Chapter 39 Coincidental Encounter in Caishi Street
It's another boring weekend.
On Saturday morning, Xia Haoran went to the antique street for a walk as usual. Today he gained nothing, but he bought a few spiritual stones, which cost tens of thousands of yuan.
After eating, Xia Haoran felt idle for a while, so Haoran walked slowly towards the bookstore. He was also a student after all, so he went to the bookstore to read books, and bought a few more mock tests to practice. Learning this thing,
It is still emphasized that practice makes perfect. It is said that it is better to read ten thousand books than to answer ten thousand questions. This is what it means.
Passing by a vegetable market, suddenly, he saw a bunch of people gathered on the street in front of him. Xia Haoran was bored, and he would be a fool not to notice the excitement, so he walked over.
It turned out that a young man selling Babao Candy had a quarrel with a customer.
Haoran has seen snack foods such as Babaotang before. It is a candy cake made of walnuts, pine nuts, almonds, peanuts and other nuts mixed with white sugar. This stuff is very expensive, and the price is ridiculously expensive. It costs about
It costs one hundred yuan per catty. Often it costs dozens of yuan to cut into a small piece.
What surprised Xia Haoran was that the customer buying candy turned out to be Li Mengyao!
"I just asked you how you sold it, and you clearly said ten yuan!" Li Mengyao pouted and said, obviously looking very aggrieved.
"I said ten yuan is right, but I didn't say it was ten yuan a pound!" said the young man selling candy.
"You're obviously trying to trick me! Besides, it's too expensive!" Li Mengyao felt even more aggrieved.
"Girl, this is your fault. Whether it's expensive or not is one thing. You just wanted to buy it yourself. Did I force you with a knife?" the young man selling the candy snorted coldly.
"Well, then I won't buy it!" Li Mengyao said in a low voice.
"Don't buy it? If you want to buy it, you can buy it. If you don't want to buy it, you can't buy it. Do you think Caishikou is your home?" The young man selling candy immediately became upset when he heard Li Mengyao say he didn't want to buy it.
"That's right. The candies have been cut. If you don't buy them, who will they sell them to?" Next to them, there were also onlookers fanning the flames.
"Hurry up, come on, take out the eighty yuan!" said the young man selling candy.
"You... aren't you robbing money?" Li Mengyao argued angrily, biting her mouth and turning red.
"Don't talk nonsense. You asked me to cut the candy. How could I snatch it away? Little girl, please be careful what you say!" The young man selling candy quit.
When things got here, Xia Haoran roughly figured out what was going on. This guy was just using words to deceive some kind-hearted people, but when people say this, you really can't fault him.
"Stop saying anything. If you don't bring the money today, don't even think about leaving here!" The young man selling candy said arrogantly as he stuck the knife on the case.
The excitement was almost over, and Li Mengyao would probably cry if she looked at it again, so Xia Haoran walked forward, put his hand on the shoulder of the young man selling candy, and said, "Brother, what's going on?"
When Li Mengyao saw that it was Xia Haoran who came forward, she glanced at Haoran gratefully.
"It's none of your business, uh..." The young man selling candy was very impatient when he saw someone meddling in other people's business. He was about to curse, but suddenly a strong force came on his shoulders, and his whole body suddenly became alert and fierce.
The ground trembled for a while and immediately calmed down.
"Why do I have nothing to do with you? Brother, haven't you heard of the saying, 'Everyone in the world is in charge of the world's affairs'?" Xia Haoran said nonchalantly.
"Yes! Yes! This little brother is like this..." Feeling the heartbreaking pain and powerful force coming from his shoulder, the young man selling candy wiped his cold sweat and recounted the whole story.
In fact, Xia Haoran saw the scene just now and saw that what the young man selling candy said was basically true, so he let go of his hand.
"Oh, that's what happened!"
Xia Haoran touched his nose, pretended to think for a while and said: "Actually, both of you are responsible for this matter. One didn't explain the price clearly, and the other didn't ask the price clearly, so you should stop blaming each other.
Who is wrong? When doing business, you must be friendly and make money. Remember not to do this again next time. It is not easy when you are away from home. Come on, give me a small piece to try first. If the thing is good, the money will be
Let me step in for this beautiful girl!"
Under Xia Haoran's big stick and candied dates, the young man selling candy did not dare to quibble anymore and obeyed obediently. After Xia Haoran tasted it, it tasted really good, so he asked the guy to cut several more pieces and package them together.
Checked the bill.
When leaving, Xia Haoran patted the young man who was auctioning the candy on the shoulder again and said: "Brother, you are very lucky today! Do you know who this girl is? She is my girlfriend. I am in a good mood and will not look for you today.
