Chapter 229 Braised Pig Trotters
Mei Niang was helping her man's shoe soles in the yard. When she saw Gu Jiujiu driving an ox cart from outside the yard, she immediately got up with joy and walked towards her, "Xiao Jiu, are you here? Come in quickly sit down."

"Yeah." Gu Jiujiu looked at Meiniang and smiled, then got off the bullock cart.

Mei Niang asked Gu Jiujiu to tie the ox cart to the thatched shed, and took her to the main room.

After calling Gu Jiujiu to sit down, Mei Niang hurriedly made coarse tea and took the fried crispy small river prawns to eat with her.

Gu Jiujiu took a sip of tea before giving the little clothes that Yan's made to Mei Niang, and said with a smile: "These are made by my mother for the child in your womb, you put them away first, and wait until the next year to open them." In the spring, the child in your womb is born, and he can wear these bellybands and cloth shirts."

Mei Niang put away the clothes with a smile, and looked at Gu Jiujiu with some embarrassment, "Xiao Jiu, Aunt Yan made so many small clothes for the child in my belly, it's really troublesome for her."

"What's the trouble? Children's clothes are easy to make, and it doesn't take much effort." Gu Jiujiu said with a smile.

"Mei Niang, I'm back. I bought you dried fruits and pig's trotters at the market." At this moment, Meiniang's man came over with four pig's trotters in one hand and several bags of dried fruits in the other.When he saw that Gu Jiujiu was there, he smiled and asked, "Xiao Jiu, are you there?"

"Xiao Jiu, I just came here not long ago." Before Gu Jiujiu could answer, Mei Niang smiled and pointed to the little clothes on the table, "Aunt Yan made these, and asked Xiao Jiu to give them to me. sent by the child."

Mei Niang's man looked at the few small clothes on the table, and saw that each piece of fabric was made of high-quality red satin. There were no shops selling this kind of fabric in the market, but he once went to When he was in Jin'an City, he saw a merchant from the Cangyi Kingdom selling it, so he subconsciously looked at Gu Jiujiu and asked tentatively, "Xiao Jiu, are these brocades sold by merchants from the Cangyi Kingdom used to make these clothes?"

"That's right." Gu Jiujiu nodded, "My father went to Cangyi country and became an accountant with a businessman from Cangyi country. Not long ago, he entrusted an uncle to bring us a few horses from Cangyi country. Brocade and tea back."

"Sir, how do you know that these clothes are made of brocade?" After Gu Jiujiu finished speaking, Meiniang looked at her man with some doubts, saying that she knew that the clothes were made of brocade from the Cangyi Kingdom. It's because Mrs. Yan told her.Otherwise, she must not know.

Seeing Mei Niang asking, Mei Niang's man explained to her briefly, "It's like this. Last year, when my second brother and I went to Jin'an City, we happened to meet a businessman from the Cangyi Kingdom. He was in the silk business. Yes. At that time, I saw that the satin he sold was fresh and bright, and it was smooth to the touch, so I thought about buying one for you to make a skirt. As a result, I went to ask, a satin At least a few taels of silver, I had hundreds of coppers with me at the time, so I didn’t buy any.”

"So that's how it is." After hearing her man's words and understanding, Meiniang looked at him and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu is here, you go to our chicken coop to catch a fat and fleshy old hen and kill it. Let's have braised pork trotters and stewed chicken with mushrooms for lunch."

"Okay, I'll go now." The man smiled honestly, gave Mei Niang a few bags of dried fruit in his hand, and walked out with the pig's trotters.
