A young husband dressed as a violent butcher

cumin?Xiong Zhuangshan looked up, and Cai Xue grabbed a handful of spices in his hand. He didn't know which spice was which, and naturally he didn't know which kind his husband could point out.

"Wait a while after their sacrifices, I'll go over and ask you." Xiong Zhuangshan said.

"Well, don't worry about it beforehand. The left and right are just food. You can ask anytime. When Cai Xue finishes his work, don't add to the confusion." Tang Shou thought for a while, "Erlang, let's go to Auntie's to buy. Pack cakes, when children are sick and don’t want to eat, if they can eat something that they can’t eat easily, they may still have some appetite.”

The two retreated quietly and went to Mother Xiong's house.There are people coming and going at the door of Mother Xiong's house, some from the nearby town to buy pastries to sell back, and some runners from Xinghua Village to buy some food for themselves.It was bustling for a while, and the two came in without attracting special attention.

The two of them entered the yard and were about to walk towards the living room when Tang Shou suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter, husband?"

Tang Shou stretched out his finger, and saw Mrs. Xiong Wu standing not far away, and standing opposite her was a man in particularly shabby clothes.

Today's Xinghua Village has Xiong's family, and the running businessmen who come and go drive a lot of economy. But some people don't go out to work, and clean up their homes. Those running businessmen who think Xiong's accommodation is expensive will be willing to live. In such a family.Pay a few cents for food every day, and you can eat some steamed corn bread and vegetables from the farm. Naturally, it is not as delicious as Xiong's family, but it is easy to control your hunger.

Therefore, many families around do not go out to work, entertain guests at home, and have a surplus of one hundred and eighty Wen in January.So now, except for a few villagers who are too muddy to support the wall, they are rarely dressed in such rags that they look like they were picked up from a garbage dump.

Mrs. Xiong Wu and the man stood in the yard outside the crowd, dozens of steps away from the house. This distance was just right, and the two of them would not attract attention if they talked alone. Others would just think they were talking It is a business matter, and as long as the two of them keep their voices down, no one will hear what they say.

The reason why Tang Shou noticed them was because he seemed to have seen the man pull Mrs. Xiong Wu's hand just now. Although she was thrown away by Mrs. Xiong Wu, she didn't see Mrs. Xiong Wu being ashamed. Instead, she looked around cautiously. , just a look of fear of being seen by others.

"Who is that person? Doesn't seem to be from the village?" Tang Shou has been here for more than half a year, and most of the villagers can recognize him, but he really has no impression of this person.

Xiong Zhuangshan shook his head and said, "It's really not from the village."

Tang Shou pondered for a moment, then called in the direction of Mrs. Xiong Wu, "Fifth Sister."

Seeing that it was them, Wu Niangzi's complexion changed suddenly, and she became flustered in an instant. She ran over quickly without even saying hello to the man.

I don't know if Wu Niangzi was scared or ran too fast. When she ran to talk, she was out of breath, "Second brother, second brother Fulang, why are you here?" While talking, she secretly looked at Xiong Zhuangshan's expression cautiously.

Xiong Zhuangshan's face was still expressionless as usual.

Tang Shou laughed and said, "Cai Xue's son has developed a high fever. We bought some pastries and went to visit."

"Oh, that's it." Wu Niangzi looked extremely unnatural, she didn't know if she heard what Tang Shou said, and she looked absent-minded.

Tang Shou looked at Xiong Zhuangshan and saw that Xiong Zhuangshan didn't respond. He knew that Xiong Zhuangshan was always impatient to meddle in other people's affairs, even if it was his own sister, he was not willing to meddle in other people's affairs.

So Tang Shou only nodded slightly and said: "Fifth Sister, you are not young anymore, if there is a suitable family, just come to propose marriage, and I think my mother is very willing to see you get married."

Mrs. Xiong Wu is Xiong Zhuangshan's younger sister after all, and there are some things that cannot be ignored, and she can't help but watch her go the wrong way and ruin her reputation.But since Xiong Zhuangshan didn't want to get involved too deeply with them, Tang Shou also based on this blood relationship, and let it go.

When the two came over, Mother Xiong was busy and didn't have time to talk. In addition to wrapping a small bag of pastries for the Cai family, she also wrapped a few catties of walnut cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for them, so she didn't ask for money.

There was also an episode in which a small vendor who didn't know Xiong Zhuangshan and the others pointed at the two and asked Mother Xiong, "Why did they jump in line? I've already lined up for a stick of incense. Why don't they come first and give it to them?" ?”

