"Hey, I'm sorry, guest, wait a moment. It's like this..."
Looking at Zhou Zhenghao's questioning expression, Uncle Wang rubbed his hands. He could tell that this Zhou Zhenghao was not an ordinary person. At least his clothes were too clean and his face was rosy. He didn't look like a man who lacked clothes and clothes.
Such people should have a certain status in the ancient city. Therefore, they were careful when speaking.
"What's up?……"
"Yes!... That's it. I'm sorry, Boss Zhou, this is a small business, and the world is not good now. Can we settle the account first?..."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhenghao was slightly startled. There is also this rule,
"You mean you have to pay first and then eat. Is this the same for other businesses in the ancient city? Is it a rule?..."
"Of course, it seems that Boss Zhou is also the first to come to our giant ancient city. I don't know about other places in this giant ancient city, but on this street, you pay first and then eat. There is no way to control it...
…”
"Oh well!……"
Zhou Zhenghao didn't care. He had never thought about eating a King's meal. It wouldn't be the same if he paid first and then paid later.
However, this also confirms that the security in this huge ancient city is not very good, and there must be a lot of freeloaders.
Speaking of which, Zhou Zhenghao had been walking around the main street for a long time, and he saw one or two street policemen walking past him, but he never saw the others.
This security force is a bit weak. If a strong young man like himself were to lift his legs and run away after eating, Uncle Wang would really not be able to catch up.
He took out 100 gold coins directly from his backpack and gave it to Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang took the 200 gold coins, smiled like a chrysanthemum, and nodded repeatedly,
"Well, okay, okay, thank you, thank you boss, it will be ready soon. This batch of sesame cakes will be ready soon. You guys sit there, uh, Xiaolong gets some water and gives the boss a glass of water..."
This food stall is really shabby, and the meat buns are just cold water.
Zhou Zhenghao looked at the somewhat dark cup and frowned in disgust.
Xie Xiaolong was very eye-catching, and quickly used the kettle next to him to clean the cup several times, brushing it clean, and then placed it in front of Zhou Zhenghao and poured a glass of water.
Zhou Zhenghao was a little surprised. He didn't expect this kid to be good at it. He didn't say anything, and he understood what he meant with just one look.
Xie Xiaolong's own cup was not that particular. It was all black and messy. He just poured some water into it and drank it all.
After finishing the drink, he frowned and whispered angrily.
"broken.……"
"Um!……"
Zhou Zhenghao on the opposite side was shocked.
"What's wrong? Is the water poisonous?..."
"What's the poison? Boss Zhou saw that my head was dizzy. After drinking such a big bowl of water, I had to eat at least half of the Roujiamo. Isn't this a disadvantage? My mouth is the same, why don't you care?
Can’t stay?..."
"Holy crap, this is what happened..."
Zhou Zhenghao was so angry that he almost slapped him. How could this kid always make him angry?
Sure enough, soon, the golden and crispy sesame cake came out of the oven. Zhou Zhenghao watched Uncle Wang skillfully cut the sesame cake into two pieces with a knife, then took out three or five pieces of pork belly from the pot, and said "bang bang bang!...
…"Chop directly into minced meat.
Then it was added to the sesame seed cakes, and a meat-filled steamed bun was made. Zhou Hao watched from the side. There was nothing added to the meat, not even any vegetables, let alone chili peppers.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, give me more fat, I will add more fat..."
Zhou Zhenghao sat on the chair and watched. Xie Xiaolong had already rushed over, picking out the fat and thin meat, but he was picking out the fat meat.
This meat is definitely sizzling and oily when you take one bite.
"I'm coming,……"
Xie Xiaolong was holding a plate with four meat buns on it. The sesame cakes of the meat buns had just come out of the oven, and the meat had just been taken out of the boiling soup. It was steaming, and it was very appetizing at first sight.
.
But Zhou Zhenghao knows this stuff, so he is not in a hurry to eat it now because it burns his mouth. Xie Xiaolong across from him doesn’t care, he grabs one and stuffs it into his mouth.
