The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 12

The meat buns here are really big, Fang Yumin couldn't help sighing when he saw the buns.Such a steamed stuffed bun can be enough for a child to eat.A meat bun sold for 3 renminbi, and Fang Yumin bought two meat buns.I sat down again at a stall selling bean curd and ordered two bowls of bean curd.The couple happily took this as lunch.The tofu hua here is savory with peanuts and pickles added.Sugar is expensive, I guess?Fang Yumin looked around but didn't see any sweets for sale.

Xiao Ming smiled at Fang Yumin, opened his mouth wide and took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and then took another mouthful of tofu flower. The happy little appearance was like eating delicacies from mountains and seas, which made Fang Yumin so sad that he almost couldn't eat it.

To be honest, the stuffing of this meat bun is not much, and there are more vegetables and less meat. Fortunately, there is lard in it and it tastes quite delicious.But this tofu flower is smooth and tender, quite refreshing.But Fang Yumin thinks that the sweet one is better, why not buy some sugar and make it for Xiao Ming himself, the amino acid contained in soybeans is the most complete among plants.

After eating the steamed stuffed bun and tofu flower, Xiao Ming was so full that he hiccupped.But Fang Yumin still bought a bunch of candied haws for Xiao Ming to eat, and she began to look around to figure out what she would buy back home.
The West Market is much more lively than the East Market, and there are not many shops, mostly street stalls.This is not to say that the quality of these goods is not good, but that everyone likes to put them on the ground or sell them on a simple shelf.It is convenient to clean hands and feet by collecting the oilcloth or shelf when the things are sold out.Shop rent and some miscellaneous fees are also exempted.

Therefore, in the West Market, when it was almost time to gather, the merchants would sell the remaining goods at a low price.Fang Yumin walked around and got familiar with it and was waiting for that moment. Now she is going to take Xiao Ming to a cloth store to buy cloth.

The cloth shops in the West Market all sell low-to-medium quality cotton and linen, and the prices are quite reasonable.Picking and picking, Fang Yumin finally picked out a light blue one, a dark blue one and a floral cotton cloth. After some bargaining with the shopkeeper, it cost 100 cash to save a change.That's 5 catties of pork. Fang Yumin's heart ached when she paid for it.But the clothes, quilts and bed sheets at home have to be made, and Xiao Ming's clothes have to be at least two new sets, and he can't always wear patched ones.

Fang Yumin sharp-eyed saw that a clerk in the cloth shop rolled out a basket of cloth heads and corners, which seemed to be processed products, and Fang Yumin hurriedly put on a smile and asked: "Boss, uh, shopkeeper, do you want these rags?" ?”

"That? No, take it if you want. But don't take it here, go to the back alley." Don't hit the smiling person, the skinny shopkeeper is actually quite impatient, and there are too many people asking this go.But Fang Yumin had just bought cloth from him, and he couldn't send her away with such a smile.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, thank you." Fang Yumin bent down to thank the skinny shopkeeper, and hurriedly dragged Xiao Ming to the back alley. Fang Yumin is not the only one who knows how to save food and money, she must be waiting in the back alley There must be many people picking up the cloth.

Sure enough, there were already three middle-aged women waiting there. As long as the cloth shop assistant dragged out a basket, they would rush to grab it.Fang Yumin felt that she was not capable, so she could only wait for the opportunity.

While those women were rushing up to grab the newly dragged out basket of rags, Fang Yumin quietly went up to the clerk who was about to go back to the cloth shop with a curled lip, stuffed two pennies, and asked softly: "Brother, how about it?" It's convenient, can you save a basket for me later?"

That guy, Fang Yumin, was a little taken aback when he walked through the back door, but he was a smart guy after all, who wouldn't want to make money if he had a bargain?Although only two copper plates.He sized up Fang Yumin, saw that she was pretty and young, and she was cleanly dressed. She was no match for those three women who were fighting for rags, so he couldn't help feeling good about her, and nodded towards Fang Yumin in agreement .

Fang Yumin was overjoyed, she resisted and pulled Xiao Ming to the side, pretending to want to snatch it but was shy, waiting for the guy to announce that all the rags were thrown away today.

Sure enough, when the little brother came out again, he only dragged half a basket of rags and said to the three women: "That's all that's left for today, take it and leave quickly."

"Why are there so few today?"

"Yes."

The three women stared at the basket, asking questions while making preparations to rush to grab it at any time.

"If you talk too much, I won't give it to you tomorrow!"

"I'm sorry I'm sorry."

The guy threw the basket out and glanced at Fang Yumin from the end of his eyes.Fang Yumin understood, and hurriedly asked Xiao Ming to stand far away, and put down the bamboo basket on her back for him to look at. She stepped forward and made a move that she wanted to grab, but she only circled around the periphery.

"Sister, you won't be able to grab the cloth like this." A woman said to Fang Yumin kindly. She had already robbed a lot, her hair was messed up, and her clothes were a little crooked. She was very embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, I know. Today... I, I will come back tomorrow." Fang Yumin lowered her head and acted like a shy daughter-in-law.

"Well, even if it's tomorrow, you won't be able to grab it like this. Hey, I'll give you these, it's not easy for everyone." The woman kindly gave Fang Yumin a small portion.

Fang Yumin didn't expect to meet a good person. I really couldn't tell when I saw her robbing so fiercely just now.She hurriedly waved her hand: "You earned it so hard, why are you so embarrassed to take it for nothing?"

"Hehe, these rags are not even enough for a pillow towel. Okay, take it, I'm leaving." The woman stuffed the rag into Fang Yumin's arms, then smiled and packed her things and left with the other two women .

