Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 547 Chapter 540 Six: Northbound
The morning sun breaks through the sky, splitting out layers of light.

The carriage slowly drove to the right on Shangguan Road, and after a while, three tea sheds came into view, followed by the Songshan Inn.

The dawn came earlier, and the tea shed started working earlier, and the steamer sitting on the fire was steaming.

Flipping the big spoon in Chen's hand, he was stirring the mung bean porridge that was sizzling on another stove.

Yuan Hua was kneading the dough.

Ma Liang took a rag and wiped clean the tables and stools that had just been moved out.

And here, Tao Dongcheng is cleaning the carriage shed seriously.

On the corridor of the inn, Tao Dongping was cleaning the doors and windows with a rag.

Everyone is busy with what they are doing, and they are having a great time.

The carriage stopped beside the tea shed, and Du Chuanfu, who was driving the carriage, jumped out of the seat, turned around and lifted the curtain so that Song Qiu and Ah Ling could get out of the carriage.

Over there, Ma Liang saw them and asked the girls one by one.

Song Qiu went to the tea shed and said, "Ma Liang is here, where is Uncle Meng?"

Hearing the sound, Ma Liang replied, "I went shopping with shopkeeper Tao, and I think I'll be back soon."

"I'm going to go on my way today, and he got up in the middle of the night?"

Song Qiu smiled, sat down in the tea shed, greeted Yuan Hua and his wife, and said, "Second Cousin, what do you have in the tea shed today?"

Mrs. Chen responded from behind the counter, "Today, there are steamed buns and mung bean porridge, noodles and hot and sour noodles, cold shrimps and fermented glutinous rice, and jelly, but right now the steamed buns are fresh and not yet steamed Okay, the porridge isn’t ready yet, the noodles are being mixed, and the ice cubes haven’t been bought yet, Aqiu Aling, do you eat hot and sour noodles or jelly?”

After hearing this, Song Qiu said, "It's still early, it's not bright yet, don't be in a hurry to eat breakfast, we'll have it later when we arrive at Baishui Town."

It's still early here, I ate so early, I should be hungry before noon.

"That's it!"

Mrs. Chen said so, but her hands were sloppy with the jelly that Song Qiu specially drew and asked the blacksmith to make. With three or two scrapes, a bowl of jelly was scraped out, and the seasoning was mixed with it.

Then bring it to Song Qiu, "Aqiu, try it, our tea shed has been sold for several days, see if the taste of my mixture is okay?"

The condiments are all prepared by Song Qiu, just look at the taste of the mixture.

There is not much jelly with two chopsticks, and I can eat it later.

Song Qiu took the chopsticks, tasted it, and then nodded, "Okay, just mix it like this, but some people may not like sweet and sour taste, so remember to ask when you mix it."

Chen nodded, "Hey! I remember it!"

Ah Ling took a bowl to eat, she has a big appetite, this bowl is not worth the trouble.

Song Qiu just sat and watched her eat, while doing some homework with Yuan Hua who was kneading the dough.

"Cousin, how is Erping's marriage going?"

That day, before she talked about asking Ah Ling to learn how to deliver babies, her grandma first talked about what Erping said to Ah Ling.

Later she heard from her grandma that it was her second cousin Chen Shi who entrusted her grandma to Erping to find a girl in their village.

There are not many girls in their village who are the right age for Erping, and almost all of them are engaged or in love.

So she looked around and realized that Ah Ling's age was also suitable.

Of course, she helped Ah Ling to push, Ah Ling and Erping were not suitable.

Her grandma went back to her second cousin and said that there was no suitable one.

On the day of warming wine, my uncle and the others came to the house and had a rest all night. She had heard from her grandma that they seemed to have a good relationship with each other here.

Yuan Hua didn't know that the old Yuan family had mentioned A Ling, and A Ling himself didn't know about it. Only the old Yuan family and Song Qiu knew about it.

So now Yuan Hua looked at A Ling and didn't feel anything, and said with a smile: "It's from your cousin's natal village. The girl is about the same age as Erping. Erping's aunt gave her a matchmaker. Erping went to him. Grandfather's family went to visit, and brought him to see him once, just to see when the girl's family will come to visit the house, after seeing it, I guess it will be successful!"

Yuan Hua is not bragging, the current conditions of their Yuan family are really good, as long as the woman understands and visits, she will definitely be satisfied.

"Aqiu, how long will you be going this trip? I don't know if Erping's housekeeper has returned or not."

Song Qiu was also not sure, "You know, cousin, I have never traveled far, and I have never been to Qingping Mansion. I don't know the situation. This time I have to walk and watch to decide, so when will I come back? , it is not clear now."

For fear that her grandma would be worried, she told her grandma last night when she was free, no matter whether she found a suitable one or not, she would definitely come home first within a month at most.

Speaking of this moment, Tao Zheng and Meng Chaoqun, who got up in the middle of the night and went shopping in the town, also came back.

The inn buys ingredients every day. Before, I went to Ping An Daji every day because it was close, and then I went to the town every five days because I had everything.

But if you want to start using ice now, you have to go to the town to buy it every day.

Therefore, you have to get up earlier.

Otherwise, you won't be able to come back before you are busy preparing dishes.

Seeing Meng Chaoqun came back, Song Qiu hurriedly called him and Ma Liang to pick up the luggage.

After loading the luggage into the car, the party set off to the north under the watchful eyes of everyone in the inn.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning slowly poured down, and the Songshan River behind the carriage seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, shining brightly.

The carriage gradually drifted away, then turned a curve, and embarked on its first north journey.

……

From Songshan Village to Baishui Town, it was only a dozen miles away. The carriage traveled fast, and it didn't take long before entering Baishui Town.

Baishui Town is not big, only three squares, enter the town on the right and go to the center of the town, and the morning market street is on the left.

It's time to catch up with the morning market, and the pedestrians are yelling and selling, and it's very lively.

There, horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to enter, so Song Qiu asked Du Chuanfu to leave the carriage at the entrance of the morning market, and at a cost of three Wen, someone will guard it for you to ensure that the carriage is not lost.

Several people went to the morning market together.

All kinds of cries are heard endlessly, and the stalls are one after another, which makes people dazzled.

On both sides of the morning market, there are some stalls selling food, steamed buns, wontons, everything, and there are many people sitting and eating breakfast at each stall.

Song Qiu looked around and saw Zhou Shitou and the others.

Just go inside.

Vegetable sellers, chicken sellers, fish sellers, duck sellers, and all kinds of farm utensils.

At the end of the morning market, there are many food stalls, and there are also people sitting in every family.

At this moment, Song Qiu caught sight of Zhou Shitou, who was sweating profusely.

Then I saw the cloth banner hanging with Zhou Ji snacks, and below it was a stall cart connected to the stove, and the vermicelli was boiling in the pot on the stove.

On the table dotted with the buttocks of the car, there is an ice cream on the lower floor, and various seasonings on the table. Manju is holding a wooden ladle with a handle in one hand and a large spoon in the other, mixing jelly with his hands and feet.

There are four tables at the back of the booth, all of which are full at the moment.

Man Ju's younger brother Man Tun is serving a bowl of cooked hot and sour noodles to the guests.

There are also many women waiting in front of the booth with baskets with bowls in them.

Manju poured the mixed jelly into the bowl in front of her, and served it to the woman waiting in front of the stall.

"Sister, hold on tight, come back next time!"

The woman took it, gave the money, put it in a basket, and said with a smile: "Come here! Your jelly is delicious!"
