Go back to ancient times and marry a widow

Qi Wensheng walked the mountain road for more than an hour, and when he came to Donglin Town, the street market was full of excitement.

The doors of the shops are open, and pedestrians of all colors come and go. The vegetable stalls, meat stalls, and noodle stalls on the street... are next to each other, coupled with the clear and crisp cries of the hawkers, so that Qi Wensheng deeply understands the appearance of the ancient market. .

His legs, which were a little weak all the way, suddenly felt relaxed again at this moment, and his spirits were lifted accordingly. Qi Wensheng had a hunch that his business would be very good here.

"Steamed buns, big white steamed buns, steamed buns out of the cage—"

"Eat sesame seed cakes, crispy, crispy and fragrant big sesame seed cakes——"

"Give me two steamed buns." "I want three."

"okay!"

"How do you sell sesame seed cakes?"

"Two cents a piece, it's out of the oven."

Qi Wensheng took a few glances at the noodle hawkers, and saw that their business was booming, and the hawkers' yelling was indeed able to attract business.So, should he also...

"Milk...um...steam cake..."

Qi Wensheng carried a shoulder pole, slowed down, and walked in the middle of the road. As the sound came out, two suspicious red marks appeared on his face.

"Milk... steamed... cake..."

Not to mention other people, even Qi Wensheng himself could hardly hear his two shouts, or it would be more appropriate to say they were muttering.

"Steamed milk cake... come and buy it..."

Qi Wensheng raised the volume, but the words were still quickly drowned out in the noisy environment, let alone someone came to ask him what kind of food they were selling.

This is not acceptable!Qi Wensheng's hands holding the shoulder pole were wet, and he thought to himself that if he couldn't bear it, then wouldn't he be crippled when he just took the first step in starting a business.

Qi Wensheng dodged an oncoming sedan chair, and it happened that the place where he was standing was a clean open space, next to a noodle soup stall with a good business.

Seeing the middle-aged man setting up the stall, while wiping the table, he was also attracting customers to the energetic people on the street.Qi Wensheng cheered himself up in his heart: Come on, yell!I can't bear face, I can't attract people!

"Steamed milk cake! Fresh and novel, absolutely delicious steamed milk cake—" Qi Wensheng yelled out this sentence with all his might, and before the end of the drawn-out sound fell, many people who came and went looked in his direction come over.

Qi Wensheng unloaded the pole from his shoulders, placed the two baskets in front of him, and with the first yell out, the rest went much smoother.

"Steamed milk cake! Fresh and novel steamed milk cake, sweet and soft steamed milk cake——"

"What steamed cake? Let me see."

"I've never heard of it, what kind of food is this?"

Curious people gathered around in groups. Qi Wensheng opened the lid of one of the baskets, and then lifted the white cloth towel on the upper layer. When more than a dozen neatly stacked steamed cakes appeared, they brought out an appetizing atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, of course, someone asked how it was sold, and Qi Wensheng said with a smile on his face: "One for three pennies."

He had been deliberating on this price for a long time. Here, one penny can buy a big steamed bun, and his steamed cake is more than half the size of the steamed bun. Qi Wensheng hesitated between two penny and three penny.

"Young man, I want to try one first." An old woman leading a child said first.

Qi Wensheng had thought that there might be such a scene, and there were quite a few people who saw him, but most of them were still unwilling to come up and spend the price of three steamed buns to buy such a steamed cake that they had never heard of or seen before. .

But it doesn't matter, Qi Wensheng knew it well, he grabbed a piece of steamed cake with a piece of oil paper, and handed it to the little boy who was staring at his basket and licking his lips.

Under the waiting and curious eyes of everyone, the little boy impatiently held the steamed cake to his mouth with both hands, bit it down, and nodded with a smile after chewing twice: "Mmm, it's delicious."

Qi Wensheng smiled back at the little boy who still had steamed cake scum on the corner of his mouth, and felt relieved.

After that, it was Qi Wensheng's favorite scene, people you buy one, I buy two to try something new, some people, like the little boy, gave good comments after eating on the spot.

Qi Wensheng was busy collecting copper coins and taking steamed cakes, thinking that he was so beautiful that he finally priced the steamed cakes at three Wen, but it was not wrong. He said that Donglin Town is a rich place, and people have a certain level of consumption.

Besides, his steamed cakes are expensive, and what he sells are pastries, which are different from steamed buns and sesame cakes.

In a short time, one basket was empty, and the other was almost bottomed out. Qi Wensheng felt the weight in his arms getting heavier and heavier, and his face was as happy as flowers blooming.

After receiving the three copper coins sold for the last steamed milk cake, Qi Wensheng looked at the two empty baskets, and even had the feeling that he was not dreaming.Fortunately, it was also his empty stomach that told him that you were not dreaming, because a series of sounds came from his stomach at the right time.

Qi Wensheng simply went to the nearby soup noodle stall and ordered a bowl of noodles. During the time of eating noodles, the bustle of the market gradually subsided.

Qi Wensheng thought it was a good time for him to catch up, but just looking at the sun at this moment, he would have to go back to the village after noon.

Before Qi Wensheng came out, he had prepared breakfast for Mrs. Liu, thinking that it would be too late for him to cook again when he went back, and the business this morning was off to a good start, so he generously bought some pasta and cooked meat, and went home with a pole went.

