Chapter Sixty-Nine: Red Roots? Sweet potato?
After leaving the Xilie Marquis's Mansion, the Nine Emperors of the Sword said goodbye to Mu Qiuhuang. Mu Qiuhuang knew that he was a free and casual person, and it was already his limit to be able to stay in Beiyu to teach himself for seven years for some reason, and now that he had been promoted to a sword immortal, it was impossible for Mu Qiuhuang to let him follow him as a bodyguard. What's more, the Sword Immortal is dead, and the rest of the Heavenly Realm masters Mu Qiuhuang have all seen it, whether it is a direct or indirect relationship, Mu Qiuhuang doesn't think that these people will pose a threat to him, and except for the Heavenly Realm masters, other people really don't care much in Mu Qiuhuang's eyes. But having said this, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but think of the Sword Immortal who wanted to kill him at the beginning, until now, he didn't understand how the Sword Fairy could find him in the first place? After the Sword Fairy was besieged and killed, the body was transported back and handed over to Mu Qingen, but Mu Qingen was also very sure that he did not have any grudges with the Sword Fairy...... However, these things are in the past. Mu Qiuhuang didn't believe that there would be love and hate in this world for no reason, that is to say, he didn't think that there would be any more characters of the realm of the Sword Immortal to find trouble for him. After all, he is not a cat or a dog, he is the prince of Beiyu, and there is a sword immortal master, and the power he has behind him is enough to make most people fearful.
All in all, Mu Qiuhuang's mood today is extremely happy. The confession with Ji Ruoxue tonight made his spirit completely relaxed, and what made him even more overjoyed was that Ji Ruoxue acquiesced to Su Xiaoxiao's existence, which means that he no longer has to worry about separating from these two.
When Mu Qiuhuang returned to the inn, he found that Su Xiaoxiao was sitting at the door of the inn waiting for him.
"Childe, are you back?" Seeing Mu Qiuhuang appear, Su Xiaoxiao greeted him with a happy face.
"Why are you outside the inn? And you're still wearing such thin clothes, it's still very cold outside than in summer......" While speaking, Mu Qiuhuang held Su's small hands and found that her hands were really cold.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a distressed face, a trace of warmth welled up in her heart, and she said softly: "Because, stay outside to see Gongzi earlier." ”
Mu Qiuhuang sighed helplessly, hurriedly took off his cloak and draped it on Su Xiaoxiao's body, and held her hands with his own hands and kept breathing hot.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a happy face, and suddenly didn't know what came to mind? He laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but say with a puzzled expression.
"Haha...... I watched Childe be so angry, and suddenly I remembered that I had eaten roasted red letch outside before. Su said with a small smile.
"Roasted red roots?" Mu Qiuhuang was still puzzled: "What is that?" ”
"Isn't it! Childe, you haven't even eaten roasted red roots? Su Xiaoxiao looked shocked, but then thought that it was normal for Mu Qiuhuang to have never eaten cheap food that could only be bought from these roadside stalls.
"What? Is roasted red vetch delicious? Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but wonder.
"Of course." Su Xiaoxiao replied without thinking: "If you eat a roasted red lotus in cold weather, it is definitely the happiest thing." ”
"Isn't the happiest thing in cold weather to eat hot pot?" Mu Qiuhuang was a little unconvinced.
"It's two different kinds of happiness entirely." Su Xiaoxiao explained: "The source of happiness of hot pot and red lotus is different, hot pot is more lively and more fragrant to eat, and red lotus can feel happy when you eat it alone." The moment you hold the hot red lotus in your hand, you can feel extremely happy, its skin looks crispy, you can feel a fragrance coming to your nose when you smell it, gently break the red lotus in half, the red flesh inside is steaming, just looking at it is enough to make your mouth water, and then gently bite into the soft and sweet flesh, it can be sweet to people's hearts......"
"Really?" Mu Qiuhuang licked her lips involuntarily and said, "I really want to eat what you said." ”
"Of course, Xiaoxiao dares to guarantee that its deliciousness is definitely beyond your imagination." Su Xiaowan also swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and said, "Actually, Xiaoxiao also wants to eat it very much." ”
"Haha...... You're a greedy snacker. Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Since we both want to eat, why don't we go eat now!" ”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Childe, you still say that I am a little gluttonous cat, in my opinion, you are much more gluttonous than me?" ”
"Good...... Childe, I'm more gluttonous than you, let's go out and eat now! By the way, you go back to your room first and then put on some clothes, so don't catch a cold in such a cold weather. ”
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, he said with regret: "This roasted red lotus is not like a hot pot, it is not something you can eat if you want to, only after the first snow falls in winter, it will also be sold at street stalls outside." ”
"Oh? Why is that? Mu Qiuhuang was puzzled.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and explained: "This little old man who used to hear the old man who sold roasted red lotus said that it seems that only the red lotus that has experienced the first snow will become extremely sweet when it is roasted. ”
"Okay!" Mu Qiuhuang sighed and said: "It seems that all things in the world have their characteristics, but according to what you say, I think this roasted red lotus is more precious than hot pot, after all, hot pot can be eaten at any time, but roasted red lotus can only be eaten at a certain time." ”
"What Childe said is extremely true." Su Xiao laughed.
