I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

After entering the town.

The two dismounted.

Xu Lang led the horse, and Xiaoyu followed beside him, just wandering around like this...

Today happens to be market day.

Therefore, the small Qingping Town is more lively than usual.

Along the street, there are small vendors shouting about buying and selling.

Anything for sale.

Xiaoyu seemed very happy. She looked at this and that, and everything felt fresh.

When she worked as a maid in the Lin family, it was because she sold herself.

There is no monthly payment.

There is also no freedom.

She couldn't leave the Lin family at will, so she naturally knew very little about what was going on outside.

All I know is just what I heard.

At this time.

She stopped in front of a vendor selling candied haws on a stick.

Staring at the candied haws on the target.

"Want to eat?"

Xu Lang asked.

Xiaoyu looked at him and nodded.

There are seven or eight flavors of candied haws on the target.

It tastes like hawthorn.

It has strawberry flavor.

It tastes like yam.

It has the flavor of black dates.

......

Xu Lang looked at the vendor and said, "Boss, here's a bunch of each flavor."

"Okay."

The vendor would wrap Xu Lang in lotus leaves.

"Sir, you don't need so much. I just want a bunch of hawthorns."

Xiaoyu said to Xu Lang, "I can't finish it if there's more. Let's make a skewer each. What flavor do you want, sir?"

"Then I'll get a bunch of strawberries."

Xu Lang said.

"Boss, I'll take one strawberry-flavored one and one hawthorn-flavored one."

Xiaoyu said to the vendor.

"Okay, six articles in total."

The vendor took two bunches of candied haws from the target and handed them to Xiaoyu.

Xu Lang gave him six copper coins.

Xiaoyu handed the bunch of strawberry-flavored candied haws to Xu Lang, and then she couldn't wait to take a bite of the hawthorn-flavored candied haws in her hand.

The sourness of hawthorn and the sweetness of sugar are mixed together.

She narrowed her eyes happily.

"Sir, this hawthorn flavor is delicious."

Xiaoyu said vaguely.

At the same time, he handed the hawthorn-flavored candied haws to Xu Lang's mouth.

Xu Lang bit off one.

The taste is sweet and sour.

"Is it delicious?!"

Xiaoyu asked.

Xu Lang nodded.

Xiaoyu said: "In the past, Sister Lan would buy it for me every time she received monthly payment."

Speaking of this, she said a little sadly: "It's a pity that Sister Lan was killed by that bad guy Mr. Lin."

Xu Lang comforted her and said, "Although your sister Lan is gone, she will be watching you in the sky. I believe she also hopes that you can live happily."

"Ah."

Xiaoyu nodded fiercely, then showed a happy smile and said, "How about we buy a few more strings when we go back next time, and give one string to each of Grandpa Bai, Uncle Bai, and Aunt Bai."

"Okay."

Xu Lang nodded.

The two of them ate and walked around.

For Xiaoyu, it is rare that she is so happy today.

"Wow, it smells so good. What kind of cake is that?"

Xiaoyu shrugged her nose and looked at a stall nearby.

then.

The two of them had another pancake in their hands.

While shopping, Xu Lang naturally did not forget the purpose of coming to the town this time.

However, after traveling through most of Qingping Town, he didn't notice anything suitable for him to do next.

Unknowingly, they came to the door of a small restaurant.

Xu Lang remembered that this restaurant was opened by Bai Yong, Aunt Bai's son.

"Xiaoyu, how about we go inside and have a meal?"

Xu Lang asked.

Although they had eaten candied haws and pancakes just now, they were not very hungry.

It's noon now, let's have a meal and take a rest.

Seeing Xiaoyu's hesitation, Xu Lang knew that the girl was afraid of spending money, so he simply pulled him forward.

The waiter came up to him.

Take the reins from Xu Lang's hand.

"Sir, please go in first and I'll help you tie up your horse."

Xu Lang nodded and pulled Xiaoyu in.

Because it is a small restaurant, it is impossible to hire too many people. When it is busy, Bai Yongdu is both the shopkeeper and the waiter, serving dishes to the guests.

"Xu Lang, why are you here? You're a rare visitor!"

Bai Yong saw Xu Lang and greeted him quickly.

"Aren't you hungry? I just happened to come here, so I wanted to stop by your place and have a meal."

Xu Lang said.

"Then take a look and tell me what you want to eat."

Bai Yong said.

Xu Lang ordered a few dishes at random.

"Okay, soon, the food will be served immediately."

Bai Yong turned around and entered the kitchen, telling the cook to cook.

"Sir, do you know this shopkeeper?"

Xiaoyu asked at this time.

Bai Yong rarely returns to Baimiao Village, so naturally she has never seen him.

"He is Aunt Bai's son, his name is Bai Yong."

Xu Lang said.

"Oh, no wonder."

Then Xiaoyu asked doubtfully, "Then why don't Aunt Bai and Uncle Bai move to the town and live with them?"

"This has something to do with Brother Yong's wife. She doesn't like living with two old people very much, so Brother Yong can't help it..."

Xu Lang said so.

The two chatted casually, and soon the dishes they ordered were served.

Although Xiaoyu is not very hungry, she looks like she has a big appetite.

After going to the Xu family, she usually cooked, but her cooking skills couldn't be compared to those of professional cooks.

When I was a maid in the Lin family, I was in charge of the food, but the delicious food was not available to people like them.

The food they ate was relatively ordinary food.

It's far worse than what she did herself.

Therefore, for her who has rarely eaten in restaurants, these dishes are all rare and delicious.

Because it was delicious, she couldn't help but eat a few more bowls of rice.

I ate until my stomach was bloated.

"Master, am I too good to eat?"

Xiaoyu looked at Xu Lang and said a little embarrassed.

The dishes on the table were almost all on discs, and she ate most of them.

"How can you say this is edible? I've seen people eat a big barrel of rice? That's what you call edible."

Xu Lang said with a smile, "You are growing taller now. Eat more to grow taller."

Then, he added: "If you don't have enough food, I will ask Brother Yong to serve you some food. I can't let my little Yu not be full."

"No, sir, I can't eat anymore."

Xiaoyu said quickly.

She was really afraid that if Xu Lang served her food again, it would be a waste if she couldn't finish it.

Eat and drink well.

The two of them planned to go shopping again and went back.

Just as he was about to pay, four people staggered in outside the door.

It's like God is first and I'm second.

"Shopkeeper Bai, business is very good!"

A tall and thin man at the head said.

"It turns out to be Brother Xiao, sit down quickly."

Bai Yong quickly asked the four of them to sit down, then took out a money bag from his arms and said, "This is the first money of the month."

The tall and thin man picked up the money bag, weighed it casually in his hands, and said, "This is not enough."

Bai Yong said: "It's true, there are five taels of silver in it."

The tall and thin man said: "There is a new notice from above. Starting from this month, the first payment every month will be ten taels!"

"Twelve?"

Bai Yong's expression turned ugly. This suddenly doubled his expression.

He looked at the tall and thin man and said, "Brother Xiao, we are a small business. Twelve taels a month is really too much. Our restaurant doesn't even make that much profit."
