Hongxiu tugged tenderly, standing in front of a rouge booth, looking at this for a while, smelling that for a while, and finally holding a box of peach blossom powder in his hand, unwilling to let go of it for a long time.
"Hey, this girl really has good eyesight. This is the best peach pollen. It is fragrant and smooth. If you put it on, girl, she must be as beautiful as a fairy!" The peddler knows how to do business, and when he saw that Hongxiu was interested in this box of incense powder, he hurried over to praise Hongxiu's appearance.
"How much is this box?" Hong Xiu blushed and asked in a low voice. No one had ever praised her so much in person.
"Not much, not much, one tael of silver for a box, and a box of peony rouge for you." The peddler looked at the red-sleeved dress, he didn't look like a woman from an ordinary family, and seeing Wen Rou following him, he mistakenly mistook Wen Wen for accompanying the young lady when she came out. The maid who was wandering around simply opened her mouth.
"It's so expensive! It's more than the price of a jar of wine!" Wen Ruo heard about it, and immediately thought of her morning dew wine.
"Hehe, of course good things are expensive, and besides, don't you also get a box of rouge? Both are good things, and you only charge one price. Girl, don't miss it!" winked.
"Okay, wrap it up for me." Although Hongxiu also felt that the price of incense powder and rouge was more expensive, if it was in Xianyang, one tael of silver would be enough to buy four boxes of incense powder, but then she thought again, this is the provincial capital , the price is much more expensive than Xianyang, let alone the texture, it is really the best peach pollen and peony rouge! He gritted his teeth and bought them all.
"Girl, take it well. Use it well and come back next time!" The peddler took the money and smiled happily. It was swiftly wrapped in two delicate embroidered cloth bags, and sent to Hongxiu's hand.
"Sister Hongxiu, this is too expensive, why didn't you buy it without haggling!" Rourou looked at such a small box of things, although she didn't spend her own money. But thinking about it left and right, I still feel distressed.
"Bagging?" Hongxiu was stunned.
"Of course, the merchants always offer a higher price first, because customers are always good at bargaining, so after going back and forth in this way, the price will be negotiated properly." Rourou looked at the two small boxes and murmured.
"Sister Rou'er, how embarrassing that is... besides, I haven't cut it..." Hongxiu's voice was very low, although the peony rouge was not used on the face, it was already as red as a blooming peony.
"Hey, put it on me, if sister Hongxiu sees something good in the future, I'll help you bargain!" Rourou patted her chest lightly, as if she was determined to get it.
"Sister Rou'er, this is for you!" Hearing that from now on someone will help him bargain. Hongxiu swiftly gave the peony rouge in her hand to Wenrou.
"Sister Hongxiu, this... I don't need it, thank you for your kindness." Rourou waved her hands again and again.
"Take it. Who made you agree to help me bargain? Besides, when it will be useful in the future, there is no girl who doesn't use makeup." Hongxiu smiled.
"Haha, sister Hongxiu should save the paint for Master Zizhang!" Gentle and smiling, she pushed the box of rouge back again.
"You... let you talk nonsense again, see if I won't hit you!" Hongxiu blushed, laughed and chased Wenrou away.
I always thought that no one would pay attention to the feelings of a pair of young daughters. But this scene, Qiao Zizhang saw it, Ren Yue saw it, Sheng Yaoshan saw it, and of course, Sheng Jiaoxue saw it too...
Originally, when discussing the price just now, Qiao Zizhang had already seen the stalemate on Hongxiu's face at that moment, and he wanted to go straight up, take out the silver from his arms, put it directly in the vendor's hand, and then say to Hongxiu in a very gracious manner: : "I'll give you this."
Unexpectedly, when he was about to move his feet, Ren Yue grabbed his sleeve.
Qiao Zizhang turned around and looked at Ren Yue in puzzlement.
Ren Yue didn't speak, just smiled lightly and shook his head slightly.
The feelings of the little daughter's family need to be kept private, unless you can handle it well, it can be just right, otherwise, just go straight forward, it will be self-defeating.
Although Ren Yue was idle and wild, his ability to know people and people was beyond ordinary people. As for Qiao Zizhang and Hongxiu, he, a discerning person, knew it at a glance, and out of good intentions, he secretly helped.
Sheng Yaoshan crossed his arms and looked at the two girls with a smirk on his face. On the one hand, he laughed to himself that the red sleeves were tangled up because of the mere one tael of silver. Always find it interesting.
Sheng Jiaoxue was sitting in the carriage, and through the slightly raised curtains, she first heard the sound of the red sleeves pulling the gentle selection, and then saw the scene of paying, she couldn't help but glance at the corner of her mouth, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, "Hmph , bumpkin."
"That's right, it's just a box of poor face powder, just a tael of silver, even the face powder used by the laundry lady in the Prime Minister's house, it's also several times more expensive than the box in her hand!" Linglong took the opportunity to flirt viciously. sentence.
After Ruan Wen and Hong Xiu left the incense powder stall, Sheng Yaoshan strode forward, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and placed it handsomely in front of the peddler, "I'll cover all of these."
The shiny snowflake silver is so attractively placed in front of the peddler, the peddler's eyes are straightened, and he regrets in his heart! It really is a big family, the one tael of silver I just asked for is a little less!
