"Three ladies... Let's take a look at our rouge powder..."

In front of a small stall, the enthusiastic peddlers Wang Xue, Yan Shihua and Zhao Lianer stopped. The three little girls could no longer move their steps as the rouge powder on the peddler's stall.

The so-called girl who doesn’t have a longing for spring is also a girl in ancient times, and she also wants to dress herself up very beautifully.

There are many types of rouge, and the peddler introduced it to the three girls in one box:

"This is purple powder... It is made of rice noodles and Hu flour mixed with sunflower seed juice. This one is very cheap, only 5 cents. However, I feel that this is not worthy of the three ladies. It is better to try this jade girl peach pollen, which is made of gypsum, talc, clam powder, wax cream, shell musk and motherwort. It is applied to the skin and ensures that your husband can't let it go."

"Really..." Wang Xue smiled and looked at the peddler with a look of yearning.

The peddler here saw that a little girl had taken the bait and nodded quickly: "Really, really, if it is not tender or smooth, you will scold me, but this one will be a little more expensive, fifty cents."

"Can...."

Wang Xue took out a tael of silver and handed it to the peddler and said, "I have money... I want to buy this jade girl peach pollen."

Seeing the little girl so readily, she took out a tael of silver, and the peddler smiled: "Okay, okay... I'll pretend for you... By the way, do the other two ladies want it? In addition to this jade girl's peach blossom pollen, I also have jade hairpin powder and pearl powder... they are all first-class good fans."

"Buy..." Without hesitation, Yan Shihua and Zhao Lianer also took out the money in their pockets. Today, the elders of each family gave one tael of silver to their little girls, so the little girls are richer than boys.

The peddler smiled happier when he saw the business. He wanted to use his own skills to continue to fool him, and asked these three little girls to buy more rouge and water powder.

"Sir, what book do you want to buy?"

On the other side, here, the three old men, Yan Laojue, Qiao Zheng first accompanied Master Zhao to Yingtian’s bookstore to buy books. At this time, the books in the Ming Dynasty were not that expensive, because during the Ming Dynasty, Bi Sheng’s wooden movable type printing technique was already relatively common. Gong Xian, a Qing Dynasty man, once said that the Ming people used wooden movable type printing plates to print books, "The wind was great."

There are about 100 types of books that can be tested. Wood movable type printing is not only popular in coastal areas such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Fujian, etc., but also developed to Sichuan and Yunnan. Among them, there are movable type printing books, including vassal states, academies and private individuals.

The content is also very extensive, the most of which are collections of poems and essays.

However, the woodblock printing technology has not been lost, and overprints have been developed... What is overprints? It is books of two colors, and there are even three colors and four colors... There are about 140 kinds of overprints, including scriptures, sub-shus, historical copies, poetry collections, novels and remnants, etc., and the content is quite extensive.

"Are these books cheap?" Master Zhao pointed to more than twenty books in total, and the servant immediately replied with a smile: "There are 280 words in total."

"Okay... I bought it all." Master Zhao took out a tael of silver.

After buying the book, Mr. Zhao smiled and shouted to Yan Laojue and Qiao Zheng: "Let's go... let's go to the teahouse in front, have tea and snacks, I'll treat you today."

"Thank you, sir." Qiao Zheng and Yan Laojue laughed.

The three of them walked to the teahouse not far outside the bookstore.

At a small stall not far from the teahouse, Qiao Ren's family and Xia Wu's family were eating duck blood vermicelli soup and soup buns. This duck blood vermicelli soup is a traditional famous food in Yingtian. Duck blood vermicelli soup is made of duck blood, duck intestines, duck liver, etc. and add duck soup and vermicelli. It is very delicious because of its mild taste, fresh, fragrant and smooth.

Eating duck blood vermicelli soup and soup buns is absolutely delicious.

There were ten white and tender soup buns lying in a small cage. After biting it, the skin of the mouth was burned, so I must take a small bite, slowly suck the soup inside, and then eat it in one bite.

"It's delicious...oh, it's just too hot."

Qiao Xiaohu held a soup bun in his mouth. He didn't swallow it or vomit it, but the soup was really fresh.

Xia Wu also smiled and said, "How about it, I said this duck blood vermicelli soup is delicious and not expensive, can I lie to you..."

"It's better that you are here. If our family follows Brother Lu and Zhou Xin... and they may be lost after strolling around." Qiao Ren laughed, then he sucked a big mouthful of duck blood fans, and then showed an intoxicated expression.

"Mom, I still want to eat that..." The big guy pointed to the osmanthus candy taro seedlings not far away with his hand.

The smooth taro seedlings have a smooth and refreshing taste, sweet and soft, and the soup is bright and tempting red, exuding a rich osmanthus fragrance, leaving a fragrance after eating.

Choose fresh taro seedlings, steam them and peel them; add special osmanthus syrup and put them in a large pot to make it slowly. When cooking, add a little tart so that the taro seedlings will cook red and attractive colors.

"Yes..." Liu Chun also became generous today, took out his purse and shouted: "Boss, give me three more copies of that..."

When the little guys heard that their mother paid without hesitation, they all shook their little heads happily.

On the other side, Zhao Lu and Zhou Xin's family first found a store to buy some clothes. The clothes were all in summer. Because it was winter, it was cheap to buy summer clothes. And they were all second-hand clothes. However, even second-hand clothes were good materials in the eyes of Zhao Lu and Zhou Xin's wife, and the prices were cheap. You don't know how much Zhou Jingtong and Maizi bought.

After buying it, I also went to a small stall for lunch.

What they eat is skin and belly noodles... This skin and belly is also called flesh skin. It is made of fresh pork skin and is made of pig hind legs and back skin. The skin is hard and thick, with good hair growth, and the skin in other parts is poor. After the dry skin is swelled, it can be cut into shreds, slices, etc., which is suitable for cooking methods such as mixing, roasting, chopping, and making soup.

Each person had a bowl of noodles, sat on the streets of Yingtian, watching the people coming and going, and they were very happy to eat.

As for Aunt Wang and his group, the place they went was very interesting. The restaurant where Zhu Lang posted two couplets last time. Zhao Ling personally guarded Aunt Wang, oh... I forgot to explain that behind the Zhu family, each team followed the people of the personal army's commander. This was what Zhu Lang asked, so Zhu Lang felt relieved to the Zhu family.

"It's you...!"

The restaurant shopkeeper recognized Zhu Erbao at a glance. What a good guy, how can I not recognize him? The last time I almost wiped out the snacks in his restaurant, so the restaurant shopkeeper was very impressed.

Seeing the surprise of the restaurant shopkeeper, at this time, Aunt Wang laughed: "Shopkeeper... Don't worry, we brought the money today and won't eat you for nothing. I just hope you can help arrange a location where you can see my grandson's couplet. Thank you."

"You are Mr. Zhu's grandmother... Oh, then you are a distinguished guest. It's really great that your grandson keeps Mobao with me. Many customers come to see your grandson's Mobao. I also said that you would invite your grandson to eat for free for one month, but your grandson has never been there once.

Now, you are here, I will treat you to eat today, I hope you can enjoy the food..."

The shopkeeper of this restaurant is quite sensible. When Aunt Wang heard that the shopkeeper of the restaurant invited her because of her grandson's talent, this made Aunt Wang happy and nodded and agreed.
