It wasn't until he couldn't see Zhao Shanxing's figure that Li retracted his gaze.

Then, talk to Zhao Shanchuan's family about their next arrangements.

Before leaving, Zhao Fuxiang and Li had a brief discussion.

Especially Zhao Fuxiang, after officially living in Meadow Village, he is extremely concerned about the price of food and other issues.

Therefore, Zhao Fuxiang planned to take a look at the grain and some farming tools first.

Zhao Shanchuan also planned to follow after hearing this, but it happened that the farm tools at home were damaged to some extent, and it was troublesome to repair, so he wanted to buy some new ones and go back to replenish them.

And the Li family wanted to take advantage of Zhao Fuxiang to go to the blacksmith shop in the city to order a batch of tools for the opening of the shop.

Zhao Yu thought of the sweets business he wanted to do, and he also needed custom tools, so he discussed it with the Yuan family, and planned to go to the blacksmith shop with the Li family.

It just so happened that the Yuan family had nothing to do, so he agreed to Zhao Yu, and Zhao Xia and Zhao Mingteng, the two small ones, only had to follow.

After deciding what to do next, the two groups separated in place.

And agreed that after half an hour, I will return here to gather, and then I can go to the fair to have a look.

Zhao Fuxiang and Zhao Shanchuan drove away.

Li also led Yuan and the others in the direction of the blacksmith shop.

On the way, Li also asked how Zhao Yu's sweet business was.

Zhao Yu didn't hide it, she said everything she had been thinking about in the past few days, and by the way, she also expressed her idea of wanting to make cakes.

The reason given by Zhao Yu is also irrefutable, "Milk, people here love some sweet and delicious food more than us in the north, I think that kind of fluffy and soft cake is good." ”

It's like the cake in her head, the size of a palm, the soft color of the yellow and yellow, fluffy and soft, and it tastes sweet and silky.

Not only that, but there are different varieties of cakes in her little brain, and even desserts and pastries such as cream, jam, and so on.

Don't look at the fact that your own shop has not yet opened, but Zhao Yu's little brain has already thought of a series of subsequent developments of the shop, and even the branch has already been conceived.

For the first time, Zhao Yu had the idea of wanting to make his business bigger and stronger.

Because of this, Zhao Yu is full of confidence at the moment, and constantly plans for the next steps.

Li didn't know that Zhao Yu had thought so much at the moment, so he only heard that Zhao Yu had a plan, so he asked casually,

"Well, the sweets are settled, what does the shop look like?"

Zhao Yu didn't reply, but the Yuan family on the side replied, "Mother, we got the location map of the shops in the city from Lizheng a few days ago, and we have already seen several places, just waiting for this time to enter the city to settle down." ”

I would like to say here again, regarding the issue of buying and selling shops in Qingping County, because they are newcomers, they are subject to the restriction that they need to live for two years before they can buy.

So at the moment, if they want to open a shop in Qingping County, they can only spend money to rent it from the government.

However, leasing also has the benefit of renting.

Because of the special care of the county order, the Li Zheng of each village will have the latest drawings of the entire Qingping County shop for rent, and they only need to determine the location first, and then come to the city to see it directly.

And before Yu Dehai became a meadow village, he happened to be a native of Qingping County, lived in Qingping County for decades, and knew everything about Qingping County.

It was Yu Dehai who knew it, so by the way, he recommended several shops with good locations to the two.

Zhao Shanchuan and Yuan both thought it was very good, and if there was no accident in entering the city this time, they would settle down directly.

The same is true for the Li family, the shop she likes is also determined from a few recommended by Yu Dehai, "That's right, let's go to the blacksmith shop to order the tools first, and then go to the fair, and when we come back, we will go to order the shop when there is nothing to do." ”

The shops that are still idle in Qingping County are all from the county government nine times out of ten.

So although it is not possible to buy and sell at the moment, the price of the lease is very reasonable.

It's okay, the price is not expensive, and it can be affordable for everyone at the moment.

…………

The blacksmith shop in Qingping County is located slightly closer to the east of the city, and there are some carpenter shops, furniture shops, and rental shops around it.

Bypassing these shops, several people soon came to the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop sells a wide range of common iron utensils and tools, as well as some alloys that resemble stainless steel.

According to the people in the blacksmith shop, these alloys are the latest good things from Jingzhou, which are not only light and thin, but also wear-resistant.

Zhao Yu looked good, and set a lot of things proudly.

Similar to cake ovens, baking trays, steaming cage drawers, special molds, scrapers, whisks......

