The third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is the folk Shangsi Festival. It is a custom in the south to take a spring bath, go outing in the green, and enjoy the flowing water.
The ice and snow in the North have melted, and the green grass has just grown. The people celebrate the festival in their favorite way.
In the middle of the street, from time to time, peddlers shuttled back and forth, yelling, going out to the street today, as parents, they will not save those three melons and two dates, but they are so happy that the little ones are eating snacks in their mouths and holding them in their hands. With a bag, looking around lively.
Li???? Haitang clutched her stomach. She had just finished her work, so she took Xiao Lingchuan with her. At the moment, her stomach was growling and she wanted to eat some snacks to satisfy her cravings. For her, there was almost no chance to hang out on weekday nights.
There is a night curfew in the border town, and the only place that is relatively lively is Huajie and Liuxiang, which is not a place she can go.
"??? Delicious fish balls, minced fresh fish meat, no money if it's not good!"
There is a small stall in front of it, and many people are waiting here, and there is a smell of fresh fragrance in the air.
Li Haitang sniffed, and pulled the arm of his savage husband, his eyes were full of anticipation.
"...Want to eat? Then buy it."
Two days ago, Li Haitang ate at a roadside stall, got sick at home, and ran to the toilet all night.
Seeing his wife's pale face, Xiao Lingchuan felt annoyed, thinking that he would cook whatever she wanted to eat in the future.
Now, seeing the little eyes of the lady, his heart softened again.
Xiao Lingchuan asked himself, killing people and setting fires, he could be calm and indifferent, even without blinking his brows, but facing his wife's slightly unhappy expression, he immediately surrendered.
The owner of the stall was very busy frying fish **** with one hand and collecting the copper plate with the other. The copper plate had been touched by many people and it was not clean at all.
Xiao Lingchuan frowned, wishing he could carry him to the side to wash his hands.
"Thank you husband."
Li Haitang smiled and took the purse full of joy. She was about to line up to buy fish balls. After digging through the purse for a long time, there were only a few scattered copper coins.
Fish **** cost twelve copper coins, which is a bit expensive for ordinary people. Twelve coins can buy half a catty of pork, which is used to consume oil. You can use a few slices each time you cook, so you can use it sparingly Half a month, and there are so many fish balls, they will disappear in your mouth.
At this time, the fish meat is more expensive and over-oiled, so the price of Twelve Wen is still very reasonable. The fried fish **** are golden in color, and there are various sauces to choose from. Sweet, salty, spicy, you can add it yourself .
Not far from the stall of fish balls, there is a time-honored shop, Lao Sun’s mutton steamed buns. Buy steamed buns and get a bowl of authentic sour plum soup. It’s sweet and sour and appetizing. It’s what she wants to eat!
Li Haitang lowered her head in frustration, only then did she remember that she didn't bring much money with her when she went down the mountain this time, and she was cheated by Yun Jinghong who killed a thousand knives.
Well, for those who were cheated, it was the savage husband who helped and did his part for the city guards. In the face of national justice, Li Haitang will not be stingy.
For the rest of the money, she used a few hundred taels of silver to poach a colleague who had privately stored century-old mountain ginseng.
The quality of the wild ginseng was good, and Chun Niang produced it and kept it for emergencies. The remaining bank notes were sent to Lucheng by her for the turnover of the pharmacy.
Xiao Lingchuan usually doesn't care about money, and he doesn't know that the money has been spent to the point where there is not much left. Now, the husband and wife are struggling to live.
In fact, there is no shortage of silver, you can get it from Chun Niang, or go back to Lijia Village to get money, the latter is too far away, if it is the former, it would be embarrassing!
Li Haitang felt that she was the prodigal woman in the rumors, and she had no face to face her savage husband.
"??What's wrong?"
Seeing that his wife was instantly lost, with her head lowered and her depressed appearance, Xiao Lingchuan felt her chest was tight, and she wished she could hug her in her arms to comfort her.

"??? Husband, we have no money, only a few copper coins to spend."
Li??? Begonia wanted to cry but had no tears, "A few coins are not enough to buy things."
She is a majestic doctor Li, so she can't get credit for eating fish balls.
Recently, the meals at home are all thanks to her visits to the doctor, and she hasn't bought anything recently, so she is sloppy and doesn't remember at all.
"Husband, why don't we find a way to earn some money?"
There are many folk performances in front of it, those who eat fire, those who play monkeys, and those who sing ditty songs.
Accumulate ??? less and more, can attract dozens of people, tonight's meal is considered complete, fish balls, Lao Sun's steamed buns, sour plum soup, eat a belly ball, and buy some gadgets when you leave.
Li???? Haitang has beautiful eyes, she doesn't have much talent, she knows medical skills, but at the lantern festival, heroes are useless, but the savage husband has it, an unpredictable martial arts, casually perform a silver needle throwing, Can let the people see the world.
"? Earn copper coins?"
Xiao Lingchuan felt a chill behind him, he was sensitively aware of an ill-intentioned light, his wife might not be planning any tricks, she might be tricking him.
"??? Well, it's a copper plate."
In the market, there are very few pieces of silver, and the common people use copper plates as coins. A thousand copper plates are one tael of silver. In this conversion, the copper plate is not as heavy as you think, it is very light, and you can carry a tael of silver on the street. Yes, they are all rich.
In order to keep a low profile, Li Haitang covered her face with a cloth scarf. She was a well-known figure in the border town anyway. In this way, the two of them stood and walked on the street without being so conspicuous.
It must be something shocking to attract people. Earn copper coins early, so that you can buy food and comfort your empty stomach.
"Go shopping, I'm going home first."
After Xiao Lingchuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Li Haitang was surprised, and quickly trotted forward with the lantern in his hand. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't move without a copper coin. Or should she sell the lantern in her hand?
No, it was a gift she made herself and planned to give to Zhang Ruyi. Zhang Ruyi wrote a letter a while ago, complaining that she would not go to Lucheng. Affection.
"Oh my husband, what are you going to do? I have something to discuss, hehe."
Li Haitang smiled, stepped forward and pulled Xiao Lingchuan's sleeve. She also felt that it was not particularly realistic. To sell calligraphy and painting, you need pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and to play and sing, you also need tools. This made her very distressed. .
Xiao Lingchuan was just teasing his own wife, he was both amused and helpless, he had no coppers, so he could only accept his fate, but fortunately she proposed to make money instead of taking shortcuts and being the three hands.
However, he would like to have three hands and do it all at once, at least without having to perform in public. ?Two??? People moved forward with the flow of people. At the corner in front of them, there were two people squatting on the ground with sad faces. One old man was in his sixtieth year, and the other was just a little girl. A bowl was placed in front of the two people. is empty. Occasionally, people passing by thought they were beggars, so they kindly gave them a copper coin.
