Chapter 221

This meal can be said to break up badly.

Although the business shopkeeper Yang was thinking about failed to be negotiated, Qiao Yun was still one of his bosses after all. After dinner, shopkeeper Yang could only continue to send the group of them to the inn with a smile on his face.

Qiao Yun didn't take this matter to heart.After all, she was only staying in Jiangzhou for a short time, and she was going south by boat early the next morning.

Qiao Yun really wanted to take out her painting boat in the game, but unfortunately, she never had a suitable opportunity.

And even if it is taken out, are there any of them who can row a boat?

I can only go to the pier to rent a boat!

After a good night's sleep, Qiao Yun and his party left Jiangzhou City and came to the pier by the Fen River in the south of the city.

There is a small market town by the river, and there is a small square on the bank of the wooden pier, where many people set up stalls.

"Breakfast is on sale—hot water, hot porridge, hot steamed cakes—!"

"Lamb soup, fresh and hot lamb soup!"

"Yellow buns—hot yellow buns—"

"Homemade mung bean noodle soup cake, quartered white noodles, delicious soup base, come and try it objectively?"

Those who sell porridge, hot soup cakes, and steamed cakes... The morning sun melts the steaming smoke, and together with the noise of the pier, it turns into a heart-touching city fireworks.

Qiao Yun looked around.

There are many cargo ships parked on the bank, and the fishing boats are already busy in the middle of the Fen River.

Not a single passenger ship.

In a corner of the square, there is a shop with a lot of customers, and the word "tea" is hung on the front of the door.

Among the shops built with simple thatched sheds, the street where this tea shop is located looks quite luxurious.

"Tea shop!"

Lai Gan pointed to the tea shop, turned to Qiao Yun and said, "Boss, we can go there and ask if there is a passenger ship to the south."

"Alright." Qiao Yun nodded and said, "Come on, you and Gu Yu are looking at our luggage here, and my wife and I will go ask."

"okay."

Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei came to this tea shop, and immediately a doctor of tea greeted him warmly: "You two guests, what would you like to drink?"

Yun Xuemei stuffed a few copper coins into Dr. Cha's hand, and asked, "Inquire about something. I see why there are so few passenger ships on the river. Are there no passenger ships to Luoyang?"

At this time, a well-dressed woman also entered the tea shop. She caught Yun Xuemei Qiao Yun talking with Dr. Cha, showed interest, and listened attentively.

Dr. Cha grabbed the copper coins and smiled more and more happily: "Oh, sir, you are asking the right person! You also know that the flowering season of God is approaching, and now many large passenger ships are crowded to Bingzhou to wait. It’s time to pick up the big shots. So right now we don’t have many boats in Jiangzhou.”

Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei looked at each other, and Yun Xuemei saw a worried look in Qiao Yun's eyes.She asked, "When is the nearest boat?"

"Wait, I'll ask."

Dr. Cha immediately called a young man to help look after the store, and ran to the pier in a hurry.

After he left, Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei looked at each other and could not help but smile wryly.

"It's still too late to come out." Qiao Yun sighed, "I knew I shouldn't have lingered for so long. I would rather not hold the banquet, but come out earlier."

"Don't worry, there may not be a turnaround."

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no strange man, Yun Xuemei gathered up the white gauze hanging in front of her face and hung it on the edge of the bamboo hat, and let out a long sigh of relief.

She turned her head and bumped into the woman beside her.

The woman's figure has long been out of shape due to age, but she looks kind and friendly, and the material of her clothes is also excellent silk and satin, although there is no embroidery.

She smiled kindly at Yun Xuemei and Qiao Yun.

Seeing that the clothes of the two of them were not vulgar, after thinking about it, they saluted.

Qiao Yun looked dazed, but she also blessed herself as a return gift.

It looks like it should be the mother in charge of a big family!

Yun Xuemei just glanced at her, then put down the sarong on the curtain fence again.

Who is this person? It's inexplicable!
Has she been standing there for a long time?Why eavesdrop on the news that she spent money to inquire?
The old woman got a bad nose, but she wasn't annoyed, she still wore a dignified and elegant smile.

After a while, Dr. Tea came back.

"You two ladies, I'm back!"

He hurried into the store and said: "When Shen Shi is around, there will probably be a passenger ship on the river. It is picking up passengers from Taiyuan. When we arrive here, the guests will be empty. This ship has two cabins." , four lower rooms, clean and spacious, also suitable for your identity."

The woman next to her heard this, turned around and left.

Dr. Cha glanced at her in confusion, and then said to Yun Xuemei: "If you want to hire a boat, pay attention to the time, so you don't miss it."

"Thank you." Yun Xuemei handed over two sheepskin water bags and a handful of copper coins: "Please help us fill the tea, just add some sugar and jasmine, no other spices are needed."

