Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World - Chapter 660
Ningxiawei is a county town, but after entering the city, it is found that it is smaller than some of the towns they have passed through.
The ground is just a solid flat ground, not even paved with bluestone slabs, and a quick horse can throw up a burst of dust.
There are some stalls on both sides of the road, most of which are selling food. Bai Yitang drove the carriage past, and they just looked up at them, but there was no surprise when others saw the carriage.
The county seat is very small, only a little bigger than the town where we stayed before, but it is also a main street leading to the end, shops, inns, etc. are all open along this street.
Bai Yitang drove the carriage all the way down and knew what he knew, then turned the car around and stopped at an inn in the middle.
The shop assistant was waiting at the door. He smiled when he saw Bai Yitang, “You will know that you have to come to our Fulai Inn in the end when you walk down.”
Bai Yitang twitched the corners of his mouth. There are two inns down this street. One of them was temporarily remodeled. From the car, you can see the situation in the yard. Except for this good-looking Fulai Inn, he Are there any other options?
Bai Yitang took the carriage to the backyard, and seeing that their yard was quite large, he unloaded the carriage with confidence.
This inn is not as good as the one in the town. After all, that inn has a courtyard, and there is only a courtyard for parking carriages. It is impossible for them to live in the car at night.
Bai Yitang helped Qin Wenyin out of the carriage, brought only some daily necessities, took out the two quilts, and locked the doors and windows of the carriage.
The shop assistant was stunned, “We’ve seen a lot of strange things in this period of time, but this is the first time I’ve seen a carriage like this. Does everyone outside use this kind of carriage?”
Bai raised his eyebrows and asked, “Have you seen a lot of weirdness recently?”
“No,” the shop assistant said with his chin raised, “We are not unskilled countrymen now. There are many people who have come to our place recently, and we have seen everything.”
It turns out that this is the case, it seems that it is very rare, so it is not surprising to see their carriage.
Bai Yitang pursed his lips and smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, “Yes, you have everyone’s style.”
The shop assistant was sensitive and felt that Bai Yitang was really praising himself, so he cracked a smile and took the initiative to help them carry all kinds of things, “These wooden basins, tea sets and other inns also have them, but I know, you foreigners. Everyone loves to use their own, so let me help you carry them up.”
Bai Yitang quickly thanked him and followed him with two quilts.
Qin Wenyin held a bag with their changed clothes inside.
“How many of you are going to the house here?”
The store clerk was delighted, “The guest officer came just by chance, and only the last room is left.”
Bai Yitang hurriedly quickened his pace, and went to the lobby to settle down with the shopkeeper to go to the only room.
How can such an inn get better?
And if the upper house is not good, the middle house is even worse.
The shopkeeper glanced at the graceful Qin Wenyin, stroked his beard and said with a smile: “This guest officer is also lucky, there just happens to be one room left, otherwise, if you miss it, you will have to go to bed and sleep, and the other two inns don’t have us. The upper room in the inn.”
Qin Wenyin had a bad premonition when she heard the words, and asked, “Isn’t there a middle room if I didn’t go to the room? Why do I have to go to bed in the restroom?”
“Oh, the guest officials don’t know yet, there is no middle room in the inn,” the shopkeeper said with a smile: “Because the mutual market is open, there are a lot of people coming, and there are few inns in our county, so that guests from far away will not ask for it. When we sleep on the street, our inn changed the middle room into a general store, and only the upper room remains.”
Bai Yitang was as stunned as Qin Wenyin, “Although the time to open the mutual market is a little tight, it’s been more than a month now, can’t you open more inns?”
The road outside should also be repaired.
The shopkeeper sighed and said, “We also want to drive more, but we don’t have money.” The most important thing is who knows if you will stop coming after you come here. Then we will open an inn and no one will live there, so you won’t be able to drink the northwest wind. go?
The shopkeeper considers himself very smart.
Bai Yitang was silent and helped Qin Wenyin upstairs.
After changing the bedding of the inn, the two sat down to rest.
Qin Wenyin opened the window and looked at the desolate street outside, she couldn’t help shaking her head and laughing: “If Baolu was here, she would definitely buy land and build a house in a hurry, not to mention opening an inn, even a teahouse and restaurant would be very profitable. “
Over the years, she and Bai Yitang have traveled to many places, as well as mutual markets. All of them are prosperous. Because there are merchants coming and going, they support the people of one side.
Bai Yitang touched their wallets and smiled, “Baolu isn’t here, so aren’t we here?”
Qin Wenyin raised her eyebrows in surprise, “Are you going to buy land here?”
“Let’s open a teahouse or restaurant,” Bai Yitang patted their wallets and smiled and said, “There is still some money, and it seems that their storefront here should not be ridiculously expensive now. If there are our people here, in the future It is also easier for us to communicate with the capital.”
Bai Yitang walked over to her and hugged her and said, “I’m going to Tatar, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to come back in a while. The carrier pigeons are useless on the grassland, so we have to find a more reliable delivery channel. Well, we’re not as reliable as our own. And we need money in Tartar.”
