Chapter 1027: Famine, Natural Disasters 184
Two more grandmothers were waiting by her side, and Mingyi quickly adapted.
With no one to serve, she can handle it safely; Someone is waiting for her, and she can enjoy it safely.
Early the next morning, Zhou Ting and Mingyi bid farewell to Princess Zhou and went out in a carriage; First went to the nearby Fucheng street to wander around, and when he saw skates, Mingyi immediately paid for a few pairs.
"Yi Yi can skate?" Zhou Ting asked with a smile on the side.
Mingyi asked the boss to pack it, but she turned her head and talked to Zhou Ting, "I can't learn, I will go to the northwest and follow the customs; Not only do you have ready-made ice and snow, but you are still worried about whether you can learn to ski? ”
Zhou Ting chuckled, watched the boss pack his skates, and Mama Zhao and Mama Rong took it and handed it to the guards waiting behind her, and then took her to continue shopping in the Northwest Mansion City.
The streets that have been bustling at the beginning of the revival are not very noisy, and there are not too many people; During the Chinese New Year, it is a time to rest, and everyone relaxes to their heart's content, because most of them live at home and do not run because of the cold weather.
When Mingyi was in the mood to go shopping, he was jumping cheerfully; She had to look at everything she saw, whether she had seen it before or not, she had to go up and take a closer look, as if she could see the difference, but in fact it was just a whim.
When you go shopping, you may feel bored at first, but when the interest comes, you really hate to have to go.
"Chaosheng, there are kebabs sold here."
Walking to the street selling food, there are already hawkers coming out to set up stalls; Skewers, steamed pasta, noodle stalls, and all kinds of small pastries.
"Want to eat?" Zhou Ting smiled indulgently.
"I think, I still want to eat sugar gourds, but I didn't expect that there are also sugar gourds sold in the northwest." Mingyi's eyes are not enough to see, the mansion city in the day is completely different from the mansion city in the night, "By the way, I also want a barbecue skewer and put a lot of cumin." ”
"Okay."
Zhou Ting saw her rushing forward, as if she had seen something else of interest; The smile on his face never fell, and he ordered the people behind him, "I heard it, go buy it, and bring some soft little pastries back." ”
"Yes."
One of the guards walked away.
Mama Zhao and Mama Rong crossed Zhou Ting to catch up with Mingyi, they are now Mingyi's subordinates, and everything is based on the master.
Seeing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Zhou Ting's eyes, and then he looked at the girl in red clothes with cloud brocade, and raised his heels.
"I want this."
"I want this too."
"Wrap this up."
Whatever you want to eat, Mingyi will buy one; Zhou Tinghe followed her side without hesitation, and got the food she thought was good to share, only he got this unique treatment, and his mood was visibly good.
I didn't follow the guards not far or close, for fear of sparing their interest.
Mingyi ate two kinds of packaged food, and the guards who bought things came back; Sugar gourds are sold on four skewers, and barbecue meat is more, one skewer is wrapped in an oiled paper bag, and there should be about 20 bamboo skewers exposed.
Mingyi took a sugar gourd and stuffed it into Zhou Ting's hand, "You eat it too." ”
"Okay." Zhou Ting took it with a smile and did not eat; He doesn't like sugar gourds, it's okay to eat one or two, but there are four or five on a bunch of sugar gourds, and he can't eat them.
Mingyi didn't care if he ate it or not, he took the first bite to taste; It's sweet and sour, it's not sour, and it's not so sweet that it's greasy.
"The sugar gourd is delicious and moderately sweet, I don't know if it's someone's ancestral secret recipe." Squinting and enjoying it very much.
Some sugar gourds are too sweet to eat a few at all; This sugar gourd is really delicious, and it just blends in with the sour taste of hawthorn.
"If you like it, I'll ask someone to buy the secret recipe and make it for you later." Seeing that she was eating happily, the corners of Zhou Ting's lips involuntarily smiled, and she couldn't hold it back.
"That's not necessary, people want to make money to support their families, you buy it for others, what will people do in the future?"
A good recipe can be passed down from generation to generation, no matter how inconspicuous it is; Once there is a phenomenon of buying and selling, it means that Fangzi can no longer be exclusive.
Zhou Ting said: "Fang Zi is in the hands of the chef in the house, he will not be passed on, and he will not be forbidden to buy and sell, it will have no impact on him, and he can earn a sum of money to subsidize the family." ”
"Won't it really be passed on?" Mingyi asked uncertainly.
"No, the people in the house are all deeds, and they will not pass on the things of the master's family; Otherwise, it is not only him who suffers, but also his entire family. ”
The house has been passed down for many generations, and the family has children and children, generation after generation; The palace will not be used for people with unknown backgrounds, and even many of the guards are born to children, and the palace will give them room to rise and work hard, and when they reach a certain level, they will return the deed of sale to him.
However, if such a person signs a deed of sale in the next generation, the palace will not hire him.
"As long as it doesn't spread out, let people still buy and sell exclusively; You can't do things that cut off your life's path, and it's not easy for people to make money to support their families by relying on this. ”
Cause and effect cycle, do you think you don't have to pay it back if you do something bad? But the time has not yet come, and when the time comes, no one is in a position to complain; What causes are planted, what effects are obtained, and it is better to find a way to solve the consequences than to complain and complain.
Mingyi pulled back her deviated thoughts and looked at Zhou Ting.
Zhou Ting nodded at her gaze, "Listen to you, as long as the secret recipe is made on the house." ”
"That's good, their trick should be on maltose." Mingyi continued to wander after speaking, and she didn't ask about the rest of the things.
Zhou Ting looked at Buwei not far away.
Don't stride forward, "Master." ”
"Yiyi loves to eat this sugar gourd, and let people buy secret recipes; After buying the secret recipe, remember to sign the sales contract, and by the way, tell him that this secret recipe is only used in the house and will not be passed on. ”
"Whoa." Not to stand in place, watching Zhou Ting catch up with Mingyi again, he explained to the guard who bought things just now, "The order of the prince of the world to do it well." ”
The guard solemnly said, "My subordinates understand. ”
One of the guards quietly broke away from the crowd and went to find the man selling sugar gourds.
No, it's to continue to bring people to keep up and keep them safe.
Walk while eating, walk the whole street that sells food; It's just that she is thirty percent full, she is having fun, and Zhou Ting is watching her play.
When they returned home, the eight guards who came each carried something in their hands, which was not much, but each of them did not run away.
Mama Zhao and Mama Rong also carried one or two kinds of food wrapped in oiled paper in their hands.
They can be regarded as having seen the ability of this little lady Cheng to buy and buy.
Let's say that she is a loser, she buys only food, and does not buy other valuables; The valuables in the hands of the guards were all wrapped up by Zhou Ting's mouth, and Mingyi's mind was all on food.
Xing hurriedly returned to the courtyard, and after sending the guards, Mingyi opened the oil paper one by one; The food contained in each oil-paper bag was different, and it took her a while to disassemble it, and all of it was placed on the table, pulling Zhou Ting to taste it together.
