80, [How much is a pound of cloud cake]

The big rabbit in the crowd was ordered to be eradicated by Bao Zheng because it seriously affected the road surface of the state capital.

So early in the morning, a large group of officials shoveled snow rabbits at the door.

Zhan Zhao only took a nap last night, and he had all kinds of strange dreams, all of which were quarrels with Xue Baigui and Qin Lisheng in the White Ghost Villa. As for what it meant to quarrel and not fight, the Zhan guards couldn't explain it clearly, but it was true that they didn't sleep well, so that the two dark circles under their eyes were clearly visible.

Bai Yutang's room is next door to Zhanzhao, last night I listened to the cat tossing and turning on the bed and didn't know what to do, sure enough, when I went out, I bumped into Zhanzhao with two dark circles under his eyes, like a bamboo bear, yawning and rubbing his neck - with an expression that I didn't wake up.

Bai Yutang looked him up and down, "Nightmares?" ”

"It's almost ......" Zhanzhao yawned and stretched a big waist, when he heard a "stab" sound behind him.

Zhan Zhao blinked and turned his head......

Seeing Xiao Wu behind him, it didn't know whether Lu Dao was deliberately making trouble, or if he wanted to say good morning to Zhanzhao, in short, he saw it holding Zhanzhao's clothes and pulling them back......

Zhan Zhao stared at the back swing of his half in Xiao Wu's mouth for a long time, and his face wrinkled into a bun, "You're here again?!" ”

Xiao Wu shook his head, shook off the back swing, and rubbed Zhanzhao twice like a big cat, and hooked his tail to bring up the half of the back swing.

Bai Yutang stepped on it very hard to hold back the "poof" sound that came to his mouth, it is estimated that in addition to raising Xiaowu, Zhanzhao will have to buy a lot of clothes every month, and two pieces will be torn in a blink of an eye.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, turned around and pounced on Xiao Wu, "It's up to you!" You ripped my two shirts and lost money! I won't kill you! ”

So, because they drank wine last night and didn't sleep enough, the people in Kaifeng were a little sleepy, and they saw Zhanzhao chasing Xiao Wu around in the yard.

"It's in good spirits." Gongsun yawned.

Outside the courtyard, Zhao Pu came in with a little fourth son who was gnawing on a zongzi.

The little four sons have been used to being carried by Zhao Pu recently, sitting high and seeing far away, and the scenery above is unique.

After eating breakfast in a hurry, everyone was busy.

Lord Bao continued to provide disaster relief, Zhao Pu led the soldiers to distribute supplies, and Gongsun gave the post-mortem to the patients who came to see a doctor, leaving Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, as well as the most idle little four sons.

The little fourth son was wrapped in a white sheepskin jacket and wore a rabbit-eared hat, sitting on the back of a black tiger, dangling small boots with bells, while reading an idle book.

Zhan Zhao sat on a stone bench beside him, reading a dossier, which Ochre Ying brought a few shadow guards to help him inquire about the movements of White Ghost Villa and Pan Laosan in recent years. Thick portion, these are all military camps dedicated to spies to investigate the enemy, Zhanzhao always feels that it is really useless to let them collect the wind. But then again, connoisseurs are connoisseurs, reliable, the collection is so detailed, even what the two of them usually like to eat and drink.

Bai Yutang was also sitting at the table, and he also had a file in his hand, which was obtained by Ziying from where he didn't know where Lu Dao, the accounts of the White Ghost Villa, and the property of several family members.

Crescent Moon sat beside him, quickly dialing the abacus, as if she was helping to settle the account, and Chen Xing'er reported the number.

"Young master, it's all over." The crescent moon showed Bai Yutang the total number calculated after the last round.

Bai Yutang glanced at it, compared the accounts in his hand again, and frowned.

"How?" Zhan Zhao came over.

