There was no curfew in the Song Dynasty, so it was very lively at night, and there were night markets everywhere. There are antiques and treasures, there are also those who eat and drink food, and there are jugglers. All of these were said by the shopkeeper in the Tiantian Restaurant, because the fourth prince himself didn't know where there was a night market, so after eating, he called the shopkeeper to ask.

"Look at the guest officer, what are you two playing, if you want to walk, scatter, go to Bianhe Street, there are more knick-knacks, there are silk handkerchiefs for girls, there are all kinds of toys that children like, as well as headdresses used by men, if you want to find something, go to the Great Xiangguo Temple, mostly some antiques and the like, but I heard that there are big rules there, if you two want to go in, it is best to find someone to inquire about the situation over there."

Jiao Wanwan interrupted him with a smile: "If you want to buy some food or something, where should you go?" ”

"If you want to buy some food, then you have to go to the left side of the tile, although they are all some = small stalls, but most of them are very delicious, they are all years of craftsmanship, and the taste is not needed." The shopkeeper stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "However, they are all some small country flavors, that is, they are eaten once in a while, if it is delicious, we still eat it for the day." ”

Jiao Wanwan, who was funny, couldn't help laughing, and pinched a few copper plates as a reward. When Chengfu came over, he returned the carriage rented by a piece of silver before, and went out in his own carriage instead, the fourth prince wanted to go to the night market over the antiques, and Jiao Wanwan wanted to go to Zhongwazi. After hesitating, the fourth prince finally made a concession: "Antiques are there at any time, besides, this thing is about fate, if there is no fate, it will be in vain to go, if there is fate, even if you don't go today, things are still waiting there, so don't worry." ”

"It's like those food stalls have legs." Jiao Wanwan couldn't help laughing, and was moved by the concession of the four princes, so she took the initiative to reach out and help the four princes tug on the collar: "I appreciate your kindness, tomorrow evening, I will accompany you to visit that antique street." ”

After a pause, he said: "Actually, isn't it a little inappropriate to go to the antique street at night?" Isn't it okay to see things in a well-lit place? It's dark and rumbling at night, and you can't see it clearly, right? What if you lose sight? ”

"That's why I said, it depends on fate." The fourth prince said with a smile, paused, and added: "Moreover, most people are not here to go to Taobao, they just want to have a good time, see if they can have a shit luck, or just for fun." ”

Jiao Wanwan nodded suddenly, just like modern people traveling, shopping Taobao Street is mostly for fun. Who would expect to really be able to find a treasure, there is really a treasure, and the store is not stupid, will it be directly put out for you to buy?

The kind of storyline in the novel where the protagonist finds a treasure in a stall is almost impossible in reality.

It's probably not the same as when people go to see sumo wrestling matches, but it's probably not yet evening, and there aren't many people in this food street. There was an old man guarding the street with a black round belly in front of him, a large cloth bag tied underneath, and a handful of rice in the dustpan beside him.

Jiao Wanwan only felt that the thing was a little familiar, and saw that there was a banner behind the old man, so she leaned over and took a closer look. So, a fortune teller?

However, aren't all fortune-telling stalls on the same table with the four treasures of the study, and the worst ones have to be put in a lottery holder, right? This thing, by the way, no wonder it looks familiar, isn't this a popcorn cylinder? Actually use this to tell the fortune?

"Lang Jun, this, a fortune teller?" I didn't understand it, so I turned my head and asked Zhao Defang, Zhao Defang was also a little puzzled, and turned my head to look at Cheng Fu. Although Cheng Fu has some understanding of the things in the market, he doesn't often walk the streets, this kind of thing is about the side door, and he doesn't understand it.

The group stood in front of the popcorn stall and looked stupid, and then a little lady came over, didn't speak, handed out five copper plates, and then, carefully grabbed a handful of rice and handed it to the old man, who put the rice in the cylinder, and then, it was really popcorn.

There was a loud bang, Jiao Wanwan was prepared, and hurriedly blocked her ears, but the fourth prince was unprepared, took two steps back in surprise, and dragged Jiao Wanwan with her hand, wanting to hide her behind him, the old man couldn't help laughing when he looked at him like this.

Jiao Wanwan was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly said, "You almost scared me, how could there be such a big movement?" ”

"The little lady doesn't know, the louder this sound, the more prosperous it will be in the coming year, and the more rice flowers will burst out, and the more good marriage will be in the future." The old man said as he poured out the bucket of rice flowers, and said to the little lady before: "Congratulations, I will be able to get a good husband in the future, and I will have many sons and many blessings and fortunes." ”

The little lady was very happy, and helped to open the bag and pour out the rice flowers. Jiao Wanwan glanced at it, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, it was really popcorn. But it's the rice, not the corn, that pops.

