Chapter 134: There Are Two Whimsical People
Xishan Village.
Uncle Mo arrived in Xishan Village just after half an hour, picked up Shen Shuang and Xiaoshan, and went to the town without anything else.
Uncle Mo originally thought that there would be peach gum, after all, he only heard Jiang Zipei talk about this matter yesterday, but seeing that Shen Shuang didn't say it, the courtyard of the Shen family's house was quiet, and no one seemed to be at home, so he naturally didn't ask too much.
The carriage was a quick ride, and it was exactly the middle of the year when it came to the town, and the sun had risen high in the sky, and the good things in the town market were almost sold.
Shen Shuang was not very accustomed to riding in the carriage, and the bumpy mud road still made her uncomfortable, so she closed her eyes on the carriage to recuperate.
The little wolf cub came with him today, so Xiaoshan played quietly with Baibai, and time was very fast.
Before coming to town, Shen Shuang's father and mother were still a little worried on their faces, saying that they must help see how her grandmother was selling the peach gum, so that nothing could happen.
Although Shen Shuang didn't know much about the trading rules of this ancient restaurant, her grandmother went to sell peach gum so rashly, and it was something that others didn't know at all, and the export was ten taels of silver, so she didn't think it would be good.
However, Shen Shuang knew that her second uncle Shen Tusheng would follow, and it was Yunlailou opposite, so she didn't worry too much, thinking about what the situation was, she would know when she got to the town.
Today, Shen Shuang came to see the Yunlai Lou that had been renovated, and at the same time helped to see the prepared menu, and in a few days everything was ready, Yunlai Lou could reopen, and she also had to tell stories in Yunlai Lou.
Shen Shuang thought a little excited, but also a little sad, excited to tell stories to earn money, sad that she now lives in Xishan Village, running back and forth every day, the carriage is bumpy and the ox cart is slow, and it is impossible to walk on two legs.
Fortunately, she has been taking the time to write a story every day these days, and when the time comes, let the people who can speak well invited by Jiang Zipei interpret these stories, and maybe they can also support the scene.
Shen Shuang's stories are still divided into categories, in addition to the rise and fall of big families like Dream of Red Mansions, with stories of wood and stone love like Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, there are also some stories of heroines, of course, she first talked about Mulan, and then she will also talk about Liang Hongyu and others.
Shen Shuang sometimes feels like she is cheating, but she is also very happy that these good stories are known by more people.
Just thinking about things, the carriage suddenly stopped slowly, and she felt Uncle Mo, who was driving the carriage, jump out of the car, and then heard Uncle Mo speak, "Miss Shen, it's here." ”
Shen Shuang opened the curtain of the carriage, she still lost a lot of meat these days, and after eating and walking in the evening, she also did a set of exercises she had learned before, and got rid of a lot of fat, and it was easier to get off the car at this time than before.
Shen Shuang helped the hill down and turned his head to look at Uncle Mo, "Uncle Mo, thank you for coming to pick us up." ”
"Miss Shen, you're welcome, the seventh son and the eighth girl are waiting for you."
"Okay, then I'll go in first."
At this time, the doorkeeper who heard the movement had already come over to open the door for Shen Shuang, he recognized Shen Shuang, and it was Uncle Mo who went to pick him up early in the morning, that was the distinguished guest, and he hurriedly led Shen Shuang to the courtyard.
Jiang Zipei and Jiang Zitong didn't go out to Yunlai Building today, Jiang Zipei was practicing swords in the courtyard, Shen Shuang saw him when he entered the courtyard, and the hill and the little wolf cub on the side also looked at him with admiration.
They really haven't seen anyone who can use a sword in Xishan Village, and they look quite powerful, in Xiaoshan's impression, the most powerful person is his father and the little hunter at the foot of the mountain, and when he saw Jiang Zipei at this time, he couldn't hide the adoring eyes.
The little wolf cub on the side was purely curious, and its curiosity was naturally not Jiang Zipei's person, but the shiny sword he was holding in his hand.
"Miss Shen, you're here."
Jiang Zipei looked at Shen Shuang, hurriedly stopped his hand, took a deep breath and walked over with a sword, although his face was sweaty, but he still looked very Sven, Shen Shuang inexplicably remembered Little Orion, he was also like this when he was working, although he was very tired and wearing coarse cloth clothes, but he was also not sven, this Jiang Zipei was actually far behind him.
"Miss Shen? Miss Shen? ”
Shen Shuang was in a daze, and came back to her senses when she heard the voice, but found that both of them were looking at her, her face was a little hot, and she didn't know how to think of the little Orion, and she was still distracted.
Shen Shuang pulled out a smile, "Jiang Gongzi's sword dance is very good. ”
Jiang Zipei was about to be modest, but the sword in his hand was torn off, and when he looked down, he saw that it was the little wolf cub who followed Shen Shuang over biting the sword.
Shen Shuang also heard the voice, and suddenly felt a little disgusted with the little thing that made trouble here, "Baibai, what are you doing, hurry up and shut up." ”
Bai Bai glanced back at Shen Shuang, and wanted to continue biting, but she didn't know what to think, so she gave up biting the sword again, and then walked to the foot of the hill with her head drooped, sat down, looked up at the three of them, and looked very cute, but in Shen Shuang's eyes, she knew that this little thing was pretending to be pitiful.
