Chapter 419 419 are all satisfied
As Lin He said, getting engaged was not a big deal in the first place, but it was just inappropriate to conceal it deliberately, and Dong'er was more concerned about it.

Matchmaker Xie also made it clear to the Wang family about the situation of the Li family and Liu Dong'er, so Lin He naturally didn't need to say more at this time.

Wang Mo also said that the two of them were engaged and broke off their engagement, as long as Liu Donger didn't dislike him for having an injury on his foot.

In the simple exchange, it was clear that Wang Mo was well-educated in his speech and behavior, which Lin He was most satisfied with.

As the saying goes, if you want to get married, you should find someone who is good to you, not someone who is only good to you.

Life is not three to five years, but three to fifty years. Love will disappear, but character and cultivation will not.

Li Changhui, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked: "Are you still studying?"

Wang Mo nodded without hesitation: "Of course I will. Storytelling in teahouses is not a long-term solution after all. If we can go one step further and become a master in the town, it would be good."

Li Changhui nodded. It was good to have this intention. At least the previous incident did not cause a psychological shadow on him.

Lin He saw that Li Changhui had no objections, so he smiled and said: "There is a barbecue restaurant in the county. There is a discount for one day in the middle of every month. All purchases are [-]% off. The taste is pretty good."

Wang Mo was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, a bit of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"I have tried this barbecue restaurant with my elders in the family. The taste is really good. Speaking of which, my parents have not left Qingshan Town this year because of my leg injury."

Lin He didn't say any more. There are still ten days until the middle of the month. As long as Wang Mo is not stupid, he should go to the barbecue restaurant on that day.

Wang Mo went downstairs quickly and said a few words to his parents. The two of them were also very surprised. They probably didn't expect that their future in-laws were coming, so they hurriedly came upstairs.

Although the marriage of the two parties should be close to each other, after all, it has not been settled yet. After some gossip, Lin He and Li Changhui said goodbye and left.

However, Lin He still informed Dong'er's father and mother in Yonghe Town during the chat. If it happened, the woman would have to go out at her own home when she got married.

What's more, the youngest daughter of the Liu family couldn't get married outside without knowing it.

There is nothing wrong with this. The Wang family also knows etiquette, so they naturally agree. However, the distance is a bit far, and returning home is a bit troublesome.

Of course, these can be discussed after they are finalized. There is no rush now. In the end, we can negotiate a result that is satisfactory to both parties.

After leaving the teahouse, getting into the carriage, and walking a little farther, Lin He let out a long sigh of relief, and his whole shoulders suddenly collapsed.

"I'm exhausted. It's really hard to carry this all the time. Fortunately, I left early, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to hold on."

Li Changhui couldn't help but laugh: "I think Mrs. Wang is just like you. She probably has a hard time enduring it."

"Really?" Lin He tried his best to recall: "It seems to be true. I saw her rolling up her sleeves and working very hard when she was working downstairs. When she went upstairs, she looked upright."

After all, he was in front of strangers, and it was still related to his son's marriage, so like Lin He, he pretended to be dignified and generous, and even his voice was much gentler.

Speaking of this, Lin He thought of Wang's tea.

"Brother Hui, this tea is really expensive. The pot of tea we had today only costs one or two yuan. I looked at the tea list and the cheapest one cost fifty or sixty yuan."

Calculated in this way, one pound of tea is worth five or six taels of silver.

Moreover, Li Changhui said, here are all top-grade varieties, so how expensive are the top-grade ones?
Li Changhui: "One hundred articles."

"what?"

"What was served to us was one hundred cents per pot." When they left, they originally wanted to pay the bill, but the Wang family confiscated it, so Lin He didn't insist on giving it.

"Isn't that ten taels per catty?"

Good guy, one tael of silver is worth a thousand coins, ten taels of silver is ten thousand coins!

Even for those people in the city who have no fields and no land, the family can spend more than half a year!
"It's about the same. The tea is very light, and the dosage is small, so the price is naturally high. The tea leaves of ten taels a catty can barely be regarded as the upper middle class. It is really the best tea, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a thousand gold."

Lin He clicked his tongue twice: "Sure enough, this luxury is not something ordinary people can enjoy."

It was worth just a few words. No matter how much money she had, she would not be willing to spend it on tea.

"Luxury goods?" Li Changhui repeated these words and nodded: "It is indeed quite luxurious."

Li Changhui quickly found a place to store the carriage, and then took Lin He shopping together. The two had been in Nanzhi County for so many years, but they rarely visited nearby towns.

Now walking on the unfamiliar streets, everything feels very novel, even the things in the town can be found in Nanzhi County.

"Ye Erba, fresh Ye Erba, Ye Erba just out of the cage."

The loud shouting sound reached his ears, and along with it, there was the smell of meat, which immediately attracted Lin He's greedy mind.

"It smells so good." He looked around, picked up Li Changhui and ran: "Over there, hurry up and take a look."

There was a little girl setting up a stall. Next to her, there was a burning stove with a steamer on top of it, from which the fragrance came.

The little girl looked about eleven or twelve years old. Her face was rough from years of exposure to wind and sun, with some redness and some black cracks that looked like scabs.

The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw the two coming over: "Madam, this is the Ye'er cake I just made. It's made of glutinous rice and fresh meat. It's delicious."

"I smell it, it's really fragrant. How much does it cost for one? Give me two."

The little girl rolled her eyes and blurted out: "Five cents each."

"Five cents?" Lin He was a little surprised. The meat buns made of refined flour only cost three cents each.

The little girl quickly explained: "Madam, please don't worry, I use the best pork belly and the latest glutinous rice from last year. It tastes absolutely delicious, and I am the only one selling Yeerba in the whole Qingshan Town."

The little girl is not very old, but she speaks clearly and logically.

"Okay, give me two."

Li Changhui had already counted ten coins. The little girl took the money and counted it carefully before putting it in the purse around her waist and wrapping two leaf cakes with clean sycamore leaves.

The fist-sized Ye'er cake looks glutinous, but it is indeed made from very good glutinous rice. It is also wrapped in a layer of corn clothes, and you can still smell the fragrance of corn leaves.

"Madam, this leaf cake is best eaten when it's hot, but please be careful about scalding it."

Lin He tentatively took a small bite, and opened a bit of the skin, revealing the meat stuffing inside, which smelled like sprouts and fresh meat, and it was indeed thin skin and big stuffing.

"It's very fragrant. The little girl has a good handicraft. How did you think of doing this?"

This Yeerba was not unique to Qingshan Town. She had never encountered it in Nanzhi County.
