Chapter 282 Leave and Go Up the Mountain (Ask for a Subscription and Ask for a Monthly Pass)
The south street is much more lively than the main street and the north street, and now is the time when there are many people, and people come and go carrying baskets on their backs, and there are people who buy things and sell things.
Qian Yan had a clear goal, and directly bought 500 catties of charcoal in several houses, and it was still delivered to that address. still
I ordered some chickens and eggs, bought some pork, mutton and the like, she didn't buy too much pork, mainly bought some fat meat and plate oil for stir-frying.
As for stewed or braised pork or something, the ancient pigs were not castrated, and there was a very strong smell, and it was not delicious to eat stewed.
I also bought a lot of grain, but I didn't buy coarse grains, and there were still a lot of ugly spaces, so I bought two stones of white flour and one stone of millet.
Now one pound is sixteen taels, and one stone is about one hundred and fifty pounds.
I originally wanted to buy rice, but there is no way here, there is no way, there is no rice here, there is still a possibility in Fucheng, there are merchants there to transport it, the price is a little more expensive can be sold, the county generally no one dares to enter this kind of high-priced goods.
It's almost enough to eat on the way to buy these, you can wait until you get to Yunzhou City, and then you can buy more.
Because she was holding the child, she didn't buy some small bits and pieces, and there was no shortage of them anyway, so she went straight back to the yard and waited after buying these.
Fortunately, although this yard looks like it hasn't been inhabited for a while, there are still people cleaning the yard, and the snow has been swept to a corner and piled together.
It's just that there is a lot of dust in the house, and the locks on the door are rusty, and it seems that the other party only cleaned up the yard and did not enter the house.
She and Chouchou didn't enter other people's houses, they just used other people's addresses to collect things, so they temporarily put the sleeping child into the ugly space and put it in the house with a formation.
There are a total of three families in this alley, I don't know if they went out to work or do business, no one is at home, and at the end is the courtyard wall of a family, which is equivalent to a dead end.
In this way, there is no fear of passers-by seeing it, and it is more conducive to them to collect things.
Let the ugly chou take out a brazier, put it in the yard and put firewood in the empty shed, and take out a chair to sit on, they can't just stand outside and wait, the main thing is that it is too cold.
As for the wooden house, it can't be put out, it's too high, if you really want to let it out, it's too obvious to see it from a distance, and this courtyard wall would be okay if it was higher.
Although the shed is not enclosed, it is much warmer than the outside because it is blocked by four walls.
Qian Yan thought that the first thing to arrive should be the meal, after all, she went there first to order, and now there are no guests, it shouldn't take too long to just make hers.
The result is not, there are not many people in the restaurant, and the cooks are not all at work, so they all clean up the side dishes to be used at noon first, so the first thing to be delivered is charcoal and food.
Qian Yan gave half of the money before, and then gave the other half when it was delivered, and after settling the accounts with a few families, she asked Chouchou to receive the things in the space, and put some in when the storage bag was used up.
When the meal came, Qian Yan collected it directly at the gate of the courtyard, and did not let the guy in, otherwise it would be too strange that he couldn't enter the house.
When it was poured into their own dishes and put the ugly and ugly into the space, she returned the food box to the guy, and the guy waited at the door and didn't say anything, and it was normal for some people to be reluctant to let outsiders in.
On the contrary, Tilt Yan was a little embarrassed to give a reward of broken silver as errand fees, the guy was very surprised to see a reward, originally heard that he was sent to the south of this alley and was reluctant to come, the people here are ordinary people working in the city, and they will definitely not get the reward.
I didn't expect this unexpected joy, even if it is a big family, it would be good to be able to give a reward of dozens of Wen, this girl is really generous and makes a move is five dollars of silver, which is five hundred Wen!
The man took the money and left happily.
After Tilt Yan and Chou Chou cleaned up the traces in the yard so that people couldn't see it, they wrapped the child tightly and took it out, locked the door and left.
I went back to the inn first, and the clothes could only be picked up at night, after all, there were so many, and it would be fast enough to be done at night.
When he returned to the inn, Fang Dayou had already returned, and he also went to buy grain, but he didn't go to the south street, he bought it on the north street, and this is a grain shop, with a lot of stock, and he can buy it all at once.
Meat, vegetables, eggs and charcoal are also the same, and the stock of the shop must be much more than that of the stall, and you can buy it all at once.
