Chapter 315 Steamed Buns

"You still collect firewood for them?"

Zhang Xiaohua was a little speechless. When he was a child, he also went up the mountain to collect firewood. However, the eldest brother and the second brother took turns following him, only giving him a small bundle of firewood to carry. The feeling was still fresh in his memory.

"Yes, otherwise they will have to spend an extra two cents to buy firewood in the tea shed."

Ji Xiaohua said with a smile.

Seeing that there were not many people walking around, Zhang Xiaohua's childish heart grew. He put the long sword on the road and said with a smile: "Then you can take it. If you can take it, I will give you an extra penny every day. However, if you can't take it, If you move, I’ll deduct a penny from you every day.”

"Ah!!! It's true. Master, please don't lie to me."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "How could I lie to you? You can get it for me."

Ji Xiaohua stepped forward with joy, grabbed the middle of the long sword with her little hand, and lifted it up, but the long sword was motionless on the ground. Ji Xiaohua was shocked, took the small package off her shoulder, and walked to the long sword. He grabbed both sides of the long sword with both hands at the same time and lifted it up with all his strength. Unfortunately, even though he tried his best and his face turned red from suppressing it, the long sword still did not move.

Only then did Ji Xiaohua realize how naive she was.

He was about to burst into tears.

Extremely regretful, now it’s better, I don’t have a penny a day!

Then, he let go of his hand, picked up his small package, lowered his head and said in frustration: "Master, the small one can't carry it, you can take it yourself."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at his appearance and snickered in her heart. She bent down and easily picked up the sword and said, "Let's go, take me into the city."

Ji Xiaohua said feebly: "Yes, young master, you come with me."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Ji Xiaohua, don't worry, I just made a joke to you, now I officially announce that I will give you eleven cents every day."

"Ah? Really." Ji Xiaohua smiled happily and said, "The young master is really a good man."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly and said, "Can you stop calling me Young Master? I told you why this always sounds so awkward."

Ji Xiaohua asked curiously: "Master, if I don't call you master, what should I call you?"

Zhang Xiaohua also rubbed his head and felt depressed, yes, what should Ji Xiaohua call herself?

"Forget it, just scream." Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand helplessly.

"Okay, Master, come with me."

After saying that, Ji Xiaohua happily took Zhang Xiaohua along the road towards Songning Town.

However, as soon as he entered the town, Zhang Xiaohua was very keen to see the fine sweat on Ji Xiaohua's forehead. Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised. He had just walked a distance. It was supposed that this child walked a lot, so how could he be so tired?

Puzzled, Ji Xiaohua stopped, wiped the sweat from her head, turned around and asked: "Master, we have arrived in the city, what do you want to do?"

While he was talking, the aroma wafted from a bun shop next to him, and the child couldn't help but squint his eyes, secretly spitting.

"Ouch." Zhang Xiaohua understood instantly and couldn't help but secretly want to hit herself.

"That thing just now must be Ji Xiaohua's ration today. He hasn't eaten it yet, so he ate it while remembering the bitterness and sweetness. Just now I was thinking about giving him a good meal at noon, but I didn't expect that he would still eat it in the morning. I haven’t eaten yet, and the sweat on my forehead is probably because I’m hungry.”

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "The first thing I do when I enter the city is of course eating. Well, I haven't had breakfast yet. Come on, I'll treat you to steamed buns."

After that, let’s go to the bun shop first.

Although Ji Xiaohua was young, she had been out and about for a few years. At this time, she didn't know what Zhang Xiaohua was thinking. She looked at Zhang Xiaohua's back and followed her gratefully. It's a pity that he doesn't know that the young master in front of him is just a Xibei, otherwise, he would have dragged him into a restaurant long ago.

The bun vendor was also very discerning. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua's dress, he quickly shouted: "Young master, do you want to eat some buns? Come here and try something new."

