Chapter 139: Housewarming
The previous head of the house is also a cook, all the pots and pans are complete, there is a well not far from the kitchen, and the whole house was rented by Ayao after only being idle for more than a month.
As for other places, such as the houses with poor furniture, they will be slowly working on them in the future.
The first time Ayao moved in was to clean the kitchen, clean the kitchen inside and out, and move the steamer iron pot cake pan outside, the seasoning and the dishes and chopsticks that the previous head of the household did not take away were taken away by her and thrown away.
It seemed like it hadn't done much and it was already noon.
In the late autumn of the capital, the wind is blowing.
After doing the work, I walked out of the kitchen covered in sweat and was blown by the autumn wind, and the hot sweat was collected back, Ayao was excited, and hurriedly ran back to wipe the sweat with a handkerchief. It's autumn, don't come to the capital and pay respect for your illness before anything starts, the medical conditions in this era are not good-
She didn't want to try the "treatment" of holding chickens back then.
"Firewood, ginger, onions, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and I have to buy rice noodles, dishes, chopsticks and plates, and I have to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and go back and make a booklet to write down......" Ah Yao broke her fingers and tidied up the kitchen for a morning, knowing what she lacked.
Eat two sour stuffed buns nearby, an oil glutinous, and a bowl of white porridge, deal with the noon, the tofu mill next to it sells tofu, and also sells boiled soy milk, she bought soy milk before going back, and if she does it in the afternoon, she will make salty soy milk, and she will drink it directly as afternoon tea if she is too busy.
"The sour stuffed buns cost six yuan, the oil glutinous rice cake cost two yuan, the white porridge cost two yuan, and the soybean milk cost a total of ten yuan, which is similar to Nanxun's. ”
Now that they're all out, come out and buy the things that should be bought, and then continue to work on her kitchen in the afternoon.
All the way to find someone to inquire about rice shops, food stores selling seasonings, and those selling dishes and chopsticks, not far from home, what surprised Ah Yao even more was that the night market was on this spacious street, and after nightfall, the shops on both sides put out tables and chairs, and there were vendors who carried them to the night market to do business.
In the previous dynasty, there was a curfew, and the trade was divided into two squares, east and west; in this dynasty, the imperial court encouraged the people to do business, and the curfew was also relaxed, and there were a total of nine chambers and sixteen squares in the inner and outer cities of the capital, and the people could move in the chambers at night, but they could not leave the chambers to which they belonged. In other words, the box is the district of the later generations, and the square is the street.
On the street is the Dongcheng Night Market, which is the closest to the Imperial City, the Dongcheng Xiangyun gathers officials and nobles, and there are also small officials and wealthy people who live here, naturally this night market is the most lively and prosperous among the nine chambers and sixteen squares.
Although you can't see the prosperity at night during the day, the streets are crowded, and there are many blond and blue-eyed foreigners.
Eight times the money is not spent.
If the bird's nest is there, she should also choose Dongchengxiang.
Ah Yao pressed her left hand to hold the money, the right hand to hold the spoon, embarked on the fantasy of a winner in life, the future winner of life has no rice in the pot today.
A bucket of rice is 250 Wen, ten liters is a bucket, an adult needs about two liters of rice a day, she can't eat so much, this bucket of rice can eat for more than ten days.
30 Wen money four taels of pork, the aquatic products in the capital are more expensive than Nanxun, such as the anchovy to the same money, is a rare thing; pepper, cinnamon, green onion and ginger such seasonings and side dishes, a day's amount is only a penny. Ah Yao saw that the dried ginger was only twelve dollars a catty, so she simply gave a pound of everything that was durable.
Bought rice and cut meat, seasonings, a pot of soy milk in hand, almost couldn't lift it, she regretted to give up, first went home to continue to tidy up, saw the old man selling firewood at the entrance of the alley, quickly put everything on the stone table in the courtyard, ran out to find the old man to sell firewood.
She went in and out, being watched by the neighbors. When Ah Yao dragged the firewood home, the woman who was in the shade of the tree called Ah Yao to stop: "Little girl, you just moved here, and the family is full of people? ”
"A-Niang married far away, I went to Beijing to find my sister, she worked in a big family in Beijing, and I was alone at home. Ah Yao pondered, and said door to door with those women, if there were still people in the family, they would definitely be seen through after a long time, and said half-truths.
Big families or something, she made it up. As everyone knows, he was really right by Ayao.
