Chapter 55: Seven Day Flowers
In the past, the rural transportation was inconvenient, and the towns and counties in remote areas rushed to the market once every few days, and because of the distance between villages and towns, the market time was relatively late, generally concentrated in the time period from 10 am to 2 pm.
Now the traffic is much more convenient, the concept of catching the market has long been blurred, but the concept of rural people still exists, and the flow of people in the streets of H County in each town on the day of the market is obviously more.
Yao Yao was familiar with the place, and directly parked the motorcycle in the old yard of the town government, and at the same time received information about Yang Hongtian on his mobile phone.
When he showed it to Long Peng, he lost interest after just a glance, but looked at the crowded street with interest: "What's delicious over there?"
Yang Xiayao also received the message, couldn't help jumping up and cheering a few times, jumped in front of Long Peng and said, "In order to celebrate the arrest of this villain, I invite you to eat all the snacks in Beihe Town." ”
Long Peng looked at her suspiciously: "Do you want me to pay?"
"Hahaha...... the two girls laughed so much that they couldn't straighten their waists, and their crisp and coquettish smiles filled the yard.
Fortunately, it was Sunday, and few people except the doorman went to work, and it didn't affect anyone else.
"Big man, don't worry about these details. Yang Xiayao pushed his back and walked towards the gate: "You have been in the village for a month, and if you don't come out to dry, you will get moldy." ”
Without contrast, there is no beauty or ugliness.
Walking to the street and blending into the crowd, Long Peng found that Yao Yao and Yang Xiayao were really top beauties here, not only tall and slender, but also with a beautiful face, and their temperament stood out from the crowd, attracting the attention of tall, short, fat and thin old men.
Long Peng pouted secretly, no wonder the two girls wanted to find a flower messenger, it is estimated that they can't stand it every time they do this, and they may even be eaten tofu in a crowded place.
What kind of red bean cake mung bean cake big cool skin, the two girls didn't break their promise, took him all the way to eat, and didn't ask him to pay.
Long Peng was happy, squeezing around with more and more people, and saw that there were forty or fifty-year-old men deliberately squeezing the two women, of course, he did not hesitate to break away with one arm, faithfully playing the role of protecting flowers.
When the men saw that he was strong, they did not dare to make a crooked move, although they saw that he was not a local.
After walking a few hundred meters, Long Peng understood that 90% of the people who came to the market were wandering around, and they were all old men from nearby villages, all of them were old, and they were idle in the village, so they took advantage of the market day to find some young girls to squeeze, and when they arrived, they spent a few yuan to go to the video hall for two hours.
As for what is in the video hall of this kind of township, and what is in it, he is too lazy to explore.
The two girls were also wandering around, and when they saw which clothing and ornament store had something eye-catching, they went in and swayed, and went in and out of several stores, but they didn't buy anything.
However, this is also an opportunity to observe the local cultural ecology, and Long Peng Peng listened to passers-by talking and bargaining and gossiping, but he didn't feel bored.
As we walked, we reached the end of the street, and our vision suddenly widened.
Under the dozen steps, there is the North River, which is more than 30 meters above the river, and on the opposite side of the river is a dense bamboo forest with no end in sight on both sides.
"This is the marina. ”
Yang Xiayao walked happily and seemed to be in a good mood, pointing to more than a dozen steps and said: "The villages upstream cut bamboo and wood, all of which came down from the river, and many charcoal sellers also took the waterway. ”
Long Peng looked around and saw more than a dozen bamboo and wooden rows parked on the dock, which looked freshly felled.
On the left is a parking lot, which is already full of agricultural vehicles, and those who have negotiated a good price are using a simple crane to drag bamboo and wood up from the river to load the trucks.
The shore on the right is also fairly flat, and several huge old longan trees shade the entire ground.
Underneath the shade of the trees is a spontaneously formed seedling herb market, where fruit seedlings and even fish seedlings have a place here, and all kinds of mud-stained motorcycles are parked on the edge.
The seedling seller and the one who buys the seedlings are either smoking cigarettes and bargaining or shouting: "My radish seeds, the radishes planted grow longer than the big arm, thicker than the basket (basket), plant a ridge, hoe until you sweat all over the body......
