When they arrived at the Imperial City, it was already dark!
The night sky was filled with twinkling stars. A bright moon hung in the sky, sprinkling crystal clear silver light, as gentle as a river!
Xu Que had already put away the car outside the city and walked into the city with Buttface!
Although it was already nighttime, the bustling Imperial City was still very lively. The night market was noisy, and people were coming and going!
There were many stalls on the street, selling all kinds of desserts and snacks. The smell of food enveloped the entire ancient street.
Buttface was drooling as he walked, his two big eyes almost popping out of their sockets. He urged Xu Que along the way, "Young man, buy something to eat. This deity went through a battle today, and I need food to replenish my strength!"
Coming to this place full of the smell of human life, Buttface was already excited. After all, he had been locked up in there for so many years, and he didn't even have a sip of water to drink.
Now that he was at the foot of the Imperial City with all kinds of delicious food, Buttface was already drooling all over the ground.
"Oh, they are selling steamed buns over there. You can buy a few!" Xu Que said, pointing to a stall in front of them.
Although the smell of the food in the night market was very attractive, Xu Que was not interested at all. After all, the food was too crude, and the seasonings could not be compared to the ones in his previous life on Earth.
Moreover, he was a foodie with a heavy taste. He loved barbecue, stinky tofu, and the like. From time to time, he would order the six-yuan spicy soup. Therefore, most of the snacks in the night market were more light, and none of them could arouse Xu Que's appetite!
Buttface could not resist the temptation of food anymore. He tugged at Xu Que's clothes and urged, "Steamed buns can't replenish my strength. Young man, hurry up and get me some silver and spirit stones. This deity will buy them myself!"
Xu Que laughed and said, "It's not impossible for you to get silver and spirit stones, but you have to give me something in exchange. Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm doing this for your own good. I can't let you develop the bad habit of reaching out for food. You have to learn to work and earn money! Don't you know that working is the most glorious thing! "
Xu Que felt that it was necessary to put an end to Buttface's bad habit of extending one's hand and opening one's mouth for food and clothing.
"Bullsh * t, this deity has always relied on labor to earn money. What right do you have to slander this deity?"
"When did you ever work?"
"Now, didn't you see that This Deity has already made his move? Pulling your clothes is also a kind of labor! "
"Oh, are you trying to rob us? And you even came to snatch it from me? "
"You can put it that way. Anyway, this deity is relying on his strength to get money!"
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with that. Alright, I've already left my money with the Sword Spirit. You want money, right? Fine, I'll get Jianling to come out! "
As Xu Que spoke, he took out a sword from the System Inventory!
Small fry!
If you don't like it, let's have a match!
I have Jianling and I'm afraid of you?
Roar!
When Buttface saw this, he immediately let out a strange cry, tucked his tail between his legs, turned around, and ran away, disappearing like a wisp of smoke!
There was no other way. Xu Que had Jianling. Buttface was like Sun Wukong who had been put on a golden hoop by Xuanzang. There was nothing he could do and he had a headache.
Xu Que laughed and put away the sword.
This Buttface's temper had to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, it would really fly into the sky and ask for money so arrogantly.
"Tsk tsk, Buttface, why are you running? Do you still want money? "Xu Que saw Buttface hiding in the corner of the wall from afar and asked him telepathically.
"Damn, kid, you've got guts! Wait for this deity, this deity will go get food myself! "Buttface was angry and turned to leave.
Xu Que laughed and said, "Don't go, I'm just joking with you. Alright, I'm hungry too. How about I grill a few pairs of chicken wings for you?"
"Damn, chicken wings? That's for dogs to eat. This deity won't eat such low-grade food. Goodbye! "
Buttface's figure suddenly rushed into an alley and disappeared!
In the depths of the alley, there was a faint fragrance, as if someone's kitchen was cooking something!
Looking for the fragrance, Xu Que went around to take a look. It turned out to be the kitchen of a restaurant. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"I thought this silly dog suddenly became unyielding. I didn't expect him to be so shameless. He actually ran into someone's kitchen to steal food."
Xu Que turned around and left. He decided to make some food himself.
This silly Buttface actually looked down on grilled chicken wings?
Grilled chicken wings were a delicacy!
But first, he had to solve the problem of ingredients. He hadn't hunted for a long time, so there were no chicken wings in the System Inventory. He couldn't eat it even if he wanted to.
So after strolling along the street, there wasn't a single stall selling chicken!
Finally, he found a stall selling meat pancakes. There were chicken legs and chicken meat, but there were no chicken wings!
According to the stall owner, chicken wings were so thin, and there were more bones than meat, just like chicken neck. Even if they were sold, no one would be willing to eat them. Most people would throw them away or give them to the refugees!
Xu Que was unhappy when he heard that. Why were these idiots the same as the people from the Fire Empire? How could they waste such a delicious ingredient like chicken wings!
He continued to move forward, determined to find chicken wings!
Finally, at the end of the street, Xu Que finally locked his eyes on a small stall owner!
Whether it was ancient or modern, or a different world, the more prosperous the land, the more expensive it was!
Even the stalls on this street had to pay rent.
Moreover, the rent in the central area was definitely more expensive than the deserted areas around it.
When Xu Que reached the end of the street, he was basically out of the center of the night market. It was even a remote area. There were very few pedestrians here. Only a few passersby hurriedly passed by, not even sparing a glance at the stalls on both sides of the street!
This caused the business of this place to be very bleak. On one hand, they didn't have enough rent to rent a better stall. On the other hand, the things they were selling weren't unique enough to attract people.
The direction that Xu Que was staring at was a mother and son in plain clothes who were setting up a stall. The woman looked very young, very pure and beautiful. Her son, who was five or six years old, was very sensible and was helping her at the side.
The things they were selling were just ordinary meat pancakes.
Perhaps because the cost was not enough, the woman couldn't even afford to buy chicken meat. She could only sit on the side and quietly pick out the meat from the chicken wings to make the meat filling!
"Mother, the meat pancakes you make are so delicious and cheaper than candied fruits. Why don't they come to buy them?" The little child looked at his mother with his innocent eyes and asked.
The woman smiled lovingly, patted the child's head and said, "Because the candied fruits are more delicious. Don't you feel greedy every time you see candied fruits?"
"No, I love eating mother's meat pancakes the most. I will never eat candied fruits again!" The child clenched his fist and said with a determined face, as if he had made a difficult decision!
