No one responded to her.
It was Aunt Li who had just come to her senses from what had just happened. After hearing this, she said angrily:
"Stop talking nonsense like a jinx, as if you're happy that our waiter is being targeted by the master. Little bitch, I haven't said anything to you yet, but you're already walking into trouble. Just now, Ziyuan and the other maids were looking for our waiter, and why are you still speaking for outsiders? Are you looking for trouble every day and restless? I'd rather talk to the manager and change your job." Aunt Li became more and more angry as she spoke, and she grabbed a chicken duster and slammed the table hard.
Xianxi was so frightened that she fell to her knees and began to beg for mercy. She didn't know how Li Yingying could escape from Ziyuan's hands.
Chunyan frowned. This happened again. If it was like this, why did she do it in the first place?
Li Yingying pretended not to see it and was busy with her own work.
The crowd watching at the door and those making noise in the tea room also dispersed with guilty consciences.
The dust has settled in the teahouse.
Zi Yuan pulled Xia Shu out of the service room and then let go of her hand.
She glanced at the waiter Fang Yu and said sternly, "Xia Shu, don't you see that's the young master's card? We can't touch this person for the time being."
Xia Shu said unwillingly, "So are you going to swallow this anger?"
Zi Yuan sneered, "Of course not, but there's no need for us to delay ourselves for a lowly servant. When the time comes, I will definitely avenge you."
Xia Shu twisted the handkerchief in her hand and looked at Fang Qi, the waiter, with hatred in her eyes...
After what happened with Ziyuan, no matter how dumb the people in the teahouse were, they all knew that although Li Yingying was just a menial servant, she was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Aunt Li became even more friendly towards Li Yingying.
The maid who came to fetch tea every day was also more talkative than before.
Ziyuan never came to the teahouse again.
The people in the tea room are much more confident than those in other service rooms.
That was all later on that day.
As soon as the working time came at Youshi that day, Li Yingying hurried out of the tea room.
Li Dajun was already happily waiting at the exit of the servants' quarters, carrying a hundred bags of spicy strips.
Before leaving the house today, Li Dajun put on his only piece of coarse cloth without patches. He wanted to wear this piece of cloth for his wedding.
Now that the family has money, there is naturally no shortage of clothes, and Li Dajun is willing to wear them out.
The two men walked out of Li's house unhindered with their passes.
The two of them rarely go out, and they only learned about Tongan County from what Li's father described today.
Tongan County is one of the five counties in Xichuan. Our county government is clean and honest, and is dedicated to benefiting the people. Therefore, it is considered the richest in Xichuan.
The best restaurant in the county is Fuchunlou. The main street is full of various shops, and the side streets are where small vendors and various sundry items are sold.
In the afternoon when they went to work, Li's mother gave Li Yingying another thirty taels of silver. She refused for a long time but couldn't resist Li's mother and accepted it.
After all, there are still more than 1,000 taels in the mall that I can't spend.
After leaving the house, the two followed the direction indicated by the gate and headed west. After crossing several streets and asking and walking around, it took them half an hour to see the auxiliary street.
This was the first time the two of them came out together, and even Li Yingying, a modern person, was dazzled.
There are all kinds of small vendors lined up on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of goods, and the shouts of merchants are one after another, which is a feast for the eyes.
Pedestrians are constantly walking around, creating a bustling and prosperous scene.
Li Yingying and Li Dajun found an open space, spread the coarse cloth on the ground, and put the spicy strips on it.
I found a sign, wrote "Free Tasting", opened a bag of spicy strips, and let people try them.
Li Yingying and Li Dajun stood in front of the stall, waiting for people to come and ask for prices and buy.
The auntie who sells dried goods next door looked at the two of them with an experienced look on her face and said, "Is this your first time here?"
Li Yingying and the other person nodded in unison.
The old lady had that all-knowing look on her face, and she kept mumbling, "That's not how you sell things. You have to shout, shout loudly, you know, that's how people will come to see it."
As she spoke, the aunt pretended to shout twice, and the shouts could be heard throughout the entire street. Then she signaled Li Yingying and the other two to follow her with her eyes.
Li Yingying just bowed to express her gratitude.
The old man selling baskets on the right looked at the two of them with suspicion.
If you come here to sell goods without shouting, no one will pay attention.
He thought so in his heart but didn't say anything. He sold goods for more than ten thousand yuan on Daxing Street. Some people made a lot of money in a day, while others didn't make a single penny. He had seen all kinds of things.
Li Yingying didn't care what other people said. She just stood in front of the stall, watching people coming and going on the street.
The two stood there for half a quarter of an hour, but no one came up to ask the price.
Li Dajun was a little confused, "Yingzi, is this really okay? Why hasn't anyone come to ask?"
"Wait a little longer, don't worry, we still have four quarters of an hour."