"No." Bai Yutang said, "The actual income of the White Ghost Villa is far more than the income they earn from selling wood and medicinal herbs!" ”

"Are you really selling forgetfulness?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "But if it's really as the prefect Wang said, they are doing such a large-scale business of forgetting worries and scattering, and it seems that they should make more than that." ”

"Pan Laosan doesn't have much real estate himself, and he seems to be wholeheartedly making money for the White Ghost Villa." Crescent Moon held a large account book and frowned, "So selfless." ”

"Ghost letter." Zhan Zhao muttered, "He can do good things, and the sows go up the tree, there must be something weird!" Let's find out where the money goes. ”

Bai Yutang nodded.

Zhan Zhao looked at the clues investigated by the shadow guards in his hand again, "This Pan Laosan's favorite places to go are the theater and a teahouse, and there is a confidante in Xiaoyan Building." ”

"Pan Laosan went to the garden?" Bai Yutang is curious, this kind of martial arts practitioner would like to watch a play?

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Did you change sex after leaving Kaifeng?" ”

"How?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Pan Xu is anxious for quick success, all his energy is focused on climbing up, where will he go to see what troupe." Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes slightly, "There should be something wrong with this opera garden." ”

"Why don't we go check it out too?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao was stunned, "Go to the theater to watch a play?" ”

"I'll go too!" The little fourth son was bored, and when he heard that he was going to watch a play in the garden, he clapped his hands happily.

"Well......" Zhanzhao seemed a little embarrassed.

"How?" Bai Yutang asked him.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Am I here with Master Bao for disaster relief, everyone is busy, if I go to the theater garden......"

Bai Yutang understood and nodded, indeed, of course, acquaintances know that Lu Dao Zhanzhao went to investigate the case, but the surname of the boss of the state capital is not known Lu Dao, if it is rumored to go out, wouldn't it be a shame for Kaifeng Mansion?

"Then let me go." Bai Yutang said, "Anyway, I'm not from Kaifeng Mansion, nor am I from Zhao Jiajun." As he spoke, he lifted the little fourth son up, "I'll take him by the way, take the child to watch the play, it's normal." ”

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a long time, and suddenly covered his mouth and laughed.

Bai Yutang looked at him with some puzzlement.

What kind of smile is Zhan Zhao for? Bai Yutang took his children to the theater, which is normal...... It's funny!

However, in the end, it was decided that Bai Yutang would take the little fourth son to watch the play, and Zhanzhao went to the inn opposite the opera garden to find a room with a good view to monitor. The premise is that the two of them said that Bai Yutang is just going to investigate the situation and try not to startle the snake, of course, having a little fourth son is the best cover.

The two acted separately, Bai Yutang took the little fourth son to the most famous opera garden in the state capital, that is, the one where Pan Laosan often goes, called Fengwu Caixia, in addition to singing, there are also jugglers, which is very lively.

Xiao Sizi is not a child with a too lively personality, and he is not very naughty, and he will not be very excited when he sees juggling or something, but he will be curious, and he will be afraid of life, so he hides behind Bai Yutang and wants to watch it again.

Bai Yutang led him with one hand and entered the opera garden...... Fortunately, there were a lot of people, many of whom were also with children, and no one noticed him.

Zhan Zhao went to a room on the second floor of the inn opposite, and he couldn't see it very clearly downstairs, but it was facing the window of a private room on the second floor, if Bai Yutang could go upstairs and stay in this room, then he would be able to see clearly.

Zhan Zhao was thinking about it when he heard a "stab".

Stunned, he turned around......

Xiao Wu held half of his clothes behind him and looked up at him.

The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched...... What's wrong with this big cat?! I like to tear the back hem of people's clothes so much?! No, I haven't seen it pull others, just pull yourself!

Zhanzhao was so angry, he only brought a few pieces of clothes out in total, and three pieces were scrapped at once! But this is not the time to chase Xiao Wu and beat it, Zhanzhao turned his head and glared at it, "I'll clean you up later!" ”

With all that said, continue to monitor.

Xiao Wu's two front paws grabbed the window edge, and looked at the situation outside with Zhanzhao, and his tail continued to tease the back hem of Zhanzhao's half of his torn clothes.

……

Bai Yutang saw that there seemed to be a private room on the second floor, so he went upstairs.

