A quarter of an hour later, the group embarked on their journey to Fucheng.

With one big and three small ones added, it was obvious that there would be no room for a carriage.

Liu Ping sent several people to the town in a donkey cart.

The three little ones like to ride in a donkey cart. After all, they are their own donkeys, so they have different feelings. Moreover, the donkey cart is open, so it’s cool to sit on it!

They want to sit with mother!

Then Su Xiaoxiao was also dragged into the donkey cart.

The family of five was neat and tidy, but Liu Ping was squeezed out and got into the carriage.

With a kick of the donkey's hoof, it flew away!

Shopkeeper Sun looked at the donkey running wildly, and suspected that his eyes were dazzled: "No, are you buying a donkey?"

Why is it faster than his horse?

After going to the town, Su Xiaoxiao found a car dealer and hired a carriage.

Wei Ting saw that there were only carriages but no coachman, and asked, "Where is the coachman?"

"It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you." Su Xiaoba handed Wei Ting a whip.

Lord Wei: "..."

Su Xiaoxiao spread his hands: "It's not cheap to hire a driver. Eighty copper coins a day, and we have to cover food and housing. Let's save some if we can! Yes, big tigers, two tigers and little tigers?"

The three little ones nodded.

Xiaohu clenched his fists and said, "Save money!"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at someone: "I think you know horses quite well, you should... you can't even drive a carriage?"

Look, even the aggressive method is used.

What can Wei Ting say?

If I had known earlier, it would be better to sell cakes on the street.

Wei Ting had a handsome face that was so handsome that people complained, and he drove the carriage through the city ostentatiously.

This is much higher than the exposure rate of selling pancakes.

So, after Xishi, the shortbread man, there is another carriage man, Zhaojun, in Xinghua Town.

The carriage left Xinghua Town and drove into the official road to Fucheng, with rice fields stretching as far as the eye can see on both sides of the road.

There is still half a month before the planting time of early rice, and the rice fields are now bare, a desert-like barrenness.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that there was nothing to look at, but the three little ones squeezed their little heads in front of the car window one by one.

"Mom, is that salty?"

"weed."

"that!"

"White birch."

"White birch."

"The tree next to it is not a birch tree, but a camphor tree."

Xiaohu talked the most, chatting all the way.

Occasionally, Dahu and Erhu would ask a few questions, but Su Xiaoxiao was very patient.

Wei Ting snorted softly, and continued to work as a driver for the first and third juniors.

When the little ones went out in the morning, they all seemed to have had chicken blood, and the bumps stopped in the afternoon. They were listless, and they yawned one after another.

"Are you sleepy?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The three shook their heads: "Not sleepy."

The next second, he fell asleep staggeringly.

After a long day's journey, they arrived in Fucheng at dusk.

This time it is not staying in Yuelai Inn.

Shopkeeper Sun opened the curtain of the carriage, and said to Su Xiaoxiao who was on the parallel carriage: "The place to worship the ancestors is at Banyue Mountain. Let's go seven or eight li to the east. There is an inn there, which is near Banyue Mountain."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "There, it seems not far from Master Huijue's nunnery?"

Shopkeeper Sun said: "Yes, it is much closer to the nunnery than Yuelai Inn. Are you going to visit Mrs. Huijue this time?"

"En." Su Xiaoxiao nodded, not to mention that Mrs. Fu asked her to bring something, but she didn't bring it. Last time, she also promised Mrs. Huijue that if she came to Fucheng again, she would go to the nunnery to sit with her.

"Are you going tonight?" Shopkeeper Sun asked.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the dark sky: "No, it's too late today, let's wait for another day, when we finish our business."

Shopkeeper Sun said: "Alright."

Concentrate on doing business first, and then go to visit and play when you are done.

Since I brought the three little guys out, I have to take a stroll in Fucheng, right?

It is not easy for children to come out and see something.

The inn they stayed in was called Banyueshan Inn. Compared with Yuelai Inn, the conditions were a little worse. This time, it was not that shopkeeper Sun wanted to save money, but that there was only such an inn nearby.

And because there are big families who want to worship their ancestors, the room is already full.

"One, is there any room left?" Shopkeeper Sun asked.

The shopkeeper of the inn looked up at him, then looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was beside him, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you Miss Su?"

"I am." Su Xiao, "You know me?"

The shopkeeper of the inn showed a polite smile: "Master Huijue mentioned you to me, you... are very recognizable."

