It was evening when they went out.

A large piece of rose-gold sunset glow covers the entire sky, and people can see dazzling and beautiful clouds as soon as they look up.

The afterglow of the setting sun lightly falls on the streets and alleys of Yunzhou, and the fine halo depicts the beautiful scenery of the entire Yunzhou city.

Su Yan sat on the swaying carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, which are well arranged.Pedestrians come and go on the street in an endless stream.

You can vaguely see the Xiangjiang River farther away, where the water and the sky meet, the river surrounds the sunset, and the sunset is reflected in the water.Merchant ships on the river are moving slowly, like thick ink dots in a light ink painting in a vast expanse of whiteness.

Cooking smoke curls up, and the lanterns come on.

Colorful lights, heavy traffic.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and they came to Taiping Street, a famous night market street in Yunzhou City. The whole street was illuminated by the dots of lights.

The three of Su Yan got out of the carriage and began to visit the night market on foot.

At this time, all kinds of stalls have been set up in the streets and alleys, and lanterns are hung everywhere. Small vendors are hawking with local accents, pointing out the characteristics of the food with concise slogans, or using catchy The ballad attracts attention.

"Stinky tofu! Spicy and delicious stinky tofu! It smells stinky but tastes delicious!"

"Sugar Oil Baba! Moon Baba, there is a daddy in his belly, daddy goes out to buy vegetables, and a grandma in his stomach, and grandma comes out to embroider flowers, embroider a rice cake..."

"Linglong Little Wonton! Red Oil Chow Shou! It doesn't taste good and you don't need money!"

"White and plump dumplings! Big and full of stuffing!"

"Dalang sesame seed cake! Ten years old taste! Try the crispy sesame seed cake!"

......

Not only the local delicacies of Yunzhou, but also the special snacks from all over the world can be found here.

The yelling of you coming and going is intertwined, the small vendors selling food are steaming, and the guests waiting for the owner to cook the food are full of smiles.

The scents from various food stalls also wafted faintly into people's nostrils, hooking all the gluttons in people's stomachs.

Of course, night markets are more than just food stalls.

Su Yan walked along this street all the way, only to feel that there are so many products that his eyes can't see them.

Look at those molasses pastries, exquisite, lovely, sweet and attractive; there are also new fruits at this time, fresh and diverse, I don’t know where they were picked; there are also many customers in front of the fish, fresh, pork, and mutton knuckle stalls. The knife falls, mincing the minced meat that the guests need.

There are all kinds of finely painted silk fans, fine-colored paper fans, dust-leaking fan handles, and flower fans of different colors in front of the stalls specializing in selling fans, and the prices are not expensive; vendors selling clothes and accessories are selling their own. There are gold dresses, satin vests, satin children, gold hats and so on in the store.

There are also four-season toys and sand plays that attract children who can't walk. Parents have no choice but to buy these toys out of their pockets; plus spring and winter sales, all products are available.

Good guy, the prosperity of the night market in Yunzhou City is astounding.

Su Yan concluded secretly in his heart that agricultural and sideline products, handicrafts, daily necessities, pastries, etc. are all complete.

Of course, he also gained a lot, it can be said that he ate it all the way!

This smelly and delicious stinky tofu tastes really good.Red peppers are piled on top of the black stinky tofu, a bite reveals the white tofu filling inside.The outer skin is crispy and spicy, but the inner tofu is soft and tender. Two different tastes are intertwined in the mouth. One word - cool!

The golden yellow sugar oil cake is covered with syrup on both sides, it tastes sweet, soft and waxy.Su Yan was sitting on the table of the stall eating the sugar and oil cake, while watching the stall owner making the snack.

This is a small stall run by a middle-aged couple. Su Yan listened to their conversations with regular customers. It seems that this stall has been open for many years.

The husband and wife work together in a division of labor, and the man is responsible for kneading and kneading the dough, and then dividing the dough into small balls and flattening them into cakes.The woman is responsible for frying the glutinous rice cakes until golden on both sides, and then boils thick syrup in another pot.Put the fried glutinous rice cakes into the syrup and roll them until they become shiny and oily, and they become sugar oil cakes.

There is also the fragrant and delicious glutinous rice chicken, which is folded into a triangular bucket shape with Polygonum leaves. When the Polygonum leaves are lifted, the white glutinous rice inside is revealed. The glutinous rice is also mixed with other ingredients such as mung beans, red beans, lotus kernels, and chicken.

There are also crispy yellow fried dough sticks, fried pancakes that are burnt on the outside and tender inside, crystal clear wontons...

Su Yan walked all the way to the end of the street, only to feel that he was too full to walk.

The food on the street vendors in this night market is not as carefully crafted as the dishes of big restaurants such as "Wankelai" and "Zuixiaolou". In the warm feeling, it makes people feel inexplicably peaceful and happy, and even a little moved.

