008 Cousin (B)
Tang Anqing lowered his head in disbelief, looked at Puyu who was holding a cherry, and his red lips opened and closed, although it was just a simple word, it still made Tang Anqing ecstatic, picked up Puyu and sat on the table, looking at himself, "Come and call my mother, listen to my mother, learn to see..."
Baozi also looked at Puyu with a curious face, holding his little paw in front of Puyu, under the gaze of the two pairs of eyes, Puyu was still holding a cherry, stretching out his fleshy little hand to fill the cherry into his small mouth, not caring about Tang Anqing's ardent expectation at all, and eating happily alone.
After waiting for a while, he didn't hear Puyu speak again, and pinched Puyu's bulging little face with a little disappointment, "You little white-eyed wolf, I really don't hurt you, boy." Just like buns, you know how to eat, hum. Puyu swayed her little face with a hum, holding a cherry like a little squirrel eating a pine cone, with a bulging face. Tang Anqing was a little disappointed for a while, then stopped worrying about this problem, and gnawed the little squirrel's face fiercely, before letting go of the little squirrel who was silently gnawing something. Baozi was silently aggrieved by a person next to him: Hey, I didn't say a word, and I was angry with Qingqing.
Puyu finished eating a few cherries, pouted and didn't want to eat any more, looked at the furnishings in the room with round eyes, and stretched out his little hand one by one to go forward, Tang Anqing took him down from the table and put it on the ground, Puyu walked to the window, maybe he heard the sound of people coming and going on the street outside the window. Pulled a chair over and sat by the window, letting Puyu stand on her lap and look out. The streets are full of people, and all kinds of voices are mixed together: the sounds of bargaining, the sound of vendors greeting customers, and the voices of people talking to each other, all of which make the whole market seem more lively. Tang Anqing took a look at the street and there were all kinds of sellers: those who sold vegetables, fruits, lanterns, rouge gouache and cloth, etc., and thought to himself if he should buy something here, the things in the space can be kept fresh, so it is not a problem to buy some vegetables and meat on the ground, the key is whether there is a fire in this space?
"Baozi, do you think you can make a fire in the space? Don't burn the space on fire. Tang Anqing turned his head to look at the bun lying on the table a little listless.
Hearing Tang Anqing's words, Baozi quickly raised his head, his azure eyes rolled slightly, "Qingqing, do you want to cook in the space?" That's great, I want to eat Qingqing's cooking, it must be delicious. ”
"I said buns, I didn't say I could cook, you know that my cooking is delicious. But if you say that, it must be able to make a fire, and that's good. We're going to buy some groceries this afternoon, and now we have to think about what to buy, so don't forget about it then. I have to buy this oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and I have to buy this pot, shovel, pans, dishes, chopsticks, and spoons, so I don't know what this fire is all about? I've never burned a fire before. No matter, let's talk about it then. I have to buy some meat and vegetables, and by the way, I have to buy eggs, and Yu'er has to be eggs now. I have to buy some fabrics to make clothes for our family Yu'er to wear~ I'm thinking about what else there is, how do I get it back? Hey, it's not easy to raise a family. What else is there to buy? Let's see what we need before we buy it. Tang Anqing chattered a lot, Puyu clapped his little hands on the side, grinning, and the buns also listened with relish, it was really relish, and the saliva that was about to flow from the corner of his mouth showed that he was really far away.
In the afternoon, Tang Anqing walked out of the door with Puyu, who was full of food and drink, and Baozi went back to the space under Tang Anqing's strong request. When he went downstairs, the shopkeeper downstairs stroked his goatee, "Guest officer, are you going out?" ”
Tang Anqing walked to the counter and asked, "Yes, the shopkeeper." Go out and buy something, uncle, can I let the seller send this thing to you, can you look at it? ”
The shopkeeper laughed when he heard this, "Guest officer, you are from a foreign country, of course you can, you just need to tell them that it is my old Zhangtou's 'Yuelai Inn', and they promise to send it to you, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts, I will definitely show you a good look!" ”
Tang Anqing let go of his heart when he heard this, and thanked the shopkeeper before going out. Originally, I was buying some vegetables, but now it seems that it's afternoon, and this dish has been picked and picked by people all morning, so I plan to buy it again tomorrow morning, and there are fewer people at that time, and you can put the vegetables in the space. So Tang Anqing walked around the street with Puyu in his arms, and from time to time paid money to buy some gadgets for Puyu, a monkey-shaped sugar man and a plucked drum, the child was so happy that he kept swinging the plucked drum, and the small drum made a crisp sound, knocking.
grocery
"Shopkeeper, what kind of vinegar and soy sauce do you have here?" Tang Anqing walked around the store, there is vinegar and soy sauce, but I don't know what types of vinegar and soy sauce are there?
