What Liu Ruiying said to Zhao Mingming was actually very simple, it was all about the little girl in the temple. He promised that Sugar Fried Chestnuts would bring her to Zhongdu to eat the best Sugar Fried Chestnuts. At the same time, he also promised that Zhao Mingming would come to Zhongdu to find a miracle doctor who could cure the little girl. He knew not many doctors, only one, that is, Ye Laogui, who saved him in the Dingxi King Realm and Dingzhou Prefecture City.

When saying goodbye, Ye Laogui once said to Liu Ruiying that Zhongdu meets Liu Ruiying. Now that he has returned to Zhongdu, he can find Ye Laogui. Although this miraculous doctor has a weird temper and is still aggressive, it seems that people with ability are like this. Even if they look gentle and elegant, they will have their own unique quirks. But such people have one thing in common, that is, they will always believe in their words and do what they do. They will do whatever they promise others, and they will do it no matter what they decide to do, and even if they take their lives, they will not change. So Liu Ruiying knew that Ye Laogui must be in Zhongdu City, but the vast sea of ​​people, and the dragon is not seen at the head and tail, and it will take some effort to find him.

After saying the matter, Liu Ruiying exchanged a few greetings and left Zhao Mingming's room. The previous hallucinations were still lingering in his mind and could not let go. It happened that Zhao Mingming changed into a brand new white dress after arriving at the inn today, which was almost no different from what Liu Ruiying saw in the hallucination. He was worried that if he continued to stay, he might not be able to distinguish between fantasy and reality, so he was so hurrying.

Even the candy fried chestnuts noticed Liu Ruiying's strangeness, but it was not difficult to understand the conflict between Ou Xiao'e and Ye Xueyun when buying candy fried chestnuts from Grandma Xiong. One side is his friend and the other side is Shangguan's relative. Liu Ruiying, who was sandwiched in the middle, must have been very difficult to cook, otherwise he would not have gone straight to Zhongdu Check-in Department without eating dinner.

Although Ou Xiao'e didn't mention anything about what happened, the candy fried chestnut told Zhao Mingming all the time after dinner. She thought the lady would blame her, but she didn't expect that Zhao Mingming just nodded after hearing this and did not say anything more. There has never been any concealment between the candy fried chestnut and Zhao Mingming. No matter whether others say it or not, she would say what she saw and heard without saying it.

After Liu Ruiying left, Tangfried Chestnut turned around and stared at the door for a long time before walking forward to close the door. Then he went back to the window and lying down, continuing to watch the noisy crowds on the street downstairs. She didn't like the excitement, but she liked to be a bystander. While these excitement had nothing to do with him, it made her less bored. For Tangfried Chestnut, this was the best state.

There was also a room left for Liu Ruiying on this floor, right next to his nephew Huanong. However, Liu Ruiying did not go back to the house, but instead pushed open Huanong's door.

The room was pitch black and Huanong was not in the room. Liu Ruiying walked to the window, opened the window, and then the lights outside saw a note pressing under the candlestick on the table, with a crooked note on it saying, "Uncle Master, I'll go out for a walk."

After watching it, Liu Ruiying smiled slightly, thinking that Huanong, the child, had grown up after all. When Bogu Tower first brought him out, he always held the broken sword tightly because it was the only thing that could give him a sense of security at that time. Now, he can easily integrate into this world without any abruptness.

Xiao Jin's original words were to let Liu Ruiying bring Huanong to Zhongdu City to see the world. A very simple sentence, but the meaning behind it is extremely behind it. The world is too ethereal and illusory, not a very specific thing. It is not like a wine pot, a carriage, and a long sword, which is like having something at a glance, and there is nothing. It is a process that requires accumulating feelings by practice. In the same long street, everyone sees different worlds.

If Liu Ruiying led him and Huanong followed him, what he saw was the world that Liu Ruiying had learned, not his own. Liu Ruiying originally wanted to have a good talk with Huanong after meeting Wei Qilin, and give him a few days to let him wander around the capital himself, but now it seems that it saves a lot of verbal skills.

Liu Ruiying picked up the pen on the table, drew a circle on the back of the note with undried ink, indicating that he had seen it and agreed very much. However, he thought about it, he also wanted to go out for a walk, so he closed the door and walked downstairs out of Xiangteng Inn.

The long street corresponding to the main entrance of the inn is not the most lively in Zhongdu City, at least the top three. After all, the standards for lively change every day, and no one can control how many people, shops, and vendors there are on a street.

Unless it happens that Liu Jinghao, the King of Qingzhong, issued an order to clean the streets or curfews. However, Liu Ruiying has never seen such a situation before, but only knows from the archives that it has happened several times.

Liu Ruiying walked along the long street, and he couldn't remember where he could reach it. If it were during the day, he might have a vague impression. But at night, the lights are bright everywhere, and although they are so lively, it completely changed the appearance of the long street. If it weren't for the very familiarity, many people would have lost their way.

