Go back to the alley again, take out the fruits you picked before, and place them on the cart. Six baskets will be squeezed down.
Then I took out the oilcloth and covered it directly, and tied it with hemp rope, so that it couldn't be seen from the outside at all, and I couldn't even smell it. After all, the fruity aroma of peaches was still very obvious.
By the time she returned to the fruit and vegetable shop, more than an hour had passed, and she was mainly delayed at the livestock market.
The shopkeeper ran out as soon as he heard the commotion. When he saw that the cowl cart was tightly covered by her driving, he knew that she was bringing the fruit over.
He quickly called two guys inside and asked them to come out and move things.
Qingyan didn't waste any time and just lifted the oilcloth. The fruits in the basket were all arranged by Chou Chou with his mind. They were very neat and looked very nice and more attractive.
The shopkeeper looked at the delightful fruit, rubbed his hands happily, and kept saying: "Very good, very good."
Qingyan followed them into the store and found that the boss had moved the vegetables she had picked to the center of the room, and put a few baskets of fruits in the empty space under the shelf.
"Shopkeeper, don't you take a look? Aren't you afraid that there is rotten fruit down there?"
Seeing that the other party didn't even look at her, Qingyan asked curiously.
The shopkeeper waved his hand and said: "This basket is not solid. There are so many holes underneath, which can be seen at a glance. But girl, do you want to take a look at the vegetables below?"
Qingyan smiled and shook her head, "No need. Since the shopkeeper trusts me, I won't doubt the shopkeeper. Honesty is the key to doing business. If the shopkeeper can run a business, he will definitely not do something that involves a small gain but a big loss." Lift.”
"Hahaha... Yes, the little girl is very generous. If she does business in the future, she will definitely become a big businessman!
I just don’t know if you still have this fruit? If there is any, feel free to give it to me and I will definitely give you a satisfactory price. "
Qingyan shook her head, "No, the shopkeeper should also know that these fruits are no better than vegetables. They only bear one season of fruit a year. I am just next to the hot spring and let them bear fruit later, and they cannot bear one more season. Apart from keeping food for myself, that’s all.”
Of course she couldn't say there was more. After all, she was leaving soon and there was no way she could supply more goods to others, so it was better to just refuse.
The shopkeeper said with some disappointment, "That's really a pity. Your fruits are rare in winter. I was thinking of harvesting more."
"It's really gone. Now that the deal is over, I'll take my leave and I'll have to trouble two guys to help me move out."
Qingyan cupped her hands towards the shopkeeper and said.
The two guys quickly waved their hands and said, "No trouble, no trouble, this is what we should do."
When the six baskets of fruits were replaced by six and a half baskets of vegetables, Qingyan covered the oilcloth again. She had no choice but to find this thing eye-catching even now.
I said goodbye to the shopkeeper and the waiter again, and drove the bullock cart back to the dead end.
After asking Chou Chou to put the vegetables and the ox cart in, and then put the carriage out, Qingyan drove the carriage out of the city.
It just so happened that this place was close to Nancheng. If she wanted to take the south gate, she didn't have to go far.
It was already dark when she left the inner city. She looked at her watch and saw that it was already seven o'clock, so she found a restaurant in the outer city to have dinner.
She bought a lot of dishes from several big restaurants in the inner city. Whether it was the shopkeeper or the waiters, they probably had an impression of her, and she was too embarrassed to go out to eat again.
She had something to eat in the outer city. She found one that had the most diners in the family. If the business was good, the taste would definitely not be bad. Fortunately, she was not disappointed and it was quite to her taste.
It was already past eight o'clock after dinner. Although there was no curfew here, she didn't want to leave the city in the middle of the night. It just so happened that she could go together now when there were many people out of the city, which would save a lot of trouble.
As the flow of people out of the city moved forward slowly, Qingyan saw a familiar face when she was approaching the city gate.
In just a blink of an eye, the other party passed her by. She followed her with her spiritual sense and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was Chen Shijin.
How did the other party enter the city on foot? Where are the old lady, your uncle, and their carriage?
She wasn't surprised to see him here. After all, he was going to the capital and this was the only way to go. She would definitely be traveling faster than they would if they stayed in the city. It was normal to catch up.
