10. Honey Three Swords

After Ji Pingan came out from shopkeeper Zhang's house, he went to Jiang craftsman's house, but he didn't meet Jiang craftsman himself, and it was Jiang craftsman's wife who received him.

After hearing Ji Ping'an's explanation of his intentions, Mrs. Jiang bowed apologetically: "Xiaolang Ji's family is really sorry, too many houses have been damaged this time, and my husband really can't get away recently."

Ji Pingan nodded understandingly: "I know, I'm here to ask Master Jiang when he's free. I'll make an appointment with him first, so I can feel at ease."

Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, she said with a smile: "So that's the case, it's easy to handle, I can make the decision."

As she spoke, she took out a booklet from her sleeve, opened the booklet, and saw lines of tiny characters written on it.Looking closely, I saw names and addresses written on it, followed by some symbols that Ji Pingan couldn't understand.

Mrs. Jiang said affirmatively: "There must be no time before this year, because your house collapsed and needs to be rebuilt. My husband will give priority to helping you build the house. In this way, on the day when the Lantern Festival falls next year, you will come again. There will be a definite date in time."

Ji Pingan nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'm sorry. Do I need to pay a deposit now?"

Mrs. Jiang quickly said: "How can we collect a deposit if the date has not been set, and it will not be too late to pay when the date is set!"

Mrs. Jiang neatly wrote Ji Ping'an's name on the last line. After putting away the booklet, Mrs. Jiang sighed: "I wouldn't be so busy at first, it's all a disaster. I only hope that the demon god beat me this time." After that, never come to our Pingqiao Town again.”

Ji Pingan sighed, "Yes."

However, Pingqiao Town is not a big place, and the demon god just passed by unintentionally during the fight.Ji Pingan thinks they won't come again... right?

After leaving Craftsman Jiang's house, Ji Ping'an's goal for today was achieved.Then it was time to go shopping, and Ji Pingan didn't realize that Xiaobai was gone until this time!

Xiaobai who had been squatting on his shoulders disappeared at some point!

Could it be that he was squeezed out when he was not paying attention?It shouldn't be, Xiaobai can talk, if it falls, it will stop itself.

So... Could it have been stolen?

Not to mention, who would steal such a thin kitten?

Ji Pingan broke out in a cold sweat. In a panic, he thought of a possibility - could Xiao Bai get tired and go to sleep in the back basket?

Thinking of this, Ji Pingan quickly put down the basket.I probed inside and saw that the little white cat was really well huddled in the back basket.It's just that it doesn't look very energetic, and it's listless.

Xiaobai rested his head on the old clothes that Ji Pingan had prepared for him.The clothes were stained with Ji Ping'an's breath, smelling this smell, he felt the noise in his head go away a little.

Just when Xiaobai was listless, he felt a burst of warmth from the top of his head.Looking up, it was Ji Pingan who was stroking his head.

Ji Pingan said softly, "Are you tired? I've settled my affairs, and now I'm going to go shopping. I'll treat you to something good."

Xiaobai raised his head listlessly, looking at Ji Ping'an's gentle eyes, he felt a ray of sunshine in his gloomy heart.

Seeing that Xiaobai was a little silly, Ji Pingan asked worriedly, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

Xiaobai stared at Ji Pingan for a while, then called his name: "Ping An."

Ji Ping'an, according to the king's words, report peace.What a man and what a name.

Before Xiaobai always thought that Ping'an was such a common word, how could he feel the beauty of Ping'an after it became Ji Ping'an's name?

Ji Pingan responded: "Huh? What's the matter?" This was the first time Xiaobai called him by his name!

Xiaobai shook his head, and he drove out the annoying voices in his mind: "Let's go shopping together!"

He is a decisive demon emperor, even if something happens that he can't do anything about, he won't struggle for too long.Rather than wallowing in gloomy emotions, it is better to muster up the spirit and look forward.

He can't do anything about the dead, but he always has a way to make up for the living!

Pingqiao Town suffered a catastrophe once in a century, and many shops doing business were affected.Ji Pingan walked a few streets but didn't see many shops open, and even the shops that opened didn't sell as many items as usual.

He promised to treat Xiaobai to eat something good, and Ji Pingan would not break his promise.

Standing in front of a shop that sells dim sum, he pointed to the pastries placed in the wooden lattice and said proudly: "Whatever you want to eat, you have the final say!"

noob:……

There are only four kinds of dim sum in the whole shop, and one of them is almost sold out... This is really a shabby treat.

Xiaobai has no research on human snacks, and he is not a monster who pays attention to appetite: "Anything is fine."

Ji Pingan smiled, and he knew that Xiao Bai was a good cat.Well-behaved and not picky, he can raise a dozen of such cats.

He greeted the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, help me weigh the dim sum."

The store owner hurriedly stood behind the booth and grabbed a piece of yellow oil paper: "What kind of oil do you want, sir?"

Ji Pingan looked at the dim sum in the grid: "Let's bring a catty of everything. The store doesn't have too many dim sum today."

The store owner was also full of grievances: "Hey, don't mention it. The price of goods has skyrocketed these days, and the supplies from Fu'an City have not arrived yet. It is not easy to make these kinds of products."

During the conversation, the shopkeeper neatly gave Ji Pingan three kinds of pastries, why did he say pockets?It's because the shopkeeper's hands are so fast, he didn't even need to look at it, just picked up a few pastries and put them in the oiled paper bag, then pinched the four corners of the oiled paper and folded it, a square pastry bag is like this Formed!

Just when the shop owner was about to pick up the fourth type of pastry, Ji Pingan said: "Shop shop, don't make this kind of pastry, I want to eat it right now."

