Chapter 022: Vinegar Taste

Approaching noon, Li Wenxuan and Zhao Tianer went out together. Beggars have no fixed place to live, and it is really not easy to find someone. However, if it is almost time to eat, it will be easy to find, after all, they will all come out to forage for food. As for the ideal place, it is a place to eat large and small.

Li Wenxuan thought that the little beggar Zhao Tian'er had given alms was not brave enough to break into the high-end restaurant, so he decided to come to a place around him to eat for the first time. The reason why I wanted to find that little beggar was that I guessed that they were very sensitive, would not easily trust strangers, and also had their own territory secretly divided.

Li Wenxuan believes that Zhao Tian'er, a kind-hearted sister, has a good image, so it is easy to communicate with the little beggar who has received her favor. If you have a little beggar to thread the needle through it, then you can see the leader of their group of beggars. He firmly believes that it should not be difficult for the two sides to reach a verbal agreement, after all, the treatment of two big white steamed buns per person per meal is still quite good.

The two came to an intersection and sat down at a street stall selling pasta. When I saw the stall owner who had business coming to my door, he came over and said, "Two, what do you want to eat?" I have green onion noodles, hand-picked hands, steamed buns, and freshly out of the cage cabbage stuffed meat buns. ”

Li Wenxuan, who was sitting facing east, was not hungry, but he knew that just sitting here and waiting, it would definitely make the stall owner unhappy, after all, it would affect his business. Turning his head, he looked at Zhao Tian'er next to him and said, "If you're hungry, order what you like." If you're not hungry, then put some steamed buns here and give them to eat later. ”

Knowing what he meant, Zhao Tian'er, who had been busy all morning, had a relatively large amount of physical energy, which made her stomach really hungry. He and he gradually lost the sense of master and servant, and established a kind of family-like trust with each other, and said generously: "Come to a bowl of copying hands, ten steamed buns." ”

While they were talking, the stall owner went to greet the other table. Looking back, he couldn't believe that the little girl in front of him and this show could eat so many things. The stall owner, who didn't talk much, had the idea of being able to sell more, so he turned around and went to prepare for the two of them.

The stall owner brought the food that Zhao Tianer wanted to eat on the table twice, and she picked up the chopsticks and just ate them, and saw four little beggars coming from a distance. In a moment, he recognized the little beggar who had given alms yesterday, and suddenly stood up, and said with excitement in his voice: "It's him." ”

made Li Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, and pulled her to sit down quickly, and Zhao Tian'er, who realized that she was out of shape, naughtily stuck out her little tongue. Only when the four little beggars approached the stall owner to beg for food, he said without hurry: "I have steamed buns here." You can take it and eat it. ”

After they looked at each other, they hurried to the table, and stretched out their dirty hands that they hadn't washed for a long time to grab steamed buns to eat. Li Wenxuan, who could smell the rancid smell of the four beggars, did not flash to the side and complain like the guests sitting at a table next to him, but kept a kind smile on his face and said, "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

Zhao Tian'er, who was sitting on the side, was extremely moved to see that they were in such a bad situation at the age of less than ten years old, so she pushed the uneaten copyist in the bowl and pushed them over. When the four saw that there was meat to eat, they didn't care about it, so they stretched out their hands and grabbed the hand in the bowl to eat.

Seeing that they had eaten almost the same amount, Li Wenxuan said with a calm face: "If you want to have big white steamed buns to eat every day, then take me to see your leader." ”

The little beggar who had received Zhao Tian'er's favor naturally would not forget the person who had given him charity yesterday, and promised to come down and said, "Okay, I'll take you there." Li Wenxuan and Zhao Tian'er, who had just gotten up, followed behind him and walked towards a relatively secluded place in the west of the city.

Before the group had entered a dilapidated house, they heard a hoarse male voice coming from inside: "You came back from eating so soon?" Looks like you've had a good day. ”

Zhao Tianer, who felt a little uneasy, instinctively hid behind Li Wenxuan's back. His hands were tightly grasping his left arm, and he followed him step by step.

Lying on the ground, in rags, with no clean place on his body, the beggar, who was in his early thirties, saw someone coming, and immediately sat up vigilantly, facing Li Wenxuan and Zhao Tian'er, "What do you want to do?"

