Two days after signing the contract, Liu Yuan really found a blacksmith master to make the oven. Although Lin Zhenniang drew the drawings, she still found an excuse to meet with the blacksmith in person, and explained in detail the tools she used to make the pancakes.

She only thought that her request should be something that the blacksmith had never done, but she didn't want the master who was not tall, but the person was stout, and the master with a pair of arms and muscles rolled his eyes, "Isn't this just a tweezer?" Although it is slightly different from what I did before, it is generally the same, although the little lady can rest assured, you will be satisfied with it. ”

was said to be hot, Lin Zhenniang didn't want to say anything else, and it was not good to stay in the hot iron shop, so she could only say two good words and quit. Fortunately, the blacksmith hadn't said that he had seen ovens and the molds she had drawn before, otherwise she would have had a much lower stake in this skill.

Turning the corner of the street, Lin Zhenniang looked at the floating cloth from a distance, and couldn't help but stop. It was a blue-on-blue red-edged banner, and the word "tile" was written on it. When you see this front, you know that this is close to the tile. To say that this tile shop is a first-class prosperous place in this Great Song Dynasty.

In modern terms, this is a commercial complex, the equivalent of a pedestrian street for future generations. From food to clothing, from use to play, as long as you want to buy, you can find and sell it in the tile shop.

And these things that can be bought in ordinary markets outside are not the most attractive part of the tile shop. If you want to say that it is attractive, it is still a hook in the tile. This hook railing, similar to the theater of later generations, is separated by a curtain or railing, so it is called a hook railing. In the hook bar, there are singing and singing every night, there are singing and dancing, singing and acting, and juggling, which is simply a super entertainment place.

It is because of these performances that the tile shop has become a unique landscape in the Great Song Dynasty. However, in the tile shop, there is another reason that deters women, that is, the brothel of the green building. A man's amorous town, and an insulating place for a good woman. Every night, the bright flags flutter, the spring color is boundless, the laughter and laughter, even overshadowing the singing in the hook column.

Because of this, there are still women who come to play in the tile shop during the day, and at night, if it is not necessary, women from good families rarely enter the tile shop to play. Last time she brought Lin Jing out, Lin Jing wanted to come to the tile to play, but at that time, Lin Zhenniang wanted to go to the vegetable market, so she didn't come here at all.

Now, looking at the pretense of tiles from a distance, Lin Zhenniang's heart is like an ant crawling, and her heart is itching.

That day, when she heard Liu Yuan talk about tiles, she moved her mind. Dingtao is a small county town, although it is rich, but there are not many floating populations. If she really wanted to sell the pancakes, there was no better place to go than this bustling brick shop. If you can spend money to check the column to see the excitement, you must have a few spare money in your purse, so you naturally don't care about spending a few dollars to buy a new food to try.

Biting her lip and standing at this end of the street for a while, Lin Zhenniang still walked into the tile shop. It's not yet noon, and it's not very lively. Not to mention the shops, there are stalls on the street. Selling rouge and gouache, selling cloth needlework, selling jewelry and toys, at a glance, most of them are things that women and children like. There were more than a dozen small food stalls gathered in one place, and when they saw Lin Zhenniang, they greeted one after another.

"Girl, let's skewer the frogs! If you don't eat it at this time, you won't have it in a few days! It's not expensive, it's only a penny a string...... "Roasted red frogs, there is only one skewer, and I don't know what ingredients are used, although it is a little different from modern barbecue, but it is also a nasal fragrance."

This kind of roasted frog is the most popular snack this year, and if it is summer, it is common to see children munching on a skewer in their hands when walking on the street.

In addition to this roasted frog, there are also those who carry the box to sell caramel candy, knock the hammer and the shovel to a tinkling sound, and if anyone asks for it, knock down a small piece.

"Pure malt boiled, eat it without sticking to your teeth!"

There are also fried shrimp wrapped in oiled paper, a small handful, which are transported from the seaside. There is also freshly marinated cooked food, chopped, wrapped in lotus leaves, and eaten with small wooden skewers. The big wonton is wrapped in a thick soup with a fresh flavor and the fragrance of chopped green onions and turnips.

Although she ate, but smelling the fragrance, Lin Zhenniang still felt hungry. Touching her purse, she didn't buy the meat or snacks, but asked for a bowl of wontons.

This wonton, like the Shandong pancakes she wants to make, is full of stomachs, and it can be regarded as a very competitive opponent. Now take a good look at it, and you can be regarded as knowing yourself and your opponent.

This wonton in the north is not the same as wonton and copying in the south. The skin of the southern copying hand is very thin, and the filling is not big, if it is cooked and not eaten immediately, it will soon be soft, and the soaked copying hand will not be eaten at all. The northern wonton skin is slightly thicker, all wrapped like small ingots, boiled out beautiful, as long as the time is not too long, it will not be soaked softly, and the taste is more strong. Therefore, in later generations, Lin Zhenniang preferred to eat wontons from the north.

