Chapter 38: If You Have Money
"So be it." Miao Zhen pointed to the cheapest meal.
"Stir-fried meat with chili? Okay, what about this gentleman? The waitress looked at Xu Shuo.
"Then I'm going to fry the chicken breast." Xu Shuo said.
"Would you like something to drink?" The waitress asked, "We have pear wine and milk." ”
"Two more glasses of milk, then." Xu Shuo stretched out two fingers and said.
"Okay, do you need anything?" The waitress asked.
"So be it." Xu Shuo said.
After the waitress left, Miao Zhen looked at the waitress who was walking away and said to Xu Shuo: "Brother Xu Shuo, you are so amazing." ”
Xu Shuo was a little confused, "What do you say?" ”
"Brother Xu Shuo, you know how to read, and if you can join the Bounty Hunters Guild, you can earn money in one day that I can't earn in a year, so I think Brother Xu Shuo, you are very powerful." Miao Zhen's expression was a little lonely, "If only I could become a person like Brother Xu Shuo one day." ”
Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then touched Miao Zhen's head across the table.
"No problem, Miao Zhen, you will definitely be able to become a more powerful person than me in the future, don't look at me like this, I am still living on other people's food at your age, I think Miao Zhen you are much better than me." Xu Shuo said.
"However, I have survived now thanks to everyone's help, and if it weren't for the help of my boss, I probably wouldn't even have a place to live." Miao Zhen smiled bitterly, "But I can't do anything for the boss, and sure enough, I'm still very useless." ”
At this time, the waitress came over with two glasses of milk, and the two fell silent in unison, and after the waitress left, Xu Shuo continued: "It's not your fault, generally speaking, children should be raised by their parents." ”
Xu Shuo was a little regretful after saying this, because he saw Miao Zhen lowering her head and her bangs covering her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, but judging from the fact that she didn't say anything, she shouldn't be thinking about something happy.
"Ahem." Xu Shuo coughed lightly twice, and tried to change the topic: "Anyway, it's all about money, and money may be a little difficult for you now, but when you grow up, how many ways to make money will be." Oh, by the way, if you were given 300 gold coins, what would you do? ”
Money is always a great topic to talk about, and while different people have different wishes, most of them always start with "If I had money."
This trick really worked, Miao Zhen raised his head,
"If I have that much money, I want to find my dad and mom." Miao Zhen said with a wry smile, "But in my life, it shouldn't be possible to have so much money." ”
The topic came back to it.
Xu Shuo could guess that Miao Zhen's parents were not by her side, but he didn't know if it was because he died, or if he just abandoned Miao Zhen, and now it seems that it was the latter.
"This ...... It's okay, even if you don't have that much money, you can still go to them when you grow up. Xu Shuo tried to comfort.
"No, it's not." Miao Zhen shook his head, "If there is no money, there is no point in finding them." ”
Xu Shuo was stunned.
"Why? Do you want to get revenge on them? Throw the gold coin in their face and say, 'Sorry for letting you abandon me?' Xu Shuo said.
Although Xu Shuo felt that Miao Zhen would not do such a thing, if this was the case, he could also understand it, after all, when he was young, he had also fantasized about throwing money in the face of his father, whom he had never met, and then asked him if he regretted it.
However, Miao Zhen shook his head again.
"No, I want to thank them." Miao Zhen said.
"Thanks?"
"Well, I'm thankful that they let me be born in this world. I think they must have been forced to give me away because they didn't have the money to support me, right? Even if they didn't have money, they worked hard to give birth to me, and they were very great parents, so I was very grateful to them, and in return, I wanted to earn a lot of money to give to them. Miao Zhen said.
Xu Shuo was silent, it was the first time he had heard such an answer.
Then, Miao Zhen whispered: "Then, at that time, they will let me live with them, as long as I am not short of money, it is okay to recognize me as a daughter...... Right? ”
Xu Shuo picked up the milk on the table and handed it to his mouth, his hands trembling a little.
He was inexplicably angry, he wanted to tell Miao Zhen that although the word parents is very sacred, not every parent is a saint, there are many scumbags in the world, irresponsibly conceiving children, irresponsible giving birth to children, and finally irresponsibly leaving them behind, and then walking away in a chic manner, how many such people there are, my father is like this, and your parents may be like this.
But Xu Shuo knew he couldn't say that.
People who are born with nothing should at least have the right to expect something.
"Guest, it's just your chili stir-fried meat." The waitress brought the dish Miao Zhen ordered, half of the small dish was filled with fiery red peppers, and a bowl of rice was also served, "Please use it slowly." ”
"Thank you." Miao Zhen thanked the waiter very politely, and then stared at the chili fried meat in front of him and said in a daze, "It seems to be very spicy." ”
Xu Shuo suddenly remembered that Miao Zhen was illiterate, and it was estimated that the order was also disorderly, such a spicy dish, if she ate it, she would be able to choke.
At this time, the waiter brought up the fried chicken breast he ordered, Xu Shuo looked at the chicken breast in front of him, and then looked at Miao Zhen's chili fried meat, and said, "Ah, I didn't want this spicy, I thought it was spicy, but I made a mistake." ”
"Brother Xu Shuo, do you want to eat me? Mine is spicy. Miao Zhen asked.
"Do you like chicken breasts, or else we'll swap them?" Xu Shuo said.
When Miao Zhen heard this, he nodded happily and said, "Okay." ”
Xu Shuo then exchanged the dishes of the two, and then ate them.
This chili fried meat is really spicy, and I don't know what kind of chili peppers are in the other world, so spicy that people want to breathe fire, Xu Shuo was not a very spicy person, after eating a few pieces of meat, his forehead began to sweat.
"It's delicious." Miao Zhen ate the chicken breast with a happy smile on his face.
"Vegetarian, spicy roar." Xu Shuo was so spicy that his tongue was big.
Seeing Xu Shuo like this, Miao Zhen asked with some concern: "Brother Xu Shuo, are you okay?" ”
"Huh? Ah, well, I'm also yelling, do you want a little bit of it? (I'm also delicious here, do you want some?) Xu Shuo asked.
Miao Zhen looked at Xu Shuo, whose face was flushed and sweating, and shook his head in fear.
After eating, Xu Shuo paid for the meal with gold coins, and the waiter accepted the gold coins with a look of embarrassment, and then took a heavy bag from the counter for a long time and handed it back to Xu Shuo, saying that there were ninety-nine silver coins and thirty-four copper coins in it.
Xu Shuo held the money bag in his hand and asked Miao Zhen, "Miao Zhen, do you know if there is a better weapon shop near here?" ”
He had already returned the knife he had lent him, so he needed to buy some good equipment to arm himself now.