She didn't turn around to chase him, and she didn't want to follow him on the same road, so she didn't take the initiative to provoke him, but she still couldn't help but follow him with her spiritual consciousness.
While following the people out of the city, he looked at Chen Shijin with his spiritual consciousness. Daxiong knew how to go anyway, so he didn't have to worry about taking the wrong way.
I saw that Chen Shijin did not go to the inner city after entering the city, but went to a small inn in the outer city.
She thought her mother and uncle were inside, but she didn't expect them. He went directly to the second floor of the inn, entered one of the rooms, and then started to wash up.
Qingyan looked through the entire inn, but she didn't find the old lady or uncle Gui. This was wrong. According to this time, they must not have arrived in the capital yet.
Although there were four capitals in the Northern Song Dynasty, this was one of them, but when they chatted before, the other party said that they were from Kaifeng, Tokyo, which was not close to here.
"Hui'er~ Hui'er~ Hui'er~"
The big bear's cry brought her back to her senses, and she looked around. This was an open space with a fork in the road next to it and a forest behind it.
"Have you found a good place to stay? Big Bear is really capable!"
She praised her in front of her, and the big bear snorted in return.
He shook his head funny, got out of the car, walked to the front and touched its big head.
She used to think that Big Bear was a bit lively, but now she knows that this guy has a lot of inner drama, and he is not very serious. He can even gamble.
After entering the space, I saw Chou Chou munching cucumbers on the rocking chair. There was a small basket on the table next to him, with water droplets on it. It looked like it had just been washed.
"Is it tasty?"
Smelling the fragrance of cucumbers, she couldn't help but take one on the table.
Chou Chou swallowed the cucumber in his mouth before replying: "It's delicious. I haven't eaten it for a long time. This time it tastes really delicious. I think it tastes better than fruit. It's refreshing!"
"Well, that's right, click~ click~ click~"
Qingyan nodded in agreement while chewing the cucumber.
She almost regretted the meal she had just eaten at the restaurant in the outer city. The food she ate was just mutton dishes, which were delicious but not innovative. If she had known better, it would be better to come out earlier and go back to the space to cook these vegetables and eat them.
I had thought it would be easier to eat outside, but I had forgotten about this.
Although this cucumber was grown in the hot spring village, it was much more delicious than the ones grown in greenhouses in later generations. At least the cucumbers were grown in the open air and were exposed to sunlight and air. Unlike the ones in greenhouses, which were sprayed with pesticides and It's made with chemical fertilizers and the taste is much worse.
After taking a few bites, Qingyan remembered that they still had some sauce. She went into the house and took out a bottle of bean paste that she had fried before, and dipped a little bit of cucumber in it. Mmm~ delicious!
Chou Chou's eyes lit up when he saw the fried sauce, and he imitated her dipping with cucumbers. When he accidentally dipped too much, he took a few sesame seed cakes with his mind, took a bite of the cucumber and dipped it in the sauce, and took a bite that was crispy and fragrant. The sesame cakes are very fragrant.
Unlike Qingyan, it has already eaten. It has not eaten dinner yet. Although it does not feel hungry, it is now used to eating three meals a day.
Qingyan really didn't have the stomach to eat anymore, so she could only break off a small piece of sesame cake to satisfy her craving. She barely finished the cucumber in her hand, but it felt like it was stuck in her throat and she didn't even dare to drink water.
She held her belly and walked out of the yard, preparing to walk around to eat.
When she walked to the edge of the vegetable garden, she saw four bears gambling for honey around the stone table again. She shook her head helplessly, thinking that these bears were trapped.
Fortunately, the other beasts were not completely enlightened and were not led astray by them, otherwise she would not dare to imagine what the scene would be like.
After walking around, I realized that I didn't seem to see Yuan Bao. This guy went off to have fun somewhere and didn't come back after dinner.
As for the big bear, he disappeared as soon as he was unloaded from the car. Since the strong wind came into being, she rarely feeds the big bear food and drink outside. Unless there are people around when she is rushing outside, she will give him food in the middle. It gets some hay and usually goes into the space to run around, eat and drink until night.
Coupled with the fact that now he has his wife Xiao Hong and the cow working with him, Big Bear can loosen much faster than before.
Like tomorrow, there is no need to go into the city, the cart will be replaced by Xiaohong. It has been in this space for a long time, and there is a big bear to teach it, and now it has a tendency to become wiser.