"Yo, it seems that the guest officer is a knowledgeable person, and most people come to me to buy vinegar and say that the more sour the vinegar, the better, and few people ask the old man what kind of vinegar there is. Now there is no one else, the old man, I will nag with the guest officer, the vinegar in my store is the most complete one in the city, you can have any vinegar you want, brown rice vinegar, glutinous rice vinegar, rice vinegar, koji vinegar, bran vinegar, bad vinegar, glutinous vinegar, this soy sauce is not so many varieties, soy sauce is still the best. What kind of guest does this guest want? The old man stroked his gray beard and said with a smile, and pointed out each type of vinegar to Tang Anqing.
"Uncle, I want this glutinous rice vinegar to be sour but not astringent, and this brown rice vinegar is luscious, and I want some koji vinegar. The soy sauce is just fine. Tang Anqing thought for a while before saying, "Uncle, how many cans do you have?" ”
The old man stroked his beard and nodded, "It seems that the guest officer is a person who knows vinegar, old man, the smallest jar here is half a catty, and the largest is mostly the largest." ”
"Then the uncle will give me half a catty of everything, but can the uncle send these to Zhang Lao's 'Yuelai Inn', I live there now, and I have agreed with Zhang Lao." How much is Uncle in total? Hugging Puyu up, Tang Anqing asked.
"This is naturally possible, wait for the old man, I will calculate that half a catty of glutinous rice vinegar is 35 yuan, half a catty of brown rice vinegar is 25 yuan, this half catty of koji vinegar is 30 yuan, and this half catty of soy sauce is also 30 yuan." Shook the abacus and crackled, "Okay, a total of 120 yuan, wait for the old man to send it to the inn." ”
Tang Anqing paid the money, and asked casually when he left: "Uncle, do you know where there are iron pots and dishes sold around here?" ”
"This one goes down this street to the right, and there's a store not far away." The shopkeeper said casually while putting the vinegar and soy sauce that Tang Anqing wanted to buy next to the counter.
Tang Anqing walked out of the door and changed the hand holding Puyu, "Yu'er, now let's go buy pots and dishes, and then my mother will make delicious food for our lovely Yu'er." Puyu happily shook the plucked drum in her hand, and her pink little lips opened and closed, "Eat... Eat... Jade..."Tang Anqing was so angry that he died, whose family is this unlucky child, doesn't every child in the family talk about his mother first!! This foodie! But there was no way at all, so I could only sigh secretly, and then walked to the street on the right, and soon found the shop that the old man said, and bought a larger iron pot for cooking rice, and a smaller iron pot in the store, three white porcelain bowls, six plates, and three pairs of chopsticks, a chopping board, and a few kitchen knives. I also asked the owner to send it to the inn for 280 dollars.
When I came out of that street, I happened to see a cloth shop, which looked very large. Walked in with Puyu, there were a lot of people in the store, the boss and Xiao Er couldn't say hello, so let Tang Anqing take a look for himself, Tang Anqing took a turn in the store, but the color of the fabric here is quite complete, there are several colors of each type, but these fabrics are made of linen except for silk, is there no cotton? But forget it, you can't ask for that much. On the silk side, I looked at it, and it was more suitable for Puyu to wear, at least softer than linen. "Yu'er, let's see which color you like?"
At this time, from outside the door, walked in a small moon-white embroidered fur jacket with silver rat shoulders; On his head, he holds a Suichang cloud bun (Note 1), and a red gold plaque hairpin on the hairpin, and there are no other flowers; Under the waist is tied a Yang Fei-colored embroidered cotton skirt. I saw that she was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a standard goose egg face, two curved willow eyebrows neatly trimmed, a peach-colored cherry mouth, and a little blush on her white face, which set off the girl's beauty more and more.
Along with the girl came a man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a blue robe, his black hair held up by a white hosta, and he was looking at his appearance: his face was like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, his color was like the flower of spring dawn, his temples were like a knife, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his face was like peach petals, and his eyes were like autumn waves. Standing with the girl, anyone said that they were talented and beautiful, and they were a natural pair.