"Ah sneeze!" Ah Yao's "Ah Sister" bird's nest rubbed her nose and asked Sister Ya if there was something wrong with her. The maid in front of her stuffed her own clothes to wash, and when she sneezed, she was afraid that she would be sick, so she quickly took her clothes back, stabbed her a few words and walked away.
Bird's Nest didn't care, thinking to herself, could it be that the conpoy was talking about her?
At the other end, as soon as Ah Yao's words fell, the women's eyes were full of looks, there was a little pity here, and Ah Yao couldn't see the whole person well.
"However, if you can rent it here instead of going to Futianyuan, the family probably has some money. ”
Fukudain is a welfare home provided by the imperial court, and widows, widows, orphans, and solitary people can go.
Ah Yao's smile froze, and she secretly scolded this kind of idle and boring, annoying aunt everywhere, and looked at the voice, it was a tall and thin woman who spoke, and she looked at people with disgusted eyes.
"There are still a bunch of housekeeping at home waiting for me to take care of, so I will take my leave first, and when the family is settled, I will come to visit my sisters. She didn't answer the aunt's words, nodded to the others, and carried her things home.
Walking away, a word or two from them floated into their ears.
"The little girl just moved in, she has no mother, no father, and her sister is not there, she is alone. You came up with a sentence about Futianyuan, and the face of the person changed when he said it, who likes to hear this. ”
"Then I'm not wrong, I can rent here, who can pretend to be pitiful with a little money at home......"
Yao closed the door.
After the firewood was chopped, she quickly washed the shabu-shabu with well water, lifted it to the stove, and stuffed it into the stove with a small branch, and stuffed a little straw to see that the fire on the stove was gradually vigorous, and then added thicker firewood.
The iron pot was red, A-Yao brought a bucket and poured it into the pot to boil water, so that she could use hot water to wash those pots and pans, as well as wipe the beds, tables and chairs......
When she was thirsty, she drank soy milk, and the neighbors cooked one after another, wafting the fragrance of food, and Ah Yao realized that it was already dusk, and the tidying up of the kitchen took more time than she imagined.
"Tuk tuk. ”
"Who?" asked Ah Yao, standing by the door.
"I'm next door, and we just talked in the afternoon under the big tree at the door. The person outside the door said, Ah Yao thought about it, the voice did sound familiar, so she opened the crack in the door and glanced left and right a few times. "Auntie, is there something wrong?"
"Ouch, the little girl's mouth is so sweet, my surname is Li, my husband's surname is Wang, and I call Grandma Wang. "The woman was in her forties, kind-looking, and spoke calmly, and she was coaxed by Ah Yao, and her eyes were smiling and blooming, and she was so happy:
"This house has not been lived in for more than a month, I think you should be cleaning, I don't think you have time to do it after buying rice and noodles. This is the 'fish picking' made by my family, if you don't dislike it, I will fill my stomach today, and I can do it slowly at home, not in a hurry. ”
Dial the fish is the batter batter, the rice paste is poured into the colander, flow out one by one like fish and like noodles, fall into the soup, boiled into a thick powdered soup, Aunt Wang made the fish, the soup base is gourd shredded, in the soup beat an egg to disperse, can be eaten as a vegetable, can also be used as a staple food to fill the stomach.
"Thank you. How can it be done, I can't shout when you're so young, can I call you Aunt Wang?" A-Yao took it and accepted her kindness, she originally thought that while it was still dark, she would go out and buy a few more sour stuffed buns to fill her stomach.
"This is close to the border of the box, there are official patrols at night, there are few petty thefts, but you are young and a person, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people who have a bad mind to worry, it is best to buy a thin dog, look good at home, don't look at the puppy cute to choose cute, in the useless. Aunt Wang instructed.
A-Yao is very grateful, she is new to the capital, she is not familiar with the place of life, but fortunately there are kind neighbors to help: "Thank you Aunt Wang for reminding me, tomorrow I will go to buy a dog to watch the house, where is it better to buy it?"
Aunt Wang saw that A-Yao listened to her words carefully, so she told her the location, and broke the route and told her in detail, for fear that she would not be able to remember, so she asked her to find someone to inquire on the road tomorrow.
After sending Aunt Wang away, seeing that she really entered the next room, and hearing her family talking to her in the courtyard, Ah Yao closed the door and faced a deserted room alone.
