fisherwoman

Lin Xueman smiled lightly, but did not answer. Xiao Chengyu's voice and smile appeared in front of her eyes. She felt sore, paused, and then asked disapprovingly: "Why did you think of asking this today? Do you have anything to tell me?"

Yuzui Village is good everywhere, but the news is too closed. The people here don't even know that the war broke out in Xuangang Town, or that the war didn't reach here, they don't care, let alone ask them to find out the end of the war. no.

"Hey, it's nothing, I just heard that Daqi's men are taller and burlier than our Yueshi's men, so I asked this question." Caihua covered her mouth and smiled, "Otherwise, how could our Yueshi's princess know How about marrying into Daqi? Didn't our King Yuezhi insist on marrying because of the good looks of Daqi's crown prince?"

"It seems that you know quite a lot!" Lin Xueman turned to look at her, and said, "Who did you listen to?"

"Of course I heard from my uncle, because he does business in the town and often delivers goods outside. He has contact with many people and naturally knows a lot of news." Caihua smiled and said proudly, "And I also I heard that our princess, the son-in-law, is not the real prince of Daqi, the real prince is someone else, that's why this war broke out in Xuangang!"

"Is the Xuangang war over?" Lin Xueman stopped what she was doing and asked seriously.

"I don't know! I haven't seen my uncle since the Chinese New Year!" Cauliflower shook her head and shrugged. Seeing that Lin Xueman was very concerned about this matter, she knew that she was worried about her husband, so she thought about it.Then he said, "Why don't I go to the town to deliver the dried fish tomorrow, take you for a walk around the town, and ask my uncle by the way?"

"That's great, I just want to go to the town to buy some clothes and thread!" Lin Xueman nodded and replied. For more than a month, she has been staying at home to help Shen's make some things, except for occasionally going to the village. chores.Haven't been to town yet!

The winter of Yuezhi is very short. Just after entering February, the branches on the roadside have already started to turn green. From a distance, it looks like a vast green mist, gently rippling in the early spring breeze.

The street is colorful.

Most of the people here are wearing colorful clothes.With a peaceful expression, he walked through the streets and alleys, occasionally a carriage passed by, and he walked in the crowd at a leisurely pace.

The shops in Yuzui Town are not big, and they seem to be built in a unified manner. Through the wide-open shop doors, you can see that the inside is very clean and delicate.And there is a wooden sign at the end of each street with the name of each street written on it.Quite modern.

Lin Xueman sat in the carriage, opened the curtains, and looked at this exotic town calmly. Unlike Daqi, Yuzui Town is a square, no matter whether it is North-South Street or East-West Street. All roads are straight.After reading a few street names, she understood.There are twelve roads in this town, and they are named after the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. She glanced at the wooden sign in front of her, which was engraved with three large Chinese characters: Mouse Street.

Mouse Street!She read the street name with a smile on her lips, interesting!

Arrived at the dried fish shop.

A fishy smell rushed towards him.

Although it was a little pungent, Lin Xueman was not disgusted with the smell, but felt a very friendly feeling. The clerk in the fish shop walked up to the carriage with ease, and stretched out his big callused hand to grab the cloth bag from the cart. , opened it, grabbed a handful of small dried fish and looked at it, then fastened the pocket, took out the steelyard and weighed it, then threw it to the ground aside, and shouted: "Thirty catties of noodle fish, high-quality goods, a total of Thirty copper coins!"

Only one copper plate per catty?

Lin Xueman couldn't help shaking her head, it's too cheap, these small fish from Yuzui Village will be dumped directly on the large rocks on the seawall that are specially used for drying fish, they are not only fresh but also very clean, obviously they are the goods Wait, it only sells for a penny!

But Caihua stepped forward to take the copper coins with a face full of excitement, put them away as if they were treasures, and smiled at Lin Xueman: "Let's go, let's go find my uncle! He's on the other side of Baima Street."

"Since your uncle is also in business, why don't you deliver it to your uncle's shop?" Lin Xueman asked suspiciously.

"Hi! My uncle doesn't do the business of receiving goods, he specializes in delivering goods for others." Caihua picked up a copper coin from her bosom, looked at it against the sun for a long time, put it on her lips and kissed it, and said with a smile on her face , "Miss Lin, my mother said that I can keep the money for myself, how about it? I'll invite you to eat cuttlefish stewed cakes in front later, and you won't want to leave after eating!"

The sun shone on her young and happy face, and that carefree smile seemed to ignite the surrounding air at once, and Lin Xueman became excited all of a sudden, and she responded straightforwardly: "Okay! Then I have a good day today." Already!"

Baima Street is located in the center of the whole town. In front of the shops of Baimahang, people come and go, and there is an endless stream of carriages and horses.

Several strong men were busy loading the goods onto the carriage back and forth.

Probably Uncle Cauliflower is in the logistics business!

Lin Xueman secretly guessed.

Cauliflower held up the hem of her skirt and ran towards the shop excitedly.

