On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

After Xiao Lao Er and Xiao Lao Er came back, they were very happy to see that their family had already earned a share of the family business.

I helped make pancakes, and also went to the small restaurant to turn over the pots, collect the money, and collect the dishes.

After taking turns, everyone felt that Xiao Dalang's job of collecting vegetables was more interesting.

Not only can you earn a little money by collecting vegetables, but the most important thing is that you can sell the homemade pancakes.

Moreover, it is good to go out and walk around more, get to know the guards guarding the city gate, and hear more news.

Of course, the family will no longer buy mule carts or ox carts, so the three of them can only take turns traveling together.

By the end of November, everyone in the family was wearing new cotton-padded clothes.

Who let all their belongings be left on the ship when they fled, which made others cheaper, and now they can only make new ones.

"It's so cold!" Xiao Xiao now understood that it was possible that people could freeze to death in winter.

Like them, there are plenty of charcoal fires and thick quilts, but as soon as they go out, the roaring southeast, northwest, and northwest winds blow.

The cold wind can penetrate the cotton-padded jacket and blow into the joints of the bones.

If a poor person's cotton-padded clothes are not thick enough, or if they have not kept warm for too long, they will get sick from the cold, and they don't have the money to see a doctor. This is simply an endless cycle. Then doesn't it mean that they can only go to the West?

She feels that her family can be considered well-off now. The most important thing is that they are willing to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Even though he was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, Xiao Xiao was still cold and shivering uncontrollably as soon as he went out.

She immediately ran back, wrapped her father in the big cotton-padded jacket that he was reluctant to wear, and then plucked up the courage to walk out.

"It's so cold, I miss the warm quilt." Xiao Xiao persuaded herself: "Forget it, we have already gone out, why don't we go to the restaurant quickly?"

The main reason is that Mrs. Liu had a fever yesterday, so she couldn't go to the cashier.

Today, my father and his second uncle Xiao Dalang Xiao Lian went out early in the morning.

There are too few vegetables in winter, and vegetables and radishes can last for several days, so there is no need to collect and deliver vegetables every day.

However, Boss Xiao still wanted to make money. He felt that there were not many people wandering around outside at this time, so he quietly went into the mountains to hunt.

Not to mention, they hunted a lone wild deer last time and secretly sold it to a big restaurant for more than two taels of silver.

Boss Xiao guessed that there were deer herds in the mountains over there, so he took his younger brother, eldest nephew, and second daughter to try their luck.

Then Xiao Xiao said that he would go to the restaurant to collect cash today.

She trotted into the restaurant, and it was indeed much warmer inside.

It was not yet early noon, and the two guys were chatting and joking around the brazier. They also smiled and said hello when they saw her.

The rich aroma of meat also wafted from the small kitchen.

Xiao Xiao also went into the small kitchen: "Grandpa, help me install a hand stove and a brazier."

The best heating tool in winter is the hand stove.

As the name suggests, it is a charcoal stove that can be held in your hand.

The inner tank is a charcoal stove, which can be used to hold hot charcoal. The outer cover has rich shapes and various patterns, but only wealthy people can have it.

Like the one Xiao Xiao can use now, the outside of the hand stove is made of bamboo.

Old Man Xiao responded: "Okay!"

Burning a fire in the summer is a pain, but burning a fire in the winter is a pleasure. He was afraid that his granddaughter would come to take over his territory.

Wu glanced at her and felt that it was off-putting: "Oh, San'er, you are wearing too thick clothes. It looks like a ball. It doesn't look good at all."

Xiao Xiao didn't care either: "As long as it's warm, why do you want to look good?"

"After two years, you won't think so." Mrs. Wu ate a large piece of braised pork on the pretext of tasting the saltiness, and couldn't help but boast: "Now my cooking skills are really good, salty." It’s light and appropriate.”

Then he muttered: "When Erlang comes back, we have to let him make up for it."

Now Xiao Erlang is studying in the academy and can only come back to rest for two days during the academy's ten-day holiday.

Mrs. Xiao also beamed when she thought of her second grandson who could study: "It's such a cold day, isn't the academy about to have a holiday?"

Xiao Xiao envies the current gentlemen and wives very much.

Whether it is winter vacation or summer vacation, the vacation is extremely long.

At this moment, the waiter Xiaobao walked in and whispered excitedly: "There are more than ten customers outside, and they look very rich."

When guests come, Xiao Xiao, the cashier, becomes a hero.

She carried the stove and went out. When she saw a few people standing there in the restaurant, her legs went weak and she wanted to turn around and run away.

Oh my god, standing in the middle of the living room, surrounded by a dozen men in smart suits, isn't that fat white man in a red cloak none other than Sheng Yang?

Xiao Xiao originally thought that the two would never meet again. Who would have thought that he would suddenly appear in front of her?

Thinking of the big gift she gave him, which almost made him faint, could Xiao Xiao not panic?

Fortunately, she hasn't lost her mind yet, thinking that what she wears now is completely different from the first time he saw her.

Sheng Yang glanced at the 'ball' that came out, then moved his eyes away in disgust, raised his chin and said arrogantly, "I've booked the whole place. Bring me all the good food you have here."

The guard beside him cooperated and put two five-tael silver ingots on the counter: "I heard that you can cook Yuzhang-flavored dishes. Let's cook your special dishes. They should be spicy and fragrant. Be quick with your hands and feet and prepare them. Three tables.”

Xiao Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that he didn't act rashly. He lowered his eyebrows and responded submissively: "Remember, I'll go to the kitchen and tell you."

He didn't forget to quickly grab the money in his hand, wondering in his heart whether the prostitute medicine in the kitchen would be enough to send them to the west.

However, when she went to the kitchen, she found a guard following her in.

He was obviously staring at her or the people in the kitchen, fearing that they might tamper with the food.

Then her original plan would not work.

Xiao Xiao was wondering, should he take the opportunity to slip away?

After all, she was the woman who almost killed Sheng Yang, so she must be remembered deeply by him, and he was afraid that if she continued to hang out in front of him, he would think of her.

This was also thanks to the fact that it was summer when they first met, and she even tied her waist specially in order to create a frail look.

It was winter now, and she was wearing her father's new cotton-padded jacket. She was as strong as a bear. No wonder he didn't recognize her.

Seeing that she had brought a stranger in, Mrs. Wu was a little confused: "San'er, have you ordered food outside?"

"Yes," Xiao Xiaoshen was afraid that Mrs. Wu would also want to see the noble master, so she lowered her voice and said, "He is a rich and noble master with a lot of money. He is very happy to pay for it. He gave us ten taels of silver and asked us to eat Yuzhang's specialties. vegetable."

"Hurry up and prepare three tables of food." Xiao Xiao was afraid that they would be recognized when they went out, so she said with a look of disgust on her face: "Look at the shabby clothes you are all wearing, you are not allowed to go out later, lest the young master will dislike you and be unable to eat you." Cooked food.”

The guard who had been watching them didn't notice anything was wrong. Instead, he felt that the shopkeeper was pretty good.
