A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Chapter 24 What I’m most afraid of is the sudden silence of the air

In her last life, she traveled abroad, and almost every tourist destination had a food street.

What about Changsha stinky tofu? The chairman even tasted it and found it delicious.

What kind of Brazilian barbecue, every bite of meat is loved.

The Xinjiang mutton skewers make the fresh taste dance on the tongue.

And milk tea, you love me and I love you, let’s be sweet together.

Selling milk tea is quite fast. You just buy the powder in the bracelet and brew it. But people in ancient times have never seen those colorful ones. If you get too advanced, you will be caught as a monster.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Changsheng decided to go on an on-site inspection first.

She walked along the market and observed all the way. It was just like in the TV series. There were bun stalls, noodle stalls and other breakfast stalls along the road, as well as those selling candied haws and candy figures. They were basically just for food, and there were no drinks. .

Chen Changsheng bought six candied haws, and promised Sanshou and Sixi to bring them snacks before going out. Chen Changsheng kept his promise.

She entered a restaurant again, and the waiter greeted her warmly and asked Chen Changsheng what he wanted to eat. He did not dislike her because she was dressed plainly and simply.

Chen Changsheng briefly glanced at the menu on the counter. There were common vegetarian dishes such as stir-fried cabbage, shredded potatoes, stir-fried cowpeas and roasted winter melon. The meat dishes included stir-fried pork slices, roasted pork knuckles, braised lion head, roasted chicken, roasted duck and roasted winter melon. Fish and so on.

The drinks include rice wine, white wine, and tea. There are more customers ordering tea, mainly because it is cheap.

The staple food includes steamed buns, noodles, dumplings, porridge and rice, as well as some pastries.

Chen Changsheng looked around and found that they were basically similar to the modern large categories, but they lacked details and had no special features.

She asked the waiter if there were any cold appetizers in the store. The waiter scratched his head and couldn't tell. He didn't know what the cold dishes were.

Chen Changsheng probably understood. It was not popular to eat cold dishes at the moment.

After thinking about it in her mind, she made an excuse to ask for a drink instead of ordering food. The waiter didn't mind and brought a bowl of water.

After drinking the water, Chen Changsheng left the restaurant and went straight to Liang Ji Grain Store. In addition to rice and noodles, the store also sold some miscellaneous grains, including black beans and soybeans.

Soybeans cost ten cents a pound, which is more expensive than brown rice and cheaper than white rice. Chen Changsheng first bought a pound to try his hand.

With more than ten taels of silver in her hand, she went to the cloth store again. The store sold both fabrics and ready-made clothes. Chen Changsheng didn't know how to make clothes, so he just looked at the ready-made clothes.

The finished product area is filled with fine silk and satin, a purple one with dark blue edges and embossed craftsmanship, and the neckline and cuffs are exquisitely designed. Well, it suits me very well now.

Chen Changsheng couldn't help but touch it with her hands. It was really silky smooth. She asked the cloth shop owner how much it cost and wanted to buy one.

"Your Majesty, you have a good eye. This is a new product in our store. It is most suitable for a thirty-year-old woman. The fabric material is also first-class and the price is twenty taels." The boss introduced with a smile on his face.

Twenty taels!

Damn it! It's so expensive, it's a money grab.

All her possessions now may only be enough to buy two sleeves.

Chen Changsheng put down the clothes in embarrassment and turned to ask the boss if there were any cheaper ones. The boss welcomed the customers as soon as he opened the door. He didn't mind that Chen Changsheng couldn't afford expensive clothes and enthusiastically led Chen Changsheng to another area.

There are some dark and light clothes hanging here. The material feels like cotton. Only the cuffs and collars are designed with some simple styles and the craftsmanship is simple.

The boss looked at Chen Changsheng with a smile and said, "Sir, these are cheaper, only two taels of silver per set."

Chen Changsheng's face was covered with black lines.

Two taels of silver isn't cheap. Doesn't she look like a rich person?

Chen Changsheng coughed unnaturally, "Let's look at some cheaper ones, focusing on practicality."

The boss then led her to an area in the corner of the store. The clothes in this area were the cheapest at first glance. They were simple in design, or even without design. They felt like linen and kebab materials.

"Guest, these are the most affordable clothes in our store. They are simple and elegant, and mainly practical. The price is 250 yuan a set. Are you satisfied?" The boss always had a smile on his face.

Two hundred and five.

Chen Changsheng felt like he was scolding her.

She made a selection in this area, and finally selected three sets of dark brown men's clothes, one set of light pink clothes for little girls, and bought herself a set of dark-colored adult clothes for women.

There are five sets of clothes in total, all of which are the cheapest, costing one tael of silver plus two hundred and fifty Wen.

Chen Changsheng bought a lot at one time, and she struggled with the boss for a long time. The boss was only willing to give up a profit of thirty cents at most, which was far from Chen Changsheng's expectation of buying five sets for one tael of silver.

Finally, they settled on one tael of silver and two hundred and twenty Wen, and Chen Changsheng forced the boss to send a few rags and a piece of linen.

It would also be good to take these scraps of rags back and make some linings. Chen Changsheng had other uses for the linen cloth.

After buying it, Chen Changsheng raised his hand and looked at the bracelet. It was already three-thirty in the afternoon. He rushed home with his things on his back. He didn't know what the situation was like at home.

It is said that shopping makes people feel good. Perhaps today they did a lot of shopping and negotiated a business deal. Chen Changsheng walked quickly and arrived at Chenjiacun before five o'clock.

The first house at the east entrance of the village is the old house of the Chen family.

Chen Changsheng stepped into the old house for the first time. The men in the old house were still working in the fields, and the children were drying wild vegetables. They were dried and stored longer so that they could be eaten until winter and next year.

Mrs. Chen Liu from the second room was still preparing dinner, Mrs. Chen Cui from the third room was watering the ground in the courtyard again, and Mrs. Chen was sitting on a small stool and busy weaving rattan baskets.

As soon as Chen Changsheng entered the courtyard, several people in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and raised their heads. The children who were chattering and playing just now also became quiet.

Since the big house separated and moved out, the original owner hasn't been to the old house for a long, long time.

Chen Changsheng wanted to sing, "What I fear most is that the air will suddenly become quiet."

After a while, it was Mrs. Chen who spoke first, "The eldest daughter-in-law is here, but what's the matter?"

Chen Changsheng immediately took over the words, took out two candied haws on a stick from the basket on his back and said, "I went to the city during the day to catch the market. I saw a man selling candied haws on a stick, so I bought two and brought them back for my children to try."

When the children in the second and third bedrooms heard the word "candied haws of apples", they all gathered together to look at this strange aunt in secret.

Old Mrs. Chen frowned and complained, "I made a lot of money when I went to the market, but I don't know how to save it and buy sugar-coated haws. It's a waste of that money. Oops, I really don't know how to live."

The air suddenly became quiet again. Listening to Mrs. Chen's chatter, Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Chen Liu immediately got down from the stove and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, my sister-in-law is also thinking about her nephews and nieces. She is so kind, how can she say it is a waste?"

Mrs. Chen's stiff face relaxed, and she signaled Mrs. Chen Liu to take the candied haws and give a portion to several children. The children ate it with smiles, and the atmosphere in the yard became lively again.

"What's the matter with your eldest daughter-in-law's visit today?" Mrs. Chen sat back on the small stool and was busy knitting.
