Chapter 246: One wave has not yet subsided, another wave has risen

So after a few people walked around for a while, they went out to buy the missing furniture. They also had to order the patterns for the missing ones. Several children talked at once and chose, and they spent the whole morning in the carpentry shop.

At noon, several people went out to eat together. After the meal, they went to the small courtyard that Shen Zhuoli had bought.

This courtyard is very close to Liujin Garden. It is not very big, with only three main rooms in total. There is a kitchen in the corner of the courtyard, and there are several osmanthus trees in front of and behind the house.

Shen Zhuoli said embarrassedly, "Isn't it a bit bad? Uncle An said that it's all up to my preferences, and I quite like it. I think too many rooms are useless, so a small one is fine. The size of this osmanthus forest is just right. If I live here and use this room as a study, I can see the small osmanthus forest as soon as I open the window. How nice is that? And if I live in the bedroom, I might even be able to smell the fragrance of the flowers when they bloom."

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "I think it's good too."

Poor woman, she is an uneducated woman and can't say anything except "good, good, good".

But Shen Zhuoli was close to her, and he was very happy when she said that, and said, "Grandma, come in and take a look. I think this kind of place has a sense of being hidden in the city, so there is no need to set up a flower hall. If there are guests, we can use the study to entertain them..."

"Very good!" Madam Lin said seriously, "The new house we built is used as a study to entertain guests!"

As she spoke, she looked outside for help.

Her sons were all surrounding the bookshelf, looking at nothing. Only Tang Qingshan noticed his wife's call for help, walked in slowly, and continued chatting with Shen Zhuoli.

As soon as he took it, his daughter-in-law immediately left him and went to look at the old furniture with her sons.

Although it is said to be old, it is not really that old.

The bookcases at this time were very similar to the antique shelves of later generations. They were not arranged in rows, but staggered, with grids of different sizes and heights. Moreover, these books had a row of cabinets at the bottom. The cabinet in the middle was tall, and the cabinets on both sides were slightly lower. There were two drawers, and the grids had small carvings, which were very delicate. They were all of that dark mahogany color, and were indeed very similar to the ones they bought.

The two large top box cabinets were also intact, with no problems except for some bumps on the corners.

Madam Lin smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, it's pretty good. Do you really not want it?"

Shen Zhuoli replied from the other side: "No, grandma!"

"That's fine," said Madam Lin, "then put two or three of these bookshelves in Rong'er's room. He reads a lot anyway, so we can divide the bookshelves we ordered among the rooms."

Xinbao raised his hand and applied: "I want one."

Madam Lin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay, how about I give you a new one?"

Yan Shenjue couldn't help but say, "Aunt, let me decorate Xinbao and I's room? These bookshelves are too simple, they don't look like what my daughter would use."

Madam Lin looked at him for a few seconds and then smiled: "Okay! Come on! You may not be able to accept our arrangement. You are all elegant people!"

Yan Shenjue coughed lightly and did not refute.

Madam Lin continued, "These two top-box cabinets will be placed in Tang Shitou's room after the deed is completed. With these two big items, we can save a lot of money. I wonder if they came to handle it today?"

"Of course I did," Brother Tang said with a smile, "I went up the mountain early this morning and took a special look at the yard of the village head. His ox cart was not there."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh, "Tang Shitou got a great deal. He must be so happy that he can't sleep. He must have urged the head of the village to come and do it early in the morning."

After he said that, Madam Lin found it more and more funny, and laughed for a long time: "This Tang Shitou is really like what people say, 'Eat well and drink well, and don't plan for a lifetime of poverty.' Look at the things he did!"

A few people were chatting and laughing. Xinbao felt a little sleepy, but didn't want to sleep. He walked around the top cabinet, humming a song.

Yan Shenjue just looked at the silly glutinous rice dumpling, which passed by him again and again, shaking her head and walking happily. After listening carefully, he found that she was singing "Bye-bye donuts, pearl milk tea, instant noodles, hot pot, rice, big plate of chicken..."

Yan Shenjue: “……?”

What kind of doughnut? They all sound like food, but why are there pearls in them? The boy was very confused, so when Tuanzi passed by him again, he took a quick step and walked backwards like he was practicing martial arts, asking, "What are donuts? What are pearl milk teas?"

Xinbao: “…”

Her eyes opened wide.

She was humming the song completely unconsciously, and had no idea that anyone would listen to her.

But she was not panicked at all. After thinking for a while, she said, "Do you want to eat? Xinbao can make it for you!"

Although there is no cassava at the moment, you can use sweet potato flour instead. At most the color will be opaque, but it will still taste very chewy.

Don’t use non-dairy creamer, make the legendary real milk tea with real milk and real tea… However, cow milk is hard to find, so you can try using goat milk, the tea flavor itself can remove the mutton smell.

There are many drinks in the summer, such as sugarcane juice, black plums, sour plums, etc., but in the winter, there are really no warm drinks sold on the street. Everyone only drinks tea. But for the young girls shopping, who can resist the sweet milk tea?

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

You know, "After Laba Festival comes the New Year". After Laba Festival, the streets are extremely lively every day. Even the girls, wives and old ladies who usually stay at home will not be able to help but come out for a walk!

The cup can be replaced by a pottery jar, which can warm your hands when you hold it. The straw can be replaced by straw, bamboo, or reed. In short, there is no major technical difficulty, so you can give it a try! The more Xinbao thought about it, the more excited he became.

Yan Shenjue squatted down and held her little hand, which was not cold, so he asked, "How to do it?"

Xinbao was also tired from walking, so he sat down on his lap, holding his knees with both hands, and said, "First, we need a dairy sheep."

Yan Shenjue looked at her silently. She acted as if it was a matter of course and smiled at him foolishly.

He was only ten years old, very thin, and was squatting with a fat kid sitting on his legs... Well, it was a good thing he knew Kung Fu, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold on.

But he said nothing, only: "Okay, what else?"

"I want sugar, noodles, eggs, black tea, either Dianhong or Qihong is fine..."

As she was speaking, her expression suddenly froze.

The stone had clearly disappeared before Yan Shenjue returned in the morning, but now it appeared again.

This was the first time she felt the stone appear while she was awake.

The scene in the stone was still Master Shen, who was lying on the couch, supporting himself with one hand, as if he was about to get up, with a look of astonishment on his face.

The handwriting next to it read: "As soon as Shen Shouyan lay down, he felt a pain in the back of his neck. He jumped up quickly, but only jumped halfway before falling back."

It seems that there must be some kind of poison needle hidden on the pillow or mattress.

Tuanzi quickly leaned over to Yan Shenjue's ear and told him.

Yan Shenjue quickly lifted her up, stood up, gestured to her, and then took a deep breath and jumped onto the wall.
