Chapter 693 Daily Sailing

Fortunately, we are finally on board.

Although the cabin is a bit smelly and dirty, no one recognizes me here.

Generally, no one will come to disturb you, so you can go into the space and have a good sleep.

Lu Qingqing gave Qin Lang a thorough wash as he hadn't changed his clothes for several days.

Then he took out some clean pajamas and changed them for him.

After finishing his work for Qin Lang, he took a nice bath.

I slept until noon and finally made up for the sleep I had missed in the past few days.

When I woke up, the dull headache finally stopped.

I looked up at Qin Lang beside me, who was still sleeping unconsciously.

He stood up and stretched his muscles, then put on the mask and left the space.

Even in the car with the door closed, there was a foul odor.

Lu Qingqing picked a few mint strips and stuffed them directly into the mask.

The refreshing scent of mint finally suppressed the stench temporarily.

She opened the carriage door and stood in the cabin, only to find that there were fewer people inside.

Even at the wealthy family next door, there was only a guard left to watch over the luggage.

The guard saw him come out and greeted him with a smile.

"Little brother, are you awake?

The kitchen on the boat is selling meals right now!

If you want to buy something, go quickly. If you’re late, there might not be anything left!”

Lu Qingqing responded in a rough voice:

"Thank you for the reminder, brother, but I brought some dry food."

The guard nodded, closed his eyes and rested, without saying anything more.

Lu Qingqing took feed and water from the partition under the cart.

Follow the path in the middle to the cabin to feed the mules.

When we walked to the back, we found that the people in the cabin were not all sleeping in the carriage.

Many families don’t even have a cart and just sleep on the ground.

And judging from the way these people are dressed, they don’t seem to be wealthy.

At this moment, many people were gnawing on dry multi-grain steamed bread.

Seeing her coming over, he stared at the bag in her hand for a few seconds.

Soon, Lu Qingqing arrived at the innermost livestock area.

When a group of livestock saw people, they all started to cry out.

Among them, the skinny mule she bought made her most excited.

While constantly lifting his hooves, he made hoarse "hmm--hmm--" sounds in excitement.

Lu Qingqing went over and poured out the feed from the cloth bag and added water to it.

Seeing it eating happily, I touched its head and went back to the carriage.

At this time, people who went out to buy food also came back one after another.

The wealthy man next to him came in and saw Lu Qingqing. He smiled and greeted her:

“Little brother is up.

Have you eaten yet? Come and have some together?"

Lu Qingqing waved her hand and refused.

The wealthy businessman nodded at her, then took the things back to the carriage and invited his family to dinner.

Lu Qingqing didn't stay outside for long. She crawled into the mosquito net and returned to the carriage.

After closing the carriage door, he slipped back into the space.

She was worried that something unusual might happen outside, so she left a trace of her thoughts outside.

After sleeping for a whole morning, she was not hungry at all.

He first fed Qin Lang some porridge, and then ate a little himself.

After clearing the dishes, we began our daily training.

Ever since Qin Lang's accident, she hasn't been training for a while.

I haven't exercised for a long time and my body feels a little stiff.

I first did a set of boxing to warm up, and then I started training my close combat skills after feeling my muscles and bones were stretched.

However, without Qin Lang as a sparring partner, nothing felt right during the practice.

Suppressing her emotions, she began to train in pistol shooting, archery and grenade throwing.

Of course, not throwing real grenades.

Instead, he found a brick of similar weight and tied it with cloth to about the same size.

Draw a line and place a few baskets in the open space in front of the line.

In this way, each throw is made from outside the line toward the basket in front of you.

After an hour, most of my energy was used up and my mood became calmer.

Seeing that there were not many cooked foods on the shelf, I decided to cook a few more dishes today.

I took a basket and went to the garden to pick some ripe cucumbers, tomatoes and lentils.

I pulled up two more potatoes and picked off the bunch of round potatoes the size of a palm at the roots.

Looking at the leeks growing very well, he took a kitchen knife and cut two large bundles of fresh leeks.

Finally, I pulled out more than a dozen peanuts and picked more than a dozen tender corns.

At this point, all the dishes for dinner are ready.

She poured scoops of clean water into the basin and began to wash the peanuts.

A quarter of an hour later, the corn and peanuts were already cooking in the pot.

Then put the cleaned leeks on the grate to drain the water.

This old-fashioned recipe has a strong chive flavor and is very delicious when used to make dumplings and buns.

Qin Lang used to love eating dumplings and could eat five or six plates of dumplings every time.

At that time, every time I made dumplings, I had to make leeks and eggs as the filling.

Lu Qingqing shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and started to get busy.

An hour later, the table next to the stove was filled with cooked dishes.

Cucumber with pork head, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stewed lentils with potatoes and pork belly, and cold shredded potatoes.

Next to it, there is a pot of spiced boiled peanuts and a pot of boiled tender corn.

In addition, there are more than a dozen plates of leek and egg dumplings on the side.

Lu Qingqing only kept two plates of dumplings and put the rest on the shelf.

He took another plate and put a little bit of each dish on it.

Carrying dumplings and dishes, he came to the small table beside the bed.

She ate while talking to Qin Lang.

By the time we finished our meal, it was already dark outside.

The trace of consciousness left outside noticed that most people were carrying their urine buckets out to pour them out.

I saw the guards of the rich family nearby also carrying two urine buckets out.

Lu Qingqing also picked up a urine bucket, thought about it, and poured some water into it.

She followed the crowd out with the urine bucket and found that people were pouring it into the river below from the railing.

When it was poured, the wind blew and the strong smell of urine and feces floated on the deck.

Fortunately, the boat is still moving forward.

The stench was quickly left behind.

After emptying the urine bucket, many people took the opportunity to stay on the deck for a while.

Just as Lu Qingqing was about to go back, she heard two people smoking and chatting next to her.

"The bottom of the ship stinks, especially the livestock in the back, which squeak and squeal at night.

Don't you know someone on the ship? Can't you find someone to move to a room upstairs?"

Another person said:

"Don't even think about it, the rooms on the upper floor have already been arranged.

I told you, don't tell anyone.

I heard that that group of people were going to the capital to pick up some important people.

At this moment, the top is actually empty!"

The man was surprised:

"Ah, since it's empty, why don't you sell it to us?

I've been traveling to the capital for so many years, and this is the first time I've sat in the bottom of the cabin. It's really hard for me!"

The other man took two puffs from his pipe and said:

"Don't even think about it, I heard the room on the upper floor is very clean.

Everything is ready, just waiting for you to move in.

If you sell it to us, the room will be soiled and the captain will not be able to explain it."

The man sighed and said:

“No wonder!

Alas, how can we small businessmen dare to confront officials head-on?

Forget it, I'd better just live in the bottom of the cabin!

But you didn't ask where we are now.

How far is it from the capital? I'll have an idea of ​​it!"
