Fengqi Street.

This is an old street in Mingzhou. The earliest origin has not been examined, legend has it that this street in Qianlong Weifu Jiangnan time, won the love of a lady who accompanied Qianlong to come here, and even when Qianlong went to do business, came here for three consecutive days, and then Qianlong revealed his identity, the shopkeeper on the street, the guy knew that he was eating and drinking on the street these days, and the lady who was shopping was kind and generous! So it was renamed Fengqi Street.

Let's not talk about how nonsense this story is, but it's true that this street is an old commercial street. When the Mingzhou government developed the tourism industry and transformed the city's appearance, it not only retained this street, but also carried out the necessary maintenance and packaging of this ancient street.

In addition, Mingzhou has also found some old chefs and craftsmen to open shops on this street to attract tourists with their original and ancient style. Presumably, the "old brother" that Lao Du said is one of them, because Lao Du said, "He finally returned to this street with his craftsmanship." ”

You know, Lao Du was the eldest son of the largest fish shop owner in Mingzhou before liberation, and he was busy going to school, so he definitely couldn't run around the streets like an out-of-school child, and as a boy, he didn't necessarily like to go shopping, so what did this "old brother" do?

Liu Pengcheng walked on Fengqi Street, looking at the antique wooden signboards on both sides, and his first reaction was the chef, because children, delicious and greedy are certain, so it is very normal to know a chef's child or apprentice.

But then I felt that it was wrong, if it was a chef, it must be a restaurant on this street! You go to visit a restaurant owner, a veteran chef, and then bring someone else's cooked food, or raw seafood, again and again, you don't do that, if that's the case, this friend can't ask for it.

After wandering around the street for a while, it was time for dinner, Liu Pengcheng looked at a noodle knot shop in front of him, and thought that this noodle knot seemed to be a very distinctive Mingzhou snack, so he took Xiao Yang and Xiao Liu in.

Liu Pengcheng ordered three servings of noodles as the staple food, ordered a few side dishes, and did not order wine and drinks, and several people sighed and snorted to eat.

Liu Pengcheng is also the first time to eat noodle knots, he knows what this is after taking a bite, isn't this just dry tofu wrapped in meat filling, each thousand sheets are wrapped in fatty meat filling, when you bite down, the fragrance is soft and chewy, the fragrance overflows the entire mouth, the soup is not greasy, and the eating is full of layers. It's really delicious, especially the old chicken soup as a base soup, which is really delicious.

After eating the noodle knot, Liu Pengcheng continued to wander around the street with two young police officers. But they didn't buy anything. The first is that Liu Pengcheng feels that there is a lot of food here, and there is really nothing to bring back. The second one, Liu Pengcheng himself doesn't like to buy things.

Until the street was almost at the end, Liu Pengcheng saw a small storefront, his eyes lit up, and he walked over. The store was unremarkable, with a plaque on it that read "Old Workers and Old Jewelry".

Liu Pengcheng went in to take a look, and he couldn't see a single piece of jewelry in the store, only an old man sat on the sofa that was already a little shabby, reading the newspaper, or the "Jiangnan Morning News" published by Shen Juan's unit.

As soon as Liu Pengcheng and the others entered, the old man glanced at them and said, "Young man, go shopping somewhere else, I don't sell anything." ”

As soon as this sentence was said, Liu Pengcheng and the three of them were stunned. Xiao Liu asked, "Aren't you a jewelry store?" ”

The old man nodded, and said, "I'm a jewelry store, but I don't sell jewelry." ”

This made Liu Pengcheng and the three of them confused, this is a jewelry store, if you don't sell jewelry, do you sell lollipops?

Liu Pengcheng didn't go, Xiao Yang Xiaoliu of course couldn't go, the old man saw that the three of them didn't leave, and said helplessly: "I don't sell jewelry, but it's really a jewelry store, I only order jewelry here, or old workers' jewelry, young people don't like it, you go shopping somewhere else." ”

Liu Pengcheng's eyes lit up, the old worker's jewelry, that's a good thing, it refers to the jewelry made without the help of computers and modern machinery, purely handmade!

If this is put in a few decades, if you have this craft, you don't have to sell jewelry, just do live broadcasts to earn rewards!

