Although the shop rented by the Xie family to Su Qingluan was not large, it had an advantage, all the shops on that street had their own yards at the back, which were used as small warehouses for goods storage or temporary goods transportation points.

However, Su Qingluan did not prepare to use it as a warehouse. Since he planned to do food-related business from the beginning, Su Qingluan was going to make a back kitchen in the backyard at the beginning.

So when Xie Fu helped clean up the store before, he asked her if she had any requirements, and Su Qingluan simply said that she would build a more spacious stove room in the back.

At present, although the store has not yet opened, the stove room in the back has been repaired first, and the pots and stoves are all available, and they are all configured.

Naturally, the detailed furnishings inside, such as plates, bowls and various seasonings, naturally had to be purchased by Su Qingluan himself, but for the time being, this level of "simple stove room" has saved Su Qingluan a lot of effort.

Therefore, Su Qingluan's main task today is to prepare all kinds of bottles, cans, tools and materials that may be used.

However, she didn't go straight to the shops to find what she wanted, but followed Daddy and Auntie to the meat stall.

Now Yang and Su Guangfu have been able to choose what part of the water is suitable for making soup, and they don't have to worry about Su Qingluan at all. And she was here to see Liu Yunniang who had gone into the water after treatment.

Even though Su Qingluan rarely came to the town recently because of the jam matter, he still met Liu Yunniang a lot. For example, today, because last time Yun Niang said that Liu Sheng wanted to eat that preserved egg and lean porridge again, Su Qingluan took advantage of this time to make preserved eggs and brought her eight.

"Oh, and this." Su Qingluan handed the crumpled yarn fish curd wrapped in oil paper to Liu Yunniang.

Yun Niang hadn't eaten this, and said with a smile: "I fried this bean bubble yesterday, Qingluan, take it back!" ”

Su Qingluan said with a smile: "You go back to stew soup or shabu-shabu to taste, this is made of fish - but don't leave it too long, even if the weather is cold now, this thing is easy to deteriorate, and I'm afraid it will be sour in three or five days." ”

Yun Niang accepted Su Qingluan's "feeding" every once in a while, and knew that Su Qingluan really wanted to treat her as a friend, so she didn't twist and accepted the preserved eggs and fish curd.

Su Qingluan asked Liu Sheng about the recovery of his legs as usual.

In the past, this topic was an established greeting process, because Yanagi's condition has been stable and gradually recovering, and recently he can walk around the neighborhood. Therefore, Liu Yunniang, the daughter, was very happy to mention her father's illness, and Su Qingluan was also happy to choose a promising topic as chat material.

But today, Liu Yunniang sighed uncharacteristically: "Originally, Daddy's legs have gradually improved, but I don't know what's going on recently, he actually started to feel numb on his feet, and gradually lost his strength!" ”

When she said the last few words, Yun Niang's voice gradually trembled, but after all, she was a strong character, not a little girl who cried and cried at every turn, so although she was sad, she only frowned slightly, but she didn't cry.

Su Qingluan hurriedly asked, "Did the doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall say what happened?" ”

"Here's the problem," Liu Yunniang sighed, "The doctor in the Rejuvenation Hall said that everything should be fine with my father, and he shouldn't have this kind of numbness and weakness in his legs now." ”

"How long has this been going on?"

"I guess it's about a decade old." Liu Yunniang sighed, "At first, A-Niang and I didn't take it too seriously, after all, the weather has been getting cold recently, and the cold on my legs will make me sore." But the plaster was not effective, and the hot compress and moxibustion were useless. ”

Su Qingluan calculated: Ten days is ten days, that is to say, Uncle Liu's leg disease has deteriorated for almost ten days.

Could it really be as the mother and daughter of the Liu family suspect that it is the reason for the cooler weather?

After all, Su Qingluan was not a person who was proficient in medical skills, so he could only hastily comfort her and tell her that if she needed it, she must tell her. immediately said goodbye to Liu Yunniang, and went to Renyazi.

In recent years, buying and selling human heads is a strange thing, so much so that when Su Qingluan saw Zhengda Guangming stringing people together and letting them line up on the side of the road to sell, his spirit was greatly impacted.

But now, it has been a while since he crossed over, and Su Qingluan knew that he did not have the ability to change this phenomenon, so although he was still uncomfortable in his heart, he could only learn to adapt.

However, when she occasionally had the chance, she thought she could save at least one, like now.

There is no unified "purchase standard" for human tooth traffickers, so Su Qingluan is different every time he sees a dead grass on the side of the road waiting to be "bought", most of them are children of poor families who can't open the pot at home, but there are also slaves from Fanbang, but that one is generally very expensive, and only rich and noble families can afford it.

