People went up the mountain to worship in an endless stream, either in pairs or in groups of three or five, some with their families, some on foot and others by sedan chair. There were even devout pilgrims who kowtowed every few steps from the foot of the mountain all the way to the temple gate. The target customers for Summer Solstice were those among them dressed in silk, satin and brocade, obviously wealthy locals or rich incense burners from nearby prefectures and counties.

  "Fresh flowers for Buddha!" Every time her target customers approached, Xia Zhi would raise her voice. Xiao Hei Yu also didn't idle around, he continued to hawk fresh and big sweet cherries.

  Cherries can be eaten by oneself, or they can be taken to a Buddhist altar as an offering, which is also a sincere and devout thought in reverence of the Buddha.

  The fragrant customers are attracted by their calling voices. Even those who come to buy incense at the next stall, seeing their fresh flowers and cherries, will also take a few more curious glances, and if they have the intention of buying, they will come over to ask the price.

  When several incense buyers bought flowers and then smiled and touched the top of Xiaohu's head (Xiaohu still had a red ribbon tied in a ponytail today), Xiatian quietly raised the price of fresh flowers.

  Another young couple walked up to them, and Xia Zhi's eyes lit up involuntarily.

  At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he wore a Wen Sheng scarf on his head and a dark blue brocade robe. He had a face like a crown jade, long eyebrows entering his temples, and a pair of peach blossom eyes slightly raised. The girl beside him was petite, wearing a light yellow silk shirt, a bean-colored pleated skirt, and a Songhua Palace belt around her waist. She looked like a beauty, but unfortunately, she wore a curtain on her head, so I couldn't see her face.

  Although so, the appearance of this young boy and girl is already enough to be painted. The girl leaned on the boy's side, with a bit of a bird-like posture. Xia Zhi also discovered that the hands of the two people were quietly held together.

  This is obviously a loving couple, and they are from a wealthy family. Xia Zhi has been standing by the steps for so long, and many incense guests have passed in front of him, but none of them are as pleasing to the eye as this pair.

  "Yinger, look at this flower, I'll buy it for you." The young man said gently, looking down at the girl's hair, his peach blossom eyes flowing with emotion.

  "If we all buy it, what will others buy?" The girl's voice was melodious and pleasant. Her gaze swept past Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei Yu's heads, drifting off into the distance.

  "Little sister, how much for this flower?" The young man asked Xia Zhi with a smile.

  "Big brother, these flowers for worshiping Buddha, small ones are fifteen cents for two bundles!" Xia Zhi replied crisply, "The big ones are ten cents a bundle."

  The little black fish raised its head and glanced at Xia Zhi, pursed its lips, and didn't make a sound.

  "It's actually very cheap." The young man smiled and let the girl Bing'er choose a bouquet.

  "Table brother must buy, then want this one, this......" The girl seemed to be condescendingly following the boy's intentions, she didn't bend her waist, only slightly lowered her head and pointed into the basket. The boy bent down, selecting a bouquet of flowers along with the girl's pointing hand.

  The girl chose three bunches and the boy took four, then he saw the cherries in the basket next to him. "Ice, these cherries are good, I'll buy them for you to eat."

  The girl also saw the cherries, her eyes hesitated for a moment, and she drifted away: "Where is our home good, don't buy it."

  The little black fish's big eyes narrowed slightly.

  "Big brother, this cherry is from my own home." Xia Zhi's face still had a smile on it. "I just picked it this morning, it's very fresh and sweet. Big brother, would you like to try some?"

  The girl hummed softly and gently kicked the boy with her toes.

  "The little sister is very good at doing business." The peach blossom eye boy smiled, picked up a cherry and threw it into his mouth, then nodded, "Hmm, not bad, not bad." He said he wanted to buy it without even asking the price.

  "How much does Big Brother want?" Xia Zhi asked.

  The peach blossom eye boy took a look and said: "Little sister, can you sell this basket to me too?"

  "It's summer solstice, and the two of them are empty-handed. After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "My cherries are four cents per small package, and there are about fifteen packages in this basket, so I'll charge you sixty cents. This basket wasn't meant to be sold, but since big brother bought cherries and it's not convenient to carry, if you must buy it, then it's thirty cents."

  "Good." The peach blossom eye boy didn't haggle either, picked up the basket and put all four bundles of good flowers into it.

  "It's a total of 125 wen, just give me 120 wen."

  "Little sister, here you are, no need to look for it." The peach blossom-eyed youth pinched out a piece of loose silver from his bosom and handed it over to Xia Zhi with a smile.

  The summer solstice pinched it, this small piece of silver was at least two coins, much more than she wanted.

  "Big brother, I'm looking for you about money." Xia Zhi said in a hurry.

  The peach blossom eye boy didn't take the copper coins handed over by Xia Zhi, but smiled and looked at her and Xiao Hei Yu: "No need to look for it, extra change, you and your brother buy some snacks to eat."

  "Older brother." The girl urged somewhat impatiently.

  A gentle breeze blew by, and the girl's curtain fluttered slightly. Xia Zhi was just lifting his head, and in a glance, he saw the girl's face.

  The peach blossom eye boy stood up and followed the girl away.

  "Long and ugly." The little black fish also seemed to have seen the girl's appearance, hugging his hands and saying a sentence to Xia Zhi.

  Summer solstice, endure the smile. Little black fish, this is getting angry when others say that cherry blossoms are not good. The girl's attitude was indeed arrogant and unpleasant, but if we talk about her appearance, she was truly fair-skinned and beautiful. However, she was not as beautiful as her peach blossom eye young uncle.

  As he watched the young couple enter the temple gates, Xia Zhi shifted his gaze to the next wave of customers.

  This time, it was a group of young men, all wearing the same style of life-preserving kerchief, dressed in the same pale blue bamboo-weave life-preserving robes. Some held folding fans, while others had a volume of books in their hands.

  "It's the students from Wenshan Academy in the city who have come to the temple fair to compose poems!" said the incense-selling woman with a smile.

  The last bunch of flowers was sold to a young couple with a child, and only a few orchids were left in the basket. Xia Zhi decided to close the stall. It was still some time before noon, so Xia Zhi asked Xiao Hei whether to eat first or go to the temple to stroll around first.

  Xiao Hei Yu's suggestion was to go out and have some fun: "Sixteen, let's go to the temple and take a stroll."

  "All right." Xia Zhi replied immediately.

  Xiao Hei Yu cheered, he handed the heavy and bulging money bag to Xia Zhi, turned around and called out Da Qing from the woods behind. Da Qing looked very majestic, he was their best bodyguard, and also had the function of attracting customers.

  But some customers not only look with their eyes, they also touch with their hands. Da Qing is obedient, but being touched many times makes it impatient. There are also children squatting beside Da Qing and refusing to leave. Moreover, where there are people who love dogs, there are also those who fear them. Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei can only hide the dog away, now that they've closed up shop, they're calling it out again.

  Xia Zhi carried a basket in one hand and held Xiao Hei's fin with the other. The two children, accompanied by Da Qing, walked into the Grand Buddha Temple.

  There are many people inside the temple, and almost every large hall is crowded with incense guests.
