Min Fangqi put down his bowls and chopsticks, looked at the food in front of him and sighed: "It's such a gluttonous feast without fine wine to accompany it. What a pity, what a pity!"
"Haha!" Xiao Ming smiled silently and put down her chopsticks. Only the two of them could eat a table of exquisite dishes, which was just the tip of the iceberg.
Min Fangqi looked at Xiao Ming who just smiled and didn't answer. He couldn't help but shamelessly continued: "Junior Sister's delicious fruit wine with such a delicious recipe is very good. I wonder if Junior Sister still has fruit wine at home."
He had coveted the fruit wine at Xiao Ming's house for a long time. Xiao Ming knew that he liked it, so he gave a lot of it as gifts. Apart from giving some to his friends and son in Beijing, he didn't have much left at home. There were not enough people in the family to share it. Ah! Mother likes apple wine, Madam likes sweet pear wine, and Xiao Yaoer likes peach wine. Every time Xiao Ming brings wine, they all share it, and only a few of it falls into his hands. Jar of wine. Wine was also his favorite. He drank a little every night before going to bed. From time to time, Wu Tong would come to ask for some, but very little was left in his hands. He couldn't drink enough to taste it. , I ran out of wine, so I had to come to Xiao Ming to ask for it.
"Brother, we don't have any wine at home. If you want to drink it, you have to wait for a few months for the new fruit to ripen before I brew some more." Although Min Fangqi's eyes were eager to drink, Xiao Ming still refused with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, Sister Ming, you are here!" Kong Lin walked in quickly, arriving before anyone else arrived. He came in a hurry and was sweating profusely.
"Ouch, it's so hot that I'm so hot, brother-in-law, why didn't you let me know when you were coming so that I could wait for you in the restaurant." Kong Lin complained while sweating.
"Why am I here to see you? I'm just here for a temporary medical visit." Min Fangqi said with a smile.
"How is my sister?" Kong Lin asked. Since the opening of Qionghua Building, business has been booming. He has not been to the town to visit his eldest sister for a long time.
"Very good, I will always think of you."
Kong Lin felt relieved when he heard this. He turned to look at Xiao Ming and said happily: "Sister Ming, it's rare for you to come to Pingcheng. You have to have a good time for a few days. Thanks to your vegetables, how would my business be otherwise?" How good it can be."
Thanks to the vegetables brought from Xiao Ming's house every day, the three restaurants in the capital and the Qionghua Restaurant in Pingcheng are making a lot of money every day. In the past few months, he has made more money than he has in the past few years. The reputation is even more resounding.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have a lot of things at home. I just picked chrysanthemums to dry in the past few days. I don't have time to stay in Pingli." Xiao Ming said, declining Kong Lin's invitation. The chrysanthemum tea picked at home is still waiting to be packaged. OK.
"The chrysanthemum tea is out, okay, I'll order five hundred bags first." Kong Lin was overjoyed and quickly placed the order.
"Okay." Xiao Ming responded. Seeing that Kong Lin and Min Fangqi had something to say, it was inconvenient for her to stay here, so she stood up, "You guys chat first, I will go to the city for a walk."
"Okay, I'll let Sanzhu accompany you." Min Fangqi said. He was worried that Xiao Ming would go out alone. He suggested that the young man Sanzhu should follow him. He regretted that he didn't think carefully when he went out and didn't bring a maid for Xiao Ming. , there is only one servant Sanzhu around who can use him.
"No need, senior brother, I can do it alone." Min Fangqi had a good idea, but after all, there were differences between men and women, so Xiao Ming still refused.
The prosperity of Pingcheng is not comparable to the small Ping'an Town. Although it is past noon, there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, shouting and shouting. Xiao Ming is strolling casually, and when he sees a bookstore, he walks in.
The inside of the shop was different from the hustle and bustle outside. It was quiet inside. There were many young people dressed simply standing there with books in hand, reading with gusto and nodding from time to time.
Xiao Ming casually browsed through it. Most of them were books on imperial examinations, many famous calligraphy and paintings, as well as paper, ink, pen and inkstone. Xiao Ming was a little disappointed that there were no medical books.
Finally, Xiao Ming picked out a travel book and bought it. In ancient times when transportation and information were inconvenient, you couldn't travel around like you did in previous lives. The only way to understand the outside world was to read books and learn about the local people in the book. As for other things I didn’t buy a single book. I’ll buy it again when Xiao Han and Xiao Yu take a break.
After coming out of the bookstore, Xiao Ming walked into the jewelry store next to it. It was filled with a dazzling array of jewelry, which was dazzling and dizzying.
"Girl, please come in. We have the latest jewelry from the capital, which is most suitable for a young and beautiful girl like you." The young boss lady looked at Xiao Ming, who was dressed in ordinary clothes but had good temperament, white skin and beautiful appearance, and became enthusiastic Say hello.
As the saying goes, Mrs. Wang sells her melons and boasts herself. The landlady tried her best to recommend and praise any item that Xiao Ming likes. She would praise an ordinary piece of jewelry to the heavens and the earth.
Xiao Ming picked up a pair of gold bracelets and looked at them. The bracelets were of ordinary style. They were simple and unpretentious, with nothing outstanding about them. They were about one finger wide and had an ordinary magnolia flower texture. They were dignified yet elegant.
"Young girl, it's so beautiful. This bracelet was just shipped from the capital. Look at the thickness of this pure gold. It's real. All the ladies in the capital like this style. I heard that all the empresses in the palace are wearing it?" The proprietress picked up the pair of red gold bracelets when she saw Xiao Ming coming in. Her face turned into a smile and she praised the benefits of the bracelets.
There was no one else who could do this. Xiao Ming felt funny. Thinking of those salesmen in the previous life, a toothpick could be said to be used by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and such an ordinary bracelet could be said to be used by the empress in the palace. Then These ladies really have their eyes set on it.
Although the style of this pair of bracelets is not good-looking, it is solid and heavy. The style is just right for my godmother to carry. I bought it with intention. After putting down the bracelet, I went to the silver jewelry department and selected three hairpins with hollow patterns, which I planned to give to my godmother. Liu Lin and the three of them.
"Boss, how much are these four items?" Xiao Ming asked.
"The girl's eyes are so beautiful. This hairpin is a popular style this year. Each one costs twenty taels of silver. This pair of gold bracelets costs twenty taels of silver." The landlady said with a smile, praising Xiao Ming's vision and quickly paying the bill.
"A total of twenty-six taels of silver."
"Well, okay." Xiao Ming paid the money readily, which made the landlady smile so happily that she packed up the things herself and sent Xiao Ming out enthusiastically.
Xiao Ming put the gift box into the medicine box and walked around to take a look. It was a rare visit to Pingcheng. When she encountered good food, she bought some and took it home for a few children to eat.
"Miss Xiao, stay." A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking Xiao Ming's way.
Xiao Ming raised her head and looked at the person in surprise. She thought for a long time before she remembered this person.
Pretty boy Liu Fushun.
It was just that Liu Fushun had changed so much when she met her in the village that Xiao Ming almost didn't recognize him.
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Liu Fushun was wearing a brocade blue silk and satin dress, sparkling in the sun, with a delicate jade pendant hanging on his waist. In addition, the man himself was good-looking and considered handsome. His face really looked like a young man from a wealthy family.
