2. Chapter 2

Sure enough, when Mrs. Lu heard this, she was very envious: "That's really good. You can do needlework, have read books and can read. You come from a wealthy family and know the rules and etiquette. It's really a blessing for Qin Fang to marry you." That's right. Look at Qin Fang's family. They are beautiful, have good figures, and speak softly. Even a woman likes them. I think Qin Fang must like them very much.

Yang Haiyan has the memory of the original owner, but she has no impression of Qin Fang. The original owner and Qin Fang only met once when they lifted the veil after getting married. At that time, the original owner saw that he was tall and was full of disgust and fear in her heart. She didn't look at him more, so Yang Haiyan didn't have much impression of Qin Fang. In the novel, the original owner is the control group of the heroine, but the heroine is mainly described, so there is less ink on Qin Fang. Therefore, she didn't have a general impression of Qin Fang. She only knew that he was very tall, about 195 cm.

Yang Haiyan: "Sister-in-law, you are too kind. I have only learned a little bit."

The two chatted for a while, and Sister-in-law Lu wanted to wash the dishes for Yang Haiyan, but was rejected by Yang Haiyan. Since she had already woken up, there was no reason for Sister-in-law Lu to serve her.

Sister-in-law Lu saw that she insisted, so she did not force it. But she had a better impression of Yang Haiyan.

Not every household in this family housing area has a well. The well is in a fixed place, so if you need water, you have to go to the well to fetch water.

However, Yang Haiyan looked at the kitchen and found nothing except two pots. It is estimated that the bowls and chopsticks are also from Sister-in-law Lu's house. This is why she can't do anything she wants. After thinking about it, Yang Haiyan went to Sister-in-law Lu's house: "Sister-in-law Lu..." She called at the door.

Sister Lu: "Hey..." She came out of the house, "Qin Fang's family, what's going on?"

Yang Haiyan blushed a little and said, "Sister Lu, I... I don't have any money on me, can you lend me some? I'll return it to you when my husband comes back, I want to buy some things."

Sister Lu patted her legs and said, "Oh, look at my memory. When Qin Fang left, he left me one or two silver coins and asked me to wait for you to wake up before giving it to you. I forgot."

Yang Haiyan: "That's really a big help. Sister Lu, you have to be busy with family affairs and take care of me. How can you take care of it?" She was telling the truth. In the novel, the relationship between Centurion Lu and Qin Fang was good, so Sister Lu took good care of the original owner at the beginning, but later the original owner was too pretentious, and the relationship between the two became strained.

Yang Haiyan took one or two silver coins and asked Sister Lu where the vegetable market was. Sister Lu was worried about her being alone, so she took her there. On the way, we met a few women chatting. Sister Lu introduced Yang Haiyan and explained that Yang Haiyan had taken the wrong medicine before. Everyone knew that Qin Fang's family did not commit suicide by taking poison on the wedding night.

Yang Haiyan: "Sisters-in-law, I'm so sorry. I came from the capital and I don't know if there is a problem with the medicine I brought. It's my fault for making everyone worry about me. When Qin Fang comes back tomorrow, my husband and I will host a dinner and invite everyone to our house to warm up our family."

Seeing that she spoke sensibly, everyone stopped believing the previous rumors and said, "No, no, I'm glad you're okay." What worries? That doesn't exist. It's clear that she is just watching the show. However, no one will admit it.

"Yes, it's good that you are fine. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself."

"That's right. It's a long way from Beijing, so it's inevitable that the medicine will have problems."

Yang Haiyan: "Thank you, sisters-in-law. I just came here and there are many things I don't understand. Please teach me."

Everyone saw that Yang Haiyan was polite and modest, and they had a good impression of her.

After chatting for a while, Yang Haiyan and Sister Lu went to the vegetable market. Sister Lu: "The vegetables in the vegetable market are the most and freshest in the early morning, but some vegetable farmers don't sell all their vegetables in the morning, so they will stay and continue to sell... There are also meat stalls here, there are two meat stalls here, which are fixed..."

When I arrived at the meat stall, there was no pork, and there were a few meatless ribs and two pig's trotters on it.

Yang Haiyan: "Boss, how much are these ribs and pig's trotters?"

The owner of the meat stall was a thin little man. Don't look at his small stature. He can sell meat, so he must be very strong. The butcher said, "These ribs and pig's trotters are all 10 wen per jin, which is only 6 jin in total. Do you want them? If you separate them, the ribs don't cost 10 wen, but the pig's trotters have meat, so it must be more than that."

Sister-in-law Lu: "Isn't this 6 jin too much?"

Yang Haiyan: "I want it all. Sister-in-law, I want to make some soup tomorrow and send it to my husband, so that he knows that I have woken up, so that he won't have to worry about me in the barracks."

Sister-in-law Lu heard it and said, "That makes sense." Although 6 jin is a bit much, it's a bit extravagant for her man, and Qin Fang and his wife don't have children.

Then, the two went to the grocery store and bought sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, fine salt, coarse salt, white rice, brown rice, and flour. All these miscellaneous things added up to 420 wen today. Because there are so many things, the grocery store can deliver to your door.

