The distance from Qingshui Village to the town is not close or far.

Qi Heng packed the prey he had handled yesterday in a basket early in the morning, and carried it to Li's house to take Daddy Suyi's carriage, Daddy Suyi had already gotten up and was leaning on the gate of his yard waiting for Qi Heng.

Yesterday, when Qi Heng was having dinner at Li's house, Qi Heng told him that he was going to take his car to the town to sell prey this morning.

Seeing that Qi Heng came from afar, he hurriedly turned around and led the carriage out of the hospital, beckoned him to carry the things into the carriage first, and asked Qi Heng to sit down, and he drove the carriage to send people to the backyard of a restaurant in the town first.

In the early morning, there was still some white fog in the air.

Su Yi's father drove the carriage carefully, for fear that something bad would happen on the road, Qi Heng in the carriage closed his eyes and didn't speak quietly.

In the mountains and countryside, an ordinary carriage drove smoothly, and when the white fog around it gradually dissipated, it passed by a stone bridge, and finally arrived in the town, and the carriage drove to the place where the carriage was going. Slowly, the carriage drove to the back door of a restaurant and stopped. This is Su Yi's father reminding Qi Heng that he has arrived.

Qi Heng nodded, got out of the carriage again, Su Yi's father helped Qi Heng move all the baskets together, Qi Heng took out a few copper plates from his money bag and handed them to Su Yi's father, Su Yi's father smiled and took it, and said, "I'll go first." ”

Then he got into the carriage and drove away.

Qi Heng glanced at Su Yi's father driving away, and he himself turned around to look at the best restaurant in the town, "Hongyun Restaurant", and then looked at the sky, raised his steps and took two steps forward, knocked on the door of the backyard, and soon the door of the backyard opened, and the man who opened the door saw that it was Qi Heng, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are here, I will immediately call you Butler Tong." ”

Qi Heng nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Jiang." ”

The man who was called Brother Jiang was shorter than Qi Heng, his body was a little thinner, but he was very white, he smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Qi, you can wait a while~"

Qi Heng waited for a while, and a middle-aged man wearing a thin cotton robe came out, followed by the man who had just called him.

The man saw Qi Heng with a smile on his face, and when Qi Heng saw him, he arched his hand and said, "Brother Tong." ”

This person who is called Brother Tong is not the shopkeeper Tong in the mouth of the man surnamed Jiang before.

The shopkeeper himself would not personally deal with such trivial matters.

This is called Brother Tong by Qi Heng, he is the son of the shopkeeper of Hongyun Restaurant, and now he is also helping out at Hongyun Inn and doing some shopping affairs.

Earlier, Qi Heng and Hongyun Restaurant reached an agreement, and his prey was sent to this restaurant. Because he hunts a lot of prey, fresh, guests love to eat, unlike some other hunters, today may be delivered next month, sometimes inn guests want to eat, there is no supply.

No, Qi Heng sent the prey in a much more timely manner, except for the heavy snow in winter, he always had to send it several times every month on weekdays.

Therefore, the shopkeeper Tong also explained, as long as he sent it up, he would tell the porter at the back door to inform him.

The young Tong brother followed Qi Heng to see the prey he brought today, nodded, took out the money bag, counted the silver taels and handed it to Qi Heng.

Qi Heng took it, and said again: "When Brother Tong has time, I will invite you to have a drink." ”

"Haha, okay, I'll call you when I have time~"

Qi Heng smiled, and Brother Tong also bowed his hand and said, "I also want to trouble Brother Qi to help lift the kitchen together." ”

"Good"

The three big men took all the prey into the big kitchen in the backyard of the restaurant after a while, Qi Heng greeted Brother Tong, and went out with Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang sent him to the door, Qi Heng took out a handful of broken silver in his arms, stuffed it into Brother Jiang, and said, "Brother Jiang, this is to invite you to drink." ”

"Brother Qi is polite~"

Brother Jiang only took one of the pieces of broken silver, pushed the rest back to him, said goodbye to him with a smile, and then entered the back door of the Hongyun Inn and closed the door.

Qi Heng looked at the closed back door and put the remaining broken silver in his hand back into his arms.

Then go to the place where the shops in the town are gathered.

