Chapter 123: Visiting the temple fair with the second uncle
The organizers of this temple fair seem to be full of energy to do an antique event, all the stalls are open-air stalls of a unified system, but the queuing area is demarcated in front of the stalls, so as not to rush up and do some unpleasant things.
The stall that Mo Zhi took her into was queuing up quickly, and before Lin Ran could come back to her senses, the stall owner had already stuffed a bag of sweet and hot stuff in her hand. She stood aside and watched Mo Zhi give the money, until she followed him out of the stall, and then she lowered her head and found that in her hand was a packet of sugar-fried chestnuts that had just come out of the pot.
Mo Zhi stood beside her and shielded her from the wind: "Then you must be the first to finish eating today, so let's take this as a reward first." β
Lin Ran looked at the enticing snack in her hand a little stunned, she didn't like to eat for a while when she was a child, and the adults in the family coaxed her with fried chestnuts with sugar, saying that only the children who finished eating the fastest can eat chestnuts.
She almost forgot about this herself, but she didn't expect Mo Zhi to still remember it.
If there is a progress bar for human emotions like in the game, the bar that Lin Ran fixed on the top of his head about the degree of Mo Zhi's natural enemies must have stepped back a lot from the original level of explosion.
She answered, lowered her head and took out a chestnut from the paper bag that opened its mouth to reveal golden nuts: "Second uncle, do you want it?" β
But I didn't want Mo Zhi to sigh, took her wrist again, and walked forward, leaving only a low and helpless sentence: "I thought you had grown up, but you could not even eat enough in your own house because you were afraid that others would take advantage of the topic, and you were so timid, it was better than the original." β
If Qiao An'an and Bai Ling heard such a long sentence that Second Master Mo rarely saw, they were afraid that they would be so angry that they would come back to life.
Timid?
The Lin Ran, who quietly arranged everything by herself, and even dared to be kidnapped for the sake of a clichΓ©, is timid?
Lin Ran pinched the chestnuts and petrified on the spot, and after reacting, she was angry and ashamed, but she was firmly held by her wrist, so she could only passively follow the man forward, so she had to break the jar and break it: "Second uncle, you can laugh if you want to, isn't it stupid, I can't admit it?" β
The emotional bar of the natural enemy degree that had just retreated returned to the explosive state.
She really shouldn't think that Mo Zhi is good to her, and she shouldn't think that this person is her number one rival!
"It's not stupid, it's a little confused at best."
"......" tried to pull his hand, but he still didn't pull it back.
Seeing that the girl was so angry that she was angry with the chestnuts in her hand like a little squirrel, Mo Zhi's eyes were full of tenderness.
He really thinks that Lin Ran is already very good, no longer a mature appearance pretended, but a delicate and lovely girl who really belongs to this age.
Even if the little fox was angry again, it fell into the hands of the hunter who had already laid the trap, and he was soon coaxed to be happy, and the bag of sugar-fried chestnuts that Mo Zhi bought was not too much, and just after eating, Lin Ran was handed a fluffy marshmallow in front of him: "Take it, don't rub your clothes." β
Lin Youyou was happy to eat and immediately took it happily: "Thank you, second uncle!" β
She usually rarely has this opportunity to eat while shopping, holding the marshmallow in her hand, seeing that everything is fresh, if she hadn't remembered to go to the dim sum stall to buy snacks for Grandma Mo to bring back, Lin Ran might have pulled Mo Zhi and accompanied her to play in order from stall to stall.
Although the organizers of the temple fair had the intention of holding an antique-style temple fair, they also found a team that played acrobatics on the street like in the old days. But after all, the trend is here, and Lin Ran still saw a lot of stalls selling trendy things along the way, and even a cafΓ© on the street opened bizarrely. However, the pedestrians on the street were all interested, and they didn't care about these Chinese and Western mixes at all, even Lin Ran herself was not exempt from vulgarity, so she squeezed into the crowd and bought a steaming octopus balls in her hand, eating them while walking.
