"Mmm, delicious, delicious, too delicious … I … I've never eaten such delicious noodles …"
In the dining room, Xia Pingan ate a small portion of the big bowl of noodles he cooked, and the rest was all eaten by Caocao.
Not only did she finish the noodles, but even the soup in the noodles was all gone.
Xia Pingan watched Miss Caocao eat his noodles. For some reason, when Miss Caocao ate the noodles, although she looked like she was gobbling them up, it didn't feel vulgar or rude. Instead, there was a sense of straightforwardness and even a little elegance.
What the hell!
Xia Pingan muttered in his heart. He had to find an explanation for himself. Perhaps when he saw her, he thought of Xia Ning …
"Is there anything else?" She hastily raised her head and looked at Xia Pingan with her beautiful angelic face. She blinked her eyes cutely.
"There's no more …" Under Caocao's gaze, Xia Pingan stuffed the last noodle in his bowl into his mouth. Then, he picked up the bowl and drank the last bit of soup mercilessly.
"By the way, you didn't seem to sleep well last night. Are you not used to being here?" Xia Pingan finished drinking the soup, put down his bowl, and asked.
"Yesterday, I didn't know if you were reliable or a bad person, so I didn't dare to sleep last night. I even blocked the door of the guest room …" Caocao nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Now it seems that you're not a bad person. A bad person shouldn't be able to make such delicious noodles …"
Xia Pingan was speechless. What kind of logic was this?
Forget it, I don't care. This girl is being watched, so she probably won't stay here for long …
"Remember, wash the dishes …" Xia Pingan said to Caocao.
"What, you want me to wash the dishes?" Caocao pointed at her nose, raised her eyebrows, and stared at Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan stared back at her with an even louder voice, "Have you ever seen a chef wash dishes? How can you eat for free? You ate my noodles, so you have to wash the dishes. Washing two dishes is already a bargain for you. If you dare to dine and dash outside, if you meet a fierce person, you'll be caught to wash the dishes for a month. You'll also have to wash the floor, mop the floor, and sell you to a remote place in the mountains to give birth to someone's children …"
"Oh, I'll wash it. Why are you so fierce?" Caocao's arrogance suddenly withered.
"Wash and wipe the bowls and chopsticks and put them in the kitchen …" Before leaving the dining room, Xia Pingan also instructed.
But …
Xia Pingan had only walked a few steps out of the room when he heard a "clang" sound behind him. It was the sound of a bowl falling to the ground and breaking.
Xia Pingan turned around and saw her sticking out her tongue, looking at him awkwardly.
'Forget it for the sake of those gold coins.'
"I'm going out for a while. Remember to lock the door if you're leaving …"
Xia Pingan told Caocao and asked the Black Dragon to look after the house. He then went to the door, took today's newspaper, walked out of the alley, and went to the street outside. After waiting for a while, he called a rental carriage and asked the carriage to go directly to Tianyuan Bridge.
The atmosphere in Shangjing City today was not as tense as yesterday. There were fewer checkpoints on the street, but policemen could still be seen everywhere. Especially when passing by the gate of the Judgement Army's camp, it could be seen that the Judgement Army's camp was not as peaceful as before. From time to time, there were black carriages going in and out of the camp.
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, he saw that the entire front page, as well as the other pages, reported the various great changes that happened yesterday.
The headline on the front page of the newspaper was "The Judgement Army destroyed the Blood Demon Church in Beihai Harbor and Shangjing City." Accompanying this headline was a photo of a huge warship. The warship in the photo was distorted, and half of it was exposed from the sea. The visual effect was extremely shocking, as if it had experienced a great change in the end of the world.
Xia Pingan looked at the news carefully. The news recorded the Blood Demon Church's rebellion in Beihai Harbor yesterday. According to the way the news was written, the Blood Demon Church was naturally full of pus and ulcers. They actually wanted to assassinate the guests who participated in the warship launching ceremony at Beihai Harbor and carried out terrorist attacks among the onlookers. However, because the Judgement Army responded appropriately and the Crown Prince's strategy and command were appropriate, they quickly crushed the Blood Demon Church's conspiracy and terrorist activities and didn't let the Blood Demon Church cause more damage.
