Go south from Shouling County, cross two mountains, and a small county town called Ancheng is located more than 30 miles away.
There is an ancient wharf in Ancheng, which has a history of a hundred years and is still prosperous. The large and small boats moored at the ferry are no less than dozens of days, and it is very lively.
The dock is particularly lively today. Because an official ship is parked and escorted by the imperial navy, many merchant ships are also parked here. If you can borrow the spring breeze of a borrowed official ship on the road, it will be a great thing for these merchant ships. I don’t know how much you can save just the ‘toll’.
In the Sales Yard opposite the pier, more than a dozen children aged four or five to eleven or eleven are surrounding a big pot.
The pot was bubbling with bubbles, and the fragrance came out of the yard, attracting countless pedestrians outside to look at each other.
A group of children stared at their eyes and muttered, drooling wildly, ready to move towards the pot.
These children are orphans without parents and relatives, and rarely have such lively times since childhood.
Gu Xiang Xiaoying took a spoon and took out a large piece of braised pork ribs from the pot. The color was full and the soup was sticky. The kitchen knife flashed and chopped it down neatly. As the blade cut off the tendons, the skin gently flicked and trembled under the misty steam.
Gudu!
Gu Xiang smiled, took a knife to pick up the chopped meat, and poured the meat on the half-dried rice. The heat flew up and the fragrance spread.
Children's saliva is even more flooded.
Gu Xiang smiled and handed over the bowl and spoon. The little baby whined and swallowed a whole spoon of rice and meat. The meat was bitten between his lips and teeth, and turned into juice and poured into his throat...
"It smells so good."
The pedestrians outside stopped and looked around. The children bit the flesh with big mouthfuls, the juice was stained with their lips, and the cheeks were covered with satisfaction and rosy rosy appearance, which made people so hungry that they could see it.
Gu Xiang waved his hand and asked several dolls to take the prepared small bamboo tube. He put a piece of reed leaves in one bamboo tube, scooped out large pieces of meat steak and gravy, put it in the bamboo basket, and then placed the sesame cake as big as a palm next to it.
"Go. Come back and add some extra meals to you."
...
The wind blew gently, the fallen leaves flew, accompanied by the occasional trumpet sounds by the river, Lei's expression was a little sad.
Liu Xing followed his sister-in-law tightly and kept muttering: "Sister-in-law, you really can't drink those messy bitter medicine soup anymore. My brother has been getting angry for several days, but my brother can't stand it."
Every time his brother gets angry, he avoids his sister-in-law, but always treats him as a punching bag.
Alas, it’s hard to be a younger brother!
Lei raised his hand and touched her face. She was already forty-one years old. I heard that a five-year-old woman would have to give birth to a bead of an old clam and give birth to a Lin'er... Then is she hopeful?
"Madam, I wish you good luck."
Lei was stunned, lowered his head and saw that he had already been in the position. When he looked at the little girl who was only tall at her waist, his heart suddenly felt soft and he reached out to take the bamboo tube and sesame cake.
The maid next to him quickly handed over the money.
Liu Jing also bought a barrel with kindness.
As soon as I got the thing, someone urged me later: "Look soon, it's me, it's me."
Lei couldn't help but walk a few steps to the side, and then turned around and realized that in the blink of an eye, the long line in front of the Sales Hospital actually spread to the end of the street.
She blinked, and saw the little girl looking at her earnestly, and said in a low voice, "You taste it while it's hot, it's very good."
The child is so cute.
Unable to bear to refuse the girl's kindness, Lei reached out to open the bamboo tube, and instantly, the fragrance came to his face. Lei blinked and lowered his head slightly, and saw a large piece of pork inside with a very attractive color.
Since she passed thirty-five years old, she has cherished her blessings and kept her health, and has a lot of vegetarian food. She has not touched meat for a long time. She has a bad appetite these days. She comes to buy food just for the Sales Yard. But at this moment, looking at the slightly trembling meat in the hot soup, she suddenly feels appetite.
Lei picked up the simple bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and bit it gently. His body immediately stopped. The meat piece melted in his mouth, and the juice rolled on the tip of his tongue. The strong fragrance seemed to touch the already stiff taste buds in an instant.
She suddenly remembered what happened a long time ago.
At that time, she had been doing embroidery work for two months and earned money to buy Ziming ink. When she passed by the butcher shop, she couldn't help but buy a small piece of pork and went home. She did it carefully and gave it to Ziming.
Ziming was reluctant to eat it, so he fed it to her bite by bit, and he was only willing to drink some soup.
The meat at that time seemed so sweet.
When did she feel anxious and often can't sleep all night?
When did she have nothing to say to her, and the two of them can only look at each other without saying a word?
Lei's eyes were faintly red, he sighed, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and ate the meat in big mouthfuls.
When she came to her senses, she looked up and saw that her brother-in-law was still holding a bamboo tube in her hand, trying hard to stuff her flesh into her mouth. The person had already rushed to the back and lined up, and couldn't help laughing: "This kid!"
A bamboo tube, three or four pieces of meat the size of a thumb belly, and a sesame cake for eight cereals.
The price is naturally not very low. It can be used for enough ingredients and the sesame cakes are crispy and fragrant. If you eat a few bites, no one will think it is worth it.
The money made by this transaction is used as the expenses of the Sales Hospital. Although Ancheng is small, it is not poor on the dock. Every wealthy family goes to the Buddhist temple every year and donates silver in Taoist temples. Buying meat to eat at this time is also a good deed. Diners feel satisfied, not to mention that the meat tastes so good that everyone feels less expensive.
In the blink of an eye, the bamboo tube was sold clean. Diners who could not buy it became more and more greedy when they smelled the fragrance and were very unwilling to accept it.
As for what I bought, when facing the salivating eyes of others, I suddenly felt that I had not bought food, but had taken a huge advantage, and I felt very comfortable.
Gu Xiangman looked up inadvertently, and happened to meet Lei's gentle and loving eyes. He looked along her gaze and saw Liu Jing.
Whenever Lei arrives at a place, he will go to worship when he meets famous Taoist temples and temples. If he meets Saint-Year Garden, he will definitely come to his door.
Gu Xiang and others were not slow to go. A few days ago, they saw that the official ship had not arrived, so they simply settled in the Sales Hospital. The Sales Hospital was fundraising by a large household in Ancheng before. In the past two years, natural disasters have occurred and business is difficult to do, so the Sales Hospital has a shortage of funds.
These children often go to sell fruit deer and cook cakes to make a certain amount of money. Seeing that they are all very sensible, Gu Xiang couldn't help but start his old career and started a diet business that has not been truly formed.
The business was so good that she had to forget the main business.
Fortunately, I met Lei and Liu Xing.
Starting from these two people, we must find an opportunity to meet Liu Huang as soon as possible.
Lao Dog and the others should act according to the plan.
Chapter completed!
