Chapter 57 Humiliation
After Moyan Painting Square left, Lin Yi passed through the ancient street and came to Liaocheng Street, which had passed twice before. Due to the long stay in the painting workshop, Lin Yi came out late and was approaching dusk.
The twilight began to fall gradually from the sky, and the sunset on the west side began to glow golden yellow. A gentle breath rushed directly with the sunset and shone on the whole bustling Liao city.
Liaocheng is a lively city, not only with a wide area, but also a sufficient population flow. The street is bustling with passengers and traffic. Lin Yi walks in the middle of the street. From time to time, he looks at the customers in the restaurant and inn who are busy eating and drinking spicy food and raising their glasses to drink together.
Looking at it, you can feel that the hunger in your abdomen is constantly coming. Lin Yi touched his stomach and frowned helplessly.
First of all, I think of Run'an's barbecue, because the grilled meat is so delicious. The fresh meat roasted by the fire is not only just right, but also the greasy degree after roasting is impeccable. However, he is now wandering alone on the street, so that he can't eat barbecue.
So, Lin Yi stopped to think for a while, and suddenly walked away from the direction of leaving the city, walked past the pawnshop where he changed Dan in the morning, crossed a small street in Liaocheng, jumped over an ancient alley in Liaocheng, and came to the noodle stall he had eaten yesterday.
The kind aunt was still eating noodles, and there was a strong green smell around. Lin Yi, regardless of the eyes of the customers around him, walked into the stall and said to his aunt with a smile, "Good aunt, cook a bowl of noodles for the boy!"
When the aunt heard someone shouting, she looked up at the speaker. The young camel in front of her was a little familiar, which was the aunt's first intuition. Then she took a closer look and remembered that the person in front of her was the teenager who ate seven bowls of noodles at his noodle stall yesterday.
In my aunt's opinion, today's Lin Yi will undoubtedly look very different from yesterday, as if he had changed.
This is indeed the case. Lin Yi, dressed in new clothes, faded yesterday's embarrassment, and the scattered hair on his head was firmly coiled by wooden hairpins. He looked neat and dy, and his whole temperament seemed to have changed.
A rare curvature flashed from the corners of his mouth, and a faint smile. His clean face was quite clear and beautiful. He looked like a good child. When the aunt saw him coming to eat noodles, her simple face also smiled and said, "It turned out to be a young man. You can find a seat to sit down. I'll get some noodles with you. Eat."
Lin Yi was very happy to hear this and said, "Then there will be an aunt!"
Like what happened yesterday, Lin Yi sat in the position he had been sitting yesterday. He looked straight at the people on the street, but no rich man came here to eat noodles, even if his aunt's noodles were really delicious.
Rich people use good wine and food, eat delicacies, eat abalone bear paws, and drink old cellars, so they look down on these simple noodle stalls, and after all, there is a hierarchy in the world. If there is an empire, there will be kings. Under the kings, there will be officials and eunuchs.
Ordinary people are reluctant to spend money to eat and drink spicy food in restaurants. Rich people can't afford to eat noodles at stalls. Lin Yi has enough money in his storage bag to eat delicious and spicy food, but he likes to sit on the street and eat egg noodles that civilians like to eat.
Lin Yi's wealth is indeed not rich, and he even says that he has no home in the world, but this does not mean that he will lack money. He still has more than 500 taels of silver, which is enough for him to squander for a while, but he is a practitioner, so he is indifferent to fame and wealth and does not attach as much importance to gold and silver as ordinary people.
For hungry people, food that can fill their stomachs is the best, even if it is just a cold hard steamed bun.
Lin Yi is a person who was hungry yesterday, so he knows that the food in the world is actually the same, but it is a must to fill the abdominal muscles. There are good and bad food, but there is absolutely no noble or lowly. Lin Yi never thought that there would be any difference between these, and he was very simple, a typical modern rural man, and insisted on a good style of diligence and thrift.
After a while, my aunt brought a large bowl of noodles from the stall. The noodles in the bowl are white, the soup is a little yellow, and a light layer of oil rings float on the noodle soup, covering most of the hot air and having a heat preservation effect.
The aunt specially put more chopped green onions and green vegetables leaves in the noodle bowl, including two fried golden eggs, making the whole bowl of noodles look richer and delicious. Lin Yi was very moved to meet the rich bowl, but at this moment, he couldn't help the aroma of noodles in the bowl and the hunger brought by his stomach, so he still just hurriedly thanked him in his mouth, smelled the hot egg noodles with his nose, and praised the craftsmanship under his aunt from the bottom of his heart.