At the same time, the Judgement Army followed the clues and identified many hidden members of the Blood Demon Church in Shangjing City. They destroyed the conspiracy network that the Blood Demon Church operated in Shangjing City and effectively protected the good environment of the Shang Kingdom and Shangjing City. They asked the public not to panic and to report any clues that they had and how many rewards they could receive …
Looking at the distorted warship in the newspaper again, Xia Pingan was slightly shocked. He really couldn't imagine what kind of power could turn a warship into such a state.
In the carriage, Xia Pingan directly put away the newspaper carefully and put it in his space warehouse. He felt that the distorted warship photo in the newspaper could be kept as a reminder that the road of a summoner was still very long. There were countless strong people, and he still had a long way to go. It was best to guard against arrogance and impatience and not be complacent with his current achievements.
The wheels of the carriage turned. After an hour, Xia Pingan finally arrived at the Tianyuan Bridge. Soon, he met the middleman that he met yesterday again.
"Mr. Xia, I went around the whole day yesterday and persuaded the landlord in every way possible. He finally agreed to reduce the price by 600 gold coins. The house will be sold for 43000 gold coins. I can't go any lower. This is the final price. The landlord wants cash and a lump sum payment. It's best to complete all the transaction procedures within three days …"
After a day of negotiation, he saved 600 gold coins. Xia Pingan felt that it was quite worth it.
"Okay, thank you very much. I won't shortchange you a single copper coin. We can sign the contract and complete the procedures today …"
…
The procedures for the property transaction were a little troublesome. Xia Pingan stayed at the Tianyuan Bridge for almost a day. In the middle, he followed the middleman to the Real Estate Administration Bureau and the Justice Department in Shangjing City. After completing the final procedures, half a day passed.
Finally, he had a place in Shangjing City that truly belonged to him. Xia Pingan was quite happy.
The house that he bought at the Tianyuan Bridge was really good. The house was by the Tianyuan River. It faced the street and was very spacious. He could open it up to do business or renovate it into a reception hall. There was a square outside the house, so it was convenient to park the carriage. Peach trees were planted on both sides of the flagstone road outside the shop. In the house, there was a small bridge over flowing water and bamboo. It had an attic and a courtyard with two entrances. It was very good.
If it was on Earth, this house would be worth hundreds of millions of gold coins.
He took the key to the house, changed the lock, and found a carpenter to make a plaque. In just one day, everything was gone.
It would take at least seven or eight days for the house to be renovated and cleaned.
When Xia Pingan returned to the Changle Alley, the sky was completely dark. He found that his door was locked. The careless girl had already left. She probably ran away. Xia Pingan was too lazy to care about her.
Thinking that he had almost no time to eat all day and his stomach was rumbling with hunger, Xia Pingan returned to the kitchen and began to busy himself.
When he cooked another bowl of noodles for himself, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Looking", it was still the careless girl standing outside the door. Xia Pingan helplessly slapped his forehead. Why did this female benefactor come back again?
Xia Pingan came to the door and opened it. He helplessly asked, "Didn't you leave?"
"Humph, don't think that I don't know. I gave you so much money that you can stay in the best hotel for a few days. I only stayed here for one day. Isn't that a loss? I think you're a good person, so I've decided to stay here for the next few days!" As the careless girl spoke, her nose suddenly twitched. She sniffed and looked in the direction of the kitchen. Her eyes lit up. "What smells so good?"
Xia Pingan's face changed. He quickly turned and ran to the kitchen. Unexpectedly, the careless girl was not slow either. She also rushed to the kitchen after Xia Pingan.
A moment later, there was a commotion in the kitchen.
"This is mine …" This was Xia Pingan's voice.
"Mine …" This was the careless girl's voice. She sounded like a tiger, "This lady is hungry and I've paid. Quickly let go. If you don't let go, this lady will bite you!"
"Go and cook it yourself. Aiya, you actually bite me …"
"Humph …"
…
