Chapter 70 72: Sweet dates (2)

In the cold winter months, it was difficult for a merchant to sell things there. He vaguely looked at a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old. She looked a little yellow, yellow and black, and she was only wearing a thin layer of clothes.

His mouth was purple from the cold, and his face was pale.

Although there are not many vendors shopping on the first day of the new year, there are not many people who come out to buy things on the first day of the new year——

……

Lin Xiang approached the little girl who bought dates, "How much?" There was curiosity in his eyes.

The little girl's face was pale at the moment, her lips were a little purple from the cold, she shrank and looked up at Lin Xiang——

Hearing the sound, two expressions of joy immediately appeared in his eyes, and he said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, three copper coins and a big bag—"

Lin Xiang nodded, and then took two steps forward, who knew that before he squatted down, there was a panicked voice-"Two copper coins for a package..."

Lin Xiang was a little surprised when he heard the sound, and raised his head to look, only to see the other party looking at her in shock.

"Sister, do you still buy it?" The little girl asked with a trembling face.

These words turned in Lin Xiang's mind, and Lin Xiang knew what was going on in an instant——

Smiling, Lin Xiang nodded: "I bought it, but I have to take a look—"

After all, Lin Xiang squatted down, approached the pile of jujubes as high as a hill, and carefully picked them——

In Lin Xiang's memory, winter dates do not necessarily have any special symbols, and some dates need to be carefully selected, but Lin Xiang recalled that when eating dates in modern times, most dates, as long as the time is ripe, are producing dates Most of the ones bought in season are very sweet.

However, jujubes are purely bought for dry eating in winter. Based on Lin Xiang’s recollection, this kind of situation is rare. Jujubes are different from other fruits, and they are not bought often at home. Only use it for other purposes.

Lin Xiang felt that as long as most of the dates are darker red, they are the sweetest when they are boiled or made into soup, or dried.

It doesn't need to be too big, Lin Xiang has little experience in picking dates, but when she cooks, if she needs to use bought dates, she will pick some red ones herself——

After taking a general look around, Lin Xiang nodded, and said to the girl who bought dates: "It's done, just pack these up for me—" Lin Xiang picked and picked, and then said.

The little girl has quick hands and feet. After Lin Xiang finished speaking, the girl quickly picked up the things for Lin Xiang, and after a short while, she wrapped a big bag for Lin Xiang.

Lin Xiang looked up at the girl who had sniffed her snot, took the big bag of dates, and touched her body——

"Ten coppers—"

Counting out ten copper coins, Lin Xiang nodded, and then handed the money to the girl——

Seeing that the other party stretched out his thin fingers to take the money.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Lin Xiang was rarely in deep thought. After a while, he opened the wrapped jujube, reached out and squeezed the jujube inside, rubbed it on his body twice, and then put it in his mouth, "Kazhi—" crisp He took a bite and chewed—after a while, Lin Xiang nodded——

Turning around, Lin Xiang looked up at the girl.

The girl thought that Lin Xiang was going to leave, but she turned around again, and after tasting a jujube... Seeing this, she couldn't help worrying: Could it be that the jujube is not sweet, and she wants to refund the money...

"In addition to selling dates in winter, what else do you sell in other seasons?"

The girl was a little stunned when she heard the words, and looked at the other party with a dull look——

I never thought that Lin Xiang would say this, and blurted out blankly: "In summer, there are cassava flour and noodles made of cassava flour, and in autumn, there are oranges..."

Lin Xiang was taken aback, noodles made of cassava flour?

What are tapioca noodles made of?
After thinking about it, Lin Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then felt that there were two unbelievable portions, and said, "Cassava flour is... vermicelli...??"

The girl was a little dazed, she was interrupted, thought for a while, and then struggled to recall something, nodded and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, that's what my sister said, but I can't remember it—"

vermicelli...

Lin Xiang thought for a while, and suddenly thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind...

Cassava is a kind of potato similar to sweet potato and white potato, but it is not the same as sweet potato and white potato, but it is similar to wide noodles. It is a food that has been produced by hand or machine and developed into a finished product...

Vermicelli...it was rare in ancient times, mostly pasta, just...

Lin Xiang was a little surprised, and immediately raised his head and asked, "Your sister? These things are made by your sister...that's what... Vermicelli!"

"En... En..." The girl saw Lin Xiang's face suddenly pale with shock, and two inexplicable fears welled up in her heart——

Lin Xiang's heart seemed to be jumping out of his throat, he couldn't say...

"That's it, I tasted these dates very delicious. If your family is short of money, or interested in making money, why not go to the small street next to the alley after the market, there is a restaurant there Come next summer with cassava noodles—" Lin Xiang slightly stopped his trembling heart, looked at the girl and said.

The girl was stunned for a while after hearing the words, and she didn't come back to her senses until Lin Xiang left, and she didn't realize what she meant for a while——

Lin Xiang was carrying a large bag of dates, and as he walked, he was thinking about what happened just now——

If it is really as she guessed, then what?
Lin Xiang was suddenly a little surprised in his heart, and he didn't dare to think...

After returning home, Lin Xiang just calmed down slightly——

……

After unpacking a large bag of dates, Lin Xiang took out a small bowl, washed some of the dates, and put them on the table——

Lin Yan took it, reached out and casually picked up one of them, brought it to his mouth and began to chew——

"Shall I tell you something?"

While eating, Lin Yan asked, "What's the matter?" The sweet juice in his mouth overflowed the tip of his tongue, and slid down his throat into his lungs. It was really sweet to the heart, and the juice was also abundant—

"Actually, something happened when I went to buy dates today—" Lin Xiang looked at Lin Yan with a serious expression——

Lin Yan didn't care much, just nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

Lin Xiangning thought about it for a while, and after a while, said: "I think, maybe... Maybe there are people who travel like us in this era—"

"Cough-cough-"

Lin Xiang immediately stretched out his hand and patted Lin Yan's back, while blaming him, "Eat slowly."

Even if the dates are sweet enough, it's hard to hide Lin Yan's rhythm of spraying rice. He raised his head with an expression of disbelief, his eyes were as big as copper bells: "You, what are you talking about?"

Lin Xiang nodded, reaching for the bowls and chopsticks at the side, poured out a bowl, then handed it to Lin Yan, and said slowly: "I said, I think there may be people who traveled through this era like us."
