The others are more conventional methods of lotus root, but the people here have never eaten it, so for them, the taste is slightly more unique.

"Rouge lotus, this dish has such a nice name", Cheng Mu likes that dish very much, "Speaking of rouge, father, mother, I haven't changed rouge for a long time, if you don't let me go out, I will never be able to go out."

Cheng Muyang begged his father and mother, saying that he wanted to go out.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Water Spinning Street

"Mu'er, look at this hot day, it's not good to go out, how can you get married if you get tanned", Yu Yan didn't know what her daughter meant, she was too playful.

Cheng Mu was unhappy, every time he said so, he put down his chopsticks angrily, "Marry someone!" Mother, you don't like your daughter so much, and you are in a hurry to marry your daughter."

"Mu'er, Hugh has to talk nonsense, what does your mother mean, as a girl, you will marry sooner or later, show up all day long, how will you marry in the future", * Eating, without looking at Cheng Mu, he began to preach, but even such an unintentional preaching could make Cheng Mu dare not say anything.

I just thought to myself, "Hmph, what do you say about marrying, you just don't want me to go out, you look at other people, you can still go out."

"Mu'er, don't think that I can't hear the whisper you say, you saw which daughter went out all day."

Cheng Mu knew that those ladies in the city were the same as herself, and she usually didn't have the opportunity to go out, but she still couldn't help but talk back to her father, but she also whispered, "Then look at this Banxia girl, don't you go out like this."

* couldn't help but glare at Cheng Mu, he didn't allow his children to look down on anyone.

Cheng Mu didn't dare to speak anymore, * glanced at Hua Banxia apologetically, and saw that Hua Banxia didn't care, so he didn't say anything anymore and concentrated on eating.

Through this little episode, Hua Banxia knew that the girls in Yunguo were so unfree, and it may have been because they were all in contact with Hualou and the girls in the countryside, and everyone had no choice but to go out, but the ones in the city were different.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Hua Banxia's mind, so fast that Hua Banxia couldn't catch it, but that thought was in her mind, and she couldn't turn it over. Forget it, I'll always think of it, and spend half a summer comforting myself.

At the end of lunch, judging from the leftover meals on the table, the results are self-evident, the fat chef never expected that there were so many dishes left, could he really be so bad?

The maids came to clean up their things, and Hua Banxia and the fat cook naturally had no excuse to stay in the front hall any longer, so they went down with the people.

Walking to the backyard, Hua Banxia found his back basket, he was dying of hunger and couldn't stay any longer.

"I am willing to gamble and lose", Hua Banxia walked in front of the fat cook with the basket on his back and stretched out his hand to him.

Chef Lin was angry in the face of Hua Banxia's indifferent appearance, why was she not happy at all? Is it really effortless to win yourself?

But he had no choice but to take out five taels of silver angrily, throw it into Hua Banxia's back basket, and walk back to the kitchen without looking back.

Hua Banxia shrugged, it doesn't matter, just have silver. He turned around and walked the way he came.

Cheng Ze finally found an excuse to get rid of the conflict between his sister and his father, and went straight to the backyard out of the front hall, but when he heard the news that Hua Banxia had left, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Hua Banxia went out of Cheng's mansion, went straight to the small restaurant at the entrance of the market, and casually ordered a bowl of chaos. On a hot day, there is no fan and air conditioning in this restaurant, Hua Banxia looked at the sweaty people in the restaurant and shook his head, I really don't know how they can eat.

Hua Banxia played with the chopsticks in his hand, put aside the wontons brought by the boss, and waited for the time when it was no longer steaming before eating.

I kept thinking about what flashed through my mind when I was in Cheng Mansion just now, and her intuition told her that it must be something that could make Hua Banxia rich!

I don't know how long I thought about it, Hua Banxia still had no clue, until the owner of the restaurant came over and reminded her that she had been eating for a long time, and it was time to leave, Hua Banxia came back to her senses, hurriedly ate this bowl of chaos and left.

Hua Banxia thought that in addition to the one sent to Hua Manlou, he earned six taels of silver in Cheng Mansion, which may not be anything to Hua Banxia, but it is a huge amount of money for the Qiao family. After all, it was the first day, even if the Qiao family was reluctant, they would have to buy some good things back to celebrate in the middle of the summer.

Hua Banxia had long observed that the Qiao family's food and clothing were very poor, and the clothes were dismantled and mended, and the big ones were long, so they cut the small ones to make up for them.

The two aunts are also virtuous, and they didn't say anything when they married into the Qiao family, and they ran the family silently. Hua Banxia decided to pull two feet of flower cloth for each of them first, it may be coarse cloth, but it is better than nothing.

