The roots, stems, flowers and skins of hibiscus mutabilis can be used as medicine. Lotus seeds are attached to water hibiscus, even his emerald gong is round, covered with the hypertrophy leaves of the lake, which can also make dragonflies stand on their feet, frogs look forward to it, and dewdrops are dripping;
Take it off, and give it to the porter who travels far away, his wife with lotus leaves, to cover the business burden of small traders, to cover the bamboo baskets of women who go to the market, and to make straw hats for cowboys ... Everything is different. Rivers, streams and small towns are named "Furong River", "Yuyexi" and "furong town".
The streets in furong town are not big. A dozen shops and dozens of families were tightly sandwiched by a bluestone poplar flower shop. The shops were crowded, and one person cooked dog meat, and the streets were full of fragrance. As a result, everyone in the neighborhood knew who tripped, broke his tooth and hit the bowl. Even the private chat at my sister's house and the flirting of young lovers are often heard by the neighbors next door and passed down as the secret of a town. Occasionally, a brother fights internally, and the husband and wife fight, and the whole street will stir up. People will run around and persuade each other, just like a flock of ducks frightened in the river, which can't be calm for a long time.
On the day when it is not fair, residents on both sides of the street will take out long bamboo poles from their attics and go to the attic across the street to dry all the cloth: clothes, pants, skirts and quilts. The mountain wind blows, but I see the "ten thousand national flags" floating across the streets, red and green, varied. Coupled with a string of red peppers hanging under various eaves, a string of golden corn seeds, and all the wax gourd, two colorful inclusions are formed ... People pass below, chickens crow below, cats and dogs scurry below, which is unique and another scene.
At four o'clock a year, the residents of the town talk about their popularity and have the habit of giving each other food. On the third day of the third lunar month, the Qingming flower buds are ripe; On April 8, rice noodles and meat are steamed; Dragon Boat Festival in May, making zongzi and drinking realgar wine; On June 6, pears and melons in the yard ripened early; On July 7, the early rice was first tasted; Mid-Autumn Festival in August, making earth moon cakes at home; On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, persimmon trees are planted; On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people marry their daughters; On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, "lab but one" is made by clever daughters-in-law with various ingredients, with different styles and tastes. They are most willing to praise their neighbors after tasting, just like holding a folk non-staple food exhibition in the dark, which compares color, fragrance and taste. Even on ordinary days, whoever eats a meat with eyeballs and claws must not forget to give the baby next door three pieces and two pieces, so that the baby can go home happily and show off the harvest in the bowl to his parents. After dinner, the mother will bring the baby over for a sit-in. Although she is joking, she looks totally grateful. Furong town is a small street with few residents, but it is a market full of people every day.
The main location of the market is not in Qingshiban Street, but in Tu Ping, which is 20 or 30 mu square by the river behind the street. In the old society, there were two rows of stone pillars supporting beams, green tiles covering the roof and long pavilions with empty sides. Opposite the pavilion, stands an ancient stage with mottled oil paintings. In the early days of liberation, the fair period followed the old practice, with three performances every ten days and nine episodes in January on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Wednesdays. Three provinces and eighteen counties, Han merchants, Yao merchants, pharmacists and Zhuang traders all gathered here for trade. Pig bull market, vegetables and fruits, mushrooms and fungus, sea cucumbers and foreign fabrics, daily necessities, food stalls ... The streets are crowded with people, bustling and bustling. If you stand on the back hillside and look down, you will see a headscarf, handkerchief and straw hat in sunny days, and a cloak, paper umbrella and cloth umbrella in rainy days. People don't walk on the ground, but float on the lake. From selling cold water to being a dental marketer, many people rely on this market to make a living. It is said that some poor people in the town made a fortune by collecting pig manure ... In recent years, it was not a famous pig market in furong town, but a tofu stall opened by Hu in this town. Hu is a young woman in her mid-twenties. Guests who come to her stall and squat to eat a bowl of rice tofu for dessert are used to calling her "Sister Mei Rong". And those playful characters, call her "Lotus Fairy". Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say that she is a fairy. But Hu has black eyebrows and big eyes like a full moon.
The body is emotional, but it is obvious to businesses in the past. Her hospitality is warm, her temperament is supple, and her hands are neat. Whether she is familiar with it or not, whether she is dressed well or not, she smiles and says, "Another bowl? Add a spoonful of soup and dry your mouth? " "Come on, let's meet at the next fair!" In addition, her tableware is very clean, the rice tofu is full, the seasoning is very spicy, and the oil and water are thicker than the stalls next to it. Add a bowl of soup casually, so there are always guests in front of her booth.
"buying and selling, and making money." "Buyers, buyers, parents." This is the "tutor" that Hu got from his parents. It is said that her mother eloped with a young man to a mountain city on the border of this province in her early years, and opened a couple's inn anonymously, which was very popular with former businessmen. The couple were over forty years old and burned incense to worship Buddha before giving birth to their only daughter Hu. "Jade sound, jade sound" is the meaning given by the merciful Guanyin mother. We have been rushing to the market to sell rice tofu for almost two years. I'm a little embarrassed to say it. Hu started from selling bamboo baskets and bran vegetables, and gradually transitioned to selling fern powder Baba and potato powder Baba, and developed into a rice tofu stall. She didn't inherit anything from her ancestors, but the bitter days of hunger taught her the ability to make a living.