The shopkeeper smiled: "Okay, it just so happens that there are only a few grains of Misandao left, so I'll give it to you."

As he spoke, he casually picked up the wooden grid where Misan Dao was placed, and the snacks in the grid rolled onto the oiled paper. The shopkeeper gently folded the corner of the oiled paper and handed it to Ji Pingan: "Take it."

As the shopkeeper said, the price of goods has skyrocketed these days, and the price of cakes has also risen. It used to cost ten yuan to buy a catty of cakes, but now it costs thirteen yuan to buy a catty of cakes.

Ji Pingan took out the money bag from his sleeve, counted 52 copper coins out of it, and handed it to the shopkeeper.The store only charged him fifty copper coins: "It's an old business, and I will come here often in the future."

It was the first time for Wu Mo to see human beings buying and selling things, and he found it quite strange.He felt that the attitude of the dim sum seller was too good. In the demon world, you can buy dim sum whether you like it or not, but if you buy it, you have to pay for it.

If the owner of this dim sum shop is a demon cultivator, he will probably be taken for a ride.

Ji Pingan put the three kinds of wrapped pastries on the bottom of the basket, then opened the oiled paper bag wrapped with honey three knives and picked up two brown-yellow honey three knives.

Huzi had already twirled the dough outside the basket, and as soon as Ji Pingan let go of one of the Misandaos, Huzi couldn't wait to take a mouthful of sweetness.

Ji Pingan handed this to Wumo: "Xiaobai, do you want to try this?"

As early as when Ji Pingan was buying dim sum, Wu Mo had already discovered the difference between Misandao and other pastries.The other three pastries, although different in shape, were each crisp, while this one was sticky and oily.

Misandao is one inch square, and the whole is brownish yellow. Its surface is covered with sesame seeds, and there are three shallow scratches on one side.The whole dim sum seems to be soaked in honey, and the honey inside is almost overflowing.

The Misandao that the store gave Ji Ping'an was the last one left. It may be that the cakes piled up on the top had too much honey soaked out of it. Smell the sweetness from Misandao.

Compared with those exquisite dim sum in the demon world, Mi Sandao's image is not cute.Xiaobai is not a sweet demon, he thinks he should not like this kind of human cakes.

Seeing that Xiaobai didn't speak, Ji Pingan just thought that Misandao was too big for him to speak.So he stretched out his hand and pinched a corner the size of a fingernail, and the missing corner of Misandao revealed the oily yellow inside.

Ji Pingan handed the small piece of honey three knives to Xiaobai: "It's convenient to eat now, why don't you try it?"

Seeing Ji Ping'an's sincere expression, Xiao Bai was really embarrassed to let him down.So he opened his mouth and gently grabbed the piece of snack.

As soon as the dessert is in the mouth, a taste of honey bursts in the mouth.The aroma of sesame seeds mixed with the aroma of fried pastry went straight to the sky. When the teeth touched lightly, the honey hidden in the three knives flowed out cheerfully.

Before I tasted it carefully, the first sip of honey water rushed to my throat, and my mouth was full of sweetness.

Misandao is a kind of pastry that becomes more fragrant as you chew it. Xiaobai originally thought it would be sweet and greasy, but after chewing it, he found that it was not the case.It has a soft taste and the honey is not sticky.

After chewing a few times, Xiaobai understood why Misandao sold so quickly. When supplies are scarce, having such a sweet bite is a kind of happiness for people in suffering.

After eating this sweet, Xiaobai's gloomy mood became brighter.

Ji Pingan threw the Misandao in his hand into his mouth: "It's delicious~"

He can make a lot of pastries, but he can't do well with Misandao.But Pingqiao Town has something to sell, so just buy some when you want to eat.

Xiao Bai pouted, he admitted that he underestimated Mi Sandao: "Why is this pastry called Mi Sandao?"

Delicious dim sum, why such a strange name?

Ji Pingan said: "That's because there are three knives on each dim sum."

Xiaobai thought for a while: "Then why do you have to slash three times? Will it taste better? Then why not slash four times?"

Ji Pingan: ...

How does this make him answer?

After thinking for a while, Ji Pingan gave up struggling, and he said nonsense: "With the change of time, many dim sum recipes will change, but Misandao is different, you need to follow the ancient method. Draw three swords on the dim sum, It means that the same is true for all changes... right?"

The word 'ba' at the end was very light, which fully expressed Ji Ping'an's guilty conscience.

It's just that Xiaobai didn't hear it, and he was shocked: "It's like this!"

Before today, ordinary people were like ants in his eyes, their lives were short and fragile.Their longevity is only a few decades, and their bodies are not even as strong as wild beasts in the mountains and forests.No matter how you look at it, human beings are small and pathetic.

But after coming to Pingqiao Town, Xiaobai felt that his views on human beings had changed.

A person's power is very small, so they learned to use the power of the group together to build a house.A person's lifespan is very short, so they have words and stories, and even a pastry must be engraved with a truth... They use this method to teach future generations, so that they can avoid the detours that their ancestors took.

Xiaobai looked around at the humans pushing wooden carts to build houses, and he thought that he had always underestimated humans.

The author has something to say:

The first time I ate honey three knives was in college, a specialty brought by a classmate of mine from Xuzhou.At that time, the first bite felt particularly sweet, and after eating, the blood sugar soared in a straight line.A few days ago, my friend sent me Longsheng's pastry, which also has honey three knives in it, and it still tastes the same.

For people who lose weight, things like honey three knives are evil.If you are fat, you have to have two bites_(:з」∠)_
