Chapter 115: Too Much Food
The fruit is not big and each person can finish it in a few bites.
After the three of them finished eating, they patted the remaining crumbs on their hands and continued walking forward.
Zhang Yunyue: "Boss, I want a pot-shaped cake."
"Okay, girl, the pot cake is 7 cents each, please take it."
"Okay, thank you, boss." Zhang Yunyue took it. The boss's pot cake was very big, so Zhang Yunyue divided it into three portions and each tried a few bites.
"Boss, I want a bunch of candied haws."
"Boss, I want a scallion pancake."
"Uncle, brother, the smell of mutton soup wafting over there is so delicious. Let's go have another bowl of mutton soup. It happens that our mouths are a little dry right now. We haven't had mutton soup yet. And we have scallion pancakes here. Let's have it together."
"Okay, we've been walking for so long, let's drink some mutton soup and take a break, otherwise our feet won't be able to take it tonight."
The three of them walked to the mutton soup stall.
"Boss, I want three bowls of mutton soup, um, with green onions and cilantro."
"Okay, three guests, please find a seat over here. The mutton soup will be served soon."
The mutton soup boss pointed to the table and stools at the back and asked the three people to sit down.
Zhang Yunyue and the other two walked to the back of the stall and sat down. The mutton soup owner came over with the mutton soup.
"Three guests, come here, here are two bowls of mutton soup, and another bowl will be coming right away."
The mutton soup owner turned around and went back to the stall and brought a bowl of mutton soup.
"Three bowls of mutton soup are ready, please take your time drinking it. If you need anything, just call me."
Zhang Yunyue, Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Cheng took spoons and scooped up the soup to drink. The mutton soup did not have any mutton smell at all and was very delicious.
"Ah, it's delicious. I smelled the mutton soup just now and it was very delicious. I didn't expect it to taste even better when I drank it."
"This boss's mutton soup is really good."
The guest who was drinking mutton soup nearby heard the conversation between Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Cheng, put down the spoon in his hand, turned around and said:
"You may not know this, but their mutton soup is a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. Anyway, I drank it here when I was a child. Now decades later, I still like their mutton soup very much. Many people in the county have drunk their mutton soup, and some have been drinking it since they were young."
Another person drinking the soup agreed, "Yes, I heard that their mutton soup has a history of at least one or two hundred years. If you come to this snack street and don't drink a bowl of mutton soup, you will feel like something is missing."
"I see. Thank you both for your answers. Their mutton soup is indeed delicious. I will definitely come here again next time I come to this street."
Zhang Yunyue and the other two ate scallion pancakes with mutton soup and chatted while drinking.
The three of them stayed at the mutton soup stall for a full three quarters of an hour before they were ready to leave.
"Boss, how much is three bowls of mutton soup?"
The mutton soup shop owner saw that the three had finished drinking and was about to leave: "Three guests, three bowls of mutton soup for 30 cents."
Zhang Yunyue paid the money, and continued walking around with Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xingyun. Since they had just finished drinking mutton soup and were a little full, the three of them decided to stroll around and digest the food before buying something delicious.
The three of them were walking around, and Zhang Yunyue suddenly saw a small stall with various head flowers, hairpins, earrings, and bracelets on the table.
Thinking that Zhang Yunxue had bought her a hair flower before, she started choosing from the stall.
"Girl, you can take a look. These hair ornaments and headbands are all made by my wife. These wooden hairpins are carved by me with peach wood. Wearing them can ward off evil spirits. There are also silver hairpins and silver bracelets. You can take a look at them and buy them if you need them."
Zhang Yunyue picked out two head flowers for Zhang Yunxue at the stall, one pink and one light yellow, because the cloth she bought for Zhang Yunxue before was with light yellow floral patterns, and she believed that if the head flowers were also light yellow, it would look good together.
Then they gave a silver hairpin to Grandma Zhang, Mother Zhang and Mrs. Zhu, and each of them chose one. Zhang Yunyue herself was not interested in these hairpins and head flowers, so she did not choose one for herself.
"Boss, how much are these two hair ornaments and three silver hairpins?"
"Miss, the hair flowers are 10 coins each. The silver hairpins are relatively cheap because I made them myself and sell them at a stall. They are one tael of silver each, and I only make the money from my work."
Zhang Yunyue took a look and found that the vendor's craftsmanship was quite good. The carved wooden hairpins and made silver hairpins were very unique, so she paid without bargaining.
The vendor packed up the items and handed them to Zhang Yunyue.
"Miss, the hair flowers and silver hairpins are all packed, please take them."
After Zhang Yunyue took it, Zhang Xingyun took it and put it in his arms. After all, it was worth several taels of silver. It was not appropriate to hold it in his hand or put it in his sleeve as it would be easy to lose.
The three continued to stroll around. There was a circus show in front of them. The three paid the fee and sat inside to watch for a while.
When I came out, the sky had begun to darken and it was almost the hour of Xu.
Zhang Cheng looked at the sky and said to Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun, "Yueyue, Xiaoyun, it's already the hour of Xu. Why don't we go shopping for a while, eat something, and then go back to rest."
The two nodded. After strolling around for a while, they both felt a little tired.
"Uncle, brother, let's have a bowl of wontons. We'll be done after this."
"Sure, sure."
Zhang Cheng didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.
The three of them walked back and found a wonton stall to sit down.
"Boss, I want three bowls of wontons."
"Okay, please wait a moment, my three guests."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the wontons were served on the table.
"My three guests, please enjoy your meal."
Zhang Yunyue and the other two started eating. There was a lot of meat in the wontons, and the meat filling prepared by the boss was very fragrant, so much so that the three of them even drank the soup after finishing the wontons.
"I'm so full. I ate too much this afternoon." Zhang Xingyun said as he rubbed his stomach.
"I'm also full. The food on this street is delicious. Next time when Grandma and Auntie come to the county town, we'll bring them here to eat, along with Xiaoxue and Xiaofeng. They'll definitely be happier."
Zhang Cheng listened to what the two said: "Well, next time the whole family can come and visit. It's quite fun here. There is no such snack street in the town. Okay, let's go, let's walk back slowly."
The three of them went back to the inn before it got completely dark.
Back at the inn, Zhang Cheng asked the waiter to deliver two buckets of bath water to the two rooms. After walking all day, he wanted to take a bath to relieve fatigue so that he wouldn't have a sore back tomorrow.
After taking a shower, Zhang Yunyue, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xingyun all went to bed early.
The next day.
Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xingyun got up at noon, and it took them a quarter of an hour to pack up and go out.
The two men walked to the door of Zhang Yunyue's room, saw that the door was not locked, and knocked on it.
"Boom, bang, bang."
Zhang Cheng: "Yueyue, are you up?"
Zhang Yunyue was still dreaming when she heard a knock on the door and was instantly awakened.
Then he asked, "Ah, Uncle, what time is it now?"
"It's already past one quarter of the morning hour."
"Okay, wait for me downstairs first, I'll come down when I'm done packing."
After saying that, he put on his clothes quickly, checked the silver bills on his body, and took out the silver that he had agreed to use for the store transaction yesterday, put it in his arms, then washed up and went downstairs.
