Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

After buying the Luban stool, they went to the next door to the carpenter's shop. There was a wine shop. The shop was filled with large vats of wine. The aroma of wine could be smelled from a distance.

Of course, the aroma of the wine does not come from the wine vat, but behind the wine shop is their brewing workshop, and the rich aroma of the wine wafts from the workshop at the back.

I don’t know if the glutinous rice is being steamed, but the aroma of the wine is mixed with the strong aroma of rice. It smells particularly good, and I feel a little tipsy even before I drink it.

After they entered the store, they discovered that the rows of large vats on the floor were all of the same kind of wine. They were not arranged by degrees like in later generations. They were just containers for storing orange wine.

There are also jars of different sizes placed on a row of wooden shelves against the wall. The jars are all empty and have no seals. They should be used for packaging for guests.

The largest one seems to be 20 pounds each, and there are also ten-pound, five-pound, and even small jars of one pound each. It depends on how much you want to buy, and they can be put directly into the jar for you.

Qingyan thought that they couldn't buy too much on the surface. After all, they had to consider whether the car could fit in it. If they couldn't carry it back, they could ask the clerk from the liquor store to deliver it, but they couldn't use the entire carriage to hold the bar. How to explain where the things went?

They can wait until Chou Chou and the others come over to buy it. At that time, Chou Chou and Jin Yang can directly drive a bullock cart to buy it, and they can receive it directly in the space after leaving the town.

So they discussed it and each bought a jar weighing twenty kilograms. Qingyan and the others bought two jars. She held one jar of gold and another jar, while Yuanbao let it walk underground by itself.

Anyway, there is only such a short distance in the town. There are not many people walking on the street now, and there are lanterns at the door of the shops on both sides. It is no problem for Yuanbao to walk by himself.

It's not that Yuanbao can't walk on its own. After all, it's a monster. How could that happen? It's just that its current image is that of a baby. It's too small. Others will find it strange when they see it.

Others would think it was inappropriate for such a small child to run on the ground by itself, so Qingyan often held it, just to show it to others.

Besides, with her strength, it would be no problem for her to hold a child in one hand and the jar in the other. However, the jar was a bit big, and holding it and Yuanbao at the same time would not look right for Qingyan's small body, so she let Yuanbao walk by himself underneath.

Chen Jinshi and the four of them also bought a jar of 20 kilograms each, considering that there was really no room to put it in the car.

Especially Xia Xinman and Xiao Qingfeng, there are so many goods in the car, the twenty-pound jar has to be placed next to them, and it has to be tied up with rope and hemp rope, otherwise it will be all over the place when the road is bumpy. Rolls off easily.

Chen Jinshi and Uncle Chen also held a jar of wine each, and the Luban stool asked the wine shop owner to tie it with a hemp rope and put it on his shoulders.

There are a lot of things in Chen Jinshi's carriage, but it's okay to squeeze two jars into it. After all, Chen Jinshi usually sits in the carriage and goes to the town to stay at an inn every night. He doesn't sleep on the carriage, so it's okay. It's quite spacious, so it's no problem to store more stuff.

Not to mention Qingyan and the others. If it weren't for giving people the impression that there are a lot of things in the car, they would all want to buy more to put on it. The main reason is that they often take things out of the space and use the carriage as a cover. , so don’t go too far.

After buying these things, Qingyan and the others really had nothing to hold. They had six Luban stools, which were tied up with ropes and hung on Huang Jin's shoulders, so they couldn't buy anything else. After getting their things, they went back to the inn directly.

Fortunately, the inn is not far away. The tavern is only about 200 meters away from the inn, and the carpenter's shop and the wine shop are between the tavern and the inn, so there is only about 100 meters left. It doesn't take long to get there. .

The distance of several hundred meters, coupled with the time spent shopping, was just enough time to eat up the food.

The main reason is that when I encounter something I don’t like, it feels like it’s sitting in my heart. If I encounter something delicious, I feel as if my stomach is bigger. But when I encounter something unpalatable, I feel full after one bite, so I Need to eat.

