1 Rush to the temple fair
On the bank of Gusu City, outside Hanshan Temple. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the blink of an eye, it is spring and March, the south of the Yangtze River has shown the color of peach and willow green, the grass and trees in the mountains and fields are green, and the look is lush and green, and the shade is gratifying. Just in time for a temple fair in Hanshan Temple for the Spring Festival, the red wall around the temple is already very bustling and lively, selling all kinds of gadgets and food vendors shouting, and the number of pilgrims has gradually increased.
Because it was still early, many pilgrims from afar did not go up the mountain, but only rested in the leeward area of Tiger Leaping Ditch at the foot of the mountain, and a small temporary market was naturally formed here.
Tiger Leaping Ditch south of Qixingzi Village, the village surnamed Zheng is familiar with the craft of wonton, a few days to see more and more guests on the mountain to burn incense, then pack up the dusty guy burden, pick up the Tiger Leaping Ditch before doing business.
A small cast-iron stove, two small ear pots, charcoal fire, fine meat, fragrant turnips, pepper, noodles, two greasy wooden tables and a few stools are the whole belongings of Daddy Zheng.
The wrapped wonton is poured into the boiling soup and quickly floats, emitting a burst of aroma, attracting guests who haven't had time to eat in the morning to come and feast on a bowl of wonton. A ragged young man was also attracted by the fragrance, ordered a large bowl of wonton with pepper noodles, stood in front of the stall and ate it cleanly, and at the end even drank the soup cleanly, then pulled out a stick from behind him, handed it to Father Zheng who was full of confusion, squatted on the ground with his head in his head and said angrily: "Check out." ”
Father Zheng had never seen such a shameless guest, so he said with a blank face: "You guest is so strange, what do you do when you don't give me money after eating my wonton, but give me a stick?" ”
The young man smiled and explained: "I don't have any money on me, so I ask you to beat me up to relieve my anger, hurry up, return the stick to me after the beating, I have to use it when I go to Aunt Li's to eat flax baked cakes!" ”
Daddy Zheng is a small business, and he can't make a few hard-earned money after a day's work, but he can still afford a bowl of wonton. Father Zheng had a good temperament and couldn't do anything to beat or scold people, but he just threw the stick aside angrily and glared at the young man fiercely.
Daddy Zheng's wonton stall is next to Aunt Li's baked cake stall, because today is the day of the temple fair, Aunt Li has already used a bamboo basket to carry the baked cakes to Hanshan Temple to sell, leaving only her daughter Qiaoniang to watch the business. Qiao Niang recognized that this young man was a dilapidated household who had been living in Qixingzi Village in recent days, and was called "Eat Dumb" by the villagers. During the day, he only helped to do some chores in the village, occasionally stealing chickens and dogs to go to the market to exchange some naan cakes and rice cakes to live, and temporarily dwelling in the ancestral hall at night for the night, because it was not very annoying, and he would say some pleasing auspicious words, and the people in the village would not drive him away. Daddy Zheng's family lives in the westernmost part of Qixingzi Village, and he rarely goes out, so he doesn't know how to eat yet.
Qiao Niang was born quite a little color, in Qili Eight Village is also a famous pretty girl, with the widow and the eldest brother to live, life is hard, it is inevitable to do some business things, at this time wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, a green silk wrapped in green cloth squares, in front of three bamboo baskets, respectively containing flax cakes, sheep fat naan cakes and sesame flatbread, is counting how many copper coins I made this morning, seeing that the daze angered Daddy Zheng, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the dadu over.
"You don't want to stay in the village, why did you come here to cheat and eat and drink, what if you deceived people from other villages and were beaten up?"
Qiao Niang looked at the mountain road, but there was no trace of Ah Niang, so she quietly stuffed a flax cake to eat. Eating stunned Qiao Niang smiled, took the flax cake and chewed it, and said indistinctly: "I'm not here to eat and drink, don't I rush to the temple fair today, usually take care of Sister Qiao'er, I took advantage of the crowd, found a few pennies in the left near the left, and also asked you to have a good meal, who called us the heroes of Zhi'en Tubao!" ”
The fluff on his lips had not faded, his body was thin, he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he had short shoulder-length hair that was not unpretentious, and he was tied back with a rag. Although he was dressed in tatters and his face was dirty, it was still difficult to hide his handsome face. It's just that although he is handsome, his eyes always exude a thief's light, which destroys the overall beauty of his facial features.
Qiao Niang pinched a handful of the dazed forearm, and at the same time stuffed a dried pork jerky to the daz: "A ranger who doesn't do his job all day long, I have to say what kind of hero I am, and I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue, you, you deserve to be hungry!" ”
Eat the dull stuffed the pork jerky into his mouth, savored the salty and sweet dried meat and slowly softened, and stretched out his hand to Qiao Niang: "If you have official money, lend me a few yuan, and I will pay you back ten times later." ”
Qiao Niang hesitated for a while, but still took out two Kaiyuan Tongbao from her waist and handed them to her palm: "There are only so many, if I give you more, I will be scolded to death by A-Niang, what do you want money for?" ”
Eating the copper coin in his hand, he strode towards the mountain, and said without replying: "Don't ask, wait for the interest to be collected!" ”
Eating and mingling, in a tofu shop on the side of the road for more than an hour, when he came out, there was a small package on his body, half of the copper money was spent, and the remaining Kaiyuan Tongbao bought a fire fold, a bundle of dry firewood, and a cloth banner carried by a bamboo pole, and begged a gentleman who wrote a letter on the cloth banner to write "Zhu Rong descended into the world" four big characters. Carrying the package and carrying the bamboo flag, he chose a clean place not far from the gate of Hanshan Temple, squatted on the side of the road and shouted in his voice: "Sell the clothes of the gods, sell the clothes worn by the gods!" From the south to the north, don't miss it when you pass by, clear the warehouse and jump off the building with tears, and there is no store in this village! It's two dollars for everything you buy...... Damn, how did this sentence slip out! ”
There are really many good deeds who are greedy for freshness, and they are attracted by the sound of stupid selling, and they are talking about the stalls that are stupid: "Where are the clothes worn by the gods?" Take it out and give us a long insight! ”
Eating and grinning, he unwrapped the package, revealing a big red dress inside. This dress is the coarse cloth folded short gown that women often wear, dirty and torn, the hem has been worn to white edges, the collar and cuffs are gone, and no one picks it up when it is thrown on the side of the road, but at this time it is sold as a dress worn by the gods, and the onlookers immediately burst into laughter.
"I don't think this kid has something wrong with his brain, where is this god clothes, it's clearly the little clothes that Widow Zhang of the Tofu Fang wore when she was at home, you smell it, there is a beany smell on it!"
"It's not, even such a tattered piece dares to be sold as a god clothes, I think this kid is poor and crazy...... Hey, how do you know what Widow Zhang is wearing at home, could it be that you two have one leg? ”
"Fart! Lao Tzu just happened to see it when he was passing by, yesterday when the third watch, I saw you sneakily slipped out of the back door of Widow Zhang's house, I see that your kid is clearly a thief shouting to catch a thief! ”
The two onlookers quarreled with each other, rolled up their arms and sleeves, stared at each other, and saw that a full martial arts show was about to be staged, so they hurriedly ran out and stopped between the two to make peace: "Two big brothers, I sell things here, you can buy it, don't delay my business." As the so-called road is uneven, I don't have a girlfriend yet, I'm just going to make some money and marry a few more losers' daughters-in-law, please don't make any more trouble? ”
