neighbors with the king

Chapter 15
"Qingqing, is it true or not?" In the end, it was Old Man Su who asked.

"Really, but there are other herbs in it. I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow to have a look." Su Qingqing said heartily.

"By the way, if uncle is free at home tomorrow, he can grind the wormwood into powder for later use."

"I'm free, I'm free." Su Zhongren, who was limping on one leg, was usually a little inferior, but now when he heard that he had a task assigned to him, he suddenly became excited.

"By the way, who else in the village knows carpentry?" Su Qingqing asked.It is better to use a copper box for moxibustion, but now the family does not allow it, so we can only use a wooden box for the second time.

"There are ready-made ones at home, both father and uncle know a little bit." Su Zhongyi said happily, she was happy to be able to show her skills in front of her daughter.

"Okay, I'll draw a picture for you later, and you guys make some wooden boxes for me." Su Qingqing explained.

"It's just a box, no problem." Hearing that it was such a simple matter, Su Zhongyi readily agreed.

"Later, let's wash the purslane, put it in hot water for a while, and then put it on a mat or a stone to dry, so we won't be afraid of running out of cooked vegetables in winter." Qingqing will consider everything she can arrive. "By the way, Grandpa, I want to go to the city tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, I will go to the city to deliver embroidery, and there is not much food at home." Su Qingyun said the last sentence almost through gritted teeth.She knows the difficulties at home!
Apart from paying taxes, the common people planted land, and there was not much left, and the Su family had more land and less land, so there was not enough food for them.

"This is 210 Wen. It's the new wages from the prince Zhuangzi. Let's buy some rough noodles and brown rice for now." Su Zhongyi handed over the recent wages to Su Qingjian.

"Qingqing is entering the city for the first time, you have to take her well." Mr. Su told his grandson seriously.

"Yes." Su Qingjian replied.

After dinner, the whole family hurriedly cleaned up, and worked together to wash the horse-tooth vegetables, put them in a pot and soak them in water, and finally spread them on bamboo mats to dry.And Su Qingqing also drew several jars for moxibustion for Su Zhongren on the sand.

Since it was the next day to go to the city, when the work was over, everyone washed up and went to sleep.

Maybe it was because she was too tired on the mountain one day, Su Qingqing almost fell asleep when her head touched the pillow.

"Qingqing, get up quickly." Dimly, she heard someone calling her by her ear.

Trying to open his eyes, it turned out to be Hui Niang.

"Mom, what are you doing?" she asked in a daze.

"Aren't you going to follow into the city? Get up quickly, or it will be too late." Hui Niang watched her huddled under the blanket with a funny face.

"Ah?" As soon as it was too late, Su Qingqing was fully awake.

She got up in a hurry, washed briefly, and then came out.

When she came out to take a look, Su Qingshan and others were waiting for her to go out.

Su Qingqing blushed, "Did you carry the mushroom on your back?"

"Leave it to me and Brother Jian." Su Qingshan said.

"Aren't you going?" Seeing that Su Qingfeng had no plans to go out, Qingqing asked with concern.

"I'm digging vegetables at home, so there's no need for so many people to go there together." Su Qingfeng was secretly happy when he heard her concern.

"Oh, then we'll bring you delicious food when we come back." Su Qingqing yawned big.

Su Qingfeng knew the situation at home, even the food was about to be cut off, so how could he have spare money to bring food for himself.But Su Qingqing was very happy with this heart. "good."

"Let's go." Su Qingjian said with the basket on her back.

The four brothers and sisters went out, and it was still dark and gurgling at this time.

Su Qingqing shook her head, in this sad ancient times, there is no car, no wonder you have to get up early.

It is said that the town is about ten miles away from the village.

"Are you afraid, Qingqing?" Seeing Su Qingqing's confused look, Su Qingshan leaned on her and asked with concern.

"Don't be afraid." Su Qingqing cheered up.

"Come on, eat the buns." Su Qingyun took out some hot buns, which were left over from last night.

She handed two to Su Qingqing, and one for the rest.

Su Qingqing is also welcome, with her current small body, if she doesn't eat enough, she won't be able to walk into the city at all.

"Aren't these the children of the Su family? They came out so early." A bullock cart passed by them.

"Aunt Song, are you shopping today?" Seeing someone she knew, Su Qingyun and the others took the initiative to say hello to everyone, and Su Qingqing also nodded with a smile. Anyway, she only knew Mrs. Song in the car.It turns out that there were still cars in ancient times, but unfortunately they had no money.

"Of course I have to go out early if I don't have money." A girl giggled as she watched them.

This girl looked a little familiar, and Su Qingqing rarely paid attention to her when she saw her gloating.So what if she is poor, who can see that she will still be poor tomorrow.

"Taohua don't talk, I'm afraid that some people will jump out and stab people with knives." Zhu said ironically, looking at the people under the car.

"Let's go first." The Qiye in the village was driving the car. Seeing Zhu's provocation, he whipped his whip and hurried on his way.

"Qingqing, don't pay attention to this kind of person." Su Qingyun was afraid that she would get angry, so he comforted her.

"I'm not angry." Su Qingqing replied with a smile, she really wasn't angry, but Mrs. Zhu was very good, and there were not many people who could make Su Qingqing remember her.

Several people saw that the sun was rising, so they quickened their pace and hurried on their way.

When she arrived in the city, Su Qingqing felt that her calves were shaking, she sighed to herself, she was really weak.

But soon, this physical fatigue was forgotten by the novelty of seeing the bustling scene on the street.In modern times, she has been to some ancient street opened in various cities, but that kind of street is far less shocking than the one she saw with her own eyes.

She looked here and there like a little fool, and she would reach out to touch when she saw something she was interested in. Of course, this kind of behavior of looking but not buying made her stare a lot, but Su Qingqing I don't care either.

"Okay, Qingqing, don't touch it anymore, we have to sell mushrooms." Su Qingqing said to her.

"I guess I can't find a good place to sell it." Looking at the sun, Su Qingshan said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll leave everything to you." Su Qingqing put away her thoughts of having fun. "Do you know where there is a good restaurant?"

"Why are you looking for a restaurant?" Su Qingyun asked suspiciously, almost saying that even if they found a restaurant, they wouldn't have the money to go in.

"There is a street in front, and there are several restaurants there." Su Qingjian said, "I visited it last time."

"Let's go and have a look." Su Qingqing regained her spirits, but she didn't know what this ancient restaurant looked like.
