I'll have to buy some more later, lest I can't afford it.
Cheng Zhou didn't know what someone was muttering in his heart at all, so he leaned on the back of the chair contentedly, touched Xiaoyuan's belly comfortably, and sighed: "The soup dumplings here are delicious, do you have any other specialties here? ?”
If there is, he will try other foods next time, try more, and satisfy his taste buds.
The little belly is obviously full of food, and the light-white fingers are touching the belly back and forth, with an indescribable cuteness.
People can't help but think of a cub of some kind of national treasure.
Huo Yueze suppressed a smile: "Yes, there are also steamed buns, roasted duck with scallions, vegetarian chicken, stir-fried fish balls, mapo tofu, peach cake..."
Deliberately slapped him with a long list of dish names.
Cheng Zhou was dumbfounded: "Are there so many? When I asked others, I never heard of so many delicious ones."
Huo Yueze said in a low voice: "I know a friend, his family's ancestor was the royal chef in the palace, and the bunch of dishes just mentioned are all his specialties, but it's a pity—"
"What a pity?" Cheng Zhou asked.
"It's a pity that he doesn't open a shop and doesn't cook for others, so you can't eat it." Huo Yueze continued to covet him.
"You're sure to be able to eat it, aren't you?" Cheng Zhou was really fooled, and approached Huo Yueze to get close.
The imperial chef in the palace, he had only seen it in history textbooks, and his cooking skills were absolutely superb.
Huo Yueze smiled: "Yeah, I have known him since we were young, you can try his cooking skills if you go with me."
Cheng Zhou forgot his cruel behavior of refusing to be friends before, and said excitedly: "Then next time you go there for dinner, call me, and I will go with you."
"Don't you lack my friend? Why do you still go to eat with me?" Huo Yueze deliberately turned over the old score.
"Meeting is fate, many friends have many paths."
Cheng Zhou's face was not blushing, and his heart was not beating, and he had the cheek to return what he had said.
Huo Yueze: "..."
After being stunned for a moment, Huo Yueze didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "All right, all right, I will definitely bring you with me when I go to eat at his place next time."
"It's okay, don't go back on your word."
Cheng Zhou gave him a sweet smile, and his two pointed canine teeth were also exposed, looking full of vigor.
Huo Yueze stared closely at Cheng Zhou's little tiger teeth, and he didn't know what he thought of. His Adam's apple rolled up and down restlessly, and he moved his legs unnaturally.
After dinner, the two came out to wander the street.
In order to divert his attention, Huo Yueze took the initiative to introduce to Cheng Zhou: "Look at the tall building over there, it's three stories high. It's a department store in Chang'an City. Have you ever been there?"
"I haven't been in, what are they selling?" Cheng Zhou shook his head. These days, he only went to the black market for money and tickets, and he didn't take a good tour of this bustling city.
"I have everything, cloth, wool thread, leather shoes, clam oil, cream, tobacco, wine and pastries, etc., almost everything is sold."
"Clam oil, what is this?" What a strange name.
Cheng Zhou didn't realize at all that his ignorance was completely exposed by a random question he asked.
Clam oil is a common commodity in this era, even in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the village, they will supply this cheapest clam oil.
A large box of clam oil costs only two cents. It is cheap and practical. Most people will buy a box as a spare.
Maybe it's because Cheng Zhou's journey has been so smooth since he came to this era, and now he's actually a little relaxed, forgetting to hide his ignorance for a while.
Huo Yueze paused, his eyes were deep, and he explained: "It's the oil you put on your hands, it can prevent your skin from drying out."
"Oh." Cheng Zhou nodded.
Huo Yueze hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Do you like drinking malted milk?"
"Malted milk? What is that?" Cheng Zhou looked curious, he had never heard of this thing.
Huo Yueze remained calm on the surface, but his heart could not be calm for a long time.
Combined with his own unusual experience, and Cheng Zhou's temperament is incompatible with this place, he suddenly had an incredible guess in his heart.
Huo Yueze settled down, "Malted milk extract is a kind of nutritional product, which tastes similar to baby milk powder. It's sweet and delicious. I'll buy a can for you later, so you can try it."
"I don't drink baby milk powder, so don't buy it for me." Cheng Zhou frowned and said in disgust.
"It's not milk powder. When I buy it, you can drink some and try it."
Huo Yueze laughed. He bet that Cheng Zhou, a snack foodie, would definitely like to drink that kind of sweet and greasy malted milk.
In the end, he fixed his eyes on Cheng Zhou, and then pretended to be casual and asked casually in the next second: "You are here, will you leave?"
"No, unless I don't find a job here and settle down."
Having said that, Cheng Zhou sighed melancholy, "If I don't find a job, I'll have to go back to the village to farm with a hoe."
Imagining that scene, Huo Yueze chuckled and said, "Is that why you don't want to farm?"
If auzw.com wants to find a job here and settle down, it means that this person should not be able to go back.
Could it be that some kind of fortuitous encounter came across time and space inexplicably to come here?
And it came through suddenly?
This unique temperament and good appearance of fine skin and tender flesh are not something that can be cultivated in this poor age.