"Uncle, can you put white sugar in here?" Jiao Wanwan asked curiously, the old man was stunned for a moment, and touched his beard: "White sugar is a little expensive, but it's a good luck, it's a bit of a waste to put this, if you want to put some sugar, little lady, I can also give you a blast, but the price is ......."

"The price is easy to say." Jiao Wanwan hurriedly said, Cheng Fu was very clever, and hurriedly grabbed a handful of copper coins and stuffed them to the old man, this is not just a handful, but several. The old man is experienced, and the grains that burst out are full, and there is a smell of sugar, and he can't finish a bag, probably for the purpose of fortune-telling, the pocket is not too big, and it takes four or five pockets in a row to finish.

The old man said while helping to pack the bag: "The usefulness of this Lou can be great, the spring equinox to blow up a furnace, cut off the harvest of the next year, when building a house, throw a few handfuls on the beams of the house, begging for good luck, now it is autumn, there are fewer people who break the good luck, more of them look at the marriage, I look at the little lady and this Lang Jun male and female appearance, it must be a husband and wife, and the next year will definitely be able to hold a big fat son." ”

"Inherit your old auspicious words." Jiao Wanwan was embarrassed to talk about this topic, but she didn't hear it at the time, Zhao Defang was very happy, and gestured to Chengfu to give a few copper plates, which was regarded as a good luck.

Jiao Wanwan was very generous, left a pocket for the old man, and gave Cheng Fu a pocket, put two pockets on the carriage and went back to Jin Mei and a few of them, and the remaining one bag was carried in her hand, and she grabbed a handful and stuffed it to the four princes, the four princes were a little at a loss, and they didn't want to put it in their mouths, because the big-bellied cylinder before looked a little dirty, and before the rice was put in, I didn't know if it had been washed.

"Taste it, it's delicious." Jiao Wanwan squinted her eyes with a smile, held Zhao Defang's wrist, and pushed it to his mouth, Zhao Defang couldn't refuse, and reluctantly put a few in her mouth, and after eating, her expression didn't change much, she only nodded and said: "It's pretty good, if it's used as a pastime, it's still okay." ”

You can't eat too much of this thing, Jiao Wanwan only took this bag of popcorn and missed the modern era, ate a small half of it and tasted it, and then gave the rest to Cheng Fu again. When you enter the street, you will be greeted by all kinds of scents.

The first family sells steamed buns, and Jiao Wanwan also saw this steamed bun, so she suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten steamed buns for a long time, so she couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Are there any steamed buns?" ”

The lady standing behind the cage blinked and didn't react, and when Jiao Wanwan asked again, she clapped her hands: "The little lady is talking about stuffed steamed buns?" Yes, yes, what kind of stuffing does the little lady want? There are shrimp fillings, fish fillings, lettuce fillings, all of them. ”

Jiao Wanwan asked for one, and there were more than ten in total. I was just going to eat, but I suddenly remembered that it hadn't been long since I had lunch, and my stomach was still a little supportive, even if I only ate one bite, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat it.

"Save it for a while, or, wait until you get home." Zhao Defang couldn't help laughing and pinched Jiao Wanwan's cheeks: "I didn't expect you to be a little man, but you ate a lot, and you didn't gain weight, it's really strange." ”

Jiao Wanwan laughed dryly, a little too carried away. I almost forgot, the purpose of coming out today is to cultivate feelings, and the soul of this foodie has to be pressed first, anyway, the snack street is here, and there will always be a chance to come in the future.

However, looking at it but not being able to eat, Jiao Wanwan was very indignant in her heart, and she knew that she would not eat lunch.

"I see that most of the shops haven't opened yet, so why don't we go elsewhere and come back in the evening?" Jiao Wanwan looked up at Zhao Defang, Zhao Defang's face regained the faint smile she had before, and nodded in response: "It's okay, do you have a place you want to go?" ”

"No, what about you?" Jiao Wanwan asked rhetorically, and when she looked up, she saw a teahouse on the other side, where three or five men were sitting listening to books, and a few women ordered drinks to drink, so she raised her finger and pointed: "Why don't we go to the teahouse and sit and rest for a while?" I just had lunch, so it's good to sit down first. ”

The fourth prince didn't refute, Cheng Fu hurriedly went over and asked Xiao Er to wipe the stool and wipe the table, and then ordered snacks and tea, including fried chestnuts, dried fruits and the like, and a few snacks, set the table, and then turned back to please Jiao Wanwan: "Is it enough for the lady to look at these?" ”

Jiao Wanwan was speechless, after half a day of hard work, she had the impression of a big rice bucket in the hearts of the master and servant?
