The next day, Sakura and Chunniang got up early.

Chen Zhao, who was sleeping on the bed next to him, also quickly got up and put on his clothes, shoes and socks.

After they cleaned up, Xiaoqing and Xiaodai, two maidservants, came over with water.

"Yo, Xiao Langzhong got up so early, why don't you sleep for a while?" Xiaoqing asked with a smile.

Chunniang hurriedly took the kettle, "We want to get up early and go to the West Market to have a look, and ask the little young girl to talk to your young lady." ”

The Guogong Mansion is the wife of the prince who manages the housekeeping, and Xiaoqing and Xiaodai are also the people in the courtyard of the lady of the prince, so Chunniang only needs to tell Xiaoqing that she and her daughter are going out.

"Since the lady is going to the West Market, do you want to tell the lady of the prince and let the family send a carriage to send you?" Xiaoqing asked.

Chunniang hurriedly said: "Don't bother, Sakura and I just went out for a walk, and it was inconvenient to take the carriage." ”

Xiaoqing was not reluctant, stood next to him and talked for a while, and instructed a servant woman in the guest house to follow Chunniang and a few people to serve, and then left with Xiao Dai.

After a few people washed up and had some breakfast casually, Yingbao and Chunniang Chen Zhao followed the servant woman out together.

Li Qing, who originally lived opposite, had already been taken by his grandfather Li Langzhong to live in Wen Jingyan's house, so there were only two Chunniang and Chen Zhao left in the entire guest house, and of course there were two door-guarding maids and two sprinkler girls.

The three of them, led by a servant woman, walked out of the Guogong Mansion through the side gate, passed through the alleys of the outer courtyard, and then arrived on the street.

There are big shops on both sides of the street, such as gold and silver jewelry stores, silk and satin cloth villages, antique calligraphy and paintings, incense shops, restaurants, song houses, money houses, carriages and horses, etc.

After a few people walked around for a while, the servant woman began to get impatient, and complained to Chunniang: "Lady, Xishi is five or six miles away from here, and the old man is old, where can he walk so far?" Let's hire an ox cart to get around. ”

Chun Niang looked at her daughter and saw that she had no objection, so she nodded in agreement: "Then hire an ox cart." ”

After not going far, the servant called for an ox cart.

The driver was an old farmer, who pulled vegetables into the city early in the morning to sell, and at this time the vegetables had been redeemed to the vendors, and he was about to return home, but he met someone who hired a car.

The servants talked with him, walked from here to the West Market, and then sent them back to the house, a total of two hundred wen.

The old farmer was very happy, cleaned the car board, and let a few people sit on it.

The ox cart walked slowly on the street, and whenever there was a snack on the side of the road, Sakura would jump out of the car and buy it and share it with everyone.

The baked crispy and crispy fat sesame hu cake, with a layer of fragrant fat and hemp sticking on the outside, and a delicious mutton filling inside, is very delicious.

Ying Bao bought thirty in one go, and weighed five catties of raw fat and hemp that had not been fried with the shopkeeper.

took out a few cakes and distributed them to everyone, and handed the rest to A-Niang to put away and keep them as dry food on the way back to her hometown.

I also met those who sold fried white sausages, blood sausage haggis, mutton wontons, pepper goose offal, fried belly lungs, fried cakes, eel soup, etc., and bought some for everyone to taste.

Soon several people ate until their stomachs were round, including the old farmer who drove the car, touching his belly and burping.

The servant saw that Yingbao was still buying those mutton steamed buns, Niu Po meatloaf, hibiscus cakes, and crispy ring cakes, so she said to Chun Niang: "I said lady, you can't spoil children like this, now that the weather is hot, buy so many things and go back, and you will be spoiled in one night, isn't this a bad waste of food." ”

Chun Niang smiled: "It's rare to come to the capital, not to mention that we will return to our hometown tomorrow, Bao'er buys these and keeps them for eating on the road, and they won't be bad." ”

The servant woman rolled her eyes and said no more.

The ox cart passed through a fruit store, that is, a large trading house that wholesaled melons and fruits.

However, all foreign melons and fruits entering Beijing must first enter the fruit store before they can enter the market, so there are many varieties of melons and fruits here.

Sakura picked out some ripe watermelons and longan papaya scales, and bought a lot of lychees and honeydew melons.

