The next morning, everyone woke up in the crisp sound of birds singing. Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion came back and many guests came, so it was very lively for a while.

Especially the Tianzun, Yin Hou and others are all old people who like to get up early and take Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang to do morning exercises.

In the yard, the laughter of the maids making the little Sizi came.

Zhan Zhao stretched his waist in the quilt, opened his eyes and rubbed his neck... He slept so full!

After pulling down a little quilt, Zhan Zhao looked not far away, Bai Yutang on the bed on the diagonal corner of the room inexplicably felt... a jujube smell in his mouth.

Bai Yutang also woke up, lay on the bed, looking at the top of the bed for some reason, and the morning light came through the window above him and shone on his side. Zhan Zhao hid in the quilt and said "tsk" twice, as if a fairy descended to earth...

Just as he was looking at him, Bai Yutang suddenly turned to look at him.

With a pair of eyes, Zhan Zhao immediately felt like he was full of dates. Didn’t he vomited clean yesterday?

Bai Yutang saw Zhan Zhao wrapped in a quilt, and his cat eyes were exposed outside, staring at him, as if he was just a cat who was waking up and was thinking about something.

Bai Yutang smiled, turned his face, and lay down at Zhan Zhao, "What are you going to eat in the morning?"

Zhan Zhao blinked and thought to himself, I won’t eat jujube cake anyway.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Bai Yutang asked, "Bai Fu told me yesterday that Bai Fu opened a morning tea shop diagonally opposite the door of Bai Mansion. The porridge was very delicious, and then the crystal shrimp dumplings and fish meat sauce were sold, which tasted better than Taibaiju's.

Sure enough, Zhan Zhao's cat eyes brightened.

Bai Yutang asked him with his side face, "If you want to eat, you have to get up, and if you want to lie, you will be hit with lunch."

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes - How could this hero be affected by a breakfast? But when he came to his senses, he had already gotten up and changed his clothes.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao who was energetic and suddenly had a thought, if he and Yichang Shaomai fell into the water at the same time, would the cat pick up Shaomai first or save him first?

"Change clothes quickly." Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang was still dazed, and came over to pull him while wiping his face.

Bai Yutang sat up, stared at Zhan Zhao while changing his clothes, thinking about the question just now... Who will this cat save first?

"Hey!" Zhan Zhao had already cleaned up and snapped his fingers in front of Bai Yutang, thinking to himself, why did this person become stupid?

"Ask you a question." Bai Yutang finally decided to ask clearly.

"Well..." Zhan Zhao was inexplicably a little cramped.

Bai Yutang wondered, why did Zhan Zhao blush? He hadn't asked yet, could he guess this?

"The weather is good today..." Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang and wanted to go out.

"I haven't worn shoes yet." Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao while wearing shoes, "Ask you a question."

Seeing that Zhan Zhao could not escape, he said, "Ask...I'll ask."

"I fell into the river with Yilan Shaoshe. Do you pick up Shaoshe first or save me first?" Bai Yutang asked and felt that he had something wrong with his brain.

Zhan Zhao blinked, then breathed a sigh of relief, "Ask this..."

"Or what do you think I'm asking?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"Hmm? That's all." Zhan Zhao reached out and patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder, "Of course I'll save you first!"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and Zhan Zhao didn't struggle at all. This was really unexpected... He felt relieved inexplicably. He was overjoyed for winning a stolen sale for himself. When he thought about it, it was really funny.

Just as he was happy, Zhan Zhao got a wet handkerchief and wiped Bai Yutang's face. He smiled, "Is the cage made of wood? It will float up, you are different. The white mouse is a weight, and it will sink if it gets touched with water, ha."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao who stretched out and went out with a refreshed look, rubbing his eyebrows - this cat was lazy, greedy, dull and slow...

As soon as he left the room, Xiao Sizi rushed over with a snack and hugged Zhan Zhao's legs, "Morning Cat."

"Year-time, little fourth son." Zhan Zhao reached out to pick him up. Seeing him holding a piece of jujube cake, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth - who did this!

"I ate it so sweet early in the morning." Zhan Zhao pinched Xiao Sizi's cheeks.

