Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

You can no longer take a penny from their brothers, otherwise it will be even more confusing in the future.

Today, the weather outside is clear and clear, and I feel a little itchy when I look at it. Pan Jinlian tidied up the seams under the bed, washed her hands and changed into a light yellow floral jacket, ocher checkered belly, and a light blue floral skirt on a white ground. Wearing a pine flower belt, she carried a basket and an oil-paper umbrella and went out leisurely.The Wang Po next door is busy, but the sister-in-law Liu on the opposite side has already had lunch and is embroidering lace by the door and taking a nap.

Pan Jinlian smiled and patted her shoulder lightly:

"Sister-in-law Liu, are you going out?"

"Ah? Oh, it's you, what are you going out for at noon?"

Sister-in-law Liu straightened up in a jerk, rubbed her eyes, feeling tired all over.Pan Jinlian shook the basket and umbrella in her hands, and replied with a smile:

"There are few people going out at noon, and I want someone to accompany me to go shopping. The vegetables at home are almost gone, and there are still a lot of odds and ends to buy. What's more, it's better to go out for a stroll during this good time, otherwise I will be bored. The house is going to be moldy."

Sister-in-law Liu has grown a little more courageous with Pan Jinlian now. She can open the door to bask in the sun on weekdays, but she has never gone out.Seeing that she was so upbeat, he hesitated for a moment, then saw that there were not many people walking on the street, then nodded and agreed:

"Okay, come out after I change my clothes and take the basket."

After speaking, she went back upstairs to tidy up, but she was wearing dark gray and dark blue, and covered her head with a faded black cloth. Standing next to Pan Jinlian with a basket in her hand, she looked like a mother and daughter.

Pan Jinlian knew that it was not easy for her to go out, so she deliberately didn't say anything, but slowly led her out of the alley. Yanggu County is the most prosperous place.Sister-in-law Liu quickly grabbed Pan Jinlian's arm, and the two of them dragged on for half a day before they finally came to the outside of a Linlang building. Pan Jinlian looked at the signboard, and it was the most famous restaurant in the county - Zuixianlou.

"Second brother, please come out for a moment."

Through the red lacquered curtain, Pan Jinlian called out the waiter at the door.

"The two ladies have something to do. There is an elegant seat in my store, which is neat, quiet and undisturbed. If the two ladies want to eat in the store, I will let someone take you upstairs..."

"Second brother, can I order the vegetables in your shop and deliver them to my home?"

Pan Jinlian asked with a smile and waved her hand.Xiao Er immediately nodded like a pounding garlic:

"Naturally, as long as there is no place I can't find in Yanggu County, my lady said something, we will put a box in the store and deliver it to you without leaking any food."

"Then what good food do you have here?"

Pan Jinlian was quite satisfied. It turned out that the service standard in ancient times was not bad, but it seemed that it was better than the modern food delivery service.The second brother snapped his fingers and gave them the names of the dishes:

"But there are no things that walk on the road, swim in the sea, or fly in the sky. We don't have it here. Steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, stewed salted duck, etc. Sauce chicken, bacon, pine flower, small belly, air-dried meat, sausage, assorted su pan, smoked chicken, white belly, steamed eight-treasure pig, duck stuffed with rice, canned pheasant, canned quail, stewed assorted, stewed goose, Braised shrimp..."

"Okay, okay, I see. It is indeed the largest restaurant in Yanggu County. It seems that it has some skills. Sister-in-law, what do you want to eat? Today is my sister's treat. If you want to eat, just be brave and ask for it. We have money. .”

"Well, it's expensive here. If you really want to eat, let's buy something and go back and make it?"

Sister-in-law Liu took a look at the large plaque above her head, the imposing manner, and the winding staircase surrounded by vermilion lacquer, she knew that this place was expensive, so she couldn't help but feel a little cowardly.Even if it was Pan Jinlian's money, she felt extremely sorry.Pan Jinlian, however, was determined to eat a dish made by a restaurant in the Northern Song Dynasty. Seeing that Mrs. Liu refused to order, she rolled her eyes and ordered a few dishes:

"Assorted fried tofu, fish with white rice and cattail vegetables, Yellow River carp, and rock sugar elbow flowers, and a few more of your specialty braised meat. If there are signature dishes, add two more, and they will be delivered to my home for dinner. .”

Pan Jinlian asked Xiao Er to ask someone to write down the address of her home, and then dragged Sister-in-law Liu away. In fact, she really wanted to go in and see what the restaurant looked like, but if she met someone she shouldn't, she would suffer. , and dismissed the idea.I just walked around the bustling market with Sister-in-law Liu. Both of them are women, so they naturally love the colorful jewelry and snacks in small street shops. The price was affordable, so I bought them all and carried them in a basket. After a while, I accumulated half a basket of miscellaneous things.

