Chapter 10 Coriander

Yan Xuehuai poured the leek flowers and fermented bean curd onto the hot tofu, poured the whole bowl of coriander into the prepared tofu, and then ate it in big mouthfuls.

After eating a bowl, there was still half a basket of tofu and there was no coriander.

Yan Xuehuai wanted to find the shop to ask for an extra bowl of coriander, but suddenly found that the person sitting opposite him was full of bowls of coriander in front of him and had never moved.

Yan Xuehuai took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Don't you eat coriander?"

The man still buried his head in his mouth, as if he didn't hear it.

Yan Xuehuai asked again with a thick face: "If you don't eat, why don't I help you eat it, so as not to waste it."

The person opposite finally raised his head and showed a young face, with beautiful eyebrows, bright eyes and very energetic.

Yan Xuehuai is only fourteen years old and has just recovered from a serious illness. Her face and skin is as pale as a bean sprout. She looks particularly small when wearing men's clothing, and looks only twelve or thirteen years old.

The man obviously regarded her as a greedy child, pushed the bowl of coriander in front of her, and then lowered his head and started eating again.

Yan Xuehuai was overjoyed and said thank you. Her hand had reached over. As before, she added leek flowers and fermented bean curd, scooped two tablespoons of tofu, and started eating with relish.

Wherever the man looked, there was a bowl that was empty in an instant.

He couldn't help but look up and saw the little child who had lost weight with his mouth wide open, and then put a large spoonful of coriander into his mouth.

The man's mouth twitched, with disgust on his face. Why do anyone in this world like to eat coriander?

The brother and brother on the table next door had already thrown off their chopsticks.

"I wonder where there are barbecue sells in Xinjing?"

"Hey, why don't our shop stop selling mountain goods and make barbecue instead?"

"The meat you roast is not delicious, it is not as good as Uncle Sheep's roast. The meat you roast is delicious. Unless you can ask Uncle Sheep to come to Xinjing, we might as well sell mountain goods."

"I can grill fish without barbecue. I can grill fish, and grilled fish is better than tofu."

"Then you have to think about whether we should sell mountain goods or grilled fish."

"Then let's grill fish, let's open a grilled fish shop. If no one comes to eat grilled fish, we will switch to selling mountain products."

"Why no one comes to eat it? There must be someone. Sister, look at the tofu in this restaurant. It is not as delicious as grilled fish, and there are people who eat it. When we sell grilled fish, the business will definitely be better than here."

As the two of them spoke, they got up and walked out. When the waiter saw it, he hurriedly chased after him: "Customer, you haven't paid yet."

The siblings seemed to have just remembered that they would have to pay for food. The two of them were not embarrassed at all. The sister took out a piece of silver and threw it to the waiter: "Yes, I have to pay for food. Take it, I don't have to look for it."

After Yan Xuehuai finished her last bite of coriander, she put a few copper coins on the table, got up and wanted to leave. When she saw that the person opposite was still eating, she picked up the noodle Nezha that she bought at the door of the inn and put it to the man.

"I'll give this to you, just treat it as cilantro money."

"By the way, this is Nezha."

......

Yan Qi picked up the face man, with bangs, horoscopes, dark circles, and a mouth full of teeth. Is this Nezha?

Yan Xuehuai did not follow the siblings, so she returned to Shan Bo’s stall and bought a few tea eggs and a pack of dried tofu.

The door of Huiji Jiangpu not far away was open. Wang walked out with a basin of water and sprinkled it at the door. He looked in a good mood and walked like he was in the wind.

"You're a sin. You're not afraid of retribution when you make money with someone else's shop."

While muttering, Shan Bo handed Yan Xuehuai the oil-paper bag containing tea eggs and dried tofu.

"No need to see it. This shop has been rented out. You were not here just now. The woman has already told others that the annual rent is 80 taels. Hey, 80 taels. This is the only one on Huichang Street, and other families have 70 taels."

Yan Xuehuai nodded: "Eighty taels a year, this is really a lot. You have to earn at least ten taels a month to make rent."

She picked up the greased paper bag, went to the old chicken on the street to buy a roast chicken, took it together, and walked towards the inn.

Just as I turned on the street in front of the inn, I saw two young men, one tall and one short, holding a piece of paper in their hands, pulling an old man to inquire: "Look carefully, have you ever seen someone in this portrait?"

The sound is soft and is the official language with a Jiangnan accent.

Yan Xuehuai felt that the two of them looked familiar at the beginning. When she heard clearly that they were looking for someone, she immediately remembered who they were.

This is the servant brought by the Yan family!

The Yan family originally brought three servants, but Guozi was arrested on the way, but these two followed the north all the way.

One is called Awang and the other is called Acai, both of whom have signed a death contract.

Yan Xuehuai hid behind a tree and saw the old man pointing not far away: "There is an inn over there, you can go there and inquire."

Awang and Acai thanked him and quickly walked towards the inn.

Yan Xuehuai came out from behind the tree and followed behind the two, watching the two men enter the inn one after another.

The shopkeeper of the inn is surnamed Hu, and the shopkeeper Hu has two carefully cared for mustaches.

At this time, Manager Hu was sitting behind the counter, trimming his beard in front of the small rake mirror.

Awang and Acai walked to the counter, and without saying a word, they put two portraits on the counter, just blocking the small rake mirror.

Manager Hu was caught off guard, and the scissors on his hand shook, and the sharpness of the beard on the left disappeared...

"What are you doing?" Manager Hu frowned and looked at the two servants in front of him.

A Cai smiled and pointed to the two portraits on the counter: "Shopkeeper, take a look. Are the people in this portrait living in the inn?"

Manager Hu glanced at him and saw two young women in the portrait.

Manager Hu was furious and pointed at A Cai's nose and shouted: "This is the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, you think we are a despicable place here. Just like you, take the portrait of a woman and ask around, you will see that you are not a good person. I heard that there are many bandits who have plundered good women in Xinjing. Xiao Wuzi, go and invite the city patrol soldiers of the Five City Division here!"

A Cai and A Wang were startled. They first arrived in Xinjing and were not familiar with the place. Not to mention the patrol soldiers of the Five City Division, they didn't even know the yamen runners of the Xinjing Prefecture.

The guy Xiaowuzi ran out and Awang hurriedly chased after him, pulling Xiaowuzi's arm and smiling: "Brother, don't leave, misunderstanding, this is all misunderstanding!"

A guest who was going downstairs heard the movement, stood on the stairs, pulled his neck and looked down, and asked loudly, "What's wrong? Are you catching the thief?"

Awang quickly waved his hand: "It's not a thief, we are not a thief, we are looking for people, we are really looking for people."

A Cai added: "It's about looking for his own family, his own family."

Manager Hu sneered: "Holding the portrait of the young woman one by one, is this something serious can do? I'm afraid that the kidnapper lost the kidnapper, so I'll chase him out and find him."

"Yes, right, in front of the tavern next to him yesterday, wasn't there an old woman who lost her granddaughter crying? Her granddaughter is fifteen, and the effort of buying a headband makes people kidnapped."

"Oh, there are chaos outside. The little girl in her teens still doesn't know where she sold her. I'm pitiful!"