"You!" Mu Qiuhuang shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm afraid that no matter what I say in your mouth, you are saying what I said, right?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao said with a shy face: "That's because what Childe said is indeed right!" ”
"You!" Mu Qiuhuang gently scratched Ji Ruoxue's nose twice, and said with a smile: "By the way, I still have good news to tell you." ”
"What's the good news?"
Mu Qiuhuang said happily: "I told Xue'er about the matter between you and me today, but instead of blaming me, Xue'er said that she wanted to get to know you another day!" ”
"Did Miss Ji really say that?" Su Xiaoxiao also said excitedly. Although she had told Mu Qiuhuang before that she had nothing else to ask for, she just wanted to be by Mu Qiuhuang's side, but as a woman, how could anyone really not care about that status? The reason why she said that before was because she was afraid that Ji Ruoxue would not agree, and she didn't want Mu Qiuhuang to be embarrassed, she knew that her identity would definitely not be comparable to Ji Ruoxue. But now it's different, Ji Ruoxue knows her existence, and she also recognizes the relationship between the two of them, and she can get the approval of the main owner, at least she won't have to sneak around in the future, she won't and dare not ask for the position of a wife, and she will be satisfied to have the status of a concubine.
"Of course it's true!" Mu Qiuhuang said happily: "In two days, I will officially introduce you to Xue'er, and then the three of us will go to Miaojiang to find Mr. Gu." ”
"Hmm!" Su Xiao nodded heavily, she would only feel that happiness had come too suddenly.
Suddenly, Su's tiny belly growled.
Mu Qiuhuang looked puzzled and said, "Shouldn't you haven't eaten yet?" ”
"Hmm!" Su nodded slightly.
After getting an affirmative answer, Mu Qiuhuang said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to wait for me to eat today?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao said with a aggrieved face: "If the son is not there, Xiaoxiao has no appetite at all." ”
"Let's go, let's go eat first!" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but take Ji Ruoxue's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
Fortunately, the entire inn has already been wrapped up by the two of them, and the innkeeper also knows that these two people are big money owners, so the whole inn from the shopkeeper to the small house is serving the two wholeheartedly. At this time, hearing that the gold owner wanted to eat, the kitchen also cleaned up a table of meals as quickly as possible.
Just when Mu Qiuhuang was eating with Su Xiaoxiao, I saw the innkeeper walk in with a tray.
"The two guest officers are noble people at a glance, they are used to fine clothes and jade food on weekdays, and the chefs of the small shop have limited skills, and I hope that the two of them will bear with me......" After saying a lot of nonsense, I saw the shopkeeper put the tray on the table, and said like a treasure: "This is the specialty snack of the chef of the small shop, and it is not elegant to be elegant, but it is also the most popular thing in this season, and it is perfect as an after-dinner snack. ”
"Oh? What is it, open it and let my son see, if it is really as good as you say, my son will be rewarded. Mu Qiuhuang said with a smile.
The shopkeeper saw that his recommendation had played a role, and he was naturally full of joy. In the past few days, seeing that these two people have been interested in the signature dishes of his store, the innkeeper knew that these two people were used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food, and knew that the gluttonous feast in the eyes of ordinary people seemed to them to be tired of eating, so he secretly thought about it. Today, after the little guy who drove the carriage came back to report, the shopkeeper confirmed his conjecture, after all, it was the first time he had seen a person who was qualified to be a guest in the Xiliehou Mansion. So he summoned the whole stack of guys to think of a countermeasure, he didn't want to drive these two gold owners away because of dietary problems. In the end, it occurred to him that since these two lived in the clouds, they must be used to eating precious things such as bird's nest and shark fin, and maybe they would be interested in things they had not eaten. So, he thought of the special roasted sweet potato here, so he dared to recommend it.
At the moment when the shopkeeper lifted the lid on the tray, he saw Su's little eyes light up and said, "Roast red roots." ”
"So this is roasted red lettuce?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but look at it.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to pick up one and break it open, and handed it half to Mu Qiuhuang.
"Red Lotus?" The shopkeeper touched his head and explained carelessly: "Guest officer, this is called roasted sweet potato ...... us."
Su Xiaoxiao shook his head and argued: "This is roasted red roots. ”
The shopkeeper said with a look of grievance: "The villain doesn't dare to deceive the two guest officers, this is really called sweet potato, the villain is from snacks to big, if you two don't believe it, you can find someone to ask......"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him like this, and didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he couldn't help but smile: "Okay...... Sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes, anyway, things are roasted red roots. ”
The shopkeeper seemed to want to defend himself, but he was directly sealed by the silver ticket that Mu Qiuhuang took out.
In Mu Qiuhuang's opinion, it doesn't matter if it's called red lotus or sweet potato, the important thing is that Su Xiaoxiao likes it.
