The rain had stopped, and the road was heavily watered and muddy. It was already night when the two of them returned to the city.
Qin Wuyan looked at the vendors at the intersection, and got off his horse: "Eat something before going back, fill your stomach."
Yu Sui swallowed her saliva: "I have no money."
Zhuang Xiaoyu also shook her head: "I don't have any money anymore."
The only thing left on her body was a relic left by her mother. It was her wish, and it was impossible to mortgage it for a meal.
Qin Wuyan looked at the vendor: "Old man, can I have some pancakes and fruits on credit? I'll mortgage the knife in my hand here, how about it?"
The vendor looked at the three of them, and raised his hand to weigh the knife again. Because he couldn't read, he naturally didn't know the power of the three characters "Priest House" on the handle of the knife.
Seeing that they were hungry but well dressed, he said: "This is a small business, and I have never paid on credit. Although I don't know the goods, I also know that this knife is expensive. How can I buy three pancakes for one?" a knife?
How about this, I see that the clothes on that little brother are not bad, can I exchange the outermost cloak? This piece of fabric can be used to make two sets of clothes for my two babies. "
The vendor looked at Zhuang Xiaoyu.
Zhuang Xiaoyu looked down at the cloak on her body. It was a plain cotton cloth, a little long, and it was the clothes that had been under the box for more than ten years, but the wet nurse put it in the closet casually.
It has long been outdated, the color is a bit dull, but it is not damaged, half old and not new. When it came out, it was Yu Sui who picked it up and carried it with him, so as not to expose the identity of Zhuang Xiaoyu's woman after the drizzle wets the clothes.
On the way back, there was a gentle breeze and drizzle, so this cloak came in handy and was put on Zhuang Xiaoyu.
A cloak that is useless at all can be exchanged for three pancakes that can fill your stomach.
Zhuang Xiaoyu took off the cloak decisively and handed it to Qin Wuyan: "Change it."
Not only did the vendor happily accept it, but he also brought them three bowls of hot camellia oleifera.
In the past, not to mention Zhuang Xiaoyu, even Yu Sui would not be able to drink this kind of thing, but now that he was hungry and cold, Yu Sui didn't care so much, and took a big sip of the hot oil tea.
A warm current slipped from the throat to the cold belly, and the cold hands and feet became much warmer. Yu Sui sighed contentedly: "I didn't expect this oil tea to be so delicious. After taking a sip, my body will be warm."
Zhuang Xiaoyu also took a few sips and nodded in agreement.
Qin Wuyan curled his lips mockingly: "It's not that the camellia oleifera tastes good, but that you are hungry. If you are full of wine and food, you and the miss may not even look at these teas and food."
Yu Sui bulged her cheeks, noncommittal.
Zhuang Xiaoyu held the oil tea bowl in both hands, "If you eat too much food in the house, it's easy to get bored."
Qin Wuyan raised his eyes and stared at Zhuang Xiaoyu, and retorted: "The food in the house is not the same three times a day, if even this is boring, then the oil tea and pancakes will be boring forever in less than three days."
There was a hint of mockery in his words: "Those who have never tasted the taste of hunger do not know the feeling of being full. I hope that Miss will never experience that feeling in her life."
Zhuang Xiaoyu only felt that what he said seemed to mean something, but for a while he couldn't tell what Qin Wuyan meant, it didn't seem to be aimed at him, but he seemed to be vigilant.
