Chapter 621

Shi Xiaorui laughed in her heart for a while. With her Mandarin accent, she said, "there are so many people today. It seems that things don't need money."

Lu Shao said: "it's not free, but it's the last day after all. Some things are cheaper. After all, tomorrow is new year's Eve. It's estimated that no one will sell anything outside."

Shi Xiaorui hasn't been out for a long time, but listening to the prices all the way, I still don't feel like it has come down much?

Lu Shao noticed her doubts and explained, "it's really down a little. But there are still many that have not been reduced. "

Sitting on Lu Shao's arm, Lu Xiran saw a sugar blower in the street and immediately grabbed Lu Shao's other hand: "Dad, look at that!"

Shi Xiaorui also followed Lu Xilan's point and saw a middle-aged man surrounded by a group of children. He skillfully blew a ball of sugar into the shape of a pig and handed it to a child in the crowd.

Shi Xiaorui said, "it's a sugar blower. Let's go and have a look."

She is a little distressed for her children. One of them goes to school every day, the other is always at home. She seldom goes shopping. Today, on a whim, she takes them out to have a look. Anyone who is interested can go shopping.

When the four arrived at the sugar blower's stall, Lu Xilan asked the stall owner to be a little monkey. Lu Ming didn't ask for anything, so he asked for a monkey.

When Shi Xiaorui was a child, she also saw this kind of sugar blowing stall. This is both a snack and a toy. The stall owner boiled the sugar into brown thin sugar, then picked up a ball while it was hot, connected a pipe, and blew all kinds of small animals. Like sugar painting, it was a great test of craftsmanship.

But later, we bought this just for fun. We seldom eat it again. After all, it was blown out by people. We were always worried that there would be saliva left in it.

The stall owner's craftsmanship is good. He didn't see how hard he worked. In the blink of an eye, he made two monkeys with different postures, one squatting and the other standing on one leg.

The stall owner glued two monkeys to a small bamboo stick with sugar, and the monkey squeezed out a small dish with sugar.

"This is monkey larch," the stall owner explained

Shi Xiaorui thought she had heard wrong: "what is this?"

The stall owner said, "it's monkey rush."

He handed the two monkeys to the hands of the two children, and saw a stream of syrup slowly flowing out of the monkey's buttocks, which just fell into the small dish below.

Shi Xiaorui

The two children are very happy, staring at, do not dislike.

The price of the sugar man is not low. After all, the sugar is still more expensive at this time.

Shi Xiaorui paid the money, and was a little puzzled about whether to stop the two children from eating it. Unfortunately, because of the cold weather, the syrup lost its heat, and soon solidified, and no longer flowed into the small dish below. Lu Xiran saw that there was no movement, so he bit off the small dish and ate it, but the little monkey above still had it.

Forget it. I'm not clean. I'm not sick after eating. Shi Xiaorui had no choice but to comfort herself.

Lu Ming is not only busy eating, he has been searching the street with his eyes.

Sure enough, he soon found the target - a stall selling Spring Festival couplets.

Because it was the last day a year ago, the stall owner's business was not bad, because it was really a good word. The Spring Festival couplets he wrote sold out very quickly. He was bending over the table to write now. He wrote three or four copies in a row before he stopped writing.

As if he were a thief, Lu Ming secretly went to see what was written on his Spring Festival couplets. Then he chose one of the pictures and wrote it down quickly. Then he turned his head and refused to look in that direction.

Lu Ming is very guilty. He always feels as if he has stolen other people's things. In the next shopping process, he is always restless and has no feeling of shopping. He lets Shi Xiaorui pull him away without saying a word.

Lu Xilan is the other extreme. He devotes himself to the whole process. When he sees that there are many people in any place, he asks him to squeeze over and have a look. Fortunately, Lu Shaoren's high horse is not easy to be provoked. Only in this way can he successfully squeeze his way out of the crowd.

Soon, Lu Xiran's hand was full of all kinds of snacks and gadgets he had bought all the way. Lu Shao's other hand was also carrying a bamboo basket that didn't match him. It was full of other things that Lu Xiran couldn't take down after he bought it.

Shi Xiaorui knows that most of them are gadgets that she won't play with for a second time after she has bought them. However, as a child, it's rare to have a chance to spend money. Shi Xiaorui doesn't say anything, so she just buys them.

After caring about her daughter, Shi Xiaorui goes to see her son.

Lu Ming has a serious expression on his face. He doesn't know what he is thinking.

Shi Xiaorui asked: "ming'er, is there nothing you want to buy?"

In fact, she saw several things she wanted at the street stall just now. Unfortunately, she didn't have so many spare hands to carry them. So she thought that she had to give up. After all, today she mainly comes to play with her children. She always has to think about them first. Lu Ming hasn't bought anything yet. If Wanyi has bought a large one, she must take it by herself.

Lu Ming Leng for a while before reaction, quickly said: "no, no, we buy some red paper on the line."

Lu Ming did not remind, Shi Xiaorui almost forgot.

The main reason is that she didn't expect today's fair to be so busy, or because the medical center at home is a bit remote. Shi Xiaorui always guards the medical center, and she has never seen such a busy scene.

Shi Xiaorui rushed to see if there were any red paper sellers around. Unfortunately, there were even small animals in the market, but she didn't see any red paper sellers.

Lu Shao said: "don't look here. Go to the bookstore and study."

The party made clear their goal and found a place half a street away.

During the Spring Festival, there is no business in the study. Looking at the bustle outside, the shopkeeper's mind is basically not in his own shop. When he saw Shi Xiaorui and others coming in for a turn, he knew that this shop really wanted to buy things. He came to greet them quickly.

The Spring Festival couplets don't need so much red paper. Shi Xiaorui thinks about it, so she can buy Lu Ming's other paper, ink brush and inkstone together. She asks Xiao Er to cut some good rice paper and buy Lu Ming a piece of pine smoke ink at a high price.

The pine smoke ink can also be used as medicine. Shi Xiaorui saw the ink and smelled it specially. While he was cutting paper, he said to Shi Xiaorui, "this pine smoke ink is only sold by our shop in the capital. My guest, you are here!"

Shi Xiaorui has never seen the real pine smoke ink before. The formula of this ink has long been lost in modern times, leaving only some descriptions.
