Chapter Eighteen: The Adventures of Yuankang City
The dirt road was a bit bumpy. Qin Shumei covered the pearls in the secret pocket on her chest that were rising and falling with the bumps, knowing that the biggest one was missing.
"I didn't say, just let me take you into the city. Others really don't know this way."
Niu Dapeng, with a proud look on his face, drove the cart skillfully and led the team at the front, chatting away at random.
"Did you see it? That's Yuan Kang City. Isn't it grand?"
Qin Shumei sat up after hearing this and looked towards where Niu Dapeng was pointing.
In the distance is a small gray city, which looks dim under the gorgeous sunset. If Ziyun City is at the level of a palace, then Yuankang City is just an adobe house.
Embarrassed to refute Niu Dapeng, she lay on her back on the pile of goods again, thinking about what to do after entering the city.
"The officer who guards the city is familiar with me, so there will be no problem entering the city." Niu Dapeng vowed, patting his chest and promising.
"You just have to pay the city fee, which is enough for each person."
When he remembered this, he lowered his voice, looked at Yang Zhaoquan, and spoke in a low voice. Niu Dapeng only had the two cents he had brought into the city, and he didn't have any more.
Do you need money to enter a city? The people who defend the city are quite shady. As long as you own this city, getting rich by relying on tolls is not a dream.
Qin Shumei shook her head and did not get up. Apart from pearls, she had only silver notes on her body. If she gave it as a benefit, it would be a big trouble.
Yang Zhaoquan took out a handful of copper coins from his money bag. When he was arrested, all the money on his body had been plundered. This was taken from the assassin who assassinated them.
Niu Dapeng took it with a smile, counted it, and returned the extra to Yang Zhaoquan.
"Just say that we are here to sell vegetables and you don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of that."
Although he was tough on his words, Niu Dapeng became nervous for no reason when he saw the familiar city gate approaching. He had obviously entered a place many times, but he couldn't help but get sweaty palms.
After getting into the queue to enter the city, he discovered that the guards here were twice as strict as before. The usual relaxation was gone, and the entire city gate was surrounded by a sense of severity.
"What are you doing in the city?"
The guard asked questions while turning over the things on the bullock cart.
Facing the familiar face of the guard, Niu Dapeng felt his throat was dry. He opened his mouth but only a hoarse sound came out. He could only clear his throat first.
"Ahem, sir, don't you remember the little one? Niu Dapeng!" He pointed at himself with a slightly trembling finger, and an ugly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
There was Yang Wu, a cold-faced god, behind him, and there were officers and soldiers with stinking faces in front of him. He felt that the seconds he spent in the city seemed like years.
"The younger one is here to sell vegetables. No, let's bring a few familiar people from the village to help." Niu Dapeng said as he put the warm copper plate in his hand into the guard's hand.
The guard lowered his head and counted the money, curled his lips and put the money into the bag.
"You bring a woman to sell vegetables?" He glanced at Qin Shumei playfully out of the corner of his eye, and then glared at Niu Dapeng.
"Sister-in-law knows how to settle accounts, and she will help us settle accounts with her." Yanchang saw that Niu Dapeng was speechless and sweating, and knew that he could no longer rely on this honest countryman.
He took a few steps forward and pushed Niu Dapeng away, then stuffed a bag into the guard's hand, and smiled flatteringly with a low eyebrow: "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
The guard weighed the money bag and heard the crisp sound of copper plates hitting each other. He was quite satisfied with the weight and glanced at Yanchang.
"Don't blame me for being strict in the investigation. This is a strict order issued by the imperial court. From here to Liangzhou, every city along the way must be strictly inspected. We are the ones who enforce it." He casually put the money bag into his arms and let the way go.
.
"Brother Chuan, are you letting them go like this? Aren't you afraid that they are the fugitives?"
As he watched the bullock cart go away, a younger guard next to him came up to him and nudged him with his elbow.
