Chapter 52: Clean Buns
After walking for most of the day, the two finally saw the crowd and came to a market. Of course, this bazaar couldn't be smaller than the East and West markets of Chang'an.
Jin Yuan Bao found a clean stone bench and sat down to rest and wait for the jade unicorn, the woman didn't know what to do again, and ran away without a trace as soon as she entered the city.
Watching the people coming and going on the street, the gold ingots became more and more uncomfortable. He has a habit of cleanliness, but now he appears in front of people in an extremely embarrassed, even beggar-like state, which is a shame!
At this time, a child in coarse cloth clothes passed in front of him, holding a large white bun in his hand, and when he bit down, the meat filling was exposed. In an instant, the aroma of meat overflows......
The gold ingots sniffed out and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Don't look at indecent things!" He closed his eyes and forced himself not to think about it.
However, the fragrance of the bun became stronger and stronger, as if it was right in front of him......
Belch? No, it should be in front of yourself! The feeling of warmth is unimaginable.
Jin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and saw two white and fat buns in front of him, and the pair of slender hands holding the buns were very familiar......
The gold ingots looked at the hand and was stunned: "Where did you get this bun?" ”
The jade unicorn looked at him with a smile and handed over the bun: "Eat it while it's hot!" ”
Jin Ingot frowned: "Where did I ask you?" ”
The jade qilin had a weak heart, and whispered vaguely in his mouth: "The bun shop over there." ”
"You don't have any money, how can you buy buns?" The gold ingot asked.
"Why do you care so much?"
"You steal ......"
Before he could finish speaking. The jade qilin hurriedly covered his mouth, pulled him to the corner, and whispered, "Don't talk so badly. Didn't you just take two of them? ”
The gold ingots angrily removed her hand: "If you don't ask, you steal!" ”
The jade qilin was unhappy: "What are you talking about?" Am I born to steal? I'm just hungry and 'borrowing' two buns! Won't it be enough to pay it back when you have money when you go back? ”
Jin Yuan looked at the snow-white bun in her hand with a complicated mood, and his eyes slowly fell on her embarrassed clothes and haggard face, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and secretly clenched his fists. self-deprecation and self-blame: "I didn't expect that the son of my dignified general's mansion would want to let the daughter of your old mansion go to 'temporarily borrow' two buns!"
The jade qilin was so hungry that he swallowed his saliva, but he forcibly held back. He handed the bun to the ingots again: "Don't be old, the most important thing is to have a full stomach!" ”
How could her small movements be able to escape the fiery eyes of the gold ingot? The gold ingots naturally saw that she was very hungry. Immediately turned his gaze: "You eat!" ”
"You're not hungry?" The jade unicorn was surprised.
"I ......" Jin Yuan Bao raised his head and made a look of arrogance and disdain: "This kind of bun made by an unknown shop has thick skin and little filling, and the oil and salt are uneven. Not even a dip – I can't get used to it! ”
"You!" The jade unicorn was angry: "I see that you are not hungry yet!" Don't eat pull down! I'll eat it myself! "Say it. I devoured the buns.
Looking at her appearance, Jin Yuan slowly smiled, but in his heart, there was pain and self-blame that could not be hidden.
After she finished eating the bun, Jin Yuan took out the dagger she carried closely, looked at it carefully and carefully, and finally gritted her teeth. Asked, "Where did you get the buns from?" Take me there. ”
"What are you doing?" The jade qilin was very reluctant: "Do you still want to hand me over to the owner?" Young Master Jin, how fast is Jin Da catching? ”
"It's not." The gold ingots showed a rare gentle look. Reaching out and pulling her, "Take me there." ”
"Oh......" Yu Qilin had no choice but to take him towards the bun shop.
After arriving at the bun shop, the gold ingot asked the jade unicorn to stand aside and wait, and walked over by himself.
The jade unicorn looked at him puzzled, but unexpectedly, he quietly put the dagger into the bamboo basket where the shopkeeper was holding things.
The jade qilin was frightened and hurriedly went up to stop him: "What are you doing here?" The dagger is your father's relic! ”
"Shh The gold ingots made a silent movement, pulled the jade unicorn and walked away quietly, and said gently: "I am a fast catcher, a thief!" No one in this world is born a thief, and every thief has his own compelled reasons when he steals something for the first time, but no matter how much he is compelled to do so, he can't change the fact that wrong is wrong, right is right! Today, if I 'borrow' two buns for the last resort because I am hungry, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch thieves in a dignified manner in the future! My dad knew and would have approved of me using the dagger he gave me to 'buy' two buns. ”
For a while, the jade unicorn had mixed tastes in his heart, and whispered in shame: "I ate two buns, and it's not you!" ”
Jin Yuan Bao said calmly and seriously: "You are my wife, no matter what you do, it is my responsibility!" ”
Looking at his gentle and calm face, the jade qilin only felt that there was a place in the center of his head, which seemed to be sour and soft, and he was extremely moved......
The gold ingots smiled, pulled the jade unicorn and left.
