Walking out of the alley to the main street, you will see a lively scene.
The clothing of the pedestrians walking on the street is not much different from that of the people in Dai Viet, most of them wearing coarse linen and linen clothes. However, there are obvious differences in the various buildings and food on the street.
All the shops facing the street are made of bamboo, and copper bells hang under the eaves and beside the doors.
The items for sale at the street stalls are also strange and weird. There are many fish bone ornaments, even women's hairpins, they also like to carve koi fish on the head.
This sense of foreignness makes people feel particularly fresh.
"The stall over there sells freshly fried fish cakes. Do you want to try it?" Bai Yu asked, pointing to a snack stall on the corner of the street.
The two of them swaggered around among the passers-by, and after changing their faces, they didn't attract any attention at all.
Tian Bao glanced at the stall and could already smell the aroma of fried fish cakes in his nose, "How do you know that the fish cakes sold there are fish cakes?"
The boy pointed to the small sign next to the stall that was accidentally kicked by passers-by, and couldn't help laughing, "That's what it says on the vertical sign."
Tianbao, "..."
Once the fish cakes are fried, you can skewer them on a bamboo skewer and eat them on the go.
At this moment, the street was crowded with people in another area, and there were bursts of applause and cheers.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, there are folk artists in Cangwu City who come from all over the surrounding areas to attend the temple fair. They will also perform in the streets and alleys before the temple fair to earn some money first.
Tianbao and Bai Yu slowly walked over while eating fish cakes. Before they squeezed into the crowd, they heard a very familiar voice coming from inside, "Yo! My chest is broken! It's awesome! I can do this! Come on! Uncle, uncle, uncle." Brother, I’m here to join in the fun! If you perform well, please give me some reward!"
Tianbao, Bai Yu, "..."
It seems that there is more than one person in their little Su family.
Su Wu gracefully bowed his hands to the onlookers in the circle, then took off his shirt and walked to the straw mat placed beside him to lie down. With a little effort, his tendons immediately showed a strong outline, "Get on the big stone!"
It made the spectators burst into laughter.
The heavy stone slab pressed down on him, but the young man's expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his face. He was not worried that he would be beaten to death by a big hammer, "Go ahead! We are all gangsters. I believe in the skills of my uncles!" Come!"
He was not afraid, but made the strong man who was responsible for smashing rocks with a hammer make his mouth twitch, which was funny and admirable.
"Okay, we who are in the world of martial arts like this little brother's straightforwardness! Judges, watch out!" The strong man shouted and slammed down the hammer.
There was a local sound and the big stone shattered.
The young man climbed up unscathed and smiled as he patted away the debris on his chest, "It's not easy to be an entertainer! If the spectators think the performance is good, please give it a try!"
As soon as he finished speaking, laughter and the clanking of coins falling into wooden boxes merged into one.
There were also two casual conversations interspersed in the middle, "Write it down and report it to grandpa and grandma when you go back."
"We must not forget that such pride should be shared by our grandparents."
"Would you like to see a reward?"
"My brother is making his debut in the world. It's unreasonable not to give him some reward. Let's reward him with a few copper coins and then ask him to perform a show in return."
Tian Bao silently withdrew from the crowd with a sullen face, refusing to join the others.
Bai Yu couldn't help laughing and followed up, raised his backhand slightly, and half a silver coin fell accurately into the artist's wooden box, in exchange for an excited thank you from the person asking for the reward.
A bird's nest head walked flexibly through the crowd. When he passed by the boy and girl, he reached out and snatched the unfinished fish cake from the girl's hand, and disappeared at the end of the street.
Behind, the guard fell a long way behind and continued to chase while panting.
Bai Yu couldn't help it anymore, he held his belly with his hands and his neck turned red, "The city is really... very lively today, hahaha!"
Tianbao, "..."
After walking two streets and trying everything they had never tasted before, when they arrived at the restaurant set up at the corner of Qianmo Street, their stomachs were already full.
I walked to the private room on the third floor, opened the door, and found two people sitting inside.
There is an aristocratic gentleman in a January robe and a guard with a full beard. However, compared to the gentle smile on the gentleman's face, the guard's face is not so good-looking and looks indignant.
"You're here, can you still drink tea?" The master raised his eyebrows and seemed to be smiling.
Bai Yu pretended not to understand the joke, walked in and sat down with a playful smile on his face, "Godfather, have you got the news?"
"Yes." Bai Xiaofeng did not elaborate on the news he had received. He took a tea cup and poured a cup of tea to drink slowly. "Our whereabouts will be exposed when we enter the city. Someone will come to your door soon. Please be careful these days."
The bearded man's face became even darker, "The Emperor Long Yuanguo's brain is filled with grass or water. He issued another order in the territory a few months ago, selling a few of our heads for a huge sum of money. My head is now worth thousands of gold, grass!"
For the first time in his life, he realized that he was so valuable!
Tianbao's eyes widened, "Then my head is definitely worth two thousand gold!"
The three of them looked at her speechless and choked. This is not something to be proud of, treasure.
Bai Xiaofeng raised her lips and shook her folding fan, "Daughter, don't underestimate yourself, your head is worth ten thousand gold."
"Is Emperor Long Yuanguo so rich?"
"Not only Long Yuan, but eight other countries have also bid, all with ten thousand taels of gold. In other words, if I win you, I will get ninety thousand gold, and you will become a rich man immediately."
Jiu Guo likes Tianbao's head very much.
Tianbao, "..."
That's not how money is spent.
Since they had prepared the money, it would be a shame for her not to take it.
She tilted her head and asked, "Daddy, how much does your head cost?"
"...One thousand five pieces of gold."
"Where's Grandpa Poison?"
"Two thousand gold."
The bearded man rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to tell a series of numbers, saving the little girl from asking questions one by one. He became distressed when he heard it, "Boy Bai, five hundred silver, Su An, Su Wen, and Su Wu each have one hundred taels of silver. These four It’s negligible, no one is willing to die for a mere few hundred taels of silver, but with thousands of taels of gold, there are more people willing to take risks.”
The negligible Bai Yu's white teeth were ringing, and he slapped his hand on the table, "Those people really have no vision! My young master Bai is only worth five hundred taels? Who set the price? The young master stuffed a thousand taels into his mouth. !”
The bearded man finally met someone he knew. He patted the young man on the shoulder with his big hand and cursed the classic Three Character Sutra.
Ever since he knew his price, the feeling of being insulted has lingered. Is he so worthless?
Even if the price of his big beard is lower than that of Bai Xiaofeng, the old guy Du Buguo is still higher than the two of them.
Are the emperors of all countries all thinking about Baba?
When it comes to boxing and kicking, the old man is the worst! Forget about being a human being, he is venomous and loves to play, and he is still walking his dog on the street and has not come back!
There are many people having tea in and out of the restaurant, and there is a lot of noise. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the temple fair is about to start, and the city is bustling everywhere.
Only in a private room on the third floor, the bustle couldn't come in.
The room was filled with resentment.
