My husband is a sick cat

After leaving Beishi, the two of them went directly to Yong'anfang. Lin'an City not only has a layout like the capital city, but also uses the name of the district to distinguish it. Just like the house Lu Jian and the others bought was in Chang'anfang.

Chang'anfang is located in the middle of the West District and the East District. Close to the West District, it is a commercial area. There are basically various shops here. One thing these shops have in common is that they are not gorgeous enough, but similarly, the products sold here The prices of things are not very high either.

Upon entering Fang District, Lu Jian saw carrot cakes sold at a stall not far away. There were two kinds of carrot cakes, green and white. They were both made to look like little rabbits. They were fat and soft. It looks delicious when it's cooked.

"Auntie, how do you sell this carrot cake?"

Lu Jian stood in front of the stall and stared at the carrot cake and asked. She had seen it in Ping'an Town before, but the carrot cake in Ping'an Town was not as exquisite as it was made, but it tasted good. She went to buy it twice.

"My carrot cake is the best in the city. It only costs three cents each. If you buy seven, it only costs twenty cents."

The boss is a chubby lady who smiles kindly and speaks with a little pride.

"Then give me seven."

"okay."

The landlady agreed, took the paper bag, and packed the carrot cake for Lu Jian. She was very fast and neat, which did not match her chubby image at all.

"Here, it's a bit hot, eat slowly."

When handing the bag to Lu Jian, the boss smiled and warned him. Lu Jian smiled and agreed, took the bag and left. The boss was stunned. Just as he was about to call Lu Jian, a slender white hand stretched out. , holding twenty coins in his hand.

"Here, the money for the carrot cake."

The boss took it blankly, stared at Tang Ying's leaving figure, and couldn't help but mutter: "What a handsome young man."

Tang Ying didn't hear it. He sped up and caught up with Lu Jian. Just now he saw a book that he had been looking for for a long time. When he went in to buy the book, Lu Jian had already run to the carrot cake stall without even noticing it. He didn't follow.

"Do you like this carrot cake?"

Lu Jian was not walking very fast, and Tang Ying caught up with him immediately. He glanced at the paper bag, but the effort of just a few steps was lost by half.

"It's okay. It's good to eat it once in a while."

Lu Jian said and handed the carrot cake he just took out to Tang Ying.

"Try it, this one is indeed more delicious than the one in Ping'an Town."

Carrot cake, as the name suggests, is a pastry made of radish and glutinous rice flour. The taste is relatively bland, so it is naturally not very delicious to Lu Jian. He only eats meat often and eats vegetarian food once in a while and it is not bad.

After all, she is not picky about meat, but she is somewhat picky about vegetarian dishes.

Tang Ying took it, took a bite and nodded: "It's not bad."

"You like it?" Lu Jian was a little surprised. She rarely heard Tang Ying praise his food: "Then I will often buy it for you."

"No, as you said, it's good to eat it once in a while, but if you eat it often, no matter how delicious it is, it won't taste good."

In fact, Tang Ying just thought that this was a rare vegetarian food that Lu Jian liked, so he praised it. In fact, he himself was not very concerned about what he ate.

"Okay," Lu Jian nodded, ate the last carrot cake in two bites, and then looked at a shop not far away: "Mr., there are a lot of people over there."

Tang Ying looked over and saw that it was a bookstore called Hanlin. The store was not big, but the signboard was a bit old. It seemed to be an old store.

At this time, there were many people surrounding the door of the store. Although it was unclear what happened inside, judging from the situation, there must have been some dispute. Tang Ying had no intention of meddling in other people's business, so he nodded lightly: "Well, it should be Is there any dispute?"

Lu Jian became interested when she heard there was a dispute. She didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but after coming here, she became interested in listening to gossip.

At first, I listened to other people’s trivial things just to understand the world and learn something useful. However, after listening to it for a long time, I gradually developed a mind of gossip.

However, she is the kind of person who likes to listen to gossip, but doesn't like to talk or gossip with others. The main reason is that no one talks to her. At this time, when she heard Tang Ying said that there was a dispute, she wanted to take a look.

"Shall we take a look?"

Seeing Lu Jian's slightly shining eyes, Tang Ying originally wanted to leave directly, but changed his mind about taking Lu Jian to a restaurant for dinner. It was still early anyway, and Lu Jian had just eaten carrot cake. It would be the same for him to eat later. .

"Row."

After saying that, Tang Ying naturally took Lu Jian's hand and walked over.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement outside the shop. After the two of them walked over, Lu Jian couldn't see what was going on inside at all. However, Tang Ying, relying on his height advantage, could see a young man who looked like a scholar and a middle-aged man. conflict.

"Ms. sir, did you see what happened?"

Because he couldn't see it and the people around him spoke in confusion, Lu Jian could only ask Tang Ying beside him.

"It's not clear yet."

After all, I saw the big man scolding the young man. The young man blushed but couldn't say anything.

The woman standing next to the two couldn't help but turn around when she heard what the two said. She was attracted by Tang Ying at first sight. Even though she was in her thirties, she could become a grandmother in a few years. , was still attracted by Tang Ying's appearance, and was in a trance before coming back to his senses.

After looking at Lu Jian next to Tang Ying, his eyes lit up again. Sure enough, people around good-looking people will also be good-looking. This girl looked very charming and charming.

"I know, can I tell you something?"

Lu Jian and Tang Ying looked at the woman who spoke to her at the same time, nodded and said, "Okay."

The tacit understanding between the two made Li Qiuxia feel happy immediately. She tried her best to suppress her desire to gossip about the two of them, and then she told what she knew.

"Actually, the young man came here to buy books, and the butcher Zhang also brought his son to buy books. As a result, his son's wallet disappeared. The young man's wallet was exactly the same as the wallet of Butcher Zhang's son, so the butcher Zhang said The young man stole his son’s money bag, but the young man refused to admit it.”

"The most important thing is that besides the owner, there are only three of them in the shop. The boy can't provide any evidence to prove that he didn't steal it, but Butcher Zhang's son can tell the details of the pattern on the money bag and all the details. That's right, although I don't think that young man is a thief, but it's not clear."

"How come two people's wallets are exactly the same?"

Lu Jian was curious, and Li Qiuxia also nodded: "Yes, unless the two purses are made by the same person, but this is very unlikely, and even if they are made by the same person, they cannot be exactly the same."

Lu Jian nodded, and she agreed with this. Just like the knots made by Zhou, even if they are of the same style, they will be slightly different. Moreover, generally everyone makes things like money bags by themselves, and rarely do they. If someone buys it, even if they do, the details will be different for easy differentiation.

“The possibility is small but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.”

When Lu Jian and Li Qiuxia were talking, Tang Ying had already understood and then said these words.

Lu Jian immediately raised his head and looked at him: "Ms. sir, did you see something?"

Tang Ying lowered his head slightly, looked at Lu Jian and said, "Just a money bag cannot prove it, but copper coins can."

"How to say?"

Now it wasn't just Lu Jian who was curious, Li Qiuxia was also curious. Even the few people nearby who heard them quietly pricked up their ears to hear what Tang Ying had to say.

"The scholar doesn't seem to be from a very good family, and the butcher Zhang should be a pork seller. Their copper coins must be different for these two people. Butcher Zhang's money should be money from selling meat, and it will be contaminated with oil. Flowers, that boy’s won’t.”

Tang Ying didn't say money bag, just copper coins. The people around him suddenly understood what he meant, and they all became excited. They originally thought that the young man didn't look like a thief, but Butcher Zhang's son just said that. That's right, no one said anything.

Now that he knew a better way to distinguish, he naturally started to encourage him. At this moment, Tang Ying pulled Lu Jian's hand. Lu Jian immediately understood and followed Tang Ying away from here and walked into a restaurant not far away. .

This restaurant is not big, but the tables are clean and the waiters are friendly. There are also many diners in the restaurant.

"What do you two guests want to eat? Our signature dishes, Babao Sweet Pork and Braised Carp, are both very good. Do you want to try them?"

The waiter led the two of them to sit down at a clean table and enthusiastically recommended it. Lu Jian knew about braised carp, but this was the first time he heard about this eight-treasure sweet meat, and he was immediately curious.

"What is eight-treasure sweet meat?"

"Babao Sweet Pork is a dish made with glutinous rice, eight kinds of ingredients, and our store's special bean paste meat. It is sweet but not greasy, soft and glutinous and delicious. Many people like it very much."

"Then just have one portion each, and then serve a meat dish, a lighter vegetable dish and a soup."

Lu Jian made the decision immediately after hearing this, but the waiter was a little hesitant.

"Sir, the dishes in our store are a bit large. If you order so much, is it too much?"

After hearing the waiter's tactful reminder, Tang Ying realized that it was not good for them to sit in the lobby to eat, so before Lu Jian spoke, he said, "It doesn't matter, we have friends together, but do you have a private room here?"

"Have."

Knowing that the two of them had friends to eat with, the waiter felt relieved. Although it was none of his business if the guests paid for it, if they couldn't finish the meal, waste was always bad.

Lu Jian also reacted when Tang Ying spoke, and then the two of them followed the waiter into a private room.

"Tang Ying, am I embarrassed because I eat too much?"
