The next day ah Yao went out and opened the door to see the smiling face of the Iceman with heavy makeup.
"Yao Zhu girl."
She had to follow her smiling face, step out of her house, reach out and lock the door, and ask, "Hello, what can I do for you?"
The Iceman didn't expect that ah Yao didn't even give her a chance to sit in. She locked the door directly and almost broke her smile. "My feet were tired when I walked from the west city to the east city. I thought there was something good to discuss with you. When I came here, you didn't want to know what it was?"
"I guess a little, but I'm sorry I can't invite you home. It's really inseparable from people in the foot shop. Yesterday, the landlady sent someone to talk to me. Let's talk while walking?" A Yao said she was embarrassed, but her expression was embarrassed.
The Iceman kept smiling, nodded and secretly warned himself to be calm. The scholar said that she would give a red seal of two liang of silver when it was done. She also received a deposit of one or two silver. How many storms have not been seen, and she was afraid of being made difficult by a girl?
"... the details are roughly like this. This scholar can't say that he can go to high school in one fell swoop, become the number one scholar or visit flowers in Qiuwei. If you want to agree to this marriage, you are the proper official wife! I don't know if you've heard of it. Those rich people like to catch their son-in-law under the list. If such a good scholar becomes someone else's husband, you'll regret it too late. "
A Yao's house is very close to the store. Within 200 steps, when you get out of the alley, turn into the street of dongchengxiang, and a few more steps forward is sun Niang's foot shop. The Iceman tried his best all the way, and his words popped out. A Yao admired this vital capacity without breathing or saying anything else. She stopped before turning out of the street: "take a breath first. I understand what you mean."
"What does Miss Yao Zhu mean?" Asked the Iceman.
"You're tired after talking so much. Please moisten your voice with this money." A Yao took out a simple red envelope folded with red paper from her sleeve. There were ten copper coins in it and put it into the Iceman's hand. "It's just this marriage. I don't agree. Please go back and tell the scholar."
The Iceman asked. At the same time, he weighed the money given by a Yao and looked away. He thought he was really mean: "why? Where can you find a good man who can't hold a lantern? "
A Yao said, "I still have a mother and a sister in my family. Apart from the burning words of my parents' orders, it's unreasonable for you to find the place where I live instead of talking to my mother about marriage; Besides, I already have a fiancee and a son-in-law. That's the baby kiss my mother set before. Please tell the scholar not to waste time on me. "
She thought for a night, and all the reasons were not as good as the reason of "she has an unmarried husband". She was not from the capital. Who knew whether she would be engaged? With this "husband" as the threshold, no Iceman would come to talk about marriage. When the moon watching bird's nest was over, she left for Nanxun. People with very shallow contacts could forget her in less than a month.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the Iceman stopped pestering, "yes, I'll go back and tell the scholar."
"It's hard for you." A Yao was relieved and took out another thing from her sleeve. This time it was a purse. She handed the Iceman: "it's a long way from east to west. You might as well rent a carriage instead."
The Iceman put it in his sleeve, stretched out two fingers and groped into his purse. He immediately smiled and arched his hands and said, "well, I wish the girl and your future husband have the same eyebrows, and the children and grandchildren around their knees, no disease and no pain..."
A Yao went back to sun Niang's foot shop to start a busy day.
At noon, the sun was so hot that the streets looked twisted and steaming.
There are not many pedestrians on the road. Which flag sign says "ice water", and that store must be full of people.
"How can people live in such a hot weather before the summer heat?" Sun Niang fanned her two children and was busy feeding tea. It's too hot this day, and there's no wind in the street. Even if you stay in the house, you feel very muggy.
There is no doubt that hangua, Pufan and mat are three piece sets for summer vacation.
But this is far from enough. Even if you use lotus leaves as a hat, your voice will smoke when you go outside.
"Yes." The old diners should say, "Madam boss, you see there are some ice water signs hanging outside to make more money. We are really tired of drinking Wumei soup. Let yaozhu make some new ones quickly?"
"Yao Zhu, do you hear me? Do it yourself! " Said the landlady.
A Yao asked, "I heard you. Let me think... What do you want to drink? I'll do it."
It seemed that the gate was opened, and the diners shouted:
"Ice, ice!"
"I want to drink slightly bitter and sweet. I'd better put some salt, no tea, no licorice."
"Me too! I want to drink sour and sweet, but not black plum. "
"I want something sweet, not too sweet."
"I want something sweet! Sweet soup! "
What evil did she do? She asked them to order and see what they ordered!
How angry!
A Yao angrily returns to the kitchen and ponders over how to complete their wonderful requirements against the ingredients in the kitchen.
Not long after she returned to the kitchen, a new guest came to the foot shop. He was pockmarked and dressed in an old green robe. He still had a book in his arms, revealing half of it. He looked like a scholar.
As soon as he entered the door, he looked into the kitchen, looked around the whole lobby, saw a certain position, frowned and swaggered in.
Li Gang greeted him and took him to the empty table: "Sir, come with me. There is still an empty table here."
He pointed to the table nearest to the kitchen and said, "I'm not going there! I want the position over there! "
Li Gang walked around his head. The guest was really strange. He thought he might want to join the fun and said, "if you don't mind sharing the table, I'll ask for you."
"Anything." He waved to Li Gang to do it quickly.
The old diners had no problem. They put the two tables together to make room for him. The man sat down impolitely and didn't say thanks. Facing the kitchen, he took out his book as a fan.
What a freak.
Whatever.
They made eye contact, and then began to guess what kind of answer a Yao would give to their questions. It's really exciting.
"I hope it won't be too hard to drink."
"Ha ha, it's hard to say. What you ordered is bitter, sweet and salt. I thought of ice and snow licorice drink. You specifically asked not licorice, and the rest may be... Let me guess, lotus leaf tea, lotus seed heart, dandelion, balsam pear, Panax notoginseng, Huanglian, ginseng tea..."
"Hey, don't, don't, don't. The more you say, the more terrible it is. But it seems good to participate in tea?"
"Wake up, it's not dark yet. I dream so early."
They joked. The scholar suddenly turned back and shouted, "you're so noisy. Can you be quiet!"
The atmosphere was suddenly strangely quiet.
A Yao sank down to make a drink, scooped up the soup and blew away the heat. She was about to taste the taste, but she was so frightened by the roar that she drank it and burned her tongue and throat.
