Chapter 39: Childe, you are
"You're wrong." Yue Niangzi smiled and shook her head, "I'm not an insider, I'm not an outsider, at most I can make some simple pastries, and I have more contact with ordinary people than ordinary people." ”
"It's not easy to make simple pastries." The shopkeeper pinched his beard and tied up the pastries that had been packed and handed them to Mrs. Yue.
Yue Niangzi stretched out her hand to take it, and after paying the silver, she nodded again and spoke, "Probably." She whispered, then walked sideways again.
"Let's go get a bowl of sugar water." Yue Niangzi stood outside the pastry shop and said to Chunxi, or is it a suggestion?
This is not advice.
Chunxi grinned, "The lady is very greedy." She covered her mouth with one hand and crossed her waist with the other and laughed, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have told me three times." ”
On the other side, the lady Yue no longer looked at her, turned her head and stomped her feet slightly, then immediately raised her steps and turned to leave. She walked in a hurry, as if some flood beast was following her.
Chunxi, who was still smiling behind her belly, hurriedly bowed down to follow, and could vaguely see the tips of the red ears of the person in front of her.
"Oh, it's normal to be greedy, I was greedy when I was a child, and every time I stole something, I was always chased and beaten." She followed with a smile and a smile, and the Yue Lady also slowed down.
“... I'm not a glutton. She turned around and stood where she was, and when Chunxi came up, she said seriously, "Have you ever seen a lady who eats less than your family?" She straightened her face and looked a little serious.
But it was this rigorous color that once again made Chunxi laugh, how could anyone explain so seriously for the sake of a little food or to be wronged and joked about "gluttony".
"Why is the lady so cute, I haven't noticed it before." Haruki continued to speak.
Yue Niangzi also felt that she had just lost her temper.
The two looked at each other, but after three back and forth, they both laughed out loud.
"Ouch, let's go quickly, if it goes on like this, the old grandmother is afraid that she will close the stall." Chunxi went over and pulled Yue Niangzi's arm.
This is a big deal indeed.
Yue Niangzi clapped her hands, half-dragged and half-pulled Chunxi and hurried towards that place. There are quite a few people on the street who are in a hurry or even trotting like them, but... Just because one eats like this... It is true that there is none.
What is the charm of eating?
Yue Niangzi and the two rushed to the stall, the sugar water in the wooden bucket had not been touched much at all, and there was more than half a bucket, and there were not many people coming here. It's pitch black, and if one accidentally jumps out of something terrifying... Sky!
A small oil lamp hung on the wall above the old woman's head, and it was still swaying from side to side with the wind through the hall, as if it was about to fall down in the next moment.
Chunxi shivered and hid behind Yue Niangzi.
“... Grandma, have a bowl of sugar water. Yue Niangzi rubbed her hands and looked forward to the wooden barrel in front of her.
The tantalizing scent that I had just smelled upstairs was coming from the bucket with a white cloth.
It's weird.
She rubbed her hands again.
The old grandmother sat still as if she hadn't heard, and even Chunxi couldn't help but nag a few times for a long time. She just started moving.
She slowly lifted the white cloth, and as soon as she lifted it, the heat fluttered violently, enveloping the entire stall.
Chunxi let out a "wow", turned his head to look at the stall, and couldn't see anything, only faintly watching the vague shadow can't stop moving.
"Do you want it?" The shadow moved, and pulled its head out of the heat, revealing an old face with furrows, and strands of hair that had been kneaded and tied behind the back of the head loosely on the face.
Chunxi was even more stunned, her body tensed as if she was ready to run away at any time.
"I'm talking to you." Yue Niangzi patted Chunxi's hand that was holding her arm.
She came to her senses.
"To... Ask for a bowl. She said with trembling lips, and then hid behind Yue Niangzi again.
Yue Niangzi shook her head.
"Grandma, I want two bowls." She said.
The old man raised his head and glanced at Yue Niangzi, then retracted his body and moved again.
The steaming heat slowly dissipated, and the stall returned to the night.
Yue Niangzi was terrified at the moment.
That mother-in-law, that old grandmother.... Unexpectedly.... It's blind! She also clenched her hands like Haruki.
Is it this blind mother-in-law who can make such a hard-to-find delicacy that provokes her to come here like scratching her heart?
That's amazing.
The shiny and shiny sugar water was packed in a large black porcelain bowl, and the Yue Niangzi reached out to take it, steaming to the tip of her nose, with a faint floral scent.
"Osmanthus, May lotus, July gardenia, bellflower, wolfberry, iced tea.... And ..... "What else?" Yue Niangzi stood there, what else? What's there, exactly? A thin man slowly oozed from her forehead, as if she was stunned.
What else?
What is it?
Her usual food is to know the ingredients at a glance, why is this today.... She didn't know it...... There are two flavors, what are those two flavors?
"Lady, lady?" Chunxi noticed the different color of Yue Niangzi, and hurriedly called a few times, but Yue Niangzi was still stunned, her eyes were huge, and her pupils were constantly contracting.
The little girl was so frightened that she was about to cry, and she didn't even bother to take the sugar water handed over by the old grandmother.
"What's wrong? Don't want it? The old grandmother spoke, and her voice was extremely sharp and thin, and it seemed extremely terrifying at night.
Yue Niangzi came back to her senses.
Stunned, he reached for the bowl of sugar water.
The grandmother on the other side snorted softly, "If you can't solve it, don't force it, forget it." Sometimes you can't figure it out or you can't remember it, but it's all great. She stood on tiptoe and trembled as she took off the oil lamp hanging above her head and held it in her hand, and then leaned over to the left side of the cart even more tremblingly.
When the light reached that place, I could see that there was a long wooden table more than a foot long, and there was a person sitting at the left end of the wooden table.
She placed the oil lamp in the center of the long table, and then continued to tremble and walk this way, and she had more difficulty walking without the lamp in her hand than before.
Or could we call it... Groping, fumbling against the wall.
This time, she really became a blind old lady.
"Let's go sit over there." Chunxi suggested, "The lady really scared me. She reached out and took the porcelain bowl in Mrs. Yue's hand and quickly walked over and put it on the table, then turned around and came back to prepare to help Mrs. Yue over.
As soon as she turned around, she saw that Yue Niangzi had already stood behind her, and Chunxi moved the oil lamp placed in the center of the table to Yue Niangzi, and then beckoned Yue Niangzi to sit down.
Yue Niangzi sat opposite Chunxi, and on Chunxi's left sat a big man dressed in black fox skin, and at this moment the lights were all on their side, so the person was hidden in the night.
"Excuse me." Yue Niangzi moved the oil lamp to the center of the wooden table again, and the table top was pitted, and she didn't stabilize it after putting it a few times.
The person on the other side moved, and then stretched out his hand to hold the oil lamp, Yue Niangzi let go, and the man also moved the oil lamp to a stable place.
