Chapter 169: It's the first time I've eaten sugar
Before entering the town, Xu Jingluo picked up the little gray ash and half-covered it with his sleeves, and he couldn't tell if it was a dog or a wolf when he was still young.
Xu Jingluo thought about it and told him seriously.
"Little Gray Gray, don't howl when you get to a crowded place, and don't run around, people will find out that you are a wolf, and it will be troublesome."
Little Gray Ash cleverly rolled its cyan eyes, if it would normally snort to indicate that it understood, but it didn't make a sound at this time.
"Uh-huh, little Gray is smart." Xu Jingluo knew that it understood, and rubbed it on its head.
Little Ash is enjoying it.
can be held by the owner as a baby and die happily, but there are no two little masters competing with it for favor, well-behaved and docile lying in Xu Jingluo's arms, no matter how she follows her hair, she is more well-behaved than Erha.
This time, everyone was not as tight on money as last time, so they found a restaurant to eat.
Twenty-five people sat at three tables, fish, broth, white rice, everyone is not the master of the door, they all know that money is earned, not saved, should be eaten, should be done.
Xiao Ash couldn't eat salty, so Xu Jingluo went to the stove room to find a cook to fry a piece of wild boar for it and feed it.
After eating, I found an inn for one night, and the next morning, I continued to Shuanglong City.
"Go to the dock to buy a boat first, and after you buy a boat, you go back to the village first, Jing An and I are going to Shuanglong City to do some errands, and we may not be able to go back a few days late." Xu Jingluo took a pancake in his hand and said while nibbling on it.
Feng Ze'an was also nibbling on pancakes, taking a big bite and chewing in a vague voice, "If Sister Jingluo, let's accompany you to find Brother Jing Sheng first, and then go to the dock to buy a boat." ”
The Zhang family gave birth to four children, and the eldest son, Xu Jingsheng, was unknown on the battlefield, which is something that everyone in the village knows.
Ye Jiaming also nibbled on pancakes and said, "It's easy to do things with more people, and more than 20 people go out to inquire, it's better than the two of you." ”
"Yes, let's all act together, safety first." The others did not feel comfortable opening their mouths.
Xu Jingluo knew that he couldn't convince them, so he nodded and agreed.
After entering the city at an ordinary speed for at least three days, Xu Jingluo and his party arrived at Shuanglong City in the evening of the next day.
When he entered the city, he saw a farmer picking up unsold vegetables and fruits, so Xu Jingluo asked Xu Jingan to buy all the fruits and vegetables with baskets.
In addition, I met an uncle who was carrying five or six pheasants ready to go into the city to sell, so he also bought them and threw them into the basket to pick them up.
When he entered the city, he saw that there were people selling fresh wild boar meat on the street at a reasonable price, so he cut it in half, cut it in half, and threw it into a basket.
Coincidentally, Mrs. Pang was also near the pork stall, and her eyes were straight when she saw Xu Jingluo so willing to spend money, and she bought half a wild boar as soon as she bought it, is this girl rich?
By the way, this cheap girl doesn't know anyone in the city, and when she buys so many vegetables, she won't go to her own house to recognize her father and milk, right? If they don't have a pot or a stove, where will they cook?
It must be that there is no help outside, and I can't live anymore, and I found that my father has become a tax collector and is developed, and I want to come to seek peace!
Oh, that's good, if she really wants to admit it, then she will recognize them back, and call them as slaves.
Especially Jingling's girl is good-looking, maybe she can sell her for a good price!
Old Madam Pang hid aside, the more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and she had even thought of dozens of ways to frustrate them in her mind.
At this time, Xu Jingan asked in surprise, "Sister, where are we going to visit when we buy so many dishes?" ”
Mrs. Pang hurriedly pricked up her ears and listened, thinking that Xu Jingluo would definitely say that she went to her own house to recognize her relatives.
I never thought about it, Xu Jingluo said while paying for pork:
"Uncle Meng, who built our house, is the son of General Meng, and their entire family is a hero worthy of everyone's respect, so I will take you to visit later."
"If it weren't for Yun Che's inconvenience to show up last time, I would have wanted to invite them to dinner."
When Mrs. Pang heard this, she spat angrily on the ground.
"Those rough people with crippled hands and lame hands deserve everyone's respect? Oh, it's better to buy so many good things to feed them than to feed them! ”
Her son is a scholar, and in the eyes of scholars, those martial artists are worthless.
"This cheap girl is also cheap enough, those who have a father and milk are not filial, go to be filial to them? Wolf heart and dog lungs. Mrs. Pang scolded angrily and left with an unhappy face.
