Come to a shop.

Xue Rengui suddenly stopped.

He saw a long silk skirt hanging on the wall of the shop.

In his eyes, his wife was dancing gracefully in front of him in this long skirt, and her eyes became tender and sweet...

It must look good if you wear it!

He must be the most beautiful woman in the world!

He thought to himself.

Then, he couldn't help but walk up and asked, "Shopkeeper, how much does this long skirt cost?"

The shopkeeper came up with a smile and introduced to Xue Rengui: "Customer, you have a good vision. This long skirt is made of high-quality silk from Suzhou. It was personally handled by the famous tailor Wang in Chang'an. Look at the pattern, look at the thickness, as thin as a cicada's wing, and when worn on the body, it seems that it is not worn... The price is not expensive, it only costs thirty cents of money."

The shopkeeper did not look down on others just because Xue Rengui and others were dressed in shabby clothes.

On the contrary, he was very enthusiastic.

But Xue Rengui felt that he was offended.

Because, in his pocket, there are only a mere five stakes of money.

This was the money he and his brothers transported clay to Chang'an City and sold it to the pencil manufacturing factory, and shared it equally.

It's already a huge sum of money.

Unexpectedly, I couldn't afford a long skirt.

He looked unnatural, and for a moment he was a little panicked, and then stumbled out of the store.

When he came outside, he wasted a lot of effort. Xue Rengui bought some coarse cloth and prepared to take it back to let his wife make his own clothes.

Before leaving Dongshi, he looked back at the shop in the distance, and suddenly there was a little bitterness on his lips.

...

The next day.

Xue Rengui set out with his men.

When they came, they were just a few carriages and seven or eight people.

But when we returned, there were dozens of carriages and dozens of people, forming a huge convoy.

Among them are the men and horses led by Cheng Chubi.

The convoy left Chang'an.

It was almost noon, rest in a mountain stream.

Xue Rengui and others took out the dry food they carried with them and then went to the stream next to fetch water. They prepared to deal with it with dry food and cold water. They all came from Jinzhou and spent this way.

However, Cheng Chubi directed his people and began to make rice.

In a short while, the fragrance came to your nose.

Gugugugu.

The young people behind Xue Rengui looked at the dry food in their hands and suddenly felt that it was not delicious.

A young man said in surprise: "Dalang, they are eating chicken."

"It smells so good!"

"It smells so good!"

When the young people smelled the roast chicken that was drooling in the wind, they drooled in greed.

Xue Rengui didn't say a word.

At this time, Cheng Chubi ran over.

Cheng Chubi looked at the dry food in the hands of Xue Rengui and others with contempt, and asked, "Do you want to eat chicken?"

Without waiting for the people behind you to speak.

Xue Rengui hurriedly said, "Mr. Cheng, I brought my own dry food, and this dry food is also delicious. My cake was made for me by my wife. It is the best delicacy in the world. If you don't believe me, please see..."

Xue Rengui took a bite of dry food and took a sip of cold water.

I wanted to perform, but I didn't know that the dry and hard cake could not be chewed in my mouth.

In a panic, the pancake crumbs reached his throat, choking him to cough.

"Ahem cough cough..."

Xue Rengui coughed so much that his tears came out.

But there is infinite sadness in my heart.

Don't he want to eat the roasted hot chicken?

Think about it!

Want to eat so much!

However, the money in the pocket is not allowed.

He had to take all the remaining money back and hand it over to his wife, and he also planned to repair the house with his bare walls. How could he spend it halfway?

Seeing this, Cheng Chubi took out a few chickens and said, "No money, I'll give you free food..."

Don't have money?

The young men's eyes widened.

Xue Rengui also had an incredible face.

He asked, "Take it serious?"

Cheng Chubi picked up a chicken and stuffed it into Xue Rengui's hand: "Eat whatever you want, my uncle has money..."

As he said that, he turned around and ran away.

Xue Rengui took a bite under the gaze of his brothers.

Hmm!

So delicious!

The dry food made by my wife suddenly stopped fragrant.

While eating, Xue Rengui showed a complex look.

...

It's dark.

The convoy arrived outside a tavern next to the official road.

Xue Rengui and others opened the packages, took out their thick clothes, and planned to find a dry shelter to sleep for one night.

Cheng Chubi suddenly appeared and asked, "Xue Dalang, are you staying in a hotel? The store has good mutton and can eat mutton with warm wine. If you are willing to spend money, you can also go to the town to ask a few young ladies to serve and take a bath, or let the horse have a good meal..."

Xue Rengui and others were stunned when they heard this.

They have never lived in such a restaurant.

The conditions are so good?

Everyone's eyes shine.

But Xue Rengui still shook his head firmly. He had inquired about this kind of winery, which was not cheap at all.

It’s not that I don’t want to live!

But, I can't afford to live!

Seeing this, Cheng Chubi said, "Free, no money is spent..."

All the young people were moved.

Seeing Xue Rengui hesitating, they advised: "Dalang, I have grown up so old and have not been bathed by a woman. Please let me try it..."

"Dalang, I want to eat mutton."

"Dalang, I want to drink some wine to warm up my body."

The young men were all looking at Xue Rengui with their hands ready to go.

Xue Rengui looked at Cheng Chubi and said, "This... needs to spend the boss's money again, isn't that good?"

Cheng Chubi waved his hand and pulled Xue Rengui into the restaurant: "Don't worry, my uncle has money, not short of money..."

...

On the way back to Jinzhou from Chang'an.

Under the leadership of Cheng Chubi, Xue Rengui and others discovered more and more interesting aspects of life.

So, life is like this!
