"Hey, sir, are you coming to stay at the hotel? Don't worry, our hotel is clean! There will be hot water at all times..." The waiter blurted out the greeting words. When he saw the visitor clearly, the waiter was stunned for a moment, and the following words

I forgot to mention it.

Qiao Yun rubbed her hands and ordered: "Open a room and bring me a bucket of hot water."

"Okay! Please come upstairs!" The waiter responded quickly. But when he walked to the door of the room, he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked: "You are so young, why did you come to the hotel alone a few years ago?

"

The whole body of the clothes does not look like a young lady, nor does it look like a heroine walking around in the world. It is dusty, but looks like a movie about a girl running around in the countryside!

Qiao Yun glanced at him and threw the bunch of 20 copper coins at the waiter: "Help me go to a nearby restaurant to buy a hot dish. It doesn't matter whether it's meat or vegetable. The rest of the money is yours. Shut your mouth.

Don’t ask questions that shouldn’t be asked, your reward will be inevitable!”

"Okay! Just wait!" The waiter quickly caught the copper coins and was immediately overjoyed. He ignored his curiosity and quickly led Qiao Yun to the door of the room. He pushed the door open and said, "Here! You can use this room."

Are you still satisfied? Behind the window of this room is a residential alley, which is quiet; you can get some sunshine even if you get up early from this direction!"

Qiao Yun nodded, took out a few coins and handed them to him: "Okay. Here, it's winter, I'll give you some hot wine to eat!"

"Hey, thank you, sir!" If you have money, you are your father, and if you have milk, you are your mother. The waiter deeply believed in this, so without saying much, he went out to buy hot dishes.

After a while, a middle-aged servant girl knocked on the door.

Qiao Yun opened the door and saw that this woman was tall and thick-set, with a scarf on her head. Her sleeves were rolled up in the cold winter, but her thick arms were still covered with sweat. She was carrying a heavy bucket of hot water in one hand and holding a heavy bucket in the other.

Holding the tray, I don't know what she was knocking on the door with.

Maybe he kicked it with his feet, Qiao Yun thought.

The maid put the food on the low table, filled the bathtub behind the screen with hot water. She took out a fire stick from her arms, lit the charcoal stove in the room, and picked up the fire tongs placed in the corner.

After turning the fire and lighting the fire, the room suddenly became warm.

The maid opened the window again, revealing a small crack, and said: "My dear, remember, you must not close the window tightly when there is a charcoal fire in the room."

Qiao Yun sat on the low couch and watched the whole process. After hearing the instructions, she nodded hurriedly: "I know! It's easy to suffocate people to death if they are locked up tightly."

The maid nodded, and folded the clean towel on her shoulders on the small stool next to the bathtub: "The water is still hot. You can wash it later, little lady."

Qiao Yun was a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom... can you help me give me a bath in a while? I have thin arms and legs, and I can't find the strength to rub myself."

The servant girl smiled and said, "I'm so strong, I'm afraid I might rub off a layer of your skin."

Qiao Yun hurriedly waved her hands, pretending not to care: "The more you do this, the cleaner you'll get! Besides, I'm not a spoiled child. I don't want my aunt to work in vain!"

She took out five more coins and said, "Can I use these five cents as hard-earned money for my aunt?"

The servant girl does some menial work in this inn, such as washing, washing, and mending, and she can only get two hundred cents a month at most. The work required in winter is less, and it is less than two hundred cents. Now this little lady is getting five cents, and the aunt hesitated and agreed.

.

The charcoal stove in the room was burning brightly and was not cold at all. Qiao Yun took a hot bath and felt very comfortable. When she stepped out of the bathtub, every inch of her skin was steaming and every pore was stretched.

, all the dirt on the body was wiped away, and the whole person became fresh from the inside out.

The maid wetted the towel in the bathtub, wrung it out again, and hung it next to the charcoal stove: "Wait a minute, little lady, I will empty the bathtub for you." After that, she hugged her with both hands.

I went out with the bathtub in my arms.

Qiao Yun put on her clothes and was astonished to see it. How exciting it was, a bucket full of water!

After a while, the maid came up again. She cleaned the bath bucket and put it back in its place. She also lifted two wooden buckets filled with water down.

Qiao Yun sat at the table and watched the food brought by the maid.

The waiter brought back two white steamed buns and a plate of hot cabbage.

Qiao Yun stared at this simple dish and was speechless for a while.

Twenty coins is just enough to buy some of this?

How much did the waiter swallow!

However, Qiao Yun was too lazy to pursue these details. She picked up the steamed bun and took a bite.

It's a steamed bun with noodles, like the kind steamed in modern homes. It's a little yellow and very solid. In fact, this kind of steamed bun is the most substantial and filling, but the taste is a little less sweet than the ones steamed by a machine.

The dish was a plate of cabbage, steamed with salt and ginger vinegar. It wasn't hard to swallow, but it didn't have any oil and wasn't fragrant at all.

After chewing twice, Qiao Yun put down her chopsticks, put the food into the package, lay down on the bed, and entered the system.

After she entered the main room, Lu Zheqiu greeted her eagerly, but Xianyun was not here.

"Where is she?" Qiao Yun looked around. "I have a question to ask her."

"She was over at the ranch and said she was going to see the ducks."

"Oh!" Qiao Yun went straight to the village. Sure enough, Xianyun was holding a basin of feed and squatting in the duck pile to feed the ducks.

A group of plump, bright yellow plush balls crowded around her feet, sticking out their duck butts and vying to peck out of her hand.

She feeds the little duck with her left hand and the big duck with her right hand.

Compared to cute little ducks, big ducks flutter much more.

Duck feathers are flying all over the sky.

If you ignore Xianyun's blue skirt embroidered with plum blossoms, the exquisite bun on her head and the luxurious jewelry, this scene is quite warm.

How strange!

Which person who feeds ducks in a pit of loess would dress up like a rich peony!

Qiao Yun stood by the duck house and called her: "Xianyun! Come here!"

When Xianyun heard this, she looked up and saw that it was Qiao Yun calling her. She happily poured the remaining feed directly into the trough, patted the duck feathers on her body, and ran over with her skirt in hand.

"What's going on?"

Qiao Yun took her and found a lawn to sit down. She put the plate of steamed cabbage on the table and asked her, "Do people in the county only eat this?"

"Huh? Where did you get it?"

Qiao Yun briefly explained the matter, and Xianyun crossed his arms, recalled what happened in his memory, and then said: "My uncle works as a cook in a restaurant in the town. I went there to eat when I was a child. The steamed food there is

A plate of cabbage costs twelve cents, which is indeed very expensive! But I don’t know what the price is in other restaurants.”

"That's it. Then try it. How does this steamed cabbage taste compared to the one in that restaurant?"

Qiao Yun took out another pair of chopsticks from her bag and handed them over.

Xianyun took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cabbage and put it into his mouth, then frowned.

"It's okay, they're pretty much the same, but the steamed cabbage is delicious when it's hot, and this one is a bit cold."

The light in Qiao Yun's eyes flashed.

If even the food in the restaurant is of this level, then she would want to open a restaurant!
