"Lan'er, didn't you say you wanted to learn how to read? Let me teach you!" Qin Shuyu couldn't help but say.

"Really, thank you brother." Qin Lan looked at Qin Shuyu with a wide smile.

"Well, aren't you very interested in "Shan Hai Jing", I will take this book to teach you how to read for the time being, and I will teach you how to write when you settle down at night?" Qin Shuyu said lightly, and sat down while talking. By Qin Lan's side.

"Xuefei, can I use this book first?" Qin Shuyu turned to look at Mu Xuefei and asked.

"Of course." Mu Xuefei smiled and took the book from Mu Han and handed it to Qin Shuyu.

"Yeah, brother, shall we start now?" Qin Lan nodded excitedly and asked curiously.

"Well, take the book and read it. I'll read it word by word. You read the words first." Qin Shuyu said and handed the book to Qin Lan.

"Brother, don't you use books?" Qin Lan took the book and asked.

"Well, are you ready? If we're ready, we'll start." Qin Shuyu replied.

"Brother, it's time to start." Qin Lan said in a crisp voice.

"Let's start with the title of the book. You first recognize the three characters of Shan Hai Jing." Qin Shuyu said.

"En." Qin Lan looked at the three large characters on the cover seriously.

At the beginning, Mu Xuefei was still interested in watching the teaching pictures of the two brothers and sisters, but as time went by, she also lost interest and simply closed her eyes to rest her mind.

On the other hand, Mu Han didn't care about being deprived of the right to tell stories, and took out his own notebook and read it with relish.

"Everyone, get out of the car!" Li Escort's voice came as promised.

"Okay, Lan'er, let's go here first." Qin Shuyu said.

"Okay." Qin Lan replied weakly, now that she has passed the excitement stage, the only feeling now is that she is finally relieved.

"Finally we can get out of the car." Mu Xuefei said, rubbing her neck just after waking up.

"Hey, Brother Mu, wake up, we're here, Brother Mu..." Qin Lan shouted when he saw Mu Han who was sleeping soundly.

"Sister Lan'er, what's the matter?...Then let's go down quickly." Mu Han said in a daze.

"We will settle here tonight, as usual, we will gather tomorrow morning." Li Escort said succinctly.

"It's already you hour!" Mu Han sighed as he got off the carriage.

The four of them stood in the distance and watched Escort Li in the middle speak. After listening to this, Mu Xuefei felt that Escort Li probably didn't want to say anything unnecessary.

"Let's go, settle down first before going to eat." Qin Shuyu reminded.

"Mmm," Mu Xuefei said.

"Okay!" Qin Lan said happily.

A group of four people walked into the inn, and Xiaoer, who was receiving other guests, took the time to ask the four of them, "Isn't the four of you staying at the top or staying at the inn?"

"Tip." Mu Han replied.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Xiao Er replied and continued to receive guests.

"It seems that we are one step late." Mu Han regretted that he was one step late.

"The four of you have been waiting for a long time, please follow me to the counter." The waiter hurried over after finishing his work, apologizing to the four of them.

"There are only medium-sized rooms left in our store. I don't know how many rooms the four want." The shopkeeper at the counter said with a smile.

"We want two rooms for one night," Mu Han said first.

"Good guest, twenty Wen as a deposit." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Qin Shuyu took out twenty coins and put them on the counter. Mu Han, who was taking out the money, paused and said, "Quickly count the money, isn't it right?"

When the shopkeeper counted the money, he took out two room cards from under the counter and put them on the counter and said, "Please keep the room cards."

Mu Han picked up the room card casually, and the waiter at the side watched the four of them complete the formalities and said enthusiastically, "Please come here, four, I will take the four to the room."

"These two rooms are for four people. I don't know if the guests have any other needs. If not, I will leave first." Xiaoer said quickly.

"Just bring us some hot water." Mu Han replied aloud.

"Okay." Xiao Er retreated respectfully.

"Let's put down our luggage quickly and go down to eat after washing up." Mu Han suggested.

"Okay, then you two will sleep in the room next door, and the two of us will sleep here." Mu Xuefei was too lazy to move, and adopted the principle of the nearest.

"It's all the same, then I'll put my luggage first." Mu Han opened the door next door and said.

"Shu Yu, you can also go and put your luggage, and come back after washing up." Mu Xuefei said seeing that Qin Shuyu hadn't moved yet.

"Well, call me if you need something." Qin Shuyu finished speaking and walked to the next door.

"Lan'er, let's go in too." Mu Xuefei opened the door and said.

