Section 338 Encountering old acquaintances in a foreign land
The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty
"Let's go back, look around, maybe where to flee, there is always a direction, isn't it?"
Qin Haoming persuaded helplessly.
"Well, it's really not good, so you should take your brothers to practice once."
In order not to disappoint Qin Du, Haozi said with a reluctant smile.
Qin Haoming's mood suddenly became a little heavy, the northern part of the Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil for many years, the people have been displaced, and most of the families of the soldiers are fragmented, which is really worrying.
It seems that in the future, all the families of the soldiers will be moved to Fuzhou, which has not been through the war, and perhaps this is where he can do a little bit for the soldiers.
The sun is sinking in the west, and night is falling.
But for Fuzhou Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, the bustling and noisy day is only half over.
As soon as the lights came on, the whole city suddenly became hyper-excited.
With the opening of several adjacent night markets, the entire Fuzhou Prefecture has suddenly become the capital of never sleeping. Pedestrians and passengers rub shoulders one after another, revealing an incomparably prosperous atmosphere.
Standing on the noisy streets of Shanghang Road, Qin Haoming felt a little out of order.
In later generations, Fuzhou can be said to be his second hometown, and he knows everything here. Now, he deliberately walks along the prosperous area and feels the vicissitudes of life hundreds of years ago.
Things are people, and they don't have to do anything, and tears flow first.
Thinking of the situation when he was shopping with his family, for the first time, Qin Haoming felt a little stunned in his heart.
Suddenly, Qin Haoming's eyes saw a signboard with black and gold characters, which read Fuzhou Seven Star Fish Balls, and the long-lost memories suddenly came to his heart, diluting his sorrow.
"Li Xiang, don't be nervous, it's safe. Go over and buy some oyster cakes, and the Governor will invite you to eat the local delicacies today. ”
stabbed Li Xiang's waist with a fan, pointed to a grandmother's fried stall opposite, and mouthed him Nunu.
Qin Haoming took a bath and dressed as a rich boy with a jade fan in his hand. Li Xiang and Haozi guarded him tightly, and always glared angrily at those who approached him, and he was alive and well.
"You go, it's okay to have me."
Seeing that Li Xiang was a little hesitant, Haozi patted him on the shoulder, turned around and followed Qin Haoming into the fish ball shop on the right.
"Shopkeeper, here are six bowls of seven-star fish balls."
Stepping into the slightly narrow and crowded shop, Qin Haoming found an empty seat and sat down, and shouted loudly.
Such a small shop is usually a mom-and-pop shop, and no one has time to greet you.
In a corner of the desk, the man mashes eel, mackerel and other fish into a paste, mixes high-quality potato flour as the skin, and uses fine meat, shrimp and other fillings to knead into balls.
The in-laws take a funnel and soak the cooked soup stock with chopped green onions, float it on the soup noodles, and serve it to the guests in a sea bowl.
"Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, it tastes a little cold when it's cold."
The military man had a large belly, Li Xiang bought more than a dozen oyster cakes in one go, and Qin Haoming didn't raise his eyelids, and pushed the sea bowl to him.
Speaking of which, I don't know how long it has been since I have eaten such authentic fish balls.
It has the characteristics of white color, elastic texture, fragrant meat filling, refreshing taste, etc., and is well-known, and it is also Qin Haoming's favorite.
At present, due to the sea ban and transportation, it is not available in other places in the Ming Dynasty.
"Qin ...... Childe, why is it called Seven Star Fish Balls? ”
Haozi looked at a fish ball as white as jade, and couldn't figure it out, almost revealing Qin Haoming's identity.
"This is the period of Chengzu, there is a Guangdong people who went to Beijing to take the exam, entered the restaurant to eat, after eating fish balls, he was surprised, and his mouth occupied a poem:
A little starry cloth in the night sky, Yulu sweet tourists fans; Although there are thousands of autumn drinks in southern Xinjiang, it is rare to have seven stars and a spleen.
The shopkeeper framed the poem on the shop, and since then the diners have been overflowing, and the business has been booming, and the Seven Star Fish Ball is named after this poem.
