Chapter 3: The Town
When Zhao Daya was called up by Li Orion, it was still dark, and Zhao Daya felt that she had slept for a few minutes, and she couldn't sleep nervously in the first half of the night, and she fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night.
In fact, there is a distance between the two, one sleeps next to the bed, and the other sleeps against the wall, and the distance between them can sleep with another person.
"Xianggong, I'm so sleepy."
Zhao Daya has accepted the facts, and it has become more and more natural to shout Xianggong.
"Then I'll carry you on my back, and when we get to the main road, there will be ox carts to the town."
Li Orion couldn't open his eyes when he looked at Zhao Daya, and he didn't know how big clothes to buy her, so he could only squat down, turn his back to Zhao Daya, and let Zhao Daya climb on his back.
And Zhao Daya, who didn't wake up, of course agreed with Li Orion's suggestion. Without saying a word, he climbed on Li Orion's back, and found a good position, lay on Li Orion's back and fell asleep again. Li Orion felt Zhao Daya's relaxation, and suddenly had a feeling of raising a daughter, this feeling can't be said to be good or bad, but now it can only be like this.
Li Orion carried Zhao Daya on his back, and carried a few pheasants, hares and big roe deer in his hands, and walked out very easily.
The sky was still gray, and by the light of the stars, I could barely see the road. And Li Orion seemed to be very familiar with this road, and strode forward without hindrance.
When Zhao Daya woke up, he had already arrived in the town, and Li Orion was discussing business with the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
"Yo, is this your sister-in-law? Why did you bring it to the market today? ”
This shopkeeper obviously doesn't have much eyesight, the two of them obviously don't look like each other at all, and they can be said to be brothers and sisters, which is also amazing.
"My lady, shopkeeper Tang, then these prey are still bought for you at the old price, and I have to buy a few clothes for my wife."
Li Orion ignored the surprise and curiosity in the eyes of the shopkeeper Tang, took the money and left.
Two pheasants, two hares, and a big roe deer and a fox skin were sold for a total of twenty or thirty yuan, and the fox skin price was the highest, accounting for one tael, and those few game meat were only sold for one or two or thirty yuan, which made Zhao Daya instantly feel that it was better to sell meat than to sell skin.
Out of the restaurant, Zhao Daya was embarrassed to let Li Orion carry it, and struggled to get down, so Zhao Daya grabbed Li Orion's sleeve and walked.
Passing by a bun shop, Zhao Daya's uncompetitive stomach screamed.
"Gollum ......"
"Boss, here are five vegetarian buns and three meat buns."
Li Orion didn't ask Zhao Daya, and directly asked the boss of the bun to make eight buns.
"Okay, this little brother is so good to your sister!"
The boss of the bun wrapped the bun in oiled paper and handed it to Li Orion.
"A total of eleven cents, thank you, go slowly, don't send it."
This time, Li Orion didn't explain again, and led Zhao Daya away after giving the money.
Zhao Daya held back her saliva, cautiously peeked at Li Orion's face, and was treated as a brother and sister again, would she be annoyed and angry and lose her!
"Xianggong, they are all blind, we don't look like each other at all, and I'm thirteen years old, and I'm also a big girl."
"Huh? Are you really thirteen? ”
Li Orion didn't care about what the boss of the bun said at all, he just wanted to find a place for Zhao Daya to sit down and eat the bun. Hearing Zhao Daya say that she was thirteen years old, she was really surprised, she really didn't look like a six-year-old child at most.
"I was born in the winter of Tianqing, and now it is the thirteenth year of Tianqing, and it will be my birthday in a few months, why is it not thirteen years old?"
Zhao Daya was afraid that Li Orion would not believe it.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask me about them, and you can go to the temple to see the family tree."
Zhao Daya stood anxiously in front of Li Orion, her face flushed.
"Poof...... I don't believe it, it's just that you're too thin to see it, eat it, it's not hot anymore. ”
The two of them happened to stop at a tea shop, and there was a large horizontal log on the side where people could sit.
"Thank you."
Zhao Daya, who was hungry early, also decided to fill her stomach first before taking the bun unceremoniously, and took out the meat in one bite, and there was still meat juice seeping into the bun skin. The buns are not as small and delicate as in modern times, one is almost the size of an adult's palm, and the skin and filling account for half of each.
After Zhao Daya finished eating one, she looked up and found that Li Orion was eating vegetarian buns, and the filling was pickled cabbage.
"Xianggong, I want to eat yours, let's change it."
In fact, Zhao Daya's favorite is spicy buns, the spicier the better, and the vegetarian buns in Li Orion's hand have chili peppers, but meat buns do not. But Li Orion felt that his little lady was very considerate, and the daughter-in-law he bought for five taels seemed to be not bad.
After Zhao Daya and Li Orion exchanged a bun, Zhao Daya really felt that the spicy bun was the most delicious!
After eating the buns, Li Orion took Zhao Daya into a cloth shop, and the purpose of entering the door was all kinds of fabrics, and on the left was hanging ready-to-wear clothes, and on the right was all kinds of embroidery.
"What does this little brother need? Our shop is the most complete cloth shop in town! ”
After the shopkeeper sitting at the counter saw Li Orion and the two, he warmly entertained Li Orion and the two, not at all like watching people get off the plate as said on TV.
"Is there anything for her to wear?"
Li Orion glanced at the ready-to-wear clothes cursoryly, pointed to Zhao Daya and asked the shopkeeper.
"Yes, but in the backyard, I'll bring it to you, wait a minute."
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop swept Zhao Daya's eyes up and down, and after basically determining Zhao Daya's size, he went to the backyard to get his clothes, not worrying at all that no one in the shop was watching and someone had stolen something.
"Little brother, what do you think of these pieces?"
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop came back after a while, with a few more clothes for girls of different colors in his hand. There are yellow and green, and the fabrics are all coarse cloth, which shows that this shopkeeper has brains.
"Which do you prefer?"
Li Orion directly asked Zhao Daya which one he liked.
Zhao Daya took a closer look at the clothes in the hands of the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, and picked a set of bright red and a set of dark green, not because Zhao Daya likes these two colors, but because these two colors are dirty. In the future, she will definitely have to do farm work, and it is impossible to buy those yellow, yellow, powdery and dirty clothes, which are difficult to wash and easy to fade.
"Xianggong, can I buy a few more feet of cloth and needlework to go back?"
In fact, as soon as Zhao Daya came in, he saw the embroidery on the right, not that it was not good-looking, but that Zhao Daya found that none of those embroiderers used Shu embroidery, let alone any double-sided embroidery.
Before Zhao Daya died, her grandmother was a descendant of Shu embroidery, and she was always brought up by her grandmother. When she was a child, she didn't go to school to read before she picked up the embroidery needle to learn Shu embroidery, and later she also went to learn double-sided embroidery, not to mention the embroidery, but the embroidered works can still be seen.
"Okay."
Li Orion didn't ask Zhao Daya why he bought needlework and cloth, and nodded directly.
"I want to buy a few feet of that, shopkeeper, how to sell it?"
Zhao Daya decided to embroider a few purse handkerchiefs to sell, someone would definitely buy them.
"This is silk cloth, and one foot costs eighty wen."
The shopkeeper didn't expect that a dusty little girl would want to buy silk cloth, and he didn't have much hope.
"Shopkeeper, do you collect embroidery?"
