Chapter 5 Eating Baked Cakes
"Up, north, down, south, left, west, right, east!"
Wei Bowen saw Tong Shuangxi muttering in his mouth, and his fingers were pointing up and down, left and right, and he was very puzzled.
Big brother, don't be a fool with this little concubine.
After Tong Shuangxi determined the direction, he was really relieved.
Looking at Wei Bowen's situation, Tong Shuangxi felt that he had to rely on himself for everything, and also for himself to be able to eat baked cakes as soon as possible.
Really......
"This should be the ...... This way...... Which? ”
At the intersection, Wei Bowen muttered, almost embarrassing himself to death.
The book doesn't say where the west end of the street is? Wang Mazi's baked cake shop is even more unheard of!
Tong Shuangshuang rolled her eyes, didn't look at Wei Bowen, and walked straight to the west.
At this time, it is dark, but luckily most of the shops on the street are not closed, and occasionally you can come across the food stalls selling small snacks.
The town is not big, and the pedestrians on the street are still lively, after all, it is summer, and there are very few people who can fall asleep immediately after dinner.
Tong Shuangxi walked while his eyes didn't rest, looking east and west, and when he saw a grocery store, he raised his feet and walked in.
Wei Bowen hesitated a little, he didn't enter the grocery store at all, but stood outside the store, waiting.
It's a small grocery store, and at the door is a row of half-person-high shelves, which are more like half-person-high cabinets, and the cabinets are sparsely stocked with some ordinary gadgets on weekdays.
There are some things that Tong Shuangxi can barely recognize, but some things can't be guessed for a while.
Behind the counter, the shopkeeper and his mother-in-law were next to each other, muttering something.
Seeing that the person who came was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, she didn't care, and continued to babble.
Tong Shuangxi looked at it here, touched it, but it was also strange, and suddenly, her eyes lit up!
It is a bronze mirror.
The palm-sized, base-stained vermilion lacquered log panel, looks rough but can be seen.
Tong Shuangxi saw his true face for the first time.
Although it is not as clear and bright as modern mirrors, it can still see people clearly.
The small face with a big palm, the eyebrows are sparse, the eyes are very large, the black eyeballs are bonely, and they move smartly and immediately, probably because they are too thin, the nose is small and pointy, and the mouth is tight, Tong Shuangxi opened his mouth, and his teeth were neat and white.
Tong Shuangxi's final summary is that it is a fairly neat child's face, because it is too thin, it can't be seen at all whether it looks good or bad.
This can be regarded as officially knowing Tong Shuangxi and knowing himself!
Tong Shuangxi wiped the faintly visible black ash on his face with his sleeve, then took a deep look, closed his eyes and remembered a few times, and then put down the bronze mirror.
It is normal for the little girl to love beauty, which little girl doesn't look at the mirror much, so the proprietress in the store doesn't care, and she quietly calculates the day's business.
Just when Wei Bowen was waiting a little anxious, Tong Shuangxi came out of the shop slowly.
"Mother...... Alone, it's time to wait in a hurry! ”
When he spoke, Wei Bowen didn't dare to look at this Tong Shuangxi.
Before this, Wei Bowen only knew that there was such a person in the family, and he had never seen it at all, let alone spoke.
"Let's go!"
Tong Shuangxi touched a few copper coins in his sleeve, thinking about the other copper coins under his shoes that were very awkward to walk, and he felt inexplicably confident.
Wang Er Mazi's baked cake shop is not difficult to find, and you can smell the smell of burnt baked cakes from a distance.
"Red bean paste, two wen for sesame filling, two wen for dry branding!"
Seeing that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, he thought that his brother had come with his greedy sister to buy snacks, so he mainly recommended the red bean paste and sesame filling baked cakes that were most popular with little girls in the store.
Wei Bowen didn't understand this, and only looked at Tong Shuangxi.
"Boss, five cents for one red bean paste, one sesame filling, three dry branding!"
Tong Shuangxi didn't think about it, so he looked at the boss with a sweet smile and said.
The boss of the baked cake was stunned for a moment, looked at the little girl in front of him, thought for a while, and then put on the baked cake with a smile: "Gotcha!" The little girl looks at it and makes people happy, one red bean, one sesame filling, three dry branding, eat well, come again next time! ”
As he spoke, five hot baked cakes arrived in Tong Shuangxi's hands.
Tong Shuangxi was a little excited, and he was even more smiling with his teeth, but he couldn't see his eyes.
Counting five copper coins, Tong Shuangxi immediately tore open the oil paper wrapped in the red bean paste cake.
I didn't care about the heat, so I bit it.
The entrance was sweet and crispy, and Tong Shuangxi almost swallowed his tongue.
After the first one was eaten, Tong Shuangxi felt that his stomach was finally alive!
When the second sesame filling was torn open, Tong Shuangxi was not as anxious as before, walking back slowly, chewing in small bites, and his mouth and heart were beautiful!
Wei Bowen was surprised for a while before he caught up with Tong Shuangshuang in front.
Isn't it a silver hairpin? Two texts one, two texts one, two texts three? Isn't it Liuwen? Didn't my mother say to buy three baked cakes?
Wei Zhiwang didn't understand what was in front of him, and besides, he felt even hungrier!
It's just that the baked cakes are in the hands of Tong Shuangxi in front, and Wei Bowen can only watch Tong Shuangxi eating alone.
"Fool!"
Tong Shuangxi didn't have to guess to know what Wei Bowen was thinking.
It's just that she can't care about anything else, doesn't she still have three baked cakes in her hands!
Besides, if I was stupid enough to only buy those three pancakes, it would be hard to say if I could eat them!
Wei Bowen was born to Mrs. Wei anyway, and he was just a concubine, and Tong Shuangxi didn't believe that Wei Bowen could really go to Mrs. Wei to sue him for a concubine.
Scholars always have their own pride, that is, they have to be more stupid.
"Na! The old lady let me buy the baked cakes! ”
Tong Shuangxi, who was full, was relieved physically and mentally, and she stuffed the remaining three baked cakes into Wei Bowen's hands.
Wei Bowen looked at the baked cake in his hand, and wanted to tear it apart like Tong Shuangxi, but after thinking about it, he only swallowed his saliva and held the baked cake tightly in his hand.
Tong Shuangxi thought to himself that this Wei Bowen was stupid, but he was really filial.
"Is the second young master a Xiucai master?"
"Why did the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother go like that......!"
"If Master Xiucai speaks, will the government give money for grain?"
"I heard that when I saw Master Xiucai, I was going to kneel......."
……
Along the way, Tong Shuangxi didn't care whether Wei Bowen would answer his words, and only asked himself.
Wei Bowen felt very uncomfortable being asked by Tong Shuangxi at the beginning, and slowly said something to Tong Shuangxi sentence by sentence.
Sure enough, those three baked cakes did not have Tong Shuangxi's share at all.
The old lady of the Wei family had one by herself, and the remaining two were given to Wei Bowen.
"Look, don't go find some water!"
Mrs. Wei had something to explain to Wei Bowen, so she wanted to support Tong Shuangxi.
As expected, Tong Shuangxi's stomach was full anyway, so he went to find water.
Wei Bowen looked at Tong Shuangxi who left, and his face was a little uncomfortable.
But thinking that Tong Shuangxi had already eaten two baked cakes just now, he didn't think much about it and ate the baked cakes.
