Chapter 264 Check-in
Fortunately, the scene of the argument that Mr. Zhao made up in his mind did not appear. He watched everyone get on the carriage and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Drive carefully."
Old man Zhao warned the coachman, then got on the sedan and followed behind.
Because they were sitting in a carriage with the Xie family, Gu Ping'an and the other children were sitting quietly. Su Mo also felt that the atmosphere was a little solid, so she simply lowered her eyes, looked at her nose, and looked at her heart.
Due to Old Man Zhao's instructions, the coachman walked steadily and slowly. After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, Su Mo clearly noticed that the outside was getting quieter. After a while, he could even hear the sound of the wheels rolling on the bluestone.
The carriage gradually stopped, and the driver opened the curtain and said: "We're here."
Su Mo sat in front and got off as soon as the carriage stopped.
After getting down, she carried Gu Xingnian down, then helped Gu Ping'an and the others down. When Gu Qinhan also got down, she looked towards the small courtyard.
The small courtyard looked quite nice, and it was indeed very quiet everywhere. Occasionally, two dogs barked in the distance.
After hearing this, Old Man Zhao said to Su Mo and the others with a smile:
“Most of the people living here are old people and they usually go to bed early, so it’s so quiet now.
That dog is raised by the family at the entrance of the alley here. It will bark twice when it hears any noise, but it doesn't bite.
There is nothing much to say in this courtyard. If you look outside this way, you can see the well after a short walk. One is for washing clothes, and the other is for drinking directly. "
Old Man Zhao first pointed to one side of the alley, and then pointed to the other end.
"There are two alleys over there. In the morning, there will be old people selling vegetables on their shoulders. They are all grown at home. You can also buy chicken, duck, fish and pork.
If you are lucky, you may also meet someone selling bean curd and wonton, which are affordable and taste good.
If you want to go to the street, you can walk on both sides, but you have to walk a little longer, but it only takes more than a quarter of an hour to get to the street.
The stalls on our Yizhoufu street open early, and the food shops open at dawn, but if you want to be more lively, you have to go in the evening.
At that time, all the boats on the lake around the city were lit with candles, which were very beautiful. In addition to stalls, jugglers also started playing on the street. When it gets dark, there are also blacksmiths on the street to watch."
Su Mo listened carefully, and after Old Man Zhao finished speaking, he smiled and said thank you.
Old Man Zhao waved his hand, it was getting late now, "I have said all that needs to be said. It is already getting late, so I will retire first and come back tomorrow to sign the lease agreement."
Su Mo and Xie Wenci both nodded and watched him leave in the sedan.
Old man Zhao left, and the group entered the courtyard. Su Mo didn't even look at the room beyond the living room. She smiled lightly, and as soon as she entered, she said to Xie Wen: "Master Xie, this one is next to Huancheng Lake."
How about the house being mine?"
Xie Wenci was slightly startled, then nodded, "I only need two rooms, just the first two rooms. Mrs. Gu, you can do whatever you want with the rest of the rooms."
His mother is old, the house near Huancheng Lake is very humid, and the one on the other side is close to the kitchen, which is not suitable.
He originally thought about what he would say if Su Mo also wanted the room next to the living room, but who knew that Su Mo actually wanted to live in the east wing.
The doors to the rooms on both sides of the hall are inside, so you have to enter through the hall. In fact, for his situation, it is extremely suitable.
Su Mo nodded slightly, and the matter was settled.
Xie's mother couldn't bear it anymore, so she was helped into the living room by He Nier, and she picked a room at random and went in.
Xie Wenci looked at the room lit with candles and breathed a sigh of relief. After two days of running around, he finally settled down.
He raised his legs and was about to go back to the house to rest for a while, but Su Mo stopped him, took out four taels of silver from his arms and handed it over.
"Thank you Master for staying."
Xie Wenci turned back in confusion.
Su Mo smiled and said: "The kitchen and living room are shared, so I won't count them. You have two of the six rooms, and I include Qingzhou's four rooms. After discounting the rent, it's four taels of silver."
Xie Wenci looked at the silver handed over by Su Mo, raised his eyes, and met her distant eyes. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
He lowered his eyes slightly, but didn't say anything. He just stretched out his hand to take the silver and walked towards the living room.
Xie Wenci knew very well that it was impossible for him to be with her.
But why do I still feel a little uncomfortable?
As the night got darker, Su Mo yawned and arranged everyone's accommodation.
She and Gu Xingnian slept in a room, Gu Pingan and Gu Jinnian slept in a room, Chen Qingzhou slept in a room, and Gu Qinhan slept in a room.
As soon as Gu Qinhan put down the baggage, he went straight to the kitchen, which was fully equipped with dishes, chopsticks, and firewood.
There was water in the water tank. He glanced at the wooden bucket next to it. It must have been beaten by Old Zhao after Xie Wenci visited the yard.
There were also condiments, but there was no oil. Then he also found that there was rice in the bamboo tube in the rice vat, exactly one liter.
This is really...
Gu Qinhan still had some dry food, but not much. He thought for a while and did not touch the liter of rice. Instead, he poured water into the pot, lit the fire, set up firewood, and then spoke to Su Mo and went out.
The door.
Only one liter of rice, even if cooked into porridge, is not enough to fill the stomach.
Gu Qinhan knew that Su Mo was hungry quickly, so he ate some solid food at noon. It was already this hour, and he must be very hungry.
So he just used Qinggong and walked, a quarter of an hour's journey, and he arrived in no time.
The curfew time has not yet come, the streets are still lively, people are coming and going, and the air above the food shops is steaming.
Gu Qinhan looked left and right, and each of them bought a bowl of noodles to take away, then went to the porridge shop on the side to buy some porridge, and then ordered two scallion pancakes, and then went to the pastry shop on the other side to buy some soft glutinous rice cakes.
, half-sugar snack.
The noodles here are also interesting. Drain the cooked noodles and pack them separately in oil paper. Then put the soup in a bamboo tube, cover it with oil paper, put the noodles on top, tie it with a rope, and you can carry it away.
The porridge is also packed in bamboo tubes, while the scallion pancakes and snacks are packed directly in oil paper.
Gu Qinhan had money, paid for it, and when it was done, he took it and left. He left the street and walked into the alley, where he lucked out.
This time, I had to wait the longest to eat.
Su Mo's door was open and the children were at her place.
Gu Qinhan carried the things in and kept his eyes on Su Mo. "You must be hungry. I bought noodles, lean meat and wild vegetable porridge, and there are also scallion pancakes and snacks."
There was a table in Su Mo's room. Gu Qinhan put everything on the table, then went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, poured the noodle soup and noodles into the bowl one by one, and also poured the porridge into the bowl. As for the scallion pancakes,
For snacks, just open the parchment paper and put it on the table.
The noodle soup is a fragrant bone soup with some minced meat in it. It smells very fragrant. Su Mo was already hungry, but when he smelled it, he wanted to swallow the noodles in one bite.
The children were also hungry, but they didn't move. They waited for Su Mo to speak, then went over, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating.
The portion of noodles is quite generous, and the children were full after eating it.
Gu Qinhan didn't have enough, so he ate a few more small pieces of scallion pancakes. Su Mo just didn't have enough, so he used the scallion pancakes to add to his porridge, and ate two snacks afterward.
The half-sugar ones are not greasy, and they are not dry pastries either. Su Mo feels comfortable eating them.
