Chapter 301: A Bumpy Road
Today is the third day of the third month of March, and it is getting closer and closer to the qualifiers for the World Competition on the tenth day of March.
Uncle Zhang, who sells steamed buns at the north gate of Mincheng, has a prosperous business today, and many outsiders who come to the city to do business come in from the north city gate, and when they smell the aroma of this big meat bun, they will buy two to satisfy their hunger.
"Good fellow, this meat is the real thing!"
A well-dressed young master sat at the table in front of Uncle Zhang's stall and bit the steaming meat buns, and praised him vigorously.
"I said uncle, you bun, what a masterpiece!"
This young master is not an ordinary person at first glance, his eyebrows are clear and his eyes are cleanly dressed, although he is not as extraordinary as those children of big families, but he is definitely a child of the Shangjia family.
"Hey, if the young master likes it, come two more to bring to your friends, this big bun just out of the pot, it's fragrant!"
Although Uncle Zhang was sweating from this steamer, his face was still filled with a very happy smile.
Today, he sold a lot of steamed buns, and if he sold them like this for another three or two months, he would be able to take down the shop at the city gate and open a steamed bun shop!
You don't have to get up early every day and push the cart out of the stall in the dark, you feel like you have a head in your heart when you think about it!
"It smells so good!"
A grizzled girl staggered in from the north city gate, just in time for Uncle Zhang's drawer of buns to come out of the cage, the girl hurriedly ran over and asked:
"Boss, how do you sell the buns?"
"Ouch, this girl, how are you doing this, making such a mess!"
This girl is really embarrassed, her hair is very disheveled, and there are chicken feathers inserted in it, and her clothes are in tatters, and her face and body are full of mud spots.
Ordinary people can't make such a mess, but despite this girl's embarrassment, the huge blade behind her is surprisingly clean.
People are sloppy like this, and the heavy sword is so clean, I really don't know what kind of mentality this girl has.
"You, sit next to you first, I'll clean up here and serve you!"
As he spoke, Uncle Zhang took out a bench and handed it to the girl, and handed her a clean hand towel to wipe her face.
Looking at this appearance, it is estimated that I haven't washed my face for three or four days, this uncle is kind-hearted, and it is really a little unbearable to look at this girl's embarrassed appearance.
Uncle Zhang also has a girl at home who is not much older than her, but she is afraid of melting in the palm of her hand, and she is afraid of falling when she leaves the palm of her hand.
Although the conditions in my own family are average, I love my own girl.
If this girl's father and mother knew that he was so guilty outside, she might have been so distressed!
"Boss, thank you!"
The girl carried a small stool, sat next to the bun stall, and wiped her face with a hand towel.
"This Uncle Zhang is really a bodhisattva, and he is so kind to this little Hanako. β
The official family who followed the young master was a little moved, and the young master also felt very moved, and put a silver ingot in front of the bun stall on the spot.
"Uncle Zhang, I invited this girl's meal, you can let him eat enough. β
"You don't have to look for money, you must have helped a lot of people, and I will do my best. β
This young master is also a bright person, and he wanted to leave the silver in front of the stall, but he was actually caught by this girl.
"Come on, this little brother, I have money, I don't need you to ask for it, hehe. β
The girl smiled, which made the young master directly startled.
The grizzled appearance just now, this young master didn't recognize it, and I feel that this girl is still a character!
After she wiped her face clean, the young master recognized her at a glance.
"Oh my God!
"Xue Yan, the heavy sword of the top ten youth rankings of the Cloud Empire!"
"Grandma, how did you do this!"
Obviously, this young master knew Xue Yan. But Xue Yan didn't know this young master.
"You don't know me? I'm Yin Sheng! Qiongzhou Mansion, that fifth old man of the Yin family, Yin Sheng!"
"When you were drinking in the Tianlou in Qiongzhou Mansion, I also saluted you!"
Feelings, this young master is indeed not an ordinary person, the fifth elder of the Yin family of the second family of Qiongzhou Mansion in South Vietnam, it is no wonder that he can recognize Xue Yan.
Xue Yan is a genius who traveled down the mountain relatively early among the three generations of disciples of Mo Guiya, although he is said to be from a civilian background, he can be regarded as a half-downtrodden nobleman.
At the beginning, Xue Yan's grandfather was the Taishou of Qiongzhou Mansion, but as soon as his grandfather died, his family fell into the middle of the road, and his father was sick, so he became a common man.
However, in Xue Yan's generation, his family was left with her and her mother, and Xue's mother pulled Xue Yan up with hard work and sent her to Moguiya.
And by himself, he did some embroidery manual work in a small workshop under the Mogui Cliff.
Reluctantly allowed Xue Yan to learn some skills in Moguiya, this Xue Yan was also very competitive, and became the chief senior sister in Moguiya in three years!
Xue Yan, this girl is a nervous person, although her strength is very outstanding, but her brain is not very bright.
It can't be said that it is not bright, it can only be said that it gives people a slightly naΓ―ve feeling, it may be that this girl was hit on the head by a sword when she practiced heavy sword, so it gives people a feeling of being stupid.
As a senior sister, in addition to her strong martial arts, she is not clear about her life and feelings.
"Oh? Which skinny little guy are you?"
Xue Yan seemed to recognize Yin Sheng and patted him on the shoulder, this girl's strength is really a little big, and she almost broke up this Yin Sheng after three pats.
"I remember you, the one who drank with me and secretly poured out the wine that I couldn't drink, wasn't you?"
This Xue Yan's voice was so loud that Yin Sheng's face suddenly couldn't hold up.
Although I know that this Xue Yan Xue's eldest sister has no door at all, but it is really rare in the world to understand human feelings like this.
"Oops...... It's me, it's me, you're too loud......"
