MTL - Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little-Chapter 26 would he want to be my lunch
The market in Qiaohai Town is very large, occupying four or five streets, extending from the south of the town to the seaside.
Call it a market, it is not a messy vegetable market, but a few neat and clean alleys, golden paper lanterns and colorful light strings are hung on the trees and roofs on both sides of the street, the cobblestone roads are cleaned up, and there is a There are no leaves.
At noon, the air was a bit stuffy, and a few fans were placed under the trees beside the street, and the place where the wind blows was still cool.
The street is a bit noisy, the residents of the town are mixed with tourists, there are all kinds of people. There are still more residents in the market. After all, tourists who come to the town don't need to buy vegetables, fish, meat and fruits.
Mu Mu'er had never seen so many people, so she was a little nervous at first, and didn't dare to move forward. He walked around behind Bai Yao in small steps, and kept gently pulling the hem of his clothes, sticking very close to him, almost stepping on his heels a few times.
Bai Yao turned around and grabbed his hand, holding it loosely, letting Mu Muer walk diagonally behind him to ensure that others would not accidentally bump into him.
Bai Yao knew most of the people who set up stalls in the market. Aunt Liu at the fruit stand sold the sweetest watermelon, which could be compared to ice cream when chilled in the refrigerator. The vegetables sold by Uncle Yang were very fresh, especially spinach and broccoli. , There are still drops of water on the leaves, and you can cook and eat after a little washing.
Bai Yao's popularity in the town is very good, he can say hello to anyone and have a casual chat. People who knew him in the small town also liked him very much and were willing to talk to him more.
It didn't take much time to buy things, but Bai Yao was a bit picky when picking vegetables, he didn't want any with a little yellow leaves, and it took him a while to finish buying.
Basically, I bought all the things I needed to buy in Uncle Yang's shop. Bai Yao carried a few big bags and led Mu Mu'er to the market. The purpose of his visit this time is not only to buy vegetables, but also to see what fresh seafood can be brought back.
Li Bo, who lives on the west side of the town, has the largest fishing boat in the town. Every week when the weather is good, he goes out to catch fish and brings them back to sell in the market.
The seafood he sells here is of the best quality, which cannot be bought at any price elsewhere.
Bai Yao bought a lot of fish, shrimp, and shellfish at his stall. He felt that today's sea bream was very fresh, so he bought a little more. By the way, he discussed with Li Bo the best way to cook salmon. Uncle Li helped him put all the seafood into bags, saw Mu Muer behind him at a glance, and greeted him friendly.
"My relative's child, come to town for a few days." Bai Yao planned to introduce Mu Muer in this way in the future, so that others would not ask too many questions.
Mu Muer didn't dare to speak, but just nodded to Li Bo, as if agreeing with Bai Yao's words.
Uncle Li didn't pay much attention, just smiled and said: "The child is a little shy."
"I admit it, I haven't been here before." Bai Yao responded, rubbing Mu Mu'er's back with his hands in a comforting manner, and then put his arm on his shoulder casually.
Hearing what he said, Uncle Li immediately offered to help: "Let's leave the things to me first? Take the children around."
Bai Yao did buy a little too much, and it was not easy to get it, so he agreed and gave Li Bo a little more money.
After finishing business, it's still early, Bai Yao thought that he could just go to see his friends.
In Qiaohai Town, Bai Yao has a snow leopard spirit and a killer whale spirit. Bai Yao doesn't like other carnivorous animals, but he doesn't have any opinion on the creatures in the sea.
Jing Xiaoqing opened a handicraft shop not far from the market, and it is also the only handicraft shop in the town that sells pure handicrafts.
She is almost thirty, and in the past two years, she has also started to look for someone to marry and live with. A few months ago, she met a very nice man, and the two had a good chat. As a result, five months later, Xiaoqing found out that she was pregnant. After telling the person, he packed up his things and left that night without even saying hello.
There is nothing wrong with the child, and I can raise him by myself. That's what she said when Bai Yao asked her what to do with her child, her eyes were full of determination and longing for the future.
After she was pregnant with her baby, she still opened the store as usual. Every day she had energy, she would research more new gadgets that could be made and sold. By the way, she also made some toys for the baby after birth.
In fact, there are not many people who come to her store to buy things. Some people just come in for a stroll and leave. Others see the handicrafts she makes, and their eyes light up, but when they ask the price, they also leave. They don’t like the things she bought. too expensive.
Her shop is located in the south corner of the town, a little far from Bai Yao's restaurant, and the two of them only visit each other two or three times a month. Even though Qiaohai Town is not big, the two of them don't meet often.
Anyway, now that the market is here, Bai Yao thought he could stop by to see her.
Bai Yao bought several boxes of blueberries and strawberries and planned to bring them to Jing Xiaoqing. He wanted to ask Mu Muer if he was tired. If he was tired and wanted to go home, it would be fine. He could visit his friend next time, but when he looked around, Mu Muer was standing there alive and well, his eyes were not enough. Looking around, I don't know what to look at.
He had never been to such a bustling market, and Bai Yao had already finished his business before he had finished shopping, and Mu Muer wanted to see more.
Bai Yao smiled and shook his head, probably he wouldn't even let him go home now.
Jing Xiaoqing's shop is at the end of an alley, and it takes a short climb up a hill to get there. Because the angle is higher, the scenery there is also good, and you can see the sea in the distance.
Her handicraft store is small, but decorated warmly and brightly. There is a light purple doormat at the entrance of the store, with a silly little whale drawn on it, and WELCOMEIN written in cursive characters.
Bai Yao pushed the door open and went in. He didn't come for a while, and found that there were a lot of new handicrafts in the store. On the wooden shelf near the door, there was a row of small clay lion flower pots, each with a cute and naive appearance, each with a different color.
And Jing Xiaoqing sat cross-legged on the high stool behind the counter, and was using a small carving knife to carve a wooden canoe carving with all her heart and soul. Now that she had reached the most critical step of carving, she concentrated on her work without blinking her eyes.
Hearing the bell on the door jingle, she didn't even lift her head, and shouted: "Welcome, take a look around, everything is 20% off."
Bai Yao greeted her: "Sister Xiaoqing."
Jing Xiaoqing raised her head, saw Bai Yao, and paused for a moment before she realized it.
"Hey, how long has it been since you came?" Her voice became louder, her eyes curled up when she smiled, "Why did I suddenly remember..."
Before Jing Xiaoqing could finish her sentence, her eyes fell on Mu Mu'er who was standing behind Bai Yao. She first sniffed the air suspiciously, and then smiled.
"Yo, sea otter?"
Bai Yao hummed casually, but suddenly remembered something, blocked Mu Muer hesitantly, and stared at Jing Xiaoqing like a hen protecting its cubs, "Does your species eat sea otters?"
What do killer whales eat? Eat seals, and sea otters.
In Bai Yao's eyes, there is not much difference between a seal and a sea otter, they are as round as a ball.
Mu Mu'er didn't understand why Bai Yao blocked her, so she poked her head out from behind him, and looked curiously at the big sister in front of her.
"I don't know, I haven't eaten." Jing Xiaoqing tilted her head and looked at the boy behind Bai Yao, "I haven't eaten yet, will he want to be my lunch?"
Bai Yao: "..."
I don't think he should think much of it.
