Views:

Yu Xiaocao taught Zhenxiu Restaurant a few tomato dishes, and brought many unexpected customers to Zhenxiu Restaurant. Rare things are more expensive. Of course, the Yu family's tomatoes were sold at a high price, which was almost on par with some rare fruits. The Yu family's big tomato field has earned them a lot of wealth.

Although a large number of vegetables have been on the market, the Yu family's vegetables are much stronger than other people's vegetables in terms of taste and freshness. Therefore, although the prices of the Yu family's vegetables are slightly more expensive than others, the Yao family and Zhenxiu Restaurant still buy vegetables from the Yu family unshakably.

Of course, seasonal vegetables are much cheaper than in the beginning of spring. Gone are the days when vegetables were more expensive than pork!

When the first ray of morning light illuminates the peak of Xishan Mountain, the birds are still making their first cry in their nests. Yu Xiaocao got up to wash up very consciously, Xiao Shishi curled up under the blanket and looked at her enviously.

"If you want something, I'll go to Fucheng to buy it for you!" Xiaocao said to Xiaoshitou in the tone of a sister.

Xiao Shitou thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "There is nothing necessary, don't spend money on food and play, if you have cheap paper and pens, buy some for me. I think my handwriting is worse than the few people in the dormitory. Go up some."

"The few who live in your house are either from a scholarly family or from a wealthy family. Most of them have been enlightened at the age of three. How old are you before you can touch a pen? It's not ashamed to be a little worse than them!" Yu Xiaocao felt. Competitiveness is not a bad thing, but one should not be too obsessed with the number one ranking.

Xiao Shitou rolled over under the quilt, and said with a smile: "I'm not comparing myself with others. My husband also said that a good handwriting is also very helpful for future exams. I was originally enlightened later than others, and now I should be more uplifted." Go straight to catch up. If the pens and paper in Fucheng are cheaper than those in the town, take this opportunity to bring some more and keep it as a spare! I don’t need money from my family, my pocket money should be enough!”

Ever since Xiao Shitou went to study in the town, Xiaocao has never cut off his pocket money, at least 30 to 50 Wen a week, the little guy is reluctant to spend it, and plans to save it to buy stationery and so on. But the second sister was too thoughtful, and she was never short of pens and paper. Therefore, there are hundreds of Wen in his small treasury.

Yu Xiaocao walked over and pinched his little face, and said with a smile: "You should save those few coins for you to eat snacks! Don't worry about writing and ink, isn't there a second sister! Your second sister is rich now , there will be more money in the future! You can just study at ease and don't worry about other things!"

After Zhenxiu Restaurant's sweet-scented osmanthus duck became famous, the Yu family would have an income of at least a thousand taels a year. Not to mention providing for one child to study, even if all the children in the family are sent to school, it will not cost a lot of money. It's good to be rich and powerful!

"Uncle Yu, where is Xiaocao? Are you ready to go?" Zhao Han's voice reached the ears of the siblings.

Xiao Shitou chuckled, and said, "Second Sister, stop dawdling! Don't make Brother Han wait!"

"Here we come, we come!" Xiaocao hurriedly took the little bundle she packed yesterday, and rushed out of the house in a hurry.

Mrs. Liu was handing over the dry food on the road to her man. Seeing that Xiaocao was still wearing yesterday's clothes, she frowned and said, "Didn't I make you a new set of clothes? Hurry up and change!"

"This set is pretty good! You don't need to change it..." Xiaocao looked at the clothes on her body. Although they were made of coarse cloth, they had no patches or dirty marks. What should I change

Yu Hai chuckled: "Your mother told you to change it, so you can change it! Wear new clothes when you go out, as a sign of a good mood."

Yu Xiaocao wanted to say something, but was pushed into the room by her mother. Mrs. Liu took out a brand new embroidered jacket and skirt from the rattan box. The top is a duck-egg blue cross-collar embroidered short jacket with pinched waist, which is paired with dark blue ankle-length skirt pants. They were said to be culottes, but they looked no different from ordinary skirts, but they did have two trouser legs separated from the middle, which made it much more convenient for riding and walking.

Although the clothes were made of cotton, they were relatively fine muslin, well starched, and looked very stylish. It was the first time for Yu Xiaocao to wear such formal clothes after time travelling. She spun around in front of Mrs. Liu, put her hands on her face, and said with a smile, "Mom, am I beautiful?"

"Okay, don't be so cute! Sit down, mother will help you with a bun." Liu's hands were quite dexterous, and after a while, she combed her bun and tied a bow with a hair tie.

The waist-pinching short jacket lined the grass's slender waist so that he could not grasp it. The double bun, the pink and snow-white face, and the big eyes that were as bright as autumn water were so cute.

Zhao Han, who was saddling the little donkey, almost didn't recognize Yu Xiaocao when she saw her dressed up. After taking a closer look, he joked, "Hey, where did this Xiaojiabiyu come from? She looks good!"

Yu Xiaocao stared wide-eyed, put her hands on her hips, and said with a half-smile: "Brother Han, are you teasing me?"

