The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 147

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the Great Wasteland packed up and set off.

The carriage was rented in the town.The bullock cart at home can still be seen in the town, but it is a bit shabby to take it to the provincial capital, and there are quite a lot of things to bring.With the experience of being a guest at Uncle Qin's house, He Tao insisted on bringing the twins' cots and quilts, not wanting to be disturbed and unable to sleep in the next few nights.The rest of the people had no one, so they only brought two sets of clothes for a change of clothes. However, winter clothes can't be stuffed into a bag by rubbing two handfuls, and one would take up a lot of space, let alone six people's?

Considering that during the new year, the tea houses and small shops on the road are probably still closed, and there is no place to replenish food on the way, so I brought dry food, a small stove, and a tea set.

It was cold outside, and children couldn't stand the cold, so they brought another hundred catties of charcoal and a brazier.

It is impossible for a bullock cart to carry so many things and eight people.

He Tao thought that he would at least rent a car anyway, why not just rent two carriages directly, and the rented car comes with a driver to drive the car, so there is no need for Fu Shi and Nian Zu to drive the car.

The driver was introduced by Luo Baocheng, with his cousins ​​Luo Shoucheng and Luo Pengju father and son.Luo Shoucheng's family only has a carriage, which is what he usually does for a living, and the other horse is borrowed from a colleague who is not far away.

Early in the morning, Luo Shoucheng and his son drove the car to the Great Wasteland, and helped everyone load their things into the second carriage. The people in the Great Wasteland, wearing new Chinese New Year clothes, crowded into the first carriage lively. With a flick of the whip, he set off towards the first stop, Gaotang Temple.

The horse-drawn carriage is much faster than the ox cart, but it is not as fast as riding a horse. Last time, Fu Shi and He Tao arrived at Gaotang Temple in less than three hours, but this time they walked for a full day on the road before arriving before dark. .

Many people come to Gaotang Temple to pay homage during the new year, so the inn at the foot of the mountain is still open.Everyone who sat in the car until their legs became numb got out of the car and stomped their feet when they entered the house—except Fu Shi.He frantically asked the shopkeeper to prepare dinner, ran up and down to choose a room he wanted, and moved the twins' cots into the room by himself, before sitting down to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, after the bell of the morning class in Gaotang Temple rang, everyone in the Great Wasteland also got up, and started climbing the mountain after having breakfast at the inn.

Along the way, I met many pilgrims who came to offer incense, as well as hawkers selling incense candles.Fu Shi spent money to buy a lot of incense, let Nianzu and Li Yousi hug each other, walked and talked all the way, and arrived at the gate of the temple two quarters of an hour later.

Offering incense, kneeling, and making wishes, a group of people went up from the front mountain to the Daxiong Palace at the highest point. After a short rest, they descended from the back mountain and enjoyed the winter scene of Gaotang Temple - the century-old plum grove. Qingliang Nunnery on the mountainside.

It is still the same as entering the door to offer incense and kneel down.Master Jingxin came forward to receive her two little disciples, and tied a red rope to each of the twins. It is said that she personally recited scriptures to consecrate them, and wished them a smooth and smooth year.

Fu Shi generously donated another 50 taels of sesame oil money.

After going down the mountain, I rested at the inn for another night, and set off for the provincial capital early the next morning. The provincial capital is far away, and it was too late to arrive in one day. I rested for another night in Huyang County, and arrived in the morning of the [-]th. provincial capital.

The city walls of the Shunan Provincial Government were thick and tall, no worse than the walls of the Forbidden City that He Tao had seen in his previous life.

The carriage couldn't go in directly. The group got off the car at the gate of the city and went forward sequentially in the line entering the city. He Tao kept looking up at the city wall with his head up, and his mouth never closed. It was a typical expression of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.Not only her, but also Nianzu and others, they all looked like they were eye-opening.

"The walls are so high!"

"Much higher than those in Nanshan County!"

"Look, there are still soldiers guarding it!"

"They are wearing armor. Hey, do you think they also went to the battlefield and killed the enemy? Just like the uncle..."

Fu Shi has been to the provincial capital many times, and he is used to it.In his opinion, although the city wall here is tall, it is not as good as the dilapidated old city wall in the border city. The city wall there is stained with the blood of soldiers over and over again. The thick color makes people feel heartbroken at first glance. It's trembling, what's here, it's just good-looking.Although the soldiers here are well-equipped, they are just putting on airs and looking at them. Any soldier from the barracks in the border town can beat the captain here to the crap...

Pay the entrance fee and enter the city.He Tao and the others got into the carriage, leaned on the car window and looked at the shops and stalls on both sides of the road without blinking, chattering non-stop.

Luo Shou maturely drove the carriage and led them to an inn between the city gate and the downtown area.

"The owner of this inn is from our hometown. People from our side all live in this inn. I just don't know if you like it? Why don't you go in and have a look, if not, let's change to another one?"

"Daughter-in-law, let's go and have a look!" Fu Shi himself is not picky. He Tao is the only one who pays attention to the quality of the inn.

"Okay!" He Tao nodded and handed the child to He Youliang, and followed Fu Shi into the Willow Inn.