"Then you came to Yunjing to participate in the World Competition?"
Xue Yan asked, Yin Sheng hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand.
"I don't have that ability, I'm here to negotiate business with the Chen family in Yunjing on behalf of the family. β
"Recently, the family ghost merchant has made a batch of good things in the ghost world, I don't know if the Chen family is interested. β
"I'll just say, you can't compete in the competition with your skinny monkey-like body!"
Xue Yan smiled heartily, and then her stomach began to growl.
"This ...... No, I need to eat something first. β
"Boss, bring me three drawers of buns first!"
Xue Yan directly took out a small piece of gold bar and slapped it in front of Uncle Zhang's stall, Uncle Zhang looked at the gold bar, his eyes were straight.
"Ouch, ancestor, you are tormenting me!"
"Even if you buy all my stalls, you won't need this gold bar!"
Xue Yan thought about it, it seemed like this was the case.
"Then, uncle, you can sell the stall to me directly, you can keep the gold bars, and you can eat as much as I want!"
How could this girl say such strange things......
Is this really what a girl can say?
"That's not going to work! You eat these two drawers first, and I'll steam some more for you?"
Uncle Zhang was very sincere, and directly returned Xue Yan's gold bars, and then directly took out two drawers of buns.
There are eight buns in this drawer and sixteen in two drawers.
Is it possible that Xue Yan can really eat three drawers of twenty-four buns for this meal? Uncle Zhang doesn't believe it.
This Xue Nuxia looks thin and thin, and she doesn't have a lot of food, although she is carrying a heavy sword, her arms and legs are a little thin.
Moreover, this girl's brain really doesn't seem to be very good, it is estimated that she is hungry and talking nonsense, and she should not be able to eat a few buns.
After all, his Uncle Zhang's buns are pure meat buns, which is very important!
Pure meat buns with your own pickled pickles, and a bowl of hot millet porridge, that's really comfortable!
Xue Yan Xue Nuxia walked directly to the table with two drawers of buns and smiled, this Yin Sheng can't leave Xue Nuxia here, so he can only accompany him.
Then, Yin Sheng witnessed an event that upended his outlook on life.
This Xue Nuxia took two bites of a bun, and after eating a basket of steamed buns directly at a very fast speed, she picked up the millet porridge brought by Uncle Zhang and dried it directly.
This is porridge, Xue Nuxia, that's not wine!
Wine can be discharged by sweating, is it possible that millet porridge can be discharged by sweating?
"Xue Nuxia...... Don't choke!"
"I can't choke on!"
This Xue Nuxia is simply a hungry wolf predator, and these two drawers of buns are cleaned up in less than half a pillar of incense.
After eating the steamed buns, Xue Nuxia, who drank a big bowl of millet porridge, still felt that she was not full, so she took a drawer of steamed buns from Uncle Zhang's stall.
"How many days have you not eaten!"
Yin Sheng was really a little curious, how many days had this person not eaten.
"You don't know! I haven't eaten in three days!"
This Xue Nuxia gobbled up while talking to Yin Sheng about her experiences these days.
That's called a twist......
Originally, starting from the Mogui Cliff in South Vietnam, you could walk directly to the south of Zhongzhou by walking along the official road on the lake, but this Xue Nuxia, she is a real road idiot!
In order to come to Zhongzhou as soon as possible, she went out seven or eight days earlier than those brothers and sisters, but as soon as she got out of the mountain gate, she walked on the official road to the Western Desert.
This fierce son went directly to the Liangzhou Mansion in the Western Desert, if it weren't for a caravan from the Liangzhou Mansion that was going to Yunjing, it is estimated that this aunt and grandmother would not be able to go to Zhongzhou in her life.
As a result, after the caravan arrived in Liangchuan County, it was just time to stop and rectify a little and arrange supplies, so he didn't expect it, so he pointed out the way to this Xue woman.
Then, Xue Nuxia magically walked along this road to Beigan......
"When did you make a big turn?"
This is three wrong intersections from Liangchuan County to Beigan! This aunt's point is too right.
When he realized that he was getting farther and farther away from Yunjing, Xue Yan finally got witty.
He intercepted the caravan bound for Yunjing on the side of the road, hoping that the caravan would give her a ride.
As a result, the woman's behavior of carrying a heavy sword and blocking the caravan on the official road was directly arrested by a group of Zhongzhou Mu's disciples.
After tinkering for a long time, it was this group of soldiers who sent the woman to the gate of Mincheng, and then they arrived in Yunjing.
"You're on this ...... It's a long way to go. β
"No, boss! Three more plates of pickles! I'm a little tired of eating!"
Three drawers of steamed buns, Xue Yan finally felt a little full, and when she asked for three plates of pickles, Uncle Zhang was completely blindsided.
However, after the girl finished eating, she still hid the gold bar under the cage drawer, and followed Yin Sheng directly into the official city of Yunjing.
"Xue Nuxia, who are you looking for in Yunjing?"
"Oh, by the way, the master asked me to come to the Ministry of War, Fang Zhen Shangshu. β
After speaking, Xue Yan handed a letter of recommendation to Yin Sheng, who glanced at the letter of recommendation, thought for a while and said.
"In this way, I have to go to the Chen family to meet the head of the Chen family in a while, if I can meet Chen Hao's Shangshu, I can ask him to take you to see Fang Shangshu. β
"If you don't dislike it, you can go to Chen's house with you. β
Xue Yan thought for a moment and said:
"Okay, then I'll go with you first. β
"I didn't think you were very good at drinking, but you were quite thoughtful about the problem!"
Xue Yan slapped Yin Sheng on the back with two slaps, and these two slaps almost slapped his soul out.
Yin Sheng suddenly felt that it was not a good thing for him to recognize this aunt!
