Sister, don't you know how to make the seasoning sauce?

As for manpower, we can ask our second and third brothers for help, or we can ask Amu to find someone to help.

I suppose Fang Shizhong is hiding here, so he must have some influence in this prefectural city, right?

For a prince born to the emperor and empress to be assigned to a small county town, he must have someone protecting him, right?

Chi Qiao considered it carefully and then said, "What you said is also acceptable, but we'll have to see the specifics when the time comes."

Right now, we should try to earn as much as we can, however small.

Alright, it's getting late. Let's wash up and go to bed.

With ice blocks on both sides, it wasn't too difficult to endure.

No, Xiaoyu, you get carsick and you need to stay with the kids, so you should stay inside.

If anything happens, I'll call you. Remember not to sleep too soundly.

"Okay, then you go wash first, I'll go out and tell my second and third brothers."

Tell them to come over in the morning and take Zhuangzhuang out, and ask Wang and the others to look after him.

Next, we need to assess the situation in different areas. We need to be more alert during the day; it's not advisable to come in again then.

"Um!"

Since the two sisters had already discussed it, every night from now on, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Chi Yu would sleep in the space.

Chi Qiao didn't consider herself prone to motion sickness, but after a long period of swaying and rocking, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Every time the car stops to rest, my whole body feels like it's falling apart.

Even when my feet touched the ground, I felt like I was floating.

The area outside Anping County was much hotter than Chi Yu had expected.

When the daytime high temperature in Anping County reaches 43 degrees Celsius, the neighboring Anning County is already at 44 degrees Celsius.

When they finally arrived in Fu'an City after a long and arduous journey, the temperature there was even higher, reaching a staggering 45 degrees Celsius.

Even the lowest temperature at night is forty degrees Celsius.

During the day, on the streets, not a single person was silent; even the shops were all tightly shut.

If it weren't for the guards at the city gates, it would look like an empty city.

They didn't linger in Fu'an City. After changing to a carriage and having more fodder and dry rations, they continued their journey.

Fortunately, Fu'an City is not far from the prefectural city. Even if there are delays on the road, it will take at most a day and a half to arrive.

Therefore, by the time they arrived at the dock outside the city, it was already the first day of the fourth month.

As it was getting late, the group did not continue their journey that night, but instead found a relatively nice inn to stay in.

The fish in the pond were new to the place and were somewhat excited.

A rare breeze was blowing in her face, and since it wasn't too late, she decided to go for a walk.

Fearing for her safety, Qin Mu naturally had to follow.

As the older sister, Chi Qiao naturally had to follow along.

In the end, all nine of them went out with them.

Perhaps because this is within the territory of the prefectural city, even late at night, the dock area is still brightly lit and bustling with people.

Every so often, a boat would dock and stop.

Chi Yu listened to the lively hawking sounds, exchanged a glance with her sister, and then the two began to observe.

It's around 8 PM now, and the surrounding area is mostly filled with food vendors.

Besides pancakes, pies, steamed buns, and porridge, the food also includes mixed noodles, soup noodles, glutinous rice balls, and wontons.

Of course, the price is much higher than in Anping County.

A coarse flour bun, not very big, even smaller than those in Anping County today, cost two coins.

The steamed buns, also made with coarse flour, were about the same size as regular steamed buns. The vegetarian filling cost three coins, and the meat filling cost five coins.

Chi Yu specially spent money to buy one meat and one vegetable filling. When she broke them open, she found that the vegetable filling was made of green vegetables and dried shrimp, with lots of vegetables and a thin skin.

The meat filling is the opposite, with a thick skin and little filling.

Chi Yu felt that the piece of meat was about the size of one joint of her two smallest fingers when put together.

In her opinion, it would be better to spend three coins to buy vegetarian buns than five coins to eat meat buns.
