When she arrived, she found that the building was empty.
Xia Ji nodded.
“Do you know how to cook?” Lu Miaomiao asked.
Xia Ji nodded again.
‘ Stop cooking, ” Lu Miaomiao said. ” I’ll treat you to a good meal. It’ll be good for the Lu family to see us together. We’ll make a marriage alliance for them to
See.
An hour later.
The two of them appeared in Juye City.
Lu Miaomiao’s mischievous eyes darted around as she held Xia Ji’s left arm with her right hand and walked on the street.
A restaurant appeared in front of them. The restaurant was seven stories high and lanterns hung high. Guests came and went in an endless stream. The plaque in the middle had the words “Tianzhen Market” written on it.
“Is this the place?” Xia Ji asked.
“No yes.”
Lu Miaomiao hurriedly pulled Xia Ji and ran forward.
“I heard that the dishes in this restaurant are pretty good,” said Xia Ji.
“Liar!” It was not delicious! Quick, quick, quick. Hurry up and go over. I can’t stand this vulgar smell of oil and smoke.”
“You don’t have money, do you?” Xia Ji’s lips twitched.
“How how could it be!” Lu Miaomiao hurriedly said, “Haven’t you heard of this saying? The wonders of the world, the strange and unusual views, often lie in the danger and distance;And the delicacies and rare dishes in the market are often in the remote areas.”
“I didn’t hear the last part,” Xia Ji shook his head honestly.
Lu Miaomiao revealed a disdainful expression and let out a “Eh
“Uncle, you’re a scholar. You’ve never heard of this before. Hmph.”
Xia Ji couldn’t help but laugh. He could clearly feel that even though the girl beside him heard his laughter, her face didn’t turn red or her heart jump. The curve on his lips couldn’t help but increase.
The emptiness in his heart from before had actually been eliminated.
“Last time at the Wangjiang Tower, I invited you to drink tea on the top floor.
Uncle, do you think I’m someone who needs money?”
“Actually, that day…” Xia Ji smiled. Although you flipped through the pages quickly and your fingers clicked quickly, I saw…”
Lu Miaomiao rolled her eyes and said righteously,”So what if I see it? Isn’t it thirty times more expensive than the tea outside? I’m still very rich Let’s go, we’re almost there.”
“What exactly are you treating me to?” Xia Ji asked curiously.
“It’s a secret.” Lu Miaomiao narrowed her eyes. ” It must be something really, really, really delicious. ”
Xia Ji’s interest was piqued. ” Oh? Then I’m looking forward to it. ”
His black hair was mixed with white hair as the winter wind brushed past it.
Behind him, it brought out a somewhat detached temperament.
The young girl beside him who was holding his arm also looked like an elf.
The two of them were silent and moved, showing a strange sense of harmony and warmth.
There were fewer lanterns on the street in the winter night, and the light was getting dimmer.
The two of them walked from light to darkness.
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the dark corner of the alley.
It was a beggar with unkempt hair and a dirty face. He looked like he was about to freeze into a roll. He was holding a chipped copper bowl and shaking his hand.
The copper was bouncing up and down in the copper bowl, making a sound.
Lu Miaomiao stopped in her tracks and pulled her arm out of Xia Ji’s arms. She took out a small purse, counted twenty copper coins, and threw it out. ” Go and have a bowl of noodles. ”
The beggar didn’t even look at him and just said mechanically, ” Thank you, thank you. ”
The two of them walked past.
“He thinks you’re giving him too little,” Xia Ji said.
“Nonsense!” Lu Miaomiao said.
Xia Ji said, ” Although his face is dirty, his hair is messy, and his clothes are tattered, they are all fake. I can feel that his Qi and blood flow are completely healthy. Moreover, they are quite strong. He should be a martial artist. ‘
Lu Miaomiao suddenly stopped.
She turned around and ran over.
” What are you doing? ” Xia Ji hurriedly pulled her back.
“I can’t let him cheat me of my hard-earned money.”
Lu Miaomiao broke free from Xia Ji’s grip and ran a small circle before coming back.
The beggar’s acupuncture points were sealed by her, and the bowl had already been snatched by her…
Lu Miaomiao counted 30 copper coins, blew off the dust, and put them into her small purse with satisfaction.
“You actually stole a beggar’s money?” Xia Ji was speechless.
“I was once a beggar,” Lu Miaomiao said.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked, as if they had completely integrated into this ordinary world.
Not far away, there was a black-robed figure.
