The next day, Luo Shi carried the medicinal herbs on his back, and brought the roe deer meat to the bitter water and shouted.

She had only been standing on the side of the street for half an hour, and then a man dressed as a martial artist came up to ask for the price. The price of radish is not low, but the roe deer is still small, the meat is fresh and tender, and the shengzi is very clean, after a few hesitations, the man still gritted his teeth and bought it.

With the newly acquired silver, Luo Shi picked two indigo three-shuttle cloth and a lotus muslin cloth from the clothing shop, but she was still startled when asked about the price of cotton wool, and after weighing, she could only buy some rags to make do with the old cotton to make the lining of the cotton clothes.

When there are conditions in the coming day, buy new cotton and new wadding to fill in.

Luo Shi asked Shengzi to wait outside the clothing shop, but when she went out with a stack of cloths, she looked left and right, but she couldn't see others, and said secretly in her heart: Where did you run again? What about waiting outside the door?

At this time, there was the sound of striking iron in his ears, and Luo Shi thought that he must be on the side, so he followed the sound and found a tall burly man squatting on the ground, holding his cheeks with his hands, and watching the master of the iron shop sharpen his knife and axe for a moment.

"Xu Sheng......" Luo Shiyin shouted behind him.

Shengzi's spine stiffened, only to realize that he had made a mistake, he lowered his head and did not dare to look, depending on how she called him, he pretended to be stupid and deaf.

Luo Shi didn't say much else, squatted down next to him, spread out his palms, stretched out in front of him, and said indifferently:

"Take it, the right prize, the wrong penalty, let's say okay"

Shengzi had a strong face, his eyes were full of distress, but he still slowly took out two broad beans from his arms and reluctantly put them in the palm of Luo Shi's hand.

Withdrawing his hand, he didn't forget to sip the taste left on his fingers, and looked at Luo Shi's eyes full of grievances.

The broad beans in the palm of Luo's astringent hand still carried the residual warmth of Shengzi's body, she picked one up, and under the gaze of his pitiful eyes, she ruthlessly threw it into her mouth, smacking and eating happily, smiling the smile on the corner of her mouth, she pretended to be angry and said:

"A man will do what he says, and if he is punished, he will be punished, look at your performance for a while, if I want to be satisfied, I will reward you with three big broad beans at night!"

Shengzi nodded solemnly, took the cloth under Luo Shi's arm diligently, unloaded the backpack behind her and put it on his own back, and then followed her honestly, no longer looking left and right, thinking about playing with joy.

With such an iron tower to escort her, she even more petite on the side, carrying the remaining roe deer meat, bypassed the entire street, and arrived outside the door of the Rejuvenation Hall.

Tian Niu was on crutches and was drying medicinal herbs outside the shop, when she saw Luo Shi and Shengzi coming, she greeted her with a smile:

"Lady, why is it so late, I still don't come here today, this is all over for dinner, have you eaten?"

"Not yet, I was about to borrow your stove for use, yesterday I caught a live roe deer, and I just sold the meat to come, so it was late, and there were still some tendon meat left in my hand, to add a dish to Dr. Zhang."

Tian Niu's smile was simple, and there was a pair of shallow pear vortices on her round face, and she shouted to the hall:

"Dad, the benefactor is here!"

Tian Niu's words fell, and Dr. Zhang walked out of the hall with his steps, holding a white porcelain jar in his hand, pasting a triangular red seal, on which there were three words of jade face paste written with a brush.

Luo Shi told Shengzi to take off the back basket, put it on the ground, and said to Dr. Zhang:

"I was in a hurry, and I only picked this basket, more schisandra and wormwood, oh, and a whole piece of Poria cocos - you can see the wrong one."

Doctor Zhang glanced at it, then nodded:

"Yes, yes, there is a hard worker, it would be good to be able to pick these in winter, I will take it into the hall and weigh it in two, and settle it with you according to the price...... You can keep this jar of jade ointment, last time you came and went in a hurry, although I thought of it in my heart, I didn't have time to say, don't be surprised, I see that the wound on your face should be a scar left by the fire, this jade ointment is the most effective"

Luo Shi refused to take it, because she knew in her heart that the skin on her face was delicate, but she was burned like this, even if it was placed in modern times, it would not be possible to go to the plastic surgery hospital without a big 100,000, let alone ancient times. But since he said that the jade cream is effective and obviously worth a lot of money, how can she accept it?

