Chapter 160: Treading the Snow Tower, Skillfully Distinguishing the True from the Fake
Fang Wanying led everyone to the Snow Tower.
Treading the snow building in the lake, at this time the lake is frozen, even the weeping willow branches by the lake, also trembling and accumulating snow, if there is just an old owl kicking feet and flying, fluttering and rubbing a branch of snow, the willow branches immediately straighten up their waists, a relaxed.
What's even more surprising is that there are a few red plum trees in full bloom outside the snow treading building.
"Snow in the mountains, prune half a plum." Hua Qiao ran to the red plum tree with a smile, and continued to chant in her mouth: "Gathering short and parting long, the west wind can't bear to blow." ”
Fang Wanying and Xu Zhijin both laughed, and Fang Wanying asked her, "How do you know...... This plum loves this snow? ”
"If you don't love it, why can't you even wait for spring, and the snow will open?" Hua Qiao came over again and took Fang Wanying's hand, and the two of them smiled and walked towards the gate of the Snow Tower.
The door was deserted, and when I entered the building, I saw that there were a lot of guests inside, steaming. The windows were closed, and they couldn't see outside, so the three of them found a quiet corner and sat down.
Xu Zhijin pushed open the window next to him and looked out, just in time to see the road they had just entered.
"On such a cold day, you must eat hot pot, and you can only relieve your hatred when you eat it hot!" Fang Wanying also looked out along the crack in the window that Xu Zhijin had opened, and saw the plum trees again. Laughing quietly:
"If the store gives us a coupon in a while, we don't want it, wouldn't it be better to ask him for two red plums!"
"Coupons? What is it? I've never heard of it in Yangzhou. Xu Zhijin asked with some curiosity, after only getting along for a while, he had already seen that Fang Wanyan was a generous and cheerful girl, and she was less cramped.
Fang Wanying whispered: "This owner is a wonderful person, you see, the hot pot in his store is what he came up with, and what kind of membership card, vouchers and discount coupons that can be topped next time you come to eat, anyway, it is to let you keep coming to his house to eat." ”
Xu Zhijin understood that this was a way for the store to come up with to attract diners. If you have the opportunity, you really want to get to know this store with ideas.
Xiao Er served tea and said that the pot would have to wait. Anyway, Hu Yanjin didn't come, and a few people were not in a hurry, just chatting. Suddenly hearing a commotion downstairs, Xu Zhijin just pushed the window open, revealing a crack below, and the two heads squeezed through.
A group of people came downstairs, all dressed in cloth, and the leader was burly, with a big waist and a sharp boning knife stuck in his belt. He crossed his waist with his left hand, pointed to the man lying on the flatbed with his right hand, and said menacingly:
"No matter what the reason is, my people were beaten by you stepping on the snow building, and you will be responsible for compensation!"
A tall, thin man stood across from him, dressed in the cotton robes that merchants often wear, and if it weren't for the fact that he wore a valuable mink fur hat, Hua Qiao would not have guessed that he was the peculiar shopkeeper.
"Today, it's obvious that your people hit my house first, and he still has bruises on his face, I haven't come to look for you yet, you came to find my stubble! We will report to the official now, go to the yamen, and let the official judge who should be compensated! ”
"You have a wound on your face? I'll show you if there is any injury on my face! Ah Shui, open! ”
The people lying on the flatbed truck were covered with a blanket, and their faces were not visible.
"Let's go! Let's go down and see the excitement! ”
Xu Zhijin just put down the window, and when he saw it, the two girls had already run away and disappeared. Xu Zhijin hurriedly followed, and he found them at the front of the crowd.
The shopkeeper had already called for someone to help out the beaten shop, and although he had a bruise on his face, it was far less serious than the one lying on the flatbed.
The fat man who came to find trouble now has his hands on his waist, if that position is barely a waist. Seeing that there were many onlookers, he said confidently:
"Folks, I am the chef of Dengyun Building opposite, and the one who was beaten is the purchasing brother of our Dengyun Building. Today in the market, I met the purchaser of the snow building, and the two of them had a quarrel when buying ingredients, and our people were beaten!
The people who stepped on the snow building were quite unreasonable, why did you still go to cheer them on? The pots they have, I also have them in Dengyunlou! They give you a discount, and you can also climb the cloud building, I just hope you will recognize the true face of their hypocrisy......"
"It turned out that I came to steal business! The little brother who stepped on the snow building was too impulsive, and he gave people a handle in vain. Fang Wanyan whispered in Hua Qiao's ear. Indeed, the side that is more seriously injured will naturally receive more sympathy from people.
Hua Qiao didn't talk, Xu Zhijin secretly glanced at Hua Qiao, and found that she was staring at the face of the injured brother on the flatbed truck.
Hua Qiao let go of Fang Wanyan's hand and stepped forward: "This chef, I want to check the injuries of the two of them, so that everyone can see more clearly what is right and which is wrong, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Yes! The wound is on the face, it is clear, you can go to the past. The chef with his waist crossed like an amphora said. Of course, the shop owner of the Snow Tower will not object.
Hua Qiao rubbed his hands to warm up his fingers, and first pressed on the bruise of the guy who stepped on the snow building, and the guy was in pain and involuntarily shrank back.
She walked to the flatbed truck again and pressed the bruise on the face of the guy in Dengyunlou, and the guy in Dengyunlou also screamed in pain. Hua Qiao smiled lightly, stared at him and asked, "Are you really in pain?" ”
When she asked, the people who heard the melon seeds next to her were energetic, and someone asked, "How is it?" Which side hurts badly? ”
Hua Qiao turned around and glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "The guy from Dengyun Tower is injured...... It's fake! ”
"Fake? Is it a painting? ”
"It's not like that! Wash it with water, and if you can wash it off, it's fake. The onlookers were talking.
The "amphora" didn't cross his waist anymore, strode forward, grabbed a ball of snow on the side of the road, and rubbed it on the man's face without saying anything, and the guy who rubbed it screamed.
After a few rubbings, he brushed the snow off the fellow's face, pulled him to sit up, and said triumphantly:
"Look, this boy said that our injuries are fake, why can't they be scrubbed off with water? Didn't you get the benefit of stepping on the snow building, stand out for him! You don't inquire, whose property is Dengyun Tower, dare to lie to your face. ”
"You're the one who lied to your face!" Hua Qiao said confidently: "The scar of being beaten is partially hard due to internal bruising, and the guy who stepped on the snow building is this symptom, and the guy who climbed the cloud floor looks scarred on his face, but it is soft as usual to the touch."
As for the bruises you painted, I'm from the south, and I happen to know it. It is the southern zelkova, and rubbing the skin with zelkova leaves will turn the skin blue and red, as if it were injured.
If you peel off the skin of the zelkova and put it horizontally on the skin and iron it with fire, the marks on the skin will be like a rod wound, and even with water, it will not be washed off immediately. ”
The people who ate melon seeds suddenly realized, and they all pointed at the chef of Dengyun Tower.
"You talk nonsense! See if I don't kill you! The chef was closest to Hua Qiao, and he couldn't help but punch him in annoyance.
I saw a silver soft whip brushed out of the oblique thorn, and the tip of the whip rolled straight around his wrist, only to hear a male voice shouting:
"You dare!"
