Sure enough, when Mrs. Lu heard this, she was very envious: "That's really great. You can do needlework, have been educated and can read. You come from a wealthy family and know the rules and etiquette. It's really a blessing for Qin Fang to marry you." Isn't it? Look at Qin Fang's family. They are beautiful, have a good figure, and speak softly. Even a woman likes them. Qin Fang must like them very much.
Yang Haiyan has the original owner's memories, but she has no impression of Qin Fang. The original owner and Qin Fang only met once after they got married, when the veil was lifted. At that time, the original owner saw that he was tall and was full of disgust and fear, and she didn't look at him more, so Yang Haiyan didn't have much impression of Qin Fang. In the novel, the original owner is the control group of the heroine, but the heroine is the main character, so there is not much ink on Qin Fang. Therefore, she doesn't have a general impression of Qin Fang, she only knows that he is very tall, about 195 cm.
Yang Haiyan: "Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law. I have only learned a little bit."
The two chatted for a while, and Mrs. Lu wanted to wash the dishes for Yang Haiyan, but Yang Haiyan refused. Since she had already woken up, there was no point in asking Mrs. Lu to serve her.
Seeing that she insisted, Mrs. Lu did not force her, but she also had a better impression of Yang Haiyan.
Not every household in this residential area has a well. The well is in a fixed place, so if you need water, you have to go to the well to fetch water.
However, Yang Haiyan looked at the kitchen and found nothing except two pots. She probably thought that the bowls and chopsticks were also from Lu's house. She wanted to cook something, but she couldn't. After thinking about it, Yang Haiyan went to Lu's house: "Lu..." She called at the door.
Mrs. Lu: "Hey..." She came out of the house, "Qin Fang's family, what's going on?"
Yang Haiyan blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, I... I don't have any money on me. Can you lend me some? I'll return it to you when my husband comes back. I want to buy some things."
Mrs. Lu patted her legs and said, "Oh, look at my memory. When Qin Fang left, he left me one or two taels of silver and told me to wait for you to wake up and give it to you. I forgot."
Yang Haiyan: "That's really a great help. Sister-in-law, you have to take care of things at home, and you also have to take care of me, so how can you take care of me?" She was telling the truth. In the novel, Captain Lu and Qin Fang had a good relationship, so Sister-in-law Lu took good care of the original owner at the beginning. Later, the original owner was too pretentious, and their relationship became strained.
Yang Haiyan took the silver and asked Lu Saozi where the vegetable market was. Lu Saozi was worried about her being alone, so she took her there. On the way, they met a few women chatting. Lu Saozi introduced Yang Haiyan and explained that Yang Haiyan had taken the wrong medicine before. Everyone knew that Qin Fang's family did not commit suicide by taking poison on the wedding night.
Yang Haiyan: "Dear sisters-in-law, I am so sorry. I came from Beijing and I don't know if there is any problem with the medicine I brought. It is my fault for making you worry about me. Tomorrow when Qin Fang comes back, my husband and I will host a meal and invite everyone to our house to warm up our family."
Seeing that she spoke in a sensible and reasonable manner, everyone stopped believing the previous rumors and said, "No, no, I'm glad you're okay." What kind of worry? That was not true. It was obvious that she was just watching the show. However, no one would admit it.
"Yes, it's good that the person is okay. The most important thing is to take good care of the illness."
"That's right. The capital is far away, so it's inevitable that the drug's efficacy will have problems."
Yang Haiyan: "Thank you, sisters-in-law. I just arrived and there are many things I don't understand. Please teach me."
Everyone saw that Yang Haiyan was polite and modest and had a good impression of her.
After chatting for a while, Yang Haiyan and Lu Saozi went to the vegetable market. Lu Saozi: "The vegetables in the vegetable market are the most abundant and freshest in the early morning, but some vegetable farmers do not sell all their vegetables in the early morning, so they will stay to sell... There are also two meat stalls here, which are fixed..."
When we got to the meat stall, the pork was gone. There were only a few meatless ribs and two pig's trotters on the ground.
Yang Haiyan: "Boss, how much are these spare ribs and pig's trotters?"
The butcher was a skinny little man. He must be strong to sell meat. The butcher said, "The ribs and pig's trotters are all packed at ten cents a pound, and there are only six pounds in total. Do you want them? If you separate them, the ribs are less than ten cents, but the pig's trotters have meat, so they must be more than that."
Mrs. Lu: "Isn't this six pounds too much?"
Yang Haiyan: "I want them all. Sister-in-law, I want to make some soup tomorrow and send it to my husband, so that he will know that I have woken up and he won't have to worry about me in the barracks."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she said, "That makes sense." Although six pounds was a bit much, it was for her man to eat, and Qin Fang and his wife had no children, so she could indulge herself for once.
Then, they went to the grocery store and bought sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, fine salt, coarse salt, white rice, brown rice, and flour. All these odds and ends added up to a total of 420 coins. Because there were so many things, the grocery store could deliver them to your door.
