I am engaged in construction in Datang

The female farmers had informed us in advance and reserved special spaces for setting up stalls.

The one who came earlier than Miss Lin was the father-in-law who sold sugar-roasted chestnuts, sugar-roasted hawthorns and candied haws.

"Mr. Chen, are your things selling well?" A muffled voice came out from the mask. As soon as the words fell, a servant came running over from the opposite building.

"Father, give me another twenty strings of candied haws, two bags of chestnuts, and a bag of sugar-fried hawthorns." The servant said, "The girls who didn't get to eat them said my husband is stingy!"

"Okay." Old man Chen moved quickly, wrapping the candied haws in glutinous rice paper and then putting them into a long paper bag.

Each paper bag is printed with the logo of Nuzhuang and different poems, such as "If love is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night?" and a small label "Magpie Bridge Fairy: Fine Clouds Playing Qiao"4 in the lower right corner.

These words are enclosed in a rounded square. If someone cuts along the edge and sticks on a few layers of leftover wrapping paper, it can be made into a bookmark.

If someone wanted to collect the entire poem, they would probably have to run all over the city to buy snacks.

"A string of candied haws is eight cents, a bag of chestnuts and hawthorns is fifteen cents, the total is 205 cents, I'll charge you 200 cents." Things with sugar are expensive.

Old man Chen touched a zero, and the owner of the manor said this was a way to keep the guest.

The waiter over there was flipping through the packaging bag and complaining, "Why do you only have the fourth line of the Queqiao Fairy here?"

"Sir, the packaging bags are distributed randomly by the village, and we don't even know what we got!" Old Man Chen said, "The rest may be with Miss Lin."

The servant was smart and immediately went to Miss Lin's pancake stall.

"How do you sell this, young lady?"

"A set of original flavor is 8 cents. It contains sauce, dried tofu, crackers and vegetables. An egg costs 7 cents more, and a sausage is 10 cents. Different items have different prices." Miss Lin pointed to the price list on the wooden board and let the servant look at it himself.

She was illiterate, but the servants in the wealthy family could read.

"Okay, give me a set with eggs and sausage first." The servant said. He would pay for it himself and let the young man have a taste. If he likes it, he can come back for more.

Anyway, he grew up in the mansion and had no worries about food and clothing.

"Young lady, find me a package for the Magpie Bridge Fairy. Which sentence is it on your end?"

"It seems to be the third sentence. I can't read, so you can look for yourself." Miss Lin scooped a spoonful of flour from the bucket, then began to make pancakes, beat eggs, spread sauce, add sausage, and put in tofu, crispy cakes, and vegetables.

"The packaging of Jianbing Guozi is a little different from that of Tanghulu. If you want to collect the whole set, you have to look for it somewhere else that sells Tanghulu."

The pancakes were ready soon, and the servant returned upstairs with large and small bags.

Wen Zhen sent someone to meet him.

Soon, a large bag of food appeared on the table.

The servant gave the pancake to Wen Zhen first, to prevent some tactless girl from snatching it away and eating it.

Wen Zhen called the girls to take the candied haws and asked them to leave the wrapping paper.

"Ayuan, where did you buy this pancake?" Wen Zhen took a bite of the pancake. It was thin, crispy, salty and fragrant. The crispy stuff inside was delicious. And he didn't know how the sausage was made, it was delicious.

"Right next to the old man selling candied haws, there are also women selling goods, and they all wear the same uniform!"

"The owner of the manor is a remarkable woman." Wen Zhen picked up the wrapping paper: "This wrapping paper is also very good, smooth and delicate, and can be used repeatedly. It's a pity to waste it like this!"

Then, he shook his head and recited the poem on the paper bag: "Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, I can't help but look back at the magpie bridge on my way home. This third line is so true, it's a pity that I can't know the first two lines."

As soon as he finished speaking, unbridled laughter came from the stairs.

"Wen Zhen, buy me a pot of wine and I'll tell you the first two sentences!" Yuchi Baolin came over and took out four bookmarks made of candied haws wrappers from his collar, and waved them in front of Wen Zhen as if showing off: "I don't understand your romantic stories, but candied haws are delicious, so I collected a set!"

He turned the side with the words on it upside down on the table and seduced Wen Zhen.

Wen Zhen wanted to see it but couldn't bring himself to do it, so he couldn't help it and asked someone to serve Yuchi Baolin a pot of wine. He also sent A Yuan to help him collect the Magpie Bridge Fairies in the candied haws packaging.

"Humph, I will have a complete set of sticks later, but I just want to observe the poems first."

Wen Zhen opened the sticks on the table and read: "The thin clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are conveying hatred, the Milky Way is far away and dark. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world..."

His eyes lit up: "Good words, good words!"

The girls in the building liked poems like this the most. They took out paper and pen to copy them down, and then made them into little songs to sing. Who knows, some of their patrons might like them.

On this day, the Nuzhuang packaging bags became popular throughout the city of Chang'an.

Such as "Ask the world, what is love, which makes people pledge to each other for life and death.", "I will never regret my clothes getting looser and looser...", "I hope you can pick more...", etc.

But the packaging is not fully printed, always half of the poem.

Some noblemen spent one or two taels of silver to buy a set of bags with the same packaging.

Tai Chi Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Su Qing hurried over, followed by a group of eunuchs, each holding a bunch of things in their hands.

"I have collected all the poems that can be found on the market! If I can't collect them all, I can only ask Master Li."

"Okay, bring them here for me to see!" Li Shimin stood up. Although the authors of these poems were not indicated, he believed that they were written by his sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law did write the Three Character Classic and the couplets in the same rhyme as the old man in the hat! Although the sister-in-law said that it was not written by her, he had never heard of it anywhere else, so he did not believe the words of the anti-righteous sister.

If my sister was a man...

Su Qing distributed the food and only kept the packaging.

Li Shimin read one poem after another and could not stop marveling at the poem.

However, Li Shimin did not appreciate it for too long. His sister-in-law said that poetry is just a minor art, and a hundred poems passed down through the ages are not as good as inventing something that benefits the country and the people.

A hundred officials with many medals and decorations are not as good as a village head who can help the people under his rule to have food and clothing.

Those master craftsmen and officials who care about the people are the foundation of the country.

My sister is so talented, but...

This is my adopted sister!

"Wang De, look at this paper used to hold food." Li Shimin felt the touch under his fingers.

"Your Majesty, Master Li has just opened a papermaking workshop. The technology used is extraordinary and I'm afraid it will have a significant impact on the current market."

The implication is that someone is about to get upset.

Li Yin had always avoided those people before, for example, the sugar, the limited tea, and the fact that although they could produce better brocade and faster, they were always used by the village themselves and never sold outside.

Even so, there are still many people spying secretly.

Li Shimin pondered and said to Wang De: "After the morning court tomorrow, I will go to the farm."

He will leave a hundred guards at the farm tomorrow, and also ask his sister-in-law about her plans so that he can suppress those fleas.
