271 mooncakes
There were a lot of people, and Su Mo was not very relieved, so he stretched out his hand to hold Gu Ping'an.
Gu Qinhan stood on the other side of Su Mo, one step behind Su Mo, holding Gu Xingnian in one hand and blocking Su Mo's back with one hand, to prevent people who didn't have long eyes from coming up.
When the four of them walked to the edge of the lake, the sky was already dark, and a full moon was swaying on the branches.
The little girl stood tall and looked far away, and she looked at the brightly lit painting boat, and she couldn't be excited.
It's big, it's beautiful!
Gu Qinhan's height can be regarded as standing out in the crowd, and he noticed the little girl's gaze, and he also looked over.
At the right time, the lanterns on the lake lit up, and the sound of silk and bamboo sounded in the painting boat, and then several graceful women moved to the bow of the boat with slight steps, twisting their bodies and dancing.
The flower boats docked on the shore began to carry passengers, the oars flicked, and the scene reflected in the water rose and fell with the ripples, sparkling.
Gu Qinhan only felt that a few fragments flashed in his mind, his brows were tightly locked, and he wanted to see it clearly but found that he couldn't remember anything, but he still felt a faint pain.
He closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.
Su Mo sensed that something was wrong with Gu Qinhan, she stood still, turned to look at him, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Hearing Su Mo's voice, Gu Qin opened his eyes suddenly, Su Mo's gorgeous face came into view, he was stunned, and a painting suddenly appeared in his mind, In the painting is a familiar face...
Gu Qinhan's Adam's apple moved slightly, his eyelids drooped slightly, covering the glow in his dark eyes, and then he raised his eyes, and his eyes were calm.
He shook his head and smiled lightly, "It's okay, I just stepped on it." ”
Su Mo saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, so he didn't think much about it, and besides, there were so many people on the street, it was normal to be stepped on.
She bowed her head slightly, although she couldn't see Gu Qinhan's feet, she still subconsciously looked down.
"Seriously? If it's serious, we'll find a place to rest. ”
The shops on one side of the street naturally have restaurants and teahouses, and there are also tables and chairs placed by vendors on the shore, such as a long snake, for people to rest for free.
If you want to eat, you can ask your companions to go to a nearby restaurant and teahouse to say hello, and after giving the money, a guy will send it to the place.
Gu Qinhan shook his head, "It's not serious, let's continue shopping, I see that the lanterns in front of me are very good-looking, let's go buy some, and we can hang them in the yard when the time comes."
Since Gu Qinhan said that it was okay, Su Mo didn't force it, turned around and continued to walk forward.
The little girl wanted to eat the little candy man, so she whispered in Gu Qinhan's ear, wanting Gu Qinhan to help buy it.
Gu Qinhan was unmoved, "If you want to eat, you have to tell your mother, and she can only buy it if she agrees." ”
Gu Xingnian pursed his lips, twisted his little body, and shouted when he opened his mouth: "Mother~Mother~"
Su Mo heard the voice and looked over, "What's wrong?" ”
The little girl blinked and pointed to the candy seller's stall not far away, "I want to eat this~"
"Nope." Su Mo saw the stall she was referring to clearly, and decisively refused, "You have eaten a lot of sweets these days, and the sugar man is too tired to eat." ”
Gu Xingnian didn't give up, looked at Su Mo with a blank eye, and said coquettishly: "Mother, just buy one, is it okay?" ”
"Not good." Su Mo was unmoved, but threatened the little girl: "Do you also want to take that bitter medicine like your eldest brother?" ”
Gu Xingnian recalled the taste, only to feel that her mouth had begun to be bitter, she hurriedly shook her head violently, and the little sugar man didn't want it.
Su Mo succeeded, smiled with satisfaction, raised his hand and wanted to rub her head, but remembered that the little girl was well-dressed today, and she still had beaded flowers on her head.