Almost everything she could think of, she unceremoniously ordered a batch, and for safety, most of her custom materials were made of more expensive stainless steel.

For the deposit alone, she spent ten taels of silver.

After spending this money, Yuan's heart was distressed enough.

The people in the blacksmith shop on the side were also surprised, but when the deal came, there was no reason to push it out, and the people in the blacksmith shop strongly recommended several good pots and plates, and by the way, they also promised to send Zhao Yu a few matching bowls and chopsticks.

Li's is not as good as Zhao Yu, she also ordered a batch of tools, but most of them are iron products, and the price is not as expensive as stainless steel, (also because of the lack of stainless steel production in this era), it cost almost seven taels of silver.

Then, the two sides agreed to come and pick up the goods in seven days.

Then they left the blacksmith shop and returned to their original place.

Soon, Zhao Fuxiang and Zhao Shanchuan, who were buying in a carriage, came back.

The two also bought a lot of things, both food and tools, and almost loaded a small half car.

Yuan was curious, and deliberately asked what was it, but because he spent a lot of money on his side, he didn't say anything.

Everyone got back on the bus, and finally had free time to go to the expo to have a look.

Turning the car around, it headed towards the east of the city.

…………

The full name of the expo is Yangzhou Goods Fair.

Although the name is strange, as the name suggests, there are a lot of good things in it.

Most of the items were brought from the surrounding prefectures.

According to Yu Zhengli, this Yangzhou Goods Expo is the kind of traveling exhibition.

In other words, everything displayed at the expo is unique to Yangzhou, and then after staying in one place for a few days, it will be changed to the next place.

It is said that there are only two fairs like this one a year, but if you miss this time, you will have to wait for the Chinese New Year.

"I heard that this expo has only been working for half a month, and now it's the eighth day, so we have to go over and take a look, the good things in the province have been bought by others," Li said while urging Zhao Fuxiang to hurry up.

Zhao Fuxiang was helpless, "There are not seven days, I'm afraid!" ”

"I can't say that, the things in this expo are the same, and they must be the most good things in the past few days," Li said in a straightforward manner, "I specially brought silver money today, and I heard that there are woolen sweaters from Shangrao County in the fair, so we have to buy one." ”

"He, that thing is precious, didn't Xiao Wu buy two pieces before, you still want it," Zhao Fuxiang was not calm, and hurriedly stopped the Li family.

"Where are two pieces enough to wear, let's buy two more pieces, and then it will be easy to change and wear," Li, as a rich man, has not wanted to miss the benefits of this woolen sweater since the Chinese New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, I also caught up with Zhao Shanyu and came back to bring them two.

The cardigan is light and warm, and it has no taste, which is more comfortable than the hard cotton clothes and smelly duvets at home.

The only pity is that the woolen sweater is one person, and it can only be worn and cannot be taken off, and after wearing it for a while, the smell on the woolen sweater is unpleasant and not easy to wash.

So when she heard about the woolen sweaters at the fair, she made up her mind to buy two more so that she could change them when it got cold.

Zhao Fuxiang......

Zhao Fuxiang had nothing to say, in the end, he still agreed in his heart, so he had to bow his head and hurry silently.

And Zhao Yu on the side listened to the conversation between the two and was thoughtful.

Then, she reached out and pulled Yuan's family, and at the same time whispered to her mother, and waited until the expo to follow her milk.

She also understands her mother's entanglement, and she doesn't know what to buy after kicking the money.

Then just follow her milk, what her milk buys, they buy what, anyway, her milk will definitely not be bad when she buys, they follow and buy, and they can't lose.

Regarding Zhao Yu's words, Yuan nodded in agreement, she did not know as much as Li, and it would not be wrong to follow her mother-in-law.

In this way, without the Li family knowing, the Yuan family and Zhao Yu's mother and daughter directly decided to follow her when the time comes.

………

Soon, after bypassing a few alleys and suddenly opening up their sights, everyone came to the expo being held in Qingping County.

The fair is in an open space in the east of Qingping County.

This place was originally the place where the Qingping County Market was held every time.

After all, there are frequent markets in Qingping County, and they will be held every five days.

Every time it's time it's the turn of the market, people from nearby villages come here to buy and sell things.

Because in recent years, more and more people have moved here, so that the market here is becoming more and more lively.

At present, the original place of the market is occupied by the fair, and when it comes to the market later, it can only continue to expand outward.

So much so that now the eastern part of the country has become a lively and lively appearance.

They came just in time, and today happened to be the day when the market opened.

