Chapter 368
Meeting an old friend
As he said that, he put away the few cents on the table and quickly went to tidy up the things on the stove. There were still two handfuls of uncooked noodles in the plate. He shook his head slightly.
Although the weather is getting colder, it is already this time and it is probably the rest. It will be ruined by tomorrow.
I couldn't help feeling a little sad, but my hands did not slow down. After all, a few sparse raindrops fell from time to time, and the old man looked at the two diners worriedly.
The two of them didn't say anything, and they were holding the noodle bowl and eating it with their hearts. At this moment, the two of them came over, looking unshaven, as if they were very tired. The old man in the noodle stall quickly smiled and greeted him.
"Liu Zhitong and Xue Tong are here. This is a coincidence for you. There are only two portions of noodles left. Or is it the usual rule to add a plate of sauce meat to you two?"
This sentence made the young and old eaters follow the movements, and then lowered their heads and continued to eat noodles without any extra movements.
Xue Ping had already walked closer and threw the horizontal sword on the table, wiping the sweat on his face.
"If you have anything, please bring us what you want. I will also have two more dishes of pickled vegetables. I am so hungry that I was caught by Liu Zhitong before dawn. Now I have only eaten my first meal today."
When the old man from the noodle stall heard this, he quickly threw the noodles into the pot, then went forward, wiped the table and chairs, brewed a pot of tea for the two of them, and then brought four plates of pickles and a plate of steamed buns. His face was filled with concern and gratitude. This expression was not pretended.
"You two should drink tea quickly to moisten your throat. This noodles will be ready soon. The steamed buns are made of plum vegetables. My old woman brought them with me. If you don't eat them, you two shouldn't bother with me, hurry up and eat a few bites first."
Xue Ping grinned, rubbed his hand under his armpits, grabbed the steamed bun and broke it apart. Sure enough, it was filled with plum vegetables, and he had already started to secrete saliva from the rich smell.
"I didn't expect that Dad Dong also learned to make these steamed buns with stuffed buns. In fact, you can set up two more tables and hire a guy to make steamed buns with stuffed buns at the gate of Dongcheng. Look at Liu Ah everyone, isn't this business a booming?"
Mr. Dong looked embarrassed, and the chopsticks kept flying in the pot.
"Save money, drag your clothes. Since the governor Zhou came to Luzhou, merchants from all over the country were about to flatten the gate of Luzhou City, and our business was also good. I was afraid that what I made was not delicious enough, so I still wanted to try more.
Furthermore, Liu Ada has made steamed buns in Hejiang for more than half a year. His skills are really good, and he also knows that the taste is authentic."
Xue Ping shook his head and stuffed a steamed bun to Liu Yunshan opposite him, and his mouth was full of food and he didn't delay his speech.
"Liu Ada's vegetarian steamed buns are well made. You can make something else. I heard from the governor that this stuffing can be made of glutinous rice, red bean paste, jujube paste, small tofu, cabbage, mushrooms, and even various meat stuffings are suitable. The key is to look at the taste you make. It is delicious, so you will not have to worry about selling it, right?"
Dad Dong smiled. At this time, the noodles had been cooked and delivered to the two of them. Then he put a large plate of sauce meat, which could not be placed on the plate with a lot of meat.
When Liu Yunshan saw it, he quickly reached out to stop him.
"Dad Dong, you can't always let us take advantage of this. There is too much sauce meat, so you will lose money like this. You can't make money in a day."
As he said that, he took out another handful of copper coins from his arms, got up and stuffed the copper coins directly into the pocket of Mr. Dong's apron. Mr. Dong wanted to refuse, but Liu Yunshan was already stern.
"In Luzhou City, we can't take advantage of the people. This is the rule I set. Could it be that Dad Dong wants to look at me and punish himself?"
Dad Dong waved his hand quickly and bowed to Liu Yunshan, his eyes all red.
"Liu Zhi and you sit down, hurry up and eat. They are all the old guys talking nonsense, delaying your meals. We from Luzhou are all relying on governor Zhou and you and you to bring them to eat and wear warm clothes."
Liu Yunshan nodded, and said nothing else. He picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, then started eating noodles.
The two of them were extremely fast, and the wind blew away all the things on the table, wiped their mouths and stood up.
"Thank you for your hard work, please go back early after selling it. Although the security in Luzhou City is good, it is not easy to see on the road after it is finished."
After saying that, the two walked towards the government office. The young man who was eating noodles put down his chopsticks and was about to get up, but was stepped on by the white-haired old man. He seemed to hear the sound. Dad Dong turned his head and saw that the bowl in front of them was empty. He walked to him with a smile.
"Noodle soup doesn't charge you, do you want to add two bowls?"
The old man with white hair shook his head.
"Thank you, no need."
After saying that, he pulled the young man up and the two walked in the opposite direction.
Dad Dong looked at the direction, looked puzzled, and couldn't help shouting:
"Two guests, I can't go out of the city now. If you want to stay, you need to go to the west of the city. The inns there are cheaper."
The old man with white hair paused, and Dad Dong had already quickly collected the stall. The old man with white hair pulled the young man to change direction and walked towards the streets west of the city. He looked in the dark, Dad Dong walked away with a load on his back and hummed the song.
Seeing that no one was staring, the white-haired old man poked the young man's shoulders and neck a few times. In an instant, the man seemed to be deflated and squatted directly on the ground.
The white-haired old man looked fierce and said in a low voice:
"You are too angry, but fortunately they are all ordinary people. If they were martial artists, they might have been exposed at this time."
The young man stood up, his face turned pale, and he said with a trembling trembling:
"What the real person said is that I was reckless, but where are we going at this moment? The Luzhou City looks prosperous on the surface, but in fact, the guards are like iron buckets, and there are bad patrolers and coffin carryrs everywhere, which are easy to be discovered!"
The white-haired old man tidied up his robe and identified the direction slightly.
"We are going to meet an old friend. I can sense that she is in this Luzhou City. But if you put away your anger, otherwise I will pull out your soul. How can such a reckless thing be so big?"
The man was about to kneel down and was stopped by the old man with white hair.
"Put on the human skin mask and see the person later is a powerful person, so as not to avoid being careful in Luzhou City who has met Li Jue."
The young man nodded and took out a human skin mask from his arms. This was not something to be disguised. You can find out by carefully distinguishing it. This is a human skin, but it was treated with the inner layer, with wet glue.
After a few twists and turns, the young man wore a human skin mask, and his face changed drastically at this time. He was already a middle-aged man with triangular eyes and garlic head nose.
The old man with white hair took out a talisman the size of a finger, put it in his palm and muttered it. The talisman floated directly, and instantly became a firefly and flew forward.
"Come on, and later you get there, wait below, remember I won't tell you, don't move."
After saying that, the two of them disappeared on the streets covered with nightfall, following the fireflies.
Just when they left, A Zheng landed in the corner where they had stayed, and sniffed hard. A Zheng narrowed her eyes and looked alert.
