Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 434
"It's not about money." Wen Shu replied: "Young lady, you have to have confidence in yourself. I see that your complexion has improved a lot now. After half a month, you will be fine without chicken soup."

Seeing her persistence, Mrs. Guo couldn't persuade her anymore, so she could only leave in frustration.

After the Guo family and his wife left, Mrs. Zhao asked Wen Shu, "When does the master plan to leave Beijing?"

"The exact date has not yet been determined, but it is estimated to be at the beginning of next month." Wen Shu said.

Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears, and said with a forced smile: "The date has been fixed, please remember to tell me, my little boss, so that I can go see you off. I will also tidy up the tea shop in advance, and when the time comes, the accounts and Hand over money and silver."

"Actually, there is no need to shut down the tea shop immediately..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao's eyes lit up instantly: "What does the Master mean?"

"It's not easy for a tea shop to have the prestige it has today, and the father-in-law of the land still needs incense, so let's just open it like this first, and when the incense is no longer available, or there are fewer passers-by, then it will be closed naturally."

By then, the flames of war must have spread.

Thinking of the picture of Jin Bing holding a weapon, eating, drinking, smashing and smashing in the teahouse, and possibly setting the teahouse on fire in the end, Wen Shu's heart clenched tightly.

Every flower, every tree, every house and every tile here was built by her hard work, and she didn't want to be ruined just like that.

Why is it the Song people who fled south!It was Song people who were forced to jump into the sea!It is the Song people who have their homes invaded!
Why!She is unwilling!
Wen Shu is not reconciled to moving south!Not reconciled to subjugation!But what can she do? !
This back and forth thought had torn her apart for days.

Every time I think about going south, this kind of unwillingness will emerge, and then I will be hit by reality again.

After leaving the tea shop and returning home, Wen Shu buried herself in the bed, thinking carefully about the next way.

In about a year or so, the Jin soldiers are about to fight. When there is a war, food and medicine will inevitably be in short supply, so she has to stockpile these materials in advance.

Fortunately, after the system is upgraded to level 12, the space of the storage baskets has doubled, and each space has reached [-] square meters. There are currently [-] storage boxes, which should be enough to store supplies.

As soon as he thought of it, Wen Shu got up quickly, wiped his face, and went to various rice shops in Xishi to order food.

To avoid arousing suspicion, she went to 80 or 5 stores, spent 2 guan, and purchased [-] kilos of rice and [-] kilos of flour.

These rations, if only their father and daughter eat, can last for three years, and they will take up 3 boxes in the storage basket.

After finishing these purchases, Wen Shu held only 30 guan in his hand, and transferred to the seed shop again.

The few thousand catties of grain can only be used for emergency, and the real survival still depends on the continuous output of grain.

If food is the need for survival, food seeds are hope!
In the end, Wen Shu spent 15 pennies to buy 300 catties of rice seeds, 200 catties of wheat seeds, and dozens of miscellaneous vegetable and fruit seeds.

By this time, only 15 puns were left in hand.

She went to several grocery stores and bought a lot of salt, oil, spices, agricultural tools, and wooden barrels and containers for water.

Water is the source of life. When the war comes, she doesn't know whether she can really be safe, so she thinks it is necessary to store some emergency water in the storage basket.

After finishing all this, it was getting dark, Wen Shu didn't stay outside, and went straight home.

When she got home, Wen Tai had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her to eat.

During the meal, Wen Shu talked about going back to her hometown again. Last time, her father dismissed the matter halfway through, and then it involved looking for relatives, and finally there was no more content.

Now, Wen Shu brought up the old story again, Wen Tai glanced at her and asked curiously, "Why do you want to go back to your hometown so much?"

In his opinion, Wen Shu grew up in the capital, why is he so eager to return home.

"I just want to go back and have a look. Among other things, my aunt's tomb must be swept."

The national calamity is too great. Anyone who hears it will be a big stone in their hearts. Dad has just encountered a "disaster" and his mood has not calmed down. It is better to keep this matter a secret.

Speaking of the younger sister who died young, Father Wen was silent, nodded after a while and said, "You're right, it's time to go back and see her."

Since coming to the capital, he hasn't been back in the past 17 years, and he feels very guilty.

When he first came to the capital, he also thought about going back to have a look, but firstly, it was a long way, and secondly, Wen Shuniang had passed away at that time, if he brought the young Wen Shu back to his hometown, in case people in the same village recognized him, If the report is made, he will have to go to prison again. What will Wen Shu do then? !

After thinking about it, I had no choice but to press down on the idea of ​​going home. Later, as Wen Shu grew up day by day, and things in the shop couldn't be turned around, the idea of ​​returning home gradually faded.

"Then dad is going to prepare. I read the almanac. The fifth day of next month is a good day. How about we leave that day?"

Wen Shu did the math, today is June 29, there are still six days before departure, and there is still time to arrange things in the capital.

Father Wen nodded, and then asked, "Fuzhou is far away, and it will take at least a month to go back and forth. You have made arrangements for the tea shop."

"Don't worry, father, everything has been arranged, and sister-in-law Zhao will help to watch."

Hearing what she said, Father Wen no longer has any doubts.

"Okay, then let's go on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and I'll pack it up too. It will take a month to go, and the wood in the shop must be cleaned up, otherwise, when I come back, it will be eaten by moths."

Father Wen went to tidy up happily, while Wen Shu looked around the courtyard feeling sad.

This home, where she has lived for more than ten years, carries all her memories, and she may never see it again.
After nightfall, Wen Shu let Hongying out to play, while he moved a bamboo bed and put it in the yard.Father Wen asked her what she was doing in surprise, Wen Shu smiled and said that she was going to sleep.
After hearing this, Father Wen repeatedly tried to dissuade her, saying that she is now a big girl, no more than a child, sleeping outside, and people will gossip if they see her.

"Once the courtyard gate is closed, no one can see it." Wen Shu didn't care, and lay down on his own clothes.

She wanted to experience the fun of her childhood again before leaving.

There was nothing he could do about her, Father Wen could only shake his head to close the courtyard door, and then moved a stool to sit at the door of the room to guard her.

Wen Shule was lying on the bamboo bed, looking at the stars above his head, recalling the good memories of his childhood, the noise outside seemed to gradually fade away, leaving only a quiet night sky and shining stars.

The cool wind hits, and the restless heart during the day seems to be calmed down, and it becomes quiet
I don't know how long it took, but when Father Wen wanted to call her to get up and go back to bed, he found that Wen Shu had already fallen asleep.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to sit back and watch like this all night, with only a trace of fish belly showing on the horizon.

When Wen Shu woke up again, it was dawn and the sun had risen from the east. She pushed away the red shadow rubbing against her neck, sat up from the bamboo bed, and was confused for a while before remembering what happened last night.

Thinking that I really just slept in the yard all night, I couldn't help being funny.

But it is also a wish.

After moving the bamboo bed back to the house, Wen Shu simply washed up and went to Qin Xiangfu with the basket.
