Chapter 334 334 Arrive at Hanshan Town
"What are you doing, cousin?" Henry Zhang even asked Lin Xiaoyue.
"Find something good." Lin Xiaoyue replied.
went to the bed and turned over the bag.
After blocked everyone's sight, Lin Xiaoyue had an extra jar of chili sauce in her hand.
Immediately, his face brightened.
took the chili sauce and returned to the table.
Henry Zhang and Manager Fang looked puzzled and were very curious about what Lin Xiaoyue was holding.
Li Xiao's eyes moved.
"Yue'er, share with me." He even opened his mouth and said.
"Okay." Lin Xiaoyue responded, and then opened the jar.
Then, directly use chopsticks to put the chili sauce into Li Xiao's bowl.
The bright red chili sauce made Henry Zhang and Manager Fang stunned.
"This...is this the one on the spicy skewer?!"
"Is it chili?!" Henry Zhang quickly asked.
Director Fang also looked at Lin Xiaoyue nervously.
Spicy skewers, he bought and eaten at the snack bar under the name of the mistress.
That taste is really good.
If it wasn't for the fact that he lived in Liu Mansion and couldn't reveal his whereabouts, he would have to go out less. In the past, he would have to go "fast" every day to report.
Later, after Henry Zhang arrived, he also saw that this kid was pitiful, so he took him to "Get Up Fast" once.
This kid is good, and I kept twisting him after that, wanting to eat spicy skewers.
Last night, they were informed that they were leaving today. Otherwise, this kid almost slipped over the wall.
Before, the mistress mentioned to them about the pepper business and the chain store.
Of course they all guessed what the red seasoning on the spicy skewers is.
That is the mysterious pepper!
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.
"This is chili sauce. The main product that the workshop will produce next year." It is also her most optimistic product.
"Would you like to try it?" After getting some in her bowl, Lin Xiaoyue then smiled and looked at the two of them.
"Yes!" Henry Zhang said quickly.
His eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.
"Thank you, Mistress!" Director Fang also followed.
Lin Xiaoyue then got some for the two of them.
Henry Zhang also thought that Lin Xiaoyue gave too little, so he kept adding it.
It was Lin Xiaoyue who said that after eating, he could add it himself, so he didn't continue to greedy.
Next, a table of people drank chili sauce, mixed with vegetables and rice.
Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao naturally ate very comfortably.
Henry Zhang and Manager Fang are different.
Because the two were not used to chili peppers, they had to slow down the speed of eating because of the spicy food.
Henry Zhang also fanned his mouth with his hand from time to time, trying to dispel the spicy taste in his mouth.
But despite this, the two of them couldn't stop eating.
"This chili sauce is so delicious. Huhu-the hotter it is, the more delicious it is!" Henry Zhang said, and took two more bites of the rice that was dyed red by the chili sauce.
Lin Xiaoyue saw that the sweat on Henry Zhang's forehead was coming out, and persuaded: "You eat slowly. Eat more meals and dishes, and use less chili sauce, it will not be so spicy."
"Huhu-a little more flavor is enough!" Henry Zhang replied.
"This chili sauce is so good! After eating it, my whole body is hot!"
Manager Fang nodded.
Eat this in winter, it’s really good!
He used to feel a little cold before, but now it's not cold at all, and he even has a fever.
"Just like it! When I go back, I'll make hot pot for you to eat!" Lin Xiaoyue laughed.
Saying this, on the one hand, I want to reward everyone. In addition, she also wanted to eat hot pot.
Henry Zhang's eyes brightened.
"Hot pot? Sister-in-law, what is hot pot?" asked Lin Xiaoyue at the moment.
Director Fang and Li Xiao also looked at Lin Xiaoyue with expectations written in their eyes.
"Hot pot, um... It's similar to the 'fast-flavored' spicy skewers. But the bottom of the pot is a little different, and the ingredients used for the dishes and the spicy skewers are also different."
In order to save costs, most of the materials used in the spicy skewers are pig water.
They make their own hot pot, and the meat they use will naturally be better.
Henry Zhang's eyes lit up again, and a lot of saliva was secreted from his hot mouth.
took a mouthful of rice and quickly swallowed it.
"Okay, come back to eat hot pot!" said excitedly.
"Thank you, mistress!" Manager Fang put down the bowl and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
"You're welcome."
For the next few days, the four of them played cards.
When it's time to eat, eat the food with chili sauce.
Finally, on the fifth night, the merchant ship successfully arrived at the pier in Xiangshui Town.
Xiangshui Town, like Qingshi Town, is a big town.
Although the merchant ships docked after dark, the pier was still very lively.
Shopkeeper Liang waited until the workers had finished unloading the goods before going up to the second floor to invite four people.
The four of them saluted and followed Manager Liang out of the boat.
