Chapter 232: Washing Apples
Sreta led the way into the tavern, with the guards following behind.
The waiter who was sweeping the floor at the door was stunned and rubbed his eyes. He seemed to see a small figure walking in from front of him... and thought it was impossible, so he lowered his head and swept the floor.
The lights in the tavern are a little dim, with fenced bar tables and chairs on both sides, and there are many untied food dishes and wooden barrel wine glasses on some bar tables.
It’s not a bad thing that is the tavern in Dongcheng District, where there are fire magic crystals that keep the temperature in it. I can feel the warmth in the tavern at once.
The boss of the bar was directing his men to pack up his things. From time to time, he lowered his head and took a pen to record the things, as if he was counting them.
The door suddenly opened, and the boss subconsciously looked up, and the first thing he saw was a small figure.

Wearing a hooded cloak, only half of her face could be seen, but her figure and clothing looked obviously a little civilian girl.
The boss was about to stop him, but he felt that the child playing outside ran into the tavern, and this kind of thing was not once or twice.
But as soon as I put the words in my mouth, I saw two adult men following the little girl.
The two men were wearing long swords around their waists, and their eyes were full of helplessness when they looked at the little girl.
But when the man's eyes moved away from the little girl, his eyes changed suddenly and became cold and fierce, like a vicious dog.
Come to the tavern with weapons...
The tavern owner immediately stopped and lowered his head to pretend that he didn't see the little girl.
He guessed that the little girl was probably the child among the two men with swords, and that helpless expression was also regarded as doting by the tavern owner.
The capital is no better than the small town outside. Those who dare to walk with swords in the capital are basically not afraid of being investigated by the guards.
If an ordinary civilian is stopped by the guards, if the reason for the armed forces cannot be explained, it is normal to be killed on the spot.
When the tavern owner saw the strange three people found a newly cleaned table and sat down without calling for wine, he had no choice but to sigh helplessly, thinking that they were here to keep warm and hide from the wind... but seeing that the other party was not good, he did not dare to go up and persuade the other party to leave.
Anyway, the tavern is not officially open yet, so it is okay to let idle people sit and hide from the wind.
In fact, the main reason is that the tavern owner is timid.
Sreta blinked her cute big eyes and looked around.
The decoration of the tavern is not very bad, although it is not particularly good. On the contrary, the tavern does not want to make money from noble people. It is useless to decorate too well. The group I face is the capital civilians who have spare money in their pockets.
The common people who can live in the capital have no bad pockets. Although there are also poor people, there is still a gap compared to the fiefdom towns outside.
"Why is there no one?"
When he heard Sreta ask, the guard smiled: "Little master... it's still too early now, and there will be more people later."
Sreta nodded: "Okay, let's sit and wait for a while."
The guard was slightly stunned and asked quietly: "Little master, dinner time is coming soon... Miss Erlan and the others are probably waiting for you to go home."
"It's okay, eat later."
Sreta's ink-colored eyes were shining, and he was obviously interested in the things in the tavern. The guards were not blind, so he could see it naturally, so he had to sigh in his heart.
"Don't you drink alcohol now?"
The guard was startled: "However, there is, but little master, Erlan had instructed us a few days ago and said that you would not be allowed to drink..."
Sreta was stunned: "Who said I'm going to drink? I just asked if there is any."
"That's good..." Seeing that Sreta didn't want to drink, the guard immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained: "Although the tavern has not been officially opened, there is naturally still wine.
"Then why don't you drink?"
The guards looked at each other: "Little Master...now, it's not suitable."
Sreta blinked and suddenly realized, how could she drink in front of her?
And if Sreta hadn't said that she wanted to hide her aristocratic identity, these two guards would not dare to sit with Sreta, and they would have to run behind her.
Just sitting with Sreta, the two guards were so excited inside, let alone drinking.
Just as Sreta kept turning his head to look at the environment in the tavern, one of the guards suddenly woke up and quickly smiled and took out a cloth-wrapped leather bag from his chest, and then took out a bright red apple from the leather bag.
"Little Master."
Sreta turned his head and saw the guard handing over the fruit: "Where did it come from?"
"This is the apple grown by Ju Neilin Garden, you can try it! If you like it, let people resist a few bags of apples!"
Originally, the two guards came back from the family to honor Sreta with apples. But these things happened on the way that reminded them that they came over with a mission within the clan...
"Oh..." Sreta came to the tavern to see how much traffic there was and to calculate how much money he could earn in one night after the tavern.
Anyway, it's still early, so it's also a good time to wait. There is also an apple that's good to eat.
Just as I was about to reach out to get it, I saw that the guard's hands were a little dirty, and there was still some black mud in the cracks of his nails...
After a closer look, there was even a little plaster on the apples.
Seeing this, Sreta couldn't help but stop, with a disgusted look on his face.
She actually didn't care about it before, but she had already developed the habit of cleaning food before she became a noble.
If you want to say who taught me, there is no one except Xu Mu.
Xu Mu had to wash the fruits that could be eaten in the wild before she could eat them, which led to this good habit continuing to this day.
Seeing Sreta's expression like this, the guard holding the apple didn't understand what was going on, so he immediately took the apple back and wiped it with the cloak on his body.
Sreta saw this action and couldn't help but feel even more disgusted with it...
The guard wiped the apple shinyly and quickly smiled again and brought it with both hands.
Sreta still disliked it, but it was not easy to hit the guard's wishes, so he had to take out a clean handkerchief and wrap the apple and take it over.
The guards smiled a little embarrassedly when they saw this.
Perhaps the apple was too slippery, and the apple in Sreta's handkerchief slid off his hand.
The apple fell on the floor and rolled before stopping.
Seeing this, the guard quickly got up to pick it up, but unexpectedly the apple was picked up by one hand.
The one who picked up the apple was a young girl, who was not very old and looked like a waiter in a tavern.
The girl in the tavern smiled and pinched the apple, and smiled gently at Sreta, "Little sister, do you want your sister to help you wash the apples?"
The tavern owner glanced at him and couldn't help but say: "Daughter, don't be troublesome!"
Unexpectedly, the girl in front of me was the daughter of the tavern owner.
The girl grimaced at her father: "The guest's things are dirty, so why is it so troublesome if I help the guest wash them?"
The tavern owner shook his head in anger and looked at the apple in his daughter's hand and felt depressed...
Forget it if you don’t drink when you come to the tavern, but forget to hide from the wind and keep warm. He even brought food in to eat...
It is obvious that the girl rarely sees a little girl stepping into the tavern and is in a mood to play with the children. She takes the initiative to go forward and hold Sreta's little hand, and smiles and says, "Let's go, sister will take you to wash apples!"
When the guard saw the girl holding Sreta's hand, he almost stood up and scolded her. But he thought that Sreta had said that she wanted to hide her status as a nobleman and forced her to suppress her actions.
The cute big eyes under Sreta's hood blinked and said with a smile: "Okay."
The girl took Sreta to the front of the bar, carried Sreta to the high chair in front of the bar, and went into the bar to find water to clean the apples.
The two guards were embarrassed to stand up when they saw Sreta being hugged by a civilian girl...
