Chapter 291 Hail
She couldn't wait seven days, so she planned to ask Zhao Qingwen for help and have the rent she received sent to her together with the share of the book profits.
The two went to the restaurant again to listen to the storyteller tell stories.
This time they booked a private room with reclining chairs.
Su He and Liu Bai each had one. On the wooden table in the middle was a pot of hot tea and some cakes and preserved fruits.
The two of them could see the scene on the first floor through the window facing each other. Su He looked for a while and then lay down. It would have been nice if he could play with his cell phone at this time.
Su He sighed that she was still a modern person after all.
After a while, the second game in the morning began.
This time it tells the love story between a rich lady and a down-and-out scholar. It is old-fashioned, but classic.
Su He just thought it was a lullaby. Her eyes narrowed smaller and smaller, and finally she fell into a deep sleep.
"Why should a rich girl marry a poor guy? You storytellers just like to daydream. I don't want to hear this!"
Su He woke up suddenly and heard the storyteller's helpless explanation.
"My lady, I am just following the book. If you don't like it, Cui Niang will come up and sing a song later. Please wait."
"No, I don't want to listen to the song. Change it now to the song by Huang Chun'er. I want to listen to this one."
"This, Miss, is not allowed to be discussed recently."
Su He leaned towards the window and saw that the storyteller looked embarrassed. Then he saw the girl in riding clothes throwing a piece of gold up.
"Will Fish Lady tell me?"
"Yes, I will, hahaha, miss, then I will start now."
Su He watched the storyteller quickly pick up the gold nugget, clear his throat and start talking.
"Wait, let's go to the second half. I got angry when I saw that fish lady crying in the first half."
Su He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Yu Niang wasn't crying at all. She just cried a few times at the beginning. It always takes some time for the heroine to grow up.
It seems that this sponsor only likes to read exciting stories, and only reads high-profile ones.
Su He thought of the real and fake treasures in the space. She might as well send them to the Zhao family later. The sooner they are sold, the sooner they can earn money.
Half an hour later, Su He stretched and prepared to leave.
"Xiaobai, let's book an inn. I want to have a good sleep."
She felt like she could sleep from afternoon to afternoon.
Liu Bai drove to Yuelai Inn at the South Gate and booked two superior rooms. Su He arranged the rooms as usual, changed into his own quilt and went to sleep.
Su He slept until eight o'clock in the evening. He went to the space to drink some hot water and wash his face, then went out to find Liu Bai for dinner.
"Xiaobai, are you awake?"
Su He knocked on the door and it opened immediately.
"Have you had dinner? Can we go out?"
Liu Bai nodded gently, "I ate two meat buns an hour ago. There is a night market nearby, do you want to go and have a look? This is the only place you can go shopping, and other places are under curfew."
Su He nodded frantically, she loved going to the night market and buying more to bring back.
The two of them set off as soon as they said they would. Liu Bai borrowed an oil lamp from the waiter and hitched the carriage in the dark.
"It's more convenient for us to take a car, so we can leave quickly if anything unexpected happens."
Su He nodded in agreement, she thought so too.
The two men drove the carriage through a quiet street, turned right and saw a light in the distance.
Su He waited until Liu Bai stopped steadily and then got off.
The night market here is much larger than the one in Guangyuan. Su He thinks it is directly related to the size of the street.
The streets here have stalls on both sides, and can accommodate two carriages running side by side.
This night market looks much more formal, with all the lanterns hung under the eaves, lighting up the entire street.
There were still various stalls on both sides of the road, and the most popular items were food. The food here was somewhat similar to that at the morning market. Su He saw malt sugar again. This time she asked the stall owner to roll it into the shape of a lollipop using a small wooden stick, wrapping each one with oil paper, and rolled 50 in a row.
Su He used local materials and bought a large bamboo box to store the lollipops.
"Xiaobai, one for each of you, eat early and enjoy early."
Liu Bai took it silently, carried the box in his left hand and ate the candy with his right hand.
The breeze at the night market is so unique and sweet.
Su He skipped the long line for glutinous rice dumplings and bought sour plum soup from the shop next door.
The cooled sour plum soup dilutes the sweetness in your mouth, and the sweet and sour taste is another kind of enjoyment.
Su He's appetite suddenly increased, and she asked Liu Bai to buy some tongue biscuits. She was hungry in the morning and only had one bite, but this time she wanted to eat the whole thing.
The tongue biscuits, which were bigger than the palm of a hand, were eaten up bit by bit, and the sour plum soup in the bowl was also finished.
Su He thought of the space, and his mind moved. He ignored Liu Bai's obstruction and bought 20 more tongue biscuits and put them in the bamboo box. There were also freshly baked glutinous rice cakes. There were fewer people at this time, so Su He hurried to line up to buy them.
He also bought a few meat buns, osmanthus cake, cloud cake, and water chestnut cake. Su He seemed to be on a big shopping spree, filling the entire box with food.
Finally, seeing that the fish ball soup smelled delicious, she took the opportunity when Liu Bai went to queue up somewhere else and went directly to the boss to buy 50 raw ones, wrapped them in oil paper, and put them away in the dark corner.
After finishing this side, the two came to the other side and walked back from the end. They met a vendor carrying candied haws and shouting, and Su He immediately bought all of them.
There was no empty space in the box in Liu Bai's hand, so Su He bought another identical bamboo box to continue packing.
She was only focused on the food, and ignored all the clay figurines and facial masks, not paying any attention to any of them.
By the time we left the night market, Su He's box was full again.
The two men put away the two boxes of food and prepared to rush back to the inn.
As soon as Liu Bai set out, he felt something was wrong, and something hit his hand.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, he was hit on the head again.
Su He heard the noise and looked outside. Oh no, it was hail!
"Xiaobai, go back quickly! It's hail!"
Liu Bai had reacted before Su He spoke. He slapped the mule's butt hard and drove the mule to run quickly.
But it was too late. The hailstones grew heavier in just a few breaths, and some were as big as half a human head.
Liu Bai quickly drove the carriage into the nearest inn, and the two of them took shelter in the stable.
The night market, which had just been warm and happy, suddenly became chaotic. Everyone was fleeing in a hurry, and those who were shopping in the night market could simply run away.
These stall owners were in a difficult situation. The unsold food and tables and chairs on the stalls were all affected. Some of them who were more open-minded cried and looked for places to hide. Some of them who were more open-minded tried to push their stalls away to find somewhere to hide. But the hail was not considerate. The faster you tried to hide, the faster it hit you. Soon, several people were hit with bloody heads and fainted on the ground.
Su He could hear the crying and shouting from the night market across the street.
