Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 662 Fighting

 Shen Qiu answered truthfully.

“That’s it.” Gu Xiuwen nodded slightly, picked up another piece and put it in his mouth.

 The delicate and fragrant taste spread on the tip of the tongue again.

 A sip of tea brought down the slightly sweet taste, but the aroma of chestnuts in the mouth never dissipated for a long time.

This feeling lingering on the tip of the tongue and not going away for a long time made Gu Xiuwen's mind move.

 In the evening, when he came out of the Yamen, Gu Xiuwen got on the carriage going home, feeling exhausted.

The Yamen is not far from the Gu family. On weekdays, Gu Xiuwen mostly walks back to stretch his muscles.

 It was just that he was very busy today, and now he felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart. Coupled with the cold weather, he took a carriage home.

On the way back, Gu Xiuwen asked the carriage to take a short circuit around the streets of the county town.

As the New Year is approaching, the streets of the county town become very lively, especially at night. The bright red lanterns are hung high, with bright colors and a strong sense of warmth, which can make Gu Xiuwen, a person who has been dealing with official duties all day, feel... Feel the fireworks in the world.

 At this time, restaurants, wine shops, teahouses, theaters...it is a lively time.

The various small stalls selling food on the roadside are also attracting customers who return home late.

The dense water vapor, carrying the aroma of food, penetrated Gu Xiuwen's nostrils.

Gu Xiuwen rubbed his somewhat deflated belly.

 After a while, I ate a bowl of wontons. I felt not hungry during dinner, so I thought about having some late-night snacks after I got home. When I smelled the aroma outside, I felt like my stomach was beating like a drum.

Gu Xiuwen lifted the curtain and was about to see if there was anything suitable to eat on the roadside, so he stopped to take a few bites.

When I raised my eyes, I saw the signboard of Qilixiang not far ahead.

 And I could vaguely smell the aroma of braised mutton.

In such a cold weather, mutton is originally a warm food. It is stewed and eaten hot in a bowl, along with some seasonal vegetables... Gu Xiuwen can feel that there is a lot more saliva in his mouth. Then he called the boy and asked him to stop at Qilixiang in front.

The boy responded hurriedly and called the driver to stop at the gate of Qilixiang.

When Gu Xiuwen was about to get off the carriage, he found that the entrance to Qilixiang was very busy.

But the excitement is a bit unusual.

  Also vaguely heard the sound of quarreling.

“Let’s go and see what happened?” Gu Xiuwen said.

The boy agreed and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to a quiet place nearby. He jumped out of the carriage and went to inquire about the situation.

 After a while, he returned to Gu Xiuwen.

“Sir, it seems that two people were drinking in Qilixiang. After eating too much, they got into a quarrel over some words, and the two started fighting, which also affected the people who were eating in Qilixiang. They are making a fuss now.”

"Okay, why did you get into a fight after being drunk?" Gu Xiuwen frowned.

"I don't know about this young one. I just heard that this is the case." The boy scratched his head and said, "Qilixiang is in chaos right now. Why don't you go eat somewhere else? If you really want to eat, why don't you eat here?" Go home first. I went to Qilixiang to buy braised mutton and take it home? "

 “I’ll have some peace and quiet when I eat at home...”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiuwen lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, and walked straight to Qilixiang.

Seeing this, the boy hurriedly followed behind.

 At the entrance of Qilixiang, there are already three floors inside and three floors outside. There is a crowd of people watching the excitement.
