Xue Ru and Jing rarely rushed to the market, and the two of them curiously followed Xue Jiao and Qi Ping on the street.

The town's set is not a single one, that is to say, the second, fourth, and sixth are gathered, and the third, fifth, and seventh avoid the set, of course, the first and fifteenth are not counted. Because the people who rush to the market are all villagers in ten miles and eight villages, if it is a market every day, it will delay the farm work, so it is fixed on the even number of days every month.

The bazaar was very lively, with people selling things and people buying things, and the shouts came and went.

Xuejiao went to Zhichun Pharmacy to sell wild chrysanthemums and got five cents. Jinghao and Xueru were even more surprised, the wild chrysanthemums in the field could also be exchanged for silver.

Qi Ping shouted to eat the sugar gourd, and the crystal clear sugar gourd was inserted on the firewood and grass target, exuding a sweet aroma. Xue Jiaole bought four strings and spent a penny.

A few people walked while eating sugar gourds, and Xue Jiao took Xue Ru and Jinghao to the needlework street, and found many little daughters-in-law and old women holding baskets to sell shoe soles and embroidery. A little daughter-in-law's embroidery business is the best, her work is bright and the stitches are fine, and there are naturally many people who come to buy.

"This peony is so beautifully embroidered, look at this leaf and this flower are really the same, how much does it cost?" Someone asked.

"Two pennies." The little daughter-in-law said with a smile.

The man didn't make a counteroffer, bought it and left.

Xue Jiao looked at Xue Ru and Jing Hao, who were taken aback, and said: "That little daughter-in-law's embroidery skills are really good, but compared to my sister's embroidery, it is still poor, and Sister Jing Hao can't compare, if the two sisters embroider flowers to sell, they will definitely be able to sell at a good price." ”

"Really?" Jing Haofei blushed.

"Otherwise, let's try to sell the embroidered flowers." Xueru is already eager to try.

Jing Hao has always had a pimple in her heart about that Huang Gongzi gave Wang Baozhu a hundred taels of silver instead of Master Qin, she thought that if she changed the money, she would return the silver to others, she didn't want to owe a stranger a favor.

A few people walked around, and Xue Jiao asked everyone to pick a gift for themselves. Qi Ping asked for a roast chicken to take home and eat it slowly, and Xue Ru and Jing said that they didn't want anything.

When she came to a rouge shop, Xuejiao selected a piece of face wash pancreas and a box of moisturizer for each of Xue Ru and Jinghao, and a box of rouge and a box of incense powder for Li's family.

Jinghao and Xueru planned to embroider and sell them, and Xuejiao took the initiative to buy all kinds of four-threads.

"Second sister, didn't you say take us down to the restaurant?" Qi Ping was not interested in these girls' stuff.

"You're a snacker." Xue Jiao smiled and nodded Qi Ping's forehead: "Let's go to the restaurant immediately." ”

After discussion, Xue Jiao decided to take Xue Ru, Jing Hao, and Qi Ping to Qingfeng Village for a hearty meal.

Passing by a hat shop, Xue Jiao bought another hat for Chen Xiucai and Chen Qiping.

"How many? Inside please. As soon as I arrived at the gate of Qingfeng Village, I greeted her warmly, and when I saw that Xue Jiao was even more enthusiastic: "Hey, isn't this the girl of the Chen family who provides us with recipes for what month and what bridge?" Inside please, inside please. ”

The shopkeeper invited Xue Jiao and a few people to the window position, and enthusiastically served tea: "Miss Chen, do you have a new recipe, the shopkeeper is no longer there today, I will invite Lao Miao." ”

"We're here for dinner today, don't bother." Xue Jiao leaned back in her chair and said.

Xue Ru and Jing Hao went to the restaurant for the first time, nervously lowered their heads, occasionally scanning other diners with their eyes, and Xue Jiao drank tea calmly.

"Xuejiao is here." As soon as she heard this voice, it must have been Master Miao, Chen Xuejiao turned around, and sure enough, she saw Lao Miao walking over with a white apron.

