Chapter 40 Meeting Qin Shisan Again

Bai Fu came out of the spice shop with a face full of pain.

"It's so expensive for such a little thing, it's a steal." She looked back at the signboard and said angrily.

Xiao Liang put the spices he had just bought to his nose and smelled them, "Aunt Guzha didn't say anything, spices are rare things, and you can't judge their value by size and weight, and those who can afford them are high-ranking officials."

This Bai Fu naturally knew about it a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.

After all, she was too poor.

Detian Pavilion has no income yet. Although it is cheaper to eat, drink and live at home than staying in a hotel outside, it costs money to buy oil, furniture, firewood, and craftsmen.

Their money is really not enough.

There is a servant girl in the hall who is being kindly invited out by the staff. The servant girl is holding a large box of spices in her hand, and she is talking to the servant girl while walking. of.

It's so cheap, Bai Fu pouted slightly.

It really smells like rich wine and meat, I don't know if there are frozen bones on the road.

The gap between the rich and the poor in ancient times was much more severe than in modern times. The rich were desperate for extravagance, but the poor could not even guarantee the convenience of basic life. Not only was there a huge disparity in eating, drinking and clothing, but even bathing and purging became a luxury with class characteristics. Son.

Except for summer, poor people seem to seldom think about bathing in other seasons, at most they wipe their bodies with wet handkerchiefs.

Although the rich are not so sloppy, there are not many who can take a bath every now and then. After all, it is a big project for them to go through a whole set of procedures, and they have to choose their days to count their days.

As for Bai Fu, she really can't bear not washing her hair for three days. As long as conditions permit, she will spend an hour or two about taking a bath almost every two days.

Every time at this time, she would miss the modern cheap, easy-to-use and good-smelling soap, body milk and shampoo, and she would miss the beautiful modern life even more.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, and followed Xiao Liang forward with a sullen expression.

The two walked to a street lined with restaurants and teahouses. This is called Nanyi Street, which is the widest street in the Southern District.

Although South [-]st Street is not as richly decorated as the shops in the East District, it is very popular among young people because of its many exotic restaurants, and you can often see groups of young men and gentlemen meeting here.

Today is no exception, there are many kinds of carriages and horses parked in front of many shops, and the servants and coachmen of the sons and daughters gathered at the door, joking and joking, the carriages and horses squeezed the originally wide street into a narrow place, Bai Fu had to lead Xiao Liang through it .

"Look at Xiaoliang"

Bai Fu blocked the passers-by who were walking in the opposite direction with his hands, and told Xiao Liang behind him. At the same time, he raised his head, his eyes swept over the carriages and horses and the figures on the second floor who were toasting and changing glasses.

The second floor is usually a box, and Bai Fu has never had a chance to go there.

It is early summer now, and the cloth curtains of the boxes have been replaced with bamboo curtains.

Some of the bamboo curtains were rolled up, some were lowered, and through the bamboo curtains, there were young sons laughing and joking with each other, while some old men were drinking together while listening to Diva’s ditty. It was a lively scene.

"Bai Fu?"

Suddenly, a loud shout sounded from an unknown direction.

Bai Fu and Xiao Liang were taken aback for a moment, then looked around.

"Here, here, don't move, wait!"

The voice suddenly rose high, with uncontrollable excitement, Bai Fu managed to find the source of the sound, but only saw a piece of tumbling clothes flashing past.

Soon, a young man in green shirt ran out from a nearby restaurant, and grabbed her shoulders panting, with a bright smile on his face.

It's not who Mr. Qin is.

Bai Fu smiled.

"It's just running to the second floor, why are you panting like this?" She looked teasingly at the handsome face she hadn't seen for a long time.

Young Master Qin didn't bother to answer.

"Why didn't you come to see me when you came to Raozhou?" He asked, and looked at Xiao Liang next to him with a happy tone, "Are you the only two here?"

Xiao Liang also recognized Mr. Qin at this time, and greeted him with a smile, "Master Qin is good."

Bai Fu patted Young Master Qin's hand on his shoulder, "Release quickly, your bones are about to be crushed, huh?"

