Chapter 49 Date mud cake?

After coming out of the bookstore, Li Luotang saw the Nishangfang across the street, "Shi Shi, the weather is getting hotter, let's go to the ready-to-wear shop to buy some clothes."

"Sister Li, I can sew clothes. I don't have to buy ready-made clothes, just buy cloth." Sai Xishi is still very frugal. Buying ready-made clothes is expensive and buying cloth is cheap.

"You have time. You have to practice qigong, read, and cook. You think you are a superman!" Li Luotang said angrily.

"What is Superman?" Saisishi asked curiously.

The focus is wrong! Girl.

Li Luotang's mind was running rapidly, "Superman is a god."

"Oh" Sai Xishi understood.

The two walked into Nishangfang, and the guy smiled and greeted him, "Hello, young master, hello, miss. Who wants to buy clothes?"

"Buy all men's and women's clothing, take out your new clothes." Li Luotang found that this shop also sells some accessories, folding fans, purses, round fans and sachets for men.

"Miss, these pieces are made of light Luosha, and all the nobles in Beijing love to wear them." The guy first introduced women's clothing.

The laws and regulations of this dynasty clearly stipulate the clothing. There are no taboos in color except bright yellow. In terms of fabrics, no brocade, satin, silk should be worn by ordinary people.

Li Luotang reached out and touched the material below, "It's very thin and soft, and it's just right in summer. Shi, which color do you like?"

"Hey, it's so thin and has such big sleeves, so it's not easy to wear to work." Sai Xishi said disgusted.

"Wear when you don't work." Li Luotang glared at her.

"Oh" Sai Shi shrank his neck, "I like pink."

"Okay, I'll want this pink set, and then I'll get a sachet of the same color and an embroidered round fan." Li Luotang said.

"Wrap this set up." The guy told the guy.

The guy continued: "These pieces are spinning and are embroidered with flower-picking. Look, is this butterfly vivid?"

Li Luotang nodded, indeed, lifelike, "Shi Shi, do you like it?"

"I like it." Sai Xishi smiled sweetly.

"I want it." Li Luotang said generously.

Here is a big dealer! It’s a big business!

The guy laughed from ear to ear.

Li Luotang bought four sets of clothes for Sai Xishi, four matching round fans and sachets; he bought four sets of men's robes and picked two folding fans.

With a "bang", he opened the fan and shook it gently. Li Luotang raised his eyebrows and asked, "How?"

"It's good to watch, just like the song in the play, what kind of young master is like jade." Sai Xishi's words are scarce.

"The elegant young man is unparalleled in the world, and the gentleman on the road is as gentle as jade." Li Luotang helped her make up for it.

"Yes, yes, yes." Sai Xishi nodded like pounding garlic.

Eight sets of clothes, plus accessories, cost 260 taels of silver.

Sai Xishi was stunned, "This is too expensive!"

"It's not expensive, it's worth the money." Li Luotang said with a smile.

After leaving Nishangfang, they went to the market. Li Luotang said that he would eat fried meatballs at noon, so he had to buy pork belly.

Before we arrived at the market, we heard someone shouting: "I came from overseas and bought a secret pearl-beautiful rose fragrance powder. I sold it cheaply. I bought it for three taels of silver. The girl wiped it. It was white, tender and beautiful. It was so fragrant that it was adorable. Come and buy it."

"This lie is ridiculous. If it really comes from overseas, it can be sold on street stalls." Li Luotang sneered.

The onlookers also said, "Brother, what kind of fragrant powder do you sell? You can even say it's cheap for a few taels of silver."

"This aunt, as the saying goes, "It's cheap but not good, and good goods are not cheap. This fragrant powder is mixed with pearl powder. Think about it, how much silver can you buy a pearl? Moreover, this box of powder not only uses excellent pearls, but also has various precious medicinal materials and spices. It comes from overseas and applies it to the face to make the skin look white and red, pink and tender." said the boy selling the goods.

It seems to make sense, but the pearls in the fragrance powder are not made of the round big pearls, so the fragrance powder with pearl powder is not cheap, but it is definitely less than three taels of silver per box. There is also the amount of powder even if medicinal materials and spices are mixed in the powder.

"Let's go, Shi Shi." Li Luotang was not interested in fakes.

Sai Xishi grabbed her sleeve, "Sister Li, I sound very familiar to me."

"The voice is familiar, it may be someone you know. Let's squeeze in and take a look." Li Luotang pulled away the onlookers.

The two squeezed in, and Sai Xishi recognized the person who sold rouge at a glance as her childhood friend, "Xiangxiang." Li Luotang, a master who disguised as a man, also saw that this person was disguised as a man like her.

"Shi Shi! Why are you here?" Xiang Xiang asked in surprise.

"It's a long story, let's find a place to talk." Sai Xishi said.

Xiangxiang hesitated for a moment and put away the boxes of fragrant powder placed in the small back box, "Let's talk to you next to you."

"There is a tea shed in front of you. You don't have to pay for it." Li Luotang was not interested in squatting on the roadside to chat.

Rushi and the other three went to the tea shed in front and ordered a pot of tea and a plate of date cakes. Sai Xishi and Xiangxiang talked about the situation after their separation. After Xiangxiang died, she came to Lin'an with her mother to join her relatives. Who knew that the relative had moved away and was missing.

The mother and daughter were lingering, but fortunately the inn owner saw that they were pitiful and kept them in the inn to help the servants. However, it was raining all night, and the boat was in a storm. Xiangxiang's mother fell ill. In order to treat her mother, Xiangxiang helped a group of merchants to make money by selling goods and making money by the inn owner's introduction.

Li Luotang didn't listen carefully to them. She ate jujube cake while drinking tea. Although it was a slightly simple tea shed on the roadside, the pastry tasted good, with a strong jujube fragrance, soft and delicate, and a sweet taste.

"Sister Li, can you give me ten taels of silver?" Sai Xishi asked.

Li Luotang took out a few pieces of silver from his purse, about ten taels, and handed them to Sai Xishi. Sai Xishi turned around and gave the silver to Xiangxiang, "Xiangxiang, please take it to the doctor to treat your mother."

"Teach, thank you, I will definitely return it to you." Xiangxiang said gratefully.

"If you have something to do, you can come to Hongfu Inn to find me." Sai Xishi said.

Xiangxiang nodded, "Shi Shi, I'll leave first." She trotted along with her back box with her ten taels of silver in her arms.

Li Luotang made up the tea money and continued to go to the market with Sai Xishi. He bought pork belly, pork ribs, pork liver, duck, chicken feet and duck gizzards and other dishes. Sai Xishi said again: "Sister Li, buy some seasonings and you can eat chicken feet and duck gizzards as snacks."

"Okay." Li Luotang agreed happily, and it was a great pleasure to read novels while eating.

Before entering the shop selling seasonings, I smelled the unique fragrance of seasonings. Li Luotang inhale vigorously, "This fragrance makes people feel salivating."

Sai Xishi smiled and bought some braised ingredients. The two of them walked for another half an hour before returning to the inn.

Just as the three of them were busy in the kitchen, Ren Juege came back and walked to the kitchen, "Tangtang, Shishi, I'm back."

"Senior Brother, I'll be able to have lunch later." Sai Xishi smiled sweetly.

Li Luotang hurriedly walked out and asked, "Brother Ren, how are the things done?"

"It's done." Ren Yuge hesitated for a moment and did not say that another mountain citizen was killed.