Stepping on the ground, Lin Xiaoyue realized that her footsteps were a little flimsy.
Fortunately, she is not a delicate girl, so she quickly adapted and adjusted her state.
The group was led by Shopkeeper Liang, and after walking off the shore for a while, they were arranged to board two carriages.
After that, I went to live in a restaurant in Qingshi Town.
"Major General, Lin Dong's family. Next, I would like to invite the two of you to rest in Xiangshui Town for a day. Stay here and arrange the follow-up matters. Tomorrow night, we will set off together and rush to Qingyuan County." Shopkeeper Liang Salute to the two of them.
Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue both frowned.
"I've been delayed on the boat for a while, and now that I've arrived at Xiangshui Town, there's no reason to delay it any longer." Lin Xiaoyue said.
Seeing Shopkeeper Liang looking up at herself, Lin Xiaoyue continued: "Manager Liang, you can arrange the correspondence, and we can just go on the road behind."
Originally, they acted on their own, and they did not separate in Xiangshui Town. Later, in Qingyuan County, they also had to separate.
There is no reason to tie them together, delaying one party's time.
"This..." There was a flash of panic in Manager Liang's eyes.
Lin Dongjia means he understands, but this time, the matter is very important.
It was the first time he was in charge of such an important matter, and he was afraid that there would be some omissions in the arrangement, and something would go wrong.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Shopkeeper Liang, and then her eyes moved.
"Manager Fang." Then he said solemnly.
"Yes." Manager Fang stepped forward immediately and gave Lin Xiaoyue a salute.
"Follow shopkeeper Liang and help arrange the next thing. After things are done, go to Hanshan Town to join us." Lin Xiaoyue said.
The matter of is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly.
With the assistance of the experienced manager Fang, Manager Liang should be able to do things well.
"Yes!" Manager Fang also knew the seriousness of the matter and responded.
"Thank you Lin Dongjia!" Shopkeeper Liang had a smile on his face and hurriedly saluted.
"It's us who should be thanked." Lin Xiaoyue looked at Shopkeeper Liang again.
"I'm going to ask Mr. Liang to help prepare the carriage and horses. We will leave early tomorrow morning." He said.
Xiangshui Town is only 20 miles away from Qingyuan County, so I hurried to get on the boat at this time.
Tonight, it’s better to stay here and have a good night’s rest.
"Yes!" Shopkeeper Liang replied.
After saying a few more words, he left.
After shopkeeper Liang left, several people discussed the next arrangement.
"Manager Fang, you stay here to assist Shopkeeper Liang. After things are done, rush to the Fulai Inn in Hanshan Town to meet up with Yue'er." Li Xiao said solemnly.
"Yes!"
"Yue'er, you are familiar with Shopkeeper Liang. After arriving at Hanshan Town, you will wait for them at Fulai Inn."
"Also, make sure they have everything in place and make sure they don't go wrong."
Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
"I will arrange someone to meet you on the Chiwu Army's side. When you are ready, the Chiwu Army will arrange to retreat."
"Yes." Lin Xiaoyue nodded seriously.
Li Xiao didn't look at Lin Xiaoyue any more, then turned to look at Henry Zhang again.
"Henry Zhang, you sneaked into the Chiwu Army secretly with me. Notify the soldiers in advance and prepare to retreat."
"Yes!" Henry Zhang knelt down on one knee and said solemnly.
The next day.
In the snow and ice, the three of them got on the carriage with dry food early in the morning.
Lin Xiaoyue and Henry Zhang, dressed as a rich lady and a rich boy. However, Li Xiao became the guard of the carriage.
A total of 20 miles, and it took more than half an hour to reach Qingyuan County.
After entered Qingyuan County, Li Xiao drove the carriage again, carrying the two of them straight to the pier.
"You guys are waiting in the carriage, I'll find a merchant ship." Parking the carriage on the side of the road, Li Xiaolao opened the curtain and rushed inside the carriage.
Henry Zhang had a smile on his face.
"Come on, I will take good care of my cousin." Chong Li Xiao said.
Hehe, I found out that my appearance is so dominant.
Don't say it, it feels really good to be a young master.
Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue looked at Henry Zhang at the same time, and they froze quickly after seeing the sullen expression on Henry Zhang's face.
"Be careful." It was Lin Xiaoyue who looked away first and said to Li Xiao.
Li Xiaocai took his dangerous gaze away from Henry Zhang.
"Yeah." He responded and left quickly.
Henry Zhang suddenly felt relieved, and almost leaned against the wall of the carriage next to him.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Henry Zhang and chuckled softly.
See Henry Zhang blushing.
These two...
Next, the carriage was silent, and neither Lin Xiaoyue and Henry Zhang spoke any more.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Until two quarters of an hour later, Lin Xiaoyue couldn't sit still.