Immediately afterwards, he was full of smiles and smiled flatteringly at Sheng Yaoshan, quickly wrapped up all the makeup on the stall, and graciously sent it to Sheng Yaoshan. "Master, take it!"
Seeing this, Qiao Zizhang thought that Sheng Yaoshan was going to steal his credit, and he didn't have the ten taels and one ingot of silver. If Ren Yue hadn't stopped him just now, he would have rushed over and slapped the silver in front of the peddler.
However, what did General Sheng buy so much makeup for? Could it be that he is also against Hongxiu...
Qiao Zizhang was troubled for a while, a general...
"General Sheng, this is..." Qiao Zizhang couldn't hold back seeing Hongxiu and Wenrou walking away.
"Oh, Brother Zizhang, you came at a good time. I will leave this package to you to deal with. Isn't Master Qiao going to open a branch of Zuixianlou? He must hire manpower, and the girl and woman must also need a large number of people. , since we are here for the craftsmanship of Zuixianlou, it is natural to come to join us, and these should be regarded as small gadgets for rewards for hired workers. It will save you time and money to buy." Sheng Yaoshan was straightforward and straightforward She gave Qiao Zizhang that packet of makeup powder.
Immediately, Lang Xiao left with his hands behind his back.
"This..." Qiao Zizhang was holding the package of makeup powder, he didn't know what to do with it for a while, he really treated the general's belly with the heart of a villain.
"It smells so good!" Just as Hongxiu pulled Rourou and continued walking. Suddenly Ruan stopped in her tracks, wriggled her nose, and searched left and right with her eyes.
"Fragrant?" Hongxiu also stopped in her tracks, but it wasn't because she also smelled the fragrance, but because she saw a gentle move, and then smelled a bad smell.
"It's a bean curd pot!" Gentle pulled up her red sleeves, and happily went straight to the direction where the stench came from.
Cai Mi has been following the team, always maintaining his duty as a handyman.
Let’s talk about this bean curd. It is a kind of stinky tofu. Every winter, use high-quality tofu, cut it into suitable size tofu pieces, put it aside for a period of time, wrap it with salt, sesame powder, and red pepper noodles, put it in the altar for half a month, and then eat it after fermentation.
When eating, you can take a few small pieces and pour it with a small amount of ground sesame oil. The smell is fragrant. The stronger the aroma, the more spicy it is, and it melts in the mouth.
now. What the gentle nose smells is this bean curd made with chili and sesame oil.
Seeing Wen Rou running away with the red sleeves in hand, Cai Mi's face was slightly strange. Suddenly, he clutched his lower abdomen tightly, with a pained expression on his face, and a soft "Ouch" hum from his mouth.
"Cai Bo, what's wrong with you?" Wen Ting asked with concern upon seeing this.
"My stomach hurts, oops, I can't do it, I can't do it, I have to make it easier, you guys go first, I'll catch up later." After Cai Mi said, still clutching her belly, she headed toward an alley without thinking drilled in.
"Hey, Uncle Cai!" When Wen Ting was about to say something, Cai Mi had already disappeared.
"Father, why don't you wait for Uncle Cai here, he is an old man, if he comes back later, we will get lost if we don't find him." Wen Ting said kindly.
"This..." Wen Shouzheng intended to wait for Cai Mi, but when he was away from home, he had to listen to his host and distinguished guests.
"The old man is a bit tired, why don't we go to the tea house to have a rest first." Mr. Songtao heard clearly from the side, and didn't say anything, but asked to stop and rest with some understanding.
A group of people walked towards a clean tea house on the street.
Rourou pulled on her red sleeves, walked around an alley, and came straight to a stall surrounded by heat and crowds.
Right in the midst of that commotion, the stinky smell became even stronger.
"Sister Hongxiu, there are many people in front, wait for me here for a while, I will treat you to something delicious!" Gentle looked at the crowd, swallowed, and explained carefully that Hongxiu stood still, this time He let go of his hand and squeezed into the crowd.
Tofu 鬻, inside is tofu 鬻!
Green fermented tofu, wrapped in bright red chili noodles, cut into small pieces that are easy to eat, and then poured and tossed with bright sesame oil! Wrapped in ordinary oiled paper, it is a finished product that can be imported as simple as that.
Not long after, Rou Rou squeezed out from the crowd again, holding two servings of prepared tofu in his hand.
"Sister Hongxiu, try it quickly, it's delicious." Greeted softly.
"Sister Rou'er, what is this? It stinks!" Hong Xiu covered her nose and looked sideways, without any intention of taking it.
"This is tofu stew. It smells stinky, but it tastes delicious!" Wen Rou said, swallowing again involuntarily.
"Hey, it stinks, can this be eaten?" Hong Xiu cautiously glanced at the cyan thing in Wen Rou's hand, and said with some distaste.
"It's delicious. If you don't believe me, I'll show you how to eat it." Gentle said, and put another portion of tofu porridge directly into Hong Xiu's hand, while she held the oiled paper bag in one hand, and dexterously inserted it with the other hand. On the bamboo stick above, I picked up a small piece of tofu, put it in my mouth, and chewed it intoxicated.
Seeing Hongxiu's back getting cold, is this food really edible? This is not smelly!
Seeing that Hong Xiu still looked puzzled, Rou Wen was about to persuade again, but at this time a big hand directly took the portion of tofu from Hong Xiu's hand.
