The fairy city of the market man

Chapter 2 2. The old lady
The old lady stepped forward and grabbed Shang San'er by the ear: "I heard that the ancestor of the old businessman appeared, and today he asked you to catch a shrimp and sell it?"

"Hiss! I'm selling it... Niang Qingbai!"

The words leaked, and the old lady realized something was wrong: "What's wrong with your mouth? Teeth fell out?"

Shang San'er pointed to the broken rubble on the ground: "It fell and collapsed!"

The old lady let go of her pinched ears, turned to the house of Luowatian and confessed: "Old Zhang's family has been a neighbor for decades, and your father helped a lot when he passed away, so don't blackmail his house!"

"It's out of shape! If you can't find your daughter-in-law, I'm afraid I'll blackmail Zhang's family!"

This sentence is clearer, but my old lady is completely unmoved: "What are you worried about? The deaf are looking for the blind, and the lame are looking for the stupid. If you save enough money, there will be someone who can match you!"

"You are my mother!"

"My mother gave birth to three sons, and lost a pair of them. The one who survived was not a weapon, and the man died early. If he was not mad at death, he should have burned incense to the city god! It was his destiny to be a slave to your old businessman, so he fell. Today, is there any other hope? In my twenties, I don’t farm land or find work. I just hang out on the street all day. I’m a good wife, and I’m afraid I’ll hurt her! Don’t choose, give birth to a grandson, and dare to see your father after closing your eyes!”

Speaking harsh words, the old lady glared again: "Don't try to interrupt, where's the money?"

Shang San'er reached into his bosom, squeezed two pieces of silver, took out the bigger one, and smiled so much that he showed his two missing teeth: "I'm here, just waiting to honor my mother!"

Not wanting him to take it to his heart's content, the old lady felt suspicious, weighed what was in her hand, and asked, "How much money is it? Where did you hide it?"

Shang San'er called out to Qu: "The conscience of heaven and earth..."

Just say four words, and the rolling pin will arrive head-on!
"Boom!"

"How can you have a conscience? Where did you hide? Let's see if I will spare you!"

"Wang Wang!"

In response to his mother's words, Lao Huang also barked.

The old dog at home is already old, not far from death, and can't run fast, but his sense of smell is still strong. If the old lady is suspicious and can't find out his whereabouts, he must be asked to find it by smell, unless he is already If it is transferred to someone else, it will not be concealed. It has been found in mouse holes and magpie nests before.

The old lady struck hard, hugging her head to dodge a few times, knowing that she would be searched after the beating, and she couldn't hide it, so Shang San'er reluctantly took out the remaining broken silver.

The old lady snatched it away, and then stared at him suspiciously: "That's it? But there is still something hidden?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth! I sold it to an immortal, and I only paid this extra money. There is really no more!"

The same sentence of conscience, for some reason, after staring at him a few times, my mother believed it this time, put down the rolling pin, collected the money, and finally said what a mother should say: "Go home and rinse with salt water, and the pain will be relieved." some!"

The numbness on the lips, in fact, I don't feel much, but it hurts more everywhere being hammered by the old lady, but I dare not complain.

Following his mother home, Lao Huang walked slowly, falling behind the two of them.

Under the kitchen stove, there was firewood smoking black smoke, and steaming water in the pot. I don’t know who has such a fast-moving legs and feet. When I came back and told the news to my old lady, she stopped cooking and hurriedly removed the firewood. Wo came to find.

Shang San'er looked for salt to rinse his mouth, Lao Huang lay down in front of the kennel, and the old lady went back to the kitchen to cook.

"Mom! Today I caught prawns and they are selling well. How about some more meat?"

After smelling the food, the son begged aloud after rinsing his mouth, and the old woman who had just been smoked replied angrily: "How did you know you could catch shrimp this morning? I didn't buy meat back, and I will serve meat tomorrow. You boil two eggs!"

"Open a piece of bacon..."

"If you say you're only prodigal and don't admit it, you know it's ruined! Do you eat bacon? Don't you know that meat is expensive in the winter?"

The bacon at home is only opened when there is no meat for dinner, festivals, and god-worshiping days.The price of salt is not cheap, and the price of meat is the most expensive when the weather is cool in the winter months, and the price of meat is also the most expensive. I live carefully and carefully, so of course I won’t get used to him. Occasionally, I have a tooth festival, but it’s just fresh meat. They will only buy pork that is fat, fat, and low in price.

Of course, there is not enough oil and water on weekdays. Fatty meat and pork offal are favorites of Shangsan'er.

Lao Huang has been at home for more than ten years, and he grew up with him since he was a child. Now he is dying. Cao Si said several times that he wants to turn it into a pot of meat. Although he is greedy for meat, Shang San'er is not willing to agree.

In addition to being reluctant, there is also his old mother who treats Huang better than his own son, and Shang San'er dare not die.

Picking up grass and teasing for a while, Lao Huang didn't respond.

After the old lady cooked the rice and greeted her, Shang San'er went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes, steamed millet, pickled cucumbers, fried bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse soup, and two eggs, which was the food for the two of them.

Lao Huang couldn't eat anymore, so my mother cooked gruel for him.

Missing two front teeth, eating felt a bit strange, but without delaying his speed, he pulled the food out of the bowl with a few chopsticks and began to peel the eggs.

Shang San'er always eats in a hurry, but he is afraid of being choked by the egg yolk, so he doesn't dare to go too fast, so he swallows the soup slowly.

After a while, he put the things in his hand into the old lady's bowl, and he stretched his waist and got up: "I'm full! Mom, I'm going to the street to digest food!"