She looked at Mr. Qin, stretched out her hand and made a gesture of height comparison, "You seem to have grown a lot taller."

It was only then that Mr. Qin realized that he had lost his composure when he suddenly saw Bai Fu too happy, so he quickly let go of his hand, and the smile on his face remained undiminished.

"That's nature"

He raised his chest and looked down at the two people in front of him, "Why haven't you changed at all? You won't be able to grow in the future, right?"

As he said that, he looked at Bai Fu carefully. He hadn't seen him for a year or two. He didn't seem to have changed much, but he lost weight and looked more heroic.

Bai Fu gave him a supercilious look.

My sister is already content with this height, thank you.

While the two were talking, a few young men who wore the same style of clothes as Mr. Qin also ran out.

"Qin Shisan, the one who can make you lose your composure like this must be Mr. Bai Fubai whom you talk about every day."

A jade-faced niche with a fan said playfully.

A group of people were reciting poems and having fun just now, when they suddenly saw Mr. Qin shouting excitedly and running away. Mr. Qin has always been steady and dignified, and it was rare for him to behave so rudely, so they followed out of curiosity.

"He Qi!"

Mr. Qin rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Who is talking about it every day?"

The young master who was called He Qi laughed, and pointed at the other people with his fan, "Come on, come on, you can judge me, can I, He Qi, have any crazy words?"

"I can testify"

A round-faced young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes rolled his eyes and echoed:
"It was said at the dinner table just now that the dim sum is not as delicious as Mr. Bai's."

"Zhang Suanzi is right," another person said, "The day before yesterday you praised my handwriting as better than Mr. Bai's!"

After speaking, everyone laughed.

It turned out that Young Master Qin missed him so much, Bai Fu glanced at Young Master Ni Qin and smiled.

Mr. Qin looked embarrassed, he glared at them and pulled Bai Fu and Xiao Liang away, after walking a few steps, he turned around and shouted to his classmates, you go back first, I will leave by myself later.

The young man in the back yelled that Qin Shisan was not loyal enough, but Mr. Qin didn't care, he pulled Bai Fu Xiaoliang and left, Bai Fu turned back with a smile and hugged the others as farewell.

"Where do you live?" Mr. Qin remembered to ask after walking for a while.

Bai Fu helplessly pointed in the opposite direction, "South Third Street."

Mr. Qin: "."

Bai Fu took Mr. Qin back to Detian Pavilion, and on the way he gave a general account of what happened in the past two years. After hearing this, Mr. Qin was pleasantly surprised.

"Are you going to settle down in Bailu Town?" he asked.

Bai Fu nodded.

"The shops are all open. Is it fake? I also bought ten acres of land outside the city, and I plan to transplant some of the fruits and vegetables I planted." She said.

"The fruits and vegetables you grow?"

Mr. Qin remembered how much Bai Fu treasured the things he planted back then, and was a little curious.

Bai Fu asked Xiao Liang to fetch the stock from the warehouse, and laid it out on the table one by one:

"The red ones are called tomatoes, the khaki ones are called potatoes, the red ones are called sweet potatoes, and the yellow ones are called corns. There are also strawberries in Taohuawu, because the quantity is not much and we need to save them. I didn't bring them this time. There are also apples." The tree hasn't grown up yet, and it hasn't brought it."

Mr. Qin looked at these things he had never seen before, with a look of surprise on his face.

"You planted this all?"

"No, thanks to the help of A're and his tribe, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to do it alone."

Bai Fu had never grown vegetables in two lifetimes, only knew some theories, and got a horse in practice. If it wasn't for the help of Ah Re, a young vegetable grower, he might be crying with dead leaves somewhere.

Qin Shisan curiously picked them up and looked at them one by one, admiring them repeatedly.

"It turns out that you stayed in Taohuawu for so long to grow these things. I thought you didn't have money so you didn't dare to come out."

Bai flicked his hands.

"Today is another day of becoming a pauper, Mr. Qin, do you want to help?"

Mr. Qin: "."
