The new book of the burning prairie star

Chapter 279 You are tired from the journey, let's handle the official business tomorrow

"Husband, the journey was quite peaceful." After a long journey of three days and three nights, they finally arrived at Qianpu Prefecture.

"Well," Yang Biao thought about sending her home first, and then going to Guangshu Prefecture to supervise public security.

If these five northern cities want to develop, they must pay attention to public security issues, take measures to strengthen security management in the cities, improve people's sense of security and quality of life, and create a good economic, social and cultural environment.

"Husband, you must be tired after the journey. Let's handle the official business tomorrow." Seeing that he was reluctant to get out of the car, Xia Weiwei probably wanted to go to the government office. She directly pulled him out of the car and there was no rush to handle the official business.

"Oh..." He was about to say that he still had things to do and let Xia Weiwei take the children in first, but when he saw Zhuo Qiu running over and hugging his legs, he immediately decided to stay with the mother and children and set off for Guangshu Mansion early tomorrow morning.

"Daddy, Zhuo Qiu is hungry!" He hugged Yang Biao tightly and looked up at his parents with his little face.

"Then what does Zhuo Qiu want to eat?" Xia Weiwei did not let go of Yang Biao's hand, but squatted down and asked him.

"Daddy, Zheqiu is hungry too!" Zheqiu was carried out of the car by Xia Yi, but he insisted on getting out and walking by himself. He was young and walked a little slowly.

"Once a boy starts to walk, he doesn't want to be held in arms." Seeing that Xia Yi still wanted to hold the kid, Yang Biao spoke out to stop her.

He knew little boys very well. They are full of energy and proper exercise can promote bone nutrition and benefit bone development.

Exercise not only promotes sleep, but also helps grow taller.

"Come on, Zhuo Qiu, go buy vegetables with daddy!" Yang Biao wanted to take him to the market to buy vegetables and experience the life of ordinary people. At this time, Zhe Qiu came over and hugged his legs.

"Our Zheqiu also wants to go shopping for groceries with daddy?" Seeing that he was holding her tightly, Xia Weiwei asked with a smile.

"Daddy, take Zheqiu away!" The little guy raised his face and looked at him pleadingly.

"Give Kang Qiu to me." Seeing the wet nurse standing by with the child in her arms and watching, Xia Weiwei reached out and took the child. Her husband and two children had gone to the market, and she wanted to go too.

"Jinrong, pack up your things. We're going to the market to buy some vegetables." After giving the instructions, Xia Weiwei got in the car.

"Madam, you can't wear fancy clothes when you go to the market. It will attract too much attention." She was already beautiful, and with the addition of gorgeous clothes, Yang Biao didn't want others to stare at her, so he reached out and took off the gold and silver hairpins and jewelry on her head.

"Mom, why did you become darker?" Yang Biao applied some plant dye on her face. Zhuo Qiu looked at her appearance and found it had changed drastically. He was a little confused.

"Mom will change back to her original form after we finish buying vegetables." Xia Weiwei glared at Yang Biao a little annoyed. It was just a matter of going to the market to buy vegetables. Was it necessary to change her appearance like this?

"We're at the vegetable market. Come on, Zhuoqiu, Zheqiu, let's go buy some vegetables!" Yang Biao took out a women's coarse cloth dress from the box in the car and put it on her, and then he also changed into coarse cloth shorts.

"Dad, why do I have to change clothes?" Zhuo Qiu didn't understand why he had to take off his new clothes and put on the coarse cloth clothes that made him uncomfortable.

"The vegetable market is very dirty. When we buy vegetables, if we accidentally stain our new clothes, we won't be able to wash them clean."

He couldn't tell his children that he dressed like this so that he could buy vegetables smoothly. Of course, he also wanted to get a close look at what was in the vegetable basket of ordinary people.

"Oh, okay." Zhuo Qiu tilted his head and thought about it. He really would not want his favorite clothes to be dirty.

"Daddy, buy some fish!" Zheqiu went to the aquatic area and looked at the fish swimming around excitedly. Yang Biao wanted to pull him forward, but he refused.

"Miss, son-in-law, let me stay here with the young master." Seeing that he was having so much fun, Xia Yi didn't have the heart to interrupt his interest.

"Okay, then you play with him for a while and meet him at Caishikou in half an hour." Children's happiness is simple, and Yang Biao didn't want to spoil his fun.

"Hey, where is Zhuo Qiu?" Xia Weiwei was holding Kang Qiu, and when she turned around, she couldn't see her eldest son.

"Shi Rui is with us, nothing will happen to us!" Yang Biao took the child and led her to the meat stall holding her hand.

"Boss, buy ten pounds of pork belly and six pounds of lean meat." Yang Biao also considers appearance when buying meat, so he found a butcher with a kinder face.

"Oh, okay." The butcher was very happy. Ordinary people bought meat in half a pound or a pound. Those who bought so much at one time like him usually ran restaurants, inns and other businesses.

"Boss, where does this meat come from?" Yang Biao wanted to know about the local breeding situation, so he asked him where the pigs came from.

"Hey, I could only buy live pigs locally before. I heard that our prefect was promoted. After becoming the governor of the north, he will be in charge of six prefectures. As soon as he took office, he vigorously suppressed bandits. There are more soldiers patrolling the city. Now we feel at ease when we go out of town. Now I dare to go to the neighboring Hejian Prefecture to buy live pigs."

With more channels for purchasing live pigs, the corresponding purchase price has also dropped, so the money earned naturally has increased, and the butcher can't stop smiling.

"Brother, two hundred and forty cents!" Seeing that he was holding a child in one hand and holding a dark-faced woman in the other, it was not easy for the butcher to carry so much meat, so he filled his own bamboo basket with the meat he bought and gave it to him.

"Okay, I'll give you two hundred and fifty coins and I'll buy your bamboo basket." Yang Biao let go of the hand that was holding the person, let her hold the child, took out one or two taels of silver from his purse and handed it to the butcher, then put the bamboo basket on his back.

"Okay, I'll give you 750 coins." The butcher agreed and gave him the change. He bought this bamboo basket for 8 coins two days ago, and he would ask his wife to buy it later.

"Hey, who do you think this guy is?" Seeing him carrying a bamboo basket and holding a child, walking forward with his wife, and followed by more than a dozen young men, the butcher asked his wife who was standing beside him.

"Mind your business. Why does a grown man like to ask around?" Seeing someone coming to the stall to buy meat, of course making money is the most important thing now, his wife replied unhappily.

"Oh, where do you want to buy the meat?" He thought he would become rich if he listened to his wife, so he hurried to greet the guests.

"Husband, let's buy some shrimps and take them back. Zhuo Qiu likes to eat them." The two of them continued to stroll in the vegetable market with the child. When Xia Weiwei saw someone selling shrimps, she hurriedly pulled him over.

"Okay, let's go!" Yang Biao was a little curious. He wanted to know how the ancient people kept these shrimps fresh and sold them without oxygenators.

He asked Xia Weiwei to pick the shrimps and walked closer to observe the wisdom produced by the labor of the ancients.

It turned out that the vendor used the siphon principle. He poked a hole on the left and right sides of a large wooden barrel and placed two reed stems of different sizes in it. He then used glue to glue them together to prevent water leakage and increase the airtightness.

Its water inlet is smaller than the water outlet. It uses the gravity of water to create a vacuum-like effect in the large wooden barrel, and then water will flow into the water inlet pipe. Therefore, water flows in on one side and out on the other side to provide oxygen for the shrimp.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Seeing him staring at his wooden barrel, the vendor was a little unhappy.
