I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Huo Guang walked over with Huo Shou, and said in a low voice, "Dian...why don't you bring a few more people with you when you go out?"

Liu Tan also whispered, "What's the difference between bringing so many people with me and telling others my identity?"

This is not Chang'an, there are many nobles, which can give him a good cover.

There are not many people in the northern border country who can travel with guards at his age, and with Lu Xuan beside him, it is simply too easy to guess.

Huo Guang turned his head to look at Lu Xuan, his eyes were full of condemnation: He is messing around, and you are messing around with him?

Lu Xuan immediately said: "I will protect Ah Tan."

Huo Guang pinched his brows helplessly and said, "In that case, why don't you get together."

Huo Shou raised his head—looking at the three adults present with bright eyes.

Liu Tan said with a smile: "It's just right, there are so many people!"

Huo Shou cheered, took Huo Guang's hand and said, "Uncle, Uncle, I just saw that there are delicious food over there!"

In such a festive atmosphere, even Huo Guang couldn't be serious, he shook his head helplessly: "Those who don't know think I'm short of your food on weekdays."

Liu Tan immediately said: "That's not the case. Although the food at home is good, but if you really want to eat authentic flavors, you still have to go to these small stalls."

Huo Shou suddenly felt that he had found a confidant in life, and he came to Liu Tan's side.

But he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, he just pulled Liu Tan's sleeve and asked, "Does Your Highness know what is delicious?"

Liu Tan: ...

You can ask me this.

He had an idea and said: "I don't know if the stall I ate last time is still there, let's go and have a look first."

Huo Guang opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Liu Tan seemed to know it. He turned to look at him and said, "Even my father said that the stall tasted good, and he packed a portion before he left."

Well, although the packaged one was given by the store, it was also packaged!

Huo Guang's unspoken words were directly blocked back, and he could only sigh. At the same time, he suddenly heard someone sighing beside him, and when he turned his head, he saw Lu Xuan's helpless face.

The two of them looked at each other, Lu Xuan smiled wryly and said, "Miao Rui and Bi Gao were worried when they came out, and Ah Tan also said that he is not eight years old, I think he is now..."

Huo Guang and Lu Xuan said in unison: "It's not much better than eight years old!"

In an instant, the two felt that it was too late to know each other!

After all, Huo Guang was more mature, he calmed down and said: "Let's go, if you don't go there, you won't find anyone."

Lu Xuan's eyes - stared at Liu Tan's figure, how could he not be found?

Liu Tan took Huo Shou all the way straight to the Ciba barbecue stall before, and when he got there, he found that it was not that one, but a sweet porridge shop!

Liu Tan was a little surprised and asked, "Where is the previous one here?"

The proprietress who sells sweet porridge is a round-faced proprietress, she smiles very festively, and her mouth is sweet and crisp: "Xiao Langjun is looking for glutinous rice cakes for barbecue? Their family met a nobleman before, and they have already rented a shop."

Liu Tan asked, "Then where is their store?"

The proprietress said: "Go forward—go straight, the sixth house on the left is!"

Liu Tan thanked her, and felt that it was embarrassing to ask for directions without buying anything, so he asked, "How do you sell this sweet porridge in your house?"

The proprietress immediately said: "Three pieces of five baht—a bowl, my porridge is sweet and thick, I'm sure you will still want to drink it!"

Liu Tan said, "Then let's have two bowls. Is there anything I can take away?"

The proprietress immediately took out two slightly ugly clay pots and said, "There are some."

Liu Tan asked: "How much is the total?"

The proprietress: "Six five baht coins."

Liu Tan looked at the pot with some surprise: "Is this free?"

The proprietress smiled and said, "Oh, it's all made by digging at my own house, and it's not worth a lot of money."

Liu Tan couldn't help asking: "Your porridge sells so cheaply, can you make a living?"

The proprietress was actually very busy, but she saw that Liu Tan was good-looking and Huo Shou was also fair and clean, so she liked it very much, so she said a few more words: "The food is grown by myself, and the sugar is also made by myself. How much money!"

Liu Tan followed up and asked: "But firing pots requires fire, isn't firewood expensive?"

The proprietress said proudly: "Mr. Xiaolang is from another place, right? Most people don't use firewood in our northern capital. His Royal Highness is said to be the reincarnation of the Golden Crow and brought us briquettes. The royal capital buys coal." It's cheap!"

All right, from the god of the sky to the golden crow, the species has changed this time, and he can collect a new title once he comes out. I don't know how many he can collect.

