Chapter 37: Little Peach is here!
After noon, most of the people resting at the stall had left, and the boss was finally able to catch his breath. He wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, sat on the chair next to him, and said, "Brothers, little lady, I see you are strange, you are specially Come and listen to the show!"
"A play?"
Li Haitang shook her head, she wasn't interested in those babbling operas, she could fall asleep immediately after listening to them, but she still replied politely, "Seeing that it's getting cold, my husband and I came to the city to have a look and buy some furs clothes."
Husband... When Xiao Lingchuan heard this address, his body stiffened for a moment, and he thought about these two words repeatedly in his mind.
That's right, he was going to get married. He never thought that one day he would be able to marry a beautiful woman. All of this was unreal.
"Oh, for shopping, just come to the border town!"
The boss is talkative and chatty. He buys furs in the north of the city, where barbarians often come to exchange them. They like Daqi's tea and fabrics. Exchanges are much more cost-effective than buying them in shops.
It's all from experience, Li Haitang took it down carefully, and said casually, "Boss, is there a new play in town?"
When it comes to listening to an opera, the boss's eyes shine, and he has no intention of entertaining guests, "It's the most famous Dequan class in Beijing, and they are here to perform a big show!"
The Dequan troupe is well-known in Daqi, and the troupe seldom goes out of Beijing, and the Northland is a wild area in the eyes of Daqi people. This trip can catch up with the Dequan troupe singing, which is the first time in decades.
However, the troupe can stop for more than ten days at most, and the Northland is thousands of miles away from the capital, and they have to go back before the New Year.
When De Quanban came to the border town, there was a sensation in the surrounding cities. Now there are so many foreigners coming and going, even with him, the business is several times better than before.
"One tael for one ticket, at Fuxiang Tea House, the price is too fair!"
The boss said that he will close the stall in the afternoon, and then go to Fuxiang Tea House to queue up, maybe he can get a ticket.
It doesn't matter if he can't grab it, he is willing to spend money to take a look outside the door, as long as he takes a look, he is satisfied!
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, little lady. I'll go out of the stall before dawn to earn a lot of hard money. My dream is to go to a big restaurant in the capital to listen to De Quan's opera singing!"
The more the boss talked, the more excited he became, with tears glistening in his eyes. Facing such an ignorant Li Haitang, he hated that iron could not be made into steel, so he talked a lot, mainly talking about the deeds of De Quan's class.
Li Haitang was finally relieved when someone came to drink butter tea. She dragged her younger brother Li Jinhu into the carriage and fled.
"Brother Xiao, hurry up, let's go!"
Li Haitang wiped his sweat with his hands, took a deep breath, and urged Xiao Lingchuan to drive, as if there was a wolf chasing after him. Sure enough, the miraculous species of idiot powder exists, regardless of dynasties.
"Sit tight."
A few fast horses galloped head-on, and there were officials patrolling. Xiao Lingchuan gave instructions to the two people behind him, and then drove the carriage to dodge at a high speed. If it wasn't for his good driving skills, he might collide with the carriage next to him.
"Little Taohong, ahhh!"
"Little Taohong is here, sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers!"
Not far from the front, a dense crowd of people swarmed in within a few seconds, and the ones in the front row shouting were two 40-year-old aunts, holding flower baskets full of yellow chrysanthemums.
Li Haitang rubbed his forehead and reminded himself that in the future, he would have to check the calendar when he went out. What day is it today? Scattering chrysanthemums. Almost all the people in the city came. Who died? It should be a villain, otherwise the common people would not be so excited.
