Chapter Seventy-Five: Is This a Date?
Bathing in the breeze in the night, Tang Lu'er followed Shangguan Yu to get off the carriage at Donghua Gate, pulled Shangguan Yu's sleeve, and walked towards Suzaku Street with an excited face. Along the way, you can see countless stalls of various colors, lit with parchment lamps in the night, like a long queue, crowding the popular streets.
As soon as Xiangzhou City falls at night, the most lively place is this Suzaku Street. I saw stalls on the street with fine steamed buns, fragrant candy seeds, intermittent sugar lychees, raw flooded papaya, licorice ice and snow cold water; The red silk crystal in front of the big shop, the dripping crisp crystal fish, the fried liver, the fried tongs; There are also big signboards of eel buns, hu cakes, vegetable cakes, clams, crabs, walnuts, all of which dazzle people's eyes, and the mixed fragrance also hooks out the gluttonous worms in people's stomachs, which leads to drooling.
The two of them occasionally pass by the stall of fried fruits, and from time to time they will encounter the stall owner who suddenly pours a basket of flour fruits into the oil pot, and then see that the whole oil pot is so hot that it seems to be about to explode, and there are oil stars jumping out of the water, if it jumps on the skin, it is not blistering, and it can also make a red dot.
Shangguan Yu not only has to help Tang Lu'er block these oil stars, but also has to take care of her not to be knocked down by pedestrians, and has to prevent some disciples from fishing in troubled waters. He brought her here, so he couldn't let her suffer a loss here, or let people take advantage of her, so he didn't relax for a moment, plus the raging fire in the stall, and the steaming heat sent by the front frying and stir-frying, made him sweat on his forehead for a while.
The girl was so curious that she had to come up to take a look at any stall, and sometimes let go of his sleeves, Shangguan Yu was helpless, so she had to speak again and again, asking her to tighten and not get lost.
Tang Lu'er was coming to a stall, looking at the various skewers on the stall with glowing eyes, only to see that there were flowers and green, meat and vegetarian, many of which were still things she had never seen before, and the novelty was tight.
"Shall we eat this?" Tang Lu'er kept her saliva and turned back to Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu was about to call her, but the girl suddenly turned around, with a pure smile on her face, her eyes were full of waves when she spoke, her expression was delicate, and the red firelight next to her reflected her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, flickering and flickering.
Shangguan Yu originally wanted her to find a stall with tables and chairs, sit down and eat well. It's just that the words are just about to come out, and after looking at the pair of bright and expectant eyes, he swallowed the words back, obediently helped her pay, and let her pick five or six strings of preserved fruits and other things, and he was also forced by her to stuff two slices of meat that I don't know what kind of meat he had, and then continued to follow her to wander around in this surging crowd.
"Seventh brother and seventh brother, look, what is this?"
"Brother Seven, come here, let's eat this."
"Brother Seven, I'm very delicious, do you want to taste it, ouch, what are you polite about."
"Brother Seven, give me a bite of that! Hurry up! ”
"Brother Seven, are you thirsty? There's one that sells chilled pear water! ”
"Seventh Brother ......"
"Seventh Brother ......"
I don't know when she started to change her mind about him again, and the more she screamed, the smoother she became, and the smile on her face never stopped, she was really happy, pure happy. Shangguan Yu was a little uncomfortable at first, after all, he had never been to such a crowded and noisy cheap night market before, and he was afraid that he would never come to this kind of place in his life.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that her happiness had unconsciously infected him.
Such a plain, fireworks-filled world is something he has never experienced, and it was a little out of place at first, but he was pulled by her, and the cry of "Seventh Brother" made him slowly dissolve into it.
In order to come here tonight, Tang Luer deliberately changed into a light blue seawater pattern trimmed jade white shirt, with an emerald green embroidered belt around her waist, pink and green trousers underneath, and a circle of sea water decoration under the trouser legs. Shangguan Yu took the chilled pear juice she handed over, and glanced at the girl, and saw that she was still combed with a simple double screw bun in her hair, and there were two blue gauze flowers on the bun. It seems that she has never seen such a happy person, her face is always full of smiles when she speaks, her eyes are as bright as stars, no matter how depressed she is, a meal can make her happy, delicate and simple like a drop of dew just condensed in the morning.
"Wow, you're so filled!" Tang Lu'er poured most of the bowl of chilled pear juice, touched her stomach, and sighed with satisfaction.
"Where else do you want to go?" After Shangguan Yu returned the bowls of the two to the stall owner, he asked her, and the two of them stopped eating and eating, and they had been shopping for more than an hour, almost half of the street. Further south, there are many acrobatic troupes, and at the end of Suzaku Street is the bank of the Xiang River, at this time, there should be a lot of fun-seeking painting boats on the river.
"When you're full, let's have fun." Tang Lu'er was happy, so he pulled his sleeve and continued to move forward. It was only two steps before the two of them took two steps that a man in front of them who seemed to have drunk too much suddenly bumped into them, because there were so many people around, and everyone was also hiding. Tang Lu'er couldn't avoid it, seeing that she was about to be bumped into, Shangguan Yu pulled her hand and took her into his arms.
