V1.Chapter 35

Sleeping at night, the family of three covered Yu Wan's newly bought (pulled) quilt. The quilt was very light and thin. Yu Wan worried that it would not be warm enough, so she added a thick quilt of her own on top.

As a result, they slept until midnight, and the family of three heated up steamed shrimp together, and the mattress was soaked through...

The breakfast is the leftover white flour steamed buns and braised vegetables from last night, which can be eaten hot.

When the steamed buns and marinated vegetables were steaming in the pot, Yu Wan went to the pigsty.

There are no pigs in the pig sty. Yu Wan has cleaned it very well, and now it is used to raise chickens.

In order to keep the pheasants warm, Yu Wan surrounded the periphery with cotton cloth. Although it was not as warm as a wall, it was much better than sleeping in the open air, and Yu Wan also burned a brazier beside the chicken coop.

Pheasants are kept in different coops.

Yu Wan touched them one by one, and when she touched the third one, she paused, "You haven't laid eggs yet?"

Did not drop yesterday.

"Awan." Yu Feng knocked on the back door of the kitchen house. He was here to take Yu Wan to the town to buy food. Thinking that Little Tie Dan and Aunt San were still asleep, it would be inconvenient to wake them up, so he went around the back door. .

Yu Wan opened the door for Yu Feng.

Yu Feng saw the two eggs in her hand and said, "How about collecting the eggs?"

The cold wind blowing in made Yu Wanzhi shiver, she hurriedly ushered Yu Feng in, closed the back door and said, "There is a chicken that won't lay eggs, I'm thinking, if I sell it in the town later, it should be able to sell. Good price."

As soon as she finished speaking, a crisp cluck came from the chicken coop!

Yu Feng ran over to take a look: "Huh? It's laying eggs."

...

After Yu Wan dipped in the marinade and ate a steamed bun with white noodles, she set out on the road with Yu Feng.

They went to Shuanzi's house to rent a bullock cart as usual, but unfortunately the bullock cart broke down, so the two had to walk.

Yu Wan was used to walking, but she didn't think it was far. Besides, she could save money by walking.

Don't look at the fact that they can eat meat every now and then, but that's just because they are in the braised meat business. Apart from the high cost of ingredients, salt and other condiments, they really don't have much money.

And they need to collect 100 taels of medical fees, and there is really still a distance of thousands of peaks.

But as long as they work hard, Yu Wan believes that they will be able to earn it one day.

"You don't need to buy vegetarian vegetables. I have already told the villagers that when the time comes to pick them in their fields, they will pay the market price." On the way, Yu Feng said against the cold wind that was hunting like a knife.

Yu Wan nodded. The proportion of vegetarian dishes is not large, and it may not be easy to make reservations at the market. It is best to find villagers to buy them. Besides, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. For the same price, it is not better for the villagers to earn more money. ?

As for meat dishes, it must be purchased from the market.

The two first went to the market where Yu Wan had sold live fish and winter bamboo shoots.

"How to sell pork belly?" Yu Wan asked, pointing to a beautiful long pork belly.

The stall owner said, "Twenty cents a pound."

Yu Wan paused: "So expensive? Wasn't he only eighteen yesterday?"

The stall owner chopped a pig's trotter and said: "You will be twenty-two tomorrow! The price is one per day, and it is the same throughout the year. Even if you go to other places to ask, there is no lower price."

Yu Wan didn't believe it at first, and dragged Yu Feng around the market for a full circle, but as the stall owner said, there was nothing lower: "Brother, is there any other market in the town?"

"Yes, there is one more."

The two brothers and sisters went to another market, but what is embarrassing is that this market is more expensive than the previous one because it is closer to Beizhenkou.

"We still have to buy salt. The cost of ingredients is too high and we will lose money." Although Yu Wan didn't plan to make much money, it didn't mean she wanted to do a loss-making business.

Yu Feng thought about it and said, "There is a market in Xitou Village. I heard that the food there is cheap, but it's too far away."

A goose feather-like snow fell in the sky, and the two of them walked for more than ten miles in the snow before finally arriving at the market in Xitou Village.

Yu Wan's ears were frozen red, her hands were stiff, her face was numb, and she couldn't even speak a word.

Sadly, the food here is not cheap at all...

"Why are you here?" A carriage stopped beside Yu Wan, the curtain was lifted, and Bai Tang looked at the two brothers and sisters.

Yu Wan said with difficulty: "I, let's, come, buy, vegetables."

"What kind of food do you buy and travel so far? Is there no one in the market?" Bai Tang asked.

"Buy, Bai, Lao, Ye, Shou, Banquet, Shang, Food, Vegetables." Yu Wan said word by word, it wasn't that she wanted to speak so slowly, her cheeks were really stiff.

Bai Tang Xingyuan said with round eyes: "I didn't make it clear yesterday? I'll buy the ingredients, you just have to do it with the past!"

Hearing this, even Yu Wan, who has always been calm, couldn't help being stunned. Miss Bai promised five taels of silver, didn't she mean to let them bring their own ingredients? Can they make so much money in the past by only cooking stewed vegetables for one day? !

What kind of prodigy is this...

Bai Tang saw that Yu Wan couldn't speak easily, she knew she was frozen, and sighed, "Get in the car, I'll take you back."

Yu Feng was inconvenient to enter, and only sat outside with the driver, but Bai Tang gave him a thick cashmere blanket, which he wrapped around him and felt like it was on fire.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village.

Yu Wan, who had recovered, sincerely thanked her.

Bai Tang waved his hand and said, "I will send someone to pick you up the day after tomorrow."

Yu Wan said politely, "It's not far from the town, we can go there by ourselves."

Bai Tang raised her eyebrows: "Who said my home is in town?"

...

In the afternoon, the snow was getting heavier, the wind and snow outside the house, but it was as warm as late spring in the warm pavilion.

The red charcoal was burning hot.

Madam Yan only wore a thin short jacket, but she didn't feel cold at all.

In front of her, Steward Du from the kitchen was asking her to give instructions: "...The venison is ready, do you want to prepare some fresh donkey meat? They all say, dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground, use it to entertain distinguished guests, It couldn't be more appropriate, but for the price..."

Du Guanshi said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Madam Yan stroked the lazy white cat in her arms and snorted coldly, "Does our general's mansion seem like people who are short of money now? What is good, how can you be considerate, you just do it, you don't need to ask about everything? Me, you just have to remember that the princess and Young Master Yan are also coming to the banquet, so don’t neglect them!”

Du Guanshi was shocked: "Yes! Madam!"

Boom! Boom! dong dong dong dong!

Not far away, there was a deafening drumbeat.

The white cat in Madam Yan's arms was frightened and jumped away with a meow.

Mrs. Yan frowned: "Who is so daring to beat the drums in the house? I don't know if the lady is resting after traveling for so long? Go and shoot that desperate servant out!"

Du Guanshi touched his nose and said embarrassingly: "It's not our mansion, it's the Bai mansion next door. I heard that his master is going to have a birthday, so he specially invited the opera troupe back from outside."

－－－－－－off topic－－－－－

Ninth brother, are you going to the Yan family's seat?

Young Master Yan: Don't go.

I heard that Wanwan is next door.

Nine brothers, nine brothers, nine brothers? Eh? What about people? !
