Chapter 185 The Dog Emperor Helped Her Waist
He took a bite of the candied haws on the top. The crispy sugar coating paired with the sweet and sour hawthorn was just as Yun Chu said, and it tasted better than the one he had that day.
"There's a food street ahead, let's go take a look."
Song Yunchu said this and walked over with great interest.
She only drank a small bowl of osmanthus soup in the morning, just to save stomach for strolling on the street. The court had strict management of street vendors, and usually would not allow too many stalls to occupy the road. Only when lively festivals came, these stalls were allowed to appear in groups.
Jun Liluo followed Song Yunchu's pace. As he walked, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He turned around and stretched out his hand to the secret guard: "Give me the purse."
Yun Chu paid for the candied haws both times, and now it was his turn to pay.
Song Yunchu didn't pay attention to the movement behind her, her eyes were caught by a stall selling grilled lamb skewers.
The mutton skewers were sizzling on the rack, and the stall owner was turning them over and sprinkling all kinds of spices on them. Although Song Yunchu had eaten many delicious foods, he still couldn't resist craving for barbecue.
She hasn't eaten street skewers for a long time. She used to be the boss of a barbecue stall and could order a large table by herself.
It’s a pity that the barbecue she eats in this world now is not as delicious as that in her original world.
Behind her, Jun Liluo listened to her mumbling, seeming to be thinking about something.
Most people in Tianqi Kingdom like to cook food by steaming, boiling, frying and stir-frying. Barbecue is not popular in the imperial city. If we only talk about grilled skewers, the skills of people in this dynasty are probably not as good as those of foreigners.
In the far northwest, people are very good at barbecue. If we can find a chef there, the skewers he makes will definitely be better than those in this food street.
While Jun Liluo was thinking, Song Yunchu said to the stall owner: "Give me ten skewers and divide them into five small bowls."
In addition to her and Jun Li Luo, there are also Bai Zhu and two secret guards. It’s enough for each person to eat a little, after all, there are still many more stalls to come.
Bai Zhu was about to pay the bill, but Jun Liluo arrived at Song Yunchu's side before him and handed a silver ingot to the stall owner.
Song Yunchu was stunned, "Brother Luo, you..."
"I'll pay." Jun Liluo said, "You've bought me candied haws twice."
"I'm not trying to compete with you to pay the bill." Song Yunchu was a little amused. "Your silver is too big. It's hard for the stall owner to give you change. Do you have small change?"
She didn't expect Jun Li Luo to have any copper coins on him. These snacks were not expensive, and it was more than enough to pay with small change.
Jun Li Luo felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
He had already taken out the silver, and it was difficult for him to take it back and change it into small change.
As the king of a country, how can you be so stingy?
Didn’t Yun Chu say that she hated stingy men the most?
"It's hard to find change, so don't bother." Jun Liluo put the silver on the stall, "The extra money can be considered a gift to the stall owner."
Song Yunchu: “…”
[No, buddy, with the way you spend your money, how many stalls can you afford with this bag of money? ]
[Ten taels of silver to buy ten skewers, only you can do that, just like the stupid son of a landlord. ]
[Business people clearly mark their prices, so even if you give them small change, they will still make a profit. You are so generous because you want to be famous in the food court, right? Let everyone know that there is a rich man out shopping and randomly throwing money around.]
The corner of Jun Li Luo's eye twitched slightly.
"Sir, don't be ridiculous. You can buy my entire stall."
The stall owner picked up the silver ingot and put it back into Jun Liluo's hand.
He didn't know which family this young man came from. Was he always so generous, or was he a little mentally ill? His business was not very popular, and the taste was just so-so. This young man threw so much money without even tasting a bite. It didn't make sense no matter how he thought about it. Anyway, this money was hot in his hands, so he should not be greedy.
Song Yunchu sighed and gave the stall owner a piece of silver. "Don't blame me, stall owner. My brother has a very strict upbringing. He rarely goes out and has almost never bought anything by himself. I don't know much about prices. This string of beans seems to be almost ripe. You can pack it for us. You don't have to give me the change."
The stall owner smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, sir."
After the skewers were assembled, Song Yunchu gave each person a bowl.
"Brother Luo, don't think I'm being long-winded. There are certain rules for buying things. For example, the snacks on this street are mostly priced in copper coins. Rich people usually just give a piece of silver, which is equivalent to paying one or two times the price. The stall owners will be very happy. If you give too much, they will tend to have wild thoughts."
Jun Liluo took over the conversation: "I understand. If you act against common sense, you will appear to be out of tune with everyone else."
There were small changes at the bottom of the purse, but he felt the bigger ones first and gave them away. He never had to pay for things when he went out, so he had no idea about the prices.
Yun Chu's words really reminded him that since he had left the palace, he should learn to integrate into the people, observe folk affairs carefully, and try not to do anything too conspicuous.
Being with Yun Chu really helped him learn a lot.
After eating the skewers, Song Yunchu set his eyes on the grilled meat patties from another stall. This time, Jun Liluo was much more cautious. He asked the stall owner about the price first. When he heard that the other party wanted twenty copper coins, he gave him a piece of silver.
"No need to look for it."
"Oh, thank you! I'll add more meat filling to make my pie delicious."
When Song Yun first saw this, he felt relieved.
[Although the dog emperor has no common sense, fortunately he is willing to listen to advice. ]
Jun Liluo thought to himself: That's natural.
The crowd strolled along the way and soon arrived at the busiest area at the end of the street. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was crowded.
This was because the Flower God Parade would pass by here in half an hour, and people were worried that if they arrived too late they would miss the excitement, so they all came early to wait.
Jun Li Luo and Song Yunchu were moving through the crowd when they heard people in front of them pushing and shoving and shouting to make way. The woman in front of Song Yunchu lost her balance and fell towards her. She raised her hand to help her, but then quickly withdrew her hand when she remembered that she was dressed as a man. However, the people in front were still pushing and shoving, and Song Yunchu was pushed back by the crowd.
Jun Liluo was afraid that she would fall, so he subconsciously put his arms around her waist.
If she used her internal strength, no one could get close to her, but she would not attack the unarmed civilians around her, so she could only let the crowd squeeze her.
Song Yunchu felt a tightness around his waist and looked down at the hand that was supporting his waist.
[Dog Emperor, can't you hold my shoulders? What does it look like for two grown men to hug each other's waists? ]
[How can I get him to retract his claws? Even though the streets are so crowded, Bai Zhu and the others might not be able to see us, but if they do see us, they might think we are having an affair.]
Jun Li Luo twitched the corners of his lips, and although he was a little reluctant, he still let go of her hand.
Song Yunchu also breathed a sigh of relief.
[It seems that the dog emperor just helped me casually, he probably didn't think too much about it. ]
Jun Li Luo thought to himself: I did help you casually, but I really want to hug you openly.
"Make way, make way."
The person in front was shouting rudely and had already pushed through the crowd. Jun Liluo saw him passing by him, sneered, and tripped him at the ankle, causing him to fall forward. He screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