Another half a quarter of an hour passed, and still no one showed any interest.
Li Yingying couldn't help but look at the environment she was in and fell into deep thought. According to her observations at this moment, the people who came to Daxing Street to buy things were all ordinary people, and the things they sold were practical groceries used at home.
Naturally, no one paid attention to her spicy strips.
Li Yingying saw that time was running out and was about to leave when a middle-aged man with a big belly stopped in front of her stall.
Li Yingying and Li Dajun looked at the person who came. Just by the silk and satin he was wearing, one could tell from his body that he was a rich man.
The two looked at each other and greeted each other with smiles.
Li Yingying introduced it enthusiastically: "This is spicy noodles. It's numbing and spicy, and very flavorful. Try it first. We will give it a free taste."
As she spoke, Li Yingying passed the spicy strips to the man's nose. Before the man could smell it, the tempting spicy smell already penetrated his nose.
The man took the spicy strips and was about to taste them. The enchanting woman beside him covered her nose with a handkerchief and said with disdain, "Master, this Daxing Street is full of groceries. The food sold here is not clean. Don't eat it and get sick."
The woman's words made the man stop. He looked at the spicy strips in his hand. The packaging was neat and the aroma was extremely fragrant. He couldn't help but take a bite.
I couldn't stop eating after taking this bite, and I ate a few more pieces.
Li Yingying maintained her smile, but Li Dajun's face darkened. Should he buy it or not? If not, what was the point of eating several pieces? He just ate without saying anything.
The man ate almost all the spicy strips in the bag before he stopped eating.
The woman standing next to him already had an impatient look on her face.
The man looked at the spicy strips on the ground and asked, "How much is this?"
Li Yingying smiled and held up three fingers, "Thirty cents a pack."
Li Dajun was listening to this and his face froze. Wasn't it twenty cents? How come it became thirty cents as soon as it came out? This money is too easy to make.
The man didn't think the price was expensive. He waved his hand and said, "Just take the items to Fuchunlou and tell them they're for Boss Zhou. Someone will naturally pay you."
After saying that, the man took the woman and slowly walked out to the street.
Li Yingying and Li Dajun were happily packing up their stall, while the aunt and uncle next to them stared at them.
They just heard that the package was thirty cents. Wow, how could such a small package be so expensive?
They all came over to see what Li Yingying was selling.
Li Yingying and Li Dajun quickly packed up, asked the aunt and uncle for directions, and then headed towards Fuchun Tower.
The two of them went through three alleys before reaching the main street. They looked around for a while, dazzled, and walked and stopped. It took them a quarter of an hour to reach Fuchun Tower.
Fuchunlou is the largest restaurant in Tongan County. It is three stories high and you can see the whole city from the roof.
A red shop sign hung from the roof, and bright yellow lanterns, each as big as a person, were hung on the four corners, illuminating the interior of the shop as if it were daytime.
Li Dajun was stunned as he looked at the bustling scene of the main street. He only came to his senses after Li Yingying called him several times.
Li Yingying couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that her brother needed to see more of the world.
After a short delay, the two came to the counter on the first floor and explained their purpose.
The man counted the amount and gave the silver readily.
The first floor of Fuchun Tower is filled with scattered tables, full of people, drinking and chatting, it is very lively.
Li Yingying glanced at him and pulled Li Dajun out.
After all, she can only go out for one hour every day, and time is running out, and she still has to buy things.
Li Yingying and her husband went to the pastry shop and bought two boxes of pastries for Li's father and mother. They then went to the clothing store and bought a set of clothes for each member of the family and two pieces of fine cloth.
Li Dajun was carrying bags of things, and his mother was standing behind him, feeling distressed and shouting that he would be scolded by Li's mother if he went.
"Brother, we still have money at home. We should spend the money we earn. Wait for me here at the door. I'll go in and buy some seasonings." Li Yingying looked at the seasoning shop on the right and asked Li Dajun to wait at the door.
Now avoiding Li Dajun's sight, Li Yingying bought some plasters from the mall. Li's mother often complained of back pain, and this would definitely be more effective than the Chinese medicine dispensed from the pharmacy.
Then he bought a nanmu pipe. I don’t know how long Mr. Li’s pipe has been used, but seeing the knocks on it, it must be not working well.
He also bought an exquisite little hairpin for Taohong, and two pairs of old-fashioned cloth shoes for Li's father and Li Dajun, and then put all the things in the storage ring.
I bought various seasonings in the store and walked out.
Li Dajun waited outside for a long time. When he saw Li Yingying come out, she came up anxiously with bags of things in her hands. "Yingying, the hour is almost up."
Li Yingying looked at the eight-year-old man, who was spinning around in place with his hands full of things, and laughed out loud.
Li Dajun pretended to be angry, made a fist at Li Yingying and walked towards Li's house.
