Chapter 130: Side Dishes
If you go north from Guangzhou, if you take the land route, the road to the mountains is of course extremely slow, so most people take the sea route.
I got on the ship from Guangzhou, went all the way north along the coastline, and landed in Henan and Jiangbei provinces in less than half a month, which was three times faster than taking the land route.
From the seaside to Mount Tai, with the footsteps of the four of them, it is only a matter of three or five.
Whether it is the customs or the climate of the mountains and rivers, the north is completely different from Lingnan.
The mountains and rivers that can be seen everywhere in Guilin have become less and less common since they came to the north, but there are more flat land. In particular, the snow that has not melted makes the land dappled, but it is a unique scenery.
Of course, the qi is much colder than Lingnan, and it is already spring, but it still freezes people to shiver, making the four of them regret wearing less clothes.
The four are not including Gong Qianbai, who has been invading the cold and heat since he practiced the Vermilion Bird Burning Technique; And after practicing the Mixed Yuan Sutra, not only did the cold and heat not invade, but he also became an ectothermic animal, the temperature of his body was hot when he wanted to be hot, and he was cold when he wanted to be cold, how could he be helpless by the spring cold.
Gong Qianbai put away the map and pointed ahead:
"This is Yidu Road, and there is Yidu City in front of it, let's go and have a look, buy you some clothes, and eat something by the way!"
The four people looked forward along Gong Qianbai's fingers, and sure enough, they saw the outline of the city in front of them, so they urged Gong Qianbai to hurry up one by one
Yidu City is a big city, not only has a large population, but also has extremely developed commerce, and since the five people entered the city gate, they found that their eyes were not enough.
Inn restaurant, Goolan tile shop, tea shed casino...... But for all daily needs, this city should have all the cherry blossoms
Garment stores are not uncommon in clusters, and there is another one on the second street corner, Kang Jian took the lead and ignored the drilling, and the others also gave up their reserve when they saw this, and followed all the way into the mausoleum.
However, just as they entered the mausoleum gate, a loud voice sounded in the store, and at the same time, a wall of flesh flashed in front of everyone:
"Alas, alas! Where did a group of people called Hanako come from, this is a place to sell clothes, but it's not a place to ask for food, hurry up and get out of here! ”
Everyone was very surprised when they saw the clothes seller at the beginning, but when they saw her bitterness and meanness, they were very unhappy in their hearts.
There are 5 of them, all of them are at the level of the young master of the sect, which one has a low status?
Especially health.
What kind of person is Kang Jian, he has always ridiculed others, where can he bear others to take advantage of him in his mouth!
"My fat woman, what kind of eyes do you have? If you have money, where do you look like a flower child? ”
After stretching out his palm to Gong Qianbai, Gong Qianbai shook his head and took out a gold ingot speechlessly, which was as much as 50 taels.
Kang Jian continued to say angrily: "I see that there is no fat woman, this is real gold!" Are you like people who don't have money? ”
The fat round proprietress immediately smiled when she saw the top of gold, and even the boss hiding behind the counter nodded and came forward to receive 5 people.
"Five sons, how offended just now! Don't take it to heart, we have good clothes in our store, you can choose them at will! ”
Kang Jian brushed back the gold, and the Shaoling family and his wife rolled their eyes: "Master, I don't want to buy it from you yet, let's go, let's go somewhere else!" ”
After taking the four people, they walked outside the store, leaving only the stunned store couple.
The five of them walked out of the store and looked up to see another ready-to-wear store across the street, so they rushed into that store again.
This shop is obviously not as generous as the one just now, and if you look closely, you will even feel shabby, but the corners and corners are quite clean. There were only two people in the shop, one was a middle-aged woman in her thirties and forties, and the other was a girl in her eighties and nineties. The two look very similar, although they are not beauties, but at least they look delicate and attractive, they should be mother and daughter.
Seeing the five people entering the mausoleum, the girl immediately limped to the door to greet her, and a sweet and gentle voice came out of her mouth: "Ladies and gentlemen, what clothes do you want, just go inside and see, my mother's craftsmanship is very good, I guarantee that you are satisfied!" ”
While leaving, he went to the back and took five bowls, poured out five bowls of freshly boiled water, and handed them to the five people: "Look at your clothes are a little thin, don't get sick if it's cold." Come! Let's warm up with a bowl of water first! ”
All five of them took the tea bowl and thanked the girl for her kindness, but also glanced at each other and expressed regret for what happened to the girl.
They are almost the same age as the girl, and they should be carefree at an age, and the girl not only has a disability in both legs, but also has to endure the disability to entertain guests, how unfair the world is!
The girl's mother had a lot of work to do in front of her, and she didn't care about the five of them, so she just said hello tired and kindly, and continued to bury herself in making clothes.
"Girl, what's your name? How old is this year? ”
Chen Yuyan asked, holding the bowl in one hand and the girl's arm in the other.
Even though they are all the same age, the girl is still a little shy, but it can be seen that she is also very optimistic: "My name is Cai, that is, wild wood, and I am 10 years old this year." ”
Chen Yuyan asked again: "Has this store been maintained by you and your mother all the time?" ”
"Yes! We have been here for more than two years, and my mother's craftsmanship is really good, although she is tired, but after paying the rent, she can support herself and save some money. ”
Chen Yuyan was stunned: "Are you and your mother the only ones in your family?" Where's your dad? ”
The girl's eyes were red, and she stopped talking.
Chen Yuyan realized that he had asked the wrong question, and immediately apologized:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else, just a casual chat, I didn't expect to remind you of something sad......"
The girl immediately shook her head: "It's okay, my father just rubbed a Mongolian carriage on the street, and they killed him......"
"Dish!"
Cai's mother hurriedly stood up, interrupted Cai's words, and apologized to the five people: "I'm sorry for the guests, the dishes are still very good, and I haven't seen the world, I am talking nonsense, you must not take it seriously!" ”
Gong Qianbai glanced at the dishes, and when she saw her stubbornly biting her lip, she knew that she was real, and there was injustice in her heart.
He took out the ingot of gold from Kang Jian's bosom:
"Aunt Cai, you don't have to be afraid, we shouldn't have heard. It's 50 taels of gold, we need to buy 5 sets of clothes, and we don't have to look for the rest, just help us buy some food, let's eat a little here and rest for the night! ”
Finish stuffing the gold in her hand.
Aunt Cai was startled, and with a shake of her hands, the gold fell to the ground, and she whispered tremblingly: "This can't be done!" Put it away quickly, but don't let outsiders see it......"
