CHAPTER XXI
"Thank you, Childe, but I don't dare to use your silver, I'll go and ask Xiao Er to return it to you. Oh yes, I don't know what to call Childe?".
I tried my best to suppress the curiosity in my heart, thinking that this man was so generous, thinking that the ingot of silver just now was as much as 20 taels, and there would be no purpose for me to meet in this water.
"The girl is too careful. "The man seemed to see through my thoughts.
"In Xia Li Mu, when you go out, you will inevitably encounter difficulties, and you don't have any other meaning to help the girl in Xia, but when you see that the girl is in need, you don't need to thank you for a few taels of silver. ”
"Li Gongzi..."
"Don't shirk anymore, your name is Xiao Qin, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Li. ”
"Hehe, let's call me Brother Li, I should be older than you in terms of age. ”
This Li Mu spoke in an orderly manner, and with a warm persuasiveness, I listened to him and felt very trusting in my heart, and I was very willing to listen to him.
"Thank you, Brother Li. "I said thank you anyway.
"Hehe, I'll live in the room next to you, if you have anything, just come to me, Song Lin, He Jian, let's go into the house." ”
"Yes, master. ”
The two men behind Li Mu nodded their heads and replied at the same time, with no change in the expression on their faces.
After Li Mu and the three of them entered the house, I walked into my guest room, poured a cup of tea after sitting down, and drank a few sips, but the questions in my heart became more and more, who is this Song Mu who looks like Doudou?
Forget it, I still don't want to think about this problem, since the rich boy is willing to pay, this girl is willing to stay, I still go out to find a family to sell clothes, and I don't dare to put the mushrooms and sword books I bring with me in this guest room, and I take them with me.
Out of the inn, not a few steps to see a cloth shop selling clothing, I want to choose a few sets first, ask the price and then go back to the inn to find the little two to return a few taels of silver, this money is really a good thing, no money is nothing to do.
When I entered the store and looked at the clothes in the store, I didn't find a few sets of decent clothes, and the gap between the level of tailoring clothes in this town and that Wuchang City is too big.
"Girl, which ones do you like?" asked the shopkeeper next to him, smiling.
"This pink and that purple, how much silver do they cost?" I still chose two sets, although I was not very satisfied, but I made do with it.
"The girl has a good eye, these two pieces are made of the best silk in Yangzhou, for the sake of the store closing soon, count you at a cheap price, two pieces of three taels of silver. ”
What? Three taels, it's more expensive than living in a store, but I don't know the market for this clothes, and buying clothes in Wuchang is also the money given by Li Meinu, no way, I'll go back to the little two to ask for a few taels of silver.
There was a hint of shame on my face:
"Boss, I don't have enough money, let me take a moment, and I'll come when I withdraw the money." ”
I just want to go out.
"Girl, please wait. "This boss is afraid that I won't look back when I go out, so I'm busy holding and stopping.
"The girl didn't bring any money, just ask the girl if you still need the tiger skin on your body, if you don't need it anymore, you can sell it to me, just now the girl chose those two clothes and give you five taels of silver?"
Oh, the owner of this shop was beating the attention of the tiger skin on my body, but it is not suitable for my big girl to wear this tiger skin, no wonder the return rate is quite high when walking on the street today, I thought I was too beautiful.
I thought about it, this tiger skin has not worked for me yet, the owner of this shop wants to buy it, he can sell it, but when I killed the tiger and picked up the tiger skin, I didn't expect it to be sold at such a good price.
"Okay, boss, do you have a place to change clothes here, I'll go change this tiger skin. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, girl, please come with me. The owner of the shop looked very excited, took off the two clothes, took me and led me into the shop.
"Girl, let's change here, I'll go out first. ”
When the shopkeeper went out, I covered the door, took off the tiger skin, put on the pink clothes, and went out to give the tiger skin to the shopkeeper, who had already prepared five taels of silver in his hand, and took the tiger skin and put it in my hand.
Out of this cloth shop, I am still very happy in my heart, I didn't expect this tiger skin to help me a lot at a critical moment, I don't need to be cheeky to ask the little two for money.
Back to the Tianxiang Inn, let Xiao Er get hot water, and after taking a refreshing hot bath, he got up and went downstairs to eat something.
"Guest, here's the recipe. A beautiful waitress with a beautiful appearance handed me a cookbook.
Oh, it's interesting, how familiar does this inn feel to me, I opened the recipe and looked at the dishes inside, I couldn't help but be surprised, the first in this recipe is the signature dish "salted duck"!
Oh my God, this saltwater duck is famous in Nanjing, how did this come from ancient times?
Flipping through the dishes in the back, I almost didn't cry out in surprise, almost half of the dishes have the same names as the dishes I have eaten in the 21st century, and the dishes include the famous dishes of the four major cuisines of modern Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, and Suzhou!
What kind of inn is this? It's better than many modern restaurants.
I'll have to order a few dishes to eat, and the name may just be a coincidence.
I ordered a signature dish of salted duck, and then ordered a plate of kung pao diced meat, a tofu soup, and it didn't take long for these dishes to be placed on the table in turn.
I tasted it carefully, it was really delicious, this taste was many times better than the ones I ate in Wuchang City, I don't know how many times better, I really want to meet the chef of this cooking, and I don't know how he will make so many modern dishes, but if you think about it carefully, Chinese cuisine has existed since ancient times, I have no research on this cuisine, maybe my vision is too narrow, maybe these dishes have been available in ancient times, or forget it, enjoy the food slowly.
After eating, after instructing Xiao Er to put up the accounts, it was completely dark at this time, there were no modern street lights in this town, and the streets outside were also dark, so I was in no mood to go shopping, so I went upstairs and prepared to go back to my room to rest.
