Chapter 139: Fucheng
Yu Xiaocao taught Zhenyulou a few tomato dishes, and brought many unexpected customers to Zhenyulou. Rare things are expensive, and the Yu family's tomatoes are of course sold at an expensive price, almost the same as some rare fruits. The Yu family's small tomato field has earned them a lot of wealth.
Although vegetables have been marketed on a large scale, Yu's vegetables are much stronger than others in terms of taste and freshness. Therefore, although the price of Yujia's vegetables is slightly more expensive than others, the Yao family and Zhenyulou still buy vegetables from Yujia.
Of course, seasonal vegetables are much cheaper than at the beginning of spring. Gone are the days when vegetables were more expensive than pork!
When the first rays of morning light light up the summit of the western mountain, the birds are still making their first cries in their nests. Yu Xiaocao consciously got up and washed, and Xiaoshi shrank in the quilt and looked at her enviously.
"If you have anything you want, my sister will go to Fucheng to buy it for you!" Xiaocao said to Xiaoshi in the tone of a sister.
Xiaoshi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't need anything, don't break the bank for food and play, if there is cheap paper and pencil for me to buy some back." I think my handwriting is a little worse than that of the people in the dormitory. ā
"The few people who live in your house are either scholarly families or rich families. Most of them are enlightened at the age of three, how old are you to touch the pen? A little worse than them, and there is no shame in it! Yu Xiaocao feels that it is not a bad thing to be competitive, but she can't be too obsessed with the first ranking.
Xiao Shi turned over in the quilt and said with a smile: "I'm not comparing with others, Mr. also said that a good handwriting is also very helpful for future exams." I started later than others, and now I should catch up. If the pen and paper in Fucheng are cheaper than in the town, take this opportunity to bring more and keep them in reserve! Without the family's money, my pocket money should be enough! ā
Since Xiaoshi went to the town to study, Xiaocao has never cut off his pocket money, at least thirty or fifty wen a week, and the little guy is reluctant to spend it, ready to save it to buy stationery or something. But the second sister thought too thoughtfully, and she never lacked pen and paper. Therefore, in his small treasury, there are hundreds of texts in total.
Yu Xiaocao walked over and pinched his little face, and said with a smile: "Your copper plates, let's keep you for snacks!" Don't worry about pen and ink, don't you have a second sister! Your second sister is rich now, and she will be richer in the future! You just have to study with peace of mind, and you don't have to think about other things! ā
After the osmanthus duck of Zhenyulou becomes famous, the Yu family must have an income of at least 1,000 taels a year. Not to mention for one child to study, even if all the children in the family are sent to school, it doesn't cost a few dollars. It's good to be in a hurry with a lot of money!
"Uncle Yu, where is Xiaocao? Can you go? Zhao Han's voice reached the ears of the sisters and brothers.
Xiao Shi smiled and said, "Second sister, don't rub it off!" Don't let Brother Han wait! ā
"It's coming, it's coming!" Xiaocao hurriedly took the small baggage she had packed yesterday and rushed out of the house in a hurry.
Liu was handing over the dry food on the road to his man, and when he saw that Xiaocao was still wearing yesterday's clothes, he frowned and said, "Didn't I make you a new set of clothes?" Hurry up and get it on! ā
"It's pretty good! You don't need to change it......" Xiaocao looked at the clothes on his body, although they were coarse cloth, there were no patches and no dirty marks, what to change?
Yu Hai smiled: "Your mother will change you if you ask you to change it!" Go out and wear new clothes, and look for a good mood and good omen. ā
Yu Xiaocao wanted to say something, but was pushed into the house by her mother. Liu took out a brand new embroidered jacket skirt from the rattan box. The top is a duck egg blue cross-collar embroidered pinched waist jacket, paired with dark blue ankle-length wide culottes. Speaking of culottes, they look no different from ordinary skirts, but they do have two trouser legs separated from the middle, which makes it much easier to ride and walk.
Although the clothes are made of cotton, they are relatively good muslin cloth, and the pulp is very neat and washed, and it looks stylish to wear. Yu Xiaocao crossed over and wore such formal clothes for the first time, and turned around in front of the Liu family very stinkyly, holding her face with her hands, and said with a smile: "Mother, am I beautiful?" ā
"Alright, don't stink! Sit down, and my mother will help you with a double bun. Liu's hands were quite dexterous, and after a while, he combed his hair into a bun and tied a bow with a headband.
The short jacket that pinched the waist, lined with Xiaocao's slender waist and not a hand, the double bun and the pink and snow-white little face, and a pair of big eyes as bright as autumn water, were so cute that they didn't want it.
