After being choked to death by a copper coin, she became a demon Jin Ji in the other world

After Shen Huanyan was tired of making trouble, she found that she could not shake Shen Yuelan's rock-hard will to fall by herself. Just when she was helpless, a ray of scorching sunlight sprinkled on the ends of her hair.

Shen Huanyan turned her head to glance at the beam of sunlight, her beautiful eyes turned left and right, and then she gave up the idea of waking up Shen Yuelan. Anyway, the temperature difference in the desert would teach every lazy person a lesson equally.

[Ah~ Huanyan, why didn't you wake me up earlier? When I woke up, I was sweating all over and felt so uncomfortable. ]

[Hmph, Master, you still have the nerve to say that. I almost kicked you off the bed this morning, but you were still wrapped tightly in the quilt. We clearly agreed to leave early in the morning, and now it's noon again.]

[Oh, this is perfect. Let's take a rest and have dinner. Then we can set off at dusk. It will be so cool.]

[Oh? I don't know who was the one who kept shouting that it was wrong to reverse the day and night when traveling at night. We should travel openly during the day instead of flying secretly at night? ]

[Um, this, that, okay, okay, I was wrong. I have experienced both sides. It is still faster to fly at night. Walking during the day is too troublesome. ]

[By the way, I just asked around, the reason why Guazhou is called Guazhou is because the fruits and vegetables here are particularly delicious. Let's go and try some later. It's better to have enough food and drink before we set off.]

[Oh, okay, but you can’t change it this time. ]

【It's OK. 】

Shen Yuelan, who had just woken up, was still reliable. They set off at dusk and after several hours of full speed, they finally arrived in Shazhou successfully in the middle of the night. However, because the arrival time was quite delicate, they could only set up camp in the leeward place outside the city.

[Alas, it's another day to look at the stars. ]

[Master, stop sighing, set up the tent quickly and get some rest, as we have to go back to the city tomorrow morning.]

[Okay, I get it. However, the night view of ancient cities is really boring. It can't even compare to the night view of rural areas in later times.]

[There is no comparison between the two. Even if the rural areas in later generations were in great difficulty, it was still possible to provide electricity to every household. But how many households in ancient times could light oil lamps?]

[Yes, but it will only take a few more years for ordinary people to have electricity in every household, right?]

[Well, about fifteen or sixteen years.]

[Hahaha, so, then we are not that different from the ancients. At most, there are some differences in living habits.]

[Yes, there is actually not much difference between modern people and ancient people. If you bring an ancient person to live in the future, it won’t take him long to adapt. The difference between the two is at most in productivity. After all, it is technology that changes life.]

[I thought that after thousands of years, humans would have changed a lot, after all, they all need to evolve.]

[That being said, doesn't the evolution of that creature take tens of millions of years? In just a few thousand years, the hair on its body wouldn't have evolved much.]

[Hahaha, the words are rough but the truth is there. It is indeed the case. Ah, I have seen enough of the night view. I should rest early. I will go to the Zhang residence for a walk tomorrow and see if I can run into another old man with a white beard.]

[Why does it feel weird for you to say this? ]

[You are so annoying! Go to sleep! ]

Silent all night.

After the lesson of the previous day, Shen Yuelan got up early diligently, wanting to enter the city as soon as possible while the temperature was still cool.

However, after queuing for a whole morning, just when it was their turn to enter the city, they were suddenly ordered to leave the city gate by the city gate guards. The reason was simply that a more distinguished person was about to enter the city.

Not long after, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties, riding a tall horse and accompanied by a group of fully armed servants, slowly entered the city through the road cleared by the guards.

[Tsk, why? It's obviously our turn, we got up so early and arrived late.]

[Humph, why? Just because he is Zhang Yichao, the person Zhiwei has always seen.]

[Master, when you are being weird, please don't bring Lu with you, it's easy to hurt friendly forces. However, we are really lucky. We saw the real person before entering the city. Since the goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter whether we enter the city or not. ]

[Go in! Why not? I'm really going to compete with him today. Besides, this Shazhou is the Dunhuang of the future. If we don't go in and take a look, wouldn't we have walked these thousands of miles in vain? ]

[Master, we walked these thousands of miles for Mr. Bai and Xiao Man, not for traveling.]

