Portable Space: Traveling through Nongmen

Chapter 25 Chu Qingdai

"Oh... that might be the reason, after all, it's not too long since I bought it." The proprietress nodded suddenly, and then showed a sincere smile, "Since the flower is found, it's fine." It's a matter of Madam's mind."

"Indeed, I really want to thank the lady boss. If you weren't the lady boss, I wouldn't have been able to find it." Shen Yingshu picked up the flowerpot with the chili peppers in it, her eyes filled with joy, "Actually, this thing... is also considered It must not be a flower, it will bear fruit."

"Really?" The proprietress blinked curiously, "I really don't know, what is this fruit? Can it be eaten?"

"Of course I can eat it. I can make all kinds of delicious things with this thing. I'll make some next time and bring you some to try..." Shen Yingshu nodded subconsciously, and said a lot under the excitement.

"Thank you then. I'm really greedy after hearing what you said." After the proprietress finished speaking gratefully, she looked puzzled again, "...I don't know how Madam heard about this thing?"

This is not the first time the proprietress has been puzzled. Seeing that Shen Yingshu is wearing an ordinary farm lady, how could she have seen so many things that she has never heard of?

Before, I thought that she didn't know Shen Yingshu very well, but she was a bit out of temper, so she didn't ask much.But now seeing Shen Yingshu's energetic expression again, he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart.

"Uh... this..." Shen Yingshu's voice suddenly faltered.

Seeing the embarrassing strategy on Shen Yingshu's face, the proprietress understood in seconds, and said in an empathetic way, "If it's not convenient to tell, then pretend that I never asked..."

"It's okay!" Shen Yingshu shook her head and interrupted the last words of the proprietress, "There is nothing I can't ask, but in the years of severe drought before, a refugee from other places came to my door, I saw him Poor, I saved my rations and gave it to him. He was grateful to me, and he didn't have anything on him, so he gave me this broken book. I saw an introduction about this thing on it..."

The proprietress nodded thoughtfully. It was indeed difficult in those years. The poor villagers had problems with drinking water and food every day. It would be nice to be able to eat half full every meal. You have such a good heart, after all, at that time... life was really difficult."

"I don't look good..." Shen Yingshu shook her head with a broken smile. If she still had the same appearance before time travel, if someone praised her for her beauty, she could barely believe it.

But now, the original owner has not had enough to eat and is malnourished all year round. Her complexion is sallow, and her body is also dressed in rags. At first glance, she looks like an ordinary woman who cannot be more ordinary. How can she have any sense of beauty.

"I believe in my vision." The proprietress smiled lightly, and then she picked up the pot of chili peppers in front of her, "Since this has a magical effect on Madam, I will give it to you."

"This...not good. It's not that I don't have money, so how dare I take your things." Shen Yingshu shook her head.

As he spoke, he took out some copper coins from his pocket. Although he didn't know the price of this pot of peppers, these copper coins were enough.

"If I say no, I don't need it. It's all because I want to make friends with Madam." The proprietress stuffed the basin into Shen Yingshu's hand, "My surname is Chu, and my name is Qing Dai. If Madam doesn't mind, just call me Qing Dai from now on." .”

"Yanzhimomo peach blossoms are shallow, Qingdai is slightly new and willow leaves are new. The name of the proprietress is as fresh and beautiful as a human being. Shen Yingshu praised. "My name is Shen, and my name is Yingshu.Qingdai will call me Yingshu from now on. "

"What's so good about my name? I'm just an ordinary person." Chu Qingdai smiled with her lips, as if she was a little embarrassed. "I didn't expect Yingshu to be able to write poems."

"... I learned a little bit from my elder brother when I was young." Shen Yingshu replied without changing her face, which was not considered a lie.

The original owner did know some characters, and also learned a little poetry.

The elder brother of the original owner, Shen Qinglie, did go to school for several years when he was a child, but because he really didn't have the brains to go to school, and the family was really difficult in those few years, so he simply came down to help.

At that time, the original owner studied a little with his elder brother.

The original owner is very talented in learning, very smart, as long as he learns the words he has read and heard a few times, he will memorize them all in his heart.

Unfortunately in this day and age...

Many people have a serious patriarchy in their hearts, especially in these small villages, it is strictly forbidden for girls to go to school.

Only among some nobles, women are allowed to study, and there are also special women's colleges, but this is just a culture between the nobles, and the poor are not allowed to enter.

Even if a woman from an ordinary family is allowed to come in, she will have to bear a high cost. The entire family went bankrupt in the last one or two years, and the ordinary family can't afford it.

So even if the original owner had the heart, he didn't have the strength, and then there was such a thing as being pregnant out of marriage, let alone wanting to study, he wished to break the time into eight petals every day.

"So that's the case, no wonder I see that Yingshu has a smell of books." Chu Qingdai said.

"Where does the smell of books come from me? It's just a sour smell. Fortunately, you don't despise me." Shen Yingshu shook her head with a broken smile.

After chatting with Chu Qingdai for a while, Shen Yingshu felt that the time was almost up and she couldn't stay any longer, so she said reluctantly, "Qingdai, it's getting late now, I have to go first, there is still a little girl at home You are waiting for me, and I will continue to chat with you next time I come to the street."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Chu Qingdai nodded with a smile, and walked to send Shen Yingshu to the door, "Then I won't see you off, Yingshu remembers to come and chat with me when you have time, I'm bored here alone , only the flowers and plants can accompany me..."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely come when I'm free." Shen Yingshu agreed.

Not far from the place where the bullock cart was parked, a bullock cart had already parked there.

Seeing that many people were already sitting on the bullock cart, Shen Yingshu quickly quickened her pace and rushed towards the bullock cart.

While running, she couldn't help being annoyed. She originally wanted to buy chili and leave, but she didn't expect to forget the time while chatting, and almost forgot the time when she returned home.

"Driver! Do you want to go? We've been waiting here for so long. Don't worry about leaving. We're still in a hurry!"

"Yeah, I'm still waiting to go home."

"Isn't that right? I just finished shopping, and there are still a few children in my family waiting for me to go home and cook."

"Let's go now!"

Hearing the urging of the crowd on the bullock cart, the fifth uncle looked around, but he still didn't see Shen Yingshu, so he could only sigh helplessly.