The young men on the village were both admired and excited.
"General Meng? Meng Jiajun? ”
"It's great to be able to make friends with them."
Meng Jiajun, all of them are iron-blooded men who have killed people on the battlefield and seen blood, even the Southern Zhou royal family may not dare to provoke.
If you can get acquainted with them and do business in the city in the future, even Zhu Changling, I'm afraid I won't dare to find fault with them.
However, Xu Jingluo didn't think about it so much, purely because of his respect and admiration for these men in the military camp who sacrificed their lives for the country and the people, and simply wanted to invite everyone to a meal.
The group continued to walk forward enthusiastically.
After walking a short distance, I saw the house I had built in the distance.
In just half a month, the house has roughly taken shape, and this speed is fast enough.
"Luo girl, is that you?"
Uncle Wu and the others were busy finishing their work and preparing to call it a day, when they saw a familiar figure coming, they all stood on the side of the street and looked this way.
"It's me, Uncle Wu, Second Uncle Wu, Third Uncle Wu." Xu Jingluo stepped forward with a smile and introduced everyone to Uncle Wu and them, "This is my younger brother Xu Jing'an, this is the young man in our village, we are here to buy fishing boats and fishing nets this time." ”
Xu Jing'an and the young men stood up straight, lined up in two columns, their faces were full of respect, and they all greeted the men in the barracks.
"Hello everyone, uncles and uncles."
Uncle Wu and the others also looked at them with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.
Uncle Wu boasted, "This group of young people is really good, and their bodies are strong." ”
"Not only is it strong, but it also has a bit of the style of a man in the barracks." Second Uncle Wu added.
Uncle Wu smiled, "What's the matter? Why do you want to enlist them in the army? That's it, Luo girl, everyone will eat at your Uncle Meng's house tonight, and it will be lively. ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Jingluo to answer, and instructed Second Uncle Wu, "Second brother, you go back and bring two jars of newly brewed fruit wine at home, and everyone will have a good time tonight." ”
"Yes, big brother." Second Uncle Wu said and walked quickly to the east of the city.
Xu Jingluo and his entourage were not polite, and followed one or twenty men to Uncle Meng's house.
Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng's family heard the noise and welcomed them out of the house, and saw Xu Jingluo with a surprised face.
"Luo Yatou is here, come in and sit."
Aunt Meng was tall and thin, with an amiable smile on her face, and directly stepped forward to drag Xu Jingluo's hand.
Last time, she and Gu Changgong drank tea and chatted for a long time at Uncle Meng's house, and they were all familiar.
"Sister Jingluo is good." Several children of the Meng family also gathered around to say hello.
Xu Jingluo took out the candy prepared in advance, and each person gave a handful, which made the children crazy, since they went into exile, this is the first time they have eaten candy.
"Auntie, you eat too." Xu Jingluo also stuffed a handful of sugar into Aunt Meng's hand.
"Well, there's still sugar to eat? Auntie is really blessed. Aunt Meng said as she led Xu Jingluo into the house and sat down.
The others moved the tables and sat down outside the courtyard, and sat down for six or seven tables, and when night fell, they put torches into the courtyard wall, and the lights were bright.
The whole courtyard was extremely lively.
"Uncle, where is the stove room? We bought some food to cook at night. Xu Jingan said and got up to bear the burden, and Uncle Meng was busy.
"I'll buy the vegetables this time, just come in directly next time, and the uncle can still afford to entertain a few meals."
With a hearty smile on his face, he finished speaking, handed over the burden to a few young men in the family, and Second Uncle Meng and Second Aunt Meng led them to cook.
The young people in the village were very interested in the things in the barracks, and they pestered the uncles and uncles of the Wu family and the Meng family to talk about interesting things on the battlefield, and the conversation was so enthusiastic.
Inside the house, Aunt Meng looked around and looked at Xu Jingluo in wonder.
"Luo girl, where is Changgong? Why didn't you see him? ”
"He's back to the Western Wei Kingdom." Xu Jingluo propped his chin and replied lightly.
"Why did this ~~ leave all of a sudden? Didn't you think about doing business in the city last time? ”
"Businessman, if you go from south to north, don't you just say you can go?"
"Luo girl, do you think he's a businessman? Auntie doesn't look like ...... He'll be back, right? ”
"Maybe." Xu Jingluo shrugged his shoulders and said in his heart, who knows? This time, it is estimated that he was directly caught by his parents and married.