When it was close to noon, Qi Wensheng had just walked halfway, but at the entrance of Dongyu Village, someone was already looking in the direction of his return.

"Qiuxi, what are you doing here?"

"Well, ma'am, I... I'm fine for a stroll." Qiuxi rarely spoke to his heart, and he took a few steps forward after speaking, but he himself could feel how much he had taken these few steps unnatural.

After returning to the thatched cottage this morning, it took a long time for Qiuxi's floating mood to calm down. He didn't know why Qi Wensheng acted like that towards him, and he didn't dare to guess whether Qi Wensheng meant that he liked him a little bit.

Qiuxi has never experienced some emotions before. He doesn't know what it is like to express liking someone, is it just like him, thinking of Qi Wensheng going out of the village to sell pastries, he always thinks about it.

For a while, I wondered whether Qi Wensheng's business would be easy to do, and for a while, I was worried whether he would encounter any difficulties or troubles.

This morning Qiuxi was rarely absent-minded when doing anything. Later, he saw that it was almost time. After feeding Douer, he took Douer down the mountain again.

After talking with the aunt just now, Qiuxi waited for almost half an hour. Douer woke up from a long sleep in his arms. Qiuxi saw that the mountain road leading to the town was still silent. .

For the first time, Qiuxi had experienced the feeling of longing for nothing. At this time, the sun turned, and he found a shady place by the earth wall to stay.When she looked up into the distance again, Qiuxi's listless face immediately turned into a happy brow.

I saw a man walking on the mountain road carrying a basket. Although he still couldn't see his appearance clearly, Qiu Xi remembered the brown clothes.In fact, there is also the posture of that person when he walks, with his head held high, Qiuxi knows who it is without looking at his face.

As Qi Wensheng gradually approached, Qiuxi still felt a little nervous. He stood by the earthen wall until he saw Qi Wensheng walking by a distance of one foot away from him. His throat was hot and he shouted. The sound lingered there.

Dou'er also saw Qi Wensheng, and happily kicked his short legs twice in Qiuxi's arms, and called Qi Wensheng "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee" in his mouth, much more daring than Qiuxi.

Qi Wensheng turned his head in an instant, seeing Qiuxi looking at him with a shy smile and Douer anxiously stretching out his small arms to find him, Qi Wensheng almost heard the sound of happiness knocking on the door.

Qiuxi didn't feel shy anymore, and walked towards Qi Wensheng with Douer in her arms. When Qi Wensheng looked back at him and Douer just now, the sudden joy made Qiuxi feel that no matter how long he waited, it was worth it.

As soon as Qi Wensheng put down the basket, Qiu Xi asked him with concern: "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." After Qi Wensheng finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the dream a few days ago.

"Drink some water first."

Looking at the bamboo tube that Qiuxi handed over, Qi Wensheng felt extremely beautiful in his heart, and looking at Qiuxi's obedient appearance at this time, isn't this the virtuous wife in his dream.

Qi Wensheng felt itchy for a moment, and when he was holding the bamboo tube, he deliberately stroked Qiuxi's fingers slowly with the palm of his hand.

This was much stronger than the last time Qi Wensheng touched his hand unintentionally. Qiuxi's back was covered with a layer of moisture, and when he met Qi Wensheng's eyes with a bit of a wicked smile, he Hastily looked away.

Qi Wensheng was quite content with getting some small sweets. He opened the lid of the bamboo tube and raised his head to drink water, but under the drooping eyelids, he kept watching Qiuxi closely.

The sweet mountain spring slid down his throat, quenching his thirst and refreshing his heart. Qi Wensheng felt that being able to get Qiuxi's favor was even more joyful than when he sold out the steamed milk cakes at that time.

Seeing that Qiuxi's lips were a little dry, Qi Wensheng handed Qiuxi the remaining half of the water in the bamboo tube, "Drink some, too, the weather is so hot, don't suffer from heatstroke."

"Yeah." Qiuxi was thirsty for a long time, and when Qi Wensheng was there, he would not even want to drink this mountain spring water.

Qi Wensheng hugged Dou'er and coaxed him, Qiuxi was still a little embarrassed, he turned sideways, put the bamboo tube to his mouth, and sipped water in small sips.Thinking that he and Qi Wensheng shared a bamboo tube, Qiu Xi's cheeks burned again.

Seeing that Qiuxi was about to put the lid on the bamboo tube after only two sips of water, Qi Wensheng hurriedly said, "You don't want to drink anymore? Then give it back to me."

"En." Qiuxi opened the lid again, and when she was about to pass the bamboo tube to Qi Wensheng, she saw Qi Wensheng stretched his head towards him.

"It's inconvenient for me to hold Douer, you can feed me." Qi Wensheng was cheeky and created every opportunity to get close to Qiuxi.

Qiuxi subconsciously looked to both sides, and clearly felt that Qi Wensheng did it on purpose, but he was also very willing to hand the bamboo tube to Qi Wensheng's mouth.

Qi Wensheng really likes how obedient Qiu Xi is. He had just taken a sip of water when he heard a disturbing voice behind him: "Hey! What are you two doing!"

"Cough-cough-cough-"

Hemp egg!

Qi Wensheng turned his head and glared angrily at this wicked, smoking guy.
