Chapter 722 Meeting
Wu Jiang was excited because it was the busiest time on the farm. He had to grow and pick mushrooms, as well as deliver goods to various cities.
He had to sell fertilizer and make compost, dig up grass, dead branches and rotten leaves in the mountains, go to the county town to collect night-blooming incense and ashes, and free up manpower to go to various prefectures to prepare for the opening of shops and look after the crabs in the pond. He was extremely busy.
Fortunately, Lai Zi Tou and the others came and replaced Hu Zi. Otherwise, he would not be able to handle the work even if he had three heads and six arms.
Although this one hundred people is a bit too many, if they can really come, it will greatly solve the urgent problem.
When Zhou Guo returned, he wrote a letter to Qian Duo, asking him to allocate another hundred people.
There is plenty of money in the mountains, so I spend my days raising chickens, hunting, chopping wood and growing vegetables. In my spare time, I dig some flowers and plants from the mountains and plant them. Although my life is fulfilling, I always feel like something is missing.
I was excited when I received Zhou Guo’s letter.
There are only about 140 people in the village now. He thought that there was no point in staying in the mountains anyway. Everyone sighed all day long and envied those who went down the mountain. It would be better to let them all go and only leave a dozen people on the mountain to guard the house.
But when he thought of Zhou Guo's temper, his neck shrank again. The boss only said one hundred, and he would not get beaten if he took out more than a hundred.
After thinking it over, he decided that he should be brave for once. At most he could go out and play for a few days and then come back. He would get sick if he stayed in the mountains all day.
After figuring it out, Qian Duo called the rest of the people in the village over.
When the big guys heard that they would also go down the mountain, they were so excited that they almost burst into tears. They thought they had been abandoned by the boss. Could it be that they would finally be useful and could go down the mountain too?
"Second Master, when are we leaving? Let's pack up and go down the mountain now?"
Qian Duo's smile faded. "Look outside. It's getting dark. Why are you in such a hurry? If you want to leave, you have to wait until daybreak. Except for Er Heizi, all the others should go down the mountain."
Everyone else left, but a few older people with injuries stayed behind.
Qian Duo told them some things and left them a hundred strings of cash.
Then he packed two sets of clothes and got up before dawn the next day. After breakfast, it was just dawn and the group couldn't wait to go down the mountain.
Of course, these are things to follow.
……
Zhou Guo rested at home for a night and left early the next morning, alone.
It was already afternoon when we arrived in Yunzhou.
She found an inn to settle down in and then went out for a walk, wandering around the streets.
I went to bookstores, cloth shops, and jewelry stores and bought a lot of things. I wanted to buy a lot of things I saw, but when I came out I only had one horse to ride, so I couldn't take back so much. Apart from jewelry and a few books, I didn't buy anything else.
After sending the things back, she went out shopping again.
When the lights come on, Yunzhou becomes more lively. As the number of people has increased in recent years, the curfew has become later and later.
The streets are still quite lively. Although not crowded, there are still people coming and going. It is much more lively than in previous years.
This place is so prosperous that it doesn't look like a border at all. Whose border would be like this?
She ate as she walked. She didn't finish the braised pork trotter in her hand, so she bought a few pieces of roasted lamb. The only problem was that the seasoning of roasted lamb was not rich enough, so it didn't taste as good as the ones she made at home.
While eating, he would not forget to look at the snack stand next to him to see what was selling, and if he was interested, he would go up and buy one.
As I was walking around, I heard a familiar voice.
"Is the young lady back from her outing?"
She was chewing a pig's trotter in her mouth. When she looked up, she saw the man standing not far in front of her with a smile on his face, waving a fan coquettishly in his hand, and there were two people following him.
After taking a bite of pig's trotter tendon, she walked over and said, "You're here too, what a coincidence, hahaha..."
The man smiled and said, "Really? I thought you came here specially to see me."
Zhou Guo: "...You really have a keen eye. You can even know this."
The man said, "Not only has the young lady's appearance changed over the years, but her personality seems to have changed a lot as well."
He still remembers this child back then, with hair as short as a monk's. He was obviously a child, but he acted like an adult, without a smile on his face. Now, the older he gets, the more he looks like a child.
Zhou Guo said, "How can a person remain unchanged? When life is good and there are no worries, the mood will be good and the temperament will naturally change. Sir, have you had dinner? How about I treat you to a meal at Baoyue Tower?"
The man raised an eyebrow, "Why do I remember that Baoyuelou is the largest and best restaurant in Yunzhou? A meal here is not cheap."
Zhou Guo said, "You are of noble status and have come from far away. I am also half a local. I can afford to treat you to a meal at the best restaurant. I wonder if you would be willing to do me the honor?"
The man put away his fan and said, "Okay, since the young lady is willing to spend money, how can I not go?"
Zhou Guo was overjoyed, "Then please."
She didn't waste the remaining pig's trotters, and only threw them away after she had eaten them up.
The servants who were following beside her couldn't help but look sideways. They had never seen a young lady chewing a pig's trotter in the street. Is she still a young lady?
After entering Baoyue Tower, a waiter came to greet me.
The first person the waiter saw was Zhou Guo. There was nothing he could do, they looked too familiar. He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, are you bringing your friends to dinner today?"
Zhou Guo smiled and nodded, "Give me a room facing the street."
Hand him a handful of copper coins.
She was poor, and a handful of copper coins was the highest reward she could afford.
But even so, the guys in the building still like her the most, simply because she is the friendliest, doesn't put on airs, and gets along with them like close friends.
The man next to her couldn't help but look at her in surprise, "It seems that you are a frequent visitor to Baoyue Tower?"
Zhou Guo quickly said, "I'm not like that. I can't really afford their meals. I only bring my family here to eat during festivals."
"Then how come even the guys in the building know you?"
"I have some business dealings with their shopkeeper, so we became familiar with each other naturally."
The two sat down in the private room.
The waiter came up, Zhou Guo told the man to order whatever he wanted, and the man told Zhou Guo to order, "You are the host, how can I, an outsider, know which dishes are delicious? Just order whatever you think is delicious."
Zhou Guo asked them to serve all their signature dishes, and then specifically said, "I heard that your building has recently received a new batch of sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms. Bring some up to try."
The young man looked at her in surprise and wanted to speak, but when he saw her expression, he shut up silently.
She finally said, "Bring two more pots of Lihuabai."
The boy went down.
Zhou Guo looked at the man opposite him and said with a smile: "Excuse me, it's been so long since we met, but I still don't know how to address you."
The man said, "Before asking someone to introduce themselves, should they say their name first? Do you want me to keep calling you little lady?"
