Chapter 8 Sugar Man

"Stinky boy, although the "Sutra of Saving People" can resolve evil energy, it is not so fast, how did you do it?"

When the old Taoist was taking a nap just now, he suddenly felt that the heaven and earth energy seemed to have changed, and after opening his eyes, he found that all the evil energy in the courtyard had actually disappeared, which was a big surprise.

You must know that people who have been blessed by practice will have a particularly strong magnetic field on their bodies, and such people will have a particularly obvious impact on the surrounding magnetic field.

But Ye Tian is just a furry child, he has only been in contact with alchemy for a few years? To be able to eliminate the evil energy in such a short period of time is something that even the old Taoist himself cannot do.

After hearing the old Taoist priest's words, Ye Tian bit a candied haws bought by Sister-in-law Miao, and said vaguely: "How do I know? Master, this "Saving People" is quite useful......"

Ye Tian had made up his mind, no one could say this, maybe he would believe it if he told Lao Taoist, but if he told his father and classmates, it would definitely be considered a neurotic.

"Strange, really strange......"

Seeing Ye Tian, he couldn't say why, the old Taoist stroked his beard, and his face showed a puzzled look, but modern society is different from before, technology is prosperous, and many things are difficult to inferce, and the old Taoist is helpless.

Ye Tian was a child, and after sitting in the house for a while, he couldn't help but stand up and said, "Hey, Master, I went to the town to have a meeting, and I will come back when I have dinner in the evening......"

Maolu Town is dozens of miles away from the existence where Ye Tian lives, even if it is a New Year's holiday, he rarely comes here, if it weren't for eating other people's soft mouths, Ye Tian would have run to the town to play.

The old Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "Go, remember this portal, don't find a place when you come back......"

After getting the master's permission, Ye Tian ran out happily, and when he was about to go out, Sister-in-law Miao also stuffed Zhang Workers, Peasants and soldiers into his pocket, which almost made Ye Tianmei's snot bubble.

You must know that in these days, even when adults give New Year's money during the New Year's holidays in rural areas, it is just a brand new ticket of five cents.

And at this time, there are still 2 years left before the issuance of the fourth set of RMB in 88, and the face value of ten yuan is already the largest on the market.

So this worker, peasant soldier is simply an astronomical amount for Ye Tian, anyway, except for seeing such a "big" ticket in his father's hands, he has never touched it himself.

……

Generally, rural markets are the most lively in the morning, but this will be just after noon, there are still a lot of people, Ye Tian is not afraid of life, he heard the sound of gongs and drums in front of him, and squeezed in hard.

"Hey, monkey ......."

Relying on his small and agile body, Ye Tian squeezed into the crowd and found that it was an old man with three monkeys performing a show in the middle of the venue.

"Dear fathers and fellow villagers, those who have money hold a money field, those who don't have money support a person field, old man, I thank you all......"

After one of the monkeys rolled over a few times, the old man bowed his hands around, and the monkey immediately held an enamel jar with two paws and asked for money from the surrounding crowd.

Those who had money threw one and a half cents into the jar, and those who didn't had money stepped back.

The old Taoist priest once taught him that walking in the rivers and lakes has its own difficulties, and if you can help, you can help.

Fortunately, this market is not a trickster, after coming out of the monkey trick, Ye Tian got into a chest crushed stone to sell Shaolin Dali Pills and looked at it.

After walking around the market, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Ye Tian stopped at a sugar blower's stall at this time.

This stall is actually a pick, one end of the pick is a rectangular cabinet with a shelf, and there is a semi-circular opening wooden cage under the cabinet, which has a small charcoal stove and a large spoon on the stove, which is filled with sugar dilution.

The wooden frame is divided into two layers, each with many small jacks filled with already blown sugar figures.

The vendor used a small spatula to take a little hot sugar dilution, put it on a hand covered with talcum powder and rub it, then took a piece of it with his mouth, and after blowing it into a foam, he quickly placed it in a wooden mold coated with talcum powder, and blew it hard, and the sugar man he wanted was blown out.

The children around them were all watching eagerly, those who had money reached out to buy them, and those who had no money were also looking at them and were unwilling to leave.

This thing is not very expensive, a dime can make one according to his requirements, but Ye Tian stood for a long time, squeezed the ten yuan in his pocket, and decided to turn around and leave.

You must know that Ye Tian's father, as an educated youth who did not return to his hometown, married a local woman and had no land to plant at all.

Although Ye Dongping is a skilled man, not only can be an electrician, but also a carpenter, and often helps people make furniture, but he only earns one or two yuan a month at most.

