Chapter 57 Looking at each other

When the three of them arrived in the town, it was already broad daylight.

  As usual, Zhou Liang tied up the oxcart in front of the soup cake shop as soon as he entered the town. Several people who came to the town by car got out of the car one after another and went about their own business.

  He Huifen was originally staring at Ye Anyian and the others, wanting to see what kind of goods they were going to sell, but once she heard that they were going to Clay Figure Lane, she lost interest.

  How much can children's toys cost? Just change some needles and threads.

  After sending He Huifen away, Ye Anyian, Jiang Zhu, and Ye Xiaomei went straight to Clay Figure Lane.

  While there weren't too many people there, he quickly occupied a stall and laid out the things he brought one by one. Let Jiang Zhu look at the stall, and Ye Annian led Ye Xiaomei to the Xiaoyun Wine Shop where they last met Xiao Erniang.

  When the two of them rushed to the wine shop, Xiao Erniang hadn't arrived yet. There was a drinking customer sitting outside the wine shop. Only the thin female boss was busy.

  Seeing the two people arriving, the female boss came out with a smile on her face and said, "Sit down, what do you want to eat?"

  "We are here to wait for Xiao Erniang." Ye Anyian said bluntly.

  "Oh, then you guys sit down and wait. I think Er Niang won't come over until noon."

  The woman had met Ye Anyian before and was quite impressed by him, so she replied.

Ye Annian thanked her and saw that the sun above his head was gradually rising, so he took Ye Xiaomei to sit down and wait.

  Not long after, a fat woman wearing a purple dress and a hairpin twisted into the alley.

  Ye Annian took a quick look and knew it was Xiao Erniang, so he quickly asked the boss to serve a plate of beef with soy sauce, a plate of peanuts and a jar of wine.

  When the wine and dishes were served, Xiao Erniang happened to sit down opposite the two of them.

  Different from her attitude last time, Xiao Erniang's face was smiling like a flower today.

  As soon as she sat down, she opened the wine jar and poured herself a bowl. She didn't say hello to Ye Anyian, just picked up the bowl and drank directly.

  "Ha~"

  After finishing a bowl of wine, Xiao Erniang sighed contentedly.

  She looked Ye Xiaomei up and down, and then said to Ye Anyian, "Is this your sister?"

  "Yes." Ye Anyian nodded, "But have you found a suitable family?"

  "I drank two of your drinks, so naturally I won't ask you to make this trip in vain."

  Xiao Erniang spoke straightforwardly: "Today there are two families that can see each other. Let me tell you the general situation of these two people first."

  "This one is an apprentice from the blacksmith shop in the west end of the town. His name is Zhang Zhenghe. He is eighteen years old this year and is the same age as your sister. He is upright and energetic. He has been an apprentice for three years and is about to leave the apprenticeship."

  "The other one is a chef from the Ke Lai Restaurant in this town, his name is Wei Feng. He is a little older than your sister, he is twenty-five this year. Because there is a scar on his face, he has never said that he is dating his wife. There are quite a few, and the only one in the family is my mother."

  "What about the blacksmith apprentice? Who are the people in the family?" Ye Anyian asked.

  Xiao Erniang took a big mouthful of soy sauce beef, took a sip of wine, and then said: "The blacksmith apprentice is the eldest son of the family, and he has a younger sister, so he doesn't need to worry about it."

  From what it sounds like, Ye Anyian's instinct is that it would be better to be a blacksmith apprentice. After all, he is young. If he starts training right away, he has the skills and will not worry about making money. Although he has a younger sister at home, she will get married in the future, so there is no need. What to help?

  However, Ye Xiaomei still had to make her own decision on this matter, so she glanced at Ye Xiaomei beside her and asked in a low voice: "Second sister, what do you think?"

  Ye Xiaomei heard that this was a blacksmith apprentice and a cook, and she already felt that the conditions were very good.

  This was in a town, and she was a girl from the village. It was hard to say whether people would like her.

  "I, everything looks fine to me." She said a little embarrassed.