After a while, he walked out resentfully, and said to Lin Xueman: "My uncle went out to deliver goods a few days ago, and he won't be back until some time later.

"Then just wait a few days!" Lin Xueman was also disappointed for a while.

"Let's go, let's go to Fat Niu Street for dinner, I invite you!" Cauliflower became excited again, stepped forward to hold Lin Xueman's hand, and said with a smile, "The most authentic squid stewed cake in Yuzui Town, let's go!"

Lin Xueman excitedly followed her and ran forward.

Fat Niu Street is at the outskirts of the town, and the tables are placed in the open space in front of the store. Sitting here, looking out, you can see the sea in the distance. The sea and the sky are connected to form a gorgeous blue. Unscrupulously spread out, it is refreshing.

Three or two people gathered together, talking in low voices and laughing from time to time.

As soon as the two of them sat down, a young man came over to say hello and asked with a smile on his face, "You two guests, what are your orders?"

Caihua looked at Lin Xueman and said, "Two bowls of cuttlefish braised cakes and two special side dishes!"

"Okay!" The boy put the cloth towel on his shoulders and shouted loudly, "Two bowls of cuttlefish braised cakes!"

Lin Xueman saw that a fine layer of sand had fallen on the mottled table, so she took the rag beside her and wiped it, and said with a smile, "I feel like eating on the beach."

"That's right! This house never wipes the table, saying that when the wind blows, it will be blown away by the wind!" Cauliflower couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling.

"That's true!" Lin Xueman smiled.

After a while, two bowls of steaming and fragrant cuttlefish stewed noodles were served. The noodles in the large porcelain bowls looked like a black ball, sprinkled with some green green onions, and the tempting aroma carried the flavor of the sea. The breath rushed towards the face, making people want to quickly pick up chopsticks and try something new.

Lin Xueman was surprised by the two side dishes. It turns out that the so-called special side dishes here are just a plate of cold seaweed and a plate of small cabbage.

What a feature!

The cuttlefish stewed cake in the bowl is really delicious. Some cabbage leaves are added in it. Although the appearance is not very good, the taste is not bad. There is a lot of cuttlefish in it, and the cabbage and cake are stained black by the ink of the cuttlefish. , I can’t tell which is cuttlefish and which is cake, a full bowl is very affordable.

The two ate with gusto.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Cauliflower quickly finished eating the braised cakes in the bowl, and said with a smile, "My uncle brought me here for the first time! I think this is the best I have ever eaten in my life Best meal ever!"

"Well, it's not bad. I will do this squid stewed cake. I will make it for you later!" Although Lin Xueman had never seen this kind of stewed cake before, she knew how to do it after eating it once. The good noodle cakes are cut into finger-sized strips, then the cuttlefish and cabbage are fried in the pan, and finally the cut noodle cakes are put into the pan and fried together, add some water as soup and it’s ready!

"Really? That's good." Cauliflower became excited again, and grinned, "What kind of special dish did Mrs. Lin cook, don't forget me! I don't know what your rice tastes like at Daqi's." Woolen cloth!"

"Don't worry!" Lin Xueman said with a smile, "If I forget anyone, I will never forget you!"

It can be seen that this woman is an authentic foodie!

"Little lady is from Daqi?" The two women who were eating next to them heard this and turned around, one of them asked with a smile.

The clothes on both of them are of exquisite texture and fine workmanship, and they look graceful and luxurious.

"Yes!" Lin Xueman looked at the two of them vigilantly, and seeing that they were kindly looking, and seemed to be asking casually, she replied softly.

"I said the accent is different!" One of the women in red smiled, and turned around to the woman in blue and said, "There is a young man in my shop, who is also from Daqi, and his accent is the same as that of this Like a little lady, that's why I asked."

Lin Xueman saw that the two of them didn't ask her any more questions, and just sat there chatting without saying a word, so she felt relieved, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"The one in red is next door to my uncle, who sells silk, and there are several workshops at home!" Cai Hua whispered, "And there is a shop in the city, which is much bigger than the one in Yuzui Town!"

"Now that the war in Xuangang is over, the business of my sister's house will be better, right?" the woman in blue asked unhurriedly.

it's over!Lin Xueman was overjoyed.

So Xiao Chengyu must have returned to Daqi, right?

"Well, at least the road is unimpeded. During the war, the road near Xuangang was blocked. Every time I deliver goods, I have to take a long detour. It's troublesome!" The woman in red complained, "Although it is still There are roadblocks, but they are not as strict as before, as long as you tell where you are going and what you are doing, they will not stop you."

"Isn't the war over? Why are there still roadblocks?" the woman in blue asked casually.

"I heard that the son-in-law has not yet evacuated from Xuangang, so the road is still sealed." The woman in red leaned forward and whispered, "I heard that the princess is about to give birth, so it is not suitable for driving and horses. Wait until the princess is born before returning to the palace!"

Counting it, Xue Yi has also been in these two days!

May their mother and child be safe!

Thinking of the past, Lin Xueman couldn't help sighing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