But she didn't bother to pay attention to it, and looked up at Jiang Zipei, "Jiang Gongzi is sorry, this is my family for nothing, it has never seen anything in the world." ”
"Woohoo." When the little wolf cub heard this, he whined a few times in dissatisfaction, and bit the corner of Shen Shuang's skirt.
Shen Shuang was reluctant to kick it, "By the way, what about Zitong?" Why didn't I see her practicing swords with you, I heard that her martial arts are not bad. ”
Speaking of his sister, Jiang Zipei's face was suddenly full of helplessness, "Zitong suddenly wanted to wear women's clothes for some reason a few days ago, and wrote back to ask my brother to buy her good-looking women's clothes. It's rare to see that she can't tinker with these swords because she wears women's clothes, I originally thought that she could learn to be a girl, but I didn't want her to suddenly have a strong interest in some pastries, and tinkered with pastries in the kitchen every day, those pastries...... Alas, it's hard to say, and I ask Miss Shen to help persuade you for a while. ”
As soon as Jiang Zipei's words fell, Jiang Zitong, who came after hearing the news, ran over quickly with her skirt, "Sister Shen, you are finally here, I have been looking forward to you for a long time, and I specially made you a pastry to welcome you, Xiaoying, bring the Huaihua cake over to Sister Shen to taste." ”
Seeing the ugly color of the acacia flower cake on the plate, Jiang Zipei reflexively took three steps back, realized something, and quickly stood still, and then was targeted by Jiang Zitong, "Brother Qi, you can also taste it, I promise this is delicious." ”
Jiang Zipei coughed lightly, "Zitong, you sit with Miss Shen first, I'll change my clothes, and then lead you to Yunlai Tower." Miss Shen, I am out of company. ”
Shen Shuang hurriedly got up and nodded at him, this etiquette is not lacking, people give a salute, she subconsciously has to return the salute, she is still not used to it.
"Sister Shen, try it, help me see how it tastes, I've tried a lot of pastries these days, and this one is the most successful."
Shen Shuang can understand very well the feeling of being suddenly addicted to cooking, after all, she also practiced it back then, and she also wasted a lot of things, she also gave face, and she tasted the acacia cake with Xiaoshan.
Under Jiang Zitong's expectant gaze, she spoke, "The taste is okay, but it's too sweet, next time you need to put less sugar, and after this heat, the pastry is a little hard." ”
Jiang Zitong didn't know why she heard her words as praise, and stuffed pastries into Shen Shuang's hands, "Sister Shen, you eat more." ”
Shen Shuang: "...... I need to lose weight and can't eat that many sweets. ”
"Ah, then eat it for nothing, right?" As he spoke, he didn't care about the wishes of other people's wolf cubs, and directly stuffed a piece of pastry into his wolf mouth.
Bai Bai was dumbfounded, Shen Shuang and Xiaoshan were the same, they felt that it was really weird to be a wolf, they all ate such unpalatable and sweet pastries, and they didn't spit it out, Shen Shuang wondered if he was hungry for it, and finally this little thing choked hard, and had to be fed water to rescue.
After a lot of work, Jiang Zipei also came over, and saw that his sister actually used the pastries she made to spoil a 'dog', and was a little speechless, and looked at the little wolf cub with sympathy in her eyes.
As a psychic wolf, the little wolf cub was very disgusted with Jiang Zipei's sympathetic eyes, grinned at it arrogantly, and then lay down in Xiaoshan's arms to sleep.
The group walked in the direction of Yunlai Lou while talking, there were not many people on the street, and although Shen Shuang's current body size was still fat, it was not as conspicuous as before, and it did not attract the attention of many people.
The main gate of Yunlailou is closed, and the back door has to go around to the side, Jiang Zipei led Shen Shuang and his sister through the street between Manfulou and Yunlailou, and suddenly heard Xiao Er chatting with the small vendors on the side.
It's still early at this time, and it's not yet lunch, so the little second brother will be busy and gossip by the way.
"Little second brother, I heard from the vegetable seller on the west side of the market that there is an old couple in your restaurant who came to sell river clams and what peach gum? The river clam that no one wants is a pound of clams, and a pound of peach gum is ten taels of silver? Is that really the case? ”
The little second brother had a rag on his shoulder, and nodded when he heard this, his face was very disdainful, "But it's not, we are all watching from the back door, I think those two old things are crazy about silver, and they dare to come to our Manfu Building to spread wild, and they don't look at what kind of place we are here." ”
The vendor said, "Isn't it crazy?" ”
The little second brother shook his head, "I don't know about this, but our shopkeeper has a trouble, and those two old things will definitely not dare to come again in the future." It was as hard as a stone, and I don't know what it was, and those two old things said it was a bird's nest, and our shopkeeper almost didn't die of laughter. ”
When Shen Shuang heard this, she also confronted her grandmother.
And Jiang Zipei and Jiang Zitong looked at each other, listening to the names of peach gum and river clams, they also looked at Shen Shuang a little strangely.
Shen Shuang naturally could understand the doubts in their hearts, she came here today to talk about this matter, and at this time she estimated that her grandmother was waiting for them in Yunlai Tower.
"Jiang Gongzi, Zitong, let's talk about it inside."
The two siblings looked at each other, "Okay." ”
The four of them moved to Yunlai Building.
