Li Bai and Wang Wei looked at each other again when they heard the people who came to buy steamed buns. They found a place to sit down quietly. A half-year-old child ran up to the front and asked, "What to eat?"
"Half a catty of fried dough sticks, soy milk, and some pickles." Wang Wei said to the child. He didn't dare to let Li Bai order it, and it was easy to drink. Although Li Bai is not so good now, his drinking habit is not perfect. Change, especially when you go outside, if you really drink too much, say the wrong thing, or cause trouble, you will also get hurt.
The child didn’t speak much, turned around and ran. After a while, he ran back, holding a tray in his hand, and put two bowls of soy milk and fruit on the table, and then took a tin can from the table next to him. , There were pickles in it, threw it there and ran to work on other things.
Li Bai opened his mouth and said nothing more at last. He actually wanted to emphasize that the pickles he wanted were not this kind, but cold dishes that were mixed. They were bought with money. You don’t need to spend money on pickles like this one, just eat it. Anyway, salty is the same as salt, you can eat as much as you can.
"Eat, there may be a problem." Wang Wei picked up a fried dough stick with his chopsticks, and when he clamped it hard, the fried dough stick was bent, and he pressed it into the dissatisfied soy milk bowl, and said to Li Bai.
Li Bai now doesn't think he has much talent like he first came out of his wife's house, and he has restrained a lot, and is much stronger than the historical Li Bai known by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
At least he now understands the meaning of the sentence from the person who came for breakfast just now. Hongnong is really going to have something to do, so he nodded, took a sip of soy milk, and clicked twice. He found that there was no sugar and was looking for someone to take it. , Wang Wei said next to him: "Don't want sugar. I haven't heard people say that the price of steamed buns has increased? Who will give you sugar, the original flavor is better, don't you like it?"
"I have never liked to drink. I am not here. I am used to drinking porridge and soy milk is tasteless." Li Bai did not conceal his aversion to soy milk.
Wang Wei also refused to persuade him. He wanted to greet his "buddy" to come over and add a bowl of porridge, but was stopped by Li Bai, "Forget it, soy milk is soy milk. If you ask for porridge, you can't drink soy milk."
"It's down." Wang Wei said naturally.
Li Bai glanced at Wang Wei in surprise, and kindly told him, "Brother Mojie, you say this in front of me. If you come back to the capital and meet people from Wang's family, don't say it, let them listen. , The trouble is big."
Wang Wei was puzzled, looked at the soy milk in front of him, and said, "I spend my own money, do they still care? My own money is not theirs."
"If you meet Xiaobei, she will tell you the truth? What you waste today is your own money, and tomorrow you may waste money from the court. If nothing else, they will give you food, drink and clothing every month in the capital. The food will stop first, and you won’t be able to eat such cheap meals when you go to Shuiyunjian."
Li Bai stayed with Xiaobei in Jian'an for a period of time. Those who were influenced by Xiaobei’s nine children’s style also learned not to waste. He felt that he had money. He ate all of the noodles for ten bucks and a bowl of noodles, no problem. If you spend your usual money ordering a table of dishes, and in the end there is a pile of each dish, it is a waste.
Li Bai didn't know where the theory of Xiaobei and others came from. Anyway, he did this when he was with a group of little guys with Xiaobei. He has never seen Xiaobei's nine children throw something to eat. When I was in Jilizhou, I always bought a little and eat a little when I was in Jilizhou. I didn’t buy too much. I went to a small shop to taste new dishes and packaged the leftovers. If it weren’t for the temperament and clothes I was wearing, others would think it’s a poor person. Where's the child at home.
According to Li Baiyi, Wang Wei has taken it seriously. What he is most worried about is the attitude of Zhang and Wang's family. Now it is not just the attitude of Zhang and Wang's family that he cares too much. People are staring, to be precise, because they are afraid of being stared at by Beckham.
When Xiaobei's nine children lived in Chang'an, they would come out every day. Maybe when they met them, if they found a handle by them accidentally, it would not be a simple smile to hide away.
"In that case, brother Taibai, you can drink soy milk, look at the sky, you have to stop, after a few hours, the rain may be even greater again."
Wang Wei remembered Li Bai's words secretly, Wang Wangtian became worried again.
"Youtiao is a catty and three articles? Isn't Qian'er still two articles?" Maybe someone else also noticed that it was raining, and they were afraid of being soaked.
Li Bai and Wang Wei turned their heads to look. They saw three people sitting on a table, two large and one small. Two adults were drinking soy milk and eating fruit, while the small was just staying. There was no tableware in front of them.
It means that eating a catty of fruit for two cents the day before yesterday will change to three cents today.
The young man hurriedly smiled and packed his things and said, "The noodles rise, the oil rises, and the rice rises. All that can rise. You can only lose money if you don’t rise. In fact, you will lose everything if you rise. Kitten, etc. Me, I'll walk with you in a while, I have an umbrella."
