Chapter 265: The Wonton Shop Owner
"Ah Hu, thank you! You are really my savior!" Just as he looked at the token carefully, Ah Hu jumped into the grass in the blink of an eye, and disappeared. "It's really a magical fox, no matter what, let's talk about it in the city!"
Arrived at the city gate, with the help of the token, Lu Changan successfully entered the city.
Shengchangguo is very lively, and all kinds of vendors have set up all kinds of stalls on both sides of the street, some selling wontons, selling fan bone knick-knacks, and some selling candy people. Lu Changan felt hungry after some twists and turns, so he found a wonton shop and asked for a big bowl of wontons, sat down to eat slowly, and asked the shopkeeper about the news of Sheng Changguo while eating.
"Boss, this wonton is so delicious, how is the business lately?" Lu Changan intended to talk to the boss.
"You're from out of town, don't look at the noon market so busy, but ah, this business is not as good as it used to be. The middle-aged man sighed and said.
"How do you say that, boss?" Lu Changan smelled something unusual.
"Don't you know, our king married a queen, this queen is very fond of luxury and luxury, the king loves her very much, and is preparing to build a palace for her, so he presses our people a lot" The boss hurriedly lowered his head and whispered to Lu Changan, "You can't talk nonsense, this is going to lose her head when it is spread outside, it is said that this queen likes jade the most." ”
"Jade?" Lu Changan's heart moved, isn't this queen the best opportunity for me to get close to the palace and get the national treasure jade board? Thinking of this, Lu Changan immediately swallowed the wonton in a big gulp, put the money on the boss's table, and strode away.
But where should I find a peerless jade to present to this queen, in order to exchange for a jade plate? Lu Changan was walking on the street, but suddenly he had no idea. He was so anxious that he walked back and forth on the street, what should I do, there is not much time left for me, if I continue like this, even if I get the jade plate, I can't change the chaotic situation in the world.
Just when Lu Changan was at a loss, he suddenly felt a commotion under his feet, as if something was rubbing his feet back and forth. He looked down and saw that it was Ah Hu, with the clothes he had bandaged around his legs. "Ah Hu, why are you here?" Lu Changan squatted down and gently stroked Ah Hu's head. Ah Hu also wagged his tail at him.
"I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last time, Ah Hu, I can't enter the city without you!" Ah Hu kept sweeping his tail, Lu Changan felt strange, so he took Ah Hu away, and fixed his eyes to see it, isn't that a piece of jade?
This piece of jade is so clear that it is almost transparent, and it has a turquoise shimmer, and those who don't understand jade know that this is a peerless piece of jade at a glance. When Lu Changan was about to turn around to look for Ah Hu, it ran away again. "Why does Ah Hu help me again and again, it shouldn't be an ordinary fox!"
But the matter was at stake, and Lu Changan couldn't think about it so much, so he picked up the jade that Ahu gave him and walked in the direction of the palace. When he finally arrived at the gate of the palace, he was hesitating how to meet the Empress Cao through the guards.
"Oh, the queen asked us to come out to look for jade again, the best jade in this Shengchang country is in our palace, where can we find better jade for the queen?" "Don't be verbose, hurry up, if you can't find it, the queen should scold us again." The two palace maids whispered at the door.
There was a way, Lu Changan had an idea, and quickly walked in front of the two people. "I heard that you want jade? I have the world's peerless jade, I don't know if you need it?"
"Really, don't fool us, we've seen a lot of jade. We've seen a lot of liars like you. Lu Changan snorted coldly, and took out the jade piece that Ahu gave him from his arms, "Look for yourself." ”
The two stepped forward one after another and played with the jade in Lu Changan's hand, "Yo, it looks like a good jade, how much did I buy it." The woman in red looked contemptuous and was about to take out the silver from the lotus bag, but was stopped by the woman in purple next to her.
"Sakura, are we okay like this? The queen let us collect the good jade herself, if she knew that we were so perfunctory, she would definitely be scolded bloody. "Don't worry, this piece of jade we are looking for is definitely a good jade, and then tell the queen that this is what we have been searching for for many days to find, isn't it? Why are you so cowardly! It's really useless!" I saw the woman in red named Ying'er patting the woman in purple on the shoulder, and continued to take out her purse to give Lu Changan money.
"Tell me, how much do you want?" said with an obnoxious haughty tone.
"I don't change this jade, I only have one request, that is, I need to see someone who knows how to appreciate this jade and hand it over to her personally. Lu Changan took back the jade from Ying'er's hand and looked at the two of them with justice and awe.
"This, how is this good, what if the queen knows?" the two muttered quietly. "Forget it, let's not take that risk. Besides, the queen has been very moody lately. Why provoke her for this, let's go to the bazaar again, we will definitely be able to find other good jade. The woman in purple poked Sakura's arm, "Well, that's okay." ”
"Forget it, let's go, we don't want it, you can find someone else who knows how to appreciate jade." Lu Changan was about to keep them and retreat to discuss, but the two of them ran away without a trace.
Why do you run so fast like Ah Hu, what should I do now, I don't have a chance to get close to the palace, the time given to me is running out, more and more people want to open the forbidden demon cave, the two devils are about to be released, they will make the human life miserable, and the consequences are unimaginable. Lu Changan lowered his head with a sigh, and his hands were deeply inserted into his scalp, and he really didn't know what to do now.
The owner of the wonton shop seems to know Sheng Changguo very well, so it is better to treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and then ask him about the situation.
While thinking so in his heart, Lu Changan quickened his pace, and returned to the wonton shop where he had lunch in three steps and two steps.
As soon as he walked to the door of the store, the owner greeted him warmly. "It's you again, what's wrong, I didn't eat enough at noon, do you have another bowl of wontons?"
"No, no, no, I want to ask you something about Shengchangguo. Lu Changan touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Yo, you're asking the right question. I'm an old man here, and there's nothing I don't know about the big and small things in this Shengchang country. In this way, there is no business now, anyway, I will talk to you. Ask, and I'll tell you everything I know. ”
