The sun hangs high in the sky, sprinkling endless rays of light, pulling the shadows of pedestrians on the streets.

The sky is cloudless and blue, the dead trees sprout with vitality, and the melodious birdsong echoes in the ears.

Xu Fugui unbuttoned his cotton coat and walked into the sun, feeling the warm sunshine of early spring.

"Sell lo-mei, sell lo-mei, delicious lo-mei." He tore his throat and shouted on the street, using a fan to diffuse the aroma of lo-mei.

"Young master, that girl is good-looking." Laishun next to him suddenly interjected.

Following his gaze, a plump middle-aged woman wearing a floral cotton jacket passed by with a bamboo basket.

Xu Fugui patted his head, "Things that don't have any interest, and I don't look for young and beautiful girls." ”

Lai Shun straightened his felt hat, "Hehe, I think those young ones are too young, just like children." ”

Too lazy to pay attention to him, Xu Fugui saw that no one was patronizing him for a while, so he took out a small bench from under the stall and sat on it.

"Fugui, do you know when this Tongyou Tea Tavern will open?" Kang Baozi on the side also had free time and chatted.

Xu Fugui glanced at the tea tavern opposite, the black door was closed, a large plaque with a few big characters written on the dragon flying and phoenix dance, and even pasted Spring Festival couplets, and a red carpet was laid out in front of the door, which looked very festive.

"I heard it's coming today."

"I guess it's the same, you see that people have laid out the red carpet."

As soon as the words fell, the door of the Tongyou Tea Tavern was opened one by one, and two guys walked out of it, each holding a hexagram and playing firecrackers.

When a match is lit, a crackling sound explodes in the street, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Then, a man and a woman walked out of the teahouse, the two of them looked like they were about thirty years old, the man had sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, wearing a black silk gown, his waist was straight, and his eyes were extremely resolute.

The woman's dress was also neat, her hair was coiled high, and her eyes were full of essence, like a female general.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am tired of your time, today the shop is officially opened, selling tea, wine and side dishes, I hope you will come to the ......"

The man arched his hand, said a few words about the opening scene, and walked into the teahouse.

The woman waved her hand, and a gong and drum team came out of the teahouse and began to beat gongs and drums, and the sound was sky-high.

Xu Fugui followed the voice of the gong and drum team and shouted loudly, "Sell lo-mei, sell lo-mei......"

His voice was thick and loud, and for a while it actually overshadowed the sound of the gong and drum team.

The handsome woman looked at him curiously, and actually walked over.

Xu Fugui stopped shouting, thinking that this person would not be so stingy, and he couldn't rub the gong and drum team?

The handsome woman strode over, her brown shoes tapping on the bluestone slab with a crisp sound.

"Hello, I'm the proprietress of Tongyou Tea Tavern, my name is Du Shanying, I'm new to here, please take care of me." Walking closer, the handsome woman stretched out her hand, greeted gently, and spoke Mandarin in a straight voice.

Xu Fugui was stunned for a moment, a little strange in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it, wiped his hands vigorously on his clothes, shook it lightly and let it go.

"Hello Boss Du, my name is Xu Fugui, he is my brother Laishun, we are selling lo-mei, and you have to take care of us."

Du Shanying chuckled, said hello to Kang Baozi next to him, and said to them: "If a few people are busy later, you might as well come in and have a cup of tea, the first day of opening, it's free." ”

Xu Fugui nodded with a big grin, "Cheng, Boss Du is magnificent, by the way, why does Boss Du want to open a store in our small county?" To be honest, you can't make a few bucks. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a kitchen knife, cut off a piece of pig's head, and quickly cut it into small pieces.

Du Shanying explained: "I was originally from Yunxi, but when I was more than ten years old, I went to other places because of the disaster, didn't I hear about peace, so I came back and thought about starting a small business and settling down." ”

Xu Fugui nodded suddenly, and put the pig's head meat in oilskin paper, "Na, Boss Du, you can take my own marinated pig's head meat, and take care of my business in the future." ”

Seeing this, Kang Baozi, who was listening to them next to him, smashed his mouth, and hurriedly took out two meat buns and handed them over.

Du Shanying couldn't shirk it, so she accepted it.

"Okay, you're busy, come and sit down later, and cheer us on." She said.

"No problem."

Du Shanying turned her head and left, and greeted the guests at the door warmly.

"Fugui, this rich man just speaks differently, he is polite to everyone, and he also invites the three of us to have tea, will you go later?" Kang Baozi closed the lid of the steamer.

"Go, why don't you go?"

Xu Fugui sat on the wooden bench, pursed his chapped lips, took out the kettle and took a big sip, basking in the sun comfortably.

In the sun, sleepiness welled up, put the melon skin hat on his face, closed his eyes and began to take a nap.

"Come to Shun, remember to greet someone." He commanded casually.

After a while, a glutinous voice suddenly remembered in my ears, "Grandpa, what is this, it smells so good." ”

Taking the melon skin hat away from her face, a little girl of about seven or eight years old was standing in front of the lo-mei stall swallowing saliva, her little face was dirty, her hair was yellow, her bones were thin, and she was malnourished at first glance.

Next to the little girl was an old man with his back on his back, holding something in his hand with a gray cloth, and he was careful in his every move.

It's another pair of hard-working couples.

Xu Fugui closed his eyes again, he was soft-hearted and couldn't see the suffering in the world.

There are too many people who are suffering, and if he dares to be kind, his family will not want to eat.

"What are you selling? What price" The old man pointed to the lo-mei and asked in a low voice.

Lai Shun glanced at them, pointed to the signboard of Xu Ji Lo Mei, and then pointed to the price in front of the stall.

The old man's expression was even more embarrassed, "That, I can't read." ”

Lai Shun said patiently: "Old man, we sell lo-mei, the price is not cheap, pig ears cost 150 copper coins a catty, braised eggs are cheaper, and they also cost more than 20 copper coins a catty......

The old man took a breath of cool air, immediately dispelled his thoughts, and pulled the little girl away.

The little girl reluctantly glanced at the lo-mei on the stall, swallowed hard, and reluctantly followed her grandfather away.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the old man actually came back, opened the gray cloth, and prayed: "Why don't you take a look at the old family heirlooms?" ”

Xu Fugui stood up, and his tall body made the old man take a few steps back.

"Old man, don't be afraid, I'll see what it is first."

Xu Fugui said softly, took the object in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

A black pig's head ceramic jar, which seems to be used to hold copper coins, is not something valuable......