He said, "The noodles cooked by my aunt are really delicious, really delicious!" When the aunt heard Lin Yi's praise, she smiled. Her callous hands were covered with noodles, and she looked more and more dexterous and quickly.
Lin Yi reached out and picked up the bamboo chopsticks inserted upside down on the bamboo tube of the wooden table, put white noodles into his mouth, and then bit the golden fried egg fiercely. The yellow egg yolk smell dispersed from his mouth, and the crisp taste was still as authentic as in his memory, coupled with the fragrance of green onions and the sweet and tender juice of green vegetable leaves. Lin Yi felt very satisfied and ate it happily.
The noodles are always good, but people are not all good people. Lin Yi buried himself in eating egg noodles, and a group of middle-aged people came from afar. Among them, there are several men with big knives, almost all full of beards and rough-looking, and in their gruous eyes, you can find that there is a cold light of three feet of freezing, which makes people afraid.
When the customers around eating noodles and drinking light tea saw the group of men gradually approaching the noodle stall, they immediately stood up. Even the customers who had just sat down to eat noodles had to stop their chopsticks after seeing this group of cruel people.
The customers hurried to the noodle stall, handed in some broken silver to the aunt's hand, and walked away without looking back. They seem to be very afraid of this group of people with swords, and these people do not look friendly and even look like horse thieves, but they don't ride horses, so they call them horse thieves, but they seem a little far-fetched.
The aunt on the noodle stall was always eating noodles and did not care about these cruel people coming towards her. Lin Yi sat on a wooden table closest to the wall and ate delicious noodles without any scruples.
"Oh! Isn't this the aunt next door? Why hasn't your man come to set up this stall with you today? In the crowd, one of them saw the aunt below shouting, and her face was full of casualness.
"Yes, I remember that." The man touched his head and seemed to have something sounded. He continued to say, "Last month, your family did not give enough silver for the scar, so your man was beaten by the scar. It seems that he was really beaten very hard. I don't know if a month later, the man in your aunt's family's injury is better?"
Hearing that the other party began to chatter, the aunt knew that the other party's heart was short of horns, and then just smiled faintly, still acting so simple and simple. She answered, "It's not for you two tigers to bother. My man was already alive half a month ago, and now he is planting vegetables at home!"
"Oh? Really? This is really a very rare good thing! It's a pity that this month is coming again. I don't know if my aunt has enough money to prepare? If not, the scar is fierce. Maybe you have to find trouble with your man. Hey, don't hurt your legs and feet again!" The middle-aged man sighed and shook his head, which seemed to be very regretful.
"Why does Erhuzi care about his wife like this? A few days ago, I seemed to see your daughter-in-law drilling into the back door of a large mansion!" The aunt said. Hey, you said that people are also true. It is said that women marry chickens and dogs, but why does your daughter-in-law accompany the bosses happily during the day and come to honor you at night?
"You... you mother-in-law, do you want to die?" Hearing the aunt's sarcastic words, Erhuzi raised the knife in his hand and pointed it at the aunt and said angrily.
The beauty of Erhuzi's daughter-in-law is extremely clear to all four of his neighbors. Moreover, she is countless younger than Erhuzi. She is a woman that Erhuzi snatched back from other places. Therefore, it is also quite eye-catching for the men of rich families on weekdays.
In Erhuzi's heart, he had already known about his daughter-in-law's corruption in the dark, but as time went on, Erhuzi found that his daughter-in-law could always come back with a lot of silver after accompanying the rich son, which made him secretly happy.
The second tiger is very rich, and he is usually unable to manage farmland, so he can only rely on robing his family and house to make some money. But now it's different. Since he can get a lot of money from his daughter-in-law, he can work less and get a lot of money he can get with his life.
So, naturally, Erhuzi began to turn a blind eye to his daughter-in-law's cheating, and even in the end, Erhuzi completely regarded his mother-in-law as a tool to earn money. Because he only loves white silver, he doesn't even worry about his woman at all.
But even so, he also has the most taboo, that is, although his mother-in-law has been blatantly having sex with others, he does not want to be raised by others.
Because this reputation is very stinky, very stinky and stinky, even more than his reputation for robbing his family.
At this moment, the aunt just touched his heart disease and used his daughter-in-law's cheating to satirize him, so his hot temper suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart and raised the knife in his hand to threaten his aunt, like an angry lion. Unfortunately, after decades of history, my aunt is not afraid of his intimidation.
However, she just laughed coldly. Aunt fully reflected that someone had stepped into humiliation from the beginning, and then she began to make noodles and ignored it directly.
