Although he wasn't a professional barbecue chef, he knew how to eat. He figured out how to get seven or eight kinds of spices from the spice shop, ground them into powder, and also brought a few jars of wine before driving the horse-drawn carriage out of the city gate and heading back.
Outside the city, after walking three miles, we saw Granny Guan carrying a large bamboo basket on her shoulder. She held the basket with one hand and put the other on her hip. The heavy load bent her back, and she was walking very hard.
The thought of going to a gambling den made her uncomfortable. Regardless of the era, Lan Yamei always disliked people who loved gambling, so she deliberately slowed down and followed at a distance.
After walking about a hundred meters, Granny Guan put down her basket with difficulty and wiped her sweat. Turning her head, she saw Lan Ya Mei lazily sitting in her carriage following behind her. "You naughty girl! You see how tired I am, and you don't even help me. I was wondering whose carriage was following me like this. So you were just playing me!" Granny Guan was quite angry.
"Hahaha, I have no choice but to help you quit gambling, otherwise you'll lose it all next time." Lan Yamei tightened the reins, stopped the car, and helped Aunt Guan load the things onto the car.
"Ugh, don't even mention it. I swear I'll never go there again. Hurry up and let me on the bus, my shoulders are practically chafed raw."
The two sat in the carriage, moving slowly. Lan Yamei asked, "Have you bought everything?"
"All done! I'm exhausted. Hey, how did you buy this carriage? We're all broke." Aunt Guan asked, wiping her sweat.
"I traded it for the jade pendant," Lan Yamei said honestly.
"It seems this jade pendant is quite valuable. How much did it sell for?" Aunt Guan asked enviously.
"It wasn't worth much. I bought a carriage, two sets of clothes and shoes, a packet of seasoning powder, and a few jars of old wine. That's all gone," Lan Yamei lied. Aunt Guan's gambling addiction was too great; she really didn't dare hand over all her money.
"It's worth it, it's worth it. With this carriage, things will be much easier for us. When we have more money in the future, we'll move to the city. Everything will be so convenient then," Aunt Guan thought happily.
"Are houses expensive in the city?" Lan Yamei asked casually.
"You can find a decent courtyard house for ten or twenty thousand yuan."
Ten thousand taels? The amount of silver I have is just a drop in the ocean. "Aunt Guan, I've discovered you're really daring! Your ambition is extraordinary!"
"Haha, people can achieve anything if they work hard. We didn't even have a horse-drawn carriage before, but we have one now. If you dare to dream and dare to act, life will not let you down."
Yes! Let's just do it.
