Early the next morning, Xiao Niangpi was woken up early by the alarm clock. It was still dark outside.
He pulled up Lin Yueru who had not slept well last night and said, "Get up quickly and leave as soon as the city gate opens. We have to sleep on the boat."
Lin Yueru thought about it last night, worried about gains and losses, and fell asleep in the middle of the night. She looked at her watch and saw that it was only five o'clock in the morning. She was so angry. But who asked her to be a concubine? It was her turn to express her opinion on what the lady wanted to do.
I had no choice but to put on my clothes and get up out of bed.
The kitchen had already prepared steamed buns and soy milk, as well as four side dishes. They were spicy cabbage, milk melon, platycodon, and garlic eggplant. They were packed in thermal buckets and got on the carriage.
Deshengmen city gate opens at six o'clock. Although the sky is slightly bright at that time, as long as a rooster has begun to crow, the door can be opened when the rooster crows. This is an old rule.
Although it is not yet completely bright, many people have gathered inside and outside Deshengmen. Vegetable farmers outside the city will bring fresh vegetables brought by donkey carts in the middle of the night to sell in the city.
The butchers left the city last night, and the pigs were slaughtered outside the city at the second watch. At this time, they had been washed, shaved, cut into large pieces, and carried on burdens, ready to enter the city.
Those in the city were those who were out of town on business, visiting relatives and friends, and doing business, all queuing up inside.
In this era, in addition to ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages, you can walk on foot. Rich women can also ride donkeys. Ordinary people have no means of transportation. So you should go out as early as possible.
It is the rule of the Yang Mansion not to disturb the people without reason. So the convoy is also waiting in Wengcheng.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they set up a small plastic folding table and a mat, and Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru took the people to have breakfast. The buns and soy milk prepared in the kitchen were enough.
Xiao Niangpi added honey to the soy milk with a spoon, and then stirred it evenly. Lin Yueru liked the soy milk with white sugar added. Yangfu's soy milk was super delicious, silky smooth in the mouth, mellow and delicious.
The recipe was learned by Yang Fan from the state banquets of later generations. It is one part soybeans, one part glutinous rice, one part peanuts, and one part yellow rock sugar. It tastes very delicious when made.
Donkey Dan carried the hot kettle and filled the ladies with soy milk. He held the short fire blunderbuss with his vigilant hand and scanned the surroundings.
After drinking several bowls of soy milk and eating four or five steamed buns, Lin Yueru felt like she was alive again. She had been cold and hungry all morning, and had not slept well last night, with two big black circles under her eyes.
But today's buns were good, with crab roe and shrimp fillings. Lin Yueru was very satisfied. The kitchen specially made crab roe buns for the ladies. Others had leeks, eggs, pork and green onions.
Everyone around them hid far away. One look at these four-wheeled luxury carriages and powerful guards that they had never seen before, and they knew that these were noble people. They did not dare to come forward to disturb them.
The little girl is full and touches her belly with satisfaction. She wants to eat more. She is not alone.
Turning around, I saw a dirty little girl, staring blankly at the remaining buns on the plate. There was glistening saliva flowing from the corner of her mouth.
"Donkey Dan, give the remaining buns to these children." Xiao Niangpi ordered.
Many of the adults waiting to leave the city were with their children. When they saw Donkey Dan with his guards, each child was given a bun. They were all very grateful.
The people of this era are very simple, and they also consciously abide by the superiority and inferiority. They are used to being bullied by the nobles. However, if they are treated with respect and kindness, they will be easily moved. They will face those two people one after another.
The beautiful lady bowed and thanked...
Lin Yueru sighed and said: "Let's share the snacks we brought with these children. Food is so expensive this year that adults can't have enough to eat. These children look so disheveled. Just treat it as points for my unborn child."
That's good."
I did something good and felt very good.
These children of ordinary people have never eaten crab roe buns or dim sum in their lives.
