This steamed bun shop on Wandering Soul Street is extremely rare in the local area, with zero negative reviews at all. Some people even spontaneously become its promoters after eating, and every time a new member enters the Wandering Soul Street, he will always be introduced to the shop by enthusiastic people, so that he can experience the customs of the street up close.

The buns here are white, big, and smell fragrant, and can hook up the worms in the stomach from a few meters away. The chubby boss has an excellent attitude and is always smiling and welcoming. When he laughed, his eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and the two fat clumps on his cheeks shook up and down with the hearty laughter, and he looked like a walking Maitreya Buddha.

"Oh, two girls here, please, hurry here, please."

As soon as the shopkeeper came to the door, the shopkeeper immediately smiled, opened the door for them, pulled chairs, and sorted the steamed buns on a small cart and pushed them to their tables for them to choose. As soon as Shen Lingshuang stretched out his hand, he suddenly remembered the dog who was drowsy after eating the baked cake just now, and he chuckled in his heart, thinking about how to try to test it without hurting his anger. Qiu Banxia, who was next to her, picked up a bun and sniffed it, raised her head and looked at the shopkeeper unabashedly.

"Boss, you don't have anything in these buns, do you?"

"What an interesting thing you girl said." The boss grinned, "If there is nothing in the bun, it should be called a steamed bun." ”

"That makes sense." Qiu Banxia also smiled, "Then boss, we want steamed buns." ”

The boss's eyes widened: "Why don't you think about it again?" This is a barbecued pork bun in your hand, I smell it and I'm hungry, do you want to take a bite before making a decision? ”

Qiu Banxia shook her head: "I don't like the taste. ”

"Don't like this, there's something else!"

The boss hurriedly opened the lids of several other small steaming drawers: "There are freshly baked barbecued pork buns, as well as lotus paste buns, pork buns, jade potato buns, bean paste buns, everything you need......"

He introduced the past one by one, as if he was singing, but Qiu Banxia interrupted mercilessly: "Boss, we want a few steamed buns, hurry up." ”

"Okay then."

Despite the rejection of the hard selling, the boss was still smiling, he turned the head of the cart, pushed the trolley back to the counter, and then picked up the plate and tongs and went to the steamer to get the steamed buns. Taking advantage of the moment when he walked away, Shen Lingshuang hurried to the side of Qiu Banxia and whispered, "So there is really something wrong with those buns?" ”

"You really think I'm a dog's nose." Qiu Banxia whispered, "You can smell it just by smelling it, but I guess the buns should be clean." ”

"But you just ......"

"Since this steamed bun shop is located in Wandering Soul Street, how can it be an ordinary small shop." Qiu Banxia glanced at her, "Mention going to the food to drug that is a means of indiscriminate, if you are caught, you won't even have a place to argue." Veterans, even if they are drugged, will choose to do it at the last minute when the food is served, so as to fool those who are a little alert. ”

She lowered her voice, "And, did you notice what his right hand was doing when he just spoke?" ”

He held the cart with his left hand, and of course with his right hand...... Wait a minute. Shen Lingshuang thought about it for a moment, "His right hand doesn't seem to be holding the handlebar, but is resting on the back of his left hand." Why is that? ”

"Because he had something hidden in the sleeve of his left hand, mostly a dagger." Qiu Banxia said, "I looked down to take the bun just now, and I noticed a cold light flashing in his sleeve. Although I didn't show anything, he immediately changed his posture in the next second, holding his hand on the cuff to prevent the contents from being exposed, which also blocked my gaze. Maybe he wasn't sure if I saw anything, but this alert reaction was enough to show that what was hidden in his sleeve was his real killer move, and that the bun was at best a cover-up. ”

"Maybe just when I was concentrating on checking if there was anything wrong with the bun, his dagger had already stabbed in front of me......" Shen Lingshuang nodded admiringly, "I see, so when you questioned him just now, Sister Qiu, the bun you were holding in your hand continued to adjust with your subtle movements, and every time it sealed the angle of his shot." Although he didn't really make a move, he also knew that such a blocking angle was not a coincidence, and knew that you knew his intentions, so he gave up obediently. ”

Qiu Banxia said arrogantly: "Whether you really give up depends on his next performance." ”

After that, the boss seemed to really put away his ill intentions, and when he came over again, he only brought sweet and delicious steamed buns and hot soy milk, but the contents of the sleeve were gone. These two foods were carefully inspected in Autumn and Summer, and Shen Lingshuang's real person test confirmed that there was no problem. It seems that this guy is quite acquainted, and he didn't use his brain again when he saw that the situation was not good.

"Okay, now that you've eaten enough and your wish has been satisfied, the next step is to fight on your own."

Qiu Banxia stood up and patted Shen Lingshuang on the shoulder: "I'll go and walk around." Do your best and try not to die here. This meal is even if I invite you. ”

She habitually wanted to pick up the handbag next to the chair, but when she reached out and grabbed it, she unexpectedly grabbed it. When I looked closely, the bag was really gone.

Qiu Banxia's first reaction was to sit down again as usual, and then he rolled his eyes with minimal movements, observing the situation around him. Except for them, none of the guests at the surrounding tables showed any particular attention to this side, and one or two were attracted by the action of Qiu Banxia standing up and sitting down, but they only turned their heads to glance at it, and did not pay much attention.

