Chapter 342: A Chance Encounter on the Street
The moonlight is so bright that even the color of the surrounding plants and trees can be seen clearly, the primitive valley dirt road, you can't see the tall buildings, you can't see the neon, except for the bright moon overhead, there is no other light, the two figures walked and walked the old hen to the hands of the Taoist, and the little Taoist boy also turned into a cat, followed the Taoist's feet with small broken steps, walked on the official road, and the flowers bloomed on both sides, as if walking into a dream.
It's just that Sanhua Cat still couldn't help but ask, "Daoist, why did you come here?" ”
"That's how it went."
"Why are you following Sanhua Niangniang?"
"Sanhua Niangniang also knows that I am a person who loves to watch lively, and now Sanhua Niangniang is the first time to get rid of demons and fight zombies at night, so I can't help but come over to see and see."
"Taoist priests can't lie!"
"It's nature."
"Did you see that?"
"I saw some, after all, I didn't get close to those five people and see clearly." Song You said, "I think they must have enjoyed watching it." ”
"See some!"
"It's an eye-opener!"
"Eye-opening!"
"Yes, it's an eye-opener, a feast for your eyes!"
"Why don't you take a closer look?"
"It's not a three-flower lady yet."
"Sanhua Niangniang?"
As the cat walked, she tilted her head to look at him, puzzled.
"Sanhua Niangniang is clever and suspicious, what if Sanhua Niangniang suspects that I don't trust Sanhua Niangniang's ability?"
“!”
Sanhua Cat's expression suddenly became solemn -
It was actually seen by this Taoist priest!
Sanhua Niangniang hurriedly took her eyes back, didn't dare to look at him more, and involuntarily quickened her pace a little, and ran to the front of the Taoist.
Sure enough, it can't be hidden from the Taoist priest......
It was indeed a little suspicious, who would have thought that he could see it, and he saw that he was suspicious, although he didn't understand, but it was not a good word, for a while she was like being stepped on the tail, anxious, and quickly eliminated this lost suspicion, after a while, the mood calmed down a little, and then continued to turn his head, and said to the Taoist priest casually:
"Sanhua Niangniang believes in Taoist priests the most."
"Really?"
"Yes~"
"Is Sanhua Niangniang a little weak-hearted?"
"Sanhua Niangniang didn't!"
"Sanhua Niangniang, don't lie to me."
"Sanhua Niangniang doesn't speak!"
"Okay, then I also believe in Sanhua Niangniang, just as Sanhua Niangniang believes in me."
"Hoo ......"
The three-flowered cat breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the front and stopped licking its paws and waiting for the Taoist priest, and then continued to walk at his feet:
"Then you came out, what about the money we have in our house?"
"Ask the Neighbor Girl to help keep watch."
"yes......"
The three-flowered cat breathed a sigh of relief again.
The Neighbor Girl is a very good person who keeps her promises, and she doesn't do anything like stealing chickens and dogs, and she definitely won't take her own money. And the neighbor woman has been very idle lately, she has been staying at home to study, she has both ability and likes to listen to the movement next door, and she will definitely be optimistic about the money.
Of course, the ability is still not as high as his own.
"Taoist priest, Sanhua Niangniang will tell you, Sanhua Niangniang can get thirty taels of silver if she kills zombies. The people in the village also took the money and hired the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest didn't do anything, so he said that he would give all the money taken by the people in the village to Sanhua Niangniang. ”
"That's a lot of money."
"That's a lot of money!"
"What are you going to do with Sanhua Niangniang?"
"Hide!"
"At a young age, Sanhua Niangniang knows the truth of being diligent and thrifty, and managing financial savings, which is really rare." The Taoist did not hesitate to praise himself, "It's just that I have saved it, and I still have to use it, so that I can earn a lot of money by rewarding myself, and I will earn better money in the future." ”
"Treat?"
"Reward yourself." Song You said, "For example, buy two catties of beef and buy a string of sugar gourds." ”
"A bunch of sugar gourds!"
"You can also buy two skewers and divide one skewer for your students."
"Buy three skewers! Give a string to the Taoist priest! ”
"Great......"
In the moonlight world in the middle of the night, there is no one else on the road, and the Taoist and the cat are not afraid of the deep night, not afraid of the long road, not afraid of the cold, no sorrow, it is really a kind of enjoyment.
At the fifth watch, he had already walked outside the city.
But the gates of the city have not yet been opened.
Song You had no choice but to shrink under the city wall, rest for the time being, hugging a chicken in one hand and a cat in the other, seeing the moon sink below the horizon, the world darkened, and a more brilliant galaxy appeared.
When the rooster crows, as soon as the city gate opens, the vendors will rush in to build the prosperity of Changjing.
Song You was just a dozing kung fu, and the cat beside her was gone, and when she saw her again, she had turned into a human form again, hugged a small bundle of firewood, clamped it around her waist, and walked from the path.
“……”
The Taoist couldn't help sighing, picked up the old hen beside him, stretched out his hand to hold Tong'er's other hand that did not hold firewood, and walked into the city with everyone.
Everything is new in the world in the early morning.
