Chapter 0087 Madman
Qu Yunmie returned to the tent with the letter, first took off the heaviest pieces of armor on his body, then sat down on the mat with a bang, and began to write a letter to Xiao Rong.
Three days later, the letter arrived in Xiao Rong's hands. Xiao Rong looked at the full page of Qu Yunmie's "You must eat well" and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Without any detours, Xiao Rong came to the Buddhist's residence and asked him bluntly, "You betrayed me?"
The Buddhist looked at the letter in his hand and was silent for a moment. He said, "To be precise, I did not betray you. I just carried out the order given by the king."
Xiao Rong gritted his teeth, but finally snorted coldly: "Double agent."
After saying that, he left, and Mi Jing looked at his back as he left. After a long while, he also responded with a sentence: "Birds of a feather."...
But from that day on, Xiao Rong's appetite seemed to have increased a little. Although he ate less at each meal, at least he had returned to three meals a day. Seeing this, other people in the palace were not so worried.
Xiao Rong felt that they were making a big deal out of nothing, because Xiao Rong still didn't understand this era well enough. In this era, the amount of food one eats reveals a lot.
When medical technology was not well developed, people always got sick for unknown reasons, and some even died before showing any symptoms. To judge whether there was something wrong with a person's body, one would first look at his complexion, and secondly at his appetite.
Many people become increasingly weak and eventually die after their appetite suddenly decreases.
Xiao Rong himself is a very weak person, so it's no wonder that everyone is particularly worried.
Now it’s better. People are still worried, but not as worried as before.
As the days passed, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived in a blink of an eye. At that time, the Mid-Autumn Festival was not called Mid-Autumn Festival, but Zhongqiu. But no matter what the name is, as the day when the moon is the biggest and brightest in the whole year, it has always been one of the Central Plains people’s favorite festivals.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived. Even though he is living in troubled times, Xiao Rong wants to relax. He gave most people in the palace and government offices holidays, and gave some silver and fruits to those who did not have holidays, trying to make everyone happy during this festival.
Zhang Biezhi invited Xiao Rong to go to Baibao Street with them to play. Xiao Rong felt that it was inappropriate to go alone, so he brought two children from the palace, Xiao Yi and Danran. Song Suo insisted on squeezing in, and Di Fazeng brought another team of people to protect their safety.
He had only heard of her name but never seen her in person. Until today, Xiao Rong finally saw what Zhang looked like. She was a beautiful woman. Because she had never suffered any hardship, she looked particularly gentle and quiet. The two children were fine. Xiao Rong and Song Shuo subconsciously stood up straight and saluted Zhang together.
"Meet Mrs. Jane."
It was also the first time that Zhang had seen the two of them. She smiled gently and bent her knees: "My concubine greets Mr. Xiao and Mr. Song."
Knowing that her presence made them uncomfortable, Zhang took a few steps forward and smiled at Danran, who immediately ran over and introduced himself in a familiar manner.
Behind Zhang, Xiao Rong was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Jian Qiao is so lucky."
Song Suo moved his legs awkwardly and said unconvincedly: "What's the big deal? I want to marry someone who is more gentle and generous in the future."
Zhang Biezhi was originally counting whether all the things he brought were complete. Upon hearing this, he immediately made a very loud and sarcastic nasal sound. He also deliberately walked in front of Song Shuo and looked him up and down, especially looking at the top of his head.
Then, he curled his lips sarcastically and made a sarcastic nasal sound.
Song Shuo: “…”
Xiao Rong looked at him and said to him considerately, "Perhaps you didn't understand what he meant. I can explain it to you. The first humph means that you, a toad, want to eat swan meat. The second hum means, wow, there are still toads this short?"
Song Suo: “…………” They are all bad guys!! …
Recently, several entertainment venues have opened on Baibao Street, providing singing and dancing services. As long as they don't provide that kind of service, Xiao Rong doesn't care what these businesses do. If the dancing and singing are good, he is willing to come and spend money.
