Chapter 141: The Way Home
"I said shopkeeper Ye, that man was your husband just now?"
As soon as Liu Man'er entered the lobby of the inn, this group of businessmen asked with a little joking.
"yes." Liu Man'er nodded and said, "How is it?" Not bad, right? ”
"Well, it looks tall and burly, which is pretty good!" Everyone quipped: "No wonder Shopkeeper Ye wants to come over and take a look, are you afraid that your man will mess around outside?" ”
"It's not." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "I'm not that kind of jealous woman. ”
"Yes, looking at the shopkeeper Ye, it is not like a free and easy person, but it is quite similar to some children of the rivers and lakes." The businessmen said.
Liu Man'er smiled slightly: "If he dares to betray me, then I will rush over directly with a knife!" ”
The crowd was petrified.
Xin said: "This is not a jealous woman, this is a poisonous woman!" ”
Liu Man'er didn't care, she was just joking with everyone, this kind of joke could bring the relationship between each other closer and make her look not embarrassed.
"Since Shopkeeper Ye is here, then we will rest in Daqing Mansion for a day and leave early tomorrow morning." Young Master Yan said.
"Okay, then we have to take a good look in this Daqing Mansion now, I've finally been to these places, if I don't bring something back, I'm really sorry for myself."
"Shopkeeper Ye, go by yourself, we, who often come and go to this capital, have no interest in this Daqing City." One said.
"Oh, well, I'll go shopping myself." Liu Man'er said hello to these people and went out.
This Daqing City is a city in the north, compared with the south, the buildings here seem to be more rough, less delicate and graceful.
Most of the food sold on this street is all kinds of pasta, and as for the other knick-knacks, at first glance they look similar and nothing special.
Liu Man'er turned around, that is, bought some dried fruits on the street, pine nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, etc.
In fact, Liu Man'er doesn't like to eat these things, but in the New Year, take some home, it must be a lot of face, and it is very good to give it away, after all, these dried fruits are rare in the south, and the price is also very expensive, but here, it can be regarded as a low price.
Finally come to a trip, Liu Man'er also bought a ginseng back, this Daqing City is not far from the Daxing'an Mountains, there are many ginseng pickers, compared to other places, this Daqing City can also be said to be rich in ginseng, but even so, this ordinary ginseng for decades is still worth a lot of money, and it cost Liu Man'er a full hundred taels of silver.
Therefore, this money is never enough to spend, she has worked hard to earn money for so long, and a ginseng has cost her most of it, which is still an ordinary year of ginseng.
The reason why Liu Man'er would buy ginseng is because ginseng can be called the king of medicine, in ancient times, once at a critical juncture, didn't you have to contain some ginseng tablets to continue your life, Liu Man'er thought that Fang's family was also a little old, in case something happened, it was also good to deal with emergencies.
After all, in this ancient world, there was no first-aid medicine or anything like that, so she could only buy root ginseng as a life-saving medicine.
It may be that women are born with a special love for fur, especially this mink, the fur is slippery, comfortable and warm, Liu Man'er likes it very much, so she also bought four and went home to make clothes for a few children.
She didn't go hunting this year, so there was no fur in the house, and the other furs couldn't be compared with this mink, although the money was spent, but Liu Man'er was still very happy, and she couldn't put it down when she touched the mink along the way.
I originally wanted to go shopping again, but when I saw that it was getting late, Liu Man'er also went back, and walked to the inn, Young Master Yan and the others were preparing to have dinner, and saw Liu Man'er coming back with a lot of things, followed by a delivery person, they looked at each other:
"What did Shopkeeper Ye buy?"
"I bought a few furs and planned to use them to make clothes." Liu Man'er replied as she led the mink shop behind her to follow her to the backyard and put the mink in her carriage.
Walking to the backyard of the inn, she found that there were quite a lot of cars parked here, and the cars were full of things, which should be Young Master Yan's them.
I heard that this inn is also the property of Young Master Yan's family, and Young Master Yan and their lives here are the same as living in their own home, which is very safe.
So Liu Man'er doesn't have to worry about losing her things.
After putting the things away, she went to the lobby to eat with everyone, but she wondered where her handsome ran away, and after a few screams, Shuai Shuai ran over from this backyard.
On weekdays, when Liu Man'er eats, it always looks at it with blank eyes, but today, seeing that its stomach is already heavy, Liu Man'er asked in a deep voice: "Shuaishuai, where did you go to steal food?" ”
Shuai Shuai didn't answer, but jumped onto Liu Man'er's table, and before he could stand firmly, he fell down again, Liu Man'er smelled the smell of wine all over his body, and she looked at the merchants present: "I'll just go out to buy something, what happened?" ”
"Nothing." Hearing Liu Man'er ask, these middle-aged men were a little embarrassed, and said, "I just fed this handsome man and drank some wine." ”
"But it has nothing to do with us, it's what it wants to eat." These middle-aged men shirked.
