Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Gu Yue added: "If it's a secret recipe, you don't have to tell me."

The boss smiled and said, "It is indeed a secret recipe, but it is not in the seasoning. This thing is called cumin. We in Northern Qin all use it when making roasted lamb. It is not a secret."

"Oh? I am really ignorant." Gu Yue thought about it and it seemed that he had never seen barbecue in Liuli Town, Sushui County.

This is the limitation of the region. If you are in a backward place, no matter how many advantages you have, you will be restricted by the environment.

You still need to go out more and see more.

"This is the food sent from Anxi. I got the cumin from the owner of the spice shop. It is said that he also bought it from Lord Han." said the boss.

"You gave me meat and chatted with me today, aren't you afraid of revenge from Lord Han?" Gu Yue asked.

"Hahaha, you are such a cautious person, how come you dare to stand out just now?" The boss laughed: "Lord Han will not work hard for a small shop like mine. And I can open a shop on this prosperous street, so I naturally have the ability to protect myself."

"I see." Gu Yue suddenly realized, "So, Lord Han is not the kind of person who will take revenge for any slight."

"That's right. Profits are more important to him than face. He won't care too much about small matters," said the boss.

"Does that Indian merchant caravan come to Yu Ning Prefecture regularly?" Gu Yue asked again.

The boss heard something: "Why, are you coming to Yuning Prefecture to do foreign business?"

"...Boss, you are this." Gu Yue gave a thumbs up and gave a proper compliment, "It's only been a few sentences? I guessed it for you."

"Oh, why are you still stepping forward? I don't think you can do this business." The boss shook his head.

"It's mainly because I couldn't bear to see the merchants and people being knocked down on the street." Gu Yue flattered himself, "These days, it's not easy for anyone."

"That's right. With your help, Lord Han might be able to get some compensation." said the boss.

"Haha, anyway, all the worries and resentments are on me, and Lord Han won't vent his anger on them." Gu Yue looked like he was doing it for the country and the people.

"Then let me tell you. The caravan started from Tianzhu, passed through several southern capitals along the way, and finally stopped in our Yuning Prefecture. They did business along the way and delivered those precious spices to Lord Han, who then paid tribute to the capital." said the boss.

"How often do you come?" Gu Yue asked.

"It's once every two months. The last batch of goods was delivered not long ago, right? We probably won't see them in the near future." said the boss.

"Why don't they go directly to Beijing to sell their goods?" Gu Yue asked.

"That's why we guess that the caravan belongs to Lord Han," said the boss.

The Marquis and Gu Yue mentioned that if foreigners want to enter the capital to do business, they seem to need to get permission from some department of the Ministry of Rites in the capital. So this team can't enter the capital. Is it because they don't have a permit, so they can only entrust it to Lord Han?

Can't jump to conclusion.

"But you have insulted him in public. If you don't have any power behind you, you should be careful." The boss smiled, "I am just reminding you. I will give you an 80% discount on today's meal."

"Thank you very much." Gu Yue bowed, his face covered with mutton fat, cumin, chili powder, Hu pancake crumbs, and gratitude to the boss.

The meal was enjoyable and economical, and Gu Yue kept burping.

Wu Huo also had a good meal. Gu Yue did not forget the few people who stayed in the inn. Thinking that they might have eaten, he packed five catties of roasted mutton and twenty cakes and asked Wu Huo to take them back to share.

Wuhuo took the food and left.

He was in a dilemma. This was the disadvantage of working alone. If there was any special event, he couldn't get away at all!

It was not until he saw Gu Xu making a gesture to him with his hands behind his back that Wu Huo breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to the inn with the food.

After walking around for a while, Gu Yue found two wooden carved hand-held ornaments and a few woven nets that he thought were particularly beautiful. He also bought a bunch of snacks for Gu Xu, including peach blossom cakes and preserved fruits.

"Xiao Xu, this is good. Do you like it? Do you want this?" Gu Yue squatted in front of the third stall selling wood carvings, holding a wooden pony, and looked at Gu Xu with expectant eyes.

Gu Xu: ...

Who likes it?

"Dad, buy it if you like it." Gu Xu said. He had several snacks in his hands. If he hadn't just said that he couldn't eat any more, Gu Yue would have bought some more.

"I want this." Gu Yue immediately said to the boss.

To be honest, the commercial street in Yuningfu is indeed far inferior to the current Chinese cultural scenic spots. There are few kinds of snacks, and the handicrafts sold are basically the same. The technical level is not up to par.

Having captured another wooden pony, Gu Yue felt extremely satisfied.

The night market was bustling at this time. There were fewer people working at night, so those who had free time came out to walk around. There were still many people on the banks of the big river that ran through the capital.

Gu Yue pulled Gu Xu to a stall selling dough figurines.

The old man who made dough figurines sat on a bench, his business was quite quiet, and there was a pile of clay of different colors under his feet. Gu Yue looked carefully at the dough figurines he had inserted on the straw heads. They were so lifelike that even when he was watching Douyin in the real world, he had never seen anyone share such realistic craftsmanship.

Finally he found a project that is interactive!

"Boss, can you pinch both of us?" Gu Yue stood in front of the stall, "I want the whole body."

"No problem, no problem!" The boss was very happy to open the business and invited them to sit on the small bench opposite.

Gu Yue pulled Gu Xu to sit down, helped him take off his straw hat, and then combed his hair.

Gu Xu looked at him doubtfully.

Gu Yue retracted his hand. He was used to it and thought he was going to take a picture.

The boss was very skillful, holding two sticks and starting to pinch. He pinched Gu Xu first, replicating that pretty face almost one-to-one, even carving out the piping details and folds on the clothes. Gu Yue took it in his hand and showered the boss with compliments.

The boss was praised and worked harder on making Gu Yue's dough figure, and even beautified his fierce face. When Gu Yue finally got it in his hand, he was simply a handsome man, and he looked very familiar.

How does it look familiar?

It doesn't look like his current body, Gu Dashi, but it looks very much like his appearance in the present world.

Like Gu Yue himself.

"Boss, what you made doesn't look like the real thing!" Gu Yue said, looking at the dough figurine.

The boss looked at the dough maker and then at Gu Yue, feeling embarrassed: "I'll change it again..."

Gu Xu reached out and took away the bamboo stick that was stuck to Gu Yue's dough figurine, and said, "I want this one."

"You like this? Your father doesn't look like this." Gu Yue smiled and didn't force it. He was also happy that Gu Xu liked his original face.

"Yeah." Gu Xu just felt that this face was very... very similar to the current Gu Dashi, and not like the original one.