Tian Niu saw Luo Shi's resignation, and said happily: "Benefactor lady, you can accept it, my father is such a person, he can't look down on it, he won't want half a grain of rice, if he wants to, no matter how good the thing is, it's not worth mentioning, this jade paste is still ...... by my father in the capital."

"Tian Niu!"

Doctor Zhang interrupted her next words, then turned around, looked at Luo Shi and continued with a smile: "Lady, just accept it, it's not worth a few dollars, you saved Tian Niu back, I can't get anything decent to thank, if you don't want to ask me to do something for your injury, I can't go away!" ”

Holding the porcelain vase, it was cold to the touch, and Luo Shi couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it with gratitude. Then, together with Dr. Zhang, she picked up the basket of medicinal herbs and roe deer meat and walked to the shop.

Shengzi accompanied Dr. Zhang to arrange the medicinal materials in the hall, weighing the catties into two, and Luo Shi went to the back stove to be busy.

She promised to do a good job of Dr. Zhang and Tian Niu's three-day meal, and she calculated it before going to bed yesterday, but fortunately, the weather is cold now, and she is not afraid of spoilage, so she uses more salty oil to collect juice, and makes some cabbage sauce marinade, which can be steamed and eaten.

Divide the roe deer meat into two piles, eat it fresh today, blanch it and stir-fry it with clear oil; The other is cut into meat slices, salted in the vegetable jar with pepper and salt for three or four days, made into salted meat and then steamed.

In addition to the bacon meat, she also used oil to collect the juice, fried the eggplant in a jar, and baked a few cooking cakes and steamed buns, so that the skin was burnt and burnt, and it tasted fragrant and crispy, and after a long time, it would not be hard and crumbling.

Preparing today's four dishes and one soup, Luo Shi called Dr. Zhang and Tian Niu to eat, although Shengzi had eaten a cake on the way, but he was strong and big, and he was hungry for a long time, seeing that Luo Shi had made so many delicious dishes, he swallowed his saliva violently, staring at the vegetable soup on the table of the Eight Immortals and was stunned-

Tian Niu looked at his appearance, leaned forward and backward happily, and laughed: "Brother Shengzi is so blessed, there is such a capable lady, looking at his coveted appearance, you don't need to taste it to know that the taste must be good."

Placing chopsticks and cloth dishes, the four of them sat down and ate a beautiful meal, all satisfied.

After the meal, while putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Luo Shi explained to Tian Niu the pickled meat and vegetables stored in the rice cupboard, and when the matter was finished, Dr. Zhang took out three strings of money and handed them to Luo Shi.

"This is the money for medicinal herbs, and the remuneration for the lady to prepare meals for my family, it's hard work."

Luo Shi took it with a smile, and said that she would come back to prepare food and send medicinal herbs in three days, and she wanted to leave, but she suddenly thought of something, so she asked:

"I don't know which one in the town collects leather goods, Shengzi will hunt and make raw hides, and now I have a roe deer skin with good skin, and I want to exchange it for some silver money for the New Year."

Dr. Zhang pondered for a while: "Eat less bulk goods, if the lady wants to do long-term business, you have to find a big family, I remember that there is a leather merchant in the north to collect, last year I gave his wife a doctor, there are a few old faces left, tomorrow is empty, I will run for the lady to ask it!" ”

What else can I say, Dr. Zhang's family has taken care of it so far, I am grateful, very sincere, and I am busy holding my hands and thanking him.

After a few more gossips, seeing that it was getting late, Luo Shi said goodbye and rushed back to Kushui Township with Shengzi.

*

Because I talked to my daughter-in-law about asking someone to make cotton clothes, I just got home, and there were already three or five women standing in the yard, holding peanuts and waiting for her to return home.

Seeing Shengzi carrying a stack of cloth into the hospital, the full hoarding daughter-in-law knew that everything was going well today, the medicinal herbs were exchanged for money, and the roe deer meat was also sold.

