Chapter 146 Getting along with each other every day
Father Liu nodded slightly, took out a piece of silver wrapped tightly in cloth from the pocket inside his lapel, and handed it to the stall owner.
The stall owner skillfully took the silver, weighed it on the copper scale at hand, and found some change and copper coins to hand to Liu's father. At the same time, he carefully wrapped the steaming cornmeal buns, the sweet and fragrant osmanthus cake, and the soft and delicious chestnut cake with oil paper and handed them to Liu's father.
Osmanthus cake and chestnut cake just have a little bit of decoration and are actually not much different from steamed buns.
But after all, it is a thing of this era. It is convenient for them to buy it and eat it on the way tomorrow.
Plus, there were really few good things in this dynasty, especially when supplies were in short supply, so it was good enough to be able to buy something.
Many stores were still closed. Father Liu asked, "Boss, have you ordered?"
"It's all ready. It's exactly 240 wen. Take your order! Bye!"
Father Liu took the package and left only after the boss spoke. Luo Hong, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed:
"Brother Liu, let's try one first. We're hungry after walking all morning!"
After hearing what he said, Father Liu also felt a little hungry. He didn't care whether they were eating alone or not, so he took out one and started eating:
"Okay, eat it. I'll have one too, and Wei Zhong will have one too!"
Father Liu put the remaining cakes on the mule cart together with the things he had bought earlier.
Although the wind is cold, the temperature of the pastry in my hand seems to dispel all the coldness.
The three grown men ate as they walked. They finished their meal quickly in two big mouthfuls and continued walking back, pulling the mule cart.
"It's delicious, but it looks so big, I can't resist chewing it! It's gone in two bites!"
"It's steamed very fluffy, otherwise how can they make money? Food is so expensive now!"
"makes sense!"
"I just took this back for show. My granddaughter Xiaolu has a lot of steamed buns and flower rolls that we made before. We consumed some along the way, so there should be quite a few left. Now that conditions are better, we can take them out occasionally to satisfy our hunger.
When we pass by the county town, we can also say that we bought it in the county town. When we go back, we can ask her to take some out and say that we bought it this time to eat on the way tomorrow. "
"We collected relatively few prepared foods, many of which needed to be cooked, or snacks like candy and chips. My grandson also collected a lot of toys and I had no way to deal with it."
"He's still young, so it's normal for him to like playing. Maybe the toys will come in handy in the future!"
"Keyu is still the same, but he is much more sensible now. I actually think he was better when he was not so sensible before!"
"Yes, poor people have to take care of themselves early. Only after experiencing hardships do we know how wonderful life was back then. However, after coming here, I am really satisfied to meet you. I think the road ahead will definitely become smoother and smoother.
In the future, I will raise my children well and let them live a peaceful and stable life."
The other two agreed: "Of course, there's nothing left to buy, so let's go home!"
On the way back, two of the three men, who were in their fifties or sixties, were thinking that they must learn to drive after they get on the road, otherwise it would be too frustrating to have to lead a mule instead of a car.
If Lin Weizhong knew what they were thinking, he would definitely complain about them, because he was the one pulling the donkey cart in front.
Despite this, the two old men of similar age were still happily chatting as they walked. Although they have not retired in modern times at their age, they will not be away for long.
In this dynasty, people of their age are considered old men.
After all, at this time many people become grandfathers in their forties, and the average age is only in their sixties, and those over seventy are considered to be very old.
By the time they pulled the mule cart back home, it was already getting dark and a candle was lit in the house.
People of this era either used candles or made their own oil lamps. Oil lamps were too troublesome for them, so buying some candles was just right.
expensive.
Of course, I didn’t use it very often. Most of the time I just lit a bonfire when I was on the road. It was only after I came to this yard that I started using candles.
I only light candles when I have something to do at night. Most of the time I go to bed early and get up early.
After the three of them arrived home, Liu Hao came to open the door. When Liu's father saw Liu Hao, he said directly: "Haozi, come out and help lift the carriage."
The others were helpless about the fact that Liu's father gave nicknames to them, the younger generations.
The reason given by Liu's father was that this would bring them closer together and make them seem more intimate.
Their farmyard has a threshold, unlike some wealthy families which have a special side door that can directly pull the carriage in and help lift the rear carriage to make less noise.
"Uncle Liu, go in and rest, I'll do it!"
Luo Hong was a little unhappy when he saw Father Liu calling for help: "Why are you calling for help? I'm very strong. Wei Zhong and I can handle it. You can just go in by yourself!"
Father Liu smiled helplessly, and walked straight into the house without caring what the three of them did. "Yes, yes, you are amazing. Thank you for your effort. I will go ahead first."
After he left, Lin Weizhong led the ox cart into the house. Luo Hong gently lifted the rear carriage, and the wheels easily rolled over the threshold. After all the mule carts had gone in, Liu Hao, who wanted to help, had not yet reacted. The mule carts had already gone in. He was at the back and had to close the door silently.
He always felt a little redundant in front of Uncle Luo.
After looking at Lin Weizhong in front of him, he also didn't understand why the man was so natural.
He shook his head, leaned over to look at the new mule cart, touched the back carriage, and sighed:
"Uncle Luo, this carriage is great. It looks much better than the previous one."
"Isn't it? Don't you see the price? It's a lot more expensive. You get what you pay for!"
Father Liu stood at the door and watched them. He also found it funny that they had to look at just one carriage for so long. He couldn't help but explain, "It's cold now, so I thought the children could sit inside to keep warm. Okay, let's clean up and eat."
"Uncle Liu is really thoughtful!"
Liu Hao flattered him and went into the house happily.
"Hasn't your uncle Luo thought of it?"
It's so cute to see the two old guys bickering over jealousy.
Liu Hao hadn't walked a few steps when he heard Luo Hong's words. He immediately turned around and said flatteringly, "Uncle Luo also thought of this. Thanks to you two. If it were someone else, it would definitely not work. Our team still depends on your wisdom and talents!"
The two old men laughed at the same time: "Xiao Lin, it's not good to be a fence-sitter!"
Then he turned to the silent Lin Weizhong and said, "Weizhong, don't learn from some people who are so slick."
"No matter what, it's all from my heart."
Mother Liu interrupted them at this time: "Alright, alright, hurry up and eat something, rest early, and set off early tomorrow. Once the city gate opens, we will leave the city!"
The interrupted people separated immediately. Luo Hong took the bowl from Qi Xin and said:
"My wife is still gentle."
"Wait for the old woman to come out, and then you can tell her in person."
"I won't say anything, eating can shut my mouth!"
The two of them childishly took turns eating big mouthfuls, and soon finished the bowl of wild vegetable and chestnut porridge, and also ate two pieces of barbecued meat.
He took a bite of the dried meat and sighed, "If only I had two ounces of wine!"
"Yeah, I'm so greedy!"
A powerful alto voice interrupted their reverie: "Wash the dishes and go to bed!"
"understood!"
The two old men rinsed the bowls with water, and the greaseless dishes were clean in an instant. They put the bowls in a basin specially used for dishes, washed their faces with some hot water left in the kitchen, simply rinsed their feet, and then went back to their room to rest in dejection.
Have a good night's sleep!