Cheng Zhou didn't know that someone guessed his origin clearly, and said with a slightly melancholy voice: "No, farming is also pretty good. My aunt's family lives on farming."
After all, Cheng Zhou stretched out two slightly fleshy claws, and said confidently: "Look at my hands, there is not a single hard callus, and I will definitely get blisters when I go to do farm work, I don't want it to hurt so much. "
Huo Yueze: "..."
So in the end, he is still a petite who doesn't want to treat himself badly, doesn't he just want to be lazy and do easy work?
While talking and joking, the two came to a long and narrow yard. Huo Yueze took out his key, unlocked the lock on the gate, and led Cheng Zhou in.
The yard is very small. To be precise, the further you go in, the narrower the width, but relatively longer in depth.
At the end is a bungalow of bricks and tiles, which occupies a small area and is empty inside, with only a dusty canopy bed, a table and two worn-out chairs.
Going further inside, there is a small bathroom on the side, the wall is rough cement surface, and there are two small ventilation windows at the height.
The faucet below is rusty, and there is a toilet next to it, which can be flushed with water. Unfortunately, there is a big hole in the water tank above the corner, and I am afraid it cannot be used.
Cheng Zhou didn't see what's so good about this broken house, he frowned, and said in disgust: "Huo Yueze, are you kidding me? What's so good about this house? It's small and broken."
"What's wrong? Don't look at its small surface, you can measure it with your feet, how far is the distance from front to back?" Huo Yueze said patiently.
He picked this small courtyard early on, and reserved it for himself to move out in the future, but in the end, he was completely disgusted by this man.
Cheng Zhou walked back and forth with big strides, "If I'm the only one living here, the size is barely enough."
Huo Yueze gave him a detailed introduction to the advantages of the house: "The house looks small in width, but in fact, the distance between the front and the back is long enough for two people to live in. Moreover, it is a detached courtyard, and the door is locked, so outsiders can't get in."
"The most important thing is," he pushed open the innermost window of the room and signaled Cheng Zhou to come over and look, "Look here, what's outside?
Cheng Zhou leaned over to look, and there was nothing special about it. There were blue-gray walls on the left and right sides, which was obviously a dead end.
"Aren't they just two walls? What's there to see?" Cheng Zhou asked wonderingly.
Huo Yueze somewhat guessed Cheng Zhou's unusual origin. He probably didn't know much about the normal life of this era, so he simply explained the reason in detail at once.
"If you rent another place, most of the neighbors will live next to each other. To put it bluntly, they will know exactly what you eat, drink, and mess with."
"What do you cook and eat every day? When the smell wafts, everyone knows that you are eating good food. It's too easy to attract people's eyes..."
"But it's different here. The nearest house is several streets away. It has good privacy. You can turn on the small stove as you like, and the smell will waft out. You don't have to worry about being smelled by others." Huo Yueze explained.
Cheng Zhou nodded vigorously, and agreed with his words.
"That's right, that's right, I know this, you can't reveal your wealth, you can't make it public, you have to pretend that you are poor from the beginning to the end."
Huo Yueze laughed and said: "That's right, it's just like what you said, other people's lives are tight, but you just keep eating good food and live a comfortable life there, in case some pink eye disease finds out and reports it, trouble will definitely be inevitable .”
"And the house I live in is small, so it won't attract people's attention." Cheng Zhou concluded.
"Yes, don't think it's broken now. I'll get some cement tomorrow to level the ground. By the way, I'll build a small hearth in the yard. I'll buy some white ash to repaint the walls. In addition, I'll help you clean up the broken places. Fix it, and it will make a big difference."
Cheng Zhou was full of longing after hearing this: "I also want to buy a big wooden barrel, so that it will be very convenient to take a bath every day."
There is obviously no place to take a bath in the bathroom. Don’t even think about such things as bathtubs. Buy a larger wooden barrel and take a bath every day. It’s also very comfortable.
Huo Yueze's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he said calmly: "This is no problem, you can go to a carpenter to order one. As for other things that are missing, you can almost buy them all in a department store."
Cheng Zhou thought about it. In this case, it would be a good choice to live in this house. At least it is a single family courtyard with good enough privacy. He feels quite satisfied.
Cheng Zhou raised his head and asked, "Then do you know the owner of this house?"
"It's me, I bought this yard by myself the year before last." Huo Yueze couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, he could be regarded as abducting this snack to his own territory.
"You bought it? Did you buy it with your own money?"
Cheng Zhou envied, envied and hated, he struggled for eighteen years, but in the end there was only a pile of delicious snacks in the space button, it really compares people to people, it makes people mad!
Huo Yueze saw through Cheng Zhou's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help pinching his cheek, "Yes, I bought it myself, and I'll let you live there."
It really feels smooth and soft.
Cheng Zhou removed Huo Yueze's paw, and said angrily: "A gentleman speaks but does not move, speak well and don't touch."
There were some red marks on his cheeks, his complexion was as white as milk, and there seemed to be a layer of transparent light in his watery eyes.
Huo Yueze turned his eyes away from him, for fear of having another physical reaction.
"If you're going to move in, I'll have to spend a few days tidying up the place."
"What about the rent?" Cheng Zhou asked in advance.
A small button, but inside is a completely independent compressed space.
