I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 89
After a night's rest, Zhou Chenyu got up early and tied up his hair as usual. Just tie it into a neat bun and insert a wooden hairpin.But today I don't know what kind of evil was in my hand, and I couldn't prick the ball head properly.

Li Xiuju made breakfast and saw that she was still not coming out. She walked over and saw her scratching her hair randomly and pulling at her own scalp. She smiled and said, "I just combed my hair, why are you still angry with me? Let me come." "

Li Xiuju walked behind Zhou Chenyu and combed it behind his ears with a comb. Zhou Chenyu couldn't see clearly behind her, but she could only feel her hair being grabbed by Li Xiuju, "Just mess with it casually."

"Since you are going to work in a wealthy family, your hair will be combed and you will be more energetic. Mom will braid your hair and tie it up with hairpins so that your hair will not fall out."

After Li Xiuju finished speaking, she glanced forward at Zhou Chenyu's face. Zhou Chenyu felt that his head was shaking with his hair, but it did not hurt his scalp and was quite comfortable.

She started to feel sleepy again as she sat there. After yawning, Li Xiuju walked up to her and looked at her with relief like an old mother, "What a beautiful girl."

pretty?

Zhou Chenyu bit his lip. He couldn't find a mirror to look at. He reached out and touched his dark hair that was rolled into a ball by a wooden hairpin behind his ear. There was also a bunch of long hair deliberately left at the bottom of the ball. "Old lady, what are you doing with the hair here?" Why don’t you get rolled up together?”

"Don't move." Li Xiuju took Zhou Chenyu's hand away, walked to the window, picked a pink wild rose flower that was there, pinned it on Zhou Chenyu's hair behind the ear, and held it Lifting her cheeks, she smiled with satisfaction:
"You usually curl your hair up just for convenience, like a young boy. Now you have a bunch of hair on your back like this. It's both smart and graceful. How nice! It makes you look a bit girly. "

Zhou Chenyu raised her eyebrows. She thought it would be nice to have her hair tied in a bun. She used to not comb her hair when she went to work. She washed herself, put on makeup, scratched her hair and rushed to catch the subway.

No more flowers now?

"Hehe, it looks good." Zhou Chenyu had a cute and serious smile on his face. After breakfast, he made flowers as soon as he left the village.

She rushed to the city, and the servants arranged by Feng Chuli had been waiting for a long time.

Zhou Chenyu took people to visit several nearby grocery stores, compared prices and quality, and then reluctantly went back to the store where he bought ingredients yesterday.

This shop has a complete range of items, and the quality is really good, but the owner is stingy and won't cut the price.

The shopkeeper who was sitting on the chair and drinking tea pouted saw Zhou Chenyu and remembered the price negotiation that made his mouth dry yesterday. Knowing that he was not a big customer, he said in a perfunctory manner: "Girl, what do you want to buy today? "

Under the supervision of the old man, Zhou Chenyu walked around the house slowly, and then looked at the old man with a smile, "Shopkeeper, to be honest, the things I bought here yesterday were all good, so I will think about everything today. Everything costs fifty pounds."

"Fifty kilograms?!" The old man was so shocked that his teeth almost popped. Zhou Chenyu quickly gained the upper hand, "Yes, fifty kilograms. It will be used for Mr. Tang's housewarming party. Can you supply it?"

It was known to everyone that the Tang Mansion would hold a housewarming banquet three days later. The old man suddenly received this big order, and his expression suddenly changed. His smile almost reached the bottom of his ears. He smiled enthusiastically:
"Girl, I didn't expect you to have first-class taste at such a young age! Our store is the largest grocery store in Qingshui Town. If I can't provide it, other places can't even provide it. Girl, what you want is what you want. I will raise enough for you.”

Zhou Chenyu watched the old man's attitude change 180 degrees. Sure enough, once a person has money, the world becomes better.

She looked at him meaningfully and reminded: "Shop, if I buy so many goods, should I buy one or two coppers less for each item?"

The shrewd old man's smile suddenly changed, and after looking into Chen Yu's eyes last week, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Girl, look at how old I am, one foot is already in the grave, it's not easy to make money! Everything is one or two coppers short, which is killing me, girl." If Zhou Chenyu hadn't seen the jade ring on his hand and the jade pendant on his waist, he would have almost believed his lies, "Sure enough, He is a veritable iron rooster."

The old man pretended not to hear, "Girl, what did you say?"

Feng Chuli has no upper limit on the budget for preparing ingredients. As long as everything is put to good use, it doesn't matter how much money he spends.

The store owner refused to let go, so there was no need for Zhou Chenyu to make each other unhappy, so he took a step back, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Okay, let's prepare the goods."

Tremella fungus, red beans, wolfberry and other items have been ordered, but mugwort is still undecided.It's just that mugwort cannot be stored for many days like red bean and white fungus. Especially mugwort that has been soaked in water will spoil in less than two days, so it is best to use it on the same day it is picked.

Zhou Chenyu visited the vegetable market, and only two gray-haired old men put out mugwort, and the quantity was not large, and could only be used by two or three households.

But this is not surprising. Mugwort in the countryside is like wild vegetables. If you want to eat it, you can find it in the wild. Only a few wealthy people buy it.

The servant looked at the huge vegetable market, but there was no mugwort, "Miss Zhou, what should we do?"

Wormwood.

Isn't there a white house wasteland in Zhoujiacun?
"Go, let's go back first!"

Returning to the Tang Mansion, Zhou Chenyu quickly asked the two stewards of the kitchen for instructions and reported it to Feng Chuli. After receiving permission, she immediately ran home.

Li Xiuju was sitting in front of the yard weaving cages. She saw Zhou Chenyu's anxious face and asked worriedly: "What happened?"

"I have something very important to ask for your help with!" Zhou Chenyu told her the whole story. Li Xiuju's frowned eyebrows relaxed and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Just picking up mugwort? Isn't this simple?"

"The mugwort I want to use is estimated to be as much as two baskets a day, which adds up to six baskets in three days. Is there that much?"

Li Xiuju made cages again and sold sugar water. She didn't know anything about business, but if you ask where there are mugwort and wild vegetables in the village, what woman wouldn't know?

She looked extremely relaxed, "Mugwort grows not only in the wasteland of Baiwu, but also by the stream where we wash clothes, near the vegetable planting fields, and at the foot of the mountain behind our vegetable garden. There are so many of them everywhere that you can't pick them all up!"

Zhou Chenyu sat down, "That's great!"

It was rare for Li Xiuju to use herself. In order to reduce Zhou Chenyu's troubles, she thought of doing everything herself. "On the days when the banquet was to be held, my mother and Baoyu went out to pick up the leaves in the morning. They picked the tenderest leaves and collected enough for two baskets. , I’ll ask Baoyu to deliver it to you personally, so don’t worry!”

Zhou Chenyu nodded sharply, "Well, with you and Baoyu as my rearguard, I can rest assured! That's how it's settled!"
