Chapter 185 Order
In a word, this is such a beautiful big house that makes me a little uncomfortable. Maybe the embarrassment I was shocked when looking at the house was discovered by the clerk. He asked me next to me, "Master apprentice, isn't it something wrong with you?"
I looked back at the clerk and found a lot of uneasiness in his eyes and movements. His hands inadvertently rubbed and his toes gently moved half an inch. It seems that he is really simple here, but this is obviously very good! I can't figure out the reason for this, but the question always needs to be answered. Oh, it's good here. I'm very satisfied. Is the other one the same?" I'm really satisfied. When I sleep in such a house for one night, it seems that the price of a golden bean is not so expensive. It seems that I'm just a hairy boy who has never seen the world. I don't even know the mystery in the school city that has been growing up. It's so shallow.
"Yes, the two houses are exactly the same. I also opened the door over there. You can go and have a look." The guy lowered his body and made a move to ask me to go there.
Since it is the same, there seems to be no need to watch it. So I waved my hand and said, "No, you go down." I began to wonder whether to talk to the girl and then sleep in separate rooms.
"Uh..." The guy didn't leave." Apprentice, would you like dinner? Although our meal is not as noble as that of the apprentice in the new city, it also has a different flavor. Would you like some?
I am immune to this description of my buddy now. If he speaks like this, he may be very rich in food and drink. Of course, I can't even think of what it would be like to eat and drink a lot. Maybe a large piece of roast mutton with a large glass of wine? This is the most luxurious food and drink I can think of.
I don't have the habit of eating at night. For me, I sometimes eat half a piece of broken cake with the sunset, but usually, I have lunch and stop eating until tomorrow morning. The teacher told us that breakfast is very important. If you don't eat it, it will affect the memory and analytical ability of your brain. There are also courses in the afternoon, so you have to have lunch, but dinner seems dispensable. Hunger can keep people awake before going to sleep, and great scholars cherish this with hunger very much. Many great ideas are that the prototype was born in the tossing and turning of hunger. These words made us apprentices stunned, and everyone followed suit, so that most of the time, we are ashamed of eating after sunset, so I don't eat at night.
However, as I left the new city, it seemed that this deep-rooted sense of shame was also discounted. I didn't think about how eating would affect my thinking. What I thought was that although I didn't have the habit of eating dinner, girls must also have. Since I rescued her in the desert today, she doesn't seem to have drunk a mouthful of water. How can this work! She had fainted because of thirst. She must eat well in the evening to be able to get on the road tomorrow. This dinner is necessary. It's just... a little hesitant to have the money in hand.
I just bought a hairpin and spent half a golden bean, but I actually gave one to the vendor. And two houses cost two more golden beans. In this way, I have only four left in my pocket. These four golden beans have to afford to buy camels, dry food and water tomorrow. I thought it was very abundant, but the prices in the old city seem to be very different from those in the new city. Whether it is enough or not? . Now for dinner, if one person spends another golden bean for dinner, the remaining two golden beans will probably not be enough for camels and girls on the road.
No, I can't afford to spend this money, but the girl's body really can't starve anymore. How about this? I only need one person's dinner, so that I can save half of the money, which should be enough to spend tomorrow morning. I secretly made up my mind.
"Well, give this girl dinner and have something to drink. She hasn't drunk much water for a day." I said to the buddy.
"Then you..." The man asked immediately after listening to my words.
I know what he means. He must be asking me why I don't want a share. Since the girl next to me hasn't drunk water for a day, I should also be more thirsty. In fact, I'm really a little hungry. Although I usually don't eat after sunset, after the bumps of the sand boat today, I spit out all the crumbs I ate for lunch beside the black sand in the center of the desert. When I vomited, I didn't feel anything, but after walking so far, my empty stomach is indeed a little uncomfortable. But I really don't have enough money. Anyway, let the girl eat first.
