Feast of Rebirth

"My lord, this amount of money is nothing. Take a look at these golden eagle feathers. They are all plucked from live birds, and they have gone through thousands of selections. The cost alone accounts for more than half of the clothes, and the tailoring materials are all plucked. It’s the best, 30 taels is considered very cheap.”

Hu Yan's brains turned sharply, and he sneered: "Are golden eagles very rare? Not necessarily? It would be very expensive to pluck a few feathers from a live bird? Can a magician with some ability catch a group?" He grabbed the cloud Cong Feng's hand curled his lips, "Let's go, let's go, this dress is not worth it."

"Hey, hey." Yun Congfeng couldn't react in time, and was forcefully dragged away by Hu Yan, walking very fast, and walked away in a while.Yun Congfeng looked back, and the store's flamboyant banners were all gone.

"That one is really good." Yun Congfeng was a little embarrassed.As soon as they left like this, the guy couldn't help but say behind their backs that they were mean and stingy, just thinking about it gave a chill down the spine.

"It's just a piece of clothing? Do you think I will be short of this money?" Hu Yan raised an eyebrow: "I just don't want to change it."

Yun Congfeng didn't say anything more, and let him wander around.When he got bored of shopping, he bought a paperweight on the side of the street and put it on the table in his house to write a few words, but somehow he was not in the mood and always thought of that cloak.

It's really pretty.

Putting it on him, his face looks a bit round.Hu Yan's facial features are full of ostentatious vigor, but the cloak and hat are wrapped in white velvet, the lines are soft, gentle and quiet beauty.

Hu Yan has a high level of cultivation and is indeed not afraid of the heat, but he is always dressed like that, so it doesn't look good...

He still wanted to buy it, and he was not short of money, but it was the first time that such a large expense was for a piece of clothing, which made him feel a little pained.Whether he should buy it or not, the pen in his hand unconsciously drew circles, struggling for a long time.

"What are you thinking about?" Hu Yan's voice came abruptly. Yun Congfeng was taken aback, and immediately rolled up the scribbled paper and threw it away, "Thinking about nothing? It's been a day, why don't you rest early Bar?"

Hu Yan had no objection: "Okay, but aren't you going to read a book tonight?"

"Don't watch it, it's better to rest early, the sound of firecrackers in the morning will be noisy in a few days."

"Yes, then you should rest early, too?"

"Ah."

Hu Yan went to rest, Yun Congfeng sat for a while, got up and turned off the lamp, groped in the dark and went to bed to rest.Covering the quilt, I was still thinking about that dress, whether I should buy it or not.

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the last day of the market. After this day, the merchants were closed for the annual holiday, and they didn't reopen until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

When I thought of this, I didn't want to sleep, so I sat up suddenly and thought about it for a while, and struggled for a while: buy!

It was only 30 taels, which was a drop in the bucket compared to the money he had saved before. When would the money not be spent now?If you keep it, you won't make small money, so you can get a job after you come to Beijing.

He quickly ordered 30 taels, wrapped the package and put on his clothes before rushing out the door. 30 taels is not a small amount, it is heavy, and he was out of breath after running for a while with the money on his back. Fortunately, Qingping Division was close to the market, so he didn't have to run too far.

The market at night became more lively, with bright lights and crowds of people. Yun Congfeng was a little confused about the direction. After walking and stopping for a long time, he found the clothing store in the daytime. The lights were dim and the door was half closed. Sweeping the floor in the store, it seems to be about to close.

But the dress was gone.

Yun Congfeng's heart was beating extremely fast, he stepped into the store and looked around, the clothes were indeed gone and hadn't moved anywhere.

The sweeper straightened up: "Buy clothes? What kind of clothes?"

Yun Congfeng regained his composure, and pointed to the place where the cloak was hung during the day: "Did someone buy the cloak that hung there during the day?"

"Yes." The old man sweeping the floor pushed down his glasses, "Do you want to buy them?"

"Yes." Yun Congfeng's voice trembled, "Is there still stock?"

"There is a semi-finished product. Some parts are not finished well. It was about to be lost. If you pay for it, I can change it again, or?"

Yun Congfeng wanted to give up for a moment and let the tailor do it directly, or when the Chinese New Year was about to come, he could figure out with his toes that it would cost a lot of money.

does it worth?

"Do you want to do it?" The old man asked again, "Why don't you buy it during the day, do you want to give it away?"

"Yes." Yun Congfeng pulled back his thoughts all of a sudden, still hesitating, "This... how many days will it take to change it?"

The old man patted his waist pocket, as if he wanted to find a cigarette pipe, but he couldn't find it, and lowered his hand regretfully, "It's a small problem, it will take three or four days to fix it? Are you in a hurry?"

"No hurry." Yun Congfeng's tangled expression fell into the eyes of the old man, "Is it for the girl you like?" The old man laughed, his eyebrows furrowed.

When he said this, Yun Congfeng immediately became embarrassed: "It's not...it's..."

"If you have money, buy it to make her happy." The old man looked clear, "Whether you bring money to life or not, happiness is the most important thing."

Yun Congfeng thought to himself that you are actually making this money, right?But he can really earn this money now: "How much does it cost?"

