Suzhou is a big city in the Central Plains. It not only has an important terrain, but also has beautiful scenery. It is said that "there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below". This is the paradise on earth!
The fox demon once brought Su Mei to Suzhou City. She had just come out of the mountain that time. She had been practicing in a deserted place. In terms of knowledge, she was not even as good as a waiter in a small place. (Li Xiaoyao: She was shot even while lying down...
…)
Therefore, the lively and prosperous city of Suzhou immediately shocked the fox demon. It was also during that trip that the fox demon began to kidnap young girls from all over for pleasure, laying the foundation for future disasters.
Naturally, Su Mei didn't think so much in her little mind at this time. She was looking east and west, and was dazzled by the various novelties sold by the shops and stalls on both sides of the road!
"Uncle... give me a bunch of... this... call it candied haws on a stick! Woohoo... it's so delicious!"
Gao Xu walked next to Su Mei, watching her hands full of delicacies she bought along the way. Her little mouth kept moving, and she also went to the place selling candied haws, shouting inarticulately, and ate from the bowl in a typical manner.
Looking at the greedy look in the pot, I couldn't help but shook my head in amusement, this child is really hungry!
"Brother, please go slowly. I've made you miss several stalls... By the way, can you give me some more round things? I've used up the ones just now, hehe!" Su Mei wiped out.
She wiped her mouth with the newly acquired candied haws. Just as she was about to rush to the next target, she found that the money Gao Xu had given her was gone again, and she smiled flatteringly.
"No, you use it so fast. Those are the expenses of an ordinary person for half a month!" Gao Xu stared at Su Mei dumbfounded, and then his eyes moved to her flat belly. You can't tell a person's face, there are so many things.
Have you been sent into a bottomless pit? It’s too scary!
"Opportunities are rare, big brother, don't be so stingy! Okay!" Su Mei seemed a little embarrassed, lowering her head, touching two slender green little fingers, and murmured, "Hurry up.
, the glutinous rice cakes sold by that old man are so fragrant, they must be delicious, they will be sold out if we don’t go there!”
"Okay, okay, take it!" Gao Xu saw that Su Mei had already come up to him and pulled his sleeve. The next step must have started to shake. He touched his forehead and reluctantly handed over a money bag.
Speaking of which, his money did not fall from the sky, but was contributed by bandits in Guiyin Mountain.
Those thieves who took over the mountain as kings had nothing but a lot of money. The treasure boxes dropped by Tai Zhuonan's group of Miao people were all for points, while the bandits were for free money.
These coins are the transaction currency in the world of Sword and Fairy. They can be spent in weapon shops, prop shops, jewelry shops and other places in the plot world. However, the purchased items can only be used in this world and cannot be taken out.
The amount of money was not large, and Gao Xu only had a few hours to stay, so he spent it all on Su Mei. It was a good choice to feed this little fox who had just been separated from his parents.
It's just that this little fox has a big appetite, and she spent hundreds of pennies in just one hour. You know, the ones she picked were all small stalls on the roadside. If it had been replaced by a large-scale restaurant, I'm afraid it would have been long ago.
Used up.
Fortunately, these costs are not without rewards, and the loyalty continues to increase with the rise and fall of Su Mei's belly.
When Su Mei touched her belly and exclaimed that she was very good, and Gao Xu returned to his previous state of poverty, loyalty had been fixed at 34 points. Although there was still a long way to go before 50 points, and the following 16 points increased the difficulty.
It will be bigger, but it still looks much more comfortable than the previous 0 point.
Just when Su Mei fulfilled her wish and was about to go to the Baiyi Troupe to watch the sideshows that passers-by said, the two of them passed by a restaurant, and suddenly there was a loud noise inside.
Gao Xu stopped and saw a huge plaque hanging on the tall door of this restaurant, with the four characters "Linxiang Restaurant" inscribed with dragons and phoenixes on it.
