This is inside the city gate.
She had already entered the western district of the royal city.
Moreover, she didn't pay any price, but just pretended to be a mute girl with a miserable life to win the man's sympathy.
Not only did he not ask her to pay the hare as an entrance fee, he also issued her an entry permit.
Things went even more smoothly than she expected.
Xia Chujian actually felt a little uncomfortable.
How could it be so smooth?
Xia Chujian looked down at herself.
This modified one-piece military uniform is no longer camouflage-colored, but a slightly dirty coarse yellow, not much different from those of ordinary people entering the city.
Is this the reason?
Xia Chujian was holding three fat rabbits in one hand and the entry permit in the other. He was standing at the entrance to the west district of the royal city, looking around with a bit of curiosity.
Her Shao Siming black and silver mecha was now hidden in the red spider lily necklace around her neck, so Qi Lu did not come out to show her the way.
She had to rely on herself to find the butcher shop where Xiao Mo's father, Lao Mo, worked.
She recalled the three-dimensional map of the West District that she had seen on the eyepiece display screen before, compared it with the landmark buildings at her current location, and quickly locked on the direction.
She needed to go three blocks forward to reach the neighborhood where Lao Mo lived.
The West District is indeed a commercial district.
The buildings here do not have a unified style and look varied, but they all specifically meet the needs of the operators.
The buildings are not tall, they are all low two-story buildings, but the construction quality is obviously much better than that of the villages outside.
The streets are very wide and two-way, and you can often see four carriages going towards each other.
The crowd was surging and shoulder to shoulder.
The pedestrians here included those like Xia Chujian, who were dressed in ordinary and worn clothes, and there were also rich people wearing silk and satin, and there were even people wearing various high-tech military uniforms.
People wearing military uniforms are divided into natural persons and robots.
At this time, Xia Chujian realized the inconvenience of humanoid robots.
Too easy to be confused with a natural person.
She actually didn't know whether the Beichen Empire's ban on robots with human-like appearance was a good or bad thing, but she could now understand the underlying logic.
The shops on both sides of the street display a wide variety of goods, which are so dazzling that it is almost overwhelming.
She could recognize some of the products, but had no idea what some of them were used for and could only look at them out of curiosity.
After walking along the bustling crowd for a while, Xia Chujian crossed three street corners and finally saw the butcher shop of Lao Mo's father.
Because his butcher shop stands out most on the whole street.
Literally bulge out.
His butcher's stall was about ten centimeters further forward than other shops.
Ten centimeters may not seem noticeable, but it becomes very eye-catching when hung with meats of different colors.
Xia Chujian stood not far from the butcher shop and watched quietly for a while.
There is a curtain hanging above the butcher shop with the words "Lao Mo Butcher Shop" written on it.
Below the butcher shop, several people were queuing there, looking to buy meat.
The one trading with Lao Mo at this time was a robot soldier in military uniform.
He spoke in a low voice, but it was very penetrating, and his tone was rigid with almost no ups and downs.
To Xia Chujian, this was a pure electronic synthesized sound, but it was much less emotional than Xiaofei and Qilu's electronic synthesized sounds.
There was no expression on the robot soldier's face, which matched perfectly with the flat electronic synthesized sound, and it didn't even feel out of place.
Xia Chujian watched with great interest.
The robot soldier looked at the meat that Lao Mo handed over, picked it up and weighed it, then said calmly, "Lao Mo, you're shortchanging me again."
Lao Mo chuckled and chopped a long, thin strip of meat on the chopping board with a short, wide cleaver. He handed it to the robot soldier and said, "Your Excellency, what are you talking about? We are a small business that relies on integrity. We never cheat or shortchange people!"
"But since you have said so, I will accept it. This is my compensation to you, is that all right now?"
The robot soldier glanced at Lao Mo, as if feeling the weight of the slender strip of meat.
After a while, he nodded, handed Lao Mo a few coins, and turned to leave.
After the robot soldier left, a middle-aged woman wearing a double-breasted jacket and loose coarse cloth trousers appeared.
She counted out a few coins to Lao Mo and said dissatisfiedly, "Lao Mo, the meat you sold me last time was a full 1.8 cents short!"
"You must make it up to me this time!"
Old Mo continued to laugh and said, "Aunt Cen, how can it be so much as one and a half qian?! It's only one and a half qian at most!"
"Here, this time I, Old Mo, will give you a small bonus of 1.5 cents! Is that enough?"
The middle-aged woman called Aunt Cen smiled happily: "That's more like it!"
What she bought was a piece of blackened meat.
It’s not that it’s not fresh, it’s just that the original color of the meat is black.
Xia Chujian looked at the fat rabbit in his hand and finally stepped forward.
She did not go to the back of the line to line up, but went straight to the front, raised the fat rabbit in her hand to Lao Mo, gestured, and asked him if he would accept game.
Lao Mo turned his head and looked over. Seeing that it was Xia Chujian, he was stunned for a moment.
However, his expression didn't change much, still maintaining that 60% honest and 40% cunning smile, and said, "Hey! It's our girl!"
"Quick! Go inside and rest for a while! Why did you bring the hare?"
Xia Chujian was holding three plump wild rabbits and pointing to the meat hanging in Lao Mo's butcher shop, indicating that they were for him.
