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

Chapter 87 Dinner
In the afternoon, Yin Tao and Ye Xiuwen went out together to go around the neighborhood. She was going to stay here for a while, and she also needed to buy some daily necessities.

When she came to Kyoto, she had never come out to hang out so comfortably.

But her injuries didn't heal, so she just walked around a street or two nearby.

"The people who live here are ordinary families, and the rich and powerful live in other places. But this is not a slum. Most of the residents here have jobs, and they can live without worries!"

Ye Xiuwen introduced the situation to her, and Yin Tao also found that although these people were dressed simply, they were neat and clean, and there was not too much worry on their faces!
"Everyone says that Xiao Fu is safe, so that's not bad!" Yin Tao laughed.

There are various shops on both sides of the street, people come and go and business is good.

Some merchants with heavy burdens walked and sold, and there were many stalls selling all kinds of things on the side of the road.

"Do you know where the residents here buy groceries?"

Yin Tao suddenly remembered this important event. After all, she didn't want to eat in a restaurant every day, and that little money was not enough to squander!

"I'm not sure about this, find someone to ask!"

The two found a roadside tea stall and asked for two cups of tea; the tea was so bitter that they didn't drink much.

Yin Tao asked the proprietress: "Auntie, I would like to ask, is there a place to buy vegetables and fruits nearby?"

The aunt looked at Yin Tao and Ye Xiuwen, smiled and said, "The little girl moved here, right? I want to buy vegetables, but it's not available this afternoon. On the street behind, in the morning, the farmers outside the city will meet. Come in and sell vegetables, chicken, duck and fish!"

"Thank you, Auntie, so I can't buy food if I miss the morning?"

"Anyway, it's almost gone by noon. They have to go out of the city and go back!"

"It's also hard for the vegetable sellers. They have to get up early in the morning, and they have to be interrogated at the gate of the city for a long time."

Yin Tao took it seriously: "It's not easy!"

Resonating with Yin Tao, the proprietress was very happy.

"Don't worry if the big family has Zhuangzi outside, we ordinary people can only get up early to buy vegetables!"

The auntie lamented that her business is not good, she earns less, and she has to pay the booth fee. After complaining, she smiled and said, "However, we charge less than the store. Anyway, let's eat a meal!"

Auntie laughed loudly, showing that she was an open-minded and cheerful person.

Yin Tao smiled and complimented a few words, but the more she chatted with the aunt, the more speculative she became. She also knew that she lived in the back and her surname was Qiu, so Yin Tao changed her name to call her Aunt Qiu.

Ye Xiuwen was left to the side, he didn't rush him, he just sat quietly listening to Yin Tao's nonsense!
In the end, the two returned home after eating pasta, and bought some daily necessities such as pots and bowls of oil and salt.

The next day, when Yin Tao got up, Ye Xiuwen had already left.

After grooming, Yin Tao found a basket from the kitchen and went out to check out the grocery shopping.

As soon as I walked to Caishikou, I heard the sound of selling one after another.

On both sides, there are people buying vegetables one after another. Those with less vegetables will put them in the burden, and those with more vegetables will spread rotten grass mats on the ground, and put vegetables, fruits and vegetables on the top.

There are also various stalls selling chicken, duck and fish.

The crowd is crowded, and the vendors are screaming loudly again, one after another, and the noise is so lively!
People who buy vegetables are carrying baskets or carrying baskets on their backs, picking and choosing along the crowd, looking around!
Several yamen servants beat gongs and followed the stalls to collect money one by one.

Depending on the size of the booth, each booth can charge five to ten cents, and those who carry the burden to sell vegetables are all paid one cent.

Suddenly, someone patted Yin Tao on the shoulder, Yin Tao turned around in surprise, and found that it was the proprietress of the tea stall, who was busy putting on a bright smile: "Aunt Qiu Zao!"

Aunt Qiu also liked Yin Tao's grinning appearance. She looked at her basket with a piece of meat and two handfuls of vegetables, and said, "What else do you want to buy? I've finished shopping, and I'm going out. It's too crowded and noisy. My ears hurt!"

Yin Tao said, "I still want to buy a chicken. Should Aunt Qiu go first? It's really noisy here!"

"Don't be in a hurry, I know whose chicken is good, let's go, I'll take you there!"

When the two of them bought the chicken and squeezed out of the market, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't look at the crowd now, it will soon be scattered, and the remaining ones that are not sold out are all crooked melons and jujubes, and then only people with little money will want them!"

Yin Tao's heart was amused. It seemed that even if they all lived in the same place, they were divided into three, six, nine, and so on. Aunt Qiu said yesterday that her family was just a stammer, but in a blink of an eye, she couldn't look down on someone poorer than her. people.

In the afternoon, Yin Tao cooked a big meal at home and waited for Ye Xiuwen to come back.

Ye Xiuwen said yesterday that she was afraid that she would live here alone and would come back at night.

It was getting dark, and Ye Xiuwen came back.

When he entered the room, he saw Yin Tao smiling and telling him to wait for a while before eating immediately.

Ye Xiuwen stood at the door, watching Yin Tao bring the dishes from the kitchen and put them on the table. The food on the table was steaming and a little smoky.

How long has it been since no one waited for him to eat?
Ye Xiuwen's nose was a little sour, and he said, "I'll come here when I go to wash my hands!"

After saying that, he turned around and went to wash his face.

Yin Tao was startled, and the hand that was scooping the soup stopped. She didn't miss Ye Xiuwen's reddish eye circles.

After Ye Xiuwen returned, his expression had returned to normal.

Yin Tao pointed to the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "I made all these things, try my craftsmanship; today's meal is my thanks to you for saving your life and giving me this place to live!"

Ye Xiuwen shook his head, and before he could speak, Yin Tao stopped him.

"I know you want to say that I also saved you. In fact, I did very little at the time, and I even planned to leave before you woke up; in fact, you don't owe me, but I owe you more. ."

Yin Tao poured a glass of plum wine and handed it to Ye Xiuwen, filled a glass herself, raised the glass and said, "Ye Xiuwen, I won't say much about thank you, I have nothing now, but I still have some home-cooked dishes! You will come back for dinner later in the evening. Well, make sure you can eat a hot meal!"

Ye Xiuwen ate with his head down, nodded, and hummed softly to agree.

The two had a fairly lively meal, Yin Tao kept talking, and Ye Xiuwen listened quietly.
