After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Entering Beijing, take the Southeast Road, from Liujiacun to Kaiyang County Official Road, no longer take the direction of Zijinfu, but the opposite east road.

After walking east for two days, they left Zijin Mansion and set foot on the border of Yuzhou.

As the saying goes, a village is different within ten miles, and the customs are different within a hundred miles. When you arrive in Yuzhou, even the mountain topography has completely changed.

The flat fertile fields that are common in Zijingfu are no longer seen in Yuzhou.

When you look up, you will see a forest scene with dense vegetation, and farmland exists in the valley. Every time you pass a few mountains, you can see a place like this. The paddy fields cannot be connected into one piece, and are scattered in various gaps.

Such natural geographical conditions have led to the fact that most of the local people in Yuzhou are engaged in business. Otherwise, they would not be able to feed a large family just by relying on the harvest from the cracked fields.

Therefore, although there is not much fertile farmland in Yuzhou, because everyone is doing business, the cities and towns here are more prosperous than Zijin Mansion.

The spacious official road and the tea stalls that can be seen every five or ten miles along the road brought a great sense of freshness to Qin Yao and his party.

Coupled with the good weather and clear skies for several days, the trip to the main city of Yuzhou was a day and a half faster than expected.

What can you do with the extra time?

Naturally, I want to stay in this bustling main city and experience the local food!

Qin Yao, who was riding ahead, could see the tall city gate built between two mountains in front of her when she raised her head.

Under the city gate, there are caravans lining up to enter the city, as well as ordinary people from the surrounding areas who enter the city to do business.

People here have been doing business with their families since they were young, and no one is idle. Even those who hang out under the city gate are brokers looking for business opportunities.

When the broker glanced at Qin Yao and his group, he knew they were from out of town.

However, in the past, most trips were for business trips, and most of them were men or adult women.

It is not common for Qin Yao's family to have both women and children.

A broker came over tentatively, raised his head and asked Liu Ji, who was riding a horse next to Qin Yao, "Is this gentleman here to visit relatives?"

When out and about, most of them are men, so the broker naturally inquires about Liu Ji, the only adult male in the team.

Seeing the four little heads of the Dalang brother and sister emerging from the carriage, I quite admired the courage of this handsome man in front of him, who dared to take such a big family on a long journey alone.

This car contains either children or young women, and they are not afraid of being targeted by gangsters.

Little did he know that the woman on horseback beside him could protect the whole family just by herself.

If bad guys dare to come, we still don’t know who is guilty and who is innocent.

Liu Ji glanced at his wife with a guilty conscience. Seeing that she didn't look unhappy, he lowered his head and answered the broker:
"I am going to the capital to visit my relatives. I plan to rest in the city for a night today. By the way, I will take a look around the main city of Yuzhou while it is still early."

Hearing this, the broker immediately showed a bright smile, took a step back, clasped his fists and announced his name:

"Little Zhou Meng has grown up in this city since he was a child. He knows everything about the city very well. If I don't mind it, can I take you and your family into the city to enjoy it?"

As he said that, he smiled apologetically, stretched out two fingers and rubbed them up and down, "If you have fun, master, you just need to reward the little one."

"You still don't know what to call me?" Zhou Meng asked politely, his smile was very friendly, and he had a nice face, which made it easier for him to eat the broker's meal.

Most people, when they first come to a strange place, find it hard to refuse when they meet a local who seems to be a good person and treats them warmly. Liu Ji was very moved and told Zhou Meng his name and explained that the person next to him was his wife.

Then he suppressed his excitement and asked, "What do you think, madam?"

Qin Yao glanced up and down at the people in front of her, her eyes were sinister but innocent, she just wanted to make a little money from them.

It would be good to have a local to lead the way.

Qin Yao nodded and said to Zhou Meng: "First take us to a spacious and clean inn, and then tell us about the rules of the city and point out one or two places that the locals find interesting. Let’s go have fun.”

After saying that, he turned around and winked at Yin Le. Yin Le took out half a tael of silver from his purse and said, "Go on!"

Seeing Zhou Meng looking over, he threw the silver to him casually. The silver piece fell into his arms impartially.

Zhou Meng was obviously startled, and his surprised eyes swept from Yin Le to Qin Yao, who he had not even looked at just now.

The woman was riding on a tall horse, looking down at him with slightly lowered eyes. She was dressed neatly and simply, with a dagger on her waist. Is it unusual for a woman to carry a knife when she goes out? This lady is actually a martial arts practitioner!

Zhou Meng's eyes rolled around, and while putting away the money, he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Qin Yao.

Next, I would only explain all situations to Qin Yao, and only occasionally ask Liu Ji.

Liu Ji took it for granted and was happy to be free. He just took good care of the children who did not understand the foreign accent and acted as their translator.

When entering the city, they had to dismount for inspection. Liu Ji drove the children out of the carriage and handed his horse to Zhou Meng. He held the two children with one hand and followed Qin Yao to check the route and successfully entered the city.

There is only one fee to drive into town and ride a horse.

After entering the city gate, Zhou Meng warned: "Madam, you are not allowed to ride horses in the city."

Qin Yao nodded to express her understanding, and the group followed Zhou Meng with their horses to a two-story inn.

Zhou Meng explained: "Although this inn is in an alley, you can reach the main street after exiting the alley. It is quiet in the bustle. The place is small, but the price is affordable. You can order food and eat in the lobby. So The fish meat cooked by the chef is excellent. Madam, sir, you can order one to try for only two taels of silver."

Just? Yin Le and Erlang looked at each other, the prices in the main city of Yuzhou are too high!

Zhou Meng also secretly observed the guests' reactions. He saw that the family's clothes were neat and clean, and Mr. Liu also wore satin underwear, which showed that the family had a lot of wealth.

But none of the family wears any expensive accessories, so they think they are more frugal in daily life.

That's why I brought them to this inn on the main street, which was a bit lower than the big restaurants in the city. I recommended a small and expensive fish dumpling to try it out, so that I could continue to introduce the guests to places to visit that meet their requirements.

Sure enough, Mrs. Liu's expression remained unchanged and she showed some interest. Mr. Liu even said directly: "San Lang and Si Niang, let's go and try the fish from Yuzhou later!"

The twin chicks nodded repeatedly as if pecking at rice. It was lunch time, and their little bellies couldn't wait. But the rules are rules, don’t shout outside. I had no choice but to open my bright eyes and secretly clenched my fists happily with my dad who was also looking forward to it.

The children's cute reaction made Qin Yao smile, motioning to Zhou Meng to lead the way, and led the family into the inn called Ping'an.

It is convenient to pay someone to hire someone, and Zhou Meng will handle all the check-in procedures on your behalf.

Yin Le was worried, so he spoke to his master, then went to the backyard and chose two spacious rooms next to each other.

The women moved into one room and the men moved into another, and then put all the luggage in the car into the guest rooms, and then returned to the front lobby feeling relaxed. (End of chapter)
