Chapter 78 Looking for a Shop in Mingfeng Town



Su Qi wasted some time because of Fang Xiaoya's disturbance. When she returned to the courtyard, she didn't see Gu Beiheng. She heard that he had taken a few people into the mountains to hunt.

Men can't sit still.

Su Qi asked Yingjiu to set up a carriage, as she planned to rent a shop in Mingfeng Town.

Yingjiu agreed and walked out.

Dabao, Erbao and several other children were pestering Yingba in the front yard to teach them martial arts.

See Su Qi.

Dabao came running over with his short legs.

With her little face tilted up, her eyes sparkled as she stared at Su Qi. "Mom, can I go to town with you?"

"I want to go too." Erbao dropped the bamboo helicopter in his hand and ran over, laughing with his face up, unwilling to be left behind.

"Mom has something to do in town. You guys stay home and play."

"No, Bao wants to go." Erbao was like a sticky candy, grabbing Su Qi's legs with both arms and shaking them non-stop.

Dabao looked at Erbao and wanted to imitate Erbao but was too shy.

He closed his eyes and squeezed his chubby chin together. "Mom, take us there. Let Wuya and Wuji accompany us."

Su Qi couldn't resist the two little guys, and touched their chubby little faces lovingly. Dabao and Erbao consciously moved their heads into Su Qi's palms, constantly moving their little faces.

He giggled and said, "Mom, let us go."

"Okay. But you have to be obedient." Su Qi looked up at Yingba, "Yingba, tell Eleven to come with me to the town."

"Yes, ma'am." Yingba clasped his fists and left.

Su Qi frowned and waited for Ying Jiu for a while.

Why hasn't this guy harnessed the carriage yet? Su Qi was about to ask someone to go and see what was going on when she saw Ying Jiu walking over with his head down.

Ying Jiu looked up in annoyance, "Madam, that little red horse has a very bad temper and wouldn't let me get close to him." If it weren't for his good skills, even Little Radish would have been crippled by the little red horse.

The little red horse was bought by Gu Beiheng at the Laohuaishu Cart Shop. At that time, Gu Beiheng had to fight with the stubborn guy for a long time before he subdued it.

He was very obedient throughout the rest of the journey.

This~~

Su Qi thought to herself that this was a bad character and that Gu Beiheng couldn't be the only one who could tame it.

If you don't obey, you will be killed.

"I'll go take a look."

If there were no little red horse, we would have to walk to the foot of the mountain and then take an ox cart from the village at the foot of the mountain to go to town.

In order to facilitate access, Yingyi specially asked villagers to level the difficult road two days ago.

Now both horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts can pass through.

Su Qi asked Xiao Liuzi to give rice cakes to the children and send them to the north of the stream so they could return to the village. Mrs. Zhang's grandson was sent to Mrs. Zhang and returned with her that night.

Several little boys chattered in unison: "Mother Dabao, there's no need to send us over. I can jump over the stream in a flash."

"You jumped into the water in a flash." The friend who was traveling with you laughed.

"Mother Dabao, let's wade across the stream. This is a common stream." The older Sanwa carefully held the rice cake in his hand. He wanted to take the rice cake back for his sister to eat.

None of the little ones ate the rice cakes, and each of them held it carefully in their hands.

Su Qi looked at two people who were about the same age as Dabao, and her saliva started to flow, but she swallowed it back. "Why don't you eat rice cakes?"

Sanwa smiled innocently. "Take it home and eat it with my sister."

The others nodded. "I'll eat with my brother."

"I have a younger brother and an older sister."

Su Qi saw that there were still rice cakes on the table, and each child had consciously taken only one piece of rice cake. She couldn't help but be moved, so she walked over and took another piece of rice cake and put it in their hands.

"Then you will each have two rice cakes today."

The little ones looked at Su Qi with joy, but also a little embarrassed. Dabao and Erbao usually gave them malt sugar, but they had never given Dabao anything delicious.

"Thank you, Dabao's mother. We haven't given Dabao and Erbao any delicious food yet."

Su Qi looked at the children tenderly, "When spring comes, you can pick wild fruits for Dabao and Erbao to eat."

"Okay, we understand." The children nodded vigorously. Then they made an appointment with Dabao and Erbao for tomorrow's time and ran out.