Su Qingluan looked at the row of half-grown children who looked like bean sprouts, her heart was sour, and she had to pretend to be indifferent on the surface - because she knew that if she showed her inner unbearability at all, these very observant children would beg her to buy her.

When he just crossed over, Su Qingluan hadn't learned to hide it, and he didn't know the twists and turns between them, and he once scattered all the money on his body at once.

This time, she learned to be obedient, her expression was cold, and she tried her best to choose these "goods" that were still children in her previous life as if she were picking goods.

Seeing that Su Qingluan was dressed ordinarily, he didn't look at the small vendors who were steaming with fragrance and hot and drooling, nor did he show envy to the rich and noble, knowing that this person was either from an extraordinary background and knowledgeable, or he was doing things for the master's family.

Thinking about this, the man's teeth and flattering little steps ran towards Su Qingluan: "This little Langjun wants to see the 'goods'?" ”

Su Qingluan is dressed in men's clothes today, and the teenagers are indeed indistinguishable from male and female, so they are called "Lang Jun".

However, she didn't care about the title, she just glanced at a row of tall and short "goods" as if it was commonplace, and said in a flat tone: "I want two hands and feet to help move things, and it is more affordable." ”

So, the man's teeth skipped the Kunlun slaves, and gave priority to pushing the two fourteen or fifteen-year-old thin young men in front: "These two, don't look at them thin, they have the strength to handle them." As he spoke, the man's teeth and chin were furrowed, and the two men immediately each went to the roadside and carried several adobe bricks stacked together, and moved them over with a chirp.

"I still haven't eaten yet." Ren Yazi smiled, "If you are full, you have to use it more, you see that such a use only needs this number per person, how cost-effective!" As he spoke, the man's teeth gestured.

Su Qingluan looked at the two half-grown teenagers, although they had sound limbs and a lot of strength, but their eyes were blank, and they didn't have the slightest idea of running away.

It's not that they don't want to run, it's that they can't run - they sign a deed of sale to become slaves, and without a household registration card, even if they escape, they will be caught and subject to harsh criminal punishments.

So after Su Qingluan "bought" them, although the buyer was very thin and short, these two people also followed obediently, and they didn't have the idea of running away at all.

It's not the first time that Su Qingluan has "bought" people, they all bought them with the front foot, and let them finish their work with the back foot, and directly gave them the deed of sale to let them go.

She can't change the phenomenon of rampant human teeth herself, but she can't get used to the kind of things that use people as "tools".

This time was no exception.

Su Qingluan first took the two teenagers to a noodle stall to have a full meal, and then hired a cart driver to drive a donkey cart and put everything he wanted to buy on it. And the two teenagers were responsible for helping to move bottles, cans, pots and pans up and down.

The items that need to be bought are basically made by Su Qingluan in advance, with a goal, and no pursuit of high quality, the town can basically buy what you want. So just after noon, the things I want to buy are basically ready.

Su Qingluan instructed the coachman to drive the ox cart to the back of the shop, and began to direct the two teenagers to toss things down, and put them in the same place.

The front and back doors of this shop are directly transparent, the front façade opens directly to the main street, and the back door leads directly to the backyard.

If it is normal business, there will be shelves and all kinds of furnishings in this store, so if the front and back doors are not open and standing at a certain height, according to Su Qingluan's position in the backyard, it is basically impossible to see the main street.

However, this shop is not open now, and even because Su Qingluan has not thought about what to do with the best shop in this area, this place has been regarded as half a warehouse, and only some bulky things such as stoves are placed in the corner, which is basically equivalent to a vacant state.

It was precisely because of this that Su Qingqing saw Liu Yunniang hurrying by on the street at a glance.

Liu Yunniang's expression flickered, Su Qingluan didn't see it very clearly, but she looked a little anxious when she looked at the action.

Su Qingluan hurriedly stepped over from the back threshold, and did not forget to give an order to let the two "slaves" and the coachman work hard, and then turned his head and shouted: "Yun Niang, Liu Yun Niang!" ”

The girl's voice was already on the high side, and Su Qingluan was only thirteen or fourteen years old, which was the age when the voice was clear. As soon as she raised her voice like this, Liu Yunniang was not far away, so she naturally heard it.

She stopped and turned around, and saw Su Qingluan coming out of a shop and hurriedly running towards her.

Running closer, Su Qingluan looked Liu Yunniang up and down: "Where are you in such a hurry?" Shouldn't I be with your father? ”

Suddenly, Su Qingluan thought that she didn't seem to see Xi Niangzi today, so she hurriedly grabbed Liu Yunniang's sleeve: "Xi Niangzi didn't come either, is it ......?" Could it be that her Uncle Liu ...... Oh no?