"Okay." Qin Lan said.

The two walked into the room with their luggage and looked around. The room was very simple, with a bed, a table and a bench, and a washstand near the door with a washbasin and a wash towel on it.

Putting the luggage on the ground next to the bed, the two of them sat on the stool and rested.

"Finally, I don't have to feel the swaying of the carriage." Mu Xuefei sighed.

"Yes! Sister-in-law, I'm tired." Qin Lan also said.

"After washing up and having dinner, let's go to bed early!" Mu Xuefei said.

"It's okay if you don't talk about it. I feel hungry when I talk about it." Qin Lan said embarrassedly, clutching her stomach.

"Guest, here comes the hot water." Xiaoer knocked on the door and said.

"Here we come." Mu Xuefei opened the door and took the hot water as a thank you.

"Okay, Lan'er, wash first." Mu Xuefei said to Qin Lan.

"Sister-in-law, then I won't be polite." Qin Lan went back to wash up.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, you can wash up!" Qin Lan said, wiping her cheeks.

"Okay, here we come." Mu Xuefei stood up and responded.

After the two of them finished cleaning up, they were about to go to see if the two people next door had finished washing, so Qin Shuyu knocked on the door outside and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Okay, let's go now." Mu Xuefei replied, and the two opened the door and walked out.

As soon as the four of them came downstairs to the lobby, Xiaoer greeted immediately after seeing them, "Do you need anything, the four guests?"

"Let's come down for dinner, I don't know what special dishes you guys have here." Mu Han asked.

"You are asking. Although the taste of our restaurant is not as good as those big restaurants outside, it is very special. Because our chef is from the south, so he knows some southern dishes." Xiaoer said modestly.

"Oh! What kind of dishes are there? Honey sauce fire party, roast party, lion's head, beggar chicken, fire saddle bridge, squirrel mandarin fish, salted duck, stewed chicken fu, green snail shrimp, cherry meat, female oil boat duck, rotten Paste, stewed chestnut chicken, water shield and whitebait soup, Wansan hoof, squid eel paste, Jinxiang cake, Liangxi crispy eel, Soviet-style sauced meat and sauced duck?" After listening to Xiaoer, Mu Han said, His eyes lit up, and he said in a dying voice while reporting the name of the dish.

Mu Xuefei looked at Mu Han with a dark face and then at the stunned Xiao Er, thinking to herself who is the guest and who is the Xiao Er?
"The guest is really sorry, there are none of these." Xiaoer said with a embarrassed face.

"Then what do you guys have?" Mu Han said discouragedly like a punctured puffer fish.

"West Lake Vinegar Fish, Dry Fried Bell, West Lake Brasenia Vegetable Soup, Hupao Vegetarian Hot Pot, Hangzhou Stewed Chicken, Stewed Meat with Dried Vegetables, Beggar's Chicken, Crispy Braised Meat, Lotus Root Filled with Honey Sauce." Xiao Er finally found some confidence , neatly reported the name of the dish.

"Everything is a staple food... By the way, do you have anything else you want to eat? Steamed buns or rice?" Mu Han waved his hand and said proudly. Although it is not a home-cooked dish, it can also be used to express comfort .

"Cousin, do you really want to order so many?" Mu Xuefei looked at the development of such a drama and asked suspiciously.

"Yes! Brother Mu." Qin Lan said with a dumbfounded expression.

"Xuefei, Lan'er, brother Mu may be borrowing food to relieve his homesickness, you two can help him, I just want steamed buns." Qin Shuyu said lightly.

"It's my sister-in-law who understands me." Mu Han excitedly patted Qin Shuyu's shoulder twice.

Seeing this, Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan didn't have much to say, they just reported the staple food they wanted to eat.

"...Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment." Xiaoer came back to his senses amidst the conversation between the four of them. He had never seen such a generous guest. Clicked?Be sure to ask more next time, what else will the chef cook, maybe it will be used next time!
When Xiao Er retreated, Mu Han also recovered from the frenzy just now and said, "You guys should eat more later."

What can Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan say?He could only respond with a smirk.

And Qin Shuyu, one of the parties involved, replied, "What my cousin said is true."

"Guest officer, the dry fried bell and water shield soup from the West Lake are here. We have to wait for the rest. Our chef said he wanted to meet you later! The chef said that he finally met a fellow villager." Xiaoer's face was bright. laughed.

"Really? Then I must meet you later." Mu Han said happily.

"Okay, I'll go and tell the chef later, so that you two fellow villagers can catch up on the old days." Xiaoer stepped back with a smile.

