The restaurants that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain are busy on market days. Most of them are mom-and-pop shops, and they only open on the spot, so there aren't many people in each restaurant. Every restaurant is the same, from snacks to stir-fried dishes, from pasta to rice, basically the ingredients are prepared. And what is indispensable in every store is the braised vegetables that we have mentioned many times.

Jiacang's braised vegetables have a long history and belong to a branch of Sichuan breight. As early as the Warring States Period, it has been recorded, in the long history of thousands of years, based on the salt of Bashujing, the dietary habits of "still taste, good spicy" have been formed, and the Western Jin Dynasty has used fish salt, tea honey, and Danjiao to make brine, and the Western Han Dynasty "Shu Du Fu" recorded, "Five meat and seven vegetables, hazy and fishy, can practice the gods and nourish the blood, all of them."

The town is not as good as the city, and there are not many sources of ingredients, and most of the marinated food comes from slaughtered pigs, chickens, ducks, poultry and some beans. The dense brine is boiled, and the meat and vegetables are not divided - the washed pig's head, pig ears and liver, tongue, belly, intestines, etc., or chicken feet and duck paws, chicken and duck offal, or vegetarian dishes such as beans, peanuts, lotus roots, etc., are put into the pot, and the boiling time is determined according to the needs of the ingredients. The same pot of brine, but due to the difference in ingredients and time, the taste is completely different.

There are no names in the restaurants in the big town, and you can know who is delicious and who is not. In Liulong, the best lo-mei is the first one in the east of the street. Ding Sheng sat in the restaurant early and asked for a plate of strange beans to drink alone. After a long while, Ding Ping led Guangwen in.

"Brother Ding......" Guangwen nodded politely, and was almost laughed out loud by Ding Sheng, who was shy and wearing a small suit but a pair of semi-rubber shoes.

"Sit down!" Ding Sheng had already learned the etiquette of shaking hands, and after stretching out his right hand to be polite, he yelled at the back kitchen: "Boss, bring the dishes up, and then beat half a catty of wine!" Ding Ping took two tea cups, filled up tea for Guangwen and himself, and sat down.

"Go and invite your sister Guangxiu and eldest brother-in-law!" Ding Ping's buttocks didn't sit down, and the eldest brother ordered to get up. Ding Ping said "hehe" twice and went out happily.

"You kid is a solution. Since I started wholesale in my fish pond, I have made more money than I used to sell everywhere, and I am not so tired! Ding Sheng said as he poured wine for Guangwen.

Guangwen hurriedly waved his hand. "You engage in large-scale farming, if you don't do it, you won't find a way out!"

"By the way, look at your oranges, I'm afraid they're almost sold now, right?"

"There's not much left, thank you, Brother Ding. Introduce so many people to the right ......"

"Your baby is too polite, and you will be a family in the future, and you still say these ......"

Guangwen smiled reluctantly and took a sip from his teacup.

"When you're done, we'll also set up the marriage between the two of you, which can be regarded as my heart! Hey......" Ding Sheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Brother Ding, Ding Ping is still young, and he can't reach the legal age of marriage......"

"Don't me, what's the legal age of marriage? In our rural areas, a wine and a guest visit to the church is considered to be married. A lot of them are Mr. dolls, you may not know? Besides, if you really wait until your so-called 'legal', look at me, it's already 'legal', but no one is willing to engage me in this marriage......"

"Brother Ding......"

"Don't worry about anything. Let me tell you, my sister, at first she said that she wouldn't marry if I didn't get married, but this time I met you, and I was really moved...... Don't look at her age. But our father and mother left early, and she can be considered sensible......"

"That's not what I meant......"

"Why do you look like a mother-in-law?" Ding Sheng suddenly slammed the wine glass on the table, "I look at you like this, or do you think my sister is not worthy of you?" ”

"Not ......"

"I'll tell you. My sister's birthday has been with you. She is very tough, she is free of all the cutscenes such as looking at people and engagements, I don't take a penny from the bride price, and I have a lot of dowry......"