"So the progress of the times is still good." Lin Ran tied a small ball with a bamboo skewer and slowly cooled it, "At least in the original, you can't eat such fresh seafood here in Yancheng." β
"Now the cold chain is very perfect, but there is still room for improvement, if you are interested in the future, it is better to go to the company to see." Seeing that the corner of the girl's mouth was stained with a little sauce, Mo Zhi reached out to wipe it for her without care, and then took out a wet tissue and handed it to her, "There is just a related business." β
Lin Ran didn't realize how ambiguous the man's actions just now were in the eyes of others, she followed Mo Zhi these days, although she didn't feel it, she was actually used to his subtle care: "I'll forget it, I'm still interested in law-related things, let me listen to specific business, I may have to doze off in public." β
Mo Zhi didn't force her, after all, the interlacing was like a mountain, he watched Lin Ran finish eating, and naturally took Lin Ran's hand: "Let's go, hold it tight, there are many people here, it's not easy to get separated." β
The two of them are dressed in a low-key manner, and their clothes are not eye-catching at all, but their appearance is really prominent, attracting some curious or envious eyes, but they are not famous celebrities in the end, and most people look away after a few glances.
This made Lin Ran feel more comfortable and casual, and saw that there was an open shop next to him hanging out a lot of finished window grilles, so he pulled Mo Zhi together and entered the store to take a look.
Dare to hang out window grilles for sale on such occasions as the temple fair, naturally there is an old store with confidence and confidence, Lin Ran picked a few good and good-looking ones, and smiled at Mo Zhi: "Look, are these good ones?" β
Mo Zhi glanced at it and nodded: "Yes, you bought it and went back to stick it on the window, but that magpie Dengmei might as well be replaced with the Toad Palace Gui at your hand, which can be regarded as a lip service." β
"You're really careful." The boss is a middle-aged man with a round face, and he looks pleasing when he laughs, "Little girl, it's a blessing to have such a boyfriend." β
Lin Ran blushed suddenly, when the two of them came in, Mo Zhi took her wrist and came in, but in the eyes of others, it was an intimate hand-holding, plus Mo Zhi looked young, no wonder the boss directly mistook it for boyfriend and girlfriend.
hurriedly explained: "Boss, you misunderstood, he is my uncle, and he specially took me out to relax today." β
The boss was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but you two are both outstanding, I looked away for a while and made a joke." β
secretly praised the two of them again.
Although he knew that this was the usual flattery of businessmen, how could anyone be unhappy when he heard good words, Lin Ran smiled and asked, "Boss, are these window grilles all handmade?" β
"It's all hand-cut by my mother and my daughter-in-law, and the two of them are in the back, why don't you go to the backyard and have a look?" The boss laughed, "If you have any desired patterns, you can also directly let the two of them cut them out, and today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I will give you an eighty-eight percent discount, and the picture is auspicious!" β
Just as Mo Zhi was about to accompany Lin Ran, who was interested, to the back of the store, the mobile phone he had been keeping in his pocket rang, Lin Ran rubbed over and glanced at the caller, and after finding that it was Yin Jiang, he hurriedly said: "Second uncle, if there is an urgent matter, you deal with it first, I will walk around the store by myself, you don't have to worry about me." β
After a glance, there was only a carved hollow screen in front of and behind the store, and people stood at the door, and they could see the movement behind the screen at a glance, so Mo Zhi nodded and asked in a low voice: "Then you wait for me for a while, and I will come back soon." β
The back of the shop is not too big, only two women sit, concentrating on paper-cutting under the bright light, seeing someone come in, the younger one raised his head and smiled: "Is it to look at the window flowers?" This side is all freshly cut, you choose slowly. If you have the pattern you want in your heart, just tell me directly, and it will be done in a while. β
Lin Ran took the stack of window flowers, but she was not in a hurry to look through them, and her eyes fell on the shelf behind the woman: "Boss, are those talismans behind you also hand-made?" β
"Yes, I made it all by hand, and all the lines of the amulets were opened in the temple." The woman replied, "It's just that the previous section sold a lot, and the thread was a little insufficient, so it didn't hang outside." β
After that, he stood up and took a few talismans from the shelf to show Lin Ran: "You see, there are those who bless good health, and there are also those who have wide access to wealth and safety...... The best seller is this pink concentric knot of peach blossoms, and this one is the last two pink threads that I found this morning. β