The crowds on the long street were a bit too crowded. Although they were not as good as shoulder to shoulder, they were almost the same. Liu Ruiying encountered a fork in the alley and got into it. There was no one here, only the garbage on the other side was leaning against the wall. It was not as noisy as on the long street. He could even hear the "squeaking" sound made by rats when they flipped over the garbage to find food.

The mouse during the holidays has always been hated, but when he suddenly heard it, Liu Ruiying felt that the cry was full of blessings. He didn't know where this feeling came from, but it made him feel ridiculous. However, at that moment, Liu Ruiying really felt this way.

After passing through this alley, he suddenly felt a little familiar. After looking around for a while, he found that this was the place where he came to buy candy and fried chestnuts during the day. Liu Ruiying had already seen Grandma Xiong's fried chestnuts, but he did not smell the sweetness of chestnuts.

Grandma Xiong has been closing the stall for a long time, and the fragrance has long dissipated.

At this time, the smell here ended up being a tavern on the right side of Liu Ruiying. There was no plaque in front of the door and no tricks on the upper floor. I don’t know what it was called. Perhaps it was a newly opened store, and the boss had not decided what it was called.

Naming a store is more important than naming a child.

Even people who are not superstitious have to buy a book called "Shuowen Jiezi", turning from beginning to end, and then from end to end. Such books do not need to be read in order. Sometimes, you can find several words with good meaning and catchy meanings. But more often, you can't find a satisfactory word, and you always expect that the next page will appear better. Looking at the mountain, you will finally come back to your senses after seeing the last page, and you have to start over with regret.

If someone is a little more particular, he will spend a lot of money. He will ask a good character to check the character, look at the Feng Shui master, and explore the direction of the store according to the compass, and then combine the boss's birth date and eight characters and the strokes of the name to calculate a five elements that complement each other, increase wealth, and speak out a very resounding name.

Liu Ruiying saw that there was a place for hanging plaques at the door of the tavern, and even the wooden wedges used to fix them were already in place. It was probably because he had not found a proper master to calculate, so he was left empty.

However, the restaurant has no name and does not delay its opening. After all, people who come to drink will not pay attention to the name of this store? Even if I remember it at that time, few people can still call it after having fun.

Whether a wine shop is popular or not or whether the business is good depends mainly on the taste of its wine, the heat of the food, and whether the girl who is accompanying the wine is good.

Liu Ruiying looked inside and saw the whole shop full of Yingying and Yanyan, and even covered the strong aroma of wine. He knew that this was a place to drink meat and wine.

Drinking alcohol is divided into meat and vegetables.

Three or five close friends gathered together, ordered a few plates of side dishes and a few pots of warm wine, and chatted with each other while chatting about what they saw and heard, it was vegetarian wine. It was as delicate as this, with a slightly wider lips, and the spring light suddenly blew, which was meat wine. Before I could drink, I was so charming that I was so charming that I was so much bigger than when I was drinking vegetarian wine.

Liu Ruiying looked at it for a while and then prepared to leave. He didn't want to drink alcohol tonight, nor did he want to drink meat. But just as he raised his legs, he saw an old woman with a slightly hunched back and a bamboo basket carrying a bamboo basket in the bend of her arms, shuttled between the tables in the winery, as if she was hawking the things in the bamboo basket.

It was Grandma Xiong, and of course the stuff in the bamboo basket was fried chestnuts.

Seeing this, Liu Ruiying stood still and wanted to look at him for a while. The doubts left by Grandma Xiong during the day had not been solved yet. He wanted to try whether he could see any clues at this moment.

Chewy chestnuts are sweets.

I guess there are few people in this world who treat sweets as a dish.

Therefore, although Grandma Xiong was trying hard to promote her candy-fried chestnuts, there were only a few people who were interested. However, she was still unwilling to give up, but instead she went round after round. Finally, there was a table of drinkers who should have been annoyed and bought a pack of Grandma Xiong’s chestnuts.

Grandma Xiong was also very happy to see that it would open tonight.

The chestnuts in the bamboo basket were all packed in small cloth bags, one bag of five taels, no more or less. The price was 30% cheaper than when I was sold in the shop during the day.

After completing the first business, Grandma Xiong was obviously very encouraged, but it caused dissatisfaction among several tables of drinkers. After all, Grandma Xiong was selling like this interrupted the rhythm of many people drinking. Many people were in a hurry and talking, Grandma Xiong suddenly walked to the table and suddenly asked, "Do you want to stir-fried chestnuts with candy? A big sweet candy fried chestnut!" Even if it were Liu Ruiying, she would feel unhappy.

Sure enough, with the complaints from the drinkers, the shopkeepers were very "polite" to "invited" Grandma Xiong out.

As soon as I went out, I saw Liu Ruiying head-on.

"Young man, do you want to eat chestnuts?"

Grandma Xiong asked.

At the same time, the bamboo basket was uncovered and covered with an extremely thick lining cloth.

