Need for Uncle

Chapter 11

Chapter 10 Hit the Street
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded. In fact, what he said was a little watery. Although kelp and some soy foods can effectively suppress the chance of sudden heart disease, they are not medicines after all. Eating them usually can only play a role in auxiliary prevention, but even In this way, it finally helped Dongfang Mu's condition.

Dongfang Xueyu naturally nodded happily when she heard the words, "Then you go, Mr. Xiang, remember to come back soon."

"it is good."

"Master" Steward Wang was worried because of the series of events these two days, seeing that Ma Xiaoshuai was about to go to the street again, he was afraid of making a mistake, and he would not dare to be sloppy, so he hurriedly said: "Master, take two servants with you. "

"no need."

"Uncle, don't you want to buy something? Let them carry it for you."

Ma Xiaoshuai thought for a while, and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said, "That's fine."

………………

As the capital of the Murong Kingdom, Murong City is not only the center of culture and politics, but also a place where business thrives. Whether it is a dream of getting rich or a simple life, the streets on both sides are as large as shops and as small as peddlers. It is precisely because of this that Murong City is bustling and noisy, and it is noon at this time, and the streets paved with bluestone slabs are full of people, very lively.

Ma Xiaoshuai led Dongfang Xueyu along, looking around with his head poked. In fact, the matter of buying such things can be left to the housekeeper or maid, but Ma Xiaoshuai felt that he should do his best in front of Dongfang Xueyu. On the one hand, it was mainly because he wanted to come out and see if Murong City was as bustling as he remembered.

In fact, Ma Xiaoshuai was not disappointed.

Feeling the cheers and laughter of the passers-by beside him, the corners of Ma Xiaoshuai's mouth turned up, his eyes half-closed comfortably, and his pace gradually slowed down according to his mood.

"Uncle, there is a bean stall over there."

The servant who had been following behind had to remind Ma Xiaoshuai, because Ma Xiaoshuai had explained it before, and noticed that there was a bean vendor on the side of the road. , In fact, in the bottom of my heart, I have always been in awe of this young man who suddenly changed. Although it is his duty, seeing Ma Xiaoshuai's expression, he dare not disturb him. .

"Huh? Where is it?"

But Ma Xiaoshuai didn't seem displeased, he just slowed down a little and looked around.

The servant named Er Gouzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to the side not far away.

"There."

"Well, I see, let's go."

Ma Xiaoshuai led the two servants behind him to a small stall with several bags on the side of the road.

The stall owner was a young man in his early twenties. He was holding a yellowed book and reading it seriously. It might be because he was too engrossed. Until the three of Ma Xiaoshuai approached, this young man didn't notice it at all.

Ma Xiaoshuai was a little curious, stopped the two servants behind him who wanted to remind him, and leaned forward. After a closer look, he realized that what this young man was holding was a famous book in this world, Marquis Wu. Notes, Ma Xiaoshuai didn't think too much about the specifics, he only knew that they were about smelting and manufacturing books, similar to the scientific books and periodicals in his original world.

"boss."

"..."

Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head and smiled wryly, but he didn't get angry.

"Cough...boss."

"what?"

The stall owner finally raised his head, and what Ma Xiaoshuai saw was a clean and handsome face, his dark eyes were blank for a moment, he seemed to realize his identity at this time, he stood up immediately, and smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, I was too engrossed just now."

"fine."

Ma Xiaoshuai also smiled politely, but in his heart he had a very high opinion of this young man who was neither humble nor arrogant.

"What do you want, son?"

The young man still had that smile, sunny and sincere, Ma Xiaoshuai can guarantee that this face plus this smile, if placed in his original world, would definitely be the target of little girls screaming wildly.

"Put all your soybeans and mung beans here, I want them all."

In fact, Ma Xiaoshuai didn't want so much, but because he liked the young man, he took care of his business.

The young man seemed to be a little taken aback by surprise, "Both?"

"Well, both."

"Well."

The young man was obviously very happy to get Ma Xiaoshuai's affirmative answer, and he started to work after he agreed.

Taking advantage of the young man's busy time, Ma Xiaoshuai asked a question that he had always wondered about.

"Boss, you look like a scholar."

Hearing this, the young man raised his head and said with a smile, "Hey, what kind of scholar is he? He just likes to read some books."

"Oh? Really? But as far as I know, the Marquis Wu's Diary is not accessible to ordinary people."

Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the surprised young man in front of him with a smile on his lips. In fact, what he said was not wrong. This Wuhou Notebook is indeed not something that ordinary people can have. .

The young man sighed and said: "To be honest, I was originally born into a wealthy family, but due to the last series of changes, the family has no choice but to do some small business to supplement the family. As for the notes of Marquis Wu that you said, It was left by my grandfather."

After the young man finished speaking, his eyes were a little lonely and sad, and he continued to busy himself with the work in hand.

Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, this young man really didn't want to be a child of an ordinary family.

