Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Zhao Yuanzhen planned to go out for a walk with a backpack on her back.

Ask them if they need anything or if anyone wants to go with them.

They all said there was no need and didn't go with us.

Zhao Yuanzhen had no choice but to go by herself.

She walked towards the main street with her backpack on her back. She didn't really want to buy anything. She just walked and looked around.

When I walked to the main street, there were not many people and it was quite deserted. I guess it was because it was going to snow.

She looked at the cloth shop, thinking about buying some more cotton and cloth so that she could make two more quilts.

She collected it at the county magistrate's mansion, and she didn't want to use it.

When she entered the cloth shop, a young lady dressed as a woman came to greet her.

"Madam, please come in, what can I do for you?"

"Give me 20 pounds of cotton, and then look at the cloth."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. This was a big customer who wanted 20 kilograms of cotton at once.

After a while, he came out with a few bundles of cotton.

"My dear, look, this is all good cotton, very white. 75 cents a pound."

"Okay, let me see the lining and cover of the quilt. They have to be cotton."

Cotton is 5 cents per pound more expensive than in their county.

But it is understandable, it was summer then and the weather was hot. Now it is winter and the temperature has dropped.

"Okay, can we use this light green cotton cloth inside?" the shopkeeper said while holding a piece of cloth.

"Yes, sure. I'll give you one of these."

"Can I use this navy blue cover cloth?" The shopkeeper recommended a stain-resistant color that everyone liked.

Zhao Yuanzhen doesn't like this color very much.

I changed it to a lavender muslin. I asked for a piece.

The shopkeeper immediately helped to pack up.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked around to see if there was anything else needed.

I thought that Zhang Qingyan came out empty-handed, without clothes, shoes or socks.

"Give me another piece of fine cotton cloth, also lavender. And two pairs of shoes that are slightly larger than mine." This piece of cloth, plus the leftovers from making the quilt, could be used to make two sets of underwear for each of them.

They made their own socks, and had enough leftover cloth from making clothes.

"By the way, give me a set of embroidery thread and needles." These were also given to Zhang Qingyan.

"Two more leather wraps."

This is for Zhang Qingyan to use to pack her own things.

The shopkeeper smiled as he took the things. Today is really my lucky day!

Zhao Yuanzhen took a look and found that there was nothing left, so she started to pay the bill.

"The fine cotton cloth is 1100 wen per piece, two batches are equal to wen, the cotton cloth is 900 wen per piece, and there are 20 jin of cotton, 75 wen per jin, totaling 1500 wen. The shoes are 30 wen per pair, 60 for two pairs, and 200 wen for a set of embroidery needles and thread, after all, our thread has all the colors. These two packages of cloth, count as my match for you, total 4860 wen, you can just give me 4850."

The shopkeeper touched it a little more.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out five taels of silver and handed it to her.

Then the shopkeeper wrapped all these things in leather cloth and helped put them into Zhao Yuanzhen's backpack.

Zhao Yuanzhen said hello and left.

Go out and continue wandering around.

Seeing the dental shop, Zhao Yuanzhen planned to buy some tooth powder and toothbrush.

"Boss, do you have a toothbrush?" The boss was busy with something and didn't see her come in, so Zhao Yuanzhen had to ask.

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper quickly looked up and greeted the guests.

"Toothbrushes are made of wood, bamboo, bone, and horn. The hairs are made of pig hair and horse hair. Which one do you need?"

"I want eight bamboo horsehair ones. And some tooth powder."

"Okay, tooth powders include green salt and poria cocos. Which one do you want?"

"Give me 8 boxes of Fuling."

"Okay, this wooden horsehair toothbrush is 300 wen each, and the tooth powder is 450 wen a box. The total is 6000 wen." The shopkeeper smiled.

Zhao Yuanzhen handed over the silver.

The shopkeeper gave me two bath beans at the end.

Zhao Yuanzhen expressed his gratitude and left.

Shopkeeper: No, don't you want to buy some bath beans? I'm hinting at this clearly.

Zhao Yuanzhen said, I have soap.

Continue strolling.

After shopping, I didn't find anything to buy, so I bought 10 candied haws and went home. Each candied haws cost 8 cents.

I've only been out for an hour, and it's only a little after 1 o'clock.

Zhao Yuanzhen gave one candied haws to each of them, and asked Zhang Xinshu to give the remaining two to Zhang Sandao and Sun Zhang.

When she returned, Zhang Xinbai and the others had already returned.

I paid another tael of silver to change the carriage. I got a carriage of the same size as before, but in a different color.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a look and expressed her satisfaction.

He went into the house and took out various fabrics and handed them to Qian Xiaohui.

She handed the shoes and embroidery thread and needle she bought for Zhang Qingyan.

The toothbrush and toothpaste were handed to Li Zhijuan, who was asked to distribute some to everyone.

Tell them to make two quilts for themselves, one with 6 kilograms of cotton and the other with 8 kilograms of cotton.

Then make two days of underwear for each person. Make socks with the rest. Make as many pairs as you can. Share them among everyone.

Finally, all the wrappings were given to Zhang Qingyan.

He then took out the gold leaves and gold threads that he had been allocated before, as well as the bag of money, and handed them to Zhang Qingyan.

Let her sew gold thread and gold leaves into her clothes, and put away the visible purse.

Zhang Qingyan said she didn't want anything. She ate and drank for free, so how could she get more money?

