Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 218 Check-in at Qingxu Inn

Among the many street snacks, this meat pancake is really eye-catching.

Holding the hot sesame cake in your hand, the faint fragrance wafts into your nose, making you unable to resist taking a bite.

The aroma of meat lingered in his mouth, making Gu Lun in a good mood, and he quickly bought one for Li Qiu as well!

After they finished eating, Gu Lun bought ten more meat buns at six cents each, and then returned to the wonton stall!

Everyone’s wontons have just been served!

"Big sister, this fire-baked bread is so delicious, you should try it! All the brothers and sisters should try this too! Uncle Hu, you should have one too!"

Gu Lun asked everyone to take a steamed bun. The girls felt that they could not eat so much, so they asked for two more bowls, leaving two bowls for Li Qiu and Gu Lun!

I finally finished eating, but half an hour had already passed!

No one dared to delay any longer, so they bought a big bowl of wontons for Lixia, including the bowl, and also bought ten steamed buns and took them back!

After Lixia had eaten and drunk their fill, everyone got on the carriage and continued on their journey!

This time they walked much faster. Although the official road in ancient times was flat, it was still bumpy to walk on. Everyone was leaning on cushions and feeling drowsy!

When they suddenly heard a "whoosh..." sound, they felt the car slowly stop. They all staggered forward for a while, and then they heard Qi Huli shout:

"Master, it's getting dark. Shall we stay here?"

Gu Dalian woke up and got off the carriage with the others. Seeing Yuzhu reaching out to help her, she smiled and said:

"You don't need to help me. I'm not old or eighty years old. We don't like those empty things. Let's go!"

Looking up ahead, I saw a small inn with a lantern hanging on one side. On the inn door plaque was written:

"Qingxu Inn"

Then I heard Qi Huli say:

"Master, the place we are in is a small town called Qingxu Town. I have been here before, and there is only this inn!"

"The environment in this town is relatively good. If we go further, we will probably have to sleep outdoors."

"When you're away from home, there's no need to be so particular. It's good enough to have a place to stay. Let's go and take a look!"

Qi Huli was the first to go forward and knock on the door. After a while, a waiter came out. Seeing that there were quite a few people, he smiled and said:

"Would you like to stay overnight or for a night? Would you like some food?"

"It's already this late, so of course we need to stay here. Tell them to prepare some delicious meals!"

"Okay... Sir, please order the dishes. Pick something delicious!"

The waiter raised his voice and someone responded:

“I’ll be right soon!”

The waiter continued to ask:

"We have the Tianzi, Dizi, Renzi and Tongbei rooms. May I ask..."

It was the first time for Gu Dalian to stay in such an inn, and she didn't quite understand, so she just listened to Qi Huli saying:

"Master, the Tian-numbered rooms are the best and are used by the most distinguished guests. The Di-numbered rooms are second best, and the Ren-numbered rooms are third..."

"Take us to have a look first!"

The waiter hurriedly led a few people to the Tian Zi Hao. After entering and taking a look, Gu Dalian was dissatisfied in his heart, is this the so-called Tian Zi Hao?

It's just that the place is more spacious, the bedding on the 2.2-meter bed is thicker, there are tables, chairs and benches, and the environment is cleaner! There is one thing, there is a small compartment, and a small bed is also placed!

I went to the Dizihao to have a look, and sure enough, there were some differences. The space was obviously smaller, the configuration of the two-meter bed seemed inferior, and the tables, chairs and benches were a bit compact! But there was also a small couch for resting!

"Forget it, two rooms with the character 'sky' and two rooms with the character 'earth'!"

Let’s go downstairs to eat first!

Now that I have money, I don’t want to let myself suffer!

In fact, Gu Dalian didn’t care. At worst, she could enter the space, but she didn’t want her own people to suffer!

