Chapter 32: Brother Mo's Courtesy (2)
Walking into the courtyard, Mo Zi called Xiaoyi out.
"Lu Ju, your feminine kung fu is getting more and more powerful." Xiaoyi looked up and down with round eyes.
Lu Ju didn't dare to take credit, pointed at Mo Zi and said, "It was Mo Zi who taught well at the beginning." ”
Mo Zi was originally a soldier, and he rarely wore makeup, and he didn't know how to do it. However, the TV show is rich and colorful, and I have watched the makeup and face change technique of foreign movies a few times, and I remember some, so I told Lu Ju about it. Green chrysanthemum combed her hair and made up her hair very well, and she pondered it again, and kept experimenting on her face, and the effect was really okay.
It's not the so-called advanced disguise technique, it is to make the face look neutral, wear men's clothes, walk on the road, and will not make people stare at it because of the female appearance. Moreover, she never wants to hide from everyone, but when she walks around, dressing as a man can reduce unnecessary trouble.
Not only her, but Qiu Sanniang and Bai He are also dressed in men's clothes outside. Although businessmen who can not mind talking about business with Qiu Sanniang know that they are women, if they leave this group, the appearance of men's clothing will not attract too much attention and disgust from others. After all, women often show their faces, which is really not a commendable thing for everyone's ladies.
"Mo Zi, you go early and come back early." After Bai He finished speaking, he led Lu Ju into Qiu Sanniang's house.
Mo Zi walked to the base of the wall, and outside was the hill behind the Guanyin Hall of Ci Nian Nunnery, and at this moment the pilgrims generally stayed near the Guanyin Hall. There is a purple hall on the hill, where you can enjoy the scenery, drink tea and eat fasting meals, so it will not be more until around noon.
Xiaoyi easily loosened the wall, and saw that there was no one around, and then turned around and took Mo Zi out of the wall.
The two have cooperated like this many times, and they have a very tacit understanding.
How could the Zhang family, who didn't go out of the door, expect it? She thought that Qiu Sanniang, who was trapped in the small courtyard, was under her control, and even Qiu Sanniang's girls went out to buy snacks a few times.
Actually, walking around from the gate is just a disguise. The real walk is not far from Qiu Sanniang's remote courtyard, above the towering wall.
"I'm leaving." Mo Zi pulled up the somewhat wrinkled clothes.
"Three hundred taels of silver...... Miss She ...... Don't blame you...... If she doesn't trust you, she won't let you go out alone. Xiaoyi said clumsily with his back to Mo Zi, and ran into the forest of Qiu Mountain, not knowing which tree to climb.
Mo Zi smiled and went down the path in the opposite direction. Passing through the Kannon Hall, you will walk out of the main entrance of the temple from the increasing number of female pilgrims. Because female pilgrims also bring male servants and servants, her appearance is not abrupt. What's more, she walks with her head held high, her green sleeves are in the wind, and she is not pretentious at all, who would have thought that she was a woman.
Walk down the main gate of the temple for two minutes, and you will arrive at the temple at the foot of the mountain. This temple and a nunnery are full of incense, bringing the market in the eastern suburbs of Luoju to be very lively. Many large families choose this place to buy real estate, there are antiques, silk, gold, silver and jade, calligraphy and ink these stores are concentrated in a wide area. In the south of the mountain, farmers in the neighboring suburbs often picked fresh fruits and vegetables to sell, and soon formed a small street like a modern vegetable market. There are also people's livelihood areas where rice, oil and salt, medicinal herb shops, medical halls, snack shops, restaurants, etc. are located.
The best thing is that there is the Luo River five miles north of the eastern suburbs, and the river leads to the river, which can go to the border of South Germany. Luoju is a place where merchants from the two countries must pass through, and the trade is prosperous, and there are many large and small merchants, and it is famous for its wealth as one of the best in the country.
