Chapter 22 Morning Market
Shu Shu looked at the city gate with expectant eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I can really eat whatever I want later, right? Brother Yanli, can I eat some meat? Can I eat meat?"
Yan Li looked at her helplessly, shook her head and said, "We still can't eat this meat, and we can eat meat after the age of eighteen." But Brother Yanli can take you to eat fried mushrooms, the taste is like eating meat!"
Shu Shu glanced at him and said a little unhappily: "Didn't you say that you can eat whatever you want? Why can't you still eat meat?" Besides, you haven't eaten meat, how do you know that the mushroom tastes the same as meat?"
Yan Li smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, sister, let's eat some sweet and sour first, bitter, spicy and salty first, so that your tongue can recover some taste." ”
Shu Zhu's eyes were staring straight at the city gate, as if he could swallow the entire gate. She said firmly: "I will never suffer again in the future, I will quit in this life, but I can still taste other tastes." After saying that, she bared a neat row of teeth and laughed twice.
In the east, the sky was bright with a touch of red glow, and the sun arched out of the mountains little by little. The morning sun shone on some of the rusty gates, mottled and mottled all over. Shu Shu couldn't wait to stand at the gate of the city and wait, bored, she used her slender little hand to buckle the rust of the iron gate little by little.
She fantasized that there would be her favorite dessert in the burden of the vendors who came to set up their stalls, or in the cart she pushed, and her tears were about to flow when she thought of the word sweet, and her tongue had not eaten anything sweet for so long, and she didn't know if she could still feel what sweetness was like.
The city gate slowly opened, and Shu Shu looked at the open city gate and was extremely happy in his heart. She pulled the mourning glass beside her and shouted happily: "Brother mourning, you see the city gate is open! The city gate is open, let's go in quickly, there must be a lot of delicious food in it." ”
The guard who was opening the city gate opened the city gate and suddenly looked up at a jumping little girl in a white dress, so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.
"What are you doing? You little girl scared me. How can I be outside so early in the morning and not afraid of being eaten by wolves. ”
After speaking, he spoke, and the city gate slowly opened. Four guards stood on either side of the town. They all looked at the two children in front of them with some worry, they were all a little curious, they didn't know whose children were locked outside the city gate, and it was a blessing to be safe and sound all night.
One of the guards sighed and said, "You two children don't run around in the future, why don't you hurry home? ”
Every time I mention my family, I am very sad, and Shu Shu almost doesn't say these two words in front of Yanli. Now, when she heard the kind-hearted guard brother mention it again, she didn't say a word, and ran into the city with the dead glass.
"Brother Yanli, let's go eat, I'm so hungry......"
As soon as I entered the city, I saw that the morning market was full of all kinds of ingredients. People are all walking back and forth in it, picking out their favorite products. The lively scene and the bustling crowd made Shu Shu's heart boil.
"Brother Yanli, do you see so many people? I thought those people hadn't come out of the stall yet, but now they are all setting up stalls in the town. I think it's also the last time that wild beasts have been rampant, and it will definitely be very dangerous if you are outside. Humans are really intelligent animals. ”
Yan Li pinched Shu Shu and frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't you promise me, don't you be careful when you speak?"
Shu Shu immediately closed his mouth, they are human now, and they must know how to blend in with them. That's the main reason Grandpa asked them to come here. No matter how much a little fox becomes human, if they can't fit into the crowd, they will be discovered.
Shu Shu nodded and said helplessly: "Okay, I know." Let's go eat first, shall I see there's a sticky candy shop over there, let's go and see it, I really want to eat it. ”
Seeing that her saliva was about to run to the ground, Yan Li smiled and led her over.
Shu Shu stood on tiptoe in front of the vendor, pointed to the sticky candy on the board, and said with a smile, "I want to eat this sticky candy." Can you give me a little bit?"
The boss who bought the sticky candy was still shouting at the top of his voice, but when he saw the brightly dressed little girl in front of him, he immediately lowered his head and said with a smile: "Okay, little friend, how much do you want?
Yan Li immediately greeted him and nodded and said, "Boss, how do you sell this sticky candy?" I want to buy some for my sister to eat. ”
The boss looked at the slightly tall boy and said a little seriously: "My sticky candy is the best in our town, and it is not expensive a pound of silver, if you don't bring enough silver, you can ask for a little less, I will make you cheaper." ”
Yan Li knew very well the price of the sticky candy under the mountain, and seeing that this boss was not sincere, he pulled Shu Shu and said, "Let's go and ask other families." Thank you. ”
Shu Zhu watched him pull herself away, although her eyes were still glued to the sticky candy, but she also knew very well what Brother Yan Li said, he understood the truth.
When they turned to leave, the boss who bought the sticky candy happened to see the bulging money bag around the waist of the dead glass. These two children are so beautiful. With a lot of money on him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he quietly glanced at a thief-headed man not far away. Two men followed.
In front of the stall of a slightly older old man, Yan Li bought a lot of sticky candy for Shu Shu, and the sticky candy here can buy a large piece of candy for two pennies.
Looking at Shu Shu's eating with relish, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he liked to look at Shu Shu's smiling appearance. It's been a long, long time since she's seen her eat so sweetly.
Shu Shu said while eating: "It's so good, Brother Yanli, I really eat and cry, it's so sweet......"
As he spoke, Shu Shu's tears fell. The old uncle who bought the sticky candy looked at her expression and said with some distress: "Look at this child, I don't know how long I haven't eaten candy, and the adults in your family really don't even give a piece of candy to the child...... Come on, little girl, this piece of candy Uncle has given you. ”
After speaking, the master handed Shu a small piece of candy, Shu Shu's eyes widened, and he said with a smile: "Uncle, you are really good...... Thank you so much. ”
She immediately took the small piece of candy in her hand, and with a chuckle, she took out another two pennies from the money bag in her waist and put them in the old man's hand and said, "Thank you, old man." ”
The old man excused himself and said, "Child, this is a gift from the uncle to this lovely little girl." You can just take it, and you can buy a bun for these two pennies......"
Before he could finish his words, Yan Li pulled Shu Shu and left, putting the two coins on the board. Looking at this boy, the old man nodded, it is really rare for such a sensible child to be so sensible.
