otherworldly happiness

I went out and went to the leather goods store I had inquired about in the cloth store a long time ago. This store is called Changji Leather Goods Store. There are stores in many cities in the Chu Dynasty. The business has been exported to other countries. It is a time-honored brand. The price is relatively fair. I heard that the background is quite deep, no one dares to make trouble, and I have never heard of any shop bullying customers. This shop has its own unique craft of tanning leather, and the leather boots and leather clothes it makes are also high-quality and cheap. It is very popular. As soon as you enter the door, you can see that the store is quite big. It has three bays and the door is completely opened. On one side are all kinds of shoes and boots, and on the other side are ready-made clothes and leather jackets. There are some tanned goods on the middle table. All kinds of furs, there are quite a lot of people coming and going, and the waiters are also busy, so they went directly to the counter and asked, "Excuse me, shopkeeper, can you accept furs here?"

A middle-aged man in his 40s, who was doing the accounting, looked up at the package Li Jian was carrying and said directly: "It's accepted, it's accepted, come here and let me see what kind of leather, we all judge the price based on quality. Don't worry, you will never be fooled by the old and the old." Then he took Li Jian to a screen in the back, where the counter was very close, and there was a big table inside, and an old man was checking the leather inside.

"Mr. Zhang, show this little friend the skin. I'll go to the front first." The shopkeeper looked at the old man and nodded before going to work.

"Take out your fur first and have a look," he said, putting the fur on the table aside, and Li Jian put the package on the table and opened it.

After waiting for a while, I saw that Mr. Zhang was slowly checking each piece of leather goods. After reading it, he said to Li Jian: "It seems that these leather goods are not processed by one family. Some of them were damaged during processing. The price will be lower." , this wolf fur is not bad, it looks like it was made in winter, the quality of the fur is very good, I can give you 150 taels, and the other deer skins cost 80 taels, this is two pieces, other prices are lower, a total of 420 taels, you What do you think?"

After hearing the price, Li Jian couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't expect the price difference to be so large, and now he is rich again.This wolf skin was exchanged by myself with a pair of bows and arrows. It didn’t cost much, and the other party was very happy. I was afraid that I would go back on my word. Thinking about it, these are usually affordable by rich people, and they don’t care about it. The money is gone, and now there is no artificial breeding, it all depends on hunting, and even those who have a little more money will buy it. This is necessary to keep out the cold in winter, unlike modern times where down jackets are used for heating, and there is no such thing as a leather jacket. Yes, you can't go out here in winter with only cotton-padded clothes, even if you prepare a piece of rabbit skin and sheepskin.

After ordering the leather for sale, I bought Wu You two pairs of thick leather boots for going out, two pairs of thin cotton shoes for indoors, and added a sheepskin jacket. Now the price is the best of the year, and now I am going to send a batch of goods to the capital, and I will never let you suffer.

I asked the shopkeeper about the general prices of other leathers, and I knew it well. I went out amidst the warm greetings from the shopkeeper.

When I came out from Changji, I saw that it was getting late, so I went back to the inn. I didn’t mention eating and resting in the evening. The two of them got up at dawn the next day, set up the carriage, packed up and prepared to go back. On the way, we had to go to the vegetable market to go to the grain and oil store Those who buy rice noodles, poultry meat and eggs should also be bought well. Li Jian doesn’t want to tell others about the space. This matter is to test the relationship between the two parties. The more people who know about it, the greater the chance of leaking it. It's better to rot in your own stomach.

When the two of them packed up, the carriage would be full, and Wu You didn't want to sit in it, so he stayed outside with Li Jian in a thick padded jacket, looking at the busy street scene in a daze, Li Jian carefully drove the carriage , and asked him: "What's the matter? Tell me something, don't hold it back."

Wu You was taken aback and smiled at Li Jian: "It's nothing, I just feel like I'm still worrying about how to live in winter, this time I can take such a carload of things home, I'm just a little emotional."

"Hey, I thought there was something wrong. Now let's take care of our bodies first. We will get better and have more things in the future. Now I feel sorry for you to rent a house with me. In the future, we will have money. Now, you can live in any kind of house you want, okay?"

Seeing Li Jian gently coaxing himself, what is there to be dissatisfied with? I always think about what I did in the past, and I should think more about my future life.

"Don't forget to buy some rice and noodles. Didn't you say that it's inconvenient to buy things when we go back? You can't go home without food, right? You have to cook by yourself, so you might as well buy everything."

"Okay, don't worry, let's go to the market now, anyway, there is still space in the carriage," Li Jian said as he took out the leather jacket and put it on Wu You "If you don't want to be in it, then wear another one." , don’t freeze if you are not in good health, I know it well, don’t worry.”After adding some clothes to Wu You, he went to the market.

The market here is on a small street, which is considered to be a relatively large one in Changcheng. Seeing that there were many people and it was inconvenient for carriages to enter, I found a wonton shop outside the market and stopped. I gave the boss some copper coins to use as horses. For the fodder money, let the horses be tied to the stone trough at the door. Seeing the horses eating the fodder leisurely, they just ignored it, and settled Wu You in the shop, sat down at the table near the door, and ordered a bowl Chaos, reminded, 'Eat something warm and don't freeze it, and look at the things in the carriage by the way', so he hurried in to buy something.

I went inside and saw that the grain and oil store was crowded, so I went in. Now that I had money for furs, I bought a lot of rice and noodles. Now that I had vegetable oil, I bought two cans of soybean oil. I also bought some miscellaneous grains such as red beans, sesame, peanuts, etc., mainly to make a look so that they can be replaced with those produced in space. After all, they can’t be transformed out of thin air in front of Wu You. Seeing that there are still millets that are good, I bought a lot more Some, in the past, confinement in my hometown used red dates and millet porridge with eggs, um, it should be quite nutritious.

