Chapter 7 Opening a Restaurant (1)
Xia Ruqian shook her head and sighed, and suddenly an idea flashed, and her whole person became excited: I can take down this store, since I want to escape, I must have enough silver taels, although my dowry is also a lot, but most of them are items, and I can't take them away, and I can't sell the stolen goods, how can I use cash and silver tickets.

Xia Ruqian's eyes narrowed, and she just did it, she stepped forward and patted the table, woke up the sleeping shopkeeper, and asked, "My master sent me to ask, does the shopkeeper want to sell the store?" ”
"Where did the little girl come from, go and go, don't get in the way here", the shopkeeper rubbed his eyes and yawned, and shouted inside: "What about people, and lazy......"
Xia Ruqian thought about it, and felt that the shopkeeper might think that he was a woman and was joking, and he should find a man to negotiate with him.
But where to find a man?
She felt that she had to build up her own people, otherwise she would be surrounded by either her father's people or the prince's people, and if they let them know, how would they escape?!
Coming out of the restaurant, he didn't take a few steps, and a burst of aroma came to his nose, and Xia Ruqian's index finger suddenly opened. Smelling the fragrance and looking for it, it turned out to be a simple roadside snack.
When the boss saw Xia Ruqian coming with a shallow smell, he immediately greeted: "What is the guest officer?" I have pork rib soup, fresh fish soup, ginseng chicken soup and all kinds of soups, with homemade scallion pancakes, you are sure to eat it and want to eat it again. ”
"Let's have a pork rib soup, a scallion pancake, hurry up!" Xia Ruqian was not pretentious, and ordered food when she sat down.
"Okay, right away." The boss said and went to serve the soup.
Yun Duo was a little stunned, looking at Xia Ruqian's panicked face.
"What's wrong?" Xia Ruqian was a little strange and asked.
"Wang, eh, miss, is it dirty here! How do you just sit down! And order something to eat! What if it's not clean and you get sick? ”
"Ugh." Xia Ruqian sighed and pulled Yun Duo to sit down: "Yun Duo, I'm not worried, what are you worried about, you see, it's not dirty here at all, the tables and chairs are wiped clean!" Besides, how can we eat street food in the house?! ”
The clouds were still uneasy.
"Okay, okay, wait a while, you taste it first, if you think it's okay, I'll eat it again, okay?"
Yun Duo saw that Xia Ruqian was so insistent, so he had to nod and respond.
Xia Ruqian looked around boredly while waiting, and suddenly a little boy with clear eyebrows broke into his sight.
The little boy was only seven or eight years old, his little face was dirty and muddy, and he made his way through the crowd at great speed.
I guess I'm happy to play with mud, right?! Even the face is glued!
Xia Ruqian was sighing at the happiness of his childhood, and suddenly saw the little boy stealing a money bag from the pocket of a passer-by with great skill.
Xia Ruqian frowned, a little surprised, if he hadn't stared at him, it would have been really difficult to find that the little boy who was in the age of innocence was stealing.
Xia Ruqian knows that no one likes to do things like to steal chickens and dogs, if it is not forced by life, then it must be coerced. In either case, it's not something you can turn a blind eye to, after all, it's still a child.
Xia Ruqian immediately beckoned the guards in the distance to come over, and pointed at the little boy again. The guard immediately understood, and left in a flash.
Soon, the guard returned with the imp.
The little imp was thin-skinned, probably knowing that he had been caught stealing, and he blushed, pursed his lips, and did not speak.
Xia Ruqian didn't speak, and pushed the scallion pancake and pork rib soup in front of him, the little ghost looked at Xia Ruqian in surprise, and then grabbed the scallion pancake and devoured it as if she was afraid that she would change her mind.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly, no one will rob you! Don't choke, there's soup here. Xia Ruqian said as she put the pork rib soup into a small bowl and served it to him.
"Thank you" The little ghost's mouth was full of food, vague but still polite, and after eating for a while, he asked, "Sister, can I bring these back?" ”
The little ghost's eyes were bright, and people couldn't bear to refuse, but Xia Ruqian didn't nod, she sank her eyes and asked, "Why do you want to take it back?" Isn't it okay to eat here? Do you take it back to someone else? ”
"Well, my sister." The imp nodded.
Xia Ruqian thought about it again and again, but still felt that he should help him. She ordered another piece of food, wrapped up a bag, and followed the little devil into a deep alley.
In a bustling area like Kyoto, there is such a dilapidated place. Xia Ruqian was a little incredible.
"It's here!" The little ghost pointed to an adobe thatched hut and glanced at Xia Ruqian, and ran in quickly: "Sister, sister, I'm back, you see what delicious food I brought you." ”
"Brother, you're finally back!" A little girl threw herself into the arms of the little ghost, saw Xia Ruqian and his party, and nervously hid behind her brother.
"Yan Xi, don't be afraid, they are good people, these are what that beautiful sister gave me." The little ghost held up the paper bag in his hand and said to his sister.
"Thank you, sister." The girl named Yan Xi timidly poked her head out and glanced at Xia Ruqian, and then shrank back.
"Yan Xi?"
Xia Ru read it playfully, thinking that this name was very beautiful, and it was very strange, such a name was not like the name of an ordinary child, at least her father and mother had read a book, and thought for a while: "Your name is Yan Xi, so what is your name?" ”
"My name is Jingcheng."
"And what happened to your parents?"
"My father was a big businessman, I don't know who offended, overnight, the huge yard burned to ashes, originally the nurse took me and my sister to the suburbs of the orchard to live for a night, came back to find that the home is gone, my father and mother do not know where to go, the nurse saw this scene, also left. My family moved here, and I don't have any relatives, I have no money, I don't know where to go, a beggar uncle said that this is a haunted house where no one lives, so I took my sister to clean up here, this is not actually a haunted house, it is dirty inside, dark, but sheltered from the wind and rain. ”
"And how old are you, have you ever read?"
"I'm twelve years old this year, when I was six years old, my father invited Mr. Teach, read a lot of books, my father said that I was determined to study, grow up and make contributions, but now I ......" Jing Cheng's eyes darkened, and said: "I'm too young now, many places don't want me, I still have a sister to take care of, I have to go to the street to steal people's money bags, but I only steal from rich people, and when I am older, go to work, and I will no longer take other people's money." ”
