The city was covered with snow and white, and how many secrets were hidden, the hidden dragon quietly left the courtyard, leaving Zixia alone in the room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The peerless girl hugged her knees on the bed in a daze, her eyes were stunned to look at the sunlight that came in from the window, and after an hour or two, she suddenly stretched her delicate body, slowly got out of bed, and stepped barefoot on the ground.

"Jingyang Hou, Han Yue, Buddhism Qingyue is dead, I don't know if you will accept Zixia......" She sighed faintly, there was both longing and worry in her soft eyes, at this moment she was like a young girl with a young spring, not the scheming Buddha Gate Control Flower .

She searched in the room for a long time and found a full set of cotton clothes in the cabinet, although the materials were simple, but they were the favorite warm clothes of the people in Shenyang City.

"Wash away the lead, remove the false and keep the true......," she murmured, and suddenly took off her gold-silk monk's robe, and then put on a thick cotton jacket.

looks like a peasant girl, only her pretty face is still beautiful.

She slowly went out in cotton clothes, all the way out of the western district of Shenyang, and stood on the street blankly.

Although it is winter at this time, the city of Shenyang is still prosperous, there are many small stalls on both sides of the road, and the vendors sometimes use hot air to stomp their hands and stomp their feet to keep warm, and from time to time shout twice at the top of their voices, beckoning pedestrians to buy their own things.

This is the livelihood of the people, a life that has never been experienced in Buddhism before.

"Girl, when you go out shopping on a cold day, why don't you come and taste the hot porridge of the old body, a bowl of ten big coins, drink it and warm your whole body, so that you don't feel hungry all day long!"

An old woman stood in front of the stall and called, obviously thinking of Zixia as a peasant girl.

Zixia smiled at her, and deliberately quipped: "A bowl of hot porridge costs ten cents, auntie, whether you were born as a thief before, it is even more ruthless than robbing the road." ”

Although she is dressed in a cotton jacket, her pretty face is peerless, this smile is amazing, an uncle who sells cakes next to her swallows saliva, and the two young offspring also have straight eyes.

The old woman was a little at a loss, and explained again and again: "The girl must not talk nonsense, the old man's porridge is an eight-treasure meat porridge, which not only has eight kinds of grain, but also adds marching meat. ”

She said that she was afraid that Zixia would not believe it, and then explained: "Ten yuan for a bowl is really not expensive, and the cost alone is seven or eight yuan." The old man has no children and no daughters, and he will earn a meal and drink by doing this business, if you don't believe it, ask the surrounding vendors, my porridge is really not expensive, even our Hou Ye likes to come over to drink, and give me ten copper coins every time. ”

Ten cents for a bowl of porridge, to be honest, it is relatively expensive in Datang, and the old woman's business is not very good, but she is upright, and the eight-treasure meat porridge is full of ingredients, so there is no way to reduce the cost.

The cost can't be reduced, and the price can't be lowered.

Zixia chuckled and said softly: "Auntie, you don't need to explain, your porridge is very good, give me a bowl to taste." ”

The old woman was overjoyed, and hurriedly brought the bowl over and filled her with a big spoonful.

Zixia sat on the small stool next to her stall, drinking sweet porridge and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, I just heard you say that our Hou Ye likes to drink porridge, does he often come to go shopping?" ”

There is no need for the old woman to answer this, and the two young students who bought cakes next to him interjected and flattered: "Hou Ye likes to go shopping, as long as he has no official business in the yamen, he will definitely go to the street to take a stroll, but girl, don't wait today, Hou Ye's family is going to hold a banquet, and he will definitely not wander on the street......"

"I don't wait for Master Hou, I just ask casually!" Zixia smiled faintly at the two juniors, turned her head to the old woman and said, "Auntie, I am a desert escapee who just came from Guannei, and I want to get a shop in the city to earn food, but I don't know what business to do?" ”

"It turns out that the girl who just came to Shenyang City is a desert escape, no wonder you are wearing a newly issued cotton clothes!" The old woman nodded, and said with a kind face: "It's not difficult to get a shop, go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to apply for it, you can buy it or rent it." The old body recommends you to buy it, and if you don't have enough money, you can get a mortgage, and you can pay a little copper money every month. However, you have to pay a down payment of 30%, a shop is about 100 yuan, and you have to prepare a down payment of 30 yuan......"

The old man talked a lot, and the chatter would not be over, she didn't wait for Zixia to open her mouth, and then said: "You are a doll who escaped from the famine, I'm afraid you won't be able to get thirty yuan of money, but the old man can teach you a way, you go to the Dadu Governor's Mansion and take out the road guide written for you by the old government of your hometown, and the household grain yamen will give you a resettlement fee." ”

She glanced at Zixia when she said this, and suddenly lowered her voice and said: "There are two options for this settlement fee, one is to work for relief, and the other is to give you copper coins directly." The old man advises you not to take money, you can only get ten times when you take money, and it is different to work for relief, you can go to Hou Ye's workshop to work, earn points every day, and then there will be people from high-ranking families who will come to you to collect them at a high price. ”

Zixia sighed lightly, put down the porridge bowl in her hand and said: "Plundering the big clan, hiding the wealth from the people, Hou Ye is a good means." She suddenly realized that she was talking too much, and hurriedly picked up the porridge bowl again, and said with a smile while drinking: "Auntie, I sold my family's field and ancestral house when I fled the famine, and I was able to make a down payment of 30 yuan, so I don't have to work in the workshop......"

