Liu took a big broom to clean up the vegetable leaves and scraps in the yard. After cleaning up, Lin Xiaowan didn't come up with a reason, and took out the herbs that she had taken back yesterday and spread them on the bamboo strips and put them in the sun to dry.

Guo Chengling lay down for a few days, feeling that he was about to grow hair on his body, and wanted to go out for a walk, but Lin Xiaowan didn't let him.

The wound on his back was too deep, and he had stitches, and if something happened to him, he would have to start all over again, and she didn't want to take the risk.

In order to prevent men from being bored, she took the old couplet paper that she had cleaned up the house before, drew a chessboard by herself, folded small paper bread, and taught Guo Chengling to play animal chess.

Guo Chengling has never seen such a novel gameplay, and he is very interested.

Animal chess is also called beast chess, and there are sixteen chess pieces.

Lin Xiaowan took a brush dipped in ink and wrote words on the folded paper bread of the same size, shape and color, and divided it into two groups according to the size of the words, eight each.

Each side holds a group, and the characters are the same, which are eight animals: elephant, lion, tiger, leopard, wolf, dog, cat, and mouse.

The chessboard is a rectangular flat piece of paper, consisting of a total of 16 squares, horizontal, vertical, and vertical.

The chess pieces are scrambled and placed in the grid, and the two of them turn them over randomly, according to the elephant eats the lion, the lion eats the tiger, the tiger eats the leopard, the leopard eats the wolf, the wolf eats the dog, the dog eats the cat, the cat eats the mouse, and the animal above can also skip the level to eat the animal below, but only the rat can eat the elephant to eat the opponent's chess pieces.

The first team to capture the opposing piece wins.

At first, Guo Chengling had to lose two handfuls, but then he gradually mastered the gameplay, and it was not so easy for Lin Xiaowan to win.

The two fought back and forth on the chessboard for more than a dozen games, and in the end, Guo Chengling won more.

Lin Xiaowan can only admit that this person's head is really smart, take one step and see three steps, but he can't play.

Guo Chengling won the chess, found fun, was in a good mood, and before he knew it, the morning had passed.

At noon, Lin Xiaowan helped Liu add water to the spicy soup left in the morning, put a pot of gnocchi, add seasonings to cook it into a salty gnocchi soup, and sent it to the construction site.

Although this meal was not as rich as in the morning, the meal for nothing was already cheap, and at noon the workers went back to rest, drank two bowls of soup here, and then went home to eat a cake to be full, and saved a ration for the family.

Not to mention that the pimple soup tastes good, they are still worried about the taste in the morning, not to mention how beautiful it is to be able to drink a bowl of satisfying their cravings at this time.

Liu cooked a pot of gnocchi kindly, and the man who was not wealthy at home drank more bowls of soup and didn't eat cakes when he went back.

A group of men are snoring and snoring in a hot manner.

When he started building the wall, Lin Zhen was busy, and he had to supervise the construction site every day. When Liu arrived at the meal, he went to bring him food.

Lin Xiaowan took the time to go to the county by herself, originally Guo Chengling wanted to go with her, but Lin Xiaowan didn't agree, the mountain road was bumpy, and it would be bad to open the wound again.

Lin Xiaowan still rode back and forth in Uncle Wu's ox cart, and it was not okay to let her walk, but she was afraid that she would not be able to come back for a day.

When she arrived in the county, she went straight to the major pharmacies, looking for the missing medicinal materials one by one, but she was frequently disappointed.

Two things were found, but the remaining two scarce medicinal herbs were not found in all major pharmacies.

Coming out of the last pharmacy, Lin Xiaowan collapsed her shoulders in frustration.

The shopkeeper's words are still in my ears.

"Madam, we really don't have this medicine, no matter how many times you ask, I can't conjure it for you. These two medicinal materials are already scarce, and only the eunuch's house can collect them, and they are not sold in pharmacies, let alone pharmacies in small places like ours. You'd better go and ask somewhere else. ”

Without medicine, there is no follow-up treatment, Lin Xiaowan is a little sad and helpless.

The shopkeeper said so, and he could only try his luck.

Thinking of the clothes on the wife Yao she saw that day, Lin Xiaowan felt that she might be pointing out some way.

Temporarily suppressing these thoughts, Lin Xiaowan went to Huaxi Pavilion.