Food in all directions is nothing more than a bowl of human fireworks.

The fireworks in the world touch the hearts of mortals.

***

The next day was a cloudless and crisp autumn day.

The autumn sun sprinkled a piece of golden light, falling on the eaves and corners of Songzhuzhai, outlining a shallow soft halo.

As soon as the auspicious time comes, there will be a "crackling" sound of fire-burning bamboo at the door of Songzhuzhai.

This bustling noise is telling the pedestrians and neighbors coming and going that a new store has opened!Do not miss passing through!

The two life-size portraits drawn by Su Yan yesterday have been placed at the entrance of Songzhu Zhai to attract the attention of the crowd.

The large colorful picture really attracted many pedestrians to stop and watch, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Oh! You look at the girl in this painting, she is really a fairy, it's rare to see!" Someone praised.

"Extremely! Extremly!" The onlookers nodded in agreement.

"I don't know who drew it? It's so lifelike, with fairy sleeves fluttering!" Someone pointed to the belt on the picture of the beautiful girl and praised, the belt was flexible and elegant, as if being blown by the wind.

"Pleasant eyes are beautiful women, and the beauty of the country is the beauty of the city!" A scholar couldn't help murmuring.

"Hahaha! Brother Xu! Your eyes are going to stick to it!" Someone teased his companion.

"Don't make fun of me! Ask yourself, can you fall in love with such a beautiful girl?!" The man stared at the portrait intently and retorted.

"All right, all right! My heart is moving! Come on, let's go in and have a look, and see what else is good about this Songzhuzhai!"

"exactly!"

"Go to this Songzhuzhai shop to have a look!"

Many people walked into the shop of Songzhuzhai and asked what the portrait at the door of the shop waiter was about and who painted it. They didn't know that there was such a powerful painter in Yunzhou City.

"Returning to the young masters, the portrait is a character in the new story book "Pretty Woman in the Wind and Moon" written by Mr. Shiwai Sanren. The artist is a recluse specially hired by Songzhuzhai, so I'm sorry for not revealing it." The shop boy said mysteriously.

In fact, it was Su Yan who didn't want to lose his horse, so he asked the waiters in the shop to fool the image of a hermit if anyone asked.

"The story in the storybook of "Pretty Woman" is more vivid and interesting than this portrait! Mr. Shiwai Sanren's latest masterpiece is not to be missed! Young masters, do you want to take a copy back to read? Come here, please , this way, please!" The shop clerk relaxed their expressions, knowing that there was something to be done, so he graciously led them to the place where the story books were placed.

These storybooks are also placed in a unique artistic shape, either placed horizontally, or stood up, or opened the illustration pages, and placed together on a round wooden table, very eye-catching.

The waiters at Songzhuzhai have been trained long ago and have rich experience.They respectfully invite customers to enter the store, enthusiastically ask and guide them to find all kinds of books they want, and hint to customers that the new store will open today, and all books will have discounts, which is not such a good thing on weekdays up!Such a good opportunity, why don't you buy more and go back?

The guests were a little eager to move when they heard it, and thought to themselves: It's all discounted, it's such a good deal, it's better to buy it early and enjoy it earlier.

The waiter at the cash register is also quick-witted, quick-witted, and extremely fast in calculations.If you see that the customer needs to pay one or two more copper coins in the end, you will be very clever and say a few auspicious words, and erase the change to make up the whole.Although the amount is not large, it also makes the paying customers feel that they have earned it and feel happy.Of course, this is what Liu Kairui, the owner of Songzhuzhai, ordered them to do.

The quality of Songzhuzhai Bookstore's books is well controlled, the handwriting is printed very clearly, the typesetting is also very beautiful, the price is relatively affordable, and the price performance ratio is extremely high.The customers who came in finally gained something under the diligent sales of the waiter in the store.Come here, bring one or two books home, and enjoy the joy of the store's opening.

The shopkeepers of shops in the surrounding neighborhood that Liu Kairui met in Yunzhou these days also came to join in and sent valuable gifts to congratulate the opening of Songzhuzhai's new shop.

After all, well-informed store owners know that this Songzhuzhai is not some unknown small bookstore, but a large bookstore with branches in many cities.There is also gossip that the Liu family of Songzhuzhai has close contacts and relationships with high-ranking officials in the capital.

What's more, many shops have already started to use the new type of charcoal notebooks and account books first introduced from Yangzhou City. It is not only cheaper, but also much more convenient than using a brush in the past.

I heard that the charcoal pencil seems to have some relationship with Shochikuzhai.Look why among so many bookstores, only Songzhuzhai Bookstore sells this high-end charcoal pencil gift box.

Thinking of this, the smiles on the faces of all shopkeepers are more sincere and enthusiastic.

Liu Kairui thanked them one by one. He has been in the business world for many years. As a businessman, he is also good at dancing and slick.