Most of them will not have this opportunity in the future. The future world is a cruel world, and being able to survive is the greatest success.
At this time, the city gate opened. These people, who had received a small favor, took the initiative to step aside and let the convoy of the two kind-hearted ladies go first.
The convoy arrived at the Jishuitan freight yard and boarded a passenger ship pulled by a steam engine ship.
One power boat tows three passenger boats.
The last boat is for the servants. The middle one is for the ladies and ladies. The one in the front is for the servants. The kitchen and other facilities are also on the first boat. After all, it takes a day and a night to go back to Zunhua New Town from the capital.
.I can’t pick up speed in the canal.
You have to eat, drink, and have sex on the boat, so the facilities are relatively complete.
The passenger ship in the middle has two floors. The upper part is the bedroom, and the lower part is the cabin. Originally, Lin Yueru was ready to sleep again. But at this time, she felt sleepy and couldn't sleep.
Sitting on the floor of the cabin, resting your elbows on the window and looking out at the scenery.
Xiao Niangpi sat cross-legged opposite her, holding up a newly brewed bowl of tea on the small kang table with her little hands, sipping it in small sips.
"Oh, this is last year's Longjing. This year's Mingqian Longjing still has some time to go before it is picked." Xiao Niangpi sighed.
"I don't like drinking Longjing tea, it's too bland. I still like the Dahongpao that the master drinks. That one is more delicious. It's a pity that the master has hidden it and won't let me drink it, huh." Lin Yueru pouted.
"Hmph, I always hide good things when I have them. I can't find the four special wines from last time. They must have been hidden." Xiao Niangpi said angrily.
"No, you go crazy when you drink. I can't stand you, so I hid you." Lin Yueru exposed her.
"It's not like I'm drunk, I'm just a little excited after drinking." Xiao Niangpi explained with a guilty conscience.
"Shit, last time you drank too much and insisted on dragging me to look at the scroll painted by Tang Yin. You also said that you wanted to raise your posture, which made me almost crazy. You also said that you were not drunk and crazy."
"Alas, I can't drink it now. You can't drink it when you're pregnant." Xiao Niangpi said melancholy. "When I give birth to the child, raise a Shar-Pei and let it smell for me. Let's see what good things the master has done."
Where is it hidden?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hey, it seems like this is okay, haha, why didn't you think of this idea earlier." Lin Yueru said happily.
Shar-Pei is native to Guangdong and is a native breed in China. It is as famous as Chow Chow, Tabby Dog and Thin Dog. They are all excellent native dogs.
At this time, we are waiting for the steam engine to heat up the water. It takes a long time to start the fire, which may take more than an hour. We can only start the boat when the steam pressure is sufficient.
At this time, through the window covered with gauze, I saw another group of tough knights coming to the dock. After dismounting, a group of very rough-looking warriors surrounded a man dressed as a scribe.
Xiao Niangpi noticed this group of people immediately. This is the unique professional sensitivity of people from Dongchang.

"The person you are looking at is Mao Wenlong. He doesn't look like a military general." Lin Yueru said quietly.
Xiao Niangpi was a little surprised. He and Yuan Chonghuan went in without seeing clearly last night.
At this time, she nodded. It is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. If Lin Yueru didn't say anything, she would have thought he was the leader of the Sixth Department. He was full of noble aura.
"Who are the people around him?" Xiao Niangpi asked.
"Standing on his left and right are his right-hand men, Li Jiucheng on the left and Shang Kexi on the right. The people behind him from left to right are his adopted son Mao Chenglu, nicknamed Mao Da, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Chen Youhe
Zhang Tao. There are two other heavyweights who are not here. They should be guarding Pidao. They are his cheap brothers-in-law. Chen Jisheng and Shen Shikui."
The little girl's red and phoenix eyes stared for a while. She said: "I didn't expect that Mao Wenlong is really a character. These people collected under his command are all tigers and wolves. It seems that it is not possible to replace someone in Dongjiang Town.