When they returned to the inn lobby, they found that there were still a lot of people in the lobby. Of course, it was still early, mainly because even after eating and shopping, it was actually not even before eight o'clock.

At this time, the people in the hotel lobby had almost finished their meals. Some had already finished eating, but the leftovers on the table had not been cleared away. They were all chatting in the lobby.

I guess I'm not in a hurry to go back to my room. After all, there was no entertainment in ancient times. It took a lot of effort for these people to chat together and get to know each other. Maybe they can expand some contacts or something.

Seeing Qingyan and the others carrying a large jar each, and Jin and the others with Luban stools hanging on their bodies, everyone in the lobby looked over at the door and stopped chatting. For a moment, the people in the lobby It was a lot quieter.

Qingyan and the others didn't think it was anything. They didn't mean to go upstairs to the room with the wine jar and Luban stool. Instead, they wanted to go through the lobby to the backyard where the livestock was kept, and put their things in the carriage first.

The external door to the backyard has been closed to prevent anyone from entering from the outside. There will be many cars inside, and there will be many goods on the cars. If something is lost, the people at the inn will not be able to explain it.

So I locked it at night, thinking that in the past I could only go through the inn lobby, and the backyard was watched by a special guy, firstly to prevent things from being lost, and secondly to take care of the animals, help add fodder and feed them. Water or something.

It was completely dark now, but luckily there was an oil lamp over there at the barn. There are also lanterns lit in the carriage, so there is no problem seeing.

The backyard has lights on all night long. There can't be no light in the yard, otherwise thieves who come in won't be able to see it, so there are still some lighting facilities.

When Qingyan and the others arrived at the backyard, the boy was feeding the cows in the cowshed on the right. The troughs and water troughs in the stable on the left were full. They should have finished feeding the horses first and then fed the cows.

The waiter was a young man in his twenties. When he saw Qingyan and her group approaching, he stopped what he was doing and hurriedly greeted them.

The clerk was still impressed by this group of people. Looking at the things they were holding in their hands, he knew that they were putting things in and out of the carriage. After saying hello, they went about their own business.

It's not that he doesn't want to help take things from customers, after all, good service attitude is also the secret to retaining repeat customers.

But under normal circumstances, they cannot just pick up things from guests. If it is something precious and it is accidentally damaged, it will be troublesome to compensate according to the price.

So normally, when customers need help, they ask the waiters to come over to help, and they will go there, and usually there will be some rewards after such help is completed. It’s rare for a waiter to come and help for free, so they generally won’t take the initiative to come forward without being called by the customer to avoid misunderstanding.

Qingyan and Huanghuang walked to their carriage with Yuanbao. Qingyan put the wine jar on the ground, took out a brass key from her pocket, and opened the small brass lock on the carriage.

Then he put the two jars of wine and the Luban stool into the carriage, and then locked the carriage door again.

Chen Jinshi and Uncle Chen did the same as them, while Xia Xinman and Xiao Qingfeng tied the two jars of wine to the shaft of the car with hemp rope and fixed it so that they could leave directly tomorrow without any further trouble.

After doing this, they returned to the lobby in front. In just a short time, one-third of the people in the lobby were missing. Some of the remaining people were still drinking together, while others were sitting and had been cleaned up. chatting at the table.

It was already past the meal time, so the shopkeeper and the waiter didn't let anyone leave the table to make it available for others. If it was the meal time and there were people waiting to eat, they would definitely not let these people sit here.

Chen Jinshi said that he wanted to sit down there for a while, and they could go back to the room to rest first. Qingyan and Huang Jinshi looked at each other and said, "We can't sleep even if we go back now, so let's sit down there for a while."

Listen to what these people are saying to see if you can hear some useful news. Chen Jinshi wants to expand his network. After all, his family is in the medicinal materials business. If he can meet someone to buy medicinal materials, Businessmen have one more avenue.

Xia Xinman and Xiao Qingfeng just told them and went back to their rooms to rest. After all, they were different from Chen Jinshi and Qingyan. They drove all the way by themselves without even a replacement.

Chen Jinshi also asked Uncle Chen to rest first. He was riding in the car all the way and could even sleep for a while. He was not sleepy at all at this time.

