185 Ancient Preparations
185 Preparation in ancient times
"Xiao Cui, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Xiao Cui's expression seemed to have frozen, Ouyang Xinyu shook his hand in front of her eyes and asked her.
"Miss Xinyu, then do what you said! How do you want Xiao Cui to cooperate with you?" According to Ouyang Xinyu's words, maybe the whereabouts of their Miss Wan'er could be found. In that way, Miss Xinyu would be truly relieved, and Xiao Cuiya would not have to follow her and live a life of fear every day. Thinking of this, Xiao Cuiya was about to give up, and she replied to Ouyang Xinyu.
"Xiao Cui, are you really willing to help me? That's great! Without further ado, let's do it tomorrow!" After hearing that Xiao Cui's girl finally agreed to help her, Ouyang Xinyu replied to her excitedly.
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow may we be able to go out?" Hearing Ouyang Xinyu's explanation that it would take action tomorrow. Tomorrow is a special day, and the master may not let them go out! Xiao Cuiya reminded Ouyang Xinyu a little worriedly.
"If it doesn't work tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow! If it doesn't work the day after tomorrow, it's the day after tomorrow! I don't believe it. We can't get out during this period!" When Ouyang Xinyu heard Xiao Cuiya's worry, she was determined and said to Xiao Cuiya firmly.
"I hope so! Well, Miss Xinyu, what do we need to prepare now?" Seeing Ouyang Xinyu's expression so firm, Xiao Cuiya knew what she wanted. So she asked her straight to the point.
"What we need most now is iron hooks and hemp ropes. The iron hooks and hemp ropes should be stronger. It is best to prepare a pair of straw-woven shoes to prevent slipping under the cliffs and falling down!" When Xiao Cuiya asked her what she wanted to prepare, Ouyang Xinyu replied to her.
"There are some of these things in the mansion. However, we must not be able to do them in the mansion! If we take these things out of the mansion during the day, the goal will be too big, and we will definitely expose our goal before we can leave the mansion! If Tie Gou says that tomorrow morning, we will go to the blacksmith shop on West Street to buy them." After hearing Ouyang Xinyu say that the three things she wants were not difficult, but not easy. Xiao Cuiya told Ouyang Xinyu that she had all the things she wanted in the mansion, but in order to cover up, they could not take them out directly from the mansion during the day. Tie Gou says it is easy to deal with, and the blacksmith shop will have to be sold. The other two are not easy!
"In this case, we will go to the blacksmith shop to buy the iron hook! Then, where are the hemp ropes and straw sandals?" After hearing Xiao Cuiya's words, Ouyang Xinyu thought that what she said made sense. The iron hook was solved, where are the hemp ropes and straw sandals?
"The hemp rope and straw sandals are a bit troublesome. There are no farmers nearby. If there are farmers, we can borrow them from farmers. Last time, our Miss Wan'er borrowed the hemp rope from farmers!" When Ouyang Xinyu mentioned the hemp rope and straw sandals, Xiao Cuiyatou immediately looked embarrassed and said to Ouyang Xinyu.
"Xiao Cui, did you not have a store selling hemp ropes and straw sandals in ancient times?" Suddenly, Ouyang Xinyu asked Xiao Cuiya with whimsical thoughts.
"Miss Xinyu, those who want to use these things are poor families, and the rich don't need them at all. Do you think that the poor in ancient times had money to buy hemp ropes and straw sandals? Generally, they were knitted by themselves! How could there be any shops that specialize in selling these? Unless...!" Could it be that they have a shop that specializes in selling hemp ropes and straw sandals in modern times? After hearing Ouyang Xinyu's question, Xiao Cuiya did not make fun of her, but explained to her seriously.
"Xiao Cui, unless it's something? You're done!" After listening to Xiao Cui's explanation, Ouyang Xinyu really felt that she didn't know much about this ancient world. How could people in ancient times be so poor? They were so poor that they couldn't afford hemp ropes and straw sandals? When Ouyang Xinyu heard the words "unless" appear in Xiao Cui Yatou's words, she urgently asked Xiao Cui Yatou.
"Unless at a market or temple fair, someone will put hemp ropes, straw sandals, and straw hats on the stalls to sell!" Xiao Cuiya was still wondering whether to mention the market and temple fairs to Ouyang Xinyu. When she heard Ouyang Xinyu want to know so eagerly, she still said it.
"When will there be a market or temple fair?" Ouyang Xinyu asked Xiao Cuiya excitedly when she mentioned that she might buy what they needed at markets and temple fairs.
"The temple fair is only held during festivals, that is, the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and other grand festivals. The market is organized by some vendors themselves, and there is no special time regulation." Xiao Cuiya explained to Ouyang Xinyu.
"Xiao Cui, as you say this, isn't it because we can't find hemp rope and straw sandals if the market is not opened in the town recently?" Unexpectedly, she was excited and got only a vision of Xiao Cui Yatou. Ouyang Xinyu's excitement suddenly cooled down, and she asked Xiao Cui Yatou with a sense of frustration. The hope that had finally ignited was soon shattered.
"It's not like this, but if we use other methods, we will take a lot of risks!" Seeing Ouyang Xinyu's completely disappointed, Xiao Cuiya couldn't bear to break her hopes. So she told Ouyang Xinyu another method.
"Then, is there any other way to get hemp rope and straw sandals?" When Xiao Cuiya said there were other ways, but he had to take a lot of risks. Ouyang Xinyu immediately felt hope floating in the field, and she immediately asked Xiao Cuiya.
"Yes, that's to take advantage of the night, we secretly took it out of the firewood in Shangguan's house!" Xiao Cuiya replied to Ouyang Xinyu.
"How do you get it?" Ouyang Xinyu continued to ask Xiao Cuiya.
"Tonight, we secretly took the straw ropes and straw sandals from the woodshed to the stable. Tomorrow morning, we will take it directly from the stable to the edge of the cliff. There should be ready-made ones in the Iron Hood Blacksmith Shop. We will just buy them by the blacksmith shop!" Xiao Cuiya said with great emotion, and she replied to Ouyang Xinyu.
"Well, that's OK! It's already evening now, when will we start to do it?" Ouyang Xinyu couldn't wait to hear that they were going to the woodshed to steal hemp ropes and straw sandals today. She asked Xiao Cuiya excitedly.
