Chapter 30 The most fragrant is a bowl of beef noodles
Xiao Xuan's mood has not been very good these days, because he has used all the answers to the secret script that he can find in his memory in his previous life, and he still hasn't seen half a word from that old book.
Then he closed the book and put it back in the cage, because he felt that if he continued to stare at a wordless book like an idiot all night, then he would not be an idiot, but would indeed become an idiot.
Xiao Xuan is used to clinging to what he decides to do, that doesn't mean that he is an idiot who likes to go all the way to the black. After this failed attempt, he was not disappointed and chose to divert his attention.
Rome wasn't built in a day, but all roads lead to Rome.
What's more, after calculating the time, in four days, there should be news from Yu Shi Niang's side.
Therefore, he was in a very relaxed mood tonight, so he did not continue to stay in the inn after nightfall to chop wood. Many times, there is not much difference between chopping wood and chopping people, the key is to use a knife to chop this thing, if you don't often let your body get used to it repeatedly, the days will be a little rusty.
Then he saw the little girl in her oversized leather jacket.
Hearing the other party say that there was no money, he paused for a moment, and then laughed. Although he didn't know where this little girl with a red fluttering face came from, she probably didn't know that this was the cheapest inn in Quanxuanyang.
Ten taels of silver, enough to live for a month.
Thinking of this, he put down the firewood knife, rubbed the ash on his hand very casually on his clothes, and said easily: "Come with me, I'll take you to the guest room upstairs, well, you don't have to give me the money, the boss is not here tonight, this night will not be counted as your accommodation fee." ”
A certain young man surnamed Xiao had no consciousness of being a helper at the Fenglai Inn at all, and pushed out the one-night accommodation fee in vain to make himself look very generous. In fact he was very poor, even poorer than this little girl, who had only ten taels of silver, for he did not have even ten taels of silver.
It's just that when he saw the little girl's dress for the first time, he knew that she came from a far away place in the north, maybe she came to Xuanyang to join some relative? In short, in the face of such a very cute and somewhat pitiful country girl, Xiao Xuan was still willing to take care of the other party.
Anyway, all the income of the inn does not belong to him.
Mu Xiaoyu smiled, and said in his heart that there are still good people in Xuanyang City, and the Xia people don't all seem to be bad people, and there are actually people who don't want to put white flowers and silver.
Just as I was thinking like this, I heard a strange gurgling sound from somewhere.
Xiao Xuan, who was about to walk past the little girl, turned around in surprise, and then understood something in an instant, even if he never liked to laugh, he couldn't help laughing.
Mu Xiaoyu felt that her face was hot, she guessed that her face must be red now, and she lowered her head to look at her toes in anger and annoyance.
Xiao Xuan didn't laugh at the thin-faced little girl anymore, shook his head and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
"You sit in the lobby for a while, I'll get you something to eat, just put your bags there, and I'll carry them for you later...... Hmm, by the way, what's your name?"
"Mu Xiaoyu, Mu Xiaoyu's Mu, Mu Xiaoyu's Xiaoyu. ”
Xiao Xuan's face flashed blankly, it was the first time he had heard such a unique self-introduction, and he said that looking at this little girl's dress, it is estimated that she has never entered the academy, and she is afraid that she has never even gone to a private school, so it is understandable to think about it.
Having said that, it's really from the north, and even the name is so weird.
"Just call me Xiao Xuan. ”
When Mu Xiaoyu was waiting in the lobby, the sound of ping-pong came from the kitchen. It's strange that hearing the sound of those pots and pans colliding, Mu Xiaoyu actually felt that his mood gradually calmed down. It was only then that she had the heart to take a closer look at the place.
After her eyes wandered around as far as her eyes could see, she suddenly felt a little funny, although this inn was an inn, it was not much better than the tents and caves in the clan.
As soon as many people in the clan heard that they had the opportunity to go to the city where the Xia people lived, they were all envious, and if they were allowed to live in this kind of inn, it would be estimated that they would ......
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu giggled, revealing a lovely tiger tooth, and the big black eyes were bent into a pair of crescents, which looked exceptionally bright in the dim light.
After a while, there was a smell of meat wafting from the kitchen, Mu Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the protest in his stomach suddenly became more and more intense.
One night, the beef noodles in the clear soup were still steaming hot, and they were served.
Five slices of half-palm-sized braised beef, paired with white noodles in clear soup and light green green onions, in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, this is probably the most delicious food in the world.
After all, she has been hungry for a long time, and the snowy girl who has been running around for days can't resist the temptation of a big bowl of beef noodles. The moment the beef noodles were served, he didn't care about burning his mouth, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
Xiao Xuan was still a little confident in his craft, but looking at her gobbling up, he even forgot to be surprised at how she could drink such a hot soup, and sighed silently in his heart: This must be how long she has been hungry, and she will suffer this kind of sin.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't have long been in contact with chopsticks, so that the action of using chopsticks to clip noodles seemed a little clumsy. Seeing that such a trivial matter as eating noodles on her face made a fuss, Xiao Xuan lowered his head and was silent, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
Naturally, he thought of some things from the past, but those things were not appropriate to tell anyone.