Huang Jin and Yuan Bao became more energetic as night went on. Although at this point, if Yuan Bao was a little baby of this age, he should go to bed. However, Yuan Bao is not a human being, so Qingyan didn't say anything and just held Yuan Bao in her arms. Sitting with Huang Jinshi and Chen Jinshi.

However, they didn't just sit and chat like others. Instead, they ordered some tea and snacks. Qingyan and the others didn't eat much before, but they felt full mentally, but in fact their stomachs were still empty.

Of course, Chen Jinshi was the same, so they sat at the table and listened to the chatter of the people around them. Occasionally they would chat with someone who was interested, while drinking tea and wiping out all the snacks on the plate. .

Not to mention, before going to bed, Chen Jinshi had actually negotiated a deal. There was a medicinal materials merchant who came from Hubei specifically to go to Tonggu County to collect Polygonatum.

Tonggu County is the origin of Polygonatum japonica and is well-known far and near. It is not just the Chen family that owns the Polygonatum odorifera collected from the mountains and sells it. If people come to the county, they may not know who to buy it from. It happened to be Chen Jinshi. I cut off my beard.

He told the other party the address of his shop, and also guaranteed that the quality and price would be absolutely fair. It would not be said that it was the lowest in the county, but it would definitely be the most reasonable price for the same quality.

After all, if the price is really low, then the quality cannot be guaranteed.

They also agreed on a time to go on the same road tomorrow, and then they went back to their room to rest.

Qingyan and the others don't care. Anyway, it doesn't make any difference if they have one more person traveling with them. If they walk for another day tomorrow, they will almost reach Tonggu County in the evening. Even if they are not invited, they must still be traveling with them. It's just a difference between knowing them and not knowing them. That’s all.

After returning to the room, Qingyan and Huanghuang did not rest, but took Yuanbao directly back to her space.

I'm going to wash up inside before coming out. I don't know how long it will take to wait for hot water in the inn at this time. It's not convenient to just have a room. It's better to be in a space.

After washing up, I ate something more. I wasn't very hungry even though I had some snacks and tea, so I needed to eat more, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Qingyan's space is not kept fresh, otherwise the elixirs and other medicines left before will not be invalidated, so they can only make them fresh.

But because at night, the Qingyan space can only be illuminated by oil lamps or spiritual stones. Unlike the Jinyang space, because it is the sun itself, it can light up the space at any time. It is also not like the dark winter in the Chouchou space. of.

There is quite enough spiritual energy in this space, and the spiritual energy in the spirit stone will not be directly swallowed up. There is no problem in using it for lighting.

Qingyan and Huang Huang directly heated up the beggar's chicken that they had cooked before, and then heated up six sesame seed cakes, two for each person. There was nothing they could do, the three of them had quite big appetites, and they actually ate leisurely every time they ate out. Yes, try not to let others be too surprised when they see it.

This sesame seed cake is not the small sesame seed cake that is no bigger than a palm in later generations, but a big sesame seed cake as big as a face. They bought it in the northwest before, and Chou Chou has always kept it in its space. It is very fresh. Just like new ones.

They were going to be separated for a few days, so they put a basket in Qingyan's space for emergency use.

Because the bamboo building had not yet been completed, people could not live in the space, so they had to go out after eating and washing up.

Even when washing, she didn't just take a nice hot bath, she just scrubbed her. Qingyan ran to the back of the rockery to wash it, and then the ingot and gold were on the other side, so that she couldn't see them from either side.

There are several wooden basins in the space, and there is also ready-made water in the pool. Just put the fire spirit stone under it and the water will be hot. There is no need to boil hot water.

After eating and washing, they returned to the inn room. They still remembered what Chou Chou said before about Jin Yang going to the Silent Bamboo Forest at night to break the formation and release the snake demon.

They had been paying attention to that side when they were in the lobby before, but they didn't notice Jin Yang passing by. They thought there must be a time limit and it might be a little later.

The Silent Bamboo Forest is no more than twenty miles away from Gaoqiao Town, so Qingyan's consciousness is still within reach.
