Chapter 332: Twenty Years Later, My Son Will Come (4/5)
Three days later, the Imperial City of Jingzhou was already nightfall.
Wu Qian looked at the vendors around him, his eyes were complicated.
Revisiting the old place, it's a pity that things are not people, alas......
Ye Yuxi walked over and handed him a string of sugar gourds: "Taste it?"
Wu Qian took it and bit one and held it in his mouth...... Then I couldn't help but spit it out.
It's so sour!
This taste feels really familiar, and I don't know how many times I've eaten this broken thing, and eighty percent of it still comes out of the same house.
Wu Qian frowned and asked, "Where did you buy this?"
I'm afraid you've been cheated.
Ye Yuxi pointed to a middle-aged man not far away who was holding a stick full of sugar gourds.
Wu Qian squinted and looked at it, isn't this just the old man who sells sugar gourds!
It's just that now he looks like he's in his forties, and his hair and beard aren't all white.
Xuanji bought a sugar gourd from him when he was twelve years old, and later bought it from Xiaobai.
Not to mention, his sugar gourd is also a time-honored brand, and the taste has not changed in twenty years......
It's all the same acid!
A nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his foot to face the uncle...... Now it should be called uncle. He lifted his feet and walked towards the uncle.
Halfway through, he suddenly turned around, and Sheng Yeyun and the two almost hit him on the back.
"What's wrong?" Ye Yuxi wondered.
Wu Qian sighed and spread out his hands: "I have no money in my lower body, please lend me some money......"
Ye Yu smiled, took out a piece of silver and put it in his hand: "There is nothing to do, but ...... You have to promise me one thing. ”
Before Wu Qian could answer, there was suddenly an extra ingot of silver next to the silver that Ye Yu had put in his hand.
As soon as he raised his head, Sheng Yeyun whispered: "Brother Qu, I don't need you to promise anything." ”
Wu Qian: "......"
Ye Yuxi: "......"
Wu Qian tugged at the corners of his mouth, stuffed the two ingots of silver into his arms very naturally, and then said, "Actually, a few pennies are enough." ”
Ye Yuxi laughed, then took out a few copper coins and handed them to him: "Then it's decided, you have to promise me one thing." ”
"I have to be able to do it. Wu Qian shrugged, took the copper coin and walked towards the uncle who sold sugar gourds.
"Uncle, let's string sugar gourds. ”
The uncle didn't prepare it for him, but said suspiciously: "The girl next to you has already bought it once, and you still have to buy such a sour sugar gourd a second time?"
He had never met anyone who would buy a second sugar gourd from him.
"Is there still a business to do?" Wu Qian simply pulled a sugar gourd from the grass and wood stick by himself, "How much is a string?"
"A penny. The uncle replied, and then he asked again as if he couldn't believe it: "Little brother, are you sure you want to buy it a second time?"
Wu Qian smiled: "Of course." ”
Twenty years later, this sugar gourd will only sell for one or two pennies, and the price is quite affordable.
I didn't just buy it twice, but there were a third and fourth times in the future.
Then he ate a sugar gourd, and sure enough, it was still the same sour!
"I didn't expect that. Looking at Wu Qian's sour and distorted face, the uncle sighed, "There are still people who will eat such a sour sugar gourd for the second time." ”
"It turns out that uncle, you also know that you make sugar gourd acid. Wu Qian still didn't finish eating after all, "Since you know your own sugar cucurbitar acid, why don't you think about how to improve it?"
Twenty years later, it's still the same sour!
The uncle smiled: "This can't be improved." The acid is because the hawthorn used in this sugar gourd is originally sour, and there is no way about this. ”
After all, it was a home-grown hawthorn tree, and I didn't take much care of it.
"Dare you know that your own sugar gourd is not good...... Then you still take it out and sell it?" Wu Qian said in surprise.
And once sold, it will be twenty years, or even longer.
"The children of poor families have never eaten sugar gourds, and my sugar gourds are prepared for them. The uncle smiled, not caring.
His son worked as an errand in the imperial court, and the family was not short of money.
The hawthorn trees are used to grow their own trees, so they are sold cheaply, so that the children of those poor families can also taste the taste of sugar gourds.
Although the taste of this sugar gourd is too sour, in fact, those children are not for the taste, but simply for the sake of "eating sugar gourd".
"That uncle is also doing a good deed. Wu Qian arched his hand, "After saying so much, I still don't know the uncle's name?"
"I'm just an ordinary person, and my name is insignificant, just call me Old Man Lu. The uncle laughed and asked, "I just don't know the name of the little brother?"
"There is no name in the next song, Uncle Lu calls me Xiaoqu. Wu Qian smiled, "Uncle's sugar gourd is so distinctive, I will buy it again in the future." ”
He paused, and continued, "Even if I don't come, my son will come in the future, even after twenty years. ”
Uncle Lu was stunned and nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for the day your son comes." ”
Wu Qian bowed and turned to leave.
"It's time to do what you promised me. Ye Yuxi teased, "You are a dignified innate master, and if you can't speak, it doesn't count, right?"
Wu Qian pinched his eyebrows: "You talk about it first." ”
I'll decide whether to do it or not.
"Okay!" Ye Yuxi took a deep breath and said, "I want to visit the Qinglou." ”
Wu Qian: "What? Did I hear it wrong or did you say it wrong?
"Of course!" Ye Yuxi smiled cheaply, "I have heard since I was a child that when storytellers tell stories, there will always be young heroes who are in love with the top card in the green building, I just want to see what this top card looks like." ”
Wu Qian raised his eyebrows: "You must go?"
"A must go. Ye Yuxi nodded, "This imperial city is where the Great Zhou Imperial Palace is located, if you stab someone casually on the road, maybe he will be a dignitary, only the Qinglou in this place can be called the best Qinglou in the world." Only here is the top card of the Qinglou is the first card in the world!"
"......" Wu Qian sighed, "Then you can't go by yourself, why do you want to pull me?"
Ye Yuxi was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid." ”
Wu Qian: "......"
"Okay. He nodded, "But you two have to change your clothes into men's clothes, and the women go to the green house...... Those who don't know think you're going to catch traitors. ”
"This is easy to say, I have been prepared!" Ye Yuxi patted his chest...... And there was no bang.
The main chest is large, and the bones cannot be photographed.
Three quarters of an hour later, the two girls who had changed their clothes followed Wu Qiang to the door of the largest green building in the imperial city, "Langhuan Tower".
Dressed in men's clothes, Ye Yu, who was a little ruffian mixed with his heroic spirit, pushed Wu Qian: "Go in." ”
Sheng Yeyun, who was dressed as a scholar next to him, also nodded his little head and responded.
Wu was helpless: "It's not you coming, of course you go ahead!"
Ye Yu said angrily: "Then what do you want! Could it be that you are afraid?"
Wu Qian sneered: "How could I be afraid!"
However, Ye Yuxi pointed to his leg: "Then what are you shaking?"
Wu Qian lowered his head, and sure enough, his legs were swinging uncontrollably.
"I've never been to the Qinglou either. By the way, how can I pretend to visit the Qinglou often?"
Ye Yuxi pouted: "How do I know!"
After that, he pushed him in: "Why are you talking so much nonsense!