  Xiao Erniang glanced at her and drained the last sip of wine in the bowl: "Then let's all go meet and you can make up your own mind."

  "Well, thank you... thank you." Ye Xiaomei said.

Seeing that she was shy, Xiao Erniang slapped the table proudly and asked the owner of the restaurant to pay the bill.

  He joked: "Thank you for nothing. I am using money to do things. If your marriage is successful, I will receive a matchmaker gift to thank you!"

  Xiao Erniang was quite generous and generous. She didn't need Ye Anyian to pay for the drinks. She paid for them herself and led the two of them away.

  The three of them first went to the blacksmith shop to meet the blacksmith apprentice.

  Naturally, they would not go there directly. There was a tea stall opposite the blacksmith shop. Xiao Erniang asked Ye Anyian and Ye Xiaomei to sit at the tea stall while she called the apprentice over.

  Ye Anyian ordered four bowls of tea and waited with Ye Xiaomei.

  Not long after, Xiao Erniang strode over with a young man.

  Zhang Zhenghe was dressed in a short coat of coarse cloth, with a sweat towel tied on his head. His shirt was wide open, revealing his wheat-colored chest. His sleeves were rolled up high, revealing strong muscles on his arms.

  The person is indeed not ugly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. It is indeed as Xiao Erniang said before, Zhou Zheng and energetic.

  "Come on, sit down quickly." Xiao Erniang said.

  Zhang Zhenghe was not polite and sat down opposite Ye Xiaomei. Ye Anyian invited him to drink tea, and he politely thanked him.

  After Ye Xiaomei chatted with him for a while, Ye Anyian asked him carefully about the situation at home. Xiao Erniang saw that it was almost time and asked Zhang Zhenghe to go back.

  "How do you feel?"

  After Zhang Zhenghe left, Xiao Erniang asked Ye Xiaomei.

  At this moment, Ye Xiaomei's mind was filled with Zhang Zhenghe's wheat-colored skin and strong arms.

  Hearing this, his face turned red: "It's... pretty good."

  Xiao Erniang covered her mouth and said happily: "I took the girls and buddies who were looking at me, and I didn't say anything bad about him."

  Ye Anyian heard the fishiness in her words and asked, "Then why hasn't he gotten married yet?"

  Xiao Erniang did not reply to him immediately, but looked around first. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she waved to Ye Anyian and Ye Xiaomei, motioning them to come closer.

  Then he lowered his voice and said, "Because of him, it won't work there."

  Ye Anyian:...

  Ye Xiaomei:...

  Ye Xiaomei's face instantly turned red, and she covered her face with her handkerchief in embarrassment.

  Xiao Erniang chuckled twice more, then calmed down her expression and said seriously: "This Zhenghe looks good, but apart from that problem, there is one more thing I have to make clear to you."

  Seeing Ye Anian and Ye Xiaomei both looking at her, Xiao Erniang said: "He usually drinks some flower wine."

"He's like this, and he still... drinks flower wine?" Ye Xiaomei's eyes widened in disbelief.

  Ye Annian was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood.

  As a person, the more you have shortcomings, the more you try to cover them up.

  Besides, this is not a good match. Even if I go to the land of smoke and willows, I can't do anything except drink and look at the beauties.

  Sure enough, I heard Xiao Erniang say: "It's just drinking. You have also seen that the young man is good-looking and has a good figure, but he is not good at that place, and he is not willing to accept it."

  Ye Xiaomei and Ye Annian looked at each other and fell silent.

  Xiao Erniang didn't advise Ye Xiaomei, she just got up with the two of them and continued to meet the cook at the restaurant where guests were coming.

The three of them sat down in the lobby of Youke Lai Restaurant. Xiao Erniang skillfully ordered a few dishes, said hello to the waiter, and told Ye Anian and Ye Xiaomei to wait peacefully.

  Not long after, a neatly dressed young man came down from upstairs.

  The man is actually not ugly either. He has sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes. If it weren't for the scar on his forehead, his appearance would be as good as that of the young man just now.

  Wei Feng walked to their table and sat down next to Xiao Erniang. He said nothing and had a straight face.

