Ma Xiaoshuai nodded. Actually, his words were a little exaggerated. Although seaweed and some beans could effectively suppress the probability of sudden heart disease, they were not medicine after all. Usually, eating them could only play a preventive role. Even so, it was still somewhat helpful for Dongfang Mu's condition.
Dongfang Xueyu nodded her head happily." Then, go ahead, husband. Remember to come back quickly."”
"Alright."
The "son-in-law" Butler Wang was worried because of the series of things that had happened in the past two days. Seeing that Ma Xiaoshuai was going to go out again, he was afraid that something would happen. He didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly said,"Guye, bring two servants with you.”
"No need."
"Guye, didn't you want to buy something? Let them carry it for you."
Ma Xiaoshuai thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said,""Alright then."
………………
As the capital of Murong Kingdom, Murong City was not only the center of culture and politics, but it was also a place where business was like a fish in water. Whether it was a dream of making a fortune or a simple life, there were many shops and vendors on both sides of the street. It was also because of this that Murong City was bustling. It was noon, and the streets paved with green stone slabs were crowded with people. It was very lively.
Ma Xiaoshuai walked with Dongfang Xueyu and looked around. Actually, the matter of buying these things could be handed over to the housekeeper or servant girls in the residence. However, Ma Xiaoshuai felt that he should do his best in front of Dongfang Xueyu. As for the other reason, it was mainly because he wanted to come out and take a look. He wanted to see if Murong City was as prosperous as he remembered.
In fact, Ma Xiaoshuai was not disappointed.
Feeling the laughter of the people around him, Ma Xiaoshuai's lips curled up, his eyes half-closed, and his footsteps gradually slowed down.
"Guye, there's a small stall selling beans over there.”
The servant who had been following behind Ma Xiaoshuai reminded him. Because Ma Xiaoshuai had told him before, he noticed a peddler selling beans by the roadside. However, this servant who had witnessed Ma Xiaoshuai defeating two assassins last night had always been in awe of this son-in-law who had suddenly changed. Although it was his duty, he dared not disturb Ma Xiaoshuai based on his expression. However, he could not help but blame Ma Xiaoshuai for not reminding him. He could only bite the bullet and remind her.
"Hmm? Where is it?"
However, Ma Xiaoshuai didn't seem to be unhappy. He just slowed down and looked around.
The servant called Buttface heaved a sigh of relief and pointed to a place not far away.
"Over there."
"En, I saw it. Let's go."
Ma Xiaoshuai led the two servants behind him to a small stall with a few bags on the roadside.
The stall owner was a young man in his early twenties. He was holding a yellowed book and reading it seriously. Perhaps he was too engrossed in it, but he didn't notice it until Ma Xiaoshuai and the other two approached.
Ma Xiaoshuai was a bit curious. He stopped the two servants behind him who wanted to remind him and leaned forward. After a closer look, he found that the young man was holding a famous book in this world, the Records of Marquis Wu. Ma Xiaoshuai didn't think too much about it, but he knew that it was probably a smelting and manufacturing book, similar to the scientific books in his original world.
"Boss."
“……”
Ma Xiao Shuai shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't get angry.
"Ahem…Boss."
"Ah?"
The stall owner finally raised his head. What greeted Ma Xiaoshuai's eyes was a clean and delicate face. After a moment of confusion, his dark eyes seemed to realize his current identity. He immediately stood up and smiled apologetically.
"I'm sorry, I was too engrossed just now.”
"I'm fine."
Ma Xiaoshuai also smiled politely, but in his heart, he had a very high evaluation of this young man who didn't even smile humbly.
"What would Young Master like?"
The young man still had that bright and sincere smile on his face. Ma Xiaoshuai could guarantee that if this face and smile were in his original world, he would definitely be the target of the little girls 'crazy screams.
"Put all your soybeans and green beans in it. I want them all.”
In fact, Ma Xiaoshuai didn't want so much, but because he had a good impression of this young man, he took care of his business.
The young man seemed surprised.”
"Yes, I want both."
"Alright then."
After getting Ma Xiaoshuai's affirmative answer, the young man was obviously very happy. He agreed and started to work.
While the young man was busy, Ma Xiaoshuai asked the question that he had been wondering about.
"Boss, you look like a scholar."
The young man raised his head and smiled." Hey, what scholar? He just likes to read."”
"Oh? Was that so? However, from what I know, this Marquis Wu's Notes isn't something that ordinary people can obtain.”
Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the young man in front of him with a smile on his face. He was not wrong. The notes of Marquis Wu was not something that ordinary people could have. Even the unlucky son-in-law he possessed had only heard about it and had never seen it.
The young man sighed and said," To be honest, I was born into a wealthy family. However, due to the last series of events, I had no choice but to do some small business to support my family. As for the Marquis Wu's notes that Young Master mentioned, it was left behind by my grandfather.”