After seeing the children off, Su Qi came to the stable built specifically for the little red horse.

He walked over with a bad look on his face and stared at the little red horse.

I want to braise it every minute.

The little red horse looked up and saw Su Qi, then lifted its hooves and ran over.

He nestled his head on Su Qi's shoulder and licked Su Qi's hand with his tongue in a flattering manner.

"I heard that you don't allow Ying Jiu to ride the carriage." Su Qi reached out and patted the little red horse on the head.

The little red horse blinked twice and shook his head. Impossible.

He spotted Yingjiu coming over and snorted at her. He also lifted his hoof and kicked it, as if to say, "Wait for me, you snitch!"

Yingjiu rolled his eyes: You are a coward.

"Yingjiu, harness it to the carriage."

"Yes." Yingjiu proudly pulled the little red horse over to harness it to the carriage.

The little guy didn't dare to resist, only staring at Su Qi with a pair of innocent eyes. "Do you mean there's something good to reward me?" "Eating this tasteless grass every day is making me feel bland."

Su Qi didn't even give it a glance, which allowed it to develop a bad temper.

Hitch the carriage.

Su Qi took Dabao, Erbao, Baizhi, Zeng Wuya, and Zeng Wuji with her. Yingjiu drove the car, and Zeng Wuming and Yingshiyi also followed to the town.

It takes half an hour to drive the carriage to Mingfeng Town.

The closer the village is to the town, the better. You can see many brick houses under the yellow branches.

Some families have brick and tile houses with large courtyards. These are probably wealthy families in the village. Some families have only two or three brick and tile houses, and the rest are thatched houses.

Compare Mengjiazhuang with the villages at the foot of the mountain.

The villages near the town are popular places in the wedding market.

Mingfeng Town is an important transportation hub in the area.

It leads to the Dali Kingdom in the south and the border of Dai Viet Kingdom to the west, and is the junction of three countries.

There are many merchants coming and going here, and many traveling merchants stop in Mingfeng Town to exchange goods before heading to the next stop.

The east side of the town is where the rich live, the west side is where the slums live, the north side is where all kinds of people mix, and the south side is where the middle class lives, as well as places like academies and teahouses.

When Su Qi arrived in the town, she got off the carriage and strolled around slowly with Bai Zhi and Ying Shiyi.

Let Yingjiu take Dabao, Erbao, Zeng Wuming, Zeng Wuya, and Zeng Wuji for a walk.

Su Qi first went to the East Market to take a look around. There were all kinds of restaurants and teahouses, as well as cloth shops, silver shops and money houses.

Everyone who came in and out of the store was wearing silk and satin.

Compared with the West Market I saw when I just got off the bus, everyone had a pale face and wore torn coarse cloth clothes.

It's true that those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from floods will die of floods.

Ying Shiyi rubbed his hands and said with an embarrassed smile, "Madam, do you want to open a shop here? We can't sell charcoal here, so why don't we open a restaurant here too?"

Ying Shiyi owns a restaurant and a bank in Northwest City. Gu Beiheng doesn't know what kind of shop he runs, and the shopkeeper doesn't know that the boss behind the scenes is actually the Northwest General.

Su Qi shook her head.

"Let's go to Nanshi. We'll open a charcoal shop there."

Ying Shiyi didn't know why Su Qi was so determined to open a charcoal shop. Logically speaking, there was already a charcoal shop in the town, so opening another one would be a bit risky.

Moreover, Jinyang Prefecture is not a northwest city, and it is not as cold as a northwest city.

A cold wind blew and Ying Shiyi shivered.

never mind.

I might as well open a charcoal shop.

The cold here is an all-round attack, the kind that makes it impossible to defend against.

Su Qi and Bai Zhi were shopping on the street.

Ying Shiyi went to find a dental clinic, and soon the dental practitioner Xiao Que Ya ran over behind Ying Shiyi.

Su Qi had just come out of the bookstore. Bai Zhi was holding a few travelogues about neighboring countries. There were also two storybooks, all about a scholar preparing for an imperial examination and a young lady from a wealthy family, and the heartbreaking love story they had.

"Madam, I found a real estate agent and he said there are several shops for sale in the South Market. The prices are higher for those closer to the East Market, while the rent is cheaper for those closer to the West Market."
