From farming to business

When the sky was getting dark, the lanterns on the street were gradually lit up, one after another spread to the distance, and the moon that could illuminate the night road in the village lost its brilliance.

The passing man carried bright red candied gourds on his shoulders, and each was full of glistening syrup, which immediately attracted Chang Le's attention.

After calling the person to stop, he first glanced at the two people who were watching something in front of a stall a few steps away, curled their lips and thought that there should be nothing to worry about, then turned to look at Shuang'er who was waiting obediently, and said: " Do you eat candied haws?"

Su Cao glanced at the red fruit, shook her head at him, the family never gave him any pocket money, he is penniless now, just watch the excitement.

"Give me the two biggest ones." Chang Le's inquiry was obviously just lip service, and while he shook his head, he stuffed the money and instructed the man to pick out two.

Su Cao opened his mouth and before he could speak, a string of candied haws appeared in his hand, and the sweet smell of syrup entered his nose.

"Small...Brother Yu always said that these small snacks are only eaten by children. I think he doesn't understand the delicacy at all." Chang Le opened his mouth and took a fruit into his mouth, stuffing his cheeks bulging.

His attitude was so natural that Su Cao couldn't return the candied haws in her hand, so she continued to hold the stick tightly.

Chang Le swallowed one fruit, and saw that he hadn't moved his mouth when he bit the second one, so he said, "Why don't you eat it? Don't you think it's childish to eat this stuff?"

"No." Su Cao shook her head hurriedly, paused when the other party narrowed her eyes in disbelief, and finally bit off the top half, the sweet and sour taste immediately spread in her mouth.

"That's right. When you come out to play, you have to eat, drink, and have fun." Chang Le smiled, bit another fruit and turned to look for the other two people.

Yu Feng was holding a mask in his hand and putting it in front of his face. The appearance of the chubby little doll made him look a little funny, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw the person in front of him through the eye holes.

The corners of the mouth hidden behind the mask raised an arc, and he reached out from the stall to pick up another doll's mask and compared it in front of Shuang'er, saying: "I just made a pair."

After the line of sight was covered, she could only see the other party through the small eye hole. Before Su Yongyue could react, the indecent words came into her ears, and she pushed the man's hand in embarrassment, and pushed the mask away from her. .

Yu Feng smiled and put down the two doll masks, raised his chin behind him and said, "Do you want candied haws?"

For some unknown reason, she followed his gaze and turned her head to look over. Chang Le was gnawing on a pleasing fruit to meet him, and Su Cao was also holding a bunch of fruits and followed him one step away.

"These things are not new and interesting. I'm hungry, let's go find something to eat." Chang Le stopped by the side of the stall, glanced at the miscellaneous gadgets on it, and was not very interested.

The peddler standing behind the stall glanced at him unhappily, these little things, young ladies and gentlemen, really like them, what's not so good about them!

Yu Feng laughed and scolded him as a foodie, even candied gourds couldn't stop his mouth, and he was refuted by the other party.

The look of sugar residue on the corner of his mouth was stupid, but his words made sense, so he waved his hand and led a few people away. At this time, it was time for dinner, and there was a street in front that was dedicated to selling food. , there are all kinds of things.

Even in the night, the brightly lit streets are extremely bright. Some children are still holding exquisite lanterns in their hands, bouncing around with their parents, and their faces are full of joy.

"Cousin." Seeing this scene, Su Cao called out to the people around her, and when the other person turned their heads to look over, she said, "You and I should be like this back then..."

Su Yongyue glanced at the child passing by, recalled the scene at that time in a trance, and nodded with a smile on his face.

"It's better to be more happy then..." Turning her head to see the small figure disappearing into the crowd, Su Cao retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes slightly.

Children are always very easy to be satisfied, maybe it is a beautiful lantern, or maybe it is a string of sweet candied haws, the big troubles will be forgotten the next day, and a lot of worries will be reduced.

Hearing this, Su Yongyue retracted the curvature of the corners of her lips, knowing that he was thinking of recent events, reached out to hold his hand, and patted it silently.

Su Cao was brought back to her thoughts by his touch, and smiled as if returning to her senses. Not wanting to spoil their mood, she took a bite of the candied haws and said, "It's so sweet."

Yu Feng walked on the other side of Su Yongyue, and he didn't hear his words at all, the knot in his heart was not so easy to untie, he could only adjust it by himself.

Chang Le, who was one step behind them by mistake, shook the sticks of candied haws that had been gnawed clean in his hand, suddenly widened his eyes and pointed to the front, strode past them and ran to the front, "I want to eat the wontons from that store!"

His bluffing voice broke the slightly silent atmosphere, and the few people turned their attention to the wonton stand not far away, shaking their heads with a smile.

The business of the wonton stall was good, and they couldn't find any vacant seats for a while. Fortunately, some of them were almost finished eating, so they could be seated after a while.

While waiting for the seat, Chang Le went to the stall next door to buy meatloaf. The aroma was very strong just out of the pan, and when it got into his nose, he felt hungry instantly.

The meatloaf is not too big, only the size of a palm, but the ingredients are very honest. One bite is full of fragrant, fat and thin meat fillings, which is very satisfying.

In today's bustling scene, most people were in a hurry to visit the market, and they didn't stay long after filling their stomachs. They got up and left quickly. They didn't wait for a long time.

