Chapter 176: The Yellow-Faced Woman
"Have you ever heard that Sweet Island's new almond tofu can make people whiter. My neighbor ate it for less than ten days, and the tender skin could pinch out the water. ”
"Your neighbor? Is it the one who stays at home all day and doesn't go out? ”
"Yes."
"She's never been exposed to the sun, isn't it normal for her to turn white?"
"Don't you know, since she has the sunscreen umbrella of Sweet Island, she no longer spends all day at home like before, and now she runs out all day long, and she always picks the sun when it is poisonous. I asked her, and she said that it was only after eating the almond tofu of Sweet Island that it turned white, and the shopkeeper of Sweet Island Xia also promised that the money would be refunded if it was not white. ”
"Really? I'm afraid this thing isn't cheap, how much silver does it cost? Ruyi Zhai's golden swiftlet's nest porridge costs twenty taels and one bowl, and if it is the same as this price, I can't afford to eat it for ten days in a row. ”
"My neighbor said that this almond tofu only costs one or two pieces of silver."
"What! Or! And this kind of good thing! Let's go, let's go buy some and try it. ”
The same thing happened in various places in Qin County, and it didn't take long for all kinds of women to be crowded outside Sweet Island, and Yingying Yanyan was so lively.
The men who came to line up had never seen this kind of battle, even in the most popular fat powder shop in Qin County, and they had never seen so many women crowded together.
With the idea that good men don't fight with women, gradually outside the sweet island, the habit of women lining up in the morning and men lining up in the afternoon has gradually formed.
And those women who have been eating almond tofu for several days in a row have gradually begun to change their faces.
"Sister-in-law Yang, why do I look at you differently than before?" The woman in yellow looked at the woman in pink beside her and couldn't help asking.
"What's the difference?"
"Your complexion has improved." The woman in yellow took a closer look, "The complexion is much whiter than before, Sister-in-law Yang, this is summer, and you didn't go out to bask in the sun in the past, why didn't you turn white instead of black?" ”
"Really turned white?" The woman touched her face excitedly, "What she said is true, she didn't lie to me!" ”
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?" The woman in yellow looked curious, "Tell me, how did you turn white in such a short period of time?" ”
"Simple." The woman in pink came back to her senses from her excitement and said with a smile, "Just eat more almond tofu." ”
"Almond tofu? What is that? The woman in yellow searched in her mind and found that she had never heard this name, so she asked suspiciously.
"As the name suggests, it's tofu made from almonds." The woman in pink glanced at the woman in yellow, "It's not that I said you, in addition to washing and cooking for your father-in-law all day long, what else have you cared about, and you haven't even heard of almond tofu." Then let me ask you, have you heard of Sweet Island? ”
"Listen...... I've heard my father-in-law mention that he often goes there. The woman in yellow lowered her head with a red face and muttered in a low voice, "As a woman, it is my duty to teach my husband and children, and it is my blessing to serve him well." ”
"Phew." The woman in pink frowned, "We all see how good you are to him, but what is he like to you?" You've heard of Sweet Isle, but have you ever eaten Sweet Isle's shaved ice? ”
"Eat...... I've eaten it, but I think it'...... That thing is not delicious at all, it is better to eat watermelon in the house on a hot day to relieve the heat. The woman in yellow looked at her eyes and didn't dare to look at the eyes of the woman in pink.
"I knew you would say that." The woman in pink sighed hatefully, "If you had really eaten shaved ice, you wouldn't compare watermelon to it." You are really considerate, let you eat watermelon in the house on a hot day, and he poured himself to the sweet island to cool off. ”
"Xianggong he...... He was afraid that I would get sunburned, so he ...... That's why I was kept at home. The woman in yellow stammered.
"Alright, alright, don't speak for him." The woman in pink looked dissatisfied, "Is it a reason to shine?" With the umbrella of Sweet Island's characteristics, there is not much sun at all. Don't you know, almost half of the people who have been queuing up on Sweet Island recently are husband and wife who go together, from the old husband and wife in their seventies and eighties, to the newlyweds, none of them are afraid of being sunburned, but they all look happy. If it weren't for your eldest brother's absence, I would have let him accompany me. ”
"Sister-in-law Yang, I'm ...... If my husband doesn't take me, he must have his deep meaning. The woman in yellow lowered her head, she said this to explain to the woman in pink, and to comfort herself, even she didn't believe it.
"What a deep meaning." The woman in pink sneered, "I think I want to take a little lover with me." ”
"Sister-in-law, my husband doesn't have the idea of taking a concubine at all." The woman in yellow bit her lip tightly, as if she had made up her mind, "Even if he really wants to take a concubine, I'...... I can't stand in the way. ”
"Hey, I really didn't see that you were so pot-bellied." The woman in pink chuckled, "You don't know how to dress up all day, you only know the character of working with your head covered, if your husband brings in a few concubines, you will be bullied to death by them sooner or later." ”
"No...... No, the husband is not the kind of person who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, he ...... He categorically wouldn't let that happen. ”
"That's what you really think?" The woman in pink asked with a smile.
