Chapter 23 Fish is needed to make tea?
When Shi Yan heard this, he understood the meaning. This kind of matter was always decided by the wife, and the husband had no say. He asked others to put lunch together first, unwilling to continue listening.
Song Tingran asked with deliberate interest: "But just now?"
"That's right. He looks handsome too. He's in Shiqing Village, not far away."
"Then you can be regarded as an old cow eating young grass. I won't eat the wedding wine. Go back."
The door of the Song family was closed forcefully, and Song Tingran left the door bolt inside. Xiao Ping's face outside turned black and white, causing the villagers who had not dispersed to laugh.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was subtle. Lunch had been laid out and placed on the table. Song Tingran pretended that nothing happened. Inviting everyone to eat together.
"Our house is not very big now, so we have customized bunk beds for you so that everyone can have an independent space without being crowded together."
"My wife, I have never seen bunk beds like this. It not only saves space, but is also practical. Isn't it cheap?"
What Shi Yan wants to say, and what everyone wants to say, is that various fruit seedlings have just been planted in the ground, and it will be difficult for them to bear fruit this fall. They usually bear fruit next year.
There is no problem with vegetables and the like. I can keep some for myself and sell the rest to make money. However, I heard from Song Tingran that she also needs to renovate her house. This time she spends so lavishly that it will soon be over. The family's money is running out.
"Money is not saved, but earned. I think there is still space at home, so I might as well plant some more corn and rice, which can be considered self-sufficient."
Before Song Tingran could finish his words, Xiao Yuchen became excited. He had made a wooden plow in the past two days, which was just suitable for a half-sized ox. This land had been fully developed in the past two days. He was thinking about it. Planting something.
"My wife, just buy the seeds and I will take good care of them."
Xiao Yuchen vowed and beat his shoulders, his face full of expectation, and everyone else smiled when they saw his innocent look.
"In the afternoon, Xiao Yuchen and Wen Li will go to town. The others are at home and can do whatever they want. We will try to come back before sunset."
Xiao Yuchen: "My wife, are you taking me to buy seeds?"
"Yes, yes, I will buy you whatever seeds you want."
Song Tingran sounded a little coaxing to a child, which made Xiao Yuchen scratch his forehead in embarrassment, and then started to drink water.
Wen Libu didn't speak. He didn't understand why he was suddenly taken to the town. He knew nothing about seeds. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he was the person his wife took out the most.
Thinking of this, Wen Li's desire to stay became more serious, but he couldn't bear to let Wen Ci go. They had grown up together since childhood.
After dinner, Xiao Yuchen took the initiative to carry his backpack. This was the first time for him to go to town with his wife. He was obviously excited. He followed Song Tingran. Seeing Wen Li's slowness, he turned around and said: "Xiao Liu, hurry up."
"Ah, here we come."
Along the way, Xiao Yuchen was a curious baby sitting on the bullock cart. He looked around, whether it was a bird flying by or a beautiful wild flower on the roadside. He wanted to share it with Song Tingran, while Wen Li on the side could only Silence and silence.
"Sister Zhao, we will buy a lot of things today, so we still have to trouble you to wait for us."
"When I saw you leading them out, I thought of it. Anyway, there's nothing to do in the afternoon. I'll just wait for you here."
With Zhao Yu's promise, Song Tingran felt even more relieved. She walked with Xiao Yuchen and Wen Li on the street, looking for a good opportunity.
A tea stall appeared at the corner, and it was a no-brainer.
"You two are sitting here drinking tea. I'm going to discuss business with the shopkeeper of Zuixianglou. When I come back, don't run around."
Xiao Yuchen looked at the tea stall, a little at a loss. He had no experience in coming to town with his wife, so he looked at Wen Li.
Wen Li sat down on the stool obediently, and Xiao Yuchen also sat down. Song Tingran ordered a pot of tea for them, plus some snacks, and said, "If it's not enough, order more if you like what you like. I'll be back." I’ll pay you.”
Just in case, Song Tingran left half a tael of silver and gave it to Xiao Yuchen.
She put the basket on her back, and in a remote and uninhabited alley, she took two watermelons from the farming space, caught two carps weighing three kilograms, and put them all into the basket.
After that, I took out the rice seedlings and corn that were almost ready to bear ears. They were all fresh from the soil. Together with the same types of fruit seedlings as last time, I estimated that I could plant more than three acres of land at home before I stopped.
These were placed in the corner, slightly covered with abandoned broken tiles and leaves and branches, and then they left and went to Zuixiang Tower.
Shopkeeper Lin was waiting at the door to see off a girl covered in silk and satin. She looked wealthy and did not look like someone from Ping'an Town.
Song Tingran was waiting for them to finish their greetings, and was not in a hurry. Shopkeeper Lin immediately invited her to the private room upstairs. As he walked, he said: "Sister Song, you haven't been here for a long time. I'm looking forward to seeing you." I can’t see you.”
"I have prepared some good things this time, but it will take a little longer."
Shopkeeper Lin smelled the big money. The last time he delivered the cantaloupe to the city, he made five times as much profit.
"Go and pour a pot of good tea."
Shopkeeper Lin casually told the waiter that this was the third time Song Tingran had seen this waiter. He was a man, and so were the other waiters in Zuixianglou.
"Sister Lin, I would like to ask, why do you use them for work?"
"It's so difficult for men in this world. If they can't find a good home, or if their family is poor, they will either sell it or throw it away. I feel pity for them. They can have a job and be self-sufficient."
Song Tingran didn't expect that in this era where women are respected, there would be such an open-minded person, so he said, "Sister Lin and I should be close friends."
The two of them laughed together, and the waiter knocked on the door and brought a pot of tea. The aroma of the tea was very familiar, and it seemed to be very similar to the one he had last time.
Song Tingran Xiaomin took a sip and said: "It's really good tea. It has a refreshing fragrance in the mouth, followed by a slight bitterness. When you taste it again, it is sweet without losing the flavor of the tea."
"Sister Song is not very old, but she is quite good at tea tasting."
"I'm not afraid of Sister Lin's jokes. I have another way to brew this tea, and it's suitable for all ages."
In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived in the kitchen. Song Tingran first put the two carps he had brought into the water tank.
"This is?"
Shopkeeper Lin was puzzled now. He originally wanted to make tea, but he had to go to the kitchen, and now he even took out the carp.
