Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Third Master, you are hungry, you can eat." Xiang Nan handed a black nest to Qianlong and said.

Qianlong had never eaten this kind of food, and he was so hungry that he took a bite immediately after taking it, which almost broke his teeth.

"What is this, can this be eaten?" He covered his mouth and cursed loudly.

"Third Lord, this is called Heiwowo, and it's made with sorghum noodles." Xiang Nan explained.

"Sorghum?! Isn't that for livestock?" Qianlong asked in surprise, "The common people under my rule eat this?"

"Your Majesty, if the common people can eat black sorghum noodles, it will be a peaceful life." Xiang Nan sighed and said, "I have been to Yunzhou, Lanzhou, and the Western Regions, let alone the people there. Wotou eats even bark, grass roots, and soil..."

"Wow~" Qianlong felt disgusted when he heard it, "I can't imagine that it is so hard for me to govern the country, and the common people are eating black nests that are as hard as stones, and drinking well water that is as bitter as medicine soup... so, I am still nervous. Is it a crime to take money out of the pockets of ordinary people while repairing gardens?"

"Third Lord, it's good if you understand." Xiang Nan said with emotion, "In the Wanchun Garden, a peony costs thousands of taels of silver, enough to dig a hundred wells, so that tens of thousands of people can drink sweet water from now on. You Buying rice with the money from building a garden can feed the people in the capital for three years..."

Hearing what he said, Qianlong felt even more ashamed.

...

The three continued to walk forward.

Because of the long-distance trek with great physical strength, and they didn't eat lunch, Qianlong and Heshen had belly groans when they reached the end of the day. The calf turns.

"He Er, I really regret it." Qianlong said hoarsely, "But if I go on, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."

"Your majesty, don't worry, this is where we have to suffer a little bit. If we go further, we can eat delicious food and drink spicy food, so we can have a good time." He Shen comforted.

"Oh, how do you say?" Qianlong asked curiously.

"It's like this, don't tell Ji Dayandai." He Shen smiled, "Shang Rong, the governor of Zhili, is quite filial. He heard that the emperor is going to travel far, so he specially prepared to pick him up.

I didn't know where you were going, so I didn't know where to prepare. Now that I know you are going south, I will definitely make good arrangements ahead. "

"That's fine." Qianlong nodded, "Actually, I'm not afraid of suffering. It's just that I didn't go through it before, and now I'm suffering suddenly. I really can't bear it."

"Yes, third master, all the servants know." He Shen nodded and said.

...

The three stopped and stopped all the way, and finally came to a town when it was dark.

Seeing that the whole town was dead silent, with almost no lights at all, it would be a bit creepy for people to walk in it.

"Why is there no one in this town? Did we enter a ghost village?" Qianlong asked puzzled.

"Third Master, ordinary people work at sunrise and rest at sunset." Xiang Nan explained, "In order to save money on gas, they usually don't stay up late. They go to bed when it gets dark, and wake up when it's dawn."

"People don't even want to light oil lamps?" Qianlong sighed, thinking of the lights in the palace that were always on all night, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Just as he was talking, he saw a little light ahead.

The three of them searched for the light and saw a small inn.

"Hey, good luck, there is an inn." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "There is no need to stay at the fellow's house."

Qianlong and Heshen were also delighted when they heard this. They walked this day, hungry and tired and thirsty. Now that I see this inn, I finally have a place to rest my feet, it's like rain after a long drought.

Xiang Nan immediately stepped forward to knock on the door, "Boss, open the door."

"It's full, go elsewhere." Someone inside responded.

"Hey, why are you reciting it like this?" Qianlong and Heshen said with great depression when they heard this.

"Boss, it's good to have a barn to live in." Xiang Nan shouted again.

"Old Ji, you are talking nonsense, how can we live in a barn?" He Shen was very angry when he heard this.

"My lord, the barn can keep out the wind and rain, and the haystacks are soft, which is much better than letting you sleep in the cemetery." Xiang Nan rolled his eyes at him and said.

While talking, the man came and opened the door.

"Why did you open the door, do you know who we are?" He Shen couldn't help but get angry.

"He Er, be polite." Xiang Nan reminded, then smiled and said to the clerk, "Look, it's just the three of us, no outsiders."

"Okay, come in." The guy nodded and let the three of them into the store.

...

Xiang Nan walked ahead with Qianlong, and He Shen walked behind.

A person suddenly walked out of the shadows and approached him, "Master He, I am Mr. Shang's subordinate Xu Er."

He Shen was taken aback for a moment, looked him up, and nodded, "No wonder you look familiar to me. How are you, are you ready?"

"It's all done." Xu Er nodded.

He Shen nodded again, and then yelled, "Hurry up and prepare meals, we are all hungry."

"Xiao Er, serve dinner and tea." Qianlong also urged, "Hurry up."

Xu Er responded, hurried into the kitchen, and ordered the waiter to serve the meal.

"This white porcelain bowl is for the one who looks like a master, this celadon bowl is for the one with the round face, and the last one is for the one who holds the cigarette pouch." Xu Er explained, "Do you remember everything clearly?"

The guy nodded, and then came to the lobby with the tray.

He Shen was very hungry, and when the meal arrived, he rushed to greet him.

"Hey, don't move, don't move, I'll share." Xiaoer said, and gave the white porcelain bowl to Qianlong.

"Oh, what is this?" Qianlong looked strange, "Is there a name for this dish?"

"Your bowl is called 'eat and understand'." The man laughed.

"Eating to understand?! Good name!" Qianlong found it quite interesting.

"It's best to eat something you understand." He Shen also joked.

"There is also a bowl of 'look confused', and a bowl of 'know yourself', this..." The waiter looked at Xiang Nan and He Shen scratching his head.

Firstly, they both have round faces; secondly, after entering the house, Xiang Nan put away the cigarette bag. Without the marker, the clerk was a little confused, and quickly looked at Xu Er at the counter.

Seeing that he was confused, Xu Er quickly gestured to him.

Xiang Nan had been staring at it for a long time, and when he saw the two making a secret sign, he immediately looked at Xu Er.

Afraid of revealing his identity, Xu Er hastily lowered his head, not daring to wink any more.

"He Er, you can choose for yourself. Do you want to look confused, or do you know yourself?" Xiang Nan laughed immediately.

"You choose first." Seeing that the two bowls were all rice paste, He Shen really couldn't see which bowl was better, and worried that he would be at a disadvantage, so he asked Xiang Nan to choose.

"Well, you usually like to pretend to be foolish, so I'll give you this bowl that looks like foolishness." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It's up to me to understand after eating this bowl."

"Old Ji, you just like to pretend to be stupid. It's yours to be confused. I want to know it myself." He Shen said quickly, he guessed that Xiang Nan would definitely choose it for himself, so he knew the bowl better than watching it. It's good to be confused.

"Okay, I'm confused and I know it myself." Xiang Nan smiled, "Dude, you have a good name, how does it taste?"

"Try it." The man smiled and retreated to the background.