Fang Dayou picked up the goods in the lobby, and when he saw Qian Yan coming back with the child in her arms, he hurriedly got up and picked up the child.
"Clothes set? Can it be done today? ”
Qian Yan nodded, "It's set, I said that it can be done in the evening, just go and get it then, I think the cotton is new this year, and I made three sets of clothes for the child to wear."
I also made a quilt and used six catties of cotton, and I don't know if it is thick enough. ”
Fang Dayou: "Cotton is not cheap, I will give you how much silver you use, this child will be my nephew in the future, I can't always let you break the bank." ”
Qian Yan glared at him and said: "What is this, I also like this child, even if it is your brother's son in the future, then you have to call me aunt, that is also my nephew, what is it to spend a few dollars on my nephew."
Don't talk to me, this child is also destined for me, and he can go as a relative in the future, okay, there is a delivery person coming, you go and get busy, I will take the child up and clean up first, he hasn't eaten in the morning. ”
When Fang Dayi heard this, he hurriedly handed over the child to her, and watched her go upstairs before turning around and handing over the goods to the guy at the door.
Qian Yan fed the child and cleaned up the urine, put Yuan Bao to sleep again, and when she went downstairs, Fang Zhengyi also came back, and was sitting at the table in the lobby talking to Fang Dayou.
"Miss Yang, you're down."
The two of them stood up and said to Tilt Yan.
Qian Yan nodded: "Uncle Fang, you're back, how is it?" Can chimneys and sled boards be done? ”
Fang Zhengyi smiled and nodded, "I can do it, I also brought someone over to take a look, the chimney can be taken this afternoon, the sled board will not be installed until the evening, and the car will have to be driven over when the time comes."
I also bought the charcoal stove, and the chimney is compared to the mouth of the charcoal stove, the length is the same as yours, but the exit should be made of mud, and it is estimated that it will have to wait for it to dry, otherwise it will fall off ......"
"That's good, it seems that we can climb over that Xiaolong Mountain before it snows again, so it's safer."
Fang Da nodded, "Actually, if we don't want to go to Yunzhou, we will go to Yongzhou closer, Xiaolong Mountain is dozens of miles to the south, I heard that it is also very prosperous there, but I haven't been there, and I will definitely go to see it when I have time in the future." ”
Qian Yan determined the direction in her heart, Yongzhou should be Shaanxi Province in the future, then the direction they are going in now should be in the northeast direction.
It seems that when she arrives in Yunzhou, she will have to change direction and go south, but it's hard to say now, after all, she said that she wants to go back to Youzhou.
Hey~ No wonder it's getting colder and colder, she said that if you go south, you shouldn't, sure enough, in ancient times, there was no navigation, and it was easy to confuse the direction.
Fortunately, after Xiaolong Mountain, it will take five or six days to walk northeast to reach Yunzhou Fucheng, which should not be delayed for too long.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Fang Dayou went to get the clothes and quilts with Qian Yan, and she had to hold the child, which was not easy to take.
After taking the clothes and coming back, they went directly to the backyard, these can be put directly in the carriage, their carriage can be locked, and there are guys on duty at night, but there is no need to worry about losing them.
Fang Zhengyi has already installed the sled and returned, and is installing his charcoal stove and chimney.
Tilt Yan stepped forward and looked at the chimney exit, it should have been opened at the carpenter's shop, it was quite neat, but the mud was not very good, the mud here was a little loose, it was not as good as the clay she found.
It's okay to use it together, but it's easy to have cracks, and it's estimated that it will fall off piece by piece.
After thinking about it, Qian Yan said: "Otherwise, it's better to mix some glutinous rice soup in the mud, so that the stickiness is better, and it should last longer." ”
Fang Zhengyi's eyes lit up, "This is a solution, I'm worried that this mud can't be mushy, I'll go buy some glutinous rice and come back."
Qian Yan stopped him: "No, I have it here, there is a clay pot in the car, just boil it here, just try to see if the charcoal stove and chimney are good." ”
The father and son nodded, one took some charcoal from behind and lit it, and the other went to fetch water.
Qian Yan covered it with a carriage and took out half a catty of glutinous rice, which was enough to boil a pottery pot.
Because there were a lot of things to prepare this time, they put relatively light charcoal on the roofs of the two carriages, but there was no way, Fang Dayou bought another three hundred catties of charcoal, and the roofs of the two carriages were full of piles.