He took one bite, and then "Hot, hot, hot!..." He shouted "hot!" but he couldn't bear to spit out the meat and cake in his mouth. He chewed it after shouting "hot", and finally raised his neck and swallowed it.
Zhou Zhenghao permed for him just looking at it.
"Why are you so anxious to eat slowly? There's no one to grab it for you. I've said it before, I'll definitely take care of you if you're full. You can eat as much as you can..."
Zhou Zhenghao looked at Xie Xiaolong and sighed. This child was really hungry.
But Xie Xiaolong didn't pay any attention to what Zhou Zhenghao said on the opposite side. He wolfed down one meat bun directly into his stomach and before finishing it, he had already picked up the other meat bun with his other hand.
Only then did Zhou Zhenghao pick up one. He also wanted to taste the meat buns.
To be honest, in the old world, he had a unique hobby for this food, otherwise he would not go out to eat donkey meat on fire in the middle of the night.
Donkey meat barbecue and meat buns are two of Zhou Zhenghao's two major hobbies. He has never eaten them since he came to this strange continent.
He picked up the Roujiamo and took a bite. He could only feel the fragrance on his teeth and cheeks. The meat was indeed well stewed and the sesame seed cakes were cooked at the right temperature.
It's just crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can tell that Uncle Wang's craftsmanship is really good. The only regret is that there is no chili pepper in it. If you add a green chili pepper, it will taste full.
perfect,
But even without chili pepper, the meat is still very fragrant when stewed. I don’t know if any special seasoning is put in it, but it gives it a pure meaty aroma.
"How's it going? Boss Zhou, isn't Uncle Wang's craftsmanship good? Is this Roujiamo delicious? I tell you, I think about it every day. Unfortunately, this is the first time I've eaten it since I came to Jugu City.
Real Roujiamo..."
Xie Xiaolong was full with one Roujiamo, but he ate the second one a little slower. While eating, he was chatting with Zhou Zhenghao in unclear words.
It can be seen that this kid is very good at chatting. In the old world, there was a beautiful praise for this kind of people, which was called chatterbox, also called social arrogance syndrome.
In this short period of time, Xie Xiaolong seemed to be good friends with Zhou Zhenghao who grew up wearing crotchless pants, speaking unscrupulously.
At this time, Zhou Zhenghao hadn't even taken two bites of the meat buns, but Xie Xiaolong had already stuffed two large meat buns into his stomach and shouted loudly.
"Uncle Wang!... Three more..."
As soon as he finished shouting, Uncle Wang had already walked over, glanced at Zhou Zhenghao with a smile, and whispered,
"I just know your kid can eat. Give me some water to cushion you, and don't hold on..."
"I know, Uncle Wang,..."
At this time, Xie Xiaolong impatiently grabbed the Roujiamo and continued to struggle.
Zhou Zhenghao was a little different. He didn't expect Uncle Wang to be so kind. This is rare among survivors of the apocalypse.
"Isn't my uncle Wang a nice person?..."
At this time, I watched Uncle Wang return to his seat and start to play with the stove. He had already started a fire and the meat was almost stewed. He turned down the heat.
Then he sat there, looking across the street. There was a touch of sadness on his face, and he seemed to be a man with a story...
Zhou Zhenghao may be because he actually writes novels, so he always has a habit of observing the people around him, and he observes them very carefully.
When he was in the old world, even when Kavin couldn't write anymore, he would go to the park or the roadside to watch pedestrians, and make up some stories for these pedestrians that combined their appearance...
For example, if a pair of elderly people are walking in the park, he will guess what the elderly couple has experienced in their lives, right? They have experienced ups and downs, and finally recovered and calmed down.
"Boss Zhou, Boss Zhou..."
Xie Xiaolong's voice brought Zhou Zhenghao back to reality. He stuffed one meat bun into his stomach and felt that it was almost done. He grabbed the second one and ate it slowly, returning to his thoughts.
