Food in the Song Dynasty: My System Connects Mountains and Seas

Chapter 504 Porcelain City Jingde
A quarter of an hour later, the jug was empty.

Although Wen Shu drank all the wine, the two people opposite him still fell down.

As expected of him being the leader of the imperial guards, even though they were so familiar with each other, Liu Zhang was still extremely vigilant and did not drink a drop of alcohol.

Even though Liu Sheng kept giving him looks, he didn't give in.

But he never expected that it was not the wine that enchanted him, but the smell of the purple lotus liquid.

As early as when the wine and food were placed on the table, Wen Shu took the opportunity to smear the purple lotus liquid on the mouth of the bottle.

The smell of alcohol mixed with the aroma of purple lotus liquid can both stimulate the toxicity of the purple lotus liquid and delay its onset.

She stood up and walked to the two of them, placed her hands lightly on their shoulders, and put them into the storage basket.

"I'm sorry, but I can't disobey your orders. I have to do what I have to do. Have a good sleep. When you wake up, everything will be fine."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Shu returned to the inn with a lunch box.

While Father Wen and Qin Jingyang were still here, she quickly found the residence of Cao Fei and the others, and before they noticed, she put them all into the storage basket.

Then, he went to the Guo family in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Set the time to the day after the last time you left.

When they arrived at the door of Guo's house, the five refugees were standing outside the fence with sticks in their hands.

Although he didn't look very alert, he still did it.

Seeing Wen Shu coming, they quickly put down their sticks, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, "God, please spare us, we will never dare to do it again."

"Get up and keep watch."

After walking around them and going in to see Mrs. Guo and the child, Wen Shu called the three brothers to the yard to talk: "I have something to ask of you today."

The three brothers told her to speak frankly, and Wen Shu conjured up Liu Zhang and the others, "These are my friends, they are injured, I would like to ask you to take care of them for a few days."

"That's all. Don't worry. It's no problem."

After entrusting Liu Zhang and others to the care of the Guo family, Wen Shu returned to the real world.

With no one watching her, she wandered around Quzhou freely.

He would go into every shop he saw, and buy without hesitation anything he needed or might need in the future, and then have someone deliver it to the inn.

He even purchased two horse-drawn carriages specifically for transporting things. After all, the things that Qin Jingyang bought had to be displayed in the open.

The next morning, Wen Shu and others left Quzhou City.

This time in Quzhou City, she bought more than 2,000 steamed buns alone, as well as a lot of rice, flour, grain, oil and other necessities.

A rough estimate is that it is enough to feed at least a hundred people for a month.

"Why buy so many rain gears? It's troublesome to carry them all the way." As soon as I walked out of the city gate, I heard Qin Jingyang muttering behind me.

Zhuo Rufeng was also a little puzzled when he saw the rain gears on the two carriages, but when he thought about the recent weather, he understood a little and explained for Wen Shu: "Maybe it's raining a lot recently, Miss Wen is probably afraid that the rain gear might break on the way and she'd get wet in the rain."

"We don't need so many. There are only a few of us, but there are a hundred pairs on the car."

As soon as he finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from the car in front: "Qin Jingyang, if you really feel that you have nothing to do, come and work."

Hearing this, Qin Jingyang immediately shrank his neck, "Something's going on, something's going on."

Liu Yunniang couldn't help laughing and said with emotion: "You two siblings have such a good relationship!"

Wen Shu was slightly stunned, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's OK. Well, go another twenty miles to Jingde. After Jingde, you will reach Xunyang. You will be able to see your family soon."

Hearing this, Liu Yunniang's expression became a little complicated. She sighed slightly and said, "When I got married, my youngest brother was only twelve or thirteen. I haven't seen him for a few years, and I don't know how tall he has grown." "I'll see it right away." Wen Shu didn't know what she was thinking. After answering this question, he closed his eyes and went to rest.

But in my mind, I was repeatedly wondering which hole had caused the dam to burst.

The carriage galloped all the way to Jingde. When it was almost at the city gate, the rain suddenly stopped and the clouds cleared. The sky was filled with rosy clouds that shone on the city wall, illuminating half of the city in red.

After entering the city, they found an inn to rest.

After a tiring day, no one had the interest to go out for a walk, so they went to bed early after dinner.

After asking the shopkeeper, Wen Shu learned that Poyang Lake was seventy or eighty miles away from Jingde County. Even if the dam broke, it would not flood the county for a while. He felt a little relieved.

However, some things still need to be prevented in advance.

At night, after saying something to Old Man Wen, Wen Shu went out alone.

The next day, a rumor quietly spread in the city that there might be a flood due to the heavy rain recently. When the people heard it, they thought it made sense.

Upon seeing this, the rice shop immediately raised the price of rice, while the porcelain shop tried to lower the price.

For a time, everyone in the city felt in danger.

When the rumor was spreading most intensely, Wen Shu was just walking out of the room, stretching lazily.

In the courtyard, Old Man Wen and others were already having breakfast. When he saw her coming out, Old Man Wen said, "I've left a portion for you in the pot. Go get it yourself."

Wen Shu nodded and was about to go to the well to wash up, but he thought of something and turned back. He smiled at Qin Jingyang and Zhuo Rufeng and said, "Do you two Xiangwu need anything?"

"Jingde is a famous porcelain city. Now that we are here, of course we have to take a good look around." Qin Jingyang said.

Zhuo Rufeng had just finished eating. Hearing this, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother Qin and I will go take a look. Do you want to come with us, young lady?"

"I do want to buy some, but I didn't sleep well last night, and I want to catch up on some sleep this morning. So I'd like to trouble you two to go to the street and look for shops that have good and cheap goods, and then let me know when you get back."

She spoke, and Qin Jingyang had no choice but to respond.

Moreover, he thought that Wen Shu must have recognized his vision by asking him to judge it, and he felt happy for a moment.

"No problem, just tell me what you want to buy. I have even seen porcelain tributed to the emperor in the capital.

"Well, two pairs of vases, they have to be nice. And some small medicine bottles of good quality and good style, preferably at a low price, because I want a lot."

"No problem, leave it to me." Qin Jingyang patted his chest loudly.

Zhuo Rufeng glanced at him and smiled at Wen Shu, "Although I don't know much about porcelain, I can learn a thing or two by following Brother Qin."

"Then I'll trouble you two."

In fact, whether to buy porcelain or not was not that important to Wen Shu. She just wanted to get the two of them away.

"Madam Liu, what are your plans?"

"I have an aunt who is married in Jingde, and I want to go see her."

"That's fine. You can't leave today anyway, so you can catch up on the past."

After chatting, Wen Shu hurried to wash up. When she came out of the kitchen with the porridge, only Father Wen was left in front of the stone table in the yard.

“Are they all gone?”

Father Wen nodded.

Wen Shu sat down at the table, glanced at the noisy crowd outside the yard, and whispered, "I'm going to go out for a while. Dad, please help me with something."

happy New Year!

Xiao Gu wishes everyone: "In the new year, there will be great glory ahead and warmth behind you. You can march forward with joy and take advantage of the momentum. You can be healthy, safe, energetic, and have everything go your way. You can eat more without gaining weight, have fewer wrinkles, and have more hair. I wish you all the best, and so do I."
