Chapter 136 Gu Zheng was stunned
"I don't know either, I want the prettiest one."
"Haha, the little one is so cute. Auntie will make you the prettiest one. You can wait here and come back to pick it up later, it will take about half an hour."
Gu Zheng and Yu Na sat and waited with the two little ones, while Xia Zhiyun took Yuanyuan into the ethnic minority silver jewelry shop next door.
As soon as Yuanyuan went in, she was so attracted that she couldn't move.
It's so beautiful, so shimmering silver.
Yuanyuan stared wide-eyed at the shelves filled with silver necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and headdresses.
Various styles, dazzlingly bright under the lights.
"Mom, this one."
She pointed with her little finger to a silver necklace inlaid with gemstones. The edge of the necklace was engraved with small patterns, and three round little silver bells hung below.
"This one is pretty, and it even has a little bell."
Xia Zhiyun walked over, picked up the necklace and weighed it in her hand. It felt heavy and the workmanship looked quite exquisite.
She knelt down, put the collar around Yuanyuan's neck, adjusted the tightness, and asked, "Is it comfortable? Does it feel too tight?"
Yuanyuan shook her head, her little hand touching the small bell on her collar. She shook it gently, and the tinkling sound was particularly pleasant. "I don't feel uncomfortable, Mommy, I like this."
The proprietress leaned over, smiling and praising, "Little one, you have excellent taste! These are handmade Miao silver ornaments, and the agate inlaid on them is natural..."
Xia Zhiyun looked at Yuanyuan in front of her and thought that she did look good wearing this.
It's a bit heavy, though.
She then picked up a silver bracelet with a small butterfly on it and put it on Yuanyuan's wrist. The butterfly wings even moved. "Do you like this?"
Yuanyuan looked down at the butterfly on her wrist, then touched the bell around her neck. She happily spun around, the bell jingling as she did so.
"Mom, I like this. Shall we buy it?"
Xia Zhiyun smiled and nodded, ruffling her hair. "Buy it if you like it, as long as our Yuanyuan is happy."
The proprietress was delighted, fearing that she might change her mind, and quickly packed it up, saying, "Don't worry about wearing it, all ours are pure silver, and they'll get shinier the more you wear them."
Xia Zhiyun nodded and took the bag.
“We also have ethnic costumes upstairs, would you like to take a look?”
It looks great together, and we even offer free hairstyling and makeup.
"..."
"Yes, yes, Mom, I want to wear beautiful ethnic clothes!" She had just seen many people wearing them on the street, and they looked so pretty.
Xia Zhiyun stumbled forward as she was pulled, but nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's go up and take a look."
The upstairs was filled with all kinds of ethnic costumes, red, blue, pink, and colorful, which were particularly eye-catching.
The proprietress picked up a pink Miao ethnic costume and handed it to Yuanyuan.
Kids, try this set! The embroidery is handmade, and there are little silver bells on the hem. When you twirl it, the bells ring and the skirt flutters—it looks so pretty!
Yuanyuan eagerly took it and changed into it with the help of the proprietress.
She wore a pink embroidered top paired with a burgundy pleated skirt, and the silver sequins at the neckline swayed gently with her movements.
Yuanyuan ran up to Xia Zhiyun, tiptoed and twirled, her skirt fluttering and the silver bells jingling.
"Mom, is it pretty?"
"Beautiful." Xia Zhiyun couldn't help but take out her phone to take a picture. "Our Yuanyuan looks good in anything."
"Mom, would you like to wear this with me?"
"good."
The proprietress beamed with joy, her eyes practically disappearing as she exclaimed, "We've struck it rich today!"
Even if you don't make any sales for a few days after selling two sets, you won't have to worry.
The more enthusiastic the attitude, the better.
The proprietress pulled out a set of light purple Miao ethnic clothing from somewhere, with hand-embroidered collar and layers of pleats on the skirt.
He wore a belt embroidered with intricate patterns around his waist, with small round silver pieces hanging from it.
"This outfit matches your baby perfectly."
Xia Zhiyun nodded, "Okay, let's try this one."
Xia Zhiyun put on the top, and the proprietress helped her tie the belt and tugged at the hem of the skirt to make the pleats spread out.
"You have fair skin, and purple makes you look elegant. Standing next to your daughter, you look like sisters."
That's an exaggeration.
Yuanyuan circled around Xia Zhiyun twice, saying, "Mom is so beautiful, like a fairy."
The proprietress led her to the full-length mirror, saying, "Look how well it fits you and how much it makes your skin look fairer."
You can't buy flowers this good by hand anywhere else.
Xia Zhiyun looked at herself in the mirror. She was used to wearing business attire and casual wear, so it was really refreshing to suddenly change into this kind of clothing with ethnic flair.
"It looks great, I'll take this one."
The proprietress happily packed up their clothes and handed them two small embroidered bags.
"These are free for you to carry your belongings. They're all handmade and look great with your clothes."
"OK, thanks."
I spent nearly 20,000 yuan in about half an hour after entering the store, no wonder the owner was so enthusiastic.
When Gu Zheng came out, he was just coming out of the tie-dye shop. He was stunned for a full ten seconds when he saw the mother and daughter.
"Daddy, is it pretty?"
Yuanyuan excitedly rushed over and hugged his leg.
As he ran, the silver bells jingled.
"nice."
"Am I prettier than my mom?"
Gu Zheng's Adam's apple bobbed. "They all look good."
"Let's go, let's walk around some more, and find a place to eat." Xia Zhiyun walked over and took the bag from his hand. She knew it wouldn't be convenient for her to carry Yuanyuan dressed like that.
"Ah, oh, okay!"
Around noon, they found a Bai ethnic restaurant and ordered several signature dishes, including spicy and sour fish, "Tu Ba Wan" (a type of stew), and milk fan sachima (a type of sweet pastry).
Yu Na stared at the spicy and sour fish, wanting to reach out and grab it, but Xia Zhiyun stopped her.
"It's a bit spicy, you can't eat it, so I'll order you steamed fish instead."
"Spicy? What does that taste like?"
"It just hurts my mouth after eating it," Yuanyuan answered for him.
Yu Na looked a little dazed and confused.
If it hurts your mouth after eating, why do you still eat it?
Yuanyuan doesn't eat spicy food much, but she looked on with envy.
Gu Zheng picked up a small piece of fish that wasn't coated with much chili, blew on it to cool it down, and held it to her lips. "Here, have a bite. If it's too spicy, spit it out."
Yuanyuan nodded, chewed, and her little face immediately scrunched up, tears welling up in her eyes.
"So spicy, so spicy!"
Xia Zhiyun quickly handed her a glass of warm water, "Drink some water, you know it's spicy, why did you still eat it?"
"I just want to try it, it looks delicious."
"You can have this, roasted milk fan."
Xia Zhiyun tore off a small piece of golden and crispy roasted milk fan and held it to Yuanyuan's lips: "This isn't spicy."
Yuanyuan sniffed, hesitated, and then took a small bite. The sweet milky aroma instantly spread in her mouth, along with a hint of charcoal-grilled fragrance.
Her eyes lit up. "Delicious! Sweet."
Seeing that she liked it, Gu Zheng took the whole skewer of roasted milk fan, tore it into small pieces and put them in her bowl. "Eat slowly, it's still a little hot from being roasted."
"Okay!"
Xia Zhiyun smiled and scooped a spoonful of seaweed and taro soup for her, "This soup is also good, have a taste."
"Okay, I'll drink the soup after I finish this."
Soon, the steamed fish from Yu Na was served, and they also ordered the local specialty, raw pork skin, for Little Wolf, Little White, and Little Snake.
