Chapter 203 Shopping
Li Lanzhen took Silver Fox for a walk, but she was wondering where to spend the night.
If all else fails, find a remote, deserted place and enter the space with Silver Fox.
Silver Fox saw what Li Lanzhen was thinking and said to her.
"Aunt Lanzhen, let's stay at the restaurant tonight."
Li Lanzhen glanced at him, looked at Silver Fox's serious expression and said nothing, then followed him forward.
Silver Fox brought Li Lanzhen to a restaurant called "Sifangke".
Silver Fox walked in, took out a black jade pendant from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Two upper rooms."
The shopkeeper took it and looked at it with an excited and serious expression.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Lanzhen behind Silver Fox.
He swallowed it again and nodded.
"Wait a moment, Madam, there are two more rooms on the second floor. Please follow me."
Silver Fox lives next door to Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen went into her room first, and after a while came out carrying a small bag and knocked on the door of Silver Fox next door.
Silver Fox opened the door and saw Li Lanzhen.
"Auntie, is something wrong?"
Li Lanzhen handed him a small bag.
"There is a water bag inside. Use the water in this bag to clean your wound. Oh, the wound is on your back. If you can't see it, I will help you apply medicine."
Silver Fox shook his head and said, "No, auntie, I can do it myself. Here is some gold medicine. I just need to clean the wound and apply the medicine."
Li Lanzhen nodded to show that she understood and turned back to her room.
After a while, the waiter brought up hot water.
Li Lanzhen saw a large bathtub with hot water.
She did not take a bath here. She took the hot water and poured it into the bathtub so as not to arouse suspicion among the people in the restaurant.
Then, she flashed into the space.
Went to her small courtyard, took a hot bath, changed clothes, and then came out.
Li Lanzhen sat on the big bed, thinking back to the attitude of the shopkeeper when they entered the hotel just now.
I guessed that maybe Silver Fox knew the owner of this restaurant.
It seems that this Silver Fox is really not simple, but as long as he doesn't have any bad intentions towards me and doesn't harm Peach Blossom Land, it will be fine.
I thought about what I heard the diners talking about food prices in the small noodle restaurant today.
Food is in short supply now. Although the imperial court is trying to stabilize food prices, which are lower than before the famine, the prices are still unaffordable for ordinary people.
From this point of view, we still need to grow more food and reserve enough food reserves for everyone in Taohuayuan for two years.
The rest of the food can be exchanged for silver, which can then be used to purchase daily necessities.
It seems that everything is on the right track in Youzhou City now, and they say that the official Duan Zhizhou who governs Youzhou City is an upright person and a good official who serves the people.
Who knows, by next year, Youzhou City might be in ruins and in need of reconstruction.
So after returning, Li Lanzhen had to make some plans. Not only did she have to grow more food, but she also had to make plans in advance for other aspects.
I fell asleep while thinking about it, and there was no conversation all night.
The next day, after getting up early, Li Lanzhen washed up and went downstairs, she saw Silver Fox sitting at a table, waiting for her to have breakfast.
"Auntie, you're down. Did you sleep well last night?"
Li Lanzhen smiled and said, "Good, very good. How is your back injury?"
Silver Fox answered as he asked the waiter to serve breakfast.
"It's okay, auntie, I'm much better now. It's just that I'm getting better so fast!"
As he spoke, he still stared at Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen didn't say anything, but thought to herself.
What are you looking at me for? What do you want to tell me?
I don't know anything. Is your golden medicine very good?
After breakfast, the two left the restaurant and went to pick up the sesame cakes they had ordered yesterday.
Before I reached the door of the pancake shop, I saw the fat proprietress lifting her apron, wiping her hands, and looking over here.
Ye Lanzhen knew at a glance that the sesame cakes were already ready. Was the proprietress worried that they wouldn’t come to pick them up?
The lady boss saw her coming and waved and called out, "Hey, Madam and Young Master, you're here! The sesame cakes are ready according to your request!
Come, sit here first, drink some tea, and try two sesame cakes. These are freshly baked sesame cakes, still hot, with crispy and fragrant crusts!"
Li Lanzhen had originally had breakfast in the restaurant, and after she said this, she felt hungry again.
After sitting down, I broke open a sesame cake.
