Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Chapter 237

In the afternoon, everyone was refreshed. Yu Liangji took the people, took the money, and carried the cloth bag, and asked Batu to drive a carriage to follow, and the group went to the market.

As mentioned in the previous chapters, the distribution of Linsheng County is that the east street is rich and noble, the west street is diligent and thrifty, the north government office is office, and the south is Fangshi.

That is to say, the people living in the east are basically rich households in the county, the West Street is the common people, the north is the territory of the yamen, and the south is the place for business.

They went to Fangshi in the south. Now it is the time to prepare for spring sowing. Many people come to the county to buy things, and the seeds also need to be selected.

Of course, the seed station is on the side of the county government, and Yu Liangji plans to select seeds when the children take their exams.

At this time, the market is very lively, with people coming and going, because the exam is about to take place, and there are many literary students in Confucian uniforms and military students in neat sword sleeves.

Yu Baobao, this is the first time I can go shopping since I can remember!

Everything looks fresh!

Children feel that a pair of eyes is not enough to see!

At this time, the weather is warmer, and no one will sell candied haws on the street, because the syrup will melt away. Candied haws are not sold at any time, usually in winter. If you want to eat something at this time, it can only be candied hawthorn This kind of dried fruit mixed with syrup has to be packed in kraft paper bags.

Yu Liangji brought enough money, and Shi Hongda had a bulging money bag around his waist, which contained small silver ingots, large coins and copper plates.

"What is this?" Yu Baobao pointed to a kite stall, colorful and beautiful, especially when the spring breeze blows, the tail of the kite flutters and floats, which is particularly eye-catching.

Yu Liangji told him: "This is a kite."

"This guest officer, you recognize it very well." The peddler made it obvious that he was a foreigner as soon as he opened his mouth!

"Few people fly kites in the Northeast." To put it bluntly, no one flies kites in the farm.

No one in the north makes this stuff, so the south likes it. The spring breeze in the north, to put it bluntly, is already cold in the spring.

When the weather is warmer, the farm children are either helping the family to send fertilizer to the fields, or are busy digging wild vegetables everywhere, or the school is not closed, so they have to study in the school.

Who let them play with kites!

"The small ones were originally intended to be sent out to be sold there, but now the checkpoints are restricted, and only large caravans with hundreds of guards can pass through. I can't do it, the exchange market has temporarily stopped. , I came here to sell it, but no one here recognizes it!" The peddler was also full of bitterness.

Although he doesn't have much basic money for this kite, the key is that he has a lot of round trip expenses. He also bought it during the slack season. In the past, he sold it to children on the grassland. It's not a strategic material. The children on the prairie have never seen it before. A kite can be exchanged for a small silver bowl, and it's not a small income to sell it back.

He has been away for several years, and he has accumulated a large family business. After this time, he will be able to go back and marry a wife and become a rich man. Who knows that this side is closed.

Now he doesn't want to make money anymore, he just wants not to lose the toll money!

"How much is this kite?" Yu Liangji looked at those kites and touched them. The craftsmanship was good, they were firmly tied, and the colors were beautiful.

"One is a lot of money, one is cheaper!" The peddler said while gesturing, "I just need a toll. Anyway, the bus and carriage go from one stop to the next, and the fare is not much."

"Does the baby like it?" Yu Liangji lowered his head and asked Yu Baobao.

"My baby doesn't know, how can I play this?" Yu Baobao blinked and looked at Yu Liangji.

"Here, my uncle can play. When we go back, my uncle will teach you how to play. How about it?"

"Can I buy two more?" Yu Baobao still remembered those classmates.

"Of course!" Yu Liangji agreed immediately.

"I want ten kites, you wrap them up." Yu Liangji was very angry, and spent a tael of silver to buy ten kites for the school.

"Okay!" The peddler was very happy. His kites were all packed, and he directly took ten strong packages for Batu to carry: "Don't worry, you bought so much, I will give you two kites." Kite, take the lead!"

Today is really a good start!

For his kites, the bamboo strips are split from the bamboo planted behind his home, the paper is ultra-thin kite paper made by his home, and even the thread is strong hemp thread spun by his mother herself.

The cost is only ten taels of silver including the fare, and this is one tael, one-tenth of it. Very good, he thought he would not be able to sell it for a tael this spring!

"Okay!" Yu Liangji agreed with a smile.

"Uncle, how do you play this?" Yu Baobao took a look at the kite and found that he didn't know how to play it.

"This one, in an open place, when the wind blows, let it fly into the sky..." Yu Liangji took the child and continued walking.

Seeing a booth with calligraphy and painting, this Yu Liangji is very common in modern times, but rare in ancient times, and immediately wrote a picture of calligraphy for everyone with great interest.

"Everyone say something and write a banner to go back!" Yu Liangji pointed to the eight children.

"Well, how much does it cost for a picture?" When these children came, although the family brought enough money, Yu Liangji didn't let them go out with money.

"One banner with four words, one big money." The person who wrote the words was a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard and a fairy-like temperament, but he was obviously not a Taoist priest, let alone a monk.

Yu Liangji spent fifteen big dollars for one painting and calligraphy per person. Ba Duo carried a big bamboo basket on his back, and put a roll of calligraphy and painting directly into the bamboo basket to carry on his back.

"What's this?" Yu Baobao saw a bunch of shells on a booth.

