"Brother Liu Guo leads people to fry chestnuts for sale. We need to prepare them earlier in the morning and stagger the time for marinating. There are only two pots in the kitchen, so we can occupy only one, and the remaining one must be used by the shopkeeper." Liu Xingzhi explained.
"Dashu and I are responsible for delivering the braised food and selling the leftover braised food. After all the braised food is cooked, my mother and aunts will prepare the mushroom sauce. Whether it is for sale or for our own consumption, it is best to make it.
That thing can’t be stored! The rest of the people stayed in the kitchen to help, and the third grandfather coordinated the arrangements. That’s it for the time being, everyone still hasn’t eaten yet, now each family will serve some brine-soaked pancakes, and take a rest after eating! "
After dividing things up, Liu Xingzhi followed Yunxi into the separate small room. This room was originally a utility room, so it was not too big. Apart from a 1.2-meter bed, there was only one
Small table. After two people entered, it felt crowded and the space was obviously a bit depressing!
"You, you don't want to sleep here too, do you?" Yun Xi stared at the people who followed him with wide eyes. Although they were a couple, they were not very close before, and now they have plans to get together and sleep together.
It's no big deal.
Liu Xingzhi saw her frightened face and couldn't help teasing: "You and I, what's the problem if I come in with you? As long as we don't get together for a day, you will be my wife. You can't refuse me, right?"
Yun Xi gathered his clothes, stepped back, and looked at him. Although his clothes were shabby, the man in front of him with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, coupled with his slender figure, would be a perfect figure in modern times.
Walking hormones. Ordinarily, sleeping with her wouldn't hurt, but it felt awkward and uncomfortable.
Liu Xingzhi was a little amused when he saw the change in her eyes. He stepped forward to block her in front of the bed and whispered: "What are your thoughts, madam? What I said about sleeping is just sleeping. What is madam thinking about?"
"I'm just sleeping, what else can I think about?" Yun Xi wrinkled her nose and looked speechless, but the tips of her ears turned red quietly. She would not admit that she was thinking about colorful things.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore! I've prepared some hot water. You can go in and wash yourself. I saw you scratched your head several times today!" Liu Xing then took a step back and poured out the hot water he brought from nowhere.
He handed it over and said, "I'll watch it for you, so you can wash it in there safely!"
Yun Xi's eyes narrowed slightly. She seemed to have just scratched a few times unconsciously, but was actually remembered by this person. What did this guy want to do? But if you can wash it, that would be great. For people who wash once a day in modern times.
Said, the most inconvenient thing in ancient times was this!
The space was still as warm as ever, and the water added last time was still at the normal temperature. Yunxi poured the brought in water into a bucket, took a comfortable bath, and drank all the water, milk, essence, etc.
, and then walked out.
Liu Xingzhi still maintained the same state as when she came in, standing next to the table, his expression a little gloomy, but after seeing her, he returned to normal.
"You can rest. I'll make a bunk on the floor with Shiro and the others! If you want to go in and sleep, remember to lock this door. I'll call you tomorrow!"
Yun Xi nodded in agreement. After he left, she tidied up and walked out. There was an open platform on the second floor of the post house, which was a good place to cool off at night. When she arrived, she found that in addition to shopkeeper Tan, there was also Liu
After that, the two of them sat facing each other in silence.
"You and your wife really have a good understanding of each other!" Seeing that it was her, Shopkeeper Tan smiled happily and said, "You came to see me too?"
Yun Xi walked over and sat next to him, handed over a paper bag of peanuts, nodded and said: "No, we have to thank the shopkeeper today, otherwise we wouldn't be able to exchange the mountain goods for silver! This is a great favor, can you thank me?
No! No! This is a thank you gift!"
Shopkeeper Tan took the peanuts and said with a smile: "It's a small effort. You two don't have to come here to express your gratitude. It's just a waste of firewood!"
Yun Xi glanced at Liu Xingzhi, then took out a top-quality wooden sign and said with a smile: "I heard from the shopkeeper that someone brought this token many years ago. Who is that person? Where is he now? I like it the most
Listen to the story. If the shopkeeper is not busy, tell us about it!" After saying that, he held the pot and filled a glass of water for him!
Shopkeeper Tan's movements faltered slightly, then he knocked his head and sighed: "I'm getting older and my memory is not very good. I only vaguely remember that someone brought this thing here. As for who it was, after all, it's been so long, how can I still remember it!
But you don’t look like high-ranking officials, and the wooden cards are so new, as if they were newly issued. I wonder how you got these wooden cards?”
After finishing speaking, he said as if he was nostalgic: "This wooden sign was called the King Card in the early years. When it first appeared, it was a reward from the late emperor to King Bingjian of a different surname at that time. It is said that as long as you take this sign, you can travel freely in the country.
Later, many people who made great achievements were rewarded with wooden plaques from the royal family. What a pity!"
Shopkeeper Tan ate a peanut and said with regret: "Unfortunately, there were too many people who owned wooden signs. Some ambitious guys took advantage of the convenience of wooden signs to create rebellions everywhere. The late emperor
Angry, the function of this brand has been reduced a bit. This thing is now only equivalent to a road guide to the capital, and can only be used once. I heard that after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he gave a few to some trusted courtiers. It can be seen that
You don’t look like a high-ranking minister, are you seeing the current emperor?”
"Shopkeeper Tan seems to know a lot about this wooden sign!" Yun Xi played with the wooden sign in his hand, with a bit of play: "It is said that this opposite-sex side-by-side king is also a legendary figure. Rumor has it that he was just an ordinary farmer.
Boy, when the late emperor succeeded to the throne, this man helped him a lot. The late emperor gave him the surname Guo, and also gave him the most important national defense army. He also had countless beauties and jewels. He is really worth less than ten thousand people. But
Later, this side by side king suddenly disappeared and never appeared again. If it were not recorded in history books, I am afraid everyone would have forgotten such a person."
Yun Xi slightly raised his eyebrows and said: "I once heard from my father that when King Bingjian came to Beijing to be granted a title, the traveling expenses were all collected by the clan members. I guess if he was offered free accommodation, he wouldn't refuse. Speaking of which, if that king was still here,
, the national power of our Aoyun Kingdom may become stronger, and the new emperor may not be forced to do so by several vassal kings. What a pity! By the way, I heard that the King Bingjian is ten years younger than the previous emperor. If he is alive, he should be there.
The shopkeeper must be this old!"
As soon as these words came out, the air was suffocated. I saw the old man opposite, the peanuts in his hands were twisted into powder, and his eyes were slightly dark!
"Shopkeeper, don't take it to heart. We are just chatting. My wife likes to gossip and there is nothing like that. You, the shopkeeper, have a lot. Don't be as knowledgeable as a little girl!"
