Chapter 193: Careful Planning

The county seat of Qiuyuan is about the same as Huanyu County, and the area is not very large, because it is not very far from the border of Nanzhou, and now that Nanzhou is occupied by the Japanese people, some rich and powerful officials and wealthy businessmen and some abilities have moved to other places, and it seems a little depressed here, but it is much stronger than Dongzhou, which is constantly fighting all year round.

The guards at the city gate saw Yuan Fang and his party coming, the guards were a little curious, these seven men and women were dressed ordinary, dusty, and they looked like they were in a hurry, such people were very common, but the guards always felt that these people had an inexplicable chill on their bodies, which made him a little frightened.

Yuan Fang and they led the horses into the city gate, the guards did not stop them, Yuan Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but he still remembered that when he first arrived in Phantom Feather City, it was because of the two official horses that caused a lot of trouble, although they were not official horses, but they were well-trained war horses, in a sense, these war horses were more eye-catching than official horses, once discovered, Yuan Fang was really difficult to explain.

Entering the city, Yuan Fang and his entourage began to wander around the streets, Ouyang Xianxue pointed to a luxuriously decorated inn in front of him and said, "Brother-in-law, there is an inn there, let's go there." ”

Yuan Fang looked at it and said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, let's go around again, let's get familiar with the environment first." Ouyang Xianxue sighed, and didn't think much about it, as a soldier, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the environment when you first arrive in a strange place, not to mention that this mission is special, you must be careful.

An hour passed, Yuan Fang was still wandering around the street, Huo Bingyan couldn't help it: "Brother-in-law, why don't we eat first, I'm dying of hunger." ”

Yuan Fang pointed to the burden on the horse's back: "Isn't there dry food, if you are hungry, eat some first." ”

Huo Bingyan pouted and said, "I won't eat it, I'm waiting for you to invite us to eat something delicious." Yuan Fang smiled helplessly, reached out and touched the small copper coin in his baggage, feeling guilty for a while.

When he set off, Yuan Fang brought out all the remaining two taels of copper coins, but along the way, people ate horses and bought clothes, and they had already spent about the same, and the rest was barely enough to go back.

After shopping for a while, Yuan asked the roadside vendors, and finally found a satisfactory inn in the corner of the south of the city, and said with a smile: "It's done, let's stay here today." ”

Ouyang Xianxue looked at the old storefront of the inn, with some tattered signboards, and said in disappointment: "Brother-in-law, you are too picky." ”

Yuan Fang said embarrassedly: "What's wrong with this place, I think it's very good, I forgot what we are here for, living here is low-key enough, and it is not easy to be discovered." ”

Seeing everyone's disbelief and suspicion, Yuan Fang threw himself and said, "Okay, I'll be honest, we don't have much money, let's save some if we can, otherwise we will be hungry when we go back." ”

Ouyang Xianxue is not a picky person, so she smiled and said, "Okay then." ”

Handing over the war horse to the enthusiastic guy to take care of the backyard, Yuan Fang and his entourage walked into the inn, similar to other inns, the hall on the first floor has more than a dozen sets of tables and chairs scattered for the guests to eat, at this time it has passed, there are not many people in the hall, only two tables of guests drink and talk.

Yuan Fang came directly to the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, how much do you spend a night?" ”

The shopkeeper has been operating the inn for many years, it can be said that he has met countless people, at the beginning of the meeting, everyone in Yuan Fang and his party had horses, thinking that he had met a big customer, and greeted the guests with a smile on his face, but he was suddenly disappointed when he heard Yuan Fang's words, with experience, rich people will not ask the price as soon as they enter the door, they are all arrogant and ask if there is a room or something, and like Yuan Fang, who asks the price as soon as he comes in, is basically the kind of guest who has little money, at most a few ordinary rooms.

Open the door to do business, the shopkeeper will naturally not dislike the guests, smiled and briefly introduced: "Our shop is small, the price is cheaper, 300 yuan per day in the upper room, 50 yuan for ordinary rooms, for breakfast." ”

Yuan Fang hadn't stayed in an inn a few times, so he asked, "How many people can live in an ordinary room?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned and replied, "The ordinary room has two beds and can accommodate two people." ”

Yuan Fang calculated, there were seven of them in total, that is to say, they needed four ordinary guest rooms, and they needed two hundred wen yuan for one night, plus food, drink and forage for horses, at least four hundred to five hundred wen yuan, that is, nearly half a tael of silver, Yuan Fang felt a pain in his flesh, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, is there a cheaper room?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, looking up and down at Yuan Fang and a few people, judging from their clothes, although they were a little cheesy, they were not poor and sour people, not to mention that there were so many horses, but since they asked, the shopkeeper hesitated and said: "The cheaper is the shop, five cents per person per night, no breakfast." Ouyang Xianxue asked anxiously: "Is there any hot water for a bath?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Ouyang Xianxue, Huo Bingyan and Yu Jingqiu, and was surprised by the good temperament of the three girls, shook his head and said, "No, but if you want hot water, you have to pay for it." ”

When Ouyang Xianxue heard this, she looked at Yuan Fang with a blank eye, Yuan Fang's heart ached slightly, these young girls in the flower season were supposed to enjoy their youth and enjoy life, but in this world, in this era, they are wearing military uniforms to fight on the battlefield.

Yuan Fang felt that since they called themselves brothers-in-law, then his brother-in-law should take care of them, so he gritted his teeth and said to the shopkeeper: "Give me two ordinary guest rooms, the ones that need to be next to each other, add two sets of bedding, and prepare more hot water." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call someone to prepare, do you need anything?" ”

Yuan Fang looked at the others, then shook his head and said, "No, you guys prepare first, let's go eat something." ”

The shopkeeper beckoned the guy to prepare the room and hot water, and after collecting a deposit of two hundred yuan, he beckoned another guy to take Yuan Fang and the others over for dinner.

At first, Yuan Fang thought so, there were six of them, two people in one room, and they planned to have three guest rooms, but at the moment of the exit, Yuan Fang felt that it was inappropriate, they were three men and three women, and the three rooms could not be divided, so they couldn't arrange for one man and one woman to live together, right? Yuan Fang didn't mind, Wang Tiesheng and Zhao Shuigen wouldn't object, but what about Ouyang Xianxue? is a big girl with yellow flowers, so Yuan Fang finally asked for two rooms.

Yuan Fang didn't plan to save the fifty yuan, so he ordered a few hard dishes one after another, such as braised pork, such as the famous steamed fish here, and ordered a lot of seasonal vegetables, but these are all delicious foods that are difficult to eat in the army. Soon, the wine and food were delivered, and looking at the table full of food, everyone's saliva was about to flow out.