Then they bought a wooden bucket and basket for carrying water next door. Then they went to buy vegetables, including cabbage and radish. Compared to the ones I bought before, vegetables are really cheap. Finally, I ordered three bundles of firewood. Firewood costs ten coins per bundle, and one bundle weighs one hundred kilograms. Generally, people get three bundles of firewood a month, so the cost is not small. However, firewood can also make money, and there are business opportunities everywhere.

Finally, I bought bowls, chopsticks, spoons, wash basins, bathtubs, clay pots, etc., which cost me one hundred coins.

After returning home, Yang Haiyan was really exhausted. The grocery store and firewood had not been delivered to her door yet. She had just spent 600 coins today, and there were still 400 coins left. She spent money like water.

Yang Haiyan was tired, so she started to deal with ribs and pig's trotters. The ribs on the platform were 32 platform coins per catty, and the pig's trotters were 40 platform coins per catty. She put a catty of ribs and two catties of pig's trotters on the platform, and there were still a catty of ribs and two catties of pig's trotters left, ready to eat herself.

Just after putting them on, they were not traded so quickly. She checked the silver on the platform again. The silver was five platform coins per gram, and one tael of silver was equal to fifty grams, which was equal to two hundred and fifty platform coins.

The ribs and pig's trotters were not sold. The people from the grocery store delivered things. After putting oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and some supplies into the kitchen, it felt that the empty kitchen was full. When three bundles of firewood were delivered, the atmosphere of life in the kitchen became even stronger.

Yang Haiyan has not considered the question of whether to stay or not. It is easy for her to live here, but it is very dangerous for a woman to survive in such a world. There is too little description of Qin Fang in the novel. She will know whether to stay or go after she meets Qin Fang.

Of course, if Qin Fang never comes back from the military camp, Yang Haiyan feels that she can live here forever.

It is almost noon. Although she just ate rice porridge, she feels hungry again. She plans to cook pork rib porridge. But before cooking porridge, she has to fetch a bucket of water first.

In ancient times, small wooden barrels were used to fetch water. Small wooden barrels themselves have weight, so Yang Haiyan can only fetch half a bucket of water with a small wooden barrel. After fetching half a bucket of water, she washed the ribs and put them in the iron pot, and then used a match to light the fire to cook porridge. She cooked a little too much and planned to cook it together with dinner. Fortunately, she is very good at using the stove and is more familiar with cooking.

As the pork ribs porridge was stewing, Yang Haiyan looked at the platform. One pound of pork ribs and two pounds of pig's trotters had been sold, earning a total of 112 platform coins. One hundred and ten platform coins can buy 22 grams of silver, one tael of silver = 50 grams = 1,000 coins, that is, 22 grams of silver = 440 coins, but the cost is three pounds of pork ribs and pig's trotters, 30 coins.

With this calculation, Yang Haiyan plans to make money with pork ribs and pig's trotters, and put the money earned on the platform, and buy silver when she needs it.

Meat is the only thing she can think of, and it will not attract attention. Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan suddenly thought of something, pig intestines.

The pig intestines on the platform are 40 platform coins per pound, and the pig intestines in this world are something that no one wants to eat, and it seems very cheap. Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan decided to buy pig intestines tomorrow to try.

After the ribs were cooked with a strong aroma, Yang Haiyan scooped out half of it for dinner, and cut a dozen cabbage slices. After five minutes, she scooped out a bowl of ribs and cabbage, then put down the cooked rice and went to the next room.

"Sister Lu, are you there?"

Sister Lu: "Yes, I am."

Yang Haiyan: "I made soup, please try my cooking skills, thank you for taking care of me these days."

Sister Lu: "Why are you so polite, no no." But she still felt comfortable in her heart, after all, being appreciated means that her efforts are worthwhile.

Yang Haiyan: "Don't be polite to me, I want to go to the military camp at noon tomorrow, tell my husband that I have woken up, so that he won't worry, so I have to trouble you to lead the way for me."

Sister Lu: "Okay, okay, I won't be polite." There is a give and take, at worst she will treat others next time, so Sister Lu also accepted it readily.

"Mom..."

"Mom, we are back..."

Sister Lu had just collected the dishes when she heard the sound of her two sons coming back. Mrs. Lu has two sons, twins, who are seven years old this year. They study in a private school in the town and go home for lunch at noon.

Yang Haiyan had just walked to the yard, so she heard the voice of the child next door. It was not because the sound insulation was poor, but because she was outside and the child was shouting at the door, so she could hear it naturally.

The pork rib porridge was not ready yet, and Yang Haiyan began to study the platform again to see what things in this world could be taken to the platform to make money. She would not do it if she was asked to take modern crafts to ancient times to exchange for money. The risk was too great, and this risk was not something she and Qin Fang could bear. Don't think that it's so easy for women and men to travel through time in novels, that's just a novel. She is not the heroine, but she doesn't have the aura of the heroine, so she is seeking stability.