"I'll eat half of it, leave half for Xiao Liangzi to eat, and then I'll eat two more soup buns." Xiao Sizi said, waving to Bai Yutang who was walking out from behind, "Bai Bai Zao."

Bai Yutang nodded, reached out and touched his head, and looked at the date cake in his hand.

"Would you like?" Xiao Sizi handed the date cake to Bai Yutang's mouth.

Bai Yutang stared at Zao Nicai for a long time, and then he heard Xiao Sizi say, "Eat it, there is no kernel!"

Bai Yutang looked at Xiao Sizi awkwardly, Zhan Zhao was surprised - is Xiao Sizi teasing Bai Yutang? The little guy looked pure and could not tell.

However, Bai Yutang still bit the jujube cake in Xiao Sizi's hand by mistake, and then hooked his fingers at Zhan Zhao, which meant that - let's go.

Xiao Sizi looked at the missing piece on the jujube cake and asked Zhan Zhao curiously, "Don't Bai Bai like to eat sweet food?"

As he was asking, Zhan Zhao bit off the other half with a "ah woo".

The little four son blinked.

"Yutang and I went out for breakfast, are you going?" Zhan Zhao asked Xiao Sizi, "Saimi and Crystal Dumplings."

Xiao Sizi raised her face and thought, "I won't go anymore. I want to read books in the morning, Xiao Liangzi needs to practice martial arts. In the afternoon, we will go to the theater with Zunzun and Yin, and the aunts to listen to the opera."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows and found that his grandfather Tianzun and the others were going to watch the show today, so he put the little Sizi on the ground, rubbed his head, and followed Bai Yutang out.

The little Sizi scratched her head and looked at the jujube cake again - she wanted to eat two more soup buns!

...

Zhan Zhao was chewing the date paste cake in his mouth, thinking it was so sweet, who put so much date paste!

The Bai Mansion is not far from Kaifeng Mansion. The morning teahouse is quite large, newly opened and business is booming.

When Bai Yutang entered the door, a friend came out, "How many guests? Do you drink porridge or eat noodles? Sauce or steamed dumplings?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao behind him.

"Two." Zhan Zhao ran in. Before he could speak, he heard someone shouting, "Oh! Lord Zhan, distinguished guest!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed the reputation and saw a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper and greeted him.

Zhan Zhao took a look and recognized it, "Oh... No wonder the sauce is so delicious. It turns out to be the shop of Boss Fish!"

Zhan Zhao introduced to Bai Yutang that the middle-aged man was named Yu Xiong, known as the fish boss, and also had a younger brother named Yu Yue. Both brothers were very popular and delicious fish! The eldest brother had a very good water quality. There was a fleet specializing in fishing fishing. The second brother had the first-class cooking skills and could cook various fish delicacies. The hundred-fish banquet he made also went to the palace. The emperor used it to greet visitors from the Western Regions, so that those northwest guests who did not eat fish all year round would be praised.

Bai Yutang really admires Zhan Zhao. Not only know the chef and the grocery shopping, but also the fish-catching people. It’s really... the highest level of foodies.

"The second child is in the kitchen?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously, "Is this your business?"

"Yes!" Yu Xiong nodded and invited the two of them up, "My wife just gave birth to a son, and my sister-in-law has also had her, so we settled in Kaifeng. The fish were caught by our own home, fresh! We both stopped going to sea and focused on this business."

"Congratulations!" Zhan Zhao heard that it was such a great thing, and repeatedly patted Yu Xiong on the shoulder.

Yu Xiong told the clerk, "Go to the kitchen and tell my brother that Lord Zhan is here, he knows what to do!"

"Okay." The guy ran away happily.

Zhan Zhao also introduced the Baiyutang to Yu Xiong. When Yu Xiong heard that this was the famous Baiyutang, and it was diagonally opposite the door, so he quickly saw it.

Bai Yutang said a few words of politeness, asking him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him if he needed help or someone was making trouble, and he shouted at the opposite door.

Yu Xiong was naturally very happy and served tea himself.

Zhan Zhao and the others sat by the window table on the second floor. Yu Xiong poured tea and asked, "Sir Zhan, you are here just in time. I have something to ask you."