Looking at Xie Xiaolong devouring food in front of him, Xie Xiaolong was still busy eating the meat buns.
"Boss Zhou, my Uncle Wang is really a good person. I can tell you that on this main street, I am the only good person, and the others are just some bastards.
If I had gone there, I would have either been scolded or kicked out. Only Uncle Wang did not dislike me. When I first arrived in Jugu City, I was too hungry to walk. It was all a coincidence. I was destined to meet Uncle Wang.
Right here in this tent, I squatted here and slept at night,
The next day I saw my Uncle Wang coming over. Later, Uncle Wang felt sorry for me and asked me to help him build this shed. Did you see? This shed, this stove, this table, and the stools are all mine... and I
Uncle Wang did it together..."
When he said this, Xie Xiaolong finally showed his conscience and gave him a slap in the face.
Of course Zhou Zhenghao knows what he means. He is only a half-year-old child. If you look at his thin body, he can be blown away by a strong wind. What kind of work can he do?
On the other hand, Uncle Wang, although not tall, looks solid and still has some strength.
"Look, my uncle Wang is looking at the other side again..."
Xie Xiaolong's topic changed quickly. Zhou Zhenghao had already noticed that Uncle Wang was sitting in the shop doing nothing. He kept looking at a barber shop diagonally across the street not far away.
This is also very common in giant ancient cities. Basically, if you walk a few steps, there will be a barber shop every few dozen meters. Nowadays, there are more people, and people’s hair also needs to be taken care of.
This barber shop looks about the same size as Uncle Wang's shop, which is about a dozen square meters, but there are two blue curtains hanging outside the door.
These two blue curtains have been washed and turned white, with the word "haircut" written on them in red pen, one on the left and one on the right.
These two characters are written very neatly.
Sure enough, before Zhou Zhenghao asked, Xie Xiaolong took the initiative to talk to him.
"The person in the barber shop opposite is Aunt Qin. Let me tell you, my Aunt Qin is a beauty. When she was young, she was like a school beauty in Feli City..."
"Then what? There is a story between your Uncle Wang and this Aunt Qin?..."
"There are more than just stories. Listen to me tell you..."
Xie Xiaolong suddenly became interested. It can be seen that this child usually doesn't have many friends. He keeps talking all the time. But today, he somehow got lucky and caught Zhou Zhenghao. This is a very exciting thing to say.
He said that he had secretly looked at Uncle Wang before, and when he saw that Uncle Wang didn't pay attention to him, he said quietly.
"I also heard what Uncle Wang said. When they were young, Uncle Wang and Aunt Qin were childhood sweethearts. They went to the same school from elementary school to university, and they were always classmates. But after entering university,
Aunt Qin became a school beauty and was chased by many people, including a rich second generation.
It cost a lot of money to chase Aunt Qin. But Aunt Qin was unmoved and stayed with my Uncle Wang. Unfortunately, we still didn’t get together.
That's because Aunt Qin's family likes the second generation of rich people and scorns Uncle Wang, a pauper, and won't even let him in..."
"Really? What happened next?..."
"Later, my aunt got married to that rich second generation, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Unfortunately, the end came.
At that time, the black mist spread throughout Feili City, and my Uncle Wang's first reaction was to find Aunt Qin. The emperor paid off and allowed Uncle Wang to find her.
When he found Aunt Qin, he found that his husband and children had been dragged away by monsters. Originally, Aunt Qin had no intention of living. She wanted to rush into the black mist and forget about being dragged away by monsters.
It was my Uncle Wang who pulled her and escaped all the way, but she was summoned directly on the way. After being summoned, my Aunt Qin was also hit. She did not agree to be with Uncle Wang, but instead acted like this on her own.
a barber shop,
When Uncle Wang knew about it, he immediately opened a meat bun opposite him in this position. The two of them were like this. They were always polite and said hello when they met. They both knew each other in their hearts. Unfortunately, this
There is a ditch in the middle and I can't cross it. It's such a pity.
