Chapter 196: Bai Yao's Rigid Personality
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Changshan came with 20 strong laborers from the village, all of whom were very smart.
I have also done a lot of work for others. Some people naturally knew how to build a wall and quickly got the hang of it. The wall was built at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Shen Li was also fiddling with the things in her space, trying to see if there was anything suitable to take out. But after looking around, she found that apart from some flowers and trees, nothing else would work.
Forget it, let’s buy it quickly.
Shen Li drove the carriage to the county town again, but this time she brought Bai Yao along as well. The two of them went straight to the place in the county town where flower pots were sold.
The house is so big, it can't be empty, so it needs a lot of decorations to fill it.
Other decorations were too expensive and would cost too much money. It wasn't that she couldn't bear to spend them, but firstly, she was afraid that her family would feel bad about it. Secondly, wealth should not be shown to others. So she just bought some flowers, plants, trees, etc.
There were many styles of flower pots, and Shen Li was almost dazzled. The waiter next to her was still introducing the flower pots to them, but she stopped him and asked him to look for himself.
In the end, I selected a lot of flowers, of different sizes, tall and short, wide-mouthed and narrow-mouthed, single-colored and with their own patterns. In total, I selected about 100 flower pots.
"Miss, is that a bit too much?"
"It's okay. Just put the extra ones aside. They'll be useful in the future."
"it is good."
Hearing her say this, Bai Yao was no longer worried. When it came time to pay, Shen Li spent 20 taels of silver. She didn't feel bad about it, as these flower pots would be valuable.
After waiting for a long time, a few waiters finally wrapped the flower pots and loaded them onto the carriage. The two then drove the carriage back. It was already afternoon, and there were many small stalls on the roadside, many selling food.
The carriage stopped in front of a stall selling shengjian (fried dumplings). She had never been able to resist such food.
The woman selling Shengjian was a young woman, about 20 years old. When she saw Shen Li standing in front of the stall, she smiled kindly, "Miss, would you like some?"
"Well, I want all of these."
The woman's face instantly showed a happy smile, "I'll install it for you now, wait a moment."
After waiting for a while, the woman packed up all the 100 or so pan-fried dumplings on the stall. At the end, she did not forget to remind him: "Girl, it will be cold when you take it back. Heat it up in the pot a little bit."
"Row."
After giving the silver neatly, he drove the carriage forward. After a while, he stopped the carriage and took Bai Yao to eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls. He also packed some sesame cakes from the stall next door to take back.
The glutinous rice balls are delicious, with sesame filling and osmanthus on top. They are soft, glutinous, sweet and not greasy. The ones made by machines are much more delicious.
After eating and drinking, they drove the carriage back. Bai Yao really wanted to ask, if you bought the flower pots, aren't you going to buy flowers?
But she changed her mind and realized that she had already thought of the young lady's temperament and if she didn't buy it, it meant that she had a plan in mind.
"Bai Yao, have you thought it through? What are you going to do in the future?"
Bai Yao was slightly stunned. Will she have a future in the future?
"Miss, you saved me and let me stay with you. I will always follow you from now on."
Shen Li was very troubled. The girl was not very old, only about 17 years old. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as a child in later generations. But why was her personality so rigid?
"You can follow me if you want, but first change your address to someone else. Don't call me Miss, Master or Madam all the time. It gives me a headache."
"what……"
"You are a free man now. Calling me Miss all the time, isn't that lowering your status?"
"But……"
"Don't be, you are still young, there are many things you can do in the future, don't belittle yourself because of a temporary hardship."
Bai Yao's eyes were red, she knew that what Shen Li said was true, but this hurdle was really hard to overcome.
Seeing that she remained silent, Shen Li stopped talking too. Some things she still had to figure out on her own.
Bai Yao was silent for a long time, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The young lady was younger than him, but the tone of her voice just now, hmm, seemed to be a lot older than him?
It turns out that the lady is not an ordinary person!
Shen Li: "..."
After returning home, I moved all the flower pots downstairs and put them away. It was getting late today, so I could buy other things later.
The tiles on the house have all been installed and the house has been almost cleaned. Now we just have to wait for the fence to be built. Once the furniture is brought home and placed, we can move in.
The family has not yet mentioned how to move. Normally, moving into a new house should involve treating everyone to a dinner, but they have just arrived in the village and are not familiar with everyone, so they decided to put the idea on hold until the house is ready.
The wall was being built in full swing. The next morning, Shen Li went into the mountains carrying a backpack.
After buying so many flower pots, I have to find a way to get some flowers and plants back, otherwise it would be a waste, right?
Although there are some flowers and plants in his space, they are just for show. Let's go look outside.
When Shen Li was in the mountains before, she sent all the orchids she encountered into the space. Now there are about twenty kinds of orchids in it.
I guess there won’t be many flowers and plants in the mountains. I guess next time I have to find some time to go to a flower and tree store to buy some seeds or seedlings and grow them myself in the space.
As soon as Shen Li walked into the mountains, she found a lot of cloud-shaped pines, also known as asparagus fern, beside the stream.
Shen Li used a small hoe to pull out a lot of it. Nowadays, people who don’t know it would think it’s a weed, but it can actually be used as medicine.
But for Shen Li, this is one of her favorite display tables. She even pulled a lot of the moss next to it.
Not to mention those beautiful little stones next to them, which will be very beautiful when placed together later.
After transplanting some plants placed by the stream in the space, Shen Li continued to search in the mountain. Walking all the way up, she actually saw several jasmine trees at the top of the mountain.
Shen Li couldn't quite believe it, so she quickened her pace and ran over. Only when she saw it with her own eyes did she believe it.
This time, he didn't dig manually, but directly used the sawdust power to move all four jasmine flowers into the space.
This will not damage its roots and save time and effort.
These are four jasmine plants. I don’t know how long they have been growing here. Now they have grown to about two meters tall. I will take cuttings from them when I go back in the evening, and this way I can get a lot of jasmine flowers.
Shen Li wandered around in the mountains for most of the day and later found a few camellia trees, purely wild ones. However, it was not the flowering season yet, so she had no idea what variety they were.
During this period, Shen Li did not let go of any azalea trees or magnolia trees he encountered, and moved them all back into the space.
It’s a pity that there are no roses and roses. I’ll go to the flower and tree market next time and look for them. I should be able to find them.
I didn’t want to buy it at first, but the varieties I already have are too few.
When Shen Li finally returned home, she put more than twenty orchids in her backpack and held some river shrimps in her hands, intending to have them as a snack for tonight.
