Chapter 183 Gambling on Stones
At this time, in the big bunk bed in the backyard of the inn.
The exiled prisoners lay next to each other.
They are in this state most of the time.
If you don’t eat enough all day, try not to move.
The less you move, the slower you get hungry.
At this time, there were not many people lying on the big bunk bed.
A group of prisoners lined up in front of the water tank. Those who got the water scoop took it and drank the water.
On the table not far from the big bunk bed, there were several empty plates.
Almost all of Xuanyi’s failed products are here.
The prisoners were both in pain and happy.
They hadn't eaten food of this quality for a long time, so they were naturally very happy.
But these dishes all smell delicious.
They taste either sweet or salty, and some are very spicy.
At the end of the meal, even if they shouted that they were full, there would still be someone watching them and making them finish their meal.
Some people's tongues were numb and they held the water scoop in great pain.
My stomach was already full of water, but my throat was still dry from thirst.
Xu Yinghe held her two children and squeezed into a corner with Xie Ziqian.
They were lucky enough to grab a plate of dessert, which wasn't overly sweet.
As they walked, the two children were so hungry that their faces were pale and their chins were pointed, making them look particularly pitiful.
I had a rare full meal today, and now I am leaning against my mother and falling into a deep sleep.
Xie Ziqian looked at the two children, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes.
Xu Yinghe gently hugged Su'er and looked at the empty plate with a sigh: "This snack is a specialty of Fanzhou. It was my favorite when I was a child. Unfortunately, I almost forgot what it tasted like."
There was nostalgia and melancholy in her eyes.
More importantly, I feel helpless about my current situation.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Xie Ziqian's heart moved: "You have been to Fanzhou a long time ago"
Xu Yinghe didn't understand why he suddenly asked this, but she answered anyway: "I have an aunt who is quite close to me and lives in Fanzhou. It seems to be nearby. It's just been a long time, and some details are not very clear to me."
…
"Come on, Xuanyi. As long as you study hard, when we get to the wilderness, we can open a first-class restaurant."
Lu Wanyin watched with great interest, even grabbing a handful of melon seeds and cracking them while watching.
Xuan Yi made a bitter face and waved the wok resignedly.
His own master wanted to please his wife, but he was the one who got hurt. It's so unfair!
"lady."
At this moment, Xuan Qi came in from outside. After a simple greeting, he reported: "Madam, your farm is almost full."
Lu Wanyin was surprised: "So fast"
It seems that Mu Linyuan's people are quite efficient!
Xuan Qi nodded and replied, "And the hundreds of meals sent by Yipinlou have also arrived."
Lu Wanyin had specifically instructed that they must report as soon as the food was delivered.
Food tastes better when it's hot.
It is winter now, and even if you cover yourself with a thick quilt, it won't keep you warm for long.
Moreover, if you keep it for a long time, the taste will deteriorate.
Everything else can be discussed later, but the food should not be missed.
Lu Wanyin immediately stood up, and before she had taken two steps, she turned around and pulled Xie Jingci up: "Let's go together."
After a day, the wheelchair should be roughly made.
It would be a good opportunity for Xie Jing to resign and see if there is anything that needs to be revised. He can bring it up.
"good!"
Xie Jingci naturally had no objection.
Anyway, wherever Lu Wanyin goes, he will follow.
Lu Wanyin specially changed Xie Jingci's and her own appearance and went to the farm first.
After storing the food into the space, Lu Wanyin went to check the livestock.
After a quick count, they were all put into the space.
The space became more lively.
There were herds of cattle, sheep, and even a few camels.
There are also many poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, quails, etc.
Since they are only collected within the city, some species are rare.
Xuan Qi followed behind and said, "Madam, the shopkeeper Mu Ji left a message. The remaining items have been purchased from outside the city. They will be fully arranged within five days."
Lu Wanyin responded and took all the new arrivals into the breeding farm in the space.
Xie Jingci and Xuan Qi were no longer surprised.
but……
Xie Jingci's expression changed slightly. No wonder Lu Wanyin asked him about the garrison. Since the lady could even take away living things out of thin air, then could she also take away the army?
Looking at the empty farm again, Lu Wanyin felt extremely satisfied.
She turned around and held Xie Jingci's hand: "I haven't had enough fun yet. Today is a good day. Come walk with me again."
Xie Jingci naturally agreed to accompany his wife shopping.
"If you're passing by, take a look. It's the best rouge."
"Madam, would you like to buy a lantern?"
"Selling tofu pudding. No money if it's not sweet."
The streets are even more lively during the day, with vendors shouting incessantly.
Various stalls have been set up on the roadside, with a dazzling array of goods that are too numerous to take in.
Lu Wanyin took Xie Jingci and walked through the crowd.
She looked left and right, but did not stop in front of any stall.
Xie Jingci noticed her actions and asked with a smile, "Madam, what are you looking for?"
Lu Wanyin asked, "Do you know what Fancheng is most famous for?"
"The most famous Fancheng borders Qi County and is connected to the wilderness. Anyone entering the capital must pass through this place, so it is a gathering place for traveling merchants from all over the country, and there is no shortage of rare treasures."
Xie Jingci pondered for a moment, "Madam, do you want to go shopping in the rare treasure shop?"
"wrong!"
Lu Wanyin stretched out a finger and shook it gently.
What’s so good about rare treasures? The so-called rare treasures here are not as many as those in her space.
When she said this, her eyes suddenly lit up. Xie Jingci followed her gaze and frowned slightly.
Right in front of me, I saw a shop with its door wide open.
The name of this shop is "Turning Stone into Gold".
"Here, I found it."
The owner of this shop was a man in his thirties, with a long beard hanging down his collar and a peaceful smile on his face.
Seeing Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Seeing that the two of them were dressed simply but had extraordinary demeanor, the shopkeeper had an idea in mind and his smile deepened.
"My two distinguished guests, take your pick."
On the wooden table are stones of various shapes.
These stones are of different shapes, some big and some small, and at first glance they don't seem anything special.
Lu Wanyin walked forward and picked up an unremarkable stone seemingly casually.
"That's it."
"Okay."
The shopkeeper saw that she had picked out the stone at first sight, without even judging it, and smiled broadly, "Twenty taels of silver for this one."
Before Lu Wanyin took out the money, Xie Jingci had already thrown the silver on the counter.
Seeing that they paid so readily, the shopkeeper asked considerately, "Is this the only piece you want? Do you want to take it away or pay now?"
Lu Wanyin asked, "Let's take this one first, where can I find the solution?"
"It's right behind the shop. I'll take you two there."
Lu Wanyin nodded, picked up the stone that she had bought at a huge price, and followed him in.
Xie Jingci looked at her back, shook his head helplessly, and then followed her.
There is an open yard at the back.
Before Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci went in, a group of people had already gathered inside.
Those people gathered around the stone table, and the atmosphere was tense and intense.
A man with a nervous look on his face, ragged clothes and messy hair.
His eyes flickered and he stared at the stone on the table with a hint of madness.
"I'm sure it will come out this time! I've even put Yunniang's dowry into it. Heaven will definitely not be so unkind to me!"
There was a stone placed on the stone table in the field.