He broke it in half and gave it to Silver Fox, who shook his head.
Li Lanzhen ate it herself, took a bite, nodded, and gave the proprietress a thumbs up.
"Your sesame cake is delicious, with a strong wheat aroma, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the sesame smells nice too!"
Hearing Li Lanzhen praising his sesame cakes, the proprietress laughed and picked up two freshly baked hot sesame cakes.
"Come here, ladies and gentlemen, take these sesame cakes. They are hot and you can eat them while walking."
"How much is this pancake?"
"Madam, our sesame buns cost one copper coin each, and two meat buns only cost three copper coins."
Li Lanzhen thought about it and realized that this price was about the same as the price of sesame cakes before they came to escape the famine.
However, this sesame cake is made purely of wheat without any bean flour mixed in, and it is large and thick in size.
After paying the silver, he looked down at the dozen or so baskets lined up on the ground.
Li Lanzhen was worried.
Silver Fox said quickly, "Aunt, I'll look after Shaobing here, you go back to the restaurant and get the carriage.
Li Lanzhen glanced at him.
You have a quick mind, boy.
He agreed, "Okay, you sit here, I'll go drive the carriage."
Everyone around was looking at Silver Fox.
It is puzzling that a young man who is fast on his feet does not drive the carriage himself, but asks an old man to drive it instead!
But looking at the silver fox wearing a silver fox mask on his face, he looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with.
No one spoke and turned around to do their own things.
Li Lanzhen found an alley and kept walking. When there was no one around, she drove a carriage out of the space.
After loading the sesame cakes onto the carriage, Silver Fox led the horse to the door of a grocery store.
"Aunt, didn't you say you wanted to buy maltose yesterday?"
Li Lanzhen walked in and saw the malt sugar and some sugar cakes in the store.
This kind of sugar cake is made from the residue of refined syrup and is pressed. It is not very sweet, but it is quite fragrant when chewed in the mouth.
Li Lanzhen bought maltose and sugar cakes, spending three taels of silver.
The boss was so happy that his mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
Silver Fox loaded them into the carriage.
Li Lanzhen looked at the brown sugar again. The brown sugar at this time was not refined purely, so the color was not good-looking, and there were a lot of residues, but she still had to buy some.
The brown sugar in the space is of high purity, but it will be gone once you eat it. Now buy some when you see it. My eldest daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so I’ve prepared it early.
She saw the salt and thought that winter would be approaching when she returned, and she would need a lot of pickled vegetables and sauerkraut, which would require a large amount of salt. She bought ten taels of silver worth of coarse salt and took it back to mix with the fine salt in the space.
When passing by a ready-made clothing store, Li Lanzhen thought that since there were so many people in the space, she should buy them a few sets of clothes.
Although there are clothes in the space, they are consumed quickly.
If you see them today, buy them all.
After getting off the carriage, Silver Fox was waiting outside with the horse.
Li Lanzhen entered the clothing shop. She found that the shop was quite large, with two floors.
After she went in, the waiter greeted her warmly.
"Ma'am, you are here, what do you need?"
"Let me consider."
The row of shelves on the left side of the clothing shop are all women's clothing, the one on the right side are all men's clothing, and the ones below are all shoes.
There are long shirts, short shirts, and all kinds of clothes.
Li Lanzhen first chose clothes for herself and the women in her family.
I picked out a set of maroon and a set of light blue for myself.
I bought two sets for each of the women and girls in my family.
Then the men also bought two sets.
I bought four sets of gowns for Han Mingxiang, some thin and some thick.
Now that he is back, he still has to continue studying. The next time he should take part in the imperial examination.
She also took four sets of gowns for Yinhe.
Then, there are the clothes of this group of people in the space.
The men's were all navy blue and black, and the women's were all light blue and ginger.
After looking at the clothes, I looked at the shoes.
The men's boots and the women's embroidered shoes were all given two pairs each.
When the waiter saw that Li Lanzhen bought so much, he laughed so hard that he couldn't stop smiling.
Li Lanzhen said, "Waiter, I bought so many things, please give me a discount."
At this time, a woman came down the stairs, laughing as she walked.
"Okay, okay, since you're taking care of my business, of course I'll give you a lower price."
Seeing her expression, Li Lanzhen was surprised!
