Chapter 2142 Weird Food

"Master, someone below sent a message saying that the second young master secretly entered Chengshui Country, but I don't know where he is now." Jian Qi said in a very low voice.

Bai Ruozhu was still thinking about her second brother just now, and she didn't expect him to come, but she was not surprised at all. Instead, she was frightened.

"What is he here for?" She didn't tell her family that she would go to Chengshui Country. She only said that she was going to find an expert who could solve the curse on her. It was not because her family members wrote to her second brother that she came to look for her. .

The second brother has an errand and shouldn't run around. Could it be that he has accepted the emperor's secret order?

Bai Ruozhu opened the door, called Jian Qi into the room, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any specific news?"

"The people below have found out so much. The second young master must have acted secretly and asked the people below to pretend to be him and his wife when they return to Beijing. If the second young master had not been surrounded by our secret guards, he would not have received such news. ." Jian Qi frowned as he spoke, "It's a pity that the secret guard was sent back to the capital, and the second young master only took a few people with him and left secretly."

"He brought his second sister-in-law with him?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"yes."

Bai Ruozhu frowned. She couldn't understand. What on earth did the second brother want to do?

She wanted to ask Zhou Shibin to inquire about her second brother, but she was afraid that her second brother was doing something secretly and she would do something bad out of kindness and put him in danger.

Besides, she wasn't very reassured about Zhou Shibin, a temporary ally. If the other party captured her second brother and blackmailed her, wouldn't it hurt the second brother and the others?

"Master, you don't have to worry too much, the second young master is different from the past." Jian Qi reminded in a low voice.

Bai Ruozhu was stunned. Yes, the second brother was no longer the weak scholar he once was, but he was her biological brother. Even if she knew he was very powerful, could she not be worried at all?

"Let's take a step to see first. If he goes to the capital, we can always meet him." Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and decided not to let anyone inquire. He even told Jian Qi and Yi Zi not to treat this person with anything. Tell the story.

They stayed in Youran for two days, and their spirits improved a lot, and then they set off and continued on their way.

"Let's meet in the capital then. When you get to the capital, go to Feiluan Pavilion to find me." Zhou Shibin also wanted to set off, but he would not go with Bai Ruozhu and the others.

"good."

Bai Ruozhu agreed, then took Dengdeng and Yizi into the carriage and continued on their way.

Now she has more to think about, finding Ah Chun, finding her second brother, and rescuing Tang Feng.

She is such a worry.

After that, the journey was peaceful. Eight days later, Bai Ruozhu and the others finally entered the capital city of Chengshui.

"This place is really different from Danliang." Yi Zi said with curiosity when he saw the small bridges in the city, the flowing water, and the pointed boats in the river.

"It's almost the same in Jiangnan. You girl just have less places to run." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

Yi Zi blushed, "My master always takes me to the northwest and other places, but I rarely come to the south. There are also rivers there at my home, but not as many as here."

"You will have something more curious to see later."

The carriage entered the market, and there were more and more people there. Bai Ruozhu had to get out of the car and walk, letting Jing Lei drive the carriage and find an inn to stop, and then come to look for them.

Little Dengdeng also had a strange look on her face, and said in a sweet voice: "Dad, what do you think that is for sale?"

Now that Bai Ruozhu is pretending to be a middle-aged businessman, Xiao Dengdeng naturally calls her "Dad". At first, he still calls her "daddy" wrongly, but later on, he calls her very smoothly and always with the slightest hint of joy.

At this time, Bai Ruozhu often wonders whether the child misses his father and wants his father to accompany him?

Everyone looked in the direction that Dengdeng pointed, and saw someone selling something dark, which seemed to smell quite fragrant.

"Let's go take a look." Yi Zi and Deng Deng held hands and walked over there. Jian Qi and Mu Yu also followed behind.

"Oh, don't look at it..." Bai Ruozhu had already guessed what it was by smelling it, but it was already too late to stop them.

When Yizi saw clearly what was being sold, she covered her mouth and ran to the side, ran to a tree and retched.

It was okay that Xiao Dengdeng was a boy, but he asked the boss with a confused look on his face: "Uncle, are these bugs?"

"This is called silkworm chrysalis. It's the most delicious and filling." The boss said with a smile, "You must have come from the north at first glance, right? It's normal to not be used to it. You'll get used to it after eating it. This thing doesn't look good. , it tastes delicious.”

As he said that, he was very enthusiastic and wanted to dig some for free for Dengdeng to try. Dengdeng dodged and ran away. His mother said not to eat randomly outside.

The boss scooped up a silkworm chrysalis and could only look at Mu Yu and Jian Qi. Jian Qi then dodged and ran away.

"Little brother, you can try it, it's free. This is the specialty of our place. Wouldn't it be a pity for you to come here and not try something new?" the boss said enthusiastically.

Mu Yu wanted to run, but his boss had already grabbed his arm. He couldn't hurt the civilians, so he could only ask Bai Ruozhu for help with a miserable look on his face.

"Xiao Mu, just try it. Why don't you follow the master and see the world?" Bai Ruozhu said with a smile, "The silkworm chrysalis is crispy, smooth and delicious. Just close your eyes and eat it."

Mu Yu is about to cry. Madam, did you really not do this on purpose? Are you my biological master?

Bai Ruozhu had a warm and steady smile on his face, like a kind middle-aged businessman, but the villain in his heart was already rolling on the floor with laughter.

In the end, Mu Yu couldn't help it, so she ate one with her eyes closed, biting it into pieces with a bang, and her bitter face slowly relaxed.

"Hey, it does smell good." He said happily, "Why don't you try it too?"

Yi Zi was already retching, but when she saw Mu Yu actually eating, she felt sick and started retching again.

"My little brother knows the goods, why don't you buy some?" The boss said and loaded it up for Mu Yu.

"Less, less, less." Mu Yu shouted, and finally bought a pack.

The corners of Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched. She really looked down on Mu Yu.

However, silkworm chrysalis is indeed delicious and high in protein. It depends on whether the person eating it can accept it.

On the way after that, everyone deliberately stayed away from Mu Yu, because the boss said that you should eat it while it's hot, and it won't taste good when it's cold. As a result, Mu Yu, a tease, didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and took the bag of silkworm chrysalises again. Inside, I ate deliciously while walking.

Yi Zi's legs were so frightened that he hid in the other side.

But later on, we saw a lot of weird things along the way, and everyone became much calmer.

"Dad, there are so many rare things in Chengshui Country. I wonder if there are any that are easy to trade." Yi Zi followed Bai Ruozhu's instructions, deliberately pretending to be a girl without any scheming, and said loudly in the busy market.

Bai Ruozhu smiled and nodded, "There are many business opportunities, but it will take a few days to see what is most suitable. It is best to ask someone who understands the local market."

After she finished speaking, she found that someone was paying attention to them.

I don’t know if any girls find it disgusting. In fact, I can’t eat it now. I tasted it when I was raising silkworms at home when I was a child. The fried ones tasted really good, but now I don’t dare to eat them.
