Although he walked far, the laughter behind him could still be faintly heard.

Lin Zhenniang didn't get angry, but said calmly: "People who only know gossip and talk about right and wrong, can only be such idlers for the rest of their lives." ”

Looking sideways at Lin Jing's puzzled gaze, she smiled, "You think, it takes time and energy to gossip." They spend their time and energy on this, so how can they have time to do meaningful things? Just like in your school, those who study well must be those who are immersed in their studies, if they only know how to gossip like those ignorant women just now, how can they become talents?! ”

Seeing Lin Jing nodding, as if she had been taught, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help but smile and touched Lin Jing's head, feeling quite the pleasure of being an eldest sister teaching her younger brother. didn't notice that Lin Dong, who had been keeping his head down behind him, suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a deep gaze, which was quite incomprehensible.

In Lin Zhenniang's memory, although she has the memory of visiting the market, what the little girl cares about and likes is not what Lin Zhenniang wants to know now.

She knew that the Lin family had land in the countryside, and it was currently leased to people, although she didn't know how much, but the annual land rent was the foundation of the Lin family's food and clothing. Moreover, before Lin's father fell ill, he also worked as a gentleman, and the bundle he received plus the ground rent was enough to make the Lin family worry about food and clothing. But now, with the death of Lin's father, a large amount of income has been lost, even if the rent can make ends meet, the quality of life will decline, but it is inevitable.

Although no one let Lin Zhenniang worry about this, Lin Zhenniang herself had to secretly think about it.

Since she recognized the Lin family as her relatives, she had to think of ways for everyone to live. Just like in her previous life, she worked hard, just to make her life better.

There is no shadow from parents, no windfall from heaven, the only thing you can do is to work hard and work hard.

Although Dingtao is a small county, but the business is extremely developed, in fact, Dingtao is almost the entire Shandong Province commercial county, even if it is Jinan Mansion, although much more prosperous than Dingtao, but in Jinan to do business, but one-third are Dingtao people.

It is said that Tao Zhu Gong made a fortune here, and later was worshiped as the god of wealth by the world, and also favored Dingtao County, so Dingtao people rarely lost money in business.

This is naturally a joke, but it is true that Dingtao people can do business and are willing to do business. The small Dingtao ten-mile long street is full of shops. Even on the more remote streets, there are many shops.

Although on the long street, there are many shops, all kinds of shops, but Lin Zhenniang is not looking at this at this time.

On this main street, it is indeed prosperous, there are many merchants, large shops, people shopping side by side, endlessly, and most of the clothes are bright, and there are not a few people who are picked up by cars and horses in and out. If there is an opportunity, doing business here is naturally the most profitable, but it is not within the scope that Lin Zhenniang can consider now.

What Lin Zhenniang wants to see are the transactions that are closest to the lives of ordinary people, that is, the vegetable market, which is why she begged her mother to follow Dongbo out.

As we approached the vegetable market, the noise became even louder, and the surrounding environment was not as neat and clean as on the long street just now, and the smell was naturally cloudy.

Lin Jing was a little unhappy. It's hard to take a break, he didn't come to visit the vegetable market, what's so good about buying vegetables!?

"I thought I could go to the tile shop!" Muttering in a low voice, Lin Jing pursed her lips, a little petty.

Lin Zhenniang raised her eyebrows, but did not answer. It is said that the tile shop is the most lively place, a lot of fun and delicious food, and she also wants to see it, but although it is good to have fun, it is not more important than livelihood.

Entering the vegetable market, Lin Dong, who was originally following them, took two quick steps and walked in front of Lin Zhenniang, so that he led them. Lin Zhenniang knew that Dong Bo also had good intentions, but it was not good to hang around casually by herself, so she could only follow Lin Dong obediently.

Although Lin Jing thought that the vegetable market was noisy, unclean, and smelly and turbid, Lin Zhenniang liked this environment very much. Although it is not exactly the same, she often went to the vegetable market in her previous life, and she still felt that it was very kind.

There are three vegetable markets in Dingtao County, and this one is the closest to the Lin family. On both sides of the entrance of the vegetable market, there are rows of shops, compared to the shops I saw when I passed by the long street just now, the shops here are relatively small, and there is no happy door, let alone singing and selling in front of the door.

If you look closely at the signs, most of these shops sell food-related things. On the left-hand side, there are some rice shops, but these rice rows are subdivided, some sell rice, some sell corn, some sell beans, some sell wheat, and each shop will hang a prismatic banner on the door, with large characters on it.

"Strange, why isn't there a rice shop that sells all the grain?" Lin Zhenniang stared at those rice shops, curious and at the same time, she glanced at the rice shop that sold rice.

I miss the days of eating rice!

In modern times, rice can be found everywhere in both the north and the south. However, the current north is mainly wheat, and the rice transported from the south is expensive, and ordinary people often can afford to eat it. In the past few days, Lin Zhenniang has been eating wheat rice or bean porridge, although this is a good thing in modern times, but she will still get tired of eating it every day.

