The weather is getting warmer, and the river has long since been open to boats, but the occasional ice ballast still reminds people that winter is just over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the spring breeze is still steep, a faint goose yellow has begun to appear on the willow trees by the river, which makes people who come out with hope not to be too disappointed.

It is now the end of February, and Dabi's preparations are basically in place, so Qin Lei put aside the work at hand and came out to breathe, anyway, there are three people over there, Koji Yanwu, Kong Jingde, and Li Guangyuan are staring, and there is no big thing to do.

went home and changed into civilian clothes, and called Sister Ruolan, who had been looking forward to it for a long time. At this time, the snow is beginning to melt, the green and yellow are not connected, and there is a black, white, and yellow everywhere, which is the most ugly time of the year. The two of them didn't go far, and walked along the Xiaoqing River when they left the house, so they could still see a boat coming and going.

Ruolan is wearing a bright green flowered skirt today, with a simple hanging bun on her head, but her youth and brightness are just right to set off, obviously this dress is not as random as it seems.

She didn't care about the lack of scenery around her, and even hummed softly with happiness on her face, her delicate and moving appearance was several times more beautiful than the scenery around her, which attracted the attention of the sailors on the ship. If it weren't for the sight of the wolf-like black-clad guards in front and behind, the sailors would have whistled everywhere.

Ruolan also found that those sailors were looking at her, so she quickly stopped, stood beside Qin Lei with low eyebrows, and whispered: "The slave didn't mean it, don't be angry." ”

Qin Lei smiled indifferently and said softly, "If they turn a blind eye, I will be really angry." Ruolan was reluctant for a while, although she knew that His Highness was not angry, but she resolutely did not take a walk by the river.

Qin Lei took her south to the Iron Lion Street, where the atmosphere of the countryside was the heaviest. Before he reached the ground, he saw a sea of people in front of him, and Qin Lei said strangely: "I have never seen so many people in the past. ”

Ruolan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Master, don't you know, today, February 26, is the day of the South Market Grand Gathering. Qin Lei's eyes widened and said, "Yes, is there anything else I don't know?" As he spoke, he grabbed Ruolan's boneless little hand, and said nervously: "There are so many people, don't get lost." "At this time, Cheng Zhu Lixue, who has not exterminated humanity, is not too heavy on the defense of men and women.

Ruolan's little face turned red suddenly, and she weakly twitched her hand a few times, and found that she was clenched tightly, so she let him hold it and squeeze into the crowd with peace of mind, and walked around with great interest.

Iron Lion Street is a place for the people of Zhongdu to buy and sell things on weekdays, and now it is a big gathering, and the flow of people has doubled. As soon as there are many people, many juggling, folk crafts, snacks and delicacies, etc., which are rarely seen, have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, making the two young men and women who have lived in the deep palace compound for a long time dizzy, and they hate their father and mother for missing two eyes.

Buy two strings of crystal clear sugar gourds, hold a handful of crispy and delicious fried hazelnuts, and the two of them eat and walk, watching while walking. Seeing that there were a large number of people in front of them, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then squeezed in like joy, only to see that there was a table in the middle of the field, and there was an iron box on the table, and a middle-aged man with a bird on the table...... Well, to be precise, it should be a middle-aged man with a small bird on his arm.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the purple-feathered bird, and they only heard the man hiss, "Ladies and gentlemen, this little bird can take the big money out of your hands and put it in this iron box." ”

The onlookers laughed and said, "If you really want to be so godly, you still come out to sell your art, release your birds, and let him get money from home?" ”

saw that the man said with a disdainful face: "Isn't that a stealing chicken and a dog?" Although I am a bitter one, I am not rare with those dirty money. Saying that, he cleared his throat and sang: "Born a father and mother, go out to help friends, you uncles watch a paragraph, if it becomes a reward for you!" ”

After singing a paragraph, the man bowed and said, "Who of you uncles is willing to take a Zhaowu money out and try it." "The people looked at the iron box with the lid on it, and said, 'What is this thing that a bird can open on top?' If it can really be opened, it can be regarded as a scene, isn't it just a lot of money? Many people took out one or more copper coins from their sleeves and laughed, "You may help, or we will pluck your bird feathers." ”

The man with the bird laughed and said, "Medium! With a flick of his shoulder, the purple bird spread its wings and flew out, and lightly took the money away from one person's hand. The bird turned around and opened the tin box with the top of the bird's head, and put the coin into the box, all in one go. In the blink of an eye, it flew back to the man's shoulder.

The man with the bird stretched out a bird food the size of a mung bean in his hand, and the bird pecked at it, flew out and took a copper coin back and put it in the iron box, and then went to the master to receive a reward. Everyone was dumbfounded, and for a while they just looked at the little bird, and after a while, they were pecked by the little bird with more than a dozen copper coins.

At this time, the little bird was also full, and the man put it on his shoulder, and said to everyone, "Thank you for your food, clothing, and parents!" It turned out to be closed, and everyone was amazed for a while, and then gradually dispersed.