"Master Miao," Xue Jiao stood up and said hello, looked at Jing Hao and Xue Ru and said, "I will take my two sisters and younger brother to the restaurant today, Master Miao has any delicious dishes to recommend." ”

"Oh, I thought you had come up with a new recipe, but you came to the restaurant. Okay, I'll make a specialty dish for you today. Lao Miao said happily, then lowered his head and smiled mysteriously, "Your twenty-four bridges were hand-picked by a nobleman in Xuzhou Mansion as the finale on the moonlit night, and you are waiting for the nobleman's wife to have a good fortune on her birthday." ”

There was a job to hand Xue Jiao a menu, and Xue Jiao ordered a fried kidney flower, a soft fried tenderloin, and a fine chicken shredded under the recommendation of Lao Miao, and then handed the menu to Xue Ru, Jing Hao, and Qi Ping. Qi Ping was not enlightened and could not read, Xue Jiao read to him, he just ate meat and ordered a salt water stewed crystal elbow. Xue Ru and Jing were reluctant to order, they thought that the food was enough for them to eat, and it would be a waste to order any more. At Xue Jiao's strong request, Xue Ru ordered a dish of fried dried bamboo shoots, Jing Hao ordered a dish of bean curd radish, and finally Xue Jiao also ordered a basket of Qingfeng Village's famous pork sauce buns.

Xue Jiao's children were drinking tea and chatting while waiting for the food to be served, and suddenly heard a familiar and delicate voice coming from the box next door, vaguely like Xue Yao's voice.

I saw Jinghao and Xueru raise their heads, and they heard it too. Xue Jiao quietly walked over, Qi Ping followed, and the two of them looked inside through the crack in the door of the box. The woman with her back to the door was dressed in a red carved silk gown embroidered with a little plum, and the black green silk was loosely pulled up for a month and a half, and a camellia was inserted, which was exactly the outfit that Xue Jiao saw Xue Yao in the morning. Opposite her sat a man, in his thirties, with a goatee, his face was white and blue, and he was dressed in a patterned blue dress.

“…… Who am I for, even the old lady has crossed the clear road, and you are a big man who has not expressed his position so far. The woman's voice seemed to be delicate, with a thick nasal voice as if she had just cried, and the tone must be Xue Yao's right.

But who is the man in front of him?

"Isn't this for your own good? You also know the situation at home, if you find out at this time, won't it push you into the fire pit? Hui Niang, she has changed a little recently, unlike before, she is obedient to me, and the clay man also has a three-point temperament, in case she makes trouble, it will not be good for you or me. The man in front of him whispered.

"You just think about her, you don't want to think about me, how did you tell me before, you are worried that she will make trouble, you are not afraid that I will make trouble, why bother, and use this to block me, it's not because I'm just a maid with no foundation. If you don't want to make it clear as soon as possible, I will be worried all day long, my age is here, and yesterday my family discussed with me that I would mention the redemption of the old lady when I went back this time. Xue Yao cried, with anger in her voice.

"You only think about you, and what good will it do you to make trouble. The old lady likes you, and she has already said that she doesn't want your ransom money, why she keeps you by her side to serve, not because she wants to give you a good home. You ransom your wealth, and marry only a country horseman, you can stand it. The man on the other side was a little angry, raised his voice and said, "If you want to leave, I won't keep you, I thought you were a gentle and lovely person, but I misjudged you." ”

The man stood up with an angry face.

"Why bother, I'm just talking." Xue Yao stopped crying, and her voice became more and more gentle and sweet, "This body is all yours, where else can you let me go." ”

"That's right, when you come to the house these days, you miss me, hurry back to Xuzhou Mansion." The man put on a smiling face, hooked Xue Yao's chin and said, "You come home and deliberately hang my appetite." ”

"Lord, lord." Xue Yao suddenly twisted her head to the side, and Xue Jiao saw through the crack in the door that her side face flew up a red glow, her crystal skin was as bright as summer flowers, and her crying eyes were misty.

