Chapter 442 Hu Shanshan Extra (1)
Early morning is the busiest time of the day in the capital's market, with every shop crowded with people.
The doors of every shop were filled with people buying rice, vegetables, and cloth. They all wanted to be the first to come and buy the best and freshest goods.
The shop with the most people in front of it is Li’s Butcher Shop at the west entrance of the city. The meat they sell is fresh and they have the widest variety.
In addition to the common beef, mutton, pork and chicken, there are also rare rabbit meat, venison, musk deer, poultry, etc.
Worried about not being used to other meats? No problem, they also offer tasting service. They have steamed meat hanging in front of the door. If you like the taste, it’s not too late to buy it later.
Of course, doing so will naturally attract some people who don't buy meat but just want to taste it, but Boss Li is generous and doesn't care about those people, as long as they don't block the door and keep tasting the meat.
I didn't expect that there would be such a shameless person coming today, and she is a young and beautiful girl.
Hearing that they could taste the meat, the one with nimble hands tore the meat off the deer leg hanging in front of the door.
Before I could take one bite, another one was already torn and held in my hand.
While eating, he kept glancing at the other meat, especially the raw pieces, as if he was afraid that they would be snatched away by the people behind him.
She also had excellent psychological quality. Even when the shop assistants and the people around her pointed at her with disgust, she acted as if they didn't hear anything and continued to eat happily.
In a short while, the deer leg was torn off completely, leaving only the white skeleton.
Considering that this girl is beautiful and well-dressed, why would she be so greedy for such a bargain?
Seeing that she wanted to eat something else, Boss Li finally couldn't help it.
"You little girl, you seem to come from a pretty good family, but don't you understand that you have to pay for your meals?"
The girl immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at Boss Li with a pair of blank and innocent eyes and said, "Pay, pay... They didn't pay either."
She was referring to the guests who had tasted the food earlier.
Boss Li is not young anymore and has a big business. He has seen a lot of things in the world, but he was dazzled by these eyes. He felt like giving the whole butcher shop to her willingly.
He quickly rubbed his face, forced himself to wake up, and shouted: "Didn't you see they just took a bite and left!"
The girl exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" "I, I thought they left because they thought it wasn't tasty."
After she finished speaking, the onlookers all burst into laughter. Only Boss Li didn't know whether she really didn't understand or was just pretending to be stupid.
She wiped her greasy hands on her skirt, which was obviously worth a lot of money, took out a handful of something from her bosom and handed it to Boss Li.
"I'll pay! Is this enough?" She had a handful of broken jade in her palm.
Although it is not formed, it is crystal clear and is obviously a top-grade jade!
"Enough, enough, enough!" Boss Li took it hurriedly. This was more than enough to buy a deer leg, it was more than enough to eat up all the food in the shop.
He waved his hand and said, "No business today! I'm going to entertain this young lady!"
Then he instructed the clerk: "Go and move out all the cooked meats in the store!"
Plates of various meats were placed in front of the girl.
"Wow, are these all for me?" The girl's eyes lit up.
"Yes, girl, you can eat as much meat as you want." Boss Li even brought a stool to the girl himself.
He has now confirmed that this is the naive young lady who was kept in seclusion by some noble family.
If he treated them well now, someone from the mansion would come to visit him later, and maybe he could make friends with them.
The girl was delighted to see the meat. As she started eating, she muttered, "It's delicious! The rumors are all false. You are all good people!"
Boss Li didn't understand what she was saying, so he found a corner and secretly admired the pieces of jade.
But the onlookers did not leave. They looked at the girl with interest to see how much she could eat.
You have to know that for an ordinary lady, even a small piece of the deer leg would be enough to fill her up.
Unexpectedly, the girl had no intention of stopping and ate two more squabs and a portion of pork head.
She even became happier the more she ate, and couldn't help twisting her body.
Just as she was eating with great enthusiasm and everyone was watching, a furry white tail suddenly stretched out from behind her.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, thinking they were seeing things. When was the tail installed?
But when the tail started wagging happily, they were almost scared to death.
"There's a monster!" "It's a female monster!"
They all ran away shouting.
Poor Boss Li, he was closest to the female monster and didn't even dare to run, for fear that he would become the monster's food in the big basin of meat.
Only the girl put down the rabbit leg in confusion, looking around at a loss.
Why did everyone run away?
At this time, a young man in luxurious clothes appeared in the crowd and walked towards the girl against the fleeing crowd, as if he was not afraid of monsters at all.
He stood beside the girl and whispered with a smile, "Girl, your tail is showing."
Hu Shanshan looked into the man's eyes and let out a soft cry, almost dropping her rabbit legs to the ground.
This man's appearance wasn't particularly good-looking—at least not as handsome as those of her tribesmen—but he had a gentle and elegant temperament and graceful demeanor, which none of her tribesmen had. He seemed to be a scholar!
and……
Wait, tail!
She immediately covered her tail, and it took her a while before she remembered to use her spiritual power to retract it.
Oops! I was eating so happily that my tail popped out.
Uncle Big Ear said that she must not reveal her fox form in the human world, otherwise she would scare people away and might even attract a fortune teller to capture her!
And the person in front of me...
"You, you know I'm a monster, aren't you afraid of me?" Hu Shanshan asked curiously.
Only then did she take a closer look at the other person's clothes.
The outer shirt had a black background and was embroidered with patterns in gold thread. It was better than any she had seen in the ready-made clothing store.
She must be a very remarkable person, no wonder she is not afraid of him.
Oh no, could it be a fortune teller?!
The visitor couldn't help laughing when he saw Hu Shanshan's expression changing from curiosity to understanding and then fear.
"I can tell from the first sight that the girl is kind and innocent. Even if she is a demon, she won't have any evil intentions, so I'm not afraid."
"Thank you!" Hu Shanshan thought for a moment and bowed straight to him.
Even though she paid, she didn't dare to continue eating and turned around and ran to a place with fewer people.
…Everyone in the butcher shop breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, young lady, wait a moment!" The young man immediately stopped her. "You just caused a bit of a commotion, which might attract monks from the Imperial Observatory. You'd better find a safe place to hide for a while."
Monks? The foxes are most afraid of monks and Taoist priests!
"Then, where should I hide?" Hu Shanshan asked anxiously.
"Uh..." The young man thought seriously, "Well, if you don't mind, you can come to my house and rest for a while. It won't be too late to leave after the monks leave."
