The object of the ladyship's request was to find out what other ingredients she knew but didn't use widely in this era, some of which might be vegetables, some of which might be fruits, and some of which might even be grains.

Just like apricot, although it existed, many people only knew how to eat it directly and didn't know how to increase the industry value through processing. What the lady needed to do was to make the industry chain longer by using her own hands.

If there was a crab eater, there would be a second one who would learn to eat. After all, it was impossible for her to make a circle around all the good things in this world by herself, so all she had to do was drive.

"And do you know where the county sells dry goods? "It would be even better if there were items for sale from other places." The lady came to tell Joco that her plan was one purpose, another was to investigate the market here.

Yes, you can go out on this street and catch the carriage a little way to a street and sell all the dry goods." Choco knew that the girl always had her own ideas and knew what she was doing, so she was used to her instructions and didn't ask any questions. Now that the restaurant was tied to her, she was afraid of what she was going to do.

There were still things to do in the store, so it was inconvenient for Qiao Ke to accompany her shopping. He could only give his little sister some directions so that she could look for him by herself.

Outside the door, Ye Xuan was at the side of the cart, feeding the buffalo with fresh grass. He untied the cow rope that was tied to the cowshed. "Are we going back?"

"Why aren't you going back yet? Go and buy some things."

As they walked along the street, the little girl sized up the shops in the surroundings. Many of them were old with quite a few patches on their houses. Walking on such an ancient street would give one a different taste.

The nanny also noticed the drainage system on both sides of the street. There was also a stone isolation system. It seemed like it was quite advanced.

Qingyuan County wasn't big, but the government had a unified plan for the streets.

The Qiao family restaurant was on the western side of the street. There were all sorts of food sellers and some of them were from the village selling vegetables or wild animals. On the north side, near the mountain, were all large and powerful families. The vermilion gate looked particularly grand. If one walked further north, they would only be able to live amongst the commoners. The streets to the east were filled with livestock, ranging from chickens, ducks, geese, to pigs and pigs, and even some shops selling animal furs.

The south side of the street was a place to sell all kinds of groceries. It was also the destination of the lady's visit.

The two of them left the ox-cart at the first shop on the street and went shopping. The first shop was a cloth shop, and Ye Xuan was buying those five pieces of cloth from that shop. When Ye Xuan and his little girl went in, the shop owner walked up and greeted them, "Sir, you've come again. Is there anything else you want?"

Seeing the lady, he then complimented her, "I presume this is your wife. The two of you really aren't compatible with each other."

Ye Xuan laughed foolishly. Without giving any explanation, the cute girl rolled her eyes and started looking at the clothes in the shop.

The shop was not big, but there were many kinds of cloth. There were also some finished products hanging on the walls of the shop. There were many kinds of cloth on the counter: cotton, linen, silk.

The hemp was the cheapest while the cotton was only slightly cheaper than the silk. Logically speaking, the cotton shouldn't be so expensive.

Seeing her touch the piece of cotton cloth, the owner smiled and said, "Yesterday, I took this piece of cotton cloth back with me. Yesterday, I took this piece of cotton cloth back, this piece of cotton cloth was the best in our store.

So it was because the supply was short of demand that the price rose. Speaking of which, the lady had never seen how women weaved cloth in this era. Did anyone in their village know how to weave cloth? Did you weave with a machine or something?

The lady thought about it and decided to go back to the village and ask around.

The few clothes bought at home were more than enough to make clothes. The lady even gave half of them to Autumn Flower to make clothes for the two children as well.

This time, the lady came to buy some undergarments. The silk was extremely light, and her hands were as smooth as flowing water. She got the shopkeeper to take half of the silk to wrap it up, which cost her one or two taels of silver.

For the time being, he would leave the cloth in the shop. The lady would like to buy something else, so it would be inconvenient to take the cloth.

In front of each store was a white banner with the name of the store or the item sold in the store written on it.

The little girl brought Ye Xuan to a larger store.

As soon as he entered, the waiter walked over with a smile and asked, "What would the two customers like to buy?"

When he asked, he was looking at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan was only accompanying his mistress, so he didn't know what she wanted to buy. He turned his head to look at her.

"Bro, sorry for troubling you. Let's look around to see what we can find. If we need any help, we'll come back to you for help."

Seeing their reactions, the waiter thought that the two of them were actually the women in charge, and in his heart, he felt disdain towards Ye Xuan. He looked like he was big and had dung ears, so he was afraid of his daughter-in-law.

To a little girl, shopping was a very normal thing to do. However, it was Ye Xuan's first time shopping. Thinking back to how he had been so upright in rejecting the invitations from so many girls, he didn't expect his head to fall on the little girl's shoulders.

The little girl couldn't help but find it funny when she saw Ye Xuan walking behind her with his hands and legs tied. For such a man to stroll around the streets was like being a thief.

But she had to take him with her. Since she had decided to do something great in this era, she couldn't help but be helped by a man.

This era placed too many restrictions on women. However, if there was a man following by her side, the lady would feel much safer. Besides, the lady would take him to do many things in the future. How could she always be so timid?

"Ye Xuan, help me see if there are any vegetable seeds here. If there are, we have to know the price and how much they are worth."

Being mistaken as a couple gave Ye Xuan extra motivation. Listening to his wife's instructions made him feel more like he was walking around with his wife, which made him forget about the uncomfortable matter of shopping.

This dry goods store was rather big. The lady walked around the room and found quite a few seeds as well as food. Other than these, there were also wood ears, mountain fungus, and other wild animals from the mountains.

After observing from the corner for a while, the lady even discovered seaweed, cabbages, yellow cauliflower, etc.

The waitress called the waitress over and asked him what it was. The girl thought for a moment before saying, "These are all bought in Seahold, there are some local people eating them, but we don't have many people eating them. If you want them, you can buy them."

The little girl acted as if she had picked up a treasure. She got the waitress to take a bag and pack all the seaweed in the store. She planned to take it home and eat slowly.

The kelp is rich in nutrients, even for the body of the plum blossom.

After strolling around, the lady found pepper, star anise, fennel and other spices to make the brine. She bought some of them.

The price of these items was not low. The lady in red did not buy many of them, and they were not considered expensive either.

At first, the lady thought that they were trying to help, but after looking at the items sold in the store, she realized that all these people were just artificial surveillance cameras.

The items sold in the store were still small. If some people had evil intentions, they would grab some and take them out in their sleeves. It would really be hard for others to get out.

"Little girl, come over here and take a look at these seeds. Which ones do you want?" Ye Xuan squatted at the place that sold seeds for a long time. Unfortunately, he didn't know what the little girl wanted. When he turned around, he found that she had already bought a lot of things. He immediately called her over to take a look.

The lady walked over and asked the person selling the seed, "I want to buy some vegetables and seeds. Tell me what kind of seeds you have here?"

"Beet, string beans, green vegetables, cabbages, beans, peppers … these are all easier to plant. What do you need, my wife?"

After thinking for a while, the lady let him weigh up some of each seed, and even wrote down what kind of seeds they were.

The chilli girl bought chilli peppers this time, also known as salami. She wanted to buy some to make chili sauce, but she didn't know if that would work.
