Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World - Chapter 657

   Bai Yitang leaned on the car, the spring breeze was slightly drunk, making him a little drowsy, but he did fall asleep.

He held the reins in his hands and let the horse move forward at will. His eyes were slightly closed, and it swayed as the carriage swayed. When a business traveler on the same road speeded up his horse and made an appointment to pass him, he would always turn his head to look curiously. Their carriage, when they saw the driver dozing off on the carriage, couldn’t help but be speechless.

   Qin Wenyin was full of sleep, and when she opened the car door, she saw that he was swaying and wanted to fall out of the car, so she couldn’t help but stretched out her hand and nudged him, “Go in and sleep, I’ll drive.”

  Bai Yitang opened his eyes and glanced at her, closed the car door, pulled her to sit beside him, and said, “No, it’s more comfortable outside, and you can also enjoy the spring breeze.”

  The carriage is about one meter wide. For comfort, they also put wolf fur on it. Because the tanner is well prepared, and after sitting for a long time, the fur is very soft.

   Qin Wenyin didn’t feel much bumps when she sat on it, although it was not the first time to drive with Bai Yitang, she couldn’t help blushing when she saw the merchants coming and going looking at them.

   “Why are there so many people in this pipeline?”

Bai Yitang yawned, squinted his eyes and said, “This is the only official road leading to Ningxiawei after leaving the Great Wall. The merchants from Taiyuan, Xi’an, Chengdu, and even Jiangnan and Guangdong and Guangxi finally converged on this road. , there are naturally many people.”

  Bai Yitang said softly, “Ningxiawei is a newly opened mutual market, and well-informed businessmen will naturally have to seize the opportunity to get some shares first, and then make a deal first.”

   If they weren’t in Xi’an and happened to hear the talk of passing merchants, they wouldn’t be able to catch up with this trend.

  Ningxiawei is the fourth mutual market opened by Chu and the Tatars. The Tatars have just quelled the tribal rebellion in the country. In exchange for food and salt tea, they made great efforts to negotiate with the Great Chu to open this fourth mutual market.

   And Qin Wenyin wanted to take advantage of this wind to visit the Tartar again, this time she wanted to go to the Tartar King City.

  It would be better if she could draw a map, but she couldn’t, and she was also interested in some Tatar customs.

   Bai Yitang always listened to her when it came to travel destinations, so the journey that was originally going south turned to the north.

  Because he knew that the mutual market was newly opened, he also bought a lot of salt and silk and satin, which could be sold as goods or given as gifts.

   Their car is too attractive, and it is not easy to get out of the customs.

The carriage drove slowly, and the vehicles behind kept catching up with them. If someone else was in a hurry, Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin were not in a hurry at all. Bai Yitang looked at Qin Wenyin more than twice at the wildflowers on the roadside, and he jumped off. The carriage folded a flower and stuck it on her head, smiling: “It’s beautiful.”

   Qin Wenyin’s face was slightly red, and she glared at him with ecstatic eyes.

  Bai Yitang smiled and stretched out his hand to hold her. Qin Wenyin pulled her hand back embarrassedly and said, “There are a lot of people.”

  Bai Yitang couldn’t help sighing. Before on the road, he might not meet anyone for three or two days.

   As a result, there are more people now, which is actually not bad at all.

   Bai Yitang looked up at the sun in the sky, “Are you hungry, let’s find a place to park for dinner.”

“it is good.”

   Bai Yitang flicked the reins, speeding up and moving forward. Soon they found a fairly flat place in front of them, and many business travelers settled there.

   Bai Yitang also turned the carriage into the forest, and everyone could not help but be curious when they saw his extended version of the carriage.

  This carriage is really too big, but twice the size of a normal carriage, and the two horses and two mules in front are very obvious, especially the two thousand-mile horses, which are not affordable for ordinary people.

   So afraid, no one dared to approach him.

Bai Yitang stopped the carriage, Qin Wenyin pushed open the car door, took down the wooden tub, opened the belly of the car from the side, poured some cold water from it, then took off the hot water bottle in the car and poured some hot water to wash hands .

   Bai Yitang removed the stove in the carriage while she was washing her hands. There was still charcoal burning inside, and the pot on the stove was stewing big bones.

   Putting down the stove, he found a mat from the wagon to spread on the ground, and put two cushions on the mat, and then went to feed the horses and mules.

   Qin Wenyin took out the rice from the belly of the car, washed it, put aside the big bone soup that had been boiled all morning, and added charcoal to start cooking.

   Seeing that the fire was burning, she stopped guarding, but went to wash the vegetables and mushrooms prepared yesterday, put them in a basket and put them aside.

   He took out another ham from the belly of the car, sliced ​​it thinly, and called Bai Yitang when the rice was almost cooked.

  Bai Yitang washed his hands, opened the lid, picked up the sliced ​​ham and sprinkled it in, the pieces were scattered, never overlapping, and then covered the pot.

   Everyone thought that he lifted the lid of the pot and covered the pot as soon as the hot pot was spilled. They didn’t understand why Qin Wenyin didn’t do such a simple thing herself, but called Bai Yitang instead?

  While waiting for the rice to be cooked, Bai Yitang took off the hand-warming stove in the car, added charcoal directly, and put a small teapot on it to boil water.

