Chapter 4

Li Siwen grinned when he heard this.

"Don't worry about it, this fight was fun anyway, let's see if Changsun Chong dares to be arrogant in front of the men—"

As soon as this was mentioned, the young man called Chu Bi couldn't help but cheer up.

"I'll hit him again when I get some free time when I get back, it's a pity that I ran away from Zhang Shenwei, otherwise it would be cool--"

"Huh—what does it smell like? It smells so good——"

"Huh—what does it smell like? It smells so good——"

As soon as the young man named Chu Bi approached Liu Zian's house, he subconsciously sniffled and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He had never smelled such a delicious smell.

After such a pause, Li Siwen behind him also caught up, and when he smelled the fragrance wafting from the yard, his eyes widened.

"What does it taste like!"

Saying this, the fellow took a deep breath a little forgetfully, and smashed his mouth.

"I can't find this taste in any restaurant in Chang'an City—it's absolutely delicious!"

"Not only that, even the imperial kitchen of the emperor's father is probably not as good as it is. Hehe, maybe, we are lucky today! Just wait here, I'll go and see the situation—"

After the young man named Chu Bi finished speaking, he smiled, tied his horse to a nearby tree, and strode towards Liu Zian's yard.

The young man named Li Siwen didn't wait outside obediently, so he quickly found a horse and tied it, and ran in after him.

The countryside is mostly fenced. If there are people in the house, the gate is always open during the day. These two people are tall and long-legged, and they walk fast. They only take three or two steps to reach the middle of the courtyard.

There is a big jujube tree in the yard of Liu Zi'an's house, with dense branches and leaves. There is a big stone pier under the tree. In the past, the family of four often ate here.

Brothers and sisters Liu Zian and Qiao'er just put their rice bowls on the stone pier and took a mouthful. Before they had time to praise the delicious lunch, they saw two young people in brocade clothes rushing in one after the other.

The first one is about 1.7 meters eight. In this era, he is definitely a big man. He has a wide waist and a thick back. He is powerful, with a dark face and broom eyebrows. Sturdy and mighty energy.

It's a pity that this mighty energy was completely ruined by this bastard's sneaky eyes.

After this guy entered the courtyard, he kept twitching his nose, and his eyes kept sneaking towards his job.

If he was dressed in brocade clothes and a valuable jade pendant around his waist, Liu Zian would have suspected that this guy was a thief.

The one in the back was taller and taller, 1.8 meters nine. Standing in the back, he came in like a bear. At first glance, he was extremely impactful.

But the eyes are not much better, staring straight at the plate of vinegared potato shreds in front of Qiaoer, the tears almost flow down.

"This brother, what kind of food do you cook, I wonder if you can sell me a piece..."

The young man named Chu Bi did not lie, he surrounded Shidunzi as soon as he came up.While greeting Liu Zian scribbledly, he glanced at the plate of shredded potatoes.

Confirmed, it's the plate of dishes that are golden in color and cut into thin filaments. The closer they are, the more enticing the aroma, and the speed of saliva secretion in the mouth is a bit faster.

I want to eat my potato shreds!
Liu Zi'an immediately became more vigilant. Just a big guy like him, let alone a plate, even a plate would not be enough for him to eat, let alone a guy like a big bear following him?

I only have a total of forty catties of potatoes, and I eat a little less, not to mention that there is only one garlic with added attributes in the vegetable field.

"Not for sale—"

Liu Zian refused without hesitation.

Snapped!
Can you buy food if you have money?
The young man named Chu Bi, without saying a word, directly pulled out a large string of copper coins from his arms, and slapped them firmly on the stone pier.

"It's all for you, whether you sell it or not—"

Liu Zian couldn't help but gasped, the large string of copper coins seemed to have more than 1000 coins.Buying a plate of potato shreds is willing to spend more than 1000 Wen, which shows that people are stupid and have a lot of money!
It's not that Liu Zian is ignorant, but that one thousand Wen is really a lot.

Although it is said that in the third year of Zhenguan, prices were still very high, far from being as exaggerated as three coins for a bucket of rice, but according to the "New Tang Book", at the beginning of Zhenguan, it was just "a piece of silk and a bucket of Yimi."

In other words, seven or eight hundred yuan can probably buy a bucket of rice.One bucket is roughly equivalent to about twelve and a half catties today.

The string of copper coins that the black-faced boy on the opposite side snapped was enough to buy about twenty catties of rice.The rice here refers to the best millet.

If it were replaced by the brown rice that Liu Zian was eating now, it would be able to exchange fifty or sixty catties, which would be enough for their family of four to feed for a long time.

People are poor and short, horses are thin and long hair, thinking of the rice vat at home that has bottomed out, and looking at the little girl with a yellow and thin face, Liu Zian couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed with complicated emotions.

Life is not easy, and you can't let the whole family go hungry with you for a little so-called persistence.

Seeing Liu Zian wryly smiling and shaking his head, with a complicated expression on his face, the black-faced boy opposite him thought Liu Zian would not sell, so he couldn't help feeling anxious.

He gave the big man behind him a look, and the big man behind took out two strings of copper coins from his pocket neatly, and pushed them on the stone pier in front of him.

"Give you all--"

As the fellow said, he also took out his inner pocket and rummaged through it, and found four or five scattered copper coins, and piled them on top.

"How about it, brother, hurry up!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glanced at the plate of potato shreds again, and swallowed hard.That tempting fragrance is like a little scratch, scratching and scratching in your heart.

"Okay, change!"

Sure enough, people are stupid and have a lot of money!
Liu Zian reached out to lift up the money and made a gesture of invitation. The two of them were overjoyed immediately, and rushed towards the chopsticks that were placed beside them.

The young man named Chu Bi was already close, and he grabbed the chopsticks first, picked up a chopsticks of shredded potatoes, and stuffed them into his mouth.

The taste buds exploded immediately, from the tip of the tongue to the stomach, the taste was intoxicating, and the strong sense of happiness made his black face laugh like a big bun.

This fellow was about to copy the second chopstick, but Li Siwen next to him impatiently snatched it away.

"I'll try it, I'll try it—"

Watching the two of them grabbing a plate of shredded potatoes, Liu Zian couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, telling them that the chopsticks they were holding were the chopsticks he had just used, but he gave up after thinking about it.

Although these two guys talked a little bit hatefully, but - they also spent money, and they were kind.

He lowered his head and took a look, holding the chopsticks, the little girl who felt wronged.Rubbing her little head apologetically, he reached out and stuffed two large strings of copper coins into the little girl's arms.

The little girl instantly forgot the pain of losing the delicious food, she became smiling, and her two big eyes turned into crescent moons.