"I ...... I ......" The woman in yellow buried her head deeply, not knowing how to answer.
Her father-in-law didn't feel for her for a long time, and even if he saw her at home, he just didn't even say hello as if he saw a subordinate.
Although he still lived at home at night, the two had already slept in separate beds, and he ran away as soon as it was dawn.
She already felt that her husband was afraid that there were people outside.
"If I were your husband, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you." The woman in pink smiled as if she knew what she was thinking, "Look at your yellow face and rough fingers, what can attract your husband?" ”
"I ...... I am already married, and if I only know how to dress up all day long, it will not be against the way of women? ”
"Nonsense." The woman in pink looked dissatisfied, "Women are the ones who please themselves, let's dress up to let our husbands see, and we don't go out to seduce other men, why are we involved in women's ways?" You tell me the truth, don't you have the slightest envy when you see me suddenly turn white? ”
"Of course I envy." The woman in yellow hurriedly nodded.
"Isn't that over, it means that you also want to be beautiful in your heart." The woman in pink said and took the hand of the woman in yellow, "I can't understand it with my mouth, so I might as well take you directly to Sweet Island to have a look, and when you eat for a few days, it will definitely become much better than now." ”
"Now? No way. The woman in yellow struggled slightly, "I still have to go home to make lunch for my husband, shall we go another day?" ”
"What else do you cook?" The woman in pink couldn't cry or laugh, "Who doesn't know that your husband doesn't eat at home at all during the day, even if you cook the meal, it's useless, and if you have that money, it's better to buy a few more almond tofu to eat." Alright, don't hesitate, come with me. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the woman in yellow to speak again, she directly pulled her towards Sweet Island.
When the two came to Sweet Island, just after the end of the day, there was already a long queue outside the shop.
At this time, the sun had risen, and the people in line opened their umbrellas, and the woman in pink also stretched out her own umbrella and hit her and the woman in yellow on the head.
"Look, with this umbrella, it's not sunny at all, right?" The woman in pink smiled smugly.
"Hmm." The woman in yellow nodded, constantly looking at the people lining up in front of them.
Indeed, as the woman in pink said, most of the men and women who lined up outside the Sweet Island accounted for a large part, and the rest were some women and very few men.
And most of the women in line have white and tender skin, which is really like tofu.
"Sister-in-law Yang, isn't it liked by male guests here?" The woman in yellow asked curiously, "But my husband said that he likes to come here the most." ”
"There used to be a lot of male customers in line." The woman in pink smiled, "But since the launch of Almond Tofu on Sweet Island, there have been more and more female customers, and it is really inconvenient for men and women to line up together, so those male guests consciously wait until the afternoon to come, and the female guests usually come in the morning." Some of the men queuing up here are to accompany their daughters-in-law, and some of them are estimated to be unable to endure the afternoon, after all, the shaved ice and almond tofu on Sweet Island are really delicious, and if I don't eat them for a day, I feel that something is missing. ”
Hearing the explanation of the woman in pink, the woman in yellow looked at the female guests with her male companions, looking at their shy, playful or angry looks, and somehow suddenly gave birth to a sense of envy, if only her husband could bring her with her.
Because Sweet Island can now receive five tables of guests at the same time, it didn't take long for the two women in pink to take their turn.
"Shopkeeper Xia, I want a portion of almond tofu and a grape-flavored shaved ice to eat here." After the woman in pink finished speaking to Xia Yan, she turned her head to look at the woman in yellow, "Sister, what do you want to eat, you're welcome, I'm in for a treat today." ”
"I ......" The woman in yellow hesitated for a long time, looked up and saw the sign behind Xia Yan, and saw a lot of things written on it that she hadn't heard of, and couldn't help but look at it curiously.
"This sister." Xia Yan smiled, "The sign behind me says the food and price sold today, just read it to me which one you want to eat." ”
The woman in yellow nodded, and said, "I want a portion of almond tofu and a portion of ...... Strawberry-flavored shaved ice. ”
"Okay, wait a minute." However, after a while, Xia Yan took out the things that the two of them wanted, handed them to them, and said with a smile, "Two sisters, please use it slowly." ”
"Shopkeeper Xia's mouth is still so sweet." The woman in pink was called her sister by Xia Yan, and she couldn't be happy.
You must know that her age is probably enough to be the mother of this little girl, and being called a sister by her at the moment is not more proof that she is young?
The two of them were in a good mood, chatted with Xia Yan for a few more words, and then came to the table with the things they ordered, and ate slowly.
