Bai Gu carried Bai Xiaoxiao on his back and walked slowly to Yunshui City, talking and laughing along the way.
Lingding Lane is about five miles away from the main city of Yunshui City. Although this stretch of road is already a daily routine for Bai Gu, he can run from Lingding Lane to Yunshui City in one breath without breathing.
It's just that Bai Xiaoxiao is still young and stays at home all year round, rarely moving around. Bai Gu was afraid that she would be too tired from walking, or might lose strength and faint on the way, so he carried her on his back not long after leaving Lingding Alley.
Bai Gu was afraid that Bai Xiaoxiao would feel uncomfortable bumps on his back, so he deliberately slowed down.
But luckily, I can get to town in time before lunch.
Bai Gu put Bai Xiaoxiao down, took her little hand, and asked her to follow him.
Bai Xiaoxiao looked around with his big bright eyes, amazed by everyone and everything on the roadside and passing by.
Although Bai Xiaoxiao has been here once, last time he was injured and comatose, so he didn't know anything when he came. As for leaving, it was because it was approaching evening and many vendors and shops on the street had closed and went home, so Bai Xiaoxiao did not see the lively market.
Today is the first time Bai Xiaoxiao has truly seen the appearance of Yunshui City.
Bai Gu smiled and rubbed Bai's little head, "Let's go, let's eat first. It's already noon. What do you want to eat?"
"dumpling!"
"Okay." Bai Gu took Bai Xiaoxiao's hand and walked towards the dumpling restaurant.
Bai Gu led Bai Xiaoxiao into the dumpling restaurant and handed the menu on the table to Bai Xiaoxiao, "Take a look first. What fillings do you want to eat?"
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the unfamiliar words on it and pouted, "Brother, I don't understand."
Only then did Bai Gu remember that Bai Xiaoxiao was also illiterate like himself.
Bai Gu smiled and put the menu back on the table, "Then don't think about it and just order."
Bai Gu waved the waiter over, "Just two taels of all types of dumplings in your store."
The rich waiter looked at the two children in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled honestly, "There are seven or eight kinds of dumplings in our store. If you two order so many, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish them all."
Bai Gu waved his hand, "It's okay. I have a big appetite and can finish it. If it doesn't work, we can pack it up and go home to eat."
The waiter was relieved and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll place the order right away."
After a while, the waiter came with eight plates full of steaming dumplings.
Pork and green onion dumplings, sauerkraut and pork dumplings, shepherd's purse and pork dumplings, mutton and carrot dumplings, beef and green onion dumplings, zucchini and egg dumplings, leek and egg dumplings, and three delicacies dumplings.
"The dumplings have been served. If you need anything, call me." The waiter said with a smile.
Bai Gu nodded.
Bai Gu took a pair of chopsticks to Bai Xiaoxiao, "Eat it while it's hot, the dumplings here are quite delicious."
Bai Xiaoxiao took the chopsticks and reached for the nearest plate of three-fresh dumplings. He picked one and blew on it before taking a bite.
There was a hole in the three fresh dumplings, and the juices from the meat filling immediately flowed out.
Bai Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Brother! These dumplings are so delicious! There is soup in them!"
Bai Xiaoxiao showed the dumplings to Bai Gu again, "Brother, look! It's such a big shrimp! No wonder it's so delicious!"
Bai Gu smiled so hard that he narrowed his eyes, full of doting, "If it's delicious, eat more of it, and try other dumplings, maybe they'll be better."
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, ate half of the three fresh dumplings held with chopsticks, and then tasted the dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions, zucchini and eggs, mutton and carrots, and beef and green onions. Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. The light of surprise is always flashing and never stops.
"this is delicious!"
“This is delicious too!”
"It's delicious! It's all delicious!"
"Brother! Look, it's beef! It smells so good!"
"..."
Bai Gu was still smiling. Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao's happy face because he had eaten something delicious, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, "Eat slowly, don't choke, no one will compete with you."
Bai Xiaoxiao was chewing dumplings filled with shepherd's purse and pork.
She looked at Bai Gu, who had not moved his chopsticks, and asked while chewing the dumplings: "Brother, why don't you eat it? Didn't you say that dumplings should be eaten while they are hot to be delicious?"
Bai Gu then took a pair of chopsticks, put a dumpling stuffed with leek and egg into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and then said with a smile: "Isn't this eaten?"
Bai Xiaoxiao pouted, "Brother, you are cheating again!"
Bai Gu laughed, "Eat, eat, I'm afraid that if I move my chopsticks, you won't be able to eat. If so, I won't be polite."
Then Bai Gu moved his chopsticks, and two or three dumplings went into his mouth. After just chewing a few times, Bai Gu swallowed the dumpling.
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Bai Gu eating in such a hearty way, and then he speeded up the back and forth between his chopsticks and his mouth.
However, Bai Xiaoxiao is just an ordinary little girl, her appetite is far less than that of a half-grown boy like Bai Gu, and it is still unusually exaggerated. So Bai Xiaoxiao just tasted all eight kinds of dumplings, ate a few more, and was full.
Bai Xiaoxiao rubbed his belly and muttered: "The dumplings are delicious, but I'm too full now and can't eat any more. What a pity!"
Bai Gu smiled and poured all the remaining dumplings on the table onto a plate, including about a dozen dumplings.
Bai Gu threw three dumplings into his mouth in one breath, "It's okay. If you think they taste good, we can eat them again tonight."
Bai Xiaoxiao shook his head, "No, brother, this dumpling shouldn't be cheap, right? Aren't we going on a long trip? We'd better save some money and just eat something at night."
Bai Gu smiled and said, "It's okay. I have money now, so I can still have another meal."
Bai Xiaoxiao pouted again, "Brother, it's better to save some flowers and don't waste them like this."
Bai Gu could only nod his head, "Okay, okay, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you want."
Bai Xiaoxiao's pouted mouth relaxed a little.
Bai Gu swept the remaining dumplings into his mouth as he spoke.
At this time, he was chewing the last dumpling, "Xiaoxiao, you stay here well first, I'll go check out."
"good."
But when Bai Gu came back after paying the bill, not only were the plates on the table clean, but most importantly, Bai Xiaoxiao beside the table was missing!
Bai Gu's pupils shrank instantly.
"Xiao Xiao!"
Bai Gu yelled, and his heart started to panic with the yell.
Bai Gu quickly grabbed the waiter at the side and said, "Brother, have you seen my sister? She was sitting here just now!"
The honest-looking waiter thought for a moment, then pointed in the direction of the door, "She seemed to have followed someone out just now."
"Thank you!" Bai Gu thanked him quickly, then ran away, and walked out of the dumpling house in a few steps.
Bai Gu looked around in panic on the street, searching for Bai's small figure.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaoxiao was standing on the opposite side of the road from the dumpling restaurant. When Bai Gu looked over, she was standing on tiptoes, waving to him.
Bai Gu's heart finally calmed down a little.
Then Bai Gu turned his attention to the person standing next to Bai Xiaoxiao.