They traveled in the territory of Great Chu, and they could withdraw money from the bank in the major cities with their identification documents, but the Tartars had no bank, and the silver notes were of little use in the Tatars, so they had to bring silver and gold on the road.
Bringing too much is a burden, if you bring less, who knows how long they will stay in Tatar?
So it’s better to keep your own forces in Ningxia Wei.
Qin Wenyin nodded and asked, “Then do you want to open a tea house or a restaurant?”
Bai Yitang tangled, “What do you say?”
“If you can find a good cook, open a restaurant.” Qin Wenyin looked at the small stall on the road outside and said, “There are still few people outside, and the stall outside can still support it. After a while, there will be more people and the mutual market will begin. The stalls are simply in short supply.”
“Okay, let’s open a restaurant. I’ll go see if there are any suitable shops in a while, and then see if there are any houses for rent. Let’s rent a place. This inn is too small and too messy. Stay for a long time, you are not safe in the inn.”
Qin Wenyin couldn’t help laughing when she heard the words: “It’s true to rent a house, as for the shop, let’s forget it.” She shook her head slightly and smiled: “We all watched it just now, the shops on both sides of the street are low and cramped, but they are not suitable for restaurants. So it’s better for us to buy a piece of land ourselves, or buy a house to knock it down and rebuild it.”
“The mutual market needs a lot of space, so we can just open the restaurant nearby. Obviously, this street is a bit narrow, so it must not be where the mutual market is located. And it’s spring, where do the ingredients for the restaurant come from?” Qin Wenyin said: “It’s better to inquire about the location of the mutual market first, and then see if there is any vacant land nearby. You have to find a good cook. If not, you can build a restaurant and ask Qinghe to send us two, and also the steward.”
Although Bai Yitang is also in business, he only sells goods from the south to the north, and it is difficult to sell goods from the north.
“Since it’s a way back for us and a channel to connect with the capital, then we can’t just hire anyone, we should rest assured on our own people,” Qin Wenyin said as she held his hand, “It won’t take a long time, don’t worry about it. Not to mention, if the letter is sent back to the capital, and Qinghe will send another person, it will take a month at the slowest.”
“so?”
“So let’s settle the ground first, and leave the rest to the steward.”
“Who does the commission?”
“Don’t you want to help General Yuan to suppress the bandits?” Qin Wenyin said: “Just leave it to him.”
A favor to suppress the bandits, how much is this intended for General Yuan to repay?
Bai Yitang looked at her silently.
Qin Wenyin smiled and said, “People always ask for something, don’t worry, we don’t owe them favors. Qinghe is in the capital, and there is always something that General Yuan can use.”
This is going to sell my son.
Bai Yitang silently sympathized with his disciple’s son-in-law, then immediately took her hand and said, “Then let’s go, go see the house, and then go ask for news.”
When he was out, Bai Yitang never let Qin Wenyin out of his sight.
Qin Wenyin had been in the car all day and took a nap again. She didn’t feel tired at this time, so she went out hand in hand with him.
As a result, the talent was stopped by a group of soldiers when he walked to the door of the inn. The first captain looked at the two of them, swept the hands they were holding together, and then raised his head and saluted Bai Yitang: “This is Bai Daxia, right? , my general has invited me.”
Bai Yitang was surprised, “How do you know my surname is Bai?”
The captain said with a smile: “Master Bai, don’t worry, we have no malicious intentions. It’s a good thing that the general invites you to go. We also invite Master Bai and Madam Bai to move.”
You have to see General Yuan sooner or later, so there is nothing wrong with seeing him at this time. Bai Yitang took Qin Wenyin and said, “Let’s go and have a look.”
The group walked to the barracks.
The military camp is not far away, and it takes more than two quarters of an hour to walk on the trail, which shows how small this county is.
Entering the barracks, the captain just casually greeted the soldiers guarding the gate, and then led the two directly to General Yuan’s office.
General Yuan went to the door to greet him when he heard the news. The first thought of Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin was that this person was well informed. Did they know that they were Gu Jingyun’s parents?
But General Yuan left Gu Jingyun’s real mother and came to Bai Yitang, the fake father, with a smile on his face.
General Yuan cupped his hands and smiled at Bai Yitang: “This is the Bai Daxia who killed the leader of the White Tiger Bandit as soon as he shot? He is indeed a talented person, please come in quickly, prepare a table of banquets, and ask Bai Daxia not to dislike it.”
Bai Yitang turned his head and looked at Qin Wenyin, feeling a little embarrassed, as if he had misunderstood…
Bai Yitang coughed lightly and pulled Qin Wenyin to follow.
General Yuan glanced at the hands they held together in surprise. Even if this is a border gate, the folk customs are more open to a certain extent, and there are still very few men and women holding hands in public.
Is it because he hasn’t been out of Ningxiawei for too long, and the atmosphere outside is already so open?
The Colonel coughed lightly behind the General, and the General immediately returned to his senses and said with a smile, “This is Mrs. Bai, the virtuous couple are really loving, hahaha, please come in, please come in…”
Qin Wenyin blushed slightly, she broke free from Bai Yitang’s hand with a little force, and followed Bai Yitang into the room with her hands clasped.