"What's so strange about this......" Hearing Lin Zhenniang's words, Lin Jing muttered in a low voice, and was glanced at by Lin Zhenniang, and immediately turned her head.

Lin Dong looked back at Lin Zhenniang, although his face was still blank, but he replied patiently, "You have never come out to buy anything before, and it is normal that you don't know much." Let's just talk about this rice shop! There are many kinds of rice they sell, ordinary ones include indica rice, japonica rice, glutinous rice, brown rice, long-grain rice, colored white rice, medium-colored white rice, fragrant rice, red yeast rice, etc., and the good ones are japonica rice, rouge rice, purple fragrant rice, and occasionally Zhuozhou tribute rice, Zengcheng silk miao rice, Yunnan Babao rice, Nancheng Magu rice, Fengxin wicker red, Changshu duck blood glutinous and so on......"

Lin Dong said more than a dozen kinds of rice in one go, and Lin Zhenniang blinked when he heard it. In her previous life, she also worked cooking, so she naturally knew a lot about rice and the like. But now when he heard what Lin Dong said, he had to take a deep breath. IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE WERE SO MANY VARIETIES OF RICE IN ANCIENT TIMES, BUT IN COMPARISON, IT IS SHE, A MODERN PERSON, WHO IS OUT.

"Although these rice shops are all taken from rice merchants in the rice market, Lin Lin finally needs a lot of capital. Moreover, it has always been like this, if you want to sell something, you will sell it......"

Dongbo's last words made Lin Zhenniang almost vomit blood. On the other hand, Lin Jing crossed her fingers and smiled: "It's like those who sell cloth, there are color silk shops, linen shops, brocade shops, cotton cloth shops, silk shops, wiping collar gold shops, raw silk shops, etc., the piece of 'melon seed spring' that my mother bought last month was bought in Zhao Ji Cai Silk Shop......

Lin Jing said happily, not noticing that the corners of Lin Zhenniang's mouth twitched, "Last month?" 'Melon Seed Spring'? ”

What Gua Zichun is talking about is actually Gua Ziluo, Jacquard Luobu, which is more gorgeous than Suluo. The texture is light and thin, and the silk strands are slender, which is a good material for summer clothes, and this melon seed spring, with green horizontal and dark lines, is beautiful and delicate, which is the popular color in the south.

Ruyu is young, loves to dress up, and uses private money to buy good fabrics to make clothes, which is not a big deal, but this last month, isn't it when my father was the most sick? At that time, Chen stayed in front of Lin's father's sickbed day and night, crying so much that his eyes were not red and swollen for a day. At this time, Ruyu actually ......

With a gloomy face, Lin Zhenniang gritted her teeth unconsciously.

Lin Jing was still ignorant, but Lin Dong suddenly coughed, "Little lady, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”

Although Lin Dong's voice was not high, Lin Zhenniang was shocked, her eyes flickered, but her expression eased a little.

What is she angry about? Although it is a grievance for the Chen family. But from another point of view, although Ruyu is affectionate, it is also found by Father Lin. If you have no children at the age of thirty, you have to take a concubine?! Bringing in such a little girl who is more than ten years younger than herself, how can it be so easy to have feelings for you?

Deserve!

cursed hatefully in her heart, Lin Zhenniang sighed softly.

Although I have all the memories of Father Lin, and I know that the dead father actually loves Lin Zhenniang very much, I haven't really seen it, and my feelings are very rusty.

Waving her hand, she didn't really walk into the rice shop, Lin Zhenniang let go of the resentment in her heart, turned her head, and looked at the shop on the other side.

The shops on the other side are mostly selling meat, there are also salt shops, and there are also dry mixing shops. This meat seller is also clearly classified, one sells mutton, one sells beef, and there is a fish shop, and the poultry is killed, but the most eye-catching is the pork shop with three shops in a row.

In front of the pork store, there are three long counters, two of which have slices of pork that have not yet been cut. On the iron hook above, there are two pig heads, five hanging internal organs, three pairs of pig ears, two tails, some intestines, and some meat strips cut into about one or two catties, and there are some burnt pig's trotters on the corner of the cabinet.

The other counter is separated from the counter where the raw meat is released in these two sections, and the cooked meat is covered with white gauze, although it is not very clear, but it is also the various parts of the meat, and there are customers who come to the door, and they are cut and sold as needed, or one piece, or cut into slices, wrapped in oiled paper and handed over to the guests.

This butcher's shop sells both raw and cooked. Although this seems to be a bit contrary to the modern health regulations that require separate sales of raw and cooked, it seems that several other stores also sell in this way, but they are not as prosperous as these pork shops.

First, it is because of the low price of pork, and secondly, it may also have something to do with the shopkeeper's way of making money, right?

Lin Zhenniang looked up at the Liu Ji butcher shop with the word "Liu" hanging, and then saw that although the butcher shop did not personally chop meat for sale, she kept smiling to welcome customers, or handing water or giving up her seat, in short, the young man who kept laughing, couldn't help laughing.

In fact, ancient people were more likely to do business, right? This is the essence of the four words of harmony and wealth, but it has been done at home.