Zhao Han, who was putting on the saddle for the little donkey, almost didn't recognize her when he saw Yu Xiaocao dressed up. After a few careful glances, he quipped: "Yo, where did this little jasper come from?" Born a good look! ā
Yu Xiaocao's eyes widened, his hands crossed his hips, and said with a smile: "Brother Han, are you teasing me?" ā
Zhao Han blushed, didn't dare to look at her, and said, "I'...... I praise you from the very heart! ā
Liu slapped Xiaocao on the back and said to Zhao Han: "Don't care about this girl, she comes up with crazy words from time to time!" I really can't help her! Let's go quickly, be careful that you can't get to Fucheng at night!! ā
Xiaocao's back was patted painfully, and she pursed her lips and muttered quietly, "If you hadn't told me to change my clothes, we would all be in town soon." People just played a little joke with Brother Han, so they made such a heavy hand. Am I still your own? ā
"You picked it up in the sweet potato field!" Liu laughed and scolded angrily, sent Xiaocao's father and daughter out of the house, and helped his daughter onto Xiao Ash's back with Yu Hai, and advised, "You two are not good at riding, ride slowly, be careful all the way!" ā
The saddle on Xiao Gray's body was used by Zhao Han when he was a child, and it was just right to put it on the little donkey. Fortunately, when Liu was making clothes, Xiaocao asked her to change her skirt into culottes and straddle the saddle without pressure. The wide trouser legs, like two skirts, swayed with the little donkey's steps.
At the beginning, Xiaocao was still a little nervous riding on the back of a donkey, and the Zhao father and son also slowed down their pace, cooperating with the footsteps of the Yu family's father and daughter.
Gradually, Xiaocao found a rhythm and her body was no longer so stiff. The little donkey felt the owner's relaxation, and his steps became cheerful.
After the baptism of spiritual stone water, Xiao Ash's spirituality is no worse than the two horses of the Zhao family. There was no need for Xiaocao to give orders, the little donkey ran fast and steady, even exceeding Yu Hai's pace, and a donkey took the lead in the front.
Even on rough mountain roads, the grass doesn't feel bumps, which is much more comfortable than riding a donkey cart. Xiaocao pondered, next time I went to town, should I ride a donkey?
Soon, Yu Hai's riding skills gradually became proficient, and the speed of the group of four gradually increased. To the surprise of the Zhao family's father and son, the Yu family's little donkey, whether in terms of speed or endurance, could keep up with three horses.
It was precisely because of the little donkey's strength that the four arrived in Fucheng an hour earlier than expected.
After all, Fucheng is a Fucheng, which is much more prosperous than Tang Ancient Town. The streets are wide and smooth, lined with shops, and the afterglow of the slanting sun on the horizon is sprinkled on the green tiles and red walls, and the eaves of the pavilions. The three-story red brick and green tile building, the shop signboard banner fluttering high, and the flowing cars and horses...... All show the prosperity of the city.
Yu Xiaocao led the little donkey, standing in the bustling flow of people, looking at the faces that were elegant, fresh, sincere, or sophisticated, and his ears were full of the penetrating shouts of the vendors, and the occasional neighing of horses. A prosperous and prosperous world, prosperous like a dream......
Zhao Bufan has been to Fucheng more than once, and it is not uncommon for such scenes to occur, he softly asked the opinions of the Yu family's father and daughter: "Brother Dahai, should we find a place to live first, or do we go shopping?" ā
Yu Hai looked at his daughter and asked, "Cao'er, what do you say?" ā
"Otherwise, let's find a place to settle down first, and Ash and the horses will feed the fodder and trim for a while, and then it's not too late to go out for a walk!" Anyway, I have to stay in Fucheng for two nights, and I can have a day tomorrow to wander around, and it won't be bad for a while.
Zhao Han immediately agreed: "Xiaocao, I know a night market, which is also more lively at night, with many snacks from the north and south, and you can also find some cheaper things." You should love it! ā
"Yes, yes! Go to the night market for snacks at night! "Since Yu Xiaocao was fifteen or sixteen years old in his previous life, he has been running around for life, and rarely has a leisurely time to visit the night market and taste snacks. In this life, you still have to make money, but you have to relax your steps and look at the scenery along the way in life.
A group of four people found a clean small hotel near the night market that Zhao Han said. After all, Fucheng is a big city, and its consumption level is higher than that of Tanggu Town. This small hotel in the middle of nowhere, it costs 150 wen for a night, and if four people don't eat or drink for a night, they will spend 600 wen, and more than one or two taels of silver for two nights are gone!
Yu Xiaocao went to the backyard first and waited for Xiao Shen and the three horses. Along the way, in order to maintain the horse's physical strength, Xiaocao gave them almost all the spirit stone water in the water bag to drink.
The small inn provided fodder for feeding the horses, and the three horses were fine, but they only drank a little water all the way, and they were hungry before they had much to eat, and they ate with relish as soon as the fodder came up. The little donkey, who was raised by the grass, stomped his hooves impatiently, disdainful of the forage.
This small inn is a family-style hotel, and the horses are fed by a little girl about the size of a small grass. When she saw that the little gray donkey was reluctant to eat, she said to Xiaocao: "Is this little donkey uncomfortable?" Why don't you want to eat? ā
Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "My little gray is spoiled by me, and it doesn't eat anything that others feed." Little sister, give me the fodder and I'll feed it! ā
The little girl also had to go to the kitchen to help light the fire, so when she heard this, she sent the grass in the basket to Xiaocao, and said, "Then it will trouble the guests!" ā