[Uh, it's all the same, it's all the same, it won't take much time to go shopping, let's go tomorrow, let's go tomorrow. ]

[It’s a deal, huh? ]

[Don't worry, when have I, Shen Yuelan, ever broken my promise? ]

【It was just yesterday. 】

【Ouch~ I was wrong.】

Although they experienced some unpleasant episodes, Shen Yuelan and others finally successfully entered Shazhou City before noon. Shen Yuelan and others had been hungry outside the city for a whole morning, so the first thing they did after entering the city was to rush to eat.

As a famous international commercial city on the Silk Road and a metropolis where Chinese and foreign peoples met, Shazhou has a very rich food culture. Like the vast areas in the north at that time, the staple food of Shazhou people was mainly various kinds of cakes.

There are many foods in Shazhou with the word "bing" in their name, reaching more than 30 kinds, including Hu bing, youhu bing, ren bing, rong bing, lu bing, shui bing, white bing, thin bing, steamed bing, sesame bing, bing, milk bing, vegetable bing, pancake, cage bing, wutong bing, rope bing, bing liang, dragon, tiger and snake bing, glutinous rice bing, and glutinous rice bing.

In addition to dozens of kinds of cakes, there are more than 30 kinds of non-cake foods, such as steamed buns, noodles, water noodles, rice, Sanzhi, cold noodles, oil noodles, ** noodles, snacks, glutinous rice, small rice, porridge, dumplings, stews, millet stews, cakes, soups, vegetable molds, steamed Hu food, rice dumplings, wontons, tsampa, glutinous rice, boiled vegetable noodles, beard noodles, steamed buns, fine offerings, paste, paste, dough, San, rice, cake, paste, glutinous rice, glutinous rice, sand balls, powder, beans, etc.

Of course, even if you stuff Shen Yuelan to death, she can't eat so many kinds of staple food in one day, not even a bite of any of them, so she has to settle for the second best and choose to eat something good.

Shen Huanyan and Xiao Yuhuan went to search all the major restaurants in Shazhou and brought back four famous local dishes: [Wild Camel Pastry], [Camel Hoof Soup], [Boiled Meat], and [Roasted Plowing Ox]. Among them, [Wild Camel Pastry] and [Camel Hoof Soup] were the most famous, and both were listed as [Eight Delicacies] in the Yuan Dynasty.

The frontier poet Cen Shen mentioned in his "Song of General Gai at Yumen Pass" that [In the warm house, there is an embroidered curtain and a red stove, and the wall is covered with flowery carpets. In front of the lamp, the maid pours out the jade pot, and the golden bell randomly lights the wild red cake.]

Camel Hoof Soup is a dish made from camel's hooves. It is a soup-like food and is said to have been first created by Cao Zhi, a poet and gourmet during the Three Kingdoms period. It is also known as Seven Treasures Soup.

With delicious food, good drinks are naturally indispensable. Shen Yuelan and Lu Zhiwei brought back five kinds of local drinks including millet wine, beer, barley wine, sorghum wine and wine. Among them, wine is one of the famous local specialties.

[Hey, Master, you brought back so much wine, are you planning to get drunk to death in Shazhou? ]

[What are you talking about? Let's just drink some wine. The other wines are gifts I brought to Su Jiu.]

[Well, even so, you don't have to buy up half of the wine in Shazhou, right? ]

[Sister Yuhuan and I heard about it at the inn. It was said that there were two women who were stupid and rich. They were collecting alcohol everywhere, so that there was not enough alcohol to celebrate Zhang Yichao's success. Aren't you afraid that he will come to your house for this? ]

[Humph, what are you afraid of? I was short of their money, or I stole their wine. It was a matter of mutual consent. Why would he bother me? ]

[Besides, he was the one who stole my way first. He was outnumbered at the time. I admit the loss, but it doesn't mean I can't make up for it in other places. If he dares to ask for wine, I will say that I am stupid and rich! ]

[Oh, forget it, it's not a big deal, let's eat quickly, the four famous dishes of Shazhou are all hot dishes, they won't taste good if they are cold. ]

[Great, is there any garlic? It looks a bit greasy, I have to eat two to relieve the greasy feeling. ]

[Yes, we have ginger and garlic, pepper, ginger, salt, fermented black beans, vinegar, sauce, rice water, and red yeast rice. You can make the dipping sauce according to your taste.]