  Xiao Erniang elbowed him unceremoniously: "This is the second girl of the Ye family and her brother, are you talking to me?"

  "Second Miss Ye, younger brother of the Ye family," Wei Feng's voice was steady and powerful.

  Ye Anyian nodded in agreement, and Ye Xiaomei also said a soft "hmm".

  Unlike Zhang Zhenghe who was eloquent just now, Wei Feng looked honest and honest at first glance.

  After calling people, Wei Feng stopped talking and sat with Ye Anyian and Ye Xiaomei staring at each other.

  The four of them sat there for a long time, with Ye Anian and Ye Xiaomei basically asking questions and Wei Feng answering. The blind date seemed like a face-to-face interview.

  Seeing Ye Annian and Ye Xiaomei asking all the questions they could, Xiao Erniang looked like she hated iron, and she said to Wei Feng, "How about you take the initiative to say something?"

  After Xiao Erniang said this, Wei Feng also felt that this was not good. He glanced at the dishes on the table and said, "I made these dishes. What do you think?"

  Ye Xiaomei took a few bites of each of the dishes on the table, but she didn't feel like tasting them. When asked about them, she still replied politely: "It's quite delicious."

  "That's fine." Wei Feng said in a naive voice, "If we get married in the future, just tell me what you want to eat. I'm a cook, so I can cook anything."

  Ye Xiaomei's face turned red and she didn't answer.

  At this time, someone upstairs called Wei Feng to take the spoon, and he quickly stood up, saying "I'm sorry" and ran away in a hurry.

  The table fell silent for a while, and no one spoke.

  After a while, Xiao Erniang sighed and said: "This Wei Feng is a bit dull and doesn't know how to speak nice words. He is a good person, down-to-earth and hard-working. He is a person who lives a good life."

  Ye Xiaomei nodded in agreement, not sure if she was attracted to it.

  The three of them sat for a while, then got up and left.

  Back at Xiaoyun Restaurant, Xiao Erniang asked Ye Xiaomei: "How are you, girl? Is there anyone I can like between these two people?"

  The blush on Ye Xiaomei's face had just faded away, and now her brows were furrowed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

  "If you feel something is wrong, please ask Xiao Erniang to find out more." Ye Anian also said.

  Ye Xiaomei still didn't speak, holding the handkerchief in both hands and twirling it around.

  "It doesn't matter if you don't like it," Xiao Erniang said hurriedly, "I'll just find something else for you. Tianshui Town is not a small town, but it's really bad. The surrounding villages..."

  Before she finished speaking, Ye Xiaomei suddenly spoke: "Don't bother, I think Wei Feng is good."

 Xiao Erniang was stunned for a moment, and then said with joy: "That's it. You are still a girl, you are so refreshing, unlike the girl from the Ji family in your village, who almost looked at the young men in my hands all over, and she was completely satisfied. no."

  "Girl from the Ji family..." Ye Anyian frowned, "Ji Fangfang?"

  "Yes! That's her!"

  Mentioning Ji Fangfang, Xiao Erniang suddenly became excited: "That person who has high standards either doesn't think this one is good-looking, or she doesn't think that one earns enough. She doesn't even look at her own appearance or conditions."

  "Wei Feng is such a nice person, but she thinks she is a chef and smells like oil smoke! She is a village girl and smells like chicken shit."

  Xiao Erniang complained for a while, and then she remembered that Ye Anyian and Ye Xiaomei were also from the same village as Ji Fangfang.

  Then he said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else. That girl is too difficult to take care of. When I mention her, I can't control my temper."

  Then another day, can I invite Sister Xiaomei and Wei Feng to come out to meet? When is it convenient for you to come to town? "

  Ye Xiaomei looked at Ye Anyian and signaled him to make up his mind.

  Ye Anyian thought for a while and said, "Then in two days."

  It just so happened that he could make some more gadgets in the past two days and then bring them to the town to sell.

  "Okay, let's make an appointment to meet at Xiaoyun Wine Restaurant." Xiao Erniang said.
