Chapter 197 Gu Lang

As soon as Nanzhi put her three children to sleep, she heard the voices of her mother-in-law and her two sisters-in-law coming from the yard.

"Fat Ya, do you have hot food?"

Mother Lin's voice was obviously tired, and Nanzhi hurried out after hearing this.

"Yes, you guys have a rest first and I'll bring the food out."

After Nanzhi poured water for her mother-in-law and her two sisters-in-law, she went to the kitchen to serve food.

In the past two days, all the ingredients prepared at the stall were sold out. Nanzhi always remembered to leave food for them every time he came home.

"Is business so good today?"

Nanzhi looked at Mother Lin and asked.

Due to the increased flow of people in the past two days, the sisters-in-law specially prepared more ingredients today, but they did not expect to come back more than half an hour earlier than yesterday.

"Not long after you left, a lot of people came into the city. Some of the merchants were holding that ugly thing."

As she talked, Mother Lin forgot what the thing was called, and suddenly became anxious.

"Camel." Chen Qiulan said at the right time.

"Yes, yes, that's the camel. It doesn't look like a mule or a horse. It has two meaty gadas on its back that look really ugly."

Mother Lin smacked her mouth, feeling a little disgusted as she spoke.

Each of those people looked a little strange, their hair was not smooth at all and looked messy, and there was a strange smell around them.

When I ate at the stall in the evening, there was a smell that was both fragrant and smelly, and those camels almost stepped on the vegetables!

"camel?"

Nanzhi's head was filled with questions.

Came to Yancheng with a camel?

Could it be Hu Shang?

But this Yancheng is who knows how far away from the Western Regions. Hu Shang couldn't have set out five months ago to attend the Shang Gathering, right?

If that was the case, then she would be a little curious about this Shang Hui.

She originally only thought that the Shang Hui Festival was a matter for the wealthy businessmen. As for the small vendors like them, they could only take advantage of this opportunity to get some glory.

After all, she had also inquired that anyone who wanted to join the Shang Gathering had to have an invitation to join, and the requirements for posting were also ridiculously high.

As their family now has a stall and a shop, if they want to get an invitation, they have to work hard for more than two hundred years, and only after they have a fortune can they figure it out.

Even the Hu merchants from the Western Regions came here with their camels. Is there something else they don't know?

With something in mind, Nanzhi also packed up and continued out of the stall the next day.

As soon as the sky turned white, Mother Lin and Chen Qiulan went to the market to buy vegetables, leaving Nanzhi to make soup and run a stall.

Sun Cui was not feeling well today, so Mother Lin simply asked her to stay at home and rest.

Nanzhi had just finished boiling the bone soup, and before he could set up the bench, he saw a man wrapped in thick clothes wandering on the street.

Seeing the heat rising from the stall, the man's eyes lit up and he walked straight towards Nanzhi.

When he saw that the man guarding the stall was different from the one he saw yesterday, the man was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Gu Liang, is your group food on sale?"

Nanzhi was setting up tables and benches when he heard someone talking and raised his head.

When he looked up and saw the man's eyes, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

This person must be a Hu businessman, right?

After all, those blue pupils clearly marked him as not Han.

"not yet."

Nanzhi shook his head and continued: "Now we can only sell noodles."

You have to buy the ingredients for group meals on the same day and pack them back, so neighbors who want to eat group meals usually wait until noon before coming over.

"Isn't there a group meal?"

The Hu man was obviously disappointed.

"So there's nothing for sale today?"

"It will be later. You can come back in half an hour."

Nanzhi said.

"Excuse me, I want a bowl of noodles."

The barbarian was really hungry, so he just sat on the stool and waited for Nanzhi.

"A bowl of noodles is five cents, please wait."

After collecting the coins, Nanzhi rolled up his sleeves and started making condiments.

Although I can’t get a group meal myself, I can still make noodles.

Looking at the busy back of the Han girl, Hu Shang gathered his clothes.

He was really hungry, so he ate noodles after a while, then ate two bowls of group food before going back to the inn.

With a plan in mind, Hu Shang sat more securely.

I was really dumbfounded when I saw the way Nanzhi was fishing for noodles.

When Nanzhi brought a bowl of hot noodles to him, Hu Shang looked away with embarrassment.

Thinking of the fair arm he just saw, the tips of Hu Shang's ears turned red.

"Your noodles are ready, eat them."

Nanzhi put the bowl in front of him and then continued to set up the table and benches.

It's all packed up, so there won't be any trouble when grandma and sister-in-law come back.

Seeing people continuing to work, Hu Shang was embarrassed to look any further, lowered his head and started eating noodles.

It tasted much better than expected, so Hu Shang started to eat it.

I had been on the road with the caravan, and I didn't encounter anything too bad on the way, but the food and drink were a bit poor.

Later, the caravan separated from him, and he encountered many more things along the way.

Sometimes when I go to a small town, the people there bully me that I am a barbarian. A bowl of noodles costs me twenty cents, but only clear soup noodles are sold to me for ten cents.

Because he kept holding back the goods, he ate countless meals of clear soup noodles and dry pancakes along the way.

Watching him finish the noodles in several mouthfuls, Nanzhi swallowed subconsciously, feeling choked just by looking at him.

Could it be that this person hasn't eaten for a long time?

Really afraid that he would choke, Nanzhi filled a bowl of bone soup and brought it over.

"This soup is for you. Eat it slowly." Don't choke here.

Hu Shang was stunned when he saw the broth placed in front of him.

Why did this Han girl bring me soup?

"Many, thank you."

After thanking him, Gu Lang blushed and picked up the bowl and slowly took a sip of the soup.

After a mouthful of hot soup, he felt his whole body warm up.

As his body warmed up, Gu Lang continued to sit, just waiting to eat the group food.

He has a big appetite and can eat a lot of food in one meal. He knows the price of this small stall. The group meal is 6 cents and the noodles are 5 cents. The food tastes good and the portion is enough. He can't even spend 20 cents for a meal.

As long as you wait for the market to open on February 27th, as soon as your goods are released, you can go back with money to purchase goods.

I can always save enough money for my sister's dowry, and I can also find a wife for myself.

Gu Lang thought happily.

Chen Qiulan and Mother Lin pulled Nanzhi to question him.

"Why is that man giggling there?"

"I don't know, I was fine just now." Nanzhi shook his head.

"Looks like he's not stupid, so just leave him alone. If anything happens, stay away."

After Mother Lin finished speaking in a low voice, the three of them nodded in agreement and continued to prepare.

As soon as Nanzhi finished packing her things and was about to sit down, she saw three figures with a big gap in height coming towards her.

Just as he was about to say hello, Nanzhi saw the chubby little girl in the middle rushing toward her.

"Aniang!"
