I trade in both worlds
Chapter 296 Arrival in Dingzhou
After Feng Jie left, Xu Xu came to the modern era. Xu Xu couldn't wait to start searching the Internet for pictures and making tutorials of rabbit dolls.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that the world of rabbit dolls was so colorful, and the various shapes and styles dazzled her.
Xu Xu flipped through the pictures one by one, and finally, her eyes were fixed on a special doll - the doll of Usagi Yamuka carrying a Yuanbao shoulder bag.
The design of the doll is both interesting and fashionable. The rabbit has a round and plump body, and its two long ears droop slightly, making it look cute.
The small Yuanbao shoulder bag it carries adds a bit of fun and fashion to the entire doll.
Xu Xu carefully studied the appearance and size of the doll and had a clear plan in mind.
The large rabbit doll is about two feet four inches tall, a size that doesn’t appear too large while still fully displaying the doll’s cuteness and details.
The medium-sized doll is about one foot and five inches tall and is suitable as a desktop decoration or a gift for children.
The small version is only about four inches, small and exquisite, and can be hung on a key chain or used as a mobile phone charm.
In the following days, Xu Xu devoted himself to making the doll.
She carefully selected the fabric that matched the color of the rabbit's fur. It was a soft velvet that felt great to the touch, and the color was bright and not easy to fade.
Then, she began to cut the cloth, cutting each piece precisely according to the shape and size of the doll, without any hesitation.
The sewing process is a test of patience and craftsmanship. Xu Xu sews stitch by stitch, striving to make each stitch smooth and even.
Stuffing is one of the important steps in making dolls.
Xu Xu chose soft cotton so that the doll would feel more comfortable and textured.
She carefully stuffed cotton into the doll's body and limbs, constantly adjusting the shape and proportions until the doll looked plump and lively.
Finally, Xu Xu also gave the doll a pair of bright big eyes and a smiling mouth, making it look more cute and friendly.
Xu Xu planned to go find Sister Feng once he finished making these dolls.
At this time, on the road from the capital to Youzhou, dust was flying, and the wheels made a "squeaking" sound on the gravel road, intertwined with the panting of the horses. A huge convoy was moving slowly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The convoy consisted of fifty-four carts, loaded with all kinds of second-hand furniture, ranging from carved beds to antique desks.
The rumbling of wheels and the sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by the shouts of the escorts, formed a vivid picture of travel.
However, due to the heavy wooden products and the bumpy roads, the team's progress was far slower than expected. The journey that was originally expected to take six or seven days was dragged out to ten days before they barely arrived in Dingzhou.
As night falls, the lights in Dingzhou gradually light up. On both sides of the street, the cries of vendors and the laughter of passers-by are intertwined, making the street very lively.
Xu Ziqi sat in front of the carriage, his hands lightly placed on his knees, his eyes looking through the bustling crowd at the hazy night in the distance, but his eyes could not hide a trace of fatigue and worry.
"Captain Guo, at this speed, how many days will it take us to reach Youzhou?" Xu Ziqi's voice was a little hoarse, and it was obvious that his voice was affected by the days of running around.
Upon hearing this, Guo Yunfeng tightened the reins in his hands and glanced around sharply.
He replied calmly, "It will take at least three days. The road is long and mostly mountainous, so we have to be cautious. Master Xu, don't be too anxious. Now that we are out, we should take every step with peace of mind."
Xu Ziqi nodded when he heard this, his brows becoming more solemn. He was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing something.
Finally, he suggested: "Guo Biaotou, I see that everyone is tired. The days of running around have made everyone exhausted both physically and mentally. Why don't we rest in Dingzhou for a day, let everyone have a good rest, and then set off again?"
Guo Yunfeng looked up at the sky, then looked at the exhausted escorts behind him, and nodded: "Alright, after days of traveling, both the men and the horses are tired, so this is a good opportunity to adjust. Let the brothers have a good sleep tomorrow and get enough rest, and we will continue the journey the day after tomorrow."
"Besides, Dingzhou is a prosperous place, and it is convenient to resupply materials. It is also a good choice for us."
Led by Guo Yunfeng, the convoy slowly stopped in front of an inn called Ke Huanlai.
This inn has almost become a second home for the escorts who travel around the world all year round.
Every time they passed by Dingzhou, they would always choose to stop here.
Shopkeeper Liu, a shrewd and capable middle-aged man, came out to greet us. He had a plump figure and a warm smile on his face.
When he saw Guo Yunfeng and the others, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically: "Hey, isn't this Guo Escort from Hongbang Escort Agency? Did you receive another big order today?"
"Look at this scene, it's really powerful." Shopkeeper Liu's words were full of flattery and familiarity.
Guo Yunfeng laughed, dusted himself off, and said generously, "Manager Liu, you're welcome. This is indeed a big order, but it's also thanks to the concerted efforts of our brothers."
"We have six large bunk beds and a warehouse to store the goods. I'd like to trouble you to arrange them. And please prepare some good wine and food for us. We brothers are all craving for it."
Shopkeeper Liu nodded repeatedly, smiling even more brightly: "Don't worry, I will make sure that everyone will have a satisfying meal and a comfortable stay. I will arrange it right away."
After saying that, he turned around and told the waiter to prepare the room and food.
Guo Yunfeng led the escorts to move the goods to the warehouse for storage, and drove the horses to the stables.
After everyone returned to their rooms and washed up, they sat in the lobby of the inn, waiting for the food to be served.
The lobby of the inn was brightly lit and bustling with people. Xu Ziqi sat in a corner, observing everything silently. He saw the escorts sitting or standing, some rubbing their sore shoulders, and some talking in low voices.
Days of running around made each of them look exhausted, but their eyes revealed a kind of tenacity and indomitable spirit.
Guo Yunfeng saw Xu Ziqi sitting alone in the corner. He paused and walked towards Xu Ziqi, breaking his thoughts.
At this time, Manager Liu came over in person with a pot of hot tea, looking a little solemn.
"Boss Guo, where are you going this time?" Manager Liu asked as he poured tea, a hint of concern inadvertently revealed in his tone.
Guo Yunfeng took the teacup and blew gently. The tea fragrance rose up and blurred his face.
After taking a sip of tea, he slowly replied: "Back to Guoyue County, what's the matter, is there something wrong?"
