After finally sending those two shameless things away, Shen Ruolan heaved a sigh of relief, took out the food and finished it.
After the meal, she boiled a large pot of boiling water, put the grilled cabbage into the hot water, rolled it around and fished it out, then put it in a small tank and put it on top of the cabbage Sprinkle a little salt, and place them layer by layer until the ten cabbages are stacked.
Then fill the tank with cold water, the water is a few centimeters away from the edge of the tank, and finally wash a big stone she found in the yard and put it on top, and the work is completely done.
She moved the jar of pickled sauerkraut to the corner of the kitchen, and did not put it in the space, because there is no air in the space, it is almost a vacuum, and the sauerkraut will not ferment and cannot be turned into real sauerkraut in there, so I can only Putting it in the kitchen, the temperature in the kitchen is just right, and if there are no accidents, she will have sauerkraut in a month or so.
…
Two days later, it was the day to pick up the goods agreed with He Ji Buzhuang. This morning, Shen Ruolan got up early, carried a big basket on her back and went straight to Taohua Village.
It may be due to the persistence of exercising during this period of time, or it may be that the good nutrition she has eaten these days has kept up. When walking this distance today, she did not feel as tired as last time. Although she did feel tired, at least Still within the tolerable range.
When they arrived at the grain drying field in Taohua Village, two carts were already waiting there. Shen Ruolan walked to the carriage to the county seat, and before Shuan Zi, the driver, offered to pay the fare of five cents, she calmly got in the car.
There are several fewer passengers today than last time. It may be because of the cold weather that many people are unable to come out. The car is empty, only four or five people. I don’t know which village they are from. Several people don’t know each other. Talking, more and more deserted, making people feel cold.
As soon as Shen Ruolan sat down, she took out a torn quilt from the back basket, and wrapped herself tightly. She knew that she was not good enough, and the torn jacket on her body would not be able to resist the cold, so she purposely made her own torn bed. The quilt is brought, although the image of the quilt is not good, but at least it will not be cold.
The carriage set off quickly. Along the way, Shen Ruolan watched the people walking with her shoulders shrunk in the cold, with snotty noses, and felt that she was smarter. If she hadn't brought this quilt, she would have been so thin The torn jacket probably froze to death before reaching the county seat.
In this way, under the envious eyes of everyone, the carriage arrived at the county seat.
When he arrived at the place, Shuanzi jumped out of the car and repeated the eternal words: "Go and do what you should do. Remember, we will gather here in two hours. We won't wait until noon. If you come back late, you will be responsible for it." …”
Shen Ruolan folded up the quilt on her body, put it in the back basket, and followed everyone out of the car.
At the first stop, she went straight to Heji Cloth Village. She made an appointment with the proprietress of the Cloth Village ten days ago, and today she came here to pick up the clothes and quilts she made. Not to mention tattered and flimsy, she was already so thin that she was about to burst. If she was a little fatter, she would definitely not be able to wear this dress.
"Ah, the girl is here!"
As soon as she saw Shen Ruolan, the lady proprietress of He Ji Buzhuang greeted her enthusiastically. While she was saying hello, her hands were not idle. She bent down and took out a big package from under the counter, and put it on the counter.
"These things for the girl are ready, let's see if they fit."
Shen Ruolan put the pannier on the ground, and went forward to open the bag. In the bag, neatly folded her new bedding, new pillows, two new sets of underwear and trousers, a new set of cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and a pair of embroidered clothes. New cotton shoes with a few small flowers.
The quilt and cotton-padded clothes and trousers are thickly waffled, soft and comfortable to the touch, and you know it will be warm before you put them on. The underwear and trousers are also well-made, with fine stitching and moderate fat and thin. The shoes are returned I embroidered a few words, which I didn't talk about before, so it can be regarded as a special favor for her.
Shen Ruolan couldn't put it down and looked through the clothes one by one, and finally, with the suggestion of the proprietress, she went into the inner room and changed the clothes.
The underwear fits well, is soft, and is extremely comfortable to wear, not at all abrasive to the skin like the rough underwear she wore before.
The jacket and cotton trousers are also soft and warm, and they are purposely made a little bigger, so that no matter how tall or fat she is, she won't be afraid that she won't be able to fit them in.
The cotton shoes are also purposely made bigger to facilitate the insoles, and the soles are also thick, so that the soles of the feet will not be cold when worn in winter.
It can be said that everything is very suitable for her. This brand-new pink outfit also made her look more energetic, and the yellow and thin cheeks no longer looked so ugly, thick and big. The padded jacket and trousers also made her look less skinny.
In short, wearing this outfit, she is like a different person from the previous one who was dressed in rags and hunched her shoulders.
"Tsk tsk, it really is 'a person depends on clothes, a Buddha depends on gold clothes,' ah, I can't even recognize the girl wearing this dress." The proprietress said with a smile.
Shen Ruolan said gratefully: "It's because of your good craftsmanship and hard work, otherwise it wouldn't fit so well."
The proprietress did put a lot of thought into making this cotton-padded jacket and trousers. They are all made of the fabric inside the cloth. The color is not as flowery as the outside color, and if you don't look carefully, you can hardly see the fault.
The most flowery fabric was made by the proprietress into a quilt and sewn inside the quilt. You can't tell it at all. The underwear and trousers are also made of more heavily flowery fabric, but they are worn inside anyway, as long as they are soft As long as it is comfortable, it doesn't matter what the color is.
After being grateful, she temporarily stored the pannier and bedding and pillows in the cloth house, and went out alone.
Last time when she was eating at Four Seas Restaurant, she overheard the conversation of a few dandies next door, which made her think of a way to make money, and she is going to make a fortune on that way today.
Sishui Street is not far from Xinghua Street. Shen Ruolan has already walked through it twice. This time, she found Xinghua Street without much effort, and after searching for a while, she finally found her destination—Drunk Flower. Negative.
The best brothel in Nong'an County!
'Zuihuayin' is a grand and magnificent building with red walls and green tiles, and a spacious facade. Eight lanterns are hung under the eaves. Each lantern has a girl's name written on it. The lanterns are still burning in broad daylight. Brightly illuminating the three big characters of "Zuihuayin" on the lintel, there are people coming and going inside the door, and there are faint voices of teasing.
This kind of land of romance has always been full of flowers, flowers, willows and greenery, and Yingyingyanyan. When she walked to the door, she felt the fragrance wafting through her nostrils. There was a flower in front of her eyes, and a person stood in front of her.
"Little girl, have you gone to the wrong place?"
