Chapter Thirty-Two: Cooking at Your Door



Qian Wanliang's muscular physique was no accident; in no time, he had devoured a pound of meat, and still wanted more: "Is there any more?"

Shen Qingyu looked troubled: Yes, there is, but to take out several kilograms of braised meat in front of Xiao Yunqi... that doesn't make sense.

So I could only make an excuse: "I still have some at home, but I don't have any on hand. How about I bring you some next time?"

"Good, good, good!" Qian Wanliang was delighted, pointing at the carriage with his greasy finger, "This carriage is comfortable, would you like to ride in it?"

The invitation from the chubby young master with clear eyes made Shen Qingyu, whose bottom was practically bouncing in four directions, very tempted, so she looked at Xiao Yunqi.

Xiao Yunqi said with a dark face, "It is not appropriate for a married woman to be in the same room as a man."

The chubby young master said sincerely, "Then you should come along too!"

Looking at the simple-minded Qian Wanliang, Xiao Yunqi felt he was overthinking things: what could someone who was playing with his concubine possibly have with Shen Qingyu?

Shen Qingyu had already stepped into the car. After sitting down, she asked Xiao Yunqi, "Are you getting in or not?"

Xiao Yunqi was overlooked: "Shen Qingyu!"

When you're traveling, shouldn't you ask for my opinion on these kinds of things?

Shen Qingyu grinned: "Or do you want to walk around a bit more before you need to pee?"

Xiao Yunqi's momentum vanished: "..."

It turns out this woman knew all along, but kept quiet, waiting to see what happened...

The thought that she knew everything... made Xiao Yunqi feel a tightness in a certain part of himself, and he felt the urge to urinate again.

In the end, Shen Qingyu and Qian Wanliang rode in the carriage, while Xiao Yunqi rode alongside on horseback.

The chubby young master asked, "Sister, what do you want to buy?"

Shen Qingyu: "I don't know yet, let's wait and see..."

"Do you want to buy fabric for clothes? Jewelry? Rouge and face powder? And all sorts of delicious food?"

"Hmm... take a look at them all." Shen Qingyu nodded.

"Then come with me, my family owns all these shops." The chubby young master waved his hand, instructing the driver to take Shen Qingyu in one of the directions.

The three of them stood at the street corner. Shen Qingyu pointed to the bustling cobblestone street and asked, "Which one is yours?"

The chubby young master: "They are all!"

"Huh?" Shen Qingyu doubted that she had misunderstood.

The rickshaw driver, Old He, proudly declared from the side, "That's right, all the shops on this entire street belong to the Qian family!"

Shen Qingyu: "..."

With the chubby young master accompanying her, Shen Qingyu's shopping spree proceeded smoothly.

Seeing that Shen Qingyu was about to start browsing without buying anything, Xiao Yunqi immediately retreated: "I have things to do. You can take your time browsing here. I'll wait for you at the city gate when I'm done."

"Okay!" Shen Qingyu couldn't wait for him to leave.

Xiao Yunqi walked to the door, then turned back and slipped two pieces of paper into Shen Qingyu's hand.

Shen Qingyu opened it and found it contained two hundred taels of silver!

Yoho!

What's wrong with this man?

Why do they give money so readily?

"Why are you giving me money again?" Shen Qingyu asked in surprise.

Xiao Yunqi turned to look at the door: "Come out with me, you don't need to worry about money."

Before Shen Qingyu could speak, he strode away.

The driver, Lao He, was secretly surprised: This man looks like a country bumpkin, so why is he so generous?

Something's not right...

Shen Qingyu thought for a moment and then put the silver note away.

The fabric shop had a much wider variety of fabrics and patterns than in town. Even the sky-blue silk and light blue silk that were sold last time were available here, and they were even cheaper than in town.

After touching all the fabrics she liked, Shen Qingyu bought two bolts of sky-blue silk and two bolts of light-colored silk, spending twenty taels of silver.

Even more surprisingly, the prices of Qinghui Silk and Tianqing Silk in the Space Mall have also dropped slightly, becoming the same as the prices in this shop.

Hey!

The online marketplace will also adjust its prices according to market conditions?!

This gave Shen Qingyu even more motivation, and she switched her focus to the jewelry shop.

With the chubby young master around, the shopkeeper was willing to take out all sorts of precious jewelry to look at.

After looking around for a while, Shen Qingyu listened to the prompts from the Space Mall and selected three silver lockets to give to the three children.

The shopkeeper: "..."

Then came cosmetics shops, pharmacies, general stores...

Upon seeing the pawnshop, Shen Qingyu asked the chubby young master curiously, "Is this yours too?"

"Yes! It's mine." The chubby young master nodded.

"May I go in and take a look?"

"sure."

So Shen Qingyu went inside.

"Can I take a look at the things you've seized here?"

Items that are pawned can be bought and sold.

The shopkeeper then laid out various kinds of jewelry.

As Shen Qingyu looked around, she listened to the notification sounds from the space and asked the shopkeeper about the prices.

When she encountered a significant difference between the pawnshop price and the price in the online store, she would examine it carefully.

When a silver pocket watch fell into Shen Qingyu's hands, the shop showed a price of five thousand taels of silver, but the shopkeeper only asked for five taels.

What does this mean?

The shopkeeper explained, "This pocket watch is an imported item, pawned two years ago. It's broken, and no one knows how to repair it. I'm just selling it for five taels of silver as a token of appreciation, considering it a rare item."

I'm familiar with this!

Shen Qingyu immediately offered: "I'll take this pocket watch."

After leaving the pawnshop, Shen Qingyu wanted to find a quiet place to examine the pocket watch, but the chubby young master followed her closely.

Shen Qingyu was conflicted: she wanted to abandon this chubby young master, but she couldn't bear to.

What's the difference between this and a dishonest merchant who uses something and then throws it away?

After much thought, the conscientious businessman Shen Qingyu asked the chubby young master, "Young Master Qian, how about I treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude?"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Qian's eyes lit up: "You're going to treat me to dinner? What are we going to eat?"

"You name a good place to eat, and we'll go there." Shen Qingyu decided to splurge on the pocket watch.

The light in the chubby young master's eyes immediately died down: "I'm tired of everything in this city... none of it tastes as good as the braised intestines you made."

Shen Qingyu: "..."

Coachman Lao He knew his young master well: "Madam Shen must be a very good cook? Why don't you come to our mansion and cook a meal for my young master?"

The chubby young master's eyes lit up instantly.

Shen Qingyu: "..."

In the end, Shen Qingyu still went.

The magnificent mansion and the imposing stone lions attracted many concubines who had heard the news as soon as Shen Qingyu entered the courtyard.

When the concubines saw their husbands with bruises and swelling on their faces, and with a plump woman in a married woman's hairstyle, they were dumbfounded: Had their husbands' tastes... become more extreme?

Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian also came out to greet them, and they were stunned when they saw Shen Qingyu.

Shen Qingyu didn't want to cause a misunderstanding, so she quickly explained, "I ran into Young Master Qian on the street today..."

Shen Qingyu apologized and explained, and since Young Master Qian seemed indifferent, Mr. and Mrs. Qian decided not to pursue the matter further.

If you're going to cook, then cook a proper meal and then see them off.

Shen Qingyu turned and went to the kitchen. Madam Qian watched her back and suddenly felt that the silver magnolia hairpin in her hair looked somewhat familiar...