Xue Jiao was so frightened that she quickly retracted her head.

"Sister, who is that man?" Qi Ping asked quietly.

"Don't ask, and don't mention it when you get home." Xue Jiao reprimanded Qi Ping, and Qi Ping stuck out his tongue in fright.

"Leprechaun." The man's voice came out with heavy breathing, accompanied by Xue Yao's coquettish laughter.

Xue Jiao led Qi Ping back to his seat.

"The dishes are starting to be served, and I just wanted to call you two to go. What did you two look at, so long. Xue Ru said angrily, and lowered her voice again, "I see Xue Yao." ”

Xue Jiao said vaguely: "It's a little like and a little bit like it, I can't see it really." ”

The dishes are happy, everyone eats the dishes, and this topic will not be mentioned.

"Sister, sister Jinghao, try this brine stewed crystal elbow, it will melt in your mouth, and you won't be greasy." Xue Jiao greeted and said.

"You just greet us, why don't you eat." Xue Ru smiled softly, "I didn't expect that we could also go to the restaurant to eat, but my mother, father, and brother didn't come." ”

"Let's go back and bring them food, and we will make a lot of money in the future, and we can go to the restaurant whenever we want." Xue Jiao took a bite of the soft-fried tenderloin.

Lao Miao's craftsmanship is very good, which can be seen from Master Qin's praise. The dish is delicious, retaining the original taste of the ingredients and blending the flavors of the side dishes. Xue Jiao liked to travel and eat food in her previous life, she always felt that the food here was delicious, and after eating, she always felt that there was less aftertaste on her taste buds, and she thought that the taste was umami while eating. The dishes in the previous life had umami because there were various seasonings, and there were few seasonings in ancient times, and Xue Jiao needed seasonings if she wanted to improve the umami of the dish. If she can make the dishes more delicious, it is also a way to make a fortune.

Suddenly, the cheerful voice of the guy came: "Gu Gongzi, Huang Gongzi, I just came back from going out." ”

I saw Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang walking in, Gu Siyuan was wearing a white shirt, and Huang Sanlang was wearing a blue shirt, walking side by side, with a graceful demeanor and outstanding temperament.

"Brother Gu, Brother Huang." Qi Ping had already shouted.

Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang heard the shout and walked in front of Xue Jiao, Gu Siyuan touched Qi Ping's head and gave him a bamboo grasshopper in his hand.

Several people greeted each other, and Xue Jiao smiled and invited the two sons to have dinner with them. The two sons sat down and added two more dishes, stir-fried wolfberry sprouts and steamed taro.

"Huang Gongzi, thank you for the one hundred taels of silver that day." Jing Hao plucked up the courage to say.

Huang Gongzi smiled and said that he was a little effortful, and he was stunned for a moment when he looked at Jing Hao's crimson face. The appearance of this country girl is the real autumn water as a god, pear clouds are bones, surprise is so amazing, and Yan is so beautiful. Gu Siyuan pushed Huang Gongzi, Gu Siyuan felt that Jing was beautiful, but it was not as vibrant as Xuejiao.

After eating, Gu Siyuan wanted to settle the bill, but was stopped by Xue Jiao.

"I heard that these days, you have gone to Master Qin's place." Gu Siyuan asked Chen Xuejiao.

"Yes." Chen Xuejiao replied with a smile.

"You have a relationship with Master Qin, but he just doesn't see me and San Lang." Gu Siyuan said.

"That's because I know how to cook." Chen Xuejiao smiled and said, "Do you want to help you meet Master Qin, but I'm not sure, if it is, I'm willing to give it a try." ”

Gu Siyuan saw that she was so sincere and nodded.

Chen Xuejiao and the others wanted to go back and say goodbye to the two sons in front of Qingfeng Village.

Xue Jiao suddenly caught a glimpse of a red dress sitting in the carriage, whether it was Xue Yao or not, and she didn't see it really.

Xue Jiao thought of the man in the box and guessed that it should be someone from Ding Mansion.
