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

Chapter 22 Procurement
"What's the matter? My lord, didn't you admire this woman very much before? Besides, I think this place is actually pretty good. If you can settle down, we will live here. Anyway, Yu Maimai still has two There is a daughter-in-law, and there is no man in the family, in this case, we happen to be three pairs, wouldn't it be better?"

This sentence just hit Qiao Shan's mind. Qiao Shan is a strong man. If you want to talk about this prototype, he really looks like a man from the Zhang family. The two brothers have no parents since they were young. They have followed Li Shengwang since they were five years old. .

Qiao Shan coughed twice, and watched Li Shengwang sit down in front of him.

"My lord, tell me how this Yu Maimai became a mother-in-law at such a young age. I heard that her two grandsons have a good relationship with her now?"

"Shut up! You two traitors, why do you want to marry the Zhang family? Okay, you go and marry that shrew Yu Maimai. I won't do it anymore. This ignorant thing will make me angry if I mention it." , I kindly sent Piggy back, and returned it to me."

This Li Shengwang is still narrow-minded. It has been so long, but he still remembers this incident. The two brothers of the Qiao family have long forgotten about it.

Qiao Mai went on to say: "I didn't expect this Yu Maimai to go to a brothel and make a deal with his mother to sell flowers, and I heard that he made a lot of money for the first time?"

At the mention of the word brothel, Li Shengwang vomited uncontrollably.

"Okay, this stinky bitch actually did such a shameful thing, how can there be such a person in our dry river? Well, if you want to make money, I will make you a pauper, I don't believe it, you They turned a blind eye and regarded me as air."

Qiao Shan is very good at answering questions, but now he stammered and said: "No, that's not right, who said just now that he would not marry Yu Maimai, why did he hear that he went to a brothel again? Are you unhappy?"

Li Shengwang directly picked up Qiao Shan who was sitting on the side: "Okay, you brat, you dare to humiliate my lord like this, believe it or not, I will liberate your ears!"

"My lord, please forgive me, I know I was wrong."

Yu Maimai came to a seasoning shop and found that there are all seasonings used in ancient times. These things are all as fine as flour. When you pick them up and smell them, you feel that they have a little fragrance, but no matter what, Having a hard time finding things like fennel anise?
Yu Maimai needed these things if he wanted to stew meat, but there were no such things in ancient times. She couldn't help wondering: "Why, there were no such things in ancient times. Could it be that people in ancient times used a handful of coarse salt to cook meat?"

Seeing Yu Maimai's eyes flickering around, Ning couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Mother, what are you looking for?"

"Oh, you go to other places to see if there are any dishes and chopsticks used in the kitchen. Our table and chopsticks need to be replaced, and the kitchen table also needs one. That table can no longer be used. gone?"

Yu Maimai suddenly thought of the seasonings of the ancients. Aren't all the things that can be used for cooking meat available in pharmacies?Ginkgo, fennel and the like may be available in drugstores?
Sure enough, Yu Maimai bought these aniseed ingredients at the pharmacy, came to a kitchen utensils shop with great interest, pointed to the bowls and chopsticks on the cabinet and said, "Look, how about these bowls and chopsticks? But, these bowls and chopsticks Well, the texture is still very rough, and the variety of colors is relatively simple?"

The shopkeeper came over and said with a smile: "You look like a distinguished guest from out of town. In a small place like ours, there are not so many good porcelain bowls. To choose a good porcelain bowl, you have to go to the capital."

What the shopkeeper said is correct. In this era, one must choose good porcelain. No, not only porcelain, no matter what it is, the things that can be bought in the capital are the best.

Yu Maimai picked up the bowl, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Shopkeeper, how much is your bowl?"

"Two cents apiece! If you want more, I'll give you a cheaper price."

"Well, it's not too expensive. Okay, shopkeeper, then help me wrap it up. I want ten plates, ten bowls, and ten pairs of chopsticks."

Ning frowned: "Mother, don't tell me, what do you need so much for? There are only five people in our family, so we don't need so much."

Yu Maimai has his own ideas, these bowls and chopsticks may be accidentally broken one day, so be prepared.

"It's okay, there may be relatives at home, so buying a few more is enough!"

After buying things in the kitchen, she took Ning to a shopping mall and bought some quilts, straw mats, felts, and bedding for the kang, and then bought a coat for the two daughters-in-law. A grandson also bought a suit of clothes.

Ning could see why this mother-in-law would buy clothes for them, and she was still thinking about the two children. It seemed that the mother-in-law was really different from before?
Ning looked at Yu Maimai, took Yu Maimai's arm and said, "Mother, I don't want it anymore, you should buy one for you, look at the clothes are very worn out."

Yu Maimai patted himself embarrassingly and said, "Hi, no need, I'm your mother-in-law. Older people don't look good in anything, so let you all dress up beautifully so that people in the village won't be embarrassed." Said that I treated my daughter-in-law harshly."

Ning did not speak, and walked while kicking the small stones on the road. Although the things she was carrying in her hands were not light, she did not feel a little heavy. After so many years, what kind of person is her mother-in-law? It couldn't be clearer, but now it seems like a completely different person, she is so excited that she doesn't know how to deal with herself?

Passing by a bookstore, Yu Maimai thought of her two grandchildren, turned around and walked into the bookstore, Ning looked up, although she didn't recognize the words on the plaque, she could tell it was a bookstore through the curtain.

Ning muttered: "What's going on? Mom, are you going to buy a book?"

"Let's go, let's buy some books for Nannan and Tuntun, so that the two children can learn to read and write as early as possible. When I find a suitable school, I will let them study."

When Ning heard her mother-in-law's words, she almost staggered.

You know, the original owner never had this idea before. She thought it was enough for the children to grow up with enough food. As for those sour literati ways, she disapproved the most. Now, they actually want to send two children to school?
"Mom, what are you doing?"

Yu Maimai knew what Ning was going to say next, so he said: "Okay, I didn't say anything before, but now I have decided to let my two grandsons go to school well. There is a way out, look, those who are literate and educated can make money faster than those of us who are illiterate."

There are enlightenment books in the bookstore. Yu Maimai looked around and found that these books were good, so he bought two, and also bought two postcards by the way, so that he could go back and practice calligraphy.

Before leaving, the shopkeeper gave her a writing brush and a piece of ink.
