Money Tree Sugar Painting
Not long after, Xu Zhixun and Long Qian walked out of the supermarket together and returned to the SUV.
Xu Zhixun took a bite of Magnum ice cream and found it sweet, refreshing, and delicious.
Overwhelmed with emotion, she turned to Long Qian and said, "It's a good thing I broke up with Xiao Muchen back then, otherwise we wouldn't be able to be together."
“Yes,” Long Qian said with a complicated expression, “Xiao Muchen was really stupid. He got what he deserved!”
And so, Xu Zhixun and Long Qian began to chat.
————————————————————
At 11 a.m., Xu Zhixun and Long Qian arrived at the entrance of Dreamland.
Dreamland is a large amusement park with various rides and attractions.
It's August, the height of summer, sunny and hot.
At the entrance of the Dreamland, there are many vendors selling their wares:
Balloons, children's toys, ice cream, candied hawthorn skewers, cotton candy, egg pancakes, barbecue, flower crowns, kites, socks, hair clips, table lamps...
The scene was very lively.
Many tourists gathered in front of the stalls to buy what they wanted.
Xu Zhixun looked around, then walked to the sugar painting stall.
On the straw targets at the stall, various kinds of sugar figurines were stuck:
Peaches, koi fish, sika deer, butterflies, dragons, phoenixes, flower baskets, dragonflies, roosters, thoroughbred horses, gourds, and so on.
The owner of the sugar figurine stall was a chubby middle-aged man wearing a dark gray Tang suit.
"Little sister, would you like to buy a sugar figurine?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.
"How much are these sugar figurines of yours?" Xu Zhixun asked casually.
The shop owner said with a smile, "The price of each type of sugar figurine is different, ranging from 15 yuan to 60 yuan."
"Huh? There are sugar figurines for 60 yuan? That's so expensive!" Xu Zhixun was surprised.
The shopkeeper explained, "The 60-yuan sugar figurine is a money tree with many copper coins hanging on it. You just need to shake the money tree and the copper coins will clink."
"Huh? Really?" Xu Zhixun found it amusing. "How tall is that money tree? Can it feed two people?"
Boss: "Of course it can be eaten by two people. The money tree is about 60 centimeters tall, so you can eat it with your boyfriend!"
Xu Zhixun said with a smile, "Alright then, I'll take a money tree!"
"No problem!" The boss beamed and began making the money tree sugar figurine.
He picked up a large spoon, scooped a spoonful of syrup from the pot, and poured it onto the white marble slab.
He used syrup to draw, and soon created a three-dimensional money tree.
He asked the cotton candy vendor next to him for help, asking the vendor to hold the money tree.
Then, the boss attached red silk threads to copper coins made of maltose and hung the coins on the branches of the money tree.
In no time, the money tree was finished.
Under the sunlight, the money tree glittered and shone, dazzlingly beautiful.
The owner wrapped a string of small colored lights around the tree trunk and then gently shook the money tree.
Many sugar-painted coins collided with each other, making a crisp and pleasant tinkling sound.
"Little sister, listen, does the money tree make a sound?" the boss asked Xu Zhixun with a smile.
Xu Zhixun said with a grin, "I did hear the sound, so I'll give you the money!"
"I'll pay!" Long Qian took out his phone, scanned the QR code on the candy stall, and paid 60 yuan.
Although Long Qian is an ancient person, he has been frequently visiting the modern world since he got a modern ID card.
With Xu Zhixun's help, he not only learned modern writing, but also how to use a mobile phone and a computer.
Therefore, paying with a mobile phone by scanning a QR code is not a difficult task for him.
He is now a shareholder of Lejia Home Furnishings Group, with an annual income of over ten million yuan.
Every time he came to the modern world with Xu Zhixun, he would never let her spend any money; he would always pay for everything...
"Here you go, little sister," the shopkeeper handed the money tree candy to Xu Zhixun, "Eat this money tree, and you and your boyfriend will definitely become rich!"
"Thank you, and I wish you great wealth and booming business!" Xu Zhixun took the money tree and turned to Long Qian, saying, "Let's go!"
Long Qian looked at the money tree and said with a smile, "This money tree is very auspicious. I want to buy three money trees and give them to my parents and grandma."
Xu Zhixun chuckled and said, "Of course! Let's buy the Money Tree when we leave Dreamland!"
"Okay." Long Qian smiled slightly.
Next, Xu Zhixun and Long Qian walked together toward the gate of the Dreamland.
The two walked along, eating the money tree candy figurine as they went.
Because the money tree was a bit heavy, Long Qian helped Xu Zhixun carry it.
Xu Zhixun broke off a branch from a sugar painting tree, took a bite, and ate it with relish.
“This place is really wonderful, just like heaven,” Long Qian said, starting to eat sugar and draw tree branches. “Back where we’re from, we don’t have sugar figurines that make money trees.”
Xu Zhixun said with a smile, "I've never seen a money tree candy figurine before. This is the first time I've ever seen one!"
And so, the two walked and chatted.
Long Qian whispered to Xu Zhixun that he had already built an amusement park in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
The amusement park will officially open in five days.
