Chapter 208 The Good Life in the Imperial City
He released three cubs with a wave of his hand, raised his index finger to his lips, and spoke softly.
“No one is allowed to make a sound, or they will be arrested if they are discovered.
This is the imperial city, and there are many powerful people here.
We can't afford to offend, but we can always avoid them."
The three of them nodded obediently and followed quietly into the main house.
As soon as Lin Shu sat down, Baozi and Heizi stuck close to her.
In the cold house, a feeling of warmth suddenly came over me.
Lin Shu held one in each hand and another on her shoulder, and whispered.
"Baozi, tell me what's going on."
'Master, I was scouting around the inn and found some interesting things.
I taught the maid a lesson before taking her purse.'
'Oh, what fun stuff.'
'The maid climbed onto her master's bed and was discovered by the wet rat.
Of course I have to get something to compensate for it.'
Baozi took a humane look inside the room and spoke in a low voice.
"There are five foreigners in the inn, the same as the northern barbarians we met on the road."
"Foreigners are not uncommon in the imperial city. Even if they are northern barbarians with ulterior motives, no one will believe us."
Lin Shu shook her head. She didn't expect the Northern Barbarians to infiltrate so quickly.
I'm afraid they are in collusion with some force in the Imperial City!
Forget it, this is not something she can control.
Lin Shu believed that officials in high positions should be able to see further than her.
"Fortunately, we left the inn early." Lin Shu said thankfully.
It doesn't matter if you say she is selfish or cold-blooded.
She doesn't want to be imprisoned. Freedom is so wonderful.
"Okay, let's get to work."
After learning the truth of the matter, Lin Shu mobilized her friends to join in the cleaning.
When Lin Hongyi came back from shopping, the house had already been cleaned and was just waiting for firewood to heat the kang.
Furniture, bedding, daily necessities, grain, oil, rice, flour and firewood were stored in the yard.
After Lin Hongyi paid the money, he sent the delivery man away and turned around to close the gate.
The three hiding in the main house looked around furtively.
Three heads appeared, and Lin Hongyi took a step back in fear.
He instantly smiled and rushed towards the three with open arms.
"When did you come back, ha~"
The person who opened his mouth to laugh out loud suddenly braked, and the sound got stuck in his throat and he made a gurgling sound.
His facial features were distorted for a while before he calmed down his inner excitement.
Lin Hongyi saw that his little sister and the three children were covered in dust, and thinking about the clean house, there was nothing he didn't understand.
“Thank you for your hard work.
I will go and make you something delicious.”
Lin Shu was very satisfied with her brother's performance just now and nodded.
"Bear meat stew needs a pot this big."
Lin Shu opened her arms and made a big circle.
Mixed in with the refugees, you have to avoid the crowd if you want to get something to eat.
There are very few opportunities to eat cornmeal, let alone meat.
Those refugees have sharper noses than dogs and can smell the odor even of leftover meat.
Not only is stewing meat time-consuming, but the sizzling taste is also incredible.
The refugees could smell the smell from ten days ago.
Lin Shu hasn't eaten grilled bear meat for a long time.
The taste is fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, she dreams of eating it.
Living alone in the bustling imperial city, you can eat whatever you want.
Of course, you have to try all the delicious food and then store some ordinary food.
...
The food is abundant, and Lin Hongyi, who has received special care, is here.
Lin Shu only needed to move her mouth and even her right to light a fire was taken away.
Half an hour later, the charming aroma of meat wafted from the small courtyard with the gate tightly closed.
The neighbor who was eating with his bowl suddenly felt that the old hen soup on his table was no longer fragrant.
Pedestrians passing by in the alley couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Be intoxicated by this charming fragrance and slow down your hurried pace.
Just to smell the fragrance more.
Inside the house, the two brothers were eating heartily without even raising their heads.
The rare white rice, accompanied by a spoonful of braised soup and a bite of soft and glutinous bear meat.
It felt like soaring to heaven.
The three little ones also sat in a row, burying their heads in their food bowls.
Especially Heizi, it was his first time to eat cooked food.
The taste is weird but I can't bear to give it up, a tiger face is tangled into a ball.
Seeing the two little friends eating happily, he simply closed his eyes and chewed with big mouthfuls.
After a few mouthfuls, it tasted pretty good.
In order to take special care of the three little ones, their bear meat was boiled in blood water.
The surface looks like cooked food, but the inside is raw meat with blood.
It was the first time that Heizi ate medium-rare bear meat, so of course he felt it was weird.
After finishing a pot of meat, I still felt a little unsatisfied.
In the prosperous imperial city, many people still go hungry secretly.
There are also many people who can feed their pets a large bowl of meat.
Lin Shu did not feel guilty about this action. As the saying goes, one can only accomplish things according to one's ability.
Everything she eats and uses is earned through her hard work, so there is no need to feel guilty about it.
...
As night fell, the imperial city under curfew gradually fell into sleep.
A spotted rat climbed up the beam and disappeared from Lin Shu's sight.
Baozi, dressed in black, insisted on changing into a black jacket and slipped out of the stable hole.
Heizi stayed behind to look after the house and protect the safety of the two young masters.
During the day, the two brothers wore different fur coats every day and went in and out of various restaurants and teahouses.
Eat delicious food and listen to gossip.
Then buy some snacks and famous delicacies.
The imperial city, where power is concentrated, gathers specialty goods from all over the country.
Of course, the price is also very beautiful.
The two brothers squeezed out of a fur shop and couldn't help but be tempted by the tempting prices.
After returning home, Lin Shu took out the fur in the space.
Sheepskin, white fox skin, red fox skin, gray fox skin, mink skin, bear skin, deer skin, gray squirrel skin, snow rabbit skin, wolf skin.
There are also deer antlers and bear gallbladders. I picked out the two best quality bear gallbladders for my own use.
Lin Shu rolled over in the fur pile and smiled brightly.
"Brother, you can make some money by selling these things."
"Well, I didn't expect the price in the Imperial City to be so high."
Lin Hongyi agreed immediately, and he was also amazed by the price he found out.
The more beautiful the leather is in the imperial city, the higher its value.
For example, a complete white fox skin can be sold for five hundred taels.
The rare red fox skin can be sold for more than eight hundred taels.
The most common sheepskin could be sold for five taels of silver.
A kang full of furs would have to sell for at least six or seven thousand taels.
The next day.
Lin Shu drew the news brought back by the two pets on a drawing.
It was a thin booklet filled with the information that the two had obtained.
Every time Lin Shu looked at it, she felt that countless gold, silver and jewels were waving at her.
My mood is getting better and better. I only need the best opportunity to make a big splash.
In her dream, she watched Lin Hongyi take the samples and go out to look for sellers.
This time, Lin Shu did not go along, the purpose was to train Lin Hongyi.
After all, a little fur can be afforded to be lost.
People who have nothing to do let the three of them watch the house outside and they go into the space to prepare food for the journey.
Electric rice cookers, pressure cookers, and large iron pots are all used to simmer, boil, stew, and roast.
Cut the bear meat into palm-sized pieces, marinate it for a while, and then fry it on an iron plate.