Sorry, you have to be more serious about your business in the future. If you offend someone you can't afford to offend one day, with your small business, I probably won't even be able to compensate you if I sell you. Let's go!"
The young man selling candy couldn't help but tremble a few times!
Of course, the person who was shaking in the front was photographed by Xia Haoran, and the one who was frightened in the back. I was still thinking: Who is this guy? When that hand patted my shoulder, it felt like a big mountain was pressing down on my body. Although
The process was very short, but I actually felt the terrifying suffocation. It was so weird!
After reacting, the young man selling candy immediately came over and bowed to Li Mengyao. He kept saying that adults do not remember the faults of villains.
"Okay, I forgive you on her behalf. Go on with your business! We are leaving." Xia Haoran waved to the guy, stepped forward, took Li Mengyao's little hand, and walked out.
After Li Mengyao heard the word 'girlfriend' that Xia Haoran just said, she originally wanted to deny it, but when she thought that this was in public, Xia Haoran was standing up for herself, which was tantamount to helping herself, so she acquiesced.
.
However, her little face immediately became hot and flushed, and the little girl looked so embarrassed and bewildered that she didn't pay attention to what the young man selling candy said in front of her later.
Listen, let alone Xia Haoran taking the opportunity to hold his little hand.
It wasn't until the two of them left Caishi Street and walked a long way that Li Mengyao came back to her senses.
"Um, can you...can you let it go?"
"Ah? Oh!"
I finally had the opportunity to get close to the goddess of my dreams, and today I got one step closer and held the goddess's little hand. What a gratifying thing! At this time, Xia Haoran's mind was going on a fantasy journey to the west, dreaming about spring and autumn dreams.
Woolen cloth!
"Well, Miss Li, I'm so sorry. It was just a temporary measure. Please forgive me for any offense! I'll let it go now, I'll let it go now!" Xia Haoran said quickly.
Xia Haoran reluctantly let go of Li Mengyao's little hand. He knew that some things should not be done too hastily. It would be bad if he did too much to arouse the resentment of the other party for the glorious image he had finally built up. However, Xia Haoran now felt in his heart
But he was extremely happy. Now that first base has passed, can second and third base be far behind?
Thinking of this, Xia Haoran quickly handed over the sugar bag he was carrying in his other hand and said: "I didn't expect this Babao Candy to be quite delicious. You should try it too. By the way, Miss Li, what are you doing?"
Do you want to buy this kind of candy? Didn’t you read in the newspaper that nine out of ten street vendors are scammers?"
"My mother has always wanted to eat this candy, but was reluctant to buy it. Today I happened to pass by and saw it, so I wanted to buy some for her. I thought it was ten yuan a pound, but I didn't expect it was one or two." Li Mengyao grabbed the corner of her clothes, feeling a little embarrassed.
said.
"Oh, that's it." Xia Haoran nodded, put the sugar bag in Li Mengyao's hand, and then asked: "By the way, I heard that Auntie is not in good health, how is her condition now?"
"My mother, she's still like that..." At this point, Li Mengyao's eyes turned red and she tried not to shed tears.
When Xia Haoran saw this, he sighed in his heart, what a strong girl!
So he gently patted the girl on the shoulder and said softly: "Beautiful Li, don't be sad, everything will be fine." Xia Haoran originally wanted to tell the girl that she had medical skills and could heal her aunt.
body, but then I thought, now that the opportunity is not available, I might as well talk about it later.
After a pause, Xia Haoran asked: "Beautiful Li, are you busy today?"
"I came out to get some fresh air and happened to go to the bookstore." Li Mengyao said.
"Oh? Are you going to the bookstore too?" Xia Haoran asked, pretending to be surprised. In fact, he was not pretending, he was going to the bookstore to read today.
"Yes, are you going too?" Li Mengyao asked after seeing Xia Haoran's surprised look and the word "ye" in his words.
"Yes! I was originally planning to go to the bookstore. What a coincidence, then let's go together." Xia Haoran said happily.
"Okay." Seeing Xia Haoran say this, Li Mengyao couldn't refuse, so she nodded in agreement.
The two were walking side by side on the street and talking, just like a warm couple.
Although Xinhua Bookstore is not as large as Lingnan Bookstore, the variety and number of books in it are remarkable. It can be said that except for pirated books, all regular publications can be purchased here.
"What book do you want to buy?" Xia Haoran and Li Mengyao walked into the door of the bookstore together and asked.
"I want to buy some review materials." Li Mengyao said.
"Okay, let's go take a look together." Xia Haoran said.
In fact, Xia Haoran often visited this place some time ago. He had read or done many books and exercises. This time he came to see if there were any new exercises, and he happened to help Li Mengyao take a look.