It was the shopkeeper Tong who received her, and Lin Xiaowan asked him to help send a message to Mrs. Yao, and help inquire about the two kinds of medicinal materials that were missing, and the remuneration was good.

The shopkeeper Tong knew that his wife and the little woman were going to talk about business, and now Lin Xiaowan had a request for them, and they would have room for bargaining in terms of profits in the future, so they happily agreed.

After solving the matter of medicinal materials, Lin Xiaowan picked a few more pieces of cloth.

I had always wanted to buy two better materials to make underwear, but I never found the opportunity, but this time she took this opportunity to carefully compare and choose a delicate and cheap material. I also picked out the material for the family to make the coat, Liu is a light daisy material, Lin Zhen is dark blue, and Guo Chengling is also navy blue. Lin Xiaowan also picked a horse for herself, which was rouge-colored, a little heavier than Liu's color.

I plan to go back to make a skirt, and in modern times, she likes to buy Hanfu, but after wearing it, because she has no money in her hand, she doesn't have the heart to dress up.

In the past few days, Guo Chengling has given her all her net worth, and her business with the Yao family is also stable, so she remembered to make clothes.

After picking out the materials, she saw the headdress seller next to her, picked a silver hairpin for Liu, and bought a crown for Lin Zhen and Guo Chengling.

Everything is decided to buy after asking the price, so it is not expensive, but it adds up to a lot.

After the shopkeeper Tong gave her a 20% discount, she also had to pay more than five taels of silver.

A small part of the cloth was used, mainly Liu's silver hairpins were sufficient, the workmanship was also fine, the price was not low, and the crown and earrings were very cheap in comparison.

Lin Xiaowan was a little painful, but she still paid without hesitation.

You can make money again when it's gone, and isn't making money just for enjoyment? If you are not willing to spend money and only save money, that is putting the cart before the horse, Lin Xiaowan's concept of consumption has always been like this - money, you can earn more after you spend it, and the more you spend, the more you are motivated to earn.

So in her previous life, even if she lived alone, she bought a house of 200 square meters. The vegetables and fruits she eats are the best, and the clothes are bought in the season and changed in the season, her salary is not low, and in addition to the money she regularly sends to the welfare institute every month, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, she can also save a lot.

Even when she arrived at the Lin family, she was so poor, she couldn't bear to wronged herself, thinking about making money.

Only when she makes money can she justifiably come up with more good things.

The shopkeeper Tong wrapped the cloth and accessories for her and put them together, put them in the back basket for her, and Lin Xiaowan thanked her and went out.

She went to a grocery store selling oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and weighed two catties of brown sugar.

This body is already weak, so when she comes to relatives, she always has abdominal pain like a knife, Lin Xiaowan experienced it once before she got married, and the days are approaching, so the brown sugar is prepared in advance.

It's not that brown sugar is not sold in supermarkets, but modern things are added with various additives, but they are not as good as ancient simple handmade.

The brown sugar is still lumpy, and it doesn't look good, but it has a strong brown sugar flavor.

Lin Xiaowan bought a lot, and she could also make brown sugar cakes to eat when she went back.

It was already noon at this time, Lin Xiaowan found a small stall and asked for a bowl of wontons, and when she left, she packed two buns, planning to take them back to Liu's.

After eating, she went to the market meat stall and cut a pound of meat and bought a few stick bones.

The butcher who bought the meat obviously remembered her, and happily asked her if she wanted the pig to go into the water and give her a cheap.

Lin Xiaowan waved her hand and refused, that thing is cheap, but it's just not easy to clean up, Liu's smell of finishing her body last time made her disgusting, and Lin Xiaowan herself didn't want to toss anymore.

Besides, she has some money in her hand now, so she doesn't need to buckle the rope like this.

After cutting the meat, Lin Xiaowan inquired again where there were chicks for sale, and the butcher pointed her in the direction.

Lin Xiaowan walked along the path pointed out by the butcher, and sure enough, she saw someone selling chicks and ducklings.

She didn't dare to buy more, so she picked out ten chicken cubs and ten duck cubs, and bought a small bamboo basket with the person next to her to put it up and carry it with one hand.

The place where she was waiting for the car was still the old place, Lin Xiaowan came back early, and she was bored sitting in the car, so she chatted with Uncle Wu.

But basically she asked, and Uncle Wu answered. For example, looking at the temperament, Uncle Wu is not the same as the villagers, what did he do before? And what did you ask again?

After a long time, other people came back one after another.
