Five taels of silver!

Zhao Lei was shocked. So expensive?

Although the knife is very good, is it worthy of him, a small gang leader, to use such a good knife?

They have negotiated a price, how much each person will pay for the trip and what each person will be responsible for.

Although he is the team leader, it is against the rules for him to receive extra gifts!

He quickly said, "No, no!"

"Why not? I think Uncle Zhao uses it very easily, so let's take this one!"

"Then I'll buy it myself, I'll buy it myself!"

Meng Yu smiled and took out another silver ingot from her small purse, handed it directly to the waiter, and pulled Zhao Lei's sleeve: "Uncle Zhao, I said I'm giving you a gift, and I mean it. This time, you need your uncle and your brothers to protect our safety."

"Well, that's the price we've already agreed on!"

"It doesn't matter. My mother and I will open a shop in the county town in the future. If there is anything we can ask you for help with, please help us more!"

After hearing what Meng Yu said, Zhao Lei accepted the gift.

It turned out that the mother and daughter were going to open a shop in the county town. There were many trivial matters involved in running a shop in the county town, so he would definitely help out when the time came.

However, does such a young child know how to prepare for a rainy day?

Looking at the little child, who was jumping and skipping as he walked, he felt that he was overthinking.

He wrapped the knife up like a treasure and carried it on his back, with the handle upright and within reach. Zhao Lei walked with more energy.

Meng Yu still walked around.

But now, let alone her going to a brothel, even if she went to lift someone's quilt, Zhao Lei would definitely run ahead and help her lift it.

How can I labor Xiaoyu’s little hands?

After a day of wandering around, Meng Yu felt a little tired. After returning to the inn, he washed up and fell asleep.

Zhao Susu was funny. She was very tired after a busy day, but she felt very fulfilled.

Life became better and better, and she became more and more motivated and naturally full of energy.

The original plan was to stay in the county town for three days, but she and Zhao Lei discussed it and decided to add two more days.

She was not worried about Su Jin's tailor shop. The shopkeeper was capable, and every embroiderer and assistant performed their duties. Not to mention leaving for five days, even if she didn't go back, the shop could still operate normally.

The next day, mother and daughter went out separately again.

One member of the Thunder Gang was driving the cart, and the other two were supposed to be resting, but Meng Yu asked them to leave one in the inn, and the other followed Zhao Susu.

As usual, he followed Meng Yu personally.

Meng Yu started walking around the streets again, but Zhao Lei was already very calm.

Looking up at the restaurant in front of him, Meng Yu touched his small stomach and said, "I'm hungry, uncle. Let's go and eat!"

Zhao Lei was surprised: "Just us? Aren't you going back to eat with Madam Zhao?"

"My mother is busy. It doesn't matter. We can eat by ourselves!" He walked into the restaurant with a swagger.

Zhao Lei hurriedly followed.

This restaurant has a nice layout. There are some tables and chairs arranged in an orderly manner in the lobby on the first floor. There is an aisle on the right side. On the other side of the aisle, there is a row of connected tables and chairs. There is a sign on the left side that reads "Five hundred coins per person, any food you want!"

On the right it says: "Take as much as you can eat. If you don't finish it, you will be fined double the amount!"

Meng Yu was happy: "Yeah, buffet!"

Zhao Lei hurriedly pulled her: "Xiaoyu, isn't it a bit expensive? Can we just eat something over there?"

Five hundred coins for a meal, that’s a lot!

He usually bought two big buns and spent two cents for a meal.

What if Madam Zhao thought he was tricking a child?

"It's not expensive, let's just eat what we like!" Meng Yu ran over with a smile.

There were several waiters standing there, all dressed the same and with gentle smiles, and they were very polite and courteous.

Meng Yu looked at the neatly stacked plates, pulled Zhao Lei over, handed him one, and took one for himself: "Uncle, hurry up, we still have to play after we finish eating!"

What could Zhao Lei do? Of course he accepted it.

Meng Yu looked all the way and put the food he liked on the plate, while he simply skipped the food he didn't like.

Zhao Lei held the plate in his hands, but was surprised. No matter how much he ate, it would still cost one tael of silver? Then he must eat more.

And he likes all of them: braised pork! Chicken legs! Braised pork elbows! Spare ribs! Big steamed buns...

There were so many delicious dishes that he couldn't take it all in. So his plate was full after he had only walked halfway.

The two found a place to sit down, and Meng Yu used chopsticks skillfully.

Zhao Lei was already enjoying the meal.

Meng Yu looked at everything in this restaurant and felt extremely familiar with it. The decoration style and the half-buffet and half-dinner layout were so familiar that she knew what it looked like on the second and third floors without having to go up to them.

It is bigger and better than the Jixiang Restaurant in Baiwu Town.

This restaurant should be the property of the Mu family!

It can also be considered as taking care of Uncle Mu's business.

She enjoyed her lunch peacefully.

After eating two-thirds of the meal, Zhao Lei felt a little full.

But he thought that if he didn't finish eating, the fine would be double, so wouldn't that mean a fine of one or two taels of silver?

Just thinking about it makes me feel sick.

He can still eat.

Meng Yu blinked her big eyes: "Uncle, you can't eat anymore? Don't force yourself, or you'll get sick!"

"No, no, no, I can eat it!" Zhao Lei answered while stuffing the braised pork into his mouth.

Not much left, not much left!

Five hundred coins are already expensive enough. If you fine me one tael of silver for such a small amount, wouldn't that be a big loss? One tael of silver can buy a feast in the county town.

Meng Yu supported his chin and looked at Zhao Lei's swollen mouth, trying hard to swallow, chew and swallow again.

She shook her head: "Uncle, just pay for it, but don't hurt yourself!"

“No, no, no!” There was only one big chicken leg left. Zhao Lei took the chicken leg in his hand with a fearless attitude, closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and took a big bite.

Watching him chew and swallow with difficulty, Meng Yu sighed. She should have reminded him just now.

Standing up, Zhao Lei blushed a little.

He eats so much, Xiaoyu won’t think he is a glutton and stop hiring him in the future, right?

"Uncle, we need to walk to help digest the food!"

Zhao Lei, who was so full that he was walking a little slower, nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to Xiaoyu."

When I turned the corner, I saw a large group of people gathered in front of me.

Meng Yu was about to get into the crowd, but Zhao Lei quickly stopped her: "Xiao Yu, don't join in the fun!"

The main thing is that his belly is about to burst and his reaction is slow. If he encounters a bag thief, he won’t even be able to catch up with him. Wouldn’t that ruin his reputation?

Meng Yu patted his elbow and said, "Uncle Zhao, please stand here for a while. I'll go in and take a look and come out soon."

After saying that, her small body slipped into the crowd like a loach.

Zhao Lei was helpless. How could he just stand here? He had to follow. Otherwise, how could he provide close protection?

But the crowd was too tight, and he had a big belly, but no one gave way to him, which made him sweat anxiously.

Over there, Meng Yu had already gotten to the center.

An old man was lying on the ground, his face was purple, his lips were black, and his hands and feet were twitching.
