Chapter VI
When Fang Yanqing went out, he saw Ding Sanniang pushing the book on the counter with great interest, and the guy next to him was already dumbfounded, Fang Yanqing pushed open the small door of the counter and asked, "Sanniang, who are you?"
"There are a full set of "Dream of Red Mansions", "The Legend of the West Chamber", "The Edge of the Lamp and the Moon", and "Tasting Flowers", which are rare, but I came across them today, so I bought them. ”
The guy has been here for a long time, and he hasn't seen anyone buy so many scripts at once, so he hurriedly called the boss out.
"What girl buys books?" Zhou Dong walked out with the curtain open, and saw Fang Yanqing standing aside, flipping through a stack of books piled up on the counter, "Miss Fang?"
Fang Yanqing heard Zhou Dong's voice and hurriedly waved his hand, "This is not mine, it is Sanniang's." ”
"Sanniang is?"
Ding Sanniang took two more books to the counter, which said "Vinegar Gourd" and "Mirage Chronicles", both of which were small talk books of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Dong looked at Ding Sanniang and piled up the two books he had just taken, and asked, "This girl, do you want more than a dozen books?"
"I've picked them all, so naturally I want them all, can I send them to my house?"
"Naturally, you can. ”
Ding Sanniang thought for a while and added, "Can I send it when it's getting dark? I should be in the house at that time." ”
Zhou Dong nodded, "Yes." ”
"So, count the money. ”
When Zhou Dong heard Ding Sanniang's words, he couldn't help but smile on his face, "These books are all for one dollar," there are a total of seventeen books, Zhou Dong pulled out the book wrapper in the cabinet while counting, and said, "It's a total of one or two or seven dollars." ”
Ding Sanniang listened to the price and nodded, "The price of this book is real, it's not expensive," she said, took out the silver from the money bag and put it on the counter, "Two taels of silver, and the rest of the right to do errands." ”
"Thank you, girl, if you have any instructions after that, just say it. Zhou Dong took the abacus and said with a smile.
"There are very few people willing to buy books right now. ”
A male voice came from behind him, and the man who was in the room just now walked out, leaned against the door frame, looked at the book in front of Zhou Dong, lifted his eyelids, and said, "In this way, it seems to be a lot." ”
"Rare business, you just didn't see when I couldn't live because I didn't have a business. Zhou Dong replied, turned around and raised a smile again, and asked Ding Sanniang, "Does the girl want to pack books?"
"Wrap it, the shopkeeper will be busy, and it will be delivered in the twilight. Ding Sanniang bent the corner of her eyes and looked at Fang Yanqing, "Girl, the things are bought, let's go." ”
Fang Yanqing nodded, nodded goodbye to Zhou Dong, and glanced at Wei Chao who was standing next to him, and the other party didn't seem to look at him at all.
When she went out, the corners of Ding Sanniang's mouth were still raised, and the fan fanned herself, "I didn't expect anyone to call me a girl, I'm at this age, but I'm sweet-mouthed." ”
"How old is Sanniang?" Fang Yanqing asked with his head tilted.
Ding Sanniang said in a slow voice, "Ask the woman's age, what's wrong with the girl, aren't you afraid that I will be angry?"
"I'm nineteen years old, so I'm in exchange. ”
"Nineteen," Ding Sanniang blinked her eyes when she heard the age of the dialect, as if she was recalling something, and slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, "Nineteen years old, it was fifteen years ago for me, and the days passed so fast." ”
Fang Yanqing listened to Ding Sanniang's words, and calculated his age in his heart, "Thirty-four, it's not too big, it's a good time." ”
When Ding Sanniang heard Fang Yanqing's words, she first shook her head for a moment, and then smiled again, "My good girl, fortunately I don't care about you, if you say this in front of other mothers-in-law, you will definitely have to set rules for you." ”
"So I'm just telling you," Fang Yanqing looked at Ding Sanniang and smiled, and said softly, "I always feel that you are sincere to me." ”
Ding Sanniang stopped laughing and touched Fang Yanqing's head, "Good girl, you know it in your heart, it's fine," After speaking, she looked at the shop next to her, "The pastries in this shop are good, you can buy them back to make snacks." ”
Fang Yanqing also looked at the shop next to him and followed Ding Sanniang in, "Sifangzhai is a time-honored brand here, and the pastries have always been extremely exquisite. ”
Fang Yanqing nodded, "I know, my aunt likes to buy and eat from time to time." ”
My aunt often likes to put a plate of pastries in the house, which is filled with Si Fangzhai's osmanthus cake, every time my aunt says that she is tired, she takes a sip of tea and then takes a bite of pastry.
"Sanniang is here, or is it the third piece?" The shopkeeper saw Ding Sanniang enter the house and greeted him with a smile.
It seems that it should be the old customer of this house, there are all kinds of pastries on the table, there are only two, and the rest should be in the back kitchen.
"I didn't buy it today, I came here with Miss Yan. Ding Sanniang said, turning sideways so that the shopkeeper could see the dialect.
The shopkeeper of the Qing Dynasty nodded and said hello, "The shopkeeper is good." ”
"This is ......" The shopkeeper saw Fang Yanqing, and still looked at Ding Sanniang in confusion.
"The Fang family's cousin niece. ”
"Oh oh oh," Ding Sanniang reminded him, and the shopkeeper finally remembered it, and nodded again and again, "Miss Yan has any favorite pastries, and you can try them outside." ”
Fang Yanqing nodded, walked to the counter with a smile, looked at the pastries on the table, the pastries were exquisite, some were rabbit-shaped, some were flower-shaped, the little sister loved sweet, and the mother liked the lighter taste, Fang Yanqing looked at the flower-shaped ones and asked Ding Sanniang, "How does this taste?"
