Before the carriage set off, Qin Zhiyi specially packed the two children's clothes.

It's different to have two more children starting on your own.

She thought that the two little ones would feel uncomfortable due to the bumps in the carriage.

Fortunately, the two little guys were very curious along the way. They kept opening the windows and looking out. The carriage was much faster than the ox-cart, and they arrived in the town in a short time.

As soon as she got off the carriage, Erni was attracted by the lively streets.

The town is much more lively than before. It's this time of year, and there are also people selling candied haws, candy men, eggs, steamed buns, and sugar water.

In addition, there are some vendors selling pastries.

In Erni's eyes, these are all extremely rare.

Seeing Er Ni looking at her eagerly, Dabao immediately guessed his sister's thoughts and asked in a low voice: "Does my sister want to eat candied haws?"

Erni nodded vigorously.

In fact, Dabao also wants to, but if his sister is too embarrassed to speak, he will take the initiative to bring it up.

At this moment, he raised his little face and looked at Qin Zhiyi: "Mom, can you buy me a bunch of candied haws?"

The little guy is too serious. Even when you talk to him, he has an expressionless face.

This resulted in the feeling that even though he was young, people were afraid to approach him.

She knew that the candied haws sold by street vendors cost five cents per bunch, which was particularly easy to calculate.

Unexpectedly, I grabbed a handful of copper coins from my purse and put them in his hand.

When the little guy was holding it with her hands, she took a look and saw that there should be twelve in total.

Then he said to him: "I'll give you the money. How about you go buy it for you and your sister? This money should be enough to buy two bunches. You can decide what to do by yourself."

Dabao held the money in both hands, looked at it seriously, and then nodded.

"Brother, I'm coming with you!"

Erni happily stuck behind him, and the two little guys approached the hawker.

The hawker was stopped by the two of them, and he didn't know what they said. Dabao started counting the money.

In the end, the two of them each had a bunch of candied haws on a stick and brought back the remaining two cents.

She looked carefully and saw that Dabao asked about the price before buying it, which pleased her very much.

When I looked back at Fei Chengsheng, I saw that he was looking at the two little guys, with fatherly tenderness and hope in his eyes.

She didn't look carefully before, so she didn't realize that Fei Chengsheng looked at the two little guys like this. Now that she saw it, she was even more relieved to live with him in the future.

After taking the candied haws, the two little guys were very happy, and Dabao finally looked like a child.

What made a few people even more satisfied was that because the nursery rhyme was catchy and easy to memorize, not only the few beggars they taught could sing it, but also the dolphins walking on the street were singing this nursery rhyme in their mouths, and the effect was great.

Surprisingly good.

When they arrived at the restaurant, He Changxuan took the initiative to greet them, greeted them first, and then hurried towards the two little guys.

"Dabao, Erni! Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I really miss you!"

After saying that, he held them both in his arms.

Erni grinned generously and said: "Erni also misses brother Chang Xuan. Brother Chang Xuan, do you want to eat candied haws on a stick?"

Dabao also squeezed out a sentence at this time: "Brother Chang Xuan, how are you doing here recently?"

Dabao Erni and He Changxuan were chatting aside, and they entered the restaurant first.

The pots and pans in the kitchen are all ready-made, and the inside of the restaurant has also been renovated. Counting the days, it will be opened in six days.

When she came this time, in addition to checking out the restaurant and the ladies bought by He Changxuan, she also wanted the chef to make some side dishes such as kimchi. When the customers eat, it would be great to give them some kimchi to go with the meal to relieve their tiredness.

The waiter followed her instructions and bought a lot of cabbage. After cleaning it, a group of people in the kitchen began to wash, cut and pickle the cabbage.

Cabbage has a lot of water, cut it into shreds, add some sugar and sprinkle with salt, pinch it a little and set it aside for later use.

Finally, add the chopped garlic, Sichuan peppercorns and chili pepper segments, and finally pour vinegar. Don’t use too much vinegar. Leave the food for a few days and it will naturally ferment. By then, it will be sour, spicy and refreshing pickled cabbage.

The restaurant has a large jar specially used for pickling vegetables. I made two jars in total and used more than 100 kilograms of cabbage.

After these things were finished, He Changxuan said to her: "Sister Ayi, when I went to Ya Po's house to ask, she had a few good women there. I thought of bringing them to you to see what you are doing.

Which one you need, pick it first.”

She nodded, feeling that He Changxuan's arrangement was appropriate. After a while, Ya Po had already led several women over.

There are four women in total, all aged between forty and fifty.

Qin Zhiyi took a cursory glance and saw that the women all had their heads lowered, looking like they were at the mercy of others.

She thought for a while and then asked: "You guys tell me what you know. Since I want to buy you, I will definitely not buy something for free."

When Yapo heard this, she immediately scolded: "Did you hear what my wife said? Why don't you tell your wife quickly?"

The first one came forward and said: "I used to be a cook. Later, my master's family fell into decline, so he sold me. In addition to being good at cooking and sweeping, I am also very strong. I can carry grain and rice in my master's warehouse."

When I was there, I could carry two bags by myself."

She nodded and looked at the other one.

Another old woman said respectfully: "I used to teach the young lady how to read some poems and calligraphy. Then there was a disaster at home, so we fled here together. We don't have much savings, and the young lady is married. There is no need for me, an old woman, to teach her."

Poems, books and female celebrities sold me."

Qin Zhiyi listened and felt that the fate of women in ancient times was tragic.

These women have dedicated their whole lives to their masters, and have no children or relatives. Generally, the masters of such slaves will provide for them in their old age.

If they get old and the owner sells them off, they will end up in a miserable state.

She asked one more question: "How is your female celebrity doing?"

In fact, it was enough for Aunt Guo to teach a few children poetry, calligraphy and female celebrities. She didn't expect Erni to learn well, as long as she knew what she should know.

The mother-in-law said: "It's not very exquisite, but it's still on the stage."

At this point, she took out a handkerchief from her arms and presented it to her with both hands: "Madam, this is the handkerchief I embroidered for myself before."

She reached out and took it. The handkerchief was embroidered with an orchid, one of the four gentlemen. The colors and details were lifelike, and the stitching was particularly beautiful. She was surprised to find that the other party was not only a good embroiderer, but also embroidered on both sides.

It's a pity that her restaurant business has just started to pick up. It would be a waste if she bought the woman who can embroider.

She sighed, handed the handkerchief to her mother-in-law, and said to her mother-in-law: "You can send her to the embroidery spinner to ask. Not only does she embroider beautifully, but she can also embroider on both sides. This kind of fine craftsmanship

Master, it is much better to go to embroidery and spinning than to follow me."

Yapo was very happy when she heard this.

She originally thought that these wives would stay in her hands, but she didn't expect that this woman had such a unique skill, so she hurriedly said to Qin Zhiyi: "Thank you, madam, for reminding me."
