"This son, you have been standing in front of the old child's stall for a long time, but you want to taste the cheese lotus made by the old child? This is an ancestral craft, made of animal milk, lotus root slices, eggs, and powdered sugar, golden butter is shiny, and there is a milky fragrance when you bite into it, and there is also the fragrance of egg slices, as well as the fragrance of lotus root slices. ”

Shang Luo, who was thinking about it, suddenly felt his sleeves tighten, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a little girl about five or six years old, wearing pigtails and a big red cotton jacket, two little hands were tugging at his sleeves, staring at him with blank eyes.

Behind the little girl, an old man with black and white hair was looking at him with a smile, enthusiastically promoting the snacks of his stall.

"Let's have one. ”

Shang Luo smiled bitterly, looking at this posture, it seemed that it would be difficult for him to get out if he didn't buy one.

However, after swallowing Yang Yue's family wealth, how can he say that he is also a rich man now, but he is not worried about this little money, and the fried food on this stall is indeed fragrant, and the tempting fragrance drills into his nose along the wind.

found a seat and sat down, the little girl immediately obediently stepped forward to pour tea and water, Shang Luo handed over a few copper plates, but saw the little girl standing in front of the copper plate with a tangled face, her little hand shrank behind uneasily, and turned her head to look at her grandfather.

"Niuniu, thank you for this son. The uncle smiled and showed the big yellow teeth in his mouth, and the animal milk poured into the bowl unconsciously added some more weight.

"Thank you, Childe. Shang Luo smiled and rubbed the little girl's head.

The little girl picked up the copper plate, counted them one by one, and then trotted all the way, turned her face up, and handed it to her grandfather as if offering a treasure.

"Well, take it and eat it yourself. ”

Seeing this warm scene, Shang Luo smiled, and his mood improved a lot.

He took out his handkerchief, dipped it in water, wiped the table and chopsticks, and began to look around.

"Uncle, I see that there are masters everywhere around here, and there are so many masters in Merchant Town in the past?"

"Crackling ......"

The uncle put the cut lotus root slices into the jar containing animal milk and egg liquid and soaked them, then picked them up with chopsticks, wrapped them in a layer of flour, and put them in the golden oil pot.

"Sort of. After hesitating for a moment, Shang Luo replied, the predecessor had been here many times, but if it was him, it was really the first time he had come here in person.

"No wonder. The uncle smiled, as if he meant something. Looking at that smile, Shang Luo was slightly embarrassed, knowing that the other party might have seen what he had been scolded by the woman in red on the street before.

"Don't mind, Childe, Little Lao'er is not making fun of Childe. Seeing the change in Shang Luo's face, the uncle thought that Shang Luo was angry, and hurriedly explained: "The women in the merchant town are indeed spicy, and many outsiders who come for the first time will suffer, but Childe, don't look at the spicy, but the women in the merchant town are all good women, laundry, cooking, hunting, and planting crops There is no merchant town woman who can't, and you can give birth to two big fat boys." ”

Uncle, the woman you are talking about is still a servant?

Shaking his head, Shang Luo was a little speechless.

At this time, the crackling sound of the oil pan had stopped.

The little girl brought a plate to her.

"It smells so good. Shang Luo exclaimed.

The golden buttery fried food is sprinkled with a layer of white powdered sugar, and it looks very appetizing.

The fragrance of milk, eggs and lotus root comes to your nose.

When you bite into it, it is crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, and the lotus root just relieves the oiliness of the fried food, and the animal milk and egg liquid add two points of heaviness to the thin taste of the lotus root.

I thought it would be some kind of dark food in the style of a university cafeteria, but I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly delicious.

"By the way, uncle, you haven't answered my question just now?" picked up a piece of cheese root and put it in his mouth, Shang Luo looked at the uncle who was busy working in front of the stall.

"Hey, I'm old, and my brain is not good. The uncle first patted his head, and then explained: "There are usually many masters in our town, but it is not like now, so when the son enters the city, he should have noticed those carriages, right?"

Seeing Shang Luo nodding, the uncle continued: "Those are all young masters and young ladies of the Xingluo clan, each of them is unspeakably expensive, think about it, they are here, can there be fewer guards around them......?

The uncle pursed his lips, and his eyes gestured to a wide and unmanned avenue in the middle of the road.

"The red line was only ordered by the Shang Mansion some time ago, and within the red line is the carriage road, which is specially supplied to those young masters and young ladies. ”

"Uncle, do you know why they came to Merchant Town?" Shang Luo said curiously.

"Childe, you ask me, the little old man is an old man who sells cheese roots, how can he know so much. The uncle smiled bitterly, as if he was a little surprised, how could he be an old man who knew about those young ladies and young masters, but since it was a guest who asked, he was not good at prevaricating casually, so he put down the work in his hand and thought about it seriously, and after a while, he really remembered something, and immediately said: "But I heard that it seems to be for what disciple quota, and what immortals, Zongmen or something, specifically, the little old man is not clear, if the son is interested, he can go to the Tianxiang Building in the center of the town, it is said that most of the young masters and young ladies who come to the merchant town live there. ”

Shang Luo nodded, his heart moved, but he said quietly: "Okay, thank you." ”

After eating the last piece of cheese root, I was about to leave.

Suddenly, not far away, there was a sound of horses' hooves trampling, and at the corner of the street, six majestic horses galloped forward, and immediately, a young man wearing a white background and gold-edged Chinese clothes raised his horsewhip and shouted: "Drive, drive, drive!"

The demeanor is wanton and arrogant.

Behind him, the five white-robed guards followed, all with swaggering faces.

There was already enough space for carriages and horses on the street, but the young man in Chinese clothes did not have the idea of passing the carriage and horse road safely.

On the contrary, he raised his horsewhip again and again, whipping the stalls and pedestrians on the street unscrupulously, and when he saw the pedestrians dodging, he would even beat them harder, and his laughter became more and more wanton.

"Childe, go back. ”

The uncle dragged the table and chair back with his hands and feet, and pulled Shang Luo's sleeves back back.

"Then it must be the young master of other big clans, we can't afford to offend, Niuniu, why are you going, come back quickly......"

At this moment, the little girl who was held in the uncle's arms suddenly broke free and ran towards the front, in front, a brown and yellow, kitten-like candy man was lying on the ground, covered with dust, obviously accidentally dropped just now, and looking at the little girl like this, it was obvious that she loved the sugar man.

Although the sugar man did not cross the red line on the ground, according to the momentum of the young man in Chinese costumes, it was not the appearance of An Sheng who rode a horse within the red line, so it was almost inevitable that the little girl would be hit.

The expression of the uncle next to him has fallen into despair, he wants to pull his granddaughter, but the horse arrived in an instant, and the young man in Chinese clothes on the horse not only did not take off the reins, but after the evil smile, he consciously controlled the horse to raise his front hooves.

The horse's hooves trampled on the young life, and the bloody scene that was about to ensued made his blood spurt.

Countless pedestrians around exclaimed, and many people covered their eyes, not daring or wanting to see the scene below.
