Brewmaster

This was not the first time in Xiaohuarong's memory that he had entered the city, but it was indeed the first time in his memory that he had penetrated into such a prosperous town.

Not to mention that today's rally in Beijing was even more lively than usual.

Sugar people, sugar paintings, masks, candied haws, tea, rice wine, meat, silk, satin, jewellery, and spices—these things that are not difficult to see on weekdays are second—besides these, there are cricket fighters, fortune tellers, storytellers, and others. Yu, who set up the stage and sang operas, gathered in the streets of the capital, and there was a lot of traffic, which was really spectacular.

There are novelties everywhere that he has never seen before, and Xiao Huarong looks around and is dizzying.Because it was sometimes dark around him, Xiao Huarong was not timid at all, he boldly looked at the bustling scene in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but brighten a little.

Seeing him happy, Shi Mu immediately felt that it was worth the trip.

Jiang wanted to play with his smaller father at first, Shi Mu held Xiao Huarong's hand on one side, and he went to hold the other hand.Facing the beautiful face that was suddenly much smaller than him, Jiang seemed to be putting on the airs of an elder brother.

However, Jiang soon couldn't hold on to this arrogance. Although he had been in the capital for a long time, Jiang did not participate in the previous gatherings. This was the first time he had seen such a lively scene. I've seen it, I just want to play with it!

So after a while, Jiang let go of Xiao Huarong's hand, slid into the crowd, and disappeared immediately.

You Wutong followed Jiang every step of the way, Shi Mu wasn't worried at all, and let him go.

This time only Shi Mu was left holding Huarong's hand.

Xiao Huarong is short, so it's okay in the distance, but when she enters the crowd, she loses her head, except when she stands in front of the stall, she can only see the legs of everyone passing by.

Thanks to the fact that everyone around him subconsciously avoided the fairy Shi Mu, otherwise Xiao Huarong would not know how to be squeezed.

Shi Mu was quite bold and careful, and he had been paying attention to Huarong all the time, so he couldn't help but pick up Xiao Huarong and sit on his arm when he saw this, so that he could see the scene behind the crowd.

Xiao Huarong naturally wouldn't refuse Shi Mu to hug him this time, instead, after being surprised for a moment, she quietly hugged Shi Mu's neck.

Shi Mu felt the slightly warm touch on his neck, hooked the corners of his lips, and held Xiao Huarong more firmly.

Because Xiao Huarong was also hugged by Gao Gao, he and Shi Mu got closer, which made it easier for the two of them to talk in a low voice.

Shi Mu walks in the crowd with Xiao Huarong as if he is in the middle of no one's land, with a relaxed and carefree expression, completely unlike other people who take three steps and then are pushed back two steps, and when he squeezes out of the crowd, he is disheveled and wants to wear shoes One was stepped on.

Everyone was busy shopping for games at the rally, but no one noticed Shi Mu and Xiao Huarong's abnormality.Shi Mu kept walking leisurely while introducing new things in the city to Hua Rong.

Shi Mu first pointed to those vendors and said: "Everything is about bartering. In the city, you use the silver taels issued by the government to exchange for what you want."

Xiao Huarong nodded.

Xiao Huarong only looks like five or six years old because of her height, but she is actually not that old.In the past with Hua Jiuqi, Xiao Huarong seldom lived in this city, and did not pay special attention to the life in this city. In addition, Hua Jiuqi is also a guy who doesn't care about ordinary people, so he never thought of teaching Xiao Huarong these things.

Therefore, Xiao Huarong seems to be precocious and strong in martial arts, but actually lacks a bit of common sense.

As Shi Mu said, he stuffed a small purse into Xiao Huarong's hand, and asked him to take out three copper coins, and went to the street to buy a bunch of candied haws.

Shi Mu took the bright red candied haws wrapped in syrup with his free hand, stuffed it to Xiao Huarong as usual, and said, "It's not too sweet, give it a try."

Shi Mu knew that Huarong didn't like things that were too sweet, and the little one in front of him probably did the same.

Seeing that Shi Mu still had to hug her, Xiao Huarong hurriedly took the candied haws, but brought it to Shi Mu's mouth first, and said, "Big brother eat first."

Shi Mu took down a red fruit with a smile, and said vaguely: "Okay, you can eat it and leave me alone."

Only then did Xiao Huarong obediently take a bite.He is small, unable to eat one at a time like Shi Mu, and in the end can only leave a small tooth mark on the red fruit, which looks quite cute.

This red fruit is sweet and juicy, with a refreshing taste. Xiao Huarong has never eaten it before, but now she likes it too, and she doesn't want to enjoy it alone, so she shares one with Shi Mu.

Although Shi Mu told Xiao Huarong not to worry about him, but he was happy when someone fed him, so he fulfilled Xiao Huarong's wish.

While talking, Shi Mu didn't forget to walk forward, and continued to see if there was any delicious food to buy.It just so happened that the two of them ate the red fruit to whet their appetites, and they could eat more.

At twilight, he went looking for something to eat with his beautiful face.

In this market, there are all kinds of delicacies from Tianyuan Continent. Shi Mu bought a piece of bean paste cake and two fried buns while walking, and then walked to the small stove selling tea eggs.

The seller of the tea eggs was an old couple. They had a bit of ingenuity in their hearts. They used gauze and leaves to boil the leaves of the tea eggs on the surface, which was very flattering.There are many people selling tea eggs on this street, and there are only a lot of people gathered in front of his small stove.

——Who has never eaten tea eggs, and bought them just for fun.

Surrounded by the small stove were a few children with croissant braids, each holding a patterned tea egg in his hand and reluctant to peel it off.

The old couple were delighted to have sold the tea eggs, and smiled and persuaded them to stay away from the fire before playing, so as not to get hurt.

