hunter's daughter-in-law

After driving for a long time, at night, the two went to bed early to rest.

Waking up early the next day, Zhang Jin felt full of energy and strength because of the good rest.I found out from Xiaoer yesterday that there is a Zhuangzi not far from here. The owner of the Zhuangzi is an old man. Not only does he grow grapes well, but the grape seedlings he cultivates are even better than other people's.Every year, many people come to buy grape seedlings from him.

Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong also had the same purpose, so they got up early, and after breakfast, they drove the carriage to the address given by Xiaoer.

After asking several passers-by on the road, they found this Zhuangzi.

This village occupies a large area, but it is a typical farmhouse style. The yellow wall is piled up with mud, and the height is about to reach the chest of an adult man.The house looks solid, also yellow, with a thick thatched roof.The first impression it gives people is that it is very simple.

The two stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Zhang Jin yelled a few words in a row, and then there was a response from inside.

"Who?"

A wrinkled old man opened the courtyard door.From the appearance, he is about 65 years old, with dark skin and strong bones.

"Hello, old man, do you sell grape seedlings here?" Zhang Jin asked.

The old man frowned when he heard the words, "Come to buy at this time?"

"What's the matter? Can't it?"

"It's not impossible, you've never grown grapes before, right?" The old man let the two into the yard.

Zhang Jin smiled embarrassedly, "To tell you the truth, the two of us really don't know anything about growing grapes."

"Forget it, come with me. It just so happens that I still have a batch of seedlings here. If you are planting them yourself, then find someone who knows how to take care of them, and don't spoil the seedlings."

The old man is an enthusiastic person. Knowing that the two of them don't understand anything, he told them a lot of common sense about grape planting, and told them many times not to spoil the saplings.

Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong listened carefully, and finally nodded.

After looking at the garden, the old man said to them, "Don't worry, these are good seedlings. I, old man Wang, have been selling grape seedlings for so many years and have never cheated anyone."

Yuan Hong told Old Man Wang about their situation and the area they needed to plant. Because they were completely unfamiliar with this aspect, Yuan Hong and the others didn't know how many seedlings to buy.After listening to Yuan Hong's narration, old man Wang gave a number.

"According to what you said, such a large number of grape seedlings is enough. Your Chang'an Town is far away from here. If you believe me, I will recommend someone to you. He can help you take care of these seedlings along the way, and he can also guide you how to kind."

"That's really great. We need such a person. I'm really grateful." Zhang Jin said.

After the matter of buying seedlings was settled, Zhang Jinyuanhong and the old man agreed to come and pick them up in three days. In addition, the person recommended by the lazy man would also be waiting for them here.

After finishing, Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong went to the inn.

After eating, Zhang Jin couldn't stay still.When I came here, I happened to meet a temple fair, which was an ancient temple fair, not to mention how novel it is.

This temple fair is also held during the day, but the most exciting show is at night.According to Xiaoer, it was set up to commemorate a very famous talent in Lingang County.

It is now noon, Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong stopped and stopped along the way, and it took about half an hour to arrive at the venue.

The temple fair is held near the famous Dragon Temple here.Everyone who comes to the temple fair will go to the Dragon God Temple to worship, especially the people from Lingang County. They pay special attention to this time of year. After holding the temple fair for so many years, it has developed another meaning, that is blind date. !

Like some Lantern Festivals, whenever this time comes, people who are suitable for starting a family will come to the temple fair to try to find their other half.Or for those who already have their own hearts, this temple fair is also a good place for dating.

Not to mention, I don't know how many couples of gods and gods have been gathered in the temple fair over the years.

The first stop of the two is the Dragon Temple.

The incense in the temple is very strong, and many people still come to worship at noon.Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong followed the crowd into the temple. First, they went into the temple to worship and pray for blessings, and then they came to the famous Dragon Spring in the temple.

This Longshen Spring is well-known in Lingang County. It is rumored that as long as you drink Longquan water, you can wash away the filth in your body and live a long life. Moreover, this water is drunk by gods. Luck.

I saw that the Dragon God Spring was located at the back of the temple. In addition, there was a lifelike and majestic dragon statue in the spring. Coupled with the environment of the temple, people felt a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong imitated others, and took some spring water with a ladle to drink. The taste is no different from ordinary water, but the solemn expression on the face of everyone who drinks the water is like drinking the fine nectar brewed by the Queen Mother. generally.

After everyone drinks the water, they will bow to the dragon in the spring.

"Thank you Dragon God for blessing!"

After coming out of the Dragon Temple, the two wandered casually to the lively place.

After enjoying the stilt show and juggling, Zhang Jin took Yuan Hong to a stall.There were seven people lined up in front of the stall,

He enthusiastically untied the Nine Chains in his hand.

Some people move quickly, but there are also some people who are completely clueless, and the more they understand, the more chaotic they become.Finally, the stall owner announced, "It's time!"

No one finished it.One of them was still a few steps away, but the time was up, everyone felt sorry for him, and he was very annoyed, "Do it again!"

The stall owner smiled and said: "Yes, yes, anyone else wants to try?"

