For this red-clothed girl named Huaxia, Xu Changan actually had a lot of curiosity in his heart, such as how she was able to break through with only one person in the process of being surrounded by Sifang City.

It didn't seem like a cultivator to see that girl, but she was too hasty to meet this time, so she had to pile up all these curiosities and ask them when they met next time.

But I don't even know where they have gone, how can we meet again?

Chang'an City, after thinking about it, Xu Chang'an thought that there was a high chance that she would go to this place.

It's just this Chang'an City... Xu Changan didn't want to go in his heart.

I didn't want to go because I thought there was something terrible there, and I didn't want to go because I had some grudge against that city.

Rather, it comes from a letter.

In fact, Xu Chang'an still had a certain yearning for Chang'an City before, and originally thought that his name was taken according to that city, but after seeing the letter, he realized that it was not, this name was chosen for him by his mother.

Standing quietly in place, he couldn't help but touch his chest.

There, in addition to the remaining six gold cakes given to him by Wu Qitu, there were four letters in some places on the inner layer, and the last one clearly said that if you have time, you can go to the east and take a look.

That's right, I don't want to go to Chang'an City just because this city is in the east.

Let me go east to west, which is also one of the reasons why he is willing to go to Wangshu Tower, which is thousands of miles away, to participate in the entrance test.

I don't want to go, so I can only wait for when the other party will come back and ask.

I couldn't help but rub my stomach and touch my sleeves again, fortunately I took some of the stolen money out of it at that time, otherwise I would really end up in a situation where I couldn't even eat in this capital.

Walking towards the city, passing by a shop that sells breakfast, thinking about the bowl of osmanthus fish dumplings that I caught the fish in the Sifang City but couldn't eat, I blurted out: "I want a steamed osmanthus fish dumpling." ”

A middle-aged man who supported the early shop looked down at the young man with a slight frown, and then looked at the few drawers of buns sitting high on the cage, and then looked around at the slightly noisy environment.

I sucked my teeth angrily, wanting to tell him that buns are not the same thing as dumplings, and if you want to eat osmanthus fish, you have to go to the restaurant, how can we buy those things that are difficult to purchase in this small store?

But isn't it, Beiyang City is located in the middle of the Dachang Dynasty, the big rivers are all far away from this city, only some conditional restaurants can afford to pay the price to send people to other places to purchase, along the way not only to speed the horse, but also need to keep using well water and even digging out a large pile of ice in the ice cellar to keep fresh, these are all expenses.

You must know that ice cubes are not available at all times, and they can only be stored in the winter.

Moreover, the ice cellar is not something that ordinary people can dig out, it must be the dignitaries, or even the one in the palace, who can dig such a deep ice cellar under this ground to ensure that the ice does not melt.

But before the middle-aged man could open his mouth and send him away, another voice next to him said what he wanted to say.

"You can eat as much as you want, the little fart boy is more particular about the old man than the old man, what kind of rich young master do you really think you are?"

The boss who sold steamed buns was greatly relieved, and hurriedly asked the old man who said this, "Uncle, what do you want to eat?"

"Pork and green onion buns, two cages. He looked at the swallow on his shoulder and said, "Three cages." ”

"Okay. ”

Xu Changan scratched his ears and followed the sound to see an old man in gray with gray hair and eyebrows standing next to him, and the strangest thing was that there was a swallow with smooth hair standing honestly on his shoulder.

This is really an eye-opener for Xu Changan, there are also people walking birds, but they are all ornamental birds, and this swallow is indeed extremely rare.

But he still didn't forget the old man's ridicule, and replied to the man with his small waist not to be outdone: "Hey, I'm still a teenager, what's wrong with wanting to eat steamed dumplings?"

The old man turned his head and glanced at the other party, the corners of his mouth twitched, took the three steamed buns he wanted, pointed at Xu Changan with one hand, and said to the boss of the steamed bun shop: "Look for this young master to ask for money." ”

"Gotcha. ”

......

Xu Changan was slightly stunned, looked at the middle-aged man's appearance of the young master giving money, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not familiar with this old man!"

The boss lost his temper, rolled up his sleeves and pretended to say: "Hey, let's say that your kid came here on purpose to make trouble?

Xu Changan nodded dumbly.

The middle-aged man counted with his fingers, muttered to himself, and muttered to himself: "A cage of steamed buns with ten copper plates, you can fool more from other places." Then he coughed lightly twice, and said seriously: "Three steamed buns, forty copper plates!"