Hua Banxia strode towards the water textile street, this water textile street is the street in the south of the city that concentrates on selling women's clothes and rouge gouache, although there are also men's clothes for sale, but in comparison, men's things are not very important.

Shuifang Street is the second big street in Nancheng, which is of course the first place to concentrate on grain sales and trade for grain merchants in the past.

Hua Banxia walked to Shuifang Street, and most of the shops on the street were standing at the entrances of the shops soliciting customers, staring at the people coming and going.

"Isn't this a water-fon street? Am I on the wrong track? Hua Banxia walked for a while and found that compared with other streets, there are a lot fewer people in this water textile street, and most of them are men, of course, there are women, but they are all wearing veils, accompanied by subordinates, and they come and go in a hurry.

But just a few veiled girls have become the object of competition between the shops on both sides, and the little two keep saying good things to them, wanting them to enter the store to have a look, but they are all stopped by the maids beside the girl.

Hua Banxia saw this situation and immediately reacted, it seems that the situation here is similar to the situation of women in ancient times, even if they go out, they must wear a veil as much as possible.

Indeed, when Hua Banxia came here, in addition to the girl in the building, he had also seen a woman who did not veil himself in the market.

Hua Banxia found a store with simple decoration, the real cloth village walked in, the little two at the door saw Hua Banxia was surprised at first, I don't know if I was surprised that Hua Banxia would come here or just show his face and come out.

Hua Banxia smiled lightly at Xiao Er and walked in, "Little brother, do you have any coarse cloth here?" ”

Before Xiao Er at the door could speak, a person suddenly sat up at the counter in the store, "Yes, yes, how many horses does the girl want?" ”

Hua Banxia was slightly startled, the man was sleeping on the counter, and there were still red marks on his face that were pressed red by his fingers. At the age of thirty, his face is clean and fresh, his affinity is bursting, and he should be the shopkeeper in the store when he looks at his clothes.

"Shopkeeper, where is the cloth, I'll take a look", Hua Banxia didn't answer the man's words, and asked to see the goods first.

The man pointed enthusiastically, "Then that, you are on the left hand side in front of you", the shopkeeper stretched out his arm and pointed to Hua Banxia, eager to go directly through the counter and give Hua Banxia the same.

Hua Banxia saw it and walked over directly.

I touched the cloth piled up on the table, and I had a good conscience to work in the bargain. Hua Banxia turned down hard, but the bundles of cloth were too heavy, which made Hua Banxia feel very inconvenient.

The shopkeeper came out of the counter and came over with a smile to help Hua Banxia remove the cloth on it, "Girl, which one do you want?" "The shopkeeper reminds him to buy cloth in Banxia all the time.

"Shopkeeper, you have so many goods piled up here, it's very inconvenient for guests to come and choose", Hua Banxia casually said his feelings, and continued to move the cloth with the shopkeeper.

"Hey, the small shop is small, and there is a lot of inventory, so there is no place to put it, I hope the girl understands", the shopkeeper was accustomed to it, nodded and said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, don't take this seriously, in my opinion, your goods are not bad, if the service is good, I am willing to come next time, but in this situation, I don't want to come again next time", Hua Banxia lowered his head and said softly, just like he usually spoke, there was no other meaning.

The shopkeeper didn't expect Hua Banxia to be so direct, but there was no threat or request in his tone that he must do what she wanted.

watched Hua Banxia wear a patch, and went out without a veil, and got rid of a country girl. It's not easy to go to the countryside, and the shopkeeper doesn't mean to discriminate, but I always feel that she is different from other village girls.

"The girl laughed, look at my shop... Not to mention my shop, it is the shops of the entire water textile street, and a day a store can have a girl enter the store is already burning high incense, but you see, it is not a man who comes to the merchants, who buy and sell goods, how can there be any business."

The shopkeeper said it easily, but there was helplessness on his face and tone.

Hua Banxia raised his head from the pile of cloth, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Since there is no business, how did this water spinning street exist until now?" "Hua Banxia is puzzled, if you want to put aside your past life, the business can't be done, and the street has long been empty.

The shopkeeper frowned and didn't know how to speak, and stopped for a while before saying to Hua Banxia, "It's not that there is no business, many big families in the city have fixed suppliers, but how much can a family buy, and clothes are not changed every day."

Hua Banxia understood, it turned out to be a lack of cargo flow, the girls in the city rarely have the opportunity to go out, and finally came out once will not go shopping, see which one is pleasing to the eye, and the latter is basically to buy the things of that one, which leads to no competition between the shops in the supply, price, and service, whether from the perspective of shops or consumers, it is not conducive to the development of the market.

In this way, there is only one problem faced by the water textile street, expanding the scope of consumers, increasing the flow of goods and people, the flow of people in feudal antiquity, there is no way to spend half a summer, but the flow of goods can still be coped.
