Chapter 400 Buying food in the middle of the night
Santie said again: "Brother, we won't leave for a while. If you need firewood at home, we will come back." He lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that people around him would hear: "You bought our rabbit, and the firewood will be given to you."
You let Li Wen..."
He left with the book, the rabbit and the letter.
Yan Yu secretly gave Brother Santie a thumbs up.
The three irons were all smiles.
The two of them finally arrived at the person they were waiting for. The person sent by the Crown Prince was a new person whom he had never seen before, but "Eight Wen Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao Bao" was their secret code.
Yan Yule collected the coins in a hurry, and together with Brother Santie, he loaded the remaining firewood into the cart, followed the man in the donkey cart, and went to a teahouse called Zhulu.
On a cold night, guests come to drink tea and wine, and the soup in the bamboo stove begins to boil and turns red.
Yan Yu remembered this sentence.
This bamboo stove is not far from Fuxue. It has a quiet environment and a unique layout. The entire teahouse is paved with bamboo branches, making you feel like you are in a bamboo forest.
Yanyu didn't know if people who came to this teahouse in the cold winter would feel cold, but she was greedy looking at these bamboos anyway.
The donkey cart went around to the back of the teahouse, and the three trains carried firewood in one trip after another.
And Yan Yu saw the person she wanted to see inside.
Yan Yu saluted and waited aside.
She thought that the prince would have many questions, so she prepared them early and waited for him to ask them.
But she didn't expect that the Prince of England was more calm than she thought.
He just asked her if she could remember the approximate location of the caisson. After she nodded, he asked her to stay with Brother Santie in the teahouse for a day and leave the city with him tomorrow.
…
Xiao'an Village
Master Tian smiled and drank the apprenticeship tea brought by Yan Laoer.
He took off a sapphire he wore around his waist and gave it to his disciple.
He said some words of encouragement to study.
Once the master-disciple title was established, they became even closer to each other.
Yan Laoer cooked the meal himself and prepared a table of food.
It was not as rich as the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Mr. Tian was very happy to eat it.
Li Xuemei and Daya both came to the table. Mr. Tian looked at Daya, praised her a few times, and then looked at Li Xuemei's belly. He smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth and even his eyes were filled with joy.
After dinner, the master and apprentice took a walk in the village.
Mr. Tian followed his disciple almost throughout Xiao'an Village. Watching him looking for people and listening to his familiar greetings to the villagers. From the elderly to the children, everyone had a special kiss with Tianyou. His heart surged.
A feeling that I have never felt before.
Pride, pride, and glory.
At first, everyone was in awe of the elder who was following Yan Laoer and did not dare to say anything.
But after hearing Yan Laoer call the eldest master his teacher, he was stunned and figured out their current master-disciple relationship...
The whole village was in a panic.
The simple villagers didn't know how to express their excitement.
I don’t know which family took the lead, but each family started sending things to the Yan family.
Mainly food such as vegetables, meat, rice and noodles.
After Li Xuemei asked her eldest brother, she did not refuse the big brother's wishes anymore and took note of all the things sent to her.
Grandma Rong and Da Ya worked hard for a while before they neatly packed and arranged these things.
That night, Mr. Tian and Yan Huaiwen stayed at home and did not show up.
Yan Laoer took the villagers, those who drove carts and those who pushed carts, to the edge of the big stone bridge in advance to wait.
Just as we were passing by, we saw a motorcade coming from the direction of Fucheng.
Yan Laoer stood up in a hurry, patted the soil behind him, and asked everyone to put out a few more torches.
As we got closer, everyone could see the tall piles of grain bags.
Yan Laoer came up to him with a smile, as if he were meeting his relatives for the first time: "Brother Mi, I've been waiting for you to come!"
"Haha, I kept you waiting for a long time."
"Brother Mi, I have the money with me. Let's inspect and trade the goods right now!" Yan Laoer couldn't wait.
The rice and grain merchant who was about to say a few more polite words swallowed back what he wanted to say.
He asked in surprise: "You still want to inspect the goods?"
Yan Laoer also looked surprised: "Don't say it's such a big deal, even if the business is small, you still have to inspect the goods first!"
The rice merchant's face was dazzled by the torch, and his face changed.
Yan Laoer seemed not to notice, looking at the bags of grain with curiosity and patting the baggage in front of him unintentionally.
All he brought out this time was cash.
There were those he borrowed temporarily from his girlfriend, and there were also those from the villagers.
It's better to use banknotes. It's not convenient to trade it to the other party. It's better to use cash. It's safe and comfortable to trade.
"You can test it if you want." The rice and grain merchant said coolly.
Yan Laoer made a gesture, and all the men in the village rushed forward.
Most of the people opened the grain bags and stretched their hands inside, while the other half stood nearby and looked at the hands of those who were brought by the rice and grain merchants to transport the grain.
"Yan Er, there is a bag here."
"Brother Yan, I have some here too."
People from Xiaoan Village shouted one after another, wanting to bring the bags to Yan Laoer to show him, but they were stopped by the grain transporter and turned to look at the rice and grain merchants.
The rice merchant snorted coldly and said, "Let them carry it over."
As soon as the grain bag in question was placed in front of Yan Laoer, he could tell there was something wrong.
Although what he said in Fucheng was to buy old grain, they both knew what he really wanted to buy.
Now that Chen Liang was really being sorted out for him, Yan Laoer was not angry, as his brother had expected it.
When dealing with this kind of people, it won't go wrong to be more cautious.
Yan Laoer said that a deer is a horse: "Brother Mi, this is all broken rice, and you won't win according to the price we agreed on.
In this way, it’s late at night, you can drag it back, and if you give me some more money, I’ll take it all.”
The rice and grain merchants are already prepared for the two sides to fall out.
Hearing Yan Laoer shouting broken rice to Chen Liang, he almost lost his breath.
He stared at the other party, while Yan Laoer was still pretending to check the grain bag, mumbling: "Oh, this is too broken... and this bag, why are there still pebbles..."
It's so natural to tell lies with your eyes open.
At this moment, the rice and grain merchant was convinced.
He made concessions and reduced his money.
Yan Laoer took a small step forward, and based on this, he added a small change.
The two parties finally reached a deal.
The rice and grain merchant took the cash from Yan Laoer and left almost with a dark face.
Seeing the person walking away, Yan Laoer shouted happily: "Let's go back to the village!"
…
The Hagu River to the east outside Yongning City is wider and the flow is faster than the Jisang River near Xiaoan Village.
It was only today that Yan Yu learned the names of the three rivers in Guanzhou.
There is also a river named Taqin that also flows from Fengming and passes through the mountains and into the sea.
The Prince of England found a good reason to leave Yongning by boat.
A case involving a thief pretending to be a Taoist was committed in Fuyun Temple, Guiyuan Town, Linhai Prefecture, involving many cities in Guanzhou and affecting a wide range of people. After the thief was arrested in Linhai, the case was not successfully concluded due to uneven sentencing.
This is why the prince left.
After getting on the boat, the prince invited the two of them to him.
Santie followed the waiter closely, taking a seat when asked and drinking tea when asked.
The prince asked Yan Yu what books she had read, and after hearing her name, he started comparing them one by one.
Yan Yu:……
After finally coping with it, the prince finally got to the point.
"...Xiaoer, do you still remember what happened that day?"