Today, the wonton filling is big, but the taste is not so fresh. The soup is fine, it has the taste of chicken soup. According to the stall owner, this soup is old chicken soup, thick and fragrant, but Lin Zhenniang can eat it, this is just a soup made of chicken mixed with water. Stocks like this are usually freshened when stir-frying. In the Great Song Dynasty, where there is no monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, this is even more so. As soon as the broth is boiled, it has to be warmed every day, and when it takes a little longer, the chicken or meat bones in it have to be replaced. Like the current wonton soup, the chicken used in the broth may take a little longer, and the taste will not be as fresh as it was at the beginning.

But for a food stall like this, it is willing to use stock to make soup, which can be regarded as a cost. Seeing the diners sitting on the edge of the small table, I also know that this wonton stall is quite popular.

Lin Zhenniang held the bowl and looked around while eating.

At this time, it is not the time to perform, so there are not many people who come to see the excitement, and the past is either those idlers who like to wander around the tile shop in the market, or the artists who perform in the tile shop.

Just sitting here for a moment, she saw several young men and girls in short shirts passing by. A strong suit, it looks a lot like the kung fu clothes of later generations, but it is slightly different. It's just that the wrists and ankles are tightened with wrist guards, the men wear flat-soled fast boots, and the women wear a pair of heavenly feet, or pink or red embroidered shoes, which are exposed without care.

At this time, it was not yet fashionable to wrap small feet. I heard that only those popular ladies will wrap their feet in order to make their feet look thinner, but they are only wrapped in thin rather than wrapped into a deformed three-inch golden lotus.

However, even if they don't wrap their feet, women from good families will generally wear long skirts and hide embroidered shoes under their skirts, and the young lady in the Qinglou will not show their embroidered shoes. Only these geisha, who do acrobatic performances, will show their feet.

Because it was the first time she saw a woman revealing her embroidered shoes, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help but look at the girl who was walking by the wonton stall.

I only heard the girl in the pink shoes complaining to the sisters around her, "If you can't stand up this time, you can only go to the 'jungle'." If that's the case, our team really has no future! I knew that I might as well transfer to the Kikusen class in Tokyo! ”

The girl in pink shoes has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she is gorgeous, while the girl wearing cyan embroidered shoes next to her is ordinary, and she has some freckles on her face, but she has a pair of big eyes but looks very energetic. The girl in pink shoes was full of arrogance when she spoke, apparently because she was very conceited because of her appearance. The girl in green shoes is more peaceful.

"You don't want to say such things again, if you really want to go to the Juxian class, why did you leave Tokyo City with us? Everyone in the city knows that the Juxian class is popular in Beijing, and it doesn't rely on skills, so why bother with them for innocent daughters like us? ”

The two girls had gone so far that she could not hear what they were saying. Although he was a little curious, he naturally didn't follow and eavesdrop, but only said to himself: "What is 'jungle'?" ”

Before she could say this, she heard a chuckle from someone next to her. She turned around, but it was a man sitting behind her, coughing softly with his mouth covered.

Although she was sure that it was this man who laughed at her, Lin Zhenniang just pursed the corners of her mouth and did not make a sound.

The man coughed enough, but he raised his head and looked at Lin Zhenniang, with a gentle smile on his fair face. This man was born very well, what kind of face is powdered, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and Pan An's appearance is what he is talking about. From the bottom of his heart, this man is indeed the first beautiful man Lin Zhenniang saw after waking up.

Seeing Lin Zhenniang's momentary gaze, the smile on the man's face was a little gentle, "Little lady, that 'jungler' is said that the skills of an acrobatic class are not good, and there is no way to perform in various tiles, so you can only perform on the street, and live in exile in various states and counties - like that, it is a trick of the middle and the low, and in this industry, it is the most despised." ”

Lin Zhenniang let out an "oh" and woke up from the initial amazement. This man, only about twenty years old, knows so much about the rules of the tile shop, and obviously he is also begging for a living in the tile shop. It's just that he is wearing a long shirt, and he is not wearing a short fight like the acrobatic boy he just saw. I don't know what it does.

Retracting her gaze, she took out her purse and counted the three pennies with the chubby boss. was about to get up and leave, but suddenly heard a rough voice and said, "Hey, Mr. Shen is here!" Miss Mei in our building still asked the little one to come to you! She said that she didn't know how to sing the song last time, so I want you to go and talk to her a few more times......"

The handsome man raised his eyebrows and said "oh" lazily, then he counted the money and threw it on the table, "Tell Miss Mei that I will go to Chunmanlou when I am free." As he spoke, he took a step, but suddenly turned his head and smiled at Lin Zhenniang, "Little lady, there will be a meeting later......

Seeing that the man turned around with a smile and walked away slowly, Lin Zhenniang lost her mind for a moment before she reacted: What does this man mean? Laughing at her like that, what else will happen later?! Could it be that he was seducing her?