It can usually understand relatively simple words. As long as you tell it the direction, it will pull the car forward. Qingyan can also rest in the car without worrying about going wrong.
As for oxen, they are worse and require people to drive them. They are usually used on difficult mountain roads or muddy roads after the snow melts. After all, oxen are stronger than horses. It's easier to take the more difficult uphill route.
She was going to walk around the vegetable garden and take a look at the vegetables grown in the garden.
Some green vegetables have already grown leaves, especially leeks, which are the best and are already about ten centimeters tall.
The beans and cucumbers have also grown a little vines, and a triangular frame tied with branches has been inserted on the side, which can be climbed up when the time comes.
Unexpectedly, these bears looked clumsy, but their work was quite meticulous, and the triangular frames tied one by one were quite standard.
The only bad thing is that people grow vegetables in ridges and ridges. They plant vegetables here and there, which wastes a lot of space.
No way, if there are ridges, the mouth of the ridge may be much wider. After all, they have to put down their bear paws. In this way, although there are trees here and there, although they look messy, they are actually quite orderly.
At least there is no confusion. They are all the same vegetable species that are easier to harvest when harvested together.
This piece of land covers seven or eight acres, all of which are planted with vegetables. After the harvest, there will be enough food for a long time.
Qingyan walked around the vegetable garden, her food was gone, and her stomach was no longer so bloated, so she returned to the yard.
Seeing that Chou Chou was still in the rocking chair, he picked him up, put him on his belly, and sat with him.
By the way, I poured myself a glass of grape juice on the table. It is freshly squeezed from grapes and has not been fermented, so it tastes better.
After all, if it is fermented, less sugar will be added, and it will only have a sour taste and a wine taste without sweetness. To be honest, she doesn't really like drinking that kind of wine.
Like when she was at home before, when she and her mother drank wine, they always had to mix it with Sprite. Basically, one-third of the wine had to be mixed with two-thirds of Sprite, so that it would taste smooth to her, so this kind of freshly squeezed grape juice is more delicious. It suits her taste.
After a night's rest, we had breakfast early the next day and went out to continue our journey.
I eat rice porridge and cucumbers for breakfast. As for other vegetables, I will fry them and eat them when I find a place to rest at noon. It is better to eat lighter in the morning.
After coming out of the space, she returned her consciousness to the Xingtang Mansion. She was not far away and could now see the outer city.
She was still a little curious about what happened to Chen Shijin, but she found that there was no trace of Chen Shijin in the small inn before.
Qingyan frowned and looked around, but found no one. Could it be that the other person left in the middle of the night?
In this way, she had nowhere to look. Forget it, since she couldn't find it, she stopped looking. After all, who doesn't have their own secrets?
It's just a passer-by who met by chance. There is no need to pay too much attention to him. There is no guarantee that he will meet him in the future.
Qingyan sighed, then got on the carriage and continued heading south.
Xiaohong has already set up the car in the space, and can leave immediately after coming out.
As you go further south, although the temperature gets a little higher, it's actually not that high. There should be extremely cold weather this year, so the temperature is generally much lower than in previous years.
Fortunately, there is no snow here. Although it is cold, it is dry and cold. The wind is also much lighter, with winds of level 2 or 3 at most, which will not cause headaches like before.
However, don’t think that since there is no snow on the road, it will be easier to walk than before. No, it will be worse.
Because the soil on the road was frozen and hard, especially the ravines that had been run over by cars before, it made the road bumpy and bumpy.
It's not as good as when there is snow. With the thick snow to absorb shock, the walking is smoother. Now when walking on the road, these wooden wheels seem to fall apart at any time. Not to mention how uncomfortable it is in the car.
So Qingyan couldn't stay in the car at all, so she might as well catch the car outside and look at the surrounding scenery to distract her attention.
Throughout the morning, she passed through many villages and towns, as well as a county town, but she didn't go in. Anyway, there was no shortage of supplies.
As for what new things are inside, you can see them just by scanning them with your spiritual consciousness. There is no need to go in and take a look around.
Moreover, the towns in the north are all very similar, with almost the same layout. Now she still wants to go to the south to take a look. The customs, customs and architecture there are definitely much different from here.
The scenery in the south should also be better than here, at least there should be green on the mountains.