Nowadays, there are fish ball shops everywhere in the streets and alleys of Fuzhou, and in addition to selling them, there are also people who walk the streets and alleys to pick up the sellers, and they beat small bowls with spoons to attract customers. ”
Seven fish balls are served in one bowl, and the rest are stock. Qin Haoming ate as he spoke, and picked up another bowl with his hand.
"Childe, there's a woman in the jade shop across the street who keeps looking at you."
Li Xiang Nunu mouthed and pointed in the direction with the head of his chopsticks.
Qin Haoming raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the entrance of the shop opposite, and saw a woman, dressed in a pale green shirt, with a moon-white mandarin duck belt tied around her waist.
With a fairy sideburn on his head and a pair of embroidered shoes, he looks graceful and beautiful. The face is slightly powdered, and it looks coquettish.
It's just that between the eyebrows, there seems to be a trace of misery.
Who is it if it's not Ye Shaomei?
Qin Haoming sighed suddenly in his heart, remained motionless and did not speak, burying his head in dealing with the fish balls and oyster cakes in the bowl.
After eating and running away, what should I do, I have nothing to do with it, and I don't have to be entangled and affect the reputation of others.
"Miss, he seems to have seen you, and he didn't come over to say hello, it was really ruthless and unrighteous to waste thousands of miles chasing you thousands of miles in vain."
In the Ye family's jade shop, the maid Xiaoyu looked at Miss Ye family worriedly, and sighed in her heart, how did such a good marriage come to this point.
"The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy. When you see, you see what you don't see. Seeing is still far away, and seeing is unreachable. ”
Crystal tears slowly slid down her delicate face, dripping on the ground and splashing into several petals, just like Miss Ye's broken heart.
The falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, and the flowing water ruthlessly loves the falling flowers.
Ye Shaomei closed her eyes slightly, tears welled up again between her eyelashes, and remorse and misery flashed on her pale face.
If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!
It's her own affection, if Brother Ming really has a heart, why should he beg his father to come to Fuzhou?
But...... However, I still want to fight for it. After all, there may never be a chance in the future to meet by such a coincidence, which shows that ...... It shows that they are still destined.
She opened her eyes, wiped away her tears, clenched her silver teeth, a flash of determination on her face, and raised her leg to cross the threshold of the storefront.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper in charge of the store hurriedly rushed to the second floor.
In the lobby on the second floor of the Ye family's jade shop, the candles are bright, surrounded by sandalwood, and the statue of Sanqing Daojun is hung in the south.
There is an altar and an incense burner underneath, and a faint sandalwood incense is pouring out of the bronze incense burner.
In the middle of the lobby, there is a white jade circle, covered with a thin brocade quilt, and the quilt is embroidered with a sun and moon Taiji.
A man in his fifties, dressed in a loose silk satin blue robe, with a slightly thin figure, was sitting upright on top of the round collapse, looking like a treasure elephant solemnly.
His eyes were slightly closed, and he was holding a silver pestle in his right hand, gently tapping on the silver pan in front of him.
This man who seems to be a fairy and a little haggard is none other than the head of the Ye family, Ye Shaomei's father, and Ye Chengzu, the same acquaintance of Jianning Mansion who thinks he has no last resort.
After opening his eyes and listening to the shopkeeper's report, Ye Chengzu sighed, waved his hand to let him go down, and then closed his eyes and said nothing.
I don't know what to do, I don't know how to schem, I can't be flexible, and I don't have the ability to make a living. In this troubled world, just a poor and sour talent, how can a father be willing to let my precious daughter marry and suffer in the past?
Take a look first, wait a minute.
The words of the past are now burning in my ears!
A trace of misery flashed on Ye Chengzu's face, and now he not only destroyed his daughter's lifelong happiness with his own hands, but also became the laughing stock of his political enemies.
Laughing at him, he didn't know people, and the dog's eyes looked at people low, thinking of this, the silver pestle in his hand knocked more and more tightly.
"If you meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, Mei'er is fine, how about I invite you to eat a bowl of fish balls?"
When Ye Shaomei stood in front of her with red eyes and soft and weak, the eyes of the diners in the restaurant were all on them, as if he was a negative man.
When Li Xiang and Haozi ran outside the store again, Qin Haoming could only say with a wry smile.