Guangwen didn't know about the combination of eight characters at all, and it was estimated that his mother and eldest sister made it again, what age is this. How can you still make such an arranged marriage? He was a little annoyed, but looking at Ding Sheng, who was even more annoyed, he just suppressed his anger. "Brother Ding, this marriage is a matter of two people, and wishful thinking will not be happy......"

"I know your turtle son didn't take a fancy to my sister! Count, these three-legged cats are not easy to find, and there are not many two-legged men? Ding Sheng stood up angrily, went over to the boss to settle the account, and was about to go out.

Ding Ping led Guangxiu and collided with him. "What are you doing? Elder brother! ”

Ding Sheng picked up his sister and left, "People didn't take a fancy to us, so let's not stick a cold ditch (ass), go!" Ding Ping broke free from her brother's hands and ran home crying. It can be seen from his brother's affection that Wang Guangwen is determined to marry her and has no intention of marrying her.

Guangxiu apologized and walked to the restaurant. Guangwen felt like the stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and he raised a small half glass of wine and drank it. "You're embarrassed to drink here, what did you talk to Brother Ding?"

Guangwen looked at the angry old lady, "I didn't say anything, sister, Ding Ping and I are not suitable, can you respect my opinion?" ”

"Wang Guangwen, you are not too young! What's your opinion? Your opinion is to find that burnt female director? Your opinion is to make Daddy half dead ......"

Guangxiu didn't finish speaking, Guangwen stood up and left. He really didn't want to argue with anyone anymore, and no one would understand his love at all.

He did not return home, but took a boat to the stone bridge.

The winter sunset is particularly shy, and you can't see the shadow before four o'clock. The roar of Shufen's rice threshing machine had just stopped, and the "moo......" sound of scalpers echoed in Yangjiawan.

Shufen, who had just finished dusting the wheat, put her back in the eaves, took off her apron and prepared to wash her hands. A familiar shadow swayed from the ridge outside the dam, Shufen opened her eyes, and after making sure that it was not a hallucination, she called out: "Brother Guangwen?!" ”

Guangwen walked quickly to Shufen, looking at the girl with a wig with red eyes. "Shufen, what's the busy?"

"Don't be busy, you haven't saved relatives for a long time!" Shufen smiled, then beckoned him to sit in the room.

"I ...... Orange picking! ”

"It's not a bad year! I rushed to the market that day to see that there were oranges on the street, and when I looked at them, I knew that they were of good seeds, and when I asked, they were wholesaled by your family! ”

"Not bad...... Guangwen who was empty-handed was a little embarrassed, and it stands to reason that he should give Shufen a pick.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with a black head? ”

"It's nothing, Shufen, I'm going to Liulong today......"

"Six Dragons?" Shufen had just sat down, and the scar on the left side of her face twitched slightly, "Do you sell oranges?" ”

"No, because Ding Ping ......"

"Oh, you ......"

"We'll never have anything to do with it again! Shufen, I'll take you to see my orange tree......"

Shufen lowered her head, she didn't want to say a word. In the past two or three months, she has learned a lot of news from Guangwen's aunt, and Guangwen Niang also deliberately released her words, saying that Guangwen was going to marry Ding Ping in winter. The sane Shufen believed that it was fake, but she knew that Guangwen's family would not be able to accept a girl like her no matter what. Even though she had been discouraged, she was very calm. didn't expect that when I really saw him, my heart would still be shocked.

"Shufen ......"

"Oh, no!" Shufen raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "There are many ways to live at home!" ”

"Shall I stay here and help you?"

"You're kidding again, can you leave you in the orchard? Didn't have lunch (lunch)? ”

"I've eaten it!" Guangwen lied to her and said, "That'...... Alright then, I'll send you some oranges in a few days! ”

"No, Brother Guangwen, actually...... You should still think about that girl named Ding Ping......"

"Shufen, it's not that you don't know, I ......"

"You wait a minute...... Shufen deliberately interrupted Guangwen's words, "I went to Linmu that day, Uncle Nie took a few books, and I will give you two!" Shufen went into the house to get the book, and when she came out, Guangwen was gone.

Shufen stood outside the dam, and the lonely shadow was running. She didn't call out again, tears already blurring her eyes...... (To be continued.) )