If you are used to eating big fish and meat, it will be good for your health to eat some of our vegetable buns. "

After saying that, he looked at the dirty little table with some embarrassment, wondering whether he should let Zhang Xiaohua sit down. Zhang Xiaohua didn't mind and sat down immediately. Ji Xiaohua followed and stood next to Zhang Xiaohua. She didn't know whether she should do it or stand. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Sit down, Ji Xiaohua, you're welcome. Thanks to you for calling me young master several times, I will treat you to a meal of steamed buns today."

Ji Xiaohua obeyed and sat at one end of the bench far away from Zhang Xiaohua. To be honest, it is one thing to work with someone's young master, but it is another thing to accompany someone to eat. I heard that people from wealthy families eat together. There are rules. This is the first time for me to eat with a young master. What I am eating is the meat buns that I have been craving for for a long time. Can I be careful?

When Zhang Xiaohua saw this, she didn't say much and said to the hawker: "Here are four vegetable buns and six meat buns."

The hawker said happily: "Okay, I'll give it to you right away."

After saying that, he took out two drawers from the top of the two stacks of tower-like steamers, picked them up, and served them to the two of them. Zhang Xiaohua looked at Ji Xiaohua with her eyes staring at the fragrant meat buns, and she almost shed tears. He came down and pushed the four vegetable buns in front of him with a smile. Ji Xiaohua looked a little disappointed. She reluctantly glanced at the meat buns in front of Zhang Xiaohua, swallowed, and asked, "Master, you eat first."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Eat, let's eat together."

After speaking, Ji Xiaohua picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table. When she saw it, she quickly said: "Master, wait a moment."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and looked at Ji Xiaohua strangely.

Ji Xiaohua took the chopsticks from Zhang Xiaohua, skillfully picked up the tea from the table, heated it slightly, and then handed it to Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua was a little helpless. Why was this young master so unreliable?

Yes, when has Zhang Xiaohua ever been so particular about eating?

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua pick up a meat bun, Ji Xiaohua quickly picked up the chopsticks from the table, picked up a vegetable bun, and took a bite. The bun had just been taken off the fire. Although it was cold on the outside, it was very hot inside. Unfortunately, Ji Xiaohua had very little experience in eating steamed buns. Who would have known that her mouth was so hot that she kept sucking in the cold air. Even so, he was not willing to spit out the steamed buns that were in his mouth.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at him, smiled, reached out and poured a glass of water for him, and said, "Drink some water and it won't be hot."

Ji Xiaohua stood up quickly and muttered: "Master, how can I let you pour water?"

Zhang Xiaohua raised her hand to signal him to sit down and handed him the water. Ji Xiaohua took it and drank it quickly, and then drank it all in one gulp. But, although he was boiling water in the tea shed, he didn't dare to drink the water casually. Yeah, I've been so busy since morning that I haven't had a sip of water yet. Are you not thirsty?

Ji Xiaohua ate the vegetable bun while blowing air, and when she was about to eat the second one, Zhang Xiaohua smiled, pushed the meat bun beside her to him, and said, "Let's eat the meat bun now."

Ji Xiaohua was stunned and didn't understand what was going on. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Eat first and talk while eating."

How could Ji Xiaohua remain so reserved after receiving the order to eat? I picked up the meat buns and started eating. Fortunately, I had the experience of eating vegetable buns just now, so my mouth was not burned by the meat buns.

Zhang Xiaohua saw that he ate delicious food and said: "When I was a child, I ate meat buns for the first time, and my mouth was burned. Moreover, I had diarrhea after eating it. Later, I heard someone said that my stomach would not eat meat for a long time. It’s best to eat some vegetables first and then eat meat, so I let you eat a meat bun first.”

Ji Xiaohua suddenly realized, stuffed the meat bun in her mouth, and muttered: "Young master knows so much."

Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips, nonsense, can you not understand the experience gained by having diarrhea?

