Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 33 The Golden Lock
After staying in Anping Lane for half an hour, I saw that the time for breakfast was over, but the things I brought had not been sold out. There were 21 steamed buns left, one-third of the bucket of Erchen Tang, and Grandma Tea. There was even half a barrel left.

Wen Shu was so frustrated that his shoulders dropped.

Amidst the lively shouting on the street, she pushed the car back home sullenly.

As soon as she got home, before entering the courtyard, she saw the shop in front of her. Her father was laying tiles with the two uncles she had made friends with.

She was slightly startled, and then her dark almond eyes rolled, and an idea popped up.

Leaning the car close to the wall behind the courtyard door, after guessing that her father could not see the car behind the wall and her, she sneaked into her father's room stooping quietly.

What happened this morning clearly told her that it would not work to make money by increasing her breakfast intake. If she wanted to pay off that huge debt as soon as possible, she could only pin her hopes on the iron box.

Right now, her father is busy building the roof of the shop, and he won't be able to get down for a while, so why don't she take advantage of this time to steal the box out, and sneak in again, maybe she's lucky and can get something.

Although there are certain dangers, the money comes quickly after all. Didn't you see that she only stayed for about a quarter of an hour and made six pennies?

Thinking of this, she touched the cabinet with excitement.

Unexpectedly, after taking a closer look, she discovered that her father had actually locked the cabinet. Wen Shu was taken aback, and then quickly thought about where her father would hide the key?
She looked around for a while, and finally her gaze stayed on the bed on the right.

She remembered that she had accidentally seen his father hiding things under the pillow before, could it be
She looked out the window and saw that her father was still laying tiles with his back to her, so she straightened up and threw herself to the side of the bed in peace of mind, and groped under the pillow.

After a while, she really felt a bulge, and she was overjoyed. She threw the pillow aside and lifted the quilt, revealing the wooden box that was mostly embedded in the bed board.

The wooden box is not big, only bigger than the palm of your hand. Maybe it is not locked outside for convenience, so Wen Shu opened it easily.
There are a few things inside, the key to the cabinet door is on top, and there are also two folded papers and a long-lived lock inside.

The paper Wenshu didn't need to look at it to know that it must be the title deed and house deed of the front shop. What surprised her was that the longevity lock was not only pure gold, but also solid. Pass money.

A trace of doubt flashed in Wen Shu's mind, when did her family become so rich?And whose longevity lock is it?
In her memory, she never carried this long-life lock when she was a child, and she herself has a silver long-life lock, which is currently locked in a cabinet in her own room.

Just as she was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from outside. Wen Shu was startled, and hurriedly put the lid back on the wooden box, restored the quilt, and quickly hid behind the curtain of the bed.

"It's so windy, I can't bear it after squatting on it for a while. The two elder brothers sit down first. I will go to the kitchen and bring the grandma tea that Aning made earlier." Wen Tai said while introducing Sun Heping and the dynasty Main room.

"Hey, grandma, drink tea slowly. Hurry up and bring a pot of hot water, let me take a couple of sips to go to the cold." Sun Heping sat down and said.

Wen Tai nodded again and again: "Sure, hot water is always prepared, I'll go get it right away." Then, he turned out of the main room and went to the kitchen.

Wen Shu, who was hiding behind the bed curtain, let out a long sigh of relief, but fortunately she didn't come in. She looked at the key in her hand, but the pure gold longevity lock kept flashing in her mind.

That should belong to my brother!Wen Shu felt a little lost.

That's right, she also had an older brother, but it was a pity that he passed away before she was born, and her mother became ill because of missing her elder brother, and had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to her, and her soul returned to the west.

Every year during Qingming, her father would take her to Jingyangpo outside the city to pay homage, so she knew that she had an older brother, even though there was no record of this person in the household registration.

She suppressed the sourness in her heart, and said to herself: Daddy loves me very much, a golden lock can't prove anything.Just like when she was sick, daddy was able to hire a doctor for her with all the money the family had.

What is a golden lock, and she doesn't like it.That thing is not only heavy to wear, but also eye-catching.

She secretly relieved herself, Wen Tai had already brought hot water in the main room, and was talking with his two good brothers at this moment.

"You two brothers have worked hard, and if you persist for half a day, you should be able to finish the shop. At that time, I will invite the two brothers to go to the perfume shop and take a good hot bath."

Hearing this, Sun Heping regained his spirits immediately, held the bowl and said: "It's kind, I remember that the last time I went to wash it was a month ago, and it happened that I felt itchy these two days, so let the back wiper take a good look at it." rub."

"Hahaha, then it's settled." Wen Tai laughed loudly.

Wen Shu behind the curtain felt itchy when he heard the voices coming from outside the house.

Although she didn't take a bath for a month like Uncle Sun, but after careful calculation, it was almost half a month. She remembered that the last time she took a bath was before it snowed.

No, she would ask Wang Ling to go to the perfume shop to take a good bath in the next afternoon, she secretly decided.

Probably after hiding a cup of tea behind the curtain, the people in the outer main room finally got up and left after resting.

Wen Shu heard that there was no movement outside, and immediately came out from behind the bed curtain, quickly opened the cabinet, carried the iron box out, then locked the lock, and put the key back into the wooden box as it was.

After carefully inspecting the bed, she felt that her father should not be able to detect any traces, so she hugged the box, bent over and ran back to her room from the main room with her head down.

It's okay, it's okay, I didn't find it!
After returning to the room, Wen Shu let out a sigh of relief, threw the tin box on the bed casually, sat down on the edge of the bed, took a few deep breaths, and calmly thought about the preparations to be made before going in.

First of all, you must bring a kitchen knife for self-defense. This is the most indispensable thing, and you can make money if you have a life.

Secondly, there must be no less bags for things, and it is best to bring two more. For example, in the case of the last time, if she brought a few more bags, she might earn more than six pennies.

Third, you need to bring some fresh water and dry food. Although the previous stays were not long, this time it shouldn't be too long, but it's still necessary just in case.

Fourth, it would be great if I could bring some trauma medicine. In case of injury, there is still a way out.It seems that there is still some hemostatic powder that she prescribed when she injured her foot last time, so she can bring it with her.

After some thought, Wen Shu didn't rush to prepare things to go in immediately, but locked the iron box in the bedside cabinet first,

Seeing that it was getting late, she still had to arrange lunch later. The matter of inviting Sun's family to dinner that day was arranged for today. As for the ingredients, their father and daughter had already prepared all the ingredients when they went shopping yesterday, so they can just cook today.
