Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 196

Red stems, sunflower-like leaves, white flowers
This is grass?

Wen Shu stared blankly at the low grass mixed with green grass under the shadow of the rock.

It's well hidden!

If she hadn't accidentally picked up these weeds and wiped the dagger just now, I'm afraid she would have missed it!The strange way is to eat the grass that can become smart, look at this way of survival.
After sighing, Wen Shu stretched out his hand and brushed the Fugang grass. Seeing that there was only one plant in this area, he couldn't help sighing again.

Why is there only one plant!Also too little.

She stood up and looked around. Seeing that she hadn't left, the third child next to her was anxious, so she came over and grabbed her sleeve, pointing in the direction when she was going back and forth, and said to go quickly.

It was only then that Wen Shu remembered that they still had to go to the market town. It would be time consuming to go back and forth, and there was really no time to delay, so he could only give up the idea of ​​looking for grass, and left with the third child with the dead wolf.

On the way back, she kept memorizing the terrain in her heart, thinking that she would come back to look for it someday when she was free.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they successfully met up with the boss and the second at the foot of the mountain, and the group continued to climb down the mountain.The rest of the journey went smoothly, during which the third child even shot two pheasants with the bamboo arrow in his hand.

When the sun rose to the middle, the four finally turned out of the mountain and came to the market town.

The market town is not big, with only one street in total, and it is still a loess road. Although there are houses on both sides, most of them are low and low. There are only a few two brick and tile houses located in the center of the street.

Wen Shu was wondering if they wanted to find a place to set up a stall by the side of the road, even if everyone else was the same, but the boss carried the prey on his shoulders and went straight to the two better brick houses in the center of the road.

The two brothers followed closely behind, and Wen Shu was stunned for a moment before quickly following.

After a while, when he came to the door of the house, the boss unloaded the prey from his shoulders, asked the second and third children behind him to watch, then he lifted the curtain and went inside.

Not long after, he came out again, and there was another person behind him.The visitor was slightly shorter than him, but he was dressed in good material. Judging from Wen Shu's "well-informed" experience, he should be wearing silk and satin.

The boss pointed to the deer on the ground and said a few words to the man, who nodded incessantly, then turned around and went back to the house, and when he came out again after a while, there were two more people behind him, and an earthen pot in his hand.

He handed the crock pot to the boss, and the two who followed moved the deer to the thatched hut next to it.

Wen Shu looked at the wolf on the ground and didn't know what to do. She didn't understand the language of the people here. Although after some familiarization, she was able to have a basic conversation with the three brothers, but this did not cover business.

When he was in trouble, the man in silk suddenly pointed at her and said something to the boss. The boss turned to look at her in trouble, and then came over and talked to her.Wen Shu didn't quite understand, but the general meaning seemed to be to let her go with that person.

How could Wen Shu go with someone in this unfamiliar place, so he shook his head resolutely.The boss was helpless, so he went back to talk to the man, but the man shook his head, turned around and went back without saying anything.

After this incident, Wen Shu didn't dare to ask his owner to buy the wolf again, so he could only follow the boss and the three to set up a stall on the street.

A wolf and two pheasants, the pheasants are very easy to sell, after only squatting for a while, two neatly dressed people bought them, and what they traded was half a piece of cloth, and it was sackcloth, but the three brothers were very happy. joy.

Wen Shu's wolf has never been cared for. Originally, the wolf meat is sour, and few people like to eat it. In addition, the fur was riddled with holes by her dagger and the attack of the fat-stealing bird, and it was lost. the original value.

After waiting for a while, we didn't welcome a customer until the sun was in the west. The customer was tall and well dressed. Wen Shu didn't understand what they said, so the boss came forward to negotiate.

In the end, the customer took out two iron pieces like small shovels and handed them to the boss, and the boss asked the other party to drag the wolf corpse away.

Those two pieces of iron, Wenshu, didn't know what they would do. She just wanted to exchange the wolf's corpse for some salt, so she tugged on the boss's sleeve and expressed her thoughts.

After the boss heard this, he led her back to the original house. This time the boss took her in together. After entering, Wen Shu discovered that it turned out to be a salt shop.

The boss handed the two shovel-like iron pieces to the steward wearing silk and satin that he had seen before. After the steward took the money, he poured out a salt or two from the clay pot on the shelf behind him and wrapped it in leaves. give him.

Seeing this, Wen Shu probably understood that those two shovel-like iron pieces should be the money here.

It's just that the price of salt here is too expensive!
Although she didn't know how much those two pieces of iron were worth, but the value of a wolf, just like the one just now, if it was placed in Guochao, it would sell for one or two hundred cash, but here I only got two pieces of iron. piece.These two pieces of iron are replaced by salt, and there is only one or two.

One must know that in her world, the price of salt in Kyoto is only [-] Wen a catty. If this is equivalent, the price of salt here is as high as a thousand Wen per catty.

Wen Shu held the small bag of salt that the boss handed her, like holding gold.

She successfully exchanged salt here, and followed the three brothers back to the mountain. On the other side of the real world, because of her disappearance, Father Wen was so anxious and worried that he couldn't sleep at night.

It wasn't until one day when he entered her room and accidentally found the iron box dropped under the bed that Father Wen suddenly remembered something.

He rushed back to the room and took out the iron box locked in the bedside table. After this comparison, it was clear at a glance which one was real and which one was fake.

He sat down on the ground slumped, and the glimmer of hope he had in his heart was also destroyed.

Ah Ning entered this box without telling him!
Last time Aning only went in for less than a quarter of an hour and came back, but now.
Ten days have passed!Ten days have passed!
Aning didn't come back either.

I thought of what my daughter said she had seen in the box, what kind of beasts eating people, monsters with human faces.Papa Wen suddenly felt struck by lightning, and after a while, his eyes turned black and he passed out.

At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion in the south of the city was also in a hurry.

Mrs. Qin was holding a flower viewing feast at her home that day, and invited many wives and daughters of dignitaries to come and enjoy the flowers. The purpose was to introduce her niece, Wang Qiaoqian, to the upper class in Kyoto, so as to prepare for her future marriage with her son Qin Jingyang.

Unexpectedly, on the way, the daughter of Zhou Fu Yin's family said that her cat was lost. Mrs. Qin, as the host, immediately sent a maid to look for it. There was a fight on the roof of the water pavilion, and it seemed that they were defeated.

The young lady of the Zhou family immediately became anxious, and when she asked the maid where Shuixie was, she got up and went to look for the cat.Mrs. Zhou was afraid that her daughter would cause trouble in the Prime Minister's mansion, so she hurriedly apologized and followed.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Qin, who was the host, couldn't sit still, so she took all the wives there together, saying that they were going to watch the excitement together.

However, as soon as they reached the side of the waterside pavilion, two cats on the roof jumped down from the roof biting. Mrs. Qin was afraid of the cats, so she quickly dodged to the right when she saw this.

On the right is a rockery piled full of rocks from Taihu Lake. It has rained several times in the past few days, and a lot of moss has grown on the bluestone slabs under the rockery.Mrs. Qin just stepped on the moss when she avoided it, her foot slipped, and she fell towards the rockery.

Rao, the person next to him saw the opportunity, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull it, but still knocked his head on the stone, and passed out at that time.
