Chapter 46: There Is No Banquet in the World (1)
Thunder City.
The largest city on the southern border of Daqian.
Su Sheng and his party, who were on the road overnight, arrived in Lei City early in the morning.
Because they were traveling at night, they didn't encounter a demon alliance along the way, which was good news.
From the towering marble gate of Lei City, there are two stone unicorns more than two people high, majestic and heroic.
After dealing with the guards at the city gate at will, the three of them walked to a noodle restaurant with panda eyes.
Taste of the noodle restaurant.
The owner is a middle-aged couple, and the noodle restaurant is a well-known noodle restaurant.
"Three, let's eat a bowl of noodles, the most authentic hand-rolled noodles in Lei City." The shopkeeper greeted earnestly.
Su Sheng glanced up at the noodle shop sign and asked, "Why don't you try it at this shop?" ”
Xiao Luo, who was shy in his pocket, didn't answer, and Li Cheng nodded.
"Xiao Er, how do you sell this side." Li Cheng asked.
"Returning to the guest officer, one article on plain noodles, three articles on meat noodles." Xiao Er carried the teapot and respectfully poured tea and water for the three of them.
Su Sheng: "What's in the meat?" ”
"Pork, lamb are available." The proprietress who was settling accounts saw that the three of them were young men, smiling, and took the initiative to talk.
"Then it's meat, pork." Su Sheng said.
"Gotcha, three bowls of meat noodles, pork!" The shopkeeper shouted with a long tail note.
"Alas, wait a minute!" Su Sheng hurriedly called out to him, and scolded with a smile: "Who told you that you want three bowls, and we want twelve bowls." ”
When the proprietress heard this, she couldn't help but throw down the abacus in her hand, and scolded with a smile: "Little brother, each bowl of noodles in our house is half a catty, and it is famous for its good quality and low price. ”
The people who ate noodles together also talked about it when they heard this, and they all turned their eyes to Su Sheng's table.
Xiao Luo glanced at Li Cheng and Su Sheng, grabbed the corners of their clothes, and said in a low voice: "Brother Li, Brother Su, the three of us don't have much money on us now, just try it." ”
Su Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "The boss lady can do it." ”
In the end, Su Sheng couldn't resist it, the store first served five bowls, and before Li Cheng and Xiao Luo could mix the noodles, Su Sheng had already solved the other three bowls of noodles.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Su Sheng urged the shopkeeper to bring the remaining noodles quickly, and the proprietress rubbed her slightly numb face, and told the shopkeeper to go down and urge the rest of the noodles.
After ten bowls of noodles, Su Sheng finally regained some vitality and looked at Li Cheng and the two with a smile.
"Look at what, give the money as soon as you finish eating, aren't you still in a hurry to find the blacksmith to get a good weapon."
When Xiao Luo heard this, he silently took out five copper coins from the pocket of his sackcloth coat.
"That's all there is to me." He said with a sad face.
At this time, the proprietress walked to the three-person table with an unhappy face and put on a professional smirk.
"Three sons, twelve bowls of meat noodles, a total of thirty-six Wen, this doesn't seem to be enough."
Looking at the proprietress with a bad face, Li Cheng smiled, and also silently took out his pocket, and the copper coins were lined up and placed in front of Su Sheng.
"Brother Su." He looked at Su Sheng with blank eyes.
"This ......" Su Sheng was dazed and said with a smile: "You two don't play with me." ”
"This son." The proprietress looked at Su Sheng dissatisfied.
The latter pretended to dig into his pocket, but did not feel any movement for a long time.
Su Sheng cheekily asked, "Boss, is it on credit?" ”
Xiao Luoqi and Li Cheng hid their faces, and everyone had no money together.
"The face money of these three sons is mine." At this time, a boy with a white face and a brocade dress walked into the noodle shop with a folding fan and a smile.
"Good morning! Brother Sheng, Brother Li. Brother Gongzi smiled slightly, walked straight to the three of them, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the proprietress .
Xiao Luoqi continued to hide his face and sneaked a glance behind Brother Gongzi.
The eldest princess, who was dressed as a man, smiled: "Don't look at it, Steward Shen didn't follow Young Master Ben today." ”
Li Cheng couldn't help but get up and salute with his fists, but was stopped by the eldest princess.
"Childe, this is the money I am looking for you." The shopkeeper held a string of copper coins and handed it to the eldest princess, who put away the folding fan and pointed at Su Sheng.
"Give it to him, my son has nowhere to put it."
Seeing that Su Sheng frowned a little, Xiao Luoqi hurriedly stepped forward to take the copper coin: "I have a place to put it on my body." ”
The group left the noodle shop, silent along the way.
The eldest princess took the initiative to break the silence: "The three of you plan to forge swords and go to the front line?" ”
Li Cheng replied respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, we have this idea. ”
"Just call me Zhao Gongzi, I don't want to expose my identity in Lei City."
"Understood."
The eldest princess shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Lei City is rich in iron ore, and there are indeed many famous swordsmiths, but you don't have any money on you, I'm afraid no one is willing to forge a sword for you." ”
Su Sheng smiled: "Money is important, but it's not like there's no other way. ”
Li Cheng and Xiao Luoqi couldn't help but hold their foreheads, but they didn't expect the eldest princess to nod very approvingly.
"What Brother Sheng said is true, presumably your status in the Chen State is not low, but there are several high-ranking families in the Chen State, and there seems to be no one surnamed Sheng." The eldest princess looked at him with a smile.
"Presumably Sheng Gongzi has a pseudonym."
Li Cheng was taken aback at first, and was about to open up for Su Sheng, but he didn't expect Su Sheng to admit it directly.
"The eldest princess deserves to be the dragon and phoenix among people!"
The eldest princess of men's clothing smiled slightly: "Brother Sheng still calls me Zhao Gongzi." ”
"Zhao Gongzi pays so much attention to the three of us, presumably there must be something to discuss?" Su Sheng asked, with no expression on his face, casually playing with a copper coin he had just taken from Xiao Luoqi's hand.
"There is a saying in the rivers and lakes, meeting is fate, I see that the three of you are extraordinary, and they are definitely not things in the pool, so I am interested in getting acquainted and talking, is there anything wrong with this?" The eldest princess asked rhetorically.
"Naturally, there is no problem." Xiao Luoqi hurriedly interrupted the two and took the initiative to be peacemakers.
Subsequently, the group walked casually on the streets of Leicheng, chatting with each other.
Before I knew it, I was walking to a blacksmith's shop.
"Oh." The eldest princess was surprised: "It's really fate, I walked around and ran into a blacksmith shop." ”
"yes, it's fate." Su Sheng replied perfunctorily.
The eldest princess was not angry, she waved her fan, and said: "Since I have found a blacksmith shop with you, then this young master has also helped me to the end, and I will not accompany you in the future." ”
"Slow down and don't send it." Su Sheng opened his mouth and said.
Immediately, the eldest princess smiled and waved to the three of them, turned around and walked into last night's carriage, and slowly drove away under the unkind gaze of Steward Shen of the Furnace Realm.
"What's wrong? Inexplicable. Su Sheng saw the carriage walking away, and couldn't help but complain.
Xiao Luoqi patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, the bad guy invited us to eat noodles and helped us out." ”
"Are the royals and nobles so high?" Su Sheng couldn't help but continue to complain.
Li Cheng: "The eldest princess has already calculated, although she is a little incomprehensible. ”
