Chapter 301 Drinking Porridge
But it's useless to be greedy, there are no shops in front of the village, and there is still more than half a day's journey from Yingcheng, so she can't get porridge.

Xie Jie didn't persuade her to eat anymore, but told Wen Lu to drive faster.

Wen Lu responded, and whipped his horsewhip high.The horse let out a long neighing sound, snorting and spreading its hooves heavily.

Gradually going south, the scenery beside the official road finally changed.The continuous mountains are gone, replaced by a big river, floating clouds and lonely, all floating on the surface of the river, the shadow of boating, the sound of singing, gradually unfolding like a picture scroll.

Yun Zhuo was drowsy in the carriage, woke up and fell asleep, and I don't know how long it took before I finally heard Qiu Xing's happy voice ringing in my ears: "Girl, we have arrived in Yingcheng!"

Yun Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that Xie Jie was still sitting firmly beside him.She couldn't tell what was on her mind, but she restrained her excitement, opened the curtain and looked at the street outside pretending to be calm.

The sycamore trees grow along the road, casting a coolness on the flat and smooth street.Perhaps because of the geographical climate of Yingcheng, although it is already late autumn, the phoenix trees still haven't shed their leaves, and the branches and leaves are growing luxuriantly.

But this is not a strange thing. When Yun Zhuo read the travel notes in the past, he knew that a place was also very unusual.The begonias in Daye Jingdu are very famous, but the begonias in Jingdu are delicate and attractive, but they have no fragrance.A princess in the previous dynasty loved this flower, and was depressed for a long time because of this reason. Then a wandering warlock passed through Kyoto and said, "There is a small city in the world where crabapple is fragrant, and the princess can send people there.

The world is full of surprises.

She lowered the curtain and asked Xie Jie if she could go down.

She still wants to drink porridge.

Xie Jie nodded naturally, and said: "I will accompany you."

Yun Zhuo wanted to refuse at first, but she remembered her lofty ambitions when she was in Luyong—since Xie Jie did not reject it, she also wanted Xie Jie to experience the fireworks in the world.

As soon as the words of refusal reached her lips, she swallowed them again.

She said, "Okay."

Xie Jue was sipping tea, when the carriage stopped suddenly, the tea in the cup suddenly spilled out, wet his sleeves and front of his skirt, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter ahead, why did you stop suddenly?" ?”

Hearing the wind, he lifted the curtain and was about to report back, when the driver's voice sounded: "My lord, the third young master and the third madam got out of the carriage."

Hearing this, Xie Jue didn't care about her own clothes anymore, she got up quickly and was about to get off, but only had time to say "Hey" after hearing the wind, Xie Jue had already strode out of Xie Jie's carriage.

He sighed, and followed. What he didn't have time to say was the business of the young couple. Why are you an outsider to join in the fun?
As soon as he walked over, he heard his adults say: "Where are Tuizhi and his brothers and sisters going? Why don't we go with you as a brother, if there is anything, we can take care of each other, right?"

Wen Feng turned his back, only feeling that his lord is too thick-skinned.

Naturally, Yun Zhuo didn't care, but she still remembered to make a show, so she set her eyes on Xie Jie for consultation.

Xie Jie winked at Xie Jue, but he didn't expect him to pretend he didn't see it, and laughed straight away.

Xie Jie had no choice but to say: "Since my cousin is willing to go together, it is naturally good."

After he finished speaking, he asked Yun Zhuo again: "Where do you want to go?"

Yun Zhuo said: "I want... to drink porridge."

She looked a little unnatural, and Xie Jie knew what she was thinking when he looked at it like this - she still remembered the thing about taking him to eat wontons.She seems to enjoy eating at roadside stalls.

Xie Jie pursed his lips, thinking that this is not a good habit, but thinking that he just pissed people off yesterday, and finally coaxed him back, if he said it again today, wouldn't he just annoy her again for nothing?Thinking of this, he sighed in compromise: "Let's go."

Yun Zhuo smiled, inexplicably feeling that Xie Jie knew what she was thinking.

The three searched several times, and finally found the preserved egg and shredded chicken porridge that Yun Zhuo wanted to drink at a small stall at the end of the street.

At the end of the street is a stone bridge across the Changhe River. There are fortune-telling stalls with flags hanging on the bridge, some squatting on the ground selling flowers and hairpins, and some repairing bowls and dishes. It is very lively.

On the other side of the bridge are teahouses, wine shops, study and piano shops, and on the other side of the bridge are incense candles and paper money, butchers and blacksmiths, shouting, butcher knives colliding with chopping boards, the sound of "tons" when striking iron, and the sound of storytelling. Ben Guben's red-faced arguing, and the beautiful music of the zither, flute and flute, the sound is in my ears.

Yun Zhuo didn't care, nor was he curious. He just sat obediently on the bench beside the square table, propped his head and waited for the delicious food scooped from the iron pot.

Xie Jie sat beside her, but Xie Jue was fidgeting beside her.

But he was too embarrassed to speak up, so he could only make noises to attract Yun Zhuo's attention.

As expected, Yun Zhuo looked at him when he made five beeps of No.20, and sincerely suggested: "Cousin, have you ever doubted that ecstasy is a disease that can be cured?"

After all, Xie Jue was a bit of a sophisticate, sitting next to Yun Zhuo, he asked her softly, "Does my brother and sister know where this place is?"

Yun Zhuo nodded: "Of course I know."

Is there a place where she can drink porridge?

Xie Jue moved a little closer, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the sound of Xie Jie raising his fan and tapping lightly on the table.

He coughed, looked at the distance between himself and Yun Zhuo, and immediately understood what Xie Jie meant. After cursing inwardly, he moved aside a little, and then began to say: "Siblings are raised in deep boudoirs. , I must not know who usually patronize such a small street stall. Let’s not talk about it if you are far away. Look at the footwork of the porters by the river. Most of them have no skills and can only do some coolies with their strength. To support the family, since it is to support the family, it is naturally frugal by nature, so at noon, I will have a bowl of hot porridge at this street stall, and then spread two pancakes, roll them with lettuce and green onions and let it go."

"Thinking of such a situation, will my siblings still stay here? Didn't I say, look at the bottom of the iron pot, it has been blackened by the fire, with a thick layer of dirt, and the spoon is shiny, It doesn't look clean. Brother and sister, let's go."

After listening to his words, Yun Zhuo looked at Xie Jie again: "You think so too?"

She thought of the only wrong thing Xie Jie did in her previous life, her heart tightened, and she asked him, "Really?"

Xie Jie unnaturally avoided her gaze and refused to answer.

He naturally knew he shouldn't say yes, but he couldn't say no against his will.

At this moment, the stall owner brought up the porridge. It took a long time to boil the plump rice grains and water to make a pot of thick porridge.The crystal preserved eggs are cut into small pieces, and the shredded chicken cooked in the broth is boiled together until the aroma can’t be overwhelmed. The preserved eggs, rice grains, and chicken shreds are constantly rolling under the high fire, and the pot is fragrant and tempting. Human preserved egg and shredded chicken porridge is good.
