Chapter 183: Xijiang Grapes
"Miss, Wan'an Street has arrived." Luo Kui opened his mouth, couldn't wait to get out of the carriage, stayed in Fu'an Village for a long time, and the crowded Wan'an Street made Luo Kui extremely excited.
"There's a lot of people." Xiao Jiuyue glanced at it, and under a big banyan tree next to him, many people were gathered together, and there were red streamers hanging on the lush banyan tree.
"Miss, it seems that the Begging Festival is coming, and everyone wants to ask for marriage." Luo Kui said, standing on tiptoe, looking at the side of the banyan tree, there seems to be a moon old temple!
"Miss, do you want to go and see?" Luo Kui's eyes are full of yearning.
"You can go and ask for a marriage." Xiao Jiuyue said jokingly, looking at the people crowded on the third floor and the outer three floors there, praying for marriage in the Yuelao Temple devoutly, and had no idea of getting together at all.
Is the silver not fragrant enough? Or is one's life not free enough?
"Eldest Miss, if you ask for marriage, it's not as reliable as the third master." Hua Qing watched from the sidelines, egging on again.
"The third master really didn't give you any money?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Hua Qing playfully, but whenever she could speak, Hua Qing kept saying good things about Jun Lie.
"I don't know him, why did he give me money?" Hua Qing patted her chest and said, "Miss, believe me, our Hua people are much more reliable than Yue Lao in terms of numerology." ”
Xiao Jiuyue directly ignored Hua Qing's instigating words, if it weren't for her good skills, she really didn't want to take her out.
"Miss, the people over there, they are dressed strangely." Lianxin spoke, just a little in front of the Yuelao Temple, and several people were dressed strangely, with stalls in front of them.
"Check it out." Xiao Jiuyue raised her feet and walked over, and then she listened to Hua Qing's words, she couldn't help but pack Hua Qing and send it to Jun Lie.
In front of the stall, the man was dressed in peculiar clothes, and in front of him were bunches of grapes, all of them red and purple, and when they were close, they seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of grapes.
"This is from Xijiang Country, rich in grapes." Hua Qing stood aside and explained: "I have been to Xijiang Country, and the girls there are all deep eyebrows and eyes, and they are very good-looking!" ”
"Really?" Luo Kui's eyes were suspicious, and he said: "This grape is bigger than Shengjing's, and I don't know if it is sour or not." ”
"It's sweet, not sour." The man grinned and showed a mouthful of big white teeth, he looked at Xiao Jiuyue, who was protected by everyone in the middle, and said, "Girl, only fifty yuan a catty." ”
Xiao Jiuyue hadn't opened her mouth yet, and Luo Kui on the side said, "Fifty dollars a catty?" Why don't you grab it? Shengjing's grapes are only thirty-five pounds! ”
Hongdu is not as good as Shengjing, why does this grape cost fifty wen a catty?
"I, my price is not expensive, my grapes are shipped from Xijiang, the grapes are big, especially sweet." The man said excitedly, because he was called by Luo Kui, his face was red.
"Sweet or not, I didn't eat it, how do you know?" Luo Kui stared at the grapes that were bigger than Shengjing, and thought: Is it bigger than Shengjing's grapes, who knows if there are any Shengjing grapes sweet?
"One, a penny." The man put the grapes in the palm of his hand, the round grapes were red and purple, and he said: "It is not easy to transport the grapes, these are all grapes grown by me at home, and they are guaranteed to be very sweet." ”
Luo Kui wanted to say something, Xiao Jiuyue took a step forward, looked at the grapes and said, "Wash a few and taste them, if it's delicious, I'll buy it again." ”
"Well, the girl is good-looking, and if she eats this grape, she must look even better!" The man washed the grapes enthusiastically and handed them to Xiao Jiuyue.
Xiao Jiuyue didn't take it, the lotus heart on the side took the grapes, washed them again, and then handed them to Xiao Jiuyue.
The red and purple grapes, she tasted them, the taste was indeed good, slightly sour, and the sweetness was very high, Xiao Jiuyue glanced at the grapes in front of her, and asked, "You transported the grapes from Xijiang Kingdom?" ”
"yes." The man nodded, pointed to the grapes behind him, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" I'm selling sweet grapes, aren't they? I grew it home. ”
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue replied casually, and looked down the street, he was not the only one who came from Xijiang Country to sell grapes like a man.
"How about buying some?" The man asked enthusiastically.
Xiao Jiuyue asked Lianxin to weigh two catties, and when the man heard it, his happy eyes narrowed, and he directly picked two strings and said: "Girl, look, this is two and a half catties, is it done?" ”
"Done." Xiao Jiuyue responded, and the man said again: "Girl, I will give you these grapes just now." ”
"No more money?" Xiao Jiuyue raised his eyebrows and looked at him, perhaps because the price of grapes was expensive, and not many people came to buy the grapes in his stall.
"Hey, I'm afraid of those who want to take advantage of them for nothing." The man neatly took the basket of straw and loaded the grapes, smiled and handed them forward, "Girl, I don't have many grapes, if you want to eat them, you can buy more." ”
"Grapes are easy to spoil, you have to spoil a lot this time, right?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at the ripe grapes, she was a little curious, how they were preserved, she asked, "Xijiang is not close to Hongdu." ”
"I brought them all over with me and transported them to Hongdu, just ripe." The man replied with a dodging look in his eyes.
Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyebrows slightly, didn't ask again, got up and left.
"Miss, he can't lie to us, right? This grape is not from Xijiang Country at all? Luo Kui looked back at the man suspiciously, dressed up, and it seemed that he was really from Xijiang.
"The grapes are real." Xiao Jiuyue tasted another grape, and it was not easy to eat fresh grapes in Nanyue, where supplies were scarce.
"So, he's really not from Xijiang?" Luo Kui said angrily: "Isn't that a liar? Still selling you so expensive! ”
Hua Qing pulled her back and said, "Silly girl, you are buying grapes, what does it matter if you are from Xijiang or not?" ”
"But, but when he speaks, aren't the clothes he wears from Xijiang Kingdom? Also, he said that he grows his own grapes! Luo Kui said angrily, always feeling that the young lady had been deceived.
"Silly, there are several places where grapes can be grown in South Vietnam, and he said that Xijiang planted them, so they don't sell them at a higher price?" Hua Qing looked at the grapes in Lianxin's hand: "It's the grapes that are planted well, and they are bigger than others." ”
"The sweetness is also high." Xiao Jiuyue added that in the memory of the original owner, the grapes produced in Shengjing should not be so sweet.
I don't know where the man planted the grapes, but they taste good, but if the amount is large, can I make some wine to drink?
The wine, paired with a clear glass, is a delight to the eye just by looking at it.
"But, but he's still expensive." Falling Aoi said.
Xiao Jiuyue didn't speak, Lianxin pulled Luo Kui and went to another stall to ask, forty-five wen a catty!
"It's five cents cheaper." Luo Kui looked at the grapes that were obviously smaller, and immediately stopped talking.
Xiao Jiuyue smiled and continued to walk around Wan'an Street, which was different from the streets she imagined were full of rare treasures, and the food was just like that, it was not as good as her taro round red bean curd!
