The No. [-] Temple Street in Gusu is adjacent to Jiangkou. The coolness from the bells of Jiangfengyu Huohan Temple and the bustle and prosperity of the night market streets are perfectly integrated. There are thousands of households in the world, and the head is Yuhua Xiantai.One point more is too noisy, one point less is too lonely, but combined with the gentleness of Jiangnan water town, the sound of selling and the sound of bells and drums are entangled together and transformed into weak willows hanging down thousands of green ribbons on the riverside. return.

Ling Qiufan grew up in Wu County, and he is no stranger to Gusu No. [-] Temple Street.She is different from her younger sister Ling Xueji. Although Ling Xueji is naturally active, her father disciplines her very strictly.In contrast, her elder sister often followed her father to see some scenes, and she had much more freedom to leave the house.So this time when I came to the night market, Ling Qiufan didn't have too many mood swings, but Wei Yueyan, this high-ranking official in the capital actually looked like a bumpkin who entered the countryside for the first time, look at this one, touch that one, If you don't look at her, there will be a lot of boxes in your hands in a blink of an eye.

"Although the things in the night market are fresh and beautiful, they may not be easy to use." Ling Qiufan looked at Wei Yueyan who was hugging the big box and the small box in his arms, and slowly shook his head, "It's like the lipstick you bought just now, the color is really special But it is very easy to fade, and the smell is too sweet. It can be seen that something has been mixed with the flower juice, and it can’t be used even if you buy it.”

"That's it..." Wei Yueyan looked down at the box in his hand, a little resentful, he wanted to buy those things for his wife, but he didn't expect to be rejected by others.But she never used such things as rouge pollen hair oil, how could she know these things.

Seeing her aggrieved appearance, Ling Qiufan really couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't help laughing in front of Wei Yueyan, so he turned his face to cover his lips and snickered, "The ancients said, 'Thousands of goose feathers, politeness is light and affection is heavy.' Yours I just accept this kind of intention." He raised his hand and took the three long boxes above Wei Yueyan's chest and put them in his bosom.

Wei Yueyan never thought that his wife would comfort her, and even took the initiative to help her share the burden, and was flattered for a while. "Qiu Fan, shall I buy it for you again?"

"No need." Ling Qiufan stopped, and casually picked up a box of Meidai from the rouge stand beside him, "I can choose these things myself." After speaking, feeling the desolation of the people around him, he added another sentence helplessly , "If the general is interested, just settle the bill for me."

Wei Yueyan jumped up excitedly after hearing this, "Very good, this is my gift to Qiu Fan!"

"Pfft." Ling Qiufan finally couldn't help chuckling out loud, she can think whatever she likes, she always feels that saying anything that spoils the fun tonight is a disappointment to the beauty of the day, so let her do it.Xu is that the night in Gusu is really beautiful tonight, Ling Qiufan feels in a good mood.

The two were bowing their heads and thinking about their respective thoughts, a burst of clear laughter like silver bells passed by them lightly, and several flower-like girls walked through the crowd together, talking about the most famous dim sum in Gusu City.With a twitch in Wei Yueyan's heart, he turned his head to look at Ling Qiufan, and saw that the man's hair was dotted with pearls, as if reflecting the splendid lights of the city in the distance.

"Qiu Fan, what are some delicious snacks here?" It's not easy for her to buy rouge pollen, so there's nothing to choose from.It's definitely right to buy food.

Ling Qiufan withdrew Feiyuan's thoughts, raised his finger and replied: "There are ten famous pastries in Gusu City, namely plum blossom cake, crabapple cake, green onion and lard cake, money square cake, mincemeat cake, and Dingsheng cake. , Huangqian Cake with Pine Nuts, Pine Nuts and Pretzel Cakes, Melon Seeds and Rose Cakes, and Yunpian Cakes. But if you want to eat the most authentic Gusu dim sum, you have to make an appointment at Juchun Building in advance, and there may be no seats at this time.”

"Ah, why is it so troublesome for you in Wu County to eat dim sum?" Wei Yueyan was a little puzzled, obviously in Jinling, there are delicious things everywhere in the streets and alleys, and every family has its own merits.

"Want to eat dim sum, of course there are everywhere, but the general came all the way to Wu County, if I let the general eat sub-standard dim sum, wouldn't it be my honor to be a landlord?" Ling Qiu laughed at Yan Yan, Qiu Shui cut Wei Yueyan's eyes were full of waves, and Wei Yueyan was caught off guard when he saw it.

"Then, can we only eat it tomorrow?" Wei Yueyan licked her lips. She has been bloody in the battlefield for more than ten years, and she is used to eating and sleeping in the open.As long as you can manage your satiety, you don't pursue taste. After going to Jinling to become the general of the Twelve Guards, you haven't had a good life.It's one thing to come all the way to Wujun after taking a leave of absence. It's one thing to accompany my wife back home, but it's a pity if I can't eat and have fun.

Sensing Wei Yueyan's subtle emotional changes, Ling Qiufan lightly tapped the man's shoulder with his fingers, and his tone softened a lot, "Not really."

"Oh?" Wei Yueyan suddenly raised his head, his eyes were as narrow and long as cut by a sharp knife, and there was a flame of hope dancing.

"On a Linshui bridge a little far from here, there is an old man setting up a stall there. The pastries he sells are even more delicate and delicious than those made in Juchunlou."

