The Blessing of the Qi Nv of Transmigration

Chapter 17
I saw a huge and majestic green bull pitifully put on the shaft of the car, wearing a fashionable nose ring on the nose of the cow, with a fierce light in its big eyes, who stared at each other.

The three siblings watched from afar, thinking it was fun, but they didn't dare to go forward. At this time, Father Hu came over holding a bunch of potato seedlings with both hands, rolled them into a ball, and put them on the car. Hu Kang put the bucket on the back of the car. , Let Xiaochang and Xiaoguang go up first, sit on both sides, then help the younger sister into the car, let her sit in the middle, with her back against the bucket.Mrs. Shen also came out with a basket, and she was going to pick up the small fish. Most of the small fish picked up this summer were dried into the sun, and there were two or three catties a day. Do it, wait until the twelfth lunar month, and bring them together to the market to sell well.

Finally, Da Hu waited, and Da Hu turned out from the gable of the east house, holding three straw handles in his hand, walked up to the bullock cart, and said, "Come on, you three, stand up for a while, and find something for you to cushion. "The three children stood up again, asked Dahu to arrange the grass handles on the car board, and sat down again. It was much softer. Hu Kang and Shen sat down on the front of the car, one on the left and one on the right. A potato seedling was rolled into a ball and stuffed into Daniel's mouth, and then Chijiang led Daniel and started to set off.

The current shrimp cages are located far away from home, and they are scattered. In half a year, the river shrimps are no longer as easy to hold as before, and four more shrimp cages were added to keep the daily weight. Otherwise, I am sorry. It takes four hours of hard work to go back and forth every day.

After waiting for the shrimp cage, Mrs. Shen went home, filled two and a half buckets of shrimp and water and put them back on the carriage, and then the ox cart began to sway leisurely and started on the road. It was two days later than usual when we reached Fucheng. carve.

A car came to the back hall of Ruifuxian Restaurant, unloaded the bucket, drained the river shrimp, weighed two catties, went to the cashier to get the silver, put it in his arms, and gave the commission. Da Hu and Li Fat Chef went out together. At the Moon Gate in the backyard, seeing four children waiting in the cart, Chef Li Fatty said: "...I looked to the left to see if you didn't come, and I thought, there must be some delay Oh, it’s like returning home on time on weekdays, sure enough! Why, are you willing to take the children out for a stroll today?”

While looking up at the car, he couldn't help but praise: "Tsk tsk, look, you are really blessed, nephew, you have three sons and a daughter, all of them look upright, and you have this figure, they all look like you, and you will definitely look like you in the future." He's big." Da Hu said modestly, "They're all from poor families, not to mention average in appearance, no matter how good they are, they can't eat or wear anything, what's the use of it."

When I got closer, I saw that one of the girls was really beautiful, dignified and quiet, sparse and cold, and her temperament was different from the others. She was just showing her youth at a young age. Chef Li said in his heart: " It really is a golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop. Judging by the demeanor of this little lady, she looks like a charming lady from a rich family, not like a child from a poor man's family. Although she came from a poor family, the life of a girl depends on With this appearance, there may be some good fortune in the future, and it is not certain."

Because she was a girl, Chef Li didn't like to boast too much, so he had a few polite words with Dahu, and asked Dahu to take the children to go shopping quickly.

When he came to the street, Yang Feier shouted to Dahu: "Daddy, come here."

Da Hu laughed and said: "You are clever, what's the matter?" He jumped off the front of the car, stopped the ox cart, and turned to the back of the car.

Yang Feier chuckled, and said in a low voice, "Daddy, today I want to hold money, and my birthday is up to me."

Da Hu laughed and said, "Where is your birthday today? Today is only the second day of August. Your birthday is the eighteenth day of September. Don't you remember? It's still early!"

Yang Feier said aggrievedly: "Every year my birthday catches up with the busy farming season, and I have never had a good time. Today is the first episode in my life. It is a day worth remembering. I decided that today will be the same as my previous birthday." And make it up, Daddy, do you think it's okay?" After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and blinked upwards at Dahu with a pair of big black and white eyes.

When Da Hu was told by his daughter, he felt a little sad when he thought of the suffering his daughter had suffered before, and his heart melted when he was so cute and soft by his daughter, so he couldn't help but nodded: "What my family Xiuer said is also reasonable, I will keep all the money today for you, and you can buy whatever you want.” With a big hand in his pocket, he took out a brown money bag, handed it to his daughter, and said, “This is the money sold today. , a total of [-] Wen, I will exchange it for a silver ingot of one tael and some scattered silver, and see how my family Xiu’er spends this birthday, so that we can follow behind and rejoice.”

Holding the money bag, Yang Feier smiled and said, "Thank you Daddy, then please wait!" Hu Kang and his twins looked at him without blinking, and Daddy handed over so much money to him. Sister (sister)?

Hu Zhong got on the front of the car again and set up the ox cart.Hu Kang smiled and said, "Father, I think my younger sister has become more and more eccentric since her health recovered."

Da Hu said: "This is the blessing of surviving a catastrophe, your sister's blessing, now our family has all been affected, and the current life will be put on last year, but I dare not even think about it. Birthdays should be lively!"

Hearing this, Hu Kang turned around and smiled at Yang Feier: "Sister, what gift do you want for this year's birthday, you can think about it now, and tell your elder brother earlier, I'm afraid that if you want something weird, I really don't know Where to find it."

