【】Chapter 9 【Part 10】
After saying something off topic, press not to mention:
[Look at this side. Commercial area restaurants, Jiang'an Dacheng. March 1920]
After eating, I asked the shopkeeper:
【Go out for a walk, go straight to 1 pastry shop】
Shop Chinese style, disassemble the door panel. Go in and the wooden frame counter is inlaid with glass:
[It is indeed rare to use glass on that street. The shopkeeper is very simple, in his 40s. He has a satin melon leather hat and a cotton cloth gown. The type of crosstalk stage is commonly called a 'coat' in the north. The warm style in winter, regardless of north or south, the streets were all over 1920]
Various pastries on the counter are colorful and eye-catching:
[Randomly speaking, imitate Western pastries and combine Chinese flavors. Use a lot of candied fruits and butter accessories. It is not margarine, pure natural]
In 1920, I sold pastries, wrapped in yellow food paper,
[The top is covered with red paper. The name of the paper-based business name, and finally a straw rope is tied]
This home uses rare carton. In 1920 levels:
[It is considered a beautiful pattern, and the name of the business name. If you look at the pastry, the prices will naturally be different]
Zong Xiaowei paid 5 silver dollars straight, please ask:
【Pack a few boxes of pastries, big ones. Visit elders, thank you】
It's really rare to buyers so happily:
[The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and beat Qian, and arranged it himself]
That's so thoughtful and carefully selected:
【Even if there is a missing corner, if there is a slag, skip it immediately】
Zong Xiaowei was so happy that he asked the shopkeeper:
[Just one comment: The thing is really good. If it is good, it should be expensive. Sir, you will definitely be able to afford it]
After a glance, my younger generation has never seen it before:
[Home is in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River province, I have eaten all local pastries. I have never seen it so beautiful]
The young man sincerely asked:
【This snack...is it local, many people eat it]
The shopkeeper paused and replied:
[Sir, you come to do business in the north... Let's be honest, most people really can't bear to leave... If it's cheap, it's everywhere, right... Sometimes, take the kids here and buy some and eat them back, and it's good to eat them]
The accent of the young generation comes from a gentleman in the school:
[Graduated from a university in the north, very elegant. Through the introduction, he was hired as a teacher in the school. The teacher admired Zong Xiaowei very much and told many heroic stories from all generations. He told me bluntly: If you are born with iron bones, you will definitely do something in the future.
I am so impressed by the thoughts. The younger generation admires all the same things and often discusses with the husband. Over time, even his accent is close to the husband. The younger generation's parents are from the southern coast, and they only speak their ancestral dialect to their parents at home. When they go out, they speak Mandarin without an accent]
After saying something off topic, press not to mention:
【Look at this box, pastry shop】
Of course Zong Xiaowei understood, without any unnecessary feelings:
[Take another silver dollar: Just let it fill another box, leave it on the counter. Bring your own 5 boxes to see your relatives first, and come back to get it]
6 silver dollars to buy pastries. Living standard in 1920:
[Ordinary people are indeed rare. The shopkeeper sighed: You are a kind person... I have many relatives, and I have received help from us. I haven't seen anyone, so I want to see me]
Zong Xiaowei listened silently, thinking:
【Carry 5 boxes of pastries, turn around and go out】
Who should I see? My uncle:
[Mr. Shi Kuoyang, born in 1879. He got married at the age of 17. In 1908, he fought pirates and joined the war. In the same year, he went to Jiang'an Dacheng to do business. Local figures]
Shi Kuoyang has 3 daughters:
[The eldest daughter, born in 1897, the second daughter, born in 1900, the third daughter, born in 1904]
Shi Kuoyang's real sister, Shi Epi:
[Born in 1882. He got married at the age of 17. Zong Xiaowei's mother]
Let’s talk about it in 1912, Shi E-Gao brought his son to Jiangan:
[It's just to visit my brother. To borrow the words of the shopkeeper of the pastry shop: There are many relatives and friends, not everyone remembers themselves. People's hearts need a feeling, or love. My sister Shi E-grao also understands family affection. Shi Kuoyang's temperament is of course remembered in her heart]
Let’s talk about 1920. Two days ago, we welcomed Zong Xiaowei to dinner:
[Shi Kuoyang's eldest daughter, 23 years old. She is married and has been entertained by her cousin at home. The eldest daughter's husband is respectfully called "Brother-in-law"]
I said before that the chess and card games at the door are still hanging lights:
[Shi Kuoyang's business name, a bustling commercial area in the local area. Not far from the restaurant, just walk]
After saying something off topic, press not to mention:
[Look at this box, Shi Kuoyang's business name]
The nephew came to visit him in person, and the uncle was very happy:
[Sit down to the store and have some greetings. Let the guy see the store and immediately bring Housheng high-end restaurant and have a good meal. Housheng smiled and said that he had come after he had eaten. Just sit and talk and drink tea]
I've heard about the chess and card game at the entrance of the store, and it was so lively:
[Today I see that it is indeed worthy of reputation. There are fans at the door, cheering, feeling, nonsense, anxious, and giving tricks. There are even holding a bowl and eating while getting angry. Seeing which one of them makes the wrong move, I immediately grab the dishes and chopsticks with one hand. I draw talismans out of thin air with my other hand, spraying rice grains all over my mouth, and frothing with my mouth. I'm even more anxious than those who play chess]
Let's see who is troubled and decide that he is a bad game:
