Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 16 Night Market ([-])

There are more than a dozen tables lined up in a row, and each table is covered with thick white felt, and the red, green, green, yellow and yellow liquid glass bottles on it are shining brightly under the light.

Wang Ling was thinking about rose water all the way, so she couldn't bear it now when she saw it, she went straight to the table where rose water was placed, pointed to one of the bottles of light yellow rose water and asked, "How do you sell this?
The big food merchant replied with an awkward accent: "230 money."

When she heard that it was nearly [-] cents cheaper than Rouge, Wang Ling blushed with excitement, and leaned closer to Wen Shu and said anxiously: "Wen Shu, Wen Shu, it's so cheap, you can buy a bottle too."

If things were left as usual, Wen Shu might be moved, but the current family situation is not good, her father is willing to save the few hundred Wen, and he is willing to go to the Zhao family to borrow things. If she still spends two or three hundred Wen It would be too ignorant to buy this.

"No, you can buy it, I don't usually like to use these things."

"Ah, don't." Wang Ling stared at the glazed vase stand and persuaded: "This thing smells delicious when you drip it on your body. People who pass by you can smell the fragrance. I don't know how popular it is when it's hot. Zhang’s ancient shop is often sold out, and now it’s probably because the weather is getting colder and colder, so the merchants from the big food country come to this Ma Xing Street to sell it cheaply, and they can’t be bought at this price usually.”

That posture of persuasion was really harder than a businessman from Dashi Kingdom, but Wen Shu still shook his head: "No, I still have to save money to buy a waist protector for my father. Let's talk about this later."

Seeing that Wang Ling couldn't persuade her, she had to give up, and saw that many people had already paid in front of the stall. She was afraid that the rose water would be sold out if she was too late, so she hurriedly paid and asked the stall owner to wrap it up for her.

"You are going back to Zhengzhou to visit your relatives in the beginning of the year. The saluting servants along the way have been arranged properly. Do you want my brother to palm you?" Lu Yuancheng lowered his head and asked, taking a sip of his tea.

Seeing that there was no response from the other side, he looked up in surprise, only to find that she was looking down with her head tilted.

"What are you looking at?" He followed her gaze down.

It's just that Wen Shu and Wang Ling below had already squeezed out of the booth at this time.

Lu Xingwan turned her head, with a look of envy on her face, "That's great." She sighed.

"What?" Lu Yuancheng was startled.

"It's good to squeeze in the crowd wantonly, talk and joke wantonly, don't have to worry about it, don't have to worry about it."

Looking at her pale and thin cheeks, Lu Yuancheng understood, with a look of pity on his face, "I want to visit the night market tonight, let's go, brother will accompany you, let's go shopping there today too."

Lu Xingwan was startled, then opened his eyes, "Really?"

"Of course, let's go."

Lu Yuancheng smiled slightly, told the maid to wait there, and took Lu Xingwan out of the restaurant.

Surrounded by the bustling crowd, Lu Xingwan's face was blushing with excitement. Pedestrians on both sides walked past her talking, and some of them even rubbed against her with the corners of their clothes, but she felt very happy.

At this time, there was a commotion from a grilled lamb chops stand on the right, and some people queuing up to buy lamb chops started scrambling for it.

"Shopkeeper, give me a grilled lamb chop, which should be thinner."

"Give it to me, I want a fat one."

"Hey, why squeeze, I came first."

Seeing her staring there fixedly, Lu Yuancheng asked: "You want to eat in the evening too?"

Lu Xingwan shook his head, "No, I have a weak stomach and I can't eat it, don't turn around and make brother worry." He pointed to the front and said enthusiastically: "I heard that there is a seller of gadgets in front, brother Come with me to see."

Lu Yuancheng agreed to everything, and while walking behind her carefully, he used his hands without showing any traces to help her block the collisions of some people on the left and right.

Wen Shu looked at Wang Ling who was holding rose water and two boxes of rouge with a smirk on her face, and shook her head and laughed: "Now I am happy, the rose water that I have been thinking about can be regarded as bought."

"That's it." Wang Ling smiled triumphantly, put the box to her nose and took a breath: "I just sniffed it secretly, and the scent is exactly the same as the one in Zhang's ancient shop. It can't be wrong. It's a pity if you don't buy it, really." Unexpectedly, it can be so much cheaper, and now I regret not buying two more bottles."

"Come on, I'll buy two more bottles, just take it when you see it." Wen Shu shook his head disapprovingly.

After buying the rose water she had been longing for, Wang Ling was not in a hurry to go back. Looking at the stalls selling flower hairpins on both sides, she pulled Wen Shu forward with bright eyes.

"Does this hairpin look good?" She took a butterfly hairpin and gestured on her head.

Wen Shu was surprised and said: "You have already bought rose water and rouge, you still want to buy it!"

Wang Ling smiled: "I didn't plan to buy it at first, but I didn't expect rose water to be so much cheaper. This saved nearly a hundred yuan for nothing. If I don't buy something to go back, I'm afraid I will be so excited that I won't be able to sleep at night. "

Wen Shu was also speechless, but Wang Ling's family was much better off than her. There were three older brothers, and there was only one daughter in the family, who was doted on by almost the whole family. Such daily expenses were not lacking.

"This one, isn't it prettier than the one just now?" Wang Ling put down the butterfly hairpin and took a green hairpin to make gestures on her head.

Wen Shu looked at it seriously for a while, and whispered in her ear: "It's better than the one just now, but I don't think these things suit you."

After hearing this, Wang Ling put down the hairpin embarrassingly, and said in a muffled voice, "Then let's go to another place to have a look."

Wen Shu nodded, but his eyes kept watching the food stalls on both sides.

When Wang Ling saw her, she said that she was hungry and wanted to eat. She immediately waved her hand and said generously, "Be hungry, let's go. There is a shop selling tofu nao in front of you. I'll treat you to eat."

"no."

Before Wen Shu could finish his sentence, a man of half size suddenly ran out from the sideways, knocking them into a stagger.

Wang Ling tightened the box and cursed angrily, "Who, you don't have eyes when you walk!"

Unexpectedly, after the boy bumped into someone, he didn't express his apology at all. He got up and ran away. Wang Ling was so angry that she jumped up and down, hugging the box and yelling loudly, causing people on both sides to stop and look at her.

Wen Shu pulled her sleeve and said in a low voice, "Forget it."

Wang Ling touched the things in the box angrily, and said bitterly: "It's a good thing it didn't crash, otherwise I would have to drag him to pay for it." "

Wen Shu smiled, took two steps forward, suddenly stopped, and touched his waist: "Oops! Money bag!"

Wang Ling's face froze when she heard the words, and then she touched the purse at her waist and was furious: "That's a thief!"

While she was speaking, Wen Shu had already set foot to chase after her, and Wang Ling froze for a moment, but followed closely behind.

However, the night market on Maxing Street is busy and there are so many pedestrians, it is even more inconvenient to chase him. The young man may be handed, his body twists and turns like a slippery fish in the crowd, and he is easily drowned in the sea of ​​people.

Fortunately, Wen Shu's sharp eyes kept staring at the erratic yellow cloth scarf above his head, so that he could lock on the target firmly, but even so, he almost missed it several times.
