36. Chapter 36
A large rooster was quickly devoured, and just as all three were hungry for meat, the carriage saw the smoke in front of it from a distance of a few small hills.
There is cooking smoke means that there are people, and the little fat man's eyes lit up, "There should be a village ahead!" Let's buy something from the villagers. "The closer you get to Yanzhou, the denser the population becomes, and the number of villages increases, unlike when you didn't see a person for three or five days before.
"It's time to buy food." Xia Bilei looked at the remaining little bit of rice noodles and agreed, "But will it be troublesome for our three children to drive a carriage for people to find out?" ”
Qin Mao pondered, "Fatty, you go shopping, let's stop the carriage at the entrance of the village, if there is something wrong, run quickly." ”
"You're thinking too much, you're almost paranoia about being killed as Sister Bilei said." The little fat man who always feels that there is true love in the world doesn't think so.
"That's it, Chubby, when you go shopping, you say that the adults are in the carriage, and don't be found out that there are no adults in the carriage." Xia Bilei felt that she was not afraid of 10,000, but she was afraid that she would tell the little fat man.
The little fat man nodded, thinking of the big rooster he had eaten up before, and drooled, "Let's buy some chicken roast from the villagers and eat it." ”
"If I want to buy clothes, it doesn't matter if I don't have silk, I also recognize linen." Qin Mao, who was driving the car, echoed, "These two clothes are exchanged for each other, and the clothes are too dirty for us to travel every day, but they are easy to break when we wash them." "And sometimes when it rains, your clothes don't dry and you can't wash them, and you can't change your clothes when you sweat so much...... Qin Mao can't bear this, he has a habit of cleanliness, he used to go to the shower when he sweated, and changed his clothes several times a day, which is like a set of clothes now, sometimes it takes ten days and half a month to wear a set of clothes!
"I also want to eat roast chicken and buy new clothes, but we don't have the money!" Xia Bilei didn't raise her head and refused: "I want to buy twenty catties of rice and three catties of eggs...... If you can buy some salt, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, ......" She frowned and calculated the purchasing power of two taels of silver, the little fat man was born in a businessman, and he was quite familiar with all kinds of prices, and it should not be more expensive than the market price for her to buy rice and eggs in the village.
Xia Bilei frowned sadly and thought that the silver was not enough, the price was too high, and the little fat man suddenly felt that she looked very interesting, obviously a little girl, talking like a housekeeper and a young grandmother.
"Ahhh......h So many things I want to buy! ”
The little fat man couldn't bear to lean over, "Sister Bilei, you can spend this silver, my father should have a shop in Yanzhou, and I will ask for silver from the manager when the time comes......"
Xia Bilei's eyes lit up, "So we will have silver soon?!" As long as we go to Yanzhou, we don't have to worry about anything, we can eat and wear...... The most important thing is that someone takes us home! ”
The little fat man nodded violently and sucked his saliva, "So we can buy chickens, right?" Wow, I'm here for the long-lost roast chicken! ”
"No way!" Xia Bilei immediately turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, "Wait until Yanzhou is sure that we are not short of silver." "She is an insecure person, and she does not forget to prepare a way out for herself if she is not 100% sure of everything.
"Chubby, why didn't you say it earlier if there is a shop in Yanzhou?" Taking advantage of Xia Bilei's lack of attention, Qin Mao asked the little fat man in a low voice.
The little fat man's face was a little worried, "Ah Mao, firstly, I have no evidence to prove that I am a young owner, Yanzhou Mountain is far from the emperor, and secondly, my father said that it has not been easy to open a shop in Yanzhou...... "There are many reasons for disobedience, and the most feared thing is that the shopkeeper has two hearts, and the guest is a big bully."
Qin Mao patted him on the shoulder wordlessly, he didn't dare to go to the yamen to prove his identity for this reason, for fear that he would step into the yamen with his front foot and the ghost gate with his back foot.
The village is beautiful hidden among the green mountains and green waters, with willow trees like silk, unknown flowers, red, pink and purple blooming on both sides of the road, cows walking slowly on the main road, and the barking of dogs and the laughter of children can be heard from time to time. It can be seen that the living standards of the villagers are quite good in the Daliang Dynasty, and now that lunch time has just passed, many people have just finished lunch and rested at home for a while to continue working in the afternoon, and only playful children gather at the head of the village to frolic.
When the carriage passed by, many children looked at it curiously, and the little fat man jumped out of the carriage and asked the children for news with a smile.
Qin Mao drove the car, Xia Bilei hid in the carriage, and with her current appearance that was more terrifying than a ghost, it was better not to go out and scare the child.
The village is located on the road leading to Yanzhou, and it is common for people to come and buy some grain and rice, so the villagers are not surprised, but they are just surprised why a child came forward.
"My dad is in the carriage, he has a little cold, I am worried that he will come out to be windy, so I ask myself to come out ......" When the little fat man is happy, there is a sense of jumping in his voice, like a golden undulating wheat field under a clear sky, "My father also thinks that children should exercise more, and they can't sit in the well and watch the sky......" The tone was very proud and showed off with a hint of the smugness of children of this age, so that adults couldn't help but smile when they heard it.
"Yes, your father called you chubby, you are really capable...... the middle-aged aunt praised, and was overjoyed by the little fat man's words and sisters, and gave him a few handfuls of garlic and onions for no money.
"Thank you, sister, by the way, this uncle, the rice is cheaper, how about ten cents cheaper?"
"The price of this rice can't be less, it's already cheaper than the market price, how much do you have a penny, not two ......pennies" The middle-aged man's voice was a little wavering, such a cute child, or charge less silver.
Since being split, Xia Bilei has very smart ears and eyes, and she happily relayed the record of the little fat man buying things to Qin Mao through the carriage, "Chubby is really amazing, I think he has become more and more good at acting recently, and he has a proper ...... to win an Oscar."
