Chapter Seventy-Two: The Basket of Chickens

The cold wave from the north swept the sky overnight, most of the unsuspecting people were frozen and woke up during the third or fourth watch, but there was no way, and they were too lazy to make a charcoal fire, half-asleep until dawn, and in the morning they found that the water in the water tank was frozen to the bottom, and they had to sigh that the cold was really fast, and they could only smash out some broken ice and boil water.

"Fortunately, after listening to Uncle Sun's words, I burned an extra pot of carbon fire, otherwise I would have really woken up. Hu Ran didn't want to get up, but when he thought of the task assigned by Bian Shihan and his own careful thoughts, he had to get out of bed.

Ning Du brought the rice to the table, exhaled hot air in his mouth and said, "It's really cold!" It's not that he hasn't experienced severe cold, after all, there is snow all year round in the place where he used to be, but this kind of cliff-like cooling really makes people feel cold.

"Young Master, don't you know how to use your vitality to cast a spell?Quick, light the fire!" Hu Ran suddenly remembered and said, she had pestered Ning Du to let him perform before, but Ning Du replied with her white eyes, but she still wanted to see it with perseverance, as if this was as attractive as juggling.

Ning Duqian glanced at Hu Ran, Gu Zi started eating, and didn't want to deal with the other party.

"Young master, where are we going today?" Even if it was freezing outside, it couldn't stop Hu Ran's heart from going out to play, she got up so early just to be able to go out to play for a while.

"Why do you want to go out?" Ning Du asked strangely.

"Today, Bian Jiaoxi went out, anyway, he assigned me those tasks, as long as I finish it, I will have a lot of time. Hu Ran swore that in order to buy that little time to play, she had a very tenacious heart and could not be shaken no matter what happened.

Ning Du agreed without thinking about it, he hoped too much that Hu Ran could behave well in Bian Shihan, otherwise he would really live up to Bian Shihan's kindness.

"Okay, young master, you still forget to return to the pavilion in Firefly Lake, I'll look for you when the time comes!"

"Forget to return to the pavilion. ”

"Okay!" Hu Ran hurriedly finished eating, pulled Ning Du into the carriage, urged faster along the way, and ran to the Qingli Garden at the gate of Qingteng Garden, and rushed into the house.

Bian Shihan was about to leave, and when he saw Hu Ran in such a hurry, he stopped, looked at Hu Ran with a puzzled look, and then gradually had a surprised look on his face.

"Why is it like a medical immortal possessed, the same state as that day?"

"Bian Jiaoxi, Bian Jiaoxi?"

Bian Shihan came back to his senses and looked at the other party.

"Teacher Bian, the carriage has already been prepared for you, please get in the carriage and go. The other party said respectfully.

Bian Shihan turned his head to look at Hu Ran, who was concentrated, he didn't want to leave at all, for a teacher, there was nothing more gratifying than the disciple's rapid progress with his own efforts. Although Hu Ran's technique still seemed very clumsy at his current level, it was as if he was watching a holy hand perform a needle.

"Bian Jiaoxi?"

Bian Shihan had to retract his gaze, he had already agreed to others, if he regretted it now, it might make people lose a life, not to mention that because of the "Xiaosheng" matter in the sour pear orchard, he also had to leave the green pear orchard.

Bian Shihan didn't say a word along the way, just thought alone.

"Is there something wrong with my teaching style? Why is it that Shang Chonggu was able to train Ning Du well, but I can't teach Hu Ran? Hu Ran is no worse than Ning Du at all! I think about Hu Ran's various things every day, do I also have a problem?"

If a teacher can reflect on himself, it is a great honor for students.

"Bian Jiaoxi, we are here, Bian Jiaoxi?" the other party called out several times under the carriage.

"Oh. Bian Shihan had to retract his thoughts and get out of the carriage.

......

Ning Du really didn't expect that Hu Ran would find him before lunch and hand him the rock sugar gourd.

"Now, young master, you eat one. Hu Ran said happily.

Ning Du glanced at Hu Ran suspiciously, didn't eat the rock sugar gourd immediately, and said, "Shouldn't you be stealing and playing tricks, and you haven't completed the task assigned to you by Bian Jiaoxi at all?"

"How is that possible? I'm a real person!" Hu Ran patted his chest.

Ning Du lowered his head and ate a rock sugar gourd, and said, "Don't make Bian Jiaoxi unhappy anymore, if he really kicks you out, we will lose the adult." ”

"Young Master, you don't believe me!" Hu Ran said angrily, she obviously worked so hard, but she never got anyone's affirmation.

Ning Du saw that Hu Ran didn't look like he was lying, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "Say, where do you want to go?"

Hu Ran immediately said: "Let's go to the south city! I go to the east city every day, but I have visited all over the east city, the west city is not easy to go, the north city is too far, and the south city is the best!"

Ning Du really didn't expect Hu Ran to be able to complete the tasks assigned by Bian Shihan, and couldn't help but wonder if the tasks assigned by Bian Shihan were too few. But he agreed to Hu Ran's matter, and he couldn't just regret it, so he had to give up half a day to go to Nancheng.

