The water used to cook the noodles was brought from the capital on horse-drawn carriages.

Jiangnan is still an epidemic area of ​​schistosomiasis. Li Xiao is very afraid of that disease.

Seemingly seeing through Li Xiao's thoughts, Li Hao shook his head and said: "Over the years, I have been promoting drinking boiled water in Jiangnan. Now people in the city have become accustomed to drinking boiled water.

It's still a bit difficult in the countryside, after all, I can't send people to every house to watch."

"Some things have to be done slowly. There is nothing you can do about it. Let's eat some noodles. We have to rush to Suzhou today. Look at the Su embroidery and silk you mentioned. These are the only two things Suzhou can offer at the moment."

"The beauties from the south of the Yangtze River are also good!" Li Hao looked at his elder brother with a smile.

"You kid, you don't know we don't have much time. It's important to do business!" Li Xiao scolded Li Hao with a righteous look.

He quickly looked around and saw that there was no one around him: "Is there really a beautiful woman?"

"Really! The beauty from Suzhou and Hangzhou is called a water spirit. Hold a handful of water!" Li Hao looked at his elder brother quite proudly.

"You kid pinched me hard enough...!"

"Well……!"

In these days, there are no big trucks emitting light blue exhaust. There are no unscrupulous people driving fast cars. The air is surprisingly fresh, and there is no dust on both sides of the road.

After washing up, the two brothers squatted on the west side of the road and ate noodles.

The sound of more than 20 people eating noodles together was really majestic. Several people with farm tools on their shoulders passed by and looked sideways, seeing merchants eating on the roadside.

You can cook noodles on a stove on the roadside, and this is the only one who eats them.

"Fellow! How far is it from here to Suzhou?" Li Xiao smiled and greeted the farmers.

"&#%＊¨...!" The farmer replied in standard Wu Nong soft language, but Li Xiao didn't understand a word.

Alas...! There is still a long way to go to promote Mandarin.

There was no way, what the people here said was another language to Li Xiao. He turned to look at Li Hao doubtfully. This kid had been in Jiangnan for a long time, so he should be able to understand Wu Nong's soft language.

"He said he would arrive after Yushan Town." Seeing his elder brother's embarrassed look, Li Hao could only act as a translator.

"Yushan Town! Let's go to Yushan Town ahead. I heard that this small town in the south of the Yangtze River is quite beautiful."

"I've been to that town. It's just an ordinary town. The rice wine there is pretty good!"

"Okay, let's go ahead and drink some rice wine."

After finishing the noodles, the two brothers got into the carriage and continued on their way.

Passing a village ahead, Li Xiao asked the carriage to stop. He was going to stroll over and see what the village looked like.

This is a standard small village in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the houses are thatched houses. There is a courtyard with a brick house, which is probably the house of the landlord.

When Li Xiao walked into the village, he saw several naked children running wildly.

The older children drove a group of ducks into the pond. Seeing a group of ducks entering the water, several half-grown children also entered the pond and splashed around.

"Brother, what do you think these children are doing?" Li Hao looked at Li Xiao with a smile.

"What are you doing?" This was the first time Li Xiao saw a human swimming with a duck. From a physiological structure, humans cannot swim as well as a duck.

"You'll know it just by looking at it."

I saw a few half-grown lads diving their heads into the water to prick them from time to time.

These half-year-olds are so good at water that they can actually stay in the water for five or six minutes. Several times, Li Xiao even wanted to ask people to fish them out.

A child popped his head out of the water and chattered something.

Li Xiao saw that this boy was actually holding a duck egg in his hand.

"Ducks sometimes pull duck eggs into the water. These children will go into the water and fish out the duck eggs."
