Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 14 014. Clothes Festival

After climbing down the mountain, as soon as he stepped into QM County, he realized that something was different today.

Logically speaking, winter is the time to sleep late, and every family gets up later.But as soon as he went down the mountain, he saw many people on the street.

Those with family and mouth, go to the east and west markets.

Li Zhen was a little puzzled, and happened to see shopkeeper Sun from the coffin shop where he bought the coffin before.

He walked over to say hello:
"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, shopkeeper Sun, poor and polite."

Shopkeeper Sun is over 50 years old this year. According to this year, he is considered a very old man. He has a long beard. When he heard someone greet him, he turned his head and saw that it was Li Zhen with cloudy eyes. He nodded calmly:

"Master."

The old man's voice was deep and hoarse, as if he wasn't surprised by anything.

In fact, this is the professional quality of the coffin shop.

This kind of business is a deadly business, and people who are out of temper can't do it.

When people come to buy a coffin, don't say much, don't ask too much, which one do you like, and just shut up after quoting a price is the best choice.

Because these days, people don't buy coffins until they die. Some old people will prepare a satisfactory birthday material for themselves when they get old.And if you ask a question to your mouth: who died in your family?If they can't get it all together, they start fighting.Or speak louder, and say with a smile when someone comes in: Guest officer, you are here...

For sure you won't live to-morrow.

So due to the habit of so many years, this shopkeeper Sun has always cherished words like gold.

Li Zhen also understood, so he went straight to the point:
"Today, there are so many lay monks who are not at home warming up by the fire. Why are they all out? But what activities are there?"

"Have."

Shopkeeper Sun still cherishes words like gold:
"Clothes Day."

"Oh~~"

Li Zhen suddenly realized.

Qiemo is located in a bitterly cold place in the northern part of the Great Wall, which cannot compare with the climate in the pass.

So it's colder here earlier, it's only September, and the wind is already blowing.

The Clothing Festival is a custom passed down from within the pass. The farmland has been harvested in this season, and everyone has rested and began to prepare for the winter.When surviving winter, fur coats and jackets should be prepared before the winter solstice.Therefore, the Great Sui Dynasty set up the "Clothes Giving Festival" on September 9. All officials, big and small, had a holiday, and stalls gathered in the market for everyone to prepare the things they needed for the winter.

Knowing the reason, Li Zhen immediately thought of... people today must come to drink and have fun.

There are probably a lot of people in the restaurant!
So he bowed to Shopkeeper Sun:
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Sun, and I will take my leave."

"Ah."

The old man was concise.

……

This way, we walked into the West Market. Sure enough, compared to the empty appearance of the previous two days, the West Market today is particularly lively.

Among the crowds, even beggars came out.

did you see it?Even the beggars know how to get up early and work late.

Everyone just think how lively it is today.

Seeing this, Li Zhen quickly walked a few steps and arrived at Tongfuju.

I didn't see that Mrs. Zheng on the way. Li Zhen guessed that she must have squatted by the river to wash clothes.

It's a pity that the weather is so cold.

He seems to have completely forgotten that he was also an unlucky guy who didn't have enough to eat or wear a day ago...

Tongfuju has just opened, they don't do breakfast business, but there are so many people today, it is estimated that there must be a lot of alcoholics coming here to drink, and they all get busy early.

Li Zhen came when the waiter in the shop was tearing down the door panel.

Seeing him coming, the waiter shouted in a much more enthusiastic voice than yesterday:
"Li Daochang."

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, Zhang Layman, you are polite."

Li Zhen only knew that the waiter in this store was surnamed Zhang, but he was not sure what his name was.

After a polite greeting, he asked:
"Is shopkeeper Qu up?"

"It's not in the future. But today is the Clothes Giving Festival, even if the shopkeeper comes, he will take his wife and young master for a stroll before coming. Is the Taoist priest busy?"

"That's not it."

Li Zhen waved his hand:
"Just asking, I'll help you..."

"No need, the Taoist priest can do it himself, I will do it."

After evading it for a while, Li Zhen took a look inside the room and was delighted.

Yesterday, his position was guarding the back kitchen door, and it was not warm at all.

But today it was replaced by the front of the counter.

The location of the counter allows you to see the state of the diners in the whole room, and the view and location are the best.At the same time, the pots of charcoal fire placed among the diners are just right.

If he was talking here for a while, not only would all the diners be able to look at him, but he would also not be frozen.

Evidently, shopkeeper Qu had lost his mind.

People who do business pay attention to a well-rounded person.This is true whether it is a country that is as rich as an enemy or a country that is small and rich.

Although Li Zhen found it interesting, he was not surprised. After seeing that the waiter really didn't need his own help, he simply walked out of Tongfuju and stood by the side of the road, watching the crowds who had been haunted by the Clothes Festival recently like an idler. All kinds of things in the world at the market.

In this era, there is no Internet, no computers, and no so-called Internet celebrities.

It sounds pitiful that there are few entertainment activities, but if you look carefully at the joy of the group of people on the street, if you look at it from the perspective of a modern person, it is a world of all kinds.

Someone was bargaining with the hawker for a rattle drum, and there was a girl with yellow flowers who stopped at the rouge and gouache booth.There are also wealthy households who bring their servants to buy things for their homes, and there are also poor people who, like themselves, wear patched clothes and hesitate in front of the grain store and salt store.

Li Zhen looked at each face, and looked at each face.

Nothing special, just thought it was fun.

If he hadn't been interrupted by a group of beggars, he probably would have had to watch for a while.

"The Taoist priest will cultivate to a positive result as soon as possible!"

"Ranked in the fairy class!"

"Fathering and Ascension!"

"Hong... Hong Fu Qitian~"

"..."

Looking at the few yellow and thin children who surrounded him, Li Zhen's forehead was full of black lines.

These kids are so good at talking.

Hope to die soon, right?
"Go, go, Pindao doesn't want to become an immortal yet, do you want to go? Pindao will send you off?"

Angrily pinching a brat, preventing him from reaching into his robe, Li Zhen looked at Huatou next to him.

Huatou is the leader of this group of little beggars.

The so-called beggar gang culture has been circulating in the land of China for many years. They have their own system of halls and the like, and this group of children can speak four-character idioms. If no one teaches them, he will not believe it. .

What's more...he is familiar with this trick.

When the master died, I was wandering around the city like a headless chicken, and it was this beggar who told me what to do first...

"Wu Laizi, these bastards have lost their minds! The Taoist robe on Pindao's body is more torn than Dongfeng. What do you think? Come to cut the path of Pindao?"

While talking, he took out the two steamed buns that he steamed in the morning from his arms, and threw them directly to him.

Although the other party was just a beggar, but in the end, the master was put into the soil steadily.

The grace of the day must be repaid.
