(The cost of living in the Song Dynasty is too great, who still has a ticket, support the Chen family father and son...... ）－

When the first rays of morning light shine on the earth, a string of crisp and pleasant, penetrating iron card percussion sounds, echoing in the alleys of Qingshen County, accompanied by a loud chanting sound:

"The time has come, the morning light is faint, the day is clear, and there is haze on the riverside. It's cold in the morning and evening, so you need to prepare a jacket......"

Chen Ke was awakened by this voice, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, he couldn't believe his ears, what is this, it turned out to be the weather forecast! This evil old society is too humane.

Chen Xiliang had already gotten up, fetched water from outside, told his sons to go down to the ground to wash their faces and rinse their mouths, and then went out to eat breakfast......

The so-called 'people take food as the sky', as soon as the day dawns, people will worry about their stomachs.

The people of the Song Dynasty enjoyed it very much, and the townspeople rarely opened fire. Especially for breakfast, it is basically served by the nearby breakfast shop, porridge and rice snacks, meat and vegetarian snacks, and it is rich and thrifty. In addition to breakfast, tea and Erchen soup are also served. If you're lazy, even wash the noodle soup...... That is, the face wash, which can be brought to you. Probably this is the earliest 'caged pride of the people'.

Although it is certainly not as cost-effective as doing it yourself, the Song people rarely calculate this economic account. Even a poor scholar like Chen Xiliang who dragged his family with his family felt that this was a matter of course.

Of course, when their family first arrived, they hadn't booked a restaurant yet, so they had to go out to eat.

Hearing that he was going out to eat in the morning, Wulang and Liulang were all happy, but Saburo Chen Ke said: "That's a lot of money......"

"It's really sensible, but life doesn't come out of the mouth." Chen Xiliang touched his head and said with a smile: "I haven't had a good meal for many days, let's go." ”

After a brief freshening, the father and son went out. At this time, the county seat was quite quiet, and the rolling and remaking sounds of the oil cake shop and Hu cake shop that had been ringing since the fifth watch sounded very clear, which also made the brothers even hungrier.

On the street, there are already brokerage vendors who are in a hurry to make a living, and restaurant guys who deliver food, pushing carts and carrying burdens to shuttle through the alleys. Chen Xiliang found a little second brother who was carrying the burden of eating, asked the direction of his store, and then took his sons to find the breakfast shop with a big "food" disguise.

This house was spread out early under the stilted buildings on the street, and the stilted buildings on these streets are all in the front and back yards, and many people rent them for commercial and residential purposes, or even directly the owners, taking advantage of the location to start a business.

The store is not big, with only five tables, but looking at the food boxes raised at the running price, you know that people are mainly takeaways, and of course diners are welcome to come to the door. Seeing that a guest had arrived, the guy greeted with a smile: "The guest officer will come for the first time to have breakfast." There are all kinds of food and soup in our house! ”

"There's a second brother Lao." Chen Xiliang took his four sons into it and sat down around a pair of cypress tables and stools. In these years, the shopkeeper is called the eldest brother, and the guy is called the second brother......

"The guest officer looked at Miansheng, like he was here for the first time." The little two served free rice porridge and greeted politely.

"I just moved here yesterday."

"Congratulations on the housewarming." Xiao Er smiled and clenched his fists, and pointed to a row of bamboo signs behind the counter and said, "This shop is the best at making cakes, but the last five things are not served in the morning." What do you want to use for the guest officer? ”

The father and son of the Chen family followed what he pointed to, and saw that each brand had different cakes written on it, and the price of each was clearly marked...... What kinds of baked cakes, soup cakes, cooking cakes, ring cakes, sugar cakes, shortbreads, are enough for seven or eight things, and there are also those that are not called cakes, such as steamed buns, flat food, and wontons......

Chen Ke mobilized San Lang's memory, and it suddenly dawned on him that in the Song Dynasty, cake did not only refer to round food processed by barbecue. Any food made from flour can be called bread. The bread that is spoken of in later generations is called 'baked bread' at this time. Soup cake is noodle soup; The cooking cake was originally called steamed cake, but in order to avoid the ridicule of today's officials, it was renamed 'cooking cake', which is actually steamed bread in a cage. As for the steamed buns at this time, they are actually stuffed buns......

Chen Xi lit five bowls of soup cakes and a basket of steamed buns, afraid that it would not be enough, and ordered five cooking cakes. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, there was nothing left...... The children are very hungry and greedy, and it is called a whirlwind, and there is no piece of armor left! Like Chen Ke, he has never eaten anything serious in this world, and now he feels that he can eat a cow. Gorou is hungrier than him, Jiro hasn't eaten seriously for several days, and even Korokuro stuffs it into his mouth as if he doesn't have anything to eat next.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, just order more." Chen Xiliang's distressed nose was sour, and he hurriedly ordered an order. In the end, five steamed buns, three bowls of soup cakes, and ten cooking cakes were served, which will fill the stomachs of the boys.