Xiao Huarong looked novel.

Shi Mu bought two more tea eggs, one in the shape of a ginkgo leaf, and the other in the shape of an unknown flower.The cracks knocked out for taste are hidden behind the pattern, and you can't see it unless you look closely.

Xiao Huarong held two warm tea eggs in her hands, and she was a little reluctant to peel them off for a moment.

But Xiao Huarong hesitated for a moment, and still peeled off one, the eggshell was carefully received in her hand, without leaking to the ground, and then freed up a hand to hand the brown tea egg to Shi Mu.

Some spices are added to the soup for boiling tea eggs. Under the high temperature, people can smell the salty aroma from a long distance, and can't help but salivate.

Shi Mu likes sweetness, but he can't resist the salty taste.

But he didn't directly eat the egg with Xiao Huarong's hand, but cast a spell, a soft white light flashed in Xiao Huarong's palm, and the broken eggshells were bathed in the white light and swirled one by one, turning into their original appearance , even the cracks that were deliberately touched are gone.

Xiao Huarong was even more surprised now, and very happy, her eyes were shining when she looked at Shi Mu.

Shi Mu smiled and said, "Peel off that one too."

Xiao Huarong was originally reluctant to peel it off, but only wanted to peel one off for Shi Mu to eat.

Seeing his thoughts, Shi Mu showed the spell to recover the eggshells, making Xiao Huarong feel relieved to peel the shells.

They come and go, and they don't know who will take care of the other when these two go out together.

After hearing Shi Mu's words, Xiao Huarong finally felt relieved, so she fed Shi Mu the tea egg, and happily peeled off the other one and ate it in small bites.

Shi Mu can eat by himself with one hand, but he is more than happy to have Xiao Huarong to feed him, so why bother?

With a smile on his face, Shi Mu repeated the old trick and recovered the other eggshell.

So the two wandered around the meeting for a while, ate a lot, and finally had two more small eggshells in their hands that they could take home.

After crossing the tea egg, there were fewer people. Before Shi Mu had time to feel at ease, he found that most people gathered in and out of a shop in front, almost occupying the market.

Taking a closer look, the shop is full of beautifully dressed girls.

Shi Mu smelled the smell of makeup and powder in the air, so he said to Xiao Huarong: "All the rouge and powder are sold there, mostly for girls to dress up." When Shi Mu said this, he twisted again. Looking at Xiao Huarong with a teasing look, "If Xiao Rong likes it, you can try it when you grow up."

Although these things are mostly used by girls, it is not uncommon for Dazhao to be cute.

Although Huarong didn't understand half of it, she still shook her head instinctively.

Shi Mu sighed with regret.

——Now that Xiao Huarong can't be persuaded, it seems that he won't be able to see the big Huarong who puts powder on his eyebrows in the future.

It's just a little less fun.

Shi Mu didn't chase after Xiao Huarong, and continued to tell him about the embroidered clothes shop, the craftsmen who forged iron and smelting utensils, and the flags of the Escort Bureau that can be seen from a distance, and told Xiao Huarong about the various ways of making a living in the capital.

These things were things that Xiao Huarong had never heard or seen before, and since Shi Mu was talking about them, he listened more carefully, wishing to write down every word Shi Mu said.

Shi Mu also spoke seriously and interestingly.

Afterwards, the two watched a storyteller and a play. The storyteller was spitting and won applause from all the halls, and the theater troupe sang and played a poignant love, which earned the audience weeping.

However, Xiao Huarong seems to have lacked this sentimental string since she was a child, and she was never moved by the excitement of being lifted up. He watched the people on the stage try their best to perform with a blank face, and Shi Mu looked at him with a smile on his face. expression.

This is also in line with Shi Mu's wishes, watching movies and listening to books is just for the sake of Xiao Huarong who has never seen it before, after all eating is the last word.

After leaving the stage, Xiao Huarong put on a new mask on her head, hanging obliquely on the side of her forehead.It didn't go far, and I saw the small circle of jugglers again.

Shi Mu has seen this pair of performing arts brothers and sisters several times in the city, their "first arrival in expensive land" argument is no longer tenable, and their tricks are no longer as novel as they were when they first came. people field.

Shi Mu had just glanced at it casually, but unexpectedly saw Jiang in the crowd, and with another glance, he saw Wutong leaning on the railing in the teahouse opposite to drink tea.

He and Huarong came straight together, the speed of the two was not slow, Wutong even drank tea.

Shi Mu hugged Huarong and walked to Jiang's side, and the younger sister who was performing arts just happened to be holding a copper gong to ask everyone to hold a money market, most of the crowd retreated, only a few copper plates fell into the gong.

People who are hotheaded and spend a lot of money on this are only in the story books.

Jiang also lost three or five copper coins, and before Shi Mu asked, he said, "Jiang also saw that they didn't tell the truth." , going through hardships" and other deeds that made people cry, "but Jiang also watched it for a long time, so he should give some."

Although they didn't take their words seriously, the brothers and sisters really worked hard and deserved the silver taels.

Shi Mu rubbed his hair and asked, "Did Wutong tell you?"

Jiang shook his head: "Jiang thought of it himself." He looked at Shi Mu hesitantly, "Is that right?"

Shi Mu smiled and said: "There is no right or wrong, as long as Jiang is willing." After Shi Mu said this, he glanced at the warm face of Wutong on the teahouse, and said, "But this time, no matter whether it's Daddy or Wutong, Approve Jiang's approach. Jiang is really powerful."

Ginger rejoiced.

Xiao Huarong listened thoughtfully.

I don't know if Jiang did something that "brother" should do by mistake this time.

He didn't know that Xiao Huarong had overheard his words, only heard Shi Mu's praise, and smiled sweetly.
