We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?

Today's important business has been completed, and Cheng Yue is in the mood to prepare household items.

There were too many things missing at home, so she and Chen Lin carried two baskets, which could only hold a limited amount of things.

Food and meat are the most important things, so she decided to buy a little of each and take out the things in the space when she gets home.

The mother and son went straight to the grain shop and bought two pounds of white flour and refined rice each. Cheng Yue spent a few cents and asked the grain shop owner to change to a larger cloth bag.

The owner of the grain shop was puzzled. With only two kilograms of grain, why did he have to use a cloth bag that could hold fifty kilograms? I wonder what he was thinking?

He wears tattered clothes, but he has money to buy refined rice and white flour. He is really weird.

However, since people had bought the food and paid for it, he naturally smiled happily. He didn't want to make a one-time deal.

After buying food, Cheng Yue took Chen Lin directly to the butcher shop.

People nowadays like to eat oily food, not to mention that the family has to refine oil for consumption. Cheng Yue thought about it and bought three pounds of fat meat and two pounds of pork belly, as well as two large bones with meat on them.

There is little meat and bones in the stalk, so it is good to crack it open and cook soup.

She remembered that there was still a lot of frozen pork in the space refrigerator, so she could take it out and eat it.

There were no pots, pans, or utensils at home, so Cheng Yue went to buy seven or eight stoneware bowls of different sizes and two large soup bowls.

After thinking about it, I bought another large clay pot and seven or eight small clay pots. I could just take out the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from the space and pour them into the clay pots. It was just right.

The porcelain bowls in the space have fancy patterns, and it is obvious that they are not from this era. These bowls and pots are all made of coarse pottery. They don’t cost much, so you just buy them.

When the time is right, she will tell Chen An this secret. After all, he can help her cover up. Otherwise, it would be too tiring for her to be so sneaky.

It’s like you have a bowl of braised pork in front of you, but not only can you not eat it, you also have to chew a mouthful of vegetable leaves. Why make things difficult for yourself?

After buying almost everything, Cheng Yue went straight to the fabric shop.

Chen Lin followed Cheng Yue in a daze, not knowing what to say. How much money did his mother spend?

The cloth shops only sell cotton, linen, and silk. After all, it is in a small town and there are few people who can wear silk and satin, so most of the cloth they sell is relatively cheap.

Cheng Yue bought two rolls of fine linen and two rolls of fine cotton. The linen was used for outer clothing and the cotton was used for lining, which was just right.

Finally, I bought five pairs of cloth shoes that I could change into immediately. Straw shoes are very inconvenient to wear and can easily prick your feet.

They also bought some rags and made a pair of shoes for each person to wear.

Cheng Yue asked the cloth shop owner to tie the cloth into two bundles, and then took out a hemp rope and tied it horizontally on the basket. After testing it to make sure it was not heavy, she carried it on her back.

The cloth shop owner originally said that he could deliver the goods to her home, but Cheng Yue refused, as the fuss would only lead to people asking around.

She is not afraid of inquiries, she just finds it troublesome.

When leaving the town, Cheng Yue saw an old lady selling vegetables at a stall. There were only Chinese cabbage, leeks and other things, so she bought some.

I didn't buy any snacks because I had plenty of space. When the time comes, I can just take them out and say I bought them. I guess they won't think too much of it.

The mother and son were carrying two full baskets of things and were inevitably asked about them on the way back to the village. Cheng Yue simply said that they were daily necessities for the new home.

Now that everyone in the village knows that they have divided the family, it is necessary to purchase some household items. No one asked too many questions, they just told Cheng Yue's family to live a good life and to let them know if they need anything.

Most of the people in Houshui Village are relatively simple and honest. Cheng Yue appreciated everyone's kindness, said a few words and then went straight home.

"Mom! Brother, you guys are back!"

Da Ni and Er Ni went out to pick a basket of wild vegetables early in the morning. After washing them, they were about to dry them when they saw Cheng Yue and Chen Lin coming back. They pounced on them with their arms outstretched like two little butterflies.

Seeing the two children laughing happily, Cheng Yue felt relieved. "You look so happy! Mom bought you some delicious food and will give it to you later."

Then he carefully put down the basket. There were quite a few bowls and pots in it. If they were broken, they would be ruined.

Da Ni and Er Ni's eyes curved. Chen Lin also put down the basket and said, "Look, these are all bought by mother. She spent a lot of money."

Da Ni and Er Ni only saw the cloth on top, and after Chen Lin reminded them, they saw that the two baskets were also full.

Mom, how many things did you buy?

"Xiao Lin, don't worry, you still have money to marry a wife."

Cheng Yue looked at Chen Lin's wrinkled face and couldn't help teasing him. As expected, Chen Lin stopped talking, picked up the basket, and sat down next to Chen An with a red face.

Chen An also smiled and asked, "Ayue, did you go to the dock to check today? Is it possible?"

While taking the new shoes out, Cheng Yue explained everything to Chen An in detail.

After listening to this, Chen An nodded and said, "I know Mr. Chen San. He is indeed a very righteous man. Five cents is not a lot of money. Are you sure you want to go?"

Cheng Yue handed the new shoes to Chen An, and asked Chen Lin, Dani and Erni to put them on quickly, then she said, "Of course I have to go. I decided to sell noodles."

With someone in charge, even the five cents is worth it. The lady selling wontons is right, when running a small business, you have to hope for a steady and reliable business.

As for making a lot of money, she is not considering it for the time being. She has to take it slow.

"Noodles?"

Cheng Yue looked at the puzzled eyes of Chen An and the three children. Could it be that they didn’t know?

"It's a kind of noodles. I read about it in a book before. Some are made with buckwheat, some are made with sorghum, and I want to make it with sweet potato noodles."

The yield of buckwheat and sorghum here is low, but there are indeed a lot of sweet potatoes. Almost every household has sweet potato flour, most of which is used to make steamed corn bread.

"Is it delicious, mother?" Erni swallowed and blinked. The girl's eyes were particularly bright when she talked about food.

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Of course it's delicious. I'll make it for you to try and you'll know."

Then he remembered something and asked Chen An: "You need a tool to make noodles. Is there anyone in our village who can do carpentry work?"

Chen An originally felt that he had never heard of it or eaten it before, so he couldn't be of much help and felt a little guilty.

When Cheng Yue asked this, her eyes were immediately filled with smiles: "I can do carpentry work, Ah Yue, can you tell me what kind of tools it is?"

His father was a carpenter, and when he was a child he often followed his father to do carpentry work. But later his father passed away, and his good days were over.

The eldest brother was sweet-spoken and was my mother's favorite. Later, he went to town to find a job, and all the farm work was thrown to him. He was either farming or doing odd jobs, and he no longer had time to fiddle with wood.

"That's great. I'll draw it for you." Cheng Yue said as she went to the kitchen to pick up a piece of charcoal and brought a slate to the door. She drew and gestured while explaining how to use it.

Chen An praised him again and again: "Ayue, you are amazing. You remember it so clearly. Making noodles this way can save a lot of effort and is convenient!"

I remember clearly that it was because her family had a noodle cooking bed, and her grandmother loved to eat noodle and often made it.

The noodle beds I used when I was a child were made of pure wood. When I grew up, they were replaced with machine-made ones, but the principles are the same.
