Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 406
Some sit and use their hands as fans to keep fanning the wind; some lie down and sleep with straw hats covering their faces.

Sweat rolled down to the ground and soon disappeared.

These people talked a few words from time to time, there was a deep sorrow that couldn't be resolved between their brows, but the distance was too far, Xiao Rongxi could only see their mouths opening and closing, and couldn't hear what they said clearly.

Nan Zhen washed her face with clean water and finally felt a little more comfortable. She sat down opposite Xiao Rongxi and said, "I didn't feel how hot I was in the woods just now, but now that I'm in the inn, it's like staying in a steamer."

The low table is not big, and when Xiao Rongxi fanned it, it could just bring the wind to her side.

But the wind is also hot.

Xiao Rongxi saw that she was moving forward, chuckled lightly, and stretched her arms a little, "Is this strength okay?"

"It's okay."

Nan Zhen replied with a smile, and wanted to speak again, but it happened that there was a knock on the door, so she threatened, "Come in."

Xiao Er gently pushed open the door, and swiftly put the cold drinks ordered by the two on the table, "Guests, this is freshly squeezed watermelon juice, chilled with water, it won't be hot after drinking."

There was no one in the inn recently, so he said a few more words, "It's hot here during the day, and it's cooler at night. I'll bring a cattail fan over later."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Nan Zhen picked up the cup and took a sip, it was cool and the sweetness was just right.

Seeing that Xiao Er was about to leave the room, she suddenly said, "Wait."

Xiao Er turned around and came back, "Is there anything else you want to order?"

"I've been on the road for several days in a row, but I haven't eaten well. I'm very hungry now. I don't know what signature dishes you have here. Let me make two or three dishes and send them over."

After hearing this, Xiao Er smiled, "There are quite a few signature dishes in the shop, but right now the vegetables are in short supply and the raw materials are not fully prepared. Is it okay if I let some in the kitchen vegetable cellar make a few for you?"

He was afraid that Nan Zhen would be unhappy, so he specifically said, "Don't worry, the taste must be very good."

"Go and order," Nan Zhen didn't make things difficult for him, "add more soup."

"okay."

Xiao Rongxi withdrew his attention from the window, turned to look at Xiaoer, "Is there such a shortage of vegetables in the inn?"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Er sighed, "Originally, we all purchased from the vegetable farmers in the surrounding villages, but this year there is little rain, and nothing can grow in the vegetable fields, so we have to keep our old snacks. Not for sale."

"If it is shipped from other places, the cost will be too high, and the income will not be able to make ends meet. In addition, there are few people staying at the top of the store recently, so the boss said that he will support the existing dishes and wait until this period is over. "

But God's matter, who can say for sure?
Maybe it will rain tomorrow, or maybe it won't rain for another month.

It is said that farmers eat by looking at the sky, but other people eat by looking at the harvest of farmers. This drought has affected the entire city.

Xiao Rongxi asked again, "If everyone can't eat, the government will definitely take care of it?"

I don't know the situation in Jincheng, whether it was delivered to the capital in time.

Xiao Er smiled, "We don't know anything about the government, so we dare not talk nonsense."

He stopped talking at the right time, "I'll go and order the kitchen to prepare the dishes first, and the two guests will wait a moment."

After Xiao Er went out, Xiao Rongxi turned his head again, and the people who had been enjoying the shade under the banyan tree had already left, and the street was empty, except for the noise of the hot wind.

There are few customers in the store, and the kitchen is very fast, and the dishes are ready in just two quarters of an hour.

Nan Zhen ate carefully, chatting with Xiao Rongxi from time to time, after half an hour, finally a breeze came.

She swallowed the last mouthful of soup, wiped her mouth, half-closed her eyes, with a satisfied face.

Xiao Rongxi put down his fan, shook his sore wrist, and asked, "Sleepy?"

"It's okay." Nan Zhen rubbed her eyes and faced out the window, "Bring some wind, and then I can wash up and sleep later."

At this moment, it was dusk, and there were slightly more pedestrians on the road, but it was still far from the lively scene as imagined.

Xiao Rongxi was going to ask Xiao Er to take away the leftovers, but he didn't expect that a commotion erupted in the street just as he got up, he listened carefully to the sound of messy footsteps, and finally heard the shouts in the distance——

"Bandits are coming!"

"Bandits are coming!"
