Chapter 53 Going to the Capital (Part 1)
"It's really beautiful!" said Jiang You, "It would be even better if there was a flowery straw hat!"
Alexi smiled and said, "Yes!"
She waved her hand, and a group of little girls crowded in from outside the door. They rushed to raise the hats in their hands in front of Jiangyou.
Takumi Yu: "!! So many?!"
The eight children made a total of five hats, each one was different and beautiful in its own way.
The two oldest children were holding together a lady's hat made of the same goose yellow fabric. There was a light frame inside the hat to support its shape. The hat was tied with a pink ribbon, and one side of the ribbon was also made of colorful tulle to make beautiful little flowers. They were stacked together to form a small bouquet, which was the best match for the dress in terms of both creativity and fit.
The three youngest children weaved a wide-brimmed summer straw hat. This kind of straw hat is very common and easy to weave. It also has specially dried flowers on it, which is very suitable for playing in the wild.
The other three hats were made individually by several children. There is a women's hat with feathers, a wide-brimmed hat with a big pink bow, and a women's plaid beret that can be worn at an angle. There is also a decorative belt buckle on the hat, which is a very British design.
"Wow!" Jiang You exclaimed in shock, "They are all so talented! They shouldn't be chefs, they should open clothing stores! Is this racial talent?!"
"It's just that I see and do a lot more often." Alexi laughed. Jiang You's flattery put her at ease and she wasn't as nervous as before. "We heard that Lord Andrei is going to the capital to be crowned, and I guess you'll need to attend some gatherings. So we took the time to do this. I don't know if it can be of any help to you."
"Of course I can!" Jiang You said confidently, "I like them all!"
The light yellow lady's floral hat and the summer wide-brimmed straw hat went very well with the skirt. Jiang You was so happy that she didn't want to take off the skirt and went home wearing it.
Andre was combing Diego's coat in front of the stable when he saw a figure in a light yellow dress leap from the mule cart with a whirring sound. The skirt fluttered, the waist slender, the hat swayed. Suddenly, he thought he was seeing the woman from his dream.
Andrei's face flushed slightly: "This lady..."
Takumi raised his hat and said, "Hey, Andre! I'm back!"
Andre's face seemed to get even redder, and he stammered, "Little Bone...? Why are you wearing a skirt... No, what I want to say is, this skirt is really beautiful, you should wear it more often."
"Hey! Alexi made this for me!" Jiang You pinched the hem of her skirt and turned around again. "Can I wear this to the King?"
Andre nodded heavily: "Yes, it's perfect."
Andrei helped her unload the mule cart. Jericho led the mule into the stable, a look of disbelief on his face: "My God! The young master is actually obsessed with skeletons!"
The house-guarding spirit, who knew nothing about love, shook his head and watched the two of them talking and laughing as they carried their things into the house… Don’t say it, just looking at their backs, they really do look a good match.

The next morning, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the brewery. A knight of the kingdom jumped from the driver's seat and handed over the carriage to Jericho.
This carriage was originally the property of Baron Neumann, but now it has a new owner.
The attitudes of the Kingdom's knights also changed. Now, they acted with trepidation, eager to help Andrei. Even without Andrei's own instructions, someone would help him handle everything.
This carriage was carefully selected by Andrei. It was large enough, comfortable enough, and luxurious enough. For such an occasion in the capital, it could well show the grandeur that people expected to see.
The luggage for the trip to the capital had been packed. Andrei's carry-on luggage was minimal, consisting of just a set of armor and a change of clothes. Takumiu had packed her new dress, hat, and chef's uniform. The remaining spacious space in the vehicle was filled with portable snack stands, pots and pans, and bottles and jars of sauces.
The brewing workshop still needed to be open, so Jiangyou only brought the Crucible of Time and his favorite set of kitchen utensils. There was another set left in the workshop, which was enough to ensure operations.
She left enough money for the store to operate during this period, and paid the refrigerator loan for this month. The rest of the money was stuffed into Jiangyou's head - it was said that the consumption in the royal capital was very high, and Jiangyou didn't know whether this money was enough.
Xiaogutou was completely immersed in the joy of traveling. In her previous life, she rarely traveled, mostly traveling with her family to other cities for medical treatment. She had rarely experienced the joy of simple travel, but she longed for that kind of life. After arriving in this world, whether it was the Witch Forest, the Alchemy City, or Rose Villa, they all left a deep impression on her.
"What does the capital look like?" She sat in the luxurious carriage, her pelvis bounced a few times on the elastic sofa, pulled aside the curtains, and asked the black-haired knight outside.
"It's very prosperous." Andre said concisely.
He glanced at Little Bone's unsatisfied expression, pondered for a moment, and began a detailed introduction: "It's very different from West Eston, not only in the landscape, but also in the atmosphere of the streets and alleys. The entire capital is filled with people from all corners of the world, not only from our country, but also from many other countries, even from distant continents across the ocean. You can see all kinds of strange races on the streets, some of which are even beyond your wildest imagination.
"The world's cultures, ideas, and cuisines collide and converge there. The capital is the most advanced and open-minded place in the country, and it also has the best universities.
“There’s the country’s largest market, and you can buy local specialties from almost every corner of the world there… As long as you can pay enough, there will be people willing to work for you.
"Of course, every light has its shadows. There are nobles and poor people in this city. The security in the capital is much better than in West Eston, but there are still dark alleys and black markets that ordinary people dare not go to... But, with me, you don't have to worry about these things."
Jiang You leaned against the window, his chin supported by his bony claws, his eyes flickering with longing for the capital. "What delicious food is there?"
"The capital has the most complete variety of spices in the world. The latest trending delicacy is an exotic spice dish from the south called..." Andre tried to recall and uttered the word, "Curry."
