"Wow, this is a toy. This toy looks really fun."
After walking two steps, the children found a toy stall. The small stall was surrounded by little kids and their parents. .
The stalls sell bamboo and wooden toys.
It is very different from the large-scale production of plastic, but each has its own shape, which is basically unique.
There are small cars, small animals, fat pigeons that can move, and monkeys that can pull strings and do somersaults.
In addition, there are ducks and frogs.
When Ruirui saw this, he thought of his little elephant. His eyes immediately lit up and he shouted: "Little elephant, little elephant!"
"Ruirui has a little elephant. , you can buy this duck, this duck has a small drum on it, you can play the drum!"
Qin Yueru said, pointing to the little duck among them.
The little duck made of wood has four wheels under its body, and its body is a small drum of the same wood.
The snare drum also comes with a small mallet.
The little duck's chest is a button with a rope attached to it.
Not to mention the little kids today, Chen Ling also played with this thing when he was a child.
It can be said that it carries many of Chen Ling’s childhood memories.
When Chen Ling was a child, one of the few things he could remember at home was this duck toy.
It was his father, Chen Juncai, who bought it from the county town.
After his mother was lost, he could play with ducks in front of his house all day long.
Tie the rope and pull it, and you can hear the thumping sound of the small drum when the little duck runs.
Unfortunately, there was a flood later, and many things were lost long ago.
“Uncle, how can I sell this little duck?”
Almost as soon as Qin Yueru finished speaking, Chen Ling took over. He also liked this thing very much.
Ruirui didn’t want it, but he had a thought in buying it back.
The old man who sets up the stall is pretty good at his craftsmanship, although not as good as Chen Sangui’s.
But the toys are well made.
This chubby little duck is infinitely close to the one he once was.
The craftsmanship is meticulous and the entire toy is polished smooth.
“Take away the two dollars!”
The old man was smoking his pipe without raising his head, looking like a stuffy gourd.
Hearing this, Chen Ling handed over a ten-dollar note and asked the dolls to pick something else.
Two yuan for a small toy is actually not cheap in this day and age.
But Chen Ling obviously doesn't care about this, he just wants the children to be happy.
"The crispy rice here is delicious, I want to buy some crispy rice."
"There are also cat ears, glutinous rice sticks..."
A woman who has a family is also a woman , plus they are still young.
I can’t help but get greedy when I encounter some snacks.
Besides, it’s Chinese New Year and if you have children at home, you should buy more snacks.
Chen Ling had no interest in snacks, so he and Liang Yuemin looked around, looking for something interesting.
The little chestnuts and Ruirui on his shoulders are very greedy.
More greedy than my mother and aunts, I want to eat everything I see.
Smelling the aroma of dog meat, they wanted to eat dog meat.
People who sell dog meat here call it spiced dog meat.
Chen Ling didn't know how to make it, but he thought it was mainly salty, and there were no unusual seasonings in this era.
Not much of a surprise to him.
"That's dog meat. Don't you like puppies very much?"
Liang Yuemin asked the two children: "Can you still bear to eat dog meat?"
Ruirui couldn't understand the complicated words, so she just grabbed Chen Ling's big hand and shouted: "Dad, eat meat..."
Xiao Lizi said: "Uncle, I smelled so good, so I just tasted it." OK, it’s not our family dog anyway.”
Chen Ling couldn’t help laughing, so she had to buy some for a few kids to try.
Dog meat has no peculiar smell and is indeed very fragrant.
But they didn’t buy more, because there were too many delicious things at such a big fair near the end of the year.
Chen Ling also saw various meat skewers, as well as chicken legs and duck legs fried there.
I had never heard of it before, and he had done some of it when he was hosting a banquet.
Is this the news?
"The sesame balls are delicious, but the meat is not as good as dog meat, far worse than what we cook at home!"
The women agreed that the snacks are more delicious.
They felt that the meat was very different from the ones Chen Ling made himself, so they didn't take a second look.
But everyone holds big paper bags of snacks in their hands. The children eat them, and they eat them too.
Wang Susu also fed Chen Ling and the two children on his shoulders from time to time.
Xiao Lizi sat on Chen Ling's shoulder and could see very far. She soon discovered something new and strange: "Uncle, let's go to the front quickly. There are monkey performers there. I heard grandma say "It's fun to play monkey."
The little girl spoke, and the other children also became curious.
Playing monkey is fun once you hear it.
Everyone was clamoring to go.
Anyway, everyone is here to hang out, so let’s go and have a look.
The whole family crowded around the crowd.
It was then that I discovered that the monkey trick was actually playing in the open space at the entrance of the hospital.
The scene was so big that it took up all the open space in the county hospital.
As soon as they stood outside, they heard the sound of gongs ringing in the circle formed by the crowd. The monkey man shouted in an exaggerated tone:
"Old and young gentlemen, come on. It’s New Year’s Day, let’s make some money~”
He made the children laugh with his humor.
But the adults didn’t laugh. Instead, when they saw the monkey charmer asking for money, they felt it was boring and started to leave.
The onlookers on the three floors inside and three outside just now were reduced by more than half.
Seeing this, Chen Ling quickly took advantage of the situation to find a stone and stood on it.
Seeing this, Liang Yuemin hurried to his side, picked up the little fat man and Yaya from Zhao Dahai's house and watched.
