Chen Nian nodded after hearing this, thinking that this is true. Sometimes the interaction between people is like this, and no one knows which of the friends around him will leave first.

But this is something you have to experience.

From the moment I enter my dream, I am destined to come to learn the food.

Therefore, he must go to this trip to the capital.

So Chen Nian went out to buy a roast chicken, some mutton, a fish and some medicinal materials. Now his cooking skills are more sophisticated than before, so he naturally planned to give a fresh fish and sheep to greet this old friend.

At noon, they said a lot, ate a lot, and drank a lot of wine.

"Or why you go to the capital together, it's not interesting here. You just walk around the streets every day." Chen Nian suddenly suggested.

"Forget it, I won't go. I'm more suitable for the weather in the south. It's dry and cold to the north. Where can I stay here comfortably?"

"OK."

Chen Nian didn't say much, everyone has their own choice.

A few days later, Zhang Fugui introduced three shopkeepers to Chen Nian. One of them had seen the environment here and immediately said that this place was too remote and did not meet his location, but the other two

I'm quite interested.

As a result, after several lobbying and introductions by Zhang Fugui, one of the bosses decided to acquire the store at a price higher than the market.

Because this place is not just a tofu shop now, but also a place where the top scholar has been sold. It just so happens that the shopkeeper has a young son studying.

So this is a context.

Chen Nian had already packed his luggage on the day of handing over the land deed and signed the seal. Before that, Zhang Fugui also looked for a caravan for him. Today, a caravan was about to set off from Yangzhou and head to the capital.

Moreover, since the goods transported are relatively expensive, they are also escorted by the most famous escort agency in the local area.

Security is certainly no problem.

Therefore, Chen Nian left Yangzhou with a big package on his back and with a bunch of money.

"If you have time in the future, go back to Yangzhou to have a look."

"So too. If you have the chance in the future, come to Beijing to play with me."

"No problem. Although I prefer the south, I still have to go to Beijing in my life. But if you wait until you arrive at the place, write me a letter to report your safety."

"Okay, then I'll leave."

"Go and be safe all the way."

In the end, Chen Nian left with the caravan. There was no bloody plot of the young lady or the young maid coming to say hello, and there was no sudden situation of bandits robbing the way.

They could rush along the way, and stopped to rest when they were too tired. If they encountered a town, they would go in and repair it and buy some supplies. If they had not arrived in the towns and villages at night, they would go to bed on the spot.

Fortunately, Chen Nian's trip was found through relationships, so he could sit in a carriage, and it was a separate carriage. Of course, this would naturally cost a lot more money.

Although Chen Nian is not the kind of social bull rhinitis patient, he runs a hotel after all, so he is still very good at talking to people and getting close to each other. On the first day, he met a few friends in this convoy.

The next day, he met almost all the people in the entire fleet.

After all, it is better to have a better relationship with others when you go out.

And sometimes when you go to the wilderness, you just drink the water you carry with you. If others have a good relationship with you, they will take the initiative to come up and drink the water for you, otherwise you will be thirsty.

In this way, they finally arrived in the capital after almost twenty days.

The capital of the Great Xia Dynasty was also Chang'an.

However, the city wall here is still somewhat different from the city walls that Chen Nian saw when he was traveling before.

But after all, after all, after so long, the biggest difference is that the people under the city wall are different.

At this time, people come and go for life, while in later generations, people come and go under the city wall mostly for entertainment.

Since Chen Nian had a good relationship with them before, those people went to deliver the goods after entering the city, and Chen Nian's carriage was responsible for delivering him to the destination.

This saves some effort. The reason for thinking this way is that after entering Chang'an City, Chen Nian found that it was surprisingly large. The most important Zhuque Avenue is nearly 100 meters wide on the left and right sides!

The houses on both sides are lined up one after another, but the layout is very neat. The city is planned into squares one by one. Chen Nian looks a bit like the market system similar to the Tang Dynasty.

According to the groom who was driving a car outside, there are a total of 108 square meters in Chang'an. The closer it is to the north and the middle, the more noble it is, and some of the imperial institutions are there.

