The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 68

"Yes." The twelfth lunar month in Jiangzhou is much more lively than Hehua Town, and Yao Yu feels that he should take Nuoer out to see and see more in the future. After all, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

Xie Zhimo parked the carriage outside Jiangzhou City, and the cost of looking after the carriage was more expensive than that of an ox cart. Xie Zhimo paid [-] Wen, and the five of them entered Jiangzhou on foot. Yao Yu was afraid that Nuo'er would get lost, so he led Nuo'er along the way. Son.

Xie Zhimo and Zhang Dehou walked in the front, Yao Yu and Nuo'er were in the middle, and Yao Chang walked in the back, so that Yao Yu's mother and son could be protected in the middle, and the group went straight to the horse market.

Yao Chang looked straight, and Yao Yu smiled and said, "Second Brother, if you like something, I'll give it to you."

Yao Chang shook his head quickly, and said with a serious face, "You can't buy me any more things."

Yao Yu knew that his second brother was a face-saving person, and giving away land and building a house was already the limit of what he could bear. If he really bought him another horse, he probably wouldn't want it if he was killed.

Nuoer hurriedly asked from the side, "Mom, when can I ride a horse?"

"In a few years, Nuo'er will be taller, so mother will buy you a horse, okay?" Yao Yu was not joking, she had planned to buy a horse for Nuo'er, those Mongolian children Didn't we all live on horseback since we were young?

"Really?" Noel asked happily.

"Really, when the time comes when Nuo'er thinks he can ride, tell mother, and mother will buy it for you." Yao Yu looked serious.

Nuo'er thought in her heart, let his father teach him first, and let his mother buy him another one when he can ride the red horse at home.

The five people visited the horse market. Except for Yao Yu who was not interested, the other four were very excited. After shopping for more than two hours, Zhang Dehou finally chose a black horse and sold it for 50 taels of silver.

Although Zhang Dehou felt sorry for the money, he felt it was worth it when he saw the horse he got.

"Do you want to install a carriage?" Xie Zhimo asked.

Zhang Dehou shook his head, "I'm the only one in the family, and Kang Zi also has a bullock cart when he goes out, so we can't buy many things on weekdays." Anyway, horse carts can also be made in Hehua Town, so if you really want to pretend, you can install one.

As soon as Xie Zhimo and his party came out of the horse market, Zhang Dehou hugged Nuo'er, "Come on, Nuo'er, Uncle Zhang will pick you up and sit down immediately."

Nuo'er sat on the horse and was a little nervous at first, Xie Zhimo said, "Don't be afraid, your Uncle Zhang is a good horseman."

Zhang Dehou was leading the horse and walking. After two steps, Nuo'er felt relieved. Xie Zhimo was afraid that Yao Yu would be worried, so he was going to come to comfort him. He just watched Yao Yu look around and didn't care at all.

Yao Yu turned around and saw Xie Zhimo looking at him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know you and Brother Zhang can both ride horses, not to mention they're just walking on a lead, and the speed is not fast." Besides, most people will cherish horses when they buy them. Zhang Dehou was willing to let Nuoer ride first, not because he liked it. At this time, Yao Yu would not say anything.

Seeing that Yao Yu trusted him and Zhang Dehou so much, Xie Zhimo walked to the horse with a smile on his face, he wanted to take care of Nuoer.

Speaking of which, the New Year's goods are almost ready, Yao Yu is just looking around at this meeting, Yao Chang, Zhang Dehou and Xie Zhimo are all focused on the dark horse, and Nuoer is even more excited because he is sitting on the horse up.

"Father, what's that?" Nuo'er sat on the horse, her gaze was much higher, and she could see more things naturally.

Xie Zhimo followed the direction of Nuoer's finger and said, "That's Salute Pao Fang, which specializes in selling fireworks."

Yao Yu naturally knew what fireworks were, but Nuoer had never seen them before, so she pestered Xie Zhimo to explain, Xie Zhimo didn't see much, so he didn't know how to answer, Yao Yu saw Xie Zhimo's tangled look, and said, "Nuoer wants to know , let’s just buy some and put them away during the Chinese New Year, shall we?”

"Okay!" Nuo'er agreed.

A group of people walked to the Salute Cannon Shop and only found out when they asked the price. Even the cheapest ones cost ten taels of silver. The owner of this shop is quite indifferent. Maybe most people will come to ask the price. .

Yao Yu looked at it, chose a slightly shaped one, and even asked for 15 taels, "Just buy this, boss, help me put it together."

The boss looked at Yao Yu's group, and really didn't expect this group of people to buy fireworks, but even so, the boss still packed the fireworks indifferently and handed them to Yao Yu.

Yao Chang was a little distressed, but seeing Yao Yu's family happy, he felt relieved. Money is nothing, you can earn money if you don't have it. The happiness of your family is the most important thing.

Yao Yu was a little worried at first whether Yao Chang could not accept his way of spending money, but seeing his second brother's expression was normal, he felt relieved.

As for Xie Zhimo, there is nothing wrong with that. Even if Yao Yu spent 1000 taels or 1 taels, he could not blink his eyes.

After a while, the group of people got tired of shopping, "Let's find a restaurant to eat." Yao Yu said.

