Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

The Wang family's door was heavily closed behind them, and the people in Taohua Village looked a little depressed.

I thought I was supporting the people in my village, but it turned out to be a joke and a slap in the face for myself.

Everyone looked very listless.

Du Wenxiu supported Yulan and followed behind. Yulan looked dazed. Suddenly, her body leaned to the side and she started vomiting again on the side of the road.

It took her a while to straighten her back. The villagers had all gone far away, and only Du Wenxiu and Lu Fanghai were standing there waiting for her.

Yulan now looks more and more haggard, as if she has lost her soul. Her face is pale, her eyes are large and lifeless, and the remaining tears in the corners of her eyes make her look even weaker.

"Sister Yulan, how are you? Are you feeling unwell? Fang Hai and I will take you to see a doctor." Du Wenxiu asked softly.

"Did you hear it? She said that she and Xiaohu and her mother..." Yulan looked at the ridges of fields beside the road and smiled sadly, like an abandoned rag doll.

Du Wenxiu's heart ached, and she cried with her. "Don't think too much. It would be hard for anyone to feel bad when two people died at the same time. Don't take her words too seriously, okay? Don't make it hard on yourself."

Yulan looked at her and curled her lips: "Sister-in-law, don't persuade me, I know everything."

"Let's go." She walked forward first, and soon, several people caught up with the people from Taohua Village.

Aunt Lu took two hundred taels of silver from Mr. Wang's house, and without even looking at Sulan's body, she said she was going to Huichun Hall to collect the body of Old Wantou, and called several young people from the village to go with her.

Yulan silently walked into the crowd returning to the village. People always recognize their true selves only after they are hurt. Since Aunt Lu entered the Wang family, she has not looked at Yulan once, as if this daughter had died with them.

Perhaps in her heart, the only one who will accompany her in the future is her son Xiaohu.

Among the crowd in Taohua Village, several people left the team while talking and went towards the town.

Du Wenxiu quietly tugged at Lu Fanghai's collar and whispered, "It's not easy for us to come to town, why don't we go buy something?"

Lu Fanghai nodded, caught up with Old Yang and told him to pick them up in the afternoon and to tell his family as well.

Old Yang agreed, and Du Wenxiu glanced at Yulan in the crowd again. She saw that although she looked a little depressed, her demeanor was still normal.

Du Wenxiu thought about it and decided to say hello to her, saying that they were going to the town to buy some daily necessities and would come to see her when they got home.

If she didn't want to go home right away, she could stay at her own home.

Yulan's eyes were red again, and her bright big eyes were misted over. She looked at Du Wenxiu and nodded to reassure her that she was fine.

Du Wenxiu gave a few more instructions before following Lu Fanghai to the town.

Because they wanted to make some pickled vegetables for easy preservation, the two bought several kilograms of salt. When paying, Du Wenxiu couldn't help but be shocked. In this era, salt is really expensive!

A pound of brown rice costs five cents, but a pound of salt costs twenty cents!

No wonder when I read novels in the past, there were always people writing about private salt dealers making money, as if they were robbing money.

Although he was complaining in his heart, he still had to buy some. In addition to making pickled vegetables, the dried chicken and rabbit hanging under the eaves of the house also needed to be smeared with salt for good preservation. He also discussed with Lu Fanghai that when he was not going into the mountains, he could go to the river to catch fish and make salted fish to sell, which was also a way out.

Thinking this way, I bought five kilograms of coarse salt. Fine salt is more expensive, so I couldn't bear to buy it.

Because Du Wenxiu liked to eat pasta and the white flour at home was consumed quickly, he bought another five kilograms of white flour and ten kilograms of coarse flour. Money slipped through his fingers like water, and Du Wenxiu felt a pain in his heart when he paid.

"I'd better find a way to make money as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll just be spending money without earning anything. The pressure is too great!" She kept muttering to herself as she left the shop.

Lu Fanghai didn't show it on his face, but he was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt. "We only got more than twenty taels of silver, which is enough for you to eat."

Du Wenxiu turned around and glared at him, angrily saying, "How much money is this? We still have to buy land and build a house. If you calculate it this way, this little money is really not enough."

Hearing her say this, Lu Fanghai was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, I'll go into the mountains a few more times, maybe I'll hunt some good stuff and sell it for a good price. If we accumulate little by little, we'll have everything you want."

"It's so dangerous to go into the mountains. You won't be able to eat or sleep well. There are also many snakes in the mountains in summer. It's too dangerous. We might as well think of other ways." Du Wenxiu muttered. He saw a two-story building at the intersection in front of him. It was decorated in a very classy way with three big characters "Hui'an Building" written on it. He remembered what the second son of the Wang family had said, and couldn't help but feel curious. He walked up to the door and looked inside again and again.

Hui'anlou is the largest restaurant in Shihe Town. It was not dinner time at the moment, so there were not many people inside. The waiter leaned against the door frame and yawned out of boredom.

I saw a pretty young lady looking inside, followed by a burly man. Judging from their clothes, they didn't look like they were from a wealthy family.

Since the shop is open for business, the waiter is naturally smart.

The waiter, smiling, called out to the two of them: "Are you two hungry? Do you want to come in and sit down? The chef of our Hui'an Restaurant is the most famous chef in Shihe Town."

Seeing that the waiter seemed easy to talk to, Du Wenxiu also stepped forward and bowed: "Excuse me, young man, does Hui'an Tower sell dried goods and game?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Oh, I can't make the decision. If this young lady has something to sell, please wait a moment. I will ask the shopkeeper to come out and talk."

Du Wenxiu also smiled kindly and said, "We don't have any with us now. If you want to take it, it won't be too late to ask the shopkeeper to come and take a look at the goods next time. This time I just came to ask if you want to take it. If you don't want to take it, I won't bother you next time."

Seeing that she spoke with moderation and neither humble nor arrogant, she was different from the usual peasant women. The waiter, who was used to seeing people flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, couldn't help but look up to her and promised them that he would help inform the shopkeeper if they came to look for her next time.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise. Du Wenxiu thanked the young man and then left with Lu Fanghai.

The two of them walked around again. It was the first time for Du Wenxiu to go shopping after traveling through time, so everything he saw was new to him. Passing by a cloth shop, he also peeked inside. However, the owner of this cloth shop was not as friendly as the waiter just now. When he saw that they were dressed simply, he said something deceiving, saying that if you don't have money, don't go shopping like others.

Lu Fanghai was furious and wanted to go up to argue, but was stopped by Du Wenxiu. He was a little unhappy as he had originally wanted to buy some cloth to make new clothes for the three of them.

Du Wenxiu smiled and comforted him: "Summer is coming soon, so you don't have to worry about being cold. Just wear something decent to go out. Instead of spending money on new clothes, you might as well save it to buy a cotton-padded jacket for the winter."

He then smiled, and saw that there were buns being sold on the street. The vegetarian ones were one cent and the meat ones were three cents, so he bought five meat buns and ten vegetarian ones. Du Wenxiu originally wanted to go home and cook them herself, but Lu Fanghai insisted on buying them, saying that it would be dark when he got home, and it would be tomorrow before he could cook them, so it would be better to buy them and have them for dinner.

The two of them strolled around happily and bought some farming tools. Although the two acres of land in their family are now being cultivated by others, they can also tidy up the vegetable garden in the yard and plant vegetables in late spring, so they don't have to worry about it for most of the year.
