Chapter 102 Kick the Egg

Not long after, in the slums of Capital City, a handsome man dressed in low-key luxury walked down the street with a woman in a veil. The two of them strolled and observed everything around them, whispering from time to time.

The two men, who were dressed in black and coarse cloth, kept a distance from each other, and no one knew that they were all masters.

"There's a noodle restaurant in front of you. Would you like to come over and sit down?" The woman spoke softly and lowered her voice deliberately, "I heard from biwu that the guests sitting in such a small noodle restaurant like to talk about their daily life."

Yes, these two were Mu Tinng and Su Mianyue. Because Mu Tinng had never worn coarse clothes, Dehai had prepared a set of plain clothes for him, which was also a high-end product. After Su Mianyue persuaded him to buy an ordinary set of clothes at a remote clothing store in Capital City, but it was difficult for Mu Tinng's noble temperament to be completely restrained. And in this slum, no matter how ordinary the clothes were, they could only afford to wear them.

Mu Tinng nodded, took Su Mianyue's hand and walked into the noodle shop. He sat near the door, and the guards stopped at the nearby store to avoid suspicion.

Seeing that there were guests coming, the proprietress immediately welcomed them with a smile and warmly introduced several kinds of noodle soup in the shop.

"My husband doesn't like meat, so let's have a bowl of plain noodles. And the pork noodle you just mentioned, give me a bowl." Su Mianyue lifted the visor in half, neither delaying the noodles nor revealing his appearance.

"The little girl really knows how to eat. Our pig noodle is full of ingredients. Keep your mouth full of oil and think about it later." The proprietress smiled and said a few words. She shouted at the back of the kitchen for Su Mianyue's order. Her men were busy wiping the table again. Then she put a pot of hot water on the table and went to greet the other guests.

"It's really inappropriate for a woman to show her face when she's not at home with her husband and children." Mu Tinng's face was a little unshakeable. If not for the sake of observing the people, he would have turned and left.

"In a rich family, women are often seen as ornaments. Even the first wife can only be kept in the backyard. Otherwise, a woman loses her virtue and can be divorced if she is serious. But in the homes of ordinary people, women can hold up half the sky. Not only do they have to take care of the family as men do, but they also have to take care of the family. Only such a woman can be considered a virtuous wife." Su Mianyue smiled, proud of Mu Tinng's ignorance and chauvinism, and also proud of such a woman. "The value of a woman is only different because of what kind of man she marries. Don't say that again, husband. Otherwise, it will only make everyone unhappy."

For the first time, Mu Tinng was stunned for a moment, but he did not refute her. Instead, he watched the proprietress keep busy. No matter what kind of guest she was, she always greeted her with a smile, and her hands and feet were even more diligent and nimble.

"To be able to open a noodle restaurant is to be seen as a wealthy person by ordinary people. At least they can have a look forward to their days." As Su Mianyue spoke, two old men walked in with a boy of five or six years old, but only ordered a bowl of pork noodle. The boss didn't mind that they occupied the place, and he still treated them warmly.

After a while, the two bowls of noodles that Su Mianyue ordered were served. Mu Tinng looked at the bowl that had lost a piece of stubble and could not eat it at all. Besides, without the silver needle to test the poison, he would not eat anything at will.

Su Mianyue smiled knowingly. When he handed Mu Tinng the chopsticks, he used a silver needle to cut the noodle bowl to prove that the noodle soup was not poisonous. Then he picked up the bowl next to him and drank a mouthful of pig soup.

Unlike the plain noodle soup, which only contained two vegetable leaves and two drops of oil, there was really nothing but salt to taste. The noodle soup was rich in content, with two pieces of pig large intestine and two pieces of pig small intestine, as well as some pork lung slices and liver. The bottom of the soup was also made with big bone soup, which smelled delicious.

There were not many customers who could order pork noodle soup at the noodle restaurant. Even the boy who ordered a bowl of pork noodle soup was drooling over the smell, but he was sensible enough not to shout.

