Ma'am, is there someone out there?

It has been a month since the snow damage, and Qingzhou seems to have returned to its usual bustle.

At least walking in the still bustling market, what Shen Qing could feel was the lively atmosphere of the past.It may also be the reason for the approaching season.

The second day is the winter solstice.

People in the north have the habit of eating dumplings during the winter solstice. When they first arrived at the General’s Mansion in the early years, the old housekeeper thought that Shen Qing came from the capital, and he was afraid that there would be a custom of "eating dumplings when the winter solstice comes". There were several pots of stuffing-flavored dumplings, which made Shen Qing laugh and cry, and he ate a large bowl full of dumplings with different fillings.

In the second year, Shen Qing told the old steward that he did as the Romans did when he went to the country, and now that he is a native of Qingzhou, he followed the customs of Qingzhou, so the old steward gave up his plan to cook dumplings with [-] kinds of fillings, and followed the customs of Qingzhou Cook the gnocchi.

In fact, Shen Qing doesn't particularly like glutinous rice balls, he probably doesn't like sweet and greasy things, but eating this glutinous rice balls now always reminds him of the old days when he was by his parents' side.Mother's skill in making glutinous rice balls is there, but at that time Shen Qing didn't like to eat them, and quite disliked them, but now she misses them very much.

The events of the past life suddenly seemed like a big dream, and Shen Qing sometimes doubted whether the so-called modern society and the end of the world were imagined by him, but the space on his body reminded him that the events of the past life were not illusory.

It's just that the past is over, and those who come can't follow.

When his parents were there, he thought he had a lot of time to be filial, but when his parents left, he realized that he was alone in this world.Perhaps the reason why most people always have marriage is to make themselves not alone for the rest of their lives.

When the new year's day comes, Shen Qing is prone to be infected with this kind of emotion.

Xuan Shen who was walking beside him naturally also felt that Shen Qing was suddenly depressed.He pushed Shen Qing, pointed to the peddler with a stall on the side of the road and asked, "What is that?"

Shen Qing was disturbed by Xuan Shen, so he broke away from his emotions and followed Xuan Shen's hand to look over.

It turned out that it was a small stall selling sugar figurines. There were all kinds of sugar figurines in front of the sugar blowers. The simple ones had patterns of little monkeys and bunnies, and the more complicated ones even included Erlong Xizhu, and there were sugar figurines every year. Fish and other colors, a group of children are curiously watching the stall around the stall owner.

Thinking of how many years old Xuan Shen's child is, and still looks like a childlike innocence, the depression in Shen Qing's heart also dissipated.

"If you want to see it, go and see it." Shen Qing said to Xuan Shen.

Xuan Shen was a little embarrassed now, he just pointed casually, trying to distract Shen Qing's attention, but he didn't know what he was pointing at.Xuan Shen, whose mind was gradually clear, was no longer the time when Shen Qing picked him up and was completely ignorant of the world.

He would also feel awkward, after all, it would be uncoordinated for Xuanshen to squeeze into a place surrounded by a group of children.Although Shen Qing didn't know his exact age, he probably knew how many years older he was than Shen Qing.

However, Xuan Shen took a few glances at the "sugar figurines" in front of the sugar blowing booth, he was indeed curious.

Xuan Shen blushed and didn't answer, but moved his legs away and moved to the stall.

The craftsmanship of the Sugar Blower is ingenious, and all of this skill lies in the word "blowing".

He took a piece of bamboo and rolled up a piece of yellow-brown caramel. He couldn't stop blowing, but he had to pinch it while blowing. The big cock came out.The technique of blowing sugar in the south pays attention to color. The crest of the rooster is festive bright red, the emerald green wings are raised high, and the orange tail is raised. It is bright and beautiful, and all the children around cheer for a while.

There was a child who was pestering his adult to buy it. The adult didn’t want to buy it, so the child started to cry. When the adult fulfilled the child’s wish, the child burst into tears and left with the candy figurine in his arms.

"Do you want to eat this?" Shen Qing turned his head to look at Xuan Shen, although he said that there are not many adult men who like candy, but Xuan Shen's hobby has always been unusual, maybe he really likes it.

Xuan Shen has always been curious about things he has never eaten, and Xuan Shen subconsciously knows that he didn't have these things in his childhood.It's just that the people around the candy blowing booth are all yellow-haired children, and Xuan Shen is old enough to be their father... It's really embarrassing.

Xuan Shen was still hesitating, Shen Qing had already squeezed into the middle of a group of little dolls, and when the children saw an adult suddenly appearing beside them, they all raised their heads to look at him curiously.

The sugar blower also saw Shen Qing, and said with a smile: "The small one is ten renminbi each, and the big one is twenty renminbi, buy two and get one free! It's no good that you don't want money! Senior officials, please come and see me as a sugar man Eh."

That sugar blower came from another place, he didn't know who Shen Qing was, but he had good eyesight when he traveled all over the world, he saw that Shen Qing was dressed like a wealthy family, so he thought he was the young master of some family, and opened his mouth to call him a senior official.

Shen Qing chatted with the Sugar Blower.

"The craftsmanship of the master is good."

