I sold snacks in ancient times

The restaurant selling breakfast on the side of the road has set up a shed.The woman is steaming the buns, exuding a strong aroma of rice noodles.

Qi Yongfan devoured the meat buns and gruel.Although there was little meat and the porridge was half-cooked, he ate it deliciously.After eating, he wiped his mouth with a kerchief and said, "Others don't believe me, you have to believe me, nothing happened between me and that Shi Laozi Mingyue."

Yin Xu's eyes were dark, "What about Wang Kui?"

In desperation, Qi Yongfan blurted out: "I didn't have any physical contact with him, this is something out of nothing!"

"Oh." Yin Xu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems that you have had physical contact with Chu Mingyue."

"No, I didn't! Listen to me..."

"Stop making excuses, come back with me after dinner." Yin Xu said coldly.

Qi Yongfan took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun angrily, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.This scene, this dialogue, why is it so similar to the bloody drama in the TV series where the wife catches the rape in bed...

What did he explain, really, Yin Xu is just his neighbor next door, even if he really has an affair with that Mingyue, so what, can Yin Xu care?

So why is he so afraid of Yin Xu...

This is an unsolved problem.

On the way back, the two sat in the carriage and hardly spoke.In the end, it was Yin Xu who took the lead to break the embarrassing atmosphere, saying: "The conscription order has come down, and I plan to return to Beijing in a few days. You should clean up and prepare early."

Qi Yongfan's mind was so chaotic that he didn't notice that Yin Xu used the word "return to Beijing".

He actually didn't want to leave Nanshan Town.In a sense, Nanshan Town is his comfort zone.There's a steady business, neighbors you know, and an RV.

Once he left, he didn't know that he would only come back in the Year of the Monkey, so he was a little scared.

"Hmm." He responded in a low voice.

"You..." Yin Xu sighed, but finally didn't say anything.He opened the small drawer on the side, took out a pack of newly bought chestnuts, and peeled them clumsily.

It seemed like the first time he peeled it, the meat that came out was all broken into pieces, almost inedible.

Qi Yongfan couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yin Xu glanced at him, said nothing, threw the failed chestnut aside, and continued to peel another one.Gradually, when peeling the fourth or fifth ones, his craftsmanship has made great progress.

Obviously a talented player for peeling chestnuts.

Qi Yongfan thought that Yin Xu was peeling for fun, but he didn't expect that he peeled a bunch of them one after another and put them in a paper bag, so he asked, "Do you want me to help you?"

Yin Xu shook his head, handed him the paper bag, and said, "I'll eat it for you."

Qi Yongfan scratched his head, "Why don't you eat..."

Yin Xu lied without blinking: "I don't like eating chestnuts, I only like the process of peeling chestnuts."

Qi Yongfan: "??" Is there such an operation?

The road was rickety and bumpy, Qi Yongfan ate happily with a bag of chestnuts in his arms.And Yin Xu's speed of peeling chestnuts also accelerated, and there were more and more chestnuts in the bag...

Qi Yongfan's mouth was dry after eating, and he hurriedly said: "Don't peel it, I don't want to eat it."

Yin Xu then stopped.

Qi Yongfan noticed that his fingertips were turning red, he looked away, looked out the window and said, "How do you know I like fried chestnuts?"

"I don't know." Yin Xu said lightly, "I just saw it and bought it on the way."

Qi Yongfan thought to himself, it really is his own passion.

……

In the following days, Qi Yongfan was busy with funeral affairs.

What happens next is not what happens next, he is just afraid that after he leaves, the Xia Xing Tavern will become a mess.After all, now it seems that these stores rely on snacks from RVs.

He ordered the shopkeepers of the major branches to reduce their purchases as much as possible, such as milk and dried fruit, and to take them off the shelves and not sell them.Instead, there are self-sufficient foods such as hot pot and barbecue.

Even the hot pot base, he also found an alternative method. The sauce made by stir-frying with watercress, pepper, star anise, etc., the taste is not much different.

He is also busy packing snacks every day, specially picking those with a long shelf life, and has prepared more than a month's portion, and entrusts Shunfeng Express to transport them to Yuechuan County.

He wrote to Wang Kui and said that he would leave in a few days, and he didn't know when he would come back after this farewell, so he had to save some money.

It is best to engage in hunger marketing, limited supply every day, and take the opportunity to raise the price.

Although Wang Kui spoke so affectionately inside and out, Qi Yongfan knew very well that the other party's willingness to live in Xia Xing was definitely not because he liked him.

Wang Kui is ambitious and ambitious, and he is not that kind of sinister villain.If he wants to surpass the Longyou Tavern founded by his father and brother, he must rely on Xia Xing.

Besides that, there is money.With so much gold, Qi Yongfan exchanged all of them into silver bills.

Fortunately, the recent appreciation of gold, he also made a small fortune.

Including the previous savings, Qi Yongfan made a rough estimate, and he is already a little rich man with 5 taels of silver.

He hid the thick stack of banknotes very carefully.

The most annoying thing was the RV.Qi Yongfan had to find a way to hide it.

Yin Xu set the date to go to Beijing in seven days.Although the conscription order has not been officially posted, it is almost known to everyone.I'm afraid that once the summer is over, the government will send troops to arrest people.

