After selling the cakes the next day, Li Hehua moved directly to the rented courtyard.

Before she left, she told Cao Simei that she was going to take a day off from business tomorrow, just to make a day for resettlement.

The small courtyard is fully furnished and can be lived in with a simple cleaning. However, some daily necessities have to be bought by himself. Li Hehua made a list in his mind. After cleaning, he locked the door and went to the shop to buy what he needed.

The family also needs pots and pans and other supplies. Li Hehua simply bought them together with the pots and pans for business. He bought ten small bowls for home use, and then bought fifty big bowls for business use. , followed by kitchen utensils such as chopsticks, spoons and seasonings. It happened that this shop also sold wooden barrels, wooden basins and other items. She simply bought three wooden barrels, three small basins and two large basins together. After buying such a large amount of things, the happy boss took the initiative to give her a discount, and Li Hehua breathed a sigh of relief that she was willing to deliver it to her door, otherwise she would not know how to deliver it home.

After buying it, Li Hehua went to a blacksmith shop and bought two large pots and two small pots, as well as frying spoons and spatulas for cooking, all of which were used in business.

The last thing to buy is a stove. In this era, there is no such thing as an induction cooker or a gas stove. If you want to do business outside, you can build a stove and burn it yourself. Many business people do this, but this is not suitable for her, because the alley Bian is not a big place, and it is easy to get in the way if you build a stove. It is estimated that the residents in other alleys will have opinions, so she plans to buy a stove specially for burning fire, and it is also convenient to move.

In order to do business before, she went to the place where the stove was sold, and found that there was a relatively large stove, which could burn charcoal or firewood. The fire is still about the same. It is perfectly fine to put a pot on it to cook rice and vegetables. The only downside is that this kind of stove is very expensive, so few business people are willing to use it.

Li Hehua went to the place where the stove was sold, picked the largest one, and spent 300 pennies. Although it was a bit of a pain, it was worth it for the convenience.

The first day was used to buy things. On the second day, Li Hehua got up early in the morning and put the things he bought yesterday in a suitable place. He was busy until noon. At this time, this small courtyard It was officially her first home.

Li Hehua was so tired that she sat on the chair to rest her breath. The clothes on her body became wet because of the busy work, and it was uncomfortable to stick to her body. She simply went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water and poured it into a special Buy a big tub for a bath, and prepare to take a good bath.

She used to live in He's house before, and she was embarrassed to take a bath every day, because the peasant family would not spend time and firewood to boil water for bathing every day unless it was summer. This is a big torture for Li Hehua, who is used to bathing every day. Fortunately, now that she has her own residence, she can take a bath whenever she wants, and she can still afford the wasted firewood.

After taking a bath, Li Hehua took out clean clothes and put them on, only to find that the clothes on his body became looser than the previous days, and they didn't fit well.

She seems to have lost weight again.

Li Hehua took off the clothes he just put on again, lowered his head and carefully observed his current body. This was incredible. He found that his waist was a lot thinner than when he first came here, and the swimming ring on his stomach was not so thick. Really shrunk. The legs are also much thinner than before, and the circumference of the legs has shrunk by at least five or six centimeters.

Although she is still quite fat now, she has lost too much weight compared to before. When she just crossed over, she visually estimated that her body weighed 160 to 70 pounds. Now, she estimates that she is only about 140 pounds. Fifty pounds, lost an estimated twenty or thirty pounds.

Li Hehua's mouth grinned involuntarily, feeling that the whole world had become better. If she can keep losing weight at this rate in the future, she will soon be able to lose weight to her ideal weight, and it will be just around the corner to become a beautiful woman again!

Li Hehua can't wait to jump up and jump three times to express his excitement, but considering his current weight, there is still a lot of movement, so he has to try his best to hold back.

However, her current clothes are not suitable anymore, they are all loose and sloppy, and they look sloppy. This is not acceptable. If she stays at home and doesn’t go out, it’s fine, but now she has to go out every day to do business. This appearance is very important. Although it’s not good-looking, it’s the most basic thing to dress neatly and decently. If she wears sloppy clothes every day Li went out to do business sloppy, and it is estimated that the guests did not want to come to eat.

Li Hehua decided to go to the cloth village to make two pieces of clothes that fit together. Although she will continue to lose weight in the future, the newly made clothes will still not be able to be worn in the future, but for the image of doing business, this money cannot be saved. Thinking about it, Li Hehua took the money and went to the cloth village.

Most of the cloth shops now sell cloth, and most women buy cloth and go home to make clothes, which is more cost-effective. But where can she cut cloth and make clothes, she should just ask someone to do it at the cloth village.

Li Hehua went into a cloth shop that looked pretty good. After looking at the shop for a long time, he finally decided to buy coarse cloth. Although coarse cloth was not as comfortable to wear as fine cotton cloth, it was cheaper and would not feel distressed if she did not wear it in the future. You have to wait until you have lost your ideal weight before you can make some clothes, so do it now.

