"Having a sword on your back is inconvenient."
This time, Di Moyu shook his head, then bent down and held Jun Feijue firmly in his arms.
The sudden shaking made Jun Feijue instinctively reach out and hug his neck.
Upon closer contact, the baby's milky scent wafted over again, softening Di Moyu's heart and warming his gaze.
"Miss, wait for me! You...you're so small, you can't eat too much!"
By the time Jin Yue fully came to her senses, the two had already walked quite a distance. She hurriedly shouted and chased after them, "Otherwise you'll get a stomachache."
However, Jun Feijue, who had just opened the door to the world of human food and was instantly captivated by it, had no intention of listening to Jin Yue's advice.
Held in someone's arms, with an excellent, commanding view, Jun Feijue could take in all the delicious food on the street.
Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she stared at the various foods, pointing with her little finger and asking, "What's that?"
"Roast duck, would you like some?" Di Moyu asked casually.
“Eat.” Jun Feijue nodded without hesitation.
"good."
Di Moyu nodded, took two steps forward and said to the stall owner, "One roasted duck leg, the rest will be paid for."
After saying that, he pointed to Jin Yue, who was struggling to move forward in the crowd behind him.
"Alright, one roast duck leg."
With a shout, the stall owner swiftly cut the duck leg, wrapped it in oil paper, and the fragrant roasted duck leg landed in Jun Feijue's hands.
"Same as above: bite, chew, swallow."
Seeing Jun Feijue looking at him, Di Moyu immediately understood what she meant.
"Click..."
Upon hearing this, Jun Feijue did not hesitate any longer and took a big bite.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious, oily aroma, its flavor is truly indescribable.
In the blink of an eye, most of the roast duck leg had already been eaten.
"What else would you like to eat?"
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, a slight smile appeared in Di Moyu's eyes, and he continued to ask.
"Hmm, what's that bright red thing?"
Jun Feijue pointed to the man selling candied hawthorns while carrying a target and asked.
"It should be edible, let's try it."
Di Moyu himself had never eaten it before, so he took Jun Feijue with him.
Just then, Jin Yue squeezed through the crowd to the roast duck stall and was grabbed.
"Girl, one roasted duck leg, twenty copper coins."
The roast duck stall owner stretched out his big, fat hand and said, "That's what the young master with purple hair said."
"Twenty copper coins? Go ahead and rob me!"
The common currency of the Qingxuan Kingdom consists of gold, silver, and copper coins, with a base-1000 system, where gold coins are the highest-value and copper coins are the lowest-value.
Even at the lowest price, one copper coin can still buy two steamed buns, but this roast duck leg costs twenty copper coins, which is clearly a rip-off.
"What's wrong? Your young lady has already eaten, and now she wants to dine and dash?"
Upon hearing this, the stall owner's face immediately darkened. "Let me tell you, there are protection fees collected on this street. If you don't pay up obediently, don't blame me for hiring someone to forcibly collect the money."
He had just realized that the girl and boy were wearing clothes made of very fine materials, and with their overall demeanor, they were clearly wealthy people from the city.
If a wealthy outsider doesn't seize the opportunity to swindle him out of his protection money, how can he possibly recoup the money he's paid?
Anyway, city people are all naive and rich, and easy to fool.
“Master Zhang, this roast duck leg costs only five copper coins, but you’re selling it for several times that price. That’s not right.”
Suddenly, the little boy who was in charge of starting the fire and roasting the duck looked up timidly and said something.
