375. Chapter 375: Rock Sugar Gourd

As soon as the innkeeper said this, Leng Xiaoxi knew that the shopkeeper of Wei Da was the Wei Sheng he was looking for.

"Well, shopkeeper, do you know where Shopkeeper Wei lives?" Leng Xiaoxi asked.

"Well, the treasurer of Wei Da lives in Bingxi, and Bingxi's place is far away from here. ”

"How far. When Leng Xiaoxi heard this, his heart was cold.

"Well, if you go from here to his end, even if you ride a fast horse, it will take seven or eight days. ”

As soon as the shopkeeper's words were finished, Leng Xiaoxi's heart became even colder, and now, it has been more than three days since she came out.

If he can't find Yehuai in the next few days, then even if he wants to find Wei Sheng and Zhou Ruoyu, let alone come back and forth, even if it takes so many days to go one way, I'm afraid I won't be in a hurry.

If you are going back and forth to the barracks, then Boming ......

Leng Xiaoxi dispelled the idea of going to Wei Sheng and Zhou Ruoyu.

It seems that the decision to find a way to change his identity is the right one.

"Madam, Yehuai hasn't been found yet, right?" Seeing the loss in Leng Xiaoxi's eyes, the shopkeeper couldn't help but ask her.

"No, my brother strayed into the battlefield of the two armies and was accidentally injured by a cold arrow, if he can't find Yehuai again, I'm afraid it's ......"

"Alas, madam, the little incompetence is really beyond love, that kind of wild locust is very tightly controlled, and it is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with this kind of thing. ”

The shopkeeper said this, Leng Xiaoxi naturally knew that he was not lying, he hadn't searched all kinds of places for so many days, and he hadn't even seen the shadow of Yehuai.

"Good night to the shopkeeper! I'll have to get up early tomorrow morning. Leng Xiaoxi stood up in a depressed mood and walked back to the room.

Early the next morning, Leng Xiaoxi got up, and Zhang Hong and Yu Zhen had already gotten up.

"Sister-in-law, what are the two of us doing now?" asked Aftershock.

"You go and light the fire. Leng Xiaoxi ordered to come to the stove, carefully brushed the pot, took the large panel that had been cleaned up last night, and placed it on the table in front of the stove, and asked Zhang Hong to move out all the hawthorn strings that had been strung last night in the house.

At this time, the aftershocks had already ignited a fire, and the fire was heating the cauldron, and Leng Xiaoxi saw that the pot was hot, so he poured the rock sugar he bought last night into the pot.

As the domestic heat increased, Leng Xiaoxi slowly stirred the rock sugar that was slowly melting in the pot.

After a while, all the rock sugar in China turned into water, and then the rock sugar slowly changed color, from white to reddish-brown.

Leng Xiaoxi picked up the spoon and picked up a little bit of the sugar juice, raised her arm, pulled the sugar juice in the spoon into a thread and poured it on the panel, and when the sugar juice was a little cooler, she stretched out her fingers and pinched the thread-like sugar juice, put it in her mouth and bit it.

The sugar was still a little soft and not crispy, and after a few seconds, Leng Xiaoxi carefully looked at the color of the sugar juice in the pot and darkened it, so he quickly asked Yu Zhen to pull out the fire in the hearth.

She quickly picked up strings of sugar gourds with her hands and feet, scooped up the boiled sugar syrup with the spoon in her hand, and poured it on the hawthorn sugar gourd.

Suddenly, the brightly colored sugar gourd immediately shiny, and Leng Xiaoxi slammed the syruped sugar gourd on the panel, and then pulled it down.

Suddenly, the syrup on the sugar gourd was pulled out, and various shapes appeared on the head.

"Aftershocks, and fire. ”

"Zhang Hong, bring me the sugar gourd that I can't reach over there. Leng Xiaoxi calmly ordered the two of them to help.

"Zhang Hong, pick up these made sugar gourds and insert them into the straw handle. ”

Under Leng Xiaoxi's orders, the two of them were busy in an orderly manner, half an hour later.

Strings of bright and shiny sugar gourds are made.

"Sister-in-law, is this what you call a sugar gourd?" asked Zhang Hong.

"Sister-in-law, this sugar gourd must be delicious. Aftershock childishly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"Eat as much as you want. Leng Xiaoxi said, reached out and took down two strings of sugar gourds from the straw handle, and handed them to the two of them one by one.

Aftershock took the sugar gourd and couldn't wait to take a bite.

"Quack. There was a crisp sound, and the already solidified syrup on the hawthorn shattered, and the aftershocks took a bite and immediately screamed loudly.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's sweet and sour, and it's fragrant. ”

Seeing the aftershocks like this, Zhang Hong quickly opened his mouth and took a bite, and when a sugar gourd was held in his mouth, his eyes lit up.

"Sister-in-law, why do you say you are so capable, these two things that look inconspicuous have become delicious in the world when you mess with them like this. ”

"It's delicious!" Leng Xiaoxi said, reaching out and taking a string of sugar gourds from the straw handle, and opened his mouth to bite down on a sugar gourd.

Suddenly, a familiar feeling made her heart tremble, filling her mouth, and it made her heart feel like rain.