   “I still have some snow water left over from the plum blossoms I swept off earlier. Why don’t I use that to make tea?”

   Bai Yitang didn’t ask for the water to make the tea. Hearing that, he went to the car to find the can of snow water that he didn’t know where it was stuffed.

The hand stove is naturally not fast enough to make tea, so Bai Yitang moved the hand stove to one side and left it alone. Then he took the cooked rice and put it on the pot with the big bone broth. After the soup boiled again, put the mushrooms in. , and then put down the vegetables when the mushrooms are almost cooked.

   Qin Wenyin served him rice, and as soon as the lid of the pot was opened, the aroma of ham floated out, causing people nearby to turn their heads to look at them frequently.

   Seeing people eating ham rice, drinking big bone soup, and simmering green vegetables, I suddenly felt that the well-prepared dry food had no taste at all.

   There are also a few restaurants nearby who are harassed by eating, but due to limited time, they at most use hot water on the stove to scald some meat slices and vegetables, big bone soup or something…

   Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but fall on the carriage, and they didn’t know how much stuff was stuffed in the belly of the carriage, but there was still water and charcoal.

  If they had such a carriage, they would definitely be able to make big bone soup and chicken soup and various soups on the carriage.

  After finishing the meal, Bai Yitang started to pack up. The barrels in their car are filled with water every time they go, and today they can reach another town, so the water is free to use.

  Bai Yitang cleaned the pots and bowls with water and put them back in the car. Qin Wenyin had already brewed the tea, so the two sat on the mat and sipped the tea. Because they were full, the breeze was blowing, and Bai Yitang wanted to sleep again.

  Spring is really a good time to take a nap.

   Bai Yitang saw that Qin Wenyin was also squinting, so he stepped forward to help her and whispered, “Get in the car and go to sleep.”

   Qin Wenyin replied softly and got into the car with his hand.

   She lay down on the couch on the right, Bai Yitang opened the car window and put down the gauze curtain to prevent outsiders from seeing and some flying insects coming in.

  The spring breeze slowly blew into the car through the gauze curtain, with the aroma of grass and flowers lingering on the tip of the nose.

  Bai Yitang put a kiss on Qin Wenyin’s forehead and put a thin blanket over her stomach before exiting the carriage and closing the door.

   He stuffed the mat on the ground into the belly of the car, and took the stove and tea set back to the car. Only then did he get on the carriage and take a nap with his eyes closed.

   The business travelers on the side were stunned. There were only these two people in this luxurious carriage. Seeing this, they didn’t look like masters and servants, but they looked like…

   But which rich and powerful person drives the car by himself instead of taking others with him?

   It can be said that people who are not rich and noble, look at this carriage, look at their food and clothing costs, how can they afford it if they are not rich, how can they pay attention to these things?

   “It’s getting late, let’s set off.” Everyone took a break after lunch, because the sun was not shining in the spring, everyone just took a short rest before starting the journey.

One of the tea merchants hesitated for a while, and before leaving, he stepped forward and bowed to Bai Yitang, who seemed to be sleeping soundly on the back of the car, and said, “This brother, the White Tiger Stream is in front of me, and bandits are often infested, so I still have to go together. it is good.”

  Bai Yitang opened his eyes, got up and saluted: “Thank you brother for reminding me, you all go first, I’ll catch up in a while.”

  The tea merchant glanced at their two horses and two mules and nodded.

   This foot strength, endurance, and speed will not be too bad. The tea merchant turned around and left with his caravan.

   His younger brother was puzzled: “Why did the eldest brother remind him?”

   “It’s not easy to go out. If you can remind me, it’s good to have a good relationship. Let’s go, the White Tiger Stream is ahead, don’t fall behind.”

  The business travelers set off one after another, and soon only the carriage of Bai Yitang was left.

   Bai Yitang yawned and waited until the car in front was far away, then got up and lifted the wolf skin, opened the wooden board and took out a pair of crossbows from inside.

   Put the crossbow and arrows into the cart, then close the wooden plank and put the wolf skin on it, then drive the carriage to the official road and start the journey.

   He didn’t walk fast, trying to drive the car smoothly, Qin Wenyin opened her eyes to take a look, then rolled over and fell asleep again.

After walking for more than an hour, Bai Yitang slowly caught up with the caravan in front of him. He raised his head and glanced at the sun, and then let the horse go as he pleased. Yin, it’s time for you to get up and go to bed at night.”

   Qin Wenyin tried her best to open her eyes, but in the end she was too sleepy and decided to sleep for a while.

  Bai Yitang saw that she moved a little but didn’t move, so he restrained the horse helplessly, went in to pick her up, and coaxed in a low voice, “I’m thirsty, please make me a pot of tea.”

   Qin Wenyin yawned and said, “Please let me sleep for a while, and I’ll soak it for you later.”

  Bai Yitang couldn’t help laughing in a low voice, “Are you soaking in your dreams? Don’t fall asleep. If you sleep too much, you won’t be able to sleep at night. Come out and accompany me, I’m so boring by myself.”

  Chunyu is sleepy, but if you sleep too much, you will get dizzy. Bai Yitang doesn’t want Qin Wenyin to look sluggish tomorrow.
