Husband, Have Dinner

Chapter 4: Teahouse surprise

Next to the official road, the tea stands and smokes.

"Wait for me to stop and take a rest." The woman in front of the tea stand sang. A Yao thought she wanted to rest. After watching for a long time, she realized that this was her tea stand advertising slogan, which was to attract customers with singing.

Three or four out of ten pedestrians who enter the city will stop at the tea stand, have a bowl of herbal tea, two or three steamed cakes, eat and drink before entering the city.

The tea stall is not far from the gate of the city, where the letter "Nanxun County" is written.

In front of the gate of Nanxun County, a few Zaoyi yamen guarded them, checking the guides of people entering the city. Ayao watched the people queuing into the city handing over the wad of paper filled with words. After reading it roughly and comparing it a few times, Ayao gave the way back to them, waved his hand to signal him to go in, and the next one was the same.

She was in trouble, "Without a guide, how can I get into the city? I can't get in even if I climb a wall..."

"Lady boss, here are three steamed cakes and a bowl of tea!"

"Okay!"

As the lady of the tea stall opened the basket on the pot, the steam rushed out, and the scent of rice drew into A Yao's nose with the wind. She sniffed vigorously, revealing a happy expression.

It is delicious, the grains grow strong under the sun, thresh, grind into coarse or fine flour, mix the rice milk with miscellaneous grains, knead into a ball, cover with a damp cloth to wake up, knead the dough, knead the dough again after waking up, and put it inside Knead out the air bubbles, fold the dough in a circle and cut it into small steamed buns. This family likes to spread a piece of dried lotus leaves on a bamboo basket. The steamed steamed buns still have the faint fragrance of lotus leaves and a bowl of lotus heart. Drink tea to clear the heart and fire, relieve heat and trouble, regenerate body fluid and quench thirst.

"Goo~" The more I think, the happier my stomach screams.

After walking for a long time, the porridge was digested. A Yao swallowed the flood of saliva fiercely, trying to ignore the steaming wheat cakes that had just come out of the cage.

A child wearing a longevity lock came to her, with big red cinnabar on the brows and dark eyes, as pure as a boy under the Guanyin seat.

A Yao smiled back at him, and the child grinned, then pointed at A Yao and shouted, "Aniang, Aniang! There is a little beggar here!"

"..." Mother, kid bear! A Yao's smile froze on her face.

The lady boss took a look at A Yao.

A Yao's center of gravity moved back, a little panicked, and she ran at any time when she saw something wrong.

The lady boss said, "It's not that I haven't seen it before, what do you care about so much, come back soon!"

"But you don't usually drive away..." the child muttered, and obediently returned to the boss's wife, turning around to make a face to A Yao.

A Yao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the tea stall.

A hut sheltered from wind and rain, a few tables and chairs, a stove built outside the house, and a couple with a baby make up a tea stand.

Since I won’t be able to get into the city for a while, I waited for the night to hide under the eaves for a night’s rest and watched the reaction of the proprietress.

Ayao squatted under the shade of the tree to listen to the conversation of tea customers, and got a message.

When walking along the road out of the city for a cup of tea, there is a bamboo path leading to Qingning Temple. The Guanyin enshrined in Qingning Temple is the most effective. Whether it is seeking a child or seeking marriage, it is everywhere.

And more importantly, Qingning'an is willing to adopt lonely, old and weak women and children!

Like a welfare home for later generations.

In the evening, Caixia was all over the sky, and Ayao mentally calculated the time. Her footwork was not bad. She took a trip to Qingning Temple to investigate the situation. It was just late when she came back. At that time, the tea stalls were closed and people walked to cool the tea so that she could rest on the spot.

Facing the departure direction of the people who helped the old and the young, they soon arrived at Qingning Temple.

A large vacant lot in front of Qingning Temple was admired by hawkers who were good at doing business. There were more and more people doing business, and a small market was formed, singing loud and low voices and attracting customers. , And strive to promote business to make a small profit.

The cardamom girl and the woman wandered in the market with laughter, and A Yao walked through the crowd without squinting. Passing through the mountain gate, she climbed a hundred steps ladder.

However, under the long evening bell, the sweeping bhikkhuni slowly closed the door-she was still late.

"You can only follow the people over tomorrow morning to have a look and return to the tea stand. They should leave."

Unexpectedly, when she went back, she saw the tea stalls brightly lit from a distance, and the whole person was not good!

She made a good calculation, but the family lives in a tea stall and also makes a night market!

When the ancient convenience store! The city gates are all closed, whose business are you doing!

The boss and the proprietress couldn't hear the madness and resentment in A Yao's heart. The family ate the gruel and pickles with oatmeal cakes. As soon as they were cleaned up, business came to the door.

Ayao squatted in the place where the bear children found her. She originally planned to hide under the table of the tea stand and she would die for one night. This is the second resting place she chose, with her back leaning against a big tree to keep cool, and there are mosquito-repellents around. Plants are not afraid of being harassed; people come and go outside the city during the day, and there are temples nearby, snakes, tigers, and wolves. The chances of appearing will not be too great, right?

"Mother! The little beggar is here again!"

What's the name of the special bear boy, can't it be quiet?

Ayao looked at her, and the child with the face of a Guanyin boy was standing under the lantern of the tea stand, like a demon with a pair of sharp horns on his head and a long fork in his hand, pointing at her and screaming loudly.

The sunset glow dissipated, replaced by the sky full of stars, the breeze brought the comfortable coolness of the mountains and forests, and the outskirts at night were deserted and quiet. The child's voice broke the silence abruptly, and the farmer who came for a tea break also looked over and laughed.

She was ashamed and shy away from behind the tree, knowing that this kind of child was so bad that she didn't know what to do!

Safety comes first, life comes first.

Ayao silently recites these eight-character proverbs, brainwashing the grievances and latent tears in her heart.

Can't see A Yao, the child curled his lips, and the farmers who were eating tea also turned their eyes away and continued to talk.

"After the vernal equinox, God is erratic. It is either a drought or a flood, and the harvest is sad. Although you can live on, but if someone in your family is sick, you will inevitably take the road to Jiangliu Village. I will let my mother-in-law. Bring a few children to worship, and bless no one in the family is sick this year." One of them sighed.

The person next to him said, "Let you go with us to do a long-term job for Pei's family, you don't listen. Da Young Master Pei is here, and he is merciful to waive this year's rent. His farm is excellent again, and the harvest is excellent. There is a surplus in the prescribed amount. This number... is more than what is produced in the few cents of farmland at home, otherwise I think I have to learn from the poor village of Jiangcun to sell children and sell girls as two-legged sheep."

"This year is a big luck, let me tell you. My mother-in-law works at Pei's house and said that she came to relax because the elder is going to marry the bride, and the eldest is unhappy. If it is true, I will go to Qingning'an Temple tomorrow. Go to the incense, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the elder to marry the bride every year!"

It was probably the first person who said, "You should be a village with poor mountains and bad waters? Their land is good! Our side is severely affected by drought and flooding, and they have not been affected at all! Two-legged sheep is..." He said. , The voice lowered.

A Yao approached them secretly, hiding in the dark place and raising her ears. The memory of the original owner told her that she used to grow up in Jiangcun.

"That's because there are people from Jiangliu County who are not small, and his son likes to eat children's meat the most!"