Just call me fat!

The shopkeeper of the inn said kindly: "Master asked me to reserve rooms for you. There are four rooms in total. Do you think it is enough?"

Su Xiaoxiao snorted: "Master Huijue knows that I'm coming?"

She hasn't visited her yet!

Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Shopkeeper Sun: "Where did you negotiate your business?"

Shopkeeper Sun said: "Someone came to the door. At the Wang family's banquet... I told the guests where I live, and I also left a name card."

Su Xiaoxiao finally understood that shopkeeper Sun negotiated the deal by himself, and this business was most likely introduced by Mrs. Huijue.

She just said, she has offended Li Futai, how could anyone dare to praise her?

I thought he was from another place and didn't know about it, but now that I think about it, if I can get in touch with Mrs. Huijue, I'm not afraid of someone like Li Futai at all.

Later, she will have to find an opportunity to thank Mrs. Huijue.

There are four rooms, one for Su Xiaoxiao and San Xiaozhi, one for Wei Ting, one for Su Ergou and Xiao Wu, and one for shopkeeper Sun.

Shopkeeper Sun expressed surprise that the young couple lived in the same room.

But thinking about it again, the bed in the inn is not big, and there are three children lying across the middle, it is indeed difficult to sleep.

Su Xiaoxiao has always been extremely rigorous and serious in her work, whether it is a big client or not, and whether it is introduced by Teacher Huijue or not, she will do her best to deal with it.

"Shopkeeper Sun, it's me."

She knocked on Shopkeeper Sun's door.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Shopkeeper Sun opened the door for her.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I have a question to ask you, did the family say any taboos on the sacrifices? For example, meat, lard and so on?"

Shopkeeper Sun said: "I asked, and they said no, you can just do what you are good at."

The sacrifices are offered to the ancestors, but after the sacrifices, the sacrifices will be distributed. These sacrifices are usually considered to be blessed by the ancestors, and they can be blessed by the ancestors after eating.

Su Xiaoxiao probably knew it.

Shopkeeper Sun suddenly said, "It just so happens that the family that invited us to make dim sum is also named Su."

...

Su Xiaoxiao went back to her room.

The three little ones opened their eyes wide and sat on the bed energetically.

Su Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat.

I slept all afternoon... Are you... full of sleep?

Du Hu said: "Mother, I'm hungry."

Erhu said: "Eat chicken legs."

Xiaohu said: "Eat pancakes!"

Su Xiaoxiao ruthlessly refused: "You can't eat cakes."

Xiaohu was wronged, but Xiaohu didn't say anything.

The three of them slept together during the day, and when they woke up at this hour, they would not sleep again until the middle of the night.

There is a small market a mile away, and when I passed by it, it was very lively.

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, went to the next door and called Su Ergou and Xiao Wu, and Wei Ting, and went to the market together.

Shopkeeper Sun will not go, his old bones cannot keep up with the physical strength of young people.

Xiao Wu drives the car.

Sanxiao just doesn't want to take a carriage, they want Jiulu!

The big tiger and the two tigers quickly occupied Su Xiaoxiao's left and right hands, and the little tiger was so angry that he stamped jiojio!

"I don't want to walk." Xiaohu said to Wei Ting.

Wei Ting decisively lifted Xiaohu up and threw it to Su Ergou.

The market here is not as good as that in Fucheng, but there are still many stalls.

San Xiaozhi drooled at the stall selling fried leek boxes.

Su Xiaoxiao ordered six boxes of chives, and asked Su Ergou to buy eggnog glutinous rice balls from the stall next door.

She lost weight and stopped eating these sugar and oil mixtures.

When he sat down, Xiaohu successfully grabbed the seat next to his mother, and shook his little head happily!

Wei Ting got up suddenly, and they left without making a sound.

Su Xiaoxiao thought he was looking for the toilet, but when he came back, he had a roasted sweet potato in his hand.

"Bought it by chance." He said lightly.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "Then why give it to me?"

Wei Ting took the sweet potato back: "It's fine if you don't eat it."

"Eat!" Su Xiaoxiao snatched the sweet potato over with a snap, peeled off the crispy outer skin, the outer skin was a little burnt, and there was a faint sweet and sour smell after chewing on the burnt place.

Compared with the pure sweet part in the middle, Su Xiaoxiao actually prefers to nibble here.