As soon as I stood in a good position, I saw two monkeys inside. A big monkey and a little monkey.
At this time, the cute little monkey was holding the plate and spinning around asking for money.
"This monkey is not bad, very obedient, much better than the wild monkeys in the mountains, and it can play this trick..."
Chen Ling said in surprise, taking it out of his pocket Two pieces of five yuan were given to Ruirui and Xiaolizi respectively to put them in.
Ruirui put the money down, shouted excitedly, and leaned down hard to touch the little monkey.
“Thank you quickly and bow to me!”
The monkey man was overjoyed when he saw two five-dollar coins.
After saying goodbye, he felt like he was talking quickly, so he quickly walked forward and picked up the little monkey for Ruirui to touch.
I was given ten yuan at a time, and I could touch it if I wanted to. I was not satisfied with this, and I couldn’t even afford the reward.
"I want it too, dad give me the money quickly, and I want to touch the little monkey too!"
The little fat man shouted, and Yaya also looked expectant.
Liang Yuemin naturally paid happily.
I handed over two more ten-dollar bills.
Hey guys, the monkey guy is excited now.
The monkey is not doing well yet.
He himself turned somersaults excitedly.
When he did this, the big and small monkeys all started to do somersaults.
Then, the money in the little monkey’s tray scattered all over the floor.
“Oh, you lost your money.”
Liang Yuemin was still reminding him seriously.
Little did they know that this was a monkey man playing tricks.
He yelled "Ah!" and shouted: "My money."
It's okay that he didn't shout. After shouting this sentence, the big monkey seemed to have received a signal.
He ran over, grabbed the money, and started to run into the crowd.
The monkey man was so angry that he picked up the whip and started lashing out.
Monkey playing is also about technique.
It looked like the whip was about to hit the audience, but it suddenly turned a corner and hit the big monkey.
The monkey was also very responsive. He stretched out his hand and pulled, grinned and screamed "ke", then pulled hard and took the whip into his hand.
Then he took the whip and whipped the man who was playing monkey.
While pumping, he screamed, as if he was cursing someone.
The monkey-playing man was beaten until he cried for his father and mother, and rolled around with his head in his hands.
But the adult monkey still kept doing it until the monkey man's shoes fell off and his belt fell off.
Walling on the floor begging for mercy, shouting that Grandpa Monkey pressed the wrong button, I will give you good food and drink every day, and don’t hit me again.
It caused a burst of laughter from the onlookers.
Of course this has been rehearsed long ago, and the monkey has also been trained.
When a skilled monkey juggler hits a monkey, the whip may appear to be swung hard, but in fact the blow is not very hard.
The same goes for monkeys hitting people.
This is someone who sells misfortune to make money.
In fact, the effect of the program is very good up to this point.
Unexpectedly, the little monkey was also very smart. At this time, he bowed and clapped, picked up the tray on the ground, and started to scream in a circle.
Let everyone reward you with money.
"Good job, this monkey is well trained, this little monkey is smart!"
The onlookers shouted.
This time it was not just Chen Ling and the others, but even the ordinary audience members who were reluctant to pay took out one or two steel coins and gave them as rewards.
The man playing the monkey was about to say thank you.
Unexpectedly, the little chestnut on Chen Ling's shoulder said with red eyes: "The little monkey came out to support the family at such a young age. It's so pitiful. The monkey trick must have refused to give it food and drink, so he and the monkey mother followed him. Suffer.”
Xiaolizi used to have the temper of a spoiled little princess and didn't understand this.
That is to say, we have come to the countryside more, and with the influence of Chen Ling's cartoons, various small animals have been given human characteristics.
Slowly she came to know a lot of things without knowing why.
But, most of these will still be substituted into animal characters.
Then she said something slightly pitiful and choked.
The other little kids around who came to the market were also angry: "Monkey, keep beating him, I'll pay you, beat him, keep beating him!"
Even the little fat man, the others, and Ruirui started shouting. : "Hit!"
The monkey player didn't dare to get up now, because there were too many money thrown at him. With more money, the big monkey also beat him well, and his hands became stronger.
The man playing the monkey suddenly screamed even more miserably.
What an unexpectedly wonderful show.
After watching the monkey show, the children were more excited and felt that they had a great time.
Chen Ling also discovered something good soon.
It is a strange stone.
The stall owner said he picked it up in Wangba City.
Sold at a stall during the Chinese New Year, it can be used as a town stone or Feng Shui stone at home.
Of course, this one is not as high-end as those in the city, which means it can be buried somewhere at home.
Some are completely buried, and some are partially exposed. Each family has its own explanation based on the different terrain.
"The mining in Wangba City has cut off the river flow. Both rivers have dried up. What is exposed on the river bed are all beautiful stones. Take a look, we picked up all these. It’s a good thing!”
The stall owner introduced and looked towards Chen Ling: "The one you picked emits smoke when you pour water on it. I want to sell this for two hundred yuan."
The one Chen Ling picked was a strange stone with six holes. The shape of this strange stone is not strange, it is just like a rockery.
But he is not small, about thirty centimeters in height.
"It will smoke when you water it. It contains lime, right? It costs two hundred yuan, how dare you ask for it!"
Liang Yuemin shook his head, Wang Bacheng opened the mine, and it contains similar It's not impossible if it's made of lime material. (End of this chapter)