"Our apprentices don't eat at night, which is a kind of practice for ourselves." I explained to my buddy that I didn't lie to him, which is indeed regarded as a practice among apprentices, and even those who can't sleep for a long time will be worshipped as heroes.
"How much is dinner per person?" After explaining why I didn't want dinner, I asked the buddy. It's better to ask about the price in advance. If you don't ask, you can't let go. As I said this, I put my hand into my pocket and squeezed the four golden beans that were about to move in my pocket tightly.
"Oh, that's it." The man bent down even more when he bowed. If you stay in the two best rooms in our inn, dinner is free and you don't need to pay. What's more, this is what we should do to entertain noble apprentices, but it's a pity that you can't feel the restaurant's respect for you with food because of your practice, but fortunately, your companions can still enjoy it. The man nodded slightly and paid tribute to the girl. And the girl also nodded as a return gift.
I can't wait to slap myself. Why don't you ask the price first and then say you don't eat it? If the order of these two questions is reversed, it will not be in this dilemma now. I can't say to my buddy now, "Oh, it's free. Then give me a copy." I'm a noble apprentice in his eyes. In that case, what's the difference between me and a scoundrel who can only take advantage of me? No, even if I'm hungry, I can't say that. The girl will laugh at me. I don't want her to think of me as a funny clown when she recalls me.
"Oh, my companions eat the same. Thank you very much for your hospitality." I almost gritted my teeth to say this politeness. When I spoke, I seemed to feel that my stomach was making a dead net protest, which made the hunger even heavier.
"Is dinner delivered to this room or the one next door?" The man asked tirelessly.
I'm a little tired of my buddy's questions. It seems that every word he says is forcing me on the road. If I answer that I send it to this room, it means that this is the girl's room, and I should have to leave immediately. If I say to send it to the next door, the girl will leave immediately and go to the next door to wait for her dinner. The time we spent together is completely gone. What a vicious question is hidden in such plain words.
Just when I didn't know how to answer, the silent girl suddenly said, "Let's send it to this room."
The buddy didn't leave immediately, but turned his head to look at me. Since the girls have said so, what can I do? I can only nod: "Just do as she says."
The man bowed deeply again, then stepped back out of the room and closed the door casually.
After the buddy left, the atmosphere at the scene became a little strange. I don't know whether to leave immediately or stay brazenly for a while. The girl didn't seem to feel my existence. She jumped to the table, picked up the mirror on the table, looked at her lovely cheeks repeatedly.
I was surprised to find that the mirror in her hand was actually gold. Oh, no, if it is a gold mirror, it must be very heavy, but the girl's delicate hand can be picked up so easily. It is estimated that it is made of copper, and then coated with a layer of gold, which is more in line with the interests of the inn. After all, if any guest takes away the mirror casually, the inn will lose a lot. How many golden beans will be needed to melt into such a mirror?
"The hairpin you bought for me is so beautiful." The girl talked to me behind her back, and I could see her playful eyes in the mirror, and then I realized that she could also see me through the mirror, which made me a little embarrassed, as if something had been broken. The girl held the mirror in one hand and repeatedly stroked the hairpin of the bronze hairpin with the other hand.
Maybe she does like this cheap thing. No, it's actually not cheap, half a golden bean. Anyway, it's worth it to laugh at her. The girl didn't drive me out of her room and talked to me, which probably means that I can still stay with her for a while.
In this way, I chatted with the girl for a few words. I wanted to find a topic that we were all interested in, but obviously, this effort failed. All the girl's thoughts were on the bronze hairpin, and her hand never left the hairpin flower. I even felt that the bronze on the hairpin flower became a little shiny because of the touch of her hand.
While I was feeling anxious about the topic, the door of the room was knocked, and then the voice of the clerk just now came: "Master apprentice, the dinner you want is coming. Can I come in?"
Although this guy asked a little bit of questions, he is still very polite. I casually replied, "Come in."
The door was slowly opened, and the door was well maintained without making any sound. Then the man pushed a small car in.
