Chapter 1417: Confession
and specially recommended to Wang Yongzhu that they recommended local time-honored brands, good leathers, and old shops that make clothes.
Wang Yongzhu and Mrs. Zhang listened to it, which woman doesn't like to go shopping?
simply took the two girls and the mother-in-law, as well as Yao Da, and then Song Xiaowu to follow, and went shopping.
Not to mention this Qishui City, of course, it is not as prosperous as the capital, and the rich state capital is prosperous, but in this northwest place, it is already extremely prosperous.
The people on the street were bustling, most of them tall Northwest men with loud voices.
The local girls are also tall, plump and strong, and most of their skin is red, and they don't look as delicate as the girls in Jiangnan.
The jewelry they wear is also rare silk flowers and the like, but on their necks and wrists, they are wearing necklaces made of various colors of stones and jade, and their hair is also tied with various colors of jade.
Wang Yongzhu and the others only thought it was strange, and they bought a few things and planned to wear them to play.
Previously, in Qilidun, although Yao Da also prepared some skins and made some clothes.
But after listening to the words of the Yicheng, I was afraid that I was not well prepared, so I picked a batch of good skins in the time-honored store and bought ready-to-wear clothes from a local clothing tailor shop.
Especially the fur boots, I have stocked up a lot.
Song Chongjin and Jian Huaifeng were not idle, they also went out every day, sitting in a crowded place in the restaurant for half a day, feeling the humanistic habits of the northwest, and knowing it well.
Seeing that it had passed the middle of September, it was impossible to delay, and the group set off again.
When you go north from Qishui City, there are no big towns on the road.
Although there has been no major conflict with the grassland in recent years, the people of the northwest have become accustomed to living together in groups, otherwise if there is really something, I am afraid that they can only wait for death.
Therefore, along the way, except for the occasional passing by larger villages, most of them are covered with loess, and there is no human population in sight.
It was still mid-September, and the crops had already been harvested.
Trees are rarely seen, and even a few are occasionally yellowed.
The withered grass on the ground is like the sky, and at a glance, it is a yellow color that cannot be seen.
The climate is very dry, and the sun makes people groggy during the day, but at night, it is so cold that people doubt life.
Because they had a lot of luggage, they couldn't walk fast, and there was a long way in between, and there were no villages, so at night, they missed the lodging.
Fortunately, the people in the car dealership are all old-fashioned, and they often take this road.
Without panicking, he led the man to a place where the leeward part of the dry riverbed was.
The carriage luggage was formed in a circle, and the people were surrounded in the middle, and several bonfires were lit.
Because of the previous reminder, Wang Yongzhu and they had prepared sufficient water and dry food.
Put a pot on the bonfire, boil a pot of water, throw the marinated beef and mutton jerky into it, and boil it to make a pot of salty broth. Paired with a crispy cake dressed with twigs and baked over the fire, it's the most comfortable time of the day for those on the go.
Mrs. Zhang has lived a hard life, and she is not picky, she put the cake in the soup and soaked it softly, absorbed the umami in the soup, took a bite, and commented: "This mutton is not fat, it is better than our hometown." I remember one year when someone in the village raised a sheep in the mountains, he was caught in a clip and broke his leg, and he couldn't survive. ”
The family had no choice but to slaughter the sheep and sell it. Everyone dislikes mutton and burns it once, and the smell of the house does not disappear for a few days. I didn't expect the mutton here to taste good. ”
The old man of the car dealer on the side couldn't help but say proudly: "This old lady, you know the goods, let's do it here, don't say anything else, this mutton is first-class and good." ”
"Our sheep eat licorice, bitter beans, and salt artemisia from the pasture, and drink snow water flowing down from the mountains. Freshly slaughtered sheep are cut into large pieces, boiled with only water, and some ginger and shallots are thrown into it, so that you can't wait to swallow your tongue. ”
Listening to this old-fashioned introduction, Wang Yongzhu suddenly felt that his saliva was about to come down, and his eyes were bright and he looked at Song Chongjin.
Not to mention, there are also Song Xiaoyin's brothers who also echoed on the side, saying that this beach of sheep is indeed absolutely amazing, and talking about how to grab mutton by hand, with a big bowl of spirits, it really doesn't change anything.
The people present couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and the dinner, which was supposed to be quite good, suddenly didn't smell very good.
After laughing for a while, seeing that it was not early, the bonfire was lit more vigorously, and the old men untied the leather jackets tied around their waists, wrapped them around their bodies, lay down by the fire, and fell asleep.
Fortunately, Wang Yongzhu and the others were prepared, and they also turned out the leather jacket and leather mattress and wrapped them on their bodies.
Mrs. Zhang was old, and after eating, she laid a wolfskin mattress in the carriage and slept on it very warmly.
Mrs. Ding and the others also fell asleep in the car wrapped in leather jackets.
Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu really couldn't sleep, so they simply got up, wrapped their leather robes tightly, and planned to walk outside.
Song Xiaoyin and his brother left two vigils, and when they saw this, they were about to follow, but they were stopped by Song Chongjin.
Joke, I finally got along with Yongzhu alone for a while, where do I want people to follow him?
The two artists were bold and not afraid, and slowly walked on the dry riverbed.
It was almost fifteen, and the moon was big and round, and it hung overhead, and the ground was frosty white.
I walked a little away from the crowd, and I could only see the fire in the distance, and the faint sound of mules and horses sneezing.
Wang Yongzhu spoke: "There are still two days to go to Chicheng County, do you have a charter in your heart?" I remember when I bought mules in Qilidun, the man gave me a brochure on raising mules and horses. ”
Song Chongjin held Wang Yongzhu's hand, satisfied in his heart, and said while leading her slowly: "I have read that booklet, and I have also consulted some veterans of raising mules and horses, although I can't say that I am proficient, at least I will not be fooled." ”
"When you get there, you don't have to worry about things outside, you just settle down with our family and Mr. Jane first. When you settle down, you will come to see you, and you will not be idle at that time. ”
"If those ladies are honest, they will be respectful to you. If there is someone who is not right-minded, or bullies you young, bullies us just now, and wants to crush you, don't bear it! It should be a lesson, and if you don't give face, you won't give face! What happened to the snake on the ground? If we want to gain a foothold in this Chicheng County, the days will be long in the future, and we will weaken our momentum first, but I am afraid that they will think that we are afraid of them! ”
