Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Li Haitang thought that the shop in Waihai would be crowded with people and noisy, but when she actually walked in, she found that it was far different from what she thought.

The man-made landscape in the shop is very beautiful, and there are tables, chairs, benches and other places for leisure tea tasting, with teapots, tea bowls, fruit plates and other items placed on them.

If you calm down and look carefully, you can notice the difference.

The fruit plate is made of metal. There is a small pillar at the bottom, which holds the plate very high. The edge of the plate is my flower pattern, and the middle is hollow, filled with green ~ dripping purple grapes and several fruits.

In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the grapes are already ripe, with rich juice. They are covered with a light layer of ash and small water droplets, as if they have just been washed. It makes people want to pick a few grapes and stuff them into their mouths to taste the taste.

The teapots and teacups have gilded patterns on them, which are simple and elegant. Even the tables and chairs are designed with curvature and high backrests.

Xiao Lingchuan observed his wife and saw that she did not show a particularly strange expression, so he knew that she was well-informed. Compared with the things in the sky that could fly and carry people, these were nothing.

"Husband, this shop is very strange. There are neither waiters nor customers."

There is a display stand in front, and there are music boxes and other items in the front, and upstairs there are beds and other items, and almost everything except tables and chairs, only one item is left.

"right."

Xiao Lingchuan explained to his wife that the shop may have been in the same state for a year or two, with no customers.

When the ship goes to the open sea, there are only a limited number of things that can be transported back. Every time it is delivered to Kyoto, before it can be put into the shop, it is targeted by wealthy merchants. Everything they buy is robbed, as if they are free of money.

Not long ago, a ship from the open sea arrived in Beijing, and everything was sold out in about three days.

There are rules in the shop. One piece of each item is usually kept as a display item and will not be sold.

Unfortunately, items from overseas are too expensive and not everyone can grab them. Therefore, merchants from Daqi also come to grab items, copy them, and then sell them.

But no matter how good the counterfeit is, it can never be as good as the original version that has flown across the sea, and the fake can never be as real as the original.

"Madam, there is wine brought from the sea in the shop. The alcohol content is extremely high. There was no reaction after drinking it at first. After a while, I passed out drunk."

When Xiao Lingchuan talked about this kind of wine, he himself once drank it until he became confused.

The stool was too high for Xiao Beanbao to climb up. Li Haitang held him in his arms and sat on the chair. Li Haitang brought him a music box to play with. Listening to the ding-dong-ding-dong, the sound of music like flowing water made people's hearts float. In the irritable summer, there is a sense of tranquility.

Although Daqi is not complacent, it is far away from the open sea. There are many external factors such as the level of sailing and the maritime climate and conditions. It is not easy to go to the open sea.

At present, several powerful and large merchants are secretly building ships, and they want to go overseas to purchase goods, resell them at a sky-high price, and get a share of the pie.

But the truth is cruel. Every year, countless people never come back. Even the business of shop owners is not so guaranteed.

Li Haitang walked around upstairs and downstairs again. Based on these objects, he speculated on the conditions outside the sea and found that their level was not much better than that of Daqi.

But Li Haitang was very interested in books from overseas. She saw a book similar to the Bible, as well as pianos and other objects.

"Sir, I don't know when the store can go to the sea. I want some books on medical skills."

It would be best to exchange a batch of medicinal materials from overseas to facilitate her research.

Although Li Haitang is preparing for the restaurant business, her old profession is still medicine.

"Okay, I remember."

Xiao Lingchuan calculated the time and saw that there were still a few days before the crew came back. He originally planned to leave early so as to return before winter.

However, this trip was extremely dangerous, and no one knew whether they could come back alive. Therefore, everyone decided to stay at home and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together before leaving.

Li Haitang suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart. A trip to the Life and Death Escort might not mean death. Even if he died, he would still be able to leave his body intact. However, if he encountered danger while walking on the sea and no one could rescue him, then he would probably die.

The couple took the bean buns and sat at a shop in Waihai all afternoon, waiting for the sun to turn west before starting to walk back.

"Madam, Kyoto is really nice, but the things are so expensive that I can't afford them."

Wu Fu looked at the carriage for a while and went out for a walk. She walked in by herself, but the clerk ignored her.

Wufu was used to being a snobbery, so she didn't buy anything anyway, so she just went to take a look. Remembering that she heard about Yaohua Zhai's powder, she lingered in the shop for a long time.

A box of the most common fragrant powder costs five taels of silver.

"Madam, look at me, have I changed?"

Wufu was reluctant to part with money, but Grandma Yu said that if she was reluctant to give up her children, she would not be able to trap the wolf, and she could eat. If she could not find a good husband in the future, she would have to start with her appearance.

So, she gritted her teeth, hesitated for half an hour, and finally took out her private money tremblingly and bought a box of powder.

Before the host and his wife came out, Wufu opened the lid of the box and gently swept it on. He felt very happy at this moment.

"What changes?"

Li Haitang opened the car window and stuck his head out, not understanding what his maid meant.

"Look at me carefully."

Wu Fu raised his chest and raised his head. For such an expensive perfume, the store clerk said that after applying it, it would look so bright that people passing by would look at it more.

She had the illusion that after applying it, she became more beautiful.

"It seems, tanned?"

Li Haitang looked Wufu up and down and finally came to a conclusion. The sun in Kyoto is hotter than in the north. If you don't take some protection, your delicate skin will be burned.

Wufu: ... She thought it was an illusion that she became beautiful, but it turned out that it was really an illusion!

"Five blessings, I see you are unhappy, but did it happen?"

Li Haitang thought that Wufu was being looked down upon and made difficult by the snobs again for wandering on the street. The purpose of opening a business is to make money. If you only want to see and buy, you will certainly not be popular.

But she paid great attention to this point. In order to prevent those who looked down upon others, Li Haitang bought a lot of good materials and even made several new sets of clothes for the servants. They were no worse than the maids of wealthy families.

"Madam, look at my face. I used five taels of powder on my face, but you didn't even notice..."

Wufu feels aggrieved. Now her salary has increased. She gets two taels of silver a month. Five taels is not a small amount for her. Could it be that she was deceived?

"That's it..."

Li Haitang couldn't laugh or cry. Everyone has a love for beauty. Although he usually doesn't care about the five blessings, he starts to pay attention to it now. Could it be that he has a scholar he likes?

"Madam, please don't scare me." He didn't look for anyone but the scholar. It was too scary. Wufu shook his head. If they disagreed, he tore him into pieces without throwing them in one place. Wufu hated the scholar. , has been upgraded to a new level.