Liu Pengcheng smiled: "I like it, I like it, who said that young people don't like old workers' jewelry, old comrade, you can show us this kind of product." Liu Pengcheng saw the old man's suspicious eyes and said, "Don't worry, don't look at it in vain, don't look at it in vain, it's good things, you must buy it!" ”

The old man looked at Liu Pengcheng again, and turned back to the back room.

When he came back, the old man was carrying a large notebook in his hand. handed it to Liu Pengcheng and said: "This is a sample drawing, you can see for yourself what you want, there is no real thing." He pointed to Xiao Yang and Xiao Liu at the water dispenser: "You two are thirsty and pour your own water." ”

Liu Pengcheng opened the big book. It was Sparta at that time. What is this, can anyone tell me what it is?

Inside, it looks like all kinds of jewelry. But ah, there are some cut out of newspapers and magazines, and they still bring people. Some of them are photos, and some of them are obviously taken from a big jewelry store, and they have half of the salesperson's face with them! It's not a photo printed in a notebook, it's a whole photo pasted on a notebook. And then there are the pencil drawings. It's not a sketch, it's a stick figure. It's just that the jewelry is drawn, and there is no light and shadow effect.

The whole big book is this simple and crude hodgepodge.

Liu Pengcheng looked at the old man and pointed to a photo cut out of an old newspaper and asked, "What is this?" ”

The old man asked rhetorically, "You're from the northeast." ”

Liu Pengcheng nodded: "That's right." ”

The old man seemed to be a little angry: "The people of the Northeast don't know you young marshal!" ”

Of course, the young marshal Liu Pengcheng knows, a long-lived patriotic general who has lived forever! He also knows that the big beauty next to the young marshal is the fourth lady!

The problem is that this is a jewelry store, and you can't sell a gold statue of a patriotic general for people to offer.

The old man really said, "Then do you know the one next to him?" ”

Liu Pengcheng nodded again: "Know, know, Fourth Miss." But master, what are you selling! ”

This is a winter photo, these two are wearing coats, the man is wearing the general army coat of the Northeast Army, the woman is wearing a mink coat and a mink hat, both of them are wearing gloves, how can there be any jewelry!

Unexpectedly, Liu Pengcheng stopped the old man this time, and took the photo album and looked at it for a long time.

Liu Pengcheng:

After a while, the old man finally remembered and said, "Pearl earrings." ”

Photography in the twenties, coupled with printing in the twenties, Liu Pengcheng can see who these two people are already criminal police eyes. He said that he couldn't tell if there were earrings on the ears of the fourth lady, if he looked hard, it seemed that there might be a small pimple under the ears of the fourth miss, as for the specifics, it could only rely on imagination.

Liu Pengcheng thought about it, and it seemed that this earring was cheaper in this book, so he asked: "How much is this earring?" ”

The old man raised his eyelids and took a look: "These earrings are precious, I don't have artificially cultivated pearls, they are all natural pearls, and they are not as big as cultured, these earrings cost two thousand six, you can look at something else." ”

So what is the concept of two thousand six? The price of gold in '97 is more than 80 grams! That is to say, two thousand six can buy half a catty of gold to hang on the ear, and what is the price of pearls Liu Pengcheng does not know, but in the big market of Bianshan, the cultured pearl necklace is a string of pearls, one hundred and one, this is a real pearl, and the fake pearl powder is cheaper.

Liu Pengcheng thought about it and said, "Then this one." ”

The old man said, "Pay the money first." ”

Liu Pengcheng asked, "Do you have a credit card machine?" ”

The old man pointed out the door: "There is a bank opposite." ”

Liu Pengcheng reluctantly took out his card and handed it to Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang took the card and turned around and went out.

It may be that Liu Pengcheng really wants to buy something, and the old man's attitude is also better.

The old man asked, "Is the northeast going to Mingzhou on a business trip?" ”

Liu Pengcheng said: "Where, run for the funeral, one of my seniors' father-in-law died, I came to the funeral, by the way to play for a few days, I got married and went all the way to the northeast, and I can't do anything at home!" His father-in-law's surname is Du, and he seems to have opened a seafood canning factory, is he famous in your Mingzhou? ”

I saw that the old man's body stiffened slightly.