"Okay, from today onwards, I've started to think about it, and when I think about it, I'll tell my brother right away!" Yang Feier said with a sweet smile.

Send the oxcart to the cattle and horse farm at the end of the street. This place is equivalent to the current parking lot. There is a special person to guard it. You have to pay a guard fee of two yuan. Take down the remaining potato seedlings and three straw handles, open them, and pile them up. Under Niuzui, he told the spectator that he must take good care of it, and then officially started the highlight of the day-shopping.

Da Hu brought four children, to be exact, Da Hu and Hu Kang brought three children, stopped and stopped all the way, talking and laughing, watching the three siblings look like country bumpkins who are curious about everything , It's fun to follow behind.

The two twins are naturally very curious because of their young age, but Yang Feier feels like people are playing in a game, which is very novel.

On this market, there are many shops, crowds of people, stalls and hawkers, business is booming, noisy, shouting and bargaining, one after another, men, women, old and young, regardless of rich or poor, rubbing shoulders and throwing clothes.Sure enough, the prefecture city market is more lively than other places.

Entering a wine shop, I looked at the large and small wine jars, as small as a pumpkin and as big as a rock, and the bamboo wine handles used for measuring wine were hung in front of the cabinet according to the size. For two cups, Yang Feier made two catties of shochu.

I went into a grocery store and looked at the sorting of various household goods. The clerk was enthusiastically introducing the packaging to the guests, and bought two bottles of sweet-scented osmanthus oil for combing hair and two bottles of balm for facial cleansing for Wang and Shen.

Entering a cloth shop, there is a row of rolls of various colors on the counter, and a vertical row on the display cabinet behind. There is no shortage of linen, cotton, silk and satin. Yang Feier has seen it in Miscellaneous Notes, and now The cotton cloth is not spun from cotton, but is woven from the cotton wool produced in the fruit pods of kapok tree. It's not something that ordinary people can afford. If you pinch your wallet, forget it. There is still some plain linen cloth that Dahu bought last time. Let's talk about it later.

Hu suggested going to the blacksmith shop to buy two sickles. The twins can also go to the field to cut rice this year. They wandered here and there. The pastry shop called Baked Cunjin Peanut Candy, and the melon shop bought crispy pears and persimmons. Come here In half a year, fruit and snacks were out of stock for six months, and the family had no such expenses at all, so they bought a little less to satisfy the family's hunger.

Unexpectedly, the sun was rising and the people in Jishang gradually became thinner, and he said loudly, "Xiu'er, it's time to go back. I'm afraid it will be past dinner time when I get home."

"I'm not going home for dinner today. I'll treat you to a big restaurant." Yang Feier was standing by a sugar blower's booth, watching the craftsman blowing and kneading a ball of sugar into a horse. The shape, face does not change color.

The Hukang twins looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

Hu Kang said: "Sister, the food in the big restaurant is precious, even if you run out of money in your purse, it won't be enough."

Yang Feier said indifferently: "Then let's order some cheap ones and count the money." Then he asked: "Father, which restaurant is the biggest in Jishang in our Anhuai Mansion?"

"It's Ruifuxian who we just sold shrimp." Da Hu was stunned.

Yang Feier couldn't take his eyes off Tangren and said, "Okay, then let's go to Ruifuxian today!"

A group of people returned to Ruifuxian with the goods they bought, but this time they entered through the main entrance. The staff knew Da Hu and Hu Kang. Isn't this the father and son who come to deliver shrimps every day?Could it be that sending prawns to make a fortune and bringing the children to eat meat?I'm afraid that this time, the father and son will have to run for many days.While thinking about it, he came in and asked, "Guest officer, how many private rooms are there on the third floor, do you want to sit in a quiet place by the window? Elegant and quiet! You can also overlook the street view of our Anhuai Mansion."

Da Hu and the others were very cramped, standing in the luxurious and bright lobby, trying to calm down, but the eyeballs still couldn't help but glance around.

The restaurant has three floors, looking up, carved beams and painted pillars, magnificent, surrounded by two layers of red lacquered railings, there are a few rich people leaning on the railings and looking down, as if surprised by how many people are dressed like this Poor peasant children in linen patched clothes and oiled paper bags in their hands also appeared in this prosperous place, and Da Hu hurriedly turned his face away.

Looking around, I saw a giant octagonal palace lantern that was half the size of Hu's house hanging from the top of the third floor, and candles were lit in broad daylight.Bright and dazzling, it makes people dizzy.

Looking forward, there is a square counter in the middle and back, and the guys in uniform wearing sky blue cotton shorts are busy at the counter to settle the accounts, take the wine, and orderly, everything is as smooth as if it has been done thousands of times.

At this time, diners were already seated in twos and threes, and the voices of other waiters welcoming customers came from behind. After a while, it was time for the Venerable Master to see Da Hu standing in the middle, and they cast surprised glances. Da Hu and the others It was like a needle pricking my back, when I heard the clerk ask if I want a private room, I had to answer it, so I closed the door anyway, gave up all the money I had for selling shrimp today, ordered two dishes, and let the children eat it.

But in my ears, my daughter replied crisply: "No need, brother, we can just sit in this lobby, please arrange a seat in the middle."
