"What do you two guests want?" Xiao Er quickly walked over and asked.

"Stir-fry two side dishes, ask for a soup, and then, ask for a pound of beef, do you have sugar water?" Jiang Qian asked.

"Great! For sugar water, we have rock sugar pear, white fungus lotus seeds, and red and mung bean syrup, which one do you want? ”

"I want rock sugar pears." Jiang Yuanyuan said, "Sister Qian, do you want red bean water?" ”

"Hmmm! I want red bean water. Thank you! Ah, by the way, there is still rice, first serve sugar water, we still have companions, and when our companions come, we will add vegetables and serve them, and now we will not serve them. Jiang Qian said.

"Great! If two of your friends come, say hello and we'll serve the food! Xiao Er said, turned around and went to greet the other guests.

"How did you think of coming to the inn to eat?" Xiao Er left, Jiang Yuanyuan asked Jiang Qian, they usually go directly to a nearby stall to eat a bowl of noodles or wontons for seven or eight yuan, and rarely come to this kind of inn to eat.

"It's okay, I'm just going to have a meal, haven't I been collecting apples for a farmer for a while! They recently bought the apples and gave me their wages, and I wonder if I have the wages to invite you to a meal! Now that the money is in hand, I will take this opportunity to come out and invite you to dinner! Jiang Qian smiled and patted her money bag.

"Really! But I heard my mother say that the food in the inn is so expensive! Eating here, will you run out of money? Jiang Yuanyuan lay on the table and said cautiously, "Why don't we divide this meal equally, I also have some money!" ”

"It's okay!" Jiang Qian grinned, "I earned three taels of silver!" I told my mother that there was only one tael of silver, and she only received 500 yuan! ”

"Wow, that's really many!" Jiang Yuanyuan was surprised, three taels of silver is almost a year's expenses for a family of three for half a year, and it is only about ten yuan a day to work part-time, how long does it take to have three taels of silver!

"No! The main reason is that this year's apple harvest is good, they make applesauce, and the harvest apples are paid according to the number of apples collected by one person, and then the applesauce is calculated separately, and the salary of applesauce is more, there are 30 yuan a day, I followed the apple, and then secretly learned to make applesauce, so I followed and made applesauce, so I received two jobs! In addition, I bought it better this year, and the house gave me more money, and I was taken care of and rewarded with 500 Wen! Jiang Qian smiled secretly.

"I secretly asked, if you have a meal here, just ordinary dishes, at most only one or two silver! I'm thinking about a few of us, at most we won't eat two taels of silver, don't worry, if the money is not enough, just wait for your sister to come out! Jiang Qian covered her mouth and said with a smile, Jiang Yuanyuan was also a little excited when she heard it, and the corners of her mouth were hooked high, very happy.

When she was a child, she occasionally followed her father and mother to the county town, she would always pass by these inns, although she also knew that the meals in these inns were very simple home-cooked meals, but she still wanted to come in and eat, to be able to eat a meal here, it was her wish when she was a child, and now she can sit here and eat, it is her wish when she was a child, she is very looking forward to it, and she is very excited.

"The sugar water for the two of you is good!" Xiao Er walked through the crowd with a plate, he put the plate on the table, and put the two bowls of sugar water on the plate on the table, "Two slow use, if you need anything, just call me." ”

Saying that, Xiao Er left quickly, Jiang Yuanyuan looked at the bowl of sugar water in front of her, and couldn't help but smile quietly, she and Jiang Qian looked at each other and smiled, took a spoon and tasted it, and after drinking this mouthful, the two couldn't help laughing again.

"Actually!" Jiang Yuanyuan leaned over to Jiang Qian and whispered, "I don't think this sugar water is good!" ”

"I think so too!" Jiang Qian grinned, "But I'm still satisfied!" ”

The two girls were very happy for this little bowl of sugar water in the inn.

"Ah, I saw Jiang Xuan and them, I'll call them in, you sit down!" Jiang Qian said, put down the spoon and walked to the door, "Jiang Xuan, this way!" ”

Carrying Jiang Xuan and them in and sitting down, Jiang Xuan's face was still full of surprise, and he was vaguely excited.

"Why did you come here to eat! It's expensive, we're not going to be kicked out, are we? ”

"Sister Qian said that she would invite us to eat some side dishes here." Jiang Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes, "Look, the sugar water I just drank, in fact, I feel that this sugar water tastes very ordinary, but I'm so excited to eat it here!" ”

"Sister, do you really want to invite us to eat here?" Jiang Xuan still couldn't believe it.