The old woman nodded, and suddenly said, "Actually, you are a girl's family, you don't have to think about opening a shop, just set up a stall on the street." ”

"Why is that?" Zixia was a little curious, she used to be a high-ranking Buddhist saint, where did she understand folk life.

The old woman smiled and said: "You need to invest money to open a shop, you don't need to set up a stall, you are an escape doll just want to earn food and drink, why bother to fiddle with those shops?" ”

She was afraid that the explanation would not be clear, so she whispered again: "To open a shop, you have to hire people, and you must pay your wages on time." Our Hou Ye issued a strict decree that you must pay your salary on a monthly basis when you hire someone in Shenyang City, and you are not allowed to pay it annually. If there is a default, the household grain yamen will immediately come to fine, and even the shop will be closed. ”

Zixia grinned and said, "Auntie, hearing you say this, I really don't dare to buy a shop to do things, I also set up a stall on the side of this street, just earn a bite to eat and drink, and by the way, I can give you a hand, you are so old, some hard work may not be able to do it......"

The old woman was overjoyed, and said with a kind face: "That relationship is good, that relationship is good, you can set up a stall next to the old man's stall, and we will do business together." ”

The two juniors next to him had been peeking at Zixia, and one of them suddenly said loudly: "Girl, I don't know what stall you want to set up and what kind of business you want to do?" If you don't know how to craft, you can't make copper money, it's better to ......"

There was some admiration in his eyes, and Ai Ai said: "Xiaosheng is a work-study student in the graduate school, and he has ten work-study scholarships every month, and he is looking for a daughter-in-law. ”

Seeing that Zixia refused to speak, he hurriedly said: "My academic performance is very good, Chief Engineer Gu Mingwei often praises me, and even our Hou Ye has instructed me to study." ”

Zixia glanced at him, shook her head lightly and said, "Don't blame this big brother, the little woman is already married, and I fled all the way to Shenyang just to find my husband." ”

The latter was a little unwilling, and said: "I am a student instructed by Master Hou, and I will have a great future in ......the future."

Zixia shook her head slowly and said in a low voice, "The little woman is already married." ”

My husband, a man of the world, can kill people ruthlessly when he throws himself into his arms, but he is not a young man like you.

The old woman next to her picked up the spoon and smashed it on the edge of the pot, and said angrily: "The second child of the Liu family, you obviously have a daughter-in-law in your family, why do you still want to deceive girls?" Hurry up and get rid of the old body, and if you dare to talk like this, the old body will sue you. ”

The latter was startled, covered his face and fled, and said as he ran: "Auntie, don't ruin my reputation, I didn't lie to her, I just wanted to marry a concubine." ”

"Phew!" The old woman spat heavily, and said to his back: "If you want to do evil things, you are afraid that people will ruin your reputation, and the research institute has recruited students like you, which is a shame for our lord." ”

Her chest continued to rise and fall, looking very angry, Zixia reached out to hold the old woman, and persuaded softly: "Don't be angry, the little girl will not be deceived by him, I only have my own husband in my heart." ”

"Alas, you are a doll in distress, you are handsome, and you will inevitably be disturbed by some afterlife." The old woman sighed and said solemnly: "In the future, you will be next to my stall, and the eldest lady will protect you to see who dares to do evil." If you really want to provoke us, I will sue when Hou Ye comes to drink porridge, and let Hou Ye rectify them......"

Zixia nodded again and again, she was not afraid of martial arts, but she enjoyed the feeling of being protected.

The old woman drove away the posterity, then put down the spoon in her hand and said: "Girl, although the posterity was angry just now, he was right about one thing, if you don't have the skills, I'm afraid you won't be able to make money from setting up a stall." It's better to be like this, the old body still has a little point, I'll go and change a snack recipe for you. ”

Zixia smiled and said with a grin: "Don't worry, auntie, I have a craft......"

She raised a beautiful face, her words were reminiscing, her voice was like a mosquito and a fly, and she said softly: "My father taught me an old Beijing fried noodles before, I think he will like to eat it!" ”

"What's the surface? Who likes to eat? "The old woman has bad ears and can't hear clearly for a while.

Zixia giggled: "Old Beijing fried noodles, this is the noodles from my father's hometown, and the man I married likes to eat the most......"

"It turns out that you can make noodles, that's very good, our Hou Ye also likes to eat noodles, and I will help you introduce business when he comes to drink porridge in the future!" The old woman said without a head or a brain.

She was an unintentional chatter from the elderly, but Zixia was very happy to hear it.
