Chapter 13 Have fun
Next to Yanliu Lane is a secluded alley, which is inhabited by all kinds of literati who are lonely. Some sojourn with lovers; Some are obsessed with soft-scented nephrite; Some are really poor and helpless, rent a small house, and put out some calligraphy and paintings to sell on weekdays to get by. In order to take a shortcut, Qingqing led them over. On the way, I saw a few paintings, but there were a few good paintings, and the poems with the title also had a meaning, so Aoki bought two.
Qingqing and the four of them walked through several streets and alleys, all the way with pleasant scenery, but they didn't feel dull. In a short time, Xiling Street arrived. At this moment, the sun was high, and the peasant women of the village collected the courtyard, gathered all the things and took them to the door to sell. Or a big fish that was caught yesterday; or the silk pattern that the daughter-in-law embroidered the day before yesterday; Or there are more things at home, and those that are not used are all put out, and if they are interested, they can also be exchanged for things, and copper coins can also be paid. This time the Hutong Bazaar is like a hundred schools of thought, full of a variety of alleys, only a thin and long narrow road remains, a total of two people walking side by side. Looking at the past from afar, it looks like a fairy road full of colorful flowers. The people in the alley set up stalls, and they didn't stay there, they always sat down when they had nothing to do, and they were busy going when they had something, and they didn't care about the stall. It is also common for people in the neighborhood to go out to run errands together, leaving things in front of the door, so it is common for people to come and see good things and want to buy, but they can't find the seller. But those who know this well understand that the owner is not there, there is something on the stall, and if you like it, you will pay for it yourself, and there is no need to negotiate the price; Or you can take out the same equivalent item and exchange it yourself. Therefore, not only Hutong Road, but also the entire Xiling Street from beginning to end rarely has a case of theft, even if there is, people will not report to the official, only believe that it must be an outsider, and if it is stolen, it will run away, and it cannot be recovered.
Qingqing led everyone and walked in the middle, each searching for something they liked. The two masters were in front, and the girl was next. What kind of day is today, there is no one on the ten-mile vendors. Qingqing looked at them along the road in turn, occasionally picking up a gadget and looking at it for a while, and then putting it back. The girl saw something interesting, and you laughed and played with me. Aoki followed Qingqing and chose together. In the meantime, a jade tassel with intricate patterns is very delicate, and the filaments are carefully woven and then redundantly joined together to form a cluster, which is only a tenth, and the fineness here is unmatched in the shops in the bustling street market. Qing Qing saw that she liked it, so she took a string of copper coins and put it back; There was also a silk handkerchief embroidered with white peonies, which was also extremely beautiful, so it was exchanged for copper coins; Then, although there were exquisite and gratifying things, after all, they were not what she needed, and they were exchanged for money, but they were kept and given away. Although Aoki is the same as not taken, he also likes it here, stop and go, and follow everyone to see, it's not bad, but he will help the girl to choose it.
Out of Hutong Road, to Nantou Street, find that place. So he paid the money and got on the fishing boat, except for the four people, and one fisherwoman was ferrying at the bow of the boat. The scenery on all sides is as Qingqing said, it is really beautiful. The four of them talked and laughed, just like friends, but even so, the etiquette between each other would not be exceeded. At this time, between Qingqing and Aoki, it is best to respect each other as guests. Such a beautiful woman, smiling like a flower, treating her with courtesy, if this kind of moment can be for a long time. Aoki looks at the beautiful scenery according to this, and feels that the beautiful scenery he has seen in this life is not as good as this, and the old saying is nothing more than the sinking fish and geese, and the shy flowers of the closed moon.
For a while, Qingqing came out of the cabin and asked the fisherwoman a few words, the fisherwoman nodded, put down the oars in her hand, and let the boat drift with the tide. Qingqing returned to the cabin early and said: The lake is the deepest, and the fish is the fattest, so you can only catch a good fish if you stop here. Fortunately, I brought two jugs of wine and some small snacks before I came, so I put on the pads first, and waited for the fish to be hooked before eating. Hearing this, when they saw that the fisherman was casting their nets, they all waited patiently, ate snacks, and drank wine, only to hook the worms to wriggle. Qingqing and Aoki are okay, but the girl has never seen or eaten, and after hearing it, she opened her eyes wide and stared at the fisherwoman's movements, for fear of missing a trace of wind and grass, which is really interesting.
Not long after, the fishing net hooked, the fisherman clever, the arm of a force, the fishing net to the whole pull up, through the fishing net can see the lively big fish jumping at the bottom, hurriedly look, there are more than a dozen in it, there are many shrimp and crabs mixed in the meantime. The fisherwoman pulled the net open and poured the fish and shrimp into a wooden bucket filled with water. A few of them were chosen for cooking, and the rest was given to the fisherwoman as a reward so that she could cook as required. The fisherman is skillful, and after a while, the fragrant and attractive fish soup is served. Immediately afterwards, there are red-hot shrimp and crabs; Whole braised large fish; Wine-grilled fish fillet; Add thick fish head meat. Everything is mouth-watering.
Qingqing saw the girl's greedy look, so she smiled and said: It's all together, let's eat!
Even so, the two still didn't dare to do it, the master was here, how could they eat first. Wait for Qingqing and Aoki to move the chopsticks before eating together. After the meal was over, the time limit for the cruise ship was up, and the fisherwoman took the ferry and rowed back. At this point, lunch has passed, and all the places worth going to are gone. Qingqing planned to hire a sedan chair to go back to the teahouse at the entrance of Dongjie, and Aoki agreed. The four of them, who were full of wine and food, leisurely returned to the teahouse. Besides, that sleek little guy got Mrs. Ren's life, and he wanted to take good care of the two of them, who would have thought that he would be overwhelmed by a urine urgency. When I came back and didn't see the two masters, the sedan chair man told the two of them to take the girl to play elsewhere, so they searched everywhere, and there was no one in a big circle, so they went back to the teahouse, and they didn't eat lunch, and they were anxious to hope that the master would pity him and go back to the teahouse safely.
The two sedan chairs stopped at the entrance of the teahouse, and Qingqing and Aoki got off the sedan chair. The little guy was standing aside, waiting anxiously, when he saw that the two sedan chairs had stopped, and the master had come down, so he breathed a sigh of relief. The little guy hurriedly ran forward, and when he came to the front, he said with a sad face: "Two ancestors! You can have a good time, but only the little one suffers! Why doesn't the master wait for the little one to go together? As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead and eyes. Qingqing thought that it would not be easy for him, so she took out something she bought from the market and gave it to him, which was regarded as compensation. After receiving the thanks, the little one asked with a smile: Where did the two masters go to play? After shopping for some such good things, the little ones can go around by themselves next time.
Qingqing said: You don't even know the alley of Xiling Street?
The little girl woke up like a dream, and said: It is the poor and sour land! How did the master go there, if the lady knew, she would definitely be angry with the little one, and I hope that the master will speak for the little one when the time comes.
Qingqing smiled and said: So what? I won't let you suffer at that time, I just said that I went on my own and didn't do anything to you.
The little guy smiled and said: When the master says this, the little one is relieved. At this time, there is still a while before dinner, I wonder where the two masters want to go to play?
Qingqing said: It was my mother who ordered you to take us to play, where you say you are going.
The little guy said: I want to come to the master to eat, and then go to the restaurant and teahouse is really boring. East Street belongs to the most prosperous street in the city, so it is better to start here, take a look at all kinds of shops along the road, choose some you like, and take it back to your wife to see.
Qingqing said: Then let's go!