[The fruits here are also very complete, covering almost all the fruit categories in the north today, including grapes, pears, pears, berries, peaches, apricots, dates, jujubes, and tangerine peels. They are all very fresh and sweet, and are definitely enough for dessert after meals. ]

[Wow, this is great, is this heaven? ]

【This is Shazhou. 】

【Oh. 】

Shen Yuelan and others had a very satisfying lunch, but some people's feast was not so enjoyable because they ran out of wine halfway through.

In Shazhou, almost everyone in every social class likes to drink, from Tibetan nobles and local tyrants to peddlers, almost all of them cannot live without alcohol.

The role of wine is far more than just a drink. It is a lubricant for relationships between people in social life. Wine is indispensable in almost all secular social activities, let alone such an important welcoming banquet.

The absence of wine at this time would be a very serious political incident, as it represented the banquet organizer's contempt and disrespect for the guests.

[An Jing, this is just you, kid. If anyone dares to do this to me, I will definitely cut off his head and kick it like a ball! ]

[Brother, it's my fault, it's my fault, please calm down. I really didn't expect that there would be a day when the wine in Shazhou would be sold out. I have already sent someone to buy it urgently. Don't worry, I will cut off the wine for anyone else, but not yours.]

[I still have a few bottles of fine wine that I have treasured for many years in my house. I will send someone to get them now. You can try these lychees first. I took a lot of effort to transport them back from the Tang Kingdom.]

Chapter 324: Noodle Soup

[Oh? I remember that these lychees are produced in Sichuan and Shu of Tang State. This place is more than a thousand miles away from Shazhou. You can actually keep them so fresh. I guess you spent a lot of money, right?]

[That's right. Collecting and replacing ice along the way, transporting it by express horse, and delivering it at the post station, it sounds easy, but I don't know how much manpower and material resources it took. If it weren't for Kongre and Shang Bibi's little trouble, the fruit could have arrived a few days earlier.]

[Humph, that Lun Kongre is a sinister and cunning man who is brave but not wise. Tubo has suffered many disasters in recent years, with the people displaced and starving everywhere. He still wants to add this war disaster. Judging from the current situation, Tubo may not survive this disaster. ]

[Brother, what should we do? According to the news from Shanzhou, the war in the east has not been decided because of the battle in Hezhou. This year, the scope of the war has gradually expanded.]

[More and more Tibetan border generals began to join the melee. Even though Shazhou is far away from Shanzhou, as long as the Shazhou garrison commander gave an order and ordered all the Shazhou troops to go south to join the battle, how dare we, the foreign tyrants, disobey? ]

[How could I not know what you said today? To be honest, I have also been thinking about the future of my brothers these days.]

[Oh? I wonder if my brother has any harvest? ]

[I do have some thoughts. Our ancestors were originally from the Tang Dynasty, and this place was originally part of Longyou in the Tang Dynasty. Now Tubo is on the decline, and although the Tang Dynasty has experienced internal turmoil, it is still a centipede that will not die even if it is cut into pieces.]

[Why don't you and I take this opportunity to start a rebellion, lead the counties in Longyou to join the Tang court, accomplish some achievements, and leave a mark in history books? What do you think, brother? ]

[Although this idea is good, it needs to be considered in the long run. Just to plan for this Shazhou City, we need to obtain the support of at least three forces: the Shazhou nobles, religious monks, and heroes and righteous men. Not to mention other states and counties. Without an army, there is no point in talking. ]

[That's right, but for the sake of our family's survival, we have to do it no matter how difficult it is.]

[I will go to the city in the next two days to see if there are any heroes and righteous people passing by. You will be responsible for contacting the wealthy and prestigious families such as the Suo and Li families to test their attitudes.]

[As for the religious monks, the Tang Dynasty is carrying out a campaign to destroy Buddhism. For the time being, I am afraid that not many Buddhists will be willing to return to the Tang Dynasty. We will not care about them for the time being. Once we build up momentum, some people will naturally come to surrender.]

[Okay, I'll listen to you, brother! Cheers! ]

【cheers!】

Happy days always pass quickly. Shen Yuelan spent the whole day eating, drinking and having fun in Shazhou. She was so happy that she completely forgot that there was a beautiful woman named Xiaoman waiting for them to rescue her.

But fortunately, this team of brave men has a sober wizard who is always urging everyone on.