Seeing two people coming in, who was still busy dealing with the guests' display case, he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, "Young master, Miss Biao, please come in, please come here." Today, the embroidery village has just sent a batch of new colors of silk, do you want to take a look? ”
"Okay, shopkeeper Liu will lead the way." The man in green clothes said, this voice was as gentle as jade, and the shopkeeper praised it again and again after hearing it, and asked Xiao Er to greet him first, and wanted to take the man and woman to the inside. Zheng Dafu, who was following the man, stood at the door and looked in, and happened to see Tang Anqing who asked Puyu to choose the color, and pointed at Tang Anqing with a trembling hand. At this time, Ouyang Wan'er also noticed Tang Anqing, although the white cat was not on her shoulder, Ouyang Wan'er thought that maybe it was the woman who was greedy for money and sold it to someone with a higher price! Hum. Xing's eyes were full of resentment, and he turned his head and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Liu, when can any kind of person come in this embroidery village?" ”
When other people who bought clothes saw this situation, they basically bought the clothes as soon as possible and paid for them and left, but Zheng Yuanwai, the richest man in Jizhou, was a person who even had to give three points to the prefect. For a while, only Tang Anqing and Puyu were left in this embroidery village, and Puyu was looking at the clothes.
When Zheng Feiyang saw this situation, he also knew that it was the woman he had met in the morning, and he was about to make Ouyang Wan'er stop talking, when he heard the woman's voice: "It turns out that Yu'er likes this color, and Xiao Er's blue one is three feet long." And this cyan one too. ”
"Hmph, I want all the blue and cyan in Shopkeeper Liu's shop, these cloths are very expensive." Ouyang Wan'er's original voice like a yellow warbler became a little sharp because of resentment, and said to the shopkeeper Liu, can you afford it, a pariah?
At this time, Tang Anqing also found something strange in the store if he had another meal, and when he turned around, he first saw the fat uncle who wanted to buy his own cat in the morning at the door, and knew that he was afraid that he had bumped into a 'cousin'. When I turned my head, I saw my 'cousin' glaring at me angrily, and 'cousin' standing next to me.
It's great to have money. I still have to buy this cloth today, "Xiao Er, why don't you sell this cloth?" The little two looked at Shopkeeper Liu with an embarrassed face, and Shopkeeper Liu also had a difficult face, and walked up to Tang Anqing, "Guest, I'm really embarrassed, or you are choosing another color." We don't sell this cloth anymore. ”
"Oh~ That's the case, should the shopkeeper tell me which fabrics you don't sell here, so that I can choose what you can sell. You say yes, Yu'er. Tang Anqing lowered his head and teased Puyu, and said, although the voice was not loud, but the entire store heard it. Shopkeeper Liu didn't know what to say for a while.
Zheng Dafu laughed first, he had seen this woman's choking mouth in the morning, but under Ouyang Wan'er's cold eyes, he suffocated the sound of laughter, and his chubby face was suffocated. Zheng Feiyang also coughed dryly, this woman is quite interesting, "Cousin Wan, don't be rash, Shopkeeper Liu took Cousin Wan to look inside to see those novel fabrics." ”
After Ouyang Wan'er listened to Zheng Feiyang's words, she became even more angry. What does it mean not to let me be rash, obviously towards that pariah. Hmph, I'm still unsatisfied, "Brother Yang, aren't people afraid that the poor man can't afford to buy the fabric of the embroidery shop?" People kindly reminded her that those things are very expensive, and I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to afford them, so I said I wanted them. ”
Tang Anqing sneered, "I'm strange, this young lady, how do you know that I don't have the money to buy these clothes?" Do you still have the power of a prophet of the unknown? So tell me how much money I have? ”
"You... How much money can you have if you dress so lowly? Even if I don't have the ability to predict the future, a discerning person will know at a glance how much money you can have, do you know how much money is the cheapest fabric in this embroidery shop? Ouyang Wan'er was almost choked by Tang Anqing's words just now, but when she swept Tang Anqing's clothes, the words in her mouth came out without her brain.
Tang Anqing didn't care about her evaluation of her clothes, but laughed, "Then this noblely dressed young lady, you tell me how much is the cheapest fabric in this embroidery shop?" Before Ouyang Wan'er could answer, she lowered her head to prevent Puyu from hearing Ouyang Wan'er's somewhat sharp voice, "Yu'er, let's not buy it here, okay?" The largest fabric village in Jizhou City is nothing more than that, so let's find a smaller fabric shop to buy the fabrics we bought. Puyu snorted a few times and shook the plucked drum in her hand.
Ouyang Wan'er pointed at Tang Anqing angrily, and when she saw the child in her arms, she snorted coldly, "It turned out to be a fool." Tang Anqing heard it, and his black and white eyes looked straight at Ouyang Wan'er, "Say it again!" ”
Zheng Feiyang frowned, but he didn't hold Ouyang Wan'er yet, "I'll just say it, what else can you do to me?" Fool fool! ”
"Smack!" A loud slap resounded throughout the embroidery village!
