Chapter 92 A Familiar Man

"Where did they go?" Mr. Luo asked.

"The villagers don't know that not long ago, the young ones can find their way there by following the wheel marks of the carriage."

"Come and have a look."

"Okay, sir, please sit still, I'll go to the front and sit with the coachman." The book boy said.

Mr. Luo waved at Shutong, Shutong jumped out of the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage was lowered. Mr. Luo's face became slightly gloomy now. Has the Eldest Princess suddenly changed her temper?How can she care about the common people at the bottom and give them free medical treatment? Could it be that she is going to Changqing Temple?That's his most important part of the arrangement!
But following the route of the carriage, Mr. Luo found that it was not the way to Changqing Temple, and he was slightly relieved.

An hour later, Qin Shuhuang and his party arrived in Guangping County.

Guangping County is just a small county on the outskirts of Beijing, not big. There is only one street in the entire county, covering less than half a mile in total.

It was already mid-afternoon, the morning market had already dispersed, and there were not many people coming and going in the county town.

Rui Miao next to him asked: "Your Highness, do you want to find a place to rest?"

Qin Shuhuang nodded, sitting in the carriage for more than an hour at once, both she and the maids were a bit overwhelmed, and they really needed to rest for a while.

There is only one teahouse and one inn in the entire street in Anping County, and there are not many choices. In the end, Qin Shuhuang settled in Yunlai Inn in Anping County.

The location of Yunlai Inn is good, right in the middle of the streets in Anping County, sitting by the window on the second floor of the inn, you can see most of the streets in Anping County.

The snacks and tea in the inn were mediocre, Ruihe was afraid that Qin Shuhuang would not be used to drinking it, so she wanted to make Qin Shuhuang the tribute tea they brought.

Qin Shuhuang shook his head to stop, "No need, these refreshments from the shop will do."

After the past life, she has eaten a lot of simple tea and light food, even pig food. Although these teas are not delicious, they are clean and can fill their stomachs. People who come and go outside want to eat some. During the holidays, there is really no need to waste food.

Ruihe nodded, and stepped aside, Qin Shuhuang asked everyone to sit down and rest for a while without waiting on her.

Seeing Her Royal Highness the eldest princess like this, Rui Miao recognized her master more and more. She picked up a pastry on the table and took a bite, then nodded, "This inn is not big, and the dim sum is actually pretty good. Try it."

Ruihe and others looked at Ruimiao with the eyes of those who don't want to deceive honest people. Ruimiao pointed at the snacks and said, "Try it, you'll know after you try it."

Several big maids took a piece of dim sum one after another and took a bite. They tasted it slowly, and they felt that the better the taste, the more delicious it was. There was a kind of farm game that could not be replaced by exquisite dim sum in Beijing.

Qin Shuhuang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His eyes lit up slightly. The tea had a faint medicinal taste, slightly bitter, but with a sweet aftertaste. It was actually not ordinary tea, but plantain tea, a kind of medicinal tea.

At this moment, the innkeeper’s wife brought freshly made snacks.

"Please use it, madam. I have just made these. They taste better than the cold ones before." The innkeeper's wife has slightly dark skin, but she has a round face and speaks eloquently, making her look extremely lovable.

Qin Shuhuang asked: "Shopkeeper, do you have tea here?"

The proprietress immediately became embarrassed. She knew that this lady with outstanding temperament might have drank the tea that was not real in the shop.

She smiled wryly and said, "Madam is wise, but the small shop really can't afford tea...that's why I use plantain seeds to make tea..."

She also couldn't afford dim sum from other stores, so the dim sum provided to guests by the inn was also made by the proprietress herself.

Qin Shuhuang was slightly surprised. Could it be that an inn owner's wife lived in such a tight situation?

Qin Shuhuang raised a faint smile, "It's nothing, I'm just asking casually, nothing else, this plantain seed tea is also good, it improves eyesight and kidneys, very good."

Hearing what the customer said, the landlady breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the landlady was cheerful and cheerful, Qin Shuhuang asked more about trivial matters.

A quarter of an hour later, the proprietress left with a smile on her face, saying that if she needed anything, just call her, she was downstairs and would come right away.

After talking with the proprietress, Qin Shuhuang began to think deeply.

Although the proprietress' words just now were messy, Qin Shuhuang got a lot of news from them.

There is a lot of farmland near Guangping County, but this year it was dry from late spring to late summer, and the growth of grain was not good.

In previous years, when the autumn harvest was approaching, as long as the affluent people would sell some of the old grain at a slightly lower price, they were ready to harvest new grain and eat new grain. Chen Liang.

The proprietress needs food to make dim sum. In the past, at this time of year, she would buy some old grain to make rice cakes for the guests. This year, even if the price was increased, she couldn’t buy it. She had no choice but to improve the recipe of the dim sum by replacing the rice cakes with yam. Wheat bran cake.

The rice cakes are soft, glutinous and sticky, and are loved by the elderly and children. The proprietress relied on this pastry in previous years, and at this time of autumn, she can earn more. Some people come to the inn not to stay in the inn, but to buy some rice cakes from the proprietress. The elderly and children in the family have sweet mouths.

But now I have replaced it with yam and wheat bran cake. Although the taste is not bad, the texture is not as good as the rice cake.

Ordinary people who usually have little money are even less willing to buy it. Without rice cakes to make them soft, the elderly and children don’t like to eat them. Naturally, the landlady’s pastry business has declined.

Qin Shuhuang instructed Xie Cheng next to him, "Go to the grain store on the street and inquire about the price of grain at this time of the year. If you encounter other commonly used supplies, ask about the price as well."

Xie Cheng agreed and left quickly.

Just as Qin Shuhuang was looking at the street, a carriage with green curtains slowly drove into view.

There are not many carts on the streets of Guangping County, and a carriage is particularly conspicuous.

The carriage also stopped in front of the inn. Seeing that it was a male guest, the innkeeper stepped forward to greet him.

Soon, a book boy in his teens jumped down from where the coachman was sitting and opened the curtain, and then a young man in linen and green clothes got down from the carriage, his gestures were handsome and elegant.

Qin Shuhuang frowned slightly, why did she suddenly feel that this man looked familiar?
