Seeing Uncle Lu crossing the river with one stroke, Fubao instantly made up his mind. No matter whether the things about nature and nurture were true or not, at least Uncle Lu, the master, was a real martial arts master.
"Haha, this girl, even if I don't have the appearance of an emperor, at least I have the appearance of a hero!"
At this moment, Fu Bao was extremely happy.
Unfortunately, Uncle Lu still failed to catch the man opposite.
When Uncle Lu was halfway across the river with a pole, the people on the other side had already turned around and fled.
"Flee in the face of the wind, the master is mighty and domineering!"
Mr. Xu watched the figure fleeing across from him, and couldn't help but utter compliments from the bottom of his heart.
Fu Bao felt unbearable when he heard his father's words.
She finally saw that her father had become Uncle Lu's little fanboy.
Uncle Lu crossed the river with a pole and reached the other side. Although the other party had already escaped, he still pursued him.
Not long after Uncle Lu chased people, the dragon boat race also came to an end.
Lingshui Village won the championship with an absolute advantage and successfully obtained a 50% tax reduction for the elderly. In comparison, the one hundred taels of silver reward was somewhat insignificant.
After all, Mr. Zhao Er, the wealthy prince, just made a fortune in a very arrogant way.
With the sound of gongs and drums, the annual dragon boat race came to an end.
But the market on the Jiuqu River Embankment will not disperse so quickly, and the families of the girls who are eyeing their future husbands will also start to take action now.
As the champion, Lingshui Village naturally received the most attention.
After a lot of effort, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu managed to fight their way out of the crowd and ran straight to the river embankment.
As early as the moment they won, they saw their little sister sitting on their father's neck and waving at them vigorously.
"Little sister, is big brother awesome?"
Boss Xu came closer and proudly raised his head at Fu Bao.
"Brother, awesome!"
"Two, awesome!"
Fubao will naturally not be stingy with words of praise.
"Little sister, I am the second brother, the second brother, the second brother!"
Xu Laoer looked at Fu Bao sadly, feeling that he had to work harder and harder. He had to correct his little sister. He was the second brother, not the second brother!
"Two, brother!"
Fu Bao deliberately didn't shout right.
Pointing her little finger at her second brother, she first called out "two" and then "brother". Before her second brother could laugh, she quickly moved her finger and pointed at Boss Xu.
"Little sister, I am the second brother, the second brother!"
Seeing his second brother's miserable expression, Fu Bao smiled and called out: "Second brother."
"Yes, yes, second brother, second brother!"
"Haha, my little sister is so smart!"
"Want some candy? Second brother will buy you some candy!"
Finally hearing the title "Second Brother" from his little sister's mouth, Xu Laoer jumped up excitedly. People who didn't know saw this scene and thought he had encountered some earth-shattering happy event.
But in fact, it's just a title.
"sugar!"
Fubao pointed at the market on the embankment with his little hand.
Yes, she just wants candy.
The sugar here is not the white sugar or rock sugar of later generations, but red sugar, which is what people in later generations call brown sugar.
The Tang Dynasty was very powerful and wealthy, but there were relatively few types of sugar.
At least as Fu Bao has grown up, he has only seen red sugar candies, and has never seen any other kind of candy, not even caramel sugar.
Caramel, also known as maltose.
As far as Fubao knows, caramel has been around since the Western Zhou Dynasty.
There is a poem like this in "The Book of Songs Daya Zang" "Zhou Yuan, the viola is as sweet as candy", which means that the land in Zhou is fertile, and even the viola and chicory are as sweet as candy. If there was no caramel at that time, there would be no such description.
However, Fu Bao has never seen maltang here.
It is also because of this that Fubao is really full of curiosity about the history of this time and space.
What kind of development process has the civilization here experienced
Unfortunately, it's impossible for Fubao to get answers from anyone now. She could only wait, wait until she grew up, and wait until she could study, to find the answer.
"Okay, let's go eat some candy!"
Xu Laoer took Fu Bao from his father's hand, hugged her and walked towards the market.
Because she knew there would be a market at the dragon boat race today, Mrs. Xu gave her sons silver yesterday, and it was from the eldest son, each of them ten taels of silver.
What is this money used for
Without Mrs. Xu's motherly advice, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu also understood that they were asked to buy something for their daughter-in-law.
In fact, even though the old Xu family has not been divided, all the money earned is handed over to Mrs. Xu, but whether it is the eldest Xu or the second eldest Xu, there is actually no shortage of money.
As long as it was a legitimate request, Mrs. Xu would never stop them asking for money from her.
This is also the reason why the two daughters-in-law, Zhou and Li, have no dissatisfaction with Mrs. Xu as the head of the family.
After all, even though they don't have much money, when it's time to spend money, all they have to do is talk to their mother-in-law.
As for the things they need to bring back to their parents' home during holidays and weekdays, Mrs. Xu will arrange them properly, so they don't have to worry about returning to their parents' home empty-handed one day.
During the holidays, Mrs. Xu would also give them pocket money.
As for their own dowry, Mrs. Xu, the mother-in-law, had never thought about it.
With a mother-in-law like this on the stall, what else is there to be dissatisfied about
Fu Bao let her second brother hold her and entered the market. She was dazzled by the variety of things around her.
Those little dolls, carved from wood, carved from stone, made from clay, all kinds of small animals, and those colorful windmills...
These handmade products and the craftsmanship are truly amazing.
Compared with the small dolls that Fu Bao collected when he was traveling, the craftsmanship level is many times higher.
This is the real handicraft!
Want it!
Fu Bao's eyes widened, he raised his hand and pointed at those little things, and screamed.
Anyway, things are not worth much, so you have to buy, buy, buy!
When Xu Laoer saw Fubao like this, he was completely unambiguous. He waved his hand and bought it.
How many to buy
Are you kidding me
Bought them all!
There are a bunch of little dolls at home, not to mention Dabao and Erbao. In a few days, the three, four and five treasures, the big girl and the second girl, will also be able to play with them. How can we do it without these toys
The arrogant Xu Laoer instantly became the second fool in the eyes of this street vendor.
If you are stupid and have too much money, you should cheat quickly!
It's a pity that Xu Laoer is destined to disappoint these people.
He bought these things because Fubao wanted them. As for Fu Bao, who has no interest in it, why would he spend money randomly
Rouge, gouache, jewelry fabrics, all the things he wanted to buy for his wife Li, Xu Laoer finally relied on Fubao's guidance to buy them. (End of chapter)
