Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Li Haitang thought that the shop in Waihai should be crowded with people and noisy, but when she actually entered, she found that it was too different from what she thought.

The man-made landscape in the shop is very beautiful, and there are tables, chairs, benches and other places for casual tea tasting, on which there are teapots, tea bowls, fruit plates and other things.

If you calm down and look carefully, you can find the difference.

The fruit plate is made of metal, and there is a small pillar at the bottom, which holds the plate high. The side of the plate is my flower pattern, and the middle is hollowed out. It is filled with emerald purple grapes and a few kinds of fruits.

In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the grapes have already matured, and the juice is rich, covered with a layer of light ash, and there are small water droplets, as if they have just been washed, people can't wait to pick a few grains, stuff them in their mouths, and taste them.

The teapots and bowls are decorated with bronzing patterns, which are simple and elegant. Even the tables and chairs are curved with high backrests.

Xiao Lingchuan observed his wife, and seeing that she didn't show a particularly strange expression, he knew that she was well-informed, and compared to things that could fly and carry people in the sky, these were nothing.

"Husband, this shop is very strange. There are neither staff nor customers."

There is a display stand in front, and there are music boxes and other objects in front of it. Upstairs are beds and other objects, and almost everything, except tables and chairs, only one remains.

"right."

Xiao Lingchuan explained to the lady that the shop may be in the same state for a year or two, and there are no customers.

When the ship goes to the open sea, the things that can be transported back are limited. Every time it is transported to Kyoto, before it can be displayed in the shop, it will be watched by high-ranking households. If you buy anything, you will have to rob it.

Not long ago, a ship from overseas just entered Beijing, and the items were sold out in about three days.

There are rules in the shop, and for every item, one item will be kept as a display and will not be sold.

It's a pity that the items in Waihai are too expensive, and not everyone can grab them. Therefore, merchants in Daqi also come to grab items, copy them, and then sell them.

But no matter how good the imitation is, it is still not as good as the original version floating across the sea, and the fake will never be real.

"My lady, there is wine brought from the sea in the shop. The alcohol content is extremely high. I didn't respond when I drank it at first. After a while, I passed out immediately."

When Xiao Lingchuan talked about this kind of wine, he himself drank it until he became confused.

The stool was too high, and Xiaodoubao couldn't climb it. He was hugged by Li Haitang and sat on the chair. Li Haitang gave him another music box to play with. In the turbulent summer, there is a sense of tranquility in a corner.

Although Daqi is not complacent, it is far away from the open sea. The level of sailing, the sea climate and conditions, and many external factors make it not easy to go to the open sea.

Right now, several powerful merchants are secretly building ships, and they want to go overseas to buy goods, resell them at sky-high prices, and get a share of the pie.

But the truth is very cruel, every year there are countless people who never return, even the business of the shop owner is not so guaranteed.

Li Haitang walked upstairs and downstairs again, based on these objects, speculated about the conditions in the open sea, and found that their level was not much better than Da Qi's.

But Li Haitang was very interested in the books in the sea. She saw a book similar to the Bible, and there were pianos and other things.

"Husband, I don't know when the store will be able to go overseas. I want some books on medical skills."

It would be best to change a batch of medicinal materials from overseas to facilitate her research.

Although Li Haitang is preparing for the restaurant business, her old profession is still medicine.

"Okay, I remember."

Xiao Lingchuan counted the time, there were still a few days left, and the crew had planned to leave early when they came back, so as to try to return before winter.

But this trip is extremely dangerous, and no one knows whether they can come back alive. Therefore, everyone discussed and wanted to stay at home and leave after the reunion of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Haitang suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart. Walking a life-and-death dart may not mean death, even if he dies, he can still leave a whole body. But when he is walking on the sea, if he encounters danger and no one rescues him, he may only have a dead end.

The couple took the bean buns and sat in the Waihai shop all afternoon, and only started to walk back when the sun was westward.

"Ma'am, Kyoto is really nice, but things are too expensive, and I can't even afford them."

Wu Fu looked at the carriage for a while, went out for a walk, and she walked in by herself, but the man ignored her.

Wufu is used to being snobbish, and she doesn't buy anything anyway, so she just went to have a look. Remembering that Yaohuazhai's makeup, she lingered in the shop for a long time.

A box of the most common face powder costs five taels of silver.

"Ma'am, look at me, has anything changed?"

Wufu is reluctant to part with money, but Mammy Yu said that she is reluctant to let her children be caught by wolves, and she can eat. If she can't find a good husband in the future, she must start with dressing up.

So, she gritted her teeth, hesitated for half an hour, and finally took out her private money tremblingly, and bought a box of incense powder.

Before the main family and his wife came out, Wu Fu opened the lid of the box and gently swept the upper layer, feeling very happy at the moment.

"What change?"

Li Haitang opened the car window and poked her head out, not understanding what her maid said.

"Look carefully at me."

Wufu held his head up high, and the store clerk said that such an expensive face powder, after applying it, would look so radiant that people passing by would take a second look.

She had an illusion that after putting it on, she became a bit more beautiful.

"Like, tanned?"

Li Haitang looked Wufu up and down, and finally came to a conclusion. The sun in Kyoto is hotter than that in the north. If you don't take some protection, even your delicate skin will be burned.

Wufu: ...She thought she was an illusion to become beautiful, but it turned out that it was an illusion!

"Wufu, I see you are unhappy, but has it happened?"

Li Haitang thought that Wufu was being looked down upon by snobs while wandering in the street. Open the door to do business with a clear purpose, which is to make money, and those who only look at but not buy will of course not be popular.

But she pays great attention to this point. In order to prevent those who look down on others, Li Haitang specially bought a lot of good materials, and remade a few sets of clothes for the servants.

"Ma'am, look at my face, I used five taels of silver powder, you didn't even notice..."

Wufu was wronged, and now her wages have risen. There are two taels of silver a month, and five taels is not too little for her. Could it be that she was fooled?

"That's it..."

Li Haitang can't laugh or cry, everyone has a love of beauty, although Wufu doesn't care about it, now he starts to pay attention to it, could it be that he has a scholar he likes?

"Ma'am, don't scare me." It's too scary to look for a scholar without anyone. Wu Fu trembled, and when he disagreed with him, he would chop up the pieces and not throw them in one place. Wu Fu's dislike for scholars , has been upgraded to a new level.