It was meal time at this time, and there were many guests eating in the lobby, filled with the smell of food, He Tao sniffled, it seemed to smell pretty good.

Seeing a guest coming in, the waiter in the waiter enthusiastically ran up to receive him: "Guest officers, are you a top student or staying in the hotel?"

He Tao couldn't help laughing when he heard this classic line.

Fu Shi, who didn't know why, glanced at her and replied, "Can you show us the guest room?"

"Success! Come with me..." Xiaoer led them inside, and asked as he walked, "What kind of room do you two want to live in? The best room here is the Tianzi room, which costs half a dollar a night. The general price is [-] Wen a night, what’s worse, there are [-] Wen, and there are also [-] Wen for Tongpu.”

He Tao clicked his tongue, the provincial capital is indeed a provincial capital, the buildings are tall, and even the prices are also high!The price of accommodation is more than five times that of Huyang County!
"Is there a separate small yard?" He Tao asked.

As soon as Xiao Er heard her asking about the small yard, knowing that this was a big customer, the smile on her face deepened, and she replied: "Yes, we have four yards here, the largest one has eight bedrooms, and the small one has eight bedrooms. It has four bedrooms..."

"Take us to see the small yard!" Four bedrooms are more than enough.

Xiaoer led them to a row of adjacent courtyards behind the main building of the inn. The smallest one was almost the same as the house in the small inner courtyard of the Great Wasteland.When I went in, I saw that the inside and outside of the house were clean, and there were several strings of red lanterns hanging in the yard, which looked festive.

He Tao felt quite satisfied, and asked Xiaoer, "How much money per night?"

"Five taels of silver for one night!"

"The best room only costs half a penny?" He Tao felt that such a small courtyard was too expensive.

Xiaoer explained: "It's clean here. Although the Tianzifang is good, after all, there are people living on the opposite side of the two sides! Moreover, our small courtyard is cleaned by someone specially, and there is a small kitchen inside. It's also convenient..."

"Okay, then we want this one!" He Tao thought about it, there is always a reason why it is expensive, and spending money to buy a clean and convenient one is not lacking in this point anyway.Just enjoy the Presidential Suite!
"Hey! Okay!" Xiaoer was happy, bent over and said, "I don't know how many nights you plan to stay? If you want to stay for a few more days, I think you should settle now! There will be many guests tomorrow, People from many nearby counties will come to see the Lantern Festival..."

"Why don't we book for four nights first?" He Tao asked Fu Shi.

It takes four days to go back and forth. I am really sorry for the hard work along the way if I don’t spend a few more days in the provincial capital!

Fu Shi nodded: "OK!"

"Then we'll stay for four days!"

"Okay, then you will follow me to the front to register?"

"it is good."

Xiaoer led them to the shopkeeper to pay the rent, ran back and forth to arrange a carriage, sent someone to bring mattresses, quilts and other things for the bedroom, and helped them order lunch and bring it to the small courtyard , and finally bent towards He Tao: "Guest officer, take a rest, my name is Erbao, if you need anything, just call me..."

"Okay." He Tao nodded, remembering that it seemed like a reward at this time, she took out her Taobao bag, took out a piece of broken silver, and handed it to Er Bao: "I will trouble you in the next few days..."

"Thank you, don't worry, Erbao will definitely arrange for you smoothly!" Erbao accepted the reward, smiling until his gums were showing, and said, "I see that you are also here for the lantern festival, right? Shall I reserve a place for you to watch the parade?"

"Oh, do you have connections?" He Tao had no hope for this at first.She thought that even if there was a good place, it would probably be taken up by the big families in the city, so she planned to take a walk on the street to have a look.

Er Bao said with a smile: "The best places must have been booked long ago, but you can still find some convenient ones. Our local ones are more comfortable than standing on the street!"

It was a surprise that He Tao was able to find it, and if they didn't find it, it was not because of their own effort, so they nodded and said: "Okay, then you can do it!"

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

Erbao's work efficiency is quite fast. He Tao and the others just finished lunch when he came back to answer.

"There is still a private room facing the street in Debao Restaurant on the East Street that has not been booked, and there is also one on the West Street..." Er Bao smoothly told him all about his inquiries. There were seven choices in total. Said: "The parade of floats on the Shangyuan Festival comes out from the government office, and walks around the four streets of east, west, north, south, east, and west. You can see the head and tail on the east street, and there are many century-old shops on the west street. The lights are the most gorgeous, and on West Street, there are many stalls and hawkers, and the night market is lively..."

He Tao thought about it, and still booked a private room at Debao Restaurant on East Avenue.

"Success, then I'll settle it for you!" Er Bao said and was about to go out.

He Tao stopped him again: "We're going to go shopping in the street this afternoon, is there anything worth visiting around here?"

"Let's go out of the inn, turn right and go straight. There are many shops over there. There are cloth houses, silver houses, bookstores, and antique shops. They are all well-known and well-known in the city. You can be sure that you go there! "

So He Tao and Fu Shi led a group of little ghosts to go shopping. They were in charge of selecting, and Fu Shi was in charge of paying. There are everything you wear, wear, and bring.

He Tao looked at the pile of boxes and settled the accounts, and the 300 taels were gone!

Tourism really is equal to burning money!