"The shopkeeper, how did you sell this cloth?" Li Hehua asked, pointing to a rough navy blue cloth beside him.

The shopkeeper looked at Li Hehua's clothes, pointed to several coarse cloths of different colors and said to her, "These types of cloths are all five cents a chi."

"Then boss, can your family make clothes directly?"

"Yes, yes, but you have to pay, usually three cents more for one foot of cloth."

Li Hehua nodded and decided to do it here. He picked out another tawny-colored fabric, and said to the boss, "Boss, I want these two colors of fabric. Please help me make two sets of clothes. I don't know how much fabric I need for my figure?"

Hearing this, the boss looked at Li Hehua's figure carefully, and after a while, he put his palm out, "Madame, your figure is quite expensive, usually three or four feet are enough, but you need five feet of cloth to make a suit. Just do it."

Li Hehua was a little embarrassed by what he said. He secretly said that the boss's words were not euphemistic. If he met a careful eye, he would probably turn around and leave in anger, but she was not angry, anyway, she is indeed quite fat now.

"The boss, cut me five feet of each of these two types of cloth, and then make two sets for me according to normal women's clothes. When will it be ready?"

While measuring the length of the cloth with a ruler, the boss replied, "It will take two days, and I will get it in two days, but I have to pay half the deposit first."

Li Hehua was about to pay, but his eyes swept to a blue muslin cloth on the counter, and he suddenly thought of the little guy. This cloth is sure to be good for little ones, it must be good looking.

The clothes on the little guy are also loose and baggy, it should be made by the **. *'s also reluctant to buy muslin for the little guy to make clothes, so the clothes on the little guy are made of coarse cloth, and the child's skin is tender, so wearing such clothes is definitely uncomfortable.

Li Hehua reached out and held the cloth in front of him, "Boss, how do you sell this cloth?"

The boss smiled and said, "This is a fine muslin cloth. It is very comfortable to wear, but the price is also relatively expensive, ten cents a foot."

Ten pennies a chi, which is more than twice as expensive as coarse cloth. It is indeed not cheap, but she is willing to buy it for the little guy, so she said: "Boss, I want to use this cloth as clothes for my children, child. It probably only reaches my thighs." Then he compared the position of his thighs, "The child is thin, only about 30 pounds. Please calculate the fabric you need."

The boss sells fabrics all year round, and he has an accurate estimate of the amount of fabrics. Hearing that, he just thought about it for a moment and then replied: "This child in your family is too thin, so you don't need much fabrics, just two feet."

Li Hehua has no problem with the size, but she doesn't know what styles of children's clothes are popular now, but she hopes to make the little guy the most beautiful look, so she can only ask: "Boss, my child is a boy, what kind of clothes are there? The clothes look better?"

After the boss heard the words "wait a moment", he went straight to the clothes-making compartment at the back. After a while, she came out with a child's ready-made clothes in her hand. She handed it to Li Hehua to see, "This is the latest new item in my house. I made a child's clothes for a guest, and the guest will come to pick it up in two days. This dress looks better, can you just follow this?"

Li Hehua took the clothes over and looked at them, and found that they were two-piece suits. The top was a small shirt with two pockets, and then there was a belt. The bottom was small pants, which were not as loose as the current pants. It should be very spirited to wear, and it does not lose the cuteness of children.

Li Hehua was quite satisfied with the style of this suit, nodded and said, "Then let me make it like this one, but can you help me make this child's suit first? I want to get it tomorrow, okay? ?" Tomorrow, she wanted to see the little guy while she wasn't too busy, and gave him the clothes by the way, otherwise if she opened a food stall, she probably wouldn't be able to see the little guy in a short time.

The boss nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will let the lady of needlework make this child's clothes first, and you can come and get it at noon tomorrow."

After it was settled, Li Hehua took out the money and paid half of the deposit, and the boss gave a note to get the clothes with the note.

......................................................

Early the next morning, Li Hehua had just washed and finished breakfast when there was a knock on the door of the courtyard. It was Cao Simei.

"Big sister, are you here?" Li Hehua welcomed Cao Simei in.

"I'm not late, right? I can't delay the sale of cakes."

"No, it's still early. Most people haven't been to the market yet. Don't worry." Li Hehua poured a glass of water for Cao Simei, "Eldest sister, have you had breakfast yet?"

Cao Simei waved her hand, "I've eaten it, don't be too busy, let's go sell cakes now. The market should be lively in a while."

Seeing that Simei Cao didn't want to rest for a while, Li Hehua didn't persuade him anymore, took out the prepared cakes and handed them two baskets to Simei Cao, and then set off together to sell at the market.

After the two baskets of cakes were all sold out, Li Hehua thought about going to see the little guy later, so he turned around and walked towards the place where the meat was sold.

