"I was probably 4 or 5, or maybe 5 or 6, I can't remember exactly."
He spoke slowly and steadily, "Qingcheng at that time was much more lively and prosperous than it is now. There were jugglers performing on Tianshui Street every day, including monkey performers and sword performers. Everyone loved to gather there to watch.
The children were held on the necks of their fathers or brothers and watched with great interest.
After watching the acrobatics, you can buy a string of candied haws or a sugar figurine.
Fat Grandma's candies are also a favorite snack for kids. You can buy one for three copper coins and have fun eating and playing with it for most of the day."
Si Jiu looked at him in surprise and saw that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was reminiscing about the good old days.
Sijiu frowned. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Ah~" He suddenly sighed, his eyes looking somewhere, slightly widened.
He looked a little excited.
Si Jiu was puzzled and followed his gaze.
"I didn't expect it would still be here after more than ten years."
She was a middle-aged woman selling snacks. She was called a fat grandma and she was indeed quite fat, but she didn't look very old, probably in her fifties at most.
Fat people who are kind will appear particularly benevolent, but some with a face full of fat may appear more ferocious.
This fat old lady looks quite fierce.
"She looks a bit fierce, doesn't she? But she had a very good business back then. Her candies were very fragrant and sweet. She was very famous."
I don’t know if he thought about the sweetness of the candy, Si Jiu even saw him swallowing very slightly.
This made her heart soften instantly, and she couldn't help but say, "If you want to eat, I'll buy you one."
Shen Xinghe suddenly looked over, with a complex and inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
After a while, he smiled and said, "I'm already this old now, Master, do you still think I'm a child?"
"Let's go and take a look at the front. There aren't many people here, so I don't think we can get any information. I remember there's a restaurant that's doing very good business up ahead."
He said this and walked forward.
Sijiu paused, then turned to look at the fat old lady who was running the stall and looked gloomy because of the slow business, and then followed Shen Xinghe.
There was indeed a restaurant in front, the famous "Zhenxiulou" in Qingcheng. Even though it is now in a state of great depression, there are still many drinkers and diners patronizing it.
Shen Xinghe is tall, has long legs and is handsome. The young man who was disguised as Sijiu is also handsome and well-mannered. Although they are wearing ordinary clothes, they still have a good temperament.
So as soon as the two men stepped into the lobby of Zhenxiu Building, the waiter inside immediately recognized that they were two "gentlemen" at a glance and immediately came to greet them with a smile on his face.
"Dear guests, please come this way.
Is it to eat or drink?
We have a new premium brew in our shop, would you like to try it?"
Divine wine?
Sijiu's eyes lit up slightly.
This guy has been dealing with people for many years and is very good at observing people's words and expressions. It is obvious that he is attracted by this younger-looking young man.
This is a sure thing.
The waiter was secretly delighted and became more attentive, "The Immortal Brew is a new product that Qingcheng Wine Fairy just released recently. As soon as it was launched, it was crazily sought after and received unanimous praise from wine lovers.
My lord, let me tell you, if this divine wine is ranked second among all wines, no other wine dares to claim to be the best.
Would you two like a pot?"
As the waiter was speaking, he was already leading the two of them to the private room on the second floor.
"Give me a pot." Sijiu said loudly, "Don't go upstairs, just sit here."
She walked towards an empty table.
If you want to find out gossip, why would you go to a private room to listen to it?
It was almost lunchtime and the restaurant was quite crowded, with seven or eight tables of guests already on the first floor.
Sijiu found a seat that was not too far away but not too crowded.
The guy looked at it and was a little puzzled.
Judging from their demeanor, these two don’t look like poor people. They can’t even afford to sit in a private room?
Can they pay for the divine wine?
As he was hesitating, a golden ingot suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Is that enough?"
The waiter's gaze reluctantly moved up from the gold ingots and met the dark eyes of the taller boy.
Somehow, I felt a chill down my spine.
