Chapter 117: Shopping
Yunzhu cleaned up a little and came over.
Mrs. Feng was sitting in the courtyard with Xiangmei, breaking off the old and rotten cabbage leaves.
"Ah, so many cabbages, do you have to pickle them?"
Feng Lao Niang said: "Yes, there are still a lot left, Song Niangzi should also take some to eat." ”
"Come on, I'll pick up some spicy cabbage."
"Okay, I'll let Ping An send some over later."
Yunzhu hurriedly thanked him.
"How are you going to pickle these dishes?"
Feng Lao Niang smiled and said: "In previous years, I just put some salt, and then add some peppercorn noodles to marinate and put it on the altar, they don't like to eat it very much, saying sour, so this year I want to ask you, see if there is any other way?" ”
Yun Zhu said with a smile: "There is a way, you can make a kind of spicy, or you can make a kind of non-spicy." I'll see what you have in store. ”
Feng Lao Niang took Yun Zhu to the stove to take a look, Yun Zhu nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough, I also plan to add some spices, why don't I help you bring it back." ”
"It's good to dare you, I'll give you money when I go back."
Yunzhu smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Here Ping'an heard that Yunzhu was going to the street to buy something, so he took the initiative to say: "If Azhu has no one to help you get things, why don't I accompany you?" ”
Yunzhu waved his hand and said, "No, I can't get much of anything." ”
Feng Lao Niang understood what her son meant, so she said to Yunzhu: "Let him go with you, anyway, he is going to go to the street to help me buy things." ”
Yunzhu didn't pay any more attention. Ping An quietly bowed and bowed to his mother, and Mrs. Feng secretly gave him a look, signaling him to be more steady.
Yunzhu went home and changed her clothes again. I carried the basket on my back and wanted to call Tian Tian to look at the house. But I didn't see her at all. The little snow rabbit had been carefully moved by Tian Tian to the windowsill.
Yunzhu glanced at the lively little rabbit, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Ping'an walked over and said to Yunzhu: "Let's go." Meizi is at home, don't you worry, I'll let her come over to help you look at the house. ”
Yunzhu said okay.
Ping An took the initiative to help Yunzhu carry the basket, and the two went out of the house one after the other. Yunzhu walked behind Ping'an and saw him wearing a gray cotton robe and a dark gray warm hat. Because of the cold weather, he was tightly wrapped, and it seemed that he was a little tiger-backed, and he looked very strong.
Although there was no snow at this time, the snow had not yet melted in many places on the road. The feet were soft and soft, but it was not nothing, the cloth-soled shoes were wet after a while, and the chill rushed to the soles of the feet, and the whole body was shivering.
Yunzhu followed his steps closely, obviously she couldn't keep up with Ping'an's footsteps, and soon Ping'an stopped and waited for her, the distance between the two was not too far. Ping An deliberately slowed down his pace again.
"It's really cold today, and it's going to snow at night."
Yunzhu said: "It's good to snow, Tian Tian likes snow." Her hands were as cold as carrots, and she didn't care at all. ”
Ping An smiled: "This is very similar to plums." ”
Along the way, the two just chatted casually, but it was not as casual as before. Ping An could feel that Yunzhu was always avoiding something, intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't force it, as long as Yunzhu didn't avoid him like he had a while ago.
Walked a while. When about to go up a slope, Yunzhu did not step on his feet. actually slipped and fell, but fortunately, Ping An reacted quickly enough. caught her in time, otherwise this fall would definitely bleed from her knees.
Yun Zhu looked at him in shock, and said tremblingly: "Thank you!" ”
Ping An panicked: "It's okay if you're fine." Or I'll lead you away? ”
After Yunzhu stood up, he pulled out his hand and said, "It's not good for people to see." ”
Ping An smiled and said, "Why don't you go ahead?" ”
The two were still separated by a distance, but this time Yunzhu walked in front, but they had no topic and walked silently to the market.
The New Year's market is always many times more lively than in the past, and many shops have been newly decorated, and when the New Year arrives, red silk is tied, red lanterns are hung, and new signboards are replaced.
When the things in the shop were basically the most complete, they came to the grain and oil store, Yunzhu bought some items they needed, and helped Feng Lao Niang buy some spices.
Out of the grain and oil store, Yunzhu walked along the foot to the cloth village again. Buzhuang was also much more lively than usual, and the shopkeeper smiled on his face, nodded and hurriedly sent it to usher. For people like Yunzhu who look at it casually, the shopkeeper can't greet him, and Yunzhu is happy. She walked past those fine fabrics, her eyes swept away one by one, the beautiful patterns, the fine fabrics, the clothes made must be a gorgeous dress, but unfortunately it was not something she could wear, just to see. A high-quality brocade, her family can't buy it with a little black.
At last she walked over to the row of cheaper cotton linen and chose between them, and finally chose an indigo ruler and then a magenta ruler.
When he walked out of the shop, Ping'an whispered in Yunzhu's ear: "Ah Zhu, one day I will also let you wear silk satin." ”
"Come on, such expensive materials, how to work on the body, I'm just looking at it." As he spoke, he entered a bookstore again.
Compared with other shops, the bookstore seems to be much more deserted, the shopkeeper sits at the door silently looking at the crowd coming and going, and finally sees a business coming to the door, and wants to go up to say hello, but when he sees Ping'an's not very friendly smile, he hesitates to go up.
Yun Zhu walked to the bookshelf, picked up a book at random and flipped through it, seeing that it was a novel with chapters and bodies, he thought that there was no entertainment here, so it was better to buy it back for recreation, so he took this book, and thought about buying two famous tablets for Tian Tian to practice calligraphy, so he chose one pass and bought a copy of Zhao Mengfu's.
The most of the reference materials in the bookstore are such as imperial examinations, and she is not interested in choosing. Anyway, the people around me didn't need to look at it, so they naturally skipped them.
Yun Zhu saw that there were a few beautifully bound books on the back shelf, and thought to himself what was the content, so he walked curiously, but unfortunately it was a bit high, and some could not reach it. The blue satin cover is very textured to the touch.
Yun Zhu flipped through the page casually, and saw that it was an atlas, and she only glanced at the contents of the album, and immediately closed it, her face was like a red cloth, and she hurriedly stuffed the book on the shelf, and was in a hurry to leave.
The shopkeeper thought that Yunzhu was not satisfied with the book, so he hurriedly introduced it to Ping'an: "There is also a treasured booklet inside, which is Tang Yin's handwriting, although the price is higher, but the painting is really good, and vivid, just like to come back to life." ”
Ping An also waved his hand very embarrassed and said, "No need." ”
Yunzhu hurriedly paid the money and walked out of the bookstore, complaining in his heart, "Why do you have so much curiosity, why do you want to go to the book, or in front of him." "At this moment, I really want to dig a hole in the ground and get into it, and never see anyone again. (To be continued......)
