The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 14 The Strange Business
"Mother, it's really delicious. I've never eaten such a strong noodle, and the soup is also so delicious."

"Well, that's right, mother, when did you have this cooking skill? It's all right now, and I won't be looked down upon by my second aunt in the future. She thinks her cooking skills are amazing, and she is called a self-righteous one in the village." , It's uncomfortable to watch."

Nan Nan and Tun Tun each held a bowl with a gap, and ate with big mouthfuls. Nan Nan pointed to a bowl of noodles on the table and said, "Grandma, I want to eat more!"

Yu Maimai thought that the two children had never had enough to eat, and what to do if they ate too much and became overwhelmed, so he said to Nannan: "Nannan, be obedient, you two should eat less, and grandma will make delicious food at night." Yes, you need to save some stomach, don't you?"

This trick really worked. After the children finished their meal, they touched their bellies and said, "Grandma, look, my bellies are bulging. Okay, let's go out and play."

Yu Maimai was immersed for a while, looking at the messy table, she said: "Second brother, didn't you pick up some mushrooms on the mountain last time? It just so happens that I also have something to go to the market, you go with me, By the way, we also sold those mushrooms, we can’t eat that much anyway.”

As a mother-in-law, Yu Maimai can't just be idle at this time, she has to find a job to make a living for the family.

The last time Mrs. Zhang went to the market, she had gained some experience with her mother-in-law. She was a little unhappy when she heard that her mother-in-law was going to take the second child's family with her this time: "Mom, but I want to go too?"

"No, you're leaving, what can you do at home, remember, take care of the food and drink of the two children, and wash the clothes. Although these clothes are a little old, they still need to be washed clean."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and agreed. It was the first time for Mrs. Ning to go out with her mother-in-law, and she was very excited. She sorted the mushrooms she picked up, put them in a cloth bag, put them at the door, and then walked into the house .

Ning's is different from Zhang's. Zhang's is rough and doesn't pay attention to details, while Ning's always dresses up carefully when going out, even though he doesn't have any nice clothes.

In the room, there was a mirror, and a piece of coarse cloth was spread on a red cabinet. Standing in front of the mirror, Ning combed her hair with a comb, tied it into a bun, and put a flower on it. Coupled with her fair and supple skin, the whole person is like a coquettish flower.

After the man died, she seldom went out, and she seldom dressed herself up so exquisitely. This time, she deliberately changed into a clean light blue dress, and also applied rouge and lip gloss. Her whole body was much more energetic. .

After Yu Maimai packed up, he walked into Ning's room when he didn't see Ning.

The door creaked, and Yu Maimai walked in. Seeing Ning's alluring dress, he immediately smiled.

"That's right. I didn't expect you to be good at dressing yourself up. As a woman, you should dress yourself up to give yourself hope and confidence, and at the same time give others a good impression."

Ning blushed and said, "Mother, I just don't want to embarrass you, so I just"

"It's very good, the second child, you have a sense of beauty, how about this, when you have time, teach your mother how to dress up, my mother is far inferior to you in this respect, and your sister-in-law, you must not do this Sloppy."

When Ning heard her mother-in-law say this, she lowered her head: "Mother, but, I'm not very good at it, but my sister-in-law is very good at dressing up. I'll let my sister-in-law teach you when I have time, how about it?"

Yu Maimai shook his head: "No, mother wants you to teach! Hurry up, get everything ready, if you go late, who else will you sell it to?"

Uncle Liu in the village had been preparing his bullock cart for a long time. When he saw Yu Maimai coming out with Ning Shi, Uncle Liu held a whip in his hand and shouted, "Oh, what are you doing? There are still ink stains, all of them are dressed like a flower, are you mother-in-law and daughter-in-law going out on a blind date?"

Yu Maimai didn't like to say that, she glanced at Uncle Liu: "Seeing how old you are, what are you talking about, my daughter-in-law has hope for a blind date, as for me, I'm old enough, do you want it? "

One sentence blocked Uncle Liu for a long time before he could utter a complete sentence. Looking at Uncle Liu's face, it was as red as a monkey's butt, and there was nowhere to hide.

Yu Maimai sat down, crossed his legs, and snorted coldly: "I'm so old, if you want to tease me, then I'll scour you first. Since you can't stand scolding, don't provoke me!"

In ancient times, women's sitting posture was also very particular. Ning glanced at her mother-in-law's trembling toes, pulled her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, what are you doing, put it down quickly, don't let Uncle Liu see it, and you are going to make fun of me again!" ?”

Seeing Ning's pale face, Yu Maimai didn't say anything, and hurriedly put his legs down and sat down properly.

When he arrived at the market, Yu Maimai jumped off the bullock cart.

"Thank you, how about it, what are you going to do, go do it first, we will go back later."

This is the first time Ning has seen such a bustling scene. There are all kinds of businesses in the market. There are fruit sellers on both sides of the street, as well as rouge and gouache sellers. In the corner, there are also some porcelain sellers, shouting and shouting. One after another.

Yu Maimai found a place, and then said to Ning: "Remember, it's here, set up a stall, take out the mushrooms, and sell them for 2 cents a catty, you know? I'll go ahead and look around."

In fact, Yu Maimai just wanted to avoid his daughter-in-law and ask the system to see if there was anything suitable for him to make a living.

After walking through the bustling crowd, she came to a secluded place and found a huge stone, which was not only smooth, but also had a tree beside it. She smiled, sat on the stone, and lay down.

"Xiao Cang, tell me, what do I do for a living now? I don't have much money now. I saw that there are all kinds of livelihoods in the market, but I don't know what kind of livelihood can support my family? "

After shouting for a long time, the system did not respond. Yu Maimai was very desperate, and snorted coldly: "Forget it, maybe Xiaocang has returned to her mother's house, just ignore me, I will find it myself!"

Turning the corner of the street, I saw a man sitting on the side of the road selling flowers. These flowers are not fake flowers, but real flowers. The difference is that all kinds of wild flowers are tied together to form a beautiful bouquet.

However, to her surprise, people came to buy even wild flowers.

"Shopkeeper, you are selling some wild flowers, why would someone still sell them? Is this person so stupid? Now that the war is in turmoil, who would spend money to buy these wild flowers?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "You don't understand this, do you? Take a look at what is here? Then look at the shops on this street. I guarantee you will understand why my business is so hot .”
