Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 818, Temple Fair

Naturally, you need to go to your relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year, but suddenly you heard the news that the temple fair, which had been suspended for a long time, was resumed this year, so Jiang Yan got up early the next morning, Zhu Shitou and the others took his wife and children and rode out to go straight to the temple fair.

To be honest, I have visited temple fairs several times before and after the liberation. Later, due to material shortages in the 60s, the temple fairs were canceled, so these children had basically never seen temple fairs. When they heard about going to temple fairs, they Naturally, it was very fresh. When they were children, they had often heard the old lady describe the scene of this temple fair, so they also wanted to see it with their own eyes.

According to past experience, the most famous temple fairs in Sijiucheng are Longfu Temple, Huguo Temple, Baita Temple and Tutu Temple.

However, going to these four major temple fairs at this time is no different from going to Wangfujing Department Store. There will definitely be too many people to walk. So when they went out, Jiang Yan and the others discussed and discussed, and finally decided to go to the factory. Dian Temple Fair.

Friends who have never been to Sijiucheng may not know where Changdian is, but if you want to talk about Liulichang, you probably know it. It’s only about two miles away from Zhengyangmen, and you can ride a bike from Nanluogu Lane. Half an hour, Jiang Yan and the others probably only took ten minutes to ride the motorcycle.

Even though Liulichang is basically a deserted place in normal times, it is particularly lively during the first lunar month. From the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the long east-west Liulichang Street is crowded with tourists. Various New Year stalls are lined up, one by one, and everyone can see them at a glance. Not to the end.

As long as you have money, you can basically buy anything here, including calligraphy and painting curios, albums and fans, Beijing-style snacks, dried and fresh specialties, diabolo tops, windmills and kites, needles, threads, and miscellaneous department stores.

However, Jiang Yan felt that this situation was the same as before. After all, he had just recovered. It is estimated that there were not so many people here this time, let alone snacks and the like. This recovery always requires some process.

But when Jiang Yan and the others arrived at the temple fair, they realized that they were wrong. There was more than a sea of ​​people here. Seeing the endless heads of people, Jiang Yan felt that half of the people in the entire Sijiu City should be here!

A few of them found a place to watch cars, parked their cars in the parking lot, paid money to get a sign, and took a group of children to the temple fair.

Since there were too many children, Jiang Yan could not bring all the children here, so they only brought Ji Xiang Ruyi, Zihan and Yiyi to their family.

"Zihan, watch your sister. Follow me closely. If you really get separated, wait for me in the car. Watch your own things."

"Liu Zi, Zhu Zhu, you should also take care of your children and things. I guess there are a lot of Buddhas here, so be careful." After Jiang Yan ordered, he took his two precious daughters with one hand and followed the crowd into the temple fair.

Walking into the temple fair, there are a lot of snacks selling along the way, especially many classic snacks that have basically made their mark in the temple fair. Some more classic snacks such as Chatangli, Douzhi Zhang, Paodu King, Xinyuanzhai, Pea Yellow, Donkey Rolling, Aiwowo, Douzhi, Jiaohuan, etc. have been released. Smelling the aroma of these snacks, it really makes people feel a little bit excited. Not only Jiang Yan was salivating, but his children were also staring closely at these snacks. His two precious daughters even held Jiang Yan's hand and looked at him with pleading eyes.

Since the children wanted to eat, he didn't have to say anything. After buying one from the export, Jiang Yan took the children to eat all the way. These days, there are a lot of snacks, which not only requires money but also food stamps. Jiang Yan's behavior is nothing to worry about.

However, Jiang Yan almost ate what was left by the two precious girls. He also had a small belly and thought he had a small appetite. He only took two bites of many things and stuffed them directly to Jiang Yan. We ate a lot, but they just packed more. After all, there were still a few people at home who weren’t here, but the most packed ones were Xinyuanzhai’s sour plum cakes, sour plum brine, sesame marshmallows, bean flour marshmallows, Qiuli ointment, etc. These are some special pastries.

You must know that although these things are still available in later generations, the taste is probably much worse than what they are now. Many of them only appear in major hotels, but the prices are not acceptable to ordinary people.

After eating, Jiang Yan and the others followed the flow of people for a while and arrived at the Tutu Temple. This is the largest "book hunting place" in Sijiu City. The Changdian Temple Fair has always been unique in Lin for its books, antiques, calligraphy and painting stationery. , has been known as the "literary city" since ancient times.

So coming here is Jiang Yan's ultimate goal. Although Jiang Yan learned a lot of treasure appraisal knowledge from Master Niu, the real practice is quite limited. One is that Jiang Yan is busy with work, and the other is that later After Jiang Yan was assigned a secretary and bodyguard, it turned out that Jiang Yan had basically never been to these places. Even the legendary black market was basically insulated from Jiang Yan.

Many of the cultural relics and other things in Jiang Yan's space now are still things that Jiang Yan obtained from the commissioned store a long time ago. This time, Jiang Yan took a chance, so don't take it seriously.

When you enter this area, you can see a lot of stalls, including gold, stone, ceramics, antiques and jades, the four treasures of the study, and rubbings of inscriptions and inscriptions. Some people have given this place a name, "Treasure Exhibition Party", but to be honest, you can still find it after the exercise. It’s so rare to keep these things.

Jiang Yan was quite interested in these small stalls, but because there were too many people, he couldn't put the things he bought in his own space, so he just picked out some things that interested him.

So Jiang Yan went straight to those jade pendants, exquisite small incense burners and other relatively small things. However, in this short time, he actually bought more than a dozen small things that he was interested in.

Along the way, the business stopped and we came to a used bookstall. This is a good place for reading. Many people who like reading often come here. After coming to the bookstall and reading carefully, Jiang Yan discovered that all kinds of books here are natural. There are quite a few, even quite a few thread-bound books. I don’t know how they escaped this bad fate and were preserved. However, it can be seen that many books are not particularly well preserved, and many of them have traces of mold.

In addition to these old books, what Jiang Yan is most interested in are these comic books. These things are not only good for reading, but also have high collection value in future generations. So Jiang Yan spent more than 100 yuan and bought more than comic books alone. Ben, in the end it was too much to hold in his hand, and that was the end.

"Boss, why did you buy so many comic books?" He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask when he saw so many comic books in his hand.

"I liked it, so I bought it because I liked it. Besides, these things can pass the time for the children." Jiang Yan said casually.

"Hey! Boss, there is a set of Romance of the Three Kingdoms here. Please lend it to me first." Shitou looked at the book in his hand and said.

"Okay, you can choose yourselves when you go home."