Qin Lei stayed with Ruolan and asked the man who was cleaning up the stall, "There are so many big money confiscated just now, why are you in a hurry to close the stall?" ”

The man smiled and said, "My bird is full." ”

Qin Lei smiled: "I don't think your bird is unusual, it's just that the training method is appropriate, why don't you raise two more and charge more copper coins?" ”

The man shook his head vigorously and said, "My father said, a bird, death rules!" There are too many birds, and I have nothing to eat. ”

Although this man was confused, Qin Lei understood, nodded and praised: "Yes, if there are too many birds, you will take away dozens of hundreds of dollars from others at one time, who will play with you for the second time?" With a snap of his fingers, a piece of broken silver fell into the man's hand, only to hear Qin Lei laugh and say, "I didn't make any money, now make up for it,"

Before the man could react, Qin Lei had already dragged Ruolan to the next place.

The two of them spun around for a moment, then stopped by an old man who was focused on tinkering with gadgets. I saw that the old man brought a few thin grasses in his hand, and folded and twisted them lightly, or turned into a dragonfly with wings ready to fly, or into a fearless praying mantis, or into a leaping frog, or into a green shrimp playing in the water, the straw dragon was mighty, and the grasshopper was vivid.

The stall next to the old man was a young man who blew candy, and I saw the young man rubbing the syrup the size of a pigeon's egg in his hand and pulling out one and putting it in his mouth. Blowing in his mouth, moving his hands, and in less than twenty breaths, a rooster with his head held high jumped in his hand. In addition, those who cut their heads, those who kneaded dough, those who made silk people, those who carved zodiacs, and those who painted kites each had their own unique skills.

Seeing Ruolan's eyes straightened, Qin Lei laughed and said, "I bought it, I bought it, I sold it all." "Shi Dang hurriedly came up and worked as a coolie.

The three of them came to the old man who was weaving grass first, and when the old man heard that the other party wanted to wrap the round, he asked with some disbelief: "You mean that there are more than a dozen of them on the table?" It's very expensive to buy. ”

Qin Lei said helplessly in his heart: 'Don't I seem to be able to afford it?' The casual guy asked stupidly, "Is it cheaper to buy it alone?" ”

Unexpectedly, the old man actually nodded and said, "Yes, a gadget is three cents, this one is fifteen in total, and you have to give sixty cents." ”

Qin Lei was dumbfounded and said: "Wait, wait, I was not good at arithmetic when I was a child...... "Sixty Wen buys fifteen, one is ......"

"Four pennies." The old man really thought that he would not know how to settle accounts, and replied very seriously.

Qin Lei stretched out three fingers with one hand, and four fingers with the other, and gestured in front of the old man: "One buys three cents, but I buy more but I ask for four cents, not only do you not have a discount, but you also have to increase the price...... "Said confusedly: "Do you have such a deal?" ”

The old man also opened his eyes wide, and said with a natural face: "If you buy more, others won't be able to buy it, and if I want others to buy it, I will have to contribute, so you have to give more money." ”

Qin Lei scratched his head, he couldn't understand the truth, and it took a long time before he said, "Isn't it good to work hard and earn more money?" ”

"Tired! Tired of doing more. The old man said very seriously: "I usually make a hundred." ”

Qin Lei felt that he had met a real philosopher, and said to Ruolan on the side: "Wipe my sweat for me." Ruolan hurriedly took out a champa, carefully wiped the white sweat on Qin Lei's forehead, and said softly: "Master, don't think about it if you don't understand." ”

Qin Lei shook his head resolutely, and said to the old man in a deep voice: "You can still make a hundred today, and you can also close the stall early," he glanced at the old man with some uncertainty, and asked weakly, "Right......"

The onlookers were all children, they didn't care what kind of silk and satin Qin Lei was wearing, they scratched their faces and shouted: "No shame, no shame, no shame, no shame, no money, you have to be generous......

Qin Lei glared at a group of little kids, grinning his teeth and said, "Who said that Lao Tzu has no money, I just want to ask!" ”

The children were not afraid of him at all, and when they heard the words, they said, "Then you should hurry up, we still have to buy it." ”

This is, the old man smiled at Qin Lei and said, "You also heard it, they also want to buy it, so if you buy more, I will do more to make up for the children." ”

Qin Lei finally cleared up the matter, held down the desk and said seriously: "I summarized it, you can see if what you said is right," the old man swallowed and foamed, and said in his heart: "This person is too serious." ’

I only heard Qin Lei Mo stunned and said: "You are afraid of hard work, so you don't want to do more straw weaving," the old man nodded, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't scare me, I just don't increase the price." "I was actually frightened by Qin Lei's appearance.

saw Qin Lei wave his hand violently and said, "Don't interrupt!" The old man was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth, and listened to him continue to murmur, "But you don't want to disappoint the children, so you have to do more, don't you?" ”

The old man nodded in fear, and said in his heart: "How did you meet such a second fool?" ’

Qin Lei then slapped his palms and smiled: "So I have to buy more and pay more, reasonable, reasonable......" snapped his fingers, and a piece of broken silver fell into the palm of the old man's palm, the old man checked it, and handed it back to Qin Lei and said: "This is two coins of silver, I can't find it." "Two coins is two hundred money, I want to find one hundred and forty for Qin Lei, it is still early at this time, and the old man has not been open for a long time, so naturally there is no money for Qin Lei.