Ordinary people may have to go a little further.

Chen Nian's cousin is located in Fuchunfang, where there are mostly shops, restaurants, braised meat shops, inns, etc.

It's a relatively prosperous place.

Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Unexpectedly, his cousin was still a little rich woman. After all, he only sold 200 taels of houses in Yangzhou. Of course, there is a bonus for school district housing.

But you have to know that the location of his shop is not prosperous.

Thinking about it this way, if you want to own a store in Chang'an, the capital, it will not be a small amount.

Even if you are too poor to survive, the remaining money will be enough for the rest of your life if you sell the store.

However, this money is probably all the money given by my cousin’s dowry and some money given by her husband’s family.

So now thinking about it, my cousin’s husband’s family seems to be good, and I am willing to spend so much money to do business for my cousin.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a shop door, and Chen Nian looked out the window.

There are three big words written on the sign!

“Dinner Shop”

The door of the snack shop was open, and there was a woman busy inside.

It looks a bit similar to the old one.

He is about 1.7 meters tall, and his figure seems a little out of shape due to years of hard work, and his arms and hands do not look particularly slender.

This is different from what Chen Nian imagined.

This is the normal body. How can people who are busy with daily life have that slender and weak figure like a lady?

A carriage parked in front of the door also attracted the other party to look at it. At this time, Chen Nian lifted up the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Finally, I took off my luggage.

"Chen Nian?" the other party called out tentatively.

"It's me, cousin." Chen Nian nodded, with a smile on his face.

Looking at the other person's true appearance, Chen Nian felt something for some reason. Then the other party trotted over with eager steps and hugged Chen Nian tightly!

Tears flow.

This has nothing to do with men and women, it is just the most sincere family affection.

Although this was the first time Chen Nian met with the other party, and even if it was a letter exchange, it only lasted that time, Chen Nian could really feel warm from the other party’s hug.

But I was still a little uncomfortable.

After all, we can't expect a person who knows that he has a sister for the first time will show the look of joy after seeing her.

But even so, he still reached out and patted the other person on the back: "Cousin, let's go in first."

"Okay, okay, go in and talk, go in and talk." As she said that, she brought Chen Nian into the house, but soon she called the coachman who sent Chen Nianlai to go in and sit together.

But the coachman's current task is to send Chen Nian over. After delivery, he has to go back to help unload the goods together, so he can't stay for a long time.

After hearing that the other party refused, Lu Ke directly packed a lot of snacks for the other party in big bags.

"I have nothing to thank you here, so you can take these snacks back and eat them."

In the end, the coachman pushed and gave in, but finally he didn't say anything about Lu Ke, so he had to go back with these snacks.

After seeing off the coachman Lu Ke, he returned to the house and looked at Chen Nian.

"Your name is Chen Nian, you should be my third aunt's son."

"Yes." Chen Nian nodded, "Cousin, then you are my aunt's daughter?"

"That's right, I remember when I got married, you were only a little bit small." Lu Ke said as he reached out and gestured at his thigh, "I didn't expect that after so long, you have become

A big guy.”

But this memory was not in Chen Nian's mind, and even the recipe did not give him any related memories.

"It's just that you couldn't come at that time because of the zodiac issue, so I didn't see you for the last time, but I didn't expect that we would see you again in this way more than twenty years later."

Chen Nian then realized that some places seemed to have this custom. Even if the elder sister got married, if the zodiac signs of the family members were in conflict, they would not be able to go to the scene to see it.

That's why I don't have this related memory.

"Yes, cousin, after I received your letter, I came to this side immediately."

"It's good to come. The journey is exhausted. You should be hungry. I'll get you something to eat."

"No, no, no, no, no, we ate in the previous county before entering the city. We are not too hungry yet, but it doesn't matter. I'm here this time to learn craftsmanship from you, and I can help you by the way.

Chen Nian waved his hand quickly and then took the initiative to say that he could help here.

"It's okay, you don't have to stay with nothing. My sister is rich and can support you. Even if you want to marry a wife in the future, my sister has the ability to do it for you." Her words were full of wealth.

The old man feels very safe after listening to it.
