After going around in circles, Zhu Yuanyu took Qi Ao and the others to the place where the old couple set up their noodle stall.
Only to find that the place was occupied by a pancake seller.
Walking over, Zhu Yuanyu found that the pancakes were selling well, so he pointed at the pancakes and said, "Here are eight."
The pancake seller nodded with a smile on his face, "Okay! Sir, do you want to eat it now? These pancakes are delicious when eaten while they are hot!"
While he was talking, his hands and feet had already neatly wrapped eight pancakes.
The pancake seller was very observant and noticed that Zhu Yuanyu was accompanied by three followers, so he packed the pancakes separately, two by two, together.
"Eh? Why are you wrapping it in lotus leaves? Is there anything special about it? I've seen others wrap it in oil paper before."
Cui'er reached out to take the pancake, touched the lotus leaf in her hand and said.
The pancake seller was stunned. This was the first time someone had asked him this question in his long history of selling pancakes, so he couldn't answer it for a while.
He took the money handed over by Qi Ao, thought for a while and then smiled: "Actually, I don't know, but my mother said that the pancakes would be more delicious wrapped in washed lotus leaves. She said so, so I did it... "
"oh……"
Cui'er nodded and asked no more questions. She took a small bite of the pancake, her eyes lit up, and she smiled at Zhu Yuanyu: "Master, this pancake is really fragrant, hot, soft, and delicious!" After taking a few more bites, my happy eyes almost narrowed.
Zhu Yuanyu looked at Cui'er's bulging cheeks, glanced down at the pancake in his hand, and took a bite. It was not bad.
Seeing that his master had finished eating, Qi Ao also took a big bite of the pancake in his hand, chewed it, and looked at Li Zhuangzhuang, but found that he was almost finished eating.
Zhu Yuanyu also saw it, so he ordered four more pancakes. He knew that Li Zhuangzhuang had a big appetite, and a few pancakes might not be enough to fill his stomach. It was a pity that there was no old couple setting up the noodle stall, otherwise he would have liked to have some for breakfast. Although the noodles with soup and pancakes are delicious, they are still a bit greasy and dry for morning.
Zhu Yuanyu looked around and finally found a man selling tofu cakes.
But he was in no hurry to go there, he still had questions to "consult" the pancake seller!
He said intentionally or unintentionally: "I didn't seem to see you when I came here yesterday. I remember that this place seemed to be a noodle stall set up by an old couple? Don't you come out to set up a stall every day? In this way, if someone suddenly wants to eat your pancakes, that's not good. Are you hungry?"
The pancake seller laughed, waved his hand quickly and said, "I'm too embarrassed to accept this compliment... The old couple you mentioned, they don't often set up stalls. Alas! I saw them when I went out. It's happening again, and the two old people are suffering! Their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are all sick, and the only remaining relative is still a white-eyed wolf. Everyone in the neighborhood is pitiful, but they also have their own livelihoods, and there are always times when they can't take care of this... No, the nephew of the old couple went to their house to make trouble again early in the morning when the neighbors were out doing business. I tried to persuade me before I left, but I got scolded back! I don’t know what to do now. , there seemed to be a few neighbors trying to persuade me... What the hell is this! Hey, sorry, sorry! Look at my irresponsible mouth, I'm spitting bitterness at you again..."
"Oh my God! There is such a nephew in the world? It's too much! Why don't you report it to the official? What the hell nephew!"
Before Cui'er could swallow the pancake in her mouth, she started to curse, almost choked, and hit her chest with her pink fist repeatedly.
Something flashed through Zhu Yuanyu's mind, but it was vague but unclear, and then he laughed angrily at Cui Er's suppressed blush.
"Don't you know that you have to swallow what's in your mouth before you can speak? Isn't it ugly to choke to death like this? It seems that all the rules you learn in daily life are in vain!"
Although the tone was scolding, his hand quickly patted Tweety's back, and then she gave Tweety a comfortable expression.
"Ha--almost choked me to death!"
Zhu Yuanyu and Qi Ao both rolled their eyes at her.
After this time, Cui'er felt that she was a little rude, and she finally returned to the manners of a girl. She no longer ate pancakes in large gulps, but in small sips, for fear that she would choke again and make a joke.
Seeing that Cui'er seemed fine, the pancake seller quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if a customer choked to death while eating pancakes in front of his stall, he would never think of selling pancakes in the future, and he might even be involved in someone else's life. There's a lawsuit!
Amitabha, sin, sin!
"So the old couple doesn't even have a relative who can really help? Why is their nephew making trouble?" Zhu Yuanyu narrowed his eyes and asked.
