Chapter 22: The First Time in Town
"Brother, you have something to do with me."
In front of the desk in the room, Zhou Duchan was practicing calligraphy, and when he heard the voice, he raised his head, looking at Zhou Anhui's dress, there was a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, "Where are you going to go?" ”
Zhou Anhui pinched the corner of her clothes and said softly: "I'm not going anywhere, Xiaocui and I are going to go to the town to catch the market, I haven't been to the town for so long since I've been here." ”
Zhou Duchan stopped writing, looked at Zhou Anhui, and said lightly: "Your birthday will pass early, and tomorrow will be fine." ”
"Brother, my birthday is still half a month away, and you are too early and too casual."
"Then you won't go out today."
As soon as she heard her eldest brother say this, Zhou Anhui hurriedly stepped forward, lay on the table, and said with a flattering face: "Brother, you can celebrate my birthday whenever you want." ”
Zhou Duchan put down the brush in his hand, picked up the tea on the table, blew it gently, took a sip, and looked satisfied, "Let the housekeeper send someone to follow you, go early and return early, don't make trouble, don't run around, don't get rid of the people who follow." ”
"Brother, you let Xiao Qi go out with me today."
Zhou Duchan thought for a while, he didn't go out if he didn't have anything to do today, and he thought that it should be enough to keep Xiaosi by his side, and then nodded and agreed.
Looking at her brother's handsome face, Zhou Anhui sighed in her heart, alas, why does her brother look better than herself.
Watching her brother take one sip after another, Zhou Anhui sniffed, and with Zhou Duchan's gentle playing, bursts of aroma hit.
The aroma is strong, fresh and pleasant, Zhou Anhui couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what kind of tea are you drinking so good." ”
"Not only does it smell good, but it also tastes good." Zhou Duchan shook the teacup in front of Zhou Anhui.
The fragrance became stronger, Zhou Anhui looked at her brother's enjoyment, and couldn't help but say, "Brother, give me a taste." ”
Zhou Duchan raised his head and drank it all, wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly, and smiled lightly: "No, it's not early, you can go out." ”
"Cut, it's so stingy, if you don't give it, you won't give it, I'll go out to eat delicious food and drink by myself, I won't bring it to you, hum."
Out of Zhou Duchan's study, Zhou Anhui made a grimace, closed the door gently, and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he couldn't get out today, but now he can go out in a bright light.
Seeing Zhou Anhui coming out, his eyes fell on him, and Xiao Qi hid behind Xiao Si, wishing that he could be invisible.
Zhou Anhui smiled lightly at Xiao Qi, "Xiao Cui, let's go to the town." ”
Seeing that the young lady walked away, Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and escaped the catastrophe.
Xiao Si put his arm on Xiao Qi's shoulders and looked at Xiao Qi's appearance, "You're so afraid of Miss." ”
Xiao Qi pushed away Xiao Si's hand on his shoulder, "Don't always press me like this, I won't grow tall." ”
After a while, the maid Xiaocui came back again, and shouted loudly, "Xiao Qi, Miss instructed the thatched house and toilet in the house to be cleaned and cleaned by you this month, and Miss said that she borrowed you from the young master for a day, and today you go out with Miss, hurry up, Miss."
Wait for that at the door. After saying that, he turned around and ran.
Hearing this, Xiao Qi's whole person was frightened, and Xiao Si hurriedly stood away from Xiao Qi, for fear that he would also be affected.
Miss is really ruthless, and everyone in the house knows that Xiao Qiai is clean and clean.
Seeing the little girl jumping away, Xiao Si dared to step forward and touched Xiao Qi's drooping head with some sympathy, and comforted: "Xiao Qi, don't worry, I won't think you stink." ”
Xiao Qimian felt that it would be very difficult to go out with Miss today, and the whole person was wilted, and he reluctantly followed.
Here Xiaoman was sleeping soundly on the ox cart, and was woken up by a burst of fragrance, and when he opened his eyes, he had arrived in the town, which was a bit like the scene that Ling Wei had seen when she went to the ancient town to play, there were many small alleys, the road was not too wide, there were shops all around, and both sides of the road were also
There are many small vendors, I don't know if there were chengguan in ancient times who drove people every day, Ling Wei looked at everything around her and was very curious.
The time is just right, the people on the street are not lively, the most lively is a variety of stalls selling breakfast, steaming steamed buns, the fragrance is attractive, I haven't eaten anything in the morning, Xiaoman touched his stomach and felt that his five internal organs temple was in trouble
Famine, gurgling.
Seeing Xiao Man staring directly at the meat buns on the side stall, Gu asked Gu Dashan to stop the car and wait on the side of the road, and got out of the car and bought three meat buns in front of the bun stall.
The buns are white and chubby and steaming, and some of them are hot and Xiaoman took a bite gently, well, the skin is thin and there is a lot of filling.
Gu Shi looked at Xiao Man's satisfied little appearance, and touched Xiao Man's hair bun with love.
The three of them finished eating the buns on the ox cart and continued to walk into the city, the road became wider and wider, there were few vendors, most of them were shops, and the doors and flags were almost the same, which was much worse than the decoration of the modern house plates.
Along the way, Xiaoman saw a stall selling vegetables and fruits, so he went back to ask the price and figured out the market.
In a place full of restaurants and inns, Xiao Man asked Gu Dashan to find a relatively spacious corner and stop.
Xiao Man looked carefully, and now the restaurant and inn only have a small door, and they all come out to sell ingredients.
Opened the broken sack covered by the car, revealing the things in the frame, Xiao Man stood in the car and cleared his throat, "Everyone from the south and the north has a look, there are all kinds of vegetables, fruits and game, buy more and give away, the quantity is limited, first come, first served." ”
Xiao Man shouted and picked up the big carp in his hand to show it, and soon someone came out of the restaurant, and Xiao Man came in their car.
"This fish is good, is it fresh?" A middle-aged man in a gray robe spoke.
Xiao Man greeted warmly, "The shopkeeper's good eyesight, this is a carp caught in the spring water on the mountain, but it doesn't grow in an ordinary river. ”
"How did you sell it?"
Xiao Man glanced at Gu, and Gu hurriedly said, "Five cents a pound."
"Okay, get me a four."
Xiaoman found an embarrassing problem, he didn't bring a scale.
Xiao Man whispered to Gu's: "Mother, we don't have a scale, how can we scale." ”
Gu Dashan on the side took the fish in his hand unhurriedly and checked it, "The fish of the shopkeeper is six catties, only a little more, we came today in a hurry and forgot to bring the scale, if you feel that it is less, you can just find a scale to scale." ”
Without waiting for the shopkeeper's answer, someone next to him opened his mouth to answer, "This is simple, there must be a scale in the shopkeeper Li's shop, just let the guys in the store bring it." ”
I saw that the shopkeeper Li turned around and shouted towards this restaurant: "Wang Er brought the scales." ”
After a while, the scales came over, and Gu Dashan passed the four fish selected by the shopkeeper to the scales, a total of twenty-six catties.
When Xiao Man heard this, he calculated in his heart, and opened his mouth to report one hundred and thirty articles.
Shopkeeper Li unhurriedly took out a delicate little abacus from his sleeve, gently dialed it a few times, and looked at Xiao Man with a look of disbelief.
