Chapter 135 Visiting the Dinner Market (2)
…
Dinner was eaten at the inn. Because Mu Zhongqing was weak and could not eat anything too greasy, Du asked someone to make dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, adding more cabbage and less pork, and ordered a dish of boiled water. Peanuts, a plate of cold spinach and a plate of bacon and fried bamboo shoots.
Since time traveling, Caiwei's appetite has become stronger, and she enjoys all kinds of meat. How can such a light diet be her cup of tea? After eating a few hasty bites, she made plans to go to the night market.
Seeing Caiwei's excitement, Du and Mu Zhongqing couldn't bear to refuse. After dark, they asked Uncle Zhang to drive the carriage and the family went out for a stroll.
The New Year is approaching and it is the peak period for buying New Year's goods. In order to attract business, every shop on the street is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Even the stalls placed on the roadside are hung with two red lanterns to commemorate the occasion. One shop after another, the whole night market is illuminated by thousands of lanterns, like daylight, and it is extremely lively!
Some people who had no time to go shopping during the day all came out and wandered slowly in the lively market. There were many stalls selling things in the market, most of them selling fireworks and firecrackers, couplets with the word "Fu", and some selling needles, threads and brains. , cloth and cotton, as well as pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. It is bustling from the street to the end of the alley.
The Caiwei siblings crowded in front of the car window and looked out at the night view. They were all very happy. Under the company and care of her parents, Caiwei felt like a real thirteen-year-old girl. She became cheerful and lively. She looked at everything she saw with interest. When she saw a pancake and roast duck stall, she shouted Going to eat.
Du Shi was afraid that the food outside was unclean, so she tried to persuade her a little, but Mu Zhongqing stopped the carriage and said to Caiwei, "Come on, Wei'er, dad will take you to eat."
When the children heard this, they all clamored to leave. Mrs. Du glared at her husband with feigned anger and said angrily, "It's all you. You teach the children to make trouble as soon as you come back and spoil them rotten. Let's see what you do." ?"
Mu Zhongqing was not annoyed when his wife blamed him. He said with a smile: "Our child is kind in nature. No matter how much we spoil him, he will not be spoiled."
Du Shi had no choice but to get out of the car, and the family went straight to the roast duck stall.
"He's roast duck, He's roast duck, fellow villagers, come and try it. This is the private dish of our He family in Qingxian County. Even the minister of the dynasty was full of praise for it! It's a special roast duck without leaving home. It's such a good thing to be able to eat delicious food hundreds of miles away, but there is no such store after passing this village! Come and buy it——"
The vendor stood in front of the stall, shouting vigorously. At the stall next to it, there were several people in robes sitting in twos and threes, enjoying slow drinks and tasting roast duck.
Caiwei walked over and saw that the roast duck was roasted oily and golden, with golden skin, crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside. The duck meat was sliced off piece by piece and neatly placed on the plate, along with a plate of finely chopped green onions. Here, a plate of sweet noodle sauce and a plate of thin lotus leaf pancakes are placed next to the roast duck. They look delicious at first glance.
"Girl, do you want to eat roast duck? Five hundred coins each, lotus leaf cake, sweet noodles, sauce and shredded green onions for free."
When the hawker saw Caiwei dressed neatly, with a pink muslin jacket without a single patch, he knew at first sight that she was the daughter of a well-off family and could definitely afford the price of 500 yuan, so he tried his best to offer her a favor. I want to do this business.
"Five hundred coins?"
Some people passing by exclaimed: "It's so expensive, I almost rushed to grab it."
Caiwei also felt that it was a bit expensive. No wonder the customers at this stall were only wearing robes and no one was wearing shorts. It turned out that not everyone could afford this thing.