Soon, the waiter brought the food, a pot of rice, a large plate of golden chicken, a large plate of scrambled eggs with garlic, a large plate of pickled cabbage with vinegar, a large plate of stir-fried vegetables with meat, and a plate of peanuts and a plate of homemade pickled radish!

Gu Dalian felt that she was too picky about food. Apart from the fried eggs with garlic cloves, which were yellow and green and somewhat appetizing, the rest were either too greasy or overcooked. She ate a small bowl of rice and then put them down!

The others, on the other hand, were eating with gusto. Looking at Gu Lun, he only took a few mouthfuls of rice and put it down!

Alas, a picky eater is not necessarily a foodie, but a foodie is definitely not a picky eater.

Gu Lun blinked and looked at his elder sister: The food here is so bad, I will go into elder sister's space to compensate myself!

Gu Dalian naturally knew what Gu Lun was thinking. She reached out and scratched her brother, then said with a smile:

"Greedy cat!"

Qi Huli said:

"This food is already very good. When we came here before the New Year, not to mention rice, even noodles were mixed with dried wild vegetables. It hurt my throat so much that I could only eat one mouthful and then drink a mouthful of water to wash it down!"

The innkeeper was checking the bills behind the counter and said with a smile:

"This girl is talking about last year's drought in the north, and the court allocated a large amount of grain from here to the north. The price of rice and flour has increased dozens of times. How can ordinary people like us afford it? We have to tighten our belts to make ends meet!"

"Fortunately, at the end of September last year, a local lord appeared in Shannan County, Henan Prefecture, and discovered potatoes. The imperial court distributed some seeds to each village, and as a result, there was a good harvest at the end of November!"

The shopkeeper was very talkative and kept praising the country gentleman. If it weren't for the potatoes discovered by the country gentleman, many people would probably not have survived for years!

Everyone looked at Gu Dalian, and they all felt that they shared the honor, and they all straightened their backs!

"It's getting late, everyone, go upstairs and get some rest!"

Gu Dalian was also very happy. She had always thought that it would be good to do something for this era.

The first time I heard such praise from someone I didn’t know, I felt that it wasn’t just the empty title of the village gentleman, but the feeling of being appreciated for doing good deeds was more touching!

Gu Dalian took Yuzhu to the Tianzi room, Qi Huli and the other two women entered the Dizi room, Gu Lun took Liqiu to the Tianzi room, Hu Ge, Gu Xiaye, and Lixia to the Dizi room!

After the waiter brought the hot water, Gu Dalian washed up and let Yuzhu sleep on the small bed!

After lowering the curtain, Gu Dalian slipped into Room 601, but she didn't expect that Gu Lun had already entered the space!

When he saw his elder sister, he quickly hid the ice cream he took from the refrigerator behind him!

"Sister, I'm hungry and want to eat Yangzhou fried rice!"

Gu Dalian wanted to laugh, but she didn't expose it. She just washed the rice and put it in the rice cooker. Then she took little Gu Lun out to pick fresh vegetables!

Little Gu Lun picked the fruits and secretly took a bite. Gu Dalian suddenly appeared in front of him:

"Brother...you are so unkind, eating all by yourself!"

Gu Lun took a look and said: Oh my god, the baby is scared to death!

Gou Tui held up the half-full cup of ice cream and said:

"Big sister, I know I was wrong. These are all yours!"

Gu Dalian was not polite and took it and ate it in a few bites. Then she squatted down and looked at Gu Lun in the eye and said seriously:

"Brother, actually ice cream is put in the refrigerator for us to eat, but eating it before going to bed at night can easily irritate the stomach and intestines, causing stomachaches and diarrhea!"

"If you want to eat, you can only eat less. I don't want to restrict you, but I still have to help you get rid of bad habits!"

Gu Lun straightened his face and responded seriously:

"Big sister, Lun'er knows he was wrong. Big sister is right. From now on, you can't eat ice cream before going to bed at night! Even during the day, you can't eat too much ice cream!"