However, he brought his children with him today, and he didn't know if there were any scenes inappropriate for children in these places, so Xiao Rong and others did not go in.
Everyone first went shopping in various shops, and took advantage of the discounts to buy some things they liked. Xiao Rong bought a set of four treasures of the study for Xiao Yi, and a set of ready-made clothes for Danran. Danran had always been wearing the clothes of the Butewu tribe, but Agusega didn't let Danran wear them, regardless of whether she could wear clothes from the Central Plains or not, simply because they didn't know how to make them. The Zhenbei Army and the Butewu tribe only became rich this year, and they would not have spent so much money on clothes before.
After buying many bags of things, they asked the guards to send them back to the palace first. Then, the group went to a restaurant.
The information on the notice board is updated every few days, with life tips, recipes, and common knowledge posted randomly. Nowadays, the owners of major restaurants will get up early on the update day and stand by the notice board to see if there are any new recipes. If there are new ones, they will copy them down immediately and read them to the chef.
Every restaurant makes a different taste from the same recipe, and in order to compete with their peers, each restaurant will make special improvements. Some of the dishes remain the same after the improvements, while some of the dishes become new dishes after the improvements, and they taste very good.
Today's sponsor is Xiao Rong. He is so wealthy that he ordered all the dishes from this restaurant. This restaurant is the largest restaurant on Baibao Street and now it is also the most lively place in Chenliu City. Coincidentally, the owner of this restaurant is one of those wealthy families.
The restaurant owner had met Xiao Rong before, and he quickly offered to give Xiao Rong a free bill. After all, Xiao Rong was their bread and butter, so he didn't even need to ask his boss for permission for such a small matter, he could make the decision on his own. Of course, the result would have been the same even if he had asked for permission. If Xiao Rong hadn't forced them to open a store here, how would they have had the opportunity to make so much money.
The restaurant owner knew that Young Master Xiao was a gentleman and he would definitely not want to take advantage of the restaurant. The owner was already prepared to persuade him several times, and then he saw Xiao Rong's eyes light up.
"Free? Okay, are the drinks free? If so, give each of us a pot of osmanthus wine."
Shopkeeper: “…”
He stared at Xiao Rong blankly, and Xiao Rong had already turned his head to taste the tea. Zhang Biezhi was originally happy, but when he saw that the shopkeeper had not left, he suddenly became unhappy: "Why, do you regret it?"
The shopkeeper shuddered and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no."
Zhang Biezhi: "Then hurry up and serve the food! If you delay our show, you won't be able to participate in the year-end Best Store Selection!"
Shopkeeper: “…………”
The shopkeeper left in a daze, and the waiters quickly brought up the dishes and wine. The shopkeeper stood behind the counter, with a deep lesson in mind.
In fact, their family was fine, even if they were given a free meal, they couldn't save much, but the owner was about to open a rare treasure shop, and it was to be opened in cooperation with the caravan of Qiuci. Everything there was worth a hundred gold coins. Next time he saw the owner of the family, he had to remind him not to be polite to the people of Zhenbei Army! You must not be polite to the people of Zhenbei Army, otherwise you will suffer a great loss! ...
The restaurant sells wine in jugs, and the capacity of a jug of wine is only two taels. Each person is served a jug, which is just over a kilogram. Xiao Rong only took a sip to taste it, and Dan Ran did the same. Xiao Yi drank a glass. In fact, at Xiao Yi's age, no one would restrict him from drinking, but Xiao Rong asked him not to drink too much under the pretext of maintaining health. Xiao Yi always listened to Xiao Rong, so he naturally just took a sip.
The rest was divided up by Zhang Biezhi and others.
What surprised Xiao Rong was that Zhang also drank one cup after another and did not show any sign of being drunk at all. She even commented on the wine in this restaurant to her brother. In the end, she came to the conclusion that it was definitely not home-brewed, but bought from a nearby village. The fragrance of osmanthus mixed with the fragrance of soil gave it a unique flavor.
Xiao Rong: “…”
I can drink more than him.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, the group moved on to the next stop, the theater.