Qin Lei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sixty cursive money, one hundred and forty consulting fees, no need to look for it." After saying that, he left the stall, and his own black-clothed guard cleaned up the straw.

Without taking two steps, Qin Lei thought about it again and muttered, "No, if it weren't for me, would he be able to sell fifteen more?" Why should I pay? "The fierce conflict between the two values in the mind of His Royal Highness the King of Longwei County is about to torture him stupidly.

Ruolan looked at the prince worriedly, pulled his shirt and said, "Master." Let's go. "I can't look at the prince Shinto, so I have to leave here quickly.

Qin Lei nodded, but said in his mouth: "I'll ask one more person to see if I'm funny or if they're stupid." As he spoke, he went to the side of the candy man and said, "How much is a candy man?" ”

"Five cents, big official." The candy blower knew that the big customer was coming, and he smiled like a shrimp crawler.

Qin Lei rolled his eyes and said in his heart: 'How do you speak? I'm worth five cents, huh? Fortunately, he was not interested in engaging in these verbal arguments, and then asked, "What if I buy you two?" ”

The candy man smiled: "I'll give you a cheaper, Bawen will be fine." ”

It seems that there is normality, and this man will be rewarded heavily. Qin Lei said with relief: "You don't have to be cheap, bring me forty." As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Kang threw a piece of broken silver of two coins into the hands of the candy blower. He doesn't want others to feel charity, and even if he wants to give others benefits, he has to go through this kind of exchange.

The candy blower also weighed the weight of silver. Qin Lei was waiting for him to thank him, but when he saw that he also handed the silver back, he looked embarrassed: "You only have two coins of silver, it's not enough." ”

Qin Lei almost didn't fall to the ground, holding Shi Kang's shoulder, and shouted like fried beans: "A sugar man is five Wen, and forty sugar people are not two hundred Wen?" ”

The candy blower said calmly: "You can't count it like that...... If you buy more, it will be more expensive. ”

Qin Lei gritted his teeth and said, "You just said that you want a discount...... There was some resentment in his tone.

The candy blower said with an innocent face: "If you buy less, you can get a discount, but if you buy more, you must increase the price." ”

'Mmmmmm...... Qin Lei almost turned his back on his breath, and said with a blank face: "Why?" ”

The candy man said seriously: "You can also see that this sugar man is blowing hard." If you want three or five, it's okay, I'll blow it to you immediately, and I can also give you a discount. But if there are more, let's say forty, not to mention the pain in my cheeks, I will feel very ...... Tedious. Saying that, he smiled at Qin Lei and said, "So you have to give more, otherwise I won't be happy to do it." ”

When Qin Lei heard this, it was also the reason, but he felt that his brain was already a mess, and he waved his hand to let Shi Dang send someone to deal with the aftermath, and he left the market with Ruolan. When the voice was a little quieter, Ruolan asked timidly, "Master, are you okay?" ”

Qin Lei scratched his head and grinned: "I'm fine, very good, I've never been so good." Ruolan said in her heart: 'It seems that she is still stunned.' Just about to speak, he felt that his little hand was tightly grasped by the prince, and he muttered: "I am very fortunate to be born in the princely family." If you were in the market and township from the beginning, I am afraid that it would be very miserable. ”

Ruolan said in disbelief: "You are so capable, you are good everywhere." ”

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Originally, I thought the same way, but today I found out that my way of thinking is so different from that of ordinary people...... Their simple values and serious attitude to life make me feel ashamed......"

Ruolan didn't understand what he was saying, but she was even more sure that he was a little abnormal today, tugged on Qin Lei's sleeve, and whispered: "Master, it's not early, it's time to go back to the house for dinner." ”

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "It's hard to come out today, let's eat outside, although it is not as exquisite as the house, it also has a unique taste." Pointing to a three-story restaurant in front of him, he said: "There is a 'champion building', lion's head, steamed pork, sweet and sour fish, all of which are very authentic." "If Lan wishes to stay outside with him a little longer, he will not be allowed.

The two entered the store, went straight up to the third floor, picked a seat near the window, and did not order after sitting down, and said to Xiao Er: "Just take care of the best dishes!" Xiao Ermei opened his eyes and smiled: "Okay...... Table A on the third floor, the signature dishes in the store are on the list, and you always drink tea later, and soon come. With that, he pedaled and ran downstairs.

After walking for a long time, the two of them were also a little tired, drinking tea and talking in a whisper. As soon as Qin Lei looked up, he saw a familiar back sitting in the corner, and couldn't help laughing: "Why is Brother Xin drinking alone?" ”