In the gentle land of Shazhou, the brave warrior Shen Yuelan, who had been indulged for less than a day, signed a treaty of demise under the coercion of the sober wizard early the next morning, which stipulated that he would leave for Yizhou that evening.

[Master, I have reason to believe that you are recording something indecent.]

[What do you mean by indecent? This is obviously a story about a hero, how can it be indecent? I think it’s because your mind is full of pornographic garbage, so you only see things that are indecent. ]

[Hey! Master, you are actually blaming me for something else! ]

[Hmph, Master, whatever you say is fine. Anyway, we have to leave Shazhou City tonight. It's no use pouting!]

[Hurry up and get up! Let's go eat something hot while the weather is still cool. Otherwise, once it gets hot, you won't be able to eat anything delicious. ]

[I know. Breakfast in Shazhou is just noodles. What's so delicious?]

[Are the buns not delicious? They are big, thin-skinned buns stuffed with mutton and donkey meat? ]

[Oh! It sounds good. I want to eat it! ]

[Then hurry up and get up! Really, how come after coming to the Western Regions, I have developed the habit of staying in bed? ]

[Hehe, it’s all because of you, Huanyan! ]

【What?】

In stark contrast to the bitterly low temperatures, the breakfast shop chosen by Shen Huanyan was doing extremely hot business. Among the many guests who came to dine, a table of four young women was particularly eye-catching.

Their clothing and appearance attracted a lot of attention, including the Zhang brothers who also came to dine.

[Discussion: The clothes of those four women seem to be from the Tang Dynasty, and so are their looks and accents.]

[Yes, brother, you are right. They should be the women from Tang. However, why did they come here? Or, why are there only four women in the team and no men? This is really strange.]

[Yes, but one thing is certain, that is, these four people are definitely not simple. What kind of woman can go deep into the desert alone and come all the way to Laishazhou to eat breakfast, haha. ]

[Hahaha, that's true. Anyway, let's go make some friends and see if it can help our cause.]

Just as Shen Yuelan was enjoying her meal, the waiter from the breakfast stall suddenly brought four servings of noodle soup, saying that they were given to them by the guests at the next table. Shen Yuelan was about to turn around to thank them, but unexpectedly saw someone unexpected.

[Hey? Huanyan, are all the wealthy people so poor nowadays? Not only did they run out to eat at a roadside stall, but they also only treated guests to noodle soup. Isn't this a bit wrong? ]

[Um, this...]

Zhang Yichao, who was originally planning to get up and go chat with Shen Yuelan, froze in place instantly after hearing the question from the woman next to him. For a moment, he was neither able to stand nor sit and felt very awkward.

Amid his brother's suppressed laughter, Zhang Yichao called the waiter over in embarrassment and began to question him with gritted teeth.

[How did you do this? Didn't I tell you to serve them the best drinks? Why did you serve them soup? ]

[Sir, I am doing just as you said. This is a breakfast shop, so the best drink is noodle soup, right?]

Zhang Yichao was speechless after hearing what the waiter said. Yes, what good things could there be in a breakfast shop? It was all his fault that he was used to delivering things on a daily basis. He just said it casually and didn't choose a suitable place, which led to the current situation.

Although Shen Yuelan was a little confused about the four bowls of noodle soup, out of politeness, Shen Yuelan took the initiative to stand up and thank Zhang Yichao and his group, helping Zhang Yichao to ease the atmosphere.

As for the purpose of Zhang Yichao and others, Shen Yuelan didn't dare to ask proactively. After all, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you, not to mention that they gave her four bowls of noodle soup.

However, since the other party took the initiative to talk, I think he will make his intentions clear sooner or later.

[Miss Shen, right? I'm really sorry for what happened just now. I was negligent. I, Zhang, will come to your house in person someday to apologize to you ladies.]

[What are you talking about? As the saying goes, a small gift may be more valuable than a big one. I just think it is a local custom in Shazhou.]

[No, no, no, please don't say that. If this matter spreads out of Shazhou City, I, Zhang, will have no face to live in this world anymore. I hope Miss Shen will be tolerant.]

[Haha, okay, okay, I won't mention it. However, there's no need to come to apologize, after all, we are leaving Shazhou City today.]

[Haha, is that so? It seems that we are not meant to be together.]