Liu Man'er naturally knows that his handsome man is a greedy monkey, and he can't complain about these men, and this is not a big deal, but he feels a little crying and laughing, a drunk monkey? How do you think about it, how do you think it's a little funny.
However, it is also recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas that there is a creature that looks similar to a monkey, very cunning, and people generally can't catch it, but they like to drink, and later, people use wine as a trap to catch this kind of thing similar to a monkey.
Legend has it that this monkey can also make wine, called monkey wine, so because she is handsome, her brain suddenly has a good idea, monkey wine!
Wait until next spring, she will start to collect flowers to make monkey wine, which will definitely be good at that time, anyway, there is nothing to do in the spring, and it is not bad to make wine to pass the time.
It just so happens that she has a monkey, and there is also a monkey mountain nearby, and when the time comes, she may be able to make a lot of money by pretending to be the real monkey wine in the city.
Carrying Shuai Shuai back to the room to rest, she threw it next to the stove, while she herself slept comfortably on the bed, after all, she had to hurry the next day.
However, this time the return trip was much easier than when it came, and the caravan people were not in a hurry, and they were all walking more slowly.
Liu Man'er followed them all the way around, and bought anything new when she saw it, anyway, she brought a lot of money, and she brought half of her belongings, just thinking about what specialties to buy on the road when the time comes.
Passing by Taihu Lake, she bought a pearl by the way, intending to use it as a New Year's gift for the Fang family, but after she bought it back, Young Master Yan told her that the pearl she bought was fake and artificial.
Liu Man'er didn't care, buying something was a mood, this pearl was the size of a pigeon's egg, but it was only one or two silver, and she wasn't sure if it was true or not, anyway, even if it couldn't be used to give it to Fang's, it would look good to buy it and put it in the house.
When she was in Huzhou, she bought a few bundles of large and small brushes to go back, the lake pen has always been very famous, the tip of the pen is sharp and round and round, the use of the nib tactful, full of ink, free operation.
Anyway, the life of this brush is limited, since it came, Liu Man'er bought a few bundles, the process of making the brush is not easy, there are dozens of ways, Liu Man'er bought the lake pen from an old man, he said that he made this lake pen by his own family, the craftsmanship handed down by his ancestors, listened to him for a while, Liu Man'er left.
When passing through Huizhou, it was inevitable to buy two pieces of ink to go back, I heard that the ink here is very famous, and it was used to give it to Ye Feng, he must be very happy, as for Liu Fusheng's little guy, it is a waste to use such ink, he is still young, and he doesn't understand this.
No wonder it is said that it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, although Liu Man'er can be regarded as a 10,000-mile road, but because she is following the caravan, many places are sightseeing, and some places are not even considered to be sightseeing, so she stayed for one night and set off again.
If you have a chance in the future, you must come and take a good look.
When I came, it only took half a month, and when I returned, I didn't reach Fengyang County after walking for half a month.
However, she had already walked on the road from Licheng to Fengyang County, Liu Man'er had been frightened in this place, so in order to drive away the fear in her heart, she had to stay there for a night, of course, it was also because she couldn't find an inn and a post station, so everyone had to sleep there.
After walking a short distance the next day, Young Master Yan pointed out the appearance of the wormwood to Liu Man'er, who saw that there was a patch growing in that place, so he dug one down with his own firewood knife and soil, and planned to go home and plant it.
Young Master Yan wanted to stop it, but Liu Man'er said that she was just in case, afraid that something would need this absinthe.
For example, if she is sick and must drink bitter medicine, if she adds some bitter wormwood, it must turn into sweet soup.
When Young Master Yan heard her explain, he said: "You can plant this wormwood, but you have to be careful, even if you don't take it, if you have too much of their juice, it can also cause people to hallucinate, and the reason why you hallucinated that night is because the wormwood all the way was trampled on, and their juice volatilized in the air, making you hallucinate." ”
"Well, I see, I'll be careful." Liu Man'er nodded, and wrapped the root of this wormwood in a handkerchief, she wanted to see what was so magical about this wormwood.
Everyone has curiosity, and Liu Man'er is no exception, not to mention, she firmly believes that her absinthe will come in handy.
When Young Master Yan saw Liu Man'er's behavior, he also silently borrowed Liu Man'er's firewood knife to dig a plant and prepare to raise it.
