Seeing Lin Xiaoman, someone wanted to come over to say hello, but Lin Xiaoman pulled Lin Erhu into the crowd.

joke, in front of so many people, they come to the throat of 'Qingping County Lord', she has to be surrounded like a monkey to admire.

However, Aunt Osmanthus put the clothes of her in-laws' family closely, not only did she not come to the house to find trouble, but she could also make money together, which is also a good thing.

It seems that the vegetables grown this year have earned money, and the old lady is not as shallow as before.

Well, the days are all going in a good direction.

In addition to selling skewers in baskets, Lin Xiaoman also saw many people pushing carts to sell hot ginger tea on the roadside, and looking at the jar containing ginger tea, it was also seen that it was from the fourth grandmother's workshop.

There are also many people who take the marinated skewers and eat while walking, and smell the smell when passing by, which is the smell of the material bags taken by the family members of the officials and officials when they go home to kill pigs.

After that, they came to buy the marinade buns a few times, saying that they were opening a lo-mei shop in the city, and the business was very good. They all seem to be business-minded.

Lin Xiaoman also bought some braised skewers to taste, and the taste was okay, but he felt that there was still something missing from there.

Probably the delicious soy sauce and MSG chicken essence.

I also saw a seller of fried potato pieces, sprinkled with a little chili powder and salt noodles, the size of a bite, and sold for a penny.

Lin Xiaoman bought fifty yuan, which was packed in an oiled paper bag, and it was convenient to eat while walking in his hand.

I tasted it, that is, the taste of potatoes fried in oil, it was not unpleasant, and it was not very delicious, and it was not as delicious as the small potatoes sold over there.

Walking down in a circle, most of the popular snacks in the market are related to her, and it is strange to think about it.

In addition to the food, the best selling items today are all kinds of lanterns.

Unlike the plastic ones over there, the lanterns here are all pasted with paper or gauze, and there are candles inserted in them, so you have to be careful when you buy one and carry it in your hand, for fear that you will light the lantern if you turn the candle over.

is so careful, and from time to time I hear someone exclaim that their lantern is on fire.

Lu Jin bought a rabbit for Lin Xiaoman, and the white rabbit was still holding a radish in his arms, which was not very exquisite, and was even a little ugly.

Lin Xiaoman was cautious, for fear that the rabbit lamp would catch fire if he was not careful.

Suddenly, hearing a cheer, Lin Xiaoman looked over there, but there were people everywhere, and he couldn't tell if someone was performing arts.

Lu Jin protected Lin Xiaoman, Qingshu held Lin Erhu and squeezed into the crowd, and saw a small black and thin man, tying a monkey with a chain, holding a small whip in his hand, directing the monkey to make various movements.

The children next to him clapped their hands, and the adults applauded vigorously.

If it was in the past, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu would have watched it with relish, but after going over there and being exposed to a lot of new ideas, the sisters and brothers began to sympathize with the monkeys who were forced to perform their arts.

But compared to the thin and withered man, the monkey is very fat, and his hair looks smooth in the light.

Lu Jin looked at Lin Xiaoman's expression was wrong, and leaned into her ear and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Xiaoman shook his head, how could she say that it was wrong for monkey people to abuse monkeys? After all, the thinking of people in this era is different from that of later generations, she really jumped out and said that those monkeys were pitiful, and let the monkey trickster let the monkeys go, and it is estimated that everyone thinks she is sick.

But look at this monkey is well raised, and it doesn't look like it has been abused.

After a round of juggling, the monkey carried a large bowl and jumped around the circle of people.

Most people will throw a few copper coins into the big bowl, and some don't want to give money, and the monkey will stand for a while and move on to the next one.

When he walked in front of Lin Xiaoman, Lin Xiaoman put the small potatoes in the oil paper bag he had just bought into a big bowl.

The monkey looked at the paper bag and was stunned, so he came to the paper bag and sniffed it, and wanted to open the paper bag and eat it.

The man was talking to the onlookers, and when he saw that the monkey was about to eat, he ran over and snatched the bag in his hand, Lin Xiaoman thought he was going to teach the monkey a lesson, but the man opened the bag and looked at it, and returned the bag to the monkey. touched the top of its head, took the big bowl in its hand, and said angrily and funny: "Greedy things, eat at the same time!" ”

The monkey held the paper bag with one front paw, and with three paws jumped and ran to sit on the stool that was placed on the side, and knew how to use the bamboo skewers placed in it to tie the potato pieces and eat them.

The strange appearance of the wit made the onlookers look so happy that many people threw money into the man's bowl.

The man has a sweet mouth and can talk, and when he sees a woman, he calls him a sister, making several older women laugh, and he doesn't feel distressed when he throws money.

When he saw the child, he called Miss Childe, and praised the child for his rich appearance, and the adults next to him were happy to hear it, and they were willing to throw money into the bowl.

When the man got the reward, he would turn around and tell the monkey to buy food for him, and with the monkey's funny appearance from time to time, the bowl was full of copper coins before the circle was finished.

Lu Jin even gave a piece of broken silver, the man immediately knelt down, kowtowed twice, and blurted out a string of auspicious words, the mouth was so fast, I couldn't hear what he said if I didn't listen carefully.

Lu Jin is used to being kneeled, but he doesn't feel anything, Lin Erhu is very surprised to hear it, this monkey is also a strange person, and ordinary people can't memorize these auspicious words alone.

After watching the monkey, Lin Xiaoman and the others walked around for a while, and it was a little late, and the people who lived outside the city went out of the city one after another, and the people in the city also went about the same, there were not so many people on the street, and many stalls were ready to close their stalls.

Lu Jin wanted to take Lin Xiaoman's sister and brother back to live in the county government, and Lin Xiaoman wanted to go to live with the fourth grandmother.

In the end, Lu Jin said that if Lin Xiaoman was not moved, he would send the sisters and brothers to the fourth grandmother.

When I was about to get to the fourth grandmother, I heard someone scolding in the alley in front of me, and one of them was scolding and scolding, but it was really dirty. Lu Jin didn't want to pollute Lin Xiaoman's ears, so he motioned for Qingshu to take a look.

Qingshu took a few steps and ran into the alley,

Lin Xiaoman listened for a while but said: "The one who scolds people sounds like a monkey, is this a robbery?" ”

Lu Jin sounded like that, a little worried about the fat monkey.

Qingshu went in and roared, and the people inside were silent for a while, and someone asked Qingshu not to meddle in his affairs, how could Qingshu listen, just listen to the random screams of Ooh Niang.

An official who was on patrol at night passed by, and rushed over listening to the voice, and saw Lu Jin and his sister and brother standing outside the alley, and gave the three of them a salute respectively.

After a while, the official escorted five people out of it, and these five people all had scratches on their faces, and they looked a little miserable.

Behind them followed Qingshu, lining the monkey trickster next to him even shorter.

At this time, the monkey man's face was bruised and purple, his clothes were torn several holes, and the reeds in it floated everywhere.

The fat monkey was held in his arms, whining, and from time to time he had to raise his hand to touch the injured face of the monkey man, and he whined a few times when he touched it, and his little eyes were full of distress.
