Then they went to the butcher's shop. After coming out of the butcher's shop, they went to the grain and oil shop and bought some daily necessities such as rice, flour and cooking oil.
Then they went to a grocery store and bought some daily necessities and condiments, such as salt, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. They also bought all the rock sugar and white sugar in the store.
Because they purchased so many goods, they had to ask the store to deliver the goods to their door.
Afterwards, Master Ye rode his horse in front to lead the way, Qingfeng drove the carriage behind, and the group headed towards the village in the beautiful sunset.
Qingfeng brought the hired servants back to the compound first. The masters had not returned from the mountain yet, and there were only a few cooks in the compound preparing dinner. With so many people coming in at once, the cooks didn't know how to arrange them, so they could only run to find Chen Zhuangtou.
When Chen Zhuangtou came back from outside, he was also confused when he saw the extra twenty or so people.
When the princess mentioned buying people, he thought she only wanted to buy two or three cooks, after all, the princess didn't often come to live in the farm. But what about the more than twenty people now?
He thought about it and realized that there were not so many rooms in the compound, and there were no beds, quilts, etc. How should he arrange it?
Chen Zhuangtou was in a dilemma. Qingzhu reminded him, "Don't worry, Chen Zhuangtou. The princess will make arrangements for buying people. Let them help with cooking first."
With so many additional mouths to feed, more food still needed to be added. Aunt Liu took them to put their luggage in a room and then led some people to the kitchen.
Everyone was worried, seeing that there wasn't even a room for them to stay in. They wondered if the house would be sold again soon, so they were all looking for jobs to do, hoping that they wouldn't be the ones to be sent away.
Not long after, a farmer came to the courtyard with three horse-drawn carriages. He said he was delivering goods and asked Chen Zhuangtou to receive them.
Chen Zhuangtou was in a state of confusion the whole time. After asking clearly, Chen Zhuangtou knew that it was the princess who bought it, so he quickly asked people to unload the goods into the yard.
The car was covered with oilcloth, and everyone was shocked to see so much cloth, quilts and cotton.
The princess bought so many things at once, probably for these people. It turned out that the princess had thought of everything. Chen Zhuangtou breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after the cloth shop's carriage left, two more delivery carriages arrived, this time delivering grain, oil, rice, flour, and meat. This time, Chen Zhuangtou was not surprised and calmly received and counted the goods.
When Zheng Sisi and her companions came back, the carriage from the grain and oil shop had just left. When she entered the gate, she was surprised to see the things piled up in the yard.
I didn't expect that I bought so many without paying attention. I didn't notice it when I bought it, but now there are quite a lot of them piled together.
Zheng Sisi laughed and said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect to buy so much without noticing. Come on, everyone, stop standing there and watch, move the grain and oil to the kitchen. If the kitchen can't hold it, put it in the warehouse."
Chen Zhuangtou was asked to get on the carriage and pull all the quilts and cloths to the courtyard of Yao Village. Zheng Sisi temporarily left Huaer and her mother in the courtyard.
The Yaocun compound temporarily selected Grandma Huaer and a literate woman to be managers to take charge of everyone's accommodation issues.
She told everyone how to make quilt covers and pillows, and asked them to clean the yard first, and then come back to make quilt covers after eating, so that they would have a simple place to sleep at night.
At this point everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they could finally settle down, they had such a good master who bought new bedding and clothes for everyone as soon as they arrived, and if they worked hard in the future, they would not be sold here and there and wander around anymore.
Hua'er's mother's surname is Cai, so Mrs. Cai took Hua'er and settled her in the room where the luggage had been placed. When Zheng Sisi gave the flower cloth and Juanhua to Mrs. Cai, the mother and daughter kept kowtowed to Zheng Sisi on the ground.
With tears in her eyes, she expressed her gratitude and was glad that she had found a good owner.
When it was getting dark, when Duke Zheng Laoguo's group returned, the things piled in the yard had not yet been moved.
Madam Zheng asked, "Sisi, why did you buy so much? We bought too much meat and can't finish it. It will go bad easily in the hot weather."
Zheng Sisi smiled and said, “Grandma, it’s not much. I bought a lot of food today. I’m afraid it won’t be enough.”
After hearing her words, everyone looked around, but didn't see any extra people. Instead, they saw a small figure carrying small items to the kitchen.
Zheng Zhimin pointed at someone and asked, "Sister Sisi, you said the person who bought it was her. She's just a child. Can she do anything?"
Zheng Sisi nodded: "Yes, her name is Hua'er. In fact, I bought more than 20 people and asked Chen Zhuangtou to send them to Yaocun's house for resettlement. Come over for dinner later, and I will introduce them to you."