Zhan Zhao was drinking tea and wanted to smelt the jujube mud in his mouth. When he heard Yu Xiong's words, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Well..." Yu Xiong found a chair and sat down, "I'm here to settle in Kaifeng. Are there any rules in Kaifeng? You are not allowed to go to the north gate early in the morning?"

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and Zhan Zhao was also stunned, "Ah? How early is it early in the morning?"

"About Mao hour, we get up early in the morning tea business. The fresh fish will be delivered from the city at Mao hour. It will be steamed within an hour before opening the door for business. However, my brothers said that they pushed the fish through the north city gate at Mao hour but couldn't walk in. It was said that the emperor ordered the city gate to be closed, and several soldiers were blocking it with vicious spirits."

Zhan Zhao wondered, I had never heard of such an imperial destiny! There is the largest official road in front of the North City Gate. The shops like to go to the North Gate when buying and selling goods, ranging from stone, wood, small knives, rice, oil and salt. Most of them walk to the North City Gate before dawn, so the North Gate is basically not closed... Could it be that Fang Ba had stationed troops before, so the door was closed?

"Did your carriage be stopped by the officers and soldiers at the city gate?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Isn't this? It's about five miles away from the city gate. There is a fork in the west gate that can turn the west gate." Yu Xiong was helpless. "If you go to the west gate, you have to go back and forth. My brothers ran around like a life-losing thing every morning before they had time to open... It's really inconvenient. I thought Kaifeng was always like this, but there were a few local business complaints, saying that Fang Ba was unreasonable, and the city gate was blocked. That's what it meant, could it be opened in a while?"

Zhan Zhao frowned and thought, "Didn't this city gate be sealed all the time, right?"

"No, it will open as soon as it dawns, and it will be closed for about an hour." As Yu Xiong spoke, the guy was already coming up with a hot breakfast.

"Don't worry, I'll go and inquire." Zhan Zhao said.

"That's really a laborious Lord Zhan." Yu Xiong personally brought the porridge and snacks to the table, and did not disturb Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang for dinner, and went down to continue to organize business.

"Or the entire city gate would be sealed, or the gender would be sealed alone, and the hour would be sealed alone. What's the picture?" Zhan Zhao said to himself, stuffing it into his mouth and his eyes became brighter.

"I think the suspicious thing is that the army is waiting at the fork. There is no way to see the city gate, and turning the road from the city gate is closer than walking from the fork." Bai Yutang also ate a sauce and thought it tasted really good, so he took another sip of porridge.

But he said it but couldn't hear Zhan Zhao's response. He looked up and Bai Yutang stopped talking. He picked up a steamed dumpling and decided to have a good meal.

At this time, Zhan Zhao was chewing the happy form of Shaomai - Sure enough, the fish made by Shaomai must be fresh! The shrimp balls are so big! The shrimp and crab roe in the steamed dumplings are really great!

Bai Yutang didn’t know if it was influenced by Zhan Zhao, or was more appetizing today. He rarely drank a bowl of porridge and ate two steamed dumplings and one shrimp ball. If the Tianzun was probably moved at this moment, Bai Yutang would have eaten breakfast obediently, so he might not even remember to eat breakfast.

After the two left the teahouse, they went straight to the North City Gate. At this moment, the North City Gate was very lively, and there were many people coming in and out. There were a total of sixteen soldiers up and down the city tower. Now it is not in wartime, and the city gate manager does not stand on the gate tower and look at the beacon tower, but more of them checking in and out of the people and goods.

Several door officials were holding a stack of emperor lists and stood at the door to face the pedestrians who were entering and leaving, but they did not stop them. When they encountered some wanted criminals, they went up to compare the emperor list. If the other party could prove that they were not, they would let them go. The goods went in another row, and there were more than ten soldiers and generals to check, probably just to see if there were any dirty silver or prohibited things, such as more than a lot of tincture oil, sulfur, or Xiaoyao San, Wangyou San and so on.

Zhan Zhao found the leader of the team of guarding the city today and stepped forward to talk.

The city gate official was Wei Xing. When he saw that Zhan Zhao was coming, he quickly agreed. But after hearing Zhan Zhao's inquiry, Wei Xing also wondered, "No."

"There is no lockdown?" Zhan Zhao asked.
