Qingshan Town is located 80 miles north of Jinling City, and is a small town at Qixia Mountain. Entering April, there are wild grass and wild flowers everywhere on the green mountains, which look green. On the hillside, there are occasionally tourists who go out for a walk, and there are also three or five companions who come to visit with spring outings. It is that. I saw that the green mountains are so charming, and I guess that the green mountains should be like this when I saw me.

When I arrived in Qingshan Town, it was the early morning of the second day. Last night I rode a horse and walked at night and didn't sleep all night. When I arrived in Qingshan Town, I saw smoke rising from the cooking stove in the town, chickens and dogs barking everywhere, which was peaceful and stable. There was a noodle shop on the town, making some rice porridge, clear water noodles, etc.

Qingshan Town is very small, and people rarely eat outside. There is no decent restaurant here, and there is no such thing as a small shop. There is a bridle hanging at the door, which means to open the door to welcome guests. I ordered a bowl of white water noodles with a few chopped green onions on it. It smells good, but I don’t have the slightest desire to eat.

The boss and the boss lady are about fifty or sixty years old, and they look honest. I bought their things, but I actually wanted to take the opportunity to get some useful news. I picked up a few bites of noodles with chopsticks and put them down. The boss lady asked, "Why, young man, the plain noodles are not as good as the taste? We are a small place like our countryside, which is not as good as those from Jinling City. Please take more burdens."

I smiled bitterly and said that the noodles are delicious, but I have no appetite. By the way, boss lady, can I ask you for personal information? The boss lady said, "Who is asking for information?" I have lived in Qingshan for a lifetime. As long as it is Qingshan Town, I will definitely know.

I asked, is there a family named Xie in Qingshan Town?

The old lady said, "You are talking about Xie Saner tofu? There is only one in Qingshan Town who is surnamed Xie. He lives in the east end of the village. This kid is ignorant and is addicted to gambling. At least he can make good tofu and can barely make a living. He heard that he was a distant relative of the Xie family in Jinling, but...

I asked, but what?

The old lady said, it seems that they have encountered something recently. Three months ago, a girl came to Xie Saner's house. This girl, I'll tell you, I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my whole life. She is like a fairy in the New Year pictures. It is said that she is a lady from a wealthy family. Something happened at home, she was implicated and sent here.

I was anxious and asked, what is the girl's name?

The old lady glanced at me and said, "Look, you're so anxious. It seems that there is a name that is too difficult to pronounce. Anyway, everyone in the village calls her thank Erniuer. When this Erniu girl comes, all the young men in our Qingshan Town will be in the same way as you!"

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Mother-in-law, please continue."

The old lady sighed. It was not easy to talk about this girl. Xie San's wife, Mrs. Hu, is not a good wife in our Qingshan Town, but a famous female yaksha. Since the arrival of the second girl, Mrs. Hu has made things difficult for her everywhere, and the whole tofu shop at home has become her own life. What a great girl, the young lady who used to be unscathed with her fingers, now she picks beans at night, grinds beans in the morning, and sells tofu during the day, and even I can't stand it anymore.

Not long ago, a rich man from Liu passed by Qingshan Town and fell in love with Miss Erniu. He took advantage of Xie San'ai's gambling problem and made a game, causing Xie San to lose 300 taels of silver. Xie San could not pay it back. Liu Cai mainly used Miss Erniu to pay off the debt. It seems that he is coming to marry Erniu today.

At this moment, there was a sound of playing and singing, gongs, drums and suona, and a group of people came from here. In the center was a sedan chair, led by a fat and big eared middle-aged man with flesh on his face, and the greasiness on his face was reflected.

Seeing this, a group of boys surrounded the convoy. When the fat man waved his hand, a servant sprinkled some candy out, which caused the boys to rob them. The fat man laughed. The old woman said, "This fat man is Master Liu, and he is here to welcome the bride today."

At this moment, I had no intention of eating again, put a piece of silver, got up and left.

The old woman said that a bowl of plain noodles cannot use so much money, which is impossible.

I said you should accept it, just treat it as the money to talk to me. I stood up, copied the iron sword in my hand, and walked towards the east of the village.

According to local customs, when the wedding party came to the wedding party, we had to beat drums and drums and circle the village three times. This was to tell the villagers that they would take away the girl from a certain family. Therefore, when I arrived at Xiesan Tofu House in the east of the village, the wedding party was still in circles.

I saw Xie Junyan at a glance. She was standing in front of the chopping board. There were a few pieces of tofu on the table. In front of the tofu shop, five or six villagers were queuing up to buy tofu, and among them, there were also young men in the village, whose eyes kept floating around her.

Xie Junyan was holding a long sword made of bamboo in his hand and was cutting tofu for those waiting in line.

Tofu is made of brine. Good tofu is generally not cut with an iron knife. One is that it is easy to rust the knife, and the other is that iron can destroy the nutrients of the tofu, so it is generally cut into a piece of long bamboo to make a bamboo knife, which is just right to cut tofu.

Xie Junyan is very skilled in cutting tofu, and he is obviously already familiar with it.

Next to him was a middle-aged woman, with her hands on her thigh, without a skirt, and her feet spread out, which felt very much like the tofu Xishi in "Hometown". She pointed at Xie Junyan and said, "Mr. Liu likes you, and from now on, she enjoys you and drinks spicy food with him. That is the blessing you have cultivated in eight lifetimes. Don't give you shamelessness."

While Xie Junyan packed tofu for someone, he collected money and ignored Hu's words.

This made Mrs. Hu very embarrassed. She said to Xie Sandao, who was squatting at the door. You said something about Mr. Liu's sedan chair was praising the streets. It took less than half an hour to come. Look at your cousin, you haven't washed your head and changed your wedding clothes. You just ran here to sell tofu early in the morning. Why is it so worry-free?

Xie Sanyi saw that he was afraid of his wife. He came to Xie Junyan and said, "My dear niece, Uncle San knew that you had been rich and frugal since childhood. It was a grievance for you to marry Mr. Liu. But your father left, our Xie family is not the Xie family before. You should feel sorry for Uncle San, are you obedient?

Xie Junyan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands and said, "Uncle San, there are four pieces of tofu."

Seeing that Xie Junyan was so mean, Mrs. Hu hurriedly said softly, "Girl, it's not that you are a aunt who is embarrassed. Your third uncle owes Mr. Liu money. If you can't get over, Mr. Liu will make someone beat your third uncle to death. Please beg you as an aunt."

At that time, a few people wearing flowery clothes and walking over with their shoes. Seeing this, a few people who bought tofu quickly made it. The leader said, "Miss Erniu, you are selling tofu today."

Xie Junyan nodded, there are still four more pieces, how many do you want?

That thug said, I heard that today the rich man from Dongcun came to marry you as a concubine. I am very worthwhile to marry that idiot fat man. Instead of marrying that fool, it is better to go with my brother. How about it, as long as you nod, I will deal with him with you.

I took a deep breath and walked over from the side, saying, "Let's go, please cut me into pieces of tofu."
