Chapter 280: Deep in the Mountains (Part 1)
After hearing Jiang Zhiluo say this, everyone took it.
But I felt warm and touched in my heart.
On the way back, everyone said to Wei Xingye, "Young Master Wei, if Miss Jiang needs help again in the future, you must call us."
"Yeah, we just went out to play for a few days and had a good meal."
"Mrs. Jiang's cooking skills are so good. The food she makes is so delicious. Even restaurants don't have food as good as hers."
"Yes, steamed buns, pies, wontons, and dumplings are all delicious."
“Even the noodles are delicious.”
Everyone was talking excitedly, and now they couldn't help but recall the food they had eaten in the past few days.
Everyone was very excited and couldn't help discussing along the way.
Wei Xingye looked at everyone's excited and happy expressions and smiled.
The brothers of the escort agency haven't been so happy for a long time.
Yes, he also felt very comfortable these days.
Although I was helping with some work and the weather was a bit hot and I was sweating easily, the master prepared some cold tea and drinks for me, and every sip of it made me feel extremely refreshed.
Strangely enough, he thought the water in his master's house was really delicious.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect.
When everyone was walking back, they happened to pass by Linjianglou, a restaurant in the town.
When seeing the huge crowds of guests, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"I remember that Linjianglou was very quiet before, but now the business is so good."
"We've seen it every time we passed by Linjiang Tower these days. There are a lot of people there at night."
They went to Donghe Village in the morning and came back in the evening.
In the morning, the restaurant was closed and nothing could be seen.
But in the evening, when everyone is having dinner, you can immediately tell how the restaurant business is.
Although they are all brothers in the escort agency and often go out on escort missions, if the mission is big, they can earn a lot of money in one round trip.
But they didn't dare to go to the restaurant to spend money, at most they knew some information.
Or they would occasionally take on heavy tasks, and after completing them, their boss would invite them to a restaurant for a meal, and they could go to the restaurant to see the world.
Someone said, "What do you know? Linjianglou has just launched the latest dishes and has a set menu promotion. They are delicious and cost-effective. Many people have returned to Linjianglou to eat."
"Didn't Baixianglou steal Linjianglou's business this time? Linjianglou introduced new dishes, and Baixianglou can always learn from them."
"That's because Baixianglou didn't buy the ingredients. They're all cold dishes made with preserved eggs. They're delicious, two taels of silver per plate, not expensive. At first, they were limited to a limited quantity, so everyone went to Linjianglou just for the novelty. Who would have thought there was such a good deal on set meals? It doesn't cost much, but you're full..."
"You don't know that Baixianglou quickly learned to offer set meals, but Linjianglou's cold dishes are well made. I heard they taste really good. Everyone craves cold dishes on hot days, so Linjianglou's business is booming..."
Wei Xingye said, "We had that cold-mixed egg dish you're talking about at my master's house before, at noon on the first day. Have you forgotten?"
When Wei Xingye said this, everyone suddenly remembered.
The truth is that we have eaten so many different kinds of food these days that I almost forgot about it.
They were so busy eating that they didn't even know what the dish was called.
"It's really a cold-mixed preserved egg dish. It can't be the same as the one in the restaurant!"
"That's a big plate. Didn't we spend a lot of silver?"
When everyone realized this, they suddenly felt that the wages given to them by Miss Jiang were a bit heavy.
Just don't take these.
Wei Xingye always felt that the improvement in Linjianglou's business might be related to his master, but he had no evidence.
He only knew the news about Baixiang Tower and Linjiang Tower.
I also know that now it is Manager Feng who is in charge of Linjiang Tower.
Shopkeeper Feng is now the owner of Linjiang Tower.
As for the seasoning of the cold dish, I heard it was very good and the cold dish was well made.
He had never been there, but he had heard about it from his father.
As an escort agency, if they want to run the agency well, they need to know a lot of local information.
This way, when someone asks them to run a courier service, they at least know whether there are any complex relationships involved.
However, seeing that Linjianglou's business is getting better now, Wei Xingye also felt a little sad.
He had previously thought that Linjiang Tower was going to be closed.
To be honest, he felt it was a pity at that time, because the shopkeeper Feng of Linjianglou was indeed a nice person.
The waiters in the store are also very enthusiastic, efficient and do not discriminate against people.
…
The villagers have harvested all the wheat during this period, but no one is in a hurry to grind it.
The people of Xingshan Village have temporarily moved deep into the mountains.
The people in Donghe Village were watching as they packed up the wheat and took everyone to hide in the mountains.
The villagers had previously built simple wooden houses here, which could provide some shelter from the wind and rain, but they were certainly no match for the houses in the village.
It can only provide a temporary shelter for everyone.
Although everyone is not used to living in the mountains.
But now that the crops have been harvested, it is the slack season for farmers, so no one is in a hurry to do anything.
After dinner every day, everyone gathered under the big tree by the pond to enjoy the cool air and chat.
After staying in the mountains for a few days, Cui Hejin came back from the town school one day with a bad look on his face.
Jiang Zhiluo asked worriedly, "But what happened?"
Originally, Jiang Zhiluo was thinking of asking Cui Hejin to resign as a teacher at the school.
After all, things are not peaceful outside now, so safety is the most important thing.
However, the school was not on vacation, so it was difficult for Cui Hejin to ask for leave.
Besides, Jiang Zhiluo didn’t dream that Cui Hejin was in danger, so she didn’t stop him.
Although I don't stop it, I still can't help but worry.
Especially Mrs. Cui and Cui Qingci were relieved to see Cui Hejin coming to the cave safely every day.
Jiang Zhiluo even set up traps outside the valley.
If outsiders don't know, they will definitely fall into the trap and be caught if they rush in rashly.
The people in Donghe Village know where the traps are, how to get there and how to avoid them.
But everyone is now well prepared and plans to hide here for a while instead of going out.
On weekdays, only Cui Hejin would go out.
Cui Hejin said with a cold expression, "Fighting has also broken out in our Beizhou. Imperial soldiers are disguising themselves as bandits to steal food. I heard that some farmers in other towns have had their food robbed, and many have been killed or injured."
"So Mr. Li gave the academy a long vacation, and will resume classes when peace prevails outside."
Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Cui Hejin didn't have to go to school.
But when she thought about what he said about the war outside, Mrs. Cui looked a little unhappy.
"I'll go talk to the village head about this, and have him tell the villagers not to go anywhere during this period of time and just hide in these deep mountains."
Mrs. Cui said this and went to find the head of the village.
When the head of the village and Mrs. Zhu heard the news, their faces turned pale and they were even a little scared.
"Fortunately, our village is hiding here."
"It's all thanks to me listening to Zhiluo."
"This matter is very serious. We should quickly tell the villagers and tell them not to go outside."
"That's right. When peace comes outside, we can all go back to the village and live there."
