"It's time to shine your shoes. You can wipe your muddy leather shoes and boots clean. Selling hot fruit juice. Hot fruit juice from a thermos bottle."
After the newspaper seller left, the shoeshine opened the newspaper. His eyes looked at the newspaper, but his mouth didn't stop shouting.
The newspaper seller allowed himself to give the newspaper to others, but he had to make it clear who he was giving it to and why.
Nowadays, there were many newspapers printed and couldn't be sold. The number of newspapers outside the capital office was enough.
The newspaper seller would bring it back or simply give it away.
They usually gave it to people who couldn't afford it but were willing to learn. For example, the shoeshine seller.
There were four thermos bottles beside the shoeshine seller's stall. They sold hot fruit juice.
Fruit juice was fruit powder with sugar in a small bamboo bowl.
First, it was washed with hot water. Then, a packet of powder was poured into the bowl. Next, it was washed with hot water.
Their lunch was instant noodles, which they ate by themselves. They also added a duck egg that wasn't salty but was still oily.
They were required to eat it themselves and weren't allowed to bring it home.
Li Yi could only help with this. Selling fruit juice could also help Zhuangzi make money, so it wasn't a loss.
"What are you reading? Do you think you can read?" A very dirty looking leather boot picked up the newspaper.
The shoeshine seller looked at the newspaper to see if it was dirty or not. When he saw that there were prints, he unhappily hit it with his hand. When he couldn't hit it, he frowned and kept it.
"Shine your shoes?" He looked up at the Tubo man. It was obvious.
"Shine." The Tubo man sat there, while the other three Tubo men stood behind him.
"Your boots are muddy and haven't been cleaned for a long time. I can only clean them up and polish them. Fifty dollars a pair."
The shoeshine seller looked at the other party's boots and estimated the time and polish needed. He then gave a price.
"Do you think you're worth fifty dollars?" The Tubo man suddenly stretched out his leg and kicked the shoeshine seller down.
When the child fell, he scraped the thermos bottle beside him. A thermos bottle fell, and with a bang, the kettle exploded. Hot water flowed out.
The child rolled to the side and shouted, "Tubo man is hitting me, Tubo man is hitting me …"
Shua, a group of people surrounded them, and an adult pulled Little Seven behind him.
"That's awesome. The Tubo people came to Chang 'an to look for trouble."
"Pierce them and bleed them."
"Fuck him."
"Beat him up."
"Stab him."
"Capture him."
"Cut him."
"Beat him up."
"…"
Various verbs were used by the people of Chang 'an, and personal pronouns were added at the end.
A total of four Tubo people looked around in horror.
The saber was at his waist. Just like the leader of the Tubo envoys, Bo Qiao, he didn't even dare to touch the hilt of the saber, let alone draw it.
"He asked me for fifty dollars. Don't other people only ask for five or ten dollars to shine their shoes?"
The Tubo man who kicked the child pointed at the child whose face was half exposed and explained.
"He asked you for five hundred dollars, and he didn't wipe it. You can just refuse to pay. How can you hit him?"
"According to what you said, we can't talk about the price when doing business in the future. If we do, we'll be beaten."
"Everyone, look! The Tubo man broke the thermos of the Li Family Zhuangzi. Two hundred dollars. "
"I didn't break it. He touched it." The Tubo man pointed at the child again and said.
"How could he touch it if you didn't kick him?"
"The Tubo man is unreasonable. Two hundred dollars. You want to renege on your debt?"
The people around rushed forward as they talked, as if a fight would break out at any time.
"I'll buy it. I'll buy the thermos. Two hundred dollars. Now it's broken. I'll go to Zhuangzi to get a new one. I'll buy it.
Okay? "The Tubo man was quick-witted. He remembered that he could get a new one, no matter how broken it was.
Then he could get a new thermos if he bought it.
"Who has time? Let's go to the Li Family Zhuangzi. We can't just let it go like this. How can a child of the Tang dynasty be beaten by others? "Someone said.
"Damn. The Tubo people turned the Tang dynasty upside down."
"I'll go too. Since when was the Tang dynasty so weak that others can come and beat a child?"
"Li Dongzhu said that if someone's clothes and shoes are dirty, he will compensate. But if someone beats someone, that's another matter."
"Let's go together."
The people shouted and crowded around the four Tubo people to go out of the city.
The Tubo man picked up the broken thermos and took it with him. He wanted to buy a new one.
Half an hour later, the Tubo man was brought to the Ba River Bridge.
The Qianniu Guard asked about the situation, then drew his sword and drew his bow.
"Dongzhu, a child who was selling newspapers was beaten by the Tubo man. Let's bring the Tubo man here. What do you think we should do?"
The second steward, Xun Xin, got the news first. He ran to Li Yi.
"I'll do it." When Li Yi heard that it was the Tubo man, he didn't let anyone else do anything.
He set off with a group of eight palace maids and eunuchs.
The Winged Knights noticed the situation and immediately followed. There was a large group of them.
Li Yi crossed the bridge. Yu Jiang, who had delivered the amber, also ran over and hid in the crowd.
"What's the situation?" Li Yi looked at the four Tubo men and asked calmly.
The weapons on the four men were removed, and one of them was grabbed by the arm.
"I'm Tubo's new envoy, Isinba." The one who kicked the child first introduced his identity and name.
"Isinba? Oh, Isinba. You should know who I am. What's the cause? "Li Yi was still so gentle.
"Dongzhu. He wanted to shine his shoes. Look at his pair of boots. I asked for fifty coins, but he kicked me. I couldn't avoid it." Little Seven stood up and began to wipe her tears.
"Which foot kicked you?" Li Yi's eyes looked very gentle.
His voice had become the voice of some men on the internet. It was softer than a woman's voice. Anyway, he was disgusted by it, but he used it at this moment.
The people around heard it and had goosebumps.
Of course, some men and women's eyes lit up. They seemed to like the way he spoke.
"Li Yi, I'm Tubo's new envoy. I want to compete with you."
Isinba noticed that Li Yi's gaze was on his legs. He squeezed back and said weakly.
"Yes! Envoy, which foot kicked you? "Li Yi maintained his voice.
"I broke a thermos. I'll pay for it. And this child, I'll pay for it too. I'll give him a shovel."
Isinba still wanted to hide, but the people behind him held him back.
Li Yi smiled. It was very sweet. He had a delicate appearance, and his smile made many people intoxicated.
Then, he asked, "Then which leg did you kick him?"
"Li Yi, have you thought about the consequences?" Isinba was angry.
"Did you think about it when you kicked me?" Li Yi smiled.
"I was just anxious and angry at that time." Isinba continued to explain.
"I can't do anything now. Look, the people around me are all from the Tang dynasty. They're waiting to see what I'm going to do.
At that time, I spread the word that no one was allowed to hit the shoeshine child. Now you kicked me. What do you want me to do? I'm also very helpless. "
Li Yi spread his hands and looked around.
The people around him nodded in agreement. That's right, no one dared to do it. What if you, a Tubo person, did it?
Isinba gritted his teeth and took a step forward with his right leg. "Right leg. Are you going to break my leg in front of everyone?"
"How is that possible? You're an envoy. Go back and tell Botao that the friendship between the Tang dynasty and Tubo can withstand the test. It's like the sun. It will rise after it sets.
Look at the weather. Today's sunset will be very charming. The rosy clouds will be red and the clouds will be beautiful. "
Li Yi smiled and shook his head. He didn't have any intention to make a move.
"What about the thermos?" Isinba felt that he had passed.
"It's only 200 shovels. Send my greetings to Botao." Li Yi waved his hand.