She paused, and instead rubbed the little girl's fleshy cheeks, "Good, wait for my mother to buy you some mooncakes to taste." ”
Last year's Moon Worship Festival, Su Mo didn't buy moon cakes for the children, so Gu Xingnian hadn't eaten moon cakes yet, so when he heard it, his eyes blinked, and he was a little curious.
"Are mooncakes delicious?"
Su Mo thought for a while, "Mother can't say for sure, I'll know when you eat it." ”
After all, whether the moon cakes are good or not depends on the craftsmanship of the people who make the moon cakes, anyway, in the memory of the original owner, there are good and bad.
Gu Xingnian's eyes rolled, and he didn't ask, and lay quietly on Gu Qinhan's body.
And Gu Ping'an was still a little excited when the little sister talked about the sugar man, thinking that if his mother agreed to the little sister, then he would also take the opportunity to say that he wanted to eat the sugar gourd.
But in the end, my mother didn't agree, and I mentioned the medicine...
Gu Ping'an was not interested in the food on the street.
Su Mo did what he said, and when he walked in front of a mooncake stall that was bought by a lot of people, he stopped.
The stall owner is a husband and wife, quite young, and there is a child about five or six years old sitting behind him, holding a mooncake and eating it fragrantly.
"What does this lady want?"
"What's stuffed?"
Su Mo moved his eyes to the stall, the mooncakes were covered with a bamboo-woven lid, leaving only a small opening, and two rows of mooncakes could be seen neatly arranged.
There is an oven in the Dayong Dynasty, an earthen kiln oven made of mud, which is quite a big one, at first it was used to make roast chicken, roast duck, and then someone tried to bake moon cakes, and found that the moon cakes made were more fragrant and delicious, and then gradually the moon cakes were baked out of the oven.
It is a test of the heat with an earthen kiln oven, and judging from the appearance of this moon cake, it is obvious that the couple has a good grasp of the heat.
The woman on the other side of the stall smiled and pointed to the moon cakes on her stall, "This is jujube paste, this is bean paste, and there are five kernels, egg yolks, and salted meat." ”
"I want one of the same, can I cut it?"
"Of course, I'll pack it separately for you, so it won't be mixed." The woman happily responded, took the lid away, picked up the moon cake with a bamboo tong, put it on the oil paper, cut it into four parts, wrapped one layer first, and then put four bamboo sticks, and then continued to wrap the oil paper and tie it with fine hemp rope.
After packing all the mooncakes that Su Mo wanted, she handed them over and told Su Mo the price.
Su Mo didn't go to pick up the moon cakes, but paid for them, and as for the moon cakes, of course, Gu Qinhan took them.
There was more traffic on the street, so Su Mo simply went to the tables and chairs on the shore.
"Let's take a break and try whether this mooncake is delicious."
She picked an empty seat and sat down.
Gu Xingnian twisted his small body and got off Gu Qinhan's body, staring at the moon cake that Gu Qinhan was carrying.
"Little glutton!" Su Mo smiled when he saw it, raised his hand and tapped her nose.
Gu Xingnian blinked, just as if he hadn't heard.
Su Mo and Gu Qinhan opened the oil paper bag together, and then divided the small bamboo skewers into one point, "Okay, let's eat!" ”
As soon as the words came out, the little girl couldn't wait, and reached out and inserted a small piece casually, she was not picky, she ate anything stuffing.
It's just that you can't eat too much baked, and Su Mo stopped her movement after she finished eating her portion.
"You can't keep eating."
Gu Xingnian pursed his lips, but he didn't make a fuss: "Good horn." ”
Su Mo pinched her cheek, "Good." ”
Gu Ping'an thought of the bitter taste of the medicine because of Su Mo's words, and he looked at the moon cake and had no appetite at all, so after eating a piece, he put the small bamboo skewer away.
"Mother, I don't like to eat moon cakes, you can eat them."
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, "You really don't want to eat?" ”
Gu Ping'an nodded violently.
Su Mo was happy, she was indeed hungry, and a little moon cake was not enough for her to stuff her teeth.
