When she arrived, she found that the building was empty.
Xia Ji nodded.
âDo you know how to cook?â Lu Miaomiao asked.
Xia Ji nodded again.
â Stop cooking, â Lu Miaomiao said. â Iâll treat you to a good meal. Itâll be good for the Lu family to see us together. Weâll make a marriage alliance for them to
See.
An hour later.
The two of them appeared in Juye City.
Lu Miaomiaoâs mischievous eyes darted around as she held Xia Jiâs left arm with her right hand and walked on the street.
A restaurant appeared in front of them. The restaurant was seven stories high and lanterns hung high. Guests came and went in an endless stream. The plaque in the middle had the words âTianzhen Marketâ written on it.
âIs this the place?â Xia Ji asked.
âNo yes.â
Lu Miaomiao hurriedly pulled Xia Ji and ran forward.
âI heard that the dishes in this restaurant are pretty good,â said Xia Ji.
âLiar!â It was not delicious! Quick, quick, quick. Hurry up and go over. I canât stand this vulgar smell of oil and smoke.â
âYou donât have money, do you?â Xia Jiâs lips twitched.
âHow how could it be!â Lu Miaomiao hurriedly said, âHavenât you heard of this saying? The wonders of the world, the strange and unusual views, often lie in the danger and distance;And the delicacies and rare dishes in the market are often in the remote areas.â
âI didnât hear the last part,â Xia Ji shook his head honestly.
Lu Miaomiao revealed a disdainful expression and let out a âEh
âUncle, youâre a scholar. Youâve never heard of this before. Hmph.â
Xia Ji couldnât help but laugh. He could clearly feel that even though the girl beside him heard his laughter, her face didnât turn red or her heart jump. The curve on his lips couldnât help but increase.
The emptiness in his heart from before had actually been eliminated.
âLast time at the Wangjiang Tower, I invited you to drink tea on the top floor.
Uncle, do you think Iâm someone who needs money?â
âActually, that dayâŠâ Xia Ji smiled. Although you flipped through the pages quickly and your fingers clicked quickly, I sawâŠâ
Lu Miaomiao rolled her eyes and said righteously,âSo what if I see it? Isnât it thirty times more expensive than the tea outside? Iâm still very rich Letâs go, weâre almost there.â
âWhat exactly are you treating me to?â Xia Ji asked curiously.
âItâs a secret.â Lu Miaomiao narrowed her eyes. â It must be something really, really, really delicious. â
Xia Jiâs interest was piqued. â Oh? Then Iâm looking forward to it. â
His black hair was mixed with white hair as the winter wind brushed past it.
Behind him, it brought out a somewhat detached temperament.
The young girl beside him who was holding his arm also looked like an elf.
The two of them were silent and moved, showing a strange sense of harmony and warmth.
There were fewer lanterns on the street in the winter night, and the light was getting dimmer.
The two of them walked from light to darkness.
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the dark corner of the alley.
It was a beggar with unkempt hair and a dirty face. He looked like he was about to freeze into a roll. He was holding a chipped copper bowl and shaking his hand.
The copper was bouncing up and down in the copper bowl, making a sound.
Lu Miaomiao stopped in her tracks and pulled her arm out of Xia Jiâs arms. She took out a small purse, counted twenty copper coins, and threw it out. â Go and have a bowl of noodles. â
The beggar didnât even look at him and just said mechanically, â Thank you, thank you. â
The two of them walked past.
âHe thinks youâre giving him too little,â Xia Ji said.
âNonsense!â Lu Miaomiao said.
Xia Ji said, â Although his face is dirty, his hair is messy, and his clothes are tattered, they are all fake. I can feel that his Qi and blood flow are completely healthy. Moreover, they are quite strong. He should be a martial artist. â
Lu Miaomiao suddenly stopped.
She turned around and ran over.
â What are you doing? â Xia Ji hurriedly pulled her back.
âI canât let him cheat me of my hard-earned money.â
Lu Miaomiao broke free from Xia Jiâs grip and ran a small circle before coming back.
The beggarâs acupuncture points were sealed by her, and the bowl had already been snatched by herâŠ
Lu Miaomiao counted 30 copper coins, blew off the dust, and put them into her small purse with satisfaction.
âYou actually stole a beggarâs money?â Xia Ji was speechless.
âI was once a beggar,â Lu Miaomiao said.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked, as if they had completely integrated into this ordinary world.
Not far away, there was a black-robed figure.
