Chapter 37 Tofu 2
"Huh?" Ruan Yue looked at her cheap dad in surprise, "Daddy, are you sure you want to go with me?" ”
Ruan Yongqi nodded with a dark face, "However, you can't go like this, you have to make your face ugly, it's too dangerous to go out like this." ”
"That's easy!" Ruan Yue smiled, ran to the stove room, took a bowl and scraped some ash at the bottom of the pot, ran back to the house, took a box of red rouge hidden in her sleeve pocket, added the ash at the bottom of the pot to the rouge little by little, until the color turned reddish-brown, and asked Ruan Ming for a piece of paper, and deducted an irregular hole in the middle of the copper coin.
Stick the paper on her face, use a cloth dipped in discolored rouge to wipe it on the broken place, wipe it with her hands, take the paper away, and a reddish-brown birthmark appeared on her face, taking advantage of her palm-sized little face, it is simply impossible to look at it directly.
She took out her charcoal pen and drew her two slender eyebrows thickly, and she shone it on the water in the basin, almost unrecognizable to herself.
When she came out with this customized birthmark, the Ruan family was stunned, this was not like their daughter at all.
Ruan Yue shook beside them with a smile and said, "How is it, is this ugly enough?" ”
Lu Chunniang looked at her, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "If you go out like this in the future, you will be in chaos, so safe." ”
"Uh-huh. Right! The adults of the Ruan family all nodded, only Ruan Ming looked at Ruan Yue, who had become ugly, and asked worriedly, "Sister, will you ever change back?" So, well, it's not very good-looking. ”
"Yes! When we have the ability, we will change back. Ruan Yue touched his serious little face and said with a smile.
"Daddy, can you go out now?" Ruan Yue looked at Ruan Yongqi and said.
"Good! I'll go with you. Ruan Yongqi said and stood up, ready to go out with Ruan Yue.
Mrs. Ruan smiled and said to Ruan Yue: "Since your father is going with you, then I won't go, you be careful." ”
Ruan Yue nodded, put the basket on her back, and went out of the house with Ruan Yongqi one after the other.
As Ruan Yue, who went out for the first time here, followed Ruan Yongqi and slowly walked out of this place of residence and came to a lively street.
The streets are quite lively here, after all, the government does not let them out, but people's lives have to go on, the stores that should be opened have been opened, and there are no fewer vendors setting up stalls.
Ruan Yue sighed with emotion: "There is chaos outside, but here it is prosperous. ”
"Do you think they're all voluntary? The government issued an ultimatum to allow all businesses to operate normally, otherwise they would be fined or detained. Ruan Yongqi sighed and said, "It's a stupid girl like you who wants to do business." ”
Ruan Yue smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this thinking that in case this place is not safe, we still have the money to continue to run for our lives." ”
Ruan Yongqi glanced at him approvingly and said, "What Ah Yue said is that we have to make some money. Why don't you do your business, and I'll set up a letter writing stall next to you, do you think it's okay? ”
"Okay. With Daddy by my side, I'm not afraid. Ruan Yue happily agreed with Ruan Yongqi's method, otherwise she would be embarrassed to let her father sell tofu with her.
While the two were talking, they actually arrived at the money village, Ruan Yongqi stretched out his hand and said to Ruan Yue, "Ah Yue, give me the silver, let's go in and exchange it for broken silver, and then exchange it for some copper coins, such a big silver, ordinary shops can't find it." ”
Ruan Yue suddenly realized, and hurriedly gave the silver to Ruan Yongqi, if she didn't follow him, she would probably take ten taels of silver to buy cloth.
followed Ruan Yongqi into the bank, exchanged some broken silver and two copper coins, and the two of them stuffed the copper coins into the back basket, covered them with rags, and walked to the cloth village not far away.
There are many varieties of cloth in it, Ruan Yue picked the softest cotton cloth and bought two zhang, kept it for Dog Dan and Ruan Ming to make clothes, and bought two zhang of cyan cotton cloth and two zhang of white cotton cloth to prepare a change of clothes for everyone.
Ruan Yue thought about it and bought a dense linen cloth, some needlework and thread, and finally bought rags with the shopkeeper, and the total cost was five taels of silver.
After going out, Ruan Yue couldn't help but complain: "This cloth is really expensive." ”
Ruan Yongqi smiled helplessly, "Cloth has always been expensive, but these are at least more than half more expensive than usual, if we didn't lose all our clothes, we wouldn't have to buy these." ”
"Daddy, don't feel sorry for this silver, we'll be able to earn it back soon. Go to the grocery store, I'm going to buy two big baskets, this big. Ruan Yue drew a circle about a meter in size with her hand.
"Okay, do you want to buy anything else?"
"It's better to buy a big wooden barrel, and a large wooden tub will do. Also, it's best to buy the scale, otherwise you can only divide it by hand, I'm afraid I can't divide it. Ruan Yue muttered all the way to Ruan Yongqi about what she wanted to buy.
When passing by a bookstore, she suddenly patted her thigh and said, "I almost forgot to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”
"yes, yes, let's go in and have a look." Ruan Yongqi also thought about it, maybe he could also meet the copyist.
The two entered the bookstore, and the guy in the bookstore was a very good person, seeing that Ruan Yongqi was dressed as a literati, although it was a little shabby, but he was dressed very cleanly, and received them patiently.
I took them the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that Ruan Yongqi wanted, and originally wanted to take the cheapest paper, but they were stopped by Ruan Yue, and changed to a medium one, and they wanted to write for others, so they couldn't look too shabby.
After leaving the bookstore, the two went to the grocery store and bought a pair of scissors, two baskets, two large wooden barrels, a steaming drawer, two benches and a small low table.
Ruan Yue actually found a small iron pot inside, the pot was not big, and there was an iron stove underneath, and this thing also had to burn charcoal, so she bought another bag of charcoal.
Ruan Yue smiled and walked out of the grocery store, so that she really couldn't live here anymore, and she could eat some stir-fried vegetables on the way, instead of only boiling, roasting, and roasting, and her mouth was sick.
The only pity is that she didn't buy a scale, she ordered a rod with the shopkeeper, and I don't know when it will be available.
They went to the grain store again, bought five buckets of noodles, five buckets of corn, and five buckets of soybeans, beat ten catties of soybean oil, and bought some seeds that could grow quickly.
Ruan Yue looked inside for a long time, the main food here is flour, corn, japonica rice, sorghum, soybeans, red beans, many things she needs are not available in this era, but I don't know if the system can let him draw some seeds, and when he can afford to buy seeds, he can try to breed, she misses the sweet boiled corn, misses her favorite potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes.
Ruan Yongqi looked at him in a daze, and said to the grain store that he would come over to pull the grain for a while, and then walked back with the basket on his back, sighing that the money could not help but be spent as he walked, and after a while, there was only less than one tael of ten taels of silver left.
When he got home, Ruan's father drove the car and pulled everything back with Ruan Yongqi, and all kinds of things filled the kitchen.
