Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

The two children quarreled for a long time, but in the end no one could decide what the boy's name should be.

However, the boy looks to be about the same age as Ercheng, so calling him Wucheng is really not appropriate.

“I thought of one, how about calling him Ye Chao?

Ye Chao represents vitality and hope for the future.

The days to come will get better and better. Forget the unhappy things in the past. The road ahead is full of sunshine and vitality.

Do you think it's good?"

Shanshan and Sicheng seemed to understand what was said and did not answer.

The boy suddenly said, "Ye Chao! I like this name."

Since the boy liked it, it was natural to decide on it.

The two children also happily called Ye Chao brother, and were no longer awkward like before.

The happy smile also made Ye Chao feel more at ease. He would occasionally smile and was no longer so tense.

Xia Shengsheng brought a few children to Ning'an Prefecture, paid the entrance fee, and asked around before finding a furniture shop.

Xia Shengsheng handed the drawings he had drawn in advance to the carpenter in the shop.

The carpenter looked at it carefully and said it could be done, which made Xia Shengsheng finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It’s better to have a big place! Unlike a small place, you can’t even make slightly complicated furniture.

Xia Shengsheng ordered six large wardrobes, one for each person, and originally planned to have a fifth one.

Now there is a new member in the family. Although I don’t know how long he can live with us, he must have what other children have and cannot be treated differently.

The six large wardrobes have different patterns and styles.

Xia Shengsheng's wardrobe is designed with the pattern of a hermit.

When she was studying ancient Chinese history, she particularly liked the scenes of hermits carrying their musical instruments to visit friends and chanting in the mountains.

This time, such a scene is carved on the wardrobe, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when looking at it.

The two girls' wardrobes are decorated with patterns of flowers, birds and fish.

The boys wore some simple and elegant cloud patterns, plus bamboo patterns.

Xia Shengsheng also customized three dressing tables, three large bookcases, an embroidery frame, several exquisite small cabinets, two shelves for decorative items, and more!

The things in the city are good, and the craftsmanship of the carpenters is also good, but the prices are much higher.

All these things add up to eight taels and seven cents.

Xia Shengsheng paid half of the deposit, and the rest of the things would take at least a month to be produced.

When the products are finished, Xia Shengsheng doesn't need to come to pick them up. The people in the shop will deliver them to Kaoshan Village, and he will settle the remaining money then.

Having arranged the important matters, Xia Shengsheng was not in a hurry to go back.

I plan to take a few children to a small restaurant for dinner, and then take them for a walk after dinner.

Then we went back to the town to buy food. The food in the town was not much different from that in the capital.

Things like black noodles and brown rice have the same price, four or five cents per pound.

But the refined rice and flour are one or two cents cheaper per pound.

Moreover, it is closer to pull the food back from the town, and the donkey can save some energy.

On the way to the restaurant, by chance, I met a man selling a sheep, a ewe with a lamb.

Because he needed the money urgently, he couldn't wait until the sheep gave birth before selling them.

Xia Shengsheng spent four taels of silver to buy it.

Normally a sheep sells for around two taels.

But this ewe has a calf and produces milk, so the price is higher.

Xia Shengsheng thought it was quite reasonable. If the baby was born, he could sell it for some money, so he paid for it.

It was not convenient to carry the donkey cart and sheep to the market, so they were temporarily left at the furniture factory.

Several people walked to the restaurant.

At the restaurant, Xia Shengsheng ordered a braised fish, a dish of braised green beans, and four bowls of noodles.

Most vegetables are not harvested yet, so the price of vegetables sold in restaurants is almost as high as the price of meat, which is really expensive.

"Mom, I don't think this dish is as delicious as the one you cooked." Sicheng said softly with his hand covering his mouth. After he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at the owner of the restaurant, as if he was doing something sneaky.

"Of course, it doesn't matter who your mother is!"

Xia Shengsheng was not polite at all. In fact, the food in this small restaurant was really delicious.

Xia Shengsheng is not a famous chef, and the food he cooks tastes okay, but if you compare the taste of these two dishes alone with that of the restaurant, they really can't compare.

It’s just that Xia Shengsheng would occasionally cook some food that is not available now, which would make people’s eyes light up and form a unique memory.

I think Xia Shengsheng’s cooking is especially delicious.

Since Ye Chao woke up, he had only eaten the porridge fed by Xia Shengsheng. The taste of the porridge was ordinary, but he thought it was the most delicious thing in the world, so at this moment he deeply agreed with what Sicheng said.

A few people were eating happily when a few young men came in from outside.

They all had big swords on their waists and wore uniform clothes. After sitting down, except for one person who ordered the dishes, everyone else sat there straight without saying a word.

The air pressure in the room suddenly became very low.

Xia Shengsheng was not affected at all.

But some children are different.

Shanshan and Sicheng were a little scared and ate their meal with some trepidation.

There was no trace of the relaxed and happy look just now.

Ye Chao looked at those men with a somewhat different look in his eyes.

His breath suddenly became very heavy, and there seemed to be a look in his eyes that looked like hatred and fear.

Xia Shengsheng could sense Ye Chao's breath, and naturally the several men sitting not far away could also sense it.

When they looked back, Ye Chao suddenly lowered his head subconsciously.

Ye Chao didn't understand why he was like this.

Xia Shengsheng noticed that there were several people behind him who might be bringing danger.

He put the silver on the table, pretended to be unintentional, and left with the children.

Shanshan and Sicheng didn’t understand why he wanted to leave suddenly?

But because he was a little scared, even the most delicious food didn't enjoy his appetite. He just followed Xia Shengsheng obediently without asking any questions.

The men sitting in the back followed him with their eyes.

The person who ordered the food first, when he saw Xia Shengsheng was about to disappear, winked at the two people next to him, and the two people nodded and followed him.

After Xia Shengsheng brought a few children out, they quickly turned into an alley.

Xia Shengsheng has driven through this alley before.

The back entrance of a clothing store is here.

Xia Shengsheng and a few children walked through it, and the owner of the clothing store was startled.

"Ouch! How did you get in from the back?"

Xia Shengsheng didn't say much, he took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over.

Seeing this, the proprietress just glanced towards the back door and said nothing. She waved her hand and told Xia Shengsheng and the others to leave quickly.

Xia Shengsheng pulled Shanshan and Sicheng, turned around and asked Ye Chao to follow.

After going out, I didn't leave the city directly. The donkey cart was still stored at the furniture factory, so I had to go back and get it.

Moreover, as a woman with three children, she was too obvious a target.

You have to get rid of the tail behind you.

I looked at the dumpling restaurant not far away.

I brought the children over, ordered two servings of dumplings, paid the boss, explained that I was going out to buy some things, and asked him to help look after the children. The boss readily agreed.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Ye Chao grabbed Xia Shengsheng's hand.

Seeing that Ye Chao didn't want her to go, Xia Shengsheng patted his hands gently to comfort him. Her firm look made Ye Chao feel relieved and he slowly let go of Xia Shengsheng's hand.

"Mom, be careful..."

All the worries in my heart turned into just that one sentence.

Shanshan and Sicheng didn't understand what was going on. They just thought that their mother was afraid of those people, so she left early.

I was afraid that they didn’t have enough to eat, so I brought them to this dumpling restaurant.

As for what to buy now? Mother didn't say, and they didn't ask, they just thought she was missing some ordinary things.