It's all packed in a sack, stacked on the roof of the car and then tied with hemp rope, but I'm not afraid that it will fall.
The grain is placed in the back of the carriage and in the carriage, but fortunately, now that there are sleigh boards, it is no problem for a horse to pull a weight of hundreds of catties, which is much easier than before.
If it was a bit of a struggle before, the weight of the carriage alone was hundreds of catties, and with so many things, it was estimated that it would have to sink into the snow.
The carriage of the Fang family's father and son is not the same as the one of Qian Yan, she directly made a wooden box behind her, and the food or something can be placed in it or tied to the box.
There was an extra shelf behind their carriage, and the grain was placed on the shelf, and they couldn't put too much, because if they put too much, it would be easy to overturn the carriage.
Therefore, there should be more in the carriage, so that the space in the carriage is much smaller, and now with a charcoal stove, people will not be able to lie down, of course, sitting can still stretch their legs, the upper body can lean on the grain, and there is no problem with resting.
Qian Yan thought, the things on the surface can't be moved, and when she gets on the road, the food she puts in the box and in the carriage can be received in the storage bag to reduce the weight of the bear.
Although the strength of the big bear is much greater than that of ordinary horses, after all, it eats and drinks well, and the ugly often combs its meridians, and it is already a real thousand-mile horse.
When he goes up the mountain tomorrow, Chou Chou can also use his divine sense to help push the cart, so that the two cars will be much easier, and the Fang family father and son should not find out, after all, with a sled board, it is not a big problem to have this cover.
When they had renovated the carriage and loaded the grain into it, it was already about nine o'clock in the evening, and it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, so they locked the door of the carriage and returned to the lobby of the inn, ate a bowl of noodles casually, and went upstairs to rest.
Qian Yan took the child into the ugly space to take a bath, and changed him into today's new clothes, the child finally didn't have to be wrapped and more lively, and kept stretching his little arms and legs on the bed.
In the past few days, Qian Yan has fed him every two or three hours, plus some complementary foods, such as apple puree scraped with a spoon, peach puree or something, and the child has obviously gained weight.
Although it still can't catch up with the normal weight of the child for three or four months in the next life, it is indeed much better than before, before it was really skin and bones, plus a big head and a big belly, like a little ET.
Now at least I can touch some meat, of course, the ribs or something are still quite obvious, after all, it's only a few days, it's impossible to raise the child's body so quickly, how can it be a month or two apart.
She also told the father and son of the Fang family that the child could make do with it on the road, and when he arrived in Yunzhou Fucheng, if there were conditions, it would be better to breastfeed, and she also told them that goat milk would be fine, and then it would be possible to feed the child after boiling it at high temperature and sterilization.
This is not difficult, there are more sheep in Yunzhou, and it is still easy to find a milk-producing ewe.
To be honest, she also has feelings for this child in the past few days, mainly because this child is too easy to bring, eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and doesn't make trouble when she wakes up, she just looks around with her eyes open, and grins at you as long as she sees people, such a cute baby, who can not like it?
And this child is thin and thin, but he looks very good-looking, with big eyes, a small nose and a tall nose, and a little cherry mouth, and at a glance, he knows that his parents' genes are good.
Come to think of it, the exiled people are not ordinary people, even if the men of large families are not good-looking, it will not be difficult for the daughter-in-law to see where they go.
When I helped bury the child's mother before, although the woman was already a little thin, I could see that her facial features were still quite exquisite, and the child followed his mother.
Alas, I hope he will be able to live well in the future.
routinely asked about the situation in Chouchou's places, knowing that it was still like that, there was no special situation, so he hugged the child and Yuan Bao and slept with him.
Today, because she was busy chattering outside all day, the ingots were fed by Ugly Ugly, so she didn't have to get food for her when she came back.
As for ingots going to the toilet or something, it's more convenient, Ugly Ugly can directly use his divine sense to get it to a place where there is no one outside, and then get it back after going to the toilet.
So it's so convenient to say that there is ugliness.
When they woke up the next morning and finished eating, they were on the road this time, and as soon as they reached the East City Gate, they came across a procession of ox carts that had been with them before.
The other party was obviously quite surprised to see them, after all, they didn't meet after they went forward, and they thought they wouldn't meet them, but they didn't expect them to catch up again.
The two sides nodded and said hello and didn't speak, after all, they weren't familiar with each other, but they had passed by the same road before, and of course, they were going to be on the same road again.
