Chapter 194

Seeing Lin Xiaoman, someone wanted to come over to say hello, Lin Xiaoman pulled Lin Erhu and got into the crowd.

It's a joke, in front of so many people, they uttered 'Princess Qingping', and she had to be surrounded and admired like a monkey.

However, Aunt Osmanthus took care of those in-laws' family submissively. Not only did she not come to the house to make trouble, but she could also make money with her, which is also a good thing.

It seems that the vegetables grown this year have earned money, and the old lady is not as shallow-sighted as before.

Well, the days are moving in a good direction.

In addition to selling skewers with baskets on their shoulders, Lin Xiaoman also saw many people pushing carts selling hot ginger tea on the side of the road, and looking at the jars containing ginger tea, he could tell that it was from the Fourth Grandma's workshop.

There are also many people walking and eating stewed skewers. When they pass by, they smell the smell, which is the smell of the food bags taken away by the family members of the officials and yamen servants when they go home to kill pigs.

After that, they came to buy braised meat buns a few times, saying that it was a braised meat shop opened in the city, and the business was very good.They all seem to be business-minded.

Lin Xiaoman also bought some marinated skewers to taste, the taste was alright, but it felt like there was something missing.

Probably delicious soy sauce and MSG chicken.

I also saw a seller of fried potato cubes, sprinkled with a little chili powder and salt noodles, the size of a bite, and sold for a penny.

Lin Xiaoman bought some for [-] Wen, and put them in an oil paper bag, which is convenient to carry and eat while walking.

I tasted it, that is, the taste of potatoes fried in oil. It is not unpalatable, nor is it delicious. It is not as delicious as the small potatoes sold on the iron plate.

Walking around in a circle, most of the popular snacks in the market are related to her, which makes me feel proud when I think about it.

In addition to food, the best sellers today are all kinds of lanterns.

Unlike the plastic ones over there, the lanterns here are all made of paper or gauze, and candles are inserted inside. You have to be careful when buying one and carry it in your hand, for fear that if you turn over the candle, you will light the lantern.

Even though I was so careful, I heard someone exclaiming that their lantern was on fire from time to time.

Lu Jin bought Lin Xiaoman a rabbit's cup. The white rabbit was holding a carrot in its arms. It wasn't very delicate, and it was even ridiculously ugly.

Lin Xiaoman raised it carefully, for fear that the rabbit lamp would catch fire if he was not careful.

Suddenly, hearing applause, Lin Xiaoman looked over there, but there were people everywhere, and it was not clear whether someone was performing.

Lu Jin was protecting Lin Xiaoman, Qingshu held Lin Erhu and squeezed into the crowd, and saw a small black and thin man with a monkey tied to a chain, holding a small whip in his hand, directing the monkey to make moves. Various actions.

The children next to him clapped their hands, and the adults also kept applauding.

In the past, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu would have watched it with great interest, but after going there and being exposed to many new ideas, both siblings began to sympathize with the monkeys who were forced to perform.

But compared to the skinny and dry man, the monkey is fatter, and his hair looks smooth even under the light.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman's expression was wrong, Lu Jin leaned into her ear and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xiaoman shook her head, what did she want to say that it was wrong for monkey trickers to abuse monkeys?After all, the thinking of people in this era is different from that of later generations. She really jumped out and said that those monkeys were pitiful, and asked the monkey tricker to let them go. Everyone probably thought she was sick.

But it looks like this monkey is well-raised, and it doesn't look like it has been abused.

After a round of juggling, the monkey was bouncing around the circle of people with a big bowl in hand.

Most people will throw a few copper coins into the big bowl, and some don't want to give money, the monkey will stand for a while and then go to the next one.

When he walked in front of Lin Xiaoman, Lin Xiaoman put the oily paper bag of small potatoes he just bought into a large bowl.

The monkey looked at the paper bag in a daze, then leaned in front of the paper bag and smelled it, and then wanted to open it and eat.

The man was chatting with the surrounding people. Seeing that the monkey was about to eat, he ran over and snatched the bag from his hand. When Lin Xiaoman thought he was going to teach the monkey a lesson, the man opened the bag and took a look. Give it back to the monkey.I touched the top of its head, took the big bowl in its hand, and said angrily and funnyly: "Greedy thing, eat it at the same time!"

The monkey held the paper bag with one front paw, and hopped with three paws to sit on the stool beside it. It also knew how to eat potato cubes with the bamboo stick inside.

That clever and weird appearance amused the onlookers, and many people threw money into the man's bowl.

The man has a sweet mouth and can talk, he calls a girl when he sees a woman, he makes a few elderly women laugh, and he doesn't feel bad about throwing money.

When she saw a child, she called her Miss Gongzi, and praised the child for being rich and noble. The adults next to her were happy to hear it, and willingly threw money into the bowl.

When he got the reward, the man would turn around and tell the monkey to buy food for it. Coupled with the monkey's funny looks from time to time, the bowl was full of copper coins before he finished walking around.

Lu Jin even gave a piece of silver, and the man immediately knelt down, kowtowed twice, and blurted out a series of auspicious words, his tongue was so quick that even if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't understand what he said.

Lu Jin was used to being kneeled by people, so he didn't feel anything. Lin Erhu was surprised to hear that this monkey tricker was also a strange person, and ordinary people would not be able to recite these auspicious words alone.

After watching the monkey show, Lin Xiaoman and the others went shopping for a while and it was getting late. People living outside the city left the city one after another, and people in the city also went shopping. There were not so many people on the street, and many stalls All ready to settle.

Lu Jin wanted to take Lin Xiaoman and his brother back to the county government office, while Lin Xiaoman wanted to live with the fourth grandma.

In the end, Lu Jin said that Lin Xiaoman could not be moved, and sent the siblings to the fourth grandma.

When I was about to get to Fourth Grandma's place, I heard people scolding in the alley ahead. One of them was sneaky and swearing in the same way, but it was really dirty.Lu Jin didn't want to dirty Lin Xiaoman's ears, so she signaled Qingshu to take a look.

Qing Shu took the order and ran into the alley after a few steps,

Lin Xiaoman listened for a while, but said: "The one who scolded people sounds like a monkey tricker, did he encounter robbery?"

Lu Jin sounded the same, a little worried about that fat monkey.

Qing Shu went in and let out a roar, the people inside were quiet for a while, then someone told Qing Shu not to mind his own business, how could Qing Shu listen, he just listened to the yelling of Ouch.

An official who was watching the night passed by, heard the sound and hurried over, saw Lu Jin and his siblings standing outside the alley, greeted the three of them respectively, and heard that Qingshu was inside, several officials rushed in.

Not long after, the officials escorted five people out from the inside. These five people all had scratches on their faces, and they looked a little miserable.

Qing Shu followed behind them, making the monkey man next to him even smaller.

At this time, the monkey man's face was beaten black and blue, his clothes were torn with several holes, and the reed flowers inside were floating everywhere.

But the fat monkey was held in his arms, whining, and raised his hand from time to time to touch the monkey man's injured face, and whimpered a few times after touching it, his little eyes were filled with distress.