Her very familiar breath, mixed with a faint mint fragrance, belongs to him, accompanied by the soft fabric on his body, and the sense of smell and touch rushes towards her at the same time. Tang Lu'er only had time to let out a low cry, and the drunk man brushed past her, and instantly knocked over a large bucket in front of someone's stall, causing a lot of exclamation and abuse.
It was just the blink of an eye, and Shangguan Yu pushed Tang Lu'er away, and then took her by the arm and took her away. Tang Lu'er touched her nose and looked at the man next to her with a salivating face, such a cold expression, such a strong arm, and such a safe embrace...... Ahhh She bit the little handkerchief hatefully in her heart, infinitely resentful!
For a good eater, there is nothing more painful in the world than a super delicacy right in front of him, only to be able to smell it, and occasionally be teased, which simply challenges his resistance to food.
It would be nice to have another drunk, Tang Lu'er thought with resentment, and once again, she would never let go of the opportunity.
Shangguan Yu didn't know that he was being salivated by others, so he saw that the girl suddenly fell silent, and when she minded the hug she had just given, he remembered Mrs. Tang's previous warning. So Shangguan Yu hesitated for a while before explaining: "It was a last resort just now, don't take it to heart." ”
"Ahh......h No, it won't! Tang Lu'er came back to her senses, and was stunned before she realized what he was referring to, so she waved her hand and shook her head and smirked, emphasizing in her heart, absolutely not.
The two walked for a while without embarrassment, and suddenly saw that there was a glass water tank in front of them, which was full of colorful goldfish, Tang Lu'er was a little strange, so he walked over and took a look and said, "This still sells goldfish?" ”
"Girl, I'm not selling, I'm giving it away for free, as long as you can get it, you can take it." The boss was a thin middle-aged man, and when he saw a guest coming to the door, Ma Zhi laughed, and then saw chrysanthemums blooming on his face.
"Oh, there's this good thing? How to fish? Tang Lu'er was aroused and asked.
"Use this little net to fish." With a chrysanthemum on his face, the goldfish assessment smiled and picked up a small spoon-like net and a small bucket filled with water and handed it to Tang Lu'er and said, "Catch it once, for a penny, as long as the girl can fish out the goldfish in the tank, she can take it away." Girl, the goldfish in my tank, even the cheapest one can be bought for fifteen yuan, give it a try, it's a good deal. ”
"Then I'll try." Tang Lu'er grabbed her sleeves, took the spoonful of the small net, and saw a pink and golden big-headed goldfish, so she fished the small spoon net in her hand. Drink, this shot is accurate, Tang Lu'er was confident, and hurriedly picked up the small spoon net and said, "There is it, give me the bucket quickly." ”
The goldfish boss handed over the bucket and said with a smile: "The girl is so lucky." ”
It's just that as soon as his words fell, the goldfish in Tang Lu'er's net struggled twice, and with a plop, it fell back into the water.
"Ah, boss, you're a broken net." Tang Lu'er was startled, picked it up and took a look, only to see that there was a big hole in the net.
The goldfish boss explained unhurriedly: "Girl, this net is like this, you have to rely on your hands quickly to catch goldfish, you have to work out the fish before this net is broken." ”
"I mean, there's something you took for nothing."
"The girl did a good job just now, do you want to try again, the practice feels good, it's only a penny at a time." The goldfish boss handed over a small net again, smiling and seducing.
Tang Lu'er is really a little itchy in her heart, goldfish is not uncommon, but this game is indeed a little seductive, that is, at the moment when you are about to succeed, you suddenly break the work, how unwilling.
It's just that after she fished thirty times, Tang Lu'er began to go a little crazy, and glared at the profiteer in front of her unwillingly: "Boss, you are a pit man, you don't have a net to use!" ”
"Girl, your hands are not fast, you can't complain, do you want to try again?" The goldfish boss still had a chrysanthemum on his face, and handed over a small spoon net as he spoke.
"Seventh brother......" Tang Lu'er glanced at Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Yu sighed, reached out to take the small net in the hand of the goldfish boss, and asked her, "Which one do you want?" ”
"All of them, okay?" Tang Lu'er smiled and looked at him expectantly.
"Greed." Shangguan Yu had a smile in his eyes, and then took the small bucket next to him. The goldfish boss was still secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he could make more money tonight, but the next moment, he was so shocked that he almost protruded a pair of eyes!
I saw that the man's action of scooping the goldfish was so fast that he couldn't even see clearly, only the sound of plopping was heard in a piece, until the small bucket was almost full, and the small spoon in his hand was not damaged in the slightest!
"Brother Seven, you are so handsome!" Tang Lu'er recovered from the visual shock, and suddenly exclaimed, hating to pounce on him.
"Son, son, this is a small business...... the goldfish boss looked at his already bare fish tank, and his heart was about to get sick.
Shangguan Yu didn't pay attention to the boss, just glanced at Tang Lu'er, Tang Lu'er was in a good mood, so he took the small bucket and poured it into the fish tank: "Okay, okay, I'll give it back to you." ”
The two of them left the goldfish stall, and when Tang Lu'er was looking at what to play next, she didn't want to suddenly hear a delicate voice from behind, with a little surprise in her tone: "Brother Mingde!?" ”
