Chapter 143

Cangzhou is located in the north. It's not far from Puyang County. It's about three or four days' drive. Most of the sun family's business is to visit Cangzhou. Just in time, before curfew today, there is a horse team going to Cangzhou. Jin Xiaoxiao takes the opportunity to follow the sun family's horse team to Cangzhou.

Zhao zhutou followed Jin Xiaoxiao's carriage on his horse. From time to time, he turned his head and glanced at it.

After an hour, it was getting late, and the coach team stopped outside a small inn on Shilipo.

"Boss Jin, it's eighteen Li Pu. Now it's curfew. We can only rest at ten Li Po this evening."

Today, it's Sun Fu, the chief housekeeper of sun's family, who leads the horse racing team. Before leaving, councillor Sun told us that no matter what happened, we should give priority to Jin Xiaoxiao and ask her for advice on everything.

Jin Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain of the car. With a slight smile, she nodded to Sun Fu.

Looking around, it was the first time that she had left Puyang County. Although it was night, the scenery outside the window was still there, and the chirping of cicadas and frogs added a touch of wild interest.

After setting up the carts, horses and goods, housekeeper Sun Fu opened two rooms in the only Inn in Shilipo.

"Boss Jin, Constable Zhao, our master has ordered us to take good care of you two. The guest room has been opened. You two should have a rest early tonight. We have to be on our way tomorrow morning."

Housekeeper sun leads Jin Xiaoxiao and Zhao Zhuo to the wing room on the second floor of the inn.

Looking down from the railings, the whole inn is no more than five rooms, plus Jin Xiaoxiao and Constable Zhao are just full.

Jin Xiaoxiao looked suspiciously at housekeeper Sun Fu and asked, "Uncle Fu, where are you staying tonight?"

Housekeeper Sun Fu glanced at the first floor and pointed to a wooden door near the main entrance: "we live in the big shop on the first floor today. We have lived in the same way in the caravan all these years."

When Jin Xiaoxiao heard the words, he felt a little sorry.

Along the way, housekeeper Sun Fu took care of her in many ways. She had no shortage of food and water. In the evening, when she stayed in the inn, she had to live in the wing room. So many people crowded into a shop.

But now there's no other way. There are many people and goods in the caravan. It's not convenient to take turns to look after her in the wing room. She's a woman, and she can't live with the strong men of the sun family.

Jin Xiaoxiao could not help blushing. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said, "brothers have been running all day. In the evening, why don't I cook by myself and give them a toast."

Housekeeper Sun Fu knew Jin Xiaoxiao's craft, but he didn't taste it. He laughed a little and said, "would it be too much trouble?"

Jin Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "the stove, firewood and food materials in the inn should be ready-made and not troublesome."

She glanced at Constable Zhao and hit him on the arm with her elbow. "It's not good for you to eat and drink for free. Follow me to the kitchen and fight."

When Constable Zhao heard the speech, he suddenly widened his eyes and raised his finger to his open mouth. He was surprised and curious: "me?"

"What? Isn't it? "

"This..." Constable Zhao turned his mouth and said: "all the work in the kitchen is women..."

Before he finished, he was suddenly pulled away by Jin Xiaoyi.

After asking the innkeeper, Jin Xiaoxiao took Constable Zhao to the kitchen in the backyard to have a look.

The inn in Shilipo is not big, and the food preparation is not comprehensive. There are only three or five grass carp, a large piece of pork and some vegetables.

In the past, the sun family's horse team stopped at Shilipo. They all provided their own food, and the inns were rarely prepared. Fortunately, the food was enough for more than a dozen people.

Jin Xiaoxiao paid two liang silver, bought all the ingredients, and handed over the arduous work of making a fire and pulling the bellows to Constable Zhao.

After a while, the whole kitchen was full of smoke, like a mountain fire.

Choking Jin Xiaoxiao's tears and runny nose, he couldn't stand it, so he rushed out of the kitchen and coughed for a long time.

She half bent over, wiping tears with one hand, and pointing to Constable Zhao, who had just rushed in, coughed and said: "are you going to burn the inn? Or are you going to die with me? "

Constable Zhao was disheartened. A rat got out of the mud and said, "I've told you, I haven't done this kind of thing."

Jin Xiaobai glanced at him, calmed his breath, and then said, "it's all right. You'd better help Fu Bo check the payment for goods, and call Xiao Er to come by the way."

Constable Zhao rushes out of the kitchen like an amnesty. This time, he changes into a bartender to make a fire.

About half an hour, full of a large table to eat, smell the fragrance on people's fingers.

Sun Fu looked at the dishes on the table and was quite surprised. He asked, "boss Jin, is this all your craft?"

Jin Xiaoxiao nodded irrefutably, with a smile on his lips, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "Uncle Fu, please call my brothers to taste it."

Among the men who are capable of racing horses, sun San, the youngest, seems to be catching up with Constable Zhao.

Since then, I have followed the caravan team to earn a living. In the wind and rain, I just carry some dry food with me. Even in the Spring Festival, I have never seen such a big table of delicious food.

When the brothers sat down, almost in the blink of an eye, there were only about ten empty dishes left.

Sun Fuxiao looked at these rough men, like his own son. He neither earned nor robbed them. He handed the last steamed bread to sun San.

With a smile, sun San took the steamed bread and ate it in fish soup.

When Constable Zhao came back from checking the last box of goods, he didn't even have any soup left. He stared at the empty plate and bowl, pointed to a table of fish bones, and his mouth twitched slightly.

Jin Xiaomin couldn't help laughing, but stood up and said, "who made you late. The brothers are finished

The black line on Constable Zhao's face was completely speechless.

Jin Xiaoxiao came to housekeeper Sun Fu's side and said with a smile: "Uncle Fu, I know you love my brothers. I have some food left. Let's go to the wing room."

After hearing Jin Xiaoxiao's words, the expression on Constable Zhao's face changed from Yin to Qing in an instant. There was a big change of 180 degrees: "Xiaoxiao, I knew you wouldn't do that to me."

Jin Xiaoxiao didn't take care of him either. As Sun Fu went up to the second floor, Constable Zhao happily pointed to a man who was tall and big, and grinned: "look, I have something delicious."

After dinner, it was late. Because he was out, Jin Xiaoxiao just washed up. Just as he lay down, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

She quickly wrapped up the coat, put on the embroidered shoes, pushed aside the side, saw a few men, a face anxious, with Sun Fu toward the inn.

Jin Xiaoxiao frowned and called in a hurry, "Uncle Fu, what's the matter?"
