Dressed as a peasant girl, the prince actually wants to seduce me

The birds in the morning are still chirping non-stop.

Su Mu was brushing his teeth and washing his face under the tree.

People here mostly use willow branches to chew and brush their teeth. If conditions permit, they also rinse their mouths with salt water, strong tea, vinegar, wine, etc.

Some people use cloth as a toothbrush to clean their teeth, while others simply dip their fingers in salt or other substances and brush their teeth directly. Generally speaking, they are quite hygienic.

It’s just that this willow branch is a bit prickly in the mouth, Su Mu thought with a frown, and he still felt like it wasn’t brushed clean.

"Little sister, let's go and I'll drive you to the capital."

"it is good!"

The two of them took the cake and ate it as they walked. The eldest brother Su Yuanshan sat in the front driving the donkey cart, and Su Mu sat on the back board, and they went towards the capital together.

Qingshan Village is not too far from the capital city and can be considered as a suburb of Beijing. It doesn’t take long to reach the capital city.

At the city gate, there were many people queuing to enter the city. Some were carrying baskets on their backs, some were carrying loads on their shoulders to sell vegetables, and some were driving donkey carts and ox carts, making a lot of noise.

After crossing the floating bridge and passing through the city gate, you will arrive at the inner city.

As soon as you enter the inner city, you can hear the vendors' powerful shouts. As you walk inside accompanied by the shouts, you will see buildings standing on both sides of the street.

There are inns, taverns, teahouses, etc.

On the wide road, there were a lot of people, including women holding their children, women going out in groups, peddlers who had just entered the city gate and were selling their wares with loads on their shoulders, and in the distance there were horse-drawn carriages passing by.

Su Mu looked here and there, the capital city was so lively!

I have only seen such ancient street scenes on TV before, but now that I am in it, the feeling is different. For a moment, I don’t know which direction to go.

The eldest brother said at the right time: "Shall we go to the West Market first?"

I was not familiar with the place, so I followed my elder brother and walked towards the West Market.

When we arrived at the West Market, we found that there were many stalls selling goods. The more particular ones would put up wooden racks and display their goods on them, while most of them would just sell their goods by spreading a piece of cloth on the ground.

“Most people buy their vegetables here, and some wealthy families also purchase their groceries here.”

The eldest brother looked at Su Mu and said, "Should we try to set up a stall here? Or should we go to a restaurant and ask? Most farmers don't come to buy these wild mushrooms, they all go up the mountain to pick them themselves. Many big restaurants need these wild mushrooms, so many people send them directly to the restaurants."

Su Mu thought for a moment and said, "Shall we go to the restaurant and ask first?"

There are two particularly famous restaurants in the capital, Zuixianglou and Qianweizhai.

The two restaurants have different focuses. Zuixianglou, as its name suggests, focuses on wine, while Qianweizhai mainly pays attention to the taste of food.

The two chose to go to Qianweizhai, which is located on the west side of the central street.

As soon as he arrived at Qianweizhai, a man hurried out and bumped into Su Mu.

Su Yuanshan hurried over to check on Su Mu's condition. "How is it? Is there anyone injured?"

"Brother, it's okay. I'm fine."

"I'm really sorry, young lady." A man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old looked flustered and very apologetic.

Looking at the man's expression and how hurried he seemed, he didn't take it seriously. He said nothing and walked into the store.

Seeing someone coming in, the waiter quickly greeted: "Excuse me, would you like to eat? In the lobby or in the private room?"

"We don't want to eat, do you sell wild mushrooms here?"

Seeing that the two were not here to eat but to sell things, the waiter remained calm and led the two people.

A man who looked to be in his thirties or forties came out from behind impatiently and looked at the two of them with a happy expression.

"Are you here to sell mushrooms? Do you have porcini?"

Su Yuanshan and Su Mu were both very confused.

"There are a few black boletus and a lot of chicken mushrooms."

"Great! You guys have solved my urgent problem."

Only then did I realize that there was a distinguished guest upstairs who came to eat and insisted on ordering black porcini.

This thing is hard to find in this season. The guy upstairs is a wealthy man and he must eat this mushroom today no matter how much it costs.

He immediately sent people to the market to look for it to see if anyone was selling it.

Seeing that the porcini and chicken mushrooms in the basket were very fresh and of excellent quality, and there were also many day lilies next to them, the man felt relieved.

"I'm the manager of this restaurant. My last name is Xu. These mushrooms are of excellent quality. I also want all the day lilies."

The male protagonist called the waiter to weigh the item.

"These black boletus mushrooms weigh less than one jin, but they are of excellent quality and hard to find. I'll give them to you for 200 wen. These chicken mushrooms weigh a full five jin, one jin for 120 wen, a total of 600 wen."

"As for these day lilies, I won't weigh them. You helped me out of my urgent need, so I'll give you one or two taels of silver." The man was very generous.

Su Mu was shocked!

Su Yuanshan was also shocked!

Are these mushrooms so expensive? The current price of pork is 25 wen per pound, and these mushrooms are as expensive as several pounds of meat.

This is just one or two taels of silver?

Su Yuanshan said: "This is not possible, this is too much."

"It's okay. You solved my urgent problem and that's what I deserve."

The two had no choice but to accept and thank him again.

After they went out, the brother and sister looked at each other, their faces were almost smiling, and their pace revealed happiness.

"I make money, I make money, but I don't know how to spend it~" Su Mu happily hummed a tuneless song.

Seeing his sister so happy, Su Yuanshan felt happy too: "Shall I take you around again?"

"it is good!"

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I can buy some cloth with the money I have and buy some clothes for my family.

Mother Wang is very skilled in making clothes. The stitches are fine and the embroidered flowers are lifelike and vivid.

When we arrived at the cloth shop, we saw a wide variety of cloth, including all kinds of silks and satins.

These cloths are not what Su Mu wanted.

The main reason is that they can't afford it. Silk and satin are very expensive, and a piece of silk costs one tael of silver. Other fabrics with complex craftsmanship are even more expensive.

Su Mu bought a piece of linen, which was just right for this season, as it was very breathable. A piece of linen cost only 100 coins, and could be used to make several sets of clothes.

Thinking back to yesterday's meal and what my third brother said, I'll go buy some meat. If I have more money, I can improve my home a little bit and let my family eat better.

The brother and sister walked towards the meat market, and heard the sound of horse hooves passing by.

Looking in the direction of the horse's hooves sound, I saw a tall red horse with a sturdy physique and light steps.

Sitting on the horse was a man in a black robe, with long hair tied up high with a ribbon, a slender figure and a handsome face. When the man was about to disappear, he seemed to glance in their direction.

Su Mu thought to himself, this person is so good-looking!

Su Yuanshan and Su Mu continued to walk forward and went straight to a meat stall.

"The meat stand in front is very affordable, the weight is not too bad, and the meat is very fresh."

When I arrived at the meat stall, I found that the meat was indeed of good quality. The pork was shiny, the fat was white and firm, and the lean meat was bright red.

"Miss, would you like to buy some meat? Come and take a look. Our meat is very fresh."

"How much does meat cost now?"

"Pork is 25 yuan per pound. Offal is cheaper, but it's also meat, so it's 15 yuan per pound. Mutton is very expensive, 60 yuan per pound."

Many people who don’t have money to buy meat usually choose to buy some offal to eat. After all, it is meat with oil and fat. Even pig offal is not available often, after all, there is only one piece of a pig.

Who would dislike these things when you can eat meat?