Zhao Han blushed and didn't dare to look at her, and said, "I... I really compliment you!"

Mrs. Liu patted Xiaocao on the back hard, and said to Zhao Han: "Don't worry about this girl, she says crazy things from time to time! There's really nothing you can do about her! Hurry up and set off, be careful that you won't be able to reach Fucheng at night!!"

Xiaocao's back was so painful that she pouted, and muttered in a low voice: "If you hadn't told me to change clothes, we would have arrived in town soon. I just made a small joke with Brother Han, so it's so serious." hand. Am I still your own?"

"You picked it up from the sweet potato field!" Mrs. Liu cursed with a grin, and sent Xiaocao's father and daughter out of the house. Together with Yu Hai, you helped the daughter onto Xiao Hui's back, and said, "You two should ride The skills are not very good, ride slowly and be careful all the way!"

The saddle on Xiaohui's body was used by Zhao Han when he was a child, and it just fit on the little donkey. Fortunately, when Liu was making clothes, Xiaocao asked her to change the skirt into culottes, so she could sit on the saddle without any pressure. The wide trouser legs, like two pairs of skirts, swayed with the little donkey's steps.

At the beginning, Xiaocao was still a little nervous riding on the back of the donkey, and Zhao's father and son also slowed down their steps to match the footsteps of Yu's father and daughter.

Gradually, Xiaocao found a rhythm, and her body was no longer so stiff. The little donkey felt the master's relaxation, and his steps became more cheerful.

After being baptized by Lingshi water, Xiao Hui's spirituality is no worse than the Zhao family's two steeds. There was no need for Xiaocao to issue orders, the little donkey ran fast and steadily, even surpassing Yu Hai's pace, and the donkey ran ahead in the lead.

Even on the rugged mountain road, the grass does not feel the bumps, which is much more comfortable than riding a donkey cart. Xiaocao thought about whether she should ride a donkey next time she went to town.

Soon, Yu Hai gradually became proficient in his riding skills, and the speed of the group of four gradually increased. What surprised the Zhao family father and son was that the little donkey of the Yu family could keep up with three fine horses in terms of speed and stamina.

It was precisely because of the strength of the little donkey that the four of them arrived in Fucheng an hour earlier than expected.

After all, Fucheng is a Fucheng, much more prosperous than Tang Ancient Town. The street is wide and level, with shops lined on both sides, and the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky is sprinkled on the green tiles, red walls, and cornices of the pavilions. The three-story building with red bricks and green tiles, the shop signboard flags fluttering high, and the stream of horses and chariots... all show the prosperity of Fucheng.

Yu Xiaocao led the little donkey and stood in the bustling crowd, looking at the elegant, fresh, sincere, or sophisticated faces, and hearing the penetrating shouts of the vendors, And the occasional neighing of horses. A prosperous and prosperous world, prosperous like a dream...

Zhao Bufan has been to Fucheng more than once, and it is not uncommon to see such scenes. He softly consulted the Yu family's father and daughter: "Brother Haihai, should we find a place to live first, or just take a stroll?"

Yu Hai looked at his daughter and asked, "Cao'er, what do you think?"

"How about, let's find a place to settle down first, and Xiaohui and the horses will feed the fodder, rest up for a while, and then go out for a walk!" Anyway, we will stay in Fucheng for two nights, and tomorrow we have one day to go shopping. , not bad for a while.

Zhao Han immediately agreed: "Xiaocao, I know a night market, which is quite lively at night. There are many snacks from the north and the south, and you can find some cheaper things. You should like it!"

"Okay, okay! Go to the night market and eat snacks at night!" Yu Xiaocao has been running around for a living since she was fifteen or sixteen years old in her previous life. In this life, you still have to make money, but you have to take a leisurely pace and look at the scenery along the way in life.

The group of four found a clean small hotel near the night market that Zhao Han mentioned. After all, Fucheng is considered a big city, and its consumption level is higher than that of Tanggu Town. This small hotel located in a remote location costs 150 Wen for one night, and 600 Wen for four people who do not eat or drink for one night, and more than one tael of silver is gone for two nights!

Yu Xiaocao went to the backyard first, and took care of Xiao Hui and the three horses. Along the way, in order to maintain the physical strength of the horses, Xiaocao drank almost all the spirit stone water in the water bag with him.

The small hotel provided fodder for the horses. The three horses were fine, and they only drank a little water along the way. The little donkey, fed by the grass, stomped its hooves impatiently and dismissed the forage.

This small hotel is a family-style hotel, and the horse is fed by a little girl who is about the size of Xiaocao. Seeing that the little gray donkey was not willing to eat, she said to Xiaocao: "Is this little donkey feeling uncomfortable? Why doesn't he want to eat?"

Yu Xiaocao smiled and said, "My little gray is spoiled by me, it won't eat anything other people feed it. Little sister, give me the fodder, and I'll feed it!"

The little girl wanted to go to the kitchen to help light the fire, and upon hearing this, she handed the hay in the basket to Xiaocao, saying, "Then trouble the guests!"