Although Ye Dongping often caught some fish for his son to eat, in general, the father and son lived in poverty, and Ye Tian wanted to take the money home to his father.

Just as Ye Tian had just turned around, a shout suddenly came out of his ear: "Ye Tian, hey, is it really you? Why are you here?"

Ye Tian followed the reputation and found that on the other side of the sugar man stall, a little fat man about his age was waving his hand excitedly at him, and the electronic watch on his wrist was very conspicuous.

"Guo Xiaolong?"

Seeing this person, Ye Tian couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, the more he hid, the more he encountered something, with Guo Xiaolong's temperament, presumably after the start of school, he would dress up like this, and the whole school would know about it, right?

Guo Xiaolong had already come to him, pointed to an adult over there and said: "Ye Tian, that's my uncle, he came from the United States, I brought him to the market......"

Although Ye Tian had a good relationship with Guo Xiaolong in school, he was not that close, and he knew in his heart that this kid was looking for himself to show off, so he immediately slapped him and said, "Ah, it's good, Xiaolong, your electronic watch is so beautiful......"

"Of course, my uncle bought it, and the whole school is just me......" After Guo Xiaolong heard Ye Tian's words, his little chest straightened up again, raised his wrist in front of him, and pretended to look at the time above.

Ye Tian is a man of the hour in school, although he is mischievous, but his academic performance has always been the first.

"Xiaolong, who is this?"

The old man who was pointed at by Guo Xiaolong just now saw the junior talking to a little Taoist priest, and he was curious, so he also wandered to this side of the stall.

"Uncle, this is my classmate, Ye Tian......" Talking to this American uncle, Guo Xiaolong's voice couldn't help but lower a little.

"Oh, it's your classmate? Then why did you become a Taoist priest?"

The old man was a little curious, when he left his hometown, he was only in his teens, not a few years older than these two children, thirty or forty years have passed, and now after returning, he feels very kind to many things in his hometown.

"This ...... I don't know ......"

Guo Xiaolong scratched his head, looked at Ye Tian, and asked: "Ye Tian, why are you dressed like this? Did you really go to the mountains to be a Taoist priest?"

"I didn't become a Taoist priest, my master is the host of a Taoist temple on the mountain, and I accompanied my master down the mountain today, wearing this convenient ......" Ye Tian explained to Guo Xiaolong, he didn't want to wait until school started to be joked about this, how faceless it was.

"Alas, when the Maoshan Taoist Temple was burned by the RB people, I just started rebuilding it when I left the mainland, so I wanted to find time to take a look......"

After hearing Ye Tian's words, the old man sighed, with a faint sadness between his eyebrows, but then he laughed, what kind of emotion did he and the children feel, and immediately pointed to the stall and said: "Xiaolong, go, give a sugar man to your classmate......"

"No, thank you, grandpa, I don't want ......"

Although his family background is not very good, but following his master's old rivers and lakes, Ye Tian understood the truth of being greedy for small gains and suffering big losses.

"Take it, child, you can't shout in vain, grandpa bought it for you......" The old man laughed when he heard this, took a sugar man of Sun Wukong and handed it to Ye Tian.

This Sun Wukong's sugar man is a set, not only is the sugar man good-looking, but there is also a Jiang Rice bowl, and Sun Wukong's stomach has a lot of syrup in it.

When you don't want to play anymore, you can make a small hole in the monkey's buttocks to let the sugar flow out, and then use a rice bowl to eat, and eat it with the bowl with sugar.

Seeing Ye Tian's refusal, he said: "Ye Tian, uncle will give it to you, you can take it......"

Ye Tian really liked this grandson monkey sugar man, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, the elder gives it, I dare not refuse, thank you, grandpa!"

"Hehe, Xiaolong, you classmate is very polite......"

After hearing Ye Tian's words, the old man smiled and didn't care, there was only one Sun Monkey sugar man on the shelf, he paid the money for two sugar men, and then stood next to him and watched the vendor blow up the sugar man with relish, this craft can only be seen in China.

"How about I help him take a look......"

After thinking for a while, he looked at the old man and silently muttered: "Turtle shell, turtle shell, come out quickly......"

There was no way, the turtle shell in his mind was elusive, and Ye Tian didn't know how to call it out, and he talked about "turtle shell" for a long time, but there was no movement at all.

"Shuzang!" In desperation, Ye Tian suddenly remembered the two words in the middle of the turtle shell, and tried to recite it silently in his heart.
