Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Chapter 657 Extra Story: The Hero and the Lady (4)

Bai Yitang leaned against the car, the spring breeze was slightly intoxicating, which made him drowsy, but in fact he did fall asleep.

Holding the rein in his hand, he let the horse move forward at will. His eyes were slightly closed, and he swayed with the shaking of the carriage. When a business traveler on the same road speeded up to meet him, he would always turn his head to look curiously. When they saw the driver dozing off on the shaft of their carriage, they couldn't help being speechless.

Qin Wenyin was full of sleep, and when she opened the car door, she saw him staggering and wanted to get out of the car, so she stretched out her hand and gently pushed him, "Go in and sleep, I'll drive."

Bai Yitang opened his eyes and glanced at her, closed the car door, pulled her to sit beside him and said, "No, it's more comfortable to be outside, and you can enjoy the spring breeze too."

The shaft was one meter wide, and for comfort, they spread wolf fur on it, because it was well tanned and the fur was very soft after sitting for a long time.

Sitting on it, Qin Wenyin didn't feel much bumps. Although it wasn't the first time to drive with Bai Yitang, she couldn't help but blush when seeing the merchants coming and going looking at them.

"Why are there so many people in this pipeline?"

Bai Yitang yawned, squinted his eyes and said, "This is the only official road leading to Ningxia Wei after leaving the Great Wall. Merchants from Taiyuan, Xi'an, Chengdu, and even Jiangnan and Guangdong and Guangxi regions all converge on this road in the end. , there are naturally many people.”

Bai Yitang said softly: "Ningxia Wei is a newly opened mutual market, and well-informed businessmen will naturally seize the opportunity to grab some shares first, or they can make a deal first."

If they hadn't happened to be in Xi'an and happened to hear the passing merchants talking about it, they wouldn't have caught up with this trend.

Ningxia Wei is the fourth mutual market opened by Dachu and Tatar. Tatar just quelled the tribal rebellion in the country. In exchange for food and salt tea, it made a great effort to negotiate with Dachu to open this fourth mutual market.

And Qin Wenyin wanted to take advantage of this shareholder wind to visit Tatar again, this time she wanted to go to Tatar King City.

It would be even better if she could draw a map, but she couldn't. She is also very interested in some Tatar customs.

Bai Yitang has always listened to her when it comes to travel destinations, so the journey that was originally going south turned north.

Knowing that the exchange market was newly opened, he also bought a lot of salt and silk belts, which can be sold as goods or given as gifts.

Their car is too eye-catching, and it is not easy to get out of the customs.

The carriage pulled over slowly, and the vehicles behind kept overtaking them. If it was someone else, they would have been in a hurry, but Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin were not in a hurry at all. Bai Yitang watched Qin Wenyin look at the wild flowers on the side of the road twice, and he even jumped off The carriage folded a flower and stuck it on her head, and said with a smile, "It's pretty."

Qin Wenyin's face was reddish, and she gave him a look with a smile in her eyes.

Bai Yitang chuckled, and stretched out his hand to hold her. Qin Wenyin shyly withdrew her hand and said angrily, "There are a lot of people."

Bai Yitang couldn't help sighing, before on the road, he might not meet a single person in three or two days, he thought it would be nice if there were people.

As a result, there are too many people now, which is actually not good at all.

Bai Yitang looked up at the sun in the sky, "Are you hungry, let's find a place to stop and eat."

"good."

Bai Yitang flicked the rein and accelerated forward. Soon they found a fairly flat place ahead, where many business travelers settled down.

Bai Yitang also turned the carriage into the forest, and everyone couldn't help but look curious when they saw his extended carriage.

This carriage is really too big, but it is twice the size of a normal carriage, and the two horses and mules in front are obvious, especially the two thousand-mile horses, which are not affordable by ordinary people.

Because of this fear, no one dared to strike up a conversation.

As soon as Bai Yitang stopped the carriage, Qin Wenyin pushed open the door, took down the wooden basin, opened the belly of the carriage from the side, poured some cold water from it, then took down the kettle on the carriage, poured some hot water and washed his hands .

When she was washing her hands, Bai Yitang took down the stove in the carriage, charcoal was still burning in it, and a big bone was being stewed in the pot on the stove.

Putting down the stove, he found a mat from the belly of the cart and spread it on the ground, and put two cushions on the mat, and then went to feed the horses and mules.

Qin Wenyin took out the rice from the car belly, washed it, put aside the big bone broth that had been simmering all morning, added charcoal and started cooking.

Seeing that the fire was burning, she no longer guarded it, but went to wash the vegetables and mushrooms prepared yesterday, put them in a basket and put them aside.

He took out another piece of ham from the belly of the cart, cut it into thin slices, and called Bai Yitang when the rice was almost cooked.

After washing his hands, Bai Yitang opened the lid of the pot, picked up the sliced ​​ham and sprinkled it in. The slices were scattered and never overlapped, and then he put the lid on the pot.

Everyone looked at it and thought that he lifted the lid of the pot, and covered the pot as soon as the hot pot was spilled. They didn't understand why Qin Wenyin didn't do such a simple thing by himself, but called Bai Yitang instead?

