Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dujia Bazaar

Beizhao County is close at hand, Xu Si hesitated, looking at the lively Dujia Village hesitated, Du Jia was originally the county government of Beizhao County, every month five or ten to catch the big set, when the market is rushed, the hawkers of ten miles and eight townships come here to do business, selling cloth, selling cotton, selling incense, selling livestock, selling fruit groceries, selling pots and pans, selling medicine teeth, asking for food and playing monkey showers, selling their own children, small to trivial, big to cars, horses, cattle and sheep, the so-called department stores are everywhere, three and nine streams each lead the way, the world is all in it!

That big set from the east of the village along the river, through the county government through the whole Dujia Village, continuous miles, the scene is grand, the momentum is very, the most famous on the Dujia set is the Dujia sheep soup and noodle fish, the pure goat is killed and blooded and skinned and removed meat, only the skeleton of the white flower is left, it is said that a good butcher can completely remove the skeleton of a sheep without leaving a trace of meat star, and then put the sheep skeleton into the cauldron to boil, boil until the soup is thick with white juice, and then put in the half-cooked mutton, the boiled sheep is under the water, green onion coriander and peppercorn, and finally drizzle with rice vinegar, Simmer on a small fire, bring it to the table, suddenly the fragrance is overflowing and smell from far and near, put a few small jars on the table, there are refined salt peppers and other things in it, you can add it arbitrarily according to your own taste, eat the mouth to have a soft aroma, endless aftertaste, the meat is cooked just right, soft and refreshing, suitable for all ages, the key is that the price is cheap and young are not bullied. There are often old people who lead their little grandsons to spend a small amount of money to serve a bowl, and instead of forcing the shopkeeper to divide it into two parts, the shopkeeper is kind and does not care, and offers two large bowls to watch the grandparents and grandchildren eat in full swing and smile.

There is an oil pot next to the mutton soup shop, the golden peanut oil is tumbling in the pot, exuding an intoxicating aroma, the master of the fried noodle fish from the side of the big porcelain basin wakes up a large piece of dough with his hand, puts it on the oil table and pats it lightly with his hand, the noodle becomes a dough, two hands press it from the middle to both sides, the dough is pulled into a long piece of dough with a thick and uniform thickness, the index finger and the middle finger are gently scratched on the dough sheet, and the two sides are pinched with both hands and gently lifted up. A piece of thin and transparent dough sheet will tremble in the hand, swing it gently in the oil pan and then put it completely into the pot, not long after, it will stretch out and float on the oil surface, wait a little and then turn it over, and then stop it can be out of the pot, at this time the dough is fried and the body is blistered and the color is golden, like the golden carp fished out of the water, so it is called the noodle fish.

Bite in the mouth, crispy, soft, fragrant, crispy, full of flavor, and with the spicy and refreshing mutton soup, it is simply delicious in the world! Not to mention the locals, even Ye County, Longkou and even Dalian have come across the sea to admire the name, and it is really beautiful for a lifetime. But now that this place is occupied by the Japanese, although the food is still the same thing, it can't taste the original taste.

Xu Si smelled the fragrance wafting in the air and swallowed his saliva, rubbed his hands subconsciously, and walked towards the crowded side, and before he came to the front, he heard a burst of applause, but it turned out to be a monkey, a team of monkeys wearing clothes and looking like people were doing various postures to lead people to applaud loudly.

Xu Si didn't like this kind of trick on weekdays, he always felt too cruel, but today he couldn't help but walk over, he saw a person, to be exact, it should be two people, a child of about four or five years old riding on the neck of a man in black clothes and black pants dancing and giggling, the man was already burly, and then resisted a child to stand there, it really looked a little like a flock of cranes.

Xu Si had never seen these two people, but he had an inexplicable familiarity with the giggling child, whether it was Hao's eyes, nose and mouth, or the wide brain, there was an inexplicable familiarity, as if the child had just left yesterday and suddenly saw it today, with the intimacy between the child and the man in black, they should be father and son, so difficult to know the man in black? Xu Si is sure that he has no intersection with the people of Dujia Village, except for Du Liu before, and then he came to the market with his parents and brothers when he was a child, and Xu Si has never been here since the third sister-in-law remarried, to be precise, he has never crossed the Beishuikou in the north of Xujia Village, where it seems to have become a taboo.