"I don't know what is recorded in the notes of Marquis Wu?"

"It's something made by smelting."

"The boss likes to study these?"

"Oh, hehe, yes." The young man raised his head and said with some pride: "My father used to be in charge of manufacturing weapons and equipment for the army in the palace. I have been fascinated by them since I was a child, and I am also very interested in these things. Research."

"oh, I see."

Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, thinking secretly.

"My lord, the soybeans and mung beans you want are all ready, a total of half taels of silver."

The young man raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Oh, Ergou, give me the money."

Ma Xiaoshuai beckoned his servant to take the two bags, and said, "Farewell."

"Walk slowly."

The young man bent his body slightly, and watched Ma Xiaoshuai and the others leave.

"Grandpa, what else do we need to buy?"

Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the passers-by and vendors hawking along the street, and knew that the servant meant to urge him to return home as soon as possible, but he didn't want to go back so soon.

"I'm looking at it, you guys take what you have back home first, don't follow along."

Ergou said with a look of embarrassment: "But, but Butler Wang ordered..."

Ma Xiaoshuai waved his hands impatiently, and said in a displeased tone, "Do you want to listen to Steward Wang or me?"

The two servants lowered their bodies in trepidation, not even daring to speak.

Ma Xiaoshuai didn't want to continue entanglement, he came back after leaving a sentence, and without waiting for the two of them to say anything, he strode away and walked towards the more lively place ahead.

The two servants looked at each other helplessly, then turned and left.

"This Murong City is really good."

Ma Xiaoshuai was walking in the middle of the street, weaving through the crowded crowd, full of interest.

"Hey, son, come in and eat some of our new products..."

At this time, it happened to be close to a small restaurant, and there was a man dressed as a waiter at the door with a bright smile on his face, and he kept introducing the signature dishes of his restaurant. It's something called Pearl Emerald.

"Young master, come in and have some food."

Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the customers coming in and out of the restaurant. It seemed that the business was really good, and the food should not be bad. He rubbed his belly and found that he was really hungry, so he walked in with great strides, and the waiter immediately smiled. Lead the way.

Walking in the door, a loud commotion immediately fell into his ears. Ma Xiaoshuai was stunned for a moment, and then he felt relieved. Presumably, it must be different from the original world. Although the people here pay more attention to etiquette than people in the [-]st century, they don't keep it in public. Quiet behavior and moral habits, in terms of the thinking of people in this world, going out to drink and eat pays attention to an atmosphere, talking loudly and drinking heavily is a show of boldness, and has little to do with poor quality.

The scene at this time reminded Ma Xiaoshuai of the Jianghu Inn in the novel, but he didn't feel disgusted or disgusted.

Thinking about this, Xiao Er has already brought Ma Xiaoshuai to a window seat on the second floor.

"Young master, what do you want to eat?"

The child took the white towel on his shoulder and vigorously wiped the non-existent stains on the table. It may be due to professional habits. Although the child's words were enthusiastic enough, his smile was somewhat flattering, which made Ma Xiaoshuai a little uncomfortable.

"Come here with a few signature side dishes and a pot of shochu."

"Okay, my lord, wait a moment, signature side dishes, a pot of shochu...

The child yelled at the top of his voice, and went downstairs.

Ma Xiaoshuai looked around, and suddenly remembered that the chivalrous men in the Jianghu wine family in the novel seemed to tell some gossip or secret state affairs while drinking, this made Ma Xiaoshuai a little excited, and immediately pricked up his ears to listen.

In addition, Ma Xiaoshuai was disappointed, although he could hear what everyone was saying without any effort, but he didn't hear any valuable information from it, and the desire to eavesdrop gradually receded.

"Young master, your side dishes. Shaojiu, use it slowly."

Fortunately, the serving speed of this restaurant is not slow. When Xiaoer reappeared, the tray in his hand was full of side dishes.

"Go down."

"Okay, take your time."

Ma Xiaoshuai followed the movements of the people around him, poured out a glass of wine, brought it to his mouth and sniffed it first.

"It looks good."

Ma Xiaoshuai poured it into his mouth muttering to himself, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

The wine entered his stomach, and a mellow aroma permeated his whole body. Ma Xiaoshuai moaned comfortably, clicked his mouth with some aftertaste, secretly said good wine, and immediately poured out another glass greedily, and drank it like last time.

The noise in the restaurant continued, Ma Xiaoshuai sipped the wine alone, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, but then it was time to taste the dishes of this world, picking up the chopsticks, Ma Xiaoshuai felt inexplicably looking forward to it.

However, Ma Xiaoshuai was disappointed in the result.

Although the few small dishes on the table look beautiful enough and can whet the appetite, but they are not delicious when you really eat them. If you want to come to this world, the culinary care is simply staying at the less advanced stage. For Ma Xiaoshuai, the cooking technique only stays at the point of not being unpalatable, and as for deliciousness, it is a bit far-fetched.
