Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 54 Xiao Family Brothers
The next day, the father and daughter of Wen's family, who had a good night's sleep, got up early to sweep the courtyard. The snow in the corner of the courtyard was still a little unmelted. They rubbed it twice with a bamboo broom, and all of it melted away and flowed down the side ditch. Get out, seep into the soil.

Wen Shu held the broom, thinking about what he had gained last night, his eyes and brows were full of smiles.

Maybe it's because the new year is approaching, and her luck has also improved. This time, the random teleportation actually teleported her back to Bian Chunshan!

That's right, the mountain where peaches and jasmine were harvested for the first time!
It's a pity that the mountains are vast, and the place where she fell this time is different from the last time. There are no bright red peaches waiting for her to pick around, and there are even few trees.

She has limited time, only four or ten minutes, so it is impossible to spend all this limited time looking for peach trees and jasmine flowers across the mountains.

Luckily, she didn't walk for long before she found large slices of leeks, shallots, garlic and hellebore.

Leek, a vegetable, is naturally a very common dish in spring and summer. It costs three Wen a catty in the Wushu Temple Market, and it will not exceed forty Wen a catty in the nearby market.

But what time is it now, it is winter now!

At this time of the year, those who can grow leeks are either rich or expensive, and they don’t lack the money. Naturally, they keep the vegetables they grow for themselves or give some to relatives and friends if they have more, so as to save face. Where will it be sold.

And although Xuanqingguan would bring some vegetables down to sell from time to time, the quantity was very limited, and every time a load went down the mountain, it would be sold out by the nearby people. I heard that the price has risen to ten cents a catty.

Seeing a large piece of unowned and green leeks in this harsh winter, one can imagine how excited Wen Shu was at that time. In her eyes, these are no longer leeks, but round and round. Shiny copper plates.

But the veratrum was something she accidentally brought with her when she was picking up a lot of leeks when she was excited.

I still remember when I dragged it and leeks into my hand, the reminder from Xiaoxing in my mind almost scared her out of my mind!

Because Xiaoxing reminded that this veratrum is actually a blind medicinal material and is highly poisonous, she was so scared that she threw it out, but then Xiaoxing said, as long as you don’t eat it, it will not hurt if you hold it in your hand. It is poisonous, and if you want it to be used as a medicinal material, you have to process it first.

Only then did she take it to heart, and after cleaning up the leeks for 5 minutes and filling both bags, she spent the remaining four or five minutes pulling out dozens of weeds and bringing them back together.

Because Xiaoxing said that the root system of this substance can be used as an anesthetic after being processed and ground into powder. Once inhaled through the mouth and nose, it can make people lose their ability to move in a short time.

What else to say, of course it is pulling!
When I have time in the future, I will make it according to the processing method provided by Xiaoxing. I will take it with me on the way to Cangzhou in the next year. It will also have a lot of protection, and this effect is no better than the lime pepper powder Linger gave her.

While thinking about it, she couldn't help the smile on her face, Wen Tai looked at her strangely, but he just thought it was the Chinese New Year, and he didn't care if the child was happy.

Sweeping the yard clean is over, because Wen Shu spends some time sweeping the inner room every day since he was a child, and it is still clean and clean as new.

After cleaning the yard, Wen Tai was sent out by Wen Shu to buy the ingredients for the evening, except for the half leg of lamb sent by the Hou's house, this year, the Wen family also had to buy some fish, meat, fruits and vegetables.

In terms of money, he was also generous. Wen Tai returned home yesterday. In addition to the scheduled two wages, he was also able to catch up with the work on time. The owner was happy, and specially sealed a 280 Wen thank you wages.

If you save some money and bargain more, you can buy everything in 280 Wen.

Wen Shu even made breakfast, and sent her father out to buy things. In previous years, father and daughter went together, but this year, she left her father alone with the excuse that the new clothes were still a few stitches away. paid out.

Then, not long after her father left, she went back to the room and found a blue cloth to wrap her face, only revealing a pair of big round eyes. Shu Temple.

The New Year is approaching, and for the convenience of the people in the city, the gates of the city are opened half an hour earlier than usual. Although it is only two o'clock at this time, and the sky is just getting brighter, Wushu Temple is already full of people, women carrying bamboo baskets to buy goods on the road. There is an endless stream of people.

In order to get a good seat, Wen Shu didn't eat breakfast, and pushed the cart to turn left and right in the crowd, scanning the surroundings with her big round eyes. After a while, she fixed her eyes on an intersection with a lot of traffic.

Excitedly, she pushed the cart and ran over. Just as she unloaded the two pockets containing leeks and opened them, three or five big men suddenly came out of the sidebar.

The leader with a full beard and a stick in his hand looked quite ferocious. If an ordinary lady saw this, her legs and feet would definitely go weak.

But Wen Shu faced her father every day, and she developed her courage. Although she was still a little flustered in her heart, her face was still calm.

At this end, that bearded man has already stepped forward, pointing his stick at the cart driveway: "Where did you come from, little lady, dare to occupy your booth of Mr. Xiao.

Only then did Wen Shu see that there was a cart behind these people. There were many slaughtered animals covered in blood on the cart, presumably they were butchers selling meat.

Wen Shu didn't want to conflict with them, so she pleaded guilty in a sensible manner, saying that she didn't know that the stall already had an owner, and offended her, then tied her pockets tightly and wanted to put them in the car and leave.

However, Master Xiao was extremely sharp-eyed. Seeing the green color of her pocket, which looked like leeks, he couldn't help being a little surprised. He rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said, "Hey, what's the rush? I didn't say I won't let you hang around here." booth."

Wen Shu was stunned, and soon saw that Master Xiao walked to the bag, reached out and grabbed a handful of leeks from inside, then nodded his head and said, "Where did the little lady get so many leeks at this time of year?"

Wen Shu dared to come out to sell vegetables openly, and he had already thought of an excuse, so he said calmly, "I have a relative who works in Xuanqingguan, and asked me to sell these leeks."

"Xuanqing Guan?" The big man paused for a moment, not sure whether he believed it or not, but his tone softened a lot, "In that case, don't go to other places, the good location in this area has long been occupied by someone. It is not easy for you to be a little lady, so I will give you a corner, and you can sell it next to me."

Wen Shu didn't expect this Lord Xiao to be so talkative, but he was afraid that he had some conspiracy, so he didn't dare to respond for a while.

When Master Xiao saw this, he snorted: "It's really kind to be a donkey. If you don't believe it, then go, and I won't stop you." clear.

Thinking about this journey again, it is true that all the good locations have been occupied, only some corners are empty, but if these two bags of leeks want to be sold as soon as possible, they must find a conspicuous place.

After thinking for a moment, she thanked her, took off the small wooden bench on the cart, took the wet rice stalks, opened the bag, and began to bundle leeks one by one, while yelling a few words in her mouth.
