Rebirth Space: There Are Noble Women in the Nongmen

Chapter 42: A Trip to Fucheng ([-])

The next day, Zhao Guoer got up early, took the eggs and noodles, spread two stacks of egg pancakes with goose fat, boiled [-] more eggs, and heated up the half goose meat soup that was left specially.

Two bowls of goose meat soup and two egg pancakes were served, which was the morning meal for Mu Guoer and Tian Funiang.

Afterwards, Zhao Guoer wrapped another portion with oiled paper and two egg pancakes, making a full seven portions, and left the rest for Tian Yougen and the others.Each of the three left an egg.The rest of Zhao Guo'er put them all into one basket, and covered the basket with a piece of clean cloth following the habits of the people around.

After tidying up, Zhao Guoer put on a basket and shouted that she had washed and washed, and also brought a Tian Funiang who was on the road with cloth, scissors and needlework, ready to make a package of clothes for their mother and daughter: "Mother, let's go. Bar."

"I have to bring another crock of water. Otherwise, there may not be clean water to drink on the road."

After checking Zhao Guoer's basket, Tian Funiang went to the kitchen to find a small, wide-mouthed crock pot with a lid, filled it with water, and explained to Zhao Guoer: "You don't know that you don't go out often. You need copper coins to drink water. Sometimes even if you have copper coins, you may not be able to buy water.”

"If you hadn't left in such a hurry, I could at least get you two bamboo tubes to hold water, and you don't need to bring those clumsy crocks."

Even though it was not yet dawn, Tian Yougen and the three who were used to getting up early had already left the room to wash up, Tian Dayong said after hearing this.

"I think it's better to bring a crock pot. If you want to drink hot water, you can use the crock pot to boil water with some firewood."

Zhao Guoer said nonchalantly, while thinking in her heart that she really had to buy two cowhide water bags for going out this time when she went to Fucheng.

The earthen pot can be taken on long trips, but it is not suitable for short distances.

It's not enough to bring a bamboo tube, and there is too little water to carry, so she and her mother must have a cowhide water bag.

"That's true."

Whether it was Tian Dayong, Tian Yougen, or Tian Xingsheng, they all listened to Zhao Guoer's words and nodded.Tian Xingsheng also said to Tian Dayong and Tian Yougen enthusiastically: "Father, Lord, when we go back to the county town to do part-time jobs, we will also bring a crock pot to boil water for drinking."

"What kind of short-term work are you going to do in the future? I'm afraid you will have to hire someone to do the work at home."

Zhao Guo'er laughed when he heard this, and said to Tian Xingsheng: "Brother Hall, just wait, maybe the patriarch grandpa will ask you to go to work today."

Even if Tian Changxing didn't mention it to him at all, Zhao Guo'er believed that the important person in the sugar workshop would definitely not fall to Tian's grandfather.

In the beginning, even if those many people were not used, there must be at least one among the three of Tian's grandfather.

"Work? What kind of work?"

Both Tian Xingsheng and Tian Dayong were confused.Zhao Guoer smiled but did not answer.When pulling Tian Funiang out of the courtyard door, she turned her head and confessed: "The Chaoshi is in the kitchen, don't forget to eat it."

"Did the patriarch say he would find Xingsheng?" Tian Funiang asked Zhao Guo'er as they walked towards the entrance of the village.

"He didn't say, I guessed."

Under the moonlight, Zhao Guoer followed Tian Funiang walking with one foot deep and the other shallow.They are first going to the village entrance to take an ox cart with a fare of one penny per person to the town, and then rent a mule cart from the town's cart dealer to go to Fucheng.

From Tianjia Village to the town is much closer than to the county seat, and the bullock cart only takes half an hour.It is also a place frequented by people from nearby villages.

It is said that both food and cloth there are [-] to [-]% more expensive than those in the county.However, if it is bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets or wild animals, the price will be much lower than that of the county.

But even if this is the case, many people have never been to the county seat in their entire lives just to save time and the round-trip fee of six coins per person.

Not to mention that the journey is farther and farther, and it will cost 160 copper coins a day. It takes at least [-] days to go back and forth, a full [-] copper coins, and you can only go to Fucheng by renting a mule cart.

Finally arrived at the entrance of the village, got on the bullock cart smoothly, heard that Tian Funiang and Zhao Guo'er were going to Fucheng, many people couldn't help their tongues and tried to dissuade them.

"Fucheng is just more lively and more people. That thing can be cheaper, can it be cheaper than the fare?"

"That's right, it takes at least two days to go to Fucheng. Not only does it cost you the fare, but you also have to stay in a hotel. That is to sleep in a Datong bunk. I heard that one person costs ten dollars a night."

"Not only that, but eating and drinking will cost you money."

……

Tian Funiang: "..."

Zhao Guoer: "..."

The two glanced at each other, and Tian Funiang, who accidentally leaked the word, regretted it in her heart. She was afraid that the more she said, the more she would make a mistake. If she was inattentive, she revealed the real purpose of the two of them going to Fucheng. What if it caused disaster? good?
So the mother and daughter along the way simply shut up and stopped talking, smiled and answered vaguely, just listened to the gossip of others, and finally got to the town to be relieved, Tian Funiang sighed: "It seems that my mouth is not enough. Strictly, you have to change it next time."

"You didn't say anything important, what are you afraid of?"

Zhao Guoer said disapprovingly: "When we come back, they will also know that we have gone to Fucheng. Those meddlers will come to you and say such things. We are just telling these words in advance That's all."

As he said that, Zhao Guoer didn't bother to wander around. There is only one main street, which is obviously much smaller than the county town.There are fewer shops, and from the outside, the things displayed inside are lackluster towns.

Really, it doesn't matter which world it is.The more remote the place, the worse and more expensive the daily necessities and clothes and fabrics.

Thinking this way, she quickly found a car dealership without asking anyone to pull Tian Funiang.

After paying the deposit and the two-day fare, the mother and daughter quickly got into a mule cart, which was simple but at least able to have a carriage. It was obvious from the fact that they were only in their early fifties. The old coachman drove in the direction of Fucheng.

"Master, how long will it take us to walk to Fucheng?"

Feeling that the speed of the mule cart was very fast, much faster and more stable than the cart driven by Tian Changxing before, Zhao Guoer raised the curtain of the cart and asked the driver while looking at the scenery outside.

"If it goes well, four or five hours will be enough."

The driver skillfully supported the car, and replied: "This road is what our car dealer is used to. It's very safe. You can rest assured."

It's not that I'm worried.

Zhao Guo'er calculated in her heart, four or five hours... That's eight or nine hours.

They left at about five o'clock in the morning, and it took half an hour, or an hour, to reach the town.If you rent a car again, you will deduct all kinds of time.It should be less than seven o'clock when they set off from the town.

That is to say, they can't get to Fucheng until three or four in the afternoon?

No matter the town or the county seat, there is a curfew in Fucheng.

So when they arrived in Fucheng, they first had to find an inn to live in.

Well, it's not that they can't do anything, they can first inquire about the situation of the major households in Fucheng?Usually, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can easily find out from the guys in the inn or teahouse.

After making up her mind, Zhao Guoer calmed down and chatted with the coachman for a while, and then asked about the economical and well-known inns in Fucheng. She was also tired of seeing the almost identical scenery on the road, so she put it down The car curtain went to see Tian Funiang who had already taken out the needle, thread and fabric to sew and make clothes.Looking at it, Zhao Guoer unconsciously leaned on the car seat and dozed off.

……

"You guys are clearly blackmailing."
