Chapter 15. Small town

The sky was bright, Xiao Yao and the three of them finished breakfast, Yang Cheng saw that Zhang Suniang's face was not very good, so he discussed with Zhang Suniang and said, "Su Niang, we have been on the road for so many days, and we are indeed tired." Rest for the day today and set off tomorrow. Then he looked at Zhang Suniang with expectant eyes. Xiao Yao was also looking forward to looking at Zhang Suniang.

"You decide, it's not good to rest for a few more days." Zhang Suniang patted Yang Cheng and said with a smile, "Okay, you two go there for a walk, I'll tidy up my things and see what is missing, and I need to make up for it." Then he threw them out.

Yang Cheng walked out of the inn with Xiao Yao in his arms, and saw that the few sparse people outside were all wearing single clothes, which was estimated to be the beginning of summer. Walk along the main road, this main road is only two carriages and walk as wide, it is made of mud, sand and small stones, it is very flat and clean, the surrounding houses are stone foundations, and then cut on adobe bricks, the top is made of wood and tiles, it looks very regular, and the alleys of the same size can be walked by three people, and the back is also a house of about the same size. The houses on both sides of the main road have set up storefronts to do business, such as opening restaurants, grain shops, selling pastries, noodles, buns, selling cloth, opening silver buildings, selling incense powder, and so on.

At the end of this main road, there is a free farmer's market, which is only open in the morning, and everyone comes early, occupies a good position according to the regulations, and sells their own products, selling vegetables, eggs, bamboo products such as bamboo carrots, pork, fish, handkerchiefs, shoe soles, pastry buns, acrobatics, and so on. Although everyone looks a little tired, but full of hope, with a longing eye to look at passers-by, some shouting loudly, some to introduce products to customers, some are bargaining, some are quietly squatting there waiting, some people have sold things and left, some have just come, people come and go, people are noisy, and it is very lively.

Xiao Yao watched it very happily, watching chickens and ducks babbling, drooling when she saw food, bouncing when she saw acrobatics, Yang Cheng looked at Xiao Yao so happy, and laughed along.

Yang Cheng took Xiao Yao to the market, and when he saw something novel and lively, he went up to watch it, just like this fried chestnut with sugar, from the beginning to the end:

"Come, come, take a look, grandfathers, uncles, uncles, grandmothers, aunts, don't miss it, sugar fried chestnuts are sweet and sweet, the powder can't be stopped, don't miss it." After eating the bag, you will return to the taste. A crisp voice in a low tone was selling.

Soon the stall selling chestnuts was full of people, selling a girl about 10 years old, with a pair of smart eyes, standing next to a cramped, honest, strong man holding a scale, in front of two baskets of fried chestnuts, estimated to be about 100 catties.

The girl saw that everyone was crowding, but no one wanted to buy it, just watched. So he grabbed a handful of chestnuts in the basket and said, "Try it, taste it, it's delicious, and then you can shoot it, and if it's not delicious, you don't need money." ”

They were given to the people who stood at the front, and they peeled one for themselves and put it in their mouths to chew. The people who took the chestnuts in the front row also ate the same thing, and someone asked, "It's delicious, little girl, how do you sell it?" ”

"30 Wen 1 catty, how much does the uncle want?" The girl replied loudly.

"It's so expensive, it's more expensive than pork. Grab the money. The person next to him immediately said.

"Our chestnut is a new species, you haven't seen anyone else sell this, and this one is delicious. You've just tried it all. And this is the last one, and if you want to eat it in the future, you will have to wait. The girl replied crisply. He took another handful and gave it to the well-dressed child who was standing and watching.

"Bring me two pounds," the kid in front said as he ate, and then said to the man behind, "Take it and pay." ”

The young servant in the back immediately came up to pay and take the chestnut wrapped in banana leaves handed by the stout man.

Seeing that someone was buying, and then someone came up to buy it, the girl shouted and sold while collecting the money and said: "Sugar fried chestnuts, delicious and good, grandparents eat good health, uncle and brother eat body sticks, aunts and sisters eat good faces, younger brothers and sisters eat brains." You won't lose money if you buy it. ”

The people who watched laughed and said that the little girl had a sweet mouth and could speak. The girl continued, "Uncle likes to drink, so you can drink too." Soon one basket of chestnuts was sold out.

"Come, come, come, don't hesitate, don't hesitate, look at it and wait for a while, it's gone, good things don't wait for anyone." The girl's selling words are not repeated, Xiao Yao is very suspicious that this girl is crossing, and the selling is so modern.

Soon most of the frames were sold, Xiao Yao was a little anxious, and she also wanted to eat it, she hadn't eaten it for a long time. patted Yang Cheng on the shoulder, pointed to the basket, and screamed, Yang Cheng looked at Xiao Yao and asked suspiciously, "Big girl wants to eat?" ”

Xiao Yao still pointed at the chestnut and nodded, babbling and screaming.

"Ghost girl, do you want to eat?" Yang Cheng said with a smile, then walked to the stall and took out 30 Wen and gave it to the girl and said, "Little girl, come to 1 pound of chestnuts." ”

"Okay." The little girl smiled and accepted the money and said, "My sister is so cute, give me more, and grow up quickly." ”

"Ha, ha, okay, I'll just say it to you, and I'll have another 1 catty." Yang Cheng said happily. Then he happily returned to the inn.

Seeing that Zhang Suniang was sitting at the square table, he hurriedly sat on the side with Xiao Yao in his arms, put down the chestnuts, got a glass of water, fed Xiao Yao a drink, poured another cup three or two times and drank it and said: "Su Niang, come and see this, new, I haven't seen it in Kyoto, try it."

Zhang Suniang opened the banana leaf, took out a brown, sticky chestnut, and said, "This is for eating?" How to eat? ”

Yang Cheng put Xiao Yao on his knees, took out 1 chestnut, his fingers along the opening, and as soon as he broke it, he saw the golden chestnut inside, which smelled very fragrant, and handed it to Zhang Suniang and said, "Eat the inside, try it." ”

Zhang Suniang took it, put it in her mouth, chewed it a few times, nodded and said, "It's delicious, powdery, sweet, you can eat it too." Then he peeled off the shell, ate it himself, and gave a little to Xiao Yao to chew slowly. It's delicious, I miss it so much, Xiao Yao misses it while eating.

"Don't eat too much, I'll have lunch later, save some for tomorrow in the car." Yang Cheng reminded and said with a smile, "The big girl is also a greedy person and can eat, don't give her too much to eat, she is too young for fear of not digesting." She also bought it when she wanted to eat it, and we also followed the blessing to try new things. ”

"Heh, heh, you just know. You're sluggish", Zhang Suniang said with a smile, packing the rest with her hands and putting it away, planning to keep it for tomorrow in the car.

"What do we lack? After lunch, let's go buy it again. Yang Cheng asked while drinking water.

"Let's buy some more dry food, as well as rice noodles, and some fabrics. I have to make two sets of clothes for the big girl. Zhang Suniang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's arrange it early, rest early, and leave early tomorrow." Yang Cheng looked at Zhang Suniang happily and said.

Zhang Suniang nodded in agreement.