Loading all of this onto the ox cart, the servant woman didn't bother to say anything more, but dozed off with her eyes closed.

Chen Zhao was very happy, helping to move things one after another, and he was not tired at all.

After buying melons and fruits, Yingbao asked the old farmer to continue to drive and walk slowly along the street.

If you come across a charcoal seller, you can also buy a basket, and you can also buy two charcoal stoves and copper kettles for boiling water, including a pot for cooking soup and rice.

I also saw a dragon beard noodle shop, which sold all kinds of dried noodles, and Yingbao also bought two large bags.

Then she watched the shop for a long time to see how they pulled the noodles to dry.

Next to the dragon beard noodle shop is the multigrain shop, and Yingbao went in to buy a lot of local vegetable seeds and multigrain seeds, such as eggplant, radish, celery, turmeric, spinach, broad beans, lentils, gourds, etc., and bought a big bag of each.

Chun Niang took the seeds handed by her daughter, and she was very pleased.

I didn't think about it so much, but my daughter thought of everything.

Bringing back local vegetable seeds will not only provide your own food to eat in the future, but also benefit the villagers.

The ox cart walked slowly, and Ying Bao and Chen Zhao didn't get into the car, so the two of them walked all the way.

When I saw something fresh, I bought some and put it on the ox cart, such as shrimp paste, crab roe sauce, aged vinegar and vinegared radish, vinegared courgette, sweet vinegar garlic, etc., and bought two jars of each.

Finally, when he came to a large liquor store, Sakura Bao bought two jars of lychee wine, two jars of sour plum wine, two jars of koji, and two jars of mash.

After the autumn harvest, they will make some wine from koji and keep it for the New Year's holiday.

Anyway, her family has a lot of rice, and she doesn't have to sell grain to pay for it, as long as the wine she brews is not taken out and sold, the government will not care.

On the way, I met a shop selling ice drinks, and I saw two little ladies standing at the counter, eating with a bowl in their hands, and the snow-white balls in the pottery bowl were dotted with two pieces of dried apricots, which were braving the slightest cold, which looked very attractive.

Chen Zhao swallowed his saliva and looked at Ying Bao pitifully.

She didn't have any money in her hand, and if she wanted to eat, she could only ask for help from the little doll, "Senior sister······"

Sakura wiped the sweat from her head and said, "Take whatever you want to eat, and I'll pay for it." ”

Chen Zhao has helped a lot along the way, and she is not a particularly stingy person, so it is okay to invite her to eat a bowl of ice drink.

"I'll eat that!" Chen Zhao pointed to the ice bowl in the hands of the two little ladies.

So, Yingbao bought three more bowls of ice and snow sugar balls, one bowl for A-Niang, one bowl for herself, and one bowl for Chen Zhao.

Eating a bowl of ice drinks on dog days is really refreshing, but it's a pity that I don't have ice, otherwise I can make it for my father and brother to taste when I go home.

After eating the ice and snow balls, several people got on the ox cart and returned to Xiao Mansion.

The servant woman found two servants to help carry things into the guest house.

The maidservant Xiaoqing looked at the room full of bits and pieces, and couldn't help but be surprised: "The little lady bought so many things, how can she take them away?" ”

Sakuraho: "It's okay, I'll be able to move two boxes and fit it." ”

Xiaoqing glanced at the things all over the ground, and then looked at the wooden boxes piled up next to him, speechless for a while.

Just a few wooden boxes, let alone two, even if they are all free, they can't hold so many things.

Chunniang was also worried, "Bao'er, can you really fit it?" ”

"Hmm." If you can't pretend, you have to pretend, as long as you don't let A-Niang and them see how they pretend.

In the evening, Yingbao asked A-Niang to take Chen Zhao to the next door to wash, and quickly opened the box and packed the things she bought today.

Melons, fruits, mutton, steamed buns, pickles, wine jars, and so on were all put into the cave, and some of the seeds were also put in, and the rest were locked in wooden boxes.

When Chun Niang and Chen Zhao came back, they couldn't help but be surprised to see that the girl had cleaned up everything in the house, and it seemed that everything had been packed into a box and locked.

"It's all in the box?"

"Well, it's all in. We'll be able to leave tomorrow. ”
