Chapter 028: Ripping the Cloth
This alley is called Girl's Alley, and it sells food from beginning to end, such as grilled fish, stuffed shrimp, steamed clams, noodles, cakes, buns, wontons, sugar lotus, sour powder, everything. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The stalls are not big, and the better conditions are to build a shed, put two tables and a few stools, and two or three people are busy working together; There is only one person in poor conditions, a wheelbarrow, a burden, and the guests either eat standing or ask for a horse to sit and eat, wipe their mouths after eating, and throw down a few dollars and go away.
People come and go, voices are noisy, the air is full of all kinds of mouth-watering food aromas, but also filled with the smell of fireworks and human feelings. Being in it, Mulan couldn't stop her eyes from heating up, and in her trance, she had a feeling that she hadn't returned to the world until this moment.
Da Chun was stunned when he saw her standing, and touched her shoulder with his hand, "Shengzi, what do you want to eat?" If you have a look, just say, don't be polite to your uncle. ”
Mulan came back to her senses, looked at each side, and chose a stall that sold noodles.
She was originally from the north and preferred pasta. In the more than ten years I have lived on the island, I have tasted the taste of rice, but the white noodles are nowhere to be found. When I go to Dachun's house, I eat more rice and less noodles.
Xiugu often makes only steamed buns, pancakes and noodle soup, she is not good at pasta, she can't make it at home, she is extremely hungry for pasta ~ thirsty, especially miss the steaming bowl of noodles.
Da Chun led her to the noodle stall, asked her what she meant, and slapped five dollars on the table, "Man, come have a bowl of beef noodles, and then serve me a bowl of noodle soup." ”
pushed the noodles to Mulan, and took the noodle soup to soak in dry food to eat.
The second donkey doesn't like to eat noodles, so he asked the guy to pick up the fat and thin beef and cut it into half a catty, then order a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold side dishes, and ask for a pot of sorghum wine. ”
Da Chun shook his head like a rattle, "If you don't drink or drink, Shanzi can't smell the smell of wine." ”
The second donkey knew that he told his mother-in-law to take care of it tightly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to tell if he would go back with the smell of alcohol, so he stopped letting him and continued to drink and eat vegetables with his mouth smacked.
Mulan took chopsticks and flipped through the bowl, turned out two large pieces of beef, and sandwiched them into the Dachun bowl.
Da Chun returned it to her again, "You eat, you eat, uncle doesn't like to eat this." ”
Mulan knew that he didn't like to eat, but he was reluctant to eat and didn't dare to eat. Before coming, Xiu Gu had already put down her words, and she would not be able to spare him if she spent too much money. Although she worked hard at home, eating a bowl of noodles was not too much, it can be seen that Dachun was eating the soaked dry food in a big gulp, and she was still a little unhappy.
After eating for a while, I felt that my stomach was about to be full, and after two more mouthfuls of soup, I put down my chopsticks, "Uncle Dachun, I'm full." ”
Da Chun glanced into the bowl and saw that there was still nearly half a bowl, so he encouraged her: "Eat it hard, don't leave it, it's blind." ”
"I just can't eat it." Mulan patted her stomach, showed a look of embarrassment, and pushed the bowl in front of him, "If Uncle Da Chun doesn't dislike it, help me finish eating." ”
Da Chun didn't dislike it, but he suspected that Mulan was deliberately letting him eat, so he stared at her and asked, "I really can't eat it?" ”
"I can't eat it." Mulan pretended to burp and put her hand on her neck again, "The noodles are all piled up here." ”
Da Chun told her to laugh and shake her head, "It's strange that you are so thin and eat less." ”
After saying this, he picked up the noodle bowl and snorted and ate it, dried the noodles with three or five chopsticks, and drank the noodle soup with a tilt of his neck. Nibble on half a piece of dry food, and your stomach will be full. Seeing that the second donkey had only drunk half of the wine, he didn't wait for him, and beckoned Mulan and said, "Let's go, uncle will take you somewhere else." ”
Mulan deserved a sound, and followed Da Chun out of the alley and came to East Street.
Compared with West Street, East Street is much wider and cleaner. Most of the people who enter and leave the shop are neatly dressed, wearing silk shirts and hats, some driving, some riding in sedan chairs, and some trembling and sitting on bamboo chariots. Of course, there are also people like Da Chun who sell things and get money, and come to hang out and open their eyes or buy things.
Mulan wanted to know more about the world, and paid attention everywhere along the way, and occasionally saw that she was interested, so she went into the shop and asked for the price. The guys in the store are not as dog-eyed as described in literature or film and television dramas, and everyone who comes is greeted warmly and answers patiently when asked.
It can be seen that the folk customs of this place are still very good.
Da Chun is not as rambling as Mulan, he is purposeful. led Mulan to turn the streets and alleys and came to a cloth village under the guise of "Xu Ji". It's not a big place, a few steps through the door is the counter, the shelves behind are stacked with rolls of fabric, and there are a few pieces of unknown animal skins hanging on the wall.
It was quiet inside, there were no guests, and there were no guys greeting them.
Da Chun was obviously familiar with the people in this cloth village, and when he entered the door, he shouted "dog balls" at the top of his voice.
A fair-skinned man in his twenties poked his head out of the room, chopsticks in his hand, chewing something in his mouth, apparently eating. Seeing Da Chun, he shouted brother first, and then complained inarticulately: "How many times have I told you, I changed my name, why can't you remember?" ”
Da Chun touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "What is your name when you changed your name?" ”
"Wangcai, I'm now called Wangcai."
Mulan couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, saying that this person had nothing to do with dogs.
Hearing the laughter, Wangcai found that there was a doll standing behind Da Chun, stretched his neck to look over, and saw that her eyes were tight, so he asked Da Chun: "Brother Da Chun, whose baby is this?" ”
"My baby." Da Chun replied, then turned his head and instructed Mu Landao, "Call uncle." ”
Mulan took two steps forward and respectfully called "Uncle Wangcai".
Wangcai deserved a sound in his mouth, looked at her carefully for a long time, and suddenly realized, "This is the baby you caught in the sea, right?" Not to mention a female doll, how did it become a male baby? ”
"She looks good, and she is afraid of provoking people's eyes, so she pretends to be a male baby." Da Chun briefly explained to him, then pointed to a roll of brightly colored flower cloth on the shelf, "Take it to me." ”
Wangcai put down his chopsticks this time, wiped his hands with a towel, and moved the roll of cloth to the counter as he said.
Da Chun pulled out half a meter long and measured it on Mulan.
Only then did Mulan realize that she had bought cloth for her, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Uncle Dachun, I don't want it." ”
"Why not? Want. Da Chun insisted on going his own way, pointing to the fabric, "Dog...... Ah, no, Wangcai, you pull this cloth for me a few feet, and then pick a plain one to match a skirt, and ask your mother-in-law to cut and sew it according to her body, and then come to the market next time to get it. ”
