Su Heting's little scholar came out to do errands, saw Yuan Ning setting up a stall at a glance, looked over, turned around and ran back, and reported to Su Heting.

Su Heting thought for a while and ordered, "You go and pick up a few catties and come back." ”

The little scholar smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that your throat has not been comfortable for the past two days, and eating pears can alleviate it to a certain extent." Go back and ask the kitchen to cook you some rock sugar pears. ”

Su Heting waved his hand and threw his money bag over, "Don't ask the price." ”

The little scholar was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more. I grabbed my money bag and went out.

When he went outside, he happened to go to the opposite side with Master Feng and Master Sun, and both of them asked him: "Fang Yan, in a hurry, what are you going to do?" ”

Fang Yan smiled and said, "Our adults don't feel very comfortable in their throats, I'll go buy a few pears to eat." ”

The two masters looked at each other and nodded, "Then you can go." ”

Fang Yan trotted all the way out of the yamen, and saw that a few people were bargaining in front of Yuanning's stall, he squeezed in and picked it, and found that each pear was very good, so he didn't pick it, waved his hand, and said very boldly: "Bring me ten pears!" ”

He didn't even ask the price, and such a bold behavior surprised others.

Fang Yan took a look, straightened his chest, and glared at his eyes, "What's wrong?" I see these pears are so big," I picked one up and put it in front of my nose and smelled it, "It tastes so good, it must be delicious!" ”

In the face of such a cool guest, Yuan Ning naturally wanted to recommend it well, she picked up a pear with a raised blessing on the surface and said, "Little brother, what do you think of this pear?" ”

Fang Yan's ability to follow Su Heting's side shows that this child is very clever, as soon as he looks at the appearance of the pear, he knows who his master bought the fruit in before, he smiled, nodded and said, "Send blessings!" Good sign, good sign! How many pears like this do you have? ”

Yuan Ning pointed to the basket beside him, "It's full of baskets!" ”

"Okay!" Fang Yan nodded, "What's the meaning?" ”

"This is Tim Fu and Longevity," Yuan Ning skillfully took out four pears, put them in a small basket, and then introduced, "This is peace and joy, and there is an auspicious reunion here." ”

Fang Yan couldn't help but smile and nodded: "You are a little interesting about this!" I've traveled a lot, and you're a fruit like you! Come on, bring me three sets. ”

"Three sets are twelve," Yuan Ning made it clear to others in advance, "Little brother, it's not easy to grow pears like mine, so they are all sold individually, and one one needs fifteen yuan." ”

"Fifteen?" Fang Yan was actually surprised in his heart, but in order to save face for his master, he had to pretend to be arrogant, and waved his hand, "It's a little meaning!" It is rare to be able to eat such a rare and auspicious fruit.

"Little girl, don't go," Fang Yan advised, "If our master eats well, maybe he will let me buy it!" ”

Yuan Ning borrowed a knife from the stall next to him, washed it carefully with water, and then quickly cut a pear, and took a petal for Fang Yan to taste, "Little brother, try it." ”

This pear is really sweet and juicy, the flesh is still crisp and raw, Fang Yan nodded vigorously, "It's delicious!" That's it, give me twelve like this, and five pounds for the ordinary one. ”

Yuan Ning took the opportunity to say: "My pears that have no auspicious meaning also cost five pennies a catty." ”

"Needless to say, just call me up." Fang Yan waved his hand and took another pear.

Bo Zhong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he opened his mouth.

There are no scales on their stall at all, and the last time they weighed it was borrowed from someone else, this time when they heard Fang Yan say that they wanted to buy it, Bo Zhong went to borrow a scale and came back without his sister's instructions.

Yuan Ning first took the auspicious pears for others, then weighed five catties of ordinary ones for him, and took three plums to add them, "Little brother, this is my first transaction today, so I give you three plums, you go back and taste it, my plums are also delicious." ”

Fang Yan nodded, seeing that the basket of fruits on her side was too small, so he said, "You wait, I'll go back and get a pocket." "I'm afraid that Yuan Ning is worried that he won't come back, so he paid the money in advance, "Two hundred and five dollars, right?" ”

Yuan Ning happily took the money, "That's right, that's right, the little brother will come back after eating!" ”

Fang Yan turned around and ran back into the yamen.

Everyone looked at it, "This young man turned out to be from the yamen?" ”

Fang Yan came back soon, carrying a basket in his hand and a cloth bag, the pears with auspicious meanings were put into the basket, and the rest of the five catties of pears were put into the cloth bag, and he returned to the yamen again.

Naturally, the things you buy are going to be taken to the inner house.

Ordinary pears can be eaten as soon as they are washed and peeled, but how to dispose of pears with auspicious meanings can stump the little scholar.

Because those words are all protruding, don't peel it, it's easy to have an upset stomach when you eat pear peel, but if you peel it, what if these words are destroyed?

After thinking about it, I still peeled all the skins in other places, and only that word was left unprocessed, so I went to the second hall with it.

When there are no cases to be adjudicated in court, Su Heting is handling official business in the second hall, and the atmosphere here is more relaxed.

Fang Yan brought the auspicious pear to the table of Su Heting, and said respectfully: "My lord, you can eat some pears and take a rest." ”

Su Heting put down his pen, looked at the words "Fu" and "Shou" facing him on the plate, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Fang Yan turned around and brought the washed and cut ordinary pears to the table of the master and the county officials, and said with a smile: "Several masters also eat pears to quench their thirst, I have tasted them, they are really delicious." ”

He was careful and proper, and the pears he gave to Su Heting looked like they were still a whole, but they had actually been cut into small pieces, and they could be eaten as long as they were tied with a toothpick.

The pears for others are directly cut into petals, and there are no toothpicks.

Master Sun smiled: "You kid, this is what you want us to grasp with our hands?" ”

"Don't you dare!" Fang Yan stuck out his tongue and handed out the toothpick in his hand to everyone.

Everyone watched Su Heting eat a piece of pear first, and then took action, praising while eating: "It's indeed sweeter than the pears I have eaten in previous years." ”

"It's also good-looking," Su Heting suddenly spoke, and asked Fang Yan, "Where did you buy it?" ”

Fang Yan heard the song and knew the meaning of the strings, and immediately replied: "It's not far outside our yamen." The young lady and brother who sold pears looked to be less than ten years old.

"They not only have pears on their stalls, but also plums, and I also tasted the plums, which are sweet and sour!"

Su Heting said "um" and stopped talking.

A few masters and county officials looked at each other, and they all understood the meaning of this, and the adults were telling them to patronize it!