However, most of these people are hiding thieves who stole her handbag.

As the host, staying alert in the Longtan Tiger's Den is the foundation of the foundation, and Qiu Banxia is confident that there is no slack in the whole process. Although the handbag is not placed close to him, it is only about ten centimeters away from him, and there is no doubt that it is within the range of warning. Except for the two times the fat boss came over with the bun, she didn't let anyone close enough to reach the bag.

So, is the thief the boss?

This thought had just flashed through Qiu Banxia, and in an instant, he denied it again. For this person, her vigilance is far more than ordinary, not to mention stealing something, even if the action of holding the bun is slightly deformed, she can detect it, if it is really this boss who stole it, then his shot is more than ten times faster than the fastest person he has ever seen in Qiu Banxia, there can be no such creature in this world.

"What's wrong?" Shen Lingshuang finally noticed Master's abnormality. The slightly strange expression on Qiu Banxia's face seemed to her as if the other party had finally moved his compassion, which made her heart swell with hope again.

"Have you changed your mind?" She said beautifully, "Don't say anything, let's go back, okay." I'll invite you for this meal, even if I honor your old man's ...... Ay? ”

She reached out to the place where the handbag was placed, and wanted to take out her wallet, but her face suddenly changed when she touched it. Qiu Banxia felt bad, but before she could stop it, Shen Lingshuang's octave exclamation sounded in the store.

"Oh my God, the wallet is gone!"

When the fat store manager heard this, he immediately rushed to their table and stood with a smile: "Two girls, please settle the bill first." ”

This apprentice is unreliable when he helps, but he is first-class in finding trouble for himself. Qiu Banxia held his forehead and sighed helplessly, the corner of his eye inadvertently swept from the floor, and suddenly his heart moved. This time, the store manager didn't push the cart over, so Qiu Banxia could see the other party's feet when she raised her eyes slightly, if it was before, the view of that piece would be completely blocked by the small cart, and because she was focused on the store manager, she wouldn't pay special attention there.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Banxia suddenly saw through the truth of the matter. It wasn't the store manager who stole the wallets of the two of them, nor anyone she saw around them, but a guy who was very thin enough to hide in the mezzanine of the cart, which was most likely a dwarf. He colluded with the store manager in advance, and the store manager would attract Qiu Banxia's attention from above, and he would sneak out from below and steal the handbag without touching anything.

It is not difficult to explain why the store manager's first reaction after learning about it was not to help, but to come over immediately to collect the bill. But since he knows that the other party has no money, it means that money is not what he wants most, and the real purpose of this person is after this.

He even made no secret of this.

"That's interesting." Qiu Banxia smiled, "It seems that it is not only the flies on the street who have been eyeing us from the beginning, and I am indeed too lax to let this simple trick be calculated." ”

"Two girls, can you settle the bill first?" The store manager said again with a smile on his face. Behind him, several people who had looked like ordinary diners stood up, reaching into their arms as if they were about to take out their weapons, apparently thugs who had been ambushed in the restaurant in advance.

Shen Lingshuang's face was like frost, and he silently relaxed his shoulders, ready to shoot at any time. The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense, but the store manager just looked at Qiu Banxia with a smile, as if what was happening behind him had nothing to do with him at all, and he didn't even notice it, after all, he was waiting intently to listen to Qiu Banxia's answer.

"If you want money, it looks like someone stole it." Qiu Banxia said in a coquettish tone, "Boss, is it okay for me to come next time?" ”

"So, the girl is planning to pay on credit?"

The fat store manager still had a harmless smile on his face, and shook his head gently: "Unfortunately, although there are many intimate services in this store, only the matter of 'credit' is not in it - of course, 'overlord meal' is not allowed." ”

"We don't have any money, and the boss refuses to take credit, it seems that this problem is so difficult to solve." Qiu Banxia spread out his hands, "I can't think of a good way, boss, do you have any suggestions?" ”

The fat boss's eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was a little surprised by this reaction. He went around in such a circle just to find an opportunity to put forward his "suggestion", but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to bump into him, which was just in the middle of it.

"Well, I don't want to embarrass the two of you, after all, it's a trivial matter." He said, "All the two girls lack is money to settle bills, but money is the easiest thing in the world to get." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Bet with me." The boss said, "If you win, the money for this meal will be written off, and I will give you an extra piece of wrapping, which is enough to bring the girl home." If we lose, we'll discuss what to do with it. ”

Shen Lingshuang let out a sneer. Proposing gambling in front of the "host" is simply self-defeating, and this person seems to have no idea where they come from. She was thinking about taking over this game, just in time to make a good start to the "five victories" stipulated in Qiu Banxia. But before she could speak, Qiu Banxia had already raised her hand to stop her, and threw down a sentence lightly.

"Enough entanglement for us to go home? How do you know where we're going back? She looked at the store manager and said quietly.

Shen Lingshuang's heart trembled, and she suddenly woke up, turning her head to see that Qiu Banxia's mouth couldn't help but escape an excited smile. There was no doubt that the other party knew where they came from, but perhaps because of this, he went to great lengths to arrange for thieves to steal their money and create a gambling victory with them.

But do you really want to invite a host to "gamble"?

Looking at the honest smiling face of the store manager, Qiu Banxia felt that there was no name in his heart, but there was a trace of inexplicable expectation.

"I feel underestimated." She sneered.
