Chapter 19 Man breathes a breath of life
In the Makuyo Prefecture, the so-called boarding is to fully restrict freedom and militarize management to restrain students.
In addition to the Imperial Palace, there are restaurants, scripture pavilions, training grounds, and even gambling houses, red mansions and other entertainment venues.
Although Xiaocui is skillful, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, at Xiaocui's request, the two followed the way out and found the direction of the restaurant.
According to Xiaocui, after eating in the restaurant, you have to buy a few sets of tables and chairs from the carpenter, wardrobes and dressers are also essential, as for rouge gouache, it is even more important, in addition, although there is a shared stove, you also need to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits, this calculation, the silver taels brought by the two are just enough.
But this leads to a dilemma, what happens after the food that has been eaten for the past few days?
That's a problem.
Xu An originally thought that the Muyang Mansion was backed by the royal nobles, so it was naturally impossible to lack silver, and the shot must be rich and rich, and there was no need to worry about the basic guarantee of food and shelter, but the fact was that it was the opposite, but one thing was still correct.
That is, the Muyang Mansion is really rich, and the walls are hung with the hand-me-down articles of the calligraphers of the past dynasties, and the vase ornaments are even more gold-inlaid with jade, which is not luxurious, only the residence is clean, a table, a chair, a mirror and a bed.
Stingy!
Xu An sighed, looking at Xiao Cui, who was picking at the broken silver with his little finger on the side, and looked resentful, he was a little embarrassed.
I knew that I wouldn't pretend to be 13, so I had to join in the fun, and I gave a tael of silver!
Xu An's head was dripping blood, pretending to be calm, touching Xiaocui's head, and said: "Childe will definitely not let you go hungry, you can buy whatever you want, it's a big deal for me to go out and make money." ”
Xiao Cuiliu raised her eyebrows, "Childe said easily, how can the current job be so easy to find! Grandpa has been working in the Xu Mansion for fifty years, and the monthly money is only two taels of silver per month, if it weren't for the heart of the lord and the wife, the grandfather would have jumped to the Guogong Mansion a long time ago." ”
Xu An's head was full of black lines, and then he remembered that he was dominated by this little girl all the way in the carriage, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "What Xiaocui said is, then what should we do now?"
He has learned to be obedient, and everything that can only be said in accordance with it, and it is unpredictable what kind of words will be led by saying it in reverse.
Xiao Cui nodded her little head, stretched out her finger, and pointed to the palatial restaurant in front of her, "Let's eat there." ”
"Good. Xu An nodded, this little girl finally understands something and knows how to eat first.
The two walked to the front of the restaurant, and Xu An was about to step in, but was stopped by Xiao Cui.
"Childe, you're on the wrong track. ”
Xu An looked at her, then looked around, sure that she was talking to herself, before asking, "Isn't it here?"
"Is Childe hungry?" asked Xiao Cui seriously.
"I'm a little hungry. Xu An touched his empty stomach and replied patiently.
"Hungry people eat quickly, and there are still a lot of them, Childe, don't you say?" Xiao Cui continued.
"It's not all, I eat slowly, but more is good, and hungry people naturally want to eat more......"
"That boy went there to eat. Xiaocui pointed with her little hand, Xu Anshun looked at it, and then saw a lady set up a stall, steaming a basket full of steamed buns.
"I... Eat this?" Xu An pointed to the bun and then to himself.
"Well, Childe will go there to eat, and Xiaocui will come to pay. Xiao Cui replied, and the little foot stepped away and disappeared into the lively restaurant.
Xu An was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, and always felt that something was wrong.
Goo Goo –
Xu An was hungry.
"Auntie, come a drawer of vegetable buns, ask for cabbage filling, two meat buns, and a bowl of water. A shirtless man wiped the sweat from his head with a sweat towel and said loudly.
"Okay. The eldest lady smiled slightly, quite charming.
"Big sister, one for each of all kinds of steamed buns and steamed buns, plus a bowl of sweet water and a pair of chopsticks, thank you. ”
Hearing such a special voice, the eldest lady and the eldest man couldn't help but be stunned, and followed the prestige, only to see a handsome boy sitting at the old table and chair, his long hair blowing in the wind, handsome and chic.
His smile was as gentle as jade, and his eyes seemed to be full of stars, and there was no end in sight.
"Good.... Good. After all, the eldest lady didn't say the word 'boom', and replied hesitantly, looking a little cramped, and turned around to get the buns.
Xu An smelled the smell of meat wafting out of the restaurant, his eyes were determined, and he only felt that the drama of life was nothing more than this.
Xiao Cui, let you abuse your son, you will regret it!Xu An said indignantly in his heart.
......
After three rounds of dinner, Xu An was a little drunk.
No, it's three drawers, and Xu An is a little supportive.
Dahan sweats a lot and drinks water because he is thirsty, but Xu An eats buns too fast, choks a few times, and all of them are dealt with in his stomach.
Xiao Cui appeared at the right time, holding two oil-paper bags in her hands, followed by three or two subordinates, pulling a bunch of goods, and came to Xu An.
"Auntie, check out. ”
"Eh, a bun is three cents, a total of ninety cents. ”
The eldest lady said with a smile, "The amount of food is really not small, and I ate three drawers of buns at once." ”
You must know that Xu An alone is almost half a day's income for her.
Xiao Cui smiled and took out the money bag, touched some broken silver and handed it over, "Childe, let's go." ”
Xu An remained motionless and looked at the eldest lady.
"Auntie, is it really only ninety wen?"
"If the son is too much, he can pay ten yuan less, if it is more..."The eldest lady was a little speechless, her calloused hands rubbed the silver, and she felt uneasy.
"Auntie, how can you sell it so cheaply!" Xu An almost shouted.
He thought that this steamed bun tasted good, the entrance was soft, the meat buns were also chewy, and there was hot soup in them, which must be expensive, but he didn't expect that the price of the buns on the market was no different.
It was unbearable for him!
The eldest lady didn't expect Xu An to care about this, and she didn't know what to say at the moment, so she walked to the stall, took the oil paper bag and rolled more than ten more buns, and handed it to Xu An.
"If Childe thinks it's delicious, just eat a few more, but this price is set like this from my grandfather's generation, and I won't change it. ”
Xu An didn't pick it up, a little depressed, Xiaocui stuffed some broken silver into the eldest mother's hand and took the bun.
"Childe, let's go. ”
Xiaocui thought that the son was confused eating steamed buns, so she hurriedly pulled him, smiled at the eldest mother, and left here.
Xu An kept up in a daze, and the prairie of his thoughts was barren.
Xiaocui went to the restaurant to eat meat and drink wine, I ate buns and drank water outside the restaurant, so desperate, I spent 90 yuan, I was a son in vain!
His face was sad, his heart was empty, and he had words of suffering, not a taste.
