Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

"Qingque, hurry up, we still have a lot of official business." On the street of Jinren Lane, a pink-haired girl urged a somewhat lazy fortune teller beside her, her face puffed up, as if she was not very satisfied with her assistant.

"Master Taibu, it's just dawn and you..." The blue-clothed girl, who was almost as tall as the pink-haired girl, seemed a little dissatisfied with the accusation of her superior, "We haven't had breakfast yet. It's too early to eat before going to Taibusi."

"I'm not keeping an eye on you. Are you going to Changletian to play cards again today? I heard that you made an appointment with your card-playing partners yesterday." This pink-haired loli is the current head of Xianzhou Taibu Division, Taibu Fu Xuan, and Xianzhou Liuyu.

The fortune teller beside her who loves to slack off is Qingque. Because of slacking off, she was demoted again and again and is now the librarian of the Taibu Division. If it weren't for her good talent, Fu Xuan wouldn't have focused on her, but now he just feels a little disappointed.

"It's unfair, Master Taibu." Qingque said pitifully. "Well... I heard that there is a new delicacy in Jinren Lane recently. Since I'm here, I might as well try it before going to Taibusi~"

"It's you who wants to eat, right? I don't have such an appetite." Fu Xuan held his forehead, but didn't say much. No matter what, he couldn't let his subordinates not eat.

"Thank you, Master Taibu - I heard from my poker friends, what is it called... Golden Shrimp Balls, Master Taibu might like it too. It's still early, and I heard that it looks good. If you go too late, it will be gone." When it comes to the content related to fishing, Qingque can talk about it very clearly. Eating is of course a compulsory course for fishing. Eating and drinking well are the greatest pleasures in life.

Poker friends...poker friends...poker friends again. Fu Xuan tried hard not to get angry.

Qingque led Fu Xuan around and around, and soon they arrived in front of Wanmin Hall. At this moment, there was already a long queue at Wanmin Hall. Even though the store was not open yet, the entrance was already crowded with people.

So prosperous.

Fu Xuan, who had seen many things, was also shocked by the scene before him. There were not many workaholics like her in Luofu. Getting up early was more painful than killing them. The fact that so many people got up early just to taste a bite of delicious food was enough to show how extraordinary this store was.

Although Fu Xuan himself is not very interested in catering, who would have a problem with delicious food?

"There are so many people...it's already so early." Qingque sighed. His poker friend's description was still conservative.

"This beauty is here for the first time, right?" Since they were waiting anyway, the person in front of Qingque started to talk to her. Qingque was a beautiful girl after all, and her lively and cheerful aura made her seem more approachable, and her temperament alone could attract many people.

Compared to Fu Xuan's coldness, Qingque's personality is somewhat opposite to hers.

"Yes, yes." Qingque nodded and said, "How many times has the uncle come here?"

"Hey - I came this early for three days and didn't get to eat once. But the description makes me want to stop. I believe I won't be so unlucky today."

"Business is so hot, why not make more? After all, no one will feel bad for Xun Di, right?"

"Don't you know? The owner is just a kid. He tries his best to satisfy the customers, but he is just one person after all, and his ability is limited."

"child?"

Fu Xuan was also intrigued by this topic. He looked at the little boy setting up the stall from afar with his beautiful eyes, and the long dragon began to move.

Short-lived species are actually not uncommon in Xianzhou Luofu, but most of the stores that have them are not short-lived species. Because of the lack of inheritance issues, short-lived species cannot compete with the long-lived species.

Fu Xuan has a little admiration for those who strive for self-improvement, but that's all.

"Hey? This person? I am a humble man who doesn't recognize a great man. I didn't perform any etiquette when I met the Grand Bu." The man glanced at the pink-haired loli behind Qingque. After seeing clearly, he immediately realized that this was Grand Bu Fu Xuan, who was second only to General Luofu.

"I don't need these empty formalities." Fu Xuan shook his head. The people of Xianzhou actually don't have much fear of high-ranking officials. People like this who are a bit radical should be a minority.

Of course Fu Xuan would not cut in line just because he was the Grand Fortune Teller, so he just stood there obediently.

After waiting in line for a long time, it was finally Qingque and Fu Xuan's turn.

It was very lucky, but also very unfortunate, as there was only one golden shrimp left.

"How many Xundi?" Qingque drooled as he looked at the shrimp balls emitting golden light. Fortunately, the eldest brother in the queue in front of him was tactful enough to leave one for him, probably because of Fu Taibu's consideration. Otherwise, he would have waited in vain for so long.

"1 Xundi, 5 pieces. If you want to eat one, just take it for free. This is the only one left." Mo Feng said.

"So cheap? No... free?" Qingque was puzzled. There was only one left. Even if he couldn't pay for the Xundi, he could pay for the credit points.

"Yeah." Mo Feng nodded.

"Then I'd better obey your command..." Qingque took the packaged shrimp balls, but Fu Xuan took them away.

"Master Taibu, you—" Qingque made a loud noise in protest. Master Fu Xuan, you can't do this. Why don't we each take half? Don't take it all by yourself.

"This Xundi is for you, and the extra one is a tip." Fu Xuan took out the Xundi and placed it on the table.

She would not accept favors from others casually, even if he did not intend to do so. However, the somewhat arrogant Fu Taibu just did not like the feeling of owing favors to others. She and Qingque were completely different in this respect.

But at the moment when Fu Xuan looked at Mo Feng, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity from within. Maybe it was an illusion.

"Thank you, Master Bu." Although Mo Feng had never seen Fu Xuan, he had heard that the current Luofu Bu was a pink-haired loli. Combined with what Qingque had just said, he could infer that the person standing in front of him was the Xianzhou Bu. He would not be so ignorant as to disobey the Bu's wishes.

"I wish you a prosperous business." Fu Xuan didn't think any more about it. He picked up Qingque and left. Of course, he used a little bit of the power of destiny, otherwise it would not be so easy to lift a person of similar size to himself with just his arm strength.

"Master Taibu... give me a bite... just one bite..." Qingque cried like a child who had not grown up.

Fu Xuan put Qingque down and threw the wrapped shrimp balls to her.

"Huh?" Qingque took the shrimp ball and didn't think of how to say it for a moment.

"Get rid of this habit of taking advantage of small gains. Besides, it's not easy for him to be so diligent." Fu Xuan didn't say much and continued walking towards Taibusi.

"Master Taibu, don't you want to eat?"

"Eat if you want. Don't mind my business."

"Half for each." Qingque cut the shrimp ball into two, handed one to Fu Xuan, and then swallowed the one in his hand in one gulp.

It is oily but not greasy, crispy and delicious, sliding across the mouth, the delicious flavor lingers on the lips and teeth.

It was indeed a delicacy that he had waited so long to eat. Qingque instantly felt that his wait was worthwhile.

"It's delicious, Lord Bu, please try it." Qingque said with a smile.

Fu Xuan was not polite, but he didn't eat as voraciously as Qingque did. He tasted the food in small bites and ate four bites of a small half shrimp ball.

"How does it taste?" Qingque looked at Fu Xuan with shining eyes.

"It's okay." Fu Xuan said.

He turned his face away and a smile appeared involuntarily on the corner of his mouth.