The Sugar Blower is happy, he is most proud of his craftsmanship: "Old man, I have traveled all over the world, and this craftsmanship has always been the best, and no one does not praise it!"

Hearing what he said, Shen Qing asked again: "Master is very knowledgeable, it seems that he has been to many places, why did he come to Qingzhou?" The bustling atmosphere of the market is not fake, there are indeed many foreigners.

"Qingzhou is a great place!" The sugar blowing master didn't slacken his hands, and a delicate red gourd appeared in his hand in a blink of an eye. Good official, the general's mansion is benevolent, the common people here have food to eat, so they just came here. People, don't they just earn a living. Anyway, I have traveled all over the world, and I have crossed more bridges than others. If Qingzhou is not good, so I will leave."

"Master, do you think this Qingzhou is okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

The sugar blower handed the red gourds to the children, and after collecting the money, he picked up a sweat towel and wiped his sweat, and continued: "The world is bad, life is hard everywhere, Qingzhou people are not bad, children are a little I used pocket money to buy this food, I’ve been to some places, and the kid stared at me, drooling, and my parents were reluctant to part with a single coin.”

"Hehe, yeah."

"That's right! After I arrived here in Qingzhou, the business was pretty good. It was a little deserted a few days ago, but it's getting better these days."

The sugar blower stared at Shen Qing, Xuan Shen fell behind Shen Qing, with half of his face exposed.The master only saw that half of the face, thought it was a tall and pretty girl, and said with a smile: "The official brought his wife here to buy sugar figurines."

Shen Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly, he turned sideways, and the master saw clearly that it was a man, so he knew that he had said something wrong, and quickly apologized, for fear of offending the young master of a rich family.

Fortunately, Shen Qing was easy to talk and didn't care about it, but Xuan Shen felt awkward when he heard this, his neck turned red, but it was covered by his clothes so that no one could see it.

"Master, this is my brother. You are old, so watch carefully."

The sugar blower said embarrassingly: "Little brother is good-looking, but my old man is dim-sighted. Don't blame me, senior officials."

"It's all right. I have two children, one big and one small, and the master will make some sugar figurines for me so that I can take them home and give them something new."

"Okay, let the senior officials see what suits you want, and I will quickly make the small ones for you." The sugar blower picked up the tools and waited for Shen Qing to order.

Shen Qing turned to look at Xuan Shen, asking for his opinion.

Xuan Shen leaned over, pointed to the big rooster and the cute and petite white rabbit beside him, and said, "Both should be fatter."

Be fatter... This requires the sugar blower to listen less, but the master has experienced many battles, so it will not delay his effort.

Seeing that there were more and more children surrounding the stall, Shen Qing squeezed Xuan Shen, who was dangling his arms, into a corner, and simply bought all the ready-made products on the stall with a big hand, and distributed them to these children. The master was so happy, as expected He is a high official, rich and generous!

The children got sugar figurines, and they all shouted thank you madam sweetly, and then spread out, and the stall immediately became refreshed.

The old master was in a trance and heard calling his wife, but the two men in front of him, who is his wife?He thought he had heard it wrong, and said to Shen Qing: "The senior official is the big customer of my small stall today, if you don't dislike the villain, the senior official can add a few more suits at will, no matter how troublesome, the small ones will be careful Get it for you carefully."

"Can you do it all?"

"Yes, yes!" The sugar blower handed the completed sugar figure to Xuan Shen, patted his chest again and said, "Don't worry about the old man's craftsmanship, even if you make it like someone else, you can still make a lifelike one." Sugar molded."

"That's all right, master, you just get one like my little brother." Shen Qing jokingly pointed at Xuan Shen who was holding a big rooster that was several times fatter.

The sugar blowing master was taken aback for a moment, and then cheered: "Okay, old man, I will do it right away, and I will definitely give you a vivid sugar figurine!"

The master's craftsmanship is indeed exquisite, Xuan Shen is holding several strings in one hand, the most conspicuous one is the string of sugar figurines blown out by Yi Xuanshen, which looks like a miniature version of Xuan Shen.

Shen Qing was curious and asked the master to make it like that casually, but he didn't expect the result to be really good.

The master is free among the people.Shen Qing thought so.

"That really looks like you, the master is skillful."

Xuan Shen held up a handful of candies and remained silent.

Shen Qing may have pointed at Xuan Shen casually, but because of this, something different may have occurred in Xuan Shen's heart.

Xuan Shen raised his head and looked at Shen Qing's side face, he always had a warm and spring-like smile on his face.The white jade hairpin is tied with blue silk, and the peach blossom eyes are shining brightly.Always gentle and unaware, always disturbing.

"Hey, be careful..." Shen Qing grabbed Xuan Shen, Xuan Shen came back to his senses, it turned out that he was distracted for a moment and almost bumped into a tree stump.

"What are you thinking, you can't even see such a big tree?" Shen Qing laughed at Xuan Shen.

Xuan Shen looked at Shen Qing's smile like a spring breeze, as if he was drunk.

"Shen Qing..."

"Ok??"

Xuan Shen may not know what he is thinking, but he knows that he is unwilling to call out the word madam.

Falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, while flowing water has no intention of falling in love with falling flowers.