After the young man finished speaking, his eyes were a little lonely and sad as he buried his head and continued to work.
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, this young man's behavior was indeed not like a child from an ordinary family.
"I wonder what is recorded in this Marquis Wu's notes?”
"It's something that was smelted.”
"Boss, do you like to study these?"
"Oh, hehe, yes." The young man raised his head and said proudly,""My father used to be in charge of weapon and equipment manufacturing for the army in the palace. I was influenced by him since I was young and was very interested in these things.”
"Oh, I see."
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded and pondered.
"Young Master, the soybeans and green beans you wanted are ready. There's a total of half a tael of silver.”
The young man raised his head and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Oh, Er Gou, pay up."
Ma Xiaoshuai called the servants to take the two bags and said,""Farewell."
"Take care."
The young man bent his body slightly and watched Ma Xiaoshuai and the other two leave.
"Guye, what else do we need to buy?”
Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the pedestrians and peddlers on the street. He knew that the servant was urging him to go back as soon as possible, but he didn't want to go back so soon.
"I'll take a look. You guys take the things in your hands back to the residence first. There's no need to follow.”
"But, but Butler Wang ordered…" Ergou said with a troubled expression.
Ma Xiaoshuai waved his hand impatiently, his tone was a little unhappy,"Do you want to listen to Steward Wang or me?"”
The two servants lowered their bodies in fear and trepidation, saying that they did not dare to.
Ma Xiaoshuai didn't want to be entangled with them any longer. He said he would be back soon and left without waiting for them to say anything. He walked towards the more lively place.
The two servants looked at each other helplessly and turned to leave.
"This Murong City is indeed not bad."
Ma Xiaoshuai walked in the middle of the street, shuttling through the crowd with great interest.
"Hey, Young Master, come in and have some of our new…"
At this moment, they were approaching a small restaurant. At the door, a waiter was wearing a bright smile and constantly introducing the signature dishes in his restaurant. Ma Xiaoshuai didn't pay attention to the specific name, but it should be a plate of radish that was named Pearl Jade.
"Young Master, come in and eat."
Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the customers coming in and out of the restaurant. It seemed that the business was really good. It shouldn't be bad. He touched his stomach and felt a little hungry. He walked in with big steps. The waiter immediately smiled and led the way.
Walking through the door, Ma Xiaoshuai heard a commotion. He was stunned for a moment, but then he felt relieved. It must be different from the original world. Although the people here paid more attention to etiquette than the people in the 21st century, they did not have the moral habit of keeping quiet in public. In this world, the atmosphere was important when going out to drink and eat. It was a sign of generosity to speak loudly and drink loudly. It had nothing to do with quality.
The scene reminded Ma Xiaoshuai of the Jianghu Inn in the novel, but he didn't feel much disgust.
Thinking of this, the waiter brought Ma Xiaoshuai to a window seat on the second floor.
"Young Master, what do you want to eat?"
The child took the white towel on his shoulder and wiped the non-existent stains on the table. Perhaps it was his professional habit. Although the waiter's words were warm enough, his smile was somewhat flattering, which made Ma Xiaoshuai a little uncomfortable.
"Give me a few signature dishes and a pot of liquor.”
"Alright, Young Master, please wait a moment. The signature dish, a pot of wine…
The child shouted at the top of his lungs and went downstairs.
Ma Xiaoshuai looked around and suddenly remembered that the chivalrous men in Jianghu wine houses in novels would tell him some gossip or secret national affairs when they drank. This made Ma Xiaoshuai a bit excited and he immediately pricked up his ears to listen.
Ma Xiaoshuai was disappointed. Although he could hear what everyone was talking about effortlessly, he didn't hear any valuable information from them. The eavesdropping slowly faded away.
"Young Master, your side dish. Enjoy your wine."
Fortunately, the speed of serving dishes in this restaurant was not slow. When the child appeared again, the tray in his hand was filled with small dishes.
"You may leave."
"Alright, enjoy."
Ma Xiaoshuai copied the actions of the people around him and poured out a glass of wine, bringing it to his mouth and sniffing it first.
"It seems pretty good."
Ma Xiaoshuai muttered to himself as he poured the wine into his mouth and drank it in one gulp.
As the wine entered his stomach, a mellow fragrance spread throughout his body. Ma Xiaoshuai let out a comfortable sound and smacked his lips with some aftertaste. He thought that it was a good wine and immediately poured another cup greedily, drinking it like last time.
The restaurant continued to be noisy. Ma Xiaoshuai was drinking alone, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. However, it was time to taste the dishes of this world. Picking up the chopsticks, Ma Xiaoshuai was inexplicably looking forward to it.
However, the result disappointed Ma Xiaoshuai.
Although the dishes on the table were beautiful and appetizing, they didn't taste delicious when they entered his mouth. The cooking skills in this world were not advanced enough. For Ma Xiaoshuai, the cooking skills were not bad. As for the taste, it was far-fetched.