"Thank you for your attention, fifty-two wen, the first time I came objectively, the shopkeeper said, I will count fifty wen." The guy said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, thank you." Chen Xiliang was in pain while taking out the money, and the rent for half a month was gone...... No wonder it is said that 'half the size of the child, eat the dead Lao Tzu', now four and a half children, why not eat two Lao Tzu to death?

After eating, he asked Erlang to go back with his three younger brothers first: "I'll go to the county government to complete the contract, and you brothers will clean up the house and don't be naughty." The father and son parted at the door of the shop, Chen Xiliang went to meet Qiu Lao'er, and Chen Chen led his younger brothers back.

On the way back, the morning sun was already hanging high, and the street was much more lively. The store removed the row of doors, put up a disguise, and showed its own merchandise...... The gold and silver paper in the paper shop was glossed by the morning light; The shop moved long tables filled with hats of all kinds to the street; The silk shop put new pieces of cloth on the counter; The ceramic shop moved out large and small clay pots and porcelain vases; The blacksmith shop began to tinkle; The pharmacy exudes the familiar scent of Saburo......

In addition to these various shops, there are also merchants carrying burdens and pushing Taiping carts, and hawking along the street. There are those who bind and retort, those who sell oil, those who weave straw shoes, those who make snakes and medicines, those who polish mirrors, those who make paper, those who sell incense, those who sell salt, those who make grass and flowers, those who sell the blood soup of pigs and sheep, those who sell pollen, those who sell ginger, and those who sell pots, cakes, bait, and knotweed......

The strong and vivid breath of life came to his face, which made Saburo completely stunned. There have been some days in this world, but he always has a strong sense of alienation, until this moment, seeing this vibrant scene, and finding himself in this scene, he finally feels that he is living, living in the Great Song Dynasty.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He wanted to go shopping, but there was still a lot of work to do at home, so the brothers had to leave the street and return to their small courtyard.

As soon as they returned, the brothers stared at the dilapidated house in a daze—from top to bottom, inside and out, there was no place not to tidy up. I really don't know where to start?

"Is labor expensive?" If the father is not there, Chen Ke will not pretend to be a child. Since both father and brother lack life experience, they have to support the family by themselves. Age is the biggest obstacle, but fortunately, Chen Chen has become accustomed to his abnormality.

"What artificial?" Chen Chen paused for a moment before he reacted and said: "When the ancestral house was renovated a few years ago, the bricklayer invited by the uncle said that it cost 100 wen a day. ”

"Alas......" Chen Ke sighed and said, "A month's rent." ”

"Uh......" Chen Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "It's you who bargain too hard." ”

"Let's get water to wash the floor first, and pray that it won't rain lately." Chen Ke patted his ass and got up, carrying a bucket to the patio to fetch water.

After tidying up the inside and outside of the house, Chen Xiliang also came back, he was holding a bamboo basket in one hand, which was filled with indica vegetables and vegetables, as well as two palm-length small fish, which were worn with wicker and hung on the edge of the basket. There was also a short-dressed man behind him, carrying two baskets of pots and pans, a bench and a cutting board, and a kitchen knife in his hand...... It seems that a breakfast has made him panic and decided to start a fire at home himself.

asked the man to move the basket into the kitchen on the east side, and Chen Xiliang paid him both money and goods. After thanking the man, he smiled and said, "The official has just moved here, and I live on the front street." ”

"It turned out to be a neighbor, please sit inside." Chen Xiliang had already sprinkled a few benches into the main room of the North House, barely able to accept customers.

"Not today, there are still storefronts to take care of." The man smiled and said, "When the officials settle down, I will make an appointment with the neighbors to congratulate me." ”

"Welcome, welcome." Chen Xiliang arched his hand.

After sending the man away, Chen Xiliang rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to make a fire to cook. The scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam are far away from the mountains and roads, and they can't always come across inns. Except for those rich children with scholars and husbands, they all have to cook by themselves.

Of course, Chen Xiliang's cooking skills are a bit bad to say that the word 'cooking' is limited to making raw and mature. As a result, the rice is mushy, the stir-fry is bitter, and even making a soup is like brushing a pot of water......

After a morning of work, the children were hungry again. A table of meals, no matter how delicious or bad, almost in the blink of an eye, all lit up the bottom of the plate. Seeing that they had eaten a bucket full of rice, Chen Xiliang was shocked again, this was the rice that was going to be eaten twice......

It seems that in two days, I will buy rice again, and Chen Xiliang, who has never been a house, has a headache. He was going to go out to collect his debts in a few days...... The difficult task of debt collection is really daunting when you think about it. But after paying the rent today and buying those daily necessities, he spent half of his savings, and now it seems that it is better to hurry up and start tomorrow.

After the children cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Xiliang asked them to sit down, and said seriously: "Although it is more difficult at home now, time waits for no one, your studies have fallen behind, and you will not be able to make up for it in your life." After speaking, he took out three books from the bookcase and said, "San Lang Wu Lang Liulang, you have been abandoned for a spring, and you can't waste it for a while." From tomorrow onwards, you will study with your hearts. Then he turned to Erlang and said: "My father has a lot of things to do in the past two days, Erlang, you can delay going back for two days, watch the younger brothers for me first, and don't allow them to be lazy." ”
