Five crispy fried cypress sticks, and five bowls of cooled soy milk with icing sugar.
Three cages of steaming steamed pork steamed buns with thin skin, and five bowls of glutinous rice siomai with oily tops.
There was a rectangular table by the window, and there were five people sitting at the table... No, it was four people and a fat bird lying on the table.
It was early in the morning. Several people staying at the Junle Inn woke up early. After washing up in their respective rooms, they went out to the street together.
In the evening, this restaurant called Xi Lou is packed with guests on both the upper and lower floors, making it very lively.
In the morning, this restaurant only opens on the first floor, selling breakfast.
A few people found a seat by the window on the first floor and sat down, then waited for the food to be served one after another.
Holding one end of the fried cypress with oil paper in his hand, the scholar couldn't wait to dip it into the soy milk in front of him, took a bite, and showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
Then the scholar seemed to have thought of something, holding the fried cypress in his mouth and reaching into his arms, "I have something to show you..."
"Eat quickly, Captain Yan will come to pick you up soon." After sending Yan Xiaoliu away last night, Mr. Wei... was really drunk. If you look carefully, his temples are still twitching.
Jumping, at this time he pressed his head with one hand, picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth with the other hand, interrupted the scholar and said.
"Pick us up? Me and Qiu Equinox?" The scholar looked at Mr. Wei sitting across from him in surprise, and pointed at Han Qiu Equinox and himself with the finger holding the fried dough stick.
"Oh..." The scholar lowered his head a little depressed, sipping the soy milk in front of him and getting a snack from time to time.
Han Qiufen ate very quickly. He quickly finished the fried cypress and soy milk in his hand, then stood up and walked towards the gate.
As if he didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, Wang Huo Chong took two sips of soy milk and didn't eat the food on the table. He just took out his cigarette rod from his waist and put it in the cigarette bag.
I stuffed it with tobacco leaves and started smoking.
Chirp! Chirp!
The fat pigeon was eating the fried cypress in front of him. He rolled his little eyes and saw the movements of the king fire insect. He moved his fat body and shouted in a chirping voice.
"They all look like nidi." He scratched the little fat bird's head with his fingers, and Wang Huochong cooed.
.......
The sun has risen, the coolness and comfort slowly disappeared from the earth, and the dullness and heat returned to Shangqiu City again.
Han Qiufen stretched and walked outside the restaurant. He had already changed out of the clothes he had to change into yesterday, and today he was wearing a black robe.
Under the stone steps outside the door, the number of pedestrians has slowly increased.
Leaning against the wooden pillar of the restaurant behind him, Qiu Equinox held his hands and thought about a strange thing he encountered last night.
last night......
A breath that reappeared three times woke Han Qiu Equinox from the door.
The breath was erratic at the beginning, then mysterious, and finally released after a sharp contraction, it felt like a heavy feeling of power.
but,
The aura suddenly disappeared before it was completely released, and I couldn't go out to check.
But that feeling...
...
The sound of jingling bells appeared on the stone road leading to Junle Inn.
Her ears twitched slightly, and Qiu Equinox looked toward the street entrance.
Yan Xiaoliu rode a brown donkey, staggering towards this direction. He was holding another donkey in his hand. The sound just now came from the bell under the donkey's neck.
"Oh! Here we come!" Mr. Wei said loudly to Yan Xiaoliu on the donkey while wiping his mouth with silk cloth.
After smacking his lips and turning his face, Mr. Wei quietly asked the Equinox next to him, "Are you full?"
Turning over and jumping off the donkey, Yan Xiaoliu was wearing a purple headcatcher's official uniform today. He patted the hem of his robe and walked to the bottom of the steps with his official knife in hand.
The scholar behind him who was picking his teeth with a toothpick also came out, hiccupping from time to time, and walked to Mr. Wei's side and stopped.
"Okay, let's go then. You sit in the front and I sit in the back."
"Really... I don't know what it would be like to bring an extra donkey."
The scholar lazily greeted Mr. Wei, greeted Han Qiufen, muttered, and walked straight towards the other donkey brought by Yan Xiaoliu.
Han Qiufen nodded, looked back at Mr. Wei, and walked quickly towards the donkey.
One person pulls the rope to control the unreliable donkey, while the other person jumps up and down, trying to find a way to get on the donkey's back.
Yan Xiaoliu walked up the steps step by step, came to Mr. Wei, and watched the performance of the two people with him.
"Equinox! If you hold its head, it won't move..."
Turning his face slightly, Yan Xiaoliu said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Do you think they are really useful?"
Mr. Wei didn't move his head, looked at the two of them, and said in a calm tone, "Do you have any other choice?"
Yan Xiaoliu smiled and said, "There is one more."
Glancing at Capt. Yan suspiciously, Mr. Wei found that the man's smiling eyes were staring at him.
Turning back and sighing, Mr. Wei quickly walked down the steps.
"On the Autumnal Equinox, hold the donkey in check,