While waiting for the rice to be cooked, Bai Yitang took down the hand-warming stove on the car, put on charcoal fire directly, and put a small teapot on it to boil water.

"I still have some snow left over from the plum blossoms, how about using that to make tea?"

Bai Yitang didn't ask for the water for making tea, so he went to the car belly to find the can of snow water that was stuffed somewhere.

Naturally, the hand stove will not cook tea quickly, so Bai Yitang moved the hand stove to one side and left it alone, then took off the cooked rice and put it in the pot filled with big bone soup, and put the mushrooms in after the soup boiled again , Wait until the mushrooms are almost cooked and then put down the vegetables.

Qin Wenyin served him rice, and when the lid of the pot was opened, the aroma of ham floated out, causing people nearby to turn their heads to look at them frequently.

Seeing people eating ham rice, drinking big bone soup, and cooking vegetables, I suddenly felt that the dry food carefully prepared in my hand was tasteless at all.

There are also a few restaurants in the vicinity who eat it, but because of the limited time, they use the stove to boil hot water to scald some meat slices and vegetables, big bone soup or something...

Everyone's eyes couldn't help falling on the carriage, and they didn't know how many things were stuffed in the stomach of that carriage, including water and charcoal.

If they had such a carriage, they would surely be able to boil bone broth in the carriage, as well as chicken soup and various soups.

After finishing his meal, Bai Yitang started to pack his things. The wooden barrels on their cars are filled with water every time they go to a place, and today they can reach another town, so the water can be used wherever they want.

Bai Yitang washed the pots and bowls with water and put them back in the car. Qin Wenyin had already made tea, so the two of them sat on the mat and sipped tea. Because they were full and the breeze blew, Bai Yitang wanted to sleep again.

Spring is indeed a good time for taking a nap and sleeping in.

Seeing Qin Wenyin's eyes narrowed slightly, Bai Yitang stepped forward to help her, and said in a low voice, "Get in the car and go to sleep."

Qin Wenyin responded softly, and helped him get into the car by the hand.

She lay down on the couch on the right, Bai Yitang opened the car window and lowered the gauze curtain to prevent outsiders from seeing and flying insects coming in.

The spring breeze slowly blows into the car through the gauze curtain, with the aroma of green grass and flowers lingering at the tip of the nose.

Bai Yitang kissed Qin Wenyin on the forehead, covered her stomach with a thin blanket, then exited the carriage and closed the door.

He stuffed the mat on the ground into the belly of the car, took the stove and tea set back to the car, and then walked on the shaft, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

The merchants on the side were stunned. There were only these two people in the luxury carriage. From this look, they didn't look like masters and servants, but rather, rather...

But which rich and powerful person doesn't take anyone with him when he goes out, but drives the car by himself?

But if you are not a rich person, look at the carriage, look at their food and clothing, how can you afford it if you are not from a wealthy background, and how can you pay attention to these things?

"It's getting late, let's set off." Everyone took a break after lunch, because the spring sun was not shining, and everyone only had a short rest before starting the road.

One of the tea merchants hesitated for a moment, and before leaving, he went forward to salute Bai Yitang, who seemed to be sleeping soundly on the shaft of the car, and said, "Brother, there is Baihujian in front of you, and bandits often come and go, so we still have to go with you. good."

Bai Yitang opened his eyes, stood up and replied: "Thank you for reminding me, brother, you guys go first, I will catch up in a while."

The tea merchant glanced at their two horses and two mules, and nodded.

This foot strength endurance, speed will not be bad. The tea merchant turned and left with his caravan.

His younger brother was puzzled and said, "Why did the elder brother remind him?"

"It's not easy to go out, so if you can remind me, it's good to have a good relationship. Let's go, the front is Baihujian, don't fall behind."

The business travelers set off one after another, and soon there was only Bai Yitang's carriage left.

Bai Yitang yawned, and waited for the car in front of him to go far away, then he got up and took off the wolf skin, opened the wooden board and took out a crossbow from inside.

Put the crossbow and arrows into the carriage, then close the boards and spread the wolf skins, drive the carriage to the official road and start the journey.

He didn't walk fast, trying to drive the car smoothly, Qin Wenyin opened his eyes to take a look, then turned over and fell asleep again in a daze.

After walking for more than an hour, Bai Yitang slowly caught up with the caravan in front of him. He raised his head and looked at the sun, then let the horse walk freely, opened the car door and said to the human who was still unwilling to wake up on the couch: "Wen Yin, you should wake up and go to bed at night."

Qin Wenyin tried her best to open her eyes, but in the end she was too sleepy and decided to sleep for a while.

Bai Yitang saw that she moved a little but remained silent, so he reined in his horse helplessly, went in and hugged her, coaxing her in a low voice: "I'm thirsty, please help me make a pot of tea."

Qin Wenyin yawned and said, "Let me sleep for a while, I'll soak you for a while."

Bai Yitang couldn't help laughing in a low voice, "Are you dreaming? Don't sleep, you won't be able to fall asleep if you sleep too much at night. Come out and accompany me, I'm so boring by myself."

Although Chunsun was sleepy, he would get dizzy if he slept too much, Bai Yitang didn't want Qin Wenyin to look sluggish tomorrow.
