Chapter 92
Song Jingzhou picked four or five lotus pods as big as ceramic bowls and was climbing up.
From a distance, I saw a man dressed as a farmer rushing towards us with a carrying pole in his hand.
"It's over, it's over, run."
Su Qingci threw two dimes on the ground, grabbed Song Jingzhou and ran away.
"Stop! Who from the production team dares to steal lotus seeds from our team?"
"Stop right there~"
"I won't stand ~hahaha~"
……….
The alley at the entrance of the ancient street.
The two men and women, who were being chased and sweating, huddled under the eaves and stretched their heads out to look around in perfect sync.
Seeing that the man had been lost, they breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them looked at each other, one lowering their heads and the other looking up, and laughed out loud.
Su Qingci was not a lady to begin with, so she sat down on the ground, panting, and started peeling lotus seeds.
"Then Big Brother must be over 25, no."
"I haven't even caught up with this, hahahaha."
Song Jingzhou twitched his lips, feeling a little anxious.
"You're just showing off. If they catch you, you'll be taken to the police station."
"Then I'll have to ask the captain to come to the county to redeem him. That would be such a disgrace to me."
"Bullshit! I already paid. I put two dimes on the ridge between our upper and lower ponds."
"He'll be able to see it when he gets back later."
"I've only given you two cents, but you're forcing me to buy or sell. Besides, private transactions are not allowed now."
"I know, otherwise why would I run?"
Su Qingci calmly peeled a lotus seed and put it into her mouth.
Freshly picked lotus seeds are sweet and delicious, but they become a bit astringent if left overnight.
It might have been stolen, the smell was particularly fragrant.
Seeing that Su Qingci liked it, Song Jingzhou only tasted two of them and carefully peeled the rest for her.
After peeling one, he pulled Su Qingci's wrist and looked at it, "It's already so late."
"Well, you eat here first, and I'll ride my bike to see if I can get a chicken."
"Whether I can find it or not, I'll come find you in half an hour."
"If I can get it, I'll show you what Palace Overlord Chicken is tonight."
Su Qingci's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm starving after shopping all afternoon."
Song Jingzhou gave a few instructions, asking them not to run around, and then he rode away in a hurry.
After eating two lotus pods, Su Qingci looked at the house in front of him.
This is a house on the inner wall of the ancient street, and it looks quite old.
From the clothes hanging out to dry at the door, it can be seen that these houses are inhabited.
You can still see the faded colorful paintings on the beams, which shows that the owner of the house a hundred years ago was also a particular person.
Su Qingci's gaze slowly moved from the intricate carvings on the roof, the unfaded paintings, and the retro windows to the water tank at the door.
Then he was stunned.
She had seen this kind of jar in her previous life on a TV program called "Treasure Appraisal".
In ancient times, many people liked to put a tank at the door, plant lotus flowers and raise a few fish in it.
In addition to being very ornamental, it was also called "Menhai" at that time.
It means that if you open the sea in front of your door, money will come rolling in.
The jar in front of me has a blue and white appearance, a white porcelain bottom, and is underglaze red.
It is carved with lifelike auspicious clouds and dragon bodies, with intricate painting techniques.
There are bat patterns and circular patterns around the rim, which shows that it is an old thing.
At this time, it was just abandoned at the door, with a few broken wooden boards on top to store miscellaneous items.
Su Qingci walked forward and gently stroked the exquisite calligraphy and painting on it.
This one is even more beautiful than the one I saw on the treasure appraisal website.
Below the rim are printed a few small words in regular script: "Made in the Xuande Period of the Ming Dynasty".
Squeak~
A woman pushed open the door, leaned against the door frame, looked at Su Qingci curiously and asked.
"Daughter, what's the matter with you?"
Su Qingci withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
He stood up and smiled awkwardly, "The color of this tank is really beautiful. It will be very beautiful if used to grow flowers and fish."
The woman followed Su Qingci's finger, looked at the large vat where the sundries were stored, and said sarcastically.
"It's already late, and I can't even support myself, so how can I still have the energy to care for flowers and fish?"
Su Qingci saw two children, about three or four years old, standing at the other person's feet, staring at the lotus pod in her hand.
He quickly stepped forward and gave each of them one lotus pod.
"Oh my, my girl, this is so embarrassing."
"How can I take your things?"
"It's okay, it's okay, auntie, give it to the child."
"I just ate. Look, that." Su Qingci pointed to the lotus shells on the ground in the corner.
The woman should be the grandmother of the two children. She wanted to snatch the lotus pod and return it to Su Qingci.
Seeing his grandson holding the lotus pod like a treasure, he felt embarrassed.
He rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "Girl, if you like that jar, you can take it."
"It's useless to put it at the door anyway."
"It's too small to hold water, and it doesn't have a lid for pickling vegetables, so it takes up space in the house."
Su Qingci's eyes lit up. Is there such a good thing?
"I want it, I want it. I like it so much."
"It's beautiful. I can raise fish in my yard."
Reaching into her shoulder bag, Su Qingci used the bag as a cover to pull out a bag of meat buns packed by a state-owned restaurant.
The previous 20 meat buns were divided into two oil bags.
There are 10 in a bag.
"I don't want yours for nothing. I'll give it to you in exchange."
The meat buns were still slightly warm, and even the oil paper wrapping couldn't block out the fragrance.
Su Qingci pulled open a corner and let the other person take a look.
"It's a big meat bun from a state-owned restaurant."
The child swallowed and tugged at his grandmother's pants.
He raised his head and called out eagerly, "Grandma, it smells so good, Baoer misses Qi."
"Grandma, I miss Qi too."
The woman swallowed unconsciously, a struggle flashed in her eyes, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation.
He took the oil paper bag and held it in his arms.
He turned his head and looked left and right cautiously.
"My daughter, thank you. Just think of it as me taking advantage of you."
"It's useless to begin with, but I'm still trying to exchange it for such good food like yours."
"You can carry the jar away. If you can't move it, you can ask someone to move it."
As she spoke, the woman held the oil-paper bag in her arms and pulled the child back into the house with a nervous look on her face.
She was afraid that the little girl would regret it later.
Su Qingci breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to pick up the debris from the water tank.
"Auntie, I'm leaving."
After shouting, he didn't wait for the other party to respond and ran away quickly carrying the tank.
The woman in the house stood in front of the window and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Qingci carrying the jar away.
Once you take it, you can't go back on the deal.
Even if the other party brought it back, she would not acknowledge it.
I don't know which family raised this prodigal son, who would exchange such a bag of meat buns for a useless broken jar.
Su Qingci ran very fast carrying a jar, and deliberately went into remote alleys where there were no people.
After running for a while, he finally stopped.
Find an absolutely hidden position, observe the surroundings vigilantly, and when you see it is safe, take cover behind the earth wall.
Both the man and the tank entered the farm together.
Huh~
I didn't feel it when I was running, but now I feel the pain in my arms.
She didn't have time to look closely.
I took a rough look and found that the tank was more than 70 centimeters high and the diameter of the tank mouth was about 60 centimeters.
It weighs about 70 to 80 kilograms to carry.
Judging from the style, it should have been made in the Ming Dynasty.
Originally, Su Qingci was still worrying about where to get these antiques to increase the time of the space.
Today I have set a precedent for her. There are many old people like this in the countryside.
