighing, he turned back to the car and continued driving forward.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, not far from Handcheng, we could already clearly see the outline of the city.
She found a fork in the road beside the official road and turned in, letting Chou Chou hide in the space under a slope.
If she appears here tomorrow morning, even if there is no one on the official road or small road, she will not be able to see her. They will only think that her car was resting here before.
There was no way, wherever ChouChou was taken in, he had to be released. Unless ChouChou was moving outside and could move them with him, otherwise he would have to find a suitable place.
I returned to the space and had a good night's rest. Qingyan came out at dawn the next day.
While there was still no one on the official road, he slowly headed towards Hancheng. As he approached the south gate, there were gradually more pedestrians and vehicles, many of whom were people preparing to enter the city to sell things.
Qingyan looked at the familiar scene and couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. If it weren't for the cold northwest wind blowing on her face, she would have thought she was back when she first came to Handeng.
It's just that when they entered, they took the north gate, and when they left, they took the south gate.
At this time, the city gate had just opened, and everyone was queuing up to check in.
While Qingyan was waiting in line, she looked around the city with her spiritual consciousness.
The previous layout has not changed, there are just more buildings, the clothes worn by the soldiers patrolling inside are different from before, and the mental outlook of the people in the city is much better than before.
It seems that this is considered a stable period, so most people are still living and working in peace and contentment.
Of course, the gap between rich and poor is inevitable at all times, so it is rare for most people to live well.
She was just about to take a look at the people's yards in Yangjiaping when it was her turn to be inspected and pay the city fee.
Open the carriage door and let the city guard take a closer look. After confirming that there is no problem, you pay the fee and enter the city.
After entering the city, she was not in a hurry. First she drove a carriage to Dongcheng, sat down at a restaurant that had just opened, and ordered a bowl of wontons.
Although she had breakfast before coming out, it was too early and she wasn't very hungry at all, so she drank some porridge.
It's now eight o'clock, and it's time for breakfast.
While eating the delicious wontons, she released her consciousness.
She found that the yard Li Hao gave her was empty. Judging from the appearance, no one had lived there for a long time.
Ordinarily it shouldn't be. Even if everyone in Yangjiaping leaves, the yard can be sold or rented out. The location is so good that it really won't be left vacant.
She quickly explored other yards that everyone had bought before. Fortunately, the interval between hers was not more than ten years, otherwise she would have forgotten it.
Then she found that most of the people inside were strangers, and none of them were familiar to her. Could it be that everyone in Yangjiaping had gone back?
That's not the case. Things have settled down here. Why go back to the original small mountain village? Isn't it good to go to a big city?
"Chou Chou, look over there at Yangjiaping. Have Master Dashan and the others gone back?"
Chou Chou: "Okay, let me take a look."
After a while, Chou Chou's voice came again, "No, there is no one we know in Yangjiaping. They probably haven't gone back. It's only been more than ten years, and even the elderly people have passed away, so should Lanhua Daya and Hei Dan." That’s right.”
Qingyan nodded, she thought so too.
She didn't hold out hope that those people were still there. After all, the average age in ancient times was forty or fifty, and sixty was considered an advanced age.
When she met those people, they were all in their forties or fifties, their grandparents' generation. After more than ten years, it would not be surprising if they all passed away.
Moreover, they had no descendants and were all lonely and elderly people at that time, so they stayed in Yangjiaping and did not want to flee.
If he hadn't met her later, he might still be guarding her there.
But even if the old people pass away, the three younger ones should still be there. At least these yards will be left to them to inherit.
And now these courtyards are filled with strangers. No matter how much they change over the past ten years, she can still remember the looks and facial features of the three people. There must be some similarities. These people don't have them at all, and their ages don't match. .
There are old people, middle-aged people and children, but there are no young adults in their twenties.
In this way, she had no place to inquire. After all, it happened more than ten years ago. It would be fine if they had just moved away recently. If not, this could be considered a matter of the previous family. Once she inquired, it was very possible. Get yourself into trouble.
After thinking about it for a while, I made up my mind. I just felt that there seemed to be no fate. I thought I could see them again, but I didn't expect to see anyone.
After finishing the wontons and settling the bill, she bought some charcoal and vegetables in Dongcheng. She didn't buy food, and there was still a lot of space.
As for the vegetables that were planted, they have not grown yet, and the space in the strong wind does not have the function of accelerating, so it still takes time to grow. They have just sprouted now.
This is because the temperature inside the space is moderate, so it grows quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to germinate outside.
There is nothing fresh when buying vegetables, just some potatoes, cabbage, radishes, and leeks.
I did find bean sprouts for sale in a shop, but they were not thick, long and white like those of later generations. Instead, they were just over an inch old and were still a little yellow and twisted.
But this can be considered a fresh dish and can be used for a change of taste.
Qingyan has a new idea. She can grow bean sprouts in the space. She watched her grandma grow bean sprouts and knows the steps. The bean sprouts can be grown quickly and can be sprouted in a few days. The climate in the space is also suitable. All she needs to do is buy some. Beans will do.
She made it as soon as she thought of it. After shopping for vegetables, she went to the grain store and bought some soybeans and mung beans.
I saw that they also had red beans and black beans, so I bought some. The black beans can be fed to two horses, and the red beans can be used to make red bean paste. You can switch between them to earn a taste.
After buying these, she drove the carriage out of the city. Since she didn't see her old friend, there was no need to stay in Handeng any longer.
She was not even in the mood to pack meals at the restaurant, and was planning to go to Xingtang Mansion. It was busier than here and had more restaurants.
At that time, she can go to several restaurants to package some separately and store more. This will save her from having to pack too much at one place and have to find a place to receive it when it is delivered to her door.
And with the current temperature, the food is almost cold when it is delivered. It is better to go to the restaurant to pack it up and change it from house to house.
She entered through the south gate before, and now she exits through the south gate because she wants to continue walking south.
It's only a few dozen miles from Handeng to Xingtang Mansion, and you can get there in one afternoon.
When she was about to pass by the ruined temple again, Qingyan discovered that there was someone inside. Smoke was coming from the gap in the roof, which could be seen from a distance.