Hunger may be one of the most common and unbearable feelings in the world, hunger produces strength, so it didn't take long for a large bowl of clear soup beef noodles to disappear into Mu Xiaoyu's stomach, and there was not even a green onion or a drop of noodle soup left.
Mu Xiaoyu put down the noodle bowl in his hand and gently rubbed his lower abdomen, feeling that although he had eaten so many snacks from all over the summer all the way south, none of them could compare to this seemingly ordinary bowl of beef noodles.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and said with a slightly shy face: "This bowl of noodles ......"
Xiao Xuan knew what she wanted to say, and waved her hand very casually and said, "Don't charge money, it's not me who brags, ordinary people can't eat the beef noodles I made with their own hands, your luck is really good." ”
The girl from the snowy field stared at the empty bowl in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking, but there was something shiny in her eyes flashing, and there was a faint smile on her lips.
On this night, the small inn in the south of the city, which had not been opened for a long time, welcomed its first guest in many days.
The young man, who was planning something big while still struggling on the path to the world of cultivation, did not take such a small matter to heart as always.
Early the next morning, Mu Xiaoyu woke up.
At that time, the sky had just brightened, and the first rays of sunlight cast by the morning sun had just shone into the room on the second floor of the Fenglai Inn. She slept well this night, not only because of the ease after finally finding a shelter in the Xia people's capital, but also because the room she was in was really clean, which made people feel very comfortable in it.
Before she moved in last night, the young man named Xiao Xuan spent half an hour cleaning the room, wiping every inch of the table, every corner of the chair, and every corner of the floor of the room very clean. He was very serious in doing these things, and his seriousness made her feel incredible.
Of course, Mu Xiaoyu didn't know that Xiao Xuan was just doing something that he would feel inappropriate if he didn't do it, and being serious was his consistent attitude towards dealing with all things that were taken for granted.
As she thought about it, she felt hungry again.
The leather jacket that was changed last night was hanging on the hanger in the corner of the room at the moment, Mu Xiaoyu decisively turned over and got out of bed, and then took it out of his bag......
Another leather jacket.
As always, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her dress, because in the depths of the Fury Plains, she and all her people wore them all year round, well, even though there were no seasons in the Fury Plains.
The moment she pushed the door out, a cool morning breeze blew in her face, this was her first morning in Xuanyang.
The birds outside the building are singing, the leaves of the sycamore are swaying in the wind, and everything in front of you is bathed in the warm morning light, and there is no reason to be depressed.
Without the pretentiousness and sentimentality of being a stranger in a foreign land, the naturally cheerful little girl walked out of the door and began to think about today's breakfast.
She's in a really good mood, so she's going to have a good meal at any cost.
Xuanyang, an ancient city with a history of thousands of years, wakes up from the darkness of the night, and after dawn, the people who live in the south of the city begin their busy day.
Those shops selling snacks for breakfast had opened early before the sky was slightly bright, and at this time, those shops were crowded with the people of Xuanyang City inside and out;
In addition to the merchants who specialize in renting shops for breakfast, there are many small food stalls on the streets, and at the moment there are bright and enthusiastic flames burning in those food stalls;
The steaming white steamed buns, the fragrant, golden and crispy baked cakes, and all kinds of snacks are attracting guests who are passing by or coming specially.
Mu Xiaoyu walked on the streets of Xuanyang, which had regained his vitality after a night of silence, looking at the dazzling array of delicious food, and he didn't know what to eat for a while.
Suddenly, she saw a small stall on the side of the road not far away, and a big signboard next to it had a big "noodle" written on it.
Her eyes lit up.
At the front of the stall is a large pot with boiling soup, and next to it is a long noodle table, a big man with a full beard and a big waist rolling out the dough diligently, while smiling heartily, and greeting the guests sitting in the back and those queuing in front of the stall.
The man looked very rude, but a rolling pin was wielded very nimbly in his hand, and in a few moments a huge ball of dough was rolled into a huge dough cake, and then the dough was stacked, and the knife was slashed, and the noodles that were so finely cut flew down the blade into the pot.
The crowd suddenly erupted in applause, and even Mu Xiaoyu, who was crowded in the crowd, clapped his hands with the visitors.
The big man smiled very proudly, this noodle stall is not big, but the reputation is excellent, every day to eat noodles here is an endless stream of diners, this man alone has to be responsible for all the noodles, rolling noodles, cutting noodles, collecting money, looking for money work, actually seems very calm and not flustered, and there is indeed proud capital.
"Boss, come to a bowl of shredded pork noodles and put more shredded meat!"
"A bowl of jajangmyeon thank you!"
"Boss, two bowls of omelette, plus two eggs. ”
"Boss, more ribs!"
"I want a bowl of beef noodles!"
Most of the people who came to eat noodles at this noodle stall were men with five big and three thick, and at this moment suddenly a crisp female voice came, and the boss couldn't help but be stunned.
When I looked at the sound, I found that it was a little girl dressed strangely, looking at her with beautiful big eyes. "Haha, little girl, it's your first time here to eat noodles, right? Don't worry, it's okay to come for the first time, as long as you eat the noodles I made, you will want to come every day!"
Looking at the confident appearance of the boss and the reactions of the diners around him, Mu Xiaoyu looked forward to the taste of this side more and more.
