Chapter 369: go grocery shopping

In winter, it gets dark early, and the master and servant had dinner early, and it was already dark before you.

Li Haitang walked around the table a few times, always ready to vomit in the clean room, she found that compared to the past few days, her appetite was surprisingly good, and she drank a large bowl of noodle soup in a row.

There were no noodles, bacon, and cabbage left in it, and only an empty bowl was left in the end.

After preparing for a long time, there was no sign of vomiting, and she was almost so excited that she burst into tears.

Without personal experience, I really don't know how difficult it is to be pregnant, especially the few days of morning sickness. It is not an exaggeration to say that the days are like years.

"Ma'am, our lamp oil has run out."

Wufu tidied up the kitchen, and only a shallow layer of oil lamps hung on the roof remained. When adding firewood at night, it was only in the dark.

"I feel pretty good, lock the courtyard door, let's go out and do some shopping."

The grocery store closes at Youshi. Fortunately, Chunniang's yard is very close to the downtown area, just around the corner from the alley.

"Then I'll add some firewood first, the fire in the stove is not strong, I'm afraid it will be extinguished when I come back."

After Wufu finished speaking, he turned around and went into the kitchen again, busy with work.

This maid is not lazy at all in her work, she doesn't need to worry about it, but she is too simple and easy to be deceived, so she is a good seedling after preaching.

There was a little north wind blowing outside, and it was chilly. Li Haitang was wearing a fur cloak, with a cloth scarf covering his face, and took Wu Fu out for a stroll.

At dinner time, every household raised smoke, and the streets and alleys were not as noisy as before.

"Ma'am, our area is alright. We live in rich families. If you go north, the houses there will run out of food."

Wufu sniffed as he walked, and pointed to the neighbor's house, "The eggplant and potatoes should be dried in the sun. It doesn't taste good when stewed, and it smells like medicine."

"Your nose is really good."

Li Haitang was in an open mind and made a joke.

"That's right. I used to smell what people in the village ate when I passed by."

Wufu couldn't help but look smug, and when he arrived at the door of another family, he said that the sauerkraut eaten by that family should have chicken in it.

The residents near Chunniang's house are almost all businessmen. Businessmen are shrewd and have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Although the frontier town is not peaceful and the grain is soaring, they are not affected slightly. They should have stockpiled grain before the autumn harvest.

As soon as it got dark, the streets became even more lonely, with only sporadic pedestrians returning late.

The road was covered with a layer of white snow, which had already been trampled to a level. Li Haitang thought of a poem, "Go home on a snowy night."

"Ma'am, let's go to Zhang Ji's grocery store. The things in his house are perfect."

Wufu supported Li Haitang and pointed to a family not far away.

"puff…"

Li Haitang laughed out loud, this Wufu is a bit interesting, seeing how anxious she is, if she doesn't know, she thinks that she is getting benefits from Zhang Ji and helping to advertise.

"Hey, ma'am, I've heard other people say the same thing, what does it mean to be innocent?"

Wu Fu rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and smiled honestly.

"Even the elderly and children don't cheat, it's about doing business with integrity."

Li Haitang patiently explained, then nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to Zhang Ji."

The air after the snow was fresh and cold, and with a cloth covering her cheeks, she was still blushing from the cold.

The temperature drops sharply at night, not much better than Surabaya City.

There is a small stove at the entrance of Zhangji grocery store, and customers who enter the door can drink a bowl of hot tea.

There was only one boy in the shop, and at the counter, the cashier was making calculations.

A gust of hot air greeted her, with a faint aroma of wine, reminding her of the wines made in the mountains.

"Brother, get us some lamp oil."

Wufu often comes to buy things and knows the shopkeepers well. He has a lot of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, so he doesn't need anything else.

"This walnut kernel, preserved fruit, peanut candy, and the snacks over there, all give me a box."

After Li Haitang entered the door, he started to buy a lot. Before that, he had morning sickness and no appetite. After this meal tonight, he felt a little better.

There are still a lot of new products on the shelves, probably because the business has not been good recently, and they are almost unopened.

The brown sugar-wrapped peanuts are dotted with sesame seeds. Li Haitang made it several times by himself, but found that it was not as crispy as the bought ones.

The price of goods has skyrocketed, and it is much more expensive than before, but she doesn't pay attention to this little money.

Ever since she walked around the dungeon, she felt that she was very petty, and she no longer pursued those details.

She is the same price as others, why bother about those.

To live, money is earned, not saved.

"Ma'am, do we need to buy so much?"

Li Haitang didn't feel bad, Wu Fu felt bad, that bag of peanuts cost two hundred cash!

Brown sugar, sesame and peanuts are not cheap, but they don’t cost so much. She lives in the village, and the whole family can’t spend two hundred cash a month.

"Of course, you've worked hard during this time. I'll buy you some snacks. What do you want?"

Every time he vomited into a mess, Li Haitang himself hated it, but Wu Fu worked hard without complaint, without any impatience.

It is true that she bought the servant girl, but it can be seen that she is not sincere to her.

Li Haitang decided to reward Wufu.

"Ah? These are what I should do."

Wufu had a question mark on his face, as a servant, if he served the master's house and gave Yueyin, would there be any rewards? The madam has already given her a lot, she can't climb along the pole.

"Then buy some sesame seeds."

There are flour and eggs at home, so there is nothing to do, Li Haitang plans to make some soft cakes with red dates and walnuts to pass the time and save the imagination.

When we got home, it was completely dark.

Wufu put a few big locks on the courtyard door, and went to the stove first. Before going out, she put some potatoes by the stove, which were now half-cooked and fragrant.

"Let's fry chili oil and eat with potatoes."

Potatoes are tasteless when eaten dry, so Li Haitang thought of a way, fried some crushed peanuts, boiled the oil, fried dried chilli segments, poured them on the peanuts, and it turned red.

"Can you eat spicy food again?"

Wufu lifted the pot quickly with his hands and feet, and the chili oil was added with peanuts, which had a burnt aroma.

"Eatable."

After the morning sickness passed, it entered the stage of eating and drinking, and the master and servant wiped out all the potatoes, still wanting more.

"Wufu, break some eggs first, and we will make jujube and walnut cake tomorrow."

Li Haitang doesn't have to worry about it, just tell Wu Fuyi how to do it, and this girl can cook very well, and she is talented in cooking.

Back in the house, she lit another oil lamp and cut under the lamp.

At the end of the year, the savage husband's clothes had to be replaced. His white undershirt had been washed many times, and it was slightly yellowed, and the cuffs were also frayed. Make clothes for Xiao Lingchuan first, as for the bean buns in his stomach, there are still a few months to go.