Mu Xuefei could see clearly in this moment, the younger brother's smile changed from a professional fake smile to ecstatic and then to a sincere smile, the cousin is still really amazing!Let the little second brother experience such complicated emotions in this short period of time.

"Guest officer, your West Lake Vinegar Fish, Hupao Su Huo, Hangzhou Stewed Chicken, Stewed Meat with Dried Vegetables, Beggar's Chicken, Crispy Braised Meat, Lotus Root Vegetables with Honey Sauce are here, and the main dishes are also available, please eat slowly. "The little second brother said with a smile, and the other little twos who helped serve the dishes looked at the four of them curiously.

"Thank you very much." Mu Han thanked him with a natural smile.

"Okay, let's eat!" Mu Han urged.

"Okay." Mu Xuefei looked at the table full of delicacies.

"En." Qin Lan nodded and looked at the dishes on the table that he had never seen before, and looked forward to it.

"I'm full, it's delicious! I must go see the chef later." Mu Han put down his chopsticks and leaned back on the chair with a satisfied face.

"It's indeed different from the dishes here, sweet and sour." Qin Lan rubbed her stomach quietly and said.

"Yes!" Mu Xuefei replied with nostalgia.

"Thanks to Brother Mu's hospitality, we were able to eat delicious food." Qin Shuyu said calmly.

"Why must my sister-in-law be so polite? Let's go out later to digest food, I feel so full." Mu Han said without moving.

"Okay!" Mu Xuefei also felt that she was a little bit full.

"Yes." Qin Shuyu replied.

"Okay." Qin Lan said.

"Xiao Er pays the bill." Mu Han sat up and waved.

"Come on, the guest officer has a total of three taels of silver." The younger brother just now looked at the table full of empty plates with a stunned expression. He really didn't expect that the four people actually ate them all.

"Okay, I'll charge you five taels of silver in total, and I'll give you some change right away." The second brother straightened his expression and said with a bright smile.

"This is your change, please keep it." The younger brother handed it to Mu Hanyin with enthusiasm.

"Thank you, wait a minute, I want to know if there is any place to go shopping nearby." Mu Han asked after collecting the money.

"We are just a small town here, and there is nothing special about it. Our street is the main street of the town. You can turn left when you go out, and just walk along the street. But now it's getting late and almost all the shops are closed." Xiao Er thought for a while and said.

"Thank you." Mu Han thanked him.

"Let's go." Mu Han stood up and said.

The four of them left the inn and found that there were still lights on both sides of the street, and there were some roadside vendors.

"It doesn't seem too late." Mu Xuefei said.

"It's already Xu time." Qin Shuyu said after looking at the sky.

The four of them walked all the way listening to the yelling, and there were some snacks and small items sold on the street.

"It's a pity that I can't eat anymore." Mu Xuefei regretted smelling the sweet smell.

"Why don't we go back." Qin Shuyu suggested.

"Okay! It's torture to be able to see but not to eat." Mu Xuefei agreed.

The four of them walked back slowly, and when they got back to the inn and were about to go up to the second floor, Mu Han suddenly said, "Go back to your room first, I'll meet that chef."

"Okay." Mu Xuefei replied.

"Brother Mu, remember to go back to the room to rest earlier." Qin Lan reminded.

"I see, sister Lan'er." Mu Han said with a smile on his face.

"Lan'er, I think it's still early, why don't I teach you how to write." Qin Shuyu said without refusal.

"Here we come, brother." Qin Lan replied.

The three walked all the way to the door of Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan's room, Qin Shuyu said aloud, "I'll go to the room to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and come over later."

"Sister-in-law, I find it difficult to read characters." Qin Lan said while sitting on a stool in the room.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will be easy after you learn it. Think about it, you can read the books you want to read and write the stories you want to write." Mu Xuefei comforted.

"That's right, I can't be overwhelmed by this little difficulty." Qin Lan finally raised his spirits.

"Come in!" Mu Xuefei stood up and opened the door.

"Lan'er, let's get started!" Qin Shuyu said after placing pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and sitting down.

"I'll teach you the posture of holding the brush first, and you pay attention to my gestures." After Qin Shuyu demonstrated, he handed the brush to Qin Lan.

"Now try to write again." Qin Shuyu said to Qin Lan after demonstrating on the paper.

"Pay attention to the strength on your wrist." Qin Shuyu looked at the words written by Qin Lan.

"Lan'er, you get better every time you practice." Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Lan's words and encouraged her.
