readx;? Hitomi slept for the first time in these days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info woke up in the morning and saw Ruan Zhong standing outside the door, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You have something to do with me?"
Ruan Zhong also looked at her suspiciously: "Didn't the princess tell the prince last night that she wanted me to take you to get acquainted with Stone City?"
"Stone Town, this city is called Stone Town?" asked with wide eyes.
Being stared at by her all the time, Ruan Zhong lowered his head: "Yes, princess." ”
"Can you stop calling me princess?" Yitong waved his hand, now that he is here, what kind of princess is it.
Ruan Zhong also thought of the previous things: "Yes, Miss Chu." ”
Yitong couldn't help but glare: "Can you also not call me Miss Chu?"
At this moment, Ruan Zhong also glared: "This... ”
"From today onwards, I am neither the Nine Princesses nor Chu You. My name is Hitomi. Please call me Hitomi. "Hitomi can finally call back her original name.
Chu You is dead, and it is Yitong who is alive now.
Zixuan looked at her puzzled, Yitong picked up a stick, wrote the word Yitong on the ground, and solemnly said to the two: "From now on, I am Yitong, this is my name." ”
Ruan Zhong and Zixuan glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.
Sitting in Ruan Zhong's carriage, the three of them walked towards the market in Stone Town, although the city is not very large, but because it is a trade area between the two countries, people are still very lively.
"Sister, are we here to buy something?" Zixuan looked at the dazzling array of goods and the shouting vendors, and was also a little excited.
Yitong looked at her happy smiling face, these days, first followed Mu Qinghuai around, then fled, and almost lost her body, these frightes have made Zixuan stronger and more cautious.
At that moment, Yitong also nodded happily: "Yes! ”
Ruan Zhong didn't speak, but he glanced at Yi Tong in surprise, his body hadn't been well healed, so he simply ran out to play?
After getting out of the carriage, Zixuan was busy looking for fun things, while Yitong was observing the shops on the side of the road.
has been in this era for so long, and has been imprisoned in the palace. Now is the best opportunity to be self-reliant and be a person who can support herself and Zixuan.
The only way Hitomi can think of is to open a store, and what kind of store this store is the goal of this time.
Stone Town, an oasis built in the desert, has a dry climate, but there is no shortage of water. Because of the prosperity of commerce, merchants from many countries came here to do business, and as a result, a diverse and intertwined culture was formed.
Speaking and dressing are distinctive, and Hitomi doesn't know what kind of store she should open.
After walking for most of the day, the three of them were hungry, Ruan Zhong took them into a restaurant, and when they had a formal meal, the restaurant was very lively.
Yitong looked at the busy shopkeeper and wanted to open a restaurant.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone downstairs shouting: "What's the matter? This dish is said to be the dish of our hometown, but it doesn't taste like hometown at all?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly ran up to ask him, "Excuse me, where is your hometown? This dish of ours is an authentic local dish!"
"This dish in my hometown has shiitake mushrooms, green bamboo shoots, and shredded chicken. You don't have anything here, just shredded meat or mutton!" the guest shouted unceremoniously.
Yitong dragged his chin and thought, if that's the case, wouldn't it be better to open a hot pot restaurant?
This is a desert, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the merchants who come and go like to drink wine and eat meat in large pieces, if you open a hot pot restaurant, it is estimated that the business will be very good!
Just thinking about the things that the shopkeeper had already dealt with, he turned around and came here and said to Ruan Zhong: "This guest officer, we have a lot of people here, but there are few seats. Look, this little brother, can I sit with you?"
Yitong raised his eyes and saw a teenage child standing next to the shopkeeper, his delicate face was full of indifference and impatience.
Ruan Zhongzheng wanted to excuse himself, but Yitong immediately replied: "Yes!
"Oh, thank you so much. The shopkeeper said, pulling a stool and letting the boy sit down.
"Ruan Zhong, the restaurant business here is very good. "Itomi wants to know more about the situation here.
"This is Stone Town, the largest restaurant, and naturally business is good. Ruan Zhong was a little unhappy, and Yitong ate at the same table with others at will.
"In addition to this restaurant, how many other restaurants of this size are there?" asked Yi Tong.
Ruan Zhong couldn't answer, after all, he wasn't a local, so he thought about it.
"Three. The child, who was sitting next to him, suddenly interjected.
was stunned and startled the three of them.
"Do you often eat at this kind of restaurant?" Yitong was the first to react and asked.
"Yes. The boy replied.
"Can I ask what your name is?" Yitong looked cautiously, looking at the young man as if he was the kind of person who did not smile and had an indifferent temperament.
The boy kept his mouth shut tightly and never spoke again.
Yitong touched his nose a little embarrassed, this kid is really strange.
After eating, the three of them walked slowly to the meeting, Ruan Zhong insisted on taking the carriage, but Yitong refused, just finished eating, it is not bad to digest it, and it is just right to listen and see more.
Passing through the bustling street, it is a slightly remote village, although the weather is a little cold, but the air quality is very good. Yitong kept taking a deep breath, and as he was walking, he heard footsteps coming.
Before he could understand what was going on, Hitomi found that the three of them had been surrounded by a group of people.
"I opened this road, I planted this tree... "A group of about 30 people, all with hoes and wooden forks, led by a man about 30 years old, wearing tattered clothes and holding a steel fork, stood there, glaring at the three of them. It seems that it took great courage to say half of the classic quotations of robbery.
Ruan Zhong reached out to touch the knife on his waist, but Yi Tong stopped him.
Facing the so-called robbers, he said loudly: "If you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road." ”
The boss with the steel fork was shocked, pointed at Yitong with the fork, and asked tremblingly: "You... How do you know what I'm going to say?"
Next to him, Zixuan burst out laughing, and he didn't expect Yitong to be a bandit.
"There are just three of us, and we don't look like rich people, you're looking for the wrong person. Yitong was not afraid at all, and told the robbers frankly.
"Look at the clothes on your bodies, they are worth much! We don't want more, we can give as much as we want. A childish voice in the crowd shouted.
When he looked over, he saw a young man, although he was in rags, his speech was clear, and his eyes were clear.
Ruan Zhong stepped forward: "In broad daylight, you people actually robbed, you people don't want to live." ”
After that, we are going to start fighting.