Zhao Yuanzhen could only say that this was a loan to her and the money would be deducted from her salary in the future.

Zhang Qingyan still didn't want it. She didn't want a salary, but her second sister-in-law was willing to take her in and treat her and her children equally well. This was a blessing from heaven. How could she be such a greedy person?

Finally, Zhao Yuanzhen said with a stern face that this was an order. Zhang Qingyan accepted it nervously.

Since Zhao Yuanzhen gave her the loyalty pill, she was considered her own. She must be nurtured and cared for.

There will be a lot of people to hire in the future. This little investment is nothing.

Several women were doing needlework all afternoon.

Make the quilt for mother first.

Then I made inner clothes for my aunt, and finally for them.

The three people had clear division of labor: Qian Xiaohui cut the cloth, Li Zhijuan stuffed the cotton, and Zhang Qingyan made the quilts.

Two quilts were completed in less than an hour.

Then we start cutting the lining. There are two colors of fabric. The lavender is washed cotton, which is used for the lining, so it is comfortable to wear.

When it was time to cook dinner in the evening, Qian Xiaohui went to prepare dinner while Li Zhijuan and Zhang Qingyan continued to make clothes. It was warm in the house today and they could light oil lamps. They hurried to make clothes while the conditions were good.

Zhao Yuanzhen packed all the things that were unloaded when she was going to change the carriage into the space. She planned to take them out tomorrow morning, otherwise it would be too crowded.

Then he went out to prepare the new carriage.

The new carriages were all on couches, and there were no cushions. Zhao Yuanzhen planned to wait until later to see if they had time to make some cushions.

Then I bought a small table and put it in the car. I went back to clean up and washed some fruits and put them over.

From now on, Zhang Xinbai and Zhang Xinnian can just eat in this carriage.

At night, this carriage was used for the women to sleep.

Then I went to get some food for Qian Xiaohui. It was cold, so it was perfect to have some hotpot.

Let's have a Chinese cabbage and tofu stew, a lamb and carrot stew, and a winter melon meatball soup. And some steamed buns.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a cabbage, tofu, pork belly, white radish, winter melon and mutton.

Tell Qian Xiaohui what you want to eat.

She took the ingredients handed to her by her mother with a smile.

First wash the pork belly, cut off a piece, then cut it into small cubes, and chop it into stuffing with a knife.

Put the minced meat into a bowl, add salt, soy sauce, a handful of buckwheat, and some minced garlic. Add two eggs. Stir evenly in a clockwise direction and set aside.

Then wash the cabbage and cut it into pieces, cut the tofu into pieces, slice the pork belly, and cut some green onions, ginger and garlic.

Qian Xiaohui specially found a large casserole.

Heat the pan with oil, add the pork belly, stir-fry until the fat comes out, add the onion, ginger and garlic, then add the cabbage, stir-fry until fragrant, and add soy sauce to embellish. Add boiling water to cover the ingredients, and finally add the tofu and appropriate amount of salt. Simmer for half an hour.

This casserole pot is stewed with cabbage and pork belly.

She then took out the fresh mutton, cleaned it, and cut it into thin slices. She also cut the white radish into thin slices.

Put water in the pot and bring it to a boil, put the mutton slices in to filter out the blood and blood foam. Then quickly remove them.

Add oil to the pan, add chopped green onion and stir-fry until fragrant, add water, salt and pepper to the water. Add white radish slices. When the white radish slices are cooked, add the mutton slices.

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. You can then serve it in the same large bowl you used to eat Maoxuewang last time.

Wash the winter melon, remove the seeds and slice it.

Finally, add lard to a hot pan, then add winter melon and fry until the slices become transparent. Add chopped green onion and fry until fragrant, then add hot water. Then take the meat filling.

Roll into small balls and put them into the winter melon soup one by one.

When the meatballs are cooked, they can be served.

After the two dishes here are ready, the cabbage and tofu casserole is also stewed.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out the steamed buns and Qian Xiaohui started to serve the meal.

The weather was cold, so we put the meal in the house.

Everyone smelled the fragrant pot, boiled mutton, and round meatballs, and their appetites were great.

Zhao Yuanzhen sat down and everyone started eating.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much and felt warm after finishing it.

While Qian Xiaohui went to wash the dishes, Li Zhijuan and Zhang Qingyan hurried to make all the clothes.

Then a few of them went to practice swordplay.

I haven't bought a sword for Zhang Qingyan yet. I plan to wait until her swordsmanship improves.

Zhao Yuanzhen has completed her studies of Chinese medicine.

Get ready to take their pulses and check their health in a while.

Now start learning the bow and arrow.

The six arts of a gentleman are: rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Li refers to etiquette and rules, music refers to the guqin, and shen refers to archery. There are five standards including Baishi, Canlian, and Jingyi.

Yu means driving, knowing how to drive.

Book refers to calligraphy.

Numbers are the art of divination, which not only refers to calculation and arithmetic, but also refers to rational numbers and destiny.

Now Zhang Xinshu and Zhang Zijin can only be considered to have mastered half of the six arts, including calligraphy, chariot driving and mathematics.

Once you settle down, you still need to find a specialized teacher to teach you, especially about etiquette and music.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't plan to teach them, so she let them learn from the teacher. After all, there was no difference in understanding the rituals and music of women and men.

Although she is a lady from a wealthy family and is very good at etiquette and music.

Bows and arrows require 12W. Advanced archery.

Zhao Yuanzhen waved his hand and bought it.