That figure was sent by the Lu family to check on the progress of the marriage.
When the black-robed figure saw Lu Miaomiao snatching the beggarâs money in front of the Su familyâs imperial master, he could not bear to look at her directly. It was a pain in the eyesâŠ
However, he had also heard their undisguised conversation and knew that Lu Miaomiao wanted to treat the emperorâs teacher to a good meal.
The black shadow was also filled with curiosity because as far as he knew, there was nothing good to eat further down the street.
At least there was nothing expensive.
Soon, he saw the two of them stop in front of a small stall.
There was almost no one in front of the stall. Although the big pot behind the stall was covered tightly, steam was still rising from the cracks.
An old couple was standing behind the pot.
âBoss, a large bowl of the secret mutton noodle soup and a bowl of your secret salted vegetable bread,â Lu Miaomiao shouted.
The grandmother of the old couple immediately replied,âAlright.â
Then, he looked at the two of them and smiled.âLittle girl, donât be afraid of getting fat. If your husband really loves you, itâs good that you get fatter.â
âItâs not husband, heâŠâ Lu Miaomiao said with a red face. The old grandma looked at the two of them curiously.
âHeâs my brother,â Lu Miaomiao said.
The old lady revealed a knowing smile. As she smiled, she looked at the old man who was cutting the mutton beside her and whispered, âOld man, cut more for the couple. Business isnât good anyway.â
The old man also smiled, as if he had remembered the old woman and him when they were young. He said,âGot it. Youâre so long-winded.â
Xia Ji and Lu Miaomiao sat under the snow shelter.
âLet me tell you, the mutton noodle soup here is especially delicious.â Lu Miaomiao leaned over and said.
âThen why did you only order one serving?â Xia Ji asked, his eyes narrowed.
âI donât eat much,â Lu Miaomiao said.âA small bowl is enough.â
In the distanceâŠ
The black figure who was silently watching the two of them immediately covered his face.
No way, Lu Miaomiao, youâre simply a disgrace to the Lu family.
So the very, very, very delicious thing you mentioned was half a bowl of mutton soup noodles?
SoonâŠ
The black shadowâs bottom line was mercilessly challenged again.
The granny brought a big bowl of mutton soup noodles to the table and gave a small bowl to Lu Miaomiao.
From the beginning to the end, the old lady had been smiling at the two of them. Her gaze seemed to have seen through everything.
Lu Miaomiaoâs face almost turned red. She grabbed her chopsticks and started to fork the noodles from the big bowl. She also picked up a large piece of mutton and put it in her bowl.
âWhy did you remove all the meat?â Xia Ji asked speechlessly.
Lu Miaomiao looked at it and took another piece back.âls it fair now? I didnât take all the meat.â
Bang!
A strange sound suddenly came from afar, as if something had fallen.
The black shadow couldnât take it anymore. His body twitched and he fell to the ground.
âWhatâs that sound?â Xia Ji asked.
âDrunkard, right?â Lu Miaomiao asked. Eat your noodles, Iâm starving â Boss, hurry up and serve the cornbread.â
She grabbed the small bowl and drank a mouthful of hot soup in satisfaction.
Xia Ji also started eating.
Lu Miaomiaoâs incessant chatter could be heard on the table.
âAdd some pepper.â
âWow, this pickled vegetable is really delicious.â âThe taste of mutton is indeed very authentic.â
Xia Ji had never eaten such a dinner before.
In the past, he had eaten delicacies from all over the world, but now, the delicacies were all based on his mouthâŠ
But for some reason, he ate quite warmly.
Because, although the winter snow was cold, although it was dead rain,
Because, although the world was big, so big that it was empty and lonely,
Because, although time was long, long enough to break up and reunite, the people around him would eventually leave.
However, at this moment, being accompanied by such an elf was enough to give this simple meal the name of the most delicious.
âHah
Lu Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief.
The noodles and cornbread on the table had already been swept clean by the two of them.
âIâm not lying, right? Itâs really, really, really delicious, right?â
Lu Miaomiao interrogated her soul.
The black shadow who was watching from afar secretly cursed in his heart. Delicious my ass. Itâs impolite of you to treat the emperorâs teacher to such a thing. If the emperorâs teacher thinks itâs delicious, then thereâs a problem.
But soon, the shadow heard Xia Jiâs laughter.
âDelicious.â
The black shadow was petrified like a frozen ice sculpture, standing still in the snow.
At this moment, he had completed his assessment. A marriage alliance was extremely good..
