Chapter 245: Meng Po's Soup
Xiao Ding's master and servant lived in an inn in Jizhou City. When I woke up, it was already the second day of the second month of February, and the dragon raised its head.
In this era, the second day of February is also called the "Dragon Head Festival", "Ploughing Festival", "Agricultural Festival", "Dragon Festival", "Green Dragon Festival" and so on. Legend has it that the dragon wakes up from its slumber on this day of the year, and the farmers in the fields also start their work on this day. In the south, this day is still the "birthday of the land", and some people will go to the temple today to burn incense and worship the god of the land, praying for "land and land" in the coming year.
However, in the north, it is still not possible to start ploughing on February 2. After all, the north was much colder than the south in this era. However, on the second day of February, the folk also have dragon dances and lion dances on this day to celebrate the dragon raising its head and all things beginning to wake up.
It's a pity that the road outside is full of snow today, and the dragon and lion dance should not work. Xiao Ding opened the window of the room and looked out into the street.
After seeing the heavy snowfall, the entire Jizhou City has become a world covered in silver.
Because of the cold weather, there are few pedestrians on the street, but there are a few dogs running and chasing and playing. Xiao Ding saw the dog running back and forth in the snow, and suddenly remembered a limerick poem he had read before the crossing: "The river is general, and the well is black." Yellow dogs are white, white dogs are swollen. ”
It is said that this limerick poem was written by a scholar named Zhang Dayou in the Tang Dynasty, so later generations called the slang, humorous, small and interesting poem he wrote "limerick poem".
Xiao Ding was thinking wildly, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing on the corner of the street, and then walked to the back of the house and disappeared.
However, now Xiao Ding's eyes are abnormal and he is extraordinary. Even when he looked at this flashing figure, he felt that this figure seemed to be a little familiar, and for a while he couldn't remember who it was, and he had some doubts in his heart.
secretly thought, in this Jizhou city, there seems to be no one I am familiar with! How can you see a familiar shadow?

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think about it, so I didn't think about it. After freshening up, he called Liu San and Jiang's mother and son downstairs to have breakfast in the hall.
Because of the heavy snow last night, Xiao Ding decided to rest in Jizhou City for a day before hurrying. First, because even the rush really needs to rest; The second is to wait for the traces of cars and horses on the official road to come out, and then drive north, maybe the road will be better.
So Xiao Ding spent a day in the inn, practicing the exercises for a day, and in the evening, he saw that the snow on the street had basically been cleaned up by every household, so after dinner, he took Liu San and Jiang's mother and son to wander on the street.
The night market in Jizhou City is still noisy, perhaps because people hold it for too long during the day, and they all come out at night.
All kinds of small businesses and all kinds of shouts and shouts on the street stalls came and went. Although the flow of people is not as much as during the New Year's holiday, it is also a group of two groups one after another.
The master and servant chatted as they walked, and by the way, they would buy some snacks for Jiang's son Tiedan. Happy Iron Egg Jumping.
A few people were walking forward, and Xiao Ding suddenly heard an old shout coming into his ears: "Meng Po soup, sell Meng Po soup!" One mouthful is born sweet, two mouthfuls are rebellious and spicy, three mouthfuls cherish sour, four mouthfuls are bitter debts, five mouthfuls are numb, and the last mouthful is white water, which lightens the taste in the mouth, forgets the past, and resolves the enmity and hatred......"
Selling Meng Po Soup? Xiao Ding was curious and thought, it's really a big world! Even Meng Po left Nai He Bridge and came to Jizhou City to sell soup and make money!
Xiao Ding laughed in his heart, but he walked in the direction of the source of the sound with Liu San and Jiang, and because of the curiosity, he wanted to go over and see what was going on.
He didn't go far before he saw a stall surrounded by many people.
Xiao Ding also approached Liu San and the others. As soon as he walked to the periphery of the crowd, Xiao Ding heard a young woman's voice say, "Meng Po, bring me another bowl of soup!" ”
Then I heard the old voice just now say, "Girl, you are the seventh bowl!" ”
Xiao Ding squeezed into the crowd and saw a big pot on top of the stall, and I don't know what kind of soup was boiling in it. Behind the pot stood an old mother-in-law, who was rickety, with wrinkled skin and a ghost-masked mask on her face, looking a little terrifying. But the voice that spoke was somewhat kind. She held a long-handled spoon in her withered hand and was pouring soup into the bowl next to the pot.
Opposite the old woman, there stood a young girl, who listened to the old woman's words and said, "I want to say, Mrs. Meng, is your soup the right water?" Why is it useless? ”
The old woman with the mask looked up at the young girl and said, "You girl, there are people who refuse to forget!" ”
The girl said quietly: "I have been kind all my life, and I have not done anything bad in my life. But I have not fallen into any of the sufferings of this world. The world is a good place, but in the next life, I don't want to come again. After saying that, the girl actually shed two lines of tears.
Xiao Ding looked at this girl carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt like the daughter of Zheng from Yanzhou Zhizhou. Especially the tone of her voice. It may be that she deliberately changed her appearance, so she didn't recognize her at the first time.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that the shadow he saw on the street corner from the window in the morning was very similar to the shadow in front of him, could it be her?
Xiao Ding secretly said, how could Zheng Zhizhou's daughter come to Jizhou? Isn't she with Bai Junfei?
At this time, I saw that Meng Po filled another bowl of soup, brought it to the girl, and said, "After drinking this seventh bowl, I will forget the past, but I will hate ...... hatred."
The girl reached out to take the bowl, and was about to open her mouth to drink, when Xiao Ding suddenly reached out and slapped the bowl, knocking the bowl to the ground, and then said, "Don't drink it, the soup is poisonous!" ”
The Meng Po behind the pot, when she saw Xiao Ding's actions, suddenly her eyes were cold. shouted loudly: "Who are you, dare to come over and ruin my good deeds?" ”
Xiao Ding laughed and said, "Who are you?" What is your purpose in secretly putting ** medicine in the soup? ”
"Who the hell are you? Whether I take ** medicine or not, I don't need you to care, which sect are you a disciple who can't open your eyes? How dare you come to me? The self-proclaimed Meng Po was so angry that he knocked on the side of the pot with a spoon and said.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, why do you secretly confuse ordinary people under the pretense of selling soup, what do you mean? Xiao Ding was also a little angry and asked in a loud voice.
When the surrounding people heard Xiao Ding say this, they also started to discuss: "It turns out that she is drugged in the soup, no wonder some people don't remember anything after drinking the soup!" ”
When Meng Po saw Xiao Ding exposing her details in front of her, she was already angry, and suddenly pulled out a soft whip from her waist and hit Xiao Ding.
When Xiao Ding saw it, he said in his heart, it seems that he has to fight again today!