The carriage drove through the empty alleys, the clattering hooves of horses being torn apart by the sound of the wind. Hu Ran poked his head out of the window and was almost cut off by the wind.

"Young Master, why is it so cold?" Hu Ran hurriedly retracted his head and plugged the window tightly. She had been bent on completing the task and coming out early, but she didn't notice the cold at all, and now she really felt cold.

By noon, there was still no sun in the sky, and the gray composure was not much warmer than in the morning. On the contrary, the wind picked up, which made it feel colder.

"You're just going to come out. ”

"It's a big loss, and I finally came out, but I have nowhere to play. Hu Ran also knows that no one will come out to set up a stall on such a cold day, even if he goes to a store, it must be very deserted inside, which is not interesting at all.

Ning Du smiled and closed his eyes, letting Hu Ran go.

Being intercepted and killed so many times on the road, it is impossible for Ning Du not to be vigilant. Now his strength is indeed stronger, but he also understands that the other party will definitely be stronger when he comes back, and he knows himself better, and he must always be on guard.

Fortunately on weekdays, once Ning traveled alone, the nerves of the people in Yulong Street naturally tensed, and they had to use the strongest manpower they could mobilize to carry out the escort work.

A horse-drawn carriage was clattering, but many figures flew by.

"Master, I'm hungry, let's find a shop to eat something. Hu Ran touched his stomach. "Alas, if only the fat man were here, he wouldn't have to worry about which one to eat, anyway, he counted more shops in Tiandu than he counted on his fingers. Young master, where is the fat man now?"

"He's doing well, and last month he wrote that he had arrived in the Northern Shadows, and now he should have entered the wasteland of the Tulie Kingdom. Pang Jiushan's letter introduced too many interesting things, and Ning Du just had no way to reply to him, so he could only wait for the letter to come.

"I'm so hungry, I'll find a random shop to eat. Hu Ran shouted to the coachman outside: "Uncle, do you know what to eat nearby?"

"Miss, we all eat lowly, I'm afraid it won't be to your taste. The coachman shouted.

"It's all things that can fill your stomach, and there is nothing high or low. Hu Ran said without thinking.

"I was relieved when Miss said that. I know of a place that sells roast chicken. This roast chicken shop is also peculiar, not to mention on the second floor, but there is no way upstairs. I heard that it was the brother's family that split up before, and the two fell out, and the younger brother just didn't let the elder brother occupy the first floor. This brother can only sell on the second floor, and send roast chickens down with baskets, and over time, even if there is a ladder, everyone is reluctant to go up again, and they all rely on the basket to send chickens, and they get the title of "basket chicken". ”

The coachman's words were scattered by the wind, but Hu Ran also understood.

"Then go eat that 'basket chicken'!" Hu Ran shouted happily.

"All right!" said the coachman, whipping the carriage forward.

"His house is not only a 'basket chicken', but the proprietress fried oil cakes are also fragrant and crispy, and when the time comes, there will be two green onions, click and chew, the taste is simply amazing!" said the coachman excitedly, as if he could forget the cold.

On weekdays, the carriage could no longer run around the streets, and if it didn't work, it would fall in the streets and not move at all, but now it was rushing through the streets. The sudden cold wave this time was indeed a bit severe, and it was so cold that people didn't dare to show their heads.

"Young master, on such a cold day, people will definitely freeze to death. Hu Ran remembered that he had slept on the streets before, but he had seen many people who had frozen to death.

"Anyway, you're so rich now, you might as well take some out to save people. Ning Du said.

Hu Ran thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll take out some money to give them white porridge!"

"Do you only send white porridge?" I think wouldn't it be better to build two or three streets, two or three hundred rooms, three meals a day, meat at meals, and a stove for cotton clothes?" Ning Du teased.

"Laugh and laugh! I laugh when I do something wrong, and laugh when I do good deeds! Young master, you are so annoying!" Hu Ran was directly angry. It's not easy to come out once, but with so many worries, she has long been resentful.

Ning Du hurriedly put away his smile and said, "Good deeds are rewarded, and you will naturally have good luck when you do such good deeds." ”

"Of course! I've been lucky!"

When Hu Ran was talking to Ning Du, the carriage stopped, and the coachman said with a smile: "Miss, young master, it's time for the 'basket chicken', I will go forward to ring the bell, put the money in the basket, and the one on it will come to get it." ”

"I'll go!" Hu Ran thought it was interesting and wanted to go out and try it for himself.

"Miss, you're still inside, it's very cold outside, which is a matter of handing back and forth. The coachman jumped out of the carriage and walked to a small building on the side of the road.

"No, I'm going to try it! It must be fun!" Hu Ran stood up and was about to go out, but was pulled back by Ning Du. "What's the matter, young master?"

"Not much, it's cold outside. Ning Du's face suddenly lost any expression, and his tone stiffened a lot.

Hu Ran didn't care about the young master's strange appearance, for fear that the coachman would go away, so he shouted loudly: "Buy two, and bring one back for you!"

"All right, Miss!" the coachman's response dissipated in the wind, as if there was only one wind left between heaven and earth, enveloping the lonely carriage.
