Chapter Thirty-Seven: Snack Goods
Suzhou is a big city in the Central Plains, not only the terrain is important, but also the scenery is beautiful, the so-called "there is heaven, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below", praise is this paradise on earth!
The fox demon once brought Su Mei to Suzhou City, and that time she had just come out of the mountain, and she had been practicing in a deserted place before. (Li Xiaoyao: Lying down was also shot...... )
Therefore, the lively and prosperous city of Suzhou suddenly shocked the fox demon, and it was that trip that made the fox demon begin to kidnap the girl on all sides for pleasure, laying the root of the future bane.
At this time, Su Mei's little head naturally didn't think about it so much, she was looking east and west, and was dazzled by all kinds of novelties sold by the shops on both sides of the road!
"Uncle...... Give me a string...... This one...... It's called rock sugar gourd! Whining...... It's delicious! ”
Gao Xu walked next to Su Mei, looking at her hands full of the delicacies she bought along the road, her small mouth kept moving, and she also ran to the place where the rock sugar gourd was sold and shouted inarticulately, a typical look of eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, greedy and insufficient, and couldn't help but shake his head funny, this kid is really hungry!
"Big brother, go slowly, it's causing people to miss several stalls...... By the way, can you give me some more round things, I've used up that bit just now, hehe! Su Mei wiped out the newly arrived rock sugar gourd, wiped her mouth, and just wanted to rush to Xiangxia, but found that the money Gao Xu gave her was gone, and smiled flatteringly.
"No, you use it so fast, those are half a month's expenses for ordinary people!" Gao Xu looked at Su Mei dumbfounded, and then his eyes shifted to her flat lower abdomen, people can't look good, are so many things sent into the bottomless pit, it's terrible!
"It's a rare opportunity, big brother, don't be so stingy! Isn't it good? Su Mei also seemed a little embarrassed, hung her head, touched her two white and slender little fingers, and muttered, "Hurry up, the glutinous rice cakes sold by that old man are so fragrant, they must be delicious, and if you don't go, they will be sold out!" ”
"Okay, okay, take it!" Gao Xu saw that Su Mei had already leaned up and grabbed his sleeve, and the next step must be to start shaking, touched his forehead, and helplessly handed over a money bag.
Speaking of which, his money didn't fall from the sky, but was contributed by the thieves in the Ghost Yin Mountain.
Those thieves who occupy the mountain as the king have nothing else, but there is a lot of money, and the treasure chests dropped by Tai Zhuonan and his group of Miao people are all points, and the thieves are Wenqian.
These coins are the trading currency of the Legend of Sword and Fairy Shijie, which can be spent in the weapon shop, prop shop, jewelry store and other places in the plot Shijie, but the purchased items can only be used in this Shijie and cannot be taken out.
The amount of money is not much, and Gao Xu has only been stranded for a few hours, so he spent them all on Su Mei, so that this little fox who was separated from his parents for the first time was satisfied, which was also a good choice.
It's just that this little fox has too much appetite, and she spent hundreds of dollars in just one hour, you must know that all she picked are small stalls on the side of the road, if it is replaced by a large-scale restaurant, I am afraid it will be used up long ago.
Fortunately, these costs are not without returns, and loyalty is constantly rising with the ups and downs of Su Mei's little belly.
When Su Mei touched her little belly and exclaimed, Gao Xu also returned to her previous state of being poor, and her loyalty was fixed at 34 points. Although there is still a long way to go from 50 points, and the next 16 points will be more difficult to improve, it still looks much more comfortable than the previous 0 points.
Just when Su Mei fulfilled her wish and was about to go to the Baiyi Troupe mentioned by pedestrians to see the juggling, the two passed by a restaurant, and suddenly there was a noisy noise inside.
Gao Xu stopped, only to see a huge plaque hanging on the tall door of this restaurant, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with the four big characters of "Linxiang Restaurant", and the momentum was surging.
"It's so beautiful inside, it's delicious!" Su Mei's little head probed and found that the interior decoration was also extremely luxurious, with green tiles flying and every brick and tile with ingenuity, so she drooled and looked forward to it.
"You haven't eaten yet?" Gao Xu's face darkened, but then he was attracted by the faint noise coming from inside, listened for a moment, met Su Mei's expectant eyes, and said with a smile, "Maybe we really have a way to eat inside, come with me!" ”…,
"Two guest officers, welcome, please come with me!" While the two were talking, the shopkeeper had already greeted him, Hou was on the side, and seeing Gao Xu's intention at this moment, he took him and Su Mei, who was still looking left and right, towards the building.
Entering the restaurant, the original faint scolding and crying gradually became clear, the shopkeeper's face froze, and he just wanted to say something to distract Gao Xu's attention, when he saw a short and thin figure suddenly break out from behind the curtain next to the cabinet, and went straight to the door of the restaurant, and then was followed by a big man and kicked him to the ground.
"You kid ran so fast that he came out to disturb the guests, it seems that you can't be spared today!" The man raised his eyebrows angrily, his face was full of anger, and he fiercely kicked the ragged and embarrassed child on the ground a few times, and scolded in a low voice.
When he dragged the child's collar and was about to go out to teach another lesson, a short figure stopped in front of him, but Su Meilu saw the injustice, glared at the man, and shouted, "Why are you beating people?" Murderous! ”
The big man saw that Su Mei was also a child, so he didn't want to get angry, and explained to Gao Xu, who came forward: "Guest officer, you don't know the situation, this kid has often come here to beg for food recently, our shopkeeper pays attention to harmony and makes money, and has given this kid food and drink for nothing many times, he really bullied us in Linxiang Restaurant, and he dared to steal it today!" If you don't teach him a lesson, won't it be endless! ”
The general emphasis on opening a restaurant is to be kind and make money, and it is true that it is not so good to treat a child, this big man said it confidently, and there is no ambiguity at all, and it seems to be the truth.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so hungry, I can't help it......" The child lay on the ground and kowtowed to the big man again and again.
Gao Xu showed sympathy on his face and sighed: "The child is young and ignorant, you don't have to be like this, so let's talk about how much he ate in your store?" ”
Su Mei stepped forward to help the child and wiped the dirt on his face for him, without the slightest disgust.
Seeing Gao Xu's dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing, the big man thought that it was the kindness of the nobleman and wanted to pay the bill for this child, so he was also very happy, so he said happily: "The guest officer is merciful and compassionate, this child is blessed, a total of 5,000 yuan, five taels of silver!" ”
"Five taels?!" Gao Xu's eyes froze, and his words did not contain any emotion, "You have to think about it clearly, I am not wronged, and the lion should keep his eyes open when he opens his mouth!" ”
Su Mei on the side also raised her head and stared at the big man angrily, she had just eaten so many delicious things with a lot of money, but it cost a few hundred dollars, less than one or two silver, which is already a month's expenses for a few people in an ordinary family! But how much can this child eat, no matter how expensive the things in the restaurant are!
"The guest officer is wronged! Five taels of silver is only a small amount, and I have absolutely no intention of deceiving! Dahan's face was bitter, he waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly explained, "It's not that my lion opens his mouth, but this little ghost's appetite is really amazing, his stomach is like a bottomless pit, if he doesn't find it in time, I'm afraid the kitchen will be swept away by him!" ”
"Sure enough!" Gao Xu waited for the words of the big man, and when he heard this, his face showed a deep groan, and he said slowly, "It seems that there is something strange about this child, it is not as simple as it seems, and you are also unlucky...... It's a pity, it's a good haode restaurant......"
Zuihou's words were inaudible, but they happened to be in the ears of the shopkeeper who was waiting on the side.
The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed.