"Ugh." At this time, a man who looked like a man stepped forward to stop him, "This master, you can only enter the upstairs if you are a regular customer." ”

Bai Yutang glanced at him, the guy was startled, and said in his heart that this son is so good-looking.

"What kind of regular?" Bai Yutang asked.

"It's just that I've watched enough of a year's play, and a play costs five cents......" Before the guy finished speaking, Bai Yutang handed him a silver ticket, "Have you watched it for a year?" ”

"Uh......" The guy held the silver ticket with his eyes shining, and went upstairs, "It's enough, upstairs please." He shouted to the guy upstairs, "Regulars, I want a private room!" ”

The guy upstairs agreed, and immediately came out to pick it up.

The stairs are quite high, they are almost to the knees of Xiao Sizi, he struggled to get up, Bai Yutang reached out and picked him up, went upstairs, and at the same time looked at the crowd of people downstairs who were making a noise to watch the play and watch the juggling. When I went upstairs, I found that it was so big that the number of people was five hundred......

Bai Yutang couldn't help frowning--the people of this state capital like to watch dramas so much?

On the second floor, a man courteously led Bai Yutang to an elegant hut, brought him refreshments, and told him that he could see the windows on both sides, the east side to the west and the west side to see the style.

Bai Yutang nodded, and the guy went out, helped him bring the door, and went over to push open the back window...... When I looked up, I saw Zhan Zhao and Hei Hu lying on the side of the bed together, and when I saw the window open, Zhan Zhao smiled and beckoned to him.

Bai Yutang looked at him, and then at the black tiger - of course, it was his own family! The demeanor is called a likeness!

The little fourth son took out a small purse from his arms and put it on the table.

Bai Yutang wondered at first, what was inside this small purse, but the little fourth son opened the purse and pulled out a cloth curtain, opened it, and there was a row of silver needles inside, which was the silver needles that Gongsun usually used for acupuncture.

Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and saw what the little four were sitting in the opposite room, although it was the opposite face, but after all, it was across the street, and he couldn't really see what the people were talking about, Zhan Zhao was in a hurry.

"Little fourth son, what are you doing?" Bai Yutang was a little puzzled.

The little fourth son narrowed his eyes, "Daddy said to be careful when you go out!" After speaking, he picked up a silver needle, poked it in the tea cake, confirmed that it was not poisonous, put away the silver needle, grabbed two osmanthus cakes, one for himself and one for Bai Yutang, and ran to the window to see the somersault below.

Zhan Zhao was frowning and looking around, and suddenly saw Bai Yutang raise his hand, as if he had thrown something at him, a white flower thing flew towards him, Zhan Zhao instinctively reached out to take it, and looked down...... A piece of osmanthus cake.

Zhan Zhao was a little speechless, holding the osmanthus cake in his mouth and gesturing to Bai Yutang - be serious!

Bai Yutang shook his head, stood in the room, and first looked around the surrounding environment, it was not too high-end, but it was not bad for a small place like the state capital.

When he arrived at the window in the east, he was singing operas, and he didn't understand the local operas in some states and regions.

On the other side, I saw a lot of people juggling downstairs outside the window.

Xiao Sizi held his face and looked at it, and after eating a piece of osmanthus cake, he felt bored, raised his face to look at Bai Yutang, pouted and said, "It's boring." ”

Bai Yutang can understand what Xiao Sizi said is boring - this is no different from the ordinary juggling team, there are many opera gardens in Kaifeng that sing local operas from all over the world, and the famous team is turning over new places, Xiao Sizi has seen it, and when he encounters this kind of third-rate goods, he is naturally boring.

Xiao Sizi tilted his head, as if he had found something, ran to move a small bench, stepped on the small half of his body from the window to look, startled Bai Yutang, and quickly reached out to drag him back, saying that if he fell down, Gongsun would have to fight with him.

Not only Bai Yutang was startled, but Zhanzhao was also shocked, and at the same time wondered - did he find something?

The black tiger looked at him, and saw that he was anxious and couldn't exert his strength, and his big head rubbed against him, which means - play!

Zhan Zhao pushed its big face to the side - don't make a mess.

"What do you see?" Bai Yutang asked the little fourth son puzzled.

