Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

Seeing the two sisters-in-law so surprised, the shopkeeper kindly explained: "Because it takes more time to wrap the flowers, and the beads on it are either pearls or agate cinnabar, etc., which are all high-quality products, so they are naturally more expensive."

Moreover, each of these flowers is drawn by their girls themselves, and they make the samples themselves. The hairpin girls behind them learn from them. Each style is exquisite in its own way, and they also clearly mark the prices to ensure they don't cheat their customers.

Li'er took another look and found that it was true. It looked like it took a lot of effort to wrap the flowers, so it was no wonder that they were sold at such a high price.

In the end, the two bought a few silk flowers.

After leaving the Beauty Shop, Li'er took Ruo'er to the restaurant.

As she walked, she complained: "Why is the market so far away? It takes so long to walk there. These people are so stupid. If I have money in the future, I will open a supermarket so that everyone won't have to walk so far."

"Supermarket?" Ruo'er was puzzled.

Speaking of this, Li'er was very proud, "A supermarket is a big store with all kinds of things in it, including food, clothes, jewelry... everything you need!"

Ruo'er was speechless after hearing this, and said coldly: "Then you are breaking the law."

"Ah?!" Li'er was puzzled.

Seeing that she didn't understand anything, Ruo'er felt tired and speechless. She explained tiredly: "There are laws that stipulate that things must be sold separately. Only the same type of goods can be sold on one street. For example, teahouses sell tea, and restaurants sell meals. This makes it easier for government management."

"Is that so?" Li'er was stunned.

Damn, I’m so angry. She also said that she has thought of another way to get rich quickly!

Li Er looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighed, "Well, let's just open a hot pot restaurant."

"Hot pot? What is this?"

"It means putting the vegetables in the soup pot and boiling them, then taking them out and eating them while they are being cooked."

"What's so strange about this? Isn't this what we eat in winter?"

"What?! Impossible!" Li'er didn't believe it at all.

Hotpot, it's a must-have for time travelers to get rich, how could it have existed long ago?

"Believe it or not." Ruo'er was too lazy to explain more.

Li Er didn’t know that the prototype of hotpot actually appeared in the Han Dynasty…

Maybe the only difference is the hot pot base.

Not to mention that the butter used in the ingredients is rare, in this era ordinary people simply cannot kill cows at will. Cows are an important labor force used for farming and are very precious.

The most important ingredient, chili pepper, is even more difficult to make, because chili pepper was not introduced to China until the late Ming Dynasty, and people only started eating it during the Qing Dynasty.

Even if you can use dogwood to replace chili peppers and solve the problem of hot pot base, it may not necessarily make a big fire, because most of the diet in this era is light stews. Who can get used to eating spicy food suddenly?

Seeing that Ruo'er didn't seem to be lying, Li'er fell into self-doubt. She murmured: "Impossible... This is impossible... Absolutely impossible..."

Li'er doubted herself for a long time. Suddenly, her expression froze, "Could it be that there are other travelers who have taken the lead?"

The more Li'er thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Suddenly, Li'er smiled and took Ruo'er's hand, "Ruo'er, take me to eat that hot pot next time."

She wanted to check if any other fellow villagers showed up.

"..."

Ruoer was speechless for a while.

Isn't it just a matter of having a pot and preparing the food?

However, Li'er had never thought about these problems. She only knew that the road to wealth that she had finally discovered had died again.

She is not reconciled!

Never mind. The most important thing right now is how to redeem myself and escape from slavery.

Li'er and Ruo'er, the two sisters-in-law, walked slowly to the restaurant. Ruo'er said, "I heard that there are several shops called Ke Lai Xiang here, and they have stir-fried dishes! Let's go and try some."

"..."

Now it was Li'er's turn to be speechless.

It’s just cooking, who can’t do it? What’s so strange about it?

But she still followed Ruo'er to Ke Lai Xiang. At the door, she saw two big signs erected outside the door -

“Stir-frying: delicious even the Qiongying layperson approves!”

“Stir-fried dishes: delicious even Xunmei Jushi approves!”

Li'er was silent for a moment. She felt that the style of this store was a little familiar...

But at this moment, she was completely attracted by "Layman Qiongying" and "Layman Xunmei", and happily said to Ruoer: "Ruoer Ruoer, is this Layman Xunmei the handsome man in white clothes that I met last time at the Shangsi Festival?"

She remembered that the handsome guy who liked her singing was the heir of the Wang family of Langya, named Wang Wulang, and also had a very famous nickname, Xunmei Jushi.

Ruoer nodded, "It's him."

However, Wang Wulang and Xie Dalang, two famous celebrities of the time, actually praised the stir-fried dishes so much. Could it be that this shop was opened by their acquaintances?

Inexplicably, Ruo'er recalled the seemingly unintentional conversation between Miss Luo and Wang Wulang during the Flower Festival...

In fact, Wang Wulang should also know Ajie, right?

"Ah!" Li'er next to her jumped up happily, "It turns out my idol also likes to eat this dish, hahaha, I must make it for him to try if I have the chance."

Ruo'er, whose thoughts were suddenly interrupted, said: "..."

No, do you really dare to think so?

Cook for Wang Wulang?

What is Wang Wulang’s status, and what is your status?

How did you get the chance to contact him?

Do you really think you can turn things around just because he listened to one of your songs and praised it?

"Hurry up, hurry up, since my idol likes it, I must try it!"

Li'er hurriedly pulled Ru'er into Kelaixiang.

As soon as the two entered, they were seen by Xie Cheng on the second floor.

Xie Cheng stared at the cheerful sister-in-law downstairs, and his hand holding the wine bottle paused.

Then I thought of the strange song sung by the young lady on the Shangsi Festival.

Interesting...

Xie Cheng silently watched the two of them in the lobby on the first floor and found a place to sit down.

Seeing Ruo'er taking off her shoes and kneeling down skillfully, Li'er sighed and sat down on the low couch, saying: "If you ask me, don't your legs feel numb kneeling like this? Can't you just sit down?"

Ruo'er was no longer surprised by this topic, but she still said, "Didn't I tell you before that if you want to sit, you can sit on a Hu bed. There are Hu beds in the building."

Huchuang, a foldable stool similar to a small stool, is something brought over by the Hu people from the name. Although it was sometimes used during this period, the Han people preferred to kneel on it, because kneeling on the couch is a traditional etiquette of the Han people from generation to generation, and the nobles are most particular about it.

The tables, stools and chairs that are familiar to later generations did not become widely used until the Song Dynasty, completely replacing kneeling.
