Chapter 240 Trance
Xu Jiaojiao also opened her eyes and looked towards the top of the mountain.
There is indeed a human-shaped rock, which looks like an immortal. There are also various strange-shaped trees growing on the rock. From a distance, it looks like a fairy's skirt.
It's quite a bit imaginative.
No wonder the Empress Temple Fair is so popular. The tourism industry is well developed.
The next road up the mountain was more difficult. Xu Jiaojiao and the others got off the car, leaving only Xu Laoer on the oxcart.
Erlang drove the cart, Xu Jiaojiao was pushing the cart behind, and Xu Zhang and others were also helping.
The ox cart was driven to the top of the mountain smoothly.
The higher you go to the top of the mountain, the more people there are.
Various people selling breakfast snacks occupied half of the mountain road.
The good seats in front of the Niangniang Temple have already been taken up. People from nearby areas can occupy the stalls a few days in advance.
People who are relatively far away like Xu Zhang and others, although they get up early, can only queue a few hundred meters away from the Empress Temple.
There is a large incense burner in front of the Empress Temple. It is an antique building that looks very old. It has red tiles and blue bricks, gray walls, and a door with peeling paint. It is simple and heavy. Many people come here.
You usually enter through this gate.
When Xu Jiaojiao looked at the door, she felt her heart tremble. She had the illusion that something was staring at her inside the door.
She was in a daze, her mind seemed to have stopped, and her whole body felt light and airy.
Xu Zhang and the others found an open space, stopped the oxcart, and began to set up a wine stall. Erlang was very strong, and he and Xu Laoer were setting up a signboard.
The signboard only has a few big characters, written by Xu Jiaojiao herself, and the words "Loquat Wine".
It's not very well written, but it's neat enough that others can recognize it at a glance.
Xu Zhang saw Xu Jiaojiao looking in the direction of the Niangniang Temple for a long time, "What's going on? Old girl? Can't you wait any longer and want to go into the temple to fulfill your wish? Wait a little while, your second brother and the others will set up the stalls.
, let’s go in…”
After saying it once, Xu Jiaojiao had no reaction.
There was a dull look on her face. It was rare for Xu Jiaojiao to look like this, and it looked strange.
Xu Zhang looked worried and pulled Xu Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao?"
Only then did Xu Jiaojiao come to her senses from her daze and let out a long breath, as if she had been pulled back from some abyss.
"mother!"
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Are you tired after riding in the bullock cart for a long time?" Mrs. Xu Zhang saw Xu Jiaojiao's face looking a little pale and asked worriedly.
Xu Jiaojiao smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, I just feel not in good spirits."
Somewhat dazed.
Especially when I saw the Empress Temple, I felt a little dazzled. I don’t know if it was because of tiredness or some other reason.
I looked away, and suddenly I felt limp and tired all over.
You must know that when she went out, she followed the bullock cart and ran for more than ten kilometers without stopping.
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't think of any reason. Forget it, let's take a rest first.
Mrs. Xu Zhang set up a small stool and helped Xu Jiaojiao sit down, "Then sit down and have a good rest. What do you want to eat? There are many snacks here. Mom will buy them for you..."
The loquat wine stalls were set up, and there was more traffic at the entrance of the Empress Temple.
When Xu Jiaojiao and the others set off in the morning, it was too early and they didn't have time to have breakfast.
"Mom, just buy whatever you want. I'm not in the way. Don't worry about me. I'm just dizzy. Just take a rest and you'll be fine."
Xu Zhang looked at Xu Jiaojiao, but nothing could be seen on the surface. Xu Jiaojiao sat down, and there were noisy crowds in all directions. Xu Jiaojiao's complexion became rosy again, not as pale as before.
Just relax.
"Then mom, go buy some food and come over. Sanya, keep an eye on your old lady, Shiro, come and buy it with me. Let your father and brothers guard here and do business."
"I know, milk."
Silang went with Mrs. Xu Zhang to buy breakfast.
Sanya massaged Xu Jiaojiao who was sitting down. Xu Jiaojiao felt dizzy, so she gently massaged her head.
Xu Jiaojiao often massaged Xu Zhang, and the children in the second room all learned a little bit about it.
Xu Jiaojiao was pressed comfortably and did not move.
Mrs. Xu Zhang went to buy some breakfast to eat. The market in front of the Empress Temple is no smaller than the morning market in Qingshui Town. There are pancakes, fried dough sticks, vegetable buns, green onion steamed buns, soy milk, tofu curd, and wonton stew.
Waiting for various snack stalls.
There was a lot of noise and people coming and going, it was truly a grand temple fair with great pomp and splendor.
After buying it earlier, Xu Jiaojiao felt unsatisfied and had no appetite. She drank a bowl of soy milk and stopped eating even half of the scallion steamed bun.
However, after Sanya's massage, she is much better now than before.
There was extra breakfast left, but Sanya, Shiro and the others didn't think it was too much, and they all ate nothing left.
It was the first time for several children to come to such a lively temple fair.
My eyes can't see enough.
"Loquat wine? How do you sell this wine?"
There were more and more people, Xu Jiaojiao and the others started to do business. Without shouting, people began to ask for prices.
"Sold by the cup, a small cup costs five cents, a large cup costs ten cents..."
Although loquat wine is fruit wine, it contains a certain amount of alcohol. Liao Qing drank a few too many glasses last time and that was it. Therefore, the portion of a glass is very small.
It is completely incomparable to the previous loquat dew, just two or three mouthfuls.
The smell of loquat wine is fragrant. As soon as the wine jar is opened, business begins without anyone having to drink.
Mrs. Xu Zhang was also relieved.
"Jiaojiao, let's go in first and burn incense for the empress and the Bodhisattvas. Just let Erlang help look after the stall."
After the Niangniang Temple became very popular, the main hall of the Niangniang Temple was the statue of the Niangniang, and other side halls were also set up. The other side halls enshrine many Bodhisattvas from all walks of life. You can worship any Bodhisattva you want.
It was still early, and before the temple was full of people, Mrs. Xu Zhang wanted to take Xu Jiaojiao and the others to burn incense first.
Erlang is the only one who doesn't have to fulfill the Bodhisattva's wishes. He stays at the stall for now, so there's nothing wrong with him.
Xu Jiaojiao glanced in the direction of the Empress Temple again, and that dizzy feeling came again.
She subconsciously rejected it, "Mom, you go ahead. I'll rest for a while and look at the stalls. Don't be in a hurry. You go in first..."
Xu Zhang thought for a while, no matter how important the Bodhisattva was, it was not as important as the old girl.
"Okay, Jiaojiao, you need to rest first, and we'll burn incense first."
Burning incense first is a sign of respect to the Bodhisattva.
The main reason for coming all the way here is to burn incense for the Bodhisattva, and secondly to sell loquat wine.
Now, while there are still a few people, let's burn some incense first. We will come out later and let's do business and sell wine together without any delay.
So Xu Zhang and the others went in.