The distance from Qingshui Village to the town is not too close, and after a delay in Hongyun Restaurant, the sun is already high in the sky, and the fog has already dissipated.

Qi Heng carried his empty basket with a flat pole and walked to a steamed bun shop that sold breakfast, he unloaded the things, walked in and bought four steamed buns with the lady who sold the buns, saw that the shop on the side had tea to sell, and asked for a bowl of tea, paid the copper plate, sat on the stool of the tea shop, and ate the buns, the wind was good, he thought about it and said: "Auntie, can I put my things here for a while." ”

The lady who sold tea smiled while busy: "It's okay, put it away, you put it in that corner." ”

The eldest lady freed up a hand and pointed, Qi Heng nodded and thanked "Thank you, auntie."

"It's okay, just remember to come and get it. ”

"Good. ”

Qi Heng picked up his own things and put them in the corner of the eldest lady's tea shop, this is not the first time he has put things in her, the two have long been acquainted, the eldest lady's tea is boiled well, he will drink a bowl or two when he comes to town.

After he put his things away, he said to the eldest lady again and walked out of the tea shop.

At this time, there are more people on the street, there are many small shops on both sides of the street, the early morning sun is sprinkled in front of the small shops, sprinkled in front of the shops, sprinkled on the ground, looking up, the crowd is moving, people are coming and going, bustling.

The shops on both sides of the street, there are small shops that sell goods, there are iron, there are fortune tellers on both sides of the street, and there are also vegetable sellers~

In the middle of the street, there are people who ride donkeys to pull goods, there are people who drive by in horse-drawn carriages, there are people who carry flat poles to hurry, and there are also people who walk around empty-handed.

Qi Heng walked for a while and saw a grocery store crowded with people, he touched the silver two in his arms, walked in, and the proprietress who greeted him saw him come in, and asked him enthusiastically what he wanted to buy?

Qi Heng thought of what he was thinking in his heart, and said with a sinking face: "Wrap me a four-color sugar (rock sugar, cake, winter melon sugar, golden canopy, which is generally used locally for employment under happy events.'" ）”

"Okay, the guest officer is going to have a happy event? Do you want to see other things? Dragon and Phoenix Candles, Xilian, Post Box, I have all this little shop~"

Qi Heng seemed to have his thoughts exposed, his face burned instantly, and he said embarrassedly: "Buy these first." ”

"Okay, I'll help the guest officer wrap it up first~"

The proprietress wrapped the four-color candy and told Qi Heng the price, Qi Heng paid the money, quietly picked up the wrapped four-color candy and walked out of the shop, he looked up at the sunshine outside, and felt that his whole body was a little hot, and his face became more and more feverish.

He paused in front of the shop for a moment, and then went to buy something else with a pretended composure.

First, he added some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to be used at home, bought some pastries, and then he bought women's silk flowers, two carved silver hairpins, a pair of carved bracelets, etc.

When these things were almost bought, and seeing that it was not early, he found a good restaurant on the side of the street, walked in, and then chose a place by the window to sit down, and put the things in his hand at his feet.

The restaurant guy Xiao Er hurriedly came to greet and serve~

He asked for another meat and a vegetable, and then sat and waited for the meal to be served.

The waiting process was a little boring, and he looked out the window.

There were two men at the table next to him, chattering and drinking wine and talking loudly, looking at the excitement, as if to say something lively, he turned his head to look at them, and listened casually.

One of them mentioned Qingshui Village, and Qi Heng glanced at them again, a little curious, and calmed down to listen to their conversation.

I only heard one of the men speak: "I don't know what Xiao Yu thinks, the girls don't want to pay attention to him, he still has a dead face, and he makes himself lovesick, and now it's okay, lying on the sickbed with a look of dying~"

"I don't know what's so good about his cousin, you say it's good, it's really cute, but it's not like there's no better than his cousin in our town, just for a girl, as for it?"

"Tsk, come and eat~"

One man took a bite of the dish, another man picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and one of them said again: "But it's strange to say, haven't you always had a good relationship with Xiao Yu and his cousin in the past?

"This woman, you don't understand, there must be a better one, I can't look down on Xiao Yu~"

"Tsk~Come and drink~"

Qi Heng listened to the two of them chatting with each other, and looked at them a few more times, Qingshui Village, Xiao Yu, cousin, lovesickness?

