Chapter 5 Encounters with Teenagers
Liu felt that Zhao Jin had never been to the town and planned to take her for a good visit. The two chatted while walking, and from the conversation with Liu, Zhao Jin learned that because the war had just ended a few years ago, they were all recuperating after the war, and the prices in the town were still generally low.
When he arrived at a stall selling wontons, Zhao Jin was so fascinated by the fragrance that he couldn't walk, and Liu felt uncomfortable when he saw Siya's appearance, thinking, "The silver she just got in exchange for selling embroidery is going to be handed over to her milk, and she sees the silver as if it is fate, in case something happens, it should be a joke for the people in the village." ”
In the final analysis, Liu is still worried that after all, he has always been unable to raise his head in front of Xia, and he was crushed to death, if he really touched the silver, Xia would find her desperately, but her daughter finally came back, and ruthlessly asked for two bowls of wontons and three pennies. Waiting for the stall owner Uncle to send it up, Zhao Jin closed his eyes and sniffed it, thinking that there was such a delicious thing in the world, the two of them ate wolf-spitting and eating it for too long and were too hungry, the old man was still very kind, and the material was very sufficient, and slowly a big bowl of food for the two of them was very supportive. After eating, the two took a break, and Zhao Jin saw a restaurant in front of him, called Eight Immortals Restaurant, which should be the most luxurious restaurant in the town. Zhao Jin turned to the Liu family and said, "Mother, isn't the Eight Immortals Restaurant in front of you very big?" Liu said: "Yes, all the rich people in the neighborhood like to hold any banquet inside, it is not too expensive for countrymen like us to go, and one meal can eat all the expenses of the year." "Zhao Jin usually reads basic travel novels, and thinks that it is quite easy to make money by relying on the novelty of food. Those heroines all relied on their good cooking skills to mix like fish in water in ancient times. I didn't have any hobbies before, I just liked to eat, and when I didn't have a task, I just went to different cities in different countries to eat and drink.
Zhao Jin took Liu's hand and walked outside the restaurant, and Liu kept chattering: "Siya, this is not where we came, let's go shopping elsewhere, my mother will take you to the grocery store to see what you can buy." Zhao Jin replied to her mother casually: "Mother, you can go to the grocery store later, let's go here first." Before the words fell, Zhao Jin and the two were already in the lobby of the restaurant, and the junior who ran the hall saw it, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Two guest officers, what do you need?" Zhao Jin glanced at Xiao Er's expression and sighed, it is worthy of being the best restaurant in the town and will not look down on the poor, and the service should be good. Zhao Jin said: "Little second brother, we are from the countryside, I want to ask if your restaurant accepts some game or mushrooms?" Xiao Er saw the little girl in front of him in a half-old pink dress, and her palm-sized face was malnourished at a glance, but she was better than her fair skin, and her eyebrows were still very attractive, so she replied: "It depends on the situation, if it is usually a lot of people, the store is not enough to collect it, but our shopkeeper is generally easier to talk, and will still collect it when the quality of the goods is better, if you have it, go to the back of the kitchen, where someone specializes in collecting all kinds of fresh wild things and fungi." Zhao Jin replied: "Yes, I remember, thank you, little second brother!" Out of the restaurant, Zhao Jin continued to sigh to her mother, no wonder this restaurant can stand tall in the town, even the quality of Xiao Er is so high, it can be seen how high the management level of the people above is.
The two walked out along the street, planning to go out of the city and go back, but it was almost noon, and if they didn't go back, the Xia family would lose their temper again. At this time, a panicked teenager ran by their side, the young man was disgraced, Liu walked in and quickly pulled Zhao Jin inside for fear of being knocked down. There was a middle-aged man in a long shirt in his forties behind him who chased after him with a few subordinates and couldn't stop his footsteps and hit Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin jumped to the side quickly, and before landing, he tripped the middle-aged man and fell to the ground, and several subordinates hurriedly helped the middle-aged man up. The middle-aged man was angry and said, "Don't chase it quickly, let that fool run away." The boy seemed to be so frightened by this turn of events that he forgot to run and stand still, and in a few moments the men caught the boy. The young man was startled and saw Zhao Jin nearby, and suddenly as if he saw a relative, he hugged her and cried, while crying, he pointed to the forty-year-old middle-aged uncle and said, "Mother, he is a bad person!" He lied to me that he could come to you, so I followed him, but he didn't give me food and beat me, and I didn't want to, so he kept beating me, and I ran out while they weren't looking......"
When Zhao Jin heard this, he was dumbfounded, my good man, you obviously look older than me, how can I give birth to a son like you, Liu was also anxious when he heard it, Siya has not married yet, so how can he ruin the reputation of the girl's family, and push the kid away, but whether the man is stupid or not, he still has the strength, and he can't break free for a while. The people around them also laughed, and many people around them said, "This kid looks like he has a bit of a problem with his brain, stupid." At this time, the scene should have been extremely serious, the young man hugged Zhao Jin and cried, crying pear blossoms with rain like a bullied little daughter-in-law super emotional, and then looked at Zhao Jin's mother and daughter who were at a loss, the scene was out of control for a while. Zhao Jin didn't have time to pay attention to passers-by, her attention fell on the young man hanging on her, and when she heard it, she probably understood that this person was different from normal people. was hugged tightly by him, and he couldn't push it away, so he had to comfort him in a low voice, while wiping his tears for him, otherwise it would all fall on her.
"..... he's going to sell me....mother, I'm so scared..... it's good that you're here......." The boy was still crying sadly, and hugged her tighter. She patted him on the back, and her clear black and white eyes swept towards the middle-aged uncle, with doubts and doubts in her eyes. "He is a nephew of my family, he has been delirious and intellectually incomplete since he was a child, I am going to take him back to his hometown in Shanxi, and I am afraid that he will get lost along the way, so I watch it closely." The uncle explained that cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead, for fear that this stupid young man would say something that would make him misunderstood, although what he said was made up by himself, but he also received money to do things, and it would be bad if he was found out if he made a fuss on the street. He wanted to coax the young man, but as soon as he saw him, he kept shrinking behind people's backs like a mouse and a cat, and his teeth itched with anger. "Well, if it's really like you said, why did he run away as soon as he saw you, and a group of you people are dressed like dogs, clean and neat, he is dressed in rags and the material looks good, and it is not at the same level as you, do you see that other people's brains are not good, and you kidnapped people's rich young masters."
Zhao Jin stared at him, his eyes turned cold, and his voice had a hint of coldness, so that he didn't look easy to mess with, and the people around him also followed when they heard it: "That's it, hurry up and make it clear, otherwise we will report to the official!" ”
The middle-aged uncle opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't speak. So he made a look and ordered a few of his subordinates to take people away by forceful means.
