When Zhou Fu walked out of the Red Sea gang's encampment, there was already a faint light on the horizon.
"It's daybreak …" Zhou Fu didn't know why, but he sighed.
A gust of wind blew, and the chill of the early morning was mixed with the smell of blood.
At this moment, Jin Peng and Duan Cheng stayed in the Red Sea gang's encampment with all the guards to help Iron Tiger clean up some people in order to conceal the truth of what happened last night.
The betrayal of the Red Sea gang's Blood Transformation Realm expert, Elder Liu, and the fact that Zhou Fu was able to defeat a Blood Transformation Realm expert could not be spread.
Zhou Fu stopped and turned around, looking at the pale-faced Huang Feng and Chen Guhong.
The two of them had just seen the scene of Iron Tiger commanding the guards to massacre the Red Sea gang's encampment.
The blood-curdling screams and the flowing blood made Huang Feng vomit on the spot.
Chen Guhong had seen bloody scenes before. When Zhou Fu took down the Chen family, it was their bloodline that carried out the bloody methods.
However, when he saw Huang Feng vomit, he also felt his stomach churn and his face turned pale.
"You've been busy all night, you should go back and rest," Zhou Fu said.
"Sir, don't you need us to send you back?" Chen Guhong asked.
"No need." Zhou Fu suddenly noticed a white steam rising not far away. Under the steam, there were a few blurry figures busily working. It seemed to be a breakfast stall.
"I'll go back myself. Oh right, who has money on them?"
Chen Guhong and Huang Feng looked at each other, then Huang Feng took out a small purse and handed it to Zhou Fu.
"Sir, we came out in a hurry this time, so I didn't bring much …"
"It's fine, it's enough." Zhou Fu weighed the purse and ordered, "You can go back, don't worry about me."
After saying that, he walked towards the breakfast stall.
The person who set up the stall was a woman. Beside her was a pair of siblings who were running around to help.
The girl was 14 or 15 years old, and the boy was 7 or 8 years old.
Seeing Zhou Fu approaching, the proprietress smiled and said, "Young man, would you like a bowl of wonton noodles? It's all good meat stuffing. The meat bones have been simmered in a good soup for several hours. It's very fragrant."
Steam rose from the pot, and the fragrance of meat and noodles wafted in the air, making people feel refreshed.
"Give me a big bowl."
"Alright ~ 3 cents per bowl."
The lady boss was very happy that business had come to her door.
Zhou Fu took out his money pouch and shook it in his hand. A few pieces of silver and seven or eight copper coins rolled out.
Just as he was about to pay, Zhou Fu suddenly paused.
This money pouch was taken from Huang Feng. As the steward of Huang Jia, how could there be so many copper coins in his money pouch?! "
Seeing Zhou Fu in a daze, the proprietress reminded him softly, "Young man, three, just three."
"Oh, oh, I'm distracted, I'm distracted." Zhou Fu said and gave all the copper coins to the proprietress.
"Young man, what are you doing?"
The proprietress looked at the money in her hand and didn't understand Zhou Fu's meaning.
"The meat stuffing is enough."
"Meat stuffing at this price, is it still wonton …"
This time, the proprietress really didn't know what to do. After selling wontons for so long, this was the first time she met someone like Zhou Fu.
"It doesn't matter if it's wonton or not, the main thing is that I want to eat it." Zhou Fu came to an empty table and sat down.
"Alright, young man, wait a moment."
For the sake of the money in her hand, the proprietress decided to make a bowl of meatball noodles for Zhou Fu!
Thus, the Lady Boss used a thin layer of dough to wrap five meatballs and put them into the pot under the shocked expressions of the pair of siblings.
Zhou Fu smiled and withdrew his gaze from the stove. He looked at the money pouch in his hand in a daze.
The pouch was red with gold edges, embroidered with a few cute little beasts.
He poured all the contents on the table, there were only a dozen pieces of silver.
Copper coins were the main currency of ordinary people on weekdays.
If one wanted to pay with silver taels, they didn't use whole silver ingots, but silver fragments.
Broken silver was an entire ingot of silver that had been cut into several pieces. These pieces were the broken silver.
As for the rich, they used banknotes or gold leaves.
Zhou Fu really didn't expect that Huang Feng's wallet didn't even have one silver ingot!
"He really has no money …"
"Young man, your wonton noodles ~"
A clear voice sounded. The little girl walked over with a large wooden bowl in her hand and placed it in front of Zhou Fu, deliberately avoiding the silver on it.
"Oh, oh, thank you."
Zhou Fu subconsciously said, causing the little girl to laugh. "Young man, you're welcome. It's what I should do."
Zhou Fu put the silver back into the money pouch, took the chopsticks, picked up the noodles in the bowl a few times, and ate with the soup.
The proprietress's cooking was very average. The noodles were normal, and the taste of the meat soup was a bit bland. It was probably to save some salt.
After eating a large bowl of noodles and five meatballs, his stomach felt warm and comfortable.
"Young man, what are you thinking about?"
The little girl at the stall didn't see much business, and Zhou Fu's thanks from before also aroused the little girl's curiosity.
She saw that Zhou Fu didn't leave immediately after eating, but sat in a daze. Out of curiosity, she walked to the side and sat down.
"Nothing," Zhou Fu smiled, "Your wonton noodles are very good. After eating, my whole body feels comfortable. I'm just in a daze."
"You're lying."
The little girl wrinkled her nose. The clear and bright eyes that belonged to children blinked, looking very lively and cute.
"How do you know I'm lying?"
The little girl stared at Zhou Fu and said, "Just now, your expression was like my father's when he heard that he was going to pay tuition for us siblings. However, my father likes to drink and doesn't like to eat noodles."
"But, you look only a few years older than me. Why do you have the same expression as my father?"
Because we are all fooled by money!
Zhou Fu said in his heart.
Then, he smiled and said, "You're wrong.
Oh right, what does your father do? "
"Hmph, forget it if you don't want to tell me." The little girl snorted proudly and said, "My father works at the docks."
"That's not right. There are so many jobs at the east docks every day. Your father should be paid quite a lot. Why is he worried about your tuition fees?"
"Yes ~ My father injured his leg some time ago. It was cured after he got medicine from the Jin Family's pharmacy."
After saying that, the little girl complained, "The Jin family's medicine is so expensive!"
"Isn't there still the Chen family?"
Zhou Fu said casually. Who knew that the little girl would say angrily, "It's all because of Caretaker Shi at the docks. Whoever dares to get medicine from the Chen family can't work at his place!"
Zhou Fu was stunned. Not allowed to get medicine from the Chen family?!
He said again, "I think there's a Huang Jia's clinic here. Although it's not as big as the Chen family's and the Jin family's …"
The little girl said in astonishment, "Little brother, didn't you know yesterday?
The Huang Jia's clinic was smashed. Furthermore, one of their grain stores caught fire!
What a big fire, I … "
"Wretched girl, come and help!"
The lady boss shouted angrily. The little girl was so scared that she shrank back. She stuck out her tongue at Zhou Fu, got up and ran away.