I must be afraid that the chestnuts will get cold when they are fried. After all, the chestnuts will taste worse when they are cooled. It was originally soft and glutinous, and it will become hard. The sweetness will no longer be so lubricated, forming sugar shells, pasting on the surface of the chestnuts, and getting a little greasy when eaten in the mouth.

"Don't you remember me?"

Liu Ruiying asked with a smile.

Grandma Xiong narrowed her eyes, leaned closer and looked carefully, and then laughed out loud.

It seems that he has recognized who Liu Ruiying is.

Fried chestnuts with one hundred pounds of candy, and two Oujia swords to fight.

Such incidents are not easy to encounter. Even if Grandma Xiong has a bad memory, she will probably have a very good impression.

"Remember! Have you finished eating that hundred pounds of fried chestnuts with candy?"

Grandma Xiong asked with a smile.

Liu Ruiying was a little helpless.

One hundred kilograms of rice are enough for a group of people to eat for about ten days. One hundred kilograms of fried chestnuts from now on until the Mid-Autumn Festival is probably not enough to finish them, provided that they have not broken yet.

"I didn't expect Grandma Xiong to sell chestnuts from house to house at night."

Liu Ruiying said.

During the day, he felt that Grandma Xiong was not greedy for money. But now it seems that this is not the case. Who would dislike the money? What's more, people who open shops and do business?

"The money earned in the shop is enough for me, an old guy. But life always needs to be filled, so I will work hard at night to earn more money for the lamp and gas."

Grandma Xiong said.

Liu Ruiying nodded after hearing this.

In the face of life, it is not easy for anyone. No matter what method you use, everyone is relatively equal.

Since Grandma Xiong recognized Liu Ruiying, she knew that he would not buy his chestnuts. So she waved to him, then staggered and walked forward.

There is a wine shop not far ahead, and there is no plaque, but there is a dirty trick hanging on it, which seems to have not been taken down for many years. The original apricot yellow family turned black, and even a little purple was faintly revealed.

The last restaurant was because the boss didn't think of a suitable name, but this one was purely because the store was too small and broken. People who came here to drink were just to enjoy the alcohol addiction. The dishes were often only fried in half a plate, with peanuts sprinkled with coarse salt. Grandma Xiong wanted to come here to try her luck and see if she could sell a few packs of them for those who were poor.

Liu Ruiying followed her slowly. Anyway, there is a place she wants to go, so why not observe more about what is hidden in Grandma Xiong.

The eaves of this small winery are protruding very long, and four tables are placed under the eaves. However, the weather is not quite hot now, so I didn't sit outside and drink. The four tables are all empty, but there is a person standing next to the table.

He was wearing a very wide blue robe, covering his hands and feet.

The collar was loose and looked extremely unfit, like a borrowed piece of clothing.

From the thickness of his neck, it can be seen that this man is not fat, but is very thin.

Why does a thin man wear such a wide robe? Besides, although the weather is not hot now, it is also the season to change into single clothes. Liu Ruiying saw that people were dressed in a similar cool way, but this person was wrapped in thick clothes, covering up all of himself.

He just stood still, without saying anything or drinking.

Someone in the store looked at him from time to time, as if he was quite curious about this person's behavior.

Liu Ruiying saw his Adam's apple move up and down, and then a drop of sweat slid down from above, sliding across the bulge of the Adam's apple, holding a long sweat stain, which flowed into the depths of the lapel of the chest.

If you wear this way, you will definitely get hot, and if you are hot, you will inevitably sweat.

It feels very uncomfortable to stroke the skin, and everyone should have felt this. Even if you don’t have time to wipe your sweat, you will reach out and touch it after the sweat beads are stroked. Use a stronger touch to suppress the itch caused by the sweat beads.

But here is not.

His hands were still covered in his wide robe, without any intention of moving.

But his eyes were staring at the vendor opposite him.

Liu Ruiying followed his eyes and the vendor sat on an extremely low bench. The legs of the four stools were very long, so they often swayed when they sat on it.

However, the vendor seemed to enjoy this feeling. Not only did he not look for something to cushion, but he twisted his waist, which made the bench sway in front and behind.

The legs of the stool fell on the ground, making a crisp "click" sound. If the speed was faster, it would be like the sound of horse hooves.

There is a shoulder pole in front of the vendor.

There are two large baskets on both ends of the shoulder pole, which are also made of bamboo.

There are many small baskets of different sizes in the big box on the left, which are the goods he sells.

His shoulder pole was much wider than normal, with a slap of one and a half. As a result, it turned into a small table in front of him. There were some handmade gadgets in Shanghai, which were also made of bamboo wire. Most of them were insect-like weapons. In the middle was a tall tower. Liu Ruiying looked familiar, but the lights were dim and the workmanship was not exquisite, but she didn't remember where she had seen it.

The vendor also noticed Liu Ruiying's gaze, but he ignored it.

As soon as he saw Liu Ruiying's clothes, he knew that this person was not his guest.

Those baskets of varying sizes are bought by ordinary people at home to store miscellaneous items. The gadgets on the shoulder pole in front of them are also small gifts for ordinary people to buy to make their children happy.