Henry Zhang's expression also gradually changed from boring just now to solemn.
Just looking for a boat, why hasn't my cousin come back yet?
"How about I go have a look?" Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was about to speak, Henry Zhang said first.
Lin Xiaoyue frowned.
She is dressed in this dress now, getting off the car and going to the pier to find someone, it is indeed a bit dazzling.
"Wait again." There was a flash of hesitation in his eyes, and he said to Henry Zhang.
"After a quarter of an hour, if the husband hasn't come back, you go to him." He added.
"Well." Henry Zhang nodded solemnly.
After a cup of tea, the two finally heard the sound of someone getting on the carriage.
Soon, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and it was Li Xiao.
The two in the car breathed a sigh of relief.
"How is the situation?" Lin Xiaoyue asked quickly.
Henry Zhang also looked at Li Xiao expectantly.
"I inquired about all the merchant ships docked at the dock, but none of them are going to Hanshan Town. If it is the closest to Hanshan Town, I only dock at Liushui Town Wharf." Li Xiao replied.
"So, if we go by water, I'm afraid we can only go to Liushui Town first, and then think of a way."
Lin Xiaoyue's eyes moved.
Liushui Town is only an hour away from Hanshan Town, but it is not far.
"The road is blocked by heavy snow. It's too slow to travel by land. You have to take the water route. Liushui Town should be Liushui Town." He said.
At this time, Lin Xiaoyue thought of a question.
Hanshan Town has only a ferry and no wharf.
At that time, if a large number of boats are arranged to wait by the ferry, it will be difficult not to attract attention.
frowned, and without thinking any further, Lin Xiaoyue got off the carriage with Li Xiao first.
After , Li Xiao led the two to a merchant ship.
The steward of the merchant ship saw the three and took the money, but he didn't ask any further questions.
The rest of the trip is not as peaceful as the previous boat ride.
Without a separate room, the three had to stay in the cabin with the workers.
Fortunately, apart from the merchant ship steward who came to ask twice, no one dared to come forward.
The three of them also tried to reduce their sense of existence along the way.
I didn’t ask for the food provided by the merchant ship, I only ate the dry food prepared by the shopkeeper Liang before.
In the cold, finally, before You Shi, the three of them arrived at Liushui Town Pier.
It is said to be a pier, but in fact it can only be regarded as a larger ferry.
When got off the boat, the sky was already snowing.
At this time, the Liushui Town pier was covered with snow, and at first glance, there was no one beside the merchant ship they were on, and there was no one beside them.
"Let's go." Li Xiao said and opened the way ahead.
"Yes." Lin Xiaoyue responded, following the mark Li Xiao stepped on the snow, and walked forward.
Li Xiao was very familiar with the situation in Liushui Town. After leaving the dock with Lin Xiaoyue and Henry Zhang, he quickly took them to an inn.
After , two rooms were opened.
After letting Henry Zhang go back to the room, Lin Xiaoyue was immediately pulled into his arms by Li Xiao.
The warm body temperature instantly dispelled the chill on his body, and Lin Xiaoyue unconsciously pressed closer to Li Xiao's arms.
"Thank you for your hard work." The man's deep voice sounded from above his head.
Lin Xiaoyue's heart moved.
"What's the hard work?"
raised his head and looked at Li Xiao.
"The brothers of the Chiwu Army are really suffering."
"It's so cold, and the army is short of clothing and food, I'm afraid many people will be frozen." He said worriedly.
Li Xiao looked lonely.
Frost damage is certain, even in previous years, there are many soldiers in the army who were frostbitten and frostbitten. The situation this year is likely to be even worse.
Lin Xiaoyue arched into Li Xiao's arms.
"Don't think about it, you can go back tomorrow."
"Um."
After eating and taking a shower, the couple went to bed early.
As the destination gets closer, it gets harder and harder to fall asleep.
At night, Li Xiao could only keep as still as possible to avoid disturbing his daughter-in-law's sleep...
In the second half of the night, as the sound of snow "rustling" outside the window gradually disappeared, Li Xiaocai fell asleep.
On the second day, Liushui Town, which had been snowing for three consecutive days, actually ushered in the weather to clear up.
The three of them had breakfast at the inn, and then they bought a carriage and went overland to Hanshan Town.
The snow is thick on the road, and the carriage is difficult to travel. When the group arrived at Hanshan Town, it was almost noon.
Li Xiao took the two to Fulai Inn and opened two rooms.
Only then did Lin Xiaoyue know that this Fulai Inn was also the property of the Nangong family.
Rooms.
"This subordinate has seen the master, and can see the master again, Cheng An's blessing!" The shopkeeper knelt down on one knee and said excitedly to Li Xiao.
"And the mistress! Cheng An has seen the mistress!" Thinking of something, Cheng An bowed to Lin Xiaoyue again.
