Chapter 60: Xiang's Solitaire is completed
After Xiang Tianqi went out, he walked aimlessly on the street.
Unknowingly, she walked to the place where He Qiang took her to eat noodles with Cuiying, which was the first day they came to Heping Town.
Standing not far away, he quietly watched the old man busy.
The old man's craftsmanship is also good, even Xiang Tianqi, who came over in modern times, felt very appetizing after eating the old man's noodles, and praised it greatly, not to mention the people here, and the old man's stall is not short away from Hutchison, plus the time-honored brand for so many years, there are many old customers around, so the old man's business has not been affected much.
There are also women and children who eat here, and for this kind of guests, the elderly always have a little less noodles, and then ask for less than a penny, and if the guests do not ask for it, they will come according to the normal.
After looking at it for a while, Xiang Tianqi left.
In addition, there are several other noodle sellers in the town, although the business is not as good as the old man, but the overall is also very good, some of them are the same as the old man, and there are two bowls to distinguish. Xiang Tianqi wrote down the size of those bowls, bought some sugar-fried chestnuts and some melons and fruits on the side of the road and went back.
Xiang Tianqi wandered around outside for about an hour, and when he went back, the shop basically didn't have many guests, so he beckoned everyone to eat.
After eating, Xiang Tianqi took the three cards whose ink had dried to Zhenwei.
It's the end of summer, so the weather is still relatively cool. Occasionally, a small breeze blows, which makes people shout comfortably! Xiang Tianqi likes the summer and autumn handover the most, and every time she arrives at this time, she will take Li Jia to the suburbs for a walk.
So now walking on the road, Xiang Tianqi enjoys this feeling very much, not only the text here is almost the same as the world he was in before, but even the solar terms are not too bad. So all the way to Zhenwei.
Zhenwei is one of the best restaurants in town, and now there are new dishes that Xiang Tianqi regularly launches, so even if it is no longer a meal, there are still many customers in the restaurant.
When Xiang Tianqi went to Zhenwei to find Brother Zhao, he was busy.
"Brother Zhao, is Uncle Zhang here?" walked up to Brother Zhao and asked.
Little Brother Zhao was busy cleaning up, and hurriedly raised his head when he heard Xiang Tianqi's voice.
"And the girl, here, the shopkeeper is on the second floor, I'll take you up."
As he spoke, he put down the work in his hand and wiped his hands with the lap on his shoulder.
"No, you're busy, I'll just go up myself."
Xiang Tianqi stopped Brother Zhao, as soon as she came, she delayed other people's work, and she was very embarrassed.
"That's okay, anyway, the girl is not an outsider, the shopkeeper is still in the Son of Heaven room, the girl just goes directly."
Brother Zhao didn't shirk when he heard Xiang Tianqi say this. Just like he said, Xiang Tianqi is now a cherished little proprietor, and after getting acquainted with Xiang Tianqi, he understands Xiang Tianqi's temperament, and now he is in charge of the shopkeeper himself, and he doesn't entertain guests, so he doesn't see her.
Xiang Tianqi nodded and walked to the second floor by himself.
When I got to the second floor, I walked through the hallway and walked through the rooms. Listening to the sound of whispering or drinking or laughing, Xiang Tianqi not only sighed at the strength of Zhenwei Restaurant. It's half of the afternoon, and there are still so many people in the restaurant, which can be seen.
Walked to the room of the Son of Heaven and slammed the door three times.
The voice of the shopkeeper came from inside, and Xiang Tianqi pushed the door closer.
Shopkeeper Zhang saw that it was Xiang Tianqi who came, and his face was overjoyed.
"You girl, why are you free to come over today?"
"It's not like I'm missing you, so I'm going to take a look."
Xiang Tianqi said with a smile, and he didn't see anything outside, he made it directly at the table, and drank a cup of tea.
"Good tea! Uncle Zhang still has this skill. ”
Before drinking tea, Xiao Er brought it over, but today Uncle Zhang is alone, and the tea is still hot, and then look at the boiling hot water next to it, it is obviously brewed by himself.
"Yo, at a young age, you still know tea"
Shopkeeper Zhang looked more and more familiar, and of course, someone who was becoming more and more unruly joked.
"I don't understand, but it's good to drink and smell good, it's good tea."
Watching Xiang Tianqi open his mouth, the shopkeeper Zhang, who was waiting to see what Xiang Tianqi had to say, was stunned by the sudden and straightforward explanation of God. Apparently I didn't expect her to say that, and she was ashamed and serious.
The shopkeeper couldn't cry or laugh. At the same time, I wondered how I really expected her to say one, two, three.
Shaking his head, he shook the incredible thought out of his head.
"Tell me, what's the matter with today?" As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea.
"Hehe, it's nothing, just ask, see if you have any red ink here."
Xiang Tianqi said his intention this time, and after speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper with a pair of big eyes, and blinked as if to say, is there any, is there any?
"Oh, Hongmo, yes, what do you want to do here, you don't look like you can paint like this."
Shopkeeper Zhang also glanced at Xiang Tianqi up and down as he spoke, and the disgust in his eyes couldn't stop.
