213 Sanniang Huoyan visits the night market

There is a night market on the eastern, western, southern, northern, and middle five streets of the Daimyo's Mansion. Because the weather is getting warmer, the night market is also lively. The night market existed before Hu Sanniang became the prefect, but at that time, because of the high fees and chaotic management, it was not in a recession. After Hu Sanniang came to power, he reduced taxes, increased management, and became popular, but the total tax revenue increased.

Hu Sanniang's favorite thing to visit is the night market in Zhongjie, which is close, the most complete and popular. During the day, he was busy with official business and had no time for recreation. After dinner, I put on casual clothes, went out for a walk, and came to the night market after a while.

The night market in Middle Street is about 20 meters wide and 300 meters long, and it is transparent from north to south. Lanterns hang on the poles on the east and west sides, about 5 meters each, and 120 lanterns illuminate the night market as if it were daytime. An 80-year-old lady can also thread a needle under the light.

Sell almost everything. To sum up, it is only five words: eating, drinking, playing, watching, and using.

There are many things to eat, and cooked foods include: fried peanuts, roasted potatoes, and Dongpo meat with hemp curd chicken skin......

There are also a lot of things to drink: rock sugar water, sour plum soup, Tieguanyin tea and soy milk......

The things to play are: big iron hoops, tangrams, smooth peach pit nine rings......

The things to see are: Tang Legend, Song Script, Zhang Zeduan's villain, Zhao Ji's thin gold body......

Things used: embroidery needles, ear pickers, itchy old man's crutches......

Hu Sanniang watched while walking, and occasionally bought a little something. She quietly followed Lin Siniang behind her, keeping a certain distance, and rushed forward in case something happened. After visiting the night market five or six times, nothing happened, and Hu Sanniang laughed at her for being a fart.

Lin Siniang smiled and said: "Worms are stronger than farts." Insects don't stink, farts stink! ”

Hu Sanniang sneered at each other: "There is a kind of insect called a fart worm, which stinks worse than a fart." ”

"The fart worm didn't stink originally, but you farted and smoked it."

"Don't talk about it, let's all be a fart and a worm."

The two talked and laughed, and went to the night market again. The two women were very curious about what they saw, and every time they shopped, they would buy back a bunch of useless things and give them away. This time, they made an appointment, and each person only brought two taels of silver, and they couldn't buy as many things as they wanted.

The more night it gets, the brighter Hu Sanniang's eyes become, and Lin Siniang calls her Sun Wukong - fiery eyes. Lin Siniang's eyes are also very sharp and her heart is more detailed, so the two of them have bought things many times and have never been fooled.

They didn't wear official uniforms, there was no TV to show their faces at that time, and it was night, and no one recognized who they were. I just think it's the daughter-in-law and maid of a big family, who came out to visit the night market.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the atmosphere was relatively civilized, and married women were not unable to leave the door. It's just that in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi's group of physicists shouted loudly: "Starving to death is small, but losing the festival is big!" Gradually, the women froze and erected the archway of chastity.

Emperor Zhao Ji is a very open person, otherwise he would not have soaked in Master Li. At that time, although the women were not all Pan Jinlian, there were still many women who dared to love and hate. Therefore, it is not only the right of men to visit the night market, but also to women. For example, the famous female lyricist Li Qingzhao (I will write about her later) often goes to the market to buy things, and of course also to the night market.

Hu Sanniang stopped at a place selling calligraphy and paintings. A man in his forties showed a picture of Zhengda, which immediately attracted her attention.

The man shouted: "The "Thousand Character Text" written by Master Cai is really rare to see, a thousand words only cost 50 taels of silver, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world!" Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai Si are all golden! Whoever buys and picks up the leak will eat meat for the rest of his life! ”

Hu Sanniang's eyes lit up, she didn't like Cai Jing's personality, but she liked his words. In the palace, she has seen Cai Jing's words many times and is more familiar. Cai Jing always scolded her at that time, and wrote two words for her.

"Is this Taishi Cai's handwriting?" An old man asked with a stick.

"It's definitely Taishi Cai's words, don't want a fake tael of silver, I'll give you 10 taels of silver." The man said loudly.

"Taishi Cai's words are a thousand words, how can you get his words?"

"It's a coincidence. One of my aunts has been making steamed buns in Cai's house for more than ten years, and when she left, Mrs. Cai gave her "Thousand Character Text". If it weren't for my aunt's illness, I wouldn't have sold it. Even if you sell it, you won't sell it so cheaply! ”

Hu Sanniang looked left and right and felt that it was true. I wanted to buy it, and when I opened my pocket, there was only one or two pieces of silver in it.

"I'll buy it, can you wait for me for a while. There was not enough money, so I sent back to fetch it. Hu Sanniang stepped forward and said.

"It depends on how long you wait. After a long time, if someone buys it, I will sell it. The man said.

Lin Siniang understood and ran back to get the silver. The old man looked at it again, asked the entourage to take out 50 taels of silver, and said with a smile: "I'll pay the silver first, and this "Thousand Character Text" belongs to me." ”

Hu Sanniang was very anxious, and there was no way, she couldn't stop people from buying and selling. She bought this word for another meaning, because her brother was about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday and wanted to give it to him as a birthday gift. Hu Cheng likes calligraphy and painting very much, and there is nothing he doesn't like about the characters of Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai.

When Lin Siniang came back, the cucumbers and vegetables were cold. The old man had already bought the calligraphy, so he could only sigh, complaining that he had not brought enough silver, and the opportunity to pick up the missing calligraphy and painting was fleeting.

Hu Sanniang walked forward abruptly, felt thirsty, and bought a bowl of sour plum soup to drink, especially to quench her thirst. When I came to a place that sold small toys, I stopped. Those things are all carved from jade, and although the material is average, the carving skills are not bad.

Sanniang picked up a jade dog and asked, "How much is this?" ”

The seller was a family of two, both in their thirties, and the woman said, "Three for one tael of silver, one and a half taels of silver." ”

"Your material is very ordinary, why is it so expensive?"

"The material is average, but the effort is not less, and half a tael of silver is still worth it." The man said.

"Why is this dog's tongue so long?"

"I'm carving a dog dog, it's so hot, stretch out your tongue and pant!"

In a word, Hu Sanniang was amused. He took out the money and bought one. suddenly remembered that Zhao Ji was also a dog, so he bought two.

"You can pick three for one or two pieces of silver." The woman reminded.

"There's no good, just two." Hu Sanniang picked for a long time, as long as these two carvers were good.

"You let me open the show, I can pick another little animal." The man said generously.

Hu Sanniang picked it up again.

"Master, the nine-song golden dragon snake you carved is lost." The woman screamed.

"It must have been stolen by that little rabbit just now." The man jumps over the stall and goes after a child.
