Sure enough, when Mrs. Lu heard this, she was very envious: "That's really great. You can do needlework, you've read books and know how to read. You come from a wealthy family and know the rules and etiquette. It's really a blessing for Qin Fang to marry you." That's right. Look at Qin Fang's family. They are beautiful, have a good figure, and speak softly. Even a woman likes them. I think Qin Fang must like them very much.
Yang Haiyan has the original owner's memory, but she doesn't have any impression of Qin Fang. The original owner and Qin Fang only met once when they opened the veil after getting married. At that time, the original owner saw that he was tall and was full of disgust and fear in her heart. She didn't look at him for many times, so Yang Haiyan didn't have any impression of Qin Fang. In the novel, the original owner is the contrast group of the heroine, but the heroine is mainly described, so there is not much ink on Qin Fang. Therefore, she did not have a general impression of Qin Fang. She only knew that he was very tall, about 195 cm.
Yang Haiyan: "Sister-in-law, you are too kind. I have only learned a little bit."
The two chatted for a while, and Sister-in-law Lu wanted to wash the dishes for Yang Haiyan, but was rejected by Yang Haiyan. Since she had already woken up, there was no reason for Sister-in-law Lu to serve her.
Seeing that she insisted, Sister-in-law Lu did not force it. But her impression of Yang Haiyan was also better.
Not every household in this family house has a well. The well is in a fixed place, so if you need water, you have to go to the well to fetch water.
However, Yang Haiyan looked at the kitchen and found that there was nothing except two pots. It is estimated that the dishes and chopsticks also belong to Sister-in-law Lu's family. This is why she can't do anything she wants. After thinking for a while, Yang Haiyan went to Sister Lu's house: "Sister Lu..." She called out at the door.
Sister Lu: "Hey..." She came out of the house, "Xiao Yang, what's the matter?"
Yang Haiyan blushed and said, "Sister Lu, I... I don't have any money, can you lend me some? I'll return it to you when my husband comes back, I want to buy some things."
Sister Lu patted her leg and said, "Oh, look at my memory, when Qin Fang left, he left me a silver " Sister, let me wait until you wake up before giving it to you. I forgot."
Yang Haiyan: "That's really a great help. Sister-in-law, you have to be busy with things at home, and you have to take care of me, how can you take care of me?" She was telling the truth. In the novel, Centurion Lu and Qin Fang had a good relationship, so Sister-in-law Lu took good care of the original owner at first, but later the original owner was too pretentious, and the relationship between the two became strained.
Yang Haiyan took a tael of silver and asked Sister-in-law Lu where the vegetable market was. Sister-in-law Lu was worried about her being alone, so she took her there. On the way, they met a few military wives chatting. Sister Lu introduced Yang Haiyan and explained the incident of Yang Haiyan taking the wrong medicine before. Everyone knew that Qin Fang's family member had committed suicide by taking poison on the wedding night.
Yang Haiyan: "Sisters-in-law, I'm so sorry. I came from Beijing and didn't know that the medicine I brought had expired. It's my fault that you all worry about me. Tomorrow, when Qin Fang comes back, my husband and I will host a dinner and invite everyone to our house to warm up our family."
Seeing that she spoke sensibly, everyone stopped believing the previous rumors and said, "No, no, I'm glad you're okay." What are you worried about? That's not true. It's clear that she was just watching a show. However, no one would admit it.
"Yes, it's good that the patient is fine. The most important thing is to take good care of the disease."
"That's right. It's a long way from Beijing. It's inevitable that the medicine has expired."
Yang Haiyan: "Thank you, sisters-in-law. I just arrived and there are many things I don't understand. Please teach me."
Everyone saw that Yang Haiyan was polite and modest, and they had a good impression of her.
After chatting for a while, Yang Haiyan and Sister Lu went to the vegetable market. Mrs. Lu: "There are the most vegetables in the market in the early morning, and they are also the freshest. However, some vegetable farmers do not sell all their vegetables in the early morning, and will keep them to sell... There are also two meat stalls here, which are fixed..." When
we arrived at the meat stall, the pork was gone, and there were a few bones without meat on it, and two pig trotters.
Yang Haiyan: "Boss, how do you sell these bones and pig trotters?"
The owner of the meat stall is a thin little man. Don't be fooled by his small stature, he can sell meat, so he must be very strong. The meat stall owner said, "These bones and pig's trotters are all included at 10 cents per pound, which is only 6 pounds in total. Do you want them? If you separate them, the bones are less than 10 cents, but the pig's trotters have meat, so there must be more than that."
Sister-in-law Lu said, "Isn't 6 pounds too much?"
Yang Haiyan said, "I want it all. Sister-in-law, I want to stew some soup tomorrow and send it to my husband, so that he knows that I'm awake and he doesn't have to worry about me in the barracks."
Sister-in-law Lu thought, "That makes sense." Although 6 pounds was a bit much, it was for her man to eat, and since Qin Fang and his wife had no children, she could be a bit extravagant.