"Then why is that Juchunlou still open? Everyone can go to the old man's place to buy it?" Wei Yueyan blinked. ?”

Ling Qiufan shook his head, "You don't know, this old uncle was the imperial chef of the former dynasty. Not only did he make cakes, but he was no worse than any other imperial chef in the palace. However, their ancestors had strict training, and they were not inferior to each other from generation to generation. I would like to serve in the palace, but I don’t want to be too ostentatious with my skills. Once the emperor and the courtiers, but the people are still the people of the world, so every fifteen or twenty, the descendants of their family will be at the Gusu Night Market , and sell the pastries they made to the common people.”

"So there is such a story." Wei Yueyan saw that Ling Qiufan showed a little nostalgia when he said those words just now, thinking that Wu County only lifts the curfew for a few months every year, and Gusu Night Market is even more rare , my wife probably hasn't eaten those pastries for nearly a year before and after her marriage to Jinling, she must be missing them very much... That's the taste that belongs to Wu Jun alone.

Wei Yueyan suddenly put the boxes, big and small, long and short, on the side of the rouge booth, "Qiu Fan, don't look at these, let's go buy the pastries you mentioned."

Ling Qiufan paused, and rejected her kindness, "No need. That old man is over seventy years old, and the pastries he makes are getting less and less every year, and I'm afraid they are sold out at this time."

"What! Leave before it's sold out?" Wei Yueyan clapped his hands, and said decisively: "Qiu Fan, you are waiting here, don't go away, I will go back!" After saying that, he kicked his feet to use his strength After a few strokes of light work, he jumped onto the beam of the house and quickly moved forward to hide in the night, causing an uproar on the ground.

Before Ling Qiufan had time to shout out, the man had disappeared, so he could only sigh helplessly.

"Girl, you have been looking at this box of Meidai for a long time, do you think it suits you?"

A calm voice sounded in my ears, isolating the hustle and bustle of the city like an accidental fall from the sky.Ling Qiufan looked in surprise, only to see a woman in apricot yellow clothes slowly standing up from the booth, looking at herself with a slight smile.I don't know if it's because the night is too charming and the lights are too beautiful. When she cast her eyes on the woman, she faintly saw a crabapple stretching leisurely, and the fragrance is better than fragrance.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ling Qiufan realized that he had lost his composure, and apologetically put the Mei Dai in his hand back on the stall.

The apricot-clothed woman smiled lightly and said: "My Qingquetou Dai is different from ordinary Mei Dai, Miss, don't you intend to take a look again?"

"Qingquetoudai?" Ling Qiu looked back in surprise, "You said that the Meidai you sold was the long-lost Qingquetoudai?"

Seeing the apricot-clothed woman nodding with a smile, Ling Qiufan picked up the eyebrow box that had just been put back at the booth to check again, and saw that these eyebrows were reddish in color, black but not astringent. The long-awaited Qingque Toudai is very similar.

"There is also this box of golden flower swallows, which is also steamed with the juice squeezed out of the fresh flowers I planted at home. You might as well take a look."

----------

As expected, the old man who sold pastries didn't make too many pastries for sale. By the time Wei Yueyan arrived, the crowd had dispersed, and the old man was about to pack up his things and prepare to close the stall and go home.Wei Yueyan stood on the side with his hands down, looking at the water surface illuminated by the lights, feeling a little lost for a moment.

Suddenly, the fragrance of cakes came from around him, Wei Yueyan moved his nose and felt the fragrance of the cakes was fresh, sweet but not greasy.With a heartbeat, he immediately grabbed the shoulder of the woman in red who was holding the pastry.

"Please stay, girl, I have a heartless request."

The woman turned her head slightly, revealing half of her charming face, and glanced over lazily with her phoenix eyes...

------------

"I didn't expect there to be such a thing in the night market. I used to be ignorant." Ling Qiu Fan looked at the newly bought rouge oil with admiration, and there was a rare joy on his cold cheeks. "Hey, girl, do you have moisturizing balm here? The kind that is extremely moisturizing." Ling Qiufan put the things back into the box, and asked the apricot-clothed woman.

The woman in apricot clothes thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You want to buy it for the girl who bought pastries for you just now?"

Ling Qiufan was said to be scheming, his face felt a little hot and he hurriedly looked away, not daring to look directly at the woman's eyes that were as clear as water. "Don't be joking."

"Pfft." The apricot-clothed woman didn't say anything to her, she went around her booth, picked up a milk-colored porcelain jar from a corner, and handed it to Ling Qiufan, "Seeing that girl is very skilled, I think she has been practicing martial arts all year round." This bottle of balm has been mixed with a lot of milk and some skin care Chinese herbal medicines, not only has a light smell, but also has an excellent moisturizing effect. It can be used all year round, and it can also lighten spots and remove scars, which is wonderful."

Ling Qiufan took the porcelain pot and opened it, and sure enough, a scent of grass and trees filled his nostrils, and when he got closer, he could only vaguely smell the sweetness of milk, and there was no fishy smell at all.Take a little and put it on the back of your hand, and the milky white paste melts and penetrates when it touches the skin, and the effect is immediate.Ling Qiufan loved it in his heart, and immediately took out his purse to pay the money, but was declined by the apricot-clothed woman.

"The girl's heart is more than a thousand pieces of gold and silver, so this balm is given to the girl."