"How is this played?" Zhang Jin asked.

"As long as you untie the Nine Links within the specified time, then you can choose from my stall. However, you need to pay 5 Wen for each challenge."

"Okay, I'll try." Zhang Jin picked up one of the nine rings.Upon seeing this, Yuan Hong paid the money to

Some of the things on the stalls are indeed good things, as if the stall owner believes that no one can untie them within the specified time.Among them was a piece of ginseng. Although the age did not seem to be long, the price was still not cheap.

During this period, Zhang Jin's fingers were flying at a dizzying speed.The onlookers gasped in admiration on the spot. The one who failed the challenge just now couldn't help but stop and continue to untie the Nine Links. Instead, he stared at Zhang Jin's movement in a daze, and didn't close his mouth for a long time.

The stall owner's face became more and more ugly as time passed. At this rate, Zhang Jin will definitely succeed.

"It's untied! It's actually untied!!" Someone in the crowd shouted, full of disbelief.

"My God, it's so difficult! This is the first one to solve it! I thought no one could finish it in such a short time!"

Zhang Jin handed the untied Jiulianhuan to the stall owner, "I can choose the prize now."

The stall owner reluctantly nodded, eyes glued to the ginseng, reluctant to leave.

However, Zhang Jin is not interested in ginseng.He picked up a dagger in front of him, pulled it out of the sheath, and a cold light flashed.Judging from its appearance, this dagger is very old, but the workmanship is very fine.I don't know where the vendor got it from.

"Here, do you like it?" Zhang Jin handed it to Yuan Hong.

The latter curled his lips, "I like it."

The stall owner looked at the back of the two leaving without tears. Although the ginseng was not taken away and the dagger didn't cost him a penny, it didn't look cheap.No one could solve it in previous years, so why is it so unlucky this year? What a mistake!If I had known earlier, I would not have displayed the valuables.

Yuan Hong treasured the gift Zhang Jin gave him, and never took it down.

Going forward, the two came to a food stall.Because they were all a little thirsty, they each asked for a portion of tofu flower.

"By the way, I forgot that our family harvested a lot of soybeans." When Zhang Jin saw the tofu flower, he thought of the beans he had forgotten.After buying the field, he specially asked Yuan Hong to plant soybeans.Because he likes to drink soy milk, and there are very few soy products here, if it is produced, the prospect is very good.However, due to the birth of a child and a series of subsequent events, I forgot about the beans in this village.

"What's the matter? If you like tofu flower, just go back and ask Yuan Zheng and the others to grind it out." Yuan Hong said.

"Soy beans have other uses. Grind them into soy milk with a little sugar. It's suitable for drinking in the morning. When you get home, I'll grind it for you to drink. In addition to soy milk, it can also be made into many other delicious things."

Yuan Hong smiled and listened to Zhang Jin talking about the benefits of soybeans, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"By the way, let's play with this." Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong came to a stall with rings. "That little wooden horse looks very fun. If you get it, it will be a toy for Ozawa."

Yuan Hong followed Zhang Jin's line of sight and saw a small wooden horse standing among the neatly arranged prizes.

"Okay, let's put it back."

Yuan Hong bought ten circles from the stall owner, one penny a penny, and gave all of them to Zhang Jin for him to try.After Zhang Jin took it, she threw 5 hoops in a row and didn't catch any of them. Obviously, sometimes she was about to be caught, but she bounced out again.

"Forget it, you can do the rest." The controller handed the circle to Yuan Hong with a little frustration.

"You play for a while, anyway, it's not enough for us to buy."

Zhang Jin heard the words and played a few more times.Finally caught a rattle on the eighth throw. "I didn't expect that luck was pretty good, and I got a rattle far away."

Zhang Jin held it in his hand, shook it, and then there was a booming sound.

"Ozawa will definitely like it." Yuan Hong said.

"Well, then you can come to the remaining two." Zhang Jin smiled and handed the last two circles to Yuan Hong.

This time Yuan Hong didn't refuse. He stood in front of the drawn line, aimed at the small wooden horse, and the circle came out of his hand, drawing a beautiful arc. Zhang Jin's eyes flew past the circle, and finally , it caught the little Trojan horse and stopped moving.

"Ah! The set is here!" Zhang Jin was very happy, and now Ozawa had another toy.

After a while, Yuan Hong caught another wooden puppet doll, put away the three toys, and the two continued to stroll around.

At this time, it was already dark, and the highlight of the temple fair was about to begin.

The "Poetry Contest" is said to be held once a year in Lingang County.The person who wins the first prize will have a bonus of 50 taels of silver, and his knowledge will be recognized by the people of Lingang County, and will also be respected and admired by them.

Because of this, Lin Gang County has produced many famous talents.Most of them were once the winners of the "Poetry Contest".Therefore, the number of people participating in the "Poetry Contest" every year is countless. You can sign up for the "Poetry Contest" as long as you want, and there is no geographical restriction at all.

This year, as usual, many talented scholars from other places came to participate.

As for how to choose No.1, it is up to the people who come to the temple fair to decide.As long as you can read and understand poetry, you have the right to vote and choose the one you think is the best.