After I finished shopping, I couldn’t take the things anymore. The shopkeeper asked the assistant to help transport them to the side of the carriage and help them pack them up. Then I went to the dry goods store and bought dried goods of jujube and walnuts for Wu You’s snacks. I also saw I also bought some persimmon cakes and pastries, and the sugar must not be missed. Although there is not such a good white sugar, the brown sugar is also good.

In the early morning, there were not many people in the wonton shop. It was past lunch time, and it was not yet noon. Watching Li Jian carry things back again and again, he didn’t forget to bring in the cakes he bought for Wu You Don’t wait for him to eat something, the owner’s husband, who was chatting with Yaoyao in the next shop, couldn’t help but said sourly: “At first glance, this little brother is just married. You see, the young couple is sticky. Yes, it won’t work even if you can’t see it for a while, and it’s strange that it hurts people, and you have to help them in when you walk.”

An old man next to him laughed and scolded: "Who didn't come here from that time? It's no wonder you weren't so sticky back then. Why do you think your man isn't getting close to you now?"

"That's right, you're a notoriously hot guy, how can your family not listen to you?"

"That's right, hey"

Hearing the ridicule of the people around him, Wu You's face turned red, if it wasn't for going out to help, she would have run out.

This busy morning is almost over. When Li Jian brings back a big chicken coop, the purchase will be over. Looking at the pork, ribs, and big bones in the basket on the carriage, Wu You feels a little distressed to spend money Now, before I could say anything else, I heard Li Jian say that there was a pork belly in it, and stewed pork belly and chicken soup for Wu You at night. Adding some medicinal materials would be very nourishing, and he also said that the big bone stewed soup was good for his legs. Wait, how can you say that he is wasteful? When Li Jian rests, he will eat a bowl of Chaos and pay the bill, and the two of them will go home again.

When I returned to Qingshan Village at the foot of the Qingshan Mountain in the afternoon, it was the slack time for farming. Every family was busy preparing things for the winter. The men were all busy cutting firewood and burning charcoal. Pickled cabbage was not idle, and when he arrived at the door of the rented house, he looked at the copper lock on the door, and Li Jian helped Wu You down: "This is the house I've found, you wait on the side first, I will open the door and turn it on." Drive in the carriage."

When the carriage was driven into the courtyard, Wu You also came in and closed the door, "Take a look at the house first, I'll unload the car first, it's not easy to tell me about it, I'll clean it up later, can you help the village head?" I cleaned and tidied up,"

"You go to work first. The green brick and tile house is good enough. I can't help you and waste your time. By the way, do you have firewood at home? You take out the pot first, and I will heat the stove first. It’s so hot to go to the kang to get rid of the tide, and it’s easy to wash things with hot water for a while, and I can help you light the fire.”Wu You was supported to sit on the chair, and said lonely.

Seeing Wu You's self-reproach, Li Jian hurriedly said: "Okay, then you can help me light the fire. I won't be able to sleep at night if I don't go to the tide this time. After all, there have been no fireworks in this house for many days. Don't worry about the firewood." , I asked the village head’s family to help me buy it. It should be in the firewood house. Many people here will sell firewood and charcoal in Dongjin City. It’s not expensive and just burn it casually. , I’ll go and bring the firewood, and then the pot.”

After the pot was brushed and filled with water for Wu You to watch the fire, Li Jian went to work, put the big vats, pots, dishes, chopsticks aside for brushing later, and put the clothes and bedding on the Kang in the bedroom first, and sorted them into the Kang cabinet later. In the kitchen, put the oil, salt and rice noodles in the kitchen. When the few small vats that have been painted tomorrow are dry, I will get my own rice vat noodles, but make sure it is full, I am afraid that Wu You will feel at ease when he looks at it, so put it in it It is also moisture-proof, and it is not afraid of rats when it is covered.

When Wu You shouted that the water was boiling, he hurriedly scooped out the hot water and put it in the basin, refilled the water and continued to boil. Wu You wanted to help wash the dishes, but it was useless to him. Let's continue to burn the fire, watching Wu You with a stern face. Sullen, Li Jian didn't dare to continue teasing him, but it seemed that he would get angry with him, and it seemed that he was more and more relaxed in his heart, which was a good thing.

Put away everything that needs to be tidied up, and the horses are also unloaded and are grazing in the barn. Wu You has been resting on the hot kang for a long time. Just call Li Jian to come over for a break, drink some hot water, and clean up the rest tomorrow, there is nothing urgent anyway.

Sitting on the warm kang and drinking hot water, I feel at ease. I have finally settled down here after more than a year, mainly because there are people waiting for me at home.Seeing that it was getting late, I thought about what to eat at night: "Is there anything you want to eat at night? You didn't eat a bowl of Chaos at noon, maybe you are hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. I ate a lot of pastries. Feel free to eat something at night. It doesn't need to be too much trouble. There is no food at home. You have been busy all day. You are tired enough. You should rest more."

"I don't buy too many vegetables at home. Last time I came to look for a house, I found out that dried cabbage and radishes can be bought in the village, which saves the need to transport them back and forth. I will go around the village tomorrow and bring them with dry firewood for the winter. The charcoal is all ready, don't worry, I'm planning to go to Changcheng in two days, I'll just buy whatever is missing," Li Jian said to Wu You while drinking hot water.

"I'll show you off tonight, so prepare your stomach and wait to eat. I'll cook it first and then I won't be late." After finishing speaking, he went to the kitchen to get busy
