Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chapter 100 Three Meals a Day (please subscribe for monthly pass)

When the soldiers walked past slowly and turned into the West Street where they had just come out, Qingyan took a deep look back and took Daya and Lanhua back with each hand.

The small courtyard where they live now is on the side of East Street, not far from the crossroads, separated by two horizontal alleys.

The courtyard is not facing the street, but the third one in an alley. There are five small courtyards in that alley, and they happen to be in the middle one.

This location is very good, there are people in the front, back, left, and right. If something happens, you can hear it with a yell. As long as it is not the kind of person who is not particularly good at life, most of the neighbors will help out.

What Li Hao might have thought at the time was that Qingyan was only a woman and lived here for a period of time, and this kind of environment was more suitable.

The two families on the left and right are the kind of family with a complete family. After contacting several old ladies with them in the past two days, it can be seen that those families are relatively honest and kind. , very difficult to mess with.

This kind of neighbor is the best.

When the three of Qingyan came home, only Grandma Lanhua, Heidan and Chouchou were at home, and everyone else went to tidy up the newly bought yards.

Grandma Lanhua was supposed to go with her, but there is also a housekeeper here, so I can cook lunch for a while.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up. The three courtyards are always occupied by people, as long as they are cleaned up, they can move there in two days.

They don't have any salutes now, and the bedding and clothes were purchased after entering the city.

On the way, many things were worn out, such as baskets, which were already tattered after being used a lot, so they were thrown away.

In Hancheng, it is very convenient to buy small things like baskets.

Of course, if you want to save money, you can also weave it yourself, but unlike in the mountains, it is easy to get rattan. After all, it is in the city, and at most you can find some willow branches.

But that doesn't mean you can cut it casually. Many trees in the city have owners, so it's better to buy one for a few pennies.

The kind of special weaving for take-out, the craftsmanship is not comparable to that of their own make-shift, they specialize in this every day, not to mention the more delicate weaving, the rattan has also been specially treated, it lasts for a long time, and it is still very beautiful .

Some baskets were woven with many patterns, Qingyan couldn't hold back, and bought two baskets with the pattern of "Fu" and "Shou", and let Chouchou put them in the space, thinking of going back to show them to her parents.

Although the weaving techniques of later generations are also varied, they are purely handmade by the ancient working people and have different meanings.

Before that, she thought that one day she would go out alone with Chou Chou, and then buy more unique things, especially some antiques and embroidery.

It's just that she went out with a few old ladies before, and discovered at that time that this place may be due to the north, even though it is closer to the imperial city, there are not many types of cloth and embroidery.

There are only seven or eight kinds of fabrics in the cloth shop here, among which silk and satin are distinguished according to different patterns, or there are only three or four kinds.

Not to mention the embroideries of Xiuzhuang, they are not as dazzling as those shown on TV. The finished embroidery can't be said to be rough, but it can't be compared with exquisiteness.

She and her mother went to an embroidery fair before, and saw a lot of exquisite embroidery, especially the double-sided show. Although the price was very expensive, it was indeed exquisite and lifelike.

Qingyan thought, maybe it has something to do with the region, after all, Hancheng still belongs to the north, and the embroidery should come from the south.

If she hadn't been leaving in a few days and had no time to go to the south, she would have wanted to go and have a look, it would be a pity to think about it.

It would be great if I could go to the south to see it. I don’t know what the ancient Jiangnan looked like. The Jiangnan water town has been a famous and prosperous place since ancient times.

Of course, the current era is probably not going to be too good. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were full of wars and turmoil. The current Jiangnan should be an independent small country. Is it Yang Wu or Wu Yue?She doesn't remember very well.

Even if I go there, I may not be able to make the trip, thinking in my heart, Chou Chou really doesn't know how to choose a location, it would be great if he landed directly in the south of the Yangtze River.

Qingyan greeted Grandma Lanhua, then went to the backyard and entered her room.

Lan Hua and Daya consciously didn't follow her. Knowing that she wanted to read a letter, they helped grandma pick vegetables in the front yard.

It will be noon soon, and the people who went to clean up the yard should be back soon. They picked out the vegetables in advance and made the noodles, and they can cook directly when they come back.

Since entering Hancheng, he has changed from two meals a day to three meals a day.

At first, I was afraid of wasting food and money like this. After all, they have no income yet.

It turned out that it was not the case. Before two meals a day, one person had to eat five or six multigrain pancakes. After three meals, not only did the amount not increase, but it also decreased.

I ate thick porridge in the morning, and I was hungry until night, and I couldn't fall asleep without eating five or six.

Since I ate three meals, it was noon after eating in the morning, and I had just digested the breakfast in the morning, and I was full after eating two pancakes, and it was the same at night, so there was less.

In addition, it is summer now, so you only need to steam a pot at noon, and you can eat it directly without heating it at night, and you don’t need to cook it again. It doesn’t even use firewood, and it doesn’t take much effort. It’s even more suitable.

That's right, since they arrived in Hancheng, they have changed to eating dry food every day.

They ate thin food along the way, and their stomachs were already uncomfortable. Even when they were in the village before, at least during the summer harvest, they would eat dry food, not to say that they ate thin food every day, but the Add some wild vegetables or something.

After arriving here, Qingyan didn't mean to say that she didn't want to go to the restaurant, taste the specialties here, and improve the food by the way.

It's just that when they were wandering around the East City, they also passed by those restaurants, and Qingyan found that the smell wafting out of them was not attractive, at most there was a meaty smell of stewed meat.

I don’t know if it’s because there is no vegetable oil or something else. There is no cooking here. The smell that comes out is the smell of stew, which is the same as that passed by the restaurant in later generations. The smell is beyond compare.

Of course, it may be due to the geographical reasons. Most of the dishes here are salty and light, and the soup is mostly watery, unlike the thick oily red sauce in the Chu area, which is spicy and delicious.

After shopping around that day, the most attractive thing turned out to be a pastry shop, with the sweet fragrance wafting from it.