"okay!"

After Dr. Cha filled the water bag, Yun Xuemei and Qiao Yun came back to them.

"I see." Hearing Qiao Yun's retelling, Lai nodded knowingly: "Then we can just wait until the afternoon, what time is it now?"

Yun Xuemei looked up at the sun, while Qiao Yun glanced at the time in the game backpack, and said without thinking, "It's three quarters."

Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and suggested: "It's still early, where should we sit?"

Qiao Yun looked around and said, "Let's find a tea house and order some refreshments to pass the time?"

"Then what about these luggage?" Gu Yu pointed to the big box at his feet.

Qiao Yun held her forehead.

It's really troublesome, if there are only her and Yun Xuemei without these two people, she doesn't have to hide her skills.

"There is luggage storage here." Yun Xuemei pointed to the warehouse road next to the tea shop.

There are four big characters on the warehouse plaque - Xie's Warehouse.

There is a pink cover hung at the door, which is different from the washed white cover of the nearby tea shop. This cover is very clean and bright, and even the word "goods" on it is dyed with golden yellow paint.

Qiao Yun: ...

If it wasn't for that woman's property, she would write her surname upside down!

I went into the store and asked, it really is!
Hearing that this is the small owner of Ding Shi Ji, the store owner immediately said excitedly: "It's all my family, my family! You can rest assured to leave your luggage with us, no money, no money! If the owner finds out, I will accept yours Money, I'm afraid it's my red envelope at the end of the year, and it should be gone!"

The shopkeeper opened a cabinet for them, put a seal on the luggage, filled out the documents carefully, and finally handed them a beautifully carved wooden number plate.

"Hold it! When the boat arrives, I will personally bring someone to carry it to the boat for you."

Qiao Yun was in a daze until she left the shop.

She glanced back at the store's plaque.

Commercial trade in the Tang Dynasty was not as developed as it was later, and similar services may only be provided as a bonus in some inns, restaurants and other places.What kind of brain is Xie Yutan, who can come up with luggage storage in ancient times?

Don't think about it for now, Qiao Yun is going shopping with Xue Mei Niang and the others!

None of the four of them was particular, Qiao Yun and Gu Yu happily bought a large bag of pastries, candied fruit and other snacks, found a teahouse in a relatively quiet alley, and sat down by the window.

The shopkeeper in the store served hot tea mixed with milk and honey, and quietly retreated behind the counter without disturbing her.

The four concentrated on eating and drinking, while discussing their visions for the future.

As the saying goes, there is no book without coincidence.

At this time, a man carrying simple carpenter's tools passed by the door, poked his head into the shop and asked:
"Young man of the Liu family, does your table need repairing?"

The little shopkeeper got up, smiled politely, and politely declined: "This table was only painted a few years ago, it's a bad luck for you to come!"

"That's good. If there is a tenon, remember to tell us as soon as possible." The man said with a grin.

"It must be. Old Zhu, your wife has such a big belly, and she also comes to follow you around the streets?"

The woman following the man smiled and said: "It's only five or six months, and I can still help him when he's working! Besides, walking around is also beneficial during childbirth! Liu Da, let your mother-in-law pay attention to it when the time comes." wear some."

"That's what I said, but there are so many people outside, it's not good to bump into it, it's better to be careful."

The woman smacked her lips enviously: "It can't be helped, we are here to make a living, and our whole life is just a hard life! It's not like your house, this small teahouse is open, and the days are so moist, we can't compare, it's all in Quwo County Those who come out to beg for life are really different from each other!"

Liu Dalang was speechless for a while, he couldn't answer these words!

And the sour taste inside and outside the words can hardly be concealed.It doesn't matter to him, it's bad if he smokes the guests.

"There are still customers in our store, so we can't accept them anymore."

Qiao Yun was not interested in hearing these gossips, she just stared at Liu Dalang, feeling familiar.

This looks exactly like that butcher Liu and Erya of the Liu family in Quwo, hey!

She remembered that the second girl of the Liu family seemed to be named Xiangniang?During the Chinese New Year, Liu Tuhu said that Erya went to Jiangzhou to find her brother and sister-in-law for a while. Could it be that this is her elder brother?

At this time, Yun Xuemei glanced at Gu Yu: "Your expression has been strange from the beginning, what's wrong?"

Qiao Yun withdrew her gaze and stared at Gu Yu.

Hey... the little lady had a wrinkled face, as if she was about to cry or not.

"I..." Gu Yu opened her mouth, and tears fell down.

She choked up, unable to speak.

After the man and woman left, Gu Yu closed her eyes and let out a trembling breath.

"That's... my mother."

Qiao Yun: Oh my god!
