I went back to ancient times to do business with my game account

Chapter 103

Qiao Yun, who was being talked about silently by Yun Xuemei, was dressing up with Meng Shaoqing at the county magistrate's mansion,
The clothes that Meng Shaoqing brought back to her from Jiangzhou City before, Qiao Yun has not been wearing, it is still brand new.Qiao Yun took it out today to see what the dress looks like.

The camellia-red upper jacket is sewn with silk floss which is neither light nor heavy, and symmetrical magnolia flowers are embroidered along the middle seam. There are twelve interlaced skirts in grape purple, the dark blue ones occupy a larger area than the grape purple ones, and the plum patterns are embroidered with silver thread like embellishments, leaving a large part of it blank (or black).

Biyue calmly combed their hair into buns and put on jewelry.

Gu Yu, on the other hand, was absent-mindedly helping Bi Yue to hold the jewelry box, with a hint of anxiety on his brows.Fortunately, the attention of the other three people was not on her, and no one noticed her abnormality.

"Sister Ayun, you look so pretty!" Meng Shaoqing was overjoyed as she watched Qiao Yun put on her own makeup in front of the mirror.

"You look good too!" Qiao Yun chuckled.Meng Shaoqing is still wearing the clothes she saw that day. One is lively and light, the other is dignified and bright. Standing together is a very eye-catching scenery.

"Going out for shopping today, let's not take the car! Let's go!" Seeing Qiao Yun tidy up, Meng Shaoqing enthusiastically pulled her up and walked to the door, "There are a lot of delicious and fun things on the street tonight. Tan, it happens that the two of us didn't have dinner, so how about eating all the way?"

Qiao Yun nodded: "Okay." She had already taken Tongtong coins, split them into coins, and prepared to spend them tonight.All the money was in the game backpack, and I only grabbed a handful and put it in the purse on my body as a cover. "I brought enough money today. You gave me such beautiful clothes. I want to treat you to eat enough today. You mustn't refuse!"

"Okay, okay, then I won't be polite!" Meng Shaoqing smiled from ear to ear.

After going out, Qiao Yun's breath was stagnant.

She didn't feel anything during the day, but now it was dark, and she realized what "Dongfeng night puts flowers and thousands of trees" is.

The afterglow of the setting sun is like molten gold, and the willow-colored smoke is getting thicker and thicker.The long street facing the Weihe River is full of fiery trees and silver flowers, and the trees by the river have not yet sprouted, and flowers cut from colored paper are glued to them at this time.The bright colors of the lights seem to separate the earth from a distance, the lanterns are brilliant, and the numerous lights spread forward all the way, as if the sparks of the Milky Way are falling, and the bright lights hanging from the eaves of the high-rise buildings are like the bright moon in the sky.

All kinds of hawkers on both sides of the street come out to sell, some jugglers, some sell food, some play monkeys, and the noise of selling is endless.Some people held lanterns made of koi, jellyfish and golden dragons and paraded in groups among the crowd, as if a picture scroll of Dragon Palace was spread out in the night sky.The pedestrians on the long street are crowded with each other, and the voices of people are full of voices, which makes people look trendy.

"Pearl balls—sweet and glutinous pearl balls!"

Hearing the hawker's yelling, Meng Shaoqing cheered immediately: "Pearl balls! Let's go buy them!" Then she pulled Qiao Yun into the crowd, Biyue tightly held Meng Shaoqing's other hand, followed closely After that, I was afraid that my lady would disappear in the blink of an eye.Gu Yu was about to say hello to his lover first, but seeing this scene, he had no choice but to follow, so he waved his hands in the direction of the Changji Bridge through the crowd, and then stamped his feet to follow in the footsteps of the three of them.

Squeezing through the crowd and coming to the stall, the smell of honey came suddenly. The stall in front of me was a small wheeled cart covered with wood, with a charcoal stove and a clay pot boiling hot water on one side, and a pot of rolling glutinous rice balls on the other. Dustpan, in the middle is a large platter, and next to it are small bamboo tubes for bamboo sticks and a pot-bellied earthen jar for honey, which is extremely attractive.

There is also a wooden sign hanging on the side, which reads: five strings for one string, fifteen strings for four strings, children and old people are not deceived!

Meng Shaoqing excitedly compared two fingers: "I want four strings of pearl balls!"

