Chapter 207: The Beginning of Returning to the Old Business
Chapter 207 The beginning of returning to the old business
Early in the morning, I called up Nan Yan and her four sisters and followed them.
Nan Yan, dressed in a smart outfit, was riding on a horse with high spirits.
Nan Qi was eager to give it a try: "Mom, I also want to ride a horse."
Although the Xia Dynasty's treatment of women was no different from that of other dynasties in history.
But the Xia Dynasty did not treat women at all well.
In this dynasty, women may have gone out on horseback or archery.
Nanqi, Nanshu, even Nanning also learned horse riding.
Nanning is already a child, her personality is less out-of-the-box, and she is much more prudent in her work. She does not join in the fun with the three little ones and just sits in the carriage honestly.
Only Nanqi and Nanshu sisters saw Nanyan riding a horse, and they wanted to ride too.
Fahrenheit is not the kind of person who blindly educates his children according to the old rules, does not let his daughter have too much contact with the outside world, and pampers his daughter.
When my daughter said she wanted to ride, she just told her to "be careful" and asked the servants to ride behind her to protect her.
Nan Yan is the eldest among the three and is the elder sister. She cannot leave her two cousins alone.
Call the two of them to the side, and you and I will ride out of the city.
Anyang Temple is a bit far from the capital, and it takes more than two hours to ride a horse.
Nan Yan and her group set off at around six in the morning and arrived at the temple at eight o'clock.
Asking the boy to park the carriage, the four Nan Yan sisters walked slowly behind Kong Shangci and Hua Shi.
"Peach blossoms, peach blossoms, someone can buy them for five cents a piece, peach blossoms..."
Nan Yan heard the hawker's cries and subconsciously stopped.
Recalling that when I went to offer incense with He Sanniang in Linzhou, He Sanniang had bought peach blossoms for her.
Nan Yan thought of the little girl with a smile like a flower, walking to the peach blossom vendor and saying, "Bring me ten peach blossoms."
"Oh, okay, miss, please wait a moment."
When Nan Yan got the peach blossoms, she asked Zi Su to hold them carefully and go back to give a few to He Sanniang.
Nan Yan had just finished explaining Zi Su when she heard someone shouting next to her: "Sister Yan'er..."
Nan Yan turned around and saw He Sanniang standing behind her.
Nan Yan smiled and said: "I also said that I would give you peach blossoms when I get back."
With that said, he took Zi Su and handed over the peach blossoms, and selected six of them with particularly good blooms to give to He Sanniang.
He Sanniang smiled brightly and took the peach blossom, put it to her nose, smelled it and said, "It smells very good."
Nan Yan also smelled it and smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms. She looked at each other and smiled at He Sanniang and said, "Flowers, they smell good."
After Zhu Shijie arrived, Nan Yan picked out some Linzhou specialties and had them delivered to He Sanniang.
On the second and third days of the Lunar New Year, she went to Yu's house to pay New Year greetings to He Sanniang.
He Sanniang also came to her house to pay her New Year's greetings. Now the two of them got together and talked about how they spent the first New Year in their hometown.
The two talked and returned to the team.
He Sanniang, a married woman from Nanning, went to listen to Buddhist lectures with several adults after offering incense.
Nan Yan, Nan Shu, and Nan Qi, three unmarried girls, didn't want to go, so they waited outside in the pavilion.
Nan Yan didn't want to sit in the pavilion and enjoy the cold wind, so she told Sister Nan Qi.
I took Zi Su, Miss Wang and the others to go shopping.
There are no streets outside Anyang Temple.
A lot of people come here to offer incense on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
Villagers from several nearby villages would bring their belongings to sell.
Therefore, a small street market was formed.
"We sell bean sprouts... freshly sprouted bean sprouts, if you need them, you can come and buy them..."
"Selling bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, home-made bamboo baskets..."
"Selling headbands..."
Nan Yan walked aimlessly on the path, listening to the cries of various vendors on the street.
Among them, Nan Yan heard the sound of selling bean sprouts most clearly.
