Chapter 068: Rock Sugar Gourd

After taking the photo, Chu Yang did not rush back, but drove everyone to a food street not far from here, which he noticed on the way here. It just so happened that although Ellie signed a contract with him, it was obvious that little Lori was not close to him as an admiral, but closer to Lexington, which is not good, how could the ship's mother not be close to her own admiral? No matter how you say it, they are all little Lori, they should be similar to human children, and they all like to eat snacks, so Chu Yang plans to take Ellie to the food street to brush up on their goodwill.

The food street is not far from the old street where the photo studio is located, and it is two hundred meters west of Rongcheng City Center Street. It is similar to Xi'an Muslim Street in the city where Chu Yang's hometown is located in his previous life, it is a narrow street no more than seven or eight meters wide, and there are all kinds of restaurants and shops on both sides of the street.

At this time, it is neither a weekend, nor is it the golden hour of the night, so there are not many tourists on the food street, but it is not deserted, and the tourists from other places patrol in front of the food stalls placed in the inner entrance of the shops on both sides of the street, tasting the local specialties of Rongcheng, as well as all kinds of snacks from all over the world.

After parking the car at the entrance of the food street, the eyes of the fireflies lit up at once, and it seemed that little Lori was not only cute, but also likely a snack. Ellie, on the other hand, had a disgusted expression, as if she didn't want to get out of the car, and finally reluctantly took Lexington's hand and walked down under Lexington's gentle gaze.

"Brother Chuyang, I want to eat rock sugar gourd." I just got off the bus, and I haven't walked into the snack street yet! The eyes of the fireflies were attracted by the rock sugar gourd stall at the corner of the street.

In fact, it is not a small stall, it is a bicycle with a straw stick tied to it, and strings of red rock sugar gourds are inserted on it.

This way of selling rock sugar gourds was very rare in Chu Yang's previous life. He only remembers that every time he and his grandfather went to the countryside to visit the temple fair when he was a child, he would definitely take his grandfather to buy a rock sugar gourd first, and then he followed his grandfather to the temple fair and watched the big drama while eating.

Speaking of rock sugar gourd, there is also a short allusion, saying that during the Shaoxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Guangzong's favorite Huang Guifei fell ill. She has a yellow face and thin muscles, and she doesn't want to eat. The Imperial Doctor used many valuable medicines, but none of them had any effect. The emperor saw that his concubine was haggard day by day, and he was also sad all day long. In the end, I had no choice but to seek medical treatment. A Jianghu Langzhong unveiled the list and entered the palace, and after checking the pulse of Huang Guifei, he said: "As long as you use rock sugar and red fruit (that is, hawthorn) to suffer, eat five to ten pieces before each meal, and you will be cured within half a month." At first, everyone was skeptical, but fortunately, this way of eating was still in line with the concubine's taste, and after the concubine took it in this way, she recovered as scheduled. The emperor was naturally overjoyed and frowned. Later, this practice spread to the people, and the common people skewered it up and sold it, and it became a rock sugar gourd.

When Chu Yang was young, a folk song describing rock sugar gourds was also popular all over the country.

"It is said that rock sugar gourd is sour

Inside the sour, it's wrapped in sweetness

It is said that rock sugar gourds are sweet

But inside the sweetness, it reveals that sourness

The sugar gourd looks good, and it wears bamboo sticks

Symbolizes happiness and reunion

Connecting happiness and reunion

No worries, no worries."

The song is still in my ears, but the world has long since changed, and things are not people. At this time, in the face of this situation, Chu Yang's heart couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

"Admiral, what's wrong?" Lexington couldn't help but ask with some concern. When he got out of the car, Chu Yang was fine, but in an instant, his expression became a little depressed. The two little Loli didn't realize that the fireflies had already run to the vendor selling rock sugar gourds with Ellie. But Lexington, who had been by Chu Yang's side all the time, was still sensitive to the change in the Admiral's expression.

"It's nothing, it's just a little homesick." Chu Yang in his previous life was not an orphan. He has a complete family, children who have worked all their lives, ordinary but respectable parents, and a younger brother who is only two years younger than him. And he disappeared, and I don't know how worried and sad his parents and family should be.

"Home." Lexington muttered softly, shook Chu Yang's hand, and said, "Admiral, if you feel homesick, I can accompany you back." ”

As he spoke, a touch of shyness appeared on Lexington's face, which was probably about to meet his parents! I just don't know if the Admiral's parents like her as a "daughter-in-law".

It's just that Lexington is a little strange, neither when he was in the town guard before, nor after meeting the admiral again, the admiral never mentioned his family, his parents. She had always thought the Admiral was an orphan, but now it didn't seem to be.

If this was the earth in his previous life, Chu Yang would definitely not hesitate to pull some Lexington and go straight home. And his parents will definitely be happy after seeing such a beautiful daughter-in-law, they don't know how happy and relieved they are. It's a pity that this is a parallel earth space, and the difference in dimensional planes completely blocked Chu Yang's thoughts of going home. Fortunately, he also has a younger brother, and when his parents are older, he has his own younger brother, so he is not too worried.

"My home is in a far, far away place, and I may never go back in this life."

"Don't be afraid, as long as the Admiral wants, no matter where your home is, Lexington will accompany you back, because that is also Lexington's home."

"Thank you." Holding Lexington into the monster and kissing him lightly on the forehead, Chu Yang took Lexington's hand and walked towards the stall selling rock sugar gourds.

Since there was no way back, it was pointless to think about it again, so Chu Yang quickly recovered from his homesickness. For him now, living in the moment and cherishing the people in front of him is what he should do most.

"Brother Chuyang, I want that string." Firefly pointed to the top string of sugar gourds on the straw stick and asked Chu Yang to help her take it down.

Actually, there is nothing to pick, the sugar gourd in this world is far from developing to the point of bells and whistles in Chu Yang's previous life. It is the most primitive kind, a bamboo skewer with a few rock sugar gourds wrapped in transparent frosting on the surface, each string is of a uniform size, all look red and gorgeous, revealing a sense of festivity.

"Ellie, what about you?" After removing the sugar gourd according to the firefly's request, Chu Yang looked at Ellie again. All right! It's still the name of Ellie, and besides, he Chuyang is still very pure, so the ghost father or something is all called Gui!

"Don't eat it, Ellie is not a child, so she doesn't like to eat rock sugar gourds." said so, but little Lori's eyes blinked and stared at the fireflies who were eating sugar gourds on the side.

"Really, don't?" It's really a twisted little Lori, Chu Yang plans to tease Ellie.
