Chapter Twenty-Six: Walking the Streets with Pride (6)
After another stick of incense. She and Liang Sheng stood side by side www.biquge.info followed by pears and plums, and the four of them stepped out of the gate of the general's mansion.
She only walked through the gate of the General's Mansion for two or three minutes when she welcomed the general's return. At that time, the army was vast and endless. Even if there are ordinary people watching, they are all consciously standing on both sides of the street. When they arrived at the main gate of the General's Mansion, there was no one around, and they all consciously avoided it. Not only is the military discipline strict, no one makes a sound, only the neat horseshoe tapping, even the boss's surname is rarely noisy, and the scene is solemn. She was busy observing and dealing with the general she met for the first time, even if it was difficult to penetrate the neat army and look at the street scene, she also had no leisure to look.
At this time, stepping out of the gate of the General's Mansion again, the scene in front of him was completely new.
At the moment, it is only more than half of the hour, that is, it is less than the middle of the hour. Converted to the modern 24-hour system, that is, more than eight o'clock and less than nine o'clock. But the ancients were diligent and did not say that they slept lazily. According to her observation of getting up early in the past two days, as soon as the hour arrived, the rooster crowed gradually, and the subordinates of the morning worker had already smelled the rooster dancing. Even the high-ranking servants and servants of the cabinet should get up and sprinkle and sweep at half of the hour. And the aunt, the young lady, and the young master will also get up before the hour, that is, before 7 o'clock, to finish washing. As soon as 7 a.m. arrives, the kitchen will start serving breakfast to each room. After finishing the meal in half an hour, everyone officially started their busy or leisurely day.
The market vendors get up early and work earlier than the general's mansion. She thought that the street would not start until nine or ten o'clock, but in fact the vendors along the street had already set up their stalls and kept shouting. Even the major merchants on the street have long been in constant contact with customers, and there have already been transactions.
The capital of Chongyang is prosperous, and the main gate of the General's Mansion is located on this bustling central street. She only glanced at it, and there were rows of tall and low houses, and the streets were bustling with pedestrians, men and women, old and young, dressed in different ways, and it seemed that there were many business travelers from other countries. It can be seen that Chongyang Country is above etiquette, and the folk customs are also open. Coming and going are guests, all laughing and laughing, and there is no prison.
She was very curious, and suddenly smelled a mouth-watering aroma in her nose, so she lifted the hem of her skirt and ran to follow the aroma first. Naturally, Pears and Plums immediately trotted to follow. And Liang Sheng walked with a smile, not afraid that they would run away.
Before she ran to a stall, she suddenly regretted it.
In fact, this stall is not unusual, just an ordinary breakfast stall. Set up a stall on the street, a small wooden and bamboo cabinet, there is a bamboo basket on the counter, which has been piled up dozens of hundreds of copper coins, a long case board, flour noodles on it, a large cauldron, the hot steaming on it, next to the pot is a small desk, four or five empty bowls are placed on it, all supported by a simple and tamping wooden frame.
Behind the board and cauldron was a stout man in his thirties, but his hands were very dexterous. I saw that he picked up a piece of dough that he had rolled out earlier with his right hand, went to a large basin next to him and shook it, and then spread out his hand to become a full chaos, and then dropped the pot. That's what happens in a second. The right hand went back and forth more than a dozen times, and while the pot was tumbling for a while, the free right hand picked up the rolling pin with one hand and rolled out more than a dozen dough. At this time, the pot rolled and gradually disappeared, and the left hand picked up a big colander, and then immediately changed hands into a big spoon, and then fished again, and then left his free hand, and I didn't know where to pinch up a little emerald green and sprinkle it into the bowl, and out of the pot was a bowl full of fragrant and overflowing clear soup dotted with a little coriander.
During this time, his right hand was turned over without stopping. This bowl of chaos is hot, and the next pot of chaos has been dropped again. In three or five minutes, three more bowls of chaos were already out of the pot.
At this time, the man shouted. A woman in her thirties, dressed in cloth but with a beautiful face, came over with one hand and put the bowls of chaos on the tray with the other. Then the woman carried the tray and wandered among the dozen or so square tables that were greasy and neat. Not to mention, these dozen or so square tables can seat four people, and they are actually full. Diners also have fine clothes, but most of them are coarse cloth clothes, some of them have hoes on their sides, and their backs are sweaty, as if they are farmers who have risen earlier, and they have already finished plowing, so they come here to eat their first meal. Whether it is a Chinese diner or a cloth diner, there is no distinction between you and me, and they sit at the table. The woman also remembered who came first and came last, and after walking around, the three bowls of chaos had been divided among the three people who came first at the three tables.
"What, want to eat?" Liang Sheng didn't slow down a few steps, and came to the side of the house of the three girls with shiny eyes and drooling, and asked with a smile.
Although the chaos is a clear soup, it smells so good!
She really wanted to eat it, but she regretted it, and she didn't eat breakfast and came out directly. Now I have just drunk three bowls of green porridge with side dishes, where can I eat it......
"Gollum!" "Gollum!"
"Poof!" Liang Sheng clearly heard their belly roaring one after another, and the smile on his face became stronger, "If you want to eat, wait, wait until a table is vacated." The ingredients used in his chaotic family are all affordable and good, and the soup base is light and easy to digest, so it doesn't hold up. We were able to snack for half a bowl each. ”
Hearing Liang Sheng say this, the three of them were not ashamed to be shocked by the chaotic aroma as soon as they were full, and they only nodded vigorously. If she said that Pear and Plum still had some embarrassment in her eyes, then she stared at a table of people who were about to finish eating, thinking that as soon as they left, they rushed over to occupy that table, and she really had no shame at all.
In a short time, the table of four people and three people was finished. The three of them got up, and they didn't need to beckon the woman to come and collect the thread, but they only consciously walked to the bamboo basket in turn, and each threw two or three copper coins into it before leaving. Later, the woman came with a rag in her hand and came to collect the dishes and wipe the table.
Just as the woman was putting away the bowl, she had already rushed to the table, sat in the middle with one butt, and shouted: "Brother Liang, pear, plum, come here!"
The woman was stunned, there were diners who had come earlier waiting to take their seats, and she didn't want to be arrogantly taken by her, a fat lady in gorgeous clothes. However, as soon as the woman turned around and saw Liang Sheng, her face was originally a little unhappy, and her face suddenly turned into a smile, and she said happily: "Mr. Liang, you are here!"
The woman's greeting was not small, and the man who was busy behind the desk heard it, and immediately left the work at hand, took a few big strides, and wiped his hands with the apron on his waist while coming forward, and said happily: "Mr. Liang, you are here." ”
Only then did she realize that there was a small bamboo basket tied to the man's waist, and the chopped coriander was contained here. The cauldron had blocked her view earlier, so she couldn't see it. In addition, seeing that the woman and the man were both close to Liang Sheng, she looked back at Liang Sheng curiously.
