Mrs. Chen said hurriedly: "Uncle Ma, you can't drink this raw water. You will have diarrhea if you drink it."
Uncle Ma smiled and said, "It's okay. I run out all the time and I'm used to it."
After filling the water, Then he continued walking forward.
Because they were delayed for half an hour on the road, it was already dark before their group arrived at the small town.
Every house in the town was closed, and only one inn had its lights on.
Everyone drove over, and there were several young men standing at the door of the yard.
Several people looked at their convoy, "A hotel stay?"
Gu Zhang nodded quickly, "Is there any room for a hotel?"
A few people stepped aside, "Come in, there is still room."
Everyone drove the mule cart in, I saw several carriages parked in the yard, and there were many horses in the stables.
There were two empty carriages, and their loads must have been unloaded.
There are also two carriages, a green oil carriage and a Babao Yingluo carriage.
Gu Fei often sees cars like this in Hou Mansion.
However, at this moment, all the pearls and jade decorations that should have been on the Yingluo carriage were gone, and only the carriage curtain made of brocade was glowing faintly at night.
There are noble people in this inn.
Gu Fei and Lanzhi exchanged a look, and both of them understood that the status of a person who could ride in such a car was extraordinary.
The Babao Yingluo Car can only be ridden by high-class wives.
Everyone unloaded the carts and led the mules to eat fodder.
Gu Fei followed Gu Zhang into the inn door.
There were three tables of guests sitting in the lobby.
At one table were a beautiful middle-aged woman and a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old wearing blue brocade clothes. There were several maids standing nearby waiting on him.
The other two tables were occupied by eight guards in black.
Gu Fei only glanced at it and quickly looked away.
Lanzhi touched her arm and whispered, "It's the county governor's wife."
Last year, the prince of the Hou family got married, and this lady attended the wedding banquet.
Gu Fei said "Yeah" in a low voice. No matter who this lady was, she had nothing to do with them.
The village chief stepped forward and asked the shopkeeper directly: "How much does it cost for a night in Tongpu?"
The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and said, "Fifty cents per person." He glanced at the grandson Yam Yao beside the village chief, "Half for children."
The village chief said He was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he heard wrongly, "Fifty cents? I used to live in Tongbu for only twenty cents!"
The shopkeeper smiled, "Brother, these days, there is no tomorrow, so the price is naturally one cent a day. So."
He pouted, "When you came in, you saw those people standing at the entrance of the courtyard. They are all hired by me. It costs a lot of money a day. How can you do it without raising the price?"
The village chief was confused . He asked, "Why hire those people?"
The shopkeeper spread his hands and said, "There is nothing I can do. If I don't hire people to stand at the door, the refugees will not be able to drive away. They all want to come and beg for food and drink. My business will not be able to do that." There's nothing we can do."
He sighed, "I don't know, I won't be able to do this business for a few more days. Let's take it one day at a time."
The village chief was reluctant to pay and stood back hesitantly.
Gu Fei took out a piece of broken silver and said, "We live in Tongbu, there are ten adults and one child, four bundles of fodder and six buckets of water. How much do you think it will cost?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Gu Fei, the abacus clicked, and said with a smile. , "My dear girl, let me calculate it for you. Accommodation is five hundred and twenty-five cents, four bundles of fodder are eighty cents, and six buckets of water are nine hundred cents. The total is one or two and a half silver coins and five copper coins."
"Let's do this . , I'll give you five copper coins, just give me one or two and a half silver coins."
Gu Fei shook his head, the accommodation fee has increased, and the water price has also increased, so he has no choice but to stay.
She put the silver on the counter, "Here are two taels of silver, please weigh it."
