Mao Xiang and Liu Dongjia stood solemnly outside the door of the ancestor of the Liu family, and after a long time, Xi Yingzhen came out of it with his hands behind his back and a smile.

"Master! How? Mao Xiang asked with concern.

"It's fine!" Old man Xi smiled, "Take the good things, let's go!" As he spoke, he said to Liu Dongjia on the side, "You are also a handful of years old, what can you say and what you can't say in your heart, the Taoist master taught you the method of refining that flavor of medicinal materials, and I feel that half a word is leaked........"

"The villain doesn't dare!" Liu Dongjia hurriedly knelt down, "A few villains dare to leak the secret recipe of the real person!" ”

"Do you dare to look at it, this old man likes to say things in front of his head!" Old man Xi glanced at the room of the ancestor of the Liu family, "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure." In the future, this flavor is Shunqi Dan, and your ancestor will configure it for the Taoist master. If there is any difficulty in your family, you can come to me, you should help, and the Taoist master will definitely help! ”

Liu Dongjia was overjoyed, with these words, his Liu family was equivalent to a great god standing behind him. Even in an instant, Liu Dongjia was already imagining the scene of the Liu family planting medicine in Nanjing and taking the lead.

Out of Liu's pharmacy, it was just noon, and the street market in Nanjing was very lively.

Bustling crowds, lively teahouses and restaurants, various shops, and many steaming food stalls on the streets.

"Steal half a day!" Old man Xi didn't ride a donkey, he walked around and said to Mao Xiang, "Since you came out, let's eat out at noon!" ”

"Okay!" Mao Xiao smiled, "Master, what do you want to eat!" ”

There is naturally no shortage of eating and drinking with Old Man Xi, and it is even better than the young master of ordinary people. But every day is tense, a little less youthful fun, listening to Xi Yingzhen say that he wants to eat out, Mao Xiang is very happy.

"The big restaurant is boring!" Old man Xi said with a smile, "It's a stall over there, let's go over and eat whatever we want!" ”

"Okay!"

So, the old man took Mao Xiang, just like a real grandson, and walked to a stall with the flow of people.

Selling duck blood soup, xiao long bao, all kinds of steamed cakes, and boiled noodles. Mutton soup, sticky rice, tofu flowers, you name it.

"Old man, what do you want to eat?"

As soon as he walked over, a clean woman in her early thirties stretched out her hand to greet her. The woman's mouth turned out to be a familiar Huaixi accent.

"I have freshly ground tofu brains, salty and sweet, you always take your grandchildren to taste it!"

Xi Yingzhen also smiled in Huaixi dialect, "Zhong, just taste it!" ”

"Oops, it's still a fellow!" The woman carefully wiped the low table and low stool on the stall, and turned around to work on the stall, "I am from Haozhou, where are you always in Huaixi?" ”

"I'm also from Haozhou!" Old man Xi said with a smile, "In the past, my Taoist temple was just west of Haozhou City!" ”

The woman was very neat, and two bowls of hot tofu brain were served, and the white tofu brain was packed in a large white bowl, which looked very clean.

"Hey, my mother's family lives in the west of the city, but it's really a fellow!" The woman smiled on the side, with the heartiness of a Huaixi woman, "Old man, these two bowls of tofu brains, I don't want your money, I will give you and my little grandson to drink!" ”

Old man Xi has never asked for anything in vain in his life, but at this moment he smiled and said, "Zhong, then you are welcome!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and scooped it into his mouth, and his mouth was suddenly full of fragrance. He has been home all over the world in his life, and the longest place he has stayed in is Haozhou.

A bowl of tofu brain, I faintly ate the taste of my hometown and the taste of my youth.

Looking at the various situations in the market around me, groups of descendants, men with children, and old men leading the younger generations, my heart is extremely comfortable at the same time, but also faintly sad.

"Hey, no wonder people used to say that people miss the old when they are old!" Old man Xi slowly ate the tofu brain, and said in his heart.

"It's delicious!" The woman was busy working in the stall, and said with a smile, "This is our Huaixi method, which is heavier than Nanjing!" ”

"What's your business?" Old man Xi asked with a smile.

"Very good!" The woman brushed her hair and kept her hands, "There are many Huaixi people in Nanjing City, especially the landlords in the barracks, when they are not on errands, they all like to come here to eat two bowls!" ”

While she was saying this, a little girl of six or seven years old came with great difficulty and carried a stack of clean bowls and placed them beside the woman's stall.

"Mother, I'm hungry!"

"Nier serves her own tofu, and this has sesame baked cakes!"

The poor man's child was in charge early, and the girl obediently filled half a bowl of tofu brain, took a piece of baked cake, and sat down next to the old man.

The winter in Nanjing is not warm, the girl's hands and face have a small red mouth, and after sitting down, she smiled at the old man Xi shyly.

"How old are you?" Old man Xi asked with a smile.

"I'm seven years old!" The girl is not timid, she answers when she asks, and there is a smile in her eyes.

The girl replied crisply, her voice was like a silver bell, and the wrinkles on Old Man Xi's face were stretched out when he heard it, and he liked it for no reason.

"It's better to find another girl to come over!"

Thinking of this, I looked at Mao Xiang next to me, but found that the kid was staring at the stall selling mutton soup in the distance, swallowing saliva.

Young people, you can't eat enough meat! What's more, the things on the side of the road carry a sweet smell of fireworks.

"Buy what you want, buy what you want!" Old man Xi said with a smile, "By the way, buy a bowl for this Xiaoni too!" ”

"Hey!" Mao Xiang ran out with a swoop.

"I don't!" The girl hurriedly waved her hand.

"Your mother gave me tofu brain, and I invited you to eat mutton....... Cough! Cough! As he spoke, he suddenly felt an itchy throat, covered his mouth and coughed.