If you want me to say it, Aunt Qin should marry our Uncle Wang directly. It would be better for the two of us together..."
Xie Xiaolong shook his head and gossiped, adding his own complaints,
Zhou Zhenghao listened clearly to the story of these two people, and it was exactly what he had guessed. It was not like he had never written such a plot in his novels.
But now it is happening in front of the living eyes. I feel that these two people are also suffering. But there is no way for outsiders to interfere in this kind of thing.
"Also, I heard from my Uncle Wang that Aunt Qin seems to be obsessed with gambling during this period. I heard that she lost most of the money she earned from haircuts, and she seems to still owe money to the casino. Alas, I don't understand either.
What on earth is this woman thinking?..."
Xie Xiaolong was shaking his head in a pretentious manner. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, how could he know the pain in a middle-aged woman's heart and wanted to find something to kill her time.
Zhou Zhenghao understood Aunt Qin's behavior very well.
"ah,……"
A scream came from across the street, startling the two men who were gossiping in low voices, and quickly turned their heads to look over.
I saw a woman suddenly rush out of the barber shop opposite. Because she rushed out so fiercely, she took off the curtain at the door. The blue curtain fell to the ground, revealing the situation inside...
There were actually three big men in the store, two of them were sitting on chairs, and one was leaning on a pillar of the shed.
The three of them were all laughing now. Looking at the woman who ran out, Zhou Zhenghao also nodded secretly. This woman seemed to be almost 40 years old, but if I had to use one word to describe him, she would still have charm...
,
She has a good figure, at least not out of shape, and her face is also very delicate.
There are a little crow's feet on both sides of her eyes, which only adds to her mature charm...
As soon as the woman rushed out, Zhou Shenghao felt a figure passing by him. It was Uncle Wang who had rushed over.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with Xiaoqin?..."
Wang Shu walked over nervously. At this time, even Xie Xiaolong, who was devouring his food, stopped the meat bun in his hand and ran over.
"What's the matter with Aunt Qin?..."
"Haha, that's amazing. It turns out that if you are beautiful, there will be someone to help you..."
At this time, a strange voice came, and the three guys in the shed walked out casually. The first one had half of his head shaved off, and it looked like he was getting a haircut.
Half of my long hair has not been cut off.
"They!... They use their hands and feet in an unruly manner..."
The woman who was called Aunt Qin had a slightly angry face. She was so frightened that she stood dumbly, her thin and delicate body shaking slightly. Looking at the three people, Uncle Wang was stunned when he heard this.
Anxious,
"What are you doing? There are royal laws and street police here. Be careful if I call someone..."
"What did you call us for? Did we steal your things or rob you of your money? Everyone, look at what we did..."
The big man with half his head shaved walked out with a smile. His hands had short, thick fingers and thick calluses. At first glance, he looked like a person who had practiced hard qigong. He spoke with a strong voice, and there was a hint of domineering between his eyebrows.
He looked like a horse bandit from the old days. He had a strange look on his face, and it was obvious that he was not a good guy.
His eyes were still scanning Aunt Qin's body, and one of his friends next to him also said with a smile,
"Haha. Lao Jia, why do you like this kind of stuff?..."
"Hey, Xiao Yi, you don't understand. I'm young and don't know how good my aunt is, and I mistake a girl for a treasure. This aunt has the charm of an aunt. How about it? I'll give you 50 gold coins to accompany you once. I won't treat you badly, right?
We have agreed that this is buying and selling, so even if the street police come, they won’t be able to control us, don’t you think so?..."
The guy called Lao Jia, who had half his head shaved, said this, and the people next to him laughed.
At this time, Zhou Zhenghao was still sitting on the tree stump here. He saw that except Uncle Wang and Xie Xiaolong rushing over, the other stalls were busy with their own affairs.
Except for a few idle watchers, standing in the distance and pointing.
No one came to help.
"What are you talking about? I'm in a serious business, I'm a serious person, I'm innocent,