Her little round face was full of meat, and she took a bite, her little cheeks were bulging, like a little chubby squirrel looking for food.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you eat? Are you not hungry?" Su Ergou asked.

Wei Ting looked away from Su Xiaoxiao's face, grabbed the leek box on the plate and said, "Eat."

Su Ergou smacked his lips, thinking that if you don't eat it, I'll eat it for you!

The leek box and eggnog are full, but Su Xiaoxiao forbids them to eat any more: "It's too late, it's hard to digest if you eat too much. Let's eat it tomorrow."

Hearing that he could come tomorrow, Su Ergou happily accepted.

The group returned to the inn.

The three little ones were so excited that they didn't want to sleep, they rolled around on the bed.

Wei Ting said: "I'll watch them, you sleep first."

Su Xiaoxiao was going to get up early tomorrow, so she was not polite with Wei Ting, she rolled up the quilt and fell asleep.

When she woke up, Wei Ting was no longer in the room, and the three little ones were sleeping on their backs, one at the head of the bed, one at the foot of the bed, and one on the side.

Su Xiaoxiao arranged the little ones, covered them with quilts, and then began to dress and wash.

Shopkeeper Sun went to bed early and woke up early, so he first woke up Xiao Wu, went to the stable to feed the horses, and then ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the lobby, the steaming steamed buns were already out of the oven.

"Boss, did you sleep well last night?" Shopkeeper Sun asked.

"It's okay." Su Xiaoxiao sat down beside him.

Shopkeeper Sun said: "Xiao Wu went to call Ergou, and he will be down in a while. This steamed stuffed bun is made for you, and there are new ones in the kitchen."

Su Xiaoxiao took a bite of the steamed bun: "It tastes good."

The ingredients are very fresh. Pepper powder and ginger powder are used to remove the meaty smell. After one bite, the juice is slightly bursting, and the taste is between Xiaolongbao and soup dumplings.

"You eat too." Su Xiaoxiao said to him.

Shopkeeper Sun smiled: "You eat first, I'll wait for Ergou to come over."

Su Xiaoxiao has no sense of dignity in her bones, but shopkeeper Sun will not forget her identity just because of this, the boss is giving face, it is the boss's generosity, he can't push his nose on the face.

There is still a measure that should be there.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, and ate two more.

Shopkeeper Sun: "Boss, I went to inquire again this morning."

"What are you asking?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Shopkeeper Sun said in a low voice: "That's right, the person who invited us to make dim sum. I thought it was a business I was talking about, so I didn't think about it in detail. But after I thought about it at night, this business is probably brokered by Mrs. Huijue , it must not be an ordinary family, so I inquired about it."

Didn't you inquire about it, did you dig the bottom?

Guests came down from the lobby one after another.

Shopkeeper Sun lowered his voice, and said, "The family named Su came from the capital, and they are said to be high-ranking officials in the capital! No wonder we are not afraid that we will offend Li Futai!"

"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao continued to eat the steamed buns.

No, why are you so calm?

We have received business from the nobles in the capital! Wow! What a gimmick! In the future, it will be spread that Kam Kee is not worthy of carrying our shoes!

Shopkeeper Sun has been excited for a long time anyway, and has even planned a hundred ways in his mind to brag, build momentum, and kill Jinji.

Shopkeeper Sun continued: "Their ancestral home is Pingcheng, Qingzhou, and they will return to their hometown to worship their ancestors every few years, but I heard that there are fewer people coming back these years. Do you know why?"

Su Xiaoxiao said honestly, "I don't know."

Shopkeeper Sun: You are really a bad eye-catcher!

Shopkeeper Sun only spent money to inquire about the gossip, and he couldn't vomit quickly: "It is said that many years ago, the Su family went back to their hometown to worship their ancestors and encountered robbers. A wife and her child of the Su family were brutally murdered by the robbers! After that, fewer people from the Su family came back! This time, it is said that the grave will be relocated!"

"sister!"

Su Ergou went downstairs, "It smells so good!"

Shopkeeper Sun said to Xiao Wu: "Go to the kitchen and let us bring out the remaining three cages of buns."

Xiao Wu replied: "Okay."

Su Ergou was about to move his chopsticks, Su Xiaoxiao said, "Send a cage up for your brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law is still awake." Su Ergou said, "I didn't even hear any movement in his room."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Go if you are told."

"Oh." Su Ergou obediently picked up a basket of buns and knocked on the door of brother-in-law's room.