Suddenly, a small hand slapped on the old man's back, gently and softly, while patting, he also helped to stroke his back, smooth.

"Grandpa, I'll change places with you! You sit on this tuyere! ”

The girl's innocent eyes and concerned tone warmed the old man's heart. I only felt caressing the little hand behind me, which was extremely warm. I was a little stunned for a while, and I couldn't speak.

"You have a cough and want to look for Lang Zhong!" The girl continued to pat the old man on the back, "My father used to cough, and he couldn't sleep at night. Later, my mother sold the house and found Lang Zhong to prescribe a lot of medicine? ”

"And then?" Old Man Xi continued to ask in a low voice.

"Then my father died!" A trace of grief flashed in the girl's eyes, and she forced a smile, "The doctor said that if my father had seen it earlier, he wouldn't have died!" ”

The girl's eyes made Old Man Xi feel a pain in his heart.

"Nier, come over here and help!"

While the two were talking, several guests came to the stall, and the woman was too busy to open it, so she said on the side.

"Here we go!" The girl took a bite of the baked cake and hurried over to do a favor, helping to fill the tofu brain and cut the side dishes.

A small child, skilled posture, is even more pitiful.

The old man drank the tofu brain slowly, and after a while, Mao Xiang bought a bunch of things and came back, lamb and bones, and sat on the table to feast.

"That.... Why did you come to Nanjing? ”

Waiting for the stall to have fewer customers, Old Man Xi hesitated and asked the woman.

The woman carefully washed the rag in the cold water, her hands were red, "I can't live a life, I can only come to Nanjing to find a way to live!" As he spoke, he said to the little girl, "Nier, go to dinner, it's cold!" ”

The little girl wiped her equally red hands on her gown, sat back on the table, and picked up the cold tofu brain.

"Eat this!" Old man Xi took the cold tofu brain aside, and gave a bowl of hot mutton soup and a roast cake with meat, "This is hot!" ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, didn't dare to pick up, and looked at her mother.

"This can't be helped!" Woman.

"What's the matter! Aren't we fellows? Old man Xi stuffed the pork pancake into the girl's hand, "You are so busy all day that you can't leave the ground, how many bowls of tofu brain money can you earn?" Look at me as your fellow countryman, and give me two bowls for nothing! I'll give your daughter something hot to eat, what's the point! ”

After speaking, Old Man Xi smiled at the girl, "Eat!" ”

On the side, Mao Xiang was stunned.

It was the first time he had seen such a pleasant old man.

"Thank you, grandpa!" When the girl saw her mother nodding, she smiled sweetly, and ate it in a big gulp, taking a bite of meat, and her eyes and eyebrows moved with laughter.

The woman also smiled at the stall and continued, "It turns out that in Haozhou, our life can still be lived. Later, King Guo occupied Haozhou, and he could stand up by gritting his teeth. But after that, King Guo and Zhu Xiaowang fought, and after the soldiers besieged Haozhou, life was really impossible! ”

The old man listened quietly, King Guo is Guo Zixing, and Zhu Xiaowang is Zhu Wu.

"When King Guo dies and King Dazhu becomes the governor, the life of Haozhou will be even more impossible." The woman sighed, "There is no food! The soldiers have no food to eat, let alone the common people!

Later, I heard that Zhu Xiaowang crossed the river to occupy Jinling, and many Huaixi blind dates who couldn't survive came here to beg for a living.

As soon as I gritted my teeth, I brought my daughter over. Huang Tian bless, my man taught me the craft of buying tofu when he was alive, so that our mother and daughter can stand here! ”

She said it easily, but in this world, how can it be so easy for a woman with a child. The grievances are probably only known to her.

"Has anyone bullied you?" Old man Xi looked at the sweetness of the girl's food and continued to ask.

"Angry!" When the guest came again, the woman went on to work, and said, "At the beginning, I set up a stall in the street, and those people bullied me? But our Huaixi women are not easy to bully! Guest, be careful of the burn! ”

When the woman was done, she continued, "Don't let me set up a stall, saying that the place is theirs. I was in a hurry at the time, pinching my waist and shouting on the street, Zhu Xiaowang and I are fellow villagers in Haozhou. He is the descendant of our Haozhou, if he is in Haozhou, he will call my eldest sister when he sees me. ”

"Huh!" The old man imagined that scene, and his wrinkles flew with laughter.

"In this way, they don't dare to bully me!"

"Yes, you have to have this energy!" Old man Xi said with a smile.

As he spoke, he glanced at the woman a few more times, and she might not be thirty years old, with a slender waist and thick hair, if she didn't have the wind and frost on her face, she would be dressed up.....

"What the hell do you want?"

Old man Xi scolded in his heart, hesitated for a while, and asked with a stumbling belly, "You, I didn't think about finding another one, I can't do it without a man in the family!" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red and she smiled awkwardly.

Meng Lang! The old man couldn't wait to give himself a mouth, and Pingshui met and asked people about this!

Suddenly I was ashamed and ashamed, and I wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. Reaching out and touching the girl's hair at the place where she was eating, she stood up and turned to leave.

"Master, wait for me!" Mao Xiang followed with lamb in his mouth.

"Did you give the money?" The old man turned around, and the woman was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, "Give more!" ”

"Hey!" Mao Xiao nodded, went back and took out a golden strip directly from his arms, and stuffed it into his wife's hand without saying anything.

"Hey, I said I don't want money.... Yikes! The woman saw the thing in her hand clearly, and exclaimed, her yellow eyes flashed, as if it were gold.

Carefully bit it with his teeth, it was gold.

"I can't ask for it!"

But when the woman looked up, there was still the figure of the old man and Mao Xiang.