Mu Tinng did not eat the noodles, but observed the expressions of the guests in the restaurant. At this moment, he really believed what Su Mianyue said. The animal viscera were delicious food for ordinary people.

Fortunately, everyone just glanced at it, and then continued to eat, from time to time to say a few words of gossip.

"Big brother, when I grow up, I will work hard with you. When I earn money, I will treat you to a bowl of pork noodle." At the table directly opposite Mu Tinng, the teenager in his teens was pale and skinny, but he spoke with a bold face patting his chest.

"Okay, big brother, wait for that day. When the time comes, one bowl for each of us... No, three bowls for each of us, one bowl for each of us to bring back to give our parents incense. They will never be willing to eat a bowl of pork noodle in their whole lives, and they will go there..." It was just the sobbing of a 13- or 14-year-old boy.

"Grandpa and grandma, can we not have pork noodle anymore? The leftover dog is obedient and no longer craves meat. The leftover dog doesn't want to finish this bowl of noodles, so grandpa and grandma will be hungry for days. Woo..." The boy who was waiting for the pig noodle started to cry. The old couple who brought him along also wiped their tears and coaxed the boy in a low voice.

"Oh, my god, it's really unfair to his grandmother. People like us who are willing to endure hardships, even eating a bowl of noodle soup is like a festival. Those old men are tired of eating pig water." A simple and honest man shouted, then lowered his head and ate the noodle soup, but in two or three mouthfuls he finished the noodle soup and drank it from the bowl.

"Have you heard? The two dogs in the yard seem to have met a big shot. I saw him come back two days ago and change into a new suit. It was made of cotton."

"Not only that, but the two dogs also brought back a roast chicken and a kilogram of pork head. The whole yard was stained with meat and fishy meat. My house was next door, but I took a few boys to eat and squatted down at the wall to smell."

"Come on, er gouzi is a sneaky dog. Although he has never done anything harmful, such a person may offend a noble person one day. He doesn't know how he died. I don't know what I envy him for. I'd better hurry up and eat your noodle soup. I don't know when I'll be willing to spend this money next time."

"They say that our emperor loves the people like a son and can't bear to raise taxes on them. Maybe if we can endure it for a few more years, we can have new cotton-padded jackets to wear in winter and eat meat every once in a while."

"How dare you dream of not being frozen to death in the winter and eating pig water every once in a while? If you have enough food at home, it will be an eye-opener for the old days and the emperor will be a wise king. Come on, it's better not to say that. God will take care of us if we can live. It's better to ask god to be more reliable."

...

The diners talked in twos and threes, sometimes even talking to people they didn't know at the next table, all of which were plain words, and some of the eastern parents were short of the li family.

After Su Mianyue had half a bowl of soup, they couldn't eat any more. The two of them checked out and left. When the proprietress saw that it was a small piece of broken silver, she rushed up with it and said that it was too much money and she couldn't find it.

"Madame's noodles are well made. These are for reward." Su Mianyue said with a smile and followed Mu Tinng.

Behind him came the words of gratitude from the proprietress, and shouted at the back chef to add a spoonful of pig litter to each guest to make the big guy happy.

"In fact, the people's requirements are not high, but just to eat and wear warm." After catching up with Mu Tinng, Su Mianyue looked up at him and saw Mu Tinng's eyes not far away.

A young couple kneeled at the entrance of a pharmacy. The young woman was still holding a crying child in her arms. On the ground was a white-haired old man, who should have been seriously ill but had no money to cure him. The pharmacy boy was trying his best to persuade him that it was only the pharmacy that gave away the medicinal materials for so long for free. He could no longer afford it, and the old man was so thin that he was only skin and bones. Obviously, it was not a stone that could save him.

He gave the guard a look, and immediately someone went up and gave the couple ten taels of silver, causing the couple to kowtow and thank him.