"What are you afraid of? It's not like I've never seen Niu Dapeng before. Give him a hundred courages to get involved with fugitives?" The man who was called Brother Chuan took out a few copper coins from his wallet and stuffed them into the hands of the little guard.
"Is it so easy for us to encounter fugitives? It's better to just turn a blind eye."
The little guard took the money and happily went back and stood still. Brother Chuan was wise. If the sky was falling and he was tall, he would have nothing to worry about.
This group of strong men entered the city twice as fast as the old lady in front of them.
Genuine fugitives can fish in troubled waters under the eyes of the guards by relying on the copper plate. Qin Shumei looked at the distant city gate and couldn't help but sigh: Money can make the world go round.
Yuankang City is very much the same inside and out. As dilapidated as it is on the outside, it is as crude as it is on the inside.
There is only one main street in the whole city, and there are very few shops. Because it is close to the city gate, there are really few shops open for business. Pedestrians on the road are rushing to go home, and only one restaurant is still open during the dinner time.
Door panel, trying to attract a few customers.
"Let's go have a meal first. I'm tired today." Yang Zhaoquan said, and no one in the team dared to disobey. Even Niu Dapeng obediently handed over the cow he was holding to the waiter.
The waiter is a young man who knows how to get things done. The bright smile that he always wears on his face adds a few wrinkles to his face, and he smiles with a sense of vicissitudes of life that does not belong to his age.
"Guests, please come in. What do you want to order?"
Listening to this classic line, Qin Shumei couldn't hold her mouth shut for a while, and grunted casually: "Watch it!"
When Yanchang heard these words, he subconsciously held his deflated money bag and stared at Qin Shumei in shock.
Is this still the sister-in-law who ate and slept in the open with everyone?! Sister-in-law, please wake up! This is not the Duke’s mansion! We have no money now!
Although Yang Zhaoquan knew that he didn't have much money now, looking at Qin Shu's bright eyes, he still accepted her willfulness. The little girl has suffered a lot along the way. Now she wants to order food from a restaurant like this, why should she?
Do you look at your own face?
If he couldn't afford it, the worst he could do was eat the Overlord meal, ah no, the worst he could do was work for the store to pay off the debt. Anyway, he and San Yan had nothing but all their strength.
Niu Dapeng saw that no one raised any objections, so naturally he didn't say anything to stop him. Whoever ordered the food would pay for it, and he could have a good meal along with it. He would stop others from ordering because he was out of his mind.
In fact, Qin Shumei regretted it as soon as she said these words.
But this sentence seemed to ignite the waiter's fire. He was like a kicker. While launching into the kitchen, he let out an earth-shattering cry: "Go to the next table with the best!"
Come on, it's too late to regret it. Qin Shumei smiled awkwardly at a few people and held on to the hidden bag on her chest. It seemed that she had to break off another pearl on her body.
The treatment and the speed at which the cold dishes are served are amazing.
"The dishes are here, please take your time!" The waiter held the plate steadily, as if what he was holding was not cucumber salad, but dragon liver and phoenix brains.
There were three plates on the table. The newly arrived cucumber salad was joined by the cold cucumber salad and the cold bitter melon salad. The three dishes together became pure green.
Qin Shumei put down her hand that was touching the pearl, and it turned out that the disaster would not be eliminated if the money was lost. The disaster would not go away until the money was broken. Her poor stomach seemed to be in trouble.
Even if I went out to eat greenery in my previous life, I would not eat greener and healthier than in this life.
"Do you have any meat dishes here?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The waiter in the shop conjured up a plate of pig ears and carefully placed it in front of Qin Shumei.
She took a bite of the pig ear, hey, it tastes like a rubber band, it tastes like old pickles, it has... hard pig hair that has not been plucked out.
Qin Shumei silently put down the chopsticks she had just picked up, and stopped the waiter who was hurriedly going to the kitchen with one hand.
"How is your store's normal business?"