Throughout the day, the shop of Songzhuzhai was full of people coming and going, and a lot of books of all kinds were sold out, so it can be said that the shop is open.The waiter also had a proud look on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Kairui was very relieved, and in the evening, he personally sent Su Yu and Su Yan back to Yunshan Academy, and went to discuss business with Mr. Shan Changanhe from Yunshan Academy.

Liu Kairui has always been very careful and appropriate in doing things.After hearing these thoughts from his little nephew Su Yan yesterday, he ordered his servants to post a request for a visit to Mr. Shan Chang'an and Mr. Yunshan Academy, politely and in detail explaining the purpose of his visit.He also sent many sets of books and stationery sets to the masters of Yunshan Academy in advance.

Seeing the battle, Su Yan couldn't help feeling that his little uncle was really careful and resolute!

After returning to Yunshan Academy, Su Yan said goodbye to his little uncle reluctantly.

Liu Kairui looked at him with a smile, and said: "When uncle and the head of the mountain negotiate a deal, it will be much easier for you to travel in the future. Whenever you want to come to Songzhuzhai, you can just take a carriage and the servants in the shop will recognize you. There are also rooms in the backyard for you two brothers, no one else is allowed to live in."

After hearing this, Su Yan felt warm in his heart, and nodded obediently.

Su Yu's cross-eyed eyes were slightly bent, and there was a bit of rambunctious interest in his voice: "That's right! Don't worry, if we have anything to do, we will directly trouble uncle, we will not be polite!"

"Yes! That's it!" Liu Kairui patted Su Yu's shoulder with a smile.

After all, he told Su Yu and Su Yan again as if he was worried, and asked them to take care of themselves, eat well, sleep well and keep a happy mood. If there is anything they need, they must write to themselves.

The only thing he didn't say was to ask them to concentrate on studying hard.

Su Yan looked at the back of the boy leading Liu Kairui to Shanchang's residence, and felt in his heart that the little uncle must be the children's favorite type of parent.

He remembered that in his father Su Yue's letter, there were still a few pages of letter paper to test his homework, so he had to go back and write it quickly.

Su Yan returned to the dormitory, and pretended to be nonchalant, and gave Song Zixiu the new storybook "Pretty Woman in the Wind and Moon" by the outsiders, saying that it was a gift brought back to his little uncle's bookstore after going down the mountain.He also prepared "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" for his junior brother Zhou Yunwen and Xie Linfeng.

Song Zixiu first took the storybook in doubt, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the name of the Sanren from the World, this is his old opponent.

His pair of single phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, my good fellow, when did the outsiders become so diligent? !In the past, the first volume was published in a very Buddhist way and the second volume never came out, making readers scream with love and hate.

Song Zixiu quickly flipped through the storybook and glanced at it. He was involuntarily attracted by the content, and a raging flame was ignited in his heart.

"Wait! I'm going to write the first volume of that academy story book in this ten days!" He took the story book aggressively and walked into his room, preparing to collect his inspirations these days and start writing that book. The text of the academy script.

After Su Yan finished urging the manuscript, he felt secretly refreshed.

That's great, it looks like there will be new chapters to read soon!

He also turned around and went into his own room, lit high-quality white wax, put it in an exquisite hollow candlestick, and began to write homework for his father Su Yue.

The bright candlelight in the room, accompanied by a very fine scent of white wax, lingered over Su Yan.

In an instant, Su Yan remembered the days when he was taught homework by his father Su Yue when he was young, and he was not allowed to eat if he couldn't finish memorizing.

At that time, he was still struggling to memorize the "Three Character Classic" which he didn't understand. If it wasn't for the golden finger of the red envelope system that suddenly appeared at that time, Li Bai sent him a red envelope that "I am born to be useful". He may not be able to pass the test yet.

Now, Su Yan is used to using the various scriptures he has learned, and he can write a beautiful and well-formatted essay at any time.

He couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Hey, why do I still have to rush homework for my dad in the middle of the night!

What Su Yu, Su Yan and the others didn't know was that little uncle Liu Kairui and Mr. Shan Chang Anhe were actually old acquaintances.

The author has something to say: Su Yan: I, doing my homework, is miserable!

Stupid author: I, added more, praise!

Brother Xian will appear in the next chapter!There must be a row!

"Moon Baba, there is a daddy in the belly, the daddy goes out to buy vegetables, and the grandma sits in the stomach, and the grandma comes out to embroider flowers, embroidering only Ciba..." comes from a Hunan folk song.

"Pleasing to the eye is a beautiful woman, and the beauty of the country and the city!" comes from the Internet.

"Water-cut eyes and dark red lips." From Qin Guan's "Nanxiangzi Miaohand Huizhen"

Fans, dust-leaking fan handles, shadow flower fans of different colors, golden skirts, satin vests, satin children, golden hats, happy towels, four-season toys, sand play children. In addition to spring and winter flutters, all products are available. "
