Chapter 330: Small Appetite
The city is already bustling and prosperous, and it is even more lively during the first month of the year.

The streets are bustling with people and traffic. Today is the fifth day of the New Year, and the largest circus troupe in the city is performing on Huilong Street, attracting many people to watch the fun.

With so many people, accidents were prone to happen. I don't know how it started, but there was a sudden crowd and a riot. Everyone was afraid of being trampled, so they ran for their lives.

The more afraid I was, the more chaotic it became, and I just collapsed.

At that time, the carriage that Shi Liu was riding in had just arrived at Huilong Street and was hit by a crowd of people rushing over. The horse was frightened and kicked its hooves nervously.

Fortunately, Hu Zhen reacted quickly and pulled the horse to the alley nearby to avoid the danger.

It took half an hour for the authorities to clear the crowds and the streets to return to normal.

This accident caused dozens of deaths and injuries due to the stampede. It was unfortunate that it happened during the New Year.

Even though the street had returned to normal, due to such a big accident that had just happened, no one came here anymore, making the street seem very deserted. If you didn't know, you would think that this street was deserted.

Because of this delay, it was already past lunch time.

The carriage continued to go to Nanmen Street. Liu Xi stroked his chest and said, "It was so scary just now! Fortunately, I was riding in your carriage!"

If she had followed in her own carriage, the driver would not have had the same reaction as Hu Zhen.

Shi Liu was still frightened. If Hu Zhen hadn't reacted quickly and responded to the horse's anger, if the horse had really run away and the carriage had been blown away, wouldn't they have been trampled into meat patties?
Not to mention that if the horses run wildly, who knows how many people will be trampled.

Because of this incident, I had originally planned to go shopping together after dinner, but now I’m no longer in the mood.

After dinner, Liu Xi returned to Lihua Hutong, got into his carriage and said goodbye to Shi Liu.

Fu Dong made a cup of hot tea and went into the room. He saw his daughter lying on the couch with a bad look on her face. His expression changed immediately and he took two steps at a time and walked forward: "Girl, what's wrong with you? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Shi Liu waved her hand, "No, I'm fine. I was just startled earlier."

"I'll ask Bai Cui to prepare some calming soup." Fudong was still frightened by the accident that happened on the street just now. It was no wonder that the girl was frightened. He quickly put down the teacup and went outside.

Shi Liu leaned against the pillow without moving. She was not a timid person, but the crowded and thrilling scene just now made her think of the time when she came here.

Even after more than ten years, it is still so clear and profound.

At that time, a few good friends invited each other to go hiking at night. Everything was fine when they climbed up, but suddenly it started to rain heavily, and there were strong winds, lightning and thunder on the mountain.

There happened to be quite a few people going for night hiking that night. There were crowds of people, one after another, all trying to run to a place where they could hide from the rain. Many people didn't react, and the scene became chaotic. They could only be forced to follow the flow.

In the chaos, she was standing not far from the cliff. People pushed and shoved her, and she didn't have time to dodge. She was hit by the force and pushed towards the railing, and finally she was pushed down...

Today's sudden accident reminded her of the scene at that time, the panic, and the feeling of weightlessness - her heart was pounding at this moment, and she was really uneasy.

After Fudong brought her the calming tea, she drank it and took a nap, and she felt much better.

Although it is the first month of the lunar year and the streets are more lively at night, Shi Liu has no plans to go out for a walk tonight. It would be boring to go out alone. It is better to save this bustling scene for the Lantern Festival when he returns home to visit his family.

So, after dinner, I read a book in the room for a while and then went to bed early.

Because she was worried about the situation at Liu Dong's home, Shi Liu didn't sleep well that night and got up early.

After running around in the backyard and doing some boxing, Shi Liu changed her clothes. Seeing that the weather was good today, Shi Liu took Fu Dong for a walk. After turning out of Lihua Hutong, there were several breakfast stalls outside.

In the billowing hot mist, there are mutton offal soup, braised pork buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk, salty and sweet tofu pudding, and pea noodles. All kinds of aromas are strung together, the fragrance is so rich that it makes people drool at the smell.

Shi Liu took a deep breath and chose an empty table at the soy milk stall in the middle and sat down.

Fudong was busy like an early-rising bee. Soon, a bowl of mutton soup, a tray of steamed buns with soy sauce, a bowl of salty tofu pudding, a bowl of pea noodles, a bowl of soy milk and a fried dough stick were placed in front of Shi Liu.

Wow, such a big appetite! Those who came out for breakfast were shocked. They had seen people who could eat, but had never seen a little girl who could eat so much.

Don't doubt that these two girls wanted to eat this together. Didn't you see that the busy girl turned around and ordered another bowl of noodles? That was her breakfast, and these in front were all for the girl in the rose-red jacket.

The diners around, including the stall owner, couldn't help but look over curiously, wanting to see if this little girl could really eat so much.

Pomegranate is not a big eater. She just smelled that these foods were her favorite breakfasts, so she wanted to try them all.

Don't accuse her of being wasteful. She is rich and willful, and she just wants to try them all.

I won’t say whether I can finish it or not, but I’m in a good mood after trying it all!

But the looks from people around her also made her speechless.
No, why don't you just eat your food? Why are you looking at me? And, you uncle eating tofu pudding over there, you've already finished your tofu pudding for quite a while, why don't you pay and leave?

All of them were looking at her, but suddenly, Shi Liu felt her hands were incredibly hot.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look, and saw a little beggar hiding under a tree not far away, staring at the braised pork bun in her hand. Even at such a distance, she could hear the sound of him swallowing his saliva.

After a pause, Shi Liu asked Fu Dong to pack the remaining dumplings with braised pork and give them to the little beggar.

Fu Dong did as he was told. The little beggar took the braised pork bun and ran away like a monkey. His speed was astonishingly fast.

I don’t know whether I should hide somewhere and eat the buns slowly.

Shi Liu didn't take it to heart and continued to take the mutton soup and drink it.

Hmm, it smells tempting, the mutton offal soup is rich and fresh, without any mutton or fishy smell, and tastes fresh and fragrant.

Pomegranate kept nodding as he drank the drink. This small street stall has a long history and its products have a unique flavor.

I couldn't help but finish the whole bowl of mutton offal soup. Shi Liu had just eaten two steamed buns with marinated pork in soy sauce. Actually, I was almost full, but there were still several things I hadn't eaten.

After a pause, Shi Liu took the fried dough stick again and prepared to soak it in soy milk to eat.

At this time, a series of swallowing sounds were heard.

Looking up, I saw several beggars standing a few steps away, and the little beggar who had just taken the braised pork bun and ran away was among them.

Pomegranate: They see that there is a person who is generous in giving away food here, so all those who smell the food come here.

Being stared at by diners, Pomegranate could eat calmly as if he didn't notice it, but being stared at by so many beggars, Pomegranate really couldn't eat it anymore.

Especially since these beggars were all young, dirty, wearing loose and ill-fitting clothes, and wearing either straw sandals or shoes with several holes in them. Their exposed skin was covered with frostbite, festering and oozing pus.
