Chapter 239 A nobleman has come to the city
Although Zhu Datian brought his own food, but compared with Ruan Jiaoyan's cabbage oil residue cake, his thick noodle steamed buns are really tasteless. Fortunately, Ruan Jiaoyan also divided him into three indivual.

It was already Shen Shichu when they arrived at the gate of the city.

"Why is there someone guarding?" Zhu Datian looked at the queue at the gate of the city, his heart skipped a beat.Those who came out of the city did not line up, but the queue to enter the city was not short. It was obvious that the city gate was guarded by officers and soldiers, which made it so slow.

Ruan Jiaoyan was also taken aback for a moment, the last time she and her father came here she hadn't, "Could it be because of the New Year's Eve?"

It seems that the new year is coming, so the people who enter the city should be strictly checked, so as not to let some messy people get in?After all, the officials in the city must also think about the security of the new year.

"It's also possible." Zhu Datian nodded.

A man pushing a cart in front of them turned his head, looked at them, and said in a low voice: "You don't know, do you? I heard that a nobleman from the imperial city came, or came to investigate something , That's why the investigation is strictly carried out when entering the city, firstly to prevent someone from sneaking in and harm the nobleman, and secondly to check if there is anyone the nobleman wants to find."

Zhu Datian's eyes widened, and his curiosity suddenly aroused, "Brother, what kind of nobleman is here?"

From the imperial city?

He had never seen a nobleman from the imperial city in his life, and he didn't know what kind of nobleman from the imperial city would be like, so he wanted to meet but felt a little scared.

"I don't know about this. I also heard it from my nephew in the city. He sells wontons in the city. When an official sent him to eat wontons, he just listened to it." The man said These words are a little proud, as if he has such a great nephew.

Ruan Jiaoyan looked at this man in surprise. There is a wonton stall in the city, not far from Chouxianglou. It is near the teahouse where Ruan Funian was waiting for her last time. She also went there before. , Wonton really tastes good.

"Jiaoyan, shall we line up to enter the city?" Zhu Datian turned his head and asked Ruan Jiaoyan's opinion in a low voice.If there is such a thing in the city, maybe everything will be investigated more strictly. If you see such four big baskets of fried fish pieces on their bullock cart, there will be no problem, right?

Zhu Datian was still a little worried.

I have already come here, so I have to turn around and go back?Ruan Jiaoyan is definitely not willing.

"Come into the city, these fish pieces have to be sold today." Otherwise, if you go back for a long time, you will have to sell them tomorrow, and the price will probably be discounted.

In fact, when they ate and stopped for convenience on the way, Ruan Jiaoyan put these fish pieces into the kitchen in the space to keep them warm and fresh, and they changed them back when they were almost at the city gate.

She surrounded and covered these bamboo baskets with thick grass, which was also convenient for her hands and feet.

"This is the point, can it be sold?" Zhu Datian worried for her.

I still have to queue up, and I don't know if I can enter the city smoothly.

"can."

Huanhuan also nodded, "Uncle Zhu, if my sister says it can be sold, she will definitely be able to sell it, don't worry." She is not afraid, anyway, they did not do anything bad, and they are definitely not the person that nobleman is looking for. What are you afraid of?They didn't steal the fish, they caught it and fried it themselves, so it must be fine.

Zhu Datian felt that the two sisters were young and had little knowledge, so they were still naive.

There are so many pieces of fish, and Ruan Jiaoyan fried them so crispy, so fragrant, and the color is so beautiful, if those officials see these fish and insist on snatching them, what can they do?
So when queuing up, Zhu Datian was always very uneasy and worried. He kept thinking in his mind, what should he do if something really happened.

The team moved very slowly, which showed that those official posts were really checked carefully.

At last they arrived.

Two soldiers with long knives stood on each side of the city gate, and two officials were checking the people entering the city.

There were several sacks on the trolley that the man in front was pushing, and it was quite full. The two officers opened all the sacks to see that they contained some dry goods and some sweet potatoes.Two official servants stabbed the bag with long, sharp iron needles.

It was obvious that it was impossible to contain a person inside, but he didn't let it go. He reached out and touched every part of the cart carefully, and even came to search the man's body.

Zhu Datian panicked, is it really so detailed?Still want to search?
He doesn't care, but the Ruan family sisters are girls' family, how can they be searched?
But the man had already checked and went in, and the two officials had already looked at them, one of them took a look at Zhu Datian, and the other looked at the ox cart.

"Where did you come from?" An official asked Zhu Datian, and his tone was not very patient.

Zhu Datian had never seen such a battle before, he was already a little nervous, and his voice trembled a little, "Hui, Hui Cha, we are from the east side of Jiuli Village, Qingzhu Town—"

Ruan Jiaoyan suppressed a smile.

He even said he lived on the east side of the village?I can't tell that Uncle Zhu is so timid and looks very nervous.

"Okay," the official interrupted him, who asked him to speak in such detail? "Who are you two of them? What are you doing in town? What's in the car?"

Ruan Jiaoyan could tell that Zhu Datian was already very nervous, and she was afraid that he would talk nonsense in a panic if he answered again, so she took the conversation and lifted the grass covering the bamboo basket.

"Brother Guancha, he is our neighbor's uncle. This time he helped us drive the ox cart and sent us into the city. We are also from Qingzhu Town. Today we are here to deliver goods to Chouxianglou."

Ruan Jiaoyan apologized to Shopkeeper Qin and Mr. Shao in her heart, and she was going to use their names again. She could see that these officials really checked carefully, and what if they fell in love with her fish nuggets If she insisted on carrying a basket, she would suffer a great loss and feel distressed.

"Chouxiang Tower? What is this?" The two officials came over and looked at it. They smelled a very domineering fragrance, and they almost didn't drool.

"This is fried fish nuggets, we're going to send them to shopkeeper Qin." Ruan Jiaoyan smiled innocently, "The fish in the ponds in the mountains in our country have few spines and are delicious, and they are also delicious when fried. Brother Guancha Do you want to try it?"

Fish nuggets?so much?
There are four big baskets.

They swallowed, and really wanted to taste it, but when they thought about what the people who came to the city had said this time, and their mission, they suppressed the thought, so that it wouldn't reach the nobleman's ears , made him angry.But he said that every person who enters the city should be strictly investigated, but ordinary people should not be bullied.

"We're going to check, it's all fish pieces, nothing else?"