That figure was sent by the Lu family to check on the progress of the marriage.
When the black-robed figure saw Lu Miaomiao snatching the beggar’s money in front of the Su family’s imperial master, he could not bear to look at her directly. It was a pain in the eyes…
However, he had also heard their undisguised conversation and knew that Lu Miaomiao wanted to treat the emperor’s teacher to a good meal.
The black shadow was also filled with curiosity because as far as he knew, there was nothing good to eat further down the street.
At least there was nothing expensive.
Soon, he saw the two of them stop in front of a small stall.
There was almost no one in front of the stall. Although the big pot behind the stall was covered tightly, steam was still rising from the cracks.
An old couple was standing behind the pot.
“Boss, a large bowl of the secret mutton noodle soup and a bowl of your secret salted vegetable bread,” Lu Miaomiao shouted.
The grandmother of the old couple immediately replied,”Alright.”
Then, he looked at the two of them and smiled.”Little girl, don’t be afraid of getting fat. If your husband really loves you, it’s good that you get fatter.”
“It’s not husband, he…” Lu Miaomiao said with a red face. The old grandma looked at the two of them curiously.
“He’s my brother,” Lu Miaomiao said.
The old lady revealed a knowing smile. As she smiled, she looked at the old man who was cutting the mutton beside her and whispered, “Old man, cut more for the couple. Business isn’t good anyway.”
The old man also smiled, as if he had remembered the old woman and him when they were young. He said,”Got it. You’re so long-winded.”
Xia Ji and Lu Miaomiao sat under the snow shelter.
“Let me tell you, the mutton noodle soup here is especially delicious.” Lu Miaomiao leaned over and said.
“Then why did you only order one serving?” Xia Ji asked, his eyes narrowed.
“I don’t eat much,” Lu Miaomiao said.”A small bowl is enough.”
In the distance…
The black figure who was silently watching the two of them immediately covered his face.
No way, Lu Miaomiao, you’re simply a disgrace to the Lu family.
So the very, very, very delicious thing you mentioned was half a bowl of mutton soup noodles?
Soon…
The black shadow’s bottom line was mercilessly challenged again.
The granny brought a big bowl of mutton soup noodles to the table and gave a small bowl to Lu Miaomiao.
From the beginning to the end, the old lady had been smiling at the two of them. Her gaze seemed to have seen through everything.
Lu Miaomiao’s face almost turned red. She grabbed her chopsticks and started to fork the noodles from the big bowl. She also picked up a large piece of mutton and put it in her bowl.
“Why did you remove all the meat?” Xia Ji asked speechlessly.
Lu Miaomiao looked at it and took another piece back.”ls it fair now? I didn’t take all the meat.”
Bang!
A strange sound suddenly came from afar, as if something had fallen.
The black shadow couldn’t take it anymore. His body twitched and he fell to the ground.
“What’s that sound?” Xia Ji asked.
“Drunkard, right?” Lu Miaomiao asked. Eat your noodles, I’m starving – Boss, hurry up and serve the cornbread.”
She grabbed the small bowl and drank a mouthful of hot soup in satisfaction.
Xia Ji also started eating.
Lu Miaomiao’s incessant chatter could be heard on the table.
“Add some pepper.”
“Wow, this pickled vegetable is really delicious.” “The taste of mutton is indeed very authentic.”
Xia Ji had never eaten such a dinner before.
In the past, he had eaten delicacies from all over the world, but now, the delicacies were all based on his mouth…
But for some reason, he ate quite warmly.
Because, although the winter snow was cold, although it was dead rain,
Because, although the world was big, so big that it was empty and lonely,
Because, although time was long, long enough to break up and reunite, the people around him would eventually leave.
However, at this moment, being accompanied by such an elf was enough to give this simple meal the name of the most delicious.
“Hah
Lu Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief.
The noodles and cornbread on the table had already been swept clean by the two of them.
“I’m not lying, right? It’s really, really, really delicious, right?”
Lu Miaomiao interrogated her soul.
The black shadow who was watching from afar secretly cursed in his heart. Delicious my ass. It’s impolite of you to treat the emperor’s teacher to such a thing. If the emperor’s teacher thinks it’s delicious, then there’s a problem.
But soon, the shadow heard Xia Ji’s laughter.
“Delicious.”
The black shadow was petrified like a frozen ice sculpture, standing still in the snow.
At this moment, he had completed his assessment. A marriage alliance was extremely good..
