Traveling through the heavens starting from the golden years

Choosing a house next to a bamboo bush, Qin Fang looked at the bamboo furniture in the house and felt very comfortable, so he said he would live here.

Zhao Sihai complimented and said, "This is the best room in the store."

He waved to a waiter and then said: "You can stay here for a while. There is a separate bathroom where you can take a bath. If you need hot water, hot towels, food and wine, just call me at the 'Dafuzi' branch." "

Putting a silver dollar in his hand as the cost of room and board, Qin Fang watched the two people leave, and then said to Bai Jin: "Take a bath, and then go out for a walk."

Bai Jin informed the clerk Dafuzi, who hurriedly got busy.

When Qin Fang came back after taking a bath, Bai Jin was sitting in front of the bamboo eucalyptus, looking at several dishes with bright eyes.

"Master, if you don't want to eat these, why don't I dig some soil for you?" he said half-jokingly.

"Eat quickly and never drink alcohol." After Qin Fang finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed and closed his eyes to rest.

"I don't dare to touch even a drop of wine." Bai Jin carefully closed the door and window and finished the meal quickly.

After calling Dafuzi and clearing away the bowls, Bai Jin and Qin Fang each lay down on the bamboo couch to rest.

About half an hour later, the two of them turned over and sat up, ready to go out.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw the owner Zhao Sihai coming with a smile on his face.

"Do you two have a comfortable stay? Is the food delicious?" As soon as he entered the door, he asked with a smile.

Businessmen are all so polite, even a bit smiling.

Qin Fang cupped his hands and answered: "Thanks to the shopkeeper for worrying about it, everything is fine."

After saying a few polite words, Zhao Sihai learned that they were going out to look for supplies, and couldn't help but happily said: "Whether it's bacon, fur, dried mushrooms, herbs, bamboo utensils, or rattan mats,"

Qin Fang frowned slightly when he heard the term "rattan weaving".

"Do you have them in your store?" Bai Jin interjected and asked.

"Then I don't dare to say." Zhao Sihai waved his hands repeatedly, "I mean, in this 'Liuyun Town', which is connected in all directions, I can help you two contact the source of goods. Hehe, how can you two be lucky? Just pay.”

"Easy to say, easy to say. This is indeed our first time here," Qin Fang said as he walked into the courtyard with Bai Jin. "Let's go to the market first to understand the market."

Zhao Sihai followed them and continued to chatter: "I can also help find some sources of goods. I also have some dry goods at home..."

"Dad, my mother and I are learning to weave bamboo mats! Look, how am I doing?"

The laughter of a teenage girl came from a corner of the yard.

The little girl's voice rang like a silver bell.

Qin Fang quickly followed the sound and saw a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, sitting next to a woman preparing a banquet, looking at this side and smiling.

When she met Qin Fang's eyes, her smile was like a frozen image, motionless.

"Cuiyun," Zhao Sihai walked over quickly with a smile and picked up a small basket next to his daughter.

The editing was uneven, but he still praised his daughter without hesitation: "Cuiyun is getting better and better at her job!"

Turning around, he saw that Qin Fang was in a daze, and Zhao Sihai introduced him again: "This is my guest, the fourth lady of the Meng family, and this is my daughter Cuiyun."

Qin Fang cupped his hands and said hello to them.

Meng Siniang glanced at him in surprise, and then continued working; Cuiyun was very curious about the two strangers.

"Master Qin, you said you came from Hankou. It must be a more lively place there, right?" As she asked, she walked over with a smile.

Qin Fang looked into her innocent eyes: "Well, it is indeed very lively. No matter how lively or interesting things are, they can't compare to your own home."

"Oh. What you said makes sense, but," Zhao Cuiyun said with a smile, "It's right for me. But it doesn't make sense to you, right? Because you come from a lively and interesting place. .”

"This is my hometown." Qin Fang said silently, "That's what I mean. No matter how good it is outside, there are always crises."

Zhao Cuiyun looked at him, feeling that his words were like dark, heavy clouds, making her breathless.

"Cuiyun, don't cause trouble to the guests. Go and learn to weave mats with your mother." Zhao Sihai said with a slight complaint.

Zhao Cuiyun nodded, still staring at Qin Fang, and murmured: "Okay. I just want to spend my whole life in this courtyard, and I no longer want to go to any more lively place."

“You will definitely be able to live happily and comfortably here.

" Qin Fang said blessing and walked outside the courtyard.

Zhao Sihai hesitated for a moment, then followed over with a smile: "I'll accompany you two to take a look."

"It would be bad if it delays your business." Bai Jin quickly dissuaded him.

"You don't have to think too much," Zhao Sihai said frankly, "If you like the goods, I can only help you lower the price; if you don't, I won't charge you for your hard work."

The kindness was hard to refuse, so Qin Fang had no choice but to agree to follow him.

The east end of the town is where merchants and merchants trade various goods.

All kinds of mountain goods are piled up outside the doors and warehouses of various warehouses, and merchants are arguing loudly about the prices.

After the discussion was completed, both parties were naturally overjoyed and congratulated each other on the deal.

Even if they didn't reach an agreement, they could still remain calm, suppress their inner displeasure, and politely say goodbye.

Along the path in the market, Qin Fang and others looked around and asked about prices.

After choosing Polygonum multiflorum, Angelicae sinensis, Tianqi and other traditional Chinese medicines, Qin Fang took out a banknote from his arms and handed it to the owner of the warehouse: "Send it to me."

"Sihai Inn!" Zhao Sihai chuckled and reached out to take away a fallen leaf that fell on Qin Fang's sleeve.

"I don't know where I got it." Bai Jin grabbed it and threw it on the ground.

Seeing that it was not early, Zhao Sihai bowed and said: "Master Qin, the market is about to close. You two just came all the way, so don't be too anxious. You two go back to the inn to rest, Dafuzi and I will give you some You two will cook some good dishes! Have some wine and have a good rest."

It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Qin Fang and Bai Jin followed him back to the inn.

The silly-looking Dafuzi, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, immediately ran towards him. Holding a whisk made of rag strips in his hand, he held it in both hands and bowed and said, "Master Qin, please use it."

After taking it and patting it on his body a few times, Qin Fang handed it back.

"Dafuzi, hurry up and prepare dinner. The other guests are all cooking in big pots. Tell your wife to cook the dishes for Master Qin to order." After Zhao Sihai warned him, Dafuzi agreed and ran over quickly. Kitchen.

"He does things quickly." Qin Fang looked at his back and praised him.

Zhao Sihai smiled, followed him back to the guest room, and whispered: "He is the son of an old friend of mine. Our two families are family friends, so,"

As he spoke, he glanced at his daughter Zhao Cuiyun, who was still weaving mats in the corner of the yard: "We have made an engagement for them a long time ago."

"Oh, that's great." Qin Fang looked back at the little girl sitting in the sunset weaving a mat.

Feeling that someone was paying attention, Zhao Cuiyun looked up and smiled innocently at him.

"Dafuzi's relatives are no longer alive, but I still have to abide by the promise I made back then." Zhao Sihai said with emotion.

"You are truly a person who values ​​affection and righteousness." Qin Fang saluted with his hands in hand.

When dinner was ready, Dafuzi took it on a plate and brought it directly to the guest room. Because he couldn't carry it alone, Zhao Cuiyun also came over with a food tray with a smile.

"I know you don't drink," she said, putting an earthenware vase on the table, "so I made new tea specially and added honey and primrose petals."