Long Peng kept blinking when he listened, and he always felt that the stall owner was driving.
Ahem......
Look farther away, there is a big tent at the edge of the clearing, there is a table at the door of the tent, a loudspeaker is placed on the table, and the "wonders of the world, rare in the world, Bermuda triangle characteristics, beautiful snakes are hugged, mermaids kiss ...... with you".
The sound was so loud that it could be heard clearly even from a distance of forty or fifty meters.
Yes, another spectacle nomadic procession.
"Let's go. Yao Yao pointed to the seedling market: "This is a place for people in Beihe Town to enjoy the coolness, and it is also a designated place for all kinds of strange entertainment, and square dancing is also here at night." ”
Now that the sun is already very big, after walking so far, Long Peng Peng can't stand it a little, he nodded when he heard this, took three bottles of water from the mobile vendor's refrigerator next to him, and walked to the shade of the tree under the embrace of the two women.
The three of them, one handsome and two pretty, attracted the attention of most people, a pair of cloudy eyes constantly roamed the two women, some of them were unbearable, and they even unconsciously opened their mouths, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and they didn't know that saliva was flowing out.
The three of them had long been accustomed to this situation, and they didn't bother to have a regular meeting, so they walked straight to the big longan tree in the middle.
There are four big trees here, and the roots of the trees are covered with cement, which is used to give people rest.
The two women found a place to sit down, and took out a small fan from their bags to drink water.
Long Peng did not sit, full of curiosity in front of the seedling stalls, so that the stall owners thought that the business came to the door, and greeted him enthusiastically, what "one year to hang fruit, two years to get rich, three years to buy a luxury house", "ten yuan to make a fortune, a million profits", "smoke less than half a pack of cigarettes, half a moon full of vegetables" one by one said loudly, as if missing them missed the opportunity to soar.
Long Peng was smiling, and from time to time he had a few words with these uncles and aunts, asking some questions about production and income.
Unfortunately, the answer is basically to put satellites.
Walking to the herb stall area, Long Peng looked more closely, squatting down from time to time to pick up some herbs to examine, and even put them in front of his nose to sniff, or pinch off a little skin or leaf and put it in his mouth to taste.
Seeing that Long Peng was so patient and lingering in front of the herb stall, Yao Yao and Yang Xiayao were curious, and walked to him to look left and right, but they couldn't see anything.
The herbs here are all very common ones, such as golden sand vines, five-fingered orange butterflies, which are either used to boil herbal tea or bathe newborns to remove yellowing, and some are earthwork medicines.
In short, it's not something unusual.
"Mr. Long, what are you doing?" Seeing Long Peng pluck a petal of the three-leaf ghost needle grass and put it in his mouth, Yang Xiayao finally couldn't help but ask.
Long Peng spit out flower petals, and with an expression of eating stool: "Just take a look." ”
Seeing that he kept spitting and rinsing his mouth, the two girls couldn't laugh: "You deserve it, aren't the raw herbs bitter and sour." ”
When he walked to a herb stall on the edge, he squatted down and picked up a plant that was five or six inches tall and had two small red flowers growing on the top of his head, and looked at it again and again, looked at the female stall owner in her fifties and asked, "What is this called?"
"We call it the seven-day flower in our local language. The stall owner replied in Mandarin: "This is for women who give birth to children to make soup to replenish blood and qi." ”
Long Peng nodded, looked at the seven-day flower, picked a petal and skin and put it in his mouth, and after chewing it a few times, his eyes lit up: "Is this wild or planted?"
"Wild, of course. The female stall owner's voice was raised a little: "All the raw herbs I have here are found in the mountains, and these seven-day flowers were found in the morning, which is not easy." ”
Long Peng looked at Yang Xiayao: "Does Yang Tiancun have this?"
Yang Xiayao nodded: "Yes, but it's not common." There is not much demand for raw herbs, so whoever wants them will go up the mountain to find them by themselves. ”
Long Peng's eyes brightened even more, and he asked the female stall owner, "Which village are you from?"
"Muhe Village. The female stall owner was a little impatient: "Do you want to buy it? ”
"Buy. Long Peng weighed the more than 20 seven-day flowers in his hand, and his face was full of smiles: "How much?"