Although it is wonton in clear soup, the taste is very good. It just relieves the greasy meat pie just now, and the warm bowl warms up the stomach.

For the sake of the guests behind, they also didn't stop too much. After eating the wontons, they got up and moved out of their seats. Before leaving, the busy boss said enthusiastically and walked slowly.

The warm yellow light of the lanterns made everyone look warmer and gentler. Although the various sounds heard in the ears were a bit noisy, they were all the breath of life, full of the taste of the world of mortals.

"Although it's not as prosperous and grand as the lantern festival in the capital city, it still feels lively." Chang Le just ate two bowls of wontons, and now his stomach is full and hot, and he is even in a good mood.

Su Cao, who was turning her head to look at the roadside lanterns, heard the words and said, "Brother Chang Le, have you ever been to the capital?"

After being asked by him like this, Chang Le realized that the young master did not want him to reveal the affairs of the capital, so he glanced at him with a little guilt, and said with a dry smile: "I have been there once by luck, I have been there once."

Su Cao nodded, with a little envy on her face, "It is said that the capital is full of high-ranking officials and nobles, and it is very prosperous. It must be different from this small town."

That is naturally different, it can be called the difference between clouds and mud, Chang Le thought in his heart, and then glanced at someone, but there is someone who is willing to stay in this poor countryside and is unwilling to go back to have a good life.

With that kind of gaze, you don't need to guess what Yu Feng is thinking, and you only look away from him for a moment, plainness is the most rare thing.

A burst of cheers suddenly sounded in front of them, interrupting the continuation of the topic, and a burst of fire lit up in the crowd, causing another burst of exclamation.

Chang Le, who loves to join in the fun, tiptoed to take a look. He was extremely curious about the scene covered by the crowd, so he trotted over immediately.

Watching him walk away, both eyes fell on Yu Feng, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

In the surrounded area, someone was playing fire-breathing tricks. The man was bare-chested and splashed some of the wine he had just spouted, sparkling faintly under the light of the lantern.

The other party took another sip of wine and was about to vomit, but Su Yongyue's eyes went dark when he was concentrating on it, and exclamations sounded in his ears, but he didn't see anything.

The corner of his mouth curled up unhappily, and he raised his hand and pressed it on the hand covering his eyes to push it away, but the other hand put his shoulder on his shoulder and pulled it back. The side is also getting hot...

"Yongyue, don't stare at other men..." Yu Feng whispered in his ear, feeling Shuang'er pressing his hand, and said: "I will be jealous."

The warm breath sprayed on Su Yongyue's earlobe, making his entire ear flushed, and he turned his face to avoid it, but the hand covering him did not relax, so he could only maintain such an intimate movement.

The unmarried Su Cao was a little embarrassed to see the man shirtless, she looked away after watching him spray fire once, and inadvertently saw the two people around him paused, and looked away uncomfortably. I don't know where to put the flickering ones.

On the contrary, Chang Le softly "tsk tsk" when he saw it, and condemned his young master's "evil behavior" of eating tofu indiscriminately, and made a single boy like him envious, it was simply hateful.

Su Yongyue's face was still flushed when they left from the crowd of jugglers. Fortunately, the light reflected by the lanterns was not obvious.

After walking a few steps, Chang Le saw the lantern riddles guessing booth in front of him, and turned his head excitedly, "Brother Yu, there are lantern riddles over there!"

lantern riddles?Yu Feng's heart skipped a beat, remembering that the other party mentioned to him last time that Yu Fengyan was the best at guessing lantern riddles, and he would carry a lot of lanterns home every now and then.

It's a pity that he doesn't have that kind of literary talent. When he was bored in the army, he never got the riddles played by his comrades right, so he will definitely not do such embarrassing things.

He coughed lightly, and was about to be fooled back, but his eyes suddenly paused, and then his eyes lit up, and said: "What's the meaning of lantern riddles, why don't we go archery."

Chang Le, who was already planning to go to the lantern riddle stand, stopped when he heard the words, and looked in the direction where his chin was lightly raised, and indeed found the archery stand diagonally opposite.

There is a small wooden sign at the back of the booth, with different numbers engraved on it, as long as it can be shot down with a soft-tipped arrow, it will be counted as equal points, and can be exchanged for various styles of lanterns.

Seeing Yu Feng paid the money to take ten arrows from the stall owner, Chang Le was confused, "Brother Yu, are you sure you want to play with this?"

Previously, the young master was in poor health, so it could be said that he was powerless. He never did such things related to martial arts.

Although after finding the other party again, his body is much stronger, and he can walk freely in the mountains and forests, but shooting a slingshot is different from archery. Can this accuracy still work? Don't lose face in front of Su Xiaogeer.

Yu Feng put the arrow on the table in front of him, and pulled the bow in his hand to test the strength. Although he has never played with this thing, he has played with it, and they should all be connected.

He was considered a sharpshooter at any rate before, and he was almost born with the advantage of being accurate. It should be enough to play this kind of small game, at least he is more confident than guessing lantern riddles.

Ignoring Chang Le who questioned him, he turned his head to look at Su Yongyue who was standing beside him, with a smile on his lips, "Let's see which lamp you like first, and I will change it back for you later."