Xu Changan listened to the other party's low calculation for fear of hearing it, and then listened to the asking price of forty copper plates for three long buns, and said speechlessly: "How did you calculate three long buns and forty copper plates?"

The middle-aged man was happy when he heard this, pointed at Xu Changan and said with a smile: "Hey, this kid, I can't even calculate the account, three cages of buns, forty, one cage is thirteen... Thirteen..."

When the boss was scratching his ears and cheeks to calculate the account, a guest walked out after eating and rubbing his belly, lined up a row of copper plates, and said: "A cage of pork and green onions, ten copper plates." ”

The boss took the copper plate, not embarrassed, waved his hand and didn't continue to count, and said magnificently: "Then thirty-nine." ”

Xu Changan was speechless, touched the inside of his sleeve, and then stood on tiptoe and slapped it on the cabinet, shouting: "Master, I'll give you forty!"

"Come on, it's delicious!"

Xu Changan touched his stomach, I haven't eaten a bite yet!

Turning his head to look at the old man sitting on the table and stool that enjoyed the three steamed buns alone, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, why did Lao Tzu spend money on you to eat?

Seeing that the old man didn't understand the seriousness of the matter at all, and even occasionally tore off a piece of dough and put it on the table for the swallow to eat, Xu Changan sneered and slowly stepped forward with the black sword.

But the other party didn't seem to notice him, and he was still satisfied.

This guy really doesn't know the seriousness of the matter! Xu Changan thought so in his heart.

Standing in front of the other party, he looked at the three baskets of steamed buns that were slowly decreasing with an angry face, put the black sword on the table, and said: "I won't beat you either, this breakfast will be regarded as if I invited you, but I don't have the money to buy it now, I have to eat it too!"

The old man broke open a pork and green onion bun overflowing with soup, took a bite in front of the other party, slowly chewed and swallowed it into his stomach, with a slight chuckle on the corner of his mouth, and said with contempt: "Isn't the young master quite rich? ”

Xu Changan's eyes lit up, and he held up the other sleeve without a trace, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

The old man stared at Xu Chang'an's movements and laughed twice, swallowed the remaining buns in his hand into his stomach, looked at the two cages that were still left on the table, and said, "I'll take these away and pack them for me." ”

I can't finish eating it, and I won't give it to you...

Xu Changan followed behind the other party, holding his stomach and looking at the old man in front of him carrying two baskets of steamed buns and throwing them twice as he walked all the way, if he wanted to say that he was not angry, it was fake.

Several times he almost stepped forward to beat the other party, but fortunately, in the Sifang City, a certain man who carried a flat burden told him that an old man like that kind of old man must not be messed with.

Xu Changan thinks that this is not because the older ones are usually strong and terrible, but because if something happens to the other party, you have to walk around without eating.

So looking at the old man in front of him is really a bit like the stone in the pit, smelly and hard.

The old man walked in front and suddenly sneezed, turned his head and looked at Xu Changan with a strange look in his eyes, and asked, "Are you scolding me?"

Xu Changan was slightly stunned, don't turn his head and pay attention to him lazily, although he didn't admit it, he didn't hide anything.

Why don't I beat you up, don't you know in your own heart?

To Xu Chang'an's surprise, the old man in gray was not angry, he just laughed twice, and then walked forward.

Everywhere he passed, more and more prosperous, Xu Changan suddenly had some bad thoughts from the bottom of his heart, this old man...

Then he shook his head, thinking that there should be no such old traffickers, and with so many people in the capital, as long as he didn't follow him to a small alley, he should be fine in front of so many pedestrians.

There is really no small alley, just walking all the way on the wide street, just when Xu Changan was hungry and couldn't walk, the old man pointed to a building in front of him and said: "Here, there is osmanthus fish to eat." ”

When Xu Changan saw it, he immediately became vigilant, and his steps couldn't help but retreat, and he said, "This, this should be a Qinglou, right?"

The old man scolded angrily, "Stinky boy, you can't tell the difference between green and red, right? This is the Red Mansion!"

Xu Chang'an fixed his eyes, he was indeed very red, but he was still vigilant in his heart, shook his head and replied: "I'm not going, you give me the bun, I'll eat the bun." ”

The old man smiled, and his position suddenly changed to the swallow that was falling vertically, and he didn't have time to flapp its wings.

Xu Changan was in a daze, when he suddenly felt a force on his back, and his feet were unstable and he had to run forward quickly.

When he stood still, he found himself in the building.

Looking back, the old man was looking at himself outside the building, brushed his beard, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I don't want to go in, but I run quite fast." ”
