Chapter 28 I'm Not Sleepy Anymore

When he saw the East City Gate from afar, Yu Song suddenly turned into an alley on the side of the road, found the third house and knocked on the door. Soon a middle-aged man about the same age as Yu Erlang ran out.

"Uncle Zhu, I'm bringing my parents to see the shop." Yu Song greeted the other party.

Uncle Zhu was stunned for a moment when he saw Yu Song, but he smiled after hearing what Yu Song said. He bowed to Yu Sanlang and his wife, turned around and closed the door, and led the Yu family to the shop while smiling:

"Oh, Young Master Yu, you are really fast. I thought you would come the next day or the day after tomorrow."

Uncle Zhu was probably very satisfied that Yu Song did not shake him off and went directly to negotiate with the landlord, so he whispered to Yu Song: "After you left yesterday, two more groups of people came to see it. They wanted to lower the price, but the landlord insisted on thirty taels and refused to lower the price, so now several groups of people are competing with each other."

This shop is very close to the East City Gate. The storefront is shabby, with no plaque or sign, and it looks gray among a row of shops.

Except for Yu Song, Yu Sanlang, Xu Shi and Yu Hongdou all frowned when they saw the shop front.

The shop is closed now, and one has to go through a small door at the back of the yard to enter and exit. The door is extremely narrow and the wall is mostly damaged.

Uncle Zhu knocked on the back door, and soon the homeowner opened the door and came out. He was not surprised to see Yu Song and the Yu family members behind him. He nodded and let the few people in.

Entering the yard from the back door is a square courtyard with a patio that is more than four meters in size. There is a shed next to the north wall of the yard, and under the shed there is a simple stove and firewood.

The house in the yard is a two-character structure, with a shop in the front and three small houses in the back.

The three rooms are not big, only about three meters wide. The middle one is the main room, with a few broken tables and chairs.

The two rooms on the left and right are bedrooms. Both have kangs. The windows are newly replaced, but the window paper is torn. They should be second-hand window frames removed from other old houses.

Entering the shop, I found that the shop was slightly wider than the house in the backyard, but only about four meters. It was empty inside and looked much cleaner and more spacious than the house behind.

Such a house and yard are obviously not suitable for living at home. The house is also dilapidated. It would cost a lot of money to buy it and renovate it. However, Yu Sanlang decided to buy it directly.

He hasn't figured out what to sell yet. Although the shop is shabby, the location is still good. He doesn't know whether he can do any business on his own, so he's just occupying a location first. If he can't do business on his own, he can rent it out.

Uncle Zhu and the landlord were delighted to see that the Yu family was so willing to make the decision. They must have known that the shop would be hard to sell at that price, so they couldn't wait to take the Yu family to the government office to handle the transfer.

Yu Sanlang paid thirty taels of silver as rent and nearly several hundred wen in deed tax, and soon got the deed and keys to the shop.

Yu Hongdou lay on her brother's shoulder, holding onto her father's hand and staring at the title deed for several seconds. The title deed was also written in regular script, but the writer's handwriting was a little cursive and sloppy, and Yu Hongdou still couldn't recognize some of the words.

It includes the seller, location and size of the house, reason for sale, price, witnesses, etc., which is similar to the house deeds of later generations.

After getting the house deed, the four members of the Yu family were a little excited. Yu Sanlang gave Uncle Zhu a few hundred coins according to the commission of the pawnshop.

Uncle Zhu was very happy and kept thanking the owner. He also said that if the shop was to be rented out, just tell him and he would help keep an eye out for it. Then he left with the owner.

"I didn't expect that the sale of this shop would go so smoothly. I have wasted time here, but it has temporarily solved a worry. Let's go have lunch." Yu Sanlang raised his finger to the ground and looked at the shadow. He knew it was getting late. His wife and children should be hungry.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, Hongdou, I'll take you to eat at a restaurant. That shop has introduced several new dishes. One of them is called Shaobai and the other one is called Youlian Chicken, which is particularly good." When Yu Song mentioned food, his eyes lit up. It was obvious that these two dishes were very much to his liking.

"I want to see how delicious it is and why it makes you so happy." Seeing her son so excited, Mrs. Xu scolded him.

Having not seen her son for a few days, she was worried and missed him. When she saw him coming back from the yamen, her son acted like an adult, and Xu was proud and distressed. Now that she saw her son regain his ease and playfulness as he was at home, she was also very happy.

The family of four arrived at the restaurant that Yu Song mentioned. Yu Song ordered four dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. After chatting about family matters for a while, the dishes were served.

When Yu Hongdou heard about shaobai, she started looking forward to it. As far as she knew, shaobai was a classic dish in Sichuan and Chongqing, and it was also a dish that Yu Hongdou must order when traveling in Sichuan and Chongqing, especially the sweet shaobai, which had the aroma of meat and glutinous rice combined with the sweet and spicy flavors, making it a very memorable dish.

The area where she is now is a bit like the Central Plains, so Yu Hongdou is not sure what the Shaobai dish her brother is talking about is.

As soon as the dishes were served, Yu Hongdou took a look at them first, but after one glance, she was immediately speechless.

The sliced ​​meat that looked like the Shaobai in Sichuan and Chongqing in the future did not attract Yu Hongdou's attention. Instead, the spicy chicken with red oil and a green hat on the side caught her eye first...

When chili peppers and peppercorns were not yet popular, I suddenly saw a dish seasoned with sesame oil and red oil. How did Yu Hongdou feel about it?

Well, Yu Hongdou can tell you with certainty that this is not a simple dish, it is the almighty halo of the heroine.

How could a dish with the heroine's halo not be delicious? Yu Hongdou ate this meal in a complicated and unbearable way. Her belly was round and she had a whole bowl of rice. If Xu hadn't stopped her from behind, she would have finished it all.

There is no way. In an era of lack of oil, salt and few seasonings, it is difficult to eat something heavy!

The meal was so filling that Yu Hongdou was not only too full to walk, but also a little drowsy.

Yu Sanlang felt both amused and distressed when he saw his daughter like this.

If he ate well normally, how could he be so full? He made up his mind to live in the city so that his wife and daughter could eat whatever they wanted and wear whatever they wanted.

"Put Hongdou in the backpack and tell her to sleep. Let's buy things quickly and go back early." Yu Sanlang said as he put his daughter into the backpack he was carrying. The backpack was big and Hongdou was small, so it was just right.

Yu Hongdou was swaying on her father's back, her eyelids drooping. When she was about to fall asleep, Yu Sanlang carried her into a furniture store.

Yu Hongdou struggled to open her eyelids and took a look at the sign of the furniture store, and was dazzled by the green light inside the store.

[Sign-in location: Musheng Furniture Store, Wu'an County. Do you need to sign in at 2 o'clock? ]

[Successful sign-in: Get a red rosewood Qiangong Babu bed. ]

Now I am not sleepy anymore!

Yu Hongdou raised her hand to rub her eyes but accidentally touched the sign-in icon, and her sleepiness disappeared instantly.