In modern times, Leng Xiaoxi likes to buy a string of authentic Beijing sugar gourds on the cold Wangfujing Street, and watch the pedestrians passing while eating.

"What are you three uncles and sisters-in-law doing?" The innkeeper came out of the room with sleepy eyes, and saw a fiery red sugar gourd standing outside the door, which looked like blooming petals.

"What's that?"

"Shopkeeper, try it. Leng Xiaoxi took a string of sugar gourds and handed them over.

The shopkeeper was not polite, and when he saw that they were happy to eat, he opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Hmm, what is this, it's delicious. ”

With the praise of the shopkeeper, Leng Xiaoxi wanted to be more confident.

After a few people had breakfast, Leng Xiaoxi divided the sugar gourd into three parts, and asked Zhang Hong to sell a string of ten cents at a price of ten cents.

"Our purpose is not to really sell sugar gourds, we want to gain the trust of the people, the main thing is to find the wild acacia as soon as possible. ”

"I know my sister-in-law, this sugar gourd is just a disguise, if I meet someone who feels good and credible, I will take the initiative to give it, not sell it. ”

The aftershocks were enlightened, and Leng Xiaoxi felt that he was doing the right thing.

The three of them carried straw handles on their shoulders, and dozens of strings of sugar gourds were inserted on the straw handles.

Leng Xiaoxi took the lead in tearing her clear throat and shouted loudly.

"Rock sugar gourd...... Delicious rock sugar gourd, authentic Beijing rock sugar gourd. ”

Beijing's authentic rock sugar gourd, what kind of place is Beijing, such people naturally don't know, anyway, Leng Xiaoxi somehow wanted to shout like this.

Approaching the end of the year, the New Year will be celebrated in two days, so when the sun rises in the air, there are many pedestrians on the street, and the people who buy New Year's goods are pulling their children to the street.

The fiery brown sugar gourd that Leng Xiaoxi and Yu Zhen and the others were carrying on their shoulders immediately attracted the attention of too many people as soon as they appeared in the eyes of everyone.

"Look! What is this?"

"This looks like a hawthorn, but it doesn't look like it!"

"It's a hawthorn, but what's the shiny thing on the hawthorn?"

"The shiny thing on the hawthorn is rock sugar, which is called rock sugar gourd, and it is delicious. Leng Xiaoxi saw that he had attracted so many people, and introduced everyone with a smile.

"Is this rock sugar gourd delicious?" A weak man in a long robe was holding a very decently dressed boy in his hand, and the boy was looking up and asking Leng Xiaoxi about them.

"It's delicious, of course it's delicious, don't believe it or taste it. Leng Xiaoxi said, and hurriedly took down a string of sugar gourds from the straw and sent them to the little boy's hands.

"Oh, no, how much silver is this sugar gourd?" Seeing this, the man in the long robe hurriedly stopped and reached out to take out the silver in his arms.

"Isn't this big brother just a string of sugar gourds? Your child is our first customer, and this string of sugar gourds will be given away for nothing. ”

Leng Xiaoxi stretched out his hand to push away the silver handed over by the man, and bowed his head to the little child who was biting the sugar gourd.

"Children, tell everyone, is this sugar gourd delicious?"

"It's delicious, the sugar gourd is so delicious, it's sour and sweet, and it's crunchy. "The little boy is clearly educated and not afraid to give birth.

As soon as the kid shouted like this, he immediately made the people around him want to move.

"How do you sell sugar gourds?"

"Sugar gourd ten pennies a string. Leng Xiaoxi released a low price.

"It's only ten cents, how can such a good-looking and delicious sugar gourd be sold for ten cents?"

The crowd boiled, and Leng Xiaoxi and Zhang Hong were immediately in a hurry.

"Give me a string. ”

"Give me two strings, I want three. ”

"I have a lot of children, I want five strings. ”

In this way, in just a moment, hundreds of strings of sugar gourds were sold to nothing.

Leng Xiaoxi and Zhang Hong looked at the bare straw, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The three of them knew that the reason why they wanted to do this was not to make money, but to find a suitable identity for them, gain the trust of the nearby people, and avoid unnecessary trouble, and their main purpose was to find Yehuai as soon as possible.

Next, Leng Xiaoxi made a few more pots of rock sugar gourds, although it was not to make money, but the few pieces of silver they brought on them slowly swelled.

That evening, Leng Xiaoxi and Zhang Hong looked at the silver bulging high on the bed, and there was no smile on their faces.

This rock sugar gourd has been sold for three days, and in these three days, there has been no shortage of money, but there is no eyebrows at all for what they want.

"Sister-in-law, what can we do? We can't always sell rock sugar gourds here!" Aftershock said in a warm voice.

"Yes, sister-in-law, what do you think?" Zhang Hong looked at Leng Xiaoxi, who was silent and silent, and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I think we'll be able to attract the people who should come!"

As soon as Leng Xiaoxi's words fell, Zhang Hong and Yu Zhen's eyes lit up.

"Sister-in-law, it turns out that you are not ......" Before Yu Zhen and Zhang Hong's words fell, there was a sound outside the door......

"Is there anyone in the house?"