People who sleep until noon and don't wake up until now, if they go out early one morning, they will definitely discover another side of the world around them. The same is true in this era, and Changjing in the early morning has a vitality that amazes the Taoists.
The guys in the restaurant want to come out to buy the freshest ingredients, and the servants of the big families have to come and grab them. There are small maids running along the street with hot water or food, I don't know which lazy house to send to, but you can't let Sanhua Niangniang know that Changjing still has this way to make money, otherwise the study time will be a little tighter.
Naturally, there are also those who didn't sleep all night last night, either lingering in the Qinglou restaurant, or not returning all night in the gambling house, walking on the street at this time, either full of alcohol, or vain footsteps.
The two sides walked on the street at the same time, passing by, and only Changjing has such a scene.
Taoists and girls are special.
They didn't return all night, but they were full of energy.
"Steamed cakes! Freshly baked steamed cakes! ”
"Steamed buns! Big meat steamed buns! ”
"Preserved eggs! Delicious fairy preserved eggs! ”
All kinds of cries and cries rang out.
The Taoist suddenly stopped, and looked at a still green woman's voice.
In the corner of the alley, there was a woman sitting, dressed very thickly, with two baskets and a clay pot in front of her, the jar was filled with preserved egg paste, one basket was filled with white duck eggs, and the other basket was neatly stacked with preserved eggs, she wore thick gloves, and while skillfully wrapping preserved eggs, she raised her head and shouted a few words.
Changjing sells preserved eggs like this, you can buy ready-made, or you can bring your own duck eggs to wrap.
There are not many people with this craft now, but preserved eggs have become popular in the capital, and at present, it is also a good business.
Song You looked at the woman carefully through the crowd.
The little girl held his hand in one hand and Chai He in the other, and then looked up with him.
The woman looked nearly twenty years old, but she had already put on her bun, she seemed to have a family, she was dressed quite well, thicker than most people on the road, and there were no patches, and her complexion was more ruddy than most of the hawkers on the road, and she seemed to be doing well.
At least not badly.
"Huh! Mr! ”
Suddenly a voice came from behind him.
As soon as Song You turned around, he found that it was the owner of the breakfast shop diagonally opposite the door, and he was stunned for a moment, so he greeted with a smile:
"Morning."
"Sir, this is ......" The shopkeeper was holding the vegetables in his hand, looking him and the little girls around him up and down, especially the old hen he was carrying and the firewood that the little girl was carrying, "just came back from outside?" ”
"Yes, a trip out of town."
"It's ...... out of town"
"I went to a village to help drive away evil spirits, and the villagers gave me a chicken. When he came back, he was thrifty before the city gate was opened, and went to collect some firewood, so that he would not spend money in the city to buy it. Song You patiently explained.
"Why save this bit of firewood, it's enough to cook a meal."
Song You also thinks so, but Sanhua Niangniang is by her side, so she still has to say: "It is a little bit to be able to save a little." ”
"So what is the gentleman looking at here? I've seen my husband here for a long time! The shopkeeper said, followed his gaze again, and saw the woman who made the preserved eggs, "Mr. wants to buy preserved eggs?" ”
"It's kind of a bit."
"That little lady's craftsmanship is good, the preserved eggs are just right, just according to the time she said, or buy her already cooked, absolutely not thin or dry. The villain has been buying it from her since she started selling preserved egg porridge. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This little lady is diligent and sincere, and the business is good. ”
"Sounds like you've been selling preserved eggs for a long time."
"Anyway, since the villain sells preserved egg porridge, she has been selling preserved eggs, I heard that she used to sell tofu, but selling tofu is much more bitter than preserved eggs, and it is not easy to make money."
"The store knows her well?"
"It's not cooked, let's talk a little bit when you buy eggs." The shopkeeper paused, "I heard that she moved from other places, without a father or mother, but fortunately, there are a group of relatives to help her, and later someone made her a matchmaker, so she got married, it seems that she is married to a scholar, and she is also quite knowledgeable." ”
"That's right."
"If the gentleman wants to buy it, he will report the villain's name, and he can buy it at the price that the villain takes."
"Another day, there are too many things today to fit in."
When the Taoist saw a man approaching her, he stepped out of the room behind her.
He is a man dressed as a scholar.
When the man brought her the dumplings, she stopped slightly, took off her gloves, and took them over and talked to him while eating, looking like a husband and wife.
The Taoist nodded to the shopkeeper, and then left with the chicken and the three flower girls.
"We seem to have seen the woman."
"Sanhua Niangniang will never forget."
"How much is the firewood picked up by Sanhua Niangniang worth?"
"It's worth a lot of money."
The Taoist said as he looked back.
The woman was still eating breakfast, the shop owner of the breakfast shop had walked in front of her, she seemed to think that the store was here to buy eggs, so she looked up and talked to him, but the store pointed behind her, the woman was puzzled, and turned her head in the direction he pointed to see that the streets and alleys of Changjing were bustling in the morning, and she couldn't see anything for a long time.
Taoists can't help but feel wonderful.
The wonderful thing is not only the encounter, but also the livelihood she made after arriving in Changjing, which happened to be selling preserved eggs, which can be regarded as a different kind of fate.
