Chapter 27 Get up early to catch the evening market
Cheng Xue and his two arrived at Shushan Town but there was a long queue in front of the gate of Dongcheng.
They all come out of Shushan Town, some go to the capital city, and some go to the county town.
Without a guarantee, you can only open a five-day road guide here. If you have more than five days of guarantee, you must be guaranteed by Li Zheng or a juren. The patriarch and scholar are not qualified.
After completing a series of tedious procedures, it is already right.
The old saying often says, "Get up early and go to the market late", which means they are now.
Cheng Xue looked at Lu Yin speechlessly, sighed and complained in a low voice:
"Luckily, I came here early, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave at noon. This would be too hard and a waste of effort."
Li Hui also thought so, and told her to take the road and hire a car to the west side. The town must be full of carriages. Although the price is high, it is safe and secure. The wheels of the car will not bump when walking on the official road.
Li Hui found a relatively cheap carriage, and after he placed Cheng Xue, he sat outside and chatted with the driver. She looked at the two cinnabar words "Five Days" in her hand, which was obviously different from the road sign that she saw before.
Yawning, closing your eyes to rest on the carriage.
To be honest, it's so worry-free to have this teammate, she doesn't have to worry about it.
But he always changes his face, this is quite heartbreaking!
In a daze, she was swaying, and when she opened her eyes again, Li Hui was drinking water.
"Why, I'm thirsty?"
Faced with her jokes, Li Hui was not willing to be outdone.
"It's amazing, I've been sleeping for so long."
Cheng Xue took the water bag he handed him to drink and asked:
"Have you arrived in Pingyang County?"
"Just entering the city." Li Hui nodded, "Master Gong takes us to the inn now. When we come back, we will take his car. I'll make a reservation with him."
"Okay, you can arrange it." She had no objection.
"Just trust me like that? Are you not afraid that I will sell you?" Li Hui raised his eyebrows and joked.
Cheng Xue shrugged indifferently and said:
"If you want to raise two children and two daughters alone, I don't say anything."
Li Hui chuckled twice, moved his position, and sat down by her and said:
"It's impossible for me to sell you, but will you lose me?"
What?
Before Cheng Xue could ask him what he meant, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Huizi, the inn has arrived."
"Ah, here we come."
Li Hui responded and Cheng Xue once again admired his social skills.
After a three-hour drive, the coachman had already called him "Huizi".
Standing in front of the car, looking up at the plaque - Penglai Inn.
A simple and easy-to-understand name should not be cheap either.
Li Hui pulled her clothes in, and a feeling of sadness arose.
This is the place where the original owner lived with his father during the first scientific examination. After so many years, the door was widened, the plaque had been changed, and everything had changed. The people who came here again also changed.
"Old Hao, this is my old customer. If you are tired, help find a better house. The price is not too expensive."
"Don't worry, Lao Gong, I've neglected the person you've received."
After saying that, Manager Hao bowed to Li Hui and said with a smile:
"Please show the guide to the bottom lane. I will take you upstairs to see the room after reading it."
Cheng Xue handed Lu Yin to Li Hui, and once again complained about the online articles he had read. The heroines who ran away at any time could only survive in the online articles.
Looking at the inn in front of me, there was a slate of water signs hanging above the counter, and the price was below the name of the dish, which was clear at a glance.
They are all home-cooked dishes, and they are vegetarian for a dozen trays, so they can’t watch those with meat. They are too expensive and outrageous.
There is a staircase on the right, and the guest room is on the second floor. It’s okay to live now, but it’s a bad idea to live in winter.
Can the earth dragons of the Liangyan Dynasty reach the second floor?
Manager Hao saw the passerby and took the keys to take them upstairs. Master Gong was quite responsible and followed him all the time.
The room was at the end of the corridor. When you opened the door, there was a bed that could sleep with two people, and a table and two chairs.
Manager Hao closed the window and rubbed his hands and asked:
"What does the guest think about this? It's normal for a night to stay in this house for 200 cents. You were introduced by Lao Gong, so I will accept you 150 cents. Hot water and charcoal fire pipes are enough to ensure that you don't sleep cold at night."
Cheng Xue knew that the prices in the county would be high, but it would cost 150 cents for one night, which was really too expensive. But she didn't say anything, and the man who went out to make the decision, so she just listened to the sound.
Seeing that Li Hui didn't say anything, Master Gong said with a smacking tongue:
"Old Hao, this is my old customer. Why do you have to offer them a breakfast too? It's not the busy season for the science and technology exams. Can you give me a face?"
Manager Hao looked embarrassed, and Li Hui simply gave him a step.
"If we can offer my husband and I a breakfast as Master Gong said, then we will make a temporary reservation for three nights. If we stay on the fourth day, we will tell you the night before."
"Okay, that's OK. I'll ask my guy to bring the charcoal basin up now and let's go downstairs to make a record?"
Li Hui smiled and said "Okay", turned around and reminded Cheng Xue again:
"Stay in the house for a while, I'll come up later."
"knew."
After Cheng Xue sent them out, she hung up the door of the house and began to inspect the room.
This knock, then look, can the window be hung, and is there a hidden lattice under the bed...
In modern times, she has to check the hotel room every time she goes on a business trip, which has become a habit.
She made sure there was nothing unusual under the bed, and she felt her mattress and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's quite thick and won't sleep at night. There are two quilts, so it won't be embarrassing.
Just as she was thinking, footsteps came from outside, she got up and opened the door bolt.
Seeing Li Hui entering the room with the quilt in his arms, he wondered:
“Where did it come from?”
"I asked Manager Hao for what I saw. The quilt was too thin, so I pressed it on it to warm up when I sleep at night."
"Your heart is so delicate." Cheng Xue said as she took the quilt and put it on the bed.
The guy brought the charcoal basin and a kettle. Li Hui hung the door and looked around the house. Just like when Cheng Xue was inspecting it just now, he knocked it east and looked around, and didn't let go of the bottom of the bed.
After reading it all, she sat down and said:
"I just asked, Shengrentang is the best place to see a doctor here. Let's go after eating. Let's go there after breakfast tomorrow.
Manager Hao said that the house prices here have dropped recently, and if the owner is anxious to get rid of a house with five rooms, he can buy it for 200 taels."
They not only brought the exchanged silver notes, but also brought the one given by Xiao Qinglin.
"It's really cheap. If there is any surplus after buying the house, buy a shop. If you rent it out, you can rent it first, and give Tangtang a dowry in the future."
"Okay, then let's go now?"
"Let's go." Cheng Xue smiled and pulled his sleeves out.
The keys have been given to them, the windows are closed, the doors are locked, and the money is placed close to their bodies, so that they are not afraid of losing things.
I happened to meet Manager Hao downstairs. He was very talkative and asked them where they were going. He enthusiastically recommended the wonton stall diagonally across from him.