"It's okay, I can still afford the side dishes, ask Xiao Er to order two more dishes." We asked for two plates of side dishes and a bowl of soup. Little two! Jiang Qian said, and then turned her eyes to Sheng Rong, who was sitting motionless, "Do you want to drink some sugar water or something?" ”

"No thanks!" Sheng Rong said, his eyes turned around in this hotel, and when he saw the excited three sisters in front of him, his heart was a little abrupt.

He didn't look down on this kind of shop before, and felt that this was a store that all people could eat, and it was the cheapest, but he didn't expect that this was a cheap store in his eyes, but it was also unattainable for many people.

Looking at the street, only people wearing cloth will come into this hotel to eat, and those wearing coarse cloth basically buy two steamed buns, eat a bowl of noodles on the street to satisfy their hunger, sitting in this small shop, looking at it, not to say rich, at least it is a very good family.

Before, he had never noticed any of this.

In the bustling capital, all he saw were rich young masters, handsome gentlemen, literati and scholars, watching them chatting, watching them climb the flames, and watching them meet and play, but he didn't see that under these people, there would be people who were not well fed and clothed, and there would be people who were happy and excited because they ate a meal that was just ordinary.

They are the most simple, and they are satisfied with the little things, and they wander here, looking for opportunities to make money, and they go about every day, just to earn money that he once looked down upon.

Bowing his head and smiling bitterly, he only now realized that the life he had previously looked down on was actually beyond everyone's reach.

Xiao Er served the food, Jiang Yuanyuan and several of them were excited to take the bowl to solve the clean, Sheng Rong didn't eat a lot, the bumps along the way just now made him a little uncomfortable, and now he hasn't eased up, he is worried that he will be more uncomfortable when he eats too much and goes back later.

Jiang Qian went to the counter to check out, Jiang Yuanyuan kept looking, she was afraid that Jiang Qian's money was not enough, it turned out that Jiang Qian's investigation was very correct, and when she came back, she proudly shook the dozen dollars she still had in her hand.

"I didn't get a tael of silver!"

"It's okay, it's okay, if you really eat more than one or two silver, I don't dare to ask Sister Qian to pay!" Jiang Yuanyuan said, she fished around her, took out a stack of medicine bags on the chair on her side, she handed the medicine bag to Jiang Xuan, "This is the medicine I want to drink, I have to drink it twice a day!" ”

"So much, how long will it take!" Jiang Xuan was speechless, he took the medicine bag and counted it, with a surprised expression, "You have to drink it for more than twenty days!" ”

"Don't talk about it, it's expensive and bitter." Jiang Yuanyuan couldn't cheer up when she heard this.

"By the way, Sheng Rong, have you bought all your things?"

"I'll see...... The quilts, rice, oil, salt, and scattered things that my father asked for were almost bought. Sheng Rong took out the paper in his arms and looked at it in rows, there was really nothing to buy, "But, it seems that there are still pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I didn't find it just now, hmm... And a box of red powder? Rouge? Sekka cream? ”

"Sekka cream, red powder? And rouge, these are all used by your mother. Jiang Qian said in surprise, "This snow cream is precious!" A small box costs more than a dozen silver. ”

"Ah, maybe......" Sheng Rong said, subconsciously touched the money bag on his waist, weighed it, and made sure that the money was enough before he was relieved.

"You've got all that money with you?" Jiang Yuanyuan said, "You won't hang it on your waist, but don't hang it on your waist, your waist is the easiest to be stolen, you'd better put it on your chest, and you must be careful, the most you can hold hands on the street, and take it away for you." ”

Jiang Yuanyuan's voice was very low, and the whole person was about to come to Sheng Rong's side, Sheng Rong felt that his ears were like a layer of paste, and the sound was hazy and unreal.

"Hmm......" Sheng Rong responded, he pinched his nose, a little itchy.

"Then let's go to the rouge shop first, the store where you buy rouge has everything you want." Jiang Yuanyuan was satisfied, straightened up and said, "By the way, brother, how much did you buy crabs?" ”

"Well, I forgot, I bought a total of three taels of silver, a total of seven, bought it for one person, he said three taels of silver, the last small one was given to him, I think about it, there is a small one in the province that can't be sold, so I give it all to him, and we will divide the money after we go back."

Jiang Xuan patted his chest and said with some pride: "I didn't expect crabs to be sold for so much money!" It's really valuable, if we sell it for two or three taels of silver every day, we'll send it! ”