"The taste is a little bland, but there is a floral fragrance between the mouths, which is made by crushing lilies. ”
Fang Yanqing nodded, then pointed to the rabbit-like one and asked, "This is sweet." ”
"Glutinous and sweet. ”
"So, this flower-shaped, this rabbit each has a copy, and an osmanthus cake. Fang Yanqing turned his head and said to the shopkeeper.
"Howler. The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I'll go to the back kitchen and ask them to wrap up, will the girl pick it up herself or will we send it to the house?"
Fang Yanqing thought for a moment and said, "The osmanthus cake is sent to the house, and the girl is asked to bring it to my aunt, and I will carry the rest myself." ”
"Okay, girl, wait a minute. ”
Fang Yanqing nodded, Sifangzhai's pastries are all freshly made, so the time will be slower, but the taste is also the best.
After listening to Fang Yanqing, Ding Sanniang picked out a wine glutinous dumpling in the pastry, cut off the point, took a sip, and then withdrew her hand.
Fortunately, I carried a basket, two pastries are two small mention, although not much, but still occupy space, Fang Yan paid three dollars of silver, put the pastries in his small basket, and said with a smile, "This is really like a girl who came out to buy." ”
"Oh," just a few steps out of Sifangzhai, Ding Sanniang suddenly clapped her hands and said in surprise, "My fan has fallen in the store." ”
Fang Yanqing recalled for a moment and said, "Xu forgot to take it when I tried it just now." ”
"Well, I should have forgotten about it at that time," Ding Sanniang nodded, looked at Fang Yanqing and said, "Girl, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll go get the fan." ”
"Go ahead, I'll wait here. Fang Yanqing said.
Ding Sanniang walked towards the shop, Fang Yanqing looked at the tightly wrapped book, put it at the bottom, and pressed the wrapped pastries on it, so it seemed that there was no doubt about it.
"Girl, I'm really delaying you. Ding Sanniang came out with a fan and said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. Fang Yanqing shook his head and said, "Go buy dough molding." ”
The stall of the dough sculpture is still around the corner, and there are many characters in front of him, including Chang'e, Nezha, and Sun Wukong. There are also small masks on sale, and a child is tugging at his mother's clothes, as if begging to buy these gadgets. The mother, with a black face, was in a stalemate with the child.
"What does the girl want?"
"Monkey King. Fang Yanqing said, looking at a row of Monkey Kings with different looks, his eyes stayed on a Monkey King who stepped on the clouds under his feet, and reached out to pick it up.
The middle-aged man saw Fang Yanqing take Sun Wukong, stood up, pointed to the clay sculpture in front of him and introduced, "I have a row of one money here, and the girl looks at this one with a golden hoop stick, the older one, is also the same money." ”
Fang Yanqing took out the money from his small brocade bag, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Thank you, I want this." Then he put the two coins in a small basket on the upper right side of the stall.
The man looked at Fang Yanqing's movements, and hurriedly said, "Girl, give too much." ”
"Send him. Fang Yanqing looked at the child who was lying in the stall next to him and said, then turned around and put the clay sculpture in the basket, glanced at Ding Sanniang, Ding Sanniang saw Fang Yanqing glanced at herself, raised her leg and walked in the direction of Fang Yanqing's house.
"Thank you, sister!"
Listening to the thank you behind her, Ding Sanniang pursed her lips and laughed, Fang Yanqing glanced at Ding Sanniang next to her, and the other party smacked her lips, "The girl is really kind-hearted." ”
"You're just laughing at this?" Fang Yanqing looked at the Fang family's mansion, lowered his head, glanced at his basket, and then stepped on the steps and knocked on the door.
Then he turned his head and saw that Ding Sanniang was still standing at the bottom of the steps, not coming up, "Don't you go in?"
"Today's lesson is over. ”
Fang Yanqing listened to Ding Sanniang's words and laughed, "It's not noon yet." ”
"The girl will embroider herself after lunch, and we'll see you again tomorrow." Ding Sanniang said, bowed her head and blessed her body, and walked in the opposite direction.
"Cousin. The girl at the door called.
"Well," Fang Yanqing came back to his senses and walked into the door with his legs, and the girl closed the door behind her, and said with a smile, "Today, Mrs. received the pastries that the girl bought, and she is in a good mood, and she has been praising the girl for being sensible." ”
"It's good if my aunt likes it," Fang Yanqing said with a smile, the girl followed behind Fang Yanqing, she should be planning to send Fang Yanqing back to the yard, Fang Yanqing stopped and said to the girl, "No need to send it, I'll go to my mother's courtyard to have a look." ”
"Yes. ”
Fang Yanqing walked towards his mother's yard with a basket, if he coincidentally could have lunch in his mother's yard, he just turned a corner, and suddenly remembered that this matter could make the girl speak.
"Phew, a broken family still came to take Qiao with me, I really think of myself as the girl in this house. ”
"You said that you too, and the cousin on the wife's side will also come in a few days, and if you want to show goodwill, isn't that party better? ”
"It's me who gets dizzy. ”
Another voice, should have come after he left, the two of them spoke back and forth, it was quite interesting, Fang Yanqing leaned against the wall, quietly waited for the two girls to finish chatting, and walked out of the corner after a while.
With a slight smile on his face, he shouted, "Two, wait a minute." ”
"Miss Yan. The two girls lowered their heads, completely unaware that those words came from the mouths of such two girls.
"You have seen your aunt, please tell me, I will not go to the hall for lunch. ”
"Got it. The two girls were slightly blessed and said.
Fang Yanqing smiled, "It's hard work." ”