Although the pancake seller was a little surprised that an outsider like him actually cared about an old couple he had never met, he also felt that if one more person knew about the old couple's situation, it might be more helpful. Maybe there was a noble person among them! So he was happy to answer Zhu Yuanyu's questions.
"Hey! It's not just for money! The house the old couple lives in now was bought by them before. Their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are gone. That bastard just wants to adopt him into their home, and he doesn't even think about what happens if he adopts him. , then who will inherit his family's incense! He is an unfilial son who is ruthless and ruthless! If I had such a descendant, I would definitely beat him to death with a stick, so as not to harm the villagers! "
The pancake seller spoke with righteous indignation, as if he wanted everyone to seek justice for the old couple, and spittle flew out.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't expect that his attack range was so wide, and he was hit accidentally.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to wipe it, but Qi Ao couldn't see it and wiped it for him with a light touch of his calloused palm.
The pancake seller finally realized his uncivilized behavior and quickly explained: "You can eat my pancakes with confidence! Absolutely not!"
It’s better not to say anything!
Absolutely nothing?
Zhu Yuanyu looked at the half pancake left in his hand and suddenly couldn't eat it. He missed the old couple's pasta very much. At least there wouldn't be any unknown additives in it.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanyu remained silent, the pancake seller smiled, but no one knew about his inner grievances. He really wanted to go home and talk to his mother about this huge misunderstanding!
After drinking the sweet and smooth bean curd, Zhu Yuanyu finally suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
After eating and drinking, the next step is to take a walk to eat.
As I was slipping away, I was stopped by someone.
"That's him! You read that right! Mr. Tao just had a conversation with him last night and then disappeared! The clothes he was wearing were the same as last night!"
Zhu Yuanyu frowned when he was pointed at. He didn't like the person who spoke, and the jealousy on his face was too obvious.
He didn't do anything to offend that person. He was just a stranger. How could he have such hatred?
The man didn't know what was enough, so he pointed at Zhu Yuanyu and said with a malicious smile: "You kid! Why don't you call me here quickly! What did you do to Mr. Tao!"
Ouch, this is an interrogation of a prisoner!
Zhu Yuanyu suddenly became unhappy. If he was unhappy, his subordinates would be angry.
Li Zhuangzhuang's tall body stood forward and said in a loud voice: "Where did the bug come from! How dare you talk to my young master like this! Are you too impatient to live?"
Once the muscles are bulging, there is a strong tendency to kill anyone who dares to come forward, and it will scare the people who are shouting on the opposite side into shrinking their necks.
Lao Ta stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said politely: "Sir, my young master ended up with you last night. Can you please tell me the whereabouts of my young master? Tao Zhai will definitely pay you for finding my young master!"
He is still a bit arrogant. There is no one in Youxi City who will not give Tao family face. He made that person scream earlier just to scare the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party seems to have some status, and he will not take soft and hard. So he carried out the Tao family and planned to use his power to force the other party to reveal the whereabouts of Mr. Tao, and finally added a inducement.
Lao Ta felt that if the other party was a smart man, he should explain everything clearly at this time, so as not to go against the Tao family, the dominant force in Youxi City.
But he never expected that Zhu Yuanyu was a person who acted irrationally.
Zhu Yuanyu curled his lips, thinking that he was a mountain king, waved his hands very proudly, and shouted: "Young men, follow me, your king, to fight!"
Lao Ta almost made his nose crooked with anger. He had never seen such a stupid young man. He sighed inwardly and waved. After receiving the order, the servants behind him immediately geared up and rushed out in a chaotic manner. Seize the first victory - capturing the main character Zhu Yuanyu.
Unexpectedly, after just a few moves, most of the person fell down, wailing in pain everywhere.
Qi Ao and Li Zhuangzhuang had a perfect tacit understanding and blocked the crowd tightly. Zhu Yuanyu was knocked down without even touching a corner of his clothes.
Seeing the servants being wiped out without even touching anyone, Lao Ta felt that the toothache he had suffered for many years had started to reappear, and it was painful.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"
Cui'er danced with a pair of pink fists like a tiger and a tiger, and her two slender arms rolled like wheels. The only shortcoming was that she didn't dare to look at people, so she accidentally hit her own side.
"Ouch!"
Li Zhuangzhuang just wanted to walk back to the young master, but who knew that his balls were brutally attacked, causing him to howl involuntarily in pain.
Zhu Yuanyu glanced at Cui'er speechlessly, whose face turned red due to excitement, and sighed: This is really a farce.
