Chapter 173: Smooth
Three days passed quickly, and in the early morning of this day, after the family had breakfast, Ye Hao and her brother packed up the things they wanted to bring and walked out of the house.
Ye Hao carried a bamboo basket in her hand, covered with a piece of cloth, so that people could not see what was inside.
Walked to the entrance of the village and got on the ox cart, and after more than an hour, the two came to the town.
........
Rewind time to a quarter of an hour ago.
On a clean street paved with bluestone slabs, in front of a magnificent house with two stone lions placed at the door, a child in brocade grosgrain squinted at the man in front of him.
"Bring me two strings of sugar gourds!"
"Okay!" When the man heard this, he immediately picked up two strings of sugar gourds and handed them to the child.
Then, he took the five cents handed by the young man behind the child, his eyes flashed, and he directly stuffed it into his pocket, and walked forward.
Tut-tut, I like these things that buy things regardless of the price, thanks to the efforts of those people before!
But when he saw the child holding the sugar gourd, a flash of happiness flashed in his eyes, and he just bit down and chewed it.
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, hey, why does he feel that today's sugar gourd doesn't taste as good as before?
Not... Not only is it not as delicious as before, but this icing is not crispy enough, bite into it, and there is no crunchy sound at all?
The thought crossed his mind, but he did not stop chewing, and the next moment, he "Ah! A scream.
Covering his cheeks, he angrily threw the sugar gourd in his hand on the ground, pointed at the person who hadn't gone far in front of him, and shouted at the young man behind him: "Catch him for me!" ”
"You thief, you dare to deceive me with this fake sugar gourd...", the child spat out a tooth as he spoke.
"Oh my God, Lang Jun, your teeth!"
The young man screamed, turned his head and shouted at the two little guys guarding the gate: "Hurry up, hurry up! Catch that man! ”
After a tossing and turning of chickens and dogs, the man was brought to the child.
"Say, where are you a liar! How dare you deceive me! The child clenched his teeth and cursed inarticulately.
The man's face showed grievances: "Xiao Langjun, my sugar gourd is real, how dare I deceive you?" ”
I knew that this child was so difficult to mess with, even if he didn't earn this money, he wouldn't sell it to him.
"You're lying! I've eaten a lot of sugar gourds before, and they sell them much better than yours, and they won't hit my teeth! ”
"You sugar gourd, the taste is far worse than theirs! You're still not telling the truth? My father is the best man in town, and I'm going to go to my father and punish you!" ”
The child covered his face, and as he spoke, he prepared to go home.
"I said, I said, Lang Jun, don't go!" When the man saw this posture, he panicked.
He knows the people who live here, that's not something he can provoke, in case this incident affects his eldest brother's plan again, his fate will definitely not be better.
Seeing that the child turned around, the man hurriedly said: "I am indeed not the same as those who sold sugar gourds before, I see that the sugar gourds sell well." ”
"I pondered for a while, imitated it and sold it, and asked Xiao Langjun to bypass the little one for the sake of me as a first-time offender, right?"
When the child heard the answer, his face showed a touch of self-satisfaction, hum, Lang Jun, my mouth is very open, how can I not taste the difference?
"Hmph, just let you go? So what about my teeth? ”
A touch of distress flashed in the man's eyes, and he took out a dozen pennies from his arms tremblingly: "Xiao Langjun, I... All I have is this money, and I'll give it all to you. ”
A flash of disdain flashed in the child's eyes, but he still turned his head and commanded the boy beside him, "Go and get it!" ”
Hmph, his teeth can't be sacrificed in vain, such an unpalatable sugar gourd, I'm sorry for the five cents he just spent.
Don't look at the fact that children are still young, but they already know what to eat, and they can't suffer losses.
"Get out! Don't let Lang Jun see you again! The boy put away the money and waved his hand at the man in disgust.
Hearing this, the two little guys behind the man let go of his arm and stretched out their feet to kick him: "Get out!" ”
"Hey, get out, get out!"
The man nodded and said, his body stepped back, and the next moment, he suddenly turned around and ran away quickly!
The child didn't pay attention to the man anymore, looked up at the sky, and frowned: "Why hasn't the sugar gourd been sold yet?" ”
Hearing this, the young man beside him hurriedly said, "Lang Jun, it was almost this hour in the past, and it should be soon." ”
"It's better for Xiao Langjun to go back to the house to rest first, I'll stay at the door and keep an eye on Langjun."
"Well, you must listen carefully to me, I haven't eaten sugar gourd for several days, but I must eat it today!"
The child snorted and commanded.
"Lang Jun rest assured!" The boy immediately answered.
...........
Ye Hao and the others came to the town, did not wander elsewhere, and went straight to her destination this time.
After a short while, she came to the house that she liked very much, and lifted the coarse cloth that covered her.
She opened her mouth and shouted: "Sell sugar gourds~Crispy and sweet sugar gourds~"
As soon as Ye Hao shouted, the young man guarding the door heard it, got up from the stool, and walked outside the mansion in a few steps.
"Over there, bring me two strings!"
While speaking, the young man walked up to the two of them, took out five cents from his arms, and handed it to the girl in front of him.
"Hey, it's you, I remember that you haven't been to town for a long time, and it wasn't you who sold this sugar gourd after that!"
The boy took the sugar gourd she handed and said.
Ye Hao smiled and said, "Their sugar gourds are all bought from me." ”
"No wonder, I just said that the taste of the sugar gourd is exactly the same!" The boy said casually.
After saying this, he took the sugar gourd, turned around and prepared to leave.
But I heard Ye Hao say again: "Alas, it's a pity, in the future, in this town, it is estimated that you will not be able to eat my family's sugar gourd." ”
The young man paused, turned around, and frowned: "What is this for?" ”
Xiao Langjun always doesn't eat well on weekdays, so he expects to eat sugar gourds, which is appetizing, and he can eat a bunch on weekdays, and he can also have a sweet mouth.
If you can't eat this in the future, I don't know what Xiao Langjun is going to do.
Ye Hao sighed when she heard this: "Alas, when I came to town today, I came secretly, and I didn't even dare to take the shelf, so I brought a few strings." ”
"It's really because, in these ten miles and eight towns, a group of bullies came out of nowhere, and they didn't let us continue to sell this sugar gourd, we are just ordinary people, how dare we disobey their words."
"No, I came here today because I thought that Xiao Langjun likes to eat sugar gourds, so I came to inform you."
The more the young man listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled: "But I still met a person selling this sugar gourd today?" ”
"That's them! They figured out how to make this sugar gourd, and they were worried that we would steal business with them, so they wouldn't allow us to sell it again, and wanted to monopolize this business......"
