Full of food and color

Chapter 186 Make up your mind
In the afternoon, Baozhu and Xiaojiu came back from shopping in the two markets. As soon as they turned into the alley, they saw a straight blue figure standing at the entrance of the alley, and their eyes stayed on the wooden barrel in his hand for a moment. Turning around, narrowing her eyes with a smile, Bao Zhu stepped forward with a light smile, "Why is it so early in the afternoon?"

He shook the wooden barrel in his hand lightly, "It rained heavily yesterday, and there were many patients in the hospital, so I didn't come to see you. I had some free time at noon, and I just brought some ginger soup." Looking at Uncle Baozhu, "Everyone Drink some to warm up, guys."

Baozhu took the small wooden barrel from him, and dragged him into the shop, "Don't rush back, let's drink together before leaving." He nodded with a smile, entered the shop, and only then did he chat with Liangdong and Tang Bao. After saying hello, Chen Cuixi enthusiastically urged him to sit down, and asked him about the recent situation of the clinic with a smile.

Usually when he came, Chen Cuixi was usually indifferent and not very close, but this time she smiled cheerfully. As she spoke, she took the wooden bucket from Baozhu and praised Wei Sipei for being considerate and considerate. Wei Sipei couldn't help but look at her in surprise At one glance, she sighed with a smile, and entered the kitchen room, and a voice of emotion came from behind the curtain, "They are all good children, and they will be my family from now on, and Baozhu and I often come to the aunt's house to see her." .”

Wei Sipei didn't know what Chen Cuixi was thinking, but felt that her attitude towards him was much warmer than before, and even though he couldn't guess the reason, he was still very happy, so he answered her simply, and said with a smile: "Baozhu's relatives are My relatives, of course, must be filial."

Wang Fulai stepped forward with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "My boy, I heard that your medical clinic business is getting better and better. There are always rumors about you in the streets and alleys. The common people always praise you for your excellent medical skills. It's only been a few months? Good job." of!"

Baozhu curled her lips, "The business is doing well, but I haven't made much money. Can the common people praise him, he is the kindest in all the medical clinics in the city, and he often waives the money for medicine."

Wei Sipei looked at her with a smile, and she was allowed to make jokes at will, and was not angry, but Wang Fulai waved his hand to stop Baozhu, "Sipei is thinking about hanging the pot to help the world, unlike us, he only cares about curing diseases and saving people every day, accumulating merits and virtues. "

Wei Sipei chuckled, "I don't dare to hang the pot to help the world, the only thing I can do is to let the people in the county see a cheap disease."

Liangdong came out with a tray, each of them handed a bowl of ginger soup to drink, and answered with a smile: "I see it is good, Sipei's earning is not as much as that of Baozhu, but he is doing good deeds. From now on, you two We got married and supported each other, we can use the money earned from Baozhu’s business to heal and save people, and the cured patients at Sipei can often visit Baozhu’s shop, it’s the best of both worlds.”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately laughed, Tang Bao chuckled, "Brother Sipei is very skilled in medicine, and ordinary diseases are not a problem. When the weather is cold and hot, you can have a bowl of coix seed and mung bean porridge at any time. Or Chuanbei loquat soup, or..." He was joking while taking advantage of the joy of the crowd, and he couldn't help laughing while he was talking. Amidst the laughter, Liang Dong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Interesting, In the future, our shop can also make some medicinal food, and open up a menu to sell it!" Glancing at Baozhu, he asked seriously: "Sister, do you think it's good?"

Baozhu smiled and shook her head, "I thought about this before, but I just gave up after thinking about it. If I really did it in a shop, it would be a waste of such a good idea. Think about it, a health care shop is not like a fast food restaurant or a dim sum shop." In this way, food and clothing are closely related. How can ordinary people in the county have spare money to maintain their health? It is a good day to eat, drink, and wear warm clothes. It is not worth spending an extra few tens of pennies. Very few people. At that time, I planned to open a small shop like Chen Ji Yang Sheng Tang, but I was only worried that there was not much business in the county. It would be different in the provincial capital, where the population is dense, rich, and there are many officials and wealthy households. , it would be perfect for the Yangshengtang to open in the provincial capital."

Liang Dong listened and nodded, and when she finished speaking, he agreed with his face, "In matters of business, it's often what the girl says makes sense, and the living standard in the county is worse than that in the provincial capital."

After chatting for a while, Wei Sipei glanced at the sun and said goodbye with a smile, "It's time for me to go back to work."

Wang Fulai nodded and looked at the crowded hall, "I'll talk about it when I come another day, the shop should be busy right now."

Baozhu sent him out, and said with a smile: "Mother is here today, and she will buy a house for us in the county."

His happiness was clearly written on his face, Baozhu saw that he was only smiling happily, but did not speak, she blinked and said, "Brother Si Pei is not happy? What are you thinking?"

He shook his head, smiled lightly and said: "For some reason, I suddenly remembered that time when I came back to the county to see you. That year you just came to the county to open a shop. When I was a child, I saw you every day without realizing it. When you go, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much." He pursed his lips and recalled: "We were chatting in the yard at night, and you said that you were afraid that you would settle down in the county. That time, when I went back, I felt really uncomfortable for a long time. He paused for a moment, then sighed, "Many years have passed in a flash, and now I have come to the county. Originally, you were supposed to marry your cousin, but we are still together in the end. Do you think it is a deep fate?" "

Baozhu raised her head, the two looked at each other and smiled, many words were kept silent.