As soon as I went upstairs, I met Li Mu, who had already changed into another set of light yellow clothes at this time, and his hat was still the big emerald hat, and only the bald man was behind him.
"Well, isn't this Miss Xiao? I didn't notice that Miss Xiao was so beautiful after changing her clothes. Li Mu smiled slightly, looked at me and said.
I didn't expect this Li Mu to speak so directly, in my heart I thought that there should not be such a direct praise of others between men and women of the ancients, besides, I have only met once with that Li Mu before, although that Li Mu spent 20 taels of silver for me, is this Li Mu a rich second generation, but this is just some of my inferences, this ancient people also scored reserved and arrogant, maybe this Li Mu belongs to the latter.
Even if I look at the 20 taels of silver, I smiled slightly:
"Brother Li has won the award, the tiger skin I wore before was just helpless, and the current dress is my daily attire. ”
"Oh, I thought Miss Xiao was a hunter. ”
This Li Mu is okay not to say, as soon as I said it, I remembered that my dress before was really a hunter's dress, and I smiled secretly, and Li Mu on the side also laughed.
I quickly swept Li Mu with my eyes, and I still felt very strange in my heart, how did this Li Mu look so similar to that Doudou, but after careful comparison, Li Mu's hair is longer than Doudou, the maintenance is also very good, the skin is smooth and white, this Li Mu's family background is definitely very good, it is estimated that his father is not a big official or a big businessman, Li Mu's eyes are always very deep, and when he looks at people, he seems to see through the other party, but I can't see what kind of person this Li Mu is from his eyes.
At this moment, the middle-aged handsome man who looked like a housekeeper came out of the room and walked to Li Mu's side, looked at me with indifferent eyes, and then put his mouth on Li Mu's ear and whispered something.
The housekeeper man and Li Mu probably didn't expect that the martial arts cultivation of this beautiful woman in front of them was so high, and their soft whispers were actually clear to me.
"Master, report from the Yingtian spy, the boss of the Juyuan Money Village has returned, waiting for us in Yingtian, the spy also said that the master's trip to Yingtian this time was also noticed by the other party, I hope the master will be careful all the way..."
How do you feel very puzzled by this, what is the origin of this Li Mu in front of me, I have already heard of this Juyuan Money Village, all the silver tickets of Li Meinu's restaurant in Wuchang City are exchanged in this money village, this Juyuan Money Village is now the first money village in the world, the boss of this money village is still waiting for Li Mu to go, I didn't expect this Li Mu to have such a big influence at a young age, it seems that Li Mu's background is not just a rich man.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xiao, Li still has something to do, so I won't accompany the girl, good night. After Li Mu heard this, he said this directly to me, and then motioned to the housekeeper man to stop talking.
"Oh okay, good night. I came back to my senses and agreed.
Li Mu and the three of them turned around and went back to their room, and then closed the door, I don't plan to continue to listen to what they say, Uncle Cheng taught me before, it's best not to know things that you shouldn't know directly when you walk the rivers and lakes, so as not to get into trouble, and it's not good to get into trouble, besides, this Li Mu looks the same as Doudou, and it's not really Doudou, although I used some of his silver, and I will double it with him when I have money in the future.
After thinking about it, I also went back to the room, closed the door, walked to the bed, took off my shoes, sat quietly on the bed, put the Aoki sword and the wrap on my back aside, and then luckily with the whole body with the Aoki heart method to practice, this Aoki heart method every day I must practice diligently, with the current internal force of my opinion, the cultivation of the seventh form of the Aoki swordsmanship is far from enough, only the internal force reaches a certain strength, and the airflow used to cultivate the sword qi fused into the sword body will better change the fundamental attributes of the sword.
A warm current instantly flowed all over the body, every part of the body was fused to absorb this warm current, and suddenly I thought of the more than 20 mushrooms in the package, this fresh mushroom can't be left for too long in this weather, I have to find a way to turn the mushroom into a dried mushroom.
It's not realistic, the inn guest rooms are very well decorated, and the guests will not be allowed to light a fire in the room, the candles are equipped with windproof equipment, and the candles alone don't know how to bake until the year of the monkey.
Then you have to wait for the next day, but the late autumn sun is very slow to dry things, and I have to find Li Meinu and Liu Yifan as soon as possible, so I don't have time to spend on drying mushrooms.
By the way, use internal force!
I held the purple heart grass tightly in both hands, took a deep breath, gathered the qi dantian, a strong warm current erupted from the inside, the warm flow on the hands, the hands felt hot as if they were lit by fire, after a while, I saw bursts of water vapor from the hands, a lot of water droplets dripped down the hands, and after a while, the water vapor disappeared, and the water droplets disappeared, stopped luck, opened the hand to see, this purple heart grass is like a dried vegetable after dehydration, the purple color is still retained, it has become very dry, there is no trace of water in it.
The effect is very good, according to the method of refining more than 20 purple heart grass one by one, the night is already very deep, from the town street from the sound of the watch I heard very clearly.
"Knock! Knock! The night is quiet, be careful of the candles, and close the doors and windows. ”
The third watch, it's already past eleven o'clock in the evening, let's rest, we have to hurry tomorrow.
After packing up the purple heart grass, I still sat on the bed with my clothes closed, the dozens of days of cultivation in the cave have made me accustomed to this way of resting, but the bed in this guest room is not as wonderful as the jade bed, there is no warm current to warm the body, I still have to rely on my own internal strength.
As soon as I closed my eyes and wanted to sleep, suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps on the roof, which was absolutely inaudible to ordinary people, but I could hear it very clearly.
Listening to the voice, there was more than one person on the roof.
In my judgment, there are probably more than a dozen people, and more than a dozen martial arts masters, who would make such a slight footstep sound.
