Chapter 614

After the wealthy son left, Guo Qishuai saw that the storyteller also wanted to leave, so he asked Guo Pingping to go up and call the storyteller and his granddaughter over.

After Guo Pingping walked up and explained the purpose of coming, the old storyteller nodded, and brought his granddaughter to Guo Qishuai's table.

"Old man, please sit down!" Guo Qishuai said politely.

"Young master's attire is a bit special, aren't you from Yangmei County?"

Guo Qishuai nodded and said: "We are indeed not from Yangmei County, we are just passing by, next to Guo Qishuai, this is my sister-in-law Guo Pingping."

"Hello Mr. Guo, hello Miss Guo. The old man's name is Zhou Yishu. He usually calls his home all over the world and makes a living by telling stories. This is the old man's granddaughter Zhou Qiaomei. She is 13 years old this year and has been with the old man for 13 years."

"Then she..."

"She is not my own granddaughter, but a child I picked up 13 years ago."

Guo Qishuai said: "Didn't there be a plague 13 years ago?"

"Exactly, I picked her up on the side of the road. At that time, there was almost no one in Yangmei County, so I don't know who Qiaomei's parents are."

"Grandpa, maybe my parents died in that plague long ago."

Guo Pingping asked curiously: "Uncle Zhou, when you were telling a story just now, you said that there will be a plague in Yangmei County every ten years. I want to ask, how do you know?"

Zhou Yishu said: "Because I am from Yangmei County, when I was six years old, there was a plague in Yangmei County, and I was also infected at that time, but in the end I didn't die, and I don't know how my illness recovered. At the age of 19, the plague appeared again in Yangmei County, and a large number of people died. At the age of 33, the plague appeared again in Yangmei County, and a large number of people died. At the age of 45, that is, 13 years ago, Yangmei County once again There is a plague, I am 58 this year, I am afraid that there will be disasters this year, so I want to tell the news in advance, but no one here listens to me."

Guo Pingping said: "This plague comes once every 13 years, how could it be such a coincidence?"

"Yeah, it's like someone is poisoning on purpose. It happens every 13 years. Every time this happens, I will remind the people here to leave, but no one listens to me, and the old man is powerless. I'm afraid it will happen these days." If there is a situation, my granddaughter and I should also leave, Mr. Guo, I don’t think you are from here, so hurry up and leave too!”

"Thank you for reminding me, old man. However, I think the situation here is very complicated. I want to check."

"Why did you get involved in this cholera?"

"Uncle Zhou, I'm a very curious person. If I don't understand some things, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well at night. Uncle Zhou, tell me what is the most distinctive feature of this Yangmei County? Why is it here? Will so many people gather in just a dozen years?"

Zhou Yishu said: "Speaking of Yangmei County, there are no other special features, but the food here is absolutely unique."

"Eat? Are you talking about gourmet food?"

"That's right...it's food. People from all over the country know that the crops in Yangmei County are not very good? But the food here is absolutely unique in the world. There are many gourmets from all over the country gathered here. They cook in various ways. They can make all kinds of delicacies. Here, whether it’s flying in the sky or walking on the ground, as long as you want to eat, they can make it for you.”

Guo Qishuai frowned and said, "You can eat anything in Yangmei County?"

"That's right. Snakes crawling on the ground, rare birds flying in the sky, and even bats are delicacies in their mouths. There are civet cats, pangolins, and monkey meat. Many officials come to Yangmei County to eat food that they have never eaten in their lives. Eat it all over the place. Not only in Yangmei County, but all towns and villages around Yangmei County are eating it, and some villages don’t grow crops anymore, and specialize in making delicacies.”

Guo Pingping said: "The Braised Lion Head at Yuelai Inn is indeed unique, and the other dishes are also very delicious. No wonder this Yangmei County can gather so many people in a short period of time."

"Your braised lion's head contains not only pork, but also pangolin and civet meat, so the taste of this braised lion's head will be different."

Guo Pingping said: "So that's how it is!"

"Okay, Mr. Guo, I thank you for your hospitality. I'm leaving. Take care."

"Uncle Zhou, take care!"

Guo Pingping watched Zhou Yishu go away, she said to Guo Qishuai: "Brother, do you think there will really be a plague outbreak in this county?"

"I don't know. We quickly ate our meal and went to find customers. If we can't find customers, we won't be able to go back."

"But where are we going to find clients?"

"When we first came here, the few people we met were likely to be the customers we were looking for."

"The first person we saw was Yang Kunshan, and the second person we saw was Zou Haiping. Could it be that Yang Kunshan ordered the goods?"

"It's possible. We'll go find Yang Kunshan after dinner."

After Guo Qishuai and Guo Pingping finished their meal, and walked out of the Yuelai Inn, he found that many people on the street were coughing, some of them were so serious that they could cough and bleed.

Guo Pingping said in fear: "Brother, they seem to have got the plague. Uncle Zhou is right. I'm afraid the plague is coming."

"Little sister, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, brother, if we are infected, do you think we will die here?"

"The Yijie Taobao system does not guarantee that people who cross over can go back alive. If we die here, my Taobao system will go to find the next host."

"Brother, what should we do? Shall we find that client quickly? I want to go back."

"Little sister, don't worry, I will take you back safely. Let's go, let's go to the clothing store over there first, and let the proprietress design a set of ancient costumes for us. Our costumes are really too conspicuous."

"Okay, brother, I listen to you, I haven't worn ancient clothes yet."

After Guo Qishuai and Guo Pingping changed into a set of ancient clothes, Guo Qishuai also gave himself a fan and a wig for his hair. Now he looks more handsome than Chu Liuxiang.

Guo Pingping was wearing a loose and beautiful women's dress, and she was holding a handkerchief, looking much gentler.

Yang Kunshan is very famous in Yangmei County, so Guo Qishuai knew that he was the son of Yang Shang, the county magistrate of Yangmei County.

The county government office in Yangmei County was not difficult to find, and Guo Qishuai and Guo Pingping quickly found the county government office.

At the gate of the county yamen, Guo Pingping went up to ask a yamen servant at the gate, "Excuse me, does Yang Kunshan's family live here?"

The yamen servant with a crooked nose sat at the gate of the yamen, holding a knife, opened his eyes vigorously, and said, "Who are you? What can you do with our county magistrate?"

Guo Pingping said: "Your son owes my brother ten taels of silver, and my brother is here to ask for the debt."
