The Xiao Mansion is in the inner city, close to the imperial palace, so there are no markets around, and the daily necessities of the rich and powerful families need to be spent, and their own stewards go out to buy, or have a special person deliver it to their door.

After leaving the inner city, it is not so quiet. There are many restaurants and merchants, and people come and go, making it much more noisy.

Xiao Lingchuan drove a carriage and took his wife to the west of the city, put the carriage in the cart and horse shop, and the husband and wife went shopping together in the market with a vegetable basket.

"Husband, look over there, there are cloth tiger sellers!"

Li Haitang took a few steps forward, and was attracted by a cloth tiger placed in front of a woman. There were dozens of them, big and small, with cute naive looks, vivid expressions, and a little joy.

Xiao's mother doesn't like the food and toys made by ordinary people, and Li Haitang rarely buys them back.

Since she regained her status, she has not been able to travel freely. There are too many maids and women in Xiao's residence, who are surrounded by her left and right, for fear that others will not know that she is a noble person. In the past, she had much less fun, and Li Haitang felt that she was restricted in freedom.

No, when they went out on this trip, the couple found the simplest carriage, and their clothes didn't dare to be too bright.

"If you like it, buy it if you like it."

Xiao Lingchuan took the lead in squatting down to pick and feel the cloth. The tiger's body is made of fine cotton, which feels good to the touch. The slightly larger ones can also be used as small pillows.

The Xiao Mansion can't be taken back, but it doesn't matter, the couple already had a secret place.

"Buy, buy, buy!"

Li Haitang rubbed her hands. She and Xiao Lingchuan secretly bought a small house in the west of the city. It was halfway through. There were two rooms in the front yard and a small garden in the back.

The reason for buying a yard is very simple. Xiao Lingchuan wants a space where the couple can be alone, away from the family, while Li Haitang hopes to have a place where he can store his favorite gadgets.

So, even after buying the house for a year, the neighbors didn't know that this yard lived in a big man.

"My aunt, can you keep these cloth tigers for me first?"

There were too many people in the market, people came and went, it was inconvenient to carry the cloth tiger, Li Haitang was afraid of coming back, the cloth tiger was bought, so he had to discuss with the woman.

"Yes, yes, but when are you coming back?"

The woman hesitated, feeling that she had met a big customer.

These days, women in every household know how to do needlework, and making cloth tigers is not a technical job, basically everyone can do it, and she is just a skillful handicraft.

Her family doesn't live in the west of the city, and it's still ten miles away. If it's too late, she can't wait.

"Otherwise, I'll take care of all these cloth tigers."

When Li Haitang heard this, it was not a big deal to buy them all, and it would be nice to put them on the newly made sofa at home.

After paying the deposit, the couple walked all the way inside.

It was getting late, but the market showed no signs of dispersing. On the contrary, there were more and more people, and some places had to turn sideways to pass.

"Salted crispy pork, delicious salty crispy pork!"

In front, someone yelled, and there was a long line behind, many people stood on tiptoe, counting the people in front of them, and counting how many people would have their turn.

Generally, this kind of grand event can only be found in time-honored shops.

When Li Haitang heard the crispy salted meat, his eyes lit up a little, and he turned to ask his savage husband beside him, "Why don't we buy some and try?"

Xiao Lingchuan has been very cautious about this since she had stomach problems after eating folk snacks.

"Little lady, let's have one, it's really delicious and not foolish!"

"That's right, hurry up and line up, otherwise the meat will run out, and the store will stop opening today."

An old man queuing up was heartbroken, "I just struggled with it for a little while yesterday, so I didn't eat. I thought about it all night, and I didn't sleep well at night!"

Food is the most important thing for the people. For foodies, regardless of age or status, their eyes are bright when they see delicious food.

Xiao Lingchuan walked to the front of the line and took a look. The store was frying meat on high fire. After a while, the golden crispy meat was scooped up, steaming, and the air was filled with a scent. It's looking forward to.

The oil in the frying pan was clear, and it looked like it was newly replaced. The shop owner was wearing gloves and a hat, and looked in good hygiene. Xiao Lingchuan nodded, saying that the crispy salted meat can still be tasted.

"Hey, big man, what are you doing standing by, you have to line up!"

The aunt who was crowded in the front looked at Xiao Lingchuan with suspicion in her eyes, and she was still struggling in her heart. If this person wanted to forcefully jump in line, she would agree or not.

At this moment, the store has begun to wrap the meat in oiled paper, twenty cents a piece, and a piece looks like three or four taels.

The crispy salted pork is deep-fried and placed in a paper bag. If you eat it spicy, it is sprinkled with secret seasonings to make you more appetizing.

"One hundred coins, give this to me."

Xiao Lingchuan looked at the line. If he waited here, he would definitely not be able to line up in less than half an hour. After all, it takes time to fry meat.

He chose the aunt who suspected him of jumping the queue, and decided to seduce him with money.

After deducting the cost of 20 renminbi, selling the salted crispy meat made a net profit of 80 renminbi, and I could buy four more copies.

The aunt agreed almost without thinking, but handed over the oiled paper bag with reluctance in her eyes, Xiao Lingchuan suspected that if he took a slow step, the aunt would snatch the paper bag back.

Li Haitang tied a piece of crispy meat with a bamboo stick, put it in Xiao Lingchuan's mouth first, then quickly tied another piece, squinting his eyes to chew.

The outside is burnt and the inside is tender, soft, the meat is full of fragrance, and there is a little bit of numbing taste, which is very delicious.

That's strange asking for twenty yuan, and there are so many people queuing up.

The gourmet food is among the people, even the first-class restaurants in Kyoto can't make such delicious food.

Li Haitang walked forward while eating, and the two bought some meat and ribs, a live fish and some vegetables, and waited to return to the small courtyard to cook a meal.

On weekdays in the mansion, almost all servants prepare and serve them up, and the taste is good, but just living life, I always feel that it is not so practical, and it lacks the smell of fireworks.

The couple hadn't been here for a while, and there was a speck of dust floating in the house.

Li Haitang fetched water to wash it, and after a while she was so tired that her waist ached and her legs ached. She muttered, "Sure enough, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal!"

Thinking back to the days when I lived on the mountain, it was still so beautiful.

It's a pity that people always have to return to reality. Unknowingly, she was fooled by Yu Feiling to take on a lot of hard work.

In the kitchen, Xiao Lingchuan was chopping minced meat, facing the lady's muttering, he licked the corners of his lips.

After a few days, the bean bags will be delivered to Baishan, and the house will be clean for a while.

Yu Feiling was looking for something for her wife, and wanted to be free, how could there be such a good thing? So, he also found something for Yu Feiling.
