Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 34 The Three Goat Station

The capital of slippery country.

On the banks of the Leshui River outside the city, passenger ships, cruise ships, and merchant ships pass by, and occasionally you can see painted boats with carved beams and painted buildings passing by.

Today, a large official ship came up the Leshui River.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the pier ahead, marveling at the ingenuity and exquisiteness of ancient architectural craftsmanship.

Behind her were three people, Fang Meiya, Wu Yong and Zhong Qian.

More than half a month ago, Lin Xiaoxiao and the villagers felt uneasy when they learned that Zheng Guo was going to send a mission to Hua Guo, and decided to move again after discussion.

After discussing with the village head and elders, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to relocate in three batches.

The first batch was Lin Xiaoxiao, Fang Meiya, Wu Yong, and Zhong Qian. They joined Gongshugou's business team and went south to find a suitable new residence.

When they have found a place, Wu Yong will return to Yemang Mountain and bring the second batch of young adults over.After they build the house, they will send people back to pick up the old, young, women and weak.

"This is the capital?" Fang Meiya stared around.She was originally from the Hu country, but she had never been to the capital of the Hu country, and she came to the capital of the Hua country before she came here first.

"I haven't arrived yet. Go ashore from here and take a car for another mile to reach the capital." Zhong Qian said.

Zhongqian's family was originally a merchant. When he was in Hu country, he had no conditions and could only farm. After coming to Hua country, he returned to his old business.

Zhong Qian has been to the capital twice.

Gong Shugou walked over from the cabin.He had just been summoned by Ji An, the steward of Jicheng City Lord's Mansion.

"What's Ji'an's plan?"

"He said that the business team can't enter the city for the time being, and they have to live in Sanyangyi first."

Since each city had to contribute goods to the capital, there were not so many places in the capital for these business teams to live temporarily, so the officials first let these business teams live in Sanyangyi not far from the capital.

Five days later, the officials will hold a selection meeting in Sanyangyi, and select a batch of high-quality goods from the goods sent by each city. Only these high-quality goods are eligible to be selected by the Zheng Guo envoy.

To sum it up, Hua Nation should first conduct a preliminary selection of the things sent up below, and pick out the best ones before letting Zheng Guo choose, so as not to lose Hua Nation's face.

"Sanyang Station?" Zhong Qian said, "Sanyang Station is twenty miles away from the capital, and the business team used to estimate that it would take a day to get there."

Lin Xiaoxiao has no experience.Their trip was more arranged by Zhong Qian.

"Uncle Zhong, do you think we leave the trade team and go directly to the capital, or continue to act with the trade team?"

"Let's go directly to Sanyangyi," Zhong Qian said, "We are looking for a place that is unoccupied and suitable for living. There is no such place around the capital. We have to go to a place farther away."

Lin Xiaoxiao read the map of Huaguo silently in her heart.

Walking along Leshui in the past half month, most of the map of Huaguo has been presented.

According to the signs on the map, there are still some hills on both sides of Leshui that have no owner, but the hills near the capital are marked with the name of the village, which means that someone has already occupied them.

Gongshu Gou agreed with Zhong Qian: "I'm not familiar with the place, so it's safer to be with the business team."

The ship docked, and everyone unloaded the goods from the ship, and then loaded them into the goat cart prepared by the government.

Not only the business team from Jicheng, but also the business team from Lincheng next door were on board their ship.

We formed a group and rented this big boat to deliver the goods.A total of more than a dozen local specialties and novelties were brought.

Gongshugou came here this time with three wooden bicycles on the surface, but in fact Lin Xiaoxiao still has a few spare ones in his warehouse.

Gongshugou made some improvements to the bicycles, one of which was a tandem bicycle suggested by Lin Xiaoxiao.

Due to the large amount of goods, the hired sheep carts were not enough, so two more sheep carts were temporarily added.

By the time they set off for Sanyang Station, an hour had passed.The convoy rested for a while on the way, and it was almost dark when they arrived at Sanyangyi.

There are already people living in Sanyangyi, and they are business teams from other cities.

Because the business team will live in later, the accommodation arranged by the post station for everyone is relatively compact.

All people from one city live in one yard.If you don't want to live, you can add money to change to a better single room.

Lin Xiaoxiao and the others must be reluctant to spend more money, and the ones from the mountains are not so delicate.

There were few girls in the Jicheng business team, so they arranged to live in the same room.

The room is a Datong shop, only bedding and pillows, nothing else.

Fortunately, the house is relatively clean, so it's not too uncomfortable to live in.And now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the weather is not so hot, and it doesn't matter if many people live together.

There is a public well in the post station, and you can fetch water yourself.There is hot water in the kitchen, which is free.But meals have to be ordered and paid for by yourself.

Lin Xiaoxiao and his party were reluctant to spend an extra coin.

Because there were always outsiders around, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to take things out of the warehouse, and all they ate along the way were the millet cakes they brought with them.

It's been half a month and everyone's food is just enough, now that they're living in a post station, shouldn't they improve the food?
Lin Xiaoxiao was hesitating when she saw Zhang Ping coming to look for them.

Gongshugou only brought Zhang Ping to join the business team this time.

On the one hand, Lin Xiaoxiao and the others took up the quota, and on the other hand, everything was arranged by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, and craftsmen like them only had to obey orders.

It is very likely that these craftsmen did not even have the opportunity to show their faces.

"Shan Nu, Steward Ji'an asked the inn to prepare a banquet. My master and the others have been called over. The rest of us can also go to the kitchen to get a meal. Steward Ji'an has already been able to pay the bill."

It's nice to have someone to treat you to.

The food at the post station is not bad, there are vegetables, meat and soup, and the only staple food is still millet cake.

Lin Xiaoxiao sniffed the millet cake in her hand, as if she smelled a familiar smell.Take a bite and savor it carefully, and you can feel the feeling of eating shallots.

It has been almost three years since I came to this era, and the various seasonings in Lin Xiaoxiao's warehouse have basically bottomed out.Onions and garlic have been eaten long ago, and no substitutes have been found.

Lin Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to inquire, only to find out that "cai bo" was added to the millet cake.

"This is Caibo, produced in Tancheng. It was delivered yesterday. It's fresh."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled when she saw it.

This cabbage is the southern chives of later generations.

"Uncle, what a dish, how did you sell it?"

"Are you from the north? If you want to buy it, I can sell it to you one by one."

One cloth coin? !Why not grab it? !

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head and walked away.Although she really wanted to hoard some chives, she was not being taken advantage of.

The post station can add chives to the millet cake to enhance the flavor, which means that this kind of chives should be worthless outside.

It is estimated that the cook deceived Lin Xiaoxiao because an outsider wanted to blackmail her, so he deliberately charged a high price.

The person mentioned Tan Cheng just now, so it is estimated that these chives are produced in Tan Cheng.

When she is free in the future, Lin Xiaoxiao will definitely go to Tan Cheng.