During the Chinese New Year, Mo Zi accompanied Qiu Sanniang to Ci Nian Nunnery once, and what she helped Sanniang do was inseparable from Luohe, so she was very familiar with this Dongcheng market town and was not afraid of getting lost.
She wore her old cloth and green shirt, and walked through the streets and alleys in the morning light. Some of the enthusiastic shopkeepers called out to Brother Mo and asked her how she was doing. She smiled and answered them one by one, walking unhurriedly.
I finally stopped in front of a bean shop, and saw that business was good inside, and five or six tables were almost full. Those coolie passers-by with patches on their clothes, a large bowl of hot soy milk or rice, nibbling on green onion flatbread, and blackened petal sauce, just like the satisfaction of eating the delicious food in the whole world.
Sitting on the humble bench by the side of the road, Mo Zichong turned his back to her, and the figure who was busy shouted, "A bowl of soy milk." ”
"Okay." The man hurriedly stayed first, and then probably heard whose voice it was, and after turning around to see it clearly, he grinned, scratched his head and ran over with a smile, "Brother Mo, you haven't been here for a long time." ”
"I've been a little busy lately." Mo Zi looked at this big man with a dark complexion, "Brother Gao, business is good." ”
"Since the few things you taught me to do, I have been in business from morning to night." Gao Zhuang was very grateful.
Gao Zhuang originally only made soy milk, tofu and bean curd, and sold them. Once Mo Zi was thirsty and wanted to drink sweet, so he entered his shop. There were no guests at that time, Gao Zhuang was about to close the shop, and when he saw that there were guests who only needed a bowl of soy milk, it was not too troublesome, so he just warmed a pot for her. Mo Zi saw that this person was quite honest, so he chatted a few words. When it comes to red mung beans, carrots, millet, and peanuts, these are cooked together, and the cost is low and filling. From cold tofu, tofu stuffed with meat and rice, to spicy tofu soup. told a few about the tofu patterns she loves to eat, but she hasn't eaten here.
Gao Zhuang was interested, and asked carefully. The first time I tried coarse grain rice, his mother gave him the name of Babao rice, which attracted a lot of customers at once. Later, the menu was made with tofu as the main ingredient, and it was also popular. Nowadays, business can be done from morning to night.
"I'll just eat." Mo Zi saw that there were guests leaving, and there were guests coming in, "You hurry up and get busy." Has your mother come back from Shangdu? ”
"I got home last night, I went to deliver a letter early in the morning, and I'm coming back soon. You can wait while drinking the pulp. After Gao Zhuang finished speaking, he went back to bring her a large bowl of soy milk, and three or four dishes of side dishes.
Mo Zi knew that it was the biggest bowl in his shop. But with his good intentions, she couldn't refuse, so she had to sit there and drink and eat slowly.
In the middle of the day, most of the soy milk in the sea bowl was drunk. Look at the guests who have no place to sit, so they have to squat on the ground, holding a bowl of hula to eat, and she wants to come back another day when she occupies a square table alone.
"Brother Mo is here?" Aunt Gao went home, and when she saw Mo Zi at a glance, she was also smiling.
"Mother, Brother Mo has been waiting for you for more than half an hour." Tall and strong hands do not stop.
"You kid, I've told you a few times, if you want to look for me, go to the house and wait. We don't have the rules of a big family, and the Lord doesn't enter the house when he's not at home. Aunt Gao beckoned.
"Auntie, everything will go smoothly on this trip to Shangdu?" Mo Zi hurriedly stood up and walked with Aunt Gao to the back room.
The shop in front, the room in the back, many small shops are like this.
"It's okay. There are always one or two that are difficult to find the master's house, but the price is lower. I don't lose or earn, forget it. Gao Da Niang pushed open the door, and behind it was a small square courtyard with three rooms.
This mother and son duo, the son grinds tofu and sells tofu, the mother is a full-time tooth mother-in-law, and a part-time matchmaker.