"The pharmacy...the original pharmacy is quite big."

The two walked to the middle of the market, and when Pan Jinlian looked up, she happened to see the word "pharmaceutical bureau" written on the plaque in the center, with a gold and black background, occupying most of the house.The pharmacy is so big, there must be a lot of stock in it, and Pan Jinlian suddenly remembered that if she rolled her eyes in a few days, she would have to make wine—of course, now her wheat drink has become ale—need Hops have to prepare themselves early.

"Sister-in-law, wait for me outside first, I'll go to the pharmacy to buy some things."

Pan Jinlian nodded to Sister-in-law Liu, and told her to wait honestly for herself in the shade at the door, then entered the pharmacy, pretended to look around, and asked the boy inside with a smile:

"Do you have hops for sale?"

"Yes, how much does the lady want?"

"Well, give me a catty first."

Suddenly remembering that the pharmacy mentioned on TV seemed to be Ximenqing's old line of business, Pan Jinlian was a little frightened, and decided to buy more at a time, enough for half a year. satyr.

The little guy in the pharmacy stared wide-eyed, a little dumbfounded, how much is the medicine paid for, and there is still an appointment by the catty?But the young man has seen the world, he didn't say anything, he just took the bag to the warehouse in the back room, packed two big bags, and handed it to Pan Jinlian with a smile:

"Miss, this is the medicinal material you want, but it is three-point poisonous, so don't just listen to the nonsense of some barefoot doctors. If it doesn't work, it will be small, and it won't matter if it delays your own life."

Maybe it will also involve our pharmacy, the boy didn't say this, but the expression on his face showed a long-haired but short-sightedness.Pan Jinlian just smiled, and didn't say much to him, but told him perfunctorily that this thing is not for eating, but for washing feet, and then she paid the money and put the thing in her basket. Walk out of the pharmacy.

She was about to go out, but she didn't expect that a person hurried in from outside and bumped into her.Pan Jinlian hurriedly supported the pillar next to her, and was about to look up, only to hear that the man stabilized his body and shouted:

"Who would dare to bump into your Uncle Ximen's head?"

Pan Jinlian's heart suddenly turned cold. Could this be the so-called arrangement of fate?She didn't dare to raise her head anymore, she just lowered her head and nodded vigorously:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the head of the house has tuberculosis, and I'm in a hurry to buy medicine to save my life, so I'm leaving now."

After speaking, he hurriedly slipped out of the gate, but he didn't even see what the famous Ximen official looked like.However, this person's voice was very loud, and he could still hear shouting and cursing from a long distance away.

"When I first entered the shop, I found bad luck for me. If I have tuberculosis, I just wait to die and come out to harm others! They are all gangsters and thieves!"

Pan Jinlian sticks out her tongue and rolls her eyes secretly, she is the well-deserved official of Ximen.On the other hand, Sister-in-law Liu wondered, pulled her along and asked:

"Who is he scolding? Just saw you bump into each other, why did you become tuberculosis?"

"Who knows, it's just that the rich and powerful have nothing to do, so they are just playing around with scolding."

Looking back, the pharmacy was gone in the distance, so Pan Jinlian dragged Sister-in-law Liu back quickly.This place turned out to be dangerous, so it would be better if there were less of them. If it wasn't for the fact that Wuhan University's mouth is not reliable, I would have thought of asking him to buy this medicinal material.

Sister-in-law Liu was also in a hurry to go back to embroider, and the two hurried back to the alley, opened the doors of their respective houses, and entered the house after saying hello.Pan Jinlian put down the basket, only to realize that her hands were covered with sweat and her back was wet. She couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, spat hard, and cursed secretly:

"Death, what a high official from Ximen, sooner or later he will die of Hualiu disease in a woman's bed!"

After cursing and scolding, Pan Jinlian felt a little relieved. Pan Jinlian poured herself a glass of water, dug out the snacks in the basket and sat on a chair to comfort her injured heart, liver and lungs.Thinking of having a meal of Song Dynasty food in the evening, the resentment gradually disappeared in my heart.

Not long after, Wu Song and Wu Da also returned home one after the other. The two brothers happened to have nothing to do in the yamen, and the cakes sold quickly, but they both came back early.Pan Jinlian did not hide it from the two of them, and told everything about Chaide, living under the same roof, and relying on Wu Songwu as our backer, it would be a bit unreasonable to hide it.

Fortunately, although Wuhan University is a seller of cooking cakes, it can still make ends meet. As for Wu Song, money is always not important, and neither of them has any idea about money. Lou sent the box, and she first took out a soft fried tenderloin and sent it to Mrs. Liu's house, and the rest she just tasted a little bit of each, and then gave the two brothers a good drink. The family of three enjoyed themselves happily,