Unexpectedly, the jade qilin quickly shook off his hand and took back the dagger from the bamboo basket.
Seeing this, Jin Yuanbao immediately said solemnly: "Xiaoxuan, put it down!" ”
The jade unicorn ignored the ingots, and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper!" ”
The shopkeeper turned around in response and greeted warmly with a smile: "Hot meat buns, do you want a cage?" ”
"Hmm!" The jade qilin nodded, showed an extremely sweet and lovely smile, and handed over the dagger: "We accidentally got separated from the servant, we were hungry, but we didn't have any money with us, and we want to use this dagger to buy you a few baskets of steamed buns, is it okay?" ”
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, took the dagger suspiciously, and looked at the sun, the scabbard was inlaid with gold and silver and engraved with exquisite patterns. When I opened it again, the sword was cold and sharp, and it was extraordinary at a glance.
The shopkeeper nodded with a smile: "The dagger is not bad......" Then he looked up and down at the jade unicorn and the gold ingot, the two of them looked so down, and they suspected that this was a thief, so they said: "Give you two baskets of steamed buns!" ”
When the jade qilin heard this, he was not in a hurry, and opened the bargaining shelf: "Shopkeeper, even if you haven't seen a good dagger, you've always seen a kitchen knife, right?" A good kitchen knife is more than just two steamed buns, and a dagger is always worth more than a kitchen knife! After that, she took the dagger, and while gesturing, she said: "Look at this dagger, the decoration is exquisite, the light can be seen, I dare not say that the iron is like mud, and it is definitely a ...... that is broken by blowing."
When the people who bought the buns heard that there was a bustle here, they all gathered around one by one.
The gold ingots had never bargained with anyone in the market, and his face was a little unbearable, and he grabbed the jade unicorn's hand: "What are you messing about?" Come with me! ”
The jade qilin didn't move at all, slowly withdrew his hand, and looked at the shopkeeper: "If it weren't for us who happened to be separated from the servants, such a good thing wouldn't have fallen into your hands!" After that, he handed the dagger to the shopkeeper: "If you miss this village, you won't have this shop!" ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while, "Three steamed buns!" ”
The jade unicorn said very resolutely: "Four cages! With that, he made a gesture to withdraw the dagger.
The shopkeeper hurriedly grabbed the dagger and hurriedly said, "Deal!" ”
"Be the hottest! Wrap up and take away! The jade unicorn gave the dagger to the shopkeeper.
After the shopkeeper put away the dagger, he loaded the bun with a happy face.
Looking at the hot, white buns, the jade unicorn also smiled.
The people around who bought buns and watched the show also followed suit, but the gold ingots were not used to the market weather, and their faces became more and more embarrassed.
"Madame, take it! Four steamed buns! The shopkeeper handed the bun to the jade unicorn.
The jade unicorn took the burden, opened it, and sent the burden to the shopkeeper: "Please take two more buns out." ”
The shopkeeper did so with a confused face.
Yu Qilin put away the rest of the buns, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, these are the two buns that you will return!" We're now really good at all the money! With that, he winked at the gold ingot.
Jin Yuan suddenly realized, and looked back at her unexpectedly and movingly.
After leaving the bun shop, the two walked down the street in a good mood, and the jade unicorn took out two buns and handed them to the gold ingot: "This bun is clean and innocent, you can eat it with confidence!" In the future, let's continue to catch thieves with dignity! ”
"Hmm!" The gold ingot smiled and took the bun and took a big bite. He was sure that in his life, he had never eaten such delicious buns!
Seeing that he was eating well, the jade unicorn laughed along with him, and also picked up a bun and took a big bite.
***
At the same time, a group of people gathered outside the pig intestine noodle stall, and one of them, a brightly dressed man, was holding a jade pendant of gold ingots in his hand and carefully examining it.
A man in a strong suit on the side also glanced at the jade pendant, and hurriedly asked, "Master, this is not Jin Shao......"
The man raised his hand, interrupted his words, and said, "Yes." ”
Immediately, he glanced at the nervous pig intestine noodle boss and asked, "Where did this thing come from?" ”
The boss looked at him nervously: "A man and a woman have no money to eat white food, so they use this to offset the ......" After thinking about it, he rubbed his hands again and asked, "Guest officer, is this thing worth it?" ”
The man shook his head: "It's not worth it." ”
"Alas, I knew that I had been fooled! That man and woman have no money, and they are poor and exquisite, so I know that the Tao is not a good thing! The boss was so anxious that he stamped his feet and felt remorseful.
The man took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it in his hand: "The jade pendant is fake, this can't be fake." ”
Seeing this, the boss hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, but the man retracted his hand: "Tell me the whereabouts of those two people, and this ingot of silver is yours." ”
The boss hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction: "I went over there, I should have gone to Dongjia Town." ”
Hearing this, the man smiled slightly, and threw the silver to him: "Thank you." ”
The boss hurriedly took the silver, put it in his mouth and bit it, and asked happily, "Did the guest officer go to catch those two who ate white food?" However, when he looked up again, the man had already gone away with the crowd. (To be continued......)
