Author: Potato Sweet Potato Pie

There was a toothbrush in the Ming Dynasty. It had a paulownia wood pole with dozens of small holes punched into the brush head and pig bristles inside.

Then dip it in a tooth powder that smells a bit bitter, and then start brushing your teeth.

Although it is not comparable to the toothbrushes and toothpastes of later generations, it can definitely clean teeth. The toothpowder can even make bubbles.

Xia Yuan felt that it was very humane, and this kind of toothbrush and tooth powder had been available as early as the Song Dynasty, which broke his understanding of ancient people using willow branches dipped in salt to clean their teeth.

After washing, the two went to the stove. The little girl held the edge of the stove, opened the lid of the large pot, took out a large bowl of meat and vegetables, and put it on the table.

Xia Yuan noticed that this bowl of food was like a hodgepodge, including chicken legs and half-cooked elbows. They should be leftovers from yesterday's wedding banquet.

Afterwards, two bowls of porridge were scooped out and placed on the table. The two sat opposite each other. Xia Yuan ate quickly, but his eating style was quite elegant. With the meat and vegetables on the table, the porridge in the bowl had already gone down.

Most of it.

However, he found that Xiao Douding, who was sitting across from him, had not made any move to pick up the food, but was just drinking the rice soup from the bowl.

"Why don't you eat vegetables?"

"I'm not hungry, husband"

"Do you want to tell me again that you are easy to support?"

Xia Yuan interrupted her directly, put a chicken leg in her bowl, "Since I have kept you, no matter what you are like, whether you are easy to feed or not, I will not drive you away.

Yes, so when you eat, eat as hard as you can and don’t starve yourself all the time. Besides, this is the time when you are growing. If you don’t eat enough now, you won’t be able to grow taller in the future.”

Xia Yuan talked a lot, Zhao Yuerong hummed in a low voice, picked up the chicken drumstick and took a small bite.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yuan was satisfied. Xiao Douding was as skinny as anything, and he was embarrassed to tell others that she was his wife when he went out.

It is only right to eat more and take care of your body quickly.

Xia Yuan finished the porridge in the bowl and refused her move to refill the porridge for him. Then he ordered: "You continue to eat. The porridge in the pot and the remaining vegetables are all yours. Remember to put these

Eat them all, don’t leave any leftovers, I want to go out.”

"Where are you going, husband?"

"Capital."

Xia Yuan was not talking nonsense when he said he was going to the capital. He really wanted to go to the capital.

Xiajiazhuang where he is located is within Daxing County. Of course, there is a big difference between Daxing in the Ming Dynasty and Daxing in later generations.

After the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Daxing in later generations was first merged into Hebei, and then merged with Nanyuan, thus forming Daxing in later generations.

Now Daxing seems to be at its peak moment, and it is still the Daxing County that has the reputation of being the best county in the world.

Shuntian Mansion, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is divided into two along the central axis, with the Drum Tower as the boundary. The east side is under the jurisdiction of Daxing County, and the west side is under the jurisdiction of Wanping.

Even the county government of Daxing County is located in the capital, which is called Chengneiguo. It is located in Daxing Hutong in the DC area of ​​the later capital.

Xia Yuan felt that he was lucky enough to travel back in time. The capital of the Ming Dynasty insisted on visiting it even if he wanted to. This was incidental. The main purpose was to see what business opportunities there were.

Hearing this, the little girl did not ask him why he was going to the capital. Instead, he directly put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Husband, please wait for me."

After saying that, he got up and ran out the door.

After a while, the little girl ran back again. The difference from before was that she had an oil-paper umbrella, a cloth bag, and a water bag in her arms.

"Husband, please take these things. There are some steamed buns left from yesterday's wedding banquet. I put them all in a cloth bag, and my husband will eat them on the road."

Xia Yuan looked up at the sky. It didn't look like it was going to rain, but he didn't refuse. He took the things and opened the bag and took a look. There were indeed a few yellowed steamed buns inside.