She stepped forward happily and said with Luo Shi: "Wait for you for a long time, these are all good needleworkers in the village, there is no work in winter, they are idle covering their feet on the kang, it is better to come to your place to help, take care of a dinner, everyone knows that you have a good dish, look at the day of the rising grandma white meal will become"

Luo Shi opened the door, invited a few aunts and uncles to enter the door, and said with a smile:

"But two cotton clothes, it's really hard for all the aunts, it is needless to say that the rice is managed, I will give you another salary, although it is not much, but it is also a truth, how can you ask someone to contribute in vain, everyone should say that my young daughter-in-law is not sensible"

Hearing this, the women were all comforted, and said in their hearts: Shengzi is stupid, but the ugly woman she bought is a person on the road, who does things properly and speaks smoothly, so that people can't find mistakes.

Walking into the room, Luo Shi vacated the kang and put the cloth bought today on the bed, the indigo-colored three-shuttle cloth was given to Shengzi, and the lotus-colored muslin cloth was kept for herself.

The daughter-in-law took out the needlework basket and the ruler, first compared the shengzi, cut and sew, and the hands and feet were quick - watching the women thread the needles and threads, the stitches were meticulous, and they did the work in their hands while gossiping, and Luo Shi admired it very much.

When he was busy, the door was pushed open, and a new daughter-in-law came in.

Luo Shi looked at it, it was actually Que Rong - aside from Luo Shi herself, Que Rong may be the best one of the three to buy a wife, she was very early to accept her fate, respectfully served her in-laws, served her father-in-law, I heard that cooking and needlework skills are very good, and now everyone in the village envies Shanzi's family to buy a good daughter-in-law, this price is earned.

"Is it the Banyan here?"

She put down the clothes in her hand and got off the kang, took the hand of the banyan and pulled her into the house, turned her head and said to Luo Shi:

"The needlework of the banyan is really good, when it comes to making new clothes in your family, she said that she is close to you all the way, and she must come to help"

Luo Shi smiled on her face, but she didn't care about the word "close", she was wary of the banyan, and felt that this woman was scheming and selfish, and she had found out on the way to Liangzhou.

After arriving in Kushui Township together, the two of them did not interfere with the river water, and they planned for themselves by means of scheming, Luo Shi had nothing to say, if the calculation came to her, it would be two different things.

Since it was a matter of the daughter-in-law, she had no reason to refute people's faces, so she generously invited someone in, poured tea over, and said with a warm smile:

"Your home is at the entrance of the village, and it's far away all the way, and the road is cold and windy, so let's drink a cup of hot tea."

Flattered to take the tea, with a gentle and weak appearance, she said timidly: "Sister doesn't have to treat me as an outsider, you take care of me so much all the way here, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died at the head of the carriage......"

As she spoke, her eyes were red, and she was a little at a loss, touching the carriage? Is there such a thing?

The daughter-in-law was kind-hearted, and when she saw Luo Shi's embarrassed expression, she hurriedly opened the conversation, and she was relieved:

"We women, we have to marry a good man, teach our husbands and children, support our in-laws, and we are at home wherever we go, since we have arrived in Liangzhou, we will live a good life, no worse than Tongzhou! I think Shanzi is a hurtful person, so don't worry! ”

"What my aunt said is that since I am with Shanzi, I must live a good life with him"

took out the handkerchief in his arms, lowered his head and nodded a little tears, Que Rong choked and said: "Those who are here today are all capable aunts and uncles in the village, although Que Rong is the new daughter-in-law, but I also want to ask the aunts to refer to it and give an idea together."

Luo Shi squinted at it, the look of doubt in her eyes was obvious, and after colliding with the eyes of the banyan, the banyan avoided it without a trace, and turned to look at the daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law waved her hand and said, "What do you say, what difficulties do you have, let's help you think of it."

Nodding, Finberry slowly spoke:

"That's right, I'm from Tongzhou, where I started growing spicy seeds last year, and that thing is spicier than dogwood, and it's a very profitable business to make spicy dishes and sell them for money. There is a foreign man in Niujia Village, with spicy dishes made of chili peppers, not to mention building a brick house, but also entering the city to open a spicy vegetable shop, making money every day, and the business is very good! I worked in a spicy food workshop for her shop at the time, and I knew that making that spicy dish was very simple, but people didn't expect it."

Luo Xian put down the teapot in his hand, looked for the corner of the kang, sat cross-legged, and stared at the banyan with a smile.

Que Rong's heart tightened, and he asked tentatively:

"My sister is also from Tongzhou, so she must know about the lady's snack shop...... I don't know if you know the proprietor girl? ”
