The warm autumn breeze blew into the city, stopping in front of the small cart parked by the street.

On the cart, there is a round cage made of straw and wheat straw, and the cage is filled with bamboo skewers with strings of red wild fruits. In Pingshui County, located in the south of the South of the Yangtze River, this novelty has unsurprisingly ushered in people's curious eyes.

The sturdy man standing behind the cart was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately opened his throat: "Eh! Sell sugar gourds! Eh! Don't miss it when you pass by! Sell sweet and sour sugar gourds! One string of two texts! Two strings of three texts! Sell sugar gourds!"

The man's surname is Xu and he is a northerner. And the sugar gourd in his mouth is a popular candy snack in the area around Beijiang - Sugar Dun'er. Sugar dun er is generally the wild hawthorn wild with bamboo skewers into a string and then dipped in maltose syrup, the syrup is frozen hard in the wind, it tastes sour and sweet, cold and delicious, and it is deeply delighted by children. This sugar gourd is one in the north, and it has doubled in Pingshui County, becoming two and one - no wonder this man surnamed Xu, he went all the way from Jianzhou, the northernmost part of Yonghua, to Yongzhou, south of the Nanjiang River, but it took a lot of entanglement, so he always had to earn back some money for carriages and horses.

After shouting for a while, he sat down in the chair behind the car, untied the fur bladder with a northern flavor around his waist, and moistened his throat.

Truth be told, he didn't leave his homeland of his own free will...... Helplessly, the military barbarians in the north were ready to move all day long, and crossed the border with tens of thousands of people. And on the Yonghua side, although there is a Wuwu City in the northernmost top, but the two northern states are still not very peaceful, and if they stay there, there will definitely be only one way to fill the army and become a strong man. And although Xu Hanzi is strong, he is not a bold lord in his heart - he is afraid of the white knife entering the red knife, let alone killing people, even killing pigs. Since the second elder of the family has passed away a while ago, and he has not married a wife and started a family, he will try his luck in the south alone, even if he can't earn much silver, he can see Yongyang City, which is known as 'the world's luxury and luxury, and Yonghua has monopolized eight buckets'.

But then again, if the business of this sugar gourd is not good and you can't make a living, then it's okay to change to selling pancakes and fruits......

"Excuse me, how do you sell sugar gourds?"

A clear voice pulled his thoughts back to reality.

The stout man suddenly looked up at the young man standing in front of the cart.

In these days of going south, he can be regarded as seeing a lot of brightly dressed nobles, and understands what the elders mean by the 'fresh clothes and angry horses'. He thought that the so-called handsome and chic was like that...... Until this moment.

The young man was just dressed in plain white, and although his facial features were very upright, he could be regarded as thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he did not reach the point where he looked like Pan An as rumored. However, perhaps because of his peaceful demeanor, or perhaps because of his extraordinary temperament, or perhaps because of something else, the man surnamed Xu just glanced at him, and secretly shouted in his heart, 'What a little brother in the wind of Yushu!'.

Without waiting for the amazement in his heart to fade slightly, he inadvertently saw the graceful woman who was following the man, holding the water spirit girl, and his heart was stunned again. He didn't know much about what a 'match made in heaven' was, but now he understands it.

"Excuse me, how do you sell sugar gourds?"

As if thinking he hadn't heard, the young man repeated it with a slight increase in his voice.

"Oh oh!" Xu Hanzi came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said, "A string of two articles." Two strings of three texts. ”

"Then I'll take a bunch. ”

"Okay!"

The young man smiled faintly, took out two copper plates from the money bag around his waist and put them on the cart, then stretched out his hand and carefully took out a string of sugar gourds from the bamboo cage.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the sturdy man say in his rough voice: "Brother is so blessed!"

......

Bai Xiucai was a little crying and laughing.

Not only because there was an extra brother for some reason, but also because the 'woman' standing behind him was far from being his insider.

Bai Xiucai sighed lightly, turned around, bent down and squatted, and handed the string of sugar gourds to the little carp who was already slicing and swallowing saliva.

"Thank you, Brother Bai!"

Looking at Xiao Budian's happy appearance, he couldn't help but have some reverie.

If she gets married and has children in the future, will she be as lively and lovely as her?

Bai Xiucai raised the corners of his lips slightly and smiled at the shopkeeper.

The latter shook the fan lightly and squinted.

Today, it is rare for the Hongli Pavilion to be closed for a day, and the shopkeeper took Xiao Budian out to visit the market, and also added some autumn and winter clothes by the way; Xiao Er was ordered by the shopkeeper to go out of the city on this rare rest day to buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and went out of the store early in the morning; and Bai Xiucai, who had nothing to do, originally planned to stay in his own room for a whole day...... Unexpectedly, the kitchen behind the hall secretly set up a gambling table in the backyard, and the four of them said that they wanted to gamble while the shopkeeper was not 'drunk' and did not return, and even a few big roosters were ready. Bai Xiucai naturally didn't dare to gamble with them anymore, so the shopkeeper asked him to go with them and buy clothes together—I don't know if it was because he was worried that he would throw all the remaining broken silver into the Manyan Courtyard.

So, it's time to go.

Bai Xiucai turned sideways slightly, looked at the envious eyes of the strong man in the north, and smiled helplessly.

The neighborhood acquaintances in the city don't say anything because they know about it, but in the eyes of these travelers who have wandered from afar, he and them may be a picture of a family of three.

Although, she is twenty ...... older than him

"Went shopping for clothes. ”

The beautiful female voice came into his ears, and he was startled, and quickly nodded with a smile.

She gave him a suspicious look and chuckled.

Xiao Budian, who ate the clean sugar gourd, licked his mouth, trotted the bamboo stick into the crockpot pot on the side of the street, and trotted back to the two of them, holding him and her in one hand.

Laugh hehe.