There were no conditions before, and all cooked for the little guy were pastries. Although these things are delicious, they are not nutritious and have no effect on the body. She has never cooked any really nutritious dishes for the little guy. Now she has the money, There is also a place to live. After selling the cakes, you can go home and cook something delicious for the little guy, and then bring it to Shangshui Village for him to eat.

After thinking about it, Li Hehua decided to make a nutritious soup for the little guy. After thinking about it, he decided to make a yam and wolfberry pork ribs soup. Yam and wolfberry pork ribs soup has the functions of clearing heat, solidifying the stomach and strengthening the spleen and stomach. It is especially suitable for the elderly and children. The stomach and intestines of the little ones are very poor, so it is very suitable to drink this.

Li Hehua bought a pound of spareribs at Pork Xiezi, and went to the market to buy some yam and wolfberry. Then he carried his things to the shop where he made clothes yesterday, and took back the little guy's suit.

The tables, chairs, and benches that asked Qian Carpenter to make last time should also be ready, and can go and get them today. Li Hehua plans to go to Shangshui Village to see the little guy later, and then go directly to Lianhua Village to find Qian Carpenter to get things, but this needs to be taken care of. Goods.

Li Hehua vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen in the town that there were people who specially drove cars to pull goods for people. It seemed that there were people at the intersection on the west side of the town. , don't know if it is pulling people or pulling goods. Li Hehua was about to ask one by one when he saw a very special donkey cart. A sign was hung outside the carriage of the donkey cart, which said 'Pull people and goods'.

This car was very different from the donkey carts she had seen in the town. Other donkey carts were all a donkey pulling a bare cart, but this one had a carriage, like a carriage carriage. Very clean and comfortable, people are willing to choose to take this car.

Li Hehua immediately decided to look for the car, so he went to talk to the owner.

The owner of the car was a man in his twenties. He looked ordinary, but his eyes were firm.

Li Hehua asked aloud: "Can you pull goods in this car?"

The owner nodded, "Okay, I don't know when you want to pull the goods? My car will take the villagers back to the village later, and then I can pull the goods for you. Do you think the time will be up?"

Li Hehua didn't need to use the car to pull the tables and chairs until the afternoon, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I only need to use the car in the afternoon. I have to go to Lianhua Village to pull some tables and chairs. Do you have any problems here?"

The owner said: "It's no problem to go to the lotus pond, but when is it exactly? Where to go to pull it?"

Li Hehua went to pick up the table and chairs like this at about two o'clock in the afternoon, but the ancients did not say what time, they all said the time, so she converted the time in her heart, and then answered him: "The person who arrived at Lianhua Village like this in the middle of the afternoon. The money carpenter's house to pull it." Then he began to ask the price: "I have four tables and sixteen chairs to pull here. I don't know how much you will charge for a trip?"

The owner pondered for a moment, then answered succinctly: "For a trip of 60 cents, pay a deposit of 10 cents first, and get out of the car if you can."

Li Hehua felt that the price was not too expensive, so he quickly decided: "That's fine, then I'll trouble you to make a trip." Then he took out ten cents of money and gave it to him.

At this moment, a young woman's voice came to him, "Dashan, is this someone trying to pull goods?"

Hearing this, the car owner looked up at the woman who was approaching, and her calm eyes instantly softened, "Well, this lady asked me to go to Lotus Village to pick up the goods, it has been agreed."

The woman nodded and smiled at Li Hehua.

Li Hehua only felt that the woman in front of him had an indescribable elegance, which made people feel very good, so he couldn't help but smile at her, and then he left.

Li Hehua went to Cao Simei with what he bought, and her pastries had just sold out.

"Sister, do you want to go home with me for a while and then go home?"

Cao Simei hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, I have to go home quickly, the children and your brother-in-law are waiting for me to eat."

Li Hehua thought about it too, and he didn't force it. He took the basket in Cao Simei's hand and said goodbye to her.

When he got home, Li Hehua took the ingredients he bought into the kitchen, first peeled the yam he bought, and soaked it in water for later use. Then ignite the stove, pour water into the pot, take advantage of the time to boil the hot water, chop the purchased ribs into pieces, wait for the water to boil, pour it into boiling water and blanch, and then use the water to rub the ribs on the ribs. Washed with blood.

After processing, put the yam and spareribs together in the pot and boil over high heat, then cook over low heat for half an hour, add the washed wolfberry, and cook for another half an hour.

After the yam pork ribs soup was cooked, Li Hehua did not dare to eat meat for fear of gaining weight. He only took the soup for one night as lunch at noon. Then find a thick piece of clothing and wrap the jar tightly in the basket, so that the soup doesn't get cold so easily, and the temperature is just right when it arrives at Sheung Shui Village.

In a hurry, Li Hehua hurried out to Shangshui Village with soup, cakes and clothes for the little guy.
