Chapter 668 (1/2)
The cold wind howled.
Dada
Ground vibration!
A team is coming from the northwest.
”In front of us is the capital, which is still 50 miles away at most. Let's work hard to get to the city before dark. ”
”General, after a few hours of driving, people can withstand it, and horses can't. Can you take a half hour off? ”
Gu's eyes swept over every soldier's face, and he was exhausted.
He nodded. ”If you remember correctly, there's a tea shop ahead. At the tea shop, take a rest for half an hour. ”
”Mighty general!”
The relatives and soldiers responded with a roar, and they were all excited.
Continue to fight the horse forward, as expected, there are buildings ahead.
It's not a tea shop, it's a wine shop.
”Ha ha, there is wine in this place. General, shall we rest here? ”
Gu Gu nodded and stressed: ”listen to me, everyone, one glass of wine at most. Whoever dares to drink will be punished by military law! ”
”No!” The relatives and soldiers agreed in unison, and the momentum was astonishing, which immediately attracted the attention of merchants in the restaurant.
”Look at the momentum. It's a soldier.”
”If you come back from the northwest, maybe it's the northwest army.”
”One by one, they must be the northwest army. Except for the northwest army, the soldiers in other places have no such momentum. ”
”That's what men do!”
”It's all rubbish. Didn't you hear that good guys don't work in the army? A good man should study to become an official and serve the imperial court. ”
”This man is sick of his brain.”
”If you are stupid in reading, don't worry about him.”
”If you go to study and become an official, who will stay at the border. Indeed, it is stupid to read books and not to produce. ”
Merchants are quietly surveying and discussing Gu and his party.
Gu's relatives and soldiers are also looking at the surrounding environment.
”It's worthy of the capital. Such a remote restaurant is full of people.”
”It's a strange house to build.”
”I don't know. This is a house made of cement. Nowadays, it is popular to build houses like this in Beijing. ”
The man welcomed them out with a smile on his face and warmly welcomed them into the restaurant.
”What do you want to eat? There's our menu on the wall. Just follow it. ”
”Hey, it's not bullying people who can't read.” Some of the soldiers muttered.
”Don't talk nonsense. It doesn't matter if you can't read, general
Gu Gu gazed at the menu which occupied half of the wall and said, ”two catties of wine, ten catties of pork head, ten catties of...”
After ordering, the waiter said, ”OK. Ladies and gentlemen, wait a moment. The food will be ready soon. But I want to make it clear to you that the wine here is neither sorghum wine nor wheat wine, but sweet potato wine. If you don't mind, I'll serve you wine. ”
”Sweet potato wine?” I have never heard of them.
The man laughed, ”my guests, you have just arrived in the capital. No wonder. At present, sweet potato wine is only sold in the area around the capital. It is estimated that many people have never heard of it outside the capital. But if sweet potato wants to come, you must have heard of it. ”
”Nonsense, who doesn't know sweet potato is heaven descending food. There are also races in the northwest, and the yield is high. ”
The man nodded, ”yes, yes! This sweet potato is not only high in yield and can satisfy the stomach. Do you know that sweet potato can also make wine. This year, many farmers in the capital area have made a fortune by planting sweet potatoes and selling them to wine making workshops. But the only bad thing is that sweet potato wine doesn't taste as good as sorghum wine and wheat wine. But sweet potato wine is cheap. ”
When the soldiers opened their mouths, they would ask, do they dare to sell the wine with bad taste to them when they asked for food? Can't afford it or what?
As a result, Gu Zhen raised his hand and stopped him.
Gu Gu looked at the man, waved and told him to step forward.
The man was a little frightened, and was stared at by several soldiers. He had to step forward two steps and was very close to Gu.