"These people don't watch the drama or juggle, what are they doing here?" The fourth child was a little puzzled, "Is there anything else to see?" ”

Bai Yutang carried the little fourth son, observed it outside, and frowned slightly-this dense crowd of people downstairs is more lively than the market, just to watch such a third-rate troupe and juggling? Irrationality. Besides, if you look closely, you will find that these people actually come and go, and in the blink of an eye, they are replaced by another group, they are wandering around, their eyes wandering, looking everywhere, they just don't watch the performance on the stage, it's just weird.

Look seriously here, and grind your teeth on the other side - what are you looking at?!

"In vain." Xiao Sizi suddenly patted Bai Yutang, pointed to the plate held by a few guys below and asked, "That walnut cake is so expensive, isn't it delicious?" ”

Bai Yutang looked again, and saw a few guys, holding a tray in their hands, and a piece of walnut cake on the plate. But I didn't see them eating, but I put it away, and in a blink of an eye, the man walked away quickly, carrying walnut cake in his arms.

Xiao Sizi narrowed his eyes, "That cake...... It's so expensive.

Bai Yutang looked at him and asked, "Is a piece of walnut cake worth dozens of dollars very expensive?" ”

The little fourth son opened his mouth wide and raised his face to look at him, "It's only five cents to watch a play!" ”

Bai Yutang blinked, "Then?" ”

Xiao Sizi's mouth opened a little wider, "A pound of walnut cake is only two or three dollars!" ”

"Really?" Bai Yutang touched his chin, it seemed that it was the first time he had heard of it.

Xiao Sizi stared at him for a while, "Do you know how much a pound of eggs costs in Lu Dao?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded, "Zhilu Dao." ”

"How much?" Xiao Sizi squinted his eyes and asked.

Bai Yutang touched his chin and looked outside embarrassedly, "This walnut cake is expensive......"

The little fourth son pointed at him, "Pretend!" ”

Bai Yutang was helpless.

"How much does a grapefruit cost?" The little fourth son then asked.

Bai Yutang coughed.

"How much is a bucket of rice?"

Bai Yutang then coughed.

"How much does a pound of salt cost?"

…… Bai Yutang was still coughing, and the little fourth son reached out to check his pulse, and looked at him with slanted eyes--there was no cold at all! Not knowing the way is not knowing the way.

Zhan Zhao is anxious on the other side, 10,000 kittens tickle in my heart, what is a big and a novel about? Bai Yutang looked embarrassed, and the little fourth son looked serious...... What the hell?

The black tiger tilted his head to look at Zhanzhao - his master was an impatient!

……

Bai Yutang was silent for a long time, "I don't know if it's strange?" ”

Xiao Sizi raised his face, "I'm four and a half years old, I know the way, this is common sense in life!" ”

Bai Yutang scratched his head, and was speechless.

Xiao Sizi patted his arm and said very seriously, "In vain, you are easy to be deceived and sold when you go out!" ”

Bai Yutang couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that you little fat man was deceived and sold.

The fourth son was serious, and he wanted to popularize basic knowledge for Bai Yutang, and Bai Yutang stuffed a few pieces of snacks into his mouth, so that he had no time to talk when he ate it. After that, Bai Yutang stood by the window and looked at the people below......

Zhan Zhao leaned against the window and felt thirsty, so he was so anxious that he grabbed the teapot and drank some water, and waved to the other side.

When Bai Yutang saw it, he looked at him.

Zhan Zhao pointed to himself, trying to make a puzzled look.

Bai Yutang waved his hand, motioning for him to wait.

Zhan Zhao Wangtian - I can't comprehend it at all, where did the previous mind reading and mind transmission techniques go?

Bai Yutang observed for a long time, and although there was a commotion below, he could still hear a few guests saying, "Is there a walnut cake?" The guy would ask, "Yes, is it expensive or cheap?" ”

Guests will say, "The most expensive, the best." ”

Then the guy who sells walnut cake on a plate will come over, give the silver in one hand, take the cake in the other, and the people who take the walnut cake are basically gone.

"Hmmm......"

