Chapter 896 Fried Buns
Cynthia took the two banknotes and clearly identified them as the money she got from Xuanyi yesterday.
The money Lauder used to buy wine yesterday also came from Xuanyi. That strange young man probably contributed enough to cover their living expenses for a year.
That's why the bandit business is so prosperous. After all, if it doesn't open for three years, it will last three years if it does.
And fat sheep like Xuanyi are really rare.
Opening the door that was locked last night, Cynthia was also a little hungry as the morning light shone brightly outside. The chocolate Xuanyi gave her yesterday was neatly hidden by her.
This kind of high-end candy is not something she is qualified to touch or eat, but one thing Xuanyi said is right, that is, Cynthia has the ability to make it impossible for anyone to find it.
Only you can find it yourself.
There was a heavy rain in Cuenca a few days ago. Because the place where Cynthia lives is relatively low-lying, the accumulated water has not completely evaporated to this day. Although the roads made of gravel and cinders are not completely muddy, they are not completely muddy. Good to go.
Cynthia avoided the muddy water and moved forward.
She was still wearing red shoes and red clothes. One thing Xuanyi was right about was that Cynthia herself really liked the color red.
She is already very familiar with this place, just like a mouse is familiar with the sewers, so Lauder is also very relieved that she, a ten-year-old girl, goes out to buy groceries and brings back some breakfast.
She had already thought about buying fifteen fried mutton buns for Lauder. Lauder had always liked that store, and the soy milk in that store was also very delicious.
As for me and Mia, bean dregs cake is also a good breakfast. It tastes quite good when paired with pickles and water.
As for buying vegetables, the money Lauder gave is enough to buy meat, but Cynthia thinks it is better to buy potatoes and onions. After all, they are more durable and can be eaten at home for a long time.
Although they are temporarily rich, they still have to think about the situation when they have no money.
If I buy some more rice and noodles, I should still have half the money left.
Although half of the money would not be praised if returned to Lauder, it would at least make him feel better.
If you are in a good mood, you will be beaten less.
The girl is very clear about this.
When she was thinking about this, Cynthia had already arrived in front of the shop selling fried dumplings. Because it was early, a steaming pot of fried dumplings had just come out of the oven, with an alluring aroma. Cynthia had already walked to the counter and raised the bill.
The girl has to stand on tiptoes so that others can see her smoothly.
"I want fifteen fried buns, a cup of soy milk, and three bean dregs cakes."
The aunt selling fried buns looked at her, but did not take the money from her hand, nor was she in a hurry to get her fried buns. Instead, he looked at her face and said, "Cynthia?"
Cynthia nodded, raised the banknotes in her hand, and repeated her request.
"I heard that you got rich yesterday? Cynthia?" the aunt asked.
"Where is it?" Cynthia looked at the aunt with an innocent face.
"I heard that Lauder intercepted a very wealthy foreigner yesterday and robbed a large amount of money. Everyone here knows about the wine that Lauder went to buy with gold coins." The aunt said in a somewhat exaggerated tone. said.
Cynthia shook her head vigorously, but she was still a little uneasy.
In fact, the money that Xuanyi was robbed was not a lot of money. Compared with the stack of gold leaves that Xuanyi took out at that time, it was really very small.
But among the things that Xuanyi was robbed were three gold coins.
In today's world, almost all transactions have been replaced by paper money, but gold is still a hard currency. Although countries in the past adopted paper money to increase circulation and stimulate the economy, there was no corresponding recycling of the metal currency still scattered among the people. In other words, although there is recycling, the effect is actually quite poor.
The currency of Cuenca is federal coins. One gold coin that Xuanyi was robbed can be exchanged for about 7,000 federal coins, and three coins are only over 20,000. Adding the other things that were stolen from the boy, the total is about 40,000 to 50,000. What the federation coin looks like.
Yes, in terms of cash, Xuanyi brought a considerable amount of cash, but it was definitely not an absolute huge amount of money. It was probably the three of Cynthia and of course, it was mainly Lauder's normal expenses for a year.
But Cynthia had a bad feeling.
"I'm not sure." Cynthia said with a smile: "Laud is waiting for me at home."
She raised the banknotes in her hand.
The aunt then collected the money and weighed fifteen fist-sized pan-fried buns for Cynthia in an oil paper bag. Then there was another small bag containing three browned bean dregs cakes and a small pot of soy milk. She looked at When Cynthia, who was carrying large and small bags, took the change and was about to leave, the aunt finally stopped the girl.
"What's the matter?" Cynthia asked, holding the bag of hot fried buns with her hands, showing her cute little face behind the fried buns.
"Laud, I'm going to die soon." The aunt said softly: "Let's change the owner as soon as possible."
Cynthia nodded silently.
No rebuttal or anything else said.
He just stretched out his hand and waved to the aunt.
Then turned and left.
Lauder is not a good person and has a bad temper, but among the bad guys Cynthia knows in the entire Cuenca City, Lauder is the most reliable one.
Of course, Cynthia knows relatively few good people.
Really speaking, only Xuanyi can be considered a good person.
Cynthia raised her hand and touched the red feather in her hair.
No one cares about this anyway.
She turned around and walked home with the food in her arms.
I didn’t buy rice, noodles and vegetables because they were not easy to get.
The more important reason was that she felt she needed to talk to Lauder.
Even if Lauder would not listen to him.
But it’s always good to talk.
...
...
The journey here is not far, and the journey back is also very quick.
Only when she was still a hundred meters away from home, Cynthia heard Lauder's roar.
The roar that came from home was not a violent roar when angry, but a desperate roar like a besieged beast.
She was shocked, but she did not drop the hot fried buns in her arms and run towards home. Instead, she reached out and took out a soft and crispy fried bun, put one in her mouth and finished it bit by bit—— Anyway, when Lauder eats, he never remembers how many he has eaten.
Cynthia was hungry, so she wanted to eat something.
Then she didn't turn around and run away, but just walked home step by step.
Lauder's roar was still heard at home, even mixed with Mia's cry. There was no one around, and no one would help him.
Because, Lauder was not a good person with a good reputation.
Many people will applaud him when he dies.
At this time, Cynthia happened to walk into the door holding the fried buns.
