The weather in May is getting hotter. Shaanxi is an area with plenty of sunshine and little rain, so the temperature is naturally not low. Liu Lang is already fat and sweating profusely along the way. In addition, there are already a lot of independent regiment soldiers on the road, in twos and threes.
A group of people were wandering around the small town. When they saw Liu Lang and the others, they all ran over and stood at attention to salute.
Liu Lang wasn't too bothered. He was just shopping anyway, so he simply took off his coat and wore only a white shirt. Chi Dakui and Chen Yunfa followed suit and took off their military uniforms and held them in their hands. Only Mo Xiaomao and
Ji Yanxue and the other two seemed not to be afraid of the heat, and followed behind them dressed neatly.
Liu Lang saw that Ji Yanxue was very interested in the small commodities that were not abundant but had Shaanxi characteristics in the shops in the small town. He smiled and bought a few items with her, then gave Mo Mao Mao a few pieces of cash to accompany Ji Yanxue.
Continuing shopping, he followed Shi Datou to his small shop, and by the way, he saw if there was anything he wanted here.
What Liu Lang wants is naturally not a commodity.
Shi Datou's steamed bun shop is said to be a storefront, but in fact it is just an operation room of three or four square meters. A cloth shed was set up at the window, and a small square table was placed under the shed. According to the standards of later generations, it was actually just a shop.
A side stall is a roadside stall that is not in a good location. Otherwise, Shi Datou would not carry steamed buns to the city gate to sell them.
After welcoming Liu Lang and the others to sit down at the small square table, Shi Datou carefully placed his brother's urn next to him, scooped some water from the water tank, washed his hands, and put the many dark buckwheat in the steamer.
The only white-flour bun among the buns was placed on a plate and served.
Shi Datou explained to Liu Lang calmly: "Sir, there is not much white flour coming in these days, and there is only one white flour bun left."
Shi Datou was naturally very sad. Although he didn't know how high-ranking the fat man in front of him was, it was really unethical for him to only treat him to a white-flour steamed bun as a favor for sending his brother's ashes back all the way.
However, business has been so bad recently that he almost ran out of money to buy soba noodles. The money from there went into white flour. The only steamed white flour buns were scraped from the bottom of the vat, steamed to show off, and sold.
If the steamed buns are made without white flour, customers will look down upon them.
"You'd better bring me some buckwheat buns, I want to eat that." Liu Lang said with a smile.
"Sir..." Shi Datou's eyes were red.
Naturally, Liu Lang's words were taken by Shi Datou as a way to save his face. However, he didn't know that in this era of insufficient material abundance, white flour steamed buns were a delicacy that was difficult to eat, but Shi Datou could think of it for several years.
After that, modern people with abundant material began to be keen on eating the miscellaneous grains that were the staple food of this era? Not to mention buckwheat buns, corn flour steamed buns have also become a must-have for the health of gentlemen and ladies in the city. Liu Lang also
I really want to eat the original buckwheat steamed buns of this era. In the past, the abuse of pesticides and fertilizers has almost turned food into poison.
Before Shi Datou could give some buckwheat steamed buns to a fat officer who was considerate of the people, he could only see a few soldiers carrying guns walking in the distance. Before they arrived, the sound came first.
"Okay, Shi Datou, your baby is not honest! You don't have any money to pay taxes, but you have money to make white flour steamed buns. I think your baby doesn't want to live anymore!"
The leader was carrying one of the most ferocious close-range firepower weapons of this era - a box gun - across his body. He was wearing a dark blue military uniform with an open collar. The only bad image of the traitors and puppet soldiers in later generations of movies and TV shows.
It’s just that I don’t have the words “I’m not a good bird” written on my face anymore.
I have to say that although the directors of later generations were not very reliable, they still had a unified standard in terms of the image of a bad guy. Anyway, the guy in front of Liu Lang, who was not a good guy, was dressed like this.
The kind that makes you want to hit him as soon as you look at him.
"Well, the craftsmanship is good and it's delicious." The bad bird carrying the box cannon swaggered over, picked up the white flour steamed bun on the plate in front of Liu Lang, took a bite, and commented with satisfaction.
In the words of later generations, that is a five-star review.
"Sir Gou, that's what I prepared for you. If you want to eat it, I'll get it for you tomorrow." Shi Datou couldn't help but become anxious, and stepped forward to grab Bad Bird's arm.
"What, you coward, you want to make a big difference, why are you so cowardly as you, sir? Are you just a bunch of remnants from the front line? I see you really don't want to live." Bad Bird glanced at you and sat at the table.
The three people who remained motionless said disdainfully.
As a direct male member of the Gou family, the largest family in Tongguan, Gou Defu is also one of the few figures in Tongguan City. Originally, when thousands of troops came to the city, the top officer of the Tongguan City garrison, who I usually looked down upon,
The superior distant cousin felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and went to the superior for instructions on how to deal with it. Gou Defu, who had no one to care about, had time to go to the teahouse and smoke a big cigarette to relax.
Along the way, Gou Defu couldn't help but despise his cousin Gou Chengshou for making a fuss about it. He was from a small family and was of such a low standard. Although it looked like there were many people in this army, at first glance, he was either missing an arm or something.
He's young and timid, and when he goes to a shop, he sits down and pays in a formal manner. He's obviously a coward. If he wants to be rich, he needs money to go to that shop to spend money? It's just to go to a kiln. Isn't that kiln sister another?
Who laughs and sleeps with you? This is a real man.
Chen Yunfa began to breathe heavily from his nose. If Liu Lang hadn't been able to sit still and not move, he could have pinched the yolk out of the scum of the army in front of him.
But Liu Lang was surprisingly unmoved, and instead smiled at the arrogant "dog chief". It's not that Liu Lang has surname discrimination, but I have to say that this "Gou" surname is indeed suitable for the bad bird in front of him.
Just like Diao Deyi in Shajiabang, it is almost tailor-made for them.
"Bah." Gou Defu shook his shoulders and shook off Shi Datou's hand, spitting a thick mouthful of phlegm with disdain at the feet of Chen Yunfa, who was glaring at him.
Not to mention that he was still carrying a box cannon, but he didn't bring anything with him. He and the four brothers around him were able to wipe out this bunch of useless defeated soldiers, and they could stare at them like this big guy.
An eyeball.
"Brother Gou, look what I found. There is a treasure hidden in the stone head of Donkey Ri." A soldier rushed into the house with a gun on his back and happily offered the treasure to Gou Defu while holding a white cloth bag.
"Ha, I'm lucky today. I can still find a piece of fat from the poor guy." Gou Defu's face suddenly turned into a ball of chrysanthemums with laughter.
"I'm going to fuck you, please put it down." When Shi Datou looked at the white cloth bag, his eyes suddenly widened, and he roared angrily at the soldier holding the white cloth bag.
"You damn Shitou, how dare you yell at me, I'll kill you when Habu kills you, but I won't let you go. What can you do?" The soldier got angry and opened the white cloth bag with a curse.
The wooden urn in the white cloth bag appeared in front of everyone.