Liu Tan asked, "Is it so cheap for everyone to buy?"

The proprietress said: "Then I don't know, but it is said that only the capital is like this now, maybe it will be like this in other places in the future."

Liu Tan smiled and gave the proprietress two extra five baht coins and said, "Thank you very much."

The proprietress said repeatedly: "Hey, Mr. Xiao Lang gave too much!"

Liu Tan waved at her and said, "It's okay, just take it as thank you for chatting with us."

The proprietress accepted it with a red face.

Liu Tan pulled Huo Shou and turned around to see Huo Guang and Lu Xuan who were following them. He handed them two cans of sweet porridge and said, "Here, I bought it for you!"

Huo Guang: ...

Don't think we didn't hear it, you obviously bought it after asking for information!

But before he could speak, Lu Xuan took it over with a smile and said, "A Tan still remembers that I love sweets."

Huo Guang choked for a moment, turned his head to look at Lu Xuan, and suddenly felt that their alliance was established quickly, and it seemed to disintegrate very quickly.

Liu Tan said: "I've inquired about that stall and already rented it out. I'm tired after walking for a long time. Let's go and have a look."

Of course Lu Xuan would not object, and Huo Shou was also very curious. As for Huo Guang...he felt that it would be better for him to be a quiet companion today.

Liu Tan and the others found that shop on the way, and found that the shop seemed to be more prosperous after opening the shop. When they first arrived at the door, Liu Tan felt dizzy after a long absence.

He stood at the door stunned for a moment, glanced and felt that there was no place for him, and just as he was about to say something, he heard someone shout: "Hey, it's you!"

Liu Tan looked up and found that it was the little lady from before, and now the little lady was dressed much better than before, obviously the living conditions were better.

Liu Tan smiled and said, "Congratulations."

The little lady said generously: "I have to thank you, otherwise my family won't be able to open this shop for a while. Would you like to come to eat something? My family has a new dish."

Liu Tan asked, "Is there a place?"

The little lady beckoned and said, "Come with me."

They followed the little lady all the way to the innermost place, and sat down in a relatively quiet corner.

The little lady said: "Wait a minute, I'll go and tell Father."

Liu Tan was very forthright: "Serve all the dishes once."

The little lady nodded, turned her head and left.

After she left, Liu Tan looked up and saw Huo Guang frowning slightly, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Huo Guang said dully, "The smell inside is too tormenting."

Liu Tan didn't think so, and when he was feeling strange, he heard Huo Shou say, "It tastes like mutton. Uncle doesn't like mutton very much."

Liu Tan was stunned. He really didn’t know this. Beef and mutton were the red meat that often appeared in noble banquets. After all, pork was not tasty, and eating too much chicken and duck was too monotonous. In the past, he really didn’t know that Huo Guang didn’t like it, because Huo Guang never showed it.

But think about it—it’s true to think about it, although there are many people at the banquet, at least the kitchen is not here, and this shop... the owner is grilling smoke on the side near the window.

He simply said: "Then pack it."

Huo Guang raised his hand: "No, wait until you finish eating."

Lu Xuan said from the side: "I just heard someone said that the rice wine here is delicious, Huo Xiang, why don't you go find it with me? Meat doesn't go well with wine, and the taste will be bad .”

Huo Guang glanced at him and said, "No need, I'll go alone."

But Lu Xuan got up directly and said: "It's okay, I'll buy some other things along the way, many of them are sold outside, and the weather is still a bit cold, eating outside is not good for your health."

Huo Guang didn't refuse anymore, and went out directly with Lu Xuan.

After they left, Huo Shou sat down obediently for a while, and soon couldn't sit still and said: "Your Highness, I just saw that there are small windmills outside, I'll go buy one and send it back to Uncle."

Windmill... Huo Guang...

Liu Tan really couldn't connect these two nouns, so he asked slowly, "Are you sure your uncle will like it?"

Huo Shou said: "Probably, there is one in my uncle's study, but it looks a bit old."

The old windmill... Liu Tan always felt that Huo Guang kept this thing because he definitely didn't just like it, maybe it had some meaning.

He patted Huo Shou on the head and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Huo Shou immediately turned vigilant: "Will someone take our place?"

Liu Tan was amused by his expression: "Then let the little lady keep it for us first."

Huo Shou waved his hands very generously: "I'll just go by myself, it's fine!"

