After coming out of Baiyaotang, Tangli took the two children for a walk in the market and bought a lot of things for the two babies.
There is a rouge shop at the innermost part of the market. Because there has been no business for most of the day, the owner of the rouge shop looks a little worried.
As Tang Li entered, the shopkeeper was immediately delighted and came forward to greet her, saying enthusiastically, "Madam, would you like to buy some rouge?"
Tangli nodded: "Let me take a look."
The shop owner was a young girl who obviously cherished her only customer and followed her closely.
Tang Li saw a box of rouge with exquisite packaging: "Can I see this?"
The shop owner immediately took off the rouge and handed it to Tangli: "Take a look."
Tang Li opened it and took a look. It was a wooden box with plum blossoms printed on it. The packaging was elegant. When he opened it, he could smell the faint fragrance of osmanthus. "I'll take this one."
The shop owner smiled and said, "Madam, you are too fair. This rouge color doesn't suit you."
"Then what is suitable for me?" Tang Li asked.
The shopkeeper pulled out a box of rouge from the cabinet below: "This one will suit your skin tone."
"How much silver is this?" Tang Li asked.
"One hundred wen."
"What about that one just now?"
"That one costs one or two."
"You'll make more money selling that to me, right?"
The shop owner smiled and said, "But that's not suitable for you. I can't just think about making money, right?"
Businesspeople are all about profit, especially when there is little business, so they want to seize this sole customer and make the most of him. As a result, this shop owner is still so honest.
Tang Li thought the shop owner was very interesting. After chatting with her for a few minutes, he learned that her surname was Lu and her name was Lu Qing.
"Don't look at my Baoqing Pavilion as deserted. It used to be the largest rouge shop in Yaoshui Town!" Lu Qing's tone was full of pride.
Then, as if he thought of something, his pride disappeared and his eyes were full of loss.
This was a girl with a story, but the two of them were not familiar enough to have a heart-to-heart talk, so Tang Li did not ask much.
Tangli finally chose a few boxes of expensive rouge.
"I don't use this rouge for myself, I give it to others. Of course it has to be of good quality." Tang Li said.
"That's right! Then I'll help you wrap it up to make it look nicer."
Lu Qing was thoughtful enough to tell Tangli which rouge was best for which skin type. When giving a gift, it's not just about being expensive, it also has to be satisfying.
Lu Qing sold five taels of silver in one afternoon. This was the only business he had sold in the past half month!
Lu Qing held the five taels of silver in his hands, feeling indescribably happy.
…
At noon, Tangli took the two babies to the most famous restaurant in town - Shuiyuexuan.
Shuiyuexuan is built on the riverside, with willows planted at the door, which has a strong Jiangnan flavor.
Tangli looked over the menu. This restaurant's cuisine was more Cantonese. She ordered two signature dishes and added some baby-friendly dishes like egg custard and sweet dumplings.
After placing the order, Tangli looked around.
"Mom, do you want to open a restaurant?" Erbao supported his chin and stared at Tangli with his round eyes.
Tangli was a little surprised. Erbao actually figured it out? How smart!
She really wanted to start another business. With Madam Su and Doctor Su running the medicine bag factory, she had little time left, so she wanted to find another business. She certainly wouldn't complain about having too much money. After Dabao passed the imperial examination, they would have to move to the capital, so this money was the foundation. Of course, the more money, the better.
Tangli pinched his chubby face and said, "Yeah, what do you think, baby?"
"People in this town earn less money, and the vegetables cannot be sold at a good price. Mother's cooking skills will be wasted and it will be very tiring. If we hire someone to cook, there are too many restaurants and it will be difficult to stand out. Mother, I have an idea. Can we find a more secluded place, raise some live chickens and ducks, grow some vegetables, and let people come to choose the vegetables?" The second baby's voice was childish, but what he said shocked Tangli.
This is a farm stay!
Is Erbaobao only six years old so creative? And so avant-garde!
He is indeed a future business genius!
"Second baby's idea is very good. Mom will consider it." Tang Li touched his head and said.
Erbao was also very happy when he received praise.
He clenched his little fists tightly, thinking that he must come up with more ideas so that his mother would praise him!
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the window.
Tangli looked outside and saw a group of soldiers passing by.
There was no government office in Yaoshui Town, and officials were rarely seen. Therefore, the appearance of soldiers was a strange sight, and everyone craned their heads to look outside.
"Why are there so many soldiers here? Did something happen?"
"They're posting notices. I just saw them. They want to arrest a fugitive. I don't know what crime he committed."
"My brother-in-law works in the county and has better information. I heard that a criminal escaped from prison and ran to Yaoshui Town."
"What kind of murderer is this? What crime did he commit? Did he kill anyone?" There was fear in the man's voice.
If a murderer who kills without blinking an eye enters Yaoshui Town, it means that everyone in Yaoshui Town is in danger.
"Yes, he killed the Qinghe County governor and his son with a single sword strike. How cruel! Moreover, he was also an exceptional escape artist. He actually evaded the pursuers and escaped from Qinghe County!"
"Such a dangerous person actually escaped to our Yaoshui Town? Could he be hiding in someone's house?"
"Hurry back and close the door tightly. If this guy hides in someone's house, he might kill people to silence them if he gets angry."
"I hope the officers and soldiers can quickly catch this villain!"
There was panic in everyone's voice.
Some of those who had wives and children at home could not sit still and put down their bowls and chopsticks and rushed home.
Tang Li frowned, took the matter to heart, took the two babies to eat, and then went home.
I took a look at the notice on the way. The person on the notice looked ferocious and scary.
Although it is not such a coincidence, it is better to be cautious when taking care of two children.
Tangli arrived at the door of his house and took a closer look. The gate to the yard was tightly closed. He looked at the walls on both sides and saw no signs of climbing. Tangli breathed a sigh of relief and bolted the door as soon as he entered.
Tang Li did not buy rouge as a gift, but to research it for herself. She wanted to do business in rouge, so naturally she had to understand the rouge on the market.
The two babies watched Tangli tinkering with it curiously.
Before he knew it, it was dark and Tangli went into the kitchen to cook.
After preparing the meal and feeding the two babies, she gave the two chubby babies a bath, tucked them into bed, and went into her room.
As soon as he entered the room, Tang Li felt something was wrong.
She smelled blood, faintly, but definitely there.
Tang Li frowned and was about to pretend nothing happened and go out...
Suddenly, a cold, tall body pressed against her back, her mouth was covered, and something cold was pressed against her neck.
The other party's murderous aura was so strong that it was like a poisonous snake entwining her.
