"Candy man, good-looking, fun and delicious candy man."
"Hot buns, meat buns, delicious and hot buns."
"Come and play, uncle, uncle, come in and play!"
As soon as we entered the town, there were many hawking sounds.
Obviously, this market town is also quite prosperous.
However, it can also be seen that it is still not as prosperous as Renjia Town, but it is not an attempt to make more concessions.
Wang Xiaohei was attracted by the fragrance and poked his head out of his collar to look around.
After walking for a while, we came to the door of a restaurant.
Before I could even enter, the waiter came up to greet the customer.
“Guest, it’s better to stay in a hotel to eat.”
"Eat."
Half an hour later, four dishes were placed on the table by the window.
A braised pork knuckle, a roast goose, a stewed chicken, and a braised beef.
Taoist priest Simu took a plate and put on it a pig's knuckle, a goose leg, a chicken leg, and half a pound of soy sauce beef.
Then, he placed the plate on the ground, then took another rice bowl, filled it with half a bowl of rice, filled it with chicken soup, and placed it next to the plate.
"Xiao Hei, eat more and follow me from now on. I will definitely make you enjoy spicy food."
Wang Xiaohei rolled his eyes and said.
"Woof woof woof!" Wang Xiaohei was so happy when he saw so many delicious foods. He quickly wagged his tail to show that he was very happy.
Then, he started eating with a groan.
As soon as he entered his mouth, Wang Xiaohei felt that his tongue was about to melt.
On the day when Ren Tingting was cooking, she tasted some good food. What did she eat a few days ago, white rice and white rice porridge.
The mouth almost looks like a bird.
Nowadays, it is so comfortable to eat so many delicious foods.
It's already past two o'clock, close to three o'clock, and it's not lunch time.
Therefore, there is only the table of Taoist priest Shimu in the restaurant.
After the waiter finished serving the food, he sat on the table next door and looked eagerly at the food on the table.
My throat is still swallowing saliva from time to time.
Obviously, the waiter is also greedy for this table of dishes.
Originally, when I saw the guests loading the dishes, I thought they were eating by themselves.
Who would have imagined that he would put it directly on the ground and feed it to the dog?
When the customer put down the chicken soup rice, the waiter realized what he was doing.
"Ah, guest, how could you...how could you give such a good thing to a beast?" The waiter was shocked when he saw it.
He wished he could just take the food away.
There is so much delicious food, it’s so wasteful and wasteful.
You know, he hasn't eaten these good things in almost half a year.
There is no other way. Nowadays, the war is in chaos, and the shopkeeper spends his days digging and searching.
Even if it is leftover food, it must be tasted by the shopkeeper first.
When we get to him, there will be no meat left.
"I do, what's wrong?" I looked at the waiter and said.
It was at this time that the shopkeeper, who had been settling accounts, came forward.
"Sir, that's what you say, but it's not the truth."
"My plate and bowl are for people to eat. How can I serve the food if you feed it to the dog?" the shopkeeper said.
"I bought it." Taoist priest Simu glanced at the shopkeeper and said.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, add a plate, a bowl, Chenghui, and eight oceans to the meal." The shopkeeper smiled and stretched out eight fingers (both hands).
It is now the eighth year of the Republic of China, that is, 1919.
A piece of ocean is just one dollar, and below it is a silver dollar with a denomination of fifty cents, and below that is a silver dollar with a denomination of ten cents.
Finally, it’s a penny of copper.
Current prices.
Rice costs about 3 cents per catty, and millet costs about 1 cent per catty.
Beef costs one dime to a pound, mutton costs one quarter to a pound, pork costs one dime to a pound, and sugar costs one dime to a pound.
Cotton cloth costs about 1 jiao and 2 cents per square foot, and vegetables range from a few cents.
However, due to warlord separatism, food prices have skyrocketed and remain high, but meat has not increased much.
The waiter only gets a salary of one yuan per month. Of course, some bosses will provide food and accommodation.
There are also some unscrupulous bosses who deduct food and accommodation from their wages.
The food for the table, including these two bowls, would be worth two or three oceans at most.
However, the shopkeeper quoted eight oceans.
The four-eyed Taoist priest raised his brows, looked at the shopkeeper up and down, and then without any rebuttal, he just threw the eight oceans over.
"Thank you, sir. Please eat slowly, as long as you have enough rice." The shopkeeper took Dayang, with a smile on his face.
Just when the shopkeeper turned around to leave, Taoist Master Simu said: "Shopkeeper, I'm wondering if you have encountered anything dirty recently."
The shopkeeper was a little panicked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down.
He turned around and said with a smile: "Sir, what unclean things are there? I do good deeds every day, how could I encounter these things?"
"Oh, really? Then I must have read it wrong." After speaking, Taoist priest Shimu ignored the shopkeeper and started enjoying the food.
Half an hour later.
Taoist Priest Simu and Wang Xiaohei were both full and ready to leave.
"Welcome to visit you next time!" the shopkeeper said with a smile at the counter.
Taoist Priest Four Eyes walked to the door, suddenly turned around and said, "I must have read it correctly. I am currently staying at the inn five miles south of the town."
"I will leave at twelve o'clock tonight. If you want to solve the problem, come to me before twelve o'clock. This amulet can ensure that you get to the inn safely."
After finishing speaking, Taoist Priest Four Eyes threw an amulet folded into a triangle, then turned and left.
The shopkeeper took the amulet, his eyes kept flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
……
After leaving the restaurant, Taoist priest Simu looked around and bought a lot of meat buns, meat pies, and some dry food.
It took a long time to arrive at a home where a funeral was being held.
As soon as Taoist Master Simu arrived, he was welcomed in.
We chatted for a long time, talking about the customer’s destination, contact person, price, etc.
It was not until night, when it was completely dark, that Taoist Master Simu took Wang Xiaohei away.
However, when he left, he was followed by a man covered in black cloth.
Obviously, this is the customer this time.
By the time the two returned to the cadaver inn, the cadaver who stayed last night had also left.
Taoist priest Simu saw that it was still early, so he went to the guest room and prepared to sleep until twelve o'clock.
However, Lao Yapo appeared in front of me at some point.
"Do you want to stay one more night? Chenghui is worth a fortune." The old lady said leisurely.
"If you don't stay, leave before twelve o'clock." Simu said.
Lao Yapo looked around vaguely, sighed, and left.
From the looks of it, it seems that he wants Simu to stay for a few more days so that he can make more money.