"Okay, I'll take you out. You wait at home for me to come back. Don't go out and run around."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xia Yuan found that he had inadvertently used the tone of talking to a child again.

"Um."

Fortunately, Zhao Yuerong didn't pay attention. Instead, he responded sweetly and sent Xia Yuan all the way to the entrance of the hospital.

At this time, the sky was already bright. Xia Yuan walked forward for a while, turned around, and could still see the small figure at the door of his house.

The little girl was leaning against the doorframe, looking at herself.

What is this, the husband travels thousands of miles and the wife worries?

Although the little girl looks a little immature, she is very wifely.

Xia Yuan felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart and waved towards her.

The little figure also raised its slender arms and waved at him.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but smile, turned his head, and continued walking forward. People in the village got up early and met many people along the way, all of whom greeted him.

He also responded one by one. Xiajiazhuang is located in the east of Daxing, about thirty miles away from the capital. If you rely on two feet alone, it will take two or three hours to walk.

Today is not a market day, otherwise you can go to the village entrance to ride a donkey cart. According to Xia Yuan's understanding, every market day, the village entrance becomes a bus station, and the donkey cart is equivalent to a bus.

Xia Yuan held the steamed bun in his hand and walked forward silently while nibbling. He had already made up his mind to walk to the capital. It was already getting dark anyway, so it would be noon when he walked there. It was summer again and it was dark.

late.

I can definitely go shopping until three or four in the afternoon and then go home.

While he was thinking about it, there was a sound of soft footsteps. Xia Yuan looked around and saw a little girl about seven or eight years old, wearing homespun clothes, leading a cow and passing by not far away. When she turned to look at him, she looked timid.

of.

That timid little expression is exactly the same as that of my little daughter-in-law.

Unfortunately, in terms of appearance, although they are both lolita, my little lolita has a pretty and cute face, willowy eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. Apart from her somewhat shriveled figure, she is simply the best little goldfish in the eyes of a weirdo.

Of course, the skin color may not be very fair and may have a slight yellowish tint, but that is purely due to malnutrition.

In this case, as long as you eat well and raise them all winter, you can keep them in vain.

As for this younger lolita, she can barely be considered to have straight facial features, a dark complexion, and a little more runny nose on her face.

With the memory of his previous life, Xia Yuan could naturally recognize who this little girl was. She didn't have a name yet. People in the village called her Erniu. Her occupation was to help the Xia rich man's family in the west end of the village herd cattle.

A very promising career, in the same category as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, except that the cattle herded by Lao Zhu belonged to the wealthy man Liu's family, while the cattle she herded belonged to the wealthy man Xia's family.

He looked at this little lolita who had no potential to conquer the country. The little lolita was also looking at him. To be precise, she was staring at the steamed bun in Xia Yuan's hand with envious eyes and swallowed hard.

Xia Yuan lowered his head to look at the steamed buns in his hand, then waved to Er Niu with a smile, "Er Niu, come here!"

"do what?"

"Don't ask, it's good to ask."

Hearing this, Erniu looked at him for a while, then led the cow and moved over hesitantly step by step.

Seeing the little girl coming over, Xia Yuan smiled even more kindly, as if he was trying to kidnap the little girl to see the goldfish.

Then he dug around in the cloth bag and took out two yellowed steamed buns.

Looking at the two big yellow steamed buns, Erniu's eyes widened and she swallowed even harder.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yuan smiled more and more amiably. He handed over two yellow steamed buns and said, "Here, take it and eat it."

"Give it to me?" Erniu opened her eyes wide, looking a little in disbelief.

"Yes, this is for you, take it and eat it."

Erniu stared at the steamed bun and hesitated for a while, then looked around and found no one nearby, so she reached out to take the steamed bun and timidly said: "Thank you, Brother Yuan."

Seeing the snot-nosed girl staring at the two buns in her hands with a face that was so happy that she couldn't believe it, Xia Yuan felt a little emotional, touched the little girl's head, and turned to leave.
