smoke from cooking

The fruit is sweet and juicy, just right for eating on board.

The big ship stopped and went, stopped about ten times, and finally arrived in Qiongzhou.

After getting off the big boat, Nan Shu looked around. The dock of the boat is very simple, just a stone platform with four stone pillars. The board was built from the shore to the boat, and the passengers walked down the wooden board step by step.

Zhang Ri and Zhang Xiaoniu thought it was fresh and fun, they jumped and ran all the way, Zhang Yue carefully grabbed Nan Shu's clothes, her small face was hidden behind Nan Shu, but a pair of big eyes were exposed, looking around.

"This is Qiongzhou, it's not very good."

"The ship is moored at the small pier in the north of Qiongzhou, and the real sea ships are all parked in the south. Naturally, you can't see the uniqueness from here." You Ning stepped forward and stretched out his hand to protect Nan Shu from behind, "The pier There are a lot of people, I have prepared a carriage, and I will talk to the place where I stay first."

About 200 meters away from the pier, carriages stopped by the side of the road. You Ning and his party appeared. Immediately, a man in a green cloth gown stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Master You's family?"

"Exactly."

"My lord, please get in the car. Shopkeeper Wen has already arranged a place."

You Ning helped Nan Shu and others get into the car.Nan Shu looked at the carriage, it was similar to the one they took when they came out of the county seat, and it was clean and tidy inside, so she decided immediately that she must thank Shopkeeper Wen as she told the coachman.

The carriage rumbled forward, Nan Shu raised the curtain to look out, and saw a large field planted with a tall plant. The upper part of the plant has green leaves, but the lower part is segmented, like bamboo, but the bamboo is green. However, this plant is more purple.

"Could it be a sugarcane field?"

Behind the fields, the houses are faintly visible, and the smoke rises, and the wind brings a little sweetness of food.

Gulong, Zhang Ri covered his stomach with a slap, rolled his eyes twice, and found that his younger brother and Ama were both smiling and looking at him.Zhang Ri groaned, covered his face, and threw himself into Nan Shu's arms.

"When we get to the place, I'll cook for you." Nan Shu patted the child's head.After staying on the boat for a month, the two children had no physical problems, not even minor ailments, except for being a little sleepy.The pile of medicine that Nan Shu prepared was completely useless.Nan Shu felt that insisting on drinking goat milk finally paid off. She pinched the children's arms. Although they were still fleshy, they were much stronger than when she first came here.

The carriage enters Qiongzhou City, with tall city walls, wide streets, and shops lined up on both sides of the street, Xiaoer goes to the door of the shop to attract customers.The three of Nan Shu, father and son, wished they could climb on the window and see clearly.

People in Qiongzhou mostly wear bright and bright colors such as yellow and blue.Although it is winter, people in Qiongzhou wear a thin cotton coat and don't wear a hat on their heads.The cool wind blows into the compartment, bringing with it the unique fishy smell of sea water.

Nan Shu touched the children's backs, and there was already thin sweat. Nan Shu quickly took off the thick cotton clothes on the children, wiped the backs with a dry cloth, and put on thin cotton clothes.

The car stopped in front of a compound, and a husband and wife about forty years away came out to greet him. The man claimed to be Jiang Er, and the other was his husband, Jiang Mama.Jiang Er and Jiang Mama stepped forward to help unload the luggage from the car.

Nan Shu took the two children out of the car, and Nan Shu walked in first. There were three big houses in the middle of the square courtyard, and a gravel road beside the big house led to the backyard.There is a small pond in the backyard. There are a few live fish in the pond. The pond and the walls on both sides of the backyard are connected. It seems that the water in the pond also flows through other yards. There are a few chrysanthemums blooming by the pond. Just brilliant.

There are also three big houses in the middle of the backyard, and the layout is similar to the small courtyard of the Zhang family in the county, except that there is one side room missing.Nan Shu looked up at the houses in Qiongzhou. There were colorful animal patterns under the eaves.The main room is brightly lit, and the windows are at least one-fold larger than the windows of the houses in the county seat. The window paper is not ordinary thick white paper, but a thin layer, and there is also a picture of a crane offering peaches cut out of red paper.

It was the first time Zhang Rizhangyue encountered paper-cutting. The two children leaned on the window and carefully touched the paper-cutting with their fingers, for fear that they might scare the paper-cutting if they used too much force.

Nan Shu wandered around the rooms on both sides. Both sides were arranged as bedrooms. One of them was equipped with the Four Treasures of the Study, presumably for Zhang Ri and Zhang Xiaoniu. The other room had a vanity mirror, a big bed, and a small The bed should be for herself and Zhang Yue.

A gauze curtain with countless holes the size of needle eyes was hung on the bed. Nan Shu put down the gauze curtain and just covered it in front of the bed. Lying on the bed, she could still feel the breeze blowing in without feeling stuffy.

Nan Shu walked to the backyard, and Jiang Mama came over with her luggage, "Master Mama, New Year's Eve is coming soon, I have cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, Master Mama has a look, if there is something wrong, tell me I'll be fine." Jiang Mama spoke fluent county dialect, which surprised Nan Shu.