Li Wenxuan didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "I want to negotiate a deal with you." ”

The big beggar who scratched his body grabbed a bed bug on his body, threw it into his mouth and ate it without even thinking about it, and said, "I'm just one who asks for food, and I'm qualified to negotiate business with Master Xiucai." ”

Zhao Tian'er, who noticed his action, immediately became disgusted, but Li Wenxuan was unmoved and said: "Actually, the matter is very simple. All you need to do is walk around the city, and by the way, tell me that the alchemy I have refined can cure all kinds of diseases. I'm not going to let you do this in vain. Each meal is two fine noodle steamed buns for one person, and three meals a day are all covered by me. As many people as you come, then I will control as many people. The time limit is tentatively set at 10 days. If you do a good job, we can extend the time later. What do you think? ”

The four little beggars standing next to him were already shouting excitedly, drooling and urging: "Boss, you don't have to think about it, let's hurry up and agree!" ”

The big beggar who scratched his back with his right hand first scolded the little beggar under him, and then thought for a while and said: "In addition to this condition you prescribed, you have to give me a chicken every day, two catties of good sorghum wine, and a hundred yuan." ”

After mental arithmetic, Li Wenxuan felt that according to the conditions offered by the person in front of him, the cost of his own investment was too high, and said: "Your conditions are too high, I'm afraid I can't agree." If you don't want to do it, then I'll go find some other beggar to do it. After saying this, he turned around, took one of Zhao Tianer's small hands, and pretended to leave.

The big beggar who stood up suddenly bargained: "Everything is easy to discuss." In addition to the steamed buns for three meals a day, you have to give me a chicken, a pound of good sorghum wine, fifty yuan, no less. ”

Li Wenxuan, who turned around, did not let go of Zhao Tianer's hand. He who did not repeatedly insist on only giving steamed buns could get a glimpse of the big beggar's thoughts, so he made some concessions, and said in an expressionless and aggravated tone: "I will give you an extra thirty yuan a day at most." If you want to do it, you can do it, and if you don't do it, you will pull it down. ”

The big beggar, who was afraid that he would be yellow, felt that he had already won more things and said, "Okay." ”

"We're talking about the ugly things up front. My family's big white steamed buns and silver money are not given for free. If you don't do it well, then don't blame me for not being trustworthy. Li Wenxuan didn't talk nonsense with him and said: "Tomorrow, you will take someone to shout hard for me, just hold the elixir I refined to the sky." ”

He motioned for the big beggar to come over, and then he said his name, and told him what he had planned in his heart. In order to be safe, Li Wenxuan watched them follow their own ideas and rehearse them five times before they were satisfied with the sweetness of throwing thirty copper coins to the big beggar, and then left with Zhao Tian'er.

Li Wenxuan, who walked out of the broken house, took a deep breath of fresh air, and said in a good mood: "Let's go, brother will take you to eat good food." ”

Zhao Tian'er, who hesitated for a moment, said her thoughts and said, "I can do whatever you want to eat." Shall we go home and eat? ”

Li Wenxuan, who scratched her nose, smiled and said, "Today, let's go to the restaurant." As soon as the words fell, he pulled Zhao Tian'er and walked in the direction of the street. Since she wants to eat well, Li Wenxuan naturally wants to bring her into the best restaurant in the city.

The two of them had just walked to the gate of the Invitation Moon Building when they met Qiuyue. Lin Ruoxi, who went in first, left the handkerchief on the carriage, and she went back to get it for her young lady.

Qiu Yue, who has a lively personality and is a talker, was the first to speak: "What a coincidence, we met again." ”

Li Wenxuan, who was holding Zhao Tian'er's little hand, saw that it was an acquaintance, so he inevitably wanted to say hello to them. Although he hated Lin Zhengbei and Wang Dake of the Lin family, he really hated Qiuyue and Lin Ruoxi in his heart. He decided that they were kind, non-autonomous women, and that they had been kept in the dark.

"It's a coincidence." Li Wenxuan said with a smile on his face.

"I'll have dinner with Miss." Qiu Yue, who was full of laughter, suddenly noticed that he was holding Zhao Tian'er's little hand, and her heart was not very comfortable, but she deliberately tried to say on her mouth: "You and your lady also came here to eat together?" ”

"Recently, my sister-in-law has worked too hard in housework, so I brought her here to have a good meal to reward her." Li Wenxuan didn't tell a lie.

Qiuyue, who was suddenly comfortable in her heart, smiled even brighter, and let out a "mmmmmmmm He had a brief conversation with Li Wenxuan, and then said goodbye and went to the carriage to find Lin Ruoxi's handkerchief.

At this time, Zhao Tian'er's small mouth had already pouted, and she could hang a small oil bottle and said, "Are you very familiar with that girl?" ”

"It's not cooked. It's only been a few mets. Li Wenxuan is truthful.

Zhao Tian'er, who "hummed" for a while, didn't believe his words, and said sourly in her heart: "You are still chatting so vigorously if you are not familiar?" ”

Li Wenxuan, who could feel that she was unhappy, gently pinched her little nose, and then deliberately sniffed it in front of her with his nose, and said with a light smile: "How can there be such a big smell of vinegar?" ”

"Dead nasty." Zhao Tian'er, who clenched her small fists with both hands, beat him three or five times, pretending to be angry and said, "Don't make fun of people." ”
