68. Spiritual spring water nourishes people
Song Lingxue and Yao Dazhuang chatted a few more words about the chores at home, which was regarded as polite, and went to explain a few words to their two sons, and said goodbye, and then hurried to the town while the sun was not too vicious.
Song Lingxue knew that only the West Market could set up a stall in Nahuaihua Town, and it was not something that anyone could put up if they wanted to, so they needed to go to the office at the east gate of the town to register, pay a few pennies and get a sign.
If it is an ordinary countryman who comes here occasionally, selling a mountain or vegetables and eggs, it is naturally not used, as long as it does not occupy the road by setting up stalls everywhere, but if you want to do some small business selling food, you still need to have a fixed place, otherwise every time you come to look for it, and there is no sign to occupy the position, the stall that people used to do business here is naturally unwilling.
Song Lingxue didn't want to create so much trouble for those few pennies, and besides, she and Aunt Liu's family could put their business together and set up a stall.
Song Lingxue had never been to Zhendong to do business, but she asked the young man at the door of the store along the way, and then she found the officer's room.
This is a small courtyard with two entrances not far from the east gate of the town, in front of which is a plaque with several big characters of "Huaihua Town Gate Office", it is very deserted, after entering only a person sitting in front of a long large table, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a handful of goatees, wearing a thin silk straight embellished, looks like a showman's dress.
Song Lingxue had a little smile on her face, and politely explained her intention in the past, the middle-aged Xiucai was also kind, and she was not verbose after listening to Song Lingxue's words, she directly took out a thick book-like book from the bookcase on the left hand side and opened it, pointed at it for a long time, and then said: "There are a few vacant seats near the dock in the West Market, and the land is a little off, but it only charges five cents a month, okay?" ”
Huaihua Town also had a wharf before, earlier Yao Dazhuang and their father and son often used to work part-time in the slack time, but later the water in the Huishui River flowed less here, and the water in several small rivers nearby, because of the drought, was less and less, so the wharf was temporarily stopped, and many merchants who transported goods either changed their routes or chose land carriages to pull goods, and many people in the town lost their livelihood for a while, so the place near the wharf can be said to be the most desolate place in the West Market, and those who do business would rather pay a few pennies moreand also by the east.
Song Lingxue heard that the booth fee was only five cents a month, how could she disagree, and besides, the fragrance of wine was not afraid of deep alleys, not to mention that their stinky tofu was on the sidelines, even five miles away, and she didn't believe that others couldn't smell it.
So Song Lingxue happily paid five cents, received a wooden sign, and registered her and Aunt Liu's names there, and then left here with a smile and went to the West Market to see the place.
Compared with the desertion in the East Market, the West Market is lively here, most of the people who come to visit the town are still some low-level people, the shops in the East Market, many of them sell valuables, in addition to the necessary firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and some groceries, the rest are affordable and convenient from the West Market, all kinds of snacks and drinks, both cheap and affordable.
Song Lingxue ignored these dazzling bustles for the time being, walked straight inside, looked at the position on the sign, and finally stopped at a relatively backward place, the location here is not small, but there are no other people doing business before and after, the nearest one is also a patchy lady five steps away, who is selling vegetables, but the various dishes on her stall look fresh, but unfortunately because the stall is a little biased, no one cares for a while.
It was really not easy for Song Lingxue to see her, she should have come over early in the morning, and now she didn't sell much food, so she went over and picked a few dishes that were not available at home, and bought two catties of the same.
The eldest lady saw that Song Lingxue bought so many of her own vegetables at once, and almost half of them went down, she was very happy, and she was afraid that she would not be able to take it, so she directly gave her a willow basket.
This kind of home-made wicker basket is only two pennies even if it is new, not to mention that her willow basket is very worn, and she still earns two pennies!
So the eldest lady was embarrassed to shirk for a long time, but was still rejected by Song Lingxue with a smile, and said that they would also come here to do business in two days, and they would have to rely on her to take care of it then.
This is also a polite remark, this lady naturally knows it, but she just said that Song Lingxue is a good person, most of the people in the village are very simple, and there are only a few words to praise people back and forth, and they don't understand it anymore.
Song Lingxue bought some brown sugar and cheap spices, and wanted to put some when she wanted to boil sugar water, so that burning fairy grass would be more sweet and delicious.
I didn't meet the carriage of the Seventh Master here, so Song Lingxue simply ate a bowl of somen noodles as lunch at the noodle stall, and rushed home in the hot day at noon.
When she got home, she was sweating, uncomfortable, and her head hurt a little, but fortunately, Shi Lan gave her half a basin of water to wash her face, and wiped her back with a wet handkerchief.
"What were you guys talking about?" Song Lingxue then remembered that when she first arrived home, the family may have just finished eating, Shi Yu took a few children to play with stones on the bamboo mat laid under the grass shed, and the three adults of Liu, He and Shi Lan were chatting about something, and the yard was full of laughter for a while.
"Mother, we are talking about the recent love of my mother, so that the food at home is getting better and better, not to mention that the children look a lot stronger, even a few of us, it seems that the complexion is also a lot better." He is a good talker, and when he heard Song Lingxue's question, he hurriedly spoke first.
"Yes, I've seen my eldest sister's skin get whiter and whiter recently, and she looks so tender that she can pinch out the water." Liu is a person who basically doesn't speak flattering words, and she says this because Shi Lan is indeed better than before during this time.
Song Lingxue looked at the eldest daughter, Shi Lan, who was originally fairer than the girls in the village, but now she is even more white and red, and her facial features are more beautiful, and she looks at the skin of her two daughters-in-law much better, and the faces of several children no longer have the same color and malnutrition as before.
Song Lingxue smiled with satisfaction, it seems that her changes in the past few days are also real, her skin is better, and her body is healthier than before, this spiritual spring water is really a good thing to raise people, and she is not like a thief these days, she secretly poured out the original water in the tank in the middle of the night and replaced it with spiritual spring water.