Xiang Tianqi looked at the shopkeeper's expression, gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth. But suddenly it calmed down.
Silently took out the half-made cards from the small bag he carried.
"Alas, my poor solitaire, I'm afraid I'm going to let you be dusted forever, it's not that I'm ruthless, but I don't have anything to make you complete."
As he spoke, he glanced at the shopkeeper with his eyes. He was still playing with cards.
When Xiang Tianqi took out the cards, the shopkeeper looked at the strange pieces of paper and had a premonition in his heart, and sure enough, he heard Xiang Tianqi talking about cards.
"Hehe, girl, this red ink is there, although you can't paint, but it doesn't matter, you can use as much Zhang Bo as you want."
For this card shopkeeper is also out of his face, faster than the face of a June child.
Xiang Tianqi took out all three cards and spoke with an expression and tone that was not as knowledgeable as you.
"Well, I have made a total of three paintings, I have two pairs of you, and I am almost red ink, and I can make it today."
Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes rolled and he made three paintings.
"Come on, girl, I'll give you a hand, tell me how to do it."
The tone was very attentive, such a shopkeeper made Xiang Tianqi feel very unfamiliar, and the image of the elegant scholar in his heart collapsed.
I can't help but hold my forehead, for this card, Uncle Zhang, your old image!!
Since someone is working, Xiang Tianqi is at ease.
"Well, just like these, but with red ink."
Xiang Tianqi asked the shopkeeper Zhang to look at it and told him how to do it.
Shopkeeper Zhang took Xiang Tianqi's semi-finished products over and studied them carefully, and was a little surprised when he saw the numbers on the paper with carbon pens, what kind of pen was written out, the tip of the pen was smooth and black, but there was no ink fragrance.
"Girl, what is this written in" Shopkeeper Zhang was curious, so he asked.
Xiang Tianqi was taken aback. I forgot about it.
"Oh, this is a pen from my hometown, I brought one with me when I came, but I ran out of money because I made this."
After a brief explanation, I told the shopkeeper that he had run out, so you should stop worrying about this and hurry up and get the rest of it.
Shopkeeper Zhang obviously understood, so he didn't ask any more questions, took the cards and walked to the inner room.
Xiang Tianqi waited quietly, drinking the tea made by Uncle Zhang.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out, still holding two in his hand.
"Girl, why are there a few blanks left?"
Yes, those two blank ones were the two that should have been the big and small kings, but Xiang Tianqi suffered.
This king is definitely inappropriate, and he must not be able to use this word in this ancient era with strict etiquette, let alone an emperor or empress.
Originally, she planned to use big and small ghosts, but after thinking about it, the religious superstition of the ancient people was also very serious, and it was estimated that she couldn't use it. That's why it wasn't adopted.
"Uncle Zhang, these two cards are actually big and small ghosts in our place, but I don't know if they can be used here, I'm afraid there are some taboos. So ......"
After speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper, since he couldn't think of it, let this native ancient man think about it.
"That's it, that's really a bit inappropriate, this ghost still needs to be respected."
Shopkeeper Zhang said and nodded. I thought about it for a while.
"Or replace it with the elder and the youngest."
The shopkeeper thought for a while and felt that these two cards have particularity, so that special words must be used and the size must be explained, but the special words can explain the order such as heaven and earth, officials and people, and so on are not suitable. Some titles should be avoided, such as emperors and queens, kings and ghosts.
So after thinking about it, I used these two words, which have been orderly since ancient times, so that there is no need to be taboo about the size of the child.
Xiang Tianqi thought about it, although this sounded a little weird, but there was no better way at the moment, so he agreed.
The shopkeeper went into the inner room to draw the blank cards, and then waited for the ink to dry.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the ink was all dry, and the shopkeeper took out the card and handed it to Xiang Tianqi, but his expression was full of deep meaning.
Xiang Tianqi gave Shopkeeper Zhang a roll of the eyes regardless of her image, she hated how she could see it so clearly!
"Okay, okay, I'll leave you two pairs, I'll take one pair."
The shopkeeper smiled and was satisfied, and took back the two decks of cards in his hand.
It's not early, Xiang Tianqi is leaving, Shopkeeper Zhang has to leave Xiang Tianqi after eating, Xiang Tianqi thought about it and it would be good to go with Heqiang and them, so he agreed.
Because Xiang Tianqi was there, Shopkeeper Zhang called He Qiang and Qiu to the second floor, and several people had dinner together.
He Qiang and the others still had questions when they saw Xiang Tianqi, and they didn't hear her say that they wanted to come over today, why is this point here. When I saw the cards in my hand, I realized that it was to send cards to the shopkeeper.
After a few people finished eating, they said goodbye to the shopkeeper and left, but in view of the fact that he left two decks of cards here, he had to do it again when he went back, and Xiang Tianqi didn't want to run again, so he took away a piece of red ink from the shopkeeper. made the shopkeeper laugh at her, and she didn't lose at all.
Tianqi's answer to this item is, "The shop has just opened, and there is still such a large family of people, and they can use money everywhere, and they can save a little bit." ”
All three men were speechless.