Xu Si looked at the child and involuntarily leaned over, the child also noticed him, still giggling, but suddenly stretched out a pair of fleshy little hands to Xu Si, and shouted in his mouth: "Hug, hug......" "Okay, good!" Hug our Nen-six! ......" The man who resisted him said as he carefully lifted his hands from his neck, carefully hugged them to his chest, and asked happily: "Are you comfortable?" Hey, are you comfortable? What to see? As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Xu Sisi, both of whom were stunned.

This person Xu Si really didn't recognize it, his face was sharply angled, the lion nose was wide, and a pair of shining eyes under the two thick eyebrows, the eyes were blazing and shuddering, and when he saw Xu Si, he was first surprised, then angry, and then embarrassed, but slowly but peacefully.

"Rush to the market." The man said in a calm tone, "Hey! Xu Si responded in a panic, and just as he was about to walk away, the child stretched out his hand to him again, shouting "Hug." ”

The man smiled, and gently handed the child into Xu Si's arms, Xu Si didn't expect it, and he took it over in a panic and was just about to open the day, but saw the man gently scrape the child's face with his hand and scolded with a smile: "Fuck you little rabbit cub, I play with you all day long and feed you, you are not rare for me, when I see him, you are sticky, you really know who is far and who is close!" ”

Xu Si was a little awkward when he heard this, and just as he was about to speak, the man patted him on the shoulder with his hand and said, "Brother, it's not easy to come here, come and sit with me for a while." Saying that, he turned around and squeezed into the crowd, the child didn't chase him, and his eyes were attracted by the little monkey in the field, Xu Si called the man twice, but the man didn't pay attention to him, and walked straight forward, Xu Si had to hold the child and follow behind.

The man seemed to be very familiar with this realm, from time to time someone greeted him, and from time to time there were people who did business to send large bags and small bags, he did not refuse, smiled and put all in his hands, he really couldn't take it, so he pushed out "Look at you," he smiled and said, "Both hands are about to be pressed down, I really can't take it, it's not easy for you to make a deal, exchange it for two money!" ”

"How?" The person who delivered the things looked panicked, as if the man's confiscation was a terrible bad thing, and asked with a smiling face: "Or?" I'll let the guy send you home? ”

"Don't!" The man glared, "You spare me!" "Wait until next time?" A layer of sweat appeared on the buyer's head: "Next time, you must come to me first?" "Good!" The man readily agreed, "I will definitely come to you first next time." The trader smiled and nodded, walked back to the shop, and continued to buy and sell.

Where did this man come from? Xu Si followed the man with the child in his arms, and unconsciously arrived at the gate of the county ya, the gate of the county yamen was empty, and those traders automatically avoided this place out of an open space, behind the two stone lions with angry eyes was the majestic county ya, under the tall gatehouse was two heavy gates made of elm, the lower corner of the door was wrapped in brass, the huge copper nails were matched with the lacquered black translucent door shining with golden light, and there were two soldiers with loaded guns standing next to the tall threshold, but they were not Japanese soldiers, Instead, the Chinese soldiers in black uniforms walked through the open door, but there were no Japanese running around the courtyard naked.

The man walked to the gate of the county government and stood still, greeted him, and one of the two soldiers standing at the door immediately ran over and nodded, and said with a smile: "Starling, is there something?" The man handed him the things in his hand and said, "Take the things in, divide them, and tell everyone to stop causing trouble!" ”

"Hey!" The boss of the soldier's cracked mouth, "Don't worry, starling!" What can they do with you? Honestly very ....... The man waved his hand, and the soldier immediately ran back to the courtyard and shouted, as if a group of people poured out of the flat ground, and after a while, the thing was cleaned, and the soldier walked out of the door, took out a piece of flower cloth from his arms and handed it to another soldier on the side, the man quickly took it and put it into his arms, bent over to the man, and the man waved his hand to lead Xu Si to continue to walk forward
