"Are you really going?" Ling Qi thought Qiu Yan was just saying it casually.
Qiu Yan: "We've been traveling for two months straight, everyone's exhausted. Let's take a day off and relax."
If we go any further, things probably won't be much better.
Qiu Yan wanted to take advantage of the temporary prosperity to make plans for her future journey.
Following the chef's directions, Qiu Yan spotted the towering Shuangxi Building plaque on the deserted street.
She stopped in front of Shuangxi Building.
This place is more than twice the size of the original Baiyang Shuangxi Tower.
It was much bigger than she had expected.
From the outside, it looks magnificent.
"This place is nice," Ling Qi genuinely thought.
They hadn't dined at a restaurant in a long time.
"Shuangxi Building?" Qin Susu read the plaque carefully. "This name sounds familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
Qiu Yan was speechless for a moment.
Didn't she just mention the name of this restaurant?
Qin Susu: "So, it's a restaurant. Xiaoyan, we can't even afford a proper meal, what are we doing here?"
"If I can't afford it, I can at least look at it."
After Qiu Yan finished speaking, she took the lead and entered Shuangxi Tower.
Qin Susu followed behind and said to Qiu Yan in a low voice, "Xiao Yan, this shop is even bigger than Xingyuelou in Shangjin, so the food must be much more expensive. Since we don't have any money, let's not go... Um, the steamed buns on the street are pretty good, could you buy me two?"
She has now learned to be frugal.
"Didn't we just have breakfast?" Qiu Yan looked up at the menu written on the wall.
It is considerably more expensive.
"But I'm not full yet." Qin Susu kept pestering her, and Qiu Yan, annoyed, finally gave her a few copper coins.
Qin Susu grinned, quickly stuffed the bun into her pocket, and dashed off to the steamed bun shop on the street.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba were already used to this scene.
Qin Susu came to collect a debt.
That's how I met Xiaoyan, a kind and good-hearted person.
If she had encountered someone difficult to talk to, they would have sent her back to her hometown long ago.
A servant saw Qiu Yan and her companions enter the restaurant and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile: "Miss, you've come too early. Our restaurant is not open in the morning."
Qiu Yan certainly knew this.
They don't have money for food.
"I heard that your restaurant is for sale?" Qiu Yan asked while examining the furnishings of Shuangxi Restaurant.
The layout of Shuangxi Building is exactly the same as that of Shuangxi Building in Baiyang. However, the materials used are more sturdy, the workmanship is more exquisite, the space is much more spacious, and the visual effect is better.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a restaurant in the capital.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba exchanged a glance, their minds preoccupied with the conversation they had overheard that morning.
They both thought to themselves, "Xiaoyan, even if you want to do business, you should consider your own capabilities."
"It's for sale," the waiter said with a smile.
He carefully examined Qiu Yan and her group of four. "Who among you wishes to buy?"
Ling Ba shook his head. Even though the restaurant was going to be sold off cheaply, he didn't think that the four of them alone could afford to buy such a large restaurant.
"Xiaoyan, don't tell me you want to buy a restaurant? Can we... afford it?"
Qin Susu jogged over to Qiu Yan's side.
She was chewing on a meat bun, and her words were mumbled.
She reached out and offered Qiu Yan a meat bun, but Qiu Yan shook her head at her, then smiled at her.
"If we exchange you for the betrothal gifts, we can definitely afford them." Qiu Yan lowered her voice, causing Qin Susu's face to tense up...