Some young adults are the pillars of the family.They even crippled themselves to avoid military service.It's okay not to mention such a miserable thing.

The government stipulated that, except for those scholars who were famous, all men under the age of 60 and over the age of 12 were required to go to the battlefield.

The old, the weak, and the young children will be sent to the logistics to do some cooking and transporting food and grass, which is still safer.

But those men who were really going to the battlefield almost escaped death.

Qi Yongfan thought, the emperor of the Great Yin Dynasty must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, isn't this pushing Jiangshan Sheji into the pit of fire?

In the feudal dynasty, agriculture was the top priority.And the men are all dead, who will farm and plow the land in the future?

Poor Liu Yuanzi's husband, little brother Duan Tie, has studied for so many years and has not even passed the exam, and now he has to suffer the pain of conscription.

Qi Yongfan went to Liu Yuanzi on purpose and asked her if there was a mountain in Lianhua Village.Of course he didn't ask so explicitly, but he finally got the information he wanted to know.

He intends to drive the RV to a remote mountain.

And Lianhua Village is the most suitable choice.First of all, he is familiar with that place and knows a little way.Secondly, there are only a bunch of old and weak women and children left in this village. They will not take the risk to go up the mountain, so they will not be able to discover his secret.

Liu Yuanzi was so busy with Duan Tie's affairs at that time, she even came to ask Qi Yongfan for help, asking if he had any good ways to get rid of military service.

Qi Yongfan still wants to know, but at present there is only one way, which is to hug Yin Xu's thigh tightly.

We can't let Duan Tie's family follow Yin Xu to the capital...

Duan Tie neither wants to be disabled, nor does he want to hide in the mountains to live in seclusion, so there is really no other way.

So in the middle of the night two days before leaving, Qi Yongfan started the RV and drove it out of the courtyard.

I haven't driven the car for so long that the tires are flat.Fortunately, Qi Yongfan was equipped with repairing equipment in the car, and after repairing the car, he set out on the road in the dark.

His house is far away from the center of the town, but it is very close to the edge of Nanshan Town, and he drove on the mountain road after a while.He still remembered the road to Lianhua Village, driving directly to a remote mountain top.

Then he deflated the tire, looked at the RV with some reluctance, and rode away on the assembled bicycle.

Qi Yongfan organized a large bag of things, including snacks, tablets, electric toothbrushes... In short, he brought all kinds of daily necessities that might come in handy.

On the last day when they boarded the carriage, Yin Xu and Ye Zi only brought two small packages.But Qi Yongfan's things couldn't be put down and could only be piled on the roof of the car, as if fleeing from a disaster.

Yin Xu: "Actually, you don't have to bring so many things..."

Qi Yongfan: "All I brought are necessities."

The main reason is that he also brought the assembled bicycle, so there are too many things.

From Nanshan Town to the capital city, non-stop day and night, it is conservatively estimated that it will take nearly a month's journey.

Because they were dragging so much heavy luggage, the speed of the carriage slowed down a lot.Ye Zi usually takes the official road, although it takes a long way to go, but it is better to be safe.

Ordinary robbers would not dare to rob on official roads.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Qi Yongfan has fully adapted to it from the spitting in the first few days.He can stay in the carriage all day without changing his face.

It's just that the butt is probably about to rot.

Every time I go to a bustling town, if it's almost evening, Ye Zi will stop and sleep in the Xunjia Inn for the night.

And three meals a day are eaten irregularly.Sometimes it takes three or four days to reach a village and town, and most of the time, they have to solve the problem of eating, drinking and drinking on the way.

The leaves carry a pot for boiling hot water.And Qi Yongfan brought instant noodles and snacks, and occasionally some sauced beef or dry food bought on the road, and the food was not bad.

At first, Qi Yongfan still felt uncomfortable without the fully automatic flush toilet.But after a few days of open-air toilet experience, he felt that he had perfectly adapted to the difficult and difficult life in ancient times.

Anyway, he will definitely go back!

With this kind of belief, Qi Yongfan is positive all the way, rushing forward.I read several books, learned a lot of new knowledge about survival in the wild, and saw scenes of refugees fleeing...

Of course, it also depends on Ye Zi's skill, beating off several masked robbers along the way.

There are really many refugees in the north.Occasionally passing by some villages, they are almost the same as empty villages.People either starved to death or went out to find food.

Ye Zi is very cautious, and every time he encounters this kind of village, he will deliberately take a detour to leave.He said that the famine was so severe that people would even eat human flesh.

They were unlucky once and encountered a wave of refugees on the road.When the wave of refugees saw the carriage, they swarmed towards it, wanting to rob it.

If it wasn't for Ye Zi showing his hand and making the refugees feel timid, I'm afraid their money and food would all be robbed.

Finally, when Qi Yongfan was about to suffer from cervical spine-related diseases, Ye Zi told him that they were not far from the capital.

On this day, they stayed in Biancheng, a relatively prosperous city in the north.

The closer you are to the capital, the fewer refugees there will be.

Biancheng is even more prosperous than Yuechuan County. As the second city under the emperor's feet, it has not been affected by the famine in the north at all.Except for the heavy soldiers at the gate of the city, the other places are full of lively scenes of singing and dancing.