"It's so beautiful inside, the food must be delicious!" Su Mei poked her little head around and found that the interior decoration was also extremely luxurious, with green tiles and flying tiles, and every brick was unique, so she drooled in anticipation.
.
"Are you not full yet?" Gao Xu's face turned dark, but he was immediately attracted by the faint noise coming from inside. He listened for a moment, met Su Mei's expectant eyes, and smiled, "Maybe we can really do something.
Have a great meal inside, come with me!”
"Two guests, welcome, please come with me!" While the two were chatting, the waiter had already greeted them. Hou was on the side. Seeing Gao Xu's move, he led him and Su Mei, who was still looking around, towards the building.
After entering the restaurant, the faint sounds of yelling, cursing, and crying gradually became clearer. The waiter's face froze. He was about to say something to distract Gao Xu when he saw a short and thin figure suddenly burst in from behind the curtain next to the cabinet.
He walked out and ran straight to the door of the restaurant, but was followed closely by a burly man who kicked him to the ground.
"You're a very fast runner, and you came out to disturb the guests. It seems I won't spare you today!" The man's angry eyebrows were raised, and his face was full of hostility. He kicked the child who was in rags and was in a very embarrassed state and kicked the ground fiercely, and whispered.
Drinking and cursing.
When he was dragging the child by the collar and preparing to go out to teach him a lesson, a short figure stopped in front of him. It was Su Meilu who saw the injustice, glared at the man, and shouted: "Why are you beating someone? It's so cruel."
Got it!"
The big man saw that Su Mei was also a child, so it was hard to get angry. He explained to Gao Xu who came forward: "Sir, you don't understand the situation. This kid often comes here to beg for food recently. Our shopkeeper pays attention to being friendly and making money. More
The last time I gave this kid free food and drink, he really thought our Linxiang Restaurant was easy to bully, and he dared to steal it today! If we don't teach him a lesson, it won't be over forever!"
People who open restaurants usually pay attention to being friendly and making money, but this is not the case when it comes to treating a child. This big man said it confidently and without any ambiguity. It seemed to be the truth without a doubt.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so hungry and I really can't bear it anymore..." The child lay on the ground and kowtowed to the big man to apologize.
Gao Xu showed sympathy and sighed: "The child is young and ignorant, so you don't have to be like this. How about this, tell me how much food he has eaten in your store?"
Su Mei stepped forward to help the child up and wiped the dirt from his face without showing any disdain.
Seeing Gao Xu's dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing, the man thought that the nobleman was kind-hearted and wanted to pay the bill for the child. Everyone was very happy, so he said cheerfully: "Your Majesty is so kind and compassionate. This child is blessed. The total is five thousand Wen coins, which is five pieces of silver."
two!"
"Five taels?!" Gao Xu's eyes turned cold, and he said without any emotion in his words, "You have to think clearly, I am not being taken advantage of, even if a lion opens his mouth, he should keep his eyes open!"
Su Mei on the side also raised her head and stared at the big man angrily. She had just spent a lot of money and ate so many delicious food. She only spent a few hundred pennies, less than one tael of silver. This was already a few dollars for an ordinary family.
That’s enough for a month’s worth of living expenses! But this kid can eat as much as he wants, no matter how expensive the food in the restaurant is!
"Your Majesty, you are wronged! Five taels of silver is just a small amount, and I definitely didn't mean to deceive you!" The big man looked bitter, waved his hands repeatedly, and hurriedly explained, "It's not that I am a big talker, but that this kid's appetite is really amazing.
His stomach is like a bottomless pit. If he hadn't discovered it in time, he would have wiped out the whole kitchen!"
"As expected!" Gao Xu was waiting for the big man to say this. When he heard this, he looked thoughtful and said slowly, "It seems that there is something fishy about this child. It's not as simple as it seems. You are also unlucky... It's a pity..."
Ah, a good restaurant..."
The last sentence was inaudible, but it happened to be picked up by the waiter waiting at the side.