The next thing that the little man said was to the child, a little girl, after listening to it, she nodded and watched the two adults leave. Seeing that it was the same plan.
Li Bai suddenly thought that adults were abusing children. Now I understand that children’s meals will go to the school to eat, which is much more abundant than in small shops.
Wang Wei put down his chopsticks and looked up at the sky again. "It's not easy to handle. The price has increased. It's just a penny. That's 50%. It's strange. The food has risen by 50%. It affects people's livelihood. Who is so courageous." Big?"
"Maybe it is a temporary price increase." Li Bai understands what 50% means. He is responsible for the household department's tabulation. Not to mention 50%, even a 10% price fluctuation can cause a lot of shock. , So it is attributed to the temporary price increase.
Wang Wei didn't believe in the temporary, and said, "Do you think there may be insufficient food supply between Chang'an and Luoyang?"
"Then... who ate the leopard gall?" Li Bai wondered, isn't it? How can Hongnong raise the price of food casually between Chang'an and Luoyang, and the county magistrate is not afraid to lose his head
The two looked at each other and couldn't think of it for a while, the only thing they knew was that their task was heavy.
The guy over there cleaned up a table again. When he came in and came out, he had an extra umbrella in his hand and a shoulder bag behind him. He and the little girl jumped out of the shop, holding hands, and he seemed to be there. Time for school.
The heavy rain will drop, and along with the lightning flashes of various shapes in the sky, strips of water patterns appear on the glass of the carriage, such as beans hitting the dustpan, and the sound of thunder from time to time is sandwiched between the trains. The rumbling rumbling movement is much smaller.
Xiaobei and his party started to eat breakfast. They didn't let the cook of the dining car do their work. There was a special cook in the team. They borrowed the place of the dining car and delivered meals one by one.
Xiaobei chose egg custard (cake). Don’t put any halogen, just pour the soy sauce, stir the chicken cake to pieces with a spoon, and press the bottom of the spoon to press out the juice mixed with water and soy sauce, a little bit Drink it, and when it's almost done, what's left is something like fish roe.
This is Zhang Xiaobao's way of eating chicken cake. She learned it. She only found it fun and didn't understand why her brother had to eat it like this.
Before, Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao how his food was different from others. Zhang Xiaobao smiled and explained that eggs are not something you can eat at any time in the orphanage. Steaming the chicken cake once is afraid of eating it out in a few bites. Eat it bit by bit, drink the water first, and then the white stuff that is hard and unopened egg white can be used as a delicious snack.
Who doesn’t know that it’s delicious when it’s tender, and it’s not for the sake of staying a while longer. It’s also cultivated at that time to eat without wasting, and it’s really scary to be hungry.
"Water." Beckham's soy sauce was too much, salty, and he reached out for water. Someone next to him immediately handed over a glass of boiled water. There was nothing in it, no sugar, no honey, not mineral water, so the servants dare not put it casually. , This is strictly stipulated by the little son and the little lady.
"It's salty." Xiaoyuan, who was sitting across from Xiaobei, looked up at Xiaobei and said. He also ate chicken cakes. The stewed in it was not expensive. Two eggs were not expensive. They contained nettle mushrooms, fungus, cistanche and essence. The stewed venison is the most important part of this bowl of chicken cake.
Beibei was worried about how to eat the rest. Hearing Xiaoyuan's words, he smiled gratefully at Xiaoyuan. When Xiaoyuan regretted making a noise, he put a spoon into Xiaoyuan's bowl and scooped a big chunk. When the chicken cake came back, he used a spoon to put the pestle in his bowl together, "Okay, Brother Xiaoyuan, you are so kind."
He wanted to scoop it once, but Xiao Hai, who was eating egg pancakes, stopped, looked at his sister and said, "It's not enough to scoop Xiaoyuan again."
"Oh!" Xiaobei is honest. Recently, she is a little afraid of her twin brother. Don't look at this brother who is always silent, but as long as she speaks, she must do it, even her elder brother and sister boast.
Unable to rest, she took a soup dumpling, whispered twice, took a sip, and said: "I don't know why the emperor uncle sent us here to do it. It's raining."
"Killing." Xiaohai explained to her.
"Who to kill?" Beckham is not afraid of killing or dying. He has seen too many people, but can't think of which one to kill. He looks at his twin brother in a plea for advice. The elder brother and sister usually said, Xiaohai My elder brother is good, so what kind of logical thinking ability is strong.
"Kill officials, and those who colluded with officials." Xiaohai replied very briefly.
"Why?" Beckham doesn't care who he kills, he just wants to know the reason for killing.
"Because you were dispatched." Xiaohai explained.
"Yes, I'm here." Beckham still didn't understand.
Xiaohai's logical thinking is indeed unusual. He thought of Li Bai and Wang Wei's dispatch before, and Jingcheng also planned to let himself follow the past here.