Li also thought that after visiting the expo, he would go to Zhao Jinyan's house again to see how Zhao Jinyan recovered.

I forgot to mention that a few days ago, when the family was busy, Cheng Xingmeng asked Zhao Yinyan to come over to report the good news to the Li family.

said that Zhao Jinyan gave birth to a boy smoothly, and the mother and son were safe.

But it was said that after Zhao Jinyan and Zhao Yinyan's two families entered the city, they didn't know how to discuss, but they relied on the preferential policies given by Qingping County to buy a house directly together and became neighbors.

Now that the two families are close, when they are fine, Zhao Yinyan will also take care of Zhao Jinyan more.

Zhao Jinyan just gave birth to a son a few days ago, and now they have a family of six, without the mother-in-law, uncle and sister-in-law to stir up the situation, and live a harmonious and beautiful life.

Cheng Xingmeng also relied on his talent status to find a job as a teacher in the school founded by the imperial court, that is, the master, but the name here is different from that in the north.

Cheng Xingmeng's daily life is the students in the teaching hall reading and writing.

If you are not busy, you can take care of your family, and the teacher is very popular, and the silver money is nearly four taels a month, but it is much more than in the north.

Li was also happy in his heart, and only said that his eldest daughter had come to the bitter end this time, and now she would not have to worry about the future.

Because he was going to see his daughter, when he was in the market, Li got out of the car, went directly to the stall selling chickens, ducks and other poultry eggs, and spent some money to buy two old hens and a basket of eggs.

Zhao Yu looked at it and remembered that his cake business also used eggs, so he pushed Yuan's follow.

Yuan Shi reacted, stepped forward, and also bought a basket of eggs.

"Mother, you still have to buy sugar," the cake is not sweet, that is, it has no soul.

It just so happened that there were stalls selling sugar and sugar cane on the side.

Although I haven't eaten sugarcane, I can't help Zhao Yu with a bug in his head.

Effortlessly, I bought a small jar of white sugar, and bought a bundle of sugar cane to put in the ox cart.

A few people continued to walk inside.

In the market, there are all kinds of sellers, but most of them sell vegetables.

Because here, most of the stalls are set up by villagers from various Zhuangzi.

And now it's July, and it's the season when the greens grown in the field are off the shelves.

Thinking that the family can't finish eating, there are hard-working villagers who will pick up good ones to sell in the city.

It's not expensive, it's generally common, a few pennies a small handful.

Buy it back, serve it with eggs, or cut some raw meat, it is also a dish, enough for the adults and children in the family to eat.

Li watched from the sidelines, and if he came across a good one, he would buy some.

As for the Yuan family, under Zhao Yu's instructions, he also bought a lot with the Li family.

For example, common cucumbers, gourds, green beans, cowpeas, eggplants, celery, cauliflower, kale, etc., almost all of them were bought.

There are no vegetables at home, and the land has just been planted, so they eat the pickled eggs and some cold vegetables and pickled vegetables they brought over almost every day these days, or go up the mountain to pick some wild mushrooms and wild vegetables, and they have eaten enough, and it is not bad to change the taste now.

Soon, everyone came to a stall selling fruit.

Li didn't buy it, but Zhao Yu thought it was good, and he pulled Yuan to buy it.

"What is this? Can you eat it? Yuan looked at Yuanbu Longdong's things and was very puzzled.

The vendor who bought the fruit seemed to be used to this, so he only smiled and said, "Of course you can eat it, this is a watermelon from Jingzhou, it is sweet and silky, and it is delicious." ”

Yuan Shi listened and hesitated slightly, because she really hadn't seen this thing.

Some wanted to leave, but seeing that Zhao Yu beside her was still signaling to her, Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then said tentatively, "Then how to sell this thing, how much does it cost?" ”

The vendor patted the watermelon, "One, like this, weighs only four or five catties, only twenty yuan." ”

"Hey, so expensive?" Yuan Shi was taken aback directly, stared at the fruit called watermelon with wide eyes, and said in his heart, with this money, they are enough to buy vegetables for several days.

Yuan plays drums and doesn't want to buy much.

As a result, Zhao Yu was pulling on the side, and he wanted to live or die.

Yuan's ......

As a last resort, Yuan spent fifteen yuan to buy a smaller watermelon.

After buying it, Yuan muttered, "It's so expensive, I don't know if it's delicious." ”

Zhao Yu smiled and didn't speak.

Anyway, in her memory, this watermelon is the most delicious.

After buying the watermelon and putting it in the ox cart, everyone didn't stay too long and continued to walk inside.
