We agreed to go shopping, so we might as well go out for breakfast.
Song Qiu called the two little girls Mian Mian and A Yin to go with them, and ordered Yang Dalian to catch the car. As for Tao Dongping and the others, if they want to go out for a walk, they can go by themselves, just one person, don't go too far, go together, find a companion, and just go shopping.
return.
They all have money with them. It is their own money. They can buy whatever they want. Even those on the bench have already received two months' wages.
As soon as I got downstairs and planned to go out, the drizzle stopped, the sky turned white, and there was a faint light.
There was no need to hold an umbrella. Song Qiu asked Yang Dalian to put the umbrella up. He didn't forget to tell him to come back early. Look at the bright weather, it won't rain again. If the sun comes out later, he can continue on his way in the afternoon.
A group of five little girls left the inn, got on the carriage, drove through the clean and bright bluestone street, and headed to the left.
I asked the innkeeper and found out that there is a Thousand Layers Lake in the east of the city. You can take a boat trip on the lake. There is also a busy street along the lake, where you can eat, play, and sell everything. It is very lively.
Lihua had never been on a boat before. She was chattering lively along the way. When she saw that Song Qiu only smiled and didn't look excited at all, she couldn't help but said: "Aqiu, you haven't been on a boat either, aren't you looking forward to it?"
Song Qiu thought to herself that she had been on a boat in her previous life. She took a boat trip to the Three Gorges and spent a lot of time on the boat.
But I have never sat here before.
She smiled, "Look forward to it! We can sit down later."
Aling, who had been on a boat before, looked at Lihua and said, "Are you seasick? If you are, it's better not to sit on the boat. I'm afraid you'll fall into the lake later, and I'll have to jump in and fish you out."
Lihua:……
"I don't know if I get seasick or not, but I can swim! Since we were little, Aqiu and I have played in the water a lot."
It had just rained in the Thousand Layers Lake. There were few people visiting the area, and the shops on the street were bustling with only a few people.
Song Qiu and his party found a breakfast shop and sat down to have breakfast. They had a cup of sweet soy milk, two pancakes, and a bowl of tofu curds. They felt full and satisfied.
When the rain stopped, the sky was a clear blue sky, which was extremely beautiful. At this time, the number of people in Thousand Layers Lake gradually increased.
Yang Dalian stayed on the shore to guard the carriage, while Song Qiu and others rented a small boat and started to swim on the lake.
The shore of the lake is covered with willow trees, and the willow branches hang down and ripple slightly on the lake surface.
There was a gentle breeze blowing by, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus drifting from nowhere was intoxicating.
The boatman was punting the boat at the bow, and several little girls were sitting in the boat canopy, eating the snacks they had just bought, such as candied chestnuts, crispy peanut preserves, etc., while admiring the scenery of the lakeshore.
The scenery in autumn has a unique flavor. Although the wind is blowing a little bit cold, everyone feels very happy.
Thousand Layers Lake is neither big nor small. After swimming slowly back and forth, it was already an hour later when we docked and returned to the place where we just boarded the boat.
The sky has completely cleared up, and the sun after the rain is shining on me, giving me a warm feeling.
Song Qiu had already decided to continue on the road after lunch. Now he asked everyone to go shopping again to see if there was anything they wanted to buy. After buying, they went back to the inn.
Mian Mian and A Yin also had wages in their hands. After shopping around, they finally couldn't help but couldn't bear to part with it. Each of them bought a beautiful headband, and they couldn't help but tie it on on the spot. They laughed like something.
.
She was also a little girl under fifteen years old. Song Qiu also laughed when she saw it, so he simply bought the wooden comb that they had touched and liked very much and gave it to them.
The two little girls were so flattered that they thanked the girl repeatedly for the reward.
Then this time I poked a hornet's nest in the gift box.
"Aqiu, this peach wood hairpin is so beautiful, I'll buy it for you!"
"Sister Aqiu, this wooden bracelet is very beautiful and cheap. I can just afford it. I will give this to you, as well as this wooden sign. It is so smooth and smooth! You see, there is also a small statue of the Bodhisattva carved on it.
Like, I bought this for grandma!"
"Girl, this is a fun thing to do. I'll buy it with Mian Mian together. If we buy five, let's buy one for each of us, right?"
In the end everyone bought something, but the old lady at the stall was so happy.
When we returned to the inn, it was almost noon. Tao Dongping and the others did not go out for a walk, but were waiting in the inn.
Song Qiu immediately asked Yang Dalian to pay the rent, and the group packed their luggage and left in the car.
It’s not like we have to leave the city right away. When noon comes, we have to have lunch before we go on our way.
I had already eaten the food at the inn yesterday. It’s rare for me to come to Qiu Ling County, so I naturally want to try more of Qiu Ling County’s tastes.
Therefore, I had already inquired about a good restaurant on the main street in the south of the city. The price was affordable and the taste was good. It was a time-honored restaurant that had been open for three generations and was very popular in Qiuling County.
Sure enough, they arrived early, and as soon as they took their seats, many people came in one after another, and soon the restaurant was overcrowded.
There were more than twenty tables on the two floors, and they were all filled up in such a short time, which shows how good the business of this restaurant is.
It is said to be a time-honored restaurant, so of course it has a signature dish, and this restaurant is named after its tofu.
The dishes are all made without tofu, and the tofu is made into flowers.
Fish paste stuffed tofu, Bazhen tofu soup, tofu ball soup, and original and flavorful tofu mixed with shallots.
The tofu is ground in-house and a pot of soy milk is given to each table.
The tofu is so tender and fresh.
There was no big fish or meat on the table, but the food was so satisfying and satisfying.
After they had eaten, Song Qiu and the others were drinking the sweet soy milk, when suddenly they heard a voice, "Fortune telling, guidance on the mystery, no money will be taken from those who are destined to do so."
This voice sounds familiar.
Song Qiulihua and Aling immediately followed the sound, and saw an old Taoist with white eyebrows walking up the stairs carrying a banner. One of his eyes was white, and his face was covered with old age spots.
"..."
"Divination and fortune-telling, guidance on the mystery, and those who are destined will not take any money." The old Taoist looked like a fairy, walking among the tables, not in a hurry, nor in a hurry.
Some diners waved loudly, "Old Taoist priest, are you accurate? Come on, come on, let's calculate how my brother will go to Beijing to take the exam. Will it be a smooth journey? Is Chunwei likely to be a high school scholar?"
"Nine out of ten fortune-telling Taoist priests are liars! This old Taoist priest really looks like he has some Taoism. Come on, please do the math for me and let me see if it's accurate!"
"I can do the math too!"
In a place with a lot of people, there is no need to worry about the bustle. In just a short time, there will be an extremely large number of people calling for fortune telling by Bai Mei Lao Taoist.
The old Taoist priest remained calm and went to the first table that opened his mouth.
Everyone was so happy that they listened to his calculations and saw how he calculated.
Song Qiu and the other three looked at each other. Aling chuckled, stood up, and shouted to the white-browed old Taoist who had just sat down not far away: "I won't take any money from those who are destined to be destined. Old Taoist, look up and see that I am the destined one?"
The old Taoist looked up after hearing the sound, and when he saw the little girl waving her hand at him clearly, his pupils shrank instantly.
"Nuo, Sister Aqiu, take a closer look. The skin at the base of his ears is not even close! This method of disguise is a little too delicate. I could see it at a glance just now!"
The old man subconsciously wanted to touch his face to see if it fit well this time.
My heart was pounding. I never expected that here, I would meet the girl who noticed his disguise more than two months ago.
Walk?
Or is it tight?
It's difficult for the veteran to decide for a while.
