Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

In the kitchen, Lao Liu's wife deftly stuffed the firewood into the stove, lit it, and prepared to heat up a pot of fragrant steamed buns.

In the yard, Chu Tian and Lao Liu were chatting casually.

Old Liu was praising Chu Tian for his ability in his words, saying that he was so young, but he was able to get so many good things, and he would definitely have a bright future.

Chu Tian just listened with a smile, and occasionally spoke modestly, saying that he was just lucky.

Time passed quietly as we talked and laughed, and heard the crackling sound of burning firewood.

An hour later, the table was filled with fragrant dishes.

The aroma of braised fish wafts through the air, making your mouth water;

The pheasant meat is stewed until it is soft and tasty, and just looking at it will increase your appetite;

There are also the steaming steamed buns, exuding the fragrance of grains.

Old Liu couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth, closed his eyes, and savored this rare delicacy.

"Mmm... delicious! So fragrant!"

Old Liu's wife also took a piece of fish with chopsticks and chewed it slowly, "This fish is really fresh."

"Uncle, aunt, I have to go back to the city tomorrow."

Chu Tian put down the steamed bread in his hand, wiped his mouth and said.

"What's the matter? Is there something urgent?" Old Liu paused in picking up the food and asked.

"Well, something happened at the factory and I have to go back to deal with it." Chu Tian made up an excuse.

Old Liu didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "Okay, then go back quickly and don't delay anything."

Early the next morning, just as it was light, Chu Tian stood at the entrance of the village with his bag on his back, waiting for the bus.

These days, transportation in rural areas is inconvenient.

The bus to the city only runs once a day. If you miss it, you have to wait until tomorrow.

Waited for about half an hour.

A shabby old car drove over with a rumbling sound, raising a cloud of dust.

Chu Tian waved his hand quickly, and the car stopped in front of him with a squeak.

There were already quite a few people on the bus, it was packed.

The air was filled with a mixed smell of sweat and various agricultural products, which made people feel a little suffocated.

Chu Tian frowned, but still squeezed into the car and found a seat in the corner.

After a bumpy journey, Chu Tian finally returned to the city.

As soon as I got off the car, my stomach started growling.

Coincidentally, after walking a few steps, he saw a noodle shop on the corner of the street with the words "Xincheng Shaved Noodle Shop" written in large letters on the sign.

The dragons and phoenixes are flying and dancing, which is quite imposing.

There was a row of customers waiting at the door, staring at the store and swallowing their saliva from time to time.

It seems that this store is doing good business.

Chu Tian was also a little hungry, so he walked to the back of the line and queued up.

However, he was somewhat doubtful: was this noodle really that delicious?

He curiously asked a man in front of him who was also queuing with him: "Hey, big brother, are the noodles in this noodle shop really that delicious?"

The man was in his forties and was wearing a washed-out blue work suit.

Hearing Chu Tian's question, he turned around and answered enthusiastically: "Of course not! Let me tell you, this 'Xincheng Shaved Noodle Restaurant' is the most famous noodle restaurant in our area. It has been open for five years! Let me tell you, the craftsmanship of this master is amazing!"

As he spoke, he raised his thumb and gestured.

Chu Tian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this description.

Supplies are scarce these days, and to be able to run a business like this, you must be quite capable!

Look, Chu Tian was already a little greedy after hearing what he said. His stomach was growling even louder. He had to taste it carefully later.

While waiting in line, Chu Tian opened the system mall.

Enter a word in the search box - ticket.

The system panel refreshed instantly, and all kinds of bills almost blinded his eyes.

Cloth coupons, meat coupons, sugar coupons, industrial coupons...

He was dazzled by the sight, there was everything!

Chu Tian chose the food coupons without hesitation, and with a wave of his hand, he directly exchanged five of them.

With the heavy food coupons in his pocket, Chu Tian felt much more at ease.

These days, as long as you have food in your hands, you won’t have to worry!

After finally getting a seat in line, Chu Tian couldn't wait to walk into the store.

As soon as I entered the door, a wave of heat hit me in the face.

The aroma of noodles and various seasonings mixed together will whet your appetite.

The store is not big, with only a few tables, and they are all full.

Through the door curtain, Chu Tian saw a middle-aged man in his forties in the kitchen. He was wearing a white vest stained with oil and was sweating profusely as he cooked noodles.

"Welcome, a bowl of knife-cut noodles with more coriander!" Chu Tian shouted to the waiter at the counter and handed over the food coupons.

"Okay! Wait a minute!"

Chu Tian found an empty seat and sat down, looking around while waiting for his noodles.

This noodle shop is not big, only about ten square meters.

There were a few tables and some faded posters on the walls.

The light bulbs on the roof were a little dim, but it was still clean.

After half an hour.

"Hey, young man, your noodles are here!"

The waiter came over with a bowl of steaming noodles, the aroma was so tempting that it made one's mouth water.

Chu Tian quickly took the noodles, lowered his head and started eating.

The noodles are chewy and have a strong wheat aroma.

Served with the delicious soup and the fragrance of coriander, it is simply a delicacy!

He finished a bowl of noodles in a few bites, licked his lips with satisfaction, and shouted to the waiter: "Another bowl of soup!"

The waiter responded with a smile and turned to go to the kitchen to get the soup.

Chu Tian took the bowl of soup and gulped it down.

Only then did he leave the noodle shop contentedly and walked slowly towards Panjiayuan.

……

Panjiayuan is still bustling with the sounds of hawking and bargaining.

Chu Tian walked all the way to the antique shop where Hu Bayi and Fatty brought him last time.

"Old Hu, what are you looking at, honey? Why are you so engrossed?"

Chu Tian put the bag on the table, and there was a dull sound.

The fat man was lying on the table, sleeping soundly, and the sound woke him up immediately.

I opened my eyes dazedly and saw Chu Tian standing in front of me.

All of a sudden, all sleepiness disappeared and he jumped up.

"Brother Tian, ​​you're finally back! I thought you were kidnapped by those foreign devils!"

As the fat man spoke, he gave Chu Tian a bear hug, almost strangling him to death.

Chu Tian smiled and pushed him away, "Alright, alright, Fatty, calm down!"

Hu Bayi glared at the fat man and said, "Pooh! Pooh! Can't you say something auspicious?"

The fat man put his hands together and prayed, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Hu Bayi glanced at the bag on the counter and asked with a smile, "Could this be the money from the sale?"

"Ok!"

After getting Chu Tian's affirmative answer.

next second.

The fat man bounced to the door like a spring and looked left and right.

After making sure that no one was there, he locked the door from the inside.

Then he ran to Chu Tian, ​​staring at the cloth bag.

"My dear..."

The fat man snatched the cloth bag and started counting the bills one by one.

"How much does this cost?"
