Chapter 15 Teahouse I

Previous Chapter

In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the willow tree in the city of Gusu draws new shoots, the tender green color floats and sinks with the breeze, the peach tree next to the canal has budded at the beginning, and it is not opened, a wisp of fragrance floats into the tip of the nose of the passerby, and the people who are busy carrying goods on the canal smell this fragrance, immediately wake up a lot, and work harder.

Under the peach tree, a small teahouse fell there steadily, the teahouse beckons swaggered with the breeze, and the sound of roasting tea came from the teahouse, the sound of the spatula and the pot colliding, following the fragrance and smelling, a middle-aged woman in the courtyard, wearing a linen shirt, rolling up her sleeves, was vigorously stir-frying the oily, fresh and dewy new leaves that had just been picked.

A big yellow dog came out of front of the gate, slipped to the woman's feet, spun around, knocked over a basket of tea leaves that had just been picked, and the woman stared at her with apricot eyes, and was angry!! ”

A little girl pressed two buns, two peach blossoms pinned to the pigtails, covered her ears when she was about four or five years old, poked out her smart eyes from the door, and shouted timidly, "A-Niang!" “

The woman's angry eyes soared to the sky, and she raised her hand to fight the rhubarb, the big yellow dog was beaten and barked, and ran to the door in a blink of an eye, the little girl whistled, and the rhubarb followed her, and the woman shouted, "Sibao, don't protect it, see if I don't pick your skin today!" ”

Sibao rolled his eyes, whistled loudly, and shouted, "Rhubarb, run!" The woman had already chased out of the door, looked at the little figure that was getting farther and farther away, and shouted, "Sibao, you dare to come back and try again!! “

Sibao waved his hand, indicating that he knew, and then the woman shook her head, sighed and went back to the house, looked at the mess of tea leaves all over the ground, sighed, and cleaned it up like resignation.

And in this box, Sibao ran all the way with Rhubarb, shuttling through the streets and alleys, and the laughter like silver bells floated in Gusu in March, and finally, they stopped, Sibao sat next to the canal, with a little girl, and Rhubarb also sat down next to her.

Sibao touched Rhubarb's head and said like a lesson, "Rhubarb, I don't listen to A-Niang's words, you have to listen, otherwise, you won't have good fruit to eat in the future!" The soft and glutinous child's voice, the immature little chubby hand touched the rhubarb's head and combed its hair.

Rhubarb whimpered as if he understood, lying on his stomach obediently, there were bursts of water ripples in the river, and a canopy boat swayed over, Sibao's eyes lit up, looked at the people on the boat, and waved his little fat hand, "Uncle Ayong, why are you here?" “

A white-haired old man was dressed in a lily coat and carrying a hat on his back, and said with a happy smile, "Sibao, you're in trouble again!" “

Sibao pouted, and said awkwardly, "It's not" but his hand twisted the corner of his clothes, looking awkward, and when he got home, Sibao stood at the door timidly with the corners of his clothes, refusing to go in anyway.

Ah Niang's words seemed to be still in her ears, and what appeared in front of her was Ah Niang's angry face, Sibao puffed out her mouth, walking around in front of the door, her fingers constantly twisting the corners of her clothes.

It's Rhubarb, who is disobedient, very happy to see that he went home, barking at the door, and he didn't enter the door for a while and couldn't see it, Sibao didn't think well, and didn't think much about turning around and raising his feet to leave.

A plain hand suddenly stretched out from behind him, tugging at Sibao's ear vigorously, "What? Where else do you want to slip away! Sibao tugged at his ears, and finally took A-Niang's claws away, rubbed his reddened ears, and reluctantly turned around.

Timidly shouted "Auntie!" A-Niang snorted angrily, "You still know to come back, little bastard!" Hearing A-Niang's tone softened, Sibao knew that A-Niang's anger had disappeared, which was good!

The four babies jumped into A-Niang's arms, hugged her thighs, buried their heads in A-Niang's arms, rubbed like a little milk dog, and sniffed the delicious tea fragrance on A-Niang's clothes.

"Auntie, don't be angry, okay?" Sibao grabbed A-Niang's clothes and shook them, begging, A-Niang suddenly laughed, picked up Sibao, scratched her little nose and said half-angrily, "You little bastard, I really can't do anything about you!" ”

Sibao happily rubbed A-Niang's face, and suddenly kissed, "A-Niang is the best!" A-Niang looked at her with a disgusted expression, but Sibao didn't care, A-Niang had to shake her head and carry Sibao into the house, she was a living ancestor!

can't beat, can't scold, but there is no way to take her.

On the second day, the wind is clear and clear, the weather is so refreshing, neither hot nor cold, the spring wind blows on the people as if it tickles people, the teahouse is full of people early in the morning, there are merchants everywhere, walking porters, after a while, the teahouse is full.

Ah Niang was a little overwhelmed to deal with so many people by herself, and shouted loudly, "Four treasures!" ”

A pink round ball immediately rolled out of the door, with a white cloth on his shoulder, a pair of shopkeepers, and he didn't wait for Ah Niang's orders, and he was busy greeting the guest officer.

"Guest, what are you drinking?" The little man looked full of posture, and the people who came were happy, and saw that he was greeted by a white and tender little doll carved in pink, and his face was eager to pinch out the water, and he resisted the urge to pinch her face in his heart, "A stack of buns, a pot of tea"

"Okay! You wait," Sibao said and went to get things non-stop, but the height was there, and he couldn't get it, so Sibao had to work hard to get it, and it was a little bit worse. Sibao turned around, trying to find someone to help, and when he turned around, he found countless pairs of eyes staring at her, looking worriedly, for fear that she would accidentally fall down.

When Sibao turned around, everyone immediately looked away, what to do, and the crowd was full of voices. Sibao sighed, he wanted to find someone to help, but now, he could only rely on himself.

Sibao turned around, only to find that at some point, the stack of buns and a pot of tea were placed in front of him, and Sibao knew it in his heart, and delivered the buns and tea step by step.

Sibao Niang saw the whole process, so she had to smile and continue to be busy with the things in her hands, so, just like that, although there were a lot of people early in the morning, almost everyone was picking it up, and Sibao was not very tired.

Everyone will shake Sibao's hand when they leave, and sincerely say to the proprietress "Your child is so cute or something" and finally send the last person away, Sibao Niang said resentfully, "Sibao, how did you little bastard give birth to such a beautiful child!" “

"Hee-hee, A-Niang, I'm good-looking, isn't it just that you're good-looking" Sibao praised people without a trace, and sure enough, A-Niang laughed and said noncommittally, "This is the truth!" ”
