Yuan Qiu said: "This thing is expensive. Children of ordinary families cannot afford it, and it cannot take much business from drug stores."
Zimo shrugged: "Yes, not everyone in Xiliang can afford medicated meals. In the capital, there are very few medicated meals restaurants. The cooks who can make medicated meals are not in the palace, but in the mansions of princes and nobles. Generally speaking, I can’t afford to pay for it in a restaurant, and I have eaten herbal food several times, which more or less retains some of the bitterness or astringency of the medicinal materials. I have never tasted such delicious food made from medicinal food.”
Yuan Hao also put down his bowl. After listening to Zimo's words, his eyes immediately lit up. He came forward and said, "Brother Zimo, have you been to the capital? What does the capital look like?"
Zimo followed Yuan Qiu's example and rubbed the top of Yuan Hao's hair, and said with a smile: "The capital is crowded and lively, the place is relatively big, and there is nothing unusual about it. What? Do you want to go to the capital?"
Yuan Hao nodded quickly and said with a grin: "I want to go. I heard people talk about the capital in the past, saying that it is an extremely prosperous place with endless food and fun. If I can go there once, I can also do it in front of Xiaopang and the others. Show off, you say so."
Yuan Qiu stretched out his finger and tapped Yuan Hao's forehead, and said with a smile: "You are really a child at heart. Is your life in the capital really easy? Not to mention being noisy all day long, making money is difficult, spending money is easy, and the house prices are extremely expensive. Although in this city At the feet of the emperor, life may not be as easy as that of a small town far away like ours. If the prince seizes the throne for his own right, the life of the common people will be even more miserable."
Zimo raised his eyebrows, looked at Yuan Qiu with a deeper look, and raised his lips and said, "You know a lot, have you been to the capital? Or have you heard anyone talk about the situation in the capital?"
Yuan Qiu heard that his words were slightly cold, and knew that he was suspicious of her, so he quickly defended: "I have never been to the capital, but I heard Mr. Shu said this. To tell you the truth, I don't even know the surname of the current emperor. No one knows the name, so what’s the situation?”
"You don't know the country's surname?" Zimo looked suspicious. Yuan Qiu didn't want to be an ordinary country girl. In his opinion, even the daughter of a prominent family in the capital might not be as good as her. She said she didn't know the country's surname. He Do not believe.
Yuan Qiu spread his hands: "We were born in this poor ravine. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. We work in the mountains and fields all day long. When the government changes or whether the country's name is changed, no one will deliberately inform us, and we will not Concern, occasionally the imperial list is posted, but how many people in the village are literate? Even if it is posted, it means it is not posted."
Zimo was silent for a moment. Yuan Qiu was right. In a remote village like Xipo Village, everyone's life is a problem. Who has the energy to care about national affairs? It is more practical to care about national affairs than to care about what to eat next.
"Sorry, I was too worried." He apologized readily, not hiding the suspicion he had just had towards her.
Yuan Qiu shrugged and said calmly: "It's okay, I don't care. We just meet by chance. No one knows anyone else's background. It's natural to have doubts in your heart. There is no need to apologize."
Although he got Yuan Qiu's forgiveness, Zimo felt unhappy, but he didn't understand the reason for this unhappiness.
Yuan Qiu took the bowl to the kitchen to clean it. Yuan Hao stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Zimo, can you tell me about the capital?"
Zimo smiled and said, "Tell me what's good. If you have a chance in the future, I'll take you to the capital to play. How about that?"