After Ji Xiaohua ate three meat buns, Zhang Xiaohua stopped letting him eat them and said, "Okay, if you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. The remaining buns have been packed up. I'll wait for you when you get hungry." It’s never too late to eat.”

Ji Xiaohua was overjoyed and quickly and carefully put away the remaining buns. Seeing Ji Xiaohua's careful look, Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised and asked, "I'll eat it soon, don't be so serious."

Ji Xiaohua raised her face and said seriously: "I'm full. I want to take this back to my mother."

Saying "Mother", Zhang Xiaohua's nose felt sore again, thinking of her mother who was missing her in some unknown direction, or who thought she had passed away a long time ago and missed her mother sadly.

He waved his hand and said to the hawker: "Brother, pack me two more drawers of steamed buns, one with vegetables and one with meat."

Ji Xiaohua asked curiously: "Master, you didn't eat anything just now. Are you waiting to eat on the way?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "This is for you to take back to your mother."

"Ah?" Ji Xiaohua couldn't believe her ears and said, "Is this true?"

"Really, can I still lie to you?"

"This, this is forty cents. Master, are you so generous?"

"Ah? I want forty coins. I thought it was thirty-six coins. Alas, the world is not ancient. Forget it, I'll just be generous."

Zhang Xiaohua paid the bill, and Ji Xiaohua neatly packed the buns and asked, "Master, let's get down to business next."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the things in his hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my things are easy to handle. I'd better take the things in your hands back first and let's talk about it later."

"Okay, my mother probably hasn't eaten anything yet. It's just right to send it back now." Ji Xiaohua was overjoyed.

Ji Xiaohua's home is in the south of Songning City. Although it is in the city, it is a dilapidated courtyard and a hut with air leakage everywhere. It is not as good as Zhang Xiaohua's home in Guozhuang. Zhang Xiaohua did not enter the house, only stayed in the courtyard. He didn't feel any discomfort when he stayed inside, but Ji Xiaohua refused to let him in, life or death, saying that it was too slow to treat Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua's consciousness had already swept through the dilapidated room. There was only a middle-aged woman with gray hair inside, nestled on the bed, coughing from time to time. Although she tried her best to endure it, she couldn't bear it anymore. In Zhang Xiaohua's consciousness, he seemed to see the woman spitting out traces of blood.

Zhang Xiaohua sighed and thought of her grandmother. Wasn't that what she was like back then?

Ps: I don’t know if this chapter is boring for everyone.

Thank you for the compliment of "Looking for Immortals without Asking", haha.

The setting of this book is a little different from other books. In other books, martial arts is something before the introduction of spiritual cultivation. For example, only when martial arts is innate can you practice qi. The setting of this book is that martial arts is an improved version of the immortal way. The meridians are all the same, but the true energy is different, so the peak of martial arts should be comparable to the fifth or sixth level of immortal qi refining; moreover, the vitality of heaven and earth is insufficient now, and the magic cannot exert its power. Of course, it is even inferior to martial arts. .

Of course, Zhang Xiaohua felt that he was not as good as Ou Peng, Chang Geng and others at this time, but he was a little presumptuous. He already had earth escape, fire escape and flying sword. He had long been invincible. If he couldn't defeat him, he could... escape. ~~

Another tourist said that Zhang Xiaohua’s amazing magical power should be the function of the wrist guard. Why didn’t I explain it in the book? Haha, I think other books have written it so clearly. It is obviously like some TV dramas nowadays, treating the audience as ..., I have to add a narration or explanation to everything, lest people don’t understand or know, so I didn’t write it. In fact, readers are very smart. If I didn’t say it, wouldn’t the tourists also know it? By the way, there is also the forgetting of martial arts moves. Firstly, it highlights the uniqueness of Zhang Xiaohua’s martial arts practice. Secondly, if a few words can explain the moves, then there is no need for a master to teach them. In particular, a copy is given to the men’s football team. Training manual, already dominating the World Cup. Well, it seems that the so-called training in China should be world-class.