The house that Mrs. Wu and Li was looking for was in the west of the city. Mrs. Wang originally thought that the house she bought for her baby would be at least bigger than her aunt's yard, and the layout was always different.The door facing north, three rows of houses in the southeast and west, the main house in the south, the guest room in the west, the stove house in the east, the cowshed, the chicken coop, and the small vegetable field, surrounded by a small square yard in the middle.

This kind of layout is the most common. Except for some wealthy households in the village who have several yards like the Wu Mansion, most ordinary people have such a square layout.

The house that Mrs. Wu and Li found was strange, with a total of eight rooms, which was the same as Cuixi's house. What made her happy was that although the house was not big, it was also a courtyard with two entrances.

The ground is paved with blue bricks, and the walls are covered with white tiles. Entering the gate is a slightly smaller square yard. There are two rows of houses on the east and west, and a few willow trees are planted next to the courtyard wall. Stone tables and chairs, and the toilet in the corner are also made of green bricks.

"The two rooms on the east side are used as guest rooms, the first room with a chimney on the west side is the kitchen room, and the second room is about the residence of the servants. There is a well in the corner, so you don't have to go far to fetch water, which is very convenient. Although the outer courtyard is simpler, it is also The arrangements are thorough..." Mrs. Wu and Li explained the purpose of each room, while pulling Mrs. Wang to the inner courtyard.

The circular arch leads directly to the inner courtyard. When entering the inner courtyard, the first thing that comes into view is a rectangular pool. The yard is not big, but the pool is in the center, with some white plums planted neatly on both sides, and a stone arch bridge in the center leads directly to the main house. .

Mrs. Wu Li said with a smile: "Look at the layout, I don't need to go into the house to see. There is a large wing room directly connected to the left side of the main hall, and two separate rooms are opened on the right side. It can be used as a study room. If there are many children in the room, It is also enough to live in."

"There are four rooms in the inner courtyard, plus four rooms outside, making a total of eight rooms." She added.

Mrs. Wang nodded in response to her, not in a hurry to go into the house to have a look, first go down to look around the inner courtyard, the inner courtyard is twice as large as the outer courtyard, and in front of the main house is a corridor with white tiles and red pillars, because the courtyard is not big, the corridor is not It's not spacious, it can only accommodate two and a half people standing side by side, but even so, the carved pillars are extremely exquisite, matching the pond and arch bridge in the courtyard, it is indescribably harmonious.The corridor extends at both ends and surrounds the entire courtyard until two pavilions are cleverly built at the arch.

Mrs. Wang was amazed when she saw it, she only felt the style of Wu's mansion, but she didn't expect such a small courtyard to have some special features.

Wu Li said with a smile, "Uncle said yes, it's good to think about it, but I didn't expect to see it in person, it's better than expected in my heart, it's really a surprise. What do you think?"

Wang said regretfully: "This is an eye-opener. The house is excellent, but there are fewer rooms. Except that the yard is bigger than Cuixi's, the eight rooms may not be as spacious as Cuixi's house."

Mrs. Wu and Li waved her hands with a smile, "Dear family, don't underestimate this courtyard. This courtyard was specially invited by craftsmen from the south to imitate the style of the garden in the south. Look at the porch, pavilion, and arches. It’s not good, after looking at this house, I just feel that my house is a bit rough.” After a pause, he persuaded: “Besides, 60 taels of silver is really not expensive, the house is a brand new one, and the original owner originally prepared it. Old man, who would have passed away in such a hurry, I didn't have time to take a look at it, it's a pity for such a good house."

Mrs. Wu answered with a smile, "It would be a pity if my mother doesn't buy it. If my mother doesn't buy this house today, someone will buy it tomorrow. Let alone my mother, my eyes are envious!"

Mrs. Wang chuckled, and was not in a hurry to express her opinion. She went to look at the houses one by one. She was very satisfied with the house in her heart. She had to admit that although the house was smaller than Cuixi House, the construction technology was far superior to hers. A house, let alone a newly built house, every wall and tile is brand new.

Mrs. Wang couldn't make up her mind for a while, thinking that 60 taels should buy a bigger room, and at the same time feeling that it would be a pity not to buy such a good courtyard.Remembering what Baozhu said before leaving, the house doesn't need to be too big, no matter how much money you make in the future, you can always change it.After weighing it up and down, I was still a little hesitant and suddenly settled down, and secretly thought of buying it.

After making up his mind, he immediately laughed, "I have to trouble my in-laws to come out and talk about the price."

Because the owner of this house is somewhat distantly related to Wu Li's sister-in-law, the Li family originally bought it on purpose, but because the house was a little smaller than his house, they gave up. Mrs. Li is now looking around for the house, and the Li family sees that Mrs. Wang is also their own family, so they immediately introduce this house.

"The in-laws are at ease, and there is nothing to say, so naturally let him play around." Seeing that Wang had made up his mind, Mrs. Wu and Li felt at ease, and sighed, "There are not many such good houses in the county."
