Traveling through ancient times to get rid of poverty, the whole network sends me express delivery

Shen Wanning thanked the netizens and chatted with them for a while before arriving at the county town. Thinking of the netizens' enthusiasm, she decided to buy more things for the lucky draw this time.

It’s not that she is stingy, it’s just that there are too many netizens. The number of viewers is in the hundreds of thousands every time, and at most there are even millions of viewers.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw the scene at the city gate. What the villagers said was right. This time at the county gate, I could see many tents. The refugees were staying in the tents. People from the county government were watching over them and not allowing them to cause trouble.

You don’t need to pay an entrance fee to enter the city this time. There are still two guards at the door, but you can enter the city directly.

Shen Wanning got into the car, carefully recalling the milk stall she'd seen last time. She continued walking forward, stopping along the way and buying a lot of things. She bought things like steamed buns, pastries, and some unknown wild fruits. She generally chose edible items, as the other items might become antiques in the modern era, so it was best not to send them.

Every time she finishes shopping, she finds a deserted place to drop off the items at the courier station, which makes her feel relaxed. As she walks, she adds chili seedlings to the gift box in the live broadcast room.

In this era, spicy flavors mainly rely on pepper and dogwood, but they are still not as flavorful as chili peppers. She hasn't eaten chili peppers since she came here, and she misses it so much.

After walking for a long time, I finally found milk in a restaurant called Zuixianlou. However, milk has a strong smell, so basically no one drinks it.

Shen Wanning walked into the restaurant and saw the waiter dozing off in front of the restaurant. There was not a single customer inside. She was puzzled. The restaurant was in a good location, so why was there no one coming?

"Oh, a guest is here. Please come in, sir." Seeing Shen Wanning come in, the waiter perked up and led her in with a smile.

"Do you have milk in Zuixianlou?" Shen Wanning stated her purpose as soon as she entered.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, we do have it, but the taste of the milk isn't very good. Sir, I have to tell you first, the milk cannot be returned once ordered."

"Okay, give me a bowl of milk." Shen Wanning found a table and sat down.

"Okay, please sit for a while, the milk will be here soon. Do you want anything else?" The waiter put the rag on his back and answered loudly.

Shen Wanning propped up her head and thought for a moment, "Then let's have another bowl of plain noodles!"

"Okay, a bowl of milk and a bowl of plain noodles." The waiter said as he ran towards the kitchen.

Just as Shen Wanning was waiting bored, a pretty woman dressed as a maid walked in. "Waiter, waiter, eh~ where's the waiter!"

The maid shouted a few words at first, but didn't see the waiter, so she felt strange.

Just as Shen Wanning was about to speak, the waiter came out from the kitchen with a flattering smile on his face, "Miss Yaohong, we are preparing Miss He's milk and will send it to your house later."

"You better hurry up. We agreed to deliver it every morning, but you're late today. My young lady is getting impatient, so I came to urge her."

"The shopkeeper has some matters at home today, so the delivery will be late. Don't worry, I will send it to your house right away." The waiter continued to apologize with a smile.

"Okay, then hurry up and deliver it before my lady takes a nap."

"Of course, of course. We'll find someone to take her there right away." The waiter escorted the girl named Yaohong out.

After a while, the waiter went to the kitchen again, brought back a bowl of plain noodles and a bowl of milk, and placed them on the table.

Shen Wanning took a look at the Yangchun noodles. They were pitch black and had too much soy sauce. She didn't look very appetizing.

Even so, she picked up a chopstick and tasted it. It tasted just average—not terrible, but definitely not delicious either. It was worse than the plain noodles from the street vendors, which were even cheaper by two cents. No wonder this restaurant was doing so poorly.

In the spirit of not wasting food, she finally ate the bowl of plain noodles. Looking at the milky white milk in the bowl, she picked it up, smelled it, and took a sip. It was indeed a bit strong in the smell of mutton.

She has never drunk fresh milk like this in modern times. She usually drinks processed milk.

"Waiter, who was that girl just now? Is there anyone in her family who likes to drink milk?" Shen Wanning asked.

"You may not know this, but this girl with red hair is the maid of the county magistrate's daughter. The county magistrate's daughter loves milk very much. I heard that she drinks a bowl of milk every day." The waiter gossiped.

Shen Wanning nodded. "I see. I didn't expect there are people who love milk as much as I do. By the way, where does your milk come from? Can I order a large quantity?"

This wasn't a secret, so the waiter explained, "This milk comes from our boss's dairy cows. They produce milk most of the year. We can't drink all the milk at home, so we sell it in the restaurant."

"Oh? So, your boss also likes to drink milk?"

"That's not the case. Last year, my boss's wife gave birth, but she was not in good health and could not feed the baby herself. When the boss's sister found out, she asked someone to send a dairy cow from Daliang. Oh, I forgot to mention that our boss's sister married in Daliang and is living a very good life there." The waiter said with a smile.

"I wonder if your boss is here? Can I meet him? I want to discuss business with your boss." Shen Wanning was secretly happy. It would be great if she could buy a cow from the boss.

"Well... the shopkeeper just went out to deliver milk to the county magistrate's daughter. I'm afraid it will take a while for him to come back."

"Hey, your boss has to go in person for this matter?" Shen Wanning widened her eyes slightly, a little surprised.

"To be honest, the shopkeeper is my cousin. There are only two of us in the whole restaurant. I am a waiter and my cousin is the chef. Alas, business is not good these days, so we can't afford to hire so many people." The waiter opened up all of a sudden, as if he hadn't chatted with anyone for a long time.

After hearing what the waiter said, Shen Wanning looked around the restaurant. It was two stories high, with the lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second. There were six private rooms upstairs. As for the back, she guessed there must be a place for people to live.

"Since the business of this restaurant is not so good, why doesn't your boss sell it?"

"This restaurant was left by my grandfather. My cousin hoped to take good care of it, but who knew that it would not be able to make ends meet. In addition, my cousin was afraid that I would not be able to earn a living outside, so he kept me here." The waiter sighed and lowered his head.

Shen Wanning nodded. "So that's the case. It seems your shopkeeper is also a kind-hearted and honest person."