"Okay, it's rare to come out." Xie Zhimo said, there were still so many people together.

"Which inn to go to?" Zhang Dehou asked, he was not very familiar with Jiangzhou either.

"Brother, may I ask which restaurant in Jiangzhou tastes good." Xie Zhimo asked a random passerby.

"That's the Wangchen Restaurant in the East City." The little brother replied.

After Xie Zhimo thanked them, the group went to Wangchen Restaurant. After reaching the door, someone came to help Zhang Dehou lead the horse to the stable in the backyard. As soon as the five entered the hall, someone warmly greeted them.

The decoration here is not gorgeous, but it is very warm, which makes Yao Yu feel familiar. Why is it so familiar, Yao Yu can't explain it for a while.

"Guest officer, five people together?" The waiter enthusiastically took the five people to an empty seat in the hall, "Can I sit here?"

The five people didn't have much opinion on the seats. Yao Yu and Nuo Er sat on one side, and the other three sat on the other side. The waiter wiped the table and asked them what they ordered. Yao Chang couldn't read, so naturally he couldn't order. It was also the first time for Xie Zhimo and Zhang Dehou to come here, and they didn't know what to order.

Everyone looked at each other, Yao Yu had no choice but to say, "Xiaoer, what special dishes do you have here?"

"That's a lot to say. The best sellers are eight-treasure wild duck and braised lion's head." The shop waiter began to recommend.

"Have one for all, do you have any appetizers?" After finally coming to the restaurant, I believe that the wine here must be better than the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in Hehua Town.

"Wild rice stems and stewed lentils are both good." The shop waiter answered fluently, and Yao Yu couldn't help but sigh, the shop waiter in this big place is really extraordinary.

"One portion for each, and two catties of wine," Yao Yu said.

"Okay, our minced pork pancakes are also delicious, would you like some?" The waiter in the shop made another recommendation based on Yao Yu's order.

"Okay." It sounds good.

The waiter said, "Everyone, please wait a moment, and make sure we serve the dishes as quickly as possible."

"The inn here is really inferior to Hehua Town." Zhang Dehou sighed, the enthusiasm and vision of the waiter alone can surpass Hehua Town by a lot.

Xie Zhimo was a little impatient, mainly because Yao Yu ordered two catties of wine just now, "I really want to taste this wine."

Zhang Dehou jokingly said, "Brothers and sisters, you still allow Zhimo to drink?" Those of them together, if anyone's wife knew that her husband was drinking, it would be strange if the world turned upside down. Husband ordered wine.

"This wine is not strong enough to get you drunk," Yao Yu said.

When Zhang Dehou heard this, he agreed again and again, "That's right, this wine won't make you drunk at all." After speaking, Zhang Dehou suddenly realized something, "Sister and sister, have you ever had a strong drink?"

Yao Yu was about to say of course, when the words came to his lips, Yao Yu suddenly realized, "Of course not, but I drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine from Hehua Town, and it didn't taste good." Let alone Lao Baigan, the wine from the previous life, the 53% wine she Have drank many times.

Xie Zhimo nodded repeatedly. Yao Yu bought the sweet-scented osmanthus wine on his own initiative at the time. Although it was not strong, it was still delicious.

Zhang Dehou's expression of meeting his confidant made Yao Yu feel a little ashamed, "Isn't it?

Yao Yu smiled and said, "Yes."

Sure enough, Wangchen Restaurant served the food very quickly. After a while, a table of dishes was all served, "Guest officer, your dishes are all served, please take your time."

Xie Zhimo poured a bowl of wine for everyone, then looked at Yao Yu, "Yu'er, do you want to drink?"

"I want half a bowl." Yao Yu just wanted to taste something.

Yao Chang was taken aback, when did his girl learn to drink?

Xie Zhimo hurriedly poured wine into Yao Yu's bowl.

Seeing Yao Yu being so forthright, Zhang Dehou's affection for Yao Yu rose sharply, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

The lion heads were a bit greasy, and there were exactly five of them on a plate. After Yao Yu took a small bite, he found that he couldn't eat any more. Seeing that Xie Zhimo was still eating, he simply gave Xie Zhimo more than half of the lion heads in the bowl, "I'll eat it." No more."

Xie Zhimo said, "It's okay, I will eat as I eat."

Yao Chang was even more dumbfounded now, this, this is fine, why doesn't his brother-in-law feel disgusted at all?

Yao Yu continued to eat the eight-treasure wild duck. To be honest, the taste was really good, but when he thought of the taste of the roast duck he ate in his previous life, he suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was a little tasteless. It's really good, but it tastes like it lacks a flavor.

Yao Yu shook his head. Ever since he started cooking, he has become more particular about food. This is not good. You can't be too picky, otherwise you won't have anything to eat outside.

Nuoer was eating minced meat biscuits, took a bite and said, "Mother, these biscuits are not as good as yours."

Yao Yu made a silent gesture, "Mother will cook for you when I go home."

"Okay." Nuo'er nodded contentedly.

Yao Yu took a sip of the wine in the bowl. It tasted better than sweet-scented osmanthus wine, but the strength of the wine was still weak. When she is free next year, she will try to distill this wine to a higher alcohol content.

The five of them returned to Shuangshui Village after drinking and eating.
