Daji led the carriage and walked in front, but the young man and the young man behind him did not move. They were looking up at the restaurant on the left together.
Man Bao couldn't help but sniff, his eyes sparkling: "It smells so good."
Bai Shanbao clicked on the plaque on the door and said: "Ganxiang Tower!"
Bai Erlang said: "We didn't go there last time. Sir, have you been there?"
"I've been there before," Mr. Zhuang withdrew his gaze and said, "But it's too expensive. Let's find another one."
The three young men touched their money bags at the same time. Mr. Zhuang also took a look at their money bags and said, "Save it, we will be in Zhoucheng for several months."
After that, the leader left. The three little ones reluctantly glanced at Ganxianglou again, and then hurriedly chased after them, "Sir, what do you want us to eat?"
A window on the second floor of Ganxiang Building opened. Li Erlang watched the four people walking away, and then withdrew his gaze.
The attendant on the side bowed and smiled: "I didn't expect to meet them again. Do you want to go and have a look, sir?"
Li Erlang shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have just arrived in Yizhou City. Let's take a walk around the city in the past two days."
Mr. Zhuang took them left and right and found a mutton soup restaurant. Mr. Zhuang said: "Bring a basket of naan bread, two bowls of mutton soup, and three bowls of mutton soup."
Daji parked the carriage with a headache and walked in. The waiter brought the things up.
It's said to be soup, but most of the bowl is meat or haggis, with some radish thrown in for seasoning.
Each bowl was as big as Man Bao's head and it was just a small bowl. The four of them worked together, pushing some of the mutton over and some of the haggis, and most of it was piled in Daji's bowl.
Man Baoda: "When I get older, I can eat as much."
Bai Shanbao: "Then how fat do you have to be?"
"Da Ji also eats so much, so he is not fat." Man Bao is also confident that he will not get fat if he eats so much.
Mr. Zhuang coughed lightly and said, "You can't speak after eating."
The three of them immediately lowered their heads to eat honestly. Daji liked to take a bite of the pancake and eat a piece of meat, but Manbao, the three little ones, liked to tear off a piece of the naan pancake and throw it into a bowl, waiting for it to absorb the soup before eating it.
The mutton soup here is very delicious, and the naan bread is also very strong. Manbao was very satisfied with the meal. Thinking of his fourth brother who was still at home, he thoughtfully ordered another portion.
Thinking that if he didn't eat it, they could use it as a midnight snack.
Bai Erlang thought this was a good idea and said to Man Bao, "I think your fourth brother must have eaten."
Bai Shanbao said: "Please order an extra portion, just in case he doesn't eat it. And look at Daji, they all have a big appetite. Order an extra portion. If they can't finish it, we can use it as a midnight snack."
Mr. Zhuang said of them, “I’m just thinking about having a late night snack after I’ve had enough dinner. Don’t accumulate food at night.”
"Sir, we would like to light a lamp and read a book at night."
"It doesn't have to be like this," Mr. Zhuang said, "There are still twenty-five days before the government examination."
"No, we found twelve volumes of "Shui Jing Zhu" in the bookstore today," Bai Shanbao said, "Manbao and I want to sort them out."
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but sit up straight and asked in surprise, "Shui Jing Zhu"?
"yes."
Mr. Zhuang stood up immediately and said, "Let's go back and have a look. Are you sure it's "Shui Jing Zhu"?"
Daji, who hadn't finished eating yet, could only speed up and drank all the soup in the bowl before chasing them.
Now Mr. Zhuang no longer cares whether there is room in the car or not, and the three little ones have to get in even if they are squatting on the car's shaft.
When everyone returned to the small courtyard, the courtyard door opened, and Zhou Lang, who was sitting in the darkness, raised his head and looked at them aggrievedly.
Bai Shanbao, who accidentally bumped into him, was startled, jumped up with a scream, and then Bai Erlang collapsed to the ground with a cry of "Ah" in fright.
Man Bao, who was supporting his husband, rushed up immediately, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Zhou Lang hugged the hit leg in the shadow and shouted aggrievedly: "I haven't screamed yet, what are you calling me?"
Man Bao rushed up, looked at his fourth brother, then at Bai Shanbao who was jumping far away and Bai Erlang who was sitting on the ground shaking, and asked: "Fourth brother, why don't you light the lamp?"
"Lamp oil is so expensive, and I am alone at home and have nothing to do, so why should I light a lamp?" Zhou Lang felt extremely aggrieved, "Why are you all going there? Didn't you say you were only going for half a day? You didn't come back when I came back next time.
I cleaned everything inside and out and you didn't come back. I even went out to look around, but I didn't even see anyone. I thought you were gone."
"We went to the bookstore," Man Bao said a little embarrassed, "Fourth brother, have you had dinner?"
"No, you are all gone, how can I have time for dinner?"
Bai Shanbao stroked his chest and stepped forward to save face for himself, "We bought you dinner and came back. In fact, I was startled just now because I kicked something..."
"Okay, please light up the lamps quickly." Mr. Zhuang had already picked up a book basket from the car and waved his hand: "Man Bao, bring your two junior brothers to meet me in the study."
Zhou Lang rubbed his legs and went to light the lamp first, while Daji helped Mr. Zhuang carry the remaining two heavy book baskets to the study.
Under the light, Zhou Lang saw that Bai Erlang's face was still a little white, so he asked worriedly: "Are you scared?"
Bai Erlang said bravely: "I, I didn't, I was knocked to the ground by Bai Shan."
Bai Shanbao refused to admit it, "I didn't hit you. I obviously jumped to the other side."
Zhou Lang touched his hand and said in a deep voice: "No, you are still young, so you can't scare me. Just wait, I will call your soul. Didn't you guys come back with dinner? Where's the rice?"
"
Man Bao: "There is no rice, only naan bread."
Zhou Lang said: "Naan bread is fine too, I'll make do with it."
So Zhou Lang took out the naan bread and soup from the food box, took a small bowl each to fill some, then walked to the door and bowed under the gaze of five people, and took out three sticks of incense from somewhere.
After inserting it on the ground, he muttered, "Bai Cheng is back, Bai Cheng is back obediently..."
This is not the first time Bai Erlang has seen this kind of thing. If the children in the village are sick or cry incessantly, adults often do this. He has watched it several times.
But this was his first time experiencing such a thing.
Because if he was frightened, his grandmother, his father, and his mother would immediately give him a bowl of bitter calming soup.
So Zhoulang walked up to him and called him "Baicheng" loudly, and he looked at him blankly.
Zhou Lang became even more worried, "This child won't be frightened silly, right? Bai Cheng!"
Bai Erlang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Here we are, stop shouting, you were so frightened that you were stunned."
Seeing this, Zhou Lang smiled contentedly, "Okay, everything will be fine once the soul is called back. I'm going to eat."
Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang expressed doubts, "Is this enough?"
Man Bao, who has seen it many times and even been called many times himself, nodded seriously, "Yes, that's fine."
Bai Shanbao expressed doubts, "Is this useful?"
Man Bao said from personal experience: "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
Mr. Zhuang stroked his forehead, knocked on the desk and said, "Okay, let's not talk about ghosts and gods, and come here quickly."