Bai Yutang was watching, and he heard that the little fourth son next to him finally finished chewing the last bite of walnut cake, and seemed to be about to speak again.

Bai Yutang was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, what kind of cake would cost a catty, so he hurriedly stuffed another piece of cake into his mouth.

Xiao Sizi wrinkled his nose, took the pastry out of his mouth, and sniffed around, as if he had smelled something strange.

"How?" Bai Yutang asked him.

"Sweet." Xiao Sizi touched his nose, "Hmm...... The taste of tobacco. ”

"Tobacco?" Bai Yutang also paid attention to it, and there was indeed a sweet smell of fragrance, which seemed to come from next door.

Bai Yutang walked to the door, opened the door gently, flashed out, and when he arrived at the door of the next guest room, he smelled the sweetness even stronger.

Zhan Zhao was about to squat on the edge of the window, why did the two of them run out of the house? What did you find?

Xiao Wu put his black claws on Zhanzhao's belt, which means - don't fall down!

Bai Yutang looked left and right at no one, gently poked the paper door of the next room, poked a hole, and glanced inside, and saw a young man in a gorgeous costume lying on a couch, accompanied by two beautiful women, the man was holding a strange lamp, and was swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

Bai Yutang heard a movement below, lowered his head, and saw that the little fourth son also tiptoed to him, stretched out a heel finger and licked it, and then "poof", stabbed the paper door, and looked inside.

Bai Yutang looked at the sky, stretched out his hand and picked up the little fourth son, flashed into his door, and the moment he closed the door, the guy downstairs came up and knocked on the door next door, "Second master, your cloud cake is here." ”

Then I heard a creaking sound, and one of the women who seemed to be accompanying her just now came out, closed the door, took the cloud cake, and talked to the fellow at the door.

I heard the guy ask, "How is the second master?" ”

"It's swallowing clouds and spitting fog."

"Pan Ye said, this is a distinguished guest, you have to be careful!" After the guy finished speaking, he left.

The girl went in with the "cloud cake" in her hand.

Bai Yutang leaned against the door and listened with his ears sideways, and when he looked down, the little fourth son was also leaning on the door and listening with his ears sideways.

Bai Yutang was a little worried about Gongsun, this baby followed them and Zhao Puman's world all day long, and learned all kinds of eavesdropping and peeping.

Zhan Zhao on the other side was no longer entangled at this time, leaning on the side of the bed with his chin and watching the big and small toss over there, and said in his heart that he had already known that he called a dim sum and watched it while eating.

Bai Yutang walked back to the table, poured a cup of tea for Xiao Sizi, touched his chin and thought about his heart.

After looking at it, I saw Zhan Zhao and Xiao Wu lying bored by the window, with uniform expressions, tilting their heads and looking confused and bored, probably not understanding what they were doing, after all, they couldn't hear the sound.

Bai Yutang grabbed a box of snacks on the table and threw it over.

Zhan Zhao caught the box and ate snacks - now the heart transmission technique is working again?

Bai Yutang thought about it, got up and opened the door, just as a guy passed by, "Yo, master, what do you want?" ”

"I want the best cloud cake." Bai Yutang's voice was not small.

The little four blinked - oh, the best cloud cake! Sure enough, there are good things to eat in vain.

Upstairs opposite, Zhan Zhao, who was holding a snack, used the previous Yin Hou taught to improve his ear strength, and heard such a sentence floating in the wind, and was almost choked by the dim sum - what do you want cloud cakes for in the opera garden in Baiyutang? Could it be that you have become a foodie after staying with yourself for too long? Or does the little fourth son want to eat cloud cake? He remembered that Bai Yutang didn't like to eat sweet things. Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but shake his head - this boring man! If you don't like sweet, you don't like spicy, you don't like to eat vegetables, you don't like to eat, you love to drink.

The guy was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Oh, there is it in the eight-treasure dim sum box that the cloud cake sent in before, and the guest officer still wants it?" ”

Bai Yutang glanced at him, "Lao Pan said that there are good things here, whether it's true or not, I don't know, it's true that the guy can't do things." ”

"Oops." The guy immediately smiled all over his face, "Look at what this master said, it turned out to be a friend of Pan Ye, you said it earlier, I will give you the best snack." After saying that, he ran away with a smile.