Strolling out, the old lady couldn't see her after passing the corner, so she quickened her pace and trotted away.

Looking at the eggs already peeled in her bowl, his mother sighed: "There is some filial piety, but why is it so out of tune all day long? I am so worried!"

Compared with the missing front teeth, he made a fortune today, but his wife ransacked them all, and Shang San'er was even worse.

The Cao family was a big family, all of whom lived on the north side of Xizheng Street. He didn't want to go so far to find Cao Si, so he first went to Meng Kui's porridge shop where he had made an appointment.

Shang San and Cao Si are two mangy dogs who have no good intentions for his wife. Chief Meng naturally doesn't have any good senses. He would not say a word if he came to the door to drink porridge on credit, and he could not pay the bill for ten and a half months.

On the other hand, his wife, Shang San'er and the others couldn't find a living, she sat down with a bowl of porridge from morning to night and refused to leave, so she dared to pour water on her cold face!
I usually serve boiling water in the kitchen, and cold water in winter and lunar months.

Mrs. Meng made it clear that if two mangy dogs dared to blow their hair, she would ask Mrs. Shang San'er to judge, and then go to the gate of Mr. Cao's mansion to make a scene and cry, to see who can be the best!
Little things can't disturb the government. Shang San Cao Si is also an old fritter who often goes to the court, but she was pinned down by Lady Meng. The two mangy dogs really didn't dare to provoke her again, and they didn't respond to teasing. Eat tofu with your eyes.

I heard that when Chief Meng was born, his father was fighting with others, so he took this name out of joy. In the eyes of Shang Sancao Si, this guy is honest and responsible, and he is not outstanding in appearance. Apart from being able to cook porridge, he has no shit skills. But the daughter-in-law that he saved up to marry really made two pretentious mangy dogs look at him with red eyes!
She is such a wonderful woman!
In Luliu City, the first-class good girls are in the City Lord's Mansion and the Keqing Mansion, and the second-class good girls are in the Huwei Mansion and the Grand Master Cao's Mansion. The Meng family's wife may only be ranked third, but she is beautiful and tall. It is also enough for two mangy dogs to eat for a lifetime.

Most of the women of the third class are married by the tiger guards, which is very rare among the common people!

Liuxuyuan's top names in the past may have been born better, but it lacks the taste of shares compared to Liangjia. Recently, it costs money to see Yaojie.

There are a lot of people in the city recently, and I heard that the top cards have all been called to wait on them.

Most of those kiln sisters are not from the same city. According to this, women in this city want to be kiln sisters and go to other cities.

Just after dinner, Shang San'er went to the porridge shop and didn't order porridge. He found an empty seat and sat down, staring at the busy lady Meng, which was the best way to pass the time.

The tea house at the intersection, whether you drink tea or not, you have to pay a penny for sitting down, it is not as good as here.

The tea house is Mr. Cao's business, and the two rogues dare not act as masters there.

The Meng family who had already been immunized turned a blind eye to him, and the regular customers who drank porridge in the shop nodded their heads anyway, and the neighbors in the street had such a friendship that they often nodded, so the hooligans would not take the initiative to make trouble.

Until Cao Sixun touched him and patted him on the shoulder: "If you get rich and don't drink a bowl of meat porridge, wouldn't you be willing to give up four pennies?"

Not wanting to lose face in front of Mrs. Meng, Shang San'er dragged him away from the porridge shop, and then confessed in frustration: "Don't think about it, my old lady will scrape it off!"

"Why are there two missing front teeth? Did your mother beat them?"

Regardless of laughing at him for losing his appearance, the money is what matters, Cao Si refused to believe Shang San'er's words, asked a question casually, and then changed his way: "You cunning, how can I shave it clean? You are just kidding brother!"

I swear to the sky that Cao Siquan doesn't believe it, and he just wants to beat the autumn wind, so he gets impatient, and he starts cursing "bad bastards, bastards", forced to help him, Shang San'er put his arms around him: "If you don't believe me, let me ask my mother, but All the two taels of silver have been searched!"

"You sold it for two taels of silver?"

Hearing the price of shrimp, Cao Si was even more jealous and hated. After turning into the alley, he really walked in the direction of Shang San'er's house, and he gradually believed it.

Shang San'er was most afraid of his mother's rolling pin, he had been frightened to the bone since he was a child, and he dared not be dishonest in front of his mother.

But before the confrontation, Cao Si's suspicion could not be completely eliminated, and Shang Saner's mind was no less than Cao Si's.

Walking in the alley, I suddenly heard noise in the main street and houses beside the alley.

Someone exclaimed, "It's a fight!"
Shang San Cao Si turned their heads and looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief and faint excitement!
The people in the city are waiting to see the good show, guessing when the fight will start, and there are still a lot of bettors, so the immortals... let's do it?

Immortal battle!

For those troupes who occasionally come to Green Willow City, which performance can compare to this wonderful one?
Someone from the nearby household is calling for the stairs to be moved to the roof to watch a big show!

There are households on both sides of the alley, blocking the view. Shang Sancao Si was impatient and couldn't look far away, so they rushed into the courtyard together and called for help: "Move the ladder quickly! It will look good when you go up to the house!"

Waiting on the ladder frame of the parents, the two hooligans climbed up to the roof with faster hands and feet than the master, stepped on the tile edge and climbed to the beam of the house, squatting to watch the big show.

They are not the only ones, the roofs of houses and trees in the surrounding area are filled with worshipers. There are more than 3 households and more than [-] people in the city. There should not be too few people watching the show!
In the city lord's mansion in the north of the city, there were indeed sword auras, sledgehammers, embroidery needles, some flying high, and some roaring!
