Although the shop that the Xie family rented to Su Qingluan didn't have a big front, it had an advantage. All the shops on that street had their own yards at the back, which could be used as small warehouses for goods storage or temporary goods transportation points. .
But Su Qingluan didn't plan to use it as a warehouse. Since Su Qingluan planned to do food-related business from the beginning, he planned to build a back kitchen in the backyard.
So when Xie Fu helped clean up the store, he asked her if she had any requests. Su Qingluan simply said that she wanted to build a more spacious kitchen in the back.
Although the store has not yet opened, the kitchen in the back has been repaired first, and all the pots and stoves are available and equipped.
Naturally, Su Qingluan had to buy the detailed furnishings inside, such as plates, bowls, and various seasonings. However, for the time being, this level of "simple kitchen" has saved Su Qingluan a lot of money. Got strength.
Therefore, Su Qingluan's main task today is to prepare all kinds of bottles, cans, tools and materials that may be used.
However, she did not go straight to the shops to search for what she wanted after entering the town. Instead, she followed her father and mother to the meat stall.
Now Yang and Su Guangfu are very skilled in selecting which part of the sewer is suitable for making sewer soup, and Su Qingluan doesn't have to worry about it at all. And she wanted to see Liu Yunniang who had treated her semen.
Even though Su Qingluan rarely comes to the town recently because of the jam incident, he often meets Liu Yunniang. For example, today, because last time Yun Niang said that Liu Sheng wanted to eat the preserved egg and lean meat porridge again, Su Qingluan took advantage of this time to make preserved eggs and brought her eight.
"Oh, there's also this." Su Qingluan handed the wrinkled fish tofu wrapped in oil paper to Liu Yunniang.
Yun Niang had never eaten this before, so she smiled and said, "I fried these bean pastes yesterday. Qingluan, take them back!"
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "You go back and try the soup or the pot-shabu-shabu. This is made of fish - but don't leave it for too long. Even if the weather is cold now, this stuff will go bad easily. I'm afraid it will deteriorate in three to five days." It’s going to be sour.”
Yun Niang accepted Su Qingluan's "feeding" every now and then. She also knew that Su Qingluan really wanted to treat her as a friend, so she accepted the preserved eggs and fish curd without hesitation.
As usual, Su Qingluan asked about the recovery of Yagyu Sheng's legs.
In the past, this topic was an established part of the greeting process, because Yagyu's condition has been stable and gradually recovering, and recently he can walk around the neighborhood. Therefore, Liu Yuniang's daughter was very happy to mention her father's illness, and Su Qingluan was also happy to choose a promising topic as chat material.
But today, Liu Yunniang sighed uncharacteristically: "My father's legs have been gradually getting better, but recently, for some unknown reason, his feet have started to feel numb and he has gradually lost strength!"
Speaking of the last few words, Yun Niang's voice gradually trembled, but after all, she has a strong temperament and is not a little girl who cries easily, so although she was sad, she only frowned slightly, but did not cry.
Su Qingluan quickly asked: "Did the doctor at Huichun Hall tell you what happened?"
"That's the problem," Liu Yunniang sighed. "The doctor at Huichun Hall said that everything about my father should be fine. He shouldn't have the symptoms of numbness and weakness in his legs now."
"How long has this been going on?"
"It's probably about ten days." Liu Yunniang sighed, "At first, my mother-in-law and I didn't take it too seriously. After all, the weather has turned cold recently, and my legs would be sore and numb due to the cold. But I opened a plaster and put it on It didn’t work, even hot compresses and moxibustion didn’t work.”
Su Qingluan did the math: ten days is ten days, which means that it has been almost ten days since Uncle Liu's leg disease worsened.
Is it really because the weather is getting colder, as the Liu family and her daughter suspected?
After all, Su Qingluan was not a person who was proficient in medical skills, so he could only comfort her with a few words, telling her that he must talk to her if there was any need. Then he said goodbye to Liu Yunniang and went to Ren Yazi's place.
The buying and selling of human heads is so common these days that Su Qingluan was mentally shocked when he saw for the first time an honest and fair way of stringing people together and lining them up on the roadside waiting to be sold.
But now, it had been some time since he traveled through time. Su Qingluan knew that he had no ability to change this phenomenon, so although he still felt uncomfortable, he could only learn to adapt.
However, when she occasionally had a chance, she thought that she could at least save one person, like now.
Renyazi traffickers do not have a unified "purchasing standard", so every time Su Qingluan sees a different person with a piece of dead grass stuck on the roadside waiting to be "bought", most of them are poor people who cannot take the blame at home. The children of the family also had slaves from other countries, but those were usually sold very expensively and only wealthy families could afford them.