"This is a wind chime made of seashells. When the wind blows, it will rattle." Yu Liangji was surprised when he saw the exquisitely crafted shell ornaments!

I asked, okay, like that kite vendor, they are all small-scale one-man dumping of goods. As a result, the border gate is closed for a while, and they have to go back in a hurry, so they deal with it on the spot. Many people are in the Northeast Mansion. I heard about it before I went to the place, so I didn’t go there, and I bought and sold it wherever I went.

At this time, a gust of wind blew past, and all the wind chimes rang!

With the baby's big eyes shining brightly, and Yu Juren's big eyes also sparkling, Shi Hongda simply took out the money: "How much?"

"The big five big coins and the small ten copper plates are all made of the cleanest and most beautiful shells on the seashore. Don't worry, as long as they don't fall, they won't hang for 80 years, but they can be done in ten or eight years. , if your family has a strong hemp rope, after two or three years you can re-thread the rope along the direction of this line, and you can still hang it for ten or eight years!" The peddler is very conscientious.

Yu Liangji picked two large wind chimes made of pure white shells.

"These two." Yu Liangji touched the pure white shells on the wind chimes, which were beautiful, clean and snow-white.

"This color is too unlucky!" Shi Hong objected loudly.

"It's okay, hang it in the ancestral hall, this one is just right." Yu Liangji also told him in a low voice, and then picked out two wind chimes made of flower snails: "Hang these two in front of the window for the baby, and buy some to hang in the school."

Going down, I came to a kneading booth again. Well, the children's eyes are bright now!

"Make one for each of us, um, follow their appearance, and then make another one for everyone they want." The noodles are worthless, each one is only five copper coins, and Shi Hongda directly paid a lot of money.

The old man who kneaded the dough was happy: "Okay, it will be ready soon, let's knead one and play with it!"

Yu Baobao squatted on the ground, looking at the kneader without blinking his eyes, he looked so carefully!

Yu Liangji is similar to him, the old man has rough palms regardless of his age.But with just a few strokes of that hand, a small noodle man can be squeezed out, pasted with some color, and one is quickly finished.

One person holds two small noodles, and the children are all smiling, and they are not at all nervous when they first went out. This is what Yu Liangji wants to achieve.

Yu Liangji stopped when he came to a small stall to buy hair flowers and headbands.

"Pick a headband for each person, and bring it in on the day of the exam!" After Yu Liangji finished speaking, he went to the battle himself and picked two for Shi Hongda, one was duck egg blue embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and the other was embroidered with wishful thinking in sky blue. pattern.

Shi Hongda took a look, and chose two for Xiao Juren, one with embroidered bamboo leaves in tender blue, he wanted to take the other one, but slipped his hand, and took the one embroidered with peach blossoms in pink and tender!

"I don't want this!" Yu Juren disliked that pink color, the color is too delicate, and he is not a little girl, will Shi Hongda know the color?

"Who said it was for you?" Shi Hongda never admitted that he took the wrong headband, so he could only hold the pink one and put it on the baby's head: "This one is for the baby!"

"Uncle Shi, the baby is a boy, don't want this!" Yu Baobao was also very persistent, shaking his head and not wanting that girly headband.

The stall owner insisted on taking out what Shi Hongda was holding: "Customer, this is for girls to tie their hair, it's not suitable for you."

Shi Hongda: "...!"

After buying hair bands, I slipped forward a few steps, and there was another stall selling lanterns...

Just like this, I went around for a while, and when I went back, everyone had big bags and small bags, even Yu Baobao was carrying a small bag, which contained a small model of a big Guan knife that he liked. It is cast in a reduced scale according to the real Daguan knife, because it is made of Baizhegang's craftsmanship. Although it is only palm-length, it is the most expensive one among all things. It cost Yu Liangji ten taels of silver!

But baby Yu likes it!

Yu Baobao's body is not very strong, running and jumping with the big guys, punching and kicking is okay, but it is impossible to specialize in martial arts, and his physical fitness is not up to standard!

He can also look at the weapon model, hold it for fun, and pass it off.

In addition, they bought some gadgets, as well as small toys such as a man with two faces. Baduo also specially bought two beautiful velvet flowers. Needless to say, they must be gifts for Miss Song.

Batu bought a beautiful handkerchief, and Yu Liangji was puzzled: "You bought this for Aya?"

Can't tell, Aya doesn't seem to have the habit of using a handkerchief?

"I'm optimistic about this embroidery." Batu pointed to the delicate embroidery on the corner of the handkerchief, which is a butterfly love flower. Although the pattern is small, it is lifelike: "Aya can't embroider such a beautiful thing in her life. If he buys it back, if he doesn’t need it, it’s good to put it on display!”

Yu Liangji was speechless for a while: "Aya is actually very capable, look at the mutton we eat, the sheepskin is all grilled by her.

This is the truth, Aya is very good at grilling sheepskin, fast and good, without damage.

"That's all she has. She grew up peeling sheepskins. No matter how unlucky she is, she can only eat." Batu bought the handkerchief directly. Not the handkerchief itself, but the embroidery.

When they saw the gate of the inn, it was already 04:30 in the afternoon, and the sun was about to set!

At the gate of the inn, a guy climbed up the ladder and lit up lanterns for his inn. There were strings of bright red ones hanging so high that they could be seen from two miles away.

When I walked to the gate, I found that there were four big lanterns under the plaque, illuminating the entrance brightly.
