Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 120 Research
Could it be that Aunt Li is still a foodie?

Yin Tao asked Li Gu again: "Why don't you want to marry?"

Li Gu said: "These gentlemen in Beijing are very gentle and fluffy, I don't like it."

"Just for this? You just comb your hair and not get married?" Yin Tao didn't understand, she sat upright and prepared to persuade Li Gu.

"Wen has the beauty of writing, and martial arts has the advantages of fighting. You must be good at discovering the advantages of others..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Li coldly interrupted her long speech: "If Ye Xiuwen has no power to restrain the chicken, and only knows how to talk about Ziyue, would you still like it?"

Yin Tao shut up instantly!
Li Gu stood up and went out with her head held high!

Not far away, I met Hu's mother who came in a hurry, and hurriedly asked: "I heard the little girl said that Miss Yin was crying very sad?"

Li Gu pursed her lips, nodded, and said, "It's ready!"

Mother Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again, "You persuaded me?"

"No, she persuaded herself." Then she left.

This year, simple and lively.

Mrs. Zhong had a reunion dinner with Yin Tao, Mama Hu, and Li Gu, and watched Yin Tao go to light firecrackers.

Everyone watched the new year together, Yin Tao talked about anecdotes, and Mrs. Zhong couldn't help but recall the past: her husband, children, and the difficult days in the palace when she was young.

Yin Tao listened with gusto. It was a woman's ups and downs in her life, but she also lost too much!
Even Hu's mother and Li Gu talked about their past.

Everyone has good expectations and wishes for the new year!
In short, this year, after all, has a taste of the year!

On the first day of the new year, people from the palace respectfully invited Mrs. Zhong back to the palace.

But Yin Tao is greedy for Dilong and the backyard racecourse, so she has the cheek to stay with Li Gu.

Her food was still good, which she was grateful for.

But he spent more time in the backyard, and even started to learn how to whip.

Li Gu didn't understand why she was so persistent.

Yin Tao explained her doubts: "If Ye Xiuwen dares not come back after five years, I will arrest him. First of all, you must know how to ride a horse. If you encounter a thief, at least you can't catch him without a fight."

Li Gu's lips were tightened again, and after a while she said: "What's the use of embroidering legs? Are your arrows accurate?"

Yin Tao was anxious: "Give me five years, can't I make progress?"

Li Gu was surprised and said, "You really know how to find him?"

"Otherwise? There is a saying that people always have a goal. What if it succeeds?"

Li Gu was once again moved by her nonsense, thought carefully for two days, and set a goal: "I will teach you to be a master within five years."

Yin Tao refused, feeling like shooting herself in the foot.

"Actually, it's enough to strengthen your body and move quickly!"

And Li Gu is a stubborn person, of course, she will gradually discover that some people are not born to practice martial arts!

After the fifteenth day, Yin Tao and Li Gu were ready to go back.

Pushing open the long-closed courtyard door, Yin Tao felt as if she had been separated from another world.

Yin Tao let Li Gu live in her own house, but she moved to Ye Xiuwen's house.

She started cleaning the house, not wanting to stop herself.

Li Gu moved very neatly, and the two quickly tidied up the wing room, kitchen, yard and other places.

Yin Tao asked Li Gu to rest, went to the main house to clean up by herself, burned incense on the old man's tablet, and asked them to bless Ye Xiuwen for safety.

There was a knock on the courtyard door, Yin Tao went to open the door, and saw that it was the child from the neighbor next door.

The child first looked into the courtyard curiously, and then said: "Sister, when you were not at home, a sister named Liu Er came to you and asked me to bring you a message, saying that she had gone home. And let you go to her house to play."

"Oh, thank you, did she say where she lives?"

The child blinked: "I forgot! My sister-in-law remembers, I asked her to tell you!"

After finishing speaking, he flew back and ran.

Yin Tao hurried back and picked up two boxes of pastries to follow.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the child's house, I happened to meet the child pulling the sister-in-law out.

It was a little awkward for the two to meet.

The elder sister-in-law is in her 20s, a shy woman with a pretty face.

Yin Tao smiled at her: "Happy New Year, sister-in-law. My surname is Yin. If I may bother you, I heard that you know the address of the girl who came to my house last time, so I came here to ask."

"If I remember correctly, it should be Xiaoxingshan Village, more than 30 miles outside the Dongcheng Gate."

Yin Tao wrote it down in her mind, then smiled and handed over the pastry in her hand: "Thank you, this is a snack for children to eat and play, sister-in-law, don't dislike it!"

The woman blushed a little and took it: "My surname is Lu, and my husband's surname is Tan. You can call me Mrs. Tan!"

A child pointed to the side and said: "This is my uncle Tan Shu. He is a little naughty, please don't laugh at Miss Yin!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yin Tao went back, and after a while, Tan Shu came over with half a basket of bean sprouts.

"This is from my sister-in-law, give it a try!"

After the child left, Yin Tao felt a little emotional, she seemed to have gradually integrated into this place, and began to have human relations!
In the afternoon, Yin Tao and Li Gu drove the carriage to see Feng Wansu's dowry shop.

After walking around, I got a general understanding in my heart.

The only Rouge shop in the lively neighborhood has a good business, but the shop is very small, and there is only one shopkeeper and a small servant working in it.

Yin Tao entered the store pretending to be a customer, and found out that she bought a small box with a lot of lip balm.

Yin Tao also bought a box, which was not cheap, a small box cost half a tael of silver.

Yin Tao chose some rouge and gouache to take away.

After getting into the carriage, he took out his notebook and recorded all the discoveries he made after entering the store.

For five consecutive days, Yin Tao went to several shops every day.

There are more and more things to record.

Li Gu asked: "Why do you come here every day, either hiding in the carriage or watching at the nearby teahouse?"

Yin Tao said: "I have to make preparations in advance, so as not to fight unprepared battles. You see, this restaurant is located in a food street, and there are many pedestrians; the opposite door is a big restaurant, and the business is very good."

"But this one, there's no business in the store, and the shopkeeper is not in a hurry, and he's taking his time to settle accounts. The waiter isn't shouting for business but just chatting. How can this business be good? Let's go, let's go and try the dishes?"

Before entering the door, he complained to Li Gu in a low voice: "I don't know what accounts this shopkeeper has to settle?"

Seeing them coming to the door, Xiaoer was stunned for a while, and then warmly greeted Yin Tao and the other after being called out by the shopkeeper.

Yin Tao ordered a few signature dishes from the store, and they were served very quickly, after all, there was only one table of customers!
The taste is actually good, but there are few dishes in the store and there are not many choices. Regular customers will get tired of eating it a few times.

No features, can not attract the novelty psychology of new customers.

The tables and chairs in the corner were all dusty, Xiaoer would rather chat than wipe, the whole shop looked a little bleak!
After paying the bill, Li Gu said, "I want to eat at the opposite door."

Yin Tao smiled, the business of the restaurant opposite was booming, and the fragrance wafted out from time to time, which was indeed very attractive.

There are two waiters at the door who greet passers-by to come in and eat. They are very talkative, saying that the signature dishes in the shop are the only one in the world.

After Yin Tao went back, she sorted out the things recorded in the past few days.

Several other businesses are still going well, and customers come in from time to time.

In short, the five stores cover basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. They look good, but they are just looks!

I plan to go to Zhuangzi tomorrow to have a look, and when I come back, I will go to Feng's house.

One is to talk to Feng Wansu about the situation of several shops and future plans, and the other is that Feng Wansu is getting married!