Mother Xiong put her hips on her hips and replied, "This is my second son and my second son Fu Lang. If they want it, I'll give it to them and I won't have any from you."

The two sent the cakes home and then returned to Cai's house. The sacrificial ceremony was over, the sacrificial table in the yard had been taken down, and the big pig's head and chicken were gone.

Farmers don't have as many etiquettes as big families, and they don't pay much attention to privacy. The doors and doors of the house are always open in summer, and anyone in the village who goes to another house just pushes the door and enters.

Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan only entered the gate, and when they reached the door of the house, even though the door of Cai's house was open, they still knocked symbolically.It made the Cai family stunned for a moment, wondering why someone came to the house and knocked on the door.It was Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan who came out and laughed, "Come in, why did you knock on the door?"

Tang Shou didn't say much, just said: "Erlang and I came to see the child, how is the child now, but is he still fever?"

Father Cai laughed, "It's not hot anymore, it's alright, it'll be fine after the sacrifice."

"That's good." As they spoke, Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan walked into the room, and the baby of the Cai family was lying on the kang, covered with a thin quilt, chattering.

Mrs. Cai Xue coaxed her son to drink a bowl of medicine that was bitter at first sight, but the little baby refused to take a sip no matter how much she coaxed her.

"Hey, if you drink all the medicine, I'll give you this bag of pastries." Tang Shou came to the kang and picked up the pastries.

Cakes are delicate foods, even though the Cai family's life has improved slightly, it is not easy to eat them, unless a child can get a palm-sized piece during the festival.

The little baby's eyes lit up instantly when he looked at the pastry, and he looked at his mother shining brightly. At this time, he couldn't tell that he was sick.

"It's Mr. Xiong Fulang and Mr. Xiong Lang, please sit down quickly." Mrs. Cai Xue said politely, and Cai Xue followed suit: "It's all right for you two to come and see the child. What else can you bring?"

"Children don't want to eat when they are sick. It's okay to eat something good. I remember that when I was a child, I would make a dozen... Whenever I got sick, my mother and father would buy me some snacks to eat. Most of them will be cured if I am happy. When I get hungry, I still hope that I will get sick, so my mother and father can buy many snacks for me."

Mrs. Cai Xue covered her mouth and smiled, "I didn't expect Xiong Fulang to be like this when he was a child."

"Children, they are all the same. Do you like to eat?" Tang Shou continued to seduce the children and said, "Drink the medicine obediently, and I will give you this bag of pastries."

The child looked at his aunt, saw his aunt nodded, then picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it without panting.He showed Tang Shou the empty bowl, and watched helplessly that the bag of pastries in his hand did not reach out to grab it.

Such a well-behaved child, Tang Shou didn't tease him, and directly handed him the pastry. The child took it, as if hugging a baby, eagerly opened the oiled paper bag, took out a piece of pastry and took a bite, it was delicious They all squinted.

"Father, mother, please try it." He said and stuffed the remaining cakes into the arms of Mrs. Cai Xue, "I still have to give it to Grandma and Ah Weng."

Cai Xue and his wife were reluctant to eat it, so they gave the pastry to Cai's father, and Cai's father was even more reluctant to push it back to the child.

The child hugged the pastry bag tightly, like a rare treasure, and the piece of osmanthus cake in his hand was even more reluctant to eat it all at once, so he took small bites and ate very carefully.

Seeing that the children were all right, Tang Shou offered to leave, Cai Xue kept a few words, and Tang Shou came out to see them off when he said there was something to do.

"By the way, I just saw cumin in the spices you bought during the sacrifice. I don't know where you bought that cumin?"

Cai Xue scratched his head, "Cumin? I don't know those spices either. I bought them from that incense shop in the town, and the shopkeeper wrapped them for me. They are all the cheapest spices."

Because spices are needed to make tooth incense at home, Tang Shou has to go to the spice shop from time to time, and there is only one spice shop in Yulin Town, but he has been there so many times, Tang Shou has never seen cumin, if not today. Cai Jiali saw it, and he thought that Cumin hadn't been brought to Yuchao yet.

Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan got into the ox cart and rushed to the town. They didn't stop to buy fresh seafood when they saw some fresh seafood on the road.Yulin Town does not rely on the sea, seafood is shipped from other places, not often, it depends on luck.