It stands to reason that after walking such a long way, when you arrive in Qiongzhou, you should hear the local dialect. Nan Shu is also mentally prepared to use the internationally accepted language-body language if she doesn't understand the language.

"My family and I followed our son from the north to the south, so we naturally spoke the northern dialect. We can also speak the southern dialect. It's just not very good."

Nan Shu reached out to take the burden from Jiang Mama's hand, Jiang Mama stepped aside, "Let me come, hot tea and snacks have been prepared in the front room, please Mama the host and the two young masters to rest in the front room. "

Nan Shu withdrew her hand and led a child to the front yard with one hand.In the main room in the front yard, Jiang Er was bending over, as if reporting something to You Ning.Nan Shu paused, and a strange feeling flashed in her heart.

You Ning's eyes flashed, "Xiao Shu is here, are you satisfied with this yard?"

Jiang Er retreated behind You Ning, lowered his head, put his hands on his thighs, and looked respectful.

"The yard is very nice, did you buy it or rent it?"

"I didn't ask shopkeeper Wen. I'll ask him next time I see him."

"I want to say thank you to him. The yard is well tidied up, and I should have put a lot of thought into the shopkeeper Wen."

You Ning paused, "I know. Xiao Shu, come over and try the local dim sum here in Qiongzhou."

Nan Shu also felt hungry, Nan Shu threw aside the weird feeling just now, and called Xu Xiu and Zhang Xiaoniu to come and eat together.The local dim sum in Qiongzhou has thin skin and lots of meat, juicy, and shrimp meat, crab meat and so on. Compared with the thick skin and less juicy water in the county, it is mainly chicken and pork, which can be regarded as having their own characteristics.

After eating seven to eighty percent full, Nan Shu urged You Ning to get down to business quickly.Nan Shu came all the way here just for the business of the restaurant, without seeing it with her own eyes, Nan Shu always felt worried.

"Xiao Shu, we will have dinner at Shunfeng Restaurant tonight. You can try to see if the chef here tastes the same as yours."

Shunfeng Restaurant?Why is this name again?

"You like the name very much?"

"Get used to it, the wind and the water will go smoothly. People who are floating at sea hope for this."

"Let's go together tonight." Nan Shu clapped her hands, "Can I meet shopkeeper Wen?"

You Ning hesitated for a moment, then showed his face, "Of course."

Everyone allocated rooms, Nan Shu naturally lived with Zhang Ri Zhangyue, Zhang Xiaoniu lived in the backyard, Xu Xiu and the Jiang family lived in a side room, You Ning lived alone in the front yard room.The remaining one is a study.

At night, a group of people took a carriage to Shunfeng Restaurant.There are fewer pedestrians on the street than during the day, but the street is still lively, and the shops hang up lanterns to illuminate most of the street.

Shunfeng Restaurant is located in the south of Qiongzhou City, beside a small river that crosses Qiongzhou City, dozens of carriages are set up in front of the restaurant.When Nan Shu got out of the car and saw this scene, she couldn't help but secretly gave You Ning a thumbs up, good job, well done.

The two-story building is facing the side of the small river, and all of them are hung with bamboo curtains. Looking from the outside to the inside, the tables are separated by various screens. On the edge of the screens, there are chrysanthemums and other flowers that bloom in season.The first floor is the Datong room, where the waiter shuttles between the tables, carrying a large teapot to refill tea and deliver food to the guests.

"You copied someone else's?" Nan Shu attached to You Ning and asked in a low voice.

"Plagiarism?" You Ning raised his eyebrows, "Qiongzhou is located in the southernmost place, even in winter, the daytime is still sultry, and after nightfall, the heat will not dissipate for a while, so it is better to use bamboo curtains that can be hung at any time. After a while, When the heat dissipates, the guests will put down the bamboo curtains to block the cold wind outside."

Nan Shu blinked, with an expression of "Actually, you don't need to say so much, I understand".The layout of the restaurant is very similar to the layout of the teahouse on the Yudai River. Of course, the bamboo curtains cannot be said to be plagiarized, at most they are borrowed. Moreover, in this era, there seems to be no such thing as intellectual property rights. What so-called.

drunk night

You Ning took everyone directly to the second room, and chose a seat by the window to sit down.Xiao Er brought hot tea, You Ning ordered a few dishes casually, and asked, "Is shopkeeper Wen here?"

"The shopkeeper is here. I'm going to ask the shopkeeper to come here." Xiao Er ran down quickly, and after a while, a fat middle-aged man in a purple gown trotted over, and as soon as he turned into the screen, he cupped his hands in all directions, "Thank you for coming .”

"Shopkeeper Wen, please sit down, please sit down." Nan Shu stood up, imitating to bow to Shopkeeper Wen, Shopkeeper Wen's body froze, and quickly returned to normal.

"This is Nan Mama?" The tone was respectful, and a pair of narrowed eyes secretly aimed at You Ning.

"I am Nan Shu."

"Hehe, Nan Mama is very polite." Shopkeeper Wen sat next to You Ning, with his back straight and his butt touching half of the chair.

"These are the special wines and dishes of the small shop. Speaking of which, it was Nan Mama who came up with the idea. Nan Mama, please taste it, if you find