He shook his head, he didn't know who they were talking about.

In Qingshui Village, he has been living for almost two years.

But he only has a lot of contact with Uncle Chen and the Li family, and other villagers usually have some contact, but he doesn't know much about the relationship and things of whose family.

Just thinking about it, the guy in the store had already come with a plate of prepared dishes, the guy put the dish on the table in front of Qi Heng, and brought chopsticks over to make another meal, beckoning him to use it first, and after a while, another dish also came up, Qi Heng ate his own food, and didn't care about the two people at the table next to him.

Halfway through the meal, the guy in the store came out again, holding a plate in his hand, there were many red eggs in it, he reached out and took two red eggs and sent them to Qi Heng's table, Qi Heng looked up at the guy with some doubts, the guy's appearance was clever, and he saw Qi Heng's doubts, and before he could ask, he spoke first: "Guest officer, this is what my shopkeeper asked us to send, all the people who came to eat today are there, and the big fat boy of my shopkeeper is full moon~"

When Qi Heng heard this, he remembered the shopkeeper of this restaurant, and couldn't remember his appearance?

Qi Heng shook his head and smiled: "Thank you for being the shopkeeper." ”

The guy who delivered the eggs in the store smiled, nodded, and turned to the other new guest officers to greet the red eggs.

These red eggs, they have already sent several pots today, and every time they cook a pot, they will bring it out and send it once.

I saw a guest officer who took the red eggs from the guy and said: "In a blink of an eye, the children of your shopkeeper are all full moon, I think I was trying to pursue her back then~"

A man who came to eat with the guest officer should be harmonious: "I think that as soon as your restaurant opened, I waited for these people to come to cheer for it, what am I waiting for? It's not a picture of when I can enter the eyes of the shopkeeper in your house~"

"Haha~ When your shopkeeper stopped in front of the door, the business of your restaurant improved~"

"That's not, talented and good-looking women, who doesn't like them?"

"Haha, who ever thought, I'll wait, she didn't look at any of them~"

Several other men who were eating when they heard the two men speak also laughed and responded.

One of them said: "The shopkeeper of Ann is bright and moving, but it's a pity, it's a pity that I have a child before I get married, and I don't know whose child it is~"

"I heard, it's adopted?"

"It seems to be raised, I heard that half a year ago, Shopkeeper An broke his leg by the bridge, and he has been raising his leg, and he doesn't have a body, why do he have a child?"

"yes, whose child is this, and who is the one who raised him?"

"Hey, I also heard that it was raised~"

"How did I hear that she gave birth to herself?"

"She didn't get married, who did she have?"

"You don't understand this~"

The man laughed evilly.

"You don't care if she gave birth to herself, anyway, I don't have a chance, and she can't look down on us people~"

Several other men laughed again~

Qi Heng only noticed at this time, he was still strange in the past, every time he came to this restaurant to eat, it was basically a man, he only thought at first that since they were all men, they would eat without restraint and be more enjoyable, but then he thought, now?

He thought carefully about what they called Shopkeeper An, he seemed to have seen it?

I don't think I've seen it again?

He thought about it, then stopped thinking about it, and lowered his head to eat his own food again.

The guy in the shop who delivered the red eggs also smiled, finished the plate of eggs, and turned to greet the other customers.

Their shopkeeper is indeed bright and moving, and these guys were also amazed by her beauty back then, and secretly guessed what kind of man the shopkeeper would marry in the future, but she would have a child quietly.

At first, he only knew that about ten months ago, the shopkeeper had gone out of the house, and after he came back, he stayed in the backyard all day and didn't go out much~

Later, she said that she broke her leg and wanted to recuperate~

"Little Er, do you know where the kid in your shopkeeper came from?"

The guy in the store was stopped by a customer.

Then, the other guests should say in harmony: "That's it, Xiao Er, do you know where the child in your shopkeeper came from?

A guest then said: "Say it quickly, little second brother~"

"It's a hug!"

"That family is poor, afraid that they won't be able to support it, and within a few days of giving birth to the child, they asked someone to bring it to my shopkeeper~"