Arriving at the door of the spice shop in one breath, Xiong Zhuangshan jumped out of the bullock cart first, turned around and lifted the curtain, Tang Shou was about to jump down, but was pushed back by Xiong Zhuangshan, who had to take out the pedals before allowing Tang Shou to come down.

"Erlang, no matter how high this bullock cart can be, I can get down by myself. I don't need this footstool, it's too troublesome."

Xiong Zhuangshan looked at Tang Shou's stomach, "No, what if you have our child and don't know it, what if you jump down and stretch?"

Tang Shou: "..."

After Tang Shou came down, Xiong Zhuangshan turned around and put away the footstool, and calmly led his husband by the hand into the spice shop.

In the spice shop, there was a man hunched over the counter. He was dressed in shabby clothes, similar to the people from Xinghua Village.

At this moment, with a humble and sad face, he begged the shopkeeper: "You can take some more dry tea, these are really good things! They were brought back from the Western Regions by my father at the risk of his life. I heard from the people there that these They also got things from far away."

"It's not that I don't help you, I also sympathize with your father's experience. Last time, I made an exception and accepted these dry teas for your poor sake. As a result, they couldn't be sold at all. It was the last time there was a village People said it was for sacrifices, but I sold them at a loss, or no one would buy them at all." The shopkeeper said: "It's useless for you to talk to me so well, and those rich young men will be happy. Just pay for it, that’s all.”

The shopkeeper said and pushed back the cloth bag brought by the man to him. The shopkeeper's attitude was firm, and the man knew that it was unintentional to talk too much, so he silently put away the bag.

At this time Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan were walking over, and they accidentally glanced at it, and it was Cumin.

Tang Shou almost yelled in excitement, the yelling reached his throat, he choked it back, and coughed twice.

The shopkeeper looked up and saw that it was the two of them, and immediately changed his smile, ignored the man, and warmly greeted him.

"The two still want those spices?" Because Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan always came to buy things, the shopkeeper knew their faces, but didn't know their names.

"Well, yes, double the amount for me."

"Double the size?" The voice of the shopkeeper was a little trembling. The things the two customers bought were all medium spices, even medium, and such luxury items are not cheap. If they doubled, they would make a lot of money. .

The shopkeeper tried his best to stay calm, looking at the glamorous two people now, he couldn't help thinking that when Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan first came here, they were dressed in tatters and patches, and they were completely heaven and earth.At that time, the shopkeeper didn't think highly of them, and regarded them as servants from a wealthy family who came out to buy things for Mr. Wang.After a long time, these two people came back every three to five times, and the shopkeeper knew that they bought this thing for their own use, but the shopkeeper never smelled any fragrance from them.I also asked curiously, but I didn't get any news from the question, and it was almost regarded as a spy, so I gave up.

Tang Shou looked at the shopkeeper and nodded slowly. In fact, his attention was not on the shopkeeper at all, but on the man. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man leaving the entrance of the incense shop. Tang Shou said: " You prepare it first, Erlang and I go out to buy some things and come back later to pick them up."

They are all regular customers, and they always come to buy things, so the shopkeeper doesn't leave a deposit or anything like that.

Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan left the spice shop and looked around for a while, finally saw the figure of the man on the right side of the long street, and the cloth bag in his hand, and hurriedly chased after him.

"This gentleman." Tang Shou caught up with the man at a corner, ran forward, and slapped the man on the shoulder.

The man turned his head and saw Tang Shou's smiling face, subconsciously he was about to ask 'what's the matter', but accidentally his eyes fell on Xiong Zhuangshan who was behind Tang Shou.

The man was instantly frightened and jumped up, hugging the bag against the wall.

"You...you, what are you going to do?" The man hugged the bag tightly, looking at them like he was looking at robbers, afraid that they would come up and snatch his things.

Tang Shou explained: "We are not bad people, Erlang just has a fierce face, don't be afraid, in fact, we met in the spice shop just now."

The man took a closer look at the faces of the two of them, and seemed to have some impressions, but Xiong Zhuangshan was too fierce, so he kept on guard: "I don't know what the two of you are talking about?"

Tang Shou pointed to the bag in his hand and said, "We just want to buy some cumin."

"Cumin? What's that?" The man asked suspiciously, "What I have in my hand is cumin."

"Kuming?" Tang Shou was stunned for a moment, then he knew that Curan might be the name here. "Kuming is also fine, can you show us, if it is really what we are looking for, we are willing to pay money to buy it all."