"Oscar?"
"An award given to the person with the best acting skills."
What is there to praise for the award of the play, Qin Mao didn't think so, and then heard Xia Bilei's snickering, "At least people have good acting skills, Ah Mao you can't do it, come, laugh, don't frighten the children......"
There is a knife hidden in the smile, who can't have three knives on both sides, it's just that he doesn't care about it, Qin Mao snorted coldly, and then heard the people around him invariably suck the saliva that was about to flow.
Although the carriage stopped at the head of the village, but the children around him had nothing to do, and Qin Mao was born too beautiful, it was like a fairy for these rural children who were tanned by Urima, and the children who were bored with idleness came to pass, and one by one, the older teenagers and girls couldn't help but run over.
The amazed gazes of the surrounding teenagers and girls made Qin Mao extremely uncomfortable, his brows furrowed and he glared at him one by one, and the people who were secretly looking at him felt even more amazed, and secretly discussed.
"You see, he's so good-looking when he's angry." A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy wrapped in green silk like a fat green worm sucked his saliva, his mother said that she wanted to kiss him, he didn't pick it, he was satisfied with half the beauty in front of him.
"It must be the girl's house." A twelve or thirteen-year-old, thin boy like a monkey is about to drool down, beautiful, so beautiful!
"No, it must be a beautiful boy!" deliberately changed into a pink flower skirt, and the round-looking little girl was a nymphomaniac, "You see he is wearing men's clothes." ”
"It's also possible that women dress up as men." Another teenager said fascinatedly, but he didn't dare to come forward and ask, for some reason, the beauty in the carriage had an aura that they didn't dare to approach, which made people awe-inspiring, and it was more terrifying than seeing the patriarch.
Qin Mao's face became even colder, and Xia Bilei simply burst into her belly with laughter and rolled around in the carriage.
The children around are pushing, wanting to step forward to make friends with beauties but don't have the guts, beauties are beautiful but too cold.
"Dad, I'm back and bought a lot of things." The little fat man deliberately raised his voice, and watched the onlookers get out of the way with satisfaction.
"Let's go!" Qin Mao burst out a word from between his teeth.
"Ahh......h Loud and powerful, obviously a little beautiful man. "The heart of the girl in the flower skirt is drunk.
"Why is this pleasant voice a man, it's obviously a girl......" The chubby green silk boy was still drooling.
Xia Bilei rubbed her belly, which was about to burst into laughter, and after taking the things in the little fat man's hand and putting them away, she lowered her voice to a low and hoarse voice, "Girl, let's go on the road!" ”
Qin Mao's forehead was exposed, and he threw it over with a whip, and the horse hurriedly opened its hooves and galloped all the way.
A group of young teenagers shouted in surprise behind him, "Sure enough, it's a girl's house, so I said that it was a man dressed as a woman." ”
"Ahhh......h ”
"How can it be a girl?" The little girl in the flower skirt was about to cry, "How can she be a girl's family if she looks so good." ”
Xia Bilei laughed wildly again, the little fat man looked at Qin Mao's face, he was almost scared to death, he quickly poked Xia Bilei who was rolling around in the carriage: "Don't laugh, Ah Mao is not good-tempered." ”
Xia Bilei rubbed her waist that couldn't stand up with a smile, and apologized to Qin Mao a few times, but she only got his white eyes and a cold snort, and she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, but she didn't dare to laugh anymore.
Qin Mao is still sulking now, Xia Bilei recognized him as a girl, and embarrassed him, but she didn't know how much trouble she had saved in the future by being naughty at the moment, and it could even be said that she had saved his life.
"Sister Bilei, you are so powerful, your voice just now sounds like a man's voice." In order to avoid the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond, the little fat man hurriedly changed the topic, "I was worried that someone would suspect it, but when I heard that voice, everyone would not suspect that I still had a father in the carriage." ”
"Is that the sound? Smash~~" Xia Bilei squeezed out a rough and hoarse voice again.
The little fat man clapped his hands violently, "That's right, Sister Bilei is so powerful, where did you learn it?" Will there be anything else? ”
Xia Bilei said with a smile, "I only learned if I think it's fun, but I won't learn anything else." "She was a money-loser in her family in her last life, and there was no shortage of people bullying her when she was in school, especially when she went to the town, there were winding alleys everywhere, and there was a brain-dead who wanted to be an old boy hidden somewhere. Many people in the town are adults who accompany their children to and from class, but she has never had this treatment. Ignorant and fearless, these teenage children only know that they can go to the Internet café to play games and buy cigarettes to smoke when they extort money, and they don't think that the means will be too much, so the most murderers in the town are these teenage children, she is afraid every time she walks these alleys, afraid that one day she will not be able to pay for it and be stabbed, so she learned to speak with men, and when she saw that something was wrong, she pretended to be accompanied.
"Sister Bilei, what's wrong?" The little fat man grabbed Xia Bilei's hand and asked with concern, why did she seem to be very sad.
"It's nothing ......" Xia Bilei smiled, shook her head and threw away the bad memory, she is no longer a younger brother, now she is Xia Bilei, and there are two sworn brothers Xia Bilei, "I want to ask Chubby, have you bought chili peppers?" I'll see if I can make spicy strips. "Eat spicy strips to comfort yourself.
"Chili?" The little fat man wondered, "What's that?" ”
Sure enough, it's an era without chili peppers, goodbye, her spicy strips! Xia Bilei said weakly, "A long, red-red seasoning that tastes like a fire in the mouth." ”
Like a fire? Is anyone eating such a terrible seasoning? The little fat man was puzzled, but he decided that he must find this trick called Chili if he had a chance in his life, and he really hated the sad and smiling expression of Sister Bilei.