After a long walk, there were more and more poor people, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench of acid. The arrival of Mu Tinng and Su Mianyue attracted a lot of attention, but it was more defensive, and no one came forward to rob or beg.

"Master zhao, please give us a few more days. We will definitely return the money. Don't take away our daughter. She is only eight years old. How can she be your concubine?" A woman's heart-rending cry attracted the attention of Mu Tinng and Su Mianyue.

"Get out of here. Your poor family can't even afford to eat. What do you want to pay me back with that money or two? You think it's a copper coin! It would be her honor if I took a fancy to your girl. If she served me well, I would still be able to reward you and your family would be able to live. It would be too late to thank me." Lord zhao was trembling with fat, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the girl. He knew that he was a pervert who liked to play with children.

What Su Mianyue hated most was this kind of person. He immediately took out his hand and ran towards the rich zhao with the hem of his skirt. Mu Tinng could not react. He saw that Su Mianyue had already run to the rich zhao and kicked him at the root of his life. The rich zhao who was in pain immediately lay on the ground and wailed.

"Mother, you still dare to do such an ungrateful thing in front of sister. Do you think this world is surnamed zhao? One or two pieces of silver is trying to harm other people's daughter. See if I don't kick you to death today!" Su Mianyue's voice was clear and clear, and he had the chivalrous demeanor of a chivalrous woman when he yelled, but when he kicked a fat man down, he was so tired that he was panting.

Su Mianyue's actions were so rude that they made everyone around him speechless. It was impossible to imagine how a delicate woman could make a move... No, it was just a kick to the man's life?

Although it was true that lord zhao should fight, this kind of thing should be done by a man. Didn't you see that Mu Tinng, who was walking towards this side, was so dark that his face was almost dripping water?

Su Mianyue did not know that his fierce action made Mu Tinng unhappy. He opened the medicine bag and took out a ingot of five taels of silver to hit lord zhao hard. He probably had to break out a blood clot.

"One or two of these five taels of silver is to pay you back for that girl's family. If you dare to rob a civilian girl again, I will see you beat her up once and beat her to death until she is disabled. The remaining four taels of silver are for your medical expenses. This is enough to buy several girls. If you don't like it, beat her until you think it's right." Su Mianyue said angrily and turned to look at the frightened girl. Her eyes were out of focus and she didn't know if she could live a normal life in the future.

"Auntie, please take her to the clinic. Don't be too frightened and make any mistakes."

As she spoke, Su Mianyue stuffed a purse into the woman's hand and blinked quietly, indicating that she would not refuse, lest everyone knew that it would not be possible to keep the money.

After doing all these things, Su Mianyue felt comfortable. When he looked up, he saw Mu Tinng looking at him with a black face, "That rich zhao is so hateful. He even wants to harm such a small girl. This kind of person can't stay."

"This kind of thing, do you need to do it yourself? Is that the place you should touch?" Mu Tinng gritted his teeth and asked.

Su Mianyue was stunned, and a suspicious blush appeared on his face, "I kicked with my foot, but I didn't touch it..." In her previous life, she had learned how to defend herself against wolves. Kicking and exploding her opponent's eggs was undoubtedly the most effective and simple method.

Well, this explanation was too far-fetched. Su Mianyue had forgotten her current identity in a moment of anger. If it were to be spread out, she, the queen, would not do it. Even if it was not spread out, Mu Tinng would have a hard time.

"Go buy a new pair of shoes." Mu Tinng did not make things difficult for Su Mianyue anymore. He took her hand and left the slums. Today, he knew that there were a group of poor people living in Capital City. Other places were self-evident.

"Oh." Su Mianyue obediently followed Mu Tinng's footsteps, but she did not know that because of her kick, the originally undead rich zhao had reached the end of his life, and the entire zhao family was also destroyed, so that the children's family would live peacefully from now on, without worrying about getting into trouble.
