Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 77

Maybe it was because he was embarrassed to use the money he got back, He Yanxin thought.

When I just passed by the street, I saw some tailor shops with beautiful clothes hanging, He Yanxin felt that it would look good on Song Yeqing.

So he asked directly, because he wanted to tell the other party that there was no need to be cautious, and that they should be so clearly divided.

I just don't know if the other party has understood his hint.

Song Yeqing here felt strange.

Rouge gouache, clothing jewelry.What do you buy those for?
She's not much into rouge and gouache, and there's cosmetics in the space.Besides, this is not the time to dress up.

clothing?This is in a hurry, of course I have to buy a darker color.Light colored clothes get dirty easily and are super difficult to wash.

As for jewellery, she didn't like wearing them in the first place.

"I don't want to buy anything."

Song Yeqing hesitated for a while, then continued:
"Let's save some money. There are more places where money is used in Zhaozhou."

She thought of the prices in Zhaozhou in her memory, and she had to say that they were quite high.

Leaving aside other things, I must buy a house to live in, and I must have start-up capital to start a business.

Although she has already planned to sell the jade pendant in the space, it is still possible to save the money.

He Yanxin sighed quietly, "Let's go, I'll go shopping with you first, and then find someone."

There is no one to help with the children, so it is really inconvenient to go anywhere.

"Okay." Song Yeqing took the money and put the bedside table back into space, and came out with a hand-carrying basket.

Then he stood up and waved to the child. "Da Bao Xiao Bao, come here."

A few people didn't drive the cart, let the mule also rest, locked the door and left.

"Master, how do you sell the eggs? I want them all."

Song Yeqing squatted down to look at an old farmer's eggs on the ground in baskets and straw.

The beard around the old farmer's mouth moved: "One piece of four coins, here are..." He counted, "42."

Chickens lay few eggs in winter, so in order to make them lay more eggs, a fire has to be specially heated for them.In addition, the price of goods in Datong County is also higher, so it is more expensive.

The towns I passed by before were basically two or three pennies.

The old farmer said cheerfully: "If you have all of them, I will give you the basket as well, so as not to let them go around."

The baskets were woven from bamboo, so they were worthless.

"All of them." Song Yeqing took out the purse, counted the money for him, and went to the other side with it.

He Yanxin was like a background board, hugging Song Chengsi, leading He Chengze, and followed behind her.

The lady here sells more kinds of vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, chives, white radish, soybean sprouts...

It seems that a fire room was set up at home.

The fire room is similar to a modern greenhouse, specializing in off-season vegetables.

Song Yeqing needed a few catties of each vegetable, so he emptied the stall.

I went directly to buy a linen bag, put the pressure-resistant ones at the bottom, and put the bean sprouts in the basket.

"Do you want to make banquet noodles at home?" the aunt who sold vegetables asked.

Song Yeqing: No, it's just that there are many kinds of vegetables here, and she just wants to buy some and stock up.

But she couldn't tell others that, so she just nodded: "Yes."

"Little lady, come and see my Bohe, it's great!"

"I have this too. It's more juicy than other people's. Come and see me."

The people next to her saw that she bought a lot, so they started to sell them one after another, and even took the vegetables in their hands to show her.

Song Yeqing went over.It turns out that Bohol is mint, but you can buy some scrambled eggs to eat.

So I bought some Bohol, dried broad beans and the like.

He Yanxin had put down the child long ago, carrying a sack on his back.

The two took their children and went to the butcher shop.

In the end, I bought a bunch of them. Obviously, Song Yeqing couldn't take them back by herself.

Prosperity means that there are people everywhere, so it is impossible to put the dishes back in the space, so He Yanxin had to send them back before going out.

The children couldn't be held, let them walk by themselves, and they went back to the small courtyard.

Before going out, Song Yeqing called He Yanxin to stop him.

"In addition to rice, you can buy another ten catties of flour. I will make steamed buns to eat on the road tonight."

The flour here is not as white and delicate as modern ones, and the steamed buns made are not eye-catching, which is quite suitable for dry food.

"You don't need to buy miscellaneous grains." She originally wanted to make miscellaneous grain omelets, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it.

To do this, you have to steam the miscellaneous grains first, then mash them into a paste, add eggs as seasonings, and finally make them into cakes and fry them in oil in a pan.

This oil is greasy and troublesome, it is better to make steamed buns and some meat sauce, it is delicious and convenient.

"Okay." He Yanxin left after confirming that there was no more text.

After coaxing the two children to take a nap, Song Yeqing went to work on her own.

There is no well in this small courtyard, only a large tank is placed outside the kitchen.Open the wooden lid, the inside is full.

She took out a basin to wash the meat, and planned to make meat sauce first.

Wash the fat and thin pork, cut it into small pieces and then chop it, put it in a bowl with a little starch, and marinate it in oil.

Onion, ginger and garlic are also chopped into pieces.

Heat the oil in a pan, put the minced meat and stir-fry the water, then remove it to the side of the pan, sauté the onion, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, then mix and stir-fry.

Put some water in the bean paste and soybean paste to make a sauce, add it to the pot, add a little sugar, salt, soy sauce, and five-spice powder.

Finally, simmer slowly on low heat to dry up the water, and then put it in a basin to cool.

For a while, the kitchen was filled with a strong aroma.But after it cools down, the aroma will be fully withdrawn into the meat sauce.

Song Yeqing tasted it, it was a bit salty, but it was just right to eat with steamed buns.

While washing the pot, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"Please open the door, I'm here to deliver the goods." A male voice called.

deliver goods?It must have been bought by He Yanxin.

"Who asked you to send it?" But she didn't open the door directly, and asked inside.

Unfamiliar boundaries, is the point of vigilance.

"It's a man surnamed He who bought grain at our rice shop." The man replied.

Only then did Song Yeqing open the door.

The man entered the door with a wheelbarrow. He looked young, only in his twenties.

After removing those pockets, he wiped the sweat from his brow and said with a smile:

"Thank you. Here is a stone of rice, ten catties of red beans, twenty catties of flour, and forty catties of soybeans. You can order some."

Song Yeqing went to pour a bowl of cool water for him, and went to see the amount.

The man put the bowl on the stone table after drinking the water, "Your husband has already given you the money, if there is no problem, then I will leave now."

Song Yeqing said that there was no problem and sent him out. "Okay, thank you, go slowly."

Turning around to face the pile of food, good guy, why did you buy so much?
But there is space, so there is no need to worry about whether it can be moved.

After scooping out a basin of flour, Song Yeqing took everything back into the space.

Go to the kitchen to get yeast water, then start to knead the dough, wake it up, exhaust it and knead it again, cut it into pieces, knead it into a ball and then proof it.

Finally, take out the steamer, put it on the fire and start steaming.

On the way, the two children woke up and ran to find her, and even helped add firewood there.It can be said to be very well-behaved.

　Although it is an empty text, I used the Ming Dynasty as a reference for many things. At that time, many common vegetables were available, and some were out of season.