Then I bought a wooden bucket and basket for carrying water next door. Then I went to buy vegetables, including cabbage, radish, etc. Compared with the previous ones, vegetables are really cheap. Finally, I went to order three bundles of firewood. Firewood is ten cents a bundle, and a bundle weighs 100 kilograms. Generally, a family can earn three bundles a month, so the cost is not small. However, this firewood can also make money, and there are business opportunities everywhere.
In the end, I bought bowls, chopsticks, spoons, washbasins, bathtubs, clay pots and other things, which cost me one hundred coins.
When she got home, Yang Haiyan was really exhausted. The groceries and firewood had not been delivered to her door yet. She had spent exactly six hundred coins of one tael of silver today, and had four hundred coins left. She spent money like water.
When Yang Haiyan was tired, she started to process the ribs and pig's trotters. The ribs on the platform were 32 platform coins per pound, and the pig's trotters were 40 platform coins per pound. She put one pound of ribs and two pounds of pig's trotters on the platform, and there was still one pound of ribs and two pounds of pig's trotters left, which she prepared to eat herself.
It was just put up and the transaction was not that fast, so she checked the silver on the platform again. The silver was five platform coins per gram, and one tael of silver was equal to fifty grams, which was equal to two hundred and fifty platform coins.
The spare ribs and pig's trotters were not sold. The people from the grocery store came to deliver some things. After putting oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and some supplies into the kitchen, the empty kitchen felt full. When three bundles of firewood were delivered, the atmosphere of life in the kitchen became even stronger.
Yang Haiyan has not considered the question of staying for the time being. It is easy for her to live here, but it is very dangerous for a woman to survive in such a world. There is too little description of Qin Fang in the novel. She can only know whether to stay or go after she meets Qin Fang first.
Of course, if Qin Ka stayed in the military camp and never came back, Yang Haiyan felt that she could live here forever.
It was almost noon, and although she had just eaten rice porridge, she felt hungry again, so she planned to make pork rib porridge. But before making the porridge, she had to fetch a bucket of water first.
In ancient times, people used small wooden buckets to carry water. Small wooden buckets were heavy, so Yang Haiyan could only fetch half a bucket of water. After fetching half a bucket of water, she washed the ribs and put them in the iron pot, then used a match to light the fire to cook porridge. She cooked a lot and planned to cook it together with dinner. Fortunately, she was very experienced in using the stove and was even more familiar with cooking.
As the pork ribs porridge was cooking, Yang Haiyan looked at the platform and found that one pound of pork ribs and two pounds of pig's trotters had been sold, earning a total of 112 platform coins. One hundred and ten platform coins can buy 22 grams of silver, one tael of silver = 50 grams = 1,000 coins, which means 22 grams of silver = 440 coins, but the original cost was three pounds of pork ribs and pig's trotters, 30 coins.
With this calculation, Yang Haiyan planned to make money with pork ribs and pig's trotters, put the money she earned on the platform, and buy silver when she needed it.
Meat was the only thing she could think of that would not attract attention. Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan suddenly thought of something: pig intestines.
The pig intestines in the platform cost 40 platform coins per pound, and the pig intestines in this world were something no one wanted to eat, so they seemed very cheap. Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan decided to try buying some pig intestines tomorrow.
After the spare ribs had become fragrant, Yang Haiyan scooped out half of them to eat in the evening, and then cut a dozen slices of cabbage. After five minutes, she scooped out a bowl of spare ribs and cabbage, then put down the cooked rice and went next door.
"Mrs. Lu, are you there?"
Mrs. Lu: "Yes, I am."
Yang Haiyan: "I made some soup. Please try my cooking. Thank you for your care these days."
Mrs. Lu: "Why are you so polite? No need." But she still felt good in her heart. After all, being appreciated means that her efforts are worth it.
Yang Haiyan: "Don't be polite to me. I want to go to the military camp tomorrow at noon. I want to tell my husband that I have woken up so that he won't worry. So I need you to lead the way for me."
Mrs. Lu: "Okay, okay, I won't be polite." It's a give and take, at worst she can treat them next time, so Mrs. Lu readily accepted it.
"Mother..."
"Mom, we are back..."
Mrs. Lu had just finished collecting the vegetables when she heard the sound of her two sons coming back. Mrs. Lu had two sons, twins, who were seven years old this year. They were studying in a private school in the town and came home for lunch.
Yang Haiyan had just walked into the yard, so she heard the voice of the child next door. It was not because the sound insulation was poor, but because she was outside and the child was shouting at the door, so she could naturally hear it.
The pork ribs porridge was not ready yet, and Yang Haiyan began to study the platform again, looking for things in this world, what can be brought to the platform to make money, and asked her to bring modern craftsmanship to ancient times to exchange for money, she would not do it, the risk is too great, and this risk is not something she and Qin Fang can bear. Don't think that it's so easy for women and men to travel through time in novels, that's just a novel, she is not the heroine, and she doesn't have the aura of a heroine, so she is seeking stability.