Then, the two went to the grocery store and bought sugar, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, rice, and brown rice. Sugar was 13 wen per liang, soy sauce was 30 wen per pot (one pot and a half catty), vinegar was 30 wen per pot, oil was 120 wen per pot, fine salt was 5 wen per liang, coarse salt was 3 wen per liang, white rice was 6 wen per catty, brown rice was 4 wen per catty, and flour was 8 wen
per catty. Yang Haiyan bought half a catty of sugar and fine salt, a pot of soy sauce, vinegar, and oil, 5 catties of white rice, 5 catties of brown rice, and 5 catties of flour, and paid a total of 360 wen, plus 60 wen for ribs and pig's trotters, a total of 420 wen. Because there were so many things, the grocery store could deliver them to your door.
Then he bought a wooden bucket and basket for carrying water next door, which cost him 45 wen.
Then I bought some cabbage and radish for 5 wen. Compared to the ones I bought before, vegetables are really cheap. Finally, I ordered 3 bundles of firewood. Firewood is 10 wen per bundle. One bundle weighs 100 jin. Generally, people need 3 bundles per month, so the cost is not small. I spent
100 wen on bowls, chopsticks, spoons, washbasins, bathtubs, and earthenware jars.
When I got home, Yang Haiyan was really tired. The grocery store and firewood had not been delivered yet. I spent exactly 600 wen today, and I still had 400 wen left.
Yang Haiyan was tired, so she started to process the ribs and pig's trotters. The ribs on the platform cost 32 yuan per jin and the pig's trotters cost 40 yuan per jin. She put one jin of ribs and two jin of pig's trotters on it, and there was still one jin of ribs and two jin of pig's trotters left, ready to eat herself.
After it was put up, the transaction was not completed so quickly. She checked the silver on the platform again. The silver was 5 yuan per gram. One tael of silver equals 50 grams, which is equal to 250 yuan.
The ribs and pig's trotters were not sold. The grocery store delivered things. After the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and some supplies were put into the kitchen, the empty kitchen felt full. When three more bundles of firewood were delivered, the atmosphere of life in the kitchen became even stronger.
Yang Haiyan did not consider the issue of staying or leaving for the time being. It was easy for her to live here, but it was very dangerous for a woman to survive in such a world. There was too little description of Qin Fang in the novel. She would have to contact Qin Fang first to know whether she would stay or leave.
Of course, if Qin Fang never came back from the military camp, Yang Haiyan thought that she could live here forever.
It was almost noon, and although she had just eaten rice porridge, she felt hungry again, so she planned to make pork rib porridge. But before making the porridge, she had to fetch a bucket of water first.
In ancient times, people used small wooden buckets to carry water. Small wooden buckets were heavy, so Yang Haiyan could only fetch half a bucket of water with a small wooden bucket. After fetching half a bucket of water, she washed the bones and put them into the iron pot, then used a match to light the fire to cook porridge. She cooked a lot and planned to cook it together with dinner. Fortunately, she was very experienced in using the stove and was even more familiar with cooking. While
the pork rib porridge was stewing, Yang Haiyan looked at the platform and saw that one catty of pork ribs and two catties of pig's trotters had been sold, earning a total of 112 yuan. 110 yuan can buy 22 grams of silver, one tael of silver = 50 grams = 1,000 coins, which means 22 grams of silver = 440 coins, but the original cost was 3 catties of pork ribs and pig's trotters, 30 coins.
With this calculation, Yang Haiyan decided to make money from pork ribs and pig trotters, put the money on the platform, and buy silver when she needed it.
Meat was the only thing she could think of, a trade item that would not attract attention. Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan suddenly thought of something, pig intestines.
The pig intestines on the platform cost 40 yuan per pound, and pig intestines in this world were something no one wanted to eat, so they seemed very cheap. Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan decided to buy some pig intestines tomorrow to try.
After the ribs were cooked to a rich aroma, Yang Haiyan scooped out half of it for dinner, and cut a dozen slices of cabbage. After five minutes, she scooped out a bowl of ribs and cabbage, then put down the cooked rice and went to the next room.
"Sister-in-law Lu, are you there?"
Sister-in-law Lu: "Yes, I am."
Yang Haiyan: "I made the soup, please try my cooking, thank you for your care these days."
Sister-in-law Lu: "Why are you so polite, no need." But she still felt good in her heart, after all, being appreciated means that her efforts are worth it.
Yang Haiyan: "Don't be polite with me. I want to go to the military camp at noon tomorrow. I want to tell my husband that I'm awake, so that he won't worry. So I need you to lead the way for me."
Mrs. Lu: "Okay, okay, I won't be polite." It's a give and take. At worst, she can treat them next time, so Mrs. Lu accepted it readily.
"Mom..."
"Mom, we're back..."
Mrs. Lu had just put away the dishes when she heard the sound of her two sons coming back. Mrs. Lu has two sons, twins, who are seven years old this year. They study in a private school in the town and go home for lunch at noon.
Yang Haiyan had just walked to the yard, so she heard the voice of the children next door. It was not because the sound insulation was poor, but because she was outside and the children were shouting at the door, so they could naturally hear it.
The pork ribs porridge was not ready yet, Yang Haiyan started to study the platform again, to see if there was anything in this world that could be put on the platform to make money. She would not do it if she was asked to bring modern craftsmanship to ancient times to exchange for money. The risk was too great, and this risk was not something she and Qin Fang could bear. Don't think that it's so easy for women and men to travel through time in novels. That's just a novel. She is not the heroine, but she doesn't have the halo of a heroine, so she seeks stability.