The old man habitually made a gesture of holding the pipe, and put it down after reacting: "Fifty."

……Depend on.

The old man went on to say: "Fifty is not a loss, I promise to help you change it beautifully. How do you compare with other people's bodies? Help you cut the size and ensure that people dress smartly and beautifully, and the people you like are happy." , how much money is worth it."

Yun Congfeng gritted his teeth: "Okay, I have 30 taels here, just treat it as a deposit, and the other [-] taels will be given to you after the completion."

The old man smiled and nodded straight: "Sure! Four days... Hey, five days, I will open the door at noon after five days, and you come to get things."

Yun Congfeng felt pain again: "Okay."

"How tall is he? Is he fat or thin?"

Yun Congfeng didn't pay much attention to how tall and thin Hu Yan was. Now that the old man asked, he was tongue-tied and gestured for a long time.

On the way back, the money on my back was gone, relaxed and heavy.After being blown by the cold wind, Yun Congfeng seemed to calm down: the clothes look good, but he thinks they look good, so what about Hu Yan himself?He doesn't seem to have made it clear that he likes that dress, so even if he bought it, it might not really make him happy?

Yun Congfeng was in a mess of thoughts, and when he walked to the door of Qingpingsi, he sighed: Come on, I paid all the money, and it would be too stingy to go back on it.What's more, sending it out to control Gao's displeasure is all a wish, isn't it?Hey, something seems wrong...

"you're back?"

Yun Congfeng yelled in fright. When he came back to his senses, he saw Hu Yan leaning against the door, as if melting into the darkness, and then he revealed his figure with a voice: "Where did you go?"

"I'm hungry, let's have a late-night snack." Yun Congfeng didn't blink his eyes when he lied.

"There are noodles and eggs in the room." Hu Yan seemed to snort, "It's not like you don't know how expensive the supper is, why are you suddenly so willing today?"

"I want to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cakes."

Hu Yan smiled: "Come on, come in, it's cold outside."

Yun Congfeng ran outside for half an hour, didn't feel cold, and was still sweating a little on his back. In order not to show his secrets in front of Hu Yan, he wrapped his clothes tightly until he entered the house and Hu Yan left. When I took it off, all the entangled thoughts were gone at this time, and I was full of the secret excitement of creating a surprise, so that I tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep after going to bed.

The five days became unbearable under anticipation, Yun Congfeng had no books to read, so he began to repair the house.The originally rough and dilapidated hut finally had a somewhat festive atmosphere for the New Year, and Hu Yan's gadgets were almost finished. I didn't know where to put them, and I was afraid that the clouds would see them, so I just carried them with me.

At noon five days later, Yun Congfeng took advantage of Hu Yan's wind blowing on the roof, took the bank note that had been issued in advance, put it in his pocket, and went out to greet the roof: "Hu Yan, I'm going out for a meeting, what do you want to eat? ?”

"Bring a bag of pears and do it." Hu Yan couldn't think of anything else to eat, and said.

"Okay, I'll be back in a minute."

Yun Congfeng trotted to the market, the merchants were closed, the flow of people on the market street almost disappeared, and it was quiet.He dashed to the tailor's, which had a small door open enough for one person to pass through.

He walked in, and the old man was patting around the shop with a feather duster: "Oh, here?"

Yun Congfeng's heart beat faster: "Where are the clothes?"

The old man patted himself and put down the feather duster.Lifting the curtain in the corner, there is a tailoring room inside the curtain, filled with an inexplicable smell of cloth, the white cloak is conspicuously hung on a human-shaped bracket, and the hem of the cloak stretches out an elegant arc.

The modified cloak is even more beautiful, and the gold carved feathers on the back of the cloak are obviously more than those sold before.

The old man took off the cloak, folded it skillfully, wrapped it with paper, patted the center of the clothes lightly to make sure it was fluffy, then tied it loosely with a thin rope, lifted it up, and looked up at Yun Congfeng.

Yun Congfeng put down the banknote, took the package, it was a bit heavy, soft, and had a faint pear blossom fragrance.

It's finally here.Yun Congfeng felt a sense of relief for a moment, he carried it, thanked the old man, and left the store.

After buying dried pears and returning to Qingping Division, Hu Yan was still on the roof, looking into the distance, Yun Congfeng entered the house softly to hide his clothes, and then went up to the roof: "Hu Yan, your dried pears."

Hu Yan took the dried pear, opened it and chewed a piece, and smiled contentedly: "I just remembered that the market is closed today, where did you buy it?"

"The market is closed, and the roadside stalls are confiscated. Is the taste okay?"

Hu Yan picked up a slice: "Would you like to try it?"

Yun Congfeng hadn't eaten many dried pears, but after tasting it, he knew that the taste was not very good. The pears were bland, and the pears had a slight sour taste.Quhui's authentic dried pears are pure and sweet, while dried pears produced in other places are a little sour.

"I didn't buy it well." Yun Congfeng was embarrassed, "There is only this one on the street, so I didn't think too much about it."

"It's okay, it's good if you can eat it." Hu Yan didn't care about the little difference in taste, licked his fingers, and felt that he was happy if he was willing to run for him.