After a while, he came back with a tray with a very delicate porcelain box on top of it, and a strange lamp next to it, just like the one they had seen the "second master" smoking next door before.

Bai Yutang nodded, took it, and threw a silver ingot to the guy.

Dude and run.

Bai Yutang returned to the table and put the tray down.

Xiao Sizi walked over and looked at Bai Yutang with a serious face.

Bai Yutang looked at him and was startled—what's wrong with the little guy.

Xiao Sizi said in a sullen voice, "Such a small box of cloud cakes, you actually give people such a big ingot of silver, loser!" ”

Bai Yutang smiled.

The fourth son then despised Bai Yutang, "He also said that Zunzun spends money indiscriminately, and you spend money even more, and you don't know how to save a little." ”

Bai Yutang shook his head and pointed to the porcelain box, "It's not a cloud cake here. ”

The little fourth son tilted his head.

Bai Yutang opened the box.

I saw that it was not a piece of pure white cloud cake, but a box of black paste, similar to the ointment made of boiling medicine, a brown and black piece, which seemed to be soft, but felt sticky and tough.

Xiao Sizi was stunned, picked up the porcelain box and sniffed it, frowned and put it down, "It's to forget your worries." ”

"Are you sure?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Well, my father taught me to recognize it." Xiao Sizi nodded, and looked at the cigarette lamp next to him, as if he understood, "Oh, they use the name of selling pastries to sell forget their worries, no wonder a piece of pastry is so expensive, and there is medicine hidden in it!" ”

Bai Yutang nodded and touched the head of the little fourth son--Isn't it quite clever?

Zhan Zhao was far away, and he saw Bai Yutang and Xiao Sizi around the table and didn't know what to study, he couldn't hear clearly, and he couldn't exert his strength, so he was sighing helplessly, and suddenly heard someone talking below, "Master Pan, why are you here......"

As soon as Zhan Zhao lowered his head and frowned, he saw a carriage coming at the door of the troupe, and as soon as the curtain was raised, Pan Xu walked down, and the guy hurriedly came out.

Zhan Zhao frowned, Pan Xu is here, don't bump into Bai Yutang and the little fourth son.

Thinking about it, Zhanzhao waved to the second floor opposite.

Bai Yutang and Xiao Sizi were studying the tobacco leaves, and they didn't pay attention to Zhanzhao on the other side.

Zhan Zhao is in a hurry.

Boss Pan entered the opera garden, looked around, and asked the guy, "Have any people from Kaifeng Mansion come in the past two days?" ”

"There is no master!" The guy said, "We're all watching."

"Be careful lately, and if you find something wrong, just take the sale." Pan Laosan said as he walked to the second floor.

"Don't worry, Master Pan, we'll watch it tightly."

Bai Yutang finished studying and raised his head, and saw Zhanzhao on the other side waving his hand and pointing to him at the door.

Bai Yutang felt that someone was going upstairs at this time, and flashed behind the door to listen.

I heard a voice coming from outside the door, "Master Pan, the second master is here, greet me according to your instructions." ”

"Oh." Pan Xu nodded, "Be careful, but the wind has been tight lately, after all, Bao Zheng is here, when those regular customers leave in a while, tell them that it's best to eat snacks at home in the past two days, don't go outside." ”

"Gotcha." The guy nodded, and suddenly said again, "By the way, you still have a friend here, it's a big deal, Pan Ye is Pan Ye, and everyone I know is a dignitary." ”

……

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and said secretly--It's not good!

Sure enough, Pan Xu seemed to be a little puzzled, "Another friend?" Who is it? ”

At this time, if Pan Xu broke in and saw Bai Yutang, it would be tantamount to startling the snake. But even if Bai Yutang hugged the little fourth son and hurried away, with Pan Xu's shrewdness, he should be able to smell it, he should be cautious, and he might even accept the deal.

Bai Yutang looked at the opposite side again, and saw that Zhanzhao was no longer in the house.