Su Qingluan looked at the row of half-grown children who looked like bean sprouts. She felt sour in her heart. On the surface, she pretended as if nothing had happened - because she knew that she showed no sign of her inner intolerance. These children were very observant. Will beg her to buy him.
When Su Qingluan had just traveled through time, he had not yet learned how to hide it, and he did not know the twists and turns in between, so he once scattered all the money he had.
This time she learned the lesson, looked cold, and tried her best to choose these "goods" that were still considered children in her previous life as if she were picking goods.
Renyazi has dealt with people from all three religions. Although Su Qingluan was dressed in ordinary clothes, he didn't drool at the smelly vendors, nor did he show envy at the wealthy people coming and going. He knew that this person either had an extraordinary background. If you are knowledgeable, you are either doing things for your master. Although you are a servant, your master is knowledgeable.
Wanting to understand this, the man ran towards Su Qingluan with a flattering look on his face: "Does this young man want to see the goods?"
Su Qingluan was dressed in men's clothing today, and it is true that teenagers can't tell the difference between male and female, so they are called "Mr."
However, she didn't care about the title issue. She just glanced at the row of tall and short "goods" as if it was commonplace, and said in a calm tone: "I want two people with quick hands and feet to help move things, something more affordable."
So, Ren Yazi ignored the Kunlun slaves and prioritized the two skinny boys aged fourteen or fifteen in front: "These two, don't look at their thinness, but they have a lot of strength in their hands." As he spoke, the man gritted his teeth, and the two men immediately went to the roadside and moved several bricks, stacked them together, and moved them over.
"This is still not enough to eat." Ren Yazi said with a smile, "If you are full, you will need more. You see, it only costs this amount per person, how cost-effective it is!" As he said, Ren Yazi made a gesture.
Su Qingluan looked at the two half-year-olds. Although their limbs were sound and they had a lot of strength, their eyes were dull and they had no idea of escape.
It's not that they don't want to run away, it's that they can't run away - having signed a deed of sale into slavery and without a household registration card, even if they run away, they will be caught and subject to harsh criminal laws.
So after Su Qingluan "bought" them, although the buyer was very thin and short, the two people followed him obediently without any intention of running away.
This was not the first time that Su Qingluan had "bought" someone. He had always bought people on the front foot, then let them finish their work and directly gave them a deed of sale to set them free.
She herself can't change the phenomenon of rampant human teeth, but she can't get used to using people as "tools" either.
This time is no exception.
Su Qingluan first took the two teenagers to a noodle stall to have a full meal, and then hired a donkey cart driver to put all the things he wanted to buy on it. The two teenagers were responsible for helping to move the bottles, pots and pans up and down.
Su Qingluan basically made a list of the items he needed to buy in advance. With a goal in mind and not pursuing high quality, he could basically buy what he wanted in the town. So just after noon, everything I wanted to buy was basically ready.
Su Qingluan ordered the driver to drive the bullock cart to the back of the shop, and began to direct the two teenagers to toss the things down and place them where they should be placed.
The front and back doors of this shop are directly transparent. The front door opens directly to the main street, and the back door leads directly to the backyard.
Under normal operating conditions, the store would have shelves and various furnishings. Therefore, if the front and rear doors were not open and the front and rear doors were not open and the person was standing at a certain height, Su Qingluan would be standing in this position in the backyard. , it is basically impossible to see the main street.
But now this shop is not open. Even because Su Qingluan has never thought about what to do with this shop in a good location, it has always been used as a half warehouse, with only some bulky items such as stoves placed in the corner. Things are basically equivalent to being vacant.
It was precisely because of this that Su Qing saw Liu Yunniang hurriedly passing by on the main street at a glance.
Liu Yunniang's expression flashed past. Su Qingluan didn't see it clearly, but she looked a little anxious when she looked at the movements.
Su Qingluan quickly stepped over from the back threshold, not forgetting to tell the two "servants" and the coachman to work hard, then turned around and shouted: "Yunniang, Liu Yunniang!"
Girls' voices are inherently high-pitched, and Su Qingluan is only thirteen or fourteen years old, which is the age range for a clear voice. When she raised her voice like this, Liu Yunniang was not far away, so she naturally heard her.
She stopped and turned around, and saw Su Qingluan walking out of a shop and running towards her in a hurry.
Running closer, Su Qingluan looked Liu Yunniang up and down: "Where are you going in such a hurry? Shouldn't you be accompanying your father?"
Suddenly, Su Qingluan thought that she didn't see Mrs. Xi today, so she quickly grabbed Liu Yunniang's sleeve: "Ms. Xi didn't come either, could it be..." Could it be that her Uncle Liu... was bad?
