November in the 34th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.

At dawn, it started snowing in Zishui County, Xi'an Prefecture, Qin Province, and it was snowing heavily in Bailu Town. Looking around, there were white snowflakes everywhere, covering the tender green wheat seedlings that emerged from the fields and covering the bare mountains and valleys.

Bai Gui tried his best to cover the torn fur. There was a layer of rubbing on the dirty ones. He smelled a sour smell and tried not to let the heat at the collar be blown away by the cold wind.

The howling north wind blew.

Although he was covered with a felt hat, his head was still so cold that it was so cold.

He was carrying a string of mountain goods and a string of hemp ropes.

I saw four rabbits and two pheasants, all of which had just been slaughtered, and blood was flowing along the fur and jumping around from time to time. However, when Bai Gui walked to the restaurant in the town, the rabbit was frozen all over.

The pheasant is all white and is bigger than the usual domestic chickens.

"Oh! Xiao Guizi, are you going to the mountain to get mountain goods again? You probably have all the hares on the mountain?" Manager Wang from the restaurant sat behind the counter, making plans and keeping the account book. Hearing the sound from the door, looking up, and then jokingly said.

"Isn't this all good luck? Not long after entering the mountains, these stupid rabbits got into the rope trap and strangled themselves to death. Ugh, thinking that they had to bleed first, otherwise the rabbit meat would be unable to be eaten..."

"These two pheasants are even more stupid and hit the tree directly."

Bai Gui scratched his head, smiled honestly, and casually explained the reason why all these mountain goods were cut off their throats.

He walked into the restaurant for two or three steps, and the restaurant's servant stopped him quietly and blocked him outside the door.

Bai Gui frowned and didn't say much.

Although this Wangji Restaurant only has two yards, the hall in front serves as a canteen and the kitchen behind is not a legendary private room, and it is all dine-in.

But it is also a unique restaurant in the barren countryside.

The diners sitting inside were all wearing long-sleeved satin shirts, wearing white cotton jackets, and melon-skin hats.

When he goes in, it will probably affect his business.

The hot coal stove was burning, with mutton soup simmering on it, and the smell of mutton mixed with the aroma of meat rushed into people's nose.

Bai Gui listened to them talking in detail. Although he was in the countryside, there might be diners who had spare money to go to the restaurant, but they were not idle. They were all gentry in the town, some were landlords and old money, some were scholars and ministers.

"Hey! Have you heard of it? Juren from General Village exchanged a concubine for seven dou of wheat."

"That concubine is only thirteen years old."

"What's the use of talking about these things? I followed my cousin from Yanjing's business and returned from a long-distance business. The Queen Mother Cixi negotiated with Roosevelt of Amei and Ken Kingdom through photo diplomacy, and returned more than 10 million yuan in Boxer's indemnity!"

"More than ten million knives, why don't you kill someone? The boxers are not so cruel!"

"Knife! It is the currency of Ameikan Country, and it is called dollar in English!"

"Ameikan must be using the language of Ameikan. Why do you use English again? Nonsense! You are talking nonsense!"

"I heard that the Queen Mother Cixi was seriously ill, in her seventies, and it seemed that she was about to die..."

"Be careful of your words! Be careful of your words!"

"But Guangxu is an unknown person. Two years ago, he and the new parties wanted to abolish the imperial examination. This was a disruption to the foundation of our Qing Dynasty and the law of our ancestors! This imperial examination has been more than a thousand years... Fortunately, the Queen Mother of Citizens turned the tide and did not let this group of new parties succeed..."