Liu Tan took a look at Huo Shou's physique. The child was raised by Huo Guang to be quite strong, and he was not short in stature. From a distance, he looked not much different from an adult. Nodding to trouble him, he nodded and said, "Go, go and come back quickly."

While talking, he gave Huo Shou some money and said, "Buy whatever you want."

Huo Shou pushed: "I have money!"

Liu Tan said calmly, "There's no reason to let children spend money. Take it as my new year's money for you."

Thinking about it this way, it seems a bit inappropriate that he had prepared lucky money for Li Ling, but it didn't have Huo Shou's share.

Huo Shou wanted to say something else, but Liu Tan said, "If you don't hurry up, your uncle will be back soon."

Huo Shou grabbed the money and ran away.

Liu Tan looked at his back and wondered how similar Huo Shou was to Huo Qubing, so he turned around and asked Huo Guang.

While he was thinking about this, the little lady brought up the food and asked in a strange way: "Why is there only one young gentleman left? Where are the others?"

Liu Tan said with a smile: "They went to buy something, hey, is this cake?"

The little lady said: "Yes, the pancakes made of yellow rice flour are delicious when rolled with barbecued meat. Please try it, Mr. Xiaolang."

Liu Tan looked at the naan that reminded the later generations, and felt that this way of eating seemed to be the same as eating naan with barbecue.

He made one and tasted it according to the little lady's instructions, and it tasted really good.

The little lady next to him took a sneaky look at him, and the more she watched, the more she felt that this little gentleman had a difficult background, after all, her family's new way of eating could easily make her hands dripping with oil and lose her image.

But this little gentleman is still gentle and elegant.

When the little lady was watching, there was a table next to her who might be an acquaintance, and she said with a smile, "Hey, are the flowers in our Tonghua Square moving your heart?"

After hearing this, the little lady changed from gentle to pungent in seconds, turned her head and glared and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can't even eat to stop your mouth?"

That-table booed and said: "Has Mr. Xiao Lang ever married?"

"San Niang's quick hands and feet are not bad for marrying back."

Liu Tan said calmly: "You guys are joking, I already have a family."

Well, although they are not married, they already have a family.

After hearing this, the little lady's eyes flickered - a trace of disappointment, but she still smiled and said: "Xiao Langjun's lady - must be a great beauty."

The corners of Liu Tan's mouth twitched, his eyes were smiling: "Yes."

The little lady asked curiously: "But why didn't you see Xiao Langjun bring her out?"

Liu Tanxin said that you have already met.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized something was wrong——Why haven't Lu Xuan and the others come back yet?Forget about Lu Xuan, why didn't Huo Shou come back?

Liu Tan put down the things in his hand, raised his head and said to the little lady: "Please save us a place, the kid at home has slipped out to play, I'll go get him back."

The little lady nodded immediately, and Liu Tan immediately got up and walked out.

When he went out, he saw that there was indeed a peddler selling windmills, but he didn't see Huo Shou. Looking around, he found that there was no sign of Huo Shou either, and his expression changed.

Although Huo Shou's personality is a bit more lively, he is still sensible, and it is impossible to run out to play by himself without saying a word.

He calmed down and walked up to the peddler and asked, "May I ask if there was a young man in a blue robe who bought a windmill just now?"

The peddler obviously still remembered, raised his head and said, "You mean that young gentleman? It seems that he was chasing someone just now."

Who are you chasing?Liu Tan was a little puzzled: "Then where did he go?"

"Front."

After Liu Tan said his thanks, he immediately looked forward. He walked forward and suddenly saw a blue figure in front of him flashing into the alley next to him.

Although he was not sure if it was Huo Shou, Liu Tan hurriedly followed.

However, when he ran in, he found that the alley was empty, and when he walked further inside, there were no lights, and it was darker.

Liu Tan hesitated - then heard a short voice: "Presumptuous!"

Although there were only two words, he still recognized that it was Huo Shou's voice.

Liu Tan suddenly felt tense, and hurried over.

The sound of his footsteps probably alarmed the people inside, and two people came out with sticks in their hands and shouted: "Who!"

Liu Tan managed to see the front clearly through the faint light—there were four people in total, and two of them were suppressing something.

Before Liu Tan opened his mouth, Huo Shou hurriedly said: "Mr. Lang, these people are desperadoes, and they have murder weapons in their hands! Run and find my uncle!"

"Run? Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

Liu Tan looked at the two murderers in front of him who were not as tall as him, and rolled up his sleeves with a sneer.

murder weapon?Two sticks?

Coincidentally, he still has a dagger on his body!
