Cheng Yun shouted to Ling Bao, who was fascinated.
After leaving Miaorentang, Lingbao asked curiously: "Brother, has the snake been sold? How much did it cost?"
Cheng Yun smiled and stretched out two fingers.
Lingbao was a little disappointed: "With two cents, we can't buy gloves or meat."
Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"It's not two cents, it's two hundred cents."
Ling Bao's eyes widened suddenly and he held his face in his hands: "Two hundred coins, that's a lot! We are rich!"
Cheng Yi said: "This is not rich. In the past, I didn't even have enough money for a meal."
Ling Bao was even more shocked. Two hundred cents was not even enough for a meal, but they could have a meal with just a few cents, and they could live a year with three or four taels of silver.
The king said: "Your second brother is nothing. There was a corrupt official in the previous dynasty, and one meal only cost several hundred taels."
At that time, it ate all the remaining swallow-fin abalone. It was so delicious.
Ling Bao opened her mouth wide, unable to imagine what kind of meal cost hundreds of taels of silver. She felt that she would never think of it in her life.
"Second brother, how much does a meal cost you?"
Cheng Yi said: "As many as seven or eight taels, and as few as two or three taels."
However, this situation is rare.
It’s not like we always go to a big restaurant to eat, and we take turns to treat guests, so we won’t catch a sheep and pluck it up.
Lingbao asked: "Are you eating bird's nest, fish and roasted leg of lamb?"
She still remembers the three dishes Cheng Yun ordered from Cheng Yi last time.
Cheng Yi smiled evilly: "Yes, it's the three things you haven't eaten before."
"Huh, big brother said he would buy me food in the future." Ling Bao was not fooled at all.
Of course, another reason is that she has never eaten it at all, so she doesn't know how delicious it is. Can you still expect her to be "jealous"?
Because the snake sale went surprisingly smoothly, they suddenly had a lot more time, and Cheng Yun planned to take a good tour of the county town.
Although Feng'an County is not wealthy, it is a place where they will live for many years in the future.
"Brother, let's go eat first, I'm too hungry." Cheng Yi said.
Lingbao looked at him with bright eyes, she was hungry too!
Cheng Yun smiled and said yes, and walked naturally to a restaurant. Before entering the door, he changed his mind.
"Brother, come in, why are you standing there in a daze?"
Cheng Yun said: "When I entered the city, I saw many food stalls and restaurants on the roadside. Let's go to those places."
Things in restaurants are always expensive.
Two hundred coins is not a lot of money, so you still have to save a little.
Cheng Yi was extremely disappointed and thought he would finally have a big meal.
I found a roadside noodle stall. A bowl of noodles only costs ten cents, and a spoon full of meat dumplings is delicious.
Cheng Yi was still disgusted at first, but he finished it after a few bites, and he was still unsatisfied.
The boss is conscientious, the food is high quality and the price is low. The bowl is bigger than Ling Bao's face. She has a small appetite and her belly bulged up after half the meal, making it round and round like a ball.
"All kings can eat better than you." Cheng Yi said, "If you eat so little, no wonder you are short."
The king himself ate a bowl of noodles and licked the bottom of the bowl clean. He could even have another bowl!
Lingbao burped, covered his mouth in embarrassment, and then said: "I am a child, and children are inherently short."
"Second brother, do you dislike me?"
Cheng Yi was stuck for a moment: "Disgusted."
Lingbao moved the bowl closer to him: "Then you can't eat the rest of me."
"Why should I eat what you left?" Cheng Yi rolled his eyes.
"Because, second brother, you haven't eaten enough yet," Ling Bao said.
She was clever and noticed that Cheng Yi did not show that he had eaten or drank enough, and even peeked at the boss below.
"I'm not full. Can't I buy a new bowl?"
"Yes, you can buy a new one!" Lingbao was stunned for a moment and then said, "But it costs money."
"Then I won't eat other people's leftovers either."
He has never eaten other people's leftovers in his life, it's not disgusting enough.
Lingbao was very embarrassed: "What should I do? It can't be wasted." She was very annoyed, "I should have brought a bowl out, so I can continue eating it in the evening!"
The calf was pulled, Ling Bao lowered his head, the king's sky-blue eyes were full of desire: If you can't eat, give it to me, I can finish it, meow!
"My King, do you want to eat? Don't you dislike me?"
King: "Of course I don't mind it."
Ling Baoke happily poured the noodles to the king, who buried his head in eating.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind." Lingbao hugged him and whispered, "Shall I lick your fur tonight?"
Cheng Yun coughed lightly: "I heard it."
Ling Bao smiled guiltily: "Hey, brother, you heard me wrong, I didn't want to lick the king's fur!"
Cheng Yun had a headache. He found out several times that Ling Bao wanted to lick the king's fur, but he didn't know why he was so persistent.
"If you dare to lick it, I will be angry." He threatened.
Lingbao: "Brother, don't be angry, I won't lick you anymore."
Cheng Yun rubbed her head: "Good boy."
After eating, the three brothers and sisters went shopping.
I bought some rice, noodles, vegetables and condiments, and two kilograms of meat. I forgot about the gloves first, but Cheng Yun also bought a pair of small shoes for Lingbao, with two small flowers embroidered on the uppers.
Just this pair of shoes cost twenty-five cents.
Ling Bao hugged her tightly in her arms and couldn't bear to let go. This was her first gift. It was so expensive!
"Your Majesty, look at it. Big brother bought it for me. Does it look good?"
The king nodded perfunctorily: "It looks good."
I've asked this question seventy or eighty times, but I still haven't asked enough.
"Are they the most beautiful shoes you've ever seen?"
"Yes, yes, she is the most beautiful in the world."
Lingbao laughed stupidly, suddenly hugged Cheng Yun, rubbed his hand with his cheek, and there seemed to be light in his eyes: "Lingbao likes his eldest brother the most."
"Eldest brother also likes Lingbao." Cheng Yun patted her head.
At the appointed time, they walked out of the city gate.
Suddenly I heard the clatter of horse hooves, approaching gradually.
The reddish-brown horse stepped into the city gate with a steady pace. Its fur was shiny and smooth, and it was worth a lot at first glance.
The young man on horseback is about seven or eight years old. He wears a small white jade crown, a pair of crimson cloud-patterned arrow sleeves, and an indigo unicorn jade palace sash tied around his waist. When he moves, the tassels are as light as willow branches.
swing.
The young man's eyebrows are like ink, his eyes are like bright stars, he is arrogant and noble beyond words.
Next to him was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, holding a crane cloak in his hand and trotting along. He said with a sad face: "My lord, can you put on the crane cloak? If you catch the wind and cold, it will be very difficult for the little one to die."
Give up the blame."
The young man took it impatiently: "I've been chatting all the way, but my mouth is still dry."
The boy smiled and said, "As long as you can listen to what I say, it's all worth it."
The boy put on his belt and turned to the side of the road, where he saw a girl with round eyes looking at him curiously.
Seeing him looking at her, Ling Bao blinked and immediately smiled the brightest and sweetest smile.
