Chai Zhanwen just smiled and mentally denied it, and then he looked seriously at the county government office opposite the porridge shop.
Chai Zhanwen saw stone lions placed on the left and right sides of the county government office.
It's just that the shape of the lion doesn't seem to be consistent with what he knows. Maybe he hasn't observed it carefully.
Between the two stone lions are several stone steps, which Chai Zhanwen would have thought looked like white marble.
But after Chai Zhanwen thought about it, he smiled and denied it in his heart.
Because this is only the seat of the county government and not a royal palace in the capital, white marble will not be used directly.
The county government office is located on the stone steps, and the two red-painted wooden doors are tightly closed.
There is a plaque hanging in the middle above the gate with the word "county government" written on it.
There is also a small door on the left and right sides, but they are also closed.
But there is a Dengwen drum placed near the small door on the right.
This reminded Chai Zhanwen of a scenario where injustice leads to anger.
At this time, there were two government officials standing outside the county government office holding knives with one hand. They were wearing black clothes and they were the guards of the county government office.
What Chai Zhanwen felt at this time was majesty and some kind of majesty.
In front of the county government office is a road paved with stone slabs, on which many pedestrians are walking.
Chai Zhanwen saw traffickers and lackeys, merchants and nobles, children from wealthy families, and people supporting the old and young in ragged clothes. Their clothes were all different...
"Sir, the porridge you requested is ready." The waiter brought a bowl of porridge over on a tray.
Chai Zhanwen saw that what was placed in front of him was a small ceramic bowl. In fact, the white porridge inside could be eaten in just a few big mouthfuls.
In addition, there is a bronze mirror and a pair of chopsticks on the tray.
The waiter first handed the chopsticks to Chai Zhanwen, and then handed the bronze mirror to Chai Zhanwen.
"Sir, this is the bronze mirror you want."
When the waiter brought the bronze mirror to Chai Zhanwen, he had a curious expression on his face.
What he thought of was: before eating porridge, you have to look in the bronze mirror. What kind of custom is this? Isn't it a new custom in this county?
Chai Zhanwen's move was to quickly take the bronze mirror and look at himself instead of drinking porridge first.
"Well, nothing really changed."
Chai Zhanwen said to himself after confirming.
But the waiter kept standing next to Chai Zhanwen, "Sir, it's only two cents."
Chai Zhanwen suddenly realized that he needed to pay, and he should be penniless. After all, he had just traveled here.
But Chai Zhanwen was not worried about anything. He slowly placed the bronze mirror on the table, but then he picked it up and placed it on the tray.
After that, Chai Zhanwen drank the porridge calmly, but he felt it was better to wait until it was colder before drinking, so he put his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl.
The waiter on the side just lowered his hands and silently watched Chai Zhanwen's every move.
Next, Chai Zhanwen touched his sleeves, thinking that there might be some copper coins.
But the result was that there was none, and he also tried to look for it in the robe he was wearing, but he also did not find any items such as money bags.
A look of embarrassment slowly appeared on Chai Zhanwen's face.
Chai Zhanwen really didn't expect that the first thing he would encounter when he traveled through time was: after ordering food, he found out that he was penniless!
"This is not the first time I've met someone like you! You look well dressed. Why can't you even pay for a bowl of porridge?"
At this time, the tone of the man's words and the expression on his face began to change accordingly.
The clerk pointed at the county government office behind him and continued: "The county government office is across from here. Why don't you take a look at where this place is first! Sir, you don't think you can skip paying, do you? Besides, you Do you know who the owner of this porridge shop is?"
Chai Zhanwen knew the difference as soon as he heard it. Besides, it was naturally not that simple to open a porridge shop in a shop opposite the county government office.
Although the decoration in this porridge shop doesn’t look very good!
Chai Zhanwen didn't look at the waiter. He just felt that after such a long time, he was still the only one in this porridge shop. Is this normal?
Chai Zhanwen picked up the chopsticks again.
At the same time, he was thinking silently: If it were in the real world I lived in before, would I possibly encounter such a thing today? Besides, why on earth did I travel through time? But the question now is how should I respond?
"Okay, it seems that you really didn't bring any money today, sir, so don't blame me!"
As the waiter spoke, he started to push up his sleeves, and he also took advantage of the situation to show that he wanted to teach Chai Zhanwen a lesson directly, and the childishness on his face had long since disappeared!
Chai Zhanwen felt quite helpless. Of course he didn't want to conflict with the store clerk.
But even if he went to the county government office to argue, he was still unreasonable, not to mention that Chai Zhanwen now knew that this porridge shop seemed to be related to someone in the county government office.
Chai Zhanwen thought that he could borrow two pennies, but who would he borrow from?
Although there were so many pedestrians passing by outside the porridge shop, who did he know in this world after time travel?