When I heard someone shouting about selling bean sprouts, I looked forward and asked, "Master, how do you sell bean sprouts?"
The man selling bean sprouts is a dark-skinned middle-aged man.
When the man saw someone coming to inquire, he immediately said: "Girl, the bean sprouts in the basin were just sprouted by my wife yesterday.
It's fresh now, if a girl buys it for three pennies a pound."
Nan Yan also distributes bean sprouts, so there is no need to buy them outside.
The bean sprout recipe bought by the man in front of her was donated by her.
I came here to inquire just because I wanted to see the price of bean sprouts.
However, although she could grow bean sprouts, she was the first person to sell bean sprouts in the Xia Dynasty.
She will buy one.
After buying two kilograms of bean sprouts, Nan Yan saw a man selling honey with a four or five-year-old boy.
Nan Yan moved forward with a thought: "Master, how do you sell honey?"
When Wang Laoer heard someone asking about honey, he showed an honest smile and stumbled: "Girl, the honey I bought costs fifteen cents per catty. If...if the girl needs it, it can be cheaper."
Nan Yan took a look at the honey and saw a few bees buzzing in the honey barrel.
I know this honey is wild honey.
Nan Yan gave Zi Su a look, and Zi Su, who had already tempered herself, immediately took over the words: "Brother, our ladies have all bought your honey.
But let me ask you.
Do you still have honey at home? If so, we will collect it as well."
Wang Laoer set up a stall here, so it’s not like he didn’t sell some honey.
It’s just those people who don’t buy much.
She originally thought that the girl in front of her would only buy a few pounds to eat.
Unexpectedly, this girl wanted to buy all the honey in his bucket.
If this girl doesn't seduce him, it would be the best if he really buys it all.
Wang Laoer smiled and said: "Girl, all the honey I collected this time is here. I have lost it at home. If the girl needs it, how about I go pick it back tomorrow and send it to you in the city?"
The situation when he was tongue-tied also disappeared.
Fortunately, I found this hive the day before yesterday. There is a hive not far away.
If the girl wants to buy it, he can continue to go to the mountains to pick it.
Zi Su glanced at Nan Yan and saw Nan Yan nodding. Zi Su pretended to be thoughtful and said, "That's okay. If you collect the honey, send it directly to Nanfu on West Street. Someone will pick you up there."
Although Wang Laoer is a villager, he has some knowledge of the Jingli family.
Zi Su said to the Nan family, Wang Laoer and Wang Laoer confirmed the address and promised to deliver it to Nan Yan tomorrow.
Zi Su gave him money to buy honey this time, and also gave him a deposit of 100 cents. The boy from the Nan family left with a wooden bucket of honey.
Wang Laoer picked up his son and said, "Huzi, daddy will take you to buy candied haws."
Five-year-old Wang Hu sucked and said, "Okay!"
Wang Laoer happily picked up his son and went to buy two bunches of candied haws and look for his wife to buy a bamboo basket.
When Mrs. Jin saw her man coming over, she took her son and said angrily: "Why did you buy him candied haws?"
Tanghulu is not expensive in the eyes of wealthy people.
In the eyes of poor people, candied haws wrapped in syrup is a good thing.
Wang Laoer scratched his head, "All the honey I brought today was sold. I thought Hu Zi had never eaten anything good, so I bought him a bunch of honey."
As he said that, he took out another bunch and gave it to Da Ya who was standing in front of the stall, "Ya'er, come here, dad bought it for you, eat it quickly!"
Wang Daya's eyes sparkled and she carefully took the candied haws of apples and said softly: "Thank you, dad." Then while swallowing her saliva, she said: "Mom and dad eat one first, and then I'll eat it."
Wang Laoer was also greedy for that layer of red sugar.
He is not a child, so how can he compete with children for food?
Wang Laoer refused and said, "Dad, if you don't want to eat it, please eat it quickly."
Wang Daya is a sensible child. She doesn't listen to her father and insists that her parents eat one before she eats it.
After the family of four finished eating the candied haws, Wang Laoer said in his wife's ear: "Daughter-in-law, the girl who bought honey today said that if we have honey, she will accept it."