The pearl pill seller was a very capable old man with frosty hair and a neatly combed bun.The blue-gray sackcloth on his body is also very clean, which is reassuring to look at. "What flavor do you two ladies want? Honey and purple sugar, which one do you want?"

Purple sugar?Qiao Yun took a look at the earthen jar, isn't this brown sugar syrup?She remembered that "New Tang Book" said that Emperor Taizong sent envoys (to India) to learn the method of boiling sugar.The local soup cooking technology has been improved, and it is not surprising that there is brown sugar now.Thinking of the delicious brown sugar glutinous rice cake, she stretched out her finger and said, "I want purple sugar! Sprinkle more soybean flour!"

"Then I want honey! What flavor do you two want?" Meng Shaoqing turned to look at Bi Yue and Gu Yu.

Gu Yu was very surprised. She didn't expect that the third lady would still miss herself when she bought food, so she shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine with everything."

"The maid wants some purple granulated sugar." Biyue thought for a while, "I also want a bunch of purple granulated sugar for my sister Gu Yu!"

"Okay!" The old man immediately began to make meatballs quickly.

I saw him knead the glutinous rice flour with water to make a dough of medium size, then divided it into small balls of small size, threw it into boiling water and rolled it for a minute or two. Take it out, put it in ice water for a while, and take a bamboo skewer in the other hand and string it out three times and four times, pour honey and purple sugar, and sprinkle thick soybean powder.

The old man handed over the dumpling, and Qiao Yun hurriedly took out fifteen Wen from her purse and put it into the bamboo tube where the money was placed on the booth.

Meng Shaoqing was so happy that she distributed two purple sugar balls to Qiao Yun, Bi Yue, and Gu Yu behind her, and urged: "These pearl balls are delicious only after they are cooked, eat them while they are hot, and don't let them cool down." !"

High temperature will destroy the taste of honey. Meng Shaoqing can easily take a big bite of the cold honey at room temperature and the dumplings that have been soaked in cold water.However, in order to ensure that the syrup of purple sugar does not solidify, it also needs to be boiled slowly on a small fire.The luster on the balls is like the river water reflecting the lanterns, and the bright red color of the purple sand syrup adds a bit of liveliness to the balls.The cooked meatballs were steaming hot, and she blew hard before biting off a meatball.

"Shasha!" Qiao Yun covered her mouth.

"I'll let you eat it while it's hot, why don't you blow it off!" Meng Shaoqing giggled.

"But it's delicious." Qiao Yun licked the syrup on her lips and took another bite.

The glutinous rice dumplings are soft and chewy, and there should be some medicinal materials added to the purple sand syrup. The fireworks in the sky are even more gorgeous.

The two walked forward while eating, Biyue followed closely beside Meng Shaoqing, savoring carefully the pearl balls handed by the third lady.

The noisy noise on the street covered up a lot of small details. What the three of them didn't know was that, a few steps away behind them, a clean-dressed and energetic young man ran to Gu Yu's side in a few steps.

"Good sister! You're easy for me to find." Taking advantage of the crowd, he hugged Gu Yu's slender waist, buried her behind her ears and took a deep breath: "Sister, did you change your hair oil today? This smells better than before!"

Gu Yu blushed, and hurriedly pushed him away: "Death! Don't go crazy on the street! Here, this is for you!" She brought the pearl balls in her hand to Xiao Langjun's mouth.

Mr. Xiao Lang took advantage of the opportunity and bit off a dumpling, which was so hot that he had no time to chew it, and swallowed it whole.But in order to show that he was serious about tasting again, he smacked his lips: "It's delicious, sister Gu Yu, what you gave me is more delicious than anything else."

"Your mouth is the poorest." Gu Yu smiled and stretched out his onion finger to poke his cheek, "Be respectful, I'm following the third lady, let's take a good look at the lights, don't bother me. "

Hearing this, Xiao Lang smiled and took the hand of the little lady beside him, and Gu Yu no longer focused on "watching the two ladies well", and concentrated on walking forward slowly side by side with the lover, while walking. While pointing at the lanterns and tree lights.

The Shangyuan Festival was originally a good day for unmarried men and women to go out for a tryst. The tourists around are not surprised by this. After all, the couples on this street are not bad for the two of them...
