Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 836: Touching Porcelain (3)
"Miss, the Double Ninth Festival is a festival anyway, why don't you go and spend it with the major general?"

Afraid of the cold, Nanny Yu put on a layer of thin cotton clothes early on, with a circle of rabbit fur on the collar and cuffs. After a period of recuperation, her complexion became rosy, and she was more energetic than before she got sick.

"That's right, miss, it's both slaves and Madam Yu who have caught the cold. You've been busy with the jade shop recently, and you have to take care of the slaves in your spare time. It seems that you haven't met the major general."

Mai Ya also came up to persuade Qingli, and then Qing Li remembered that since the last Mid-Autumn Festival, the two of them had very few opportunities to meet each other, and they were both busy with their own affairs. "These words are very concise.

"Let's talk about it in a few days. Double Ninth Festival, we're not seven or eighty, so what's the point?"

Qingli chuckled, walked to the door, looked at the pots of chrysanthemums in the corridor, the leaves on the opposite side had turned yellow, the autumn wind was rustling, and the leaves fell to the side of the flower pots, forming a stark contrast with the chrysanthemums in full bloom.

"Miss, it's said that Pingyang is bitterly cold, and this old slave understands. It's only the ninth month of the lunar calendar. Why is it so cold? I don't need a warm water bottle in the middle of the night, and my hands and feet are cold."

Nanny Yu shook her head, stood behind her lady, and put jadeite earrings on her. The style was simple, in the shape of a drop. This was the best-selling style in the jade shop. Such a small pair cost ten taels of silver. It's really strange that ladies from rich families in Pingyang City also agree.

"Oh, by the way, I got some thick rabbit skins a few days ago."

This is a kind of long-haired rabbit. I have not seen such a species in Pingyang City. It is a species recovered from the royal hunting ground in Kyoto. It does not breed fast in the space. In the previous section, I made spicy rabbits, and Qingli slaughtered a few. Peel off the complete rabbit skin, splice it together, make a mattress for the two, sleep on it at night, it is very warm.

"Miss, this rabbit's fur is really smooth."

Malt looked pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stroked it, thinking in his heart that such a fine leather, it would be a pity to make a mattress, but it would be nice if it could be made into a cloak.

"Mai Ya, look at your little thoughts, it's all written on your face, you won't be missing the cloak."

There are a few holes in these rabbit skins, they are not complete, and it is still not good enough to make a cloak.Qingli never treats the servants who have been with her for many years badly, and she is generous.

After breakfast, the three masters and servants drove to the nearby fair in a carriage. In order to keep a low profile, Qingli wore a cotton dress, which made her look inconspicuous. She wore a turban on her head, revealing only a pair of eyes , In Pingyang, where the wind and sand are blowing, a woman dressed like this is not eye-catching.

Before dawn, someone went to the market to occupy a place. When the three masters and servants came, it was already crowded. Yumao and Mai Ya felt that it was new. They looked around. The customs in Pingyang and Kyoto are different. The women are more bold and have their own way to bargain. Routine, shouting voice is also louder.

"Delicious peanuts, grown by myself! It only costs three pennies a catty!"

"Sweet potatoes, red hearts, big ones, buy them back and cook porridge, it's so sweet!"

Along the way, there were constant hawkers, and there was nothing missing in the Qingli space, but she still stopped to watch. This was a kind of psychology, just like shopping in the mall in her previous life, where she didn't necessarily have to buy things.When the weather is cold, there will be no one on the set, and there will be a lot of people coming and going.

"Wild honey from the farm, come here if you know the goods. It's not sweet, you don't need money! This small pot is a tael of silver, no bargaining!"

At this time, there are almost no professional beekeepers. Honey is expensive, and a tael of silver and a small jar are not too expensive. Qingli stops and stops, assessing the prices, and there is no difference from when she left Fengyang back then. The common people trade with copper plates, and broken silver is not common.

"Miss, the prices in Pingyang are cheaper than those in Kyoto. In Kyoto, such a small jar of honey costs at least this amount."

Mai Ya stretched out five fingers, mysteriously, while Mammy Yu was fumbling for the purse, looking like she was going to buy the jar of honey, but when she touched the purse, she frowned slightly.

"Mother Yu, what's the matter with you?"

Mai Ya noticed that Mammy Yu's expression was abnormal, and asked directly, "Didn't you bring any money? I did. I brought a purse."

"Yeah, come out and get busy, put it on the table."

Mammy Yu's face turned embarrassing, she hesitated for a moment, and said to Mai Ya, "Why don't you lend me a tael of silver to buy this wild honey, and return it to you when I go back."

Malt nodded and took out the money bag, but he was still a step too late. A woman in a floral dress was coming in front of her. Wild honey is a rare thing. Now that it's cold, there are no bees, so Mammy Yu took the silver But he didn't get it, and he looked frustrated.

"This girl, can you give me the wild honey? I am willing to pay two taels of silver."

Nanny Yu gritted her teeth. In fact, she didn’t save much money. She kept a lot of money in the capital. She saved the coffin book for herself, and she also saved money for her son to marry a wife. Most of them are food, jewelry and cloth.

"Sorry, ma'am."

This girl in a floral dress looks sixteen or seventeen years old. The clothes are worn out, have traces of mending, and are washed cleanly. She only wears a wooden hairpin in her hair, and there are no extra jewelry. She looks not in good condition. good.

That pot of wild honey, as long as you change hands, you can get an extra tael of silver. a thousand.

"Girl, it seems that you are not from a wealthy family, why don't you just give it to this aunt, and you can get a tael of silver for nothing!"

The honey sellers also helped to make peace. Those with one or two silver coins have considerable purchasing power in this market. Just buying pork, high-quality pork belly, can buy fifty catties for twenty Wen a catty. What can't get along with silver.

"It's true that I can't change hands. My brother is sick in bed and has been drinking bitter medicine soup. He always has a bad taste in his mouth. It took me three months to make up a thousand copper coins. Thank you, uncle. The price you asked for is high. , I still can't afford it."

The girl in the floral dress was very polite, and she bowed to the honey seller, probably because she was afraid that he would go back on his word, and apologized to Nanny Yu, saying that Nanny Yu felt very uncomfortable, living in the market was hard, although she He is a slave who sells himself, but he has no worries about food and drink, and his master is kind.

"Nurse Yu, what do you use the wild honey for?"

Seeing the girl in the floral dress disappear into the crowd, Qingli turned her head and looked at the dejected Nanny Yu, curious in her heart, she would hardly be short of servants to eat, there is honey in the space, she did not Take it out, if you are lucky, you may be able to buy it at the grocery store.

"It's not that girl Mai Dong who drinks bitter medicine soup every day without blinking her brows."