Holding the rags, Fang Yumin forgot to thank her, until the clerk from the cloth shop dragged a basket and said to her, "Hey, quickly take the rags away."

"Ah? Oh, thank you, brother, thank you." Fang Yumin came back to her senses, thanked the waiter hurriedly, then shook off the big cloth towel that she brought, tied the basket of rags tightly, and returned the basket to the waiter .

"Mother." Xiao Ming, who was guarding the bamboo basket, saw that Fang Yumin had wrapped the cloth, and hurriedly called her.Then he bent down and took out all the bamboo tubes in the bamboo basket, carried them on his back, took out the food box, and waited for Fang Yumin to put the cloth bag into the bamboo basket.

"Here we come." Fang Yumin walked over with a smile and touched Xiao Ming's head, then took the food box in Xiao Ming's hand and put it in the bamboo basket. No more.Fang Yumin had no choice but to put the bamboo tube on Xiao Ming's body back, and the big cloth bag could only be carried by hand.

Although it is inconvenient to carry too many things, Fang Yumin is still in a good mood.When she was just packing up the rags, she discovered that the rags left by this guy were relatively large. It seemed that the two pennies were worth the money.

"Xiao Ming, let's go." Fang Yumin picked up the bamboo basket, carried the cloth bag in one hand and took Xiao Ming's hand in the other, and walked towards the vegetable market.After a while, they bought seasoning and pork, and they went back.No matter how much Fang Yumin wanted to buy now, he couldn't take it.

Along the way, Yu Min bought star anise, pepper, fennel, cinnamon and other spices that they regarded as medicinal materials at the street stalls, packed them in food boxes and put them in bamboo baskets.Then they walked to Fang Xiaolian's still a little impression of selling daily necessities at a cheap grocery store.It was there that I met Aunt Chunhua who had sold out the baskets and baskets of bamboo products she had woven.

Fang Yumin hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Aunt Chunhua, are all your baskets sold out?"

"Ah, it's Xiaolian and Xiaoming. It's just a little bit, and they're all sold. Hey, why did you buy so much cloth, Xiaolian?" Aunt Chunhua saw Fang Yumin put three rolls on her back, and took a big bag of ninja in her hand. I kept asking: "The weather is starting to get hot, why buy so much cloth?"

"No, this bag is full of rags, I got them from the cloth store." Fang Yumin explained with a smile, seeing her empty hands as if she hadn't bought anything, she hurriedly said, "Aunt Chunhua, let's go buy pork together later. "

"Okay, I'm just waiting to see if it will be sold cheaper later. It's all eaten by myself, and I don't need to buy the best part. As long as there is fat meat."

"Aunt Chunhua really knows how to plan, and I think so too, haha."

"It's not easy to make money. You see, I sold a load of baskets. After traveling so far, I wove until my fingers became thick, and I sold them for less than 100 yuan. Sigh."

"Yes, yes." Fang Yumin also echoed, sighing secretly, it is really difficult to be a farmer.

Vegetable oil is also sold in grocery stores, but the color and taste are not comparable to modern ones.Because people here like to eat lard, it would be nice to eat it without meat, so this vegetable oil is not expensive, and it only sells for 6 yuan per catty.Fang Yumin originally planned to try to extract soybean oil or vegetable oil by herself, but now there is no such condition.She is the only girl in the family, so if you really want to press the oil, you really need a strong laborer, let's talk about it later.So Fang Yumin bought five catties of vegetable oil, and then bought salt, sweet and sour wine one after another.

Thinking of Xiao Ming saying that soy sauce is expensive, Fang Yumin even asked the boss the price, and it was really expensive!A small can costs 20 Wen.These soybeans are cheap, only 20 renminbi for 10 catties, how about trying to make soy sauce yourself?
When thinking of soybeans, naturally think of tofu and soy milk, Fang Yumin quickly asked: "Aunt Chunhua, I want a stone mill, do you know where I can buy it?"

"If you want to build a stone mill, just tell the rich uncle in the village. Why do you want a stone mill?"

"I want to grind some soy milk for Xiao Ming every day. There is no milk at home, and there are not many eggs. Xiao Ming is five years old and still so thin. I am really afraid that he will not grow taller."

"That's right, Xiao Ming is a little thinner. Okay, I'll help you talk to Uncle Fu tomorrow."

"Thank you so much, Aunt Chunhua. Let's go and buy pork. It's getting late and we have to catch your uncle's ox cart. Otherwise, how can we go back with so many things?" Fang Yumin looked up at the sky, this is just a habit Sexual movements, in fact, she can't tell what time it is.

"No hurry, no rush, it's still early." Aunt Chunhua comforted, she also bought seasoning, hesitated a bit when she saw the soy sauce, gritted her teeth and bought a small jar.

"Let me put your soy sauce and oil here." Aunt Chunhua saw that Fang Yumin's bamboo basket couldn't fit so many things, so she took the initiative to help her put all the things in her basket.

"Thank you, Aunt Chunhua." Fang Yumin smiled, she was so happy to meet a good person in this ancient time.Although this is the blessing of Fang Xiaolian's kindness.

"Why are you being polite?" Aunt Chunhua looked at Fang Yumin, who was smiling brightly, and sighed, "It's so good now, stop thinking about it, think about Xiao Ming, think about Qiu Lai, the family supports each other, Have a good day."

"Uh? Oh. Yes, yes." Aunt Chunhua suddenly said this, Fang Yumin blinked and didn't respond for a moment, but she could feel Aunt Chunhua's kindness, so she agreed with a smile.
