Chapter 875: Profiteers
When Lu Xiu and Lu Wei knew that Lu Chengqi was going to take them out of the palace to play, they almost didn't jump three feet high. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, children are all the same, they all want their parents to play with them. It's just that Lu Chengqi is busy with government affairs on weekdays, where does he have time to accompany them crazy? Not to mention going out of the palace to play, these are all "dragon sons and dragon grandchildren", and if you hurt one, I am afraid that someone will want to fall to the ground.
But this time it was different, it was the emperor's will, even the head of the imperial guard, Wang Yanchen, did not dare to slack off, even if Lu Chengqi did not let them guard closely, but they still organized people to hang from afar, afraid that in case of a mistake.
Lu Chengqi and Han Feng'er, with the lively Lu Xiu and Lu Wei, had a faint smile on their lips. Only Lu Houxu, as the eldest brother, is as calm as a little adult. It's not that he's unhappy, it's not that he doesn't like to jump, it's just that there's a kind of reserve that can't let go.
A group of five people, changed into the clothes of ordinary people, from Gongchen Gate to Yanfu Palace, and then from the side gate of Yanfu Palace to Chang'an Avenue. And Wang Yanchen with a few plainclothes imperial guards, hanging behind inconspicuously, quietly flashed into Yanfu Palace, protecting these five people from afar.
Maybe the child can't feel it, as soon as Lu Chengqi came out of the side door of Yanfu Palace, he felt the breath of a stock market well rushing to his face, which seemed to contain infinite vitality.
That's the beauty of the bazaar.
Even if a person who wants to commit suicide goes to the vegetable market and watches the scene of people coming and going, the heart of suicide will become extremely light.
After staying in the palace for a long time, I feel that this vibrant scene is extremely rare. Separated by a wall, there is a bustling market outside, and a light royal palace inside. Lu Chengqi couldn't help but be a little envious of these ordinary people, and their faces were all filled with happy smiles.
Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing.
Only in the peaceful years will the people have such a look, right?
Before Lu Chengqi could sigh anything, he was interrupted by Lu Xiu's voice: "Daddy, I want to buy this!" ”
It turned out that there was a street outside the side gate of Yanfu Palace, and the law of Dashun did not stipulate where stalls were not allowed, and there was no city management to rush. If the future generations dare to set up a stall in front of the political F compound, it will really be the birthday star hanging himself - he will have a long life. But Dashun is different, not only is no one outside Yanfu Palace care, but even the officials have acquiesced to their livelihood here, as long as they pay taxes on time.
Lu Xiu specified that he wanted to buy a sugar man, which was made of boiled sucrose or maltose in various shapes, including figures, animals, flowers and plants. At this time, the sugar man was just emerging, mostly plane modeling, also known as thick sugar gourd, blowing sugar mapozi, playing swing thick cake, sugar Yi Niang, sugar official, sugar pagoda, sugar turtle and so on.
In front of the candy man's stall, there have been a lot of drooling children, taking the two pennies given by the adults, in exchange for a sugar man, sucking carefully, it can really be sweet to the heart.
Young and old, everyone has a passion for sweetness, and there are only a few people who don't like to eat sugar.
"Go buy it!"
Lu Chengqi looked at Lu Xiu's lovely face lovingly, smiled and took out a few pennies and put them in her hands.
"Your brother and brother want it, what do you want to buy for them?"
Han Feng'er also said to Lu Xiu with a smile.
"Good!"
Lu Xiu jumped to the stall where the candy man was made, and said in a childish voice: "Uncle, how long will you have to wait?" ”
At one end of the burden is a small cabinet, the size of a bedside table, with a rectangular wooden frame nailed to both sides, and a short rope is tied to a copper ring in the middle of the frame, which is used to wear the flat pole. There is a drawer under the burden, and when pulled out is a marble slab, which is used to draw the sugar man. There is a hole in the upper right corner of the cabinet for inserting straw handles, and the candy figures that are blowing or painting are inserted into it. The other end looked similar, but there was no panel, just a small charcoal stove with a copper pot boiling syrup, and a few drawers for ingredients, tools, bamboo sticks, and charcoal.
Before this burden, a lot of sugar figures have been drawn, including gourds, big roosters, Guan Gong, monkeys and so on.
"Little lady, if you specify something, you have to make it fresh, if you don't designate it, do you see what you like here?"
The stall is a little brother, and he looks like he is only twenty-four or five years old. But it is not unusual for the ancients to look older, perhaps only twenty years old.
"I like flowers, you can draw me a plum blossom! By the way, my brother likes paper kites, and my brother likes to be a general......"
Listening to Lu Xiu's milky words, the little brother said happily: "Okay! ”
I saw this little brother skillfully open the drawer and take out the marble slab. First rub it lightly on the marble slab with linoleum, scoop a little syrup on a very delicate small copper spoon, slightly tilt the syrup to slowly flow out, and then the hand goes up to become a sugar line, with the wrist up and down left and right to fly, a vivid plum blossom appears on the marble slab, wait to be cool and set, use the syrup to point two points on the sugar man, stick the bamboo stick upwards and pick it up, and then insert it on the grass handle.
Paper kites are a little more troublesome, but not a big deal. The most difficult thing is the "Great General", this little brother has also seen the costume of General Dashun, immersed in a painting, armor, cloak, iron helmet and spear, all outlined. Seeing Lu Chengqi, he was amazed: "Good! ”
When the sugar man was cold, the little brother handed them to Lu Xiu with a smile and collected ten cents. After all, it is freshly made, and it is more expensive.
Lu Xiu gave the other two to Lu Houxu and Lu Wei, but he was reluctant to take a bite. It was really funny to look at the pitiful appearance of Lu Wei and Lu Houxu feasting.
"Xiu'er, if you don't eat it, it will melt!" Han Feng'er teased Lu Xiu and said.
"Mother, I can't bear to ......"
"Eat it, buy it if it's delicious!"
"Really?" Lu Xiu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
"How can there be a fake, Daddy is here!"
Lu Xiu got the promise, and then he sucked it contentedly, and the aroma of sucrose and maltose stayed on the tip of his tongue, and his little face showed an extremely satisfied expression.
Lu Chengqi took her hand, and the group of five continued to walk forward.
After walking through the two streets, the sugar man in Lu Wei and Lu Houxu's hands was licked up, except for a bamboo skewer. Rather than littering, they found a brick and stone garbage room and threw it in.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the rice market over there.
“…… Thou profiteer, thou profiteer, the rice sold to me is mixed with sand and empty chaff! ”
"Who said there's evidence?"
"Do you dare to open the granary and let me in?"
"Joke, granary, where can you let an outsider in? If you throw sand at my granary, won't I be wronged? ”
"Profiteer, you have a ghost in your heart!"
"Presumptuous, do you know who my owner is? My host is Jiang, Huai, Jing, and Zhejiang, but Cai Jing is also the envoy, but you insult at will? You hurry up, if you don't leave, I'll pull you to see the official! (To be continued.) )
